Might as well update you on my Nuzlocke: I made it to Shalour city... with 4 casualties along the way! ("Salamancer" the Charmeleon, "Froggo" the Frogadier, "Gatorade" the Sandile, and "Fatass" the Gulpin that I briefly kicked off my team for Steelix.) I did catch a Snubbull and Solosis along the way, but the Snubbull feels completely pointless when I have a much better fairy type on my team. (Floette)
Hopefully I can get Korrina's second Lucario soon.
Current team:
Floette "Flowey"
Steelix "Thumper" (not my choice of name)
Tyrunt "Crotch Goblin" (passed down from my Grimmsnarl)
Solosis "Bubble Buddy"
Snubbull "Ugly" (planning to remove)
[???] (I haven't played in a day or two, so I don't remember whether this slot is empty, or if it's being taken by a useless backfill unit. I'll resume the run soon.)
My encounters have been much worse than my previous failed run. I had a Honedge that was really useful until Grant killed my team, as well as a few other notable members.
