I feel so bad for Bryon. If my Ace Pokemon was Bastiodon, I'd just fight Challengers myself with my own hands. Probably would do more damage than Bastiodon ever could.
But yeah another gym down. Bryon was a piece of cake except for Steelix pulling off shenanigans with Sturdy + Potions. I was overleveled this time by a little, but only by 1 level with Torterra.
Pokemon Aime stuff is really kicking in now, but again, I don't think any happened during the actual gym battle. It could be because none of his Pokemon really had an opportunity to do much damage, but when they did get the opportunity to attack (Steelix's Earthquake and Bastiodon's Flash Cannon) none of my Pokemon actually dodged them, so make of that what you will.
Torterra is, unsurprisingly, becoming my favorite Mon of the run. He puts in the work even without AIme stuff going on, and just does a lot of damage. Curse, Leech Seed, Bullet Seed, and Earthquake is a surprisingly good set for a playthrough.Staraptor is close behind, since it takes no survivors. I also really like Floatzel just because he often does more damage than I expect him to, although I really need a physical water move besides Aqua Jet.
