I think I'm going to box my other Pokemon. Only use this gen for a while. That includes my Charmander and Torchic. Leveling that Pidgey feels dumb now but it's more rewarding using an all new team for me. Tho a Chespin/Torchic/Squirtle combo is tempting.
Ddd;; idk why everyone is struggling with cash? I have around 60,000 now and I'm on route 7.
Try the Battle Chateau on Route 7 with the Amulet Coin equipped. All the trainers use 1 weak ass Pokémon, which are all OHKO'able with a STAB move and they all give you 3,600 for winning.
