I’m pretty sure I’ve beaten this rom hack at some point in the past… but this is much tougher than the original Heart Gold (with the imposed restrictions: monotype, set mode, no items from bag in battles, level caps, match number of mons of most bosses). Every gym leader has a full team of 6, with pretty good movesets. Even with a fairly wide selection of psychic type pokemon available early, I found that my team didn’t have the best type matchups overall in the first 2 gyms (especially the 2nd gym… it’s the point that seems to make or break runs in some of these games), so I relied on Bronzor with some support from Exeggcute.

The third gym, though… I didn’t bring Bronzor because I read that the cap was level 22, and it had gone over that level on the previous rival battle. The rest of the team didn’t seem to have a decent chance against Whitney’s team, considerably improved for this rom hack as now Miltank wasn’t the only menace with Body Slam + Attract. I figured my only chance was finding a way to set up and sweep her team using Meditite. And even with all the set up, I was lucky to do crits and not get stopped by Attract or paralysis. Maybe I should’ve evolved my Oblivious Slowpoke with a King’s Rock, but Slowbro should end up being more useful.
