And gosh, Serena is the less stimulating rival ever. The fact that you simply cannot get rid of those cursed roller blades is infuriating, and the sheer abundance of towns in Kalos still doesn't sit well with me. Now that's a job well done, especially for a defensive 'Mon.Ĭruising Kalos again right after Alola was a bit of a trudge, I must admit. Since this is Pokemon Y we're talking about, my Meowstic obviously reached the big 100 level-wise before the credits rolled and could take care of the Elite Four without breaking a sweat. Despite the fact that male Meowstic does indeed has a ridiculously tiny offensive move pool, I managed to end up with a quartet of offensive moves belonging to four different Types by the end of my run, which was more than I had dared hope for and allowed me to handle pretty much all battle situations. The ensuing run went incredibly smoothly and was pure delight from beginning to end. The lucky winner turned out to be an Espurr with a Quiet Nature, which was quite a good bargain considering that Meowstic's Speed is fairly high and could thus tolerate a bit of lowering and since Meowstic's most powerful offensive moves are Special moves, an increase in Sp. I didn't go as far as to hunt for a specific Nature, mind you I recruited a bunch of Espurrs and chose the one with the Nature that best fitted my purposes. See, I wanted to give myself as good an edge as possible and to compensate for my future Meowstic's unavoidable weaknesses by choosing the most fitting Nature. Now, why capture so many Espurrs, you may ask? Well, because I wanted to take advantage of another feature I had failed to take into account until then and that feature is none other than Pokemons' Natures. However, after it took me roughly two hours to capture a dozen male Espurrs, I realized how futile this hope was and moved on with my run. I must confess that I actually had this wild fantasy of attempting to cruise Kalos with a shiny male Espurr -nevermind the fact that I never ever encountered a shiny 'Mon in any of my Pokemon playthroughs. No sooner said that done I stuck my still unplayed Y cartridge into my 3DS and before I knew it, I was roaming Route 6 and hunting for Espurrs. The deed didn't seem so impossible after all, especially considering how shamelessly easy X and Y are. My Rowlet solo run showed me that defensive 'Mons with a reduced offensive move pool can nonetheless be decent solo run material and in the wake of that discovery, I suddenly needed to tackle a male Meowstic solo run.
