So I recently finished Episode 14, and I've been very impressed with the game so far. Throughout my run, there were numerous challenges(I'M LOOKING AT YOU SHADE! D<), and numerous battles that were far easier than expected.
With all that said, there was one Pokemon I never expected to perform as well as it did. Allow me to introduce to you one of the MVPs of this run...Princess the Garbodor
My LORD was this thing bulky. And surprisingly powerful too! Acid Spray combined with Sludge Bomb/Wave allowed her to punch holes even in things that resist it after two Acid Sprays. With Stockpile, it allowed her to take Earthquakes or Psychics like they were nothing, and to round it all out, Toxic to wear down the toughest foes that Acid Spray/Sludge Wave wasn't good enough for. As you might notice, Steel types completely wall her, but why worry when your team handles Steel types better than almost everything else?
Consider this a reminder: Never take something for granite. One man's trash may turn out to be another's star team member. Are there any members of YOUR team that performed far better than expected?
