Thank you for all the support everyone, and now here is the next update:
So now I got to the next city, where myfirst gym challenge new pokemon member will be: the Elemental Monkey gift you get in the Dream Yard. Beacause they are ment to cover the weakness you have with the starter pokemon you got, and mine being Tepig, I got Bannana the Pansage.
And with these new pokemon I went and bought some potions and beganthe gym challege grinding up to battle the gym because I am a fragile child who can't handle taking another death. R.I.P. Sahara
Now to go into the gym here are the pokemon I had on me:
"♂️Bacon" the Tepig at level 14
"Sass" the Purrloin at level 12
"Bannana" the Pansage at level 13
I was feeling very confident in my pokemon as I swiftly went through both of the gym trainers. But I started to freak out when I realized mid-battle that both of Cress' pokemon had the move Work Up, which boosted their attack and defence. The 2 stage bite of his Lilpup became a suprise I was not expecting. It could easily take off 3/4 of ♂️Bacon's health. And once that was done I had something worse to deal with: Panpour's work up and water gun would easily kill off my entire team besides Bannana. However before he could set up any of these boosts, I did what any true pokemon master would do: Spam Sand Attacks with Sass so that he wouldn't hit anyone with that monster. And it paid off as I was then able to set up a leer and vine wip till it was over, and I did not lose yet.
Now for the actual encounter in the Dream yard, Sleepy the Munna.
And thats where I am right now, I'm thinking of posting my team on here later using my phone
