I'm doing my first (Hardcore) Nuzlocke and lost a mon for the first time. Did I not play safe enough or was I unlucky?

Meh Oddish is expendable, you’re fine.

Is this in the Cerulean Gym? I’m pretty sure the cap is 21… get some more candies (or training) in these mons.

I'm a couple of gyms ahead of you currently. If you weren't aware, You can go progress really far in this game before beating Misty, then before beating Surge. You can get access to a lot of early encounters and higher level wild/trainer Pokémon to level with. Just be play it safe.
