in a way i kind of expected more people to say Drifblim because the weekly Drifloon "event" stood out as something to me as a thing people would just "do" if they were, you know, checking guides here or on serebii or marriland, but not like important enough to be treated as a strictly trophy mon like the legendaries or rotom
having Garchomp on the other hand by E4 is something I definitely didn't do on a first run given where it was lol (maybe just a me thing but even while knowing where it was, it felt like it wasn't really meant to be accessed that early, so i just didn't till it was way below the rest of my team. early game dragon rage also just made it pretty scary to deal with tbh)
anyway yeah starters+staraptor+luxray+lucario for me prob, while bibarel definitely makes a lot of teams for obv reasons i don't know if it stays in
enough
teams for E4 to make the 6 (it's definitely still a lot though)
