Picked it up for the first time in ages, and decided to just start over... this time playing only with species used by Rocket grunts. Here's the team I took to the Elite 4.

Got this as a hand-me-down from a friend, told me he took it apart and ripped the vibration motor wires out of its connector.

Tested it for functionality and it still connects to Pokemon go for catching and spinning pokestops.

It still lights up and can be put into support mode but it doesn't make any sound when plugged in for charging ( it does charge I left it plugged in all night)

I mean I gave him candies and all but bros stats are exploding
