How I got my venomoth I have today before I found out how good it was...
[spoiler]
On my first alt run I had a terrible time. I got on pokemmo, waste 30 minutes trying to think of a name for a character. Name my rival after someone I despise. Pick charmander; rage after my rival lands three critical hits in a row on me. Get terrible luck on route 1 where everything crits me (no joke), make it viridian city, do the usual go get the package and head back, but in in PC I was offered a free pokemon that the person got from someone else. It happened to be a venonat that was EV trained already OT was Boti. I was told it was crap because it was serious natured, but I was a nub and it had giga drain so why wouldn’t I take it? Viridan forest was easy since I had charmander; it got to lvl 14 by the end. So then I tried out the venonat and it WOULD KEEP TAKING FREAKING NAPS and nothing else. So I boxed it and got owned by brock because my charmander was gentle natured. After like my third defeat by hax I pulled out the terrible venonat to try using it and all it would do against brock is tackle twice then wouldn’t listen to me the rest of the match. Charmander then came in after the venonat died and got a couple crits and pulled out a victory. Moral of story is that alt runs are terrible if you don’t trade a pokemon over for it.
