Preparing for Iono was a bit worrisome because I didn't know how I was going to realistically handle her. But then I remembered that I have access to the desert now. So I flew real quick to Cascaraffa and went and found my next encounter, a Sandile right at the level cap of 24, that I named...
Moving past Bombirdier, we have to take on our first Team Star Boss. Without access to Scraggy or even Lokix (I'd used my Nymble encounter on a Murkrow that I named Sherlock) I went in with a pretty simple plan.
I lead Houndour against his Pawniard which immediately gets melted by a single...
4/10 it just seems like a pokemon that they just randomly gave a mega and it didn't get much better with the mega. Only saving grace for it is its bulk.
Toxicroak?
I'd say Aurorus here. I know Revavroom has steel moves but I think Arourus has just enough bulk to tank one hit and take it out with a Bulldoze which Arourus was able to learn by tm in generation 8 (which is the last gen it's been in).
Toxicroak vs Skuntank?
Right after Brassius we have to take on Titan Bombirdier which isnt that worrying but for most teams this actually would be.
I lead off with Arven to get an Intimidate drop and then switch into Tox. I get off a Poison Gas before being thrown to below half with a single Wing Attack. I switch...
Right after Klawf I can just immediately go take down Brassius as Houndour can easily wipe his entire team with just 4 flamethrowers.
My team Post-Brassius:
Zoë (Florigato) Level 18
Arven (Maschiff) Level 17
Loki (Houndour) Level 18
Neptune (Corphish) Level 18
Tox (Stunky) Level 18
Fang...
Alright returning to the run, I had completely forgotten that right after you leave Mesagoza you get access to the caves where you went through with Miraidon. So I went all the way back and snagged myself a Houndour, which I named Loki.
I took the time to run all the way towards Glasadeuo...
Thank you for letting me know. I haven't been on this site in a few years now and my old account I don't have the login saved. So I don't remember where to put most stuff.
Tox actually shined for the first bit of the early game. Zoë gets a bit walled by certain trainers and so Stunky did quite a bit of work with me spamming Acid Spray. It's guaranteed to harshly lower the targets special attack and deal fairly decent damage so it managed to take out even fellow...
So starting off we have to get through the single longest intro in Pokemon history.
After we meet our way too trigger happy rival Nemona, we get to finally pick our starter. I of course pick Sprigatito seeing as it's a dark run, and I name her Zoë. Meoswcarada reminds me of Catwoman and Zoë...
Don't really know if this is the right place to write all this but it's under the Scarlet and Violet section so I'm hoping it's okay. So basically imma write out my entire run as I go. Im pretty active in game so this should go by pretty smoothly. And if enough people like this (just lemme know...
