...Eventually, I have yet to get started. lol

Necrum said:

We had a Mono Species challenge before that would qualify for, though I wouldn't recommend doing that with Ditto haha, if you run into a trainer with one then you're pretty much trapped for eternity :P

Only Arceus can decide who is the better transformer. I shall prevail!

But yeah I might cheat and give one of my Dittos an extra move just in case something like that happens.

Somebody should totally re-open the mono species challenge so I can make it official. xD

Stargazer said:

Not necessarily... Once Ditto uses Transform and transforms into you, the PP for all its moves resets to 5. So no escaping that :P

really...dear god. Then i guess one must do the transform-switch-transform routine for quite a while until the pp of all dittos run down...or enter the battle with 0pp. lol 6v6 tho.

We can't stop here! This is challenge country.

You know, part of that title kinda gives me the feel that the arcade challenge fits Las Vegas, which is known for its casinos.

Haha, I hadn't even considered that, that's pretty funny.

Is the "i" instead of the o supposed to be a typo or is there some reference i'm not getting? :P

Yeah I guess I was typing too fast earlier, I actually caught that right before I came in here haha! It's fixed now. Messing with DCC titles is fun. :3

I literally had the worst team to level up...

In my Monotype I had to raise Budew and freaking Burmy with its Protect and Tackle as its only attack.

Then in my Gym Leader challenge, I had to level up the freakin' cancers of wild encounters aka Tentacool and Zubat.

Then in my Other gym leader challenge, I had to level up Abra, which is not so bad but still tedious to get some experience on it.

Probably one of the toughest team I had to raise for challenges until now xD

I am starting a Pokemon White 2 Egglocke and I really need the eggs so can you guys send me some eggs on [email protected] if you dont know how to do it you have to use pokegen. Make a pokemon save it from tabs and email me the created pokemon and make sure that it is the lowest evolution stage and NO LEGENDARIES!!!!!

Thanks,

So after doing my Normal Monotype on Y and saying I considered making it an Ultimate, I thought of a few other types I could do that for, so I made a strawpoll to get suggestions. Vote!

Not sure if i'm not allowed to do this, but these polls can be fun to make.

If you think that is bad never do a mono-colour red in 4th gen>:( . You are forced to raise a krickatot to lvl 16 with just bide to get bug bite to beat Roark.

Yeah, not looking forward to that when I do my Ultimate. jd said it's not too bad, though...

Speaking of Red Mono-Colors, y u no finish yours? :P You're over-leveled in White 2 last I saw, so i'm sure you could get through a bit more of the game.

I remember I had to use a Nuzleaf to beat Brawly once, it was soooo horrible :(

As far as unfavorable match-ups go, the worst i've been thrown was having to use a team of Grass-types with only three (Servine, Sunkern and Leavanny) in White 2 against Roxie on Challenge Mode. I kept failing against her first Pokémon, so I had no choice but to evolve my Sewaddle into Leavanny to win the fight. And even so, I still barely won. Burgh right after that was balls as well.

My worst was recently when I was doing my Random team run through Ruby . Got to Wattson with only Golbat, Swellow and Gyarados as I was trying to catch as I went. after 7+ attempts I got to Magneton and somehow with double team and crits got it to 1/4 heath before a super potion ruined it. Ended up restarting and hacking my complete team in to train up. Even then he was one of the hardest battles, minus Steven's Metagross. Made me think back to using Charmander starting in Red.

Reminds me of the time I had to face Wattson with my team of Tentacool and Zubat xD
iirc, I had to evolve my Zubat into Golbat and use Confuse Ray on Magneton and it kept hitting itself while I just kept using Bite and I finally defeated him xD

I was also only able to beat him on my normal run with headbutts and sand attack. It was worse when his Voltorb would Self Destruct on his first turn taking your best hope with it. I think that if you battled Steven through the game as your rival he would easily be the most annoying challenge to face.

DCC has become a horror story thread.


Speaking of which, taking on Emerald's E4 with a NFE team (Clefairy, Krabby, Swablu, Pikachu, Trapinch, Dratini) is an absolute nightmare.

So, the Stadium Arcadium Event is over, right? I keep waiting for Necrum to post a final tally or something.

Noticed he hasn't been on all day, hope he isn't busy becoming eviler D: I just want to hear his verdict on XY's Exp. Share since the poll is tied!

On one hand, I want the Exp. Share to be unbanned, because training in the game i've found to be a headache on occasion without it (not as bad as Johto/RSE, but still unpleasant). On the other, if it doesn't, I won't be too upset, if only because I often go in against Gym Leaders and the Elite Four behind even their lowest. In my Normal Monotype on Y I went in at Level 59 and still beat the four without too much concerns, even with Set mode and no bag items in battle. I went in on my Red Mono-Color at the same level, and Siebold was the hardest of them by far, but Diantha was very edgy as well (quite a bit of luck, came down to my Scolipede against Mega Gardevoir, and OHKO'ed her with a critical hit Poison Jab, that may or may not have mattered since I had the Poison Barb).
