So what happened?
Apologies for the unannounced hiatus, but the nuzlocke is starting to finally come to a close.
So after beating Chuck, I chose to fight Pryce next, then Jasmine after, before dealing with the Team Rocket shenanigans at Goldenrod City. Nothing really interesting of note happened from Pryce to the Goldenrod Radio Tower stuff, so I'll skip over them just so we can get to the interesting stuff: the Clair gym fight.
Strap yourselves in, this is going to be a doozy.
Our victories over the past several battles have given us a bit of a power trip, furthered by the evolution of Blorp from Slowpoke to Slowbro. After some grinding to get everyone at level 40, here was the full team:
Patelliday the Lanturn
Slips the Quagsire
Blorp the Slowbro
Vilgax the Tentacruel
Emperor Splash the Gyarados
Captain Gnash the Kingler
Clair's leading Gyarados and twin Dragonair were mostly non-issues. Of course, as you might have been expecting, the issue was the dreaded Kingdra, which I realized was at Level 41, not Level 40. My team was already at a slight level disadvantage. Not too bad though, just by one level. I'll send my premier special defense tank, Vilgax to deal with it...
Sniper boosted crit STAB Dragon Pulse...
Dear God...
I guess I'll send out Blorp the Slowbro, he's pretty tanky, he should at least be able to get a Yawn off... aaaaand he literally got crit one-shot by a Dragon Pulse... (I also forgot to screenshot his death, stupid me).
Losing these two genuinely kinda hurt. They were some of my favorite team members.
I would send out Patelliday the Lanturn and have her fire off Choice Specs boosted Thunderbolts as well as sending out Emperor Splash the Gyarados to chip away at the Kingdra with Strength. It was hard fought, but we managed to finish the fight.
Great... time to grind up new team members...
I brought Vega the Staryu and Water Hazard the Shellder as replacements. I only had one Water Stone at the moment, so...
I'll get a new one from the Pokeathlon to give to Water Hazard later. That is, if she survives.
If I was allowed to swear on this platform, I would say all the slurs and aim them at this terrible excuse of a gym leader. What a sore loser.
Oh yeah, almost forgot about the Ho-Oh stuff.
Anyways...
Tune in for Part 7, the finale, where we'll challenge the League and hopefully evolve Water Hazard into Cloyster.
PC Box:
Bluack the Golduck
Pbbbit the Seel
(Honestly feel bad for never using these guys, but I'm not going to waste my life grinding these two up)
