Fisherman Arcaneum takes to the stage!​

After a lifetime spent by the waters, drifting along with its ebbs and flows, Arcaneum decided they wanted to stop their coasting and take their life in a different direction - the stage! Now they take to the stage in pursuit of stardom!

Divine Offering: Segment #2

So we reach Segment #2, which means I have a whole load of new rules to torture me. Yay! As a Performer, I have the following rules in place:
- Variety 2 - If any of your Pokémon know two or more moves of the same type, then they may not use either of those moves in a major battle. Offer Requirement: A lv. 20+ Pokémon who's gained worthy status by landing the final blow with a non-stab damaging move.
- Rehearsal 2 - All of your Pokémon must know a damaging move that's been taught by TM/TR (or HM if available). Offer Requirement: A lv. 20+ Pokémon who knows or can learn Last Resort or Trump Card.
- Power 2 - At least one of your Pokémon must know a move which charges on the first turn and hits on the second (like Dig) and use it successfully at least once in every major battle. Offer Requirement: A lv. 20+ Pokémon who gained Worthy status by defeating an opponent with a Sound-based move.

So... yeah... this was fun! NOT. This was a huge timesink as I had to catch a fair few Pokémon AND get them to level 20, which was a bit of a mission considering where I am in the game and what I have available to train against. So first off, I decide to catch and level up CANTOR the Kricketot, as it already has learned Bide (which counts towards the condition for Power 2). HOWEVER, I quickly realise that really I want to be finding something that can use a sound-based move to just get rid of this rule instead AND that CANTOR is useless because I now have access to a move to teach it in Rock Smash. More on this later.

After that I go on a bit of a catching spree, catching HAGANE the Buizel and EXETER the Geodude, namely to get another Pokémon and a Rock Smash user. EXETER comes with a nice variety of moves, meaning I'm not limited by my rules, and also can use Rock Smash meaning that I can in fact use this Pokémon. This is shortly followed by NYMPH the Psyduck, who I again keep in reserve to train later once I've removed these rules.

At this point, I decide to look up what can learn either Last Resort or Trump Card and am pleasantly surprised that Pachirisu can learn it! So I decide to catch myself one, ending up with my good friend DYNAMO. So beings one long grind to start getting Pachirisu u- hang on, Pachirisu has Bide too! Excellent, in that case I decide to use it as my Pokémon for Rehearsal 2. However this means I now can't use it to clear my Rehearsal 2 rule... quite the quandary. Until that is, I see that Bidoof can learn Last Resort too! I catch myself QUAN the Bidoof and teach it the Pluck TM I obtained earlier and start my long grind in Eterna Forest. Thankfully with our friend healing us after every battle, this became a really easy grind to evolve QUAN into a Bibarel and get it to level 20. Then I enter Eterna City, getting the Cut HM from Cynthia.

Perfect! This means that I can now teach my Pachirisu Cut so that it can be used in battle, so another long grind begins to get my Pahicirisu up to level 20. What feels like 15 hours later and DYNAMO is level 17 and I encounter a Chingling, making me realising something else. I may be able to clear all three rules at once. As Chingling learns Uproar at level 17, I may be able to catch one and level it up a bit. SO that's exactly what I do, catching IQ the Chingling. Apart from I then realise I can't actually use it because I don't have a TM or HM to teach it!!!!!! It doesn't learn anything, nightmare! On the way back through Eterna Forest I catch another friend in PEACH the Murkrow (as I chanced upon it and we get a Dusk Stone soon!), as well as catching SHUNKO the Meditite so I have a Bide user (as Pachirisu has THREE Normal moves, so cannot use Bide in the Gym Battle).

So I decide to finally take on Gardenia and eliminate 2 of my rules - Variety 2 with QUAN and Rehearsal 2 with DYNAMO. This proved to be a mission from the start, as Cherubi's combinatoin of Leech Seed, Growth and Grass Knot was becoming a bit painful. Thankfully I got my Bide off straight away to get that out of the way and then slowly chipped away at it with DYNAMO (who could only use Spark at this point), eventually defeating it and becoming worthy:

Thankfully with the hard part out of the way, it was time for the big sweep. In comes Bibarel to make short work of Turtwig with Pluck - meaning that it becomes worthy AND did so using a non-STAB move:

​

With that, Roserade comes in and takes a hefty hit from QUAN's Pluck, before POURQUOI then finishes it off with Bite, and we obtain our Forest Badge and the Grass Knot TM (meaning we can finally use IQ!) and thus ends our second segment, with two out of three rules removed! Yay!

I have sacrificed DYNAMO the Pachirisu and QUAN the Bibarel, thank you both for your service this segment!

Finally another update. Alas, it's a short one!

I had one rule left to lift. I needed a lv. 30+ Pokémon who knows or can learn Safeguard or Refresh to become worthy... I looked through the available mons in my game and settled on raising a Butterfree! Back to Ilex Forest it was, headbutting the same trees I found my Pinecos in earlier. Kind of poetic 😊

After finally getting it up to lv.30, I was ready to tackle Jasmine. I knew this gym would not be an ideal place for Butterfree, but then neither would the upcoming ones, so I had to go for it, team it some TMs, and dig in.

Heroic Butterfree managed to defeat her first Magnemite to lift my final rule!

Spoiler:

Update gym 4:

Very short update here. Took a lot of grinding to get to a level where I could beat Chuck. Had to reset a couple times so I didn't keep losing my money to him. Eventually Pidgeotto took out both his Pokémon. Please please I am going to update the "count on your own strength" rule (Pidgeotto knew the move Pluck). I don't want to be doing an almost itemless run 😭

Update #3 - Omega Ruby's second badge

After seeing the stage up on my third rule, I was devastated. I was under the assumption that sacrificing a Pokémon for a rule would make things easier for me, not harder...Now I've got to have half my party be of Pokémon that know or can know moves that switch them out. Wingull can learn U-Turn, and that's probably enough in a party of 3 Pokémon.
I went to the Pokémon Center to recover my Pokémon, and then an idea sprang up to me. What about that Training thing that May told me a few moments ago? Last time I tried it out, it mentioned increasing my base stats, so maybe I could get Poochyena to join early! So I tried that out a few times, focusing on only speed, but...there were no increases at all. Disheartened, I returned Poochyena to the box and continued my journey. This time the same scientist from Petalburg Woods needed my help again, so that told me of my next destination.
On Route 116's grass, I found a couple of Pokémon that I beat to level up my own. Today, I learned that Nincada is apparently weak to Water-type moves. It was a shocker. I never caught Nincada before (or maybe I did and didn't look at it), so I assumed that with the green color with was Bug & Grass or something. Alright, I'll look for another one and find out! ...But then I gave up after not finding it 3 times in a row.
Battling that Team Magma grunt didn't take more than a few minutes. Could've been faster if his Pokémon followed the same magma theme, but I guess that won't be until veeeery later on.
I rescued the Peeko and it was then that I noticed I hadn't gotten the HM for Cut yet. There was a segment just a bit on the left from that cave with some trees that could be cut. I made my way to the Cut house on Rustboro to get the HM, and then I headed to Devon Corporation, where instead of being rewarded financially for some Devon Parts that probably would cost a lot in the black market, I was given yet another task by the Devon Corp's own President, Mr. Stone. Well, he did give me some upgrade on my PokéNav, but that's one feature that'll never be used either way.
I made my way to Mr. Peeko's owner, cutting whatever trees I could find in the way for some extra goodies. I hadn't bought any Poké Balls, but I was given a Great Ball by the guy who got stolen by the Magma grunt, and found one on Petalburg Wood's cut path on the right.
I finally reached Mr. Peeko's owner's house and didn't waste a moment going to Dewford. Now that I'm here, it's a good time to do some shake up in my party, within the allowed limits. I found a couple of Pokémon in the cave to the west of Dewford and caught a Makuhita, but it didn't meet the challenge's requirements. After making this bare effort, I skipped ahead to the Gym.
With a party with two Flying-type Pokémon, the Trainers were a piece of cake. They all only had a single Pokémon. I'm not completely sure about the third, last one even though I just battled it, but it probably only had one as well. The real challenge here was figuring out this Gym puzzle.
I went up against Brawly, leading with my Flying-type Pokémon. I am underestimating him, not going to the Pokémon Center after my previous battles. My wounded Wingull took down his first Pokémon, which my memory didn't even register because it took seconds to take it down. Two turns, but it was that fast. To play safe with the 4 turns rule, I switched out to Taillow, who did a OHKO to the Makuhita. And just like that, Brawly was gone.
I don't think this whole Gym took more than 10 minutes really...

This time, both Taillow and Wingull were worthy but...gonna keep the party as is.

Eleanor's third update!

Pokémon White 2 as Ruin Maniac

This segment was... interesting. I had one rule that didn't even affect the battle so I just didn't care about it until the right time came. Then I had that rule that only worked on major battles, those being... only Burgh so far. I got lucky again. And then that rule about no Grass and Water moves in battle. Which was nothing complicated.

Feeling pretty eager to continue, I dealt with the movie studios thing, the Plasma grunts, and then it was time to board the ship to Castelia with... really just Stromboli the Pignite because why not. It's only in the Castelia Sewers that I started catching more Pokémon... two Zubats (which I named after caves in my general area: Postojna and Frasassi), two Roggenrola (Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, which are some of the highest alpine peaks), and yes... even that Pokémon. Onix. Which I named Gerlach after the highest mountain in... Slovakia.

During my hunt for Onix I actually found that one item that saved my life, even if I didn't know about it... a Rare Bone. Yes, because when it came time to sell items I had obtained up to a value of $10 000, the Rare Bone covered half of it. Half of that half was covered by the Rare (lol) Candy that the Castelia Treasure Hunt (you know, the clowns that give you the bike) gave me, and the rest was basically me buying Super Potions and selling a bunch of them back. Oops.

I did a lot of Audino grinding to get my Pokémon ready and faced Burgh with... all of the Pokémon above, minus Rosa. Not that I wanted to sacrifice Pignite, but I needed a safety net if things went wrong. Which they did. Because Dwebble was handled just fine by Gerlach, who also landed 3 Rock Tombs on it. Rock Tomb has 80% accuracy, so it counts for my "That lens was useful 2" rule. Leavanny came in immediately after, and Postojna, now a Golbat, had zero trouble defeating it. Then... Karrablast came in and I answered with Matterhorn the Roggenrola. Who I wanted to be on red HP so that I could remove a certain rule. And here... I tried them all I think. I healed him with just an Oran Berry so that the HP wouldn't get too high, I used Sand Attack to stall out and get hit by Karrablast, but right when I hoped I could get Matterhorn down to red HP... what I think was a high roll I calculated incorrectly just... took him away. No sacrifice here.

I guess he'll live to see another day once I take him back to the Pokémon center... and then will get sacrificed when I beat Elesa. But still, that's one less Pokémon I could've traded in for points. At least Frasassi the Zubat came in to clean up Karrablast and earn herself the Worthy status. Last up was Shelmet, who I just used Pignite for - technically he's worthy too now, but I don't feel like sacrificing him just now. He's actually been carrying me through the actual game and doing a lot of the more behind-the-scenes stuff.

And so... I would like to sacrifice!
- Frasassi the lv. 21 Zubat, for Draco's "We got the groove 2". For some reason, Showdown says Zubat can learn Endure.
- Postojna the lv. 23 Golbat, for Aldo's "Prepare the Battlefield". It has Inner Focus after all.
- Gerlach the lv. 21 Onix, for Draco's "We got the flow 2". It can learn Psych Up via TM in a few generations, don't ask me why.
- Matterhorn the lv. 21 Roggy, who failed his mission this time around...

Notable Events:
Grabbing the scraps of my team and although it takes several tries I manage to get past Cheren without grinding.
Once inside the cave, I catch several level 30 mons: Drilbur, Guldurr and Boldore.
All of them are very powerful pokemon, but on such a lengthy route they still rely on support from my Sigilyph and Unfezant so that I can progress smoothly.
I leave the area fed up with caves and wild encounters and trainers and just want to get it over with.
I challenge the gym not caring about getting a full team or raising my levels, type advanatage is all I need!

Gym battle:
Excadrill (33) 2shots (with some luck oneshots) Vanillish (37) using Rock Slide.
Gurdurr (35, Eviolite) stalls beats Beartic (39) with Wake-Up Slap and a few Hyper Potions.
Boldore (33) oneshots Cryogonal (37) with a Rock Slide.

Not as smooth as it sounds, had to try at least 5 times to find the right strategy but saved an hour of grinding.

Sacrifices:
My whole team: Excadrill, Gurdurr and Boldore.

I'll pick up the gift Larvesta Egg for the next segment to maybe get rid of that last rule and be able to train up a permanent team.

GT Challenge in Pokémon Sapphire

Segment 2

​

New rules meant I could use new Pokémon.

I backtracked a little bit and caught Wurmple, which evolved into Dustox. I was lucky on this one. Can't imagine grinding mroe than one Wurmple to get Dustox. Dustox can learn Confusion and can have Coumpound Eyes as an ability, making it perfect fodder for sacrifice. And because Dustox isn't Psychic-type, I can use super-effective Confusion against Brawly.

As I'm slowly running out of time to finish this event, I didn't look for other Pokémon I could use. Dustox was enough. I grinded it to level 20 and then steamrolled Brawly's Gym. And with that, Dustox is worthy to get rid of Suprise! rule on tier 2.

Sacrifices

- Surprise! 2​

Updated you all.

 

[apro]

Notable Events:
So I'm about the enter the last segment with still 1 rule left to remove
For that I need to go to Route 18 and pick up a Larvesta Egg.
I also catch a Litwick in the Celestial Tower to make it easier to hatch.
I catch a Stunfisk on Route 8 to at least have something new before continuing the story.
I catch a Golett in Dragonspiral Tower as well.
Sigilyph is still my highest levelled Pokemon even though I tried my best to not use it since gym 3, it just got stuck on me anyways.
I nearly loose to the grunts at Dragonspiral Tower, so I decide to get a full team before continuing.
I also realize that my Litwick actually has Flash Fire instead of Flame Body...
So back to Celestial Tower, catching another Litwick and spend 15 minutes hatching my Larvesta.
I realize I've made another mistake in my calculations: I originally wanted to keep Larvesta at level 1, but I actually need it to be 30+ for the offer requirement...
I really want to sacrifice a level 1 Pokemon though, and since I already have all the tools I need, I breed and hatch a level 1 Dwebble (with Sturdy so that I wont need to look for a Focus Sash).
Next I head to Mistralton Cave to catch an Axew, because it has False Swipe which I really need for the gym if I aim to sacrifice my level 1 Dwebble there.
Surprise! I find a Cobalion in Mistralton Cave as well! I quickly catch it too, legendaries are always great to have. Getting rid of Stunfisk though, that one didn't measure up to my expectations...
Trying to continue the story by entering the Relic Castle, but my team Really needs some grinding, I'll head back to route 8 and/or 18 for the trainers I previously skipped and get my team into shape.

Gym Battle:
None

Sacrifices:
None

Update #5: Clemont
Zero rules, zero problems. Also a note on the last section: Received the Fly HM before the Grass gym. Could not learn it on anyone. Caught a level ~12 Ducklett later to use Fly out of battle.

Hates Route 13 in X/Y. Deals with wind, getting chased by Pokemon, and Arena Trap. Cannot really control the wind. Waited 5-10 minutes for the wind to stop blowing to get a Sun Stone for SpecialSun (Helioptile). Evolved it at level 40 to snag Volt Switch.

Blew through Team Flare. (Why do the end trainers only have one Pokemon each?) Tried to get NoLifeGround (Golett) some experience to evolve before Clemont. Struggled versus most of the Dark Pokemon, even with a 10 level advantage. Wound up being enough, however. Evolved into Golurk during the run up to Clemont. Helped quite a bit.

Spoiler: Gym #5 Log

Turn 1: Heliolisk: Volt Switch (95%, switch to Golurk) / Emolga: Aerial Ace (109/136)
Turn 2: Emolga: Hyper Potion (heal to full) / Golurk: Shadow Punch (95%)
Turn 3: Emolga: Hyper Potion (heal to full) / Golurk: Shadow Punch (95%)
Turn 4: Emolga: Aerial Ace (85/136) / Golurk: Shadow Punch (95%)
Turn 5: Clemont's Heliolisk: Grass Knot (15/136) / Golurk: Bulldoze (100%)
(Level up.)
Turn 6: Golurk: Switch to Lucario / Magneton: Mirror Shot (116/134, -1 Accuracy)
(Mega Evolved Lucario)
Turn 7: Lucario: Aura Sphere (99%) (Magneton's Sturdy) / Magneton: Electric Terrain
Turn 8: Lucario: Aura Sphere (the rest)

Took longer than usual. Won without much issue still.

Gladly accepts the Thunderbolt TM. Discovered NoLifeGround learns Fly now. Okay, sure. Beats keeping Ducklett around.

Sacrifices no one.

Update #6: Valerie
Corrected Vivillon's name to "FalseCold" for its Polar Pattern. Zipped off straight to Lavarre City. Battled whatever trainer wanted to fight. Did not seek them out.

Oh, right. Tricked a Pecha Berry onto Calem's Meowstic with Shh (Mr. Mime). Stole it with PointFly (Beedrill). Wanted that in the wings, just in case.

Spoiler: Gym #6 Log

Turn 1: Golurk: Earthquake (100%) / Mawile: Fainted
Turn 2: Golurk: Heavy Slam (100%) / Mr. Mime: Fainted
(Level up.)
Turn 3: Golurk: Heavy Slam (100%) / Sylveon: Fainted

Flexed the 10+ level advantage over Sylveon and co.

Sacrifices no one again.

 

[X_K.V.Jin_X]

Okay so I managed to start my stuff anyway, just wanted to show my starter

 

[X_K.V.Jin_X]

Ok here we go, I went from Pallet to Viridian after choosing my plant friend.(already delivered Oak's package) Now I headed towards Viridian Forest, I caught Pikachu, Caterpie, Weedle. Then defeated Bug Catchers and exited the forest. Later I recognised some faults and came back from Pewter to catch a Pidgey. Fast forward, I trained Caterpie till level 17(yeah now a Butterfree), the guy forgot 2 moves(string shot and stun spore), making it eligible for stuff. Same with Pidgeotto, I raised it till level level 19 then evolved, allowing it to have the moves Whirlwind, Tackle, Gust and Sand Attack( again eligible for the other things). More fast forward, I avoid that rookie weakling in Pewter gym and went straight to Brock. Leading with Bulbasaur(level 10), I use Leech Seed then tackle then switch to Butterfree, Confusion almost OHKOs it, then I use Poisonpowder for sake of it and then confusion again, boom. Hahah whatever now came the so-called tanky Onix. Weak but took time. I tried sleep powder but Brock spammed Full Heal, so before switching, I use a confusion. Now time for gust + sand attack spam, 4 turns done- switch back to Butterfree. A tackle I used before switching back and finishing with Gust, Sacrificed my Butterfree and Pidgeotto. Was fun, ok anyway time for Misty, gotta leave Pewter. Lator!

Sacrifices: 2

Pokemon Shield - Segment 3

_{Life Drain 3 - Your Pokémon may only gain 30 levels while under your care, before you have to box them. Offer Requirement: A lv. 30+ Pokémon who has gained worthy status by defeating a Pokémon with a HP-draining damaging move.
Thinking Matter 3 - All of your Pokémon must know a Psychic or Ghost-type move. Offer Requirement: A lv. 30+ Pokémon who may have the ability Rock Head, Reckless or Sheer Power.
Ethereal Spirits 3 - In order to complete a Segment, you must first make it so that an opponent trainer will hit any of your Pokémon with a move they're immune to. Offer Requirement: A lv. 30+ Pokémon who may have the Levitate ability.}

Started by making sure only to keep current team members who know a Psychic or Ghost move; Beans the Diglett (knows Astonish) and Eclipse the Noctowl (knows Extrasensory) got to stay. Then returned to the wild area, and caught Wisp the Gastly, who soon evolved into Haunter, and a wanderer Onix, who knows Curse. The final member of our team took a while to catch, as Ralts in the wild area can only be caught in a specific place during a specific weather, but eventually we caught not one, but two! The first Ralts I ran into was female, and then fortunately the second was male. Welcome to the team, Romeo and Juliet! After training, Romeo evolved into Gallade, using a Dawn Stone also found in the wild area.

Also made sure to activate the Ethereal Spirits rule; ran into a lady who had a Yamper, switched into my Diglett and caught an Electric-move (forgot which). Later in the rival battle against Marnie, managed to do it again by accident, catching a Fighting-type move onto my Haunter.

The gym battle went as planned. Haunter went first, managed to hypnotize Ninetales on its 3rd turn, then got a OHKO with Hex, becoming worthy. Next Gallade went out against Arcanine. Arcanine was faster, but Hypnosis connected on the very first turn, and it took Gallade two Dream Eaters to finally take down his opponent, fully restoring his health and becoming worthy. Finally, Onix came out, dynamaxed, and obliterated Kabu's GMax Centiscorch with a Max Rockfall, thus becoming worthy.

Sacrifices for this segment:
Haunter - has the ability Levitate - removes Ethereal Spirits
Gallade - become worthy by defeating his opponent with a HP-draining move - removes Life Drain
Onix - has the ability Rock Head - removes Thinking Matter

Update 7: Olympia
Punched through Frost Cavern. Still questions why high-ranking Team Flare members own only one Pokemon each.

Grabbed the Experience Point O-Power in Anistar. Comes at a good time. Returns to something more than (just) punching good. Caught RainGoo the Goomy and DarkClaw the Sneasel for the gym. Leveled them up a bit. Taught DarkClaw Aerial Ace, rather than grab a Heart Scale for Feint Attack.

Fought a surprise Rival battle in front of the gym. Pushes these battles too much. Appreciated the extra experience.

Gym time. Swapped to Switch mode to make things easier. (Preferred it on Set to save time during trainers.)

Update!!!

Spoiler:

I have beaten the Elite 4 and the (former) Champion!

I lifted all my own rules, but didn't lift anyone else's. I took a chance and I'm praying there's a prize for not helping others or I'm gonna look like a selfish so and so!

I will do a proper write up when I get home tomorrow!

I took a chance and I'm praying there's a prize for not helping others or I'm gonna look like a selfish so and so!

Notice that I didn't lifted anyone else's rules as well and I finished my challenge first so if there's a prize for not helping others, I'll get it or we both get it. I hope the latter.

I'm not even sure such a thing exists!!! 😅

But if it does I would assume it was available to everyone who finishes.

Not my event of course, but I'm assuming there won't be any speed related achievements due to two things.

1. You are at the mercy of waiting for updates before you can play on, and some wait a lot longer than others due to irl getting in the way at different times.

2. Some play on emulators, others play on real hardware with no save states or turbo options. My understanding is it's more about the challenge as a whole rather than speed, otherwise it's not a level playing field and we'd all be playing RBY on an emulator at turbo speed!

Log
- Galarian Slowpoke valiantly sacrificed himself against the Bede battle.
- Gastly evolved
- Revived Arctozolt, Dracovish and Dracozolt
- Venipede evolved twice
- Toxel evolved (Amped Form)

- vs. Gym Leader Opal

I use Pidove as sacrifice to satisfy my rule and then switch Galarian Slowpoke in.

Galarian Slowpoke dynamaxed and killed Weezing who was 7 levels stronger than it, becoming Worthy

Toxtricity came in to deal with Mawile. It used Nuzzle twice and then spammed Spark until Mawile was weak enough that I let it kill Toxtricity.
Haunter came in and killed with Shadow Ball, becoming Worthy

Haunter let me heal Toxtricity and then cursed Togekiss, letting it accrue damage so Toxtricity could come in and kill it with Spark, becoming Worthy

Toxtricity managed to waste one turn of Gmax Alcremie, and then Cinderace came in and started to soften Alcremie up for Scolipede which just spammed Venoshock, until Alcremie died and it became Worthy.

Badges: 5 / 8

Sacrifices
- Galarian Slowpoke (Power Limits 2 on TwilightBlade)
- Haunter (Flare Up! 3 on me)
- Toxtricity (no rule)

Eleanor already lifted your We got the groove 2, so it can't be lifted again.

Omega Ruby - Gym Badge #3 - Mauville City
Current Team:

Mudslide the Marshtomp - Level 23

Mightyena - Level 18 (Route 101)

Zigzagoon - Level 18 (Route 103)

Ralts - Level 17 (Route 102)

Swellow - Level 23 (Route 104)

Basil the Oddish - Level 19 (Route 110)

Gym Battle (16 Turns)

Spoiler:

Turn 1: Level 18 Mightyena used Fire Fang (Pokemon Dex Nav special move) on Level 18 Magnemite. Mightyena became paralyzed from Thunder Wave.
Turn 2: Enemy Magnemite used Volt Switch. Oncoming Voltorb was hurt from Fire Fang.
Turn 3: Enemy Level 19 Voltorb used Volt Switch. Magnemite was brought in and defeated by Mightyena's Fire Fang.
Turn 4: Per Time Limit clause, switched out to Marshtomp. Enemy Voltorb could not use Volt Switch against Marshtomp.
Turn 5: Enemy Voltorb used Rollout, not very effective. My Marshtomp used Mud Slap (did half damage).
Turn 6: Rollout continues. After Marshtomp's Mud-Slap, Voltorb is in the red.
Turn 7: Rollout misses. Enemy Voltorb is defeated by the third Mud-Slap.
Turn 8: Final Pokemon is Magneton. Switched out to Oddish. Magneton misses with Supersonic.
Turn 9: Supersonic confuses my Oddish. Its confusion prevented it from attacking. Magneton could not do much to Oddish with Volt Switch.
Turn 10: Oddish's Mega Drain did not do much. Maybe 1/10th of Magneton's health. Magneton continues using Volt Switch.
Turn 11: Volt Switch defeats my Oddish. Switched into Marshtomp.
Turn 12: Enemy Magneton used Supersonic, which worked. Marshtomp used Mud-slap, which almost defeated Magneton.
Turn 13: Watson used a Super Potion. Marshtomp hurt itself in confusion.
Turn 14: Magneton used Magnet Bomb. Marshtomp used Mud-slap.
Turn 15: Per Time Limit clause, switched into Ralts. Magneton used Magnet Bomb (Ralts fainted).
Turn 16: Switched into Marshtomp. Magneton used Magnet Bomb. Marshomp used Mud-Slap and defeated Magneton.

Worthy sacrifice: Mightyena - defeated two of Watson's Pokemon by itself
Option limits - You may only catch one Pokémon per area (you can choose it yourself; gifts don't count towards this rule). Offer Requirement: A lv. 10+ Pokémon from the Field Egg group.

Pokemon Shield - Segment 3

_{Life Drain 3 - Your Pokémon may only gain 30 levels while under your care, before you have to box them. Offer Requirement: A lv. 30+ Pokémon who has gained worthy status by defeating a Pokémon with a HP-draining damaging move.
Thinking Matter 3 - All of your Pokémon must know a Psychic or Ghost-type move. Offer Requirement: A lv. 30+ Pokémon who may have the ability Rock Head, Reckless or Sheer Power.
Ethereal Spirits 3 - In order to complete a Segment, you must first make it so that an opponent trainer will hit any of your Pokémon with a move they're immune to. Offer Requirement: A lv. 30+ Pokémon who may have the Levitate ability.}

Started by making sure only to keep current team members who know a Psychic or Ghost move; Beans the Diglett (knows Astonish) and Eclipse the Noctowl (knows Extrasensory) got to stay. Then returned to the wild area, and caught Wisp the Gastly, who soon evolved into Haunter, and a wanderer Onix, who knows Curse. The final member of our team took a while to catch, as Ralts in the wild area can only be caught in a specific place during a specific weather, but eventually we caught not one, but two! The first Ralts I ran into was female, and then fortunately the second was male. Welcome to the team, Romeo and Juliet! After training, Romeo evolved into Gallade, using a Dawn Stone also found in the wild area.

Also made sure to activate the Ethereal Spirits rule; ran into a lady who had a Yamper, switched into my Diglett and caught an Electric-move (forgot which). Later in the rival battle against Marnie, managed to do it again by accident, catching a Fighting-type move onto my Haunter.

The gym battle went as planned. Haunter went first, managed to hypnotize Ninetales on its 3rd turn, then got a OHKO with Hex, becoming worthy. Next Gallade went out against Arcanine. Arcanine was faster, but Hypnosis connected on the very first turn, and it took Gallade two Dream Eaters to finally take down his opponent, fully restoring his health and becoming worthy. Finally, Onix came out, dynamaxed, and obliterated Kabu's GMax Centiscorch with a Max Rockfall, thus becoming worthy.

Sacrifices for this segment:
Haunter - has the ability Levitate - removes Ethereal Spirits
Gallade - become worthy by defeating his opponent with a HP-draining move - removes Life Drain
Onix - has the ability Rock Head - removes Thinking Matter

Thank ya so much! 2 more sacrifices done btw:
Okay so after Pewter I got rid of all da rookiez in ma way upto da Pokémon Centre in Mount Moon. I went to the lowest floor, caught Geodude, destroyed more noob NPCs, and got outta there. Got both da itemz, then jumped to the Pokémon Centre in Cerulean citay. Caught Ekans, and got all ma homiez high enough to fight. Destroyed my rival, cleared route 25, snatched the SS Anne ticket and got back to more grinding. Ivyaur, obviously, got me rid of thoze useless people in the gym. Then came da battle with Misty:
My Pikachu was leading against Staryu. Thundershock, somehow, didn't OHKO, however that Staryu somehow couldn't damage ma homie Pikachu anyway. Thunder wave then thunder shock for sweep. Heh whatever now came some okie doomie playa, Starmie. Pika did whateva he could before dyin', then came ma ekanS. Wrap spam, but that Starmie almost OHKOed ma homie. Switch to Ivysaur, Tackle to bring dat rival down low, sleep powder, another tackle almost KOs, still that guy sleeping when I switch n bite him with ma Snake. Nice.

Rules to be upgraded: Back and Forth 2(used Pikachu with Quick Attack/Thunder wave/Thunder shock/Growl ) and Team Effort( lvl 10+ pokémon that can have moves/abilities preventing switch) (Ekans got Wrap), I would love to have those rules upgraded :)

How I got my current team:
(previous pst link)
https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=10561577#post10561577

Notable events:
Grinding.
Beaten the grunts at the Relic Castle.
Grinding.
Barely manage to get past Bianca with revives and Hyper Potions.
Grinding.
I feel like I have beaten every single trainer in the region...
Grinding.
And finally: the gym.
Oh wait, after the gym: even more grinding, because Im gonna sacrifice half my team here...

Gym battle:
Starting with a Chandelure (43) to cripple enemy Fraxure (41) with a Will-O-Wisp and stall until Drayden runs out of potions.
Switching in Larvesta (39) to finish it off.
Against Druddigon (41) I use Chandelure (43) and my own Fraxure (43) to weaken it, Fraxure (43) has False Swipe, the main reason I brought it here.
Once they're down and Druddigon (41) has 1 HP left, I send in Dwebble (1), which takes a hit from Chip Away thanks to Sturdy and finishes it off with a Fury Cutter. They both faint because Druddigon (41) has Rough Skin, so Dwebble (1) cant level up.
Last opponent is a Haxorus (43). I use my Golurk (43) to weaken it and finish it off with Cobalion (42).

Sacrifices:
Larvesta (39) to get rid of my only remaining rule.
Dwebble (1) and Cobalion (42).
