    So keeping Lloyd behind on levels so I can evolve him into Gallade asap has been a pain in the butt. I got to the second gym no problem but Grant was actually a pain to beat. However, before I did go and beat Grant I went onto the route above and eventually caught Kai the Eevee as my fourth member! Going to try to evolve him asap hopefully even before the next gym battle (not that he's going to be much use as an Umbreon haha). Meanwhile Lloyd did evolve into a Kirlia so now it's just a matter of obtaining a Dawn Stone...

    With Kai acquired I managed my way through the gym. Purposely avoided the trainer with Lunatone and Solrock though because haha not with the team I have. Maybe if Max wasn't half poison. As mentioned before battling Grant was a pain as I had to make sure Amaura was asleep so I can take it out. Tyrunt wasn't much of a problem though as I brought his HP down enough and then sent Kai out to finish the job (so he got the affection points for being in the gym battle). Now I'm on my way to my next destination to fight Korrina. Honestly probably going to box Lloyd for the time being until I beat her because as useful as he would be I'm sure Suzaku can take care of her. And then thankfully I can finally evolve Lloyd into Gallade after I beat her. ♥

    Before heading off to Kanto, we decided to pick up a Nidoran, while not opting to go with Girafarig since I don't have a fly slave and I didn't wish to swap my party around whenever I wanted to fly. Either way, we made our way to Kanto, getting a bit of training on our Nidoran while on the ship, and in no time we had a Nidorina.

    We took on the Vermillion Gym as soon as we arrived in Kanto, where I let Quagsire and his newly acquired Earthquake take on the gym by himself, with him not having much of a problem with it.

    The decision to solo the game with Espeon from there on out seemed like a decent idea, with Kanto not being that interesting to play through and most of my pokemon under leveled. I did keep the exp share on Nidorina to get her around the levels of my other pokemon, but Espeon made quick work of Koga, after he fought through an annoying Erika battle, since he was outsped by Jumpluff, but apart from that the battle didn't provide much difficulty. The psychic gym (Sabrina?) was the other gym we defeated, with Feraligatr helping take care of her annoying Espeon before my Espy ran through her Alakazam and Mr. Mime with Shadow Ball.

    With not much care for grinding, it looks like Espy will have some fun, with his Choice Specs Psychic, allowing him to run through just about everything, with the exception of Red who I will work out a strategy when I get there.

    • Woo I finally completed my random emerald run :o This took me ages :o But it was a fun run with an awesome team ^^

    VS. Wallace
    Vs.Steven!

    Final Team:
    097.gif

    Creeper|Female|Naive Nature|Insomnia|Lvl 75
    Return
    Calm Mind
    DynamicPunch
    Psychic
    Hypno is still my least favourite pokemon, though I like it a little bit more after this run. Could be better though.

    219.gif

    Bob|Male|Calm Nature|Flame Body|Lvl 75
    Rock Slide
    Flamethrower
    Earthquake
    Return
    I used Magcargo a lot lately and I always love using him - though it takes ages for him to learn a better rock move than rock throw x.x

    319.gif

    Jaws|Female|Lvl 75|Modest Nature|Rough Skin|@Mystic Water
    Crunch
    Surf
    Return
    Ice Beam
    I enjoyed using Sharpedo- I rarely use one. Though she was super fragile and nearly everything could OHKO her :(

    282.gif

    Athena|Female|Lvl 75|Bold Nature|Synchronize
    Calm Mind
    Psychic
    Return
    Thunderbolt
    Yet another pokemon that I use a lot - she did a great job as always.

    Zara|Female|Lvl 75|Lonely|Immunity
    Shadow Ball
    Return
    Aerial Ace

    She was my favourite team member - she could take hits for days, she could set up with swords dance and than it was game over for whatever she was facing, such a powerful normal type <3

    026.gif

    Sparky|Female|Lvl 70|Careful Nature|Static|@Lax Incense
    Thunderbolt
    Slam

    She really surprised me! I rarely ever use Raichu but she was so fast and she could dish out some powerful moves too! I loved using her and I will defenitely use Raichu more often after this run.​

    Glittering Cave up until after I beat Korrina was painful. I boxed Lloyd do he didn't exceed level 22 and basically stumbled my way through Glittering Cave with Suzaku, Kai, and Max. After I somehow managed to make it though I biked around until Kai was ready to evolve into an Umbreon and did just that before facing my rival. Good thing too, since I'm not sure if I would have been able to beat him without a defensive dark type to go against his Meowstic. After I beat my rival I made my way through Korrina's gym, Suzaku (unsurprisingly) doing most of the work with Max as back-up. Don't think I used Kai at all because lol Dark type in Fighting gym nope.

    Korrina actually wasn't that bad thanks to her Machoke missing with it's rock move. Either way I beat her both times then went and withdrew Lloyd. Now that I had my third gym I could finally get that Dawn stone! But first I went and picked up the fifth member of my team Aurora the Lapras! Just one more Pokemon to go. Sadly I probably won't be getting it until right before the eighth gym oh well. I backtracked and went and got the dawn stone I needed and evolved Lloyd into a Gallade! Things should be much easier now.

    Which they were. Beating my rival the next time around was far easier than when I fought him in Shalour. And the Courmarine gym was so easy Suzaku basically swept the gym all by herself save for Kai going against an Exeggutor. Now it's time to get that electricity back on and go and face Clemont! It should be interesting considering I don't have a ground type to easily face him with. My bets will probably be on Kai, Max, and Lloyd holding the fort.

    Badges: 16 (Red Defeated)

    This was a frustrating end as I was underleveld massively for Red, Espeon way too frail, and unable to combat Snorlax's Crunch. I tried a few different strategies and spent too long on that fight and got nowhere, so in the end I trained Feraligatr up another 5 levels and Quagsire up a bit as well. In the end everyone made a contribution in the Red fight bar Nidoqueen, although she did allow a turn of healing.

    I went into the fight with a strategy but I got screwed over by annoying Pikachu and then I just went with what I had and somehow ended up winning. My original strategy went as planned, using Yawn on Pikachu from Quagsire, since he could withstand an Iron Tail, before setting up Rain Dance to remove that freaking annoying hail that I couldn't remove by changing the date apparently. While Pikachu was sleeping, I decided to make some use of Sudowoodo letting him use Stealth Rock then just healing Quagsire again before he died. Quagsire put Pikachu to sleep and then Espeon was sent in.

    My original plan was to set up defensive battle items until Pikachu woke up, so I could one shot it with Psychic then Baton Pass to Feraligatr on his Snorlax, allowing him to setup further and then hopefully one shot everything, but Pikachu woke up after only 2 items, and OHKO'd Espeon with Volt Tackle. Ouch!

    Had to waste a couple of turns to get Quagsire to put Pikachu to sleep, and then decided to screw it and just send in Feraligatr. EQ took him out and then Venusaur came in. I healed Espeon to take care of that. Snorlax was painful but luckily he missed Blizzard on Quagsire so I could put him to sleep then heal my entire team, and then slowly took him out with a couple of lucky critical hits (although just sped up the process more than anything).

    Lapras I had a decent plan to combat, but Feraligatr was crit hit by Body Slam meaning I had Espeon take it out with 2x Psychic, who managed to survive her Blizzard with 5 hp left. With that out of the way Blastoise came out to battle and my strategy was pretty simple. Set up with Feraligatr due to his lack of physical moves and nothing that could do a heap of damage apart from Focus Blast which it wasted in the first 5 turns. I set up a number of battle items, and stupidly decided to take no chances by setting up an extra one, before I was crit hit by Hydro Cannon, which actually killed Feraligatr.... Meaning I had to repeat the whole process. In the end I got everything done, and 2HKO'd Blastoise with EQ and Waterfall + the stealth rock damage had Charizard defeated. What a horrid fight though. I ended up using 8 X Attacks, 5 X Speed, 1 X Defend, 12 X Sp. Def.

    Our final team though, with a few added comments now that it's over. Items at last battle.

    160.png

    Feraligatr @ Mystic Water
    Torrent | M | LVL 55
    Naughty Nature
    Waterfall | Crunch | Surf | Earthquake

    Probably the most reliable member on the team not surprisingly, nature + high attack stat, meant he could take care of just about everything, and his defence was high enough to withstand just about every non SE hit. Definitely the MVP.

    185.png

    Sudowoodo @ Nothing
    Rock Head | M | LVL 45
    Lonely Nature
    Stealth Rock | Sucker Punch | Rock Slide | Strength

    Wasn't a bad option throughout our run. Probably could have used him a bit more, although didn't really fit into our team that well, since flying was the only types he was better than anything else to fight, and there weren't many of those. His Stealth Rock was handy, although was more there just to say he did something in the Red battle. And I didn't want it to come down to Charizard outspeeding Feraligatr, so the 50% damage would mean Espeon could one shot with Psychic. It didn't need to come to that though. In the end, a pretty shallow movepool, could have done with EQ but with Feraligatr + Nidoqueen, there wasn't much point using EQ on it.

    196.png

    Espeon @ Twisted Spoon
    Synchronize | M | LVL 61
    Rash Nature
    Psybeam | Psychic | Shadow Ball | Baton Pass

    Would have had Choice Specs on him if I hadn't opted to try my Baton Pass strategy since I felt Feraligatr would have had a better chance at setting up against Snorlax. My favourite pokemon though, if I had the effort I would have got Calm Mind on him from the BF but it was too much effort, one reason why I dislike HG. No surprise he was the highest leveled, but I did try not to use him too much for once. Plus he's too frail to take on Red by himself unless I actually go to the effort of leveling him up to around lvl 75.

    195.png

    Quagsire @ Nothing
    Water Absorb | F | LVL 46
    Rash Nature
    Surf | Rain Dance | Earthquake | Yawn

    Pretty useless in all honesty. Yawn was the only reason I actually started training him up, so he could withstand a hit from more than just Pikachu. Rain Dance was put on before the final battle to get rid of the hail, and was probably one of the reason we won the battle on that attempt despite everything going against the plan towards the start. But really the last time I'm using him, attacks are weak, nature was terrible, defences are quite average and the - SpD meant he died to just about anything special.

    031.png

    Nidoqueen @ Choice Specs
    Poison Point | F | LVL 44
    Rash Nature
    Cut | Rock Climb | Poison Jab | Earth Power

    Unfortunately turned out to be our HM Slave. May have made more use of her if I could have had those 2 extra slots, but kinda needed them. Really her stats aren't anything great though and there's no point. Choice Specs was just there for the sake of it, I knew she wouldn't be used in the final fight but I figured the boost on Earth Power could be handy if only to get rid of the Pikachu to begin with. Don't think I'll ever use her.


    Probably didn't have as much fun as I wanted to with this run. I've used Espeon way too much, my team was pretty average at best type wise, had no thunder or fire moves, so dealing with water types was a pain, and in the end meant I was just relying on Espeon and Feraligatr and meant I had to teach him EQ so then he clashed with Quagsire and Nidoqueen, so really I just didn't have the variety in my team to make it interesting. Just glad I got it done.

    • I don't know if I should do this in a new post. It's a good team, I only have 2 questions:
    With keeping my starter I actually ment that I also want to keep my Kanto starter, is that a ploblem?
    I can't trade-evolve onix but I remember you can trade it in-game in cyllage, is that also good?


    The rest of the team seems pretty good and I can get them early in the game so that fine
    I hope I'm not too much touble
