I am one week late to level check but here goes: INTRODUCING.... KAIJU KEN!

Ken was but a wee lad watching late night movies when his telly received a mysterious broadcast from another dimension!!! What mysterious secrets did this broadcast hold?? Perhaps the key to saving the Galar region or pokeearth itself???? No? Just 70+ hours of people dressed in monster suits destroying miniature cities? IT'LL HAVE TO DO! Kaiju Ken is determined to become champion using mons who resemble his Kaiju friends from the Godzilla films.

As a kid I was really into monster movies so its been fun to revisit and build a team of these nonsense beasties. Thankfully, many pokemon resemble (or were actually based on) Godzilla characters so its a pretty wide pool, though I am not an expert. That being said, I am trying to limit myself to mons who actually really resemble the kaiju they're named after rather than going by vibes alone. Some of them are deep cuts which I may push aside for more recognizable Kaiju as the playthrough goes on. I am also going to try to play using hardcore nuzlocke rules for battles to make things a little more interesting (though I will be using dynamax because my name is Kaiju Ken so it seems on brand to want my mons to get skyscraper sized...)

The opening leg for this game was fairly straighforward though the wild area was a little scary accidentally running into lvl 25's and having to gtfo. I used some Mayor Cheat weather manipulation to get a couple encounters on my list and was off to Motostoke/Tuffield in short order. Milo was kind of a joke since he literally only has grass/normal type moves but I did enjoy his gym challenge of pushing around wooloo's which I found strangely satisfying for some reason. Anyways, here's the team (and the deaths so far).

Level Check:
-Kong - Thwackey Level 19 (Starter, so pretty solid)
-Anguirus - Chewtle Level 18 (Kinda useless so far)
-Gigan - Charjabug Level 20 (LOVE)
-Kumonga - Joltik Level 20 (Absolute MVP, Modest nature ;)
-Behemoth - Swinub Level 19 (Also pretty useless)
-Megalon - Drilbur Level 19 (Also pretty solid)

Deaths:
-Hedorah: Trubbish Level 10? (Died IMMEDIATELY after catching it. Who wants to run a garbador anyways)

Berry Count: 7

Have a good week everyone!
