ZA Campaign and Thoughts

Campaign Update: I totally forgot to mention the fight with Vinnie to get to Rank F. He opens with Houndoom so thankfully I lead with my starter where Liquidation and Dig finish him off. I swapped to my Lord of Destruction to beat Sharpedo and against Buneary I opted for Honedge(at the time) where it tanked Brutal Swing but KO'd with Sacred Sword. Against Drampa… nothing beats LoD and it gave it a helping of Dazzling Gleam for the KO.

After that I grinded my team up to those levels before going and doing the Rogue Mega Evolutions. Slowbro was annoying given I tried using Doublade but I couldn't quite keep him out of the Water Vortexes so had to switch to Achlys to finish him off. Camerupt was insanely easy with my starter thanks to x4 Water weakness but Victreebel was annoying with the Poison. Thankfully +Psychic and +Flamethrower do some serious damage.

As for the Rank E and Canari… I give Naveen props for being principled and keeping his cool for the obvious bait/manipulation attempts by Lida and Taunie, the latter of whom I have to keep a close eye on since something just feels off about her(can't really explain it). As for the trial itself, the curveball with Canari's Grandfather was completely unexpected. That I did not see coming at all. If only Naveen knew the truth on that part but Lida's reaction afterwards was priceless.

Up next is Mega Banette(whom I really don't have a counter for… Ghost is a double edge sword… maybe having a Dark Type wouldn't be a bad idea), Mega Halucha(oh boy… more food for Baal) and Beedrill(this should be spicy but I have Brigid for that). I seriously considered using Beedrill too but when you have a Kanto starter.. its hard to say no.
