>>58807719I grabbed the Coin Case in Celadon City, and after grinding the Game Corner until I could afford Hyper Beam, I was ready. The fight began with Bolt versus Surge’s only Pokemon: a Raichu three levels above my level cap of 25. Bolt moved first and took down nearly half of Raichu’s HP with a critical hit, taking some recoil in the process. Raichu responded with a Mega Punch for 37 damage, leaving Bolt with under half HP. Since it wasn’t a crit, Bolt had the chance to land a second Double-Edge, leaving Raichu with only a fraction of its HP. Sadly, another Mega Punch was the end for Bolt.
I switched in Thorn, who shrugged off Raichu’s third Mega Punch of the fight and finished Raichu with a Seismic Toss. Didn't even need Hyper Beam.
Bolt’s sacrifice will be remembered.
With that, Surge was defeated, and next up is Erika. All I have to do is train up Shiv, my Spearow, ten more levels or so, and that fight should be a piece of cake.
>>58803703I'm looking at the encounter tables and it looks like you can get Abra either way? Even then, I think you should go for Oddish. Sleep moves are underrated.
>>58803706Sabrina is basically designed for a setup sweeper since her first Pokémon doesn't have any attacking moves. Do you have a Pokémon that can learn Swords Dance, Amnesia, etc? Swift is an option so you have 100% accuracy even after Flash.
Sabrina is one of the few gym leaders where the fly/dig invulnerability glitch is a viable strategy, if you're into glitches. I beat Sabrina that way in one of my Yellow runs a couple years back.
>>58807376That E4 run was awesome, glad you and your team pulled through. Respect for taking the team into Steven too, excited to hear the update.
>>58807560Nice, Dugtrio with Dig is the Surge cheat code. Voltorb is a good catch, I think when it evolves it has the highest Speed stat in Kanto, right? Good luck for Rock Tunnel. I think your Pidgeotto could be great against Erika once it learns Fly.
(5/5)
