    I think what sucks about the Lokix loss the most is that it has Throat Chop, a move that it not only learns at level 36, exactly the level cap of Larry, but it also eliminates the usage of sound attacks. Since Torch Song is a sound attack and that's the only Fire-Type move that Nemona's Skeledirge ever learns at this point and beyond, all of those sacrifices you made to that crocodile would have been prevented very easily.

  • @jamescarstairs3384

      I don't see how it shuts it down if it immediately tera fire, losing its dark weakness. Also I am uncertain if it would of saved anyone, throat chop would of had to deal over 25% hp to Skeledirge for Rabsca to not die. Either way, it would at most saved one pokemon at that point.

    fyi there's a couple of possible Indigo Disk encounters - it's possible to find a Dewpider as low as level 50 in the Savannah or Coastal Biome, and Joltik as low as level 50 in the Polar or Canyon Biome. Probably not particularly useful, but maybe helpful for someone who's incurred heavy losses by that point and needs to fill out the team.
    Venonat also seems to have been entirely forgotten here, and that's in the base game lol. Kitakami has Spinarak, Volbeat, and Illumise for sack fodder, I guess. Well, Ariados might have SOME utility.

    Hi, Antlerboy! You seemed especially frustrated with the affection/friendship mechanics in this episode, but luckily there's a way around them:
    They only happen as a result of picnics. If you never bring a Pokemon into a picnic, they will never trigger the dodging, bonus critting, hanging on so you don't cry, etc mechanics.
    Hope that was helpful!
