Cannot use a move if it's used against me.
Cannot fight the Skitty, Treecko, Ralts, Poochyena or Makuhita lines.
Must be sent out every 25th turn, like clockwork.
Soloing 1/3 of the rival's team in final battle.
Soloing two trainers per gym.
Thoughts: Odd indeed. I can't wait until my only move left is Sweet Scent and I'll STILL have to solo things. :)
Update#1: Just reached Fallarbor town.
Evolved to Gloom
Level: 24
Moveset:
Bullet Seed (Previously Absorb, until an enemy Oddish took away that option)
Acid (Does surprising damage, despite low BP)
PoisonPowder
Sleep Powder (Cannot be used)
Thoughts: Odd is a thorn in my side, as having to be sent out every 25th turn is troublesome to say the least.
However, his power took a good jump after he evolved to Gloom, and now he does surprising damage with low-power attacks.
So far, he has only soloed two trainers in Wattson's gym, poisoning both foes before cleaning up with Bullet Seed.
I've been running away from wild Oddish and Shroomish, because I'm terrified one will use PoisonPowder and take away that move.
Update#1: Just reached Fortree City.

Thoughts: Odd the
Oddish Gloom remains a fantastic poke to use.
Despite my double Grass-types, Odd continues to spam Status and STAB attacks against foes with great success.
He managed to solo two trainers in Flannery's gym, neither of whom had a fire-type. (Odd, that)
Norman's gym was more difficult, but he still managed to pull through.
He's a great help in double battles, and I can't wait until I can evolve him.
