Pokemon Silver 97 Reforged
Playthough: March 2024
Part 2

6th Badge

Around this time I retired Jumpluff but kept him on my team so I could use fly. I was considering replacing him for a different flying type but ended up not. On my first playthough I also used a Jumpluff but kept using him the entire playthough.

7th Badge

I added the new ice type Wolfman to my team which I was able to catch leading up to the 7th gym. The level I caught him at was only a few levels away from evolving into Warwolf so I didn't spend much time with his pre-evolved form.

8th Badge

I needed a water type for the HMs surf and waterfall. Rather than adding a HM slave I decided to add an actual 5th member to my team and I went with Kingdra.
I was also finally able to get a Scyther so I had a false swipe pokemon. There are other pokemon with false swipe but they don't get access to it until the late Lv.40's...and by that time you'll likely be around the final gym where Scyther can be caught. So its kinda pointless. I immediately evolved him into Scizor but then he mostly went unused and just sat on my team.

After Elite Four

Only four of these guys I relied on to beat the elite four and become champion. Of course I used my fire starter Dynabear who finally learned flamethrower. Raitora finally gained thunderbolt so he became a strong electric type. Warwolf was a fast ice type with a high attack that helped take down dragon types. Finally Kingdra was a bit of a bulky water/dragon type that could backup Warwolf in taking down any dragon types along with taking down anything weak to water. Jumpluff and Scizor went unused.
