#magnemite zubat and drilbur alone are just such god tier encounters alone nvm all 3

[narwhalandchill]

anyhow tonights pokemons updates wahoo

So clays team just got murdered in cold fucking blood by none other than petulias quiver dance fueled rampage Once More 💀 shes also even faster now bc thanks to the power anklet she came holding in the NPC trade that i could use for some extra speed EVs from that pokemon breeder on route 6 w the minccino + deerling who i used to grind levels instead of the usual audinos. zoroark is also lightning fast now for the same reason

surf HM means more encounters! first picked up frillish from virbank city and then a basculin from aspertia which is whatever but at least a defensive ghost type could prove interesting esp since mine got water absorb. then got VERY excited winning the 50-50 between aron and axew in mistralton cave when using repel strats except. its a fucking. rivalry axew thats a girl. when like 97% of NPC pokemon are male 😭😭😭 this is so ass whyyy . she has an atk boosting nature but like . rivalry is such a nerf idek if shes worth it even for like. drayden .

chargestone cave got me my magnezone And a ferroseed which like aside from the homophobia (iykyk) is a good encounter at least . also zoroarks bird killing crimes have been amended bc i was informed that it is a common enough rule to implement in nuzlockes that if u kill ur encounter by accident u do get 2 more tries to catch that same mon. so i did end up getting my tranquill after all but with how much of an absolute powerhouse fig the crobat has been throughout the run its hard to see her being of use unfortunately . fig is just such a consistent mon with excellent returns every time man

the team is also getting closer and closer to fully evolved!! everyones so big now!!! pats still not a samurott yet tho and unfortunately for at least the time being zip the herdier turned stoutland Has been benched in favor of n's zoroark but even if this retirement turns out permanent for him i still owe him so much for being the bulky reliable best boy of the early game all this time . so he can rest easy knowing he did an great job

fridge the magnezone is More of an unkillable defensive wall than ever now especially with leftovers, only thing theyre rly lacking is just a proper special electric move thats not . volt switch or thundershock lmao but this is just a learnset issue . discharge is coming up eventually

myyr as an excadrill has also joined petulia in the weapon of mass destruction category and clay giving the bulldoze TM Finally nets us a physical ground STAB for her that doesnt require two turns like dig does . zoroark is also looking pretty terrifying in his own right but my current lack of TMs for all the coverage moves it can access for that True beast mode experience is still somewhat of a handicap. at least shadow ball TM is soon for ghost coverage (altho. if its ghost i need im too much of a chandelure gigafan not to just use a litwick 💀)

and as is now tradition aka. the current crew:

hehe. im rly having fun
