Nuzlocke thread

Decided to see just how far I can progress in the game without fighting Brawly. I shooed off Team Magma, and now I'm heading north.

Squilliam and Thundina are now level 16, and while they're a lot stronger now, there's still a few persisting problems.

Squilliam is specially defensive, not physically defensive--as a result, she still takes Karate Chops and Low Kicks from Machop like a bitch--especially if they're crits. Keep in mind that she's supposed to be resistant to Fighting-type moves. Her main strategy is based on the coin-flip move Supersonic, and then poisoning with Poison Sting. Constrict, of course, is absolutely useless. I'll need to bring her up to at least level 18 before I'm confident with her.

Thundina--it's been four levels, and she still has not learned a single Electric-type move. I ended up giving her a Silk Scarf to help power up her only attacking move--Tackle, and it's still very weak. Howl helps, but it takes a bunch of them for the boosts to make any real difference. Her most powerful move is Thunder Wave.

As for my three Magikarp, Pineapples and Ol'Greg are now level 15--the point at which Magikarp learns Tackle <_<
They're five levels away from becoming Gyarados, which is good. I just now gave Azathoth the Exp. Share.

Hopefully exploring further beyond Slateport will not only help level up all these guys without having to grind in the same boring spot--I'll also be able to catch even more potential killers.

Are you playing on a handheld or are you emulating? Cuz I'm surprised you're not taking advantage of the fast forward abilities of an emulator.

>emulator

fast forwarding is super lame because you could literally just grind until you're level 100 in like, a couple hours

you don't HAVE to, of course, but like
if you're gonna fast forward at all, you might as well just do that

You always have to do everything the hard way.

ugh

one of these fuckers had an aron
who is immune to poison and quad-resistant to normal (my only two attacking types)

that fucking sucked

i think May is next--she's gonna fuck me up, so i think this is the end of the road
gotta fight brawly soon

where you at nigga?

Route 110

heading back to dewford

Decided to risk the entire playthrough and fight May.

I won. Now I'm at Mauville, doing stuff I have no business doing, because I still haven't even beat Brawly. <_<

All three Magikarp are level 15, except Azathoth who is level 16, because I keep forgetting to take off the fucking Exp. Share.

I think I'm more than ready to fight Brawly now, but I had to get myself a new party member first.
