so basically, i tried to catch a slowking in kala'e bay. started off simple by finding a slowpoke. welp, several berries, false swipes (to pass time), and defeating unwanted pokemon later, i find some slowbro that i THOUGHT would get me the slowking, and several MORE berries, false swipes, and defeating MORE pokemon later, the slowbro lost ALL of its pp and used struggle, making it faint.
so yeah, that's the story of how yours truly tried to catch a slowking and absolutely f**king failed :p
