Gah, I need to remember which computer has which save file on it. I think I've got to do Giovanni AGAIN. Stupid me not backing up my most recent save files...

Player: mondays suck
Type: Dragon

Generation: II (Crystal)
Location: Ecruteak

I managed to get to Goldenrod without any leveling, but I can't beat Whitney, mainly because of that stupid Attract.
And when Miltank decides not to use attract, instead something like Critflinch Stomp happens.

Update: Ok, I finally managed to beat her now. 6 X Defends+6 Smokescreens+some Super Potions+a lot of patience because of Attract, Miltank's high Sp.Def and Milk Drink did the job. I'm bankrupt and almost out of items now, so Morty will be even harder

More Update: It wasn't that hard actually. I arrived at Ecruteak and didn't fight anything but Sudowoodo on the way. There, I decided to go beating the Eeveelutions first. Probably a wrong decision, I got Surf, but also a lot of levels there. After beating my rival and the gym trainers, Horsea was at level 30, still obeying. So I could beat Morty's Gastly and Haunter, and right when the Gengar comes into the game, Horsea reached level 31, started to disobey, and got beaten, most of the time by Hypnosis+Dream Eater combo. But with some obeyance luck and a Hypnosis miss, I could beat Gengar and my obeyance luck continued, so the last Haunter did also fall soon. Horsea reached level 32 after beating it and has now evolved into Seadra.

Next: Going to Chuck as soon as possible, he will be my source for complete obeyance. (except if Seadra gets to level 70 before Clair, but that's VERY unlikely, unlike level 50 before Chuck)


Team:

Poseidon / Seadra m Lv.32
- Twister
- Smokescreen

I need to work on this moveset, Water Gun does nothing for me, and Twister is pretty useless too, Surf will still do more to anything else except for Dragons and 4x Water resisters, but I don't think there are any, Ludicolo doesn't exist yet.

Hallelujah! The Twins are down! One to go!!!With enough Crunches and Revives, all is possibble!!!!

Yea, so the team is not turning out the way I wanted to in the first place, but hey - It's lookin' decent. And if there's one thing I love about this challenge, it's assembling an interesting team with Pokémon, you're not used to. And that's what I'm trying to do. Anyway, on my way to Snowpoint City, I finally caught mysellf a Snover, and while looking for a Pikachu in the Trophy Garden, (to get some Heart Scales from the newspaper, which I need for the move relearner) I found several Roselia and I eventually thought to myself: "Hell.. Why not?", and now my final team is gonna have a Roserade, too. Now I just have to grind all my Pokés up to level 55 before challenging Candice.

Here's my team:

Torterra, lv. 55
Wormadam, lv. 52
Leafeon, lv. 54
Roselia, lv. 22
Tangrowth, lv. 51
Snover, lv. 36

I'm kinda in a hurry right now, so I don't have the time to add movesets. That'll have to wait 'till my next update.

Winding down in emerald, preparing for the final charge.....
-Went through V. Road, oddly enough, Wally's Gardevoir kept using Double Team....
I did the rest in one go, emerging battred, bloodied, and exhausted, nearly out of PP, but, not as hard as Victory Road normally is...
-Spent my immense fortune on items
-Decided to Breed my two Blobs, resulting in their Demon-Gulpin spawn, Heathen, who will be present for the E4 with experience share
-Prepared for E4..........
CHARGE!!!!!

THE ELITE 4

Sidney
-Not too difficult, only Absol even got a KO thanks to Swords dance....Phoebe worries me.

Phoebe
-No problem, she couldn't do enough raw damage to be a threat, she could only irk me with Grudge and Curse.

Glacia
-Another one falls to the poison juggernaut...But Walerein got a suprise Sheer Cold on Lilith...Heh

Drake
-Not too bad either, Ice Beam beasted Salemence and Kingdra lost to Hedorah easy...
-Here I healed PP and used my rare candies

CHAMPION
Wallace
http://www.pokecommunity.com/wiki/File:E_Drake.png-Actually a pretty tough fight, Wailord's immense health, Milotic's Hax Luck,Tentacruel's godliness, and constant Full restores made this tough, Elizabeth really shown against his all Male team...

Next time, Sinnoh!!

Who said that flash was useless?


No, I didn't get a record of the final battle screen, will this do?


Skye the Gyarados. Final Moveset:
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Dragon Rage
Surf

Was indispensable against Lorelei and Lance, for obvious reasons.


Grey Eagle the Pidgeot. Final Moveset:

Sky Attack
Fly
Quick Attack
Wing Attack

My first and best, Grey Eagle was always there to bail me out when I needed it most. I only had one revive going in to Lance and had to revive Skye, so Grey Eagle didn't get to really fight in the Elite Four. Shame, that - I could have had Blaster at full health going into Alakazam if Grey Eagle hadn't been KO'd.


Chitose the Crobat Golbat. Final Moveset:

Haze
Confuse Ray
Wing Attack
Bide

What good was bide? It finished a number of hard battles that Grey Eagle didn't survive. Maybe not the best choice to give it to a freshly caught Zubat, but Chii-chan and me both saw it through to the end. She didn't disappoint.


Blaster the Charizard. Final Moveset:

Swords Dance
Cut
Slash
Flamethrower

It was Blaster that dealt the final blow, but I'll discuss that later. This rowdy fire type was my physical sweeper, and boy did he sweep. No psychic type could stand for long against him. Until he learned Flamethrower, he had Counter. Between him and Chitose, it was dangerous at best to make contact with my team members. Fun Fact: Slash does NOT benefit from Swords Dance in First Generation.


Deathscale the Butterfree. Final Moveset:

Poisonpowder
Confusion
Psybeam
Flash

Blaster may have dealt the final blow, but he would have fallen to a thunder. Enter the Monday-to-Friday MVP of the team, Deathscale. I got extremely lucky that Blue's Jolteon didn't land a hit with Thunder until after I'd scored a poison powder and six flashes. Not only did Deathscale save Blaster's metaphorical butt in that final match, but Deathscale, like Skye, effectively killed two of the elite four - Bruno and Agatha.

WHO SAID FLASH WAS USELESS?

raekuul said:

Tyson has a high special attack? I must have been spending too much time without the Cyndaquil Family, I thought all the fire-typed starters did better with physical attacks than special attacks. I know for a fact that Blaster is that way.

Oh yeah right.

CHARIZARD: Bias towards Special. Does get SD and BD though.
TYPHLOSION: MASSIVE bias towards Special.
BLAZEKIN: Slight bias towards Physical.
INFERNAPE: Slight bias towards Physical.
