Vs. Factory Head Thorton
104I hate this guy. I really do. This was my sixth attempt at fighting him. All the other times, I either made bad choices (2 battles) while the rest I was simply screwed from the start, like him having a super fast and strong Pokemon that could outrun anything I threw at him and kill instantly. It sucked.
Anyway, finally. The final symbol I needed to obtain before I defeated each of the Frontier Brains at least once. Now that I have all the Silver Prints, I can finally get over my stupid "NO I MUST GET ALL THE SILVER PRINTS FIRST" stage and get right on to the color prints now.
Anyway, some details about the battle. Yeah, I knew Poison Fang wouldn't be too effective, but I wanted to Badly Poison Dusknoir since it is bulked on defense. Once it used Fling and it did that much damage, I thought "screw it, I'll try what I can to just damage him." Kinda glad I didn't poison him, though.
And with the Dodrio using Acupressure a whole lot: As you may have guessed, I was doing it to stall for time. Dusknoir used his only damaging move of Fling on Golbat, so Shadow Punch would be useless against the Flying/Normal type Pokemon. I didn't want to take Dusknoir down right away with the Trick Room still in effect because that means I would've been slower than the Pokemon following Dusknoir (which would've been Jynx) and it could have cost me the battle. Plus getting some bonus stats in attack to make up for the Burn was pretty handy as well. I can't believe I never had to use my final Pokemon.
Alright, all Silver Prints are finally obtained, Thorton being that final wall. Time to record battles of me getting the color prints! And you can bet your ass I'll be fighting the Battle Factory last again!
