>>48147308No, you can evolve it anywhere in the mountain
>>48146882It's not really that ridiculous given you can get stuff like Gyarados, Crobat or Rotom around the point it's available which are stronger
Plus while it may be good versus Gardenia and Fantina it really does wear out its use quickly and suffers badly against pretty much every major battle afterwards thanks to that horrendous typing. I know you acknowledge that in your post but seriously it falls off a cliff in terms of viability past Fantina since literally right after her is a route full of black belts
