>>32933999I lost my first Venipede(who I managed to snag only by walking through the grass on the second route and I cheered when I didn't get an encounter before the double grass) only for it to FUCKING DIE TO A CRIT IN IT'S FIRST FIGHT, my Growlithe who got focus fired by the Scraggy duo, and my Trapinch.got 1shot by a Darumaka fire Punch. Also a Grimer/Ratatta I could have had but Hugh killed it.
Cheren was going to be a nightmare, but I lucked out and got Riolu. So 1 hour of walking in circles while browsing 4chan later, I had a Lucario that trivialized Cheren and Roxie. Burgh was fine as well with Memedog and Ganon, and when my Trapinch died and I didn't want to pass up a chance for getting a Volcarona, I ran down to the relic passage, slapped on some repels and got a Drillbur who with a bit of grinding became an Excadrill and well, you can assume how well Elesa fared against THE BEST SPEEDRUN POKEMON in Gen 5. Now it's off to Clay but I've got my Vaporeon ready to go since during my Drillbur hunts I snagged a Water Stone.
I've honestly been VERY lucky in terms of catches,
