That means I got lucky while I was fighting the elite 4. That's probably the reason why I struggle with it now. It's bad karma to be lucky.
TM13, I am assuming you are saving the Sun Stone until she learns Energy Ball, is that correct? That's in turn assuming you got the Sun Stone in Nimbasa City.
There's no point in waiting until level 35 to evolve Petitlil for Energy Ball when Giga Drain has almost exactly the same power but also heals you. It's the superior move. Also, you'll want to evolve Petilil before level 28 so that Lilligant can learn Quiver Dance asap (otherwise you'll have to wait to use a Heart Scale in Driftveil.)
...you do know that you can already evolve Petilil if you are at Driftveil right?
Also Conkeldurr and Scrafty > Throh.
Why Conkeldurr and Scrafty > Throh? Conkeldurr has bad special defense and Scrafty bad HP
But Scrafty and Conkeldurr both have better movepools and attacking stats.
Conkeldurr: Ridiculous HP and dat 140 Attack
Scrafty: Excellent defenses and a workable Attack
Of course, this is all irrelevant since Bulk Up is not available on Scrafty pre-E4 without trading, but Work Up and Moxie is already ok enough.

Lilligant shouldn't need Synthesis. The insane amount of rain you'll see in the later part of the game(around Icirrus) means Synthesis is lol. Just use Giga Drain and get over it.
Hidden Power just isn't that great in-game because of how unreliable it is. Unfortunately you can't simply choose to have it be Fire, 70 BP. You have to get lucky. You get it from Prof. Juniper after you've seen 100 'mons.
Sawk and Throh aren't used in the game until the Elite 4, I think. They aren't even that good since my swobat could beat them, and my swobat was like 5 levels behind them.
Because I was curious, I did some checking, and the following Trainers use Sawk and/or Throh pre-Elite 4:A few of those martial artist type Trainers use them, though in cave I think. Might be the lower level of Wellspring. Seem to recall some Level 30-some ones.
