Well, I made it to Violet. I actually made it here a couple of days ago, but when I showed up...well, Madoka's gone home.

[He's dealing with it okay, but he's obviously hit by it.]

Anyway, I'm getting prepped to take on the Gym here. I've gotten some tips from a buddy of mine, but if anybody's got anymore, I'd appreciate it.

I've never done this before, a big challenge kind of thing. I've got a Marowak, a Buneary, a Sylveon and a Growlithe, all at least level 30 that I'm thinking of using as my main team. And then I got a Chikorita and a Litleo that are a little under level 30, if I need'em. That sound good?

I'm gonna be here a while, so if anybody's in town and wants to hang out, lemme know.

I think Marowak might be your best bet there.

I'm in Violet now. Oh, yeah, I've heard electric types are perfect for this gym.

I'd advise against using the Chikorita, if you can help it. As a Grass-type, it'll have a difficult time against that gym in particular.

Does your Buneary know an Electric-type move? If not, you might be able to teach it one in advance, to give yourself the advantage.

It's something worth considering. That kind of strategy can give you the advantage you need quickly, without necessitating raising an entirely different Pokemon of the proper type simply for their natural moveset.

If yer sure. I'm still sendin' ya a care package, if only because yer off in Violet.

Anyway, that's how it always happens. Ya meet plenty a good folk in this place, but it's rare anyone keeps. Wish I knew how it all worked.

[Riku cups his chin in his hand, hmming in contemplation.]

If your Marowak's got any rock moves, it'll probably be your best bet. Sylveon might help against his Honchkrow, but for the others, you're gonna have to get creative. Your Buneary might be able to learn an ice or electric type move, but otherwise, you'll want to play it safe. Watch out for Swagger and Hypnosis, and just try to endure it as long as you can.

[personal profile] islandshore 2015-10-22 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's not just about training-- strategy can make or break a battle. It also helps if you pick up TM's, but that's not required. Just makes things easier, especially since Pokémon like Marowak can learn a pretty wide variety of moves, like Ice Beam.

But I'm biased-- I like to give my team as many moves as possible, but I know that's just one way to battle. I'd say give it a try, and if he gives you a hard time, then worry about training.
