I decided to stop being anal about Budew and just use it and accept that it'll be missing out on some moves for evolving into Roselia late. Since my ways of increasing happiness are limited my only alternative is running around for hours to happiness grind and that seems lame as fuck. That being said, I never knew that using X Items increases happiness for some reason so I'll amend the usual "no items in battle" rule and say it's okay to use X Items against wild pokemon. Surely GameFreak did not intend for people to be this autistic about Budew.
>>55705573>>55705781>Crit Hyper Beam from TaurosFuckin' ouch. Not much you can do about that. The irony of Fearow taking out Pidgeot isn't lost on me. Thankfully you had 4 great pokemon for the champion fight. Blue having Eevee and Wartortle is hilarious too.
Starmie is OP, and with dual STABs it's just unfair. Hypno is solid too, glad you got one with cool coverage options. Congrats!
>>55705826Just name them anything, it's not that deep. I named Budew "buddy" for crying out loud.
