SO HELPFUL!!
I dont know how I could have known these things unless you told me. Did you just discover by trial and error? Kind of sounds like it.
Im only level 3 but I have Pikachu, Taurus and some others as well. Im excited for level 5 to visit the training jim, just blocks from my house.
Thanks again :)
