Goddammit, I really fucked up here.
Everything was going so well too. I went onto Route 3 to take care of the trainers there and grinding up Harvest into a Butterfree, catching Pet Shop in the process. Then I grinded both Pet Shop and Survivor up to level 10 and decided to hit up Mt. Moon
Mt. Moon was a complete breeze, though Pet Shop did accidentally knock out the Zubat I was planning on capturing. But hey, at least Green Day evolved and began to kick ass immediately.
I managed to get out just fine and made it to Cerulean City, catching a Sandshrew in the nearby grass just in case and deciding to head up north to grind on Nugget Bridge.
And this is where I fucked up royally. Everyone but Green Day was severely underleveled and I knew I should have grinded everyone up to speed, but I got cocky and impatient and went for it anyways.
Dicklip started with Pidgeotto, which I managed to kill with Ratt, but not before it Tackled me and brought me dangerously low. He sent out Rattata next and I was forced to go to Green Day and put it to sleep, wittling it down. But before I could finish it off, he went Charmander. I knew at this point that I needed Ratt to kill this, but it was far too low to take a hit, so I needed to heal it up. But to do that, I would need to sack something. Ultimately, I had to sack Survivor to heal up Ratt, and Ratt did indeed take both it and Abra out. Last up was his own Rattata, which was still asleep. I got cocky and decided to attack it instead of healing, thinking it would stay asleep.
It didn't, and it killed Ratt, who was my ace.
I'm fucking devastated. I have to go back and grind everyone up to speed, but I'm not sure up to what level. Should I go up to 17 for everyone? Or push higher and go for 20? Should I knock out the surrounding routes or go for the nearby grass?
