    • I'm back, and since I don't feel like finishing (or even starting) my Zangoose run on White, I decided to start a brand new USC! This time, using another underused 3rd Gen Pokemon:

    Devonshire, the Sableye
    (free cookie to whoever gets the reference in the name)

    I have a feeling that this one will be the toughest.

    At least, I did before I actually started the run. I'm already past Brock AND Misty, without breaking a sweat. Devonshire is a boss. He's already level 30.

    • I'll join playing left green with a Pidgey solo run


    Journal 1 : Started the game and all the starters were changed to pidgey for the sake of this run.
    Named myself BOB and my rival POP.
    Easily defeated my rival. Made my way to viridian city and got oak's parcel.
    Then I leveled my pidgey to level 13 for brock's gym.
    Got lost a few times in viridian forest looking for items.
    Caught a caterpie for hm use. Also caught another pidgey for hm use as well.
    Made it to brocks gym and lost twice then I finally beat him after enough trouble.
    then I made it to Mt. Moon and aught a geodude for hm use.
    Got to cerulean city and saved the game for the day.

    • And in the course of only two hours, Devonshire the Sableye has now dominated four more Gyms, triumphed over Team Rocket two more times, and kicked my rival's ass thrice over. My premonition of high difficulty was grossly misplaced; either that, or perhaps I haven't quite gotten to the challenging part.

    Present Summary    :
    Devonshire, the level 69 Mild Natured Sableye
    Stats:
    HP: 179
    Attack: 130
    Defense: 122
    Sp. Attack: 129
    Sp. Defense: 99
    Speed: 109
    Moves:
    Faint Attack
    Mega Punch
    Psychic
    Shadow Ball

    BTW, I figured it would be tougher because Sableye isn't exactly very strong, nor does it have the largest move-pool. Even with its lack of weaknesses, it has pretty bad stats all around. But currently, Devonshire is proving my theory wrong, so I dunno. Maybe it is much better at battling than I first guessed.

    • AND SUDDENLY MYRRHMAN OUT OF NOWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey guys, after nearly 7 months, I've finally updated the OP! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Congratulations to all who have been added to the champions list.

    In other news, I've taken out the challengers list. I just feel that about 50% of the people who sign up for this challenge never finish it. So, once you finish the challenge, I'll give you credit. Sometime.

    In other news, I'm still trying to solo all the fully evolved pokemon for RBY. I can't do all of them because I use the speed button, and at 5000% speed, I will inevitably miss a b button and it will evolve. But yea, doing the fully evolved ones.

    Edit: Well, did Raticate in about an hour and a half. Not too shabby. I fought a lot more trainers than usual. Here's the final screenie.
    pokemonblue01n.png

    His moves were Dig, Body Slam (PP UP'd), Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt.

    • Hey, glad to see this thread finally updated! Although it seems you've missed my recent posts about my Sableye Ultimate Solo Challenge. Which, might I mention, is now onto it's second leg, as I have just finished destroying Kanto's Elite Four.

    Summary: Got the last few badges, which was extremely easy, and conquered Victory Road. However, Lorelei kept screwing me up (Confuse Ray, Sweet Kiss, and Attract are all cheap and dirty tricks), and I had to go back, train a bit more, hype up on Rare Candies, and teach Devonshire Shock Wave, and even still I barely squeaked past her. The rest of the E4 was way too easy in comparison, Bruno, Agatha, and Lance all fell with no trouble. The rival battle was anti-climactic when I look at how hard Lorelei was.

    Either way, FR is done, HG/SS is up next!

    Final summary    :
    Devonshire, the level 90 Mild Sableye
    Stats:
    HP: 228
    Attack: 166
    Defense: 156
    Sp. Attack: 165
    Sp. Defense: 126
    Speed: 140
    Moves:
    Faint Attack
    Shock Wave
    Psychic
    Shadow Ball

    Nah, didn't miss that. I've decided to do the challenge a bit differently. Due to the high percentage of people who sign up for a challenge and don't ever finish it, I've decided to only update your status if you've completed the game. For normal challenges, you'll get on the list once you're done with the challenge. For ultimates, I'll put you under the Kanto list once you've finished that region. Think of it as a 'done through' whatever list your name's on. So, I'll add you to the Kanto list now.

    Edit:

    Did another one today. He knew Drill Peck, Razor Wind, Fly, and Fury Attack.

    Ah, that makes sense. And it keeps those who aren't committed from cluttering up the list.

    Anyways, I WAS going to update after I beat Bugsy, but I accidentally kept going up until beating Jasmine. That speed button is really handy, you know.

    • Another update on the fly here:
    Current Status:
    Game: Soul Silver
    Badges: 8
    Just beat the E4 and Lance, ready to start the Kanto leg of SS
    Side Note: The whole E4 was easy up til Karen, due to Devonshire not knowing any attacks that worked well against Dark Types. Lance's Gyarados actually caused the most problems, though his three Dragonites were no pushovers. Charizard and Aerodactyl were no trouble though.
    Pokemon:
    Devonshire, the Level 65 Adamant Sableye
    Stats:
    HP: 160
    Attack: 150
    Defense: 115
    Sp. Attack: 104
    Sp. Defense: 116
    Speed: 105
    Moves:
    Shadow Claw
    Zen Headbutt
    Dig
    Faint Attack

    Hey, good luck with that. As a guy who has done this already, I know it's pretty tough. Here's a little tip: even if you don't use stat boosting moves normally, keep Swords Dance. One or two of those before each Gym Leader/E4 member helps SO much.

    Little update on my Sableye run, got back the machine part from that Rocket guy from Unova and beat Misty with no trouble. Not much changed with Devonshire's stats, so no stat update is necessary IMO.

    • Ima sign up for this, since I just cleared out my Black version for it :3

    Game: Black
    Pokemon: Cottonee/Whimsicott

    EDIT: Um... well, I'm currently at the second gym, but I seem to have gotten myself into a small predicament... it seems I overlevelled my Cottonee and she refuses to obey, so would I be able to use a second Pokemon to get my second gym badge(then my Cottonee should obey after that) or do I have to tough it out? ...It doesn't seem possible that I could beat Lenora with a Cottonee that won't obey... :S

    • Final Update on SS Run:
    Blaine was easy, so was Blue. Although Blue did give me a run for my money. Got Devonshire to level 91 before taking on Red.

    Red was a TOTAL pain, especially since it seemed that all of his Pokemon could use Blizzard. Lapras was worst, even with Devonshire's Brick Break. Every time it got anywhere near the red, Full Restores came flying out of Red's bottomless bag. I swear he used at least 4 on that thing.

    Pokemon:
    Devonshire, the Level 91 Adamant Sableye
    Stats:
    HP: 220
    Attack: 209
    Defense: 159
    Sp. Attack: 144
    Sp. Defense: 160
    Speed: 145
    Moves:
    Zen Headbutt
    Shadow Claw
    Dig
    Brick Break
