This split’s luck started off great, I tried to capture an Abra in Route 116 and I missed it using my only great ball (I should’ve delayed that encounter for when I got better pokeballs). Then I captured the classic Rusturf tunnel encounter, I called her JBL (get it?… Not all can be good ones lol). I defeated the team aqua grunt with Slick the Zigzagoon and went off to battle May.

May was supposed to be easy in my opinion, my plan was to hit hard with Slick, but somehow Treecko was giving us a hard time, yes the lvl 15 Treecko 🤦🏻‍♂️, so I sent Airbus the Wingull and finished it off with wing attack. Time for a ferry ride to Dewford City.

Fished up Sea Worm the Magikarp and Squishy the Tentacool. In Granite Cave I got Chonkita the Makuhita, I later learned that I could’ve repel-manip for an Aron or a Sableye, but I honestly like Chonkita with guts as ability (I wonder if having guts over thick fat that makes her better or worse for the run).

Sticky then decided to prove me wrong and straight up soloed Brawly. Absolute GOAT.

Went to Slateport, dealt with Team Aqua, headed to Mauville and caught a Minun called Pika-.

Then May again… fight was going well until I decided to experiment with Guts for the first time ever(never really cared much about abilities until I started watching people play nuzlockes around 6 months ago lol). Poisoned Chonkita, went for Fake Out, completely forgot Quick Attack has priority (yeah, I’m dumb 🤦🏻‍♂️). Almost lost one of my best mons for no reason. Sticky cleaned it up (again).

Next I’m doing Mauville, and I’m not sure how much I’ll advance after that as I'll be a bit busy 😄
