![]() ![]() Still, Leech Seed was a problem, and it took some luck with Roselia getting paralyzed for me to finally finish her off. What ultimately gave me an edge this time is Nancy – she can’t be paralyzed thanks to her electric typing, she can inflict paralysis with Thunder Wave, and her Swift attack did decent neutral damage. Roselia also carries Stun Spore and kept my Pokemon paralyzed. My biggest issue is with the combo of Leech Seed and Mega Drain, which gives the opponent a steady stream of healing that proves problematic when I can’t take it out in one hit. We’ve seen it in the past when I struggled so much against Shroomish – unfortunately, I would have many similar problems against Roselia. Additionally, while MaiMai’s Acid attack could be supereffective against standard grass types, the most common grass Pokemon also have a poison typing that gives them protection against it. While neither MaiMai nor Nancy is weak to grass type attacks, grass Pokemon resist both electric and water. Rose had two level 16 grass types, and it didn’t take long for me to realize that this was another troublesome type for my team. I headed east to route 118 first and there encountered a trainer to battle, an aroma lady named Rose. My first mission after defeating Wattson, then, was to go and get my encounters for the nearby routes. Ground type Pokemon are sturdy and powerful, and moves like Earthquake are popular for non-ground Pokemon to keep in their moveset. However, they had a common weakness that I knew would give me problems fast if I didn’t do something about it: ground types. These two made a pretty decent pair, with typings that gave them advantages against pretty different types of opponents. This left me with only two team members to work with: (Negative) Nancy the Minun and MaiMai the Tentacool. ![]() Their skill took the challenge out of my challenge – so it was time to say goodbye. Slick had only one weakness and a great number of advantages with his water/ground typing, and Runnypants could defeat almost any neutral-type opponent with his ridiculous special attack power. Each a champion in their own right, heroes who could easily smash through any opponent who stood in their way. My team had two Pokemon whose levels were higher than Wattson’s ace: Slick the Marshtomp and Runnypants the Kadabra. But getting my third gym badge meant it was time to let some Pokemon go, and I knew exactly what decision I needed to make in order to up the ante. The Restartlocke challenge is meant to be challenging, and with my team consisting half of overleveled Pokemon Wattson didn’t stand a chance. I also kind of glossed over my gym battle with Wattson, and I had one very clear reason for that: it was boring. In the last chapter, I delivered the Devon Goods to Slateport City and solved the Trick House before having a deadly battle with my rival May. Greetings, adventurers, and welcome to the sixth chapter of this exciting journey through the world of Pokemon. ![]()
