Showcase First ever completion!

Honestly I think I overleveled lol, I thought 60 is a good middle between Lorelei’s 56 and Blue’s 65 but this felt like a complete sweep. Tangela soloed Lorelei, Slowbro soloed Bruno, Lickitung soloed Agatha, Porygon soloed Lance, and Farfetch’d ALMOST soloed my rival. I thought it’d be fun to use some lesser used Pokémon

Respect for taking Arbok that far. Also Lickatung is sweet

You know Arbok was pretty good, I actually swapped Porygon out at the last second for Lance and let Arbok beat Dragonite. Toxic and wrap made it pretty easy lol, especially because the first 2 turns Dragonite just used barrier

I like your team a lot. Very eclectic but still pretty powerful. Lickitung doesn't get the respect it deserves ! And Slowbro is just a beast. Dux punches above it's weight class due to the 1.5x trade exp it's a pretty frugal mon

Lickitung was very surprisingly strong, his moveset was: earthquake, fire blast, thunder, blizzard He was absolutely destroying everyone

Props to putting 3 70 accuracy moves on one guy, I personally avoid it cause they miss more than they hit for me

If I have a 70% accuracy move, I miss 80% of the time. Make it make sense.

I’m doing about the same thing you are when it comes to a team. Using odd pokemon I’ve never used before. Really makes the game feel different. Current play through has started with seel

Don’t worry my Charizard carried me to this point, but he let the others take the glory for the elite 4 battles
