So I finally got back into playing my
Nuzlocke file. (Also notice that I'm pretty sure I've messed up the
spelling of Nuzlocke several times in these blogs now. So forgive
me, but I doubt it will be the last time I make that mistake. So I
spent a lot of time training in the Petaburg woods. I just wanted to
do some training since I'm heading to a new town soon and will get
the chance for a free heal. Though I guess my team is so strong now
that most of my team members can handle themselves enough to run out
of PP before running out of health. Though Mr. Pickup and Dubstep
are kind of struggling for experience. Though even they were able to
get a couple levels without spending my potions. Speaking of Mr.
Pickup, he picked up a ton of items in my training, including a Rare
Candy, that will be useful. Watching videos while grinding certainly
makes the time flies.
So after doing that, I head to Mr.
Brindy's place, sailed over to Dewford Town to get my free heal of
the town and picking up the Silk Scarf and Old Rod. The piror being
more useful, but I'm sure I'll find a route that I could use the rod
on a route that I couldn't get anything else. Afterwords I headed to
Granite Cave fighting the trainers along the way. I headed in the
cave and got the TM flash from a hiker. Despite the fact I would
need the gym badge from this town to use Flash, I didn't want to
waste the move slot on one of my team members. So I decided to see
if I could get through the cave without Flash.
Oh by the way the Pokemon I got from
this cave was a Makuita. Not bad, though I'm already planning on
Shromhiness in being my fighting type. It was a little rough
catching it, considering my Pokemon were so much stronger than the
wild Pokemon. But with a little thinking I was able to get a little
bit of damage off from confusion and get it catchable in a Pokeball
through paralyzing it. It'll be helpful for the 3rd gym so
I won't complain. Really wanted to get an Aron since it's one of my
favorite 3rd generation Pokemon and something that quad
resists normal type moves will be VERY helpful for the 3rd
gym. But it's a Nuzlocke, gotta take what I get. Anyways, I had the
weird urge to call it Plump Pickle, so it is now called PlumpPickl.
I actually was able to get through the cave in one piece without
Flash so yippie! Going through the cave I was able to deliver the
letter to Steven and get the Steel Wing TM.
Next up is the gym, and considering how
I mostly only used Pokemon that there is no way I'm using for the
gym, I decided to save a Potion and take on the gym leaders before
healing. The two main Pokemon I'm using in this gym are in full
health anyways. I forgot their was a dual fighting type with a
Psychic sub-type... and Zip'd is part poison. Thankfully Zip'd was
strong enough to take the hit without dieing. Besides that, no
problem with the trainers and I was able to heal everyone up before
fighting the gym leader.
Then at last, it's time to take on the
gym leader. I lead with Hurracane, he lead with Machop. I started
to panic when he was using Bulk-up and decide to switch to Tin Timber
to tank some hits while I healed Hurrance... that was a mistake!
Thankfully he didn't get one shot but he took more than half of his
health from one Karate Chop, my god, if it was a critical... but for
what felt like ages, though more like minutes I was just at a
standstill. I didn't know what to do, there was no point in healing
since he would of just take that damage again and it was a matter of
time until a crit. came. I wasn't sure if it be worth it to switch
to Zip'd or Hurracane because they would have to take whatever attack
would come next. After pondering my choices for a while, I decided
to switch into Zip and hope he could tank the hit to finish the
job... and he did. He only lost 2 hp from the attack and it was
awesome! I was able to heal everyone else back up to perfect health
with Zip'd having enough health left to finish the job. Then the
rest of the battle went smooth.
But still, but if my starter almost
died from the 2nd gym I am terrified of what the 3rd
gym will bring. But neverless I got the badge, got the TM, I'm good
for now. I just gotta train even more than I did before for the next
gym for sure. Certainly gonna start training PlumpPickl for the third
gym as well. Most of all I'm thankful that everyone made it out of
that gym alive.
