Chandelure's Festival of Lights

[Necrum]

Happy Holidays, Pokecommunity! And especially to all of my challengers out there who have been waiting for this. In past years this time of year has resulted in several Christmas challenges, but this year we're changing it up! Hanukkah challenge, anyone?

Rules
1. In order to complete this challenge, you must earn 8 badges and defeat the Champion of your region (Or Ghetsis in B/W)
2. By the time you challenge the Champion, you must have all six of the team requirements filled by different Pokemon.
3. Mega Evolution, Pokemon Amie, and trading/hacking in team members, within reason and legal, are all permitted for this challenge. Mega Stones and evolution items may also be traded in if they do not appear during the story.

Team
1. By Light of Fire: A Pokemon with a single burning flame on any of its family (Charizard, Chandelure etc)
2. Spin the Dreidal: A Pokemon who knows Rapid Spin (Claydol, Hitmontop etc)
3. Maccabee: A Pokemon with over 110 Base Attack (Gallade, Dragonite etc)
4. Coming together: A Pokemon that knows a move that can be used in support of an ally (Audino, Volbeat etc)
5. That Not-Jewish Friend: A deer-like, tree-like, or fat Pokemon, or Delibird
6. Feast of Dedication: A Pokemon you think would be delicious (This is sort of a free pick)

Planned team, as of right now:
1. Chandelure. I legit think this is my only choice? Does Tepig line ever have a single flame?
2. Drilbur line
3. Still in the air but probably Meinshao
4. Alomomola (the other 5th gen support Pokemon. I will probably regret this.)
5. Sawsbuck or however the hell it's spelled. The Deerling evo. That one.
6. Starting with Tepig line (because pig), but gonna swap it out for ICE CREAM POKEMON as soon as I can.

I named my Tepig "Ham". Mmm. Ham.

I'll start this as soon as my 24 hours of no Pokemon is over.

Lol I'm so happy someone saw that. But I do think that Gardevoir is a decent Pokemon. ;) :t282:

 

[Necrum]

Thanks to the efforts of jdthebud, molivious, and waters_echo, I now have an idea of what could be used in gen 1 and 2, where there is no double battle stuff to support. In gens 1 and 2 you are free to be very loose with interperting this rule. Basically look for a way to make support happen, be creative if you're gonna play those games.
