Hello. I started playing this game recently. But I am having trouble with being, well good lol.
I cannot for the life of me get past the 1st gym. I admit I must suck, because I'm finding it really frustrating the 1st gym has a full team of 6. Here is my team:
Monferno Lv18 (Iron Fist)
Kricketune Lv17 (Fury Cutter)
Igglybuff Lv17 (Perish Song)
Stunky Lv11 (Poison Gas)
Pachirisu Lv9 (Volt Absorb)
Espurr Lv14 (Light Screen)
I also just got Budew but its only Lv 8 and I don't want to risk losing its happiness if it faints.
Didn't want to spend too long writing complete movesets, so I just added what their use is at this moment. The best I got was Kricketune wiping 3 of her Pokemon with Fury Cutter. But then she sent out Electrode and it just swept my team with one hit.
I've seen here users get annoyed when people complain about the difficulty, so I don't want to sound like that. But I am finding it hard to train since my only option is like grass with lv 3 ledbya and a stunky cave at lv8.
Is there some strategy I'm missing? Someone else I can catch or item I can use?
