>>38765563Literally for me, I went to league with platinum with a team around 45-46(I like to be underleveled for the E4 and gyms), when I got to the psychic trainer Lucian, I realized he had such good coverage on his mons move wise that houndoom dark typing was irrelevant. After get thrashed, I did reset right before the battle and dumped the 6 unused rare candies I had on Staraptor and brave birded the fuck out that nigga. Ever since that day, Staraptor became one of my favorite normal/flying types, fucker saved my ass from being forced to grind for the E4.
