Just remember that cSuwako's water attacks are actually only good against cYuugi and cTenshi, as rock is not weak to water in this game. Kanako (if I catch her which I likely will as she has the most votes)and Sakuya can rip through him though, as Kanako's grass attacks and Steel is strong against both Rock and Ice, which will make quick work of all of Brocks team. However, Suwako rips through Lt Surge and Blaine later on. I have an ESuwako in my file of a different version of touhoumon, and she is one of my most powerful fighters.

But there are no cSuwako found in either route where I can catch new party members, so I can't catch one for another couple of updates . (Next update will be exploring Viridian forest and then I'll give a choice of either exploring Route 3 or going to challenge Brock) I'll wait until tomorrow before playing the next segment.

Also Shaibana good choice on getting a Wriggle, she will tear through Sabrina as Sonicboom is now a pretty strong bug type attack instead of just doing 20 damage.
