>>12674891Yes, it was. You only had to call them from another route and battle them, most of them were really close to where routes ended/started. so you didn't even need to walk 100 steps like with the VS Seeker.
I don't remember at what level I defeated Clair, but I do have the first Hall of Fame and there I can see that I beat the game with a team ranging from 40~48. You might be doing something wrong if you can't defeat her, considering you can catch and train a fucking Mamoswine near her gym.
>>12674965You are the one who has to make the calls, there's always at least one available to rematch at every time, no matter how many times you beat him.
>>12674963That's funny because I defeated her with a Guts/Facade Heracross myself.
