>>58814097After that, I finished clearing Pokémon Tower, and the Ghost Marowak’s spirit was put to rest by Shiv’s Fly. After another easy Jessie and James battle, I got the Poké Flute, but Houdini was still way too underleveled for Koga, so I needed a safe place to train it up.
I decided to push through Silph Co. with Houdini leading. While I was there, I found another Rare Candy, bringing my total up to six, including the one each from Rocket Hideout and Pokémon Tower. I also found the TMs for Swords Dance and Earthquake, two great moves that’ll be useful later.
Most of the Rocket Grunts were free EXP since they’re loaded with Poison-types, which are easy prey for Houdini. While fighting them, Houdini learned Psychic, which let it one-shot most of their Pokémon. One Grunt did have a strong Hypno, though, and it Poison Gassed both Houdini and Sandman, so thank goodness for the Antidotes I bought earlier.
I also made use of Nightshade’s Normal immunity to switch in against Scientists with exploding Voltorbs or Electrodes. And I made sure not to fight Blue in Silph Co. yet, since his team has taken a big jump in level and my team stands no chance in its current state. Better to wait until after Koga to push further through Silph Co.
Now, it's time to fight Snorlax and make my way to Fuchsia City. I'm a little worried though, as its Headbutt is powerful and does a lot of damage. It doesn't help that my lead Pokémon, Houdini, is physically frail even at level 39. I might have to grind a little more first.
