Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Eeyow! My poor poor Phloem... You'll pay for this, Spinarak! And you'll pay by joining my team! According to my likely wildly inaccurate calculation, I have a 255/256 chance of capture with a Heal Ball!

Mysterious Cove Fish, Maw
You leave the forest and come to the mouth of the cove. It appears to be low tide, as two rock paths barely sticking up out of the water are the only way in. Their winding nature makes them look like long whiskers. Looking closely at the water, you can tell it is slightly illuminated, though you don't know why. In any case, it looks like you won't be able to cross without some resistance.
A voice speaks: "Welcome to a nest. What these Pokemon lack in strength they make up for in numbers. Plan carefully."
After adding another bug to your bug collection, you shift your Pokeballs and continue along.

Abilities: Swift Swim: The Pokemon with this ability moves extremely fast is slick, rainy conditions, doubling (x2) its speed in the rain. Rattled (DW): These Pokemon are more easily frightened by Ghost, Bug, and Dark-typed attacks and will raise their speed by one (1) stage when struck by attacks of those types.
Once you get through the maw, you find a large underground cave that appears to be a dead end. The area's rocky surface drops into what appears to be a very shallow lake, insufficient for swimming. You turn to your guide, who disappears in a flash of light. The guide's form is gone, but you hear another voice.
"You have been chosen to undergo the test. I hope you have prepared well - the Guardians of this cove are a crafty duo. Do not think mere force alone will be sufficient. They will wait calmly and exploit any flaws in your strategy. Pass this trial, and have a chance at something truly amazing."
Shallow Cave:
Only Rain has the raw materials to be summoned. All other weathers are not allowed. Water source available. Neither Dig nor Dive can be used.
