4th Raid: [Video/Action for Dark Cave/Route 31]

[There's a thunderous roar as soon as the gear turns on, but Illidan seems unperturbed. He just turns to the side calmly.]

Calm yourself, Vashj. You do not wish to frighten the most recent addition to the group, do you?

[He tosses a pokeball in the air and catches it.] This Dunsparce was as difficult to find as I was told. I'd rather not render it useless due to fear of its own partners after expending so much effort.

[The response is a growl from the Gyarados as she slides along next to him.]

You will be grateful for its assistance eventually.

[She scoffs and turns her head away, but he merely chuckles, amused, before returning his attention to the gear.]

A question. If one has the advantage of type in a fight, how many levels of power below an enemy can you be and still win? Assume for this that the enemy has not taught their Pokemon moves that would be useful against types they are vulnerable to.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Or simply an opponent with a fire move. No one ever said a Pokemon's moveset has to match their type.

[He smirks. Oh yeah, he figured that little trick out way early on. Granted, he hasn't had a chance to use that knowledge yet since he's still stuck back in Violet with a low-level team, but he knows about it.]

But yes, thinking of ways around type weaknesses is where things truly start to get interesting. This is no mere game of rock, paper, scissors. Still, in lower levels there seem to be less options for that.

With lower leveled Pokémon, you have to take a few shortcuts. TMs, move tutors. They get the job done.

[He laughs.]

I know Flare's got all of his weaknesses covered, thanks to ThunderPunch and Solarbeam.

Where does one find those? I could most definitely use some.

A fire-type with electric and grass moves... clever. [He grins approvingly.]

Move tutors travel from place to place, so your best bet's to check all the routes. As for TMs, you can pick them up from Goldenrod's department store.

[And, heh. The approval is always good.]

Wouldn't be able to cover weaknesses without them. Not just for Flare, but my other Pokémon, too.
