@fer1323 Well if you're trying to counter dig, you may want to see if you could possibly find shuca berries.

Rheese Laudat

@AbysmalDemon@Dusksong@fer1323@LuckyBlackCat

"I take -huff- offense to that-huff-statement". Rheese declared between breaths as he ran up. In truth, he didn't actually take any offense to what Oscar had said, but it felt better to say that than to run up to the group wheezing. He had sprinted after them once Aedre decided to chase after Sophia. Normally physical activity wasn't all too difficult, but going from sitting to sprinting in only a moment wasn't exactly great for him...and the lack of cardio over the past week didn't help.

Truthfully he was a bit concerned for Sophia after what had just happened, but he thought she probably needed to be alone for a moment. That plan had failed the second the newest addition to their group had decided to go after her. In hindsight, it probably wouldn't be a good thing to separate with Hammer likely combing the town for them.

Finally getting his breathing under control he looked at Sophia with what he could only assume was an encouraging smile. "For what it's worth, I doubt any of us would have fared much better at this point...and returning your Purrloin at the end of the battle took a lot of courage. I think the bald gym leader guy thought so too." Rheese said. He meant every word of it too. What he didn't say, was that he was glad Sophia had gone first as ashamed as he was to admit it. He now knew for certain that he wasn't ready for this gym yet, not by a wide margin.

@fer1323 Yeah, physical attackers are pretty trivial to Furfrou, especially if it gets a cotton guard in. It'd also be good to remember Bunnelby's dig for your fire types.

@OtomostheCrazy As for wild Pokemon, there are the obvious normal types scattered around. There are a few caves down the road (which I should mention is the only way in and out of the town) I wouldn't be opposed to people making up random trainers either, seeing as there's a gym in town plenty would congregate.

Pokemon Spiral

@OtomostheCrazy You could always train at the gym. Plenty of options ther. Yep 2 after a victory or 1 from defeat at a gym.

Pokemon Spiral

@LuckyBlackCat At this point I'd swap him back for Furfrou. Most of the Pokemon are fine and easily explained, Munchlax was...slightly less so.

Furfrou @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Fur Coat
Level: 8
EVs: 252 HP / 8 SpA / 208 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Cotton Guard
- Secret Power
- Toxic

Doduo @ Lum Berry
Ability: Tangled Feet
Level: 8
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Aerial Ace
- Mud-Slap
- Haze

Bunnelby @ Expert Belt
Ability: Huge Power
Level: 8
EVs: 240 Atk / 40 SpD / 220 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dig
- Double Slap
- Agility

Side note: The only move Munchlax was really unable to have there was chip away, zen headbutt is an egg move. Chip away does happen to be a bit powerful due to the whole "ignore stat changes" thing that makes it almost undodgeable.

Pokemon Spiral

@LuckyBlackCat Well the thing with EVs at this low of a level...Put simply it wouldn't really change anything. Munchlax could stand losing chip away and zen headbutt for something a bit less powerful.

Pokemon Spiral

@LuckyBlackCat Eh, it'd still be an uphill battle unless that accuracy check was super lucky. I may have overdone the difficulty for the first one. I just need to find a balance here. Furfrou has moves that could certainly be obtained at this point(aside from cotton guard, but that's kind of a signature thing), I think Munchlax is the one that needs tweaking at this point.

Pokemon Spiral

@OtomostheCrazy 70-80 base power moves aren't exactly insurmountable at this point. I mean Swablu's fury attack can be the equal to a 100 base power with some luck. Level 12 should be enough to even the odds. I'll admit that Snorunt is at a real disadvantage, and that's something I didn't really account for. I'll figure something out for future battles.

Also keep in mind that in the normal type gym we have access to any tutored normal type moves that are availiable to our Pokemon.

Pokemon Spiral

@OtomostheCrazy I do understand that it feels a bit unfair at this point, but it's supposed to be balanced by the fact that like their game counterparts, the gym leaders' Pokemon won't level up as we do.

Gym leaders are essentially the move tutors for their type.(it's also kind of something that the games' gym leaders do with their Pokemon too. Then again, they also evolve their Pokemon at levels they shouldn't be able to.)
