Ick! That is downright nasty, mate! With Electro Ball and THAT Move, why do you need Thunder again? Seems like the electro arachnid is already strong enough, tbh...

Because no CE Galvantula is complete without Thunder!! Mwahahaha!!
*ahem*
But yeah, anything Grid learns from this point on is mostly just bonuses. His Dex lowering shenanigans and moves that benefit from his Ability are easily his strongest features, and there's very little else in his movepool that complements either. (though Agility combined with Sticky Web/String Shot/Electroweb/Thunder Wave would work wonders with Electro Ball, since he'd always have a way to make the move 5-6 Power with enough setup, even against blazingly fast opponents, assuming he doesn't get Dex debuffed himself)

Well, you are not wrong about that, mate! Still....Grid is just plain STRONG under Nathan's command, though not to the point of being uncounterable. Just really, really hard to stomach without high VIT and/or ways to subvert/inhibit its benefits.

Galvantula in general just has a lot of really good synergy between its moveset and one of its abilities. Grid's easily one of Nathan's absolute strongest and most versatile pokemon as a result. If you see him appear on the battlefield, something nasty is probably about to happen.
Emolga could potentially learn Electro Ball, too, and combine that with Nuzzle/Static. Bzzzt! And he can also learn Acrobatics and Agility on top of that! And knows Encore. He's not a fighter yet, but he could easily be one with enough practice.

Alright then, go ahead and type up that text saying Heart's ready, and Nathan will show up soon after. This shouldn't take too long.

Hey, @ Spiritmon... I had a thought. Would you actually be fine to loan that Silk Scarf you traded for to me for a soon Gym Battle against Tanuki? Solely for the battle as it's the ideal held Item for one of my Pokemon that'll participate. Not right now though, Chuckles comes first but I'm planning to approach her on the next Day right after battling him at best. I'd appreciate it, and would loan you my Charcoal for your battle against Zamboni in return.
Can Items in PokeBalls actually be sent to another person's PC as well if agreed with said person and can anyone do that or does it always need a Pokemon to hold that Item in order to loan it without directly having to meet the person? If it does, would that Pokemon definitely count as 'traded' and therefor loose Happiness+Loyalty or doesn't it, Iron?
