Pokémon Inclement Emerald: Matt 2 (Mono-type Flying run)
0You again.
Same team as before. Probably some items and moves shuffled around, but it's the same threats as before: Heliolisk and Seismitoad.
In the end I beat Heliolisk by sacking my Talonflame on it and then using Choice Scarf Thunder. I did waste Pinsir though, I thought I could outspeed... I clearly did not!
Seismitoad did fall to Togekiss in the end... And speaking of, this is the last time Togekiss will appear. I've not been too impressed by it, I don't think the Fairy coverage is particularly useful past dealing with Dragons, and I have my eyes set on another Dragon counter...
After beating Matt, the whole sea beyond Lilycove opens. You could in theory do all the evil team stuff here before Winona, but doing that means being stuck at a level cap of 70 if playing on More Caps, which is of course too low. I did skip most trainers between Winona and Matt 2 here, so now that I have my true final team member, I have like 15 Routes worth of trainers to go through... Don't you just love Hoenn?!
