EX. Nothing is worse than when Repel wears off-- you need to get through an area with a high rate of Wild Pokémon that are not worth fighting for the minimal XP they will drop and/or you just wanna get from point A to point B without interruption and suddenly you're having to fight Zubats and Geodudes. Ugh.
