Four more badges and a championship later I make my third and final update. I would have updated more if well... more things happened but honestly? It was pretty smooth sailing. I had a few time when I almost lost someone, but other than the death of my Mightyena (damn Dugtrio with Arena Trap) everything was good. Unless we want to talk about my wonder trade woes and that I never really got a complete team (I have a team of six but you'll see what I mean I'm sure). Anyways summary of what happened. Sorta since I don't actually remember too many details oops.


- Beat Clemont. Easy with a Gabite/Garchomp.
- Caught Pokemon. Wonder Traded. I got a Poochyena through one and figured I'd put it on my team. But as mentioned above it was killed due to Arena Trap Dugtrio while I was backtracking for the lucky egg. Oops.
- Beat Valerie. Easy with a Tentacruel and Ferrothorn haha.
- More stuff happened idek this was about two weeks ago I should have updated sooner.
- Got Wonder Traded a Female Adamant Ralts so I cried.
- Decided in the Winding Woods to put the Skitty I was wonder Traded on my team. It... didn't do much other than sit there and look pretty tbh and if I needed to I was going to use it as a sacrifice lmao.
- Managed to get a Fletchinder on one of my very last wonder trades I could do so I stuck it on my team. Was more useful than Delcatty certainly.
- Beat Wulfric. Easy with Ferrothorn and Iron Head.
- Went through Victory Road. Grinded a little for my last two team members just in case. Got bored. Went and faced elite.
- For the most part the first four were pathetically easy. Only one I had some difficulty with was Steel Guy who almost killed my Tentacruel. Glad he didn't though 'cause he was my first battle oops. But yeah the later three were super easy it was kind dumb.
- So then I went and faced Diantha! Got off to a little shaky start because oops she sends out Hawlucha and I send out Ferrothorn but that was easily taken care of. Tyrantrum almost takes down Tentacruel but she hangs on and poison takes care of it. Delcatty actually helps take down Gourgeist thanks to being a normal type (only action he got haha) and Ferrothorn quickly takes down Gardevoir.
- Became Champion, quickly beat AZ and I'm done! :D

Overall I really enjoyed this nuzlocke! Had okay luck with the Wonder Trade. Nice Pokemon at the beginning but then I just got Pokemon I didn't or couldn't really use. I'll probably see about doing another wonderlocke in the future but not before this other challenge I need to do first. :b

CHRISTMAS HAPPENED Y'ALL. I got a Torchic off of Wonder Trade to avenge Charmeleon and Fletchinder and replace Linoone finally. You had a great run Popcorn, my dear, but alas, you must sit in the box so you don't die. Anyway, Torchic was deemed Curry and I grinded levels for hours...carefully, of course. Cause every other time I try to do that, I lose teammates. Anyway, got her caught up and then defeated the gym easily. Looks like it's onward to Victory Road, ladies and gentlemen. And then the moment we've all been waiting for.

Wedlocke?: No (my first try on challenges xD)
Any optional rules?: Dupes Clause

Started the game, its my run on ORAS so yeah... Needed some motivation to play the game.

#Update 1
Chose Torchic as my starter, not like it does matter anyway, defeated my rival, stormed my way through to Wally, caught 3 Zigzagoons in the process and I got the Wonder trade ability already, only to realise that I didnt update my Omega Ruby game and have to update it. However... I couldn't update it as the Nintendo eShop is under maintenance or something... So I have to stop my challenge. So I guess the only way now is offing my 3DS and heading to bed already and pray hard the maintenance ends soon so that I can continue my challenge.

Victory Road was a nightmare full of near deaths. Because of that, I was expecting the worst for the E4, especially from Steel Guy and Water Man. They have names, I just don't know them, lol. Also, you'll notice that Milotic is crazy high leveled. Everyone else is like...hugely weak to either Fighting, Psychic, or Fairy in some way, shape, or form so every time I ran into that, I tossed out Milotic, hence being like 10 above everyone else. Anyway, so I was freaking out about the E4 and Champion right? Despite me thinking they're literally the weakest, but when lives are at stake you care more. So I went in pretty strong...and still stayed strong...and came out strong...I was way too overlevel for this, but you know what? I don't care, cause I kept my babies alive, and that's all that matters. :>

Diantha fight had me worried about Mega Gardevoir, though. The whole battle was literally the Miltic and Blaziken show, flipping back and forth between the two and all, lol. So I planned to use my Mega Lucario against Mega Gardevoir because he wasn't weak to Psychic or Fairy with that type combo. I planned to Mega Evolve and lead with Calm Mind to make sure I could resist Moonblast and Psychic and I did live, with plenty of HP to spare. I did another Calm Mind to be safe, healed (also want to point out that this was the only time I healed this entire E4/Champion gauntlet...seriously), then I used Shadow Claw...and it went down in one hit. Not even critical at that. Then I beat AZ who was a piece of cake and idk why they even bother tbh but yeah.

So tl;dr the lesson here today is that...don't worry about Kalos Elite Four and Champion. Because it's Kalos.

I started my Pokemon X Wonderlocke and so far so good! Here is my progress:

Got Fennekin as a starter. I then caught a Bunnelby and proceeded to wondertrade both of them. Ended up getting a HA Charmander with D-Dance, Outrage, Crunch and Counter (for fennekin) and a Wurmple with String Shot and Tackle. RIP Wurmple ended up being a death-foughter. Went into Santalune woods and caught a Weedle, which was wondertraded for a Ferroseed. I leveled them up to level 9 and 8 respectively and moved on to route 3. There I caught a Pidgey at level 4 which was wondertraded for a Tepig with HA. Moved on and battled all trainers I could find and went to Route 22. There I caught a Litleo which I wondertraded for a Marvel Scale w/ Extreem Speed Dratini. All about luck till now! Took on the bug Gym no problem and my Charmander evolved into Charmeleon! Took on the exp. share and moved into Route 4, where I caught a Flabebe, which was traded for a Electrike. I now reached Lumiose city and am about to proceed with the challenge!

CURRENT TEAM: Charmeleon (Male), Level 18, Dragon Dance, Outrage, Ember, Crunch - Solar Power
Ferroseed (Male), Level 13, Return, Curse, Rollout, Harden - Iron Barbs
Dratini (Male), Level 12, Twister, Thunder Wave, Dragon Dance, Extreem Speed - Marvel Scale
Electrike (Male) Level 14, Spark, Quick Attack, Howl, Leer - Static

BENCH: Tepig (Male), Level 14, Tackle, Sucker Punch, Tail Whip, Ember - Thick Fat

RIP: Wurmple


I am playing with dupes and shiny clause active. I'll let you informed about my progress!

(Can someone also tell me how to add the sprites in my post so that it looks even better like the posts above? Thanks!)

UPDATE!

My current team consists of Mega Charizard X, Dragonair, Manectric, Ferrothorn and Lunatone, while I lost two more Pokemon, a Heracross (with Moxie, I regretted letting him die) and a Pidgeotto which was ready to evolve. I got nothing special from windertrades (even a freaking Bidoof) But I'm hoping to get an Ice Type, preferrably a Froslass so that I can add ghost type as well! Otherwise both the team and the bench look pretty descent!


TEAM: Charizard (Level 56) w/ Dragon Dance, Outrage, Flamethrower, Crunch - Dragonair (Level 53) w/ Dragon Rush, Extreem Speed, Dragon Dance, Surf - Manectric (Level 51) w/ Bite, Thunderbolt, Strength, Howl - Lunatone (Level 55) w/ Moonblast, Psychic, Stone Edge, Cosmic Power (TOO OP!) - Ferrothorn (Level 52) w/ Power Whip, Rollout, Iron Head, Curse

Bench: Tepig, Zorua, Skarmory, Helioptile, Honedge, Bulbasaur, Hawlucha, Pikachu, Mareep, Scatterbug, Shuppet, Binacle, Bidoof, Klefki, Minccino

RIP: Wurmple, Pidgeotto, Heracross

I defeated Team Flare at the Pokeball Factory and the Fairy type gym and I'm moving on, hope I get a better luck with all those wonder trades! (If anyone can still help me with the sprites I'd be grateful)

I've had no changes in my squad and had my pokemon up to level 72 (excluded Charizard which grew to level 81) and took on the Elite 4 and the Champion successfully!With only 5 Pokemon on my team I went on and battled AZ and defeated him as well, which makes it that I have won this Wonderlocke! With only 3 deaths as well! I can say it went pretty good (though I almost lost my Lunatone a couple of times)!

So there goes my team and deaths:

Charizard, Ferrothorn, Dragonite, Lunatone, Manectric

Wurmple, Pidgeotto, Heracross

I'm going to start another challenge soon!
