I'm the retard doing a Nuzlocke of this game.
I'm just about to start the Ruse Cruise pt 2. Only one more death, an Octai that died during Polk, it died like a champ after my Thick Fat Occa Berry Krokizon plan failed due to Krokizon having fucking embarrassing special defense, and still taking like, 60, 70% on a Flamethrower it essentially resisted. Kept the Krokizon since it might still be useful for Darude, while I couldn't think of any future use for Octai.
Almost lost my Spilefree to complacency at the Triport trainer house, though. Fucking god Spilefree is picking up the slack where Pikotton left off. Modest, 31 SpA, 28 Spe, 26 Def, 24 HP, 18 SpD, and don't remember Attack, who cares. Best fucking game corner prize ever.
I was able to lock in an Oreon capture which felt nice. I'm not sure it's actually going to be any good, though. I'm not sure I "get" Oreon, though. And Jesus fuck, the sea routes all have the same shit. I've run out of encounters for two routes at the moment.
Because of my generous, probably bullshit, but fun Safari Bonanza rule, I have a near complete spread of Safari zone encounters, I think, thanks to remembering to keep Sweet Scent on a Cakeupple. That fucking Cakeupple has waited in the wings for nearly an entire game to be useful.
I spent the better part of the weak splashing some EVs on some pokemon I think I might use from heron until Grindhouse. Found good places for HP, Attack, Special Attack, and Defense, as well as Special Attack and Speed at the same time. I'm a little worried I have some systemic Special Defense shortages, especially since my Ayylmao has been Synchroing Bold on anything that I just don't want to have a negative nature in X, and my sole special tank (besides Semdemen and Premantom) is a Florigrace. Maybe I've overlooked something?
My current E4 team planned, assuming no tragedies, is Oburonyxo, Semdemen, Premantom, Spilefree, Spookzilla, and Warudio.
