Sorry Galldiator for not being able to explain the challenge more clearly. the challenge was somewhat harder anyways..
It's all right, I guess. I'm at the end of Viridian and I'm doing fine anyway, but I may have no choice but to overlevel for Brock. (Stupid Rock-types!)
Also, as an aside, I may have a bit of a problem with one of the challenges. Nidoqueen can use Surf, but Nidorina cannot, and since I'll need Surf
looooong before the League (Cinnabar, in fact), I'm essentially stuck. Here's my question: To follow with traditional Scramble rules, should I
a.) catch and train a Surf slave and not use it in any battles except those I use to train it, or
b.) evolve "Venefirous" early, so as to make use of Surf while avoiding accidentally involving an unrelated Pokemon in a major battle (e.g. the Cinnabar Gym)?
