I really felt like I was exploring a region, because I would always have to go through routes multiple times, and was forced to really learn where I was going.

    I feel like the Crobat friendship evolution isn't even an issue. In most cases of me using Zubat by the time they evolved into Golbat upon the next level up they were trying to evolve again. I try to wait till the 30s to let it evolve so that it learned moves faster. I think lvl 36 is a good level.

    6:36 I would argue Dodrio is better. You get it around fly, it can learn Tri Attack which is very good for normal coverage, it can get drill peak as well and it has 20 more points in attack with barely any state of Ferrows being better and if they are it's by 5 points. Also while level 31 might be rough let me remind you that Dodo can learn fly to so yeah I would say Dodrio is a way better option especially if you have an electric type already like you would in yellow.

    • @yorecf9641

      Gale Wings is it’s hidden ability so you have to spend a bunch of time trying to get it which is even less convenient that friendship for Crobat. Plus it’s fire typing interferes with Delphox users and Charizard has the same type and is better anyway. This is for a playthrough and not a competitive match.
