OP here.
This file's super old (I started it the year it came out on 3DS VC and have only played it when I have time). I taught the Togetic. Flash, Fly, Headbutt, and Rock Smash without having to deposit/withdrawal. Krabby has Whirlpool and Strength. I even have a Natu in my party for Teleport (it's going away as soon as I use Phanpy or someone)
I'm leaning towards Phanpy; that's a good choice--but if I have to ditch Krabby, or even Togetic (it's only lv30-something) I'd have no problems with that. Using the aforementioned field move/HMs rule, if you'd help me construct a more viable team to eventually get to Red, that'd be appreciated.
Feraligar and Crobat stay for sure, and I don't think I'm ditching Weepinbell, though. It's lv40 and I've had a Leaf Stone for half the game. Just waiting 'til it learns Razor Leaf.
