>>44248646 I was waiting for this.
Copy pasted from notepad.
It is I, the mono grass boy.
Because the game fucked me, it fucked me!
Anyways, made my way to Rustboro City.
I showed Roxxane the hardest rock of all, my dick, and fucked her ass.
Battle summary:
>Geodude survives Absorb, Rock Tomb almost kills Sam Fisher >Roxxane uses a potion, Sam Fisher crits and kills the dude >Sam Fisher levels up (14) >"It's super effective" >Deals basically no damage, it's as if he resists grass >Rock Tomb chunks Sam Fisher >Nosepass in now faster, Rock Throw connects >Sam Fisher almost dead >Absorb heals close to nothing >Sam Fisher is slow and weak, I'm not losing my starter like this >Switch to Kocaqi, Rock Throw misses (#Blessed) >Nosepass is faster, Rock Throw connects, Kocaqi almost dead >Absorb deals basically no damage and heals like 3 HP >I decide to sacrifice Kocaqi in hopes of saving my other Pokemon >Roxxane uses a Potion, Absorb heals Kocaqi another 3 HP >Well, this fucking sucks >It's either Koraqui dies or my entire team and I fail the run >Rock Throw hits, Kocaqi dies >Nosepass just a bit below half HP >Spruce Lee is all I got left, Sam can't survive a switch and Toodles stands no chance >Nosepass is faster, Spruce Lee tanks a Rock Throw, sets up Leech Seed >Next turn another Rock Throw connects, Spruce Lee still stands >Spruce Lee is taking these attacks a lot better than Kocaqi >Absorb + Leech Seed do just enough to finish Nosepass >Spruce Lee levels up (11) Honestly didn't expect to lose anybody with THREE GRASS TYPES, but whatever, that's life I guess.
Next is I don't fucking know, I'm playing semi blind off of memory from many years ago,
Should be easy with 2 grass types and a Skitty HM Slave...

Morty was ezpz to defeat, Doki Doki Shadow Claw'd her way through the entire gym, only Gengar surviving a hit, but quickly going down to a second one
On a more important note, my dear boy The Boogie is no longer with us, my hubris was too great and I ended up losing him to a Scyther I attempted to catch in the Bug-Catching contest, fuck them having Pursuit, that's some hot bullshit

Bugsy down. Got a little worried when Slippys Rock Throw only took out like 45% of Scythers hp despite being 4x effective. Luckily the first Quick Attack triggered a burn which pretty much sealed the match

>Feel really good about current team >Go to Safari Zone >Encounter a Donphan >Throw a Quick Ball >It fails >Donphan uses Magnitude 8 >It's a crit >Alluring Liz the Mawile is dead And now I'm not so motivated to continue the run.

Acquired the Storm Badge, but at a heavy cost
Chuck's Primeape fell instantly to Cher's crit Thunderbolt, Poliwrath going on the defensive until it managed to paralyze Cher, and fearing a Focus Punch I switched to Shimmy Jim to finish the job
Shimmy Jim was outspeeding Poliwrath and did a little over 1/4th HP each turn with Vine Whip, Poliwrath doing about the same with Surf. I had gotten Poliwrath down to the last sliver of health when it broke out a Body Slam that got a crit that killed Shimmy Jim, Doki Doki coming in to revenge
Sucks losing Shimmy Jim since it had been so long since last I used a Victreebel (I had even gotten a Leaf Stone, was just waiting for it to learn Razor Leaf as a Weepinbell), but thankfully I'm not exactly hurting for options
>>44252630 Ah shit, I see I'm not the only one losing precious members
You got this dude, don't let Alluring Liz' death be for nothing, your other boys and gals gotta see this through!
Nuzloren
>>44252736 Oh no, not Shimmy Jim! You would have liked Victreebel a lot. Has a good physical STAB in Leaf Blade + a nuclear special attack in Leaf Storm. I had one back in the day that I took all the way to Red.

From that point onward I only had grass types until Dewford, it's rough when your entire team shares a weakness to flying, bug and poison when nearly every trainer has these types.

>>44250089 Vs Lana
>Chinchou Geoff makes his debute!
He sets up two Nasty Plots as Bubble Beams hit him(the latter one lowering his speed).
Chinchou gets a final Bubble Beam in before Psychic, leaving Geoff in the red.
>Araquanid I'm in a bind. If Thundershock doesn't kill despite +4 and Expert belt, Geoff is dead. I can't really switch anyone else in since Hydro Vortex could very well oneshot. That being said, I think the chance of a low enough roll for Geoff to fail to kill is less than 10%, so I go for it.
>Araquanid used Bug Bite! >It's super effective! >Geoff Fainted! He... got outsped. I suppose I either had a slow Raichu, or Chinchou's final Bubble Beam may have caused a speed drop that I missed because I was slightly distracted.
Lovegood comes in to avenge her fallen friend, and oneshots Araquanid with an Acrobatics Crit.
>Shellder I Switch in Tidy on a Supersonic(which hits).
She Scalds it, and takes minimal damage from the retaliatory Water Gun.
Same stuff happens the next turn, except Scald both crits and burns. Tidy also snaps out of confusion.
Lana is an idiot and goes for a Full Heal, and Acrobatics finishes the battle.

Kiawe uses a Super Potion, and Acrobatics doesn't do that much.
Tidy uses Baby-Doll Eyes to lower the Marowak's attack, and it uses Will-O-Wisp in return.
Marowak's Hex hits way harder now, but I thankfully put it to sleep with Sing. Disable wears off, which is perfect.
Kiawe uses a Full Heal, which was the best case Scenario- if Marowak woke up and Hexed, it might have killed Tidy. Scald takes out the Marowak.
>Fletchinder I send in Tuffnut on a Peck.
Fletchinder keeps on Pecking as Tuffnut first Toxics it, then once more before a Merciless Scald Crit ends it.

>>44261043 hooooooooly fuck, that is probably the most obnoxious battle i've ever had.
it's a double battle, I knew that. nim leads with solrock and lunatone, I knew that. I spam charge on ryuji and calm mind on nozomi (the latter of which is actually a +2 for both spa and spd thanks to nim's field). what i did not know about this fight is that rock slide apparently has 100 fucking accuracy and 99.99% chance to flinch, because they both spammed it and got a flinch, every. single. FUCKING. turn.
after i burned through a dozen soda pops, i proceeded to one shot lunatone with nozomi's draining kiss, and hit solrock with ryuji's baby doll eyes. out comes inkay, who puts nozomi to sleep. apparently, hypnosis is also 100% accuracy in nim's bullshit field, fantastic. thankfully, nozomi wakes up the next turn, and kills inkay, ryuji kills solrock during this time period for a double kill on the same turn, out comes espurr, who starts setting up screens, but i double up on it for a thankfully easy kill.
my next catch is a sandshrew, which i will likely just make into a proper tank, because the next boss is dimensional rift galvantula and that will likely be ass to deal with without a ground type. also think i'll grind up the trubbish now

>They always die on me I was actually lucky enough to get one with Stench and EV training in this game is very fast (takes like 5-10 or so mins to max). Without Garbodor's bulk it just seems very iffy.
ALTHOUGH I actually just figured out trubbish can learn stockpile before the current level cap, so it might actually be really useful right now.

>>44263519 I suggest trying your best to save both Spritzee and Trubbish until you can evolve them, they're some of the very few mons that have access to calm mind and toxic spikes respectively.
You don't get z-dog in the game until way late, but collecting the pieces is still worth it.

Since it's a new thread, I'll go over the rules again: I'm Nuzlocking all 3 Gen III games at the same time, and dupes clause applies across all 3. So, if Sapphire gets a Zigzagoon, nobody else is allowed a Zigzagoon. This forces some interesting teams at the expense of the encounter pool drying up pretty fast -- sometimes multiple games go without any encounter at all on some routes.

Hey guys! Im looking to do a sort of genlocke thing without trading over, since i wanna experience new pokemon the entire way and have a very diverse team. Is there anything else i could do to make it interesting?

Quick Claw Scald sends Torracat deep into the red, but Bite leaves Tidy in kill range as well.
Then we both switch out at the same time, I send in Tuffnut, he sends in...

this isn't all the captures i can get for now, but it's all the ones i want to get for tonight. the kecleon thief sidequest was definitely very...wonky, i'm glad it didn't result in a team wipe but i did it very sloppily.
emotionless keta is going to be a big issue, because his super special OC move gale strike apparently gains an added grass typing in his field, meaning my initial plan of training up the solrock and lunatone might not work, and i have two flying types right now (swablu is just too weak) neither of whom i think will do very well against his ace lucario. might just grind up solrock and lunatone and bullrush his team until they die, with the move tutor i can get solrock to learn flare blitz, and then hope freya/hoggmeister can clean up whatever's left. revenant keta also has a varied team which i won't even get hints for, so that'll be fun, but that's a problem for future me.

Grinding up my team for Tate and Liza. Knowing how Surf works in Gen III, I dont expect too much trouble. Will probably retrieve Cacturne the Nuzleaf from the box for a last hurrah.
Lost Musharna the Grumpig to the usual bullshit, Crit Selfdestruct. I threw Musharna against that Electrode since she was the 2nd bulkiest mon but there you go.

Quoted By:
>>44271442 Aw man, not Musharna! Unfortunately Grumpig doesn't have that great physical defense, but looking at your team I think losing someone was very likely
As for the Mime, they don't have as much SpA as Kadabra, or even Abra, Mime having 100 with Abra and Kadabra having 105 and 120 respectively
100 is far from bad tho, and having Ghost/Electric (and Water in my case) coverage besides a Psychic STAB is nothing to sneeze at
Saruin (Rejuvenation Intense)
so this game gives you details about the gym leader's ace, their special move, how the terrain benefits them, and what possible Pokemon you can use for counters - unfortunately what it DIDN'T tell me is that Emotionless Keta is fought in a double battle. battle as a result was awful>Turn 1 >Turn 2 >Turn 3 >Turn 4 >Turn 5 >end of battle

HAHAHAHA he was a fucking joke. guess being dead did make his battling skills worse. not posting new team since there's no update on it (i did swap garm for angela but she wasn't needed)
started with nozomi as fairy type attacks are powered up a lot in revenant keta's blessed field and i plan to set up, and so
>vs Gabite absolutely fantastic lead for me, nozomi is phys def invested with draining kiss, i build up to +3 with calm minds, then one shot, it's stomping tantrums barely do anything.
>vs Roselia not staying in on a poison type i struggle to hurt, i swap to hecate and smack it with a psyshock, psychic moves are powered up a lot in the blessed field as well, easy one shot.
>vs lapras i had NOTHING good for this, so i swapped in rocky because i assumed i could take a hit. and i was absolutely 100% right. rocky thankfully landed two rock tombs for an easy two shot, but was brought low by water pulse. need to be more careful in the future
>vs donphan aaaand here's where the cheese started. i brought hecate for a great reason - cosmic power gets doubled in the blessed field, on top of psyshock already being boosted. donphan could know knock off, but i have no item on hecate, and i have a few super potions. if it did have knock off, it did not use it against me, only hit me with weak rock tombs, and i get up to +6 in defenses with hecate very fast.
and after that, the battle's over, nothing he has can really hurt me afterwards. donphan goes down in 3 psyshocks (after getting an annoying crit). shiny ninetales comes out, at +6 i reason i can take a solar beam since it does have drought, but it doesn't even have it, only some vague hidden power that's SE against hecate, it dies to psyshocks.
final mon is gallade, the ace, which just spams drain punch and does like 8 damage. hecate has 90 hp. easy psyshock spam for the kill, and i reason i could probably have messed with it using nozomi if i did get unlucky.
that's the punch badge

Pipeline's Mud Shot was too weak to two shot Manectric and was doing some considerable damage with quick attack. Mud Shot would put Manectic in red health, so Wattson would just heal Manectric with Potions. Still, I keep spamming Mud Shot, and eventually Manectric went down.

Anonymous
>>44284442 Honestly, if you just started and it was a turtwig, it won't take long to restart.
The only mercy rules I do is that if a dead mon can be used for some purpose that's not battling/breeding/HMs I can bring it out of the dead box, and sacred ash can revive one mon. Anything more feels tacky
Saruin (Rejuvenation Intense)
Quoted By:
after nearly 2 hours of hunting down zangoose and making basically every mon i've ever used level 30 in the process (got my hands on the exp all from the casino) and another 2 hours of trying to beat morty without just potion spamming, here i am. i'm pretty sure the next gym locks me in once i enter with maybe the ability to access the PC, so i won't chance it, this'll be the team i use. new member broque the mr. mime looks to be a great screens setter, and freya finally got calm mind for free nasty plot + amnesia every turn. i also beat wanderer novae a second time and got an eevee, which i'll likely make into a vaporeon or a sylveon eventually, but i want to fight the gym now
there is a side quest i can do now which involves trying to find a way to beat a level 50+ kingdra with perfect type coverage or some stupid bullshit, which i'm just going to ignore for now for hopefully obvious reasons. i think it gets walled by shedinja if i manage to get that mon.
>>44284442 no mercy. if they're dead, they're dead, absolutely nothing brings them back. like the other guy said, restarting shouldn't take too long.

I couldn't find any info on the subject so I started to theory craft it on my own.
Like I can use Pokemon to breed, but only one egg from each couple and after I get the egg I dismiss both parents.
So I need to sacrifice 2 Pokemons to get 1 with egg-moves and possibly a decent nature/ability.

She then Passes the Baton to Lovegood, who takes slightly more than half her health in damage from Razor Shell.
Her +4 Acrobatics OHKOs the isopod.
>Ariados I underestimate the spider something fierce and I pay the price: Sucker Punch kills one of my most helpful team members.
I send Reginella in for vengenace.
Ariados uses another Sucker Punch, and Air Cutter Misses!
Another turn of Sucker Punch and Air Cutter lands Reginella almost in the red, and Ariados with only a sliver of health left after a crit.
I switch out Reginella and Sucker Punch fails on the incoming Tuffnut.
A final Sucker Punch can't stop Scald from ending the fight.
This death saddens me, it was so avoidable. I just thought that either Drifblim would be to bulky to die, or Ariados just too weak, or some combination of both.

>>44286365 Well, there are no rules because A. Breeding violates none of the 'core' rules of Nuzlockes and B. No one really breeds in Nuzlockes.
My personal view is that dead Pokemon can't breed for obvious reasons, I should only breed once with a couple, and the baby replaces the mother/non-Ditto if I'm going to use it. The only time I think I've ever bred though is a rom hack where I needed an Azurill to trade and had an Azumarill (or something like that idr) because overall I think breeding is kinda cheaty anyway

Does each level of a cave count as a new area for a Nuzlocke?

>>44300452 What would Mamoswine do against Gyarados and Charizard? Especially Gyarados, since then it's gimped with -1 Attack for the rest of the fight unless I switch, which I want to minimize as much as possible
Since I play on Set and with limited healing in battle, I kinda have to have someone who can in theory solo someone as dangerous as Lance, which means packing Electric and Ice moves on one mon /at least/
And yeah, the Rhy family has really low Sp Def, I guess I was kinda hoping that my good HP stat and Careful nature would be enough, plus I wasn't entirely sure if the Rival's Haunter was packing Shadow Ball yet, guess I've been spoiled by Gen 1-3 shitty movesets

after another eternity of searching for drifloon (apparently, it's a 2% encounter at night, and i'm playing on an unreal clock that's entirely too fast), i decide to move on with plot. trainers are starting to get really hard now, to the point where i'm expecting to lose mons to randos, and basically have set a reminder to constantly stock on moomoo milk/ice cream.
aelita wasn't difficult. broque the mr. mime utterly ripped her apart with psybeam/icy wind, the only damage i took was mienfoo's fake out. from what i remember on past playthroughs, tho, her hawlucha has flying gem + acrobatics, which easily could have 6-0'd my entire team had i not one shotted it.
crawli (who is a woman now?) was easy, if a surprise. thankfully i had freya out front who killed the araquanid, nanashi burned golisopod so seviche could take it out, and kumatora walled galvantula.
dimensional rift gyarados, on the other hand, i had to prepare for. i trained a mightyena i got in the deep sewers to be max defense/max hp evs, then spammed sand attack/healed/switched around to intimidate spam to where vaan the ambipom could come in, tickle it down to -6 atk and def, and then go for the kill.
still can't beat the other big optional boss, kingdra, for now, but i'll probably try and attempt it after i beat narcissa. next up though is giratinafag who gave me a lot of trouble when i played this game a while ago, so we'll see how that goes.
>>44291739 it happens. i'd recommend playing something other than pokemon for a while instead of monotyping/gaia
>>44299563 usually i'd just say that the location listed on the pokemon info sheet must be unique (not doing that for this game though lol). but it's entirely up to you. just feels kinda cheaty in easier games
>>44300956 you're likely better off getting lapras ice shard and making it decently physical and bulky, those dragonites hit really damn hard. might overlap with dakota though
>>44301417 RIP for your bud
Nuzloren
>>44300059 That's a real shame losing Hera. Rhydon is actually one of the best Pokemon you can bring in to face Lance since it has access to Avalanche (barring his Gyarados and Blizzard Dragonite, of course).
People meme on the Lance for having three Dragonites, but that's part of what makes the HGSS league deceptively challenging. And don't discount the E4, either. They have some pretty nasty surprises if you go in blind.
Ronja
>>44301744 >you're likely better off getting lapras ice shard and making it decently physical and bulky, those dragonites hit really damn hard Oh the Dragonites don't really worry me too much with the plan that I have, with max speed investment Lapras outspeeds them with a +1 in speed easily, and one Ice Beam is enough with STAB factored in
I don't know if Ice Shard would do enough damage to oneshot, and that would kinda bring me back to square one, and if I invest too much in Attack I lose out on either Special Attack or Speed which could cost me dearly when trying to take out the non-dragons on his team
With my rules I kinda can't afford to play bulky/defensively unless I get a mon with great defenses and a recovery move, and even then I'm much better off going in with a glass cannon since I can't afford to get hit anyway
>>44301823 I was hoping to keep her for Red, but thinking about it I'm probably better off with Gliscor in the long run anyway since it isn't weak to Iron Tail
My strategy for Red in HGSS is to use an Electrode to steal his Pikachu's Light Ball (the fucker has Rayquaza level offenses with it which is just stupid) and then use Rain Dance to get rid of the Hail, then sending out a Ground type to set up on the gimped Pikachu and then sweep
It's either that or grind to high 70s/low 80s, which nope
Saruin (Rejuvenation Intense)
>>44301931 You know for the longest time I thought lapras got dragon dance on level up and at +1 max atk ice shard should kill the dragonites reliably with Gyarados being easy setup fodder. But yeah nah it's an egg move along with curse lol
Regardless, that's fair. Hope it works out!
Nuzloren
>>44301931 Seems like a sound strategy for Red. That being said, you gotta beat Lance first.

>>44302139 Thank you, hopefully it does, I try my best doing as much strategizing and preparation before these things, but there's really only that much you can guarantee before things like misses and crits come into play

Most of the mons on my team won't have that much utility in later games, so I'm kinda trying to balance what will be useful later versus what could be helpful right now
Take Hypno for example, I made a point to "use it up" in Gen 1 since it's insanely helpful in Gen 1, but not so much after the Special split and the other general nerf to Psychic types
I think that's why I love the autismlocke so much, since it's just this massive puzzle that's never quite the same and can only be predicted so much, it's really quite fascinating

It has a total BST of 500 so you think it'd be alright, but then you see that it's stat distribution is very uniform, only 18 point difference between the highest and lowest stats.
But in BW2 you don't get much chance for any water pokemon until after the 5th gym (Psyduck, Azurill before the 1st gym, and Ducklett before the 5th) so I ended up just keeping it. Really should have used it in an earlier game but oh well.

>mother crobat also very easy, kliffie was MVP.
>nim beginning of awful shit. thought i would have an easy time because freya can get up to +4 spa and spd instantly in a psychic terrain. turns out lunatone is really fucking bulky and it, too, loves to calm mind, and solrock is really annoying too. i had to roar out lunatone with garm, sacrificing it, and had to sack vaan too before getting a very shaky win with smokescreen spam + kliffie.
>madelis actually very easy, other than her cinccino, who did not have skill link, so though it's rock blasts were boosted cliffie facetanked them all and the rest of my team cleaned the rest of hers.
>neved this battle was fucking terrible. despite it being a 6v12 with aelita as a partner, her team is dogshit and every single one of neved's pokemon is 4-7 levels above mine, because that's fair. while kliffie managed to clutch out this win as well, it really came down to some very convenient hax (his tentacruel got full para'd by ryuki multiple turns, froslass missed blizzard a lot, barbaracle missed rock slide a lot) and i still lost several team members, most notably freya which REALLY sucks
>melia also very painful, i had to grind up tlachtga and angela and yet still her pokemon were on crack, her togekiss survived a 252 atk poison gem poison jab from tlachtga the seviper for instance, nearly all of her pokemon had set up moves so kliffie had to work overtime yet again, by the end i was completely out of healing items with 2 more dead mons
and now i have to face previously probably the most brutal gym leader in the game, so that's nice too.
i've lost enough of my team to where i need a lot of grinding to get a lot of viable replacements, and losing so many members at once has been genuinely very draining, so i'm probably going to take a break for a day or two

Grenadine was able to get it down to about half, but not without taking serious damage. Mystique came in and finished it off. Charizard came in and I sent in Hedvika knowing full well an air slash could be bad. It was, knocking her down to below half and her waterfall didn't do quite enough. I risked switching in Grenadine hoping for a shadow claw or something, but another air slash took her from us. rip ;__;. Cahl was able to survive an air slash to take down charizard. From there it was cake, Gretchin's ice shard one shot all three dragonite and two shot aerodactyl for the win.
on to kanto, but i have no idea who should take the 6th slot. suggestions?

>no way to get back to gearen city to ev train efficiently (in earlier versions you could go back, but they removed that, thanks jan!), and can't use the move relearner, nor can i get actually good healing items like ice creams/moomoo milks >have basically no way to get better mons to beat valarie, who has a fucking insane water team with boltbeam coverage (the 'bolt' bit stronger from the terrain, btw, and water moves are all 1.5x damage too) >her floatzel has auto-swift swim, perfect evs/ivs, and perfect coverage to the point where it killed tangrowth in one hit, and the primarina can hit basically anything i throw at it for SE damage while also having perfect EVs/IVs >just from reading on the wiki, her mons are equipped with shit like assault vest/rindo berry/wacan berry to tank SE shit >all of my 'good' mons are dead and the rest don't really have any way to beat valarie I love how the entire point of this stupidly, stupidly hard fight is to just cross a small body of water, when there's literally several other perfectly fine solutions (just give me the badge without a battle so I can surf, ferry people across with your primarina, go around the dumb vines blocking our path elsewhere in the jungle).
I think I'm done. I could train up another team, I set the rule I wouldn't game over if I wiped, but I just don't see myself beating this. Going to likely play through the rest of Rejuvenation silently, not-Nuzlocke, just to get a general sense of what to expect for v13 (and because i kinda sorta enjoy this game in spite of its dumb bullshit), then come back in a few weeks or so to start maybe a drayano nuzlocke
>>44323566 >>44319136 amazing catches! shiny snover in particular looks rad as fuck
>>44325417 maybe try chinchou to lanturn? your team seems like it'll struggle with red's blastoise in the long run
good job on clearing the league with only 1 death btw! f for your bro, though

>>44325681 bummer about your run dawg.
unfortunately, chinchou has an impish nature (+def -spa) AND has illuminate, so it's pretty worthless. i'm thinking my poliwrath can tank most of what blastoise is throwing at it and go for a hypnosis/focus punch combo. or maybe go risky and runny sunny day/solarbeam on magmar/magmortar. of course all of this is assuming they make it that far. worst case scenario i'm guaranteed an electabuzz encounter on route 10
im thinking of running tauros? not a great nature (sassy, +spd -spe) but has intimidate and could run rock slide for charizard/eq for pikachu/just seems like a fun mon ive never really used before

>>44325747 tauros is a very fun mon to use, it helped out a ton in my ultra moon nuzlocke. intimidate is a very useful ability especially on set mode, too.
remember, though, misty and her starmie exists too, but i guess you can just leave her for later

Grant draws first blood on this adventure. Refrigirate, that sure is an ability I didn't know about. OH WELL. Rest in peace Sly. A shame since he's my only grass type.

>>44331187 The ability Refrigerate turns normal type moves into ice type moves. So Sly got slapped with a super effective move.With hindsight being 20/20 I should've been leading with Lulu but what can you do.

>>44330404 Refrigirate is Amaura's signature ability, it's actually what makes it one of my favorite fossil pokemon.
Sucks that it's stats/move-pool are poopy.

three kanto badges down. pretty uneventful so far. looking forward to having Hornsby up to speed with the rest of the squad
>>44330667 geodude line rules early on. good luck with whitney

>>44331629 Amaura did seem a little interesting but I ended up going with a Tyrunt since I figured I probably wouldn't get many chances at getting a dragon type in my team. With Bagon and Axew being in previous routes but they didn't come up first.

>>44331740 Counter point - While Tyrunt is cute, Amaura is an ice type Chikorita, AKA. Best Johto starter.
