28/39 now in the grind, but the big milestone of Nincada is done now. I didn't realize that Shedinja only got generated after the evolution process was finished and not when it started, so I have one with False Swipe and Swords Dance now, which is nice. The only other mon that I think is a problem mon is the Ralts line, they only get Confusion and Psychic as attacking moves on level up in gen 3 (even in FRLG, Magical Leaf is a level 1 move and not part of the level up moveset) and my Kirlia currently can't get even a single level before running out of PP. I've been using switch grinding to close the gap but it's still annoying. Seedot might be a problem too because its level-up moveset is a trainwreck (the first attacking move it learns is Nature Power at level 13, except no it isn't, because in tall grass the move will always function as Stun Spore, and in a cave it will always function as Shadow Ball, and the only cave I have access to is populated exclusively with normal types!) but I used the Bullet Seed TM on it so it at least has an attacking move. Plus it only needs level 14 to evolve.
