Pokémon Type: Ghost
Challenge Type: Single
Game: White 2
My team is:
Drifblim, Cofagrigus, Banette, Jellicent, Golurk, and Chandelure
P.S-(I would do the cool sprites stuff, but I don't know how.)

*FINAL UPDATE* -Soul silver flying
well it only took 2 months from the last update, and almost 5 months from when I started... finally the Challenge is complete
my story is a simple yet long one, after my last update grinding got harder to do, and thus finding motivation to continue was hard too. I attempted to beat red about a month back, but I failed miserably haha. since then I had been slowing grinding a dratini to a dragonite, so I could combat his pikachu that swept me on my first try. just last night I found some motivation to do some bulk grinding, and i was able to finally finish the challenge today.
Battle summary: (warning, it's a long read)
Levels in the end:
Pidgeot - Pig - 57
Noctowl - Hooty - 61
Gyarados - Friend - 66
Scarmory - scare - 59
Dragonite - Dragonite - 56
-
Geodude - Geodude - 17
Completion time: 71:21

I was planning on doing a electric monotype on kanto, but since my flying took way more time than I expected I decided to skip that all together and do what was next on my list.lets hope this will be finished before this time next year.

Solo'd with Smaug for the first three gyms, Charmander becoming Charizard in the process.

Did Silph Co. sidequest. Apparently the Pokedoll no longer works to get rid of the ghost, in case you were curious.
Made my way to Fuchsia City and looked for items in the Safari Zone.
Took on Koga and lost. =[

Just a question before I start. In this hack Serperior is a grass/dragon type would I be able to use it?

I have decided to open a poll for the fate of the Gen 6 Exp Share. It seems to me that X and Y do seem to be made with it in mind, but that doesn't mean it's necessary either. So I'll poll for what you guys think for the next 2 weeks, and make a decision based on the results.
