Team Go Rocket Battle 5
24/11/24
Fighting Grunt
Lineup: Mankey, Hitmonchan, Conkeldurr

I used Florence, Gulliver and Gassie for this battle. I considered Frank for a full ghost team, but I thought Gulliver would be good in case of Infernape and unfortunately I paid the cost. Florence took out the first 2 without much trouble but Conkeldurr is tough, and as her health got low I switched into Gulliver who unfortunately couldn't beat it before being knocked out. RIP

Team Go Rocket Battle 4
17/11/24
Flying Grunt
Lineup: Pidgey, Zubat, Archeops

I forgot to record this battle as after losing Nürnbär last week I was a little nervous. I decided against powering up anything new as I don't really have the stardust to invest into the only potential decent counter: Tin Can. I went with Frank, Gulliver and Florence as those are the only teammates left already powered to 1500CP and Frank swept the whole line up. Easy win!

Encounter 18 (Daily Spawn)
Location: Aalen
Date: 16/11/24
Encounter: Eevee (Duplicate)

I had hoped for a new, good encounter to replace Nürnbär before my next Rocket Battle, but no luck for me today. I didn't even get many Magnemite spawns to get some candy for Tin Can, even though I had seen plenty spawning earlier when I was on my main. I just hope I have enough stardust to power up something else.

Team Go Rocket Battle 3
10/11/24
Water Grunt
Lineup: Mudkip, Crawdaunt, Whiscash

I used Florence, Nürnbär and Gulliver in this battle as I don't have good counters yet. Florence was able to take out Mudkip, but I was scared about the Dark type Crawdaunt so I switched to Nürnbär and unfortunately Crawdaunt was too powerful and took Nürnbär down to red in two hits so Whiscash could knock him out. I won the overall battle but I lost Nürnbär, particularly gutting as he was so close to evolving. RIP

Encounter 17 (Rocket Grunt)
Location: Rosenheim
Date: 08/11/24
Encounter: Shadow Starly ♀️ "Rose"

Team Go Rocket Battle 2
Flying Grunt
Lineup: Starly, Gligar, Archeops

I breezed through this battle too with Frank, Gulliver and Nürnbär. And I'm very much leaning towards purifying Rose as stardust and candy are very limited in this challenge so the level up boost from purifying will most likely be better than the shadow attack boost. But I'll mull it over for a bit

Encounter 16 (Daily Spawn)
Location: Kösching
Date: 07/11/24
Encounter: Magnemite "Tin Can"

I called it Tin Can because it has 0 defence and 0 stamina 😅😭 I do like Magnezone, but this is another Pokémon that it'll be tough to get candy for.

Encounter 15 (Daily Spawn)
Location: Baar-Ebenhausen
Date: 06/11/24
Encounter: Abra ♂️ "Ab-Baar"

I have mixed feelings about this one, Alakazam is fairly good but I don't see Abra spawns very often. I also don't think there's any research tasks for Mega Alakazam energy, so we'll see if I can make any use of it. On the bright side I was able to get enough Gastly candy to evolve Gassie into Gengar!

Encounter 14 (T1 Dynamax Raid)
Location: Obergriesbach
Date: 04/11/24
Encounter: Scorbunny ♀️ "Lola"

Obviously Gastly was off limits and there were limited Dynamax Raids in the small town I went to, my only choices were Grookey or Scorbunny and I went with Scorbunny as I had chosen the Scorbunny path for the Galar Calling Special Research. I can now get rid of the Dynamax Wooloo I had as a placeholder.

Team Go Rocket Battle 1
03/11/24
Fighting Grunt
Lineup: Mankey, Hitmonlee, Conkeldurr

As I saw it was a fighting type I decided to choose to battle with Gulliver, Florence and Frank, powering them up as close to 1500CP as possible to maximise my chances in a Great League level battle with the grunt. It was a wise choice as I managed to defeat the grunt with little difficulty and no losses.
