I leveled KENTAVIOUS up until he learned Rock Throw (lv. 11), which makes the Falkner fight a joke. Mud-Slap from his Pidgeotto is super-effective, but did 5/31 damage per turn. Meanwhile, Rock Throw crit and one-shot the fancy pigeon.

I am playing on 3DS VC, so benching RODMAN because I don't want to play with Haunter forever. Shame, too - Gengar is so cool. Between Poison types, I'm leaning towards an eventual Crobat over Ariados.

Next up is Rte 33 and Bugsy. If I go to Azalea now I will guaranteed not run into any Pokemon I don't already have. I can grind a bit or just go into Bugsy knowing that my best two Pokemon both annihilate him.

Thinking ahead to Whitney. KENTAVIOUS is an obvious choice here, but he doesn't evolve until 25, and he is male and thus susceptible to Attract. D ANGELO, on the other hand, is female, learns Hyper Fang very early, and evolves to Raticate at 20. Definitely doable. Maybe the best call is . . . rely on both? Would love to go deathless this run so would rather not sacrifice a mon to Miltank.

Deeply disappointed I did not get Wooper on Route 32. I even went at night! But I learned that surfing in the Ruins of Alph is 100% chance of Wooper or Quagsire, so I'll just have to wait until then. Or get my guaranteed Slowpoke (more Zubats, but I already got one) in the Slowpoke Well in Azalea Town.
