I arrive in Dewford, and grab the Old Rod straight away.
It's a win/win for me.. as I believe a Magikarp or a Tentacool will do well.
Out pops a Tentacool!
I decide to go for him... and nickname him..
MEGAMIND
Relaxed nature. So it definitely messes with his speed.. but at least the SpDef will get a boost.
I work on leveling up Megamind.. and notice it's not going to be easy.. especially with a 'slow' EXP Growth.. basically a zubat with water typing lol.. poor movepool atm.
Anyways.. i head to the graphite cave.. looking for something decent. Makuhita comes out of the wild! Nice. Thank god it has a high encounter rate.
Catch him.
Kahim the Makuhita. Has Guts.. which will be nice while I absorb status.. which 3rd gen has plenty of.
Nothing else but Steven and TM-Steel Wing come from the cave.. so looks like this is my squad for a bit..
Grovyle, Mighteyna, Makuhita, and Tentacool. I'm definitely going to need patience with those slow level-uppers.. but I can't get too attached.. Nuzlocke likes to break hearts.
Grovyle and Tentacool were able to handle the fighting gym.. and thankfully Meditite only does Focus Punch.. so as long as I kept attacking.. it was a breeze. The opposing Makuhita was kind of a difficult task though..
Such a bulky Pokemon.. it's unreal. I hope mine does the same.
I win, no casualties. [HOORAY!!!]. Then head to Slateport.
-btw, I've been playing a while.. I'm currently at Mauville-
Just been a long day, and played a bunch.. a bit tired of writing atm. so I won't bore you all.
Highlights.
I went North of Slateport.. and found an Electrike..
Crit kill ftl.. bleh. Would have been nice.
This time around.. I know May will have Combusken ready to go with Peck/Ember/Double Kick [what a fucking movepool man..]
So I make sure to level my Pokes up a bit more than hers.. so 25-26 is where we went. Tentacool handled them like a champ.. I was impressed.. I hope when he evolves.. he grows some more bulk and stability.
Get to Mauville and I will not underestimate my opponents again..
My Grovyle has no bulk whatsoever.. so it can't do much.. Mighteyna can't take hits.. so Manectric, etc will slaughter him.. I'm currently working on getting my Makuhita strong enough to get ready to face the Magneton that awaits him.. I don't feel he's ready.. I just don't. My Pokemon are so frail.. and I now understand why people say if you don't have Mudkip or Torchic.. Wattson is the devil. Too bad Tentacool is worthless in this gym.. his solid defense would be nice.. oh well.
As I go West of Mauville.. I run into an Oddish.. but I just box and save.
Raddish the Oddish I might add.
So here I am.. Mauville.. in wild grass.. preparing one of the toughest challenges for my team.. a few more levels and we're ready to go.
He has a Voltorb that likes to selfdestruct, the Electrike that has a decent shockwave + static, a Manectric that is very powerful and shockwave.. then the magneton.. vs the only pokemon i have that can handle it.. Kahim the NOW Hariyama.
edit; I've now grinded as much as my eyes and fingers can handle..
I mean.. cmon.. my Pokes have like 7 levels above most of them.. we have to do it. And as long as Fang can knock out the weak two in Wattson's group with Bite.. it can open up the battle for Kahim to use it's bulk and power to beat Magneton and Manectric.
I have that Shroomish in my PC.. so if things do go south.. and I get completely raped and fucked by crits, paralyzes, or just beat bad.. I can use Biscuit to level up and Mach Punch me to victory, hopefully.
