Alright, Brock through! I've no idea how many times I've done this particular stretch of Kanto, and I don't know how many I will in the future, but this was a particularly smooth one.
>Rei/BarbWent with this and Blue first to try and pick off Pokémon that would be terrible against Brock, but aside from Drillo who I found as a Kakuna, I basically encountered exclusively Pokémon I wanted to leave for the other runs, so that's why the latter just went solo-run on the gym.
>GraceWanted to try and make it a point to beat Brock without evolving into Charmeleon, but hitting Lv. 16 after beating Onix basically made it an irrelevant effort in terms of showing off. I was ready to try and be clever by swapping Glacier out if he burned Geodude so Darts could wait it out, but turns out Ember being a special attack just ruins Brock's team.
>YachikoWent a little overboard with the catches, but I'm no Ash; Chuka would've been defined shite against Brock. Luckily, I managed to not only get Freebu to Confusion-fuck Brock up, but a Nidoran as back-up in the team too(Even though I would've preferred if it showed up to Grace too.) PS: I always forget Brock has infinite Full Heals for some reason.
Right, next up is Misty. Let's hope that Mt. Moon Raticate doesn't fuck anyone up.
>>39823870Oh, so that's how you're doing it. Personally, I'm just doing the whole "swap your starter with the first thing you can find".
