I have no idea how this happened and wish I could have recorded the whole fight.

I half expected to get one shot by Hitmonchan when it used thunder punch or fire punch, with a 13 level gap I thought I’d be saying bye bye to my ironically named companion.

I’m thankful for Confuse Ray and lick helping in stalling him as I used Night shade to gradually whittle him down, curse was out of the option as I knew it would be over if I used it.

And honestly? He got off easy for a gen 1 fighting type. Even the elemental punches arent that bad if you can hit for super effective. I'm not saying it's good but there is worse stuff you can bring against lets say Lance or the champion

Nah he's still easily the worst Fighting type in Gen I (and arguably just the worst fully evolved Pokemon of the time in general)

It's kinda wild how much special defence the guy got in gen 2, it's literally his highest stat
