Once upon a time I did a Nuzlocke challenge in Platinum. I had lost most of my team except for my starter and, to save him, I threw out my hm user, a bibarel. I thought she'd die in one hit.

She didn't.

Not only did she remain standing, she kicked some MAJOR ass while I healed my starter, and managed to take down an opponent before I switched her out.


Needless to say, this earned her a spot on my team as more than an HM Whore. Louisa got a name and a more varied movepool.

I cannot love Bibarel more.
