Allow me to elaborate. If you start off with Orchynx, it knows Scratch and Growl. During the first trainer battle with Theo, he'll battle you with an Eletux that knows Tackle, Tail Whip and Water Gun. Also imporant, it has Static, which paralyses upon contact. With these factors in play, the battle against Theo is unwinnable unless you use a potion at the right time, and even then you still have a chance to lose.
Growl is useless in this battle because Theo can just switch to Water Gun which does the ~ the same damage as unboosted Tackle. You're only shot is to use your own Scratch against it, but since it is a contact move it might trigger paralysis. You need to land about 5-7 Scratches in order to kill Eletux, but you can't activate Static because that will make you slower, may give full paralysis and you'll lose for sure. The odds of not triggering static in this way are .004% at the very best.
So if you so foolishly check the healing in battle clause like I did, you will quickly find out that the first match is unwinnable. You HAVE to have gotten that potion from your desk in order to beat Theo in a nuzlocke run. If you don't you wind up like me with a dead Orchynx that I can somehow still run around with.
Please give it Vine Whip or something in the next update. Even Leech Seed would work to balance out this madness.
I think you just started a campaign: #GiveOrchynxAStartingGrassMove
