Darn, been awhile since I updated my Emerald Mark II Nuzlocke. Gotta get back on that. Alright, it wont be very comprehensive and it will be really short since I have done a lot but never recorded it.

The Rebuilding Phases

Instead of my normal bullets, I'm just gonna type what I did as it will flow a little better. So, after beating my dad and burrying the dead, I withdrew Noomnooms the Numel, and then got deposited Tiny the Trapinch, as I didnt feel he would prove worthwhile. I also withdrew StevePerry the Whismer, hoping he would be helpful thorughout the later game. I began a long series of grinding, working my way to Mauville. There I helped Wattson, caught a Voltorb, and got Thunderbolt, taught it to Kearra, got Ice Beam, taught it to Margarita, and continued on my way. Back tracked a bit and caught a Swellow on Route 115, which was a blessing. Left there and crossed the ocean to continue. Got SteverPerry and Noomnooms to respectable levels. Along the way I caught Deino the Tropius. Then suddenly a crit happened in one of StevePerry's first fights and he was KO'd, adding a third to the dead. Sadly, I deposited him inside the Weather Institute, defeated Team Aqua, defeated my rival, evolved Noomnooms into Camerupt, and got to Fortree. I continued through Fortree to level up some more, caught Miley the Kecleon, kept going, KO'd like 4 Shuppets, got to Lilycove, beat my rival, got Fire Blast and taught it to Noomnooms, returned back to Fortree and defeated the leader. From there I flew to Lavaridge, went and beat Team Magma, then flew back to Lilycove, beat to Aqua, and then went to Mossdeep. Found out my internal battery died, caught a Spheal with a crappy nature, desposited it, and then left Mossdeep to grind some more.

The Team

Margarita the Lombre (F)
Level: 41
Nature: Rash
Ability: Swift Swim
Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Giga Drain, Fake Out
Opinion: Finally Margarita is becoming a real powerhouse. Surpassing Toadette in usefulness and becoming the true leader of the team. With her new might in powerful attacking moves, as well as good bulk, STAB, and nature, she is my fallback Pokemon. When things go sour she comes out to help out. Her only real issue is that I cant evolve her until AFTER I beat the Maxie-Tabitha Tag Team, which is almost guaranteed to KO some of my team mates. If she can survive through that, I think I will have a great Pokemon on my hands.

Toadette the Breloom (F)
Level: 40
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Effect Spore
Moves: Mach Punch, Sky Uppercut, Headbutt, Leech Seed
Opinion: Unfortunately, Toadette has really fallen from grace since her early days of supremacy. As of now her great fighting STAB cant be utilized, and all her upcoming foes have a type advantage on her one way or another. While good against trainers, she cant help at all against Liza&Tate or against Maxie and Tabitha. Maybe afterwords she will rise again, but for now she isnt doing so stellar.

Kearra the Manectric (F)
Level: 41
Nature: Rash
Ability: Static
Moves: Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Bite, Thunder Wave
Opinion: Kearra is a pretty solid Pokemon. While her coverage outside of Thunderbolt is weak and limited, she still functions well enough to pull through whenever I need her. I really wish she learned Flamethrower this generation, cause then she would be amazing. But moving on, she does what she needs to and does it well. And with her I am hoping to pull through the dangerous fights that lay ahead.

Noomnooms the Camerupt (F)
Level: 39
Nature: Serious
Ability: Magma Armor
Moves: Strength, Earthquake, Fire Blast, Rock Slide
Opinion: Noomnooms is tied with Margarita in terms of amazing coverage. She also has both sides of the attacking spectrum covered pretty well. Though her useless ability and slow speed hold her back slightly, she still pulls through when I need her too. Her only issue right now is that, like Toadette, she suffers from and inability to be used very effectively in the upcoming battles. Most foes hit her too hard to risk using her. But once that passes I hope to use her more effectively.

Heart the Swellow (F)
Level: 40
Nature: Lonely
Ability: Guts
Moves: Wing Attack, Quick Attack, Fly, Double Team
Opinion: Fast and strong, Heart is a real team player. She can take down foes with ease. While her Normal STAB is lacking, it still comes usefull from time to time. Her main selling point is that she hits so hard. Though again, I dont know how effectively I can use her at the moment.

State of the Union; Opinons of the Past, Present, and Future

Looking at my team, one would think I am in a pretty good position. But you gotta look at where I am in the game. I have two of the hardest battles coming up: Liza&Tate and the Maxie-Tabitha tag team. Both are almost guaranteed to take one battle each. Meanwhile, I have no fallback Pokemon for the ones who do fall in those battles. I have a plane for Liza&Tate, but no plan for Maxie-Tabitha. I guess I'll have to make it up as I go...
