>>97453527Cute image, anon. But I am being serious on that I hope she doesn't let it die. Like, the Spheal line is my favourite Water type in gen 3 and if trained properly, it could help her out massively in the late game and it'll come extra helpful with the fourth member of the Elite 4.
....She just needs to keep it away from Grass / Electric types (fighting / Rock as well but they're not important), and not make any massive fuck ups and it'll survive. I know the champion uses a Ludicolo (that may have Giga Drain) so she best keep it away from that and if she plays the post game and fights Steven, she really needs to keep it away from Cradily (which HAS Giga Drain) and while Steven has an Aggron with Thunder and Solarbeam, its special attack is laughable so the only dangerous thing the Aggron has is Earthquake (its other move is Dragon Claw). Oh, and Steven has a Claydol as well (which would give Pekora PTSD and I think it has Reflect / Light Screen). But that's ONLY if she's doing post game.
>>97453561Isn't the only reason they have 4 healing items is because it's a double battle?
>>97453467The only time I nicknamed Pokemon is if I was playing Mystery Dungeon or if I had female pokemons (which are easier to nickname).
