Topic	Sneasel is so bad in Pokemon GSC
Charged151 02/09/24 8:48:55 PM #64:	DoctorPiranha3 posted... Yep. And to top it off, the Elite 4 was the hardest in this game because your main team was likely to be shitmons with shit movepools. Good luck getting past Lance's three fucking Dragonites with the shit maingame mons and without doing research ahead of time. What were they thinking?! I don't agree with this. For a few reasons. Dealing with Lance isn't that bad. Gen 2 lets you buy Ice Punch, which goes nicely on Kadabra/Alakazam, Feraligatr, Jynx, Slowbro, etc. You are also given Icy Wind from beating Pryce. If you are playing Crystal, you will almost certainly have Suicune that learns Aurora Beam at Level 41. Lapras is also an option although requires a guide/info to know how to get it. As for the rest, Will's team crumbles to going after the type that pairs with psychic of his Pokemon (they are all dual type), Koga's team isn't that good, Bruno only really has his Machamp which is a threat, and as for Karen, outside of Houndoom, not many of her Pokemon are all that threatening, particularly if you bring some Full Heals. As for having a team of shitmons...you are forgetting that the game is generous in terms of the Gen 1 Pokemon that you can get. Gen 2 Pokemon are surprisingly more rare, but there are a few good picks. Before facing the Elite Four, you do have a fair selection including... Normal Type: Tauros, Miltank, Ursaring Fire Type: Typhlosion, Magmar, Entei, Ho-Oh Water or Ice Type: Gyarados, Feraligatr, Lapras, Suicune, Lanturn, Jynx, Mantine Electric Type: Ampharos, Lanturn, Raikou Psychic Type: Kababra/Alakazam, Jynx, Espeon, Luiga Fighting Type: Machoke/Machamp Ground or Rock Type: Graveler/Golem, Donphan Dark Type: Umbreon Luiga and Ho-Oh you can only get before the Elite Four in Silver/Gold respectively. As for the Legendary Beasts, outside of Suicune in Crystal, the game gives you a Master Ball for a reason to use on a runner. Use it on whichever one you want. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few more viable picks, but that's just off the top of my head. Pick a few and you are good to go. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... <cite>Charged151 posted [p:978755463] in Sneasel is...
