>an opponent while I build up a Machop and evolve him. Onix gets better when
>you start using it's harden attack, which negates most attacks that are
>present on first turn pokemon since it blocks anything with 30 damage or
>less. Now some may be saying that he sucks since he can only do 10 damage a
>turn. Okay, but he can stay up there with harden for several turns allowing
>me to get a machoke out witch can do 50 or 60 damage.
