Right-o, thanks for the info!

My plan is to search all the underwater areas first, then start talking -- my eye is on Slowbro, we share a type and are both basic stage, and small I think.
By that point I hope to have enough clues, either on my own or from you guys, to interrogate people like Harmony the Lapras. Running the apartments makes her kind of a big shot, right?

Also, if I haven't found any underwater gear by then, I aim to figure out how to purchase some. I expect if there's any underwater zones that need Repair, or Medicine, or even someone new who should be handled with better Diplomacy, I won't be able to do it myself.

But I'm pretty sure the first step is to scout.

Someone pointed out to me that there's Electric-type-only zones! Neo, Emolga are Electric type, right? Do you think you can scout those out for us?
[edit]
After reviewing the list, I'm not sure there are Electric-only zones. Can someone confirm or deny?
