Update for USC #3.

Final Update (#5) on Emerald.

• Woke up at home, and after visiting with my parents for a bit, I got a call from Scott.
• Boarded the S.S. Tidal at Slateport (the music here is awesome!), and Excalibur grew to L76.
• Used 10 Rare Candies, then beat the rest of the trainers.
• Disembarked at Lilycove, then flew to Rustboro and made my way north to Meteor Falls.
• Found the secret cave, where Steven was waiting!
  
  
  
  
  Steven was tough to get going against, but once Skarmory was out of the way, the rest was cake. Here's the video of the battle.
  
  
  Play-by-play:

Update for USC #3.

And on to Sinnoh!

Update #1 on Platinum.

Name: Arthur
Rival: Mordred (grr, Lancelot won't fit - better name for the rival of this region imo, unlike gens 1 and 2)
Starter: Turtwig

Spoiler:

• Using a wild pokemon editor, I hacked in Scyther on Route 202.
• After the first one didn't have Technician, the second one did.
• Named her Excalibur, and she has an Adamant Nature! Crappy Attack IV though...
• Anyway, we continued on and faced Mordred. Quick Attack spam took him down easily.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Eventually we reached Oreburgh City, and after exploring the mine, we took on the gym.
• The fact that Excalibur started with Vacuum Wave was awesome. Even though her special attack sucks, so does Geodude and Onix's special defense.
• Roark didn't give Excalibur any trouble. Vacuum Wave OHKOed Geodude, and Onix used Stealth Rock and Cranidos used Headbutt while they were both 2HKOed.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Taught Rock Smash to Turtwig and got the Flash TM underneath the Oreburgh Gate (taught to Turtwig as well).
• We made our way north to Florama Town, and heard about Team Plasma making trouble at the Valley Windworks.
• Inside, we found Mars, who was spoiling for a fight. She went down easily to Quick Attack and Vacuum Wave.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Continued north and went through the Eterna Forest, and Excalibur learned Wing Attack!
• After talking to Mordred again and getting Cut from Cynthia, we took on the gym.
• Gardenia was no match for Excalibur's Technician-boosted Wing Attack.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Taught Cut to Turtwig, and we went straight to the top of the TG Eterna Building, where Jupiter was acting out.
• She went down to Wing Attack spam as well.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Got the Bike, and saved on the Route 206 bridge.

Team Arthur:

Excalibur the Adamant Scyther, ♀ - L28
Ability: Technician
Moves: Wing Attack, Fury Cutter, Vacuum Wave, Pursuit

Slaves:

Turtwig - Rock Smash, Flash, Cut

 

[SuperKirbyFan]

Just thought I'd point out to u guys that the reason I'm not updating recently is because I have multiple exams this week.

 

[psyanic]

I'll be doing an Ultimate Challenge, FireRed>Shiny Gold>Emerald>Platinum with a Zangoose.

 

[Pixel!]

I'm doing this on Gold with Wobufett,but since it's impossible,(due to Ghost attacks being physical and Counter doesn't hit,and Dark are special and Mirror Coat doesn't hit,and there's Morty and Karen)
I'm hacking Counter & Mirror Coat to be Dragon type(it won't affect damage,so it shouldn't be a problem)

 

[jdthebud]

Update for USC #3.

Update #2 on Platinum.

Spoiler:

• Crossed the bridge, then went back to the Oreburgh Gate basement and used the bike to get the Brick Break TM.
• Used it on Excalibur, then explored Wayward Cave for a bit.
• Eventually we made our way to Hearthome City, where we took on the gym.
• Fantina was easy as pie, they were all OHKOs with Pursuit.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• When we left the city, Mordred ambushed us, but Excalibur took care of him with Wing Attack.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Cruised through Solaceon Town after getting Defog in the Ruins and battled our way to Veilstone City.
• After some vitamin shopping, we took on the gym.
• Maylene was easy as well, Wing Attack and Brick Break OHKOed all her Pokemon.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Got the Fly HM, then continued south to Pastoria City, then back north to Hearthome on the other side.
• Excalibur learned X-Scissor, and I also taught her Aerial Ace.
• After some Hondew Berry planting, we took on the gy - no, Mordred ambushed us again...He went down easily.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Now the gym was up. Wake actually put up a fight thanks to Gyarados' Intimidate and a crit Ice Fang from Floatzel. Quagsire missed with Rock Tomb, or else Excalibur would have died.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• More plot stuff with the Galactic Bomb and Cynthia's missions, and we are saved on Route 210.

[Eelektrossfan]

I am starting a LeafGreen Solo with Venasaur and I just beat my Rival on route 22

Overgrow/Bulbasaur
Lv 9
Tackle
Growl
Leech Seed

The battle was hard as his Pidgey fired off a lot of sand attacks but i managed to get a leech seed off and used that for the KO. For Charmander I used a very similar strategy.

 

[Pixel!]

Although I love Wobbuffet,without a back-up it is impossible to work with,so dropping of off that, instead I'll do a Xatu Solo-Run on Gold;
Sorry for the trouble

Ultimate Solo Challenge Update #6 with Weedle

Well finally I'm back after writing my exams, so back to updates!

-I finished Rock Tunnel, wow I hate that place.
-Went and fought all but 3 of the battles on Route 8, and all but 1 on Route 12.
-Tried to fight my rival in Pokemon Tower and lost, I guess I'll worry about that later.
-Got to Celadon. Beat the Rocket Grunt blocking the poster and hit the button, and won 400 coins on slots.
-Went to the store and bought drinks and Awakenings, since apparently the other stores don't sell them now.
-I found a PP Up, so I used it on Poison Sting, lol.
-Then I went and beat all the trainers in the 4th gym, including Erika. I had to beat her twice since the first time her Vileplume got a critical on me when she was one Poison Sting away from death. Here's a screenshot of me having beat Erika: http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn205/S_K_F/1118110028a_294171.jpg
