GT11 Pokemon Challenge

[Janp]

Well, looks like i failed this challenge so hard... I only got to Virbank City and after getting stuck in that movie area, unable to save and refusing to start whole challenge again, I gave up...

 

[AoTora]

There seems to have been some confusion. Apparently someone thought your game was invalid because you're playing a ROM hack, but this is incorrect due to the fact that ROM Hacks are allowed by the rules.

Thankyou for bringing back my previous post. I was in the middle of the game and about to update when I saw that it was deleted - I nearly quit playing without saving after that - but I should be able to make an update post in few hours when I am done with some more game~

 

[Gulpin]

So I had some problems catching Banette yesterday, so I had to trade for a Shuppet which I then bred. I've also updated my team's movesets and done some more grinding since my last update. As soon as Shuppet evolves and catches up with the rest of the team in level, I should be ready to take on the Elite Four!

Pidgeot / lv64 / Return, Fly, U-turn, Roost

Gothitelle / lv64 / Psychic, Energy Ball, Future Sight, Heal Block

Rotom / lv64 / Rain Dance, Thunder, Hydro Pump, Ominous Wind

Banette / lv51 / Knock Off, Protect, Will-O-Wisp, Screech

Umbreon / lv63 / Toxic, Protect, Moonlight, Dark Pulse

Noivern / lv64 / Boomburst, Dragon Pulse, Air Slash, Super Fang

Edit: Shuppet evolved and everyone's gained a few levels!

GT challenge final update (3)

nothing went my way in the ladder half of the e4, and by that I mean absolutely nothing xD I was able to easily knock out Malva, Drasna and Siebold. the trouble started when Wikstrom's Aegilslash kept fooling me with kings shield, I could not predict at all what move he was going to use. luckily, i was able to take it out with Dewgong's shear cold after a couple revives.

but... i wasn't out of the hot water yet. after battleing my way through Diantha's mons, she was only left with her gardevoir. I was expecting it to be relatively easy, but man was I wrong. I had forgotten to give my gardevoir its mega stone, and since all of my other mons were weak to her gardevoir's plethora of attacks, all I could use was my gardevoir o.o it ended up being a revive fest that lasted about 15/20 minutes.

I was finally able to win when its Shadow Ball ran out of PP. thus bringing an end to my challenge.

final team:

Spoiler:

#011: Diggersby (f) Lv. 52 Dig/Bounce/Super Fang/Quick Attack

Rivalry: Kabutops (f) Lv. 69 Ancient Power/Aqua Jet/Mega Drain/Wring Out

Weather: Dewgong (f) Lv. 70 Ice beam/Sheer cold/Aqua Tail/Hail

Hoenn: Mightyena (m) Lv. 73 Take down/Assurance/Swagger/Crunch

Unity: Tynamo (f) Lv. 66 Tackle/Thunder Wave/Spark/Charge Beam (it didn't help that I forgot to take off its everstone after learning I could evolve it xD)

Wildcard: Gardevoir (f) Lv. 70 Psychic/Hypnosis/Calm Mind/ Magical Leaf

Challenge: Complete

There's no rules on items. Use whatever you need to.

 

[AoTora]

Well ya still got today and tomorrow, so either way. At the least you qualify for participation haha!

 

[Miau]

I finally have my team! I decided to use Butterfree for #11, since Mightyena seems way too similar to Luxray. I caught an easy Caterpie in Santalune Forest, and I hunted Cryogonal for a couple of hours in the Frost Cavern. Bred a Drought Vulpix with four egg moves, and a Numel with Growth to take advantage of the sun. Luxio and Pumpkaboo were caught in the FS. This is what they look like untouched, so I have a long training session scheduled for tomorrow, hehe.

Oh, and you get a cookie for guessing the naming theme, hehe.

Sorry, Zygarde is banned from the challenge.

 

[Wanderer Miror B.]

Yeah, sorry I managed to miss that. I went ahead and edited the post above with a couple resulting team member changes.

 

[Cyclone]

One more day guys! This is doable! :)

 

[Wanderer Miror B.]

Here's a quick first update:

I've got my team together and am currently grinding on Victory Road with Moltres in the lead and the EXP Share on. Movesets are a work in progress, so I won't bother posting them.

Here they are (all were bred today except Moltres which I caught this afternoon) :


Moltres Lv. 71(Hasty Nature, Met in Sea Spirit's Den at Level 70)

[Candy]

I wanted to complete the challenge, but I am terrible at setting up strategies so I have to resort to leveling. But I don't have time to grind, mostly because I sleep most of the day and awake most of the night (at a time when my mother keeps on pestering me to sleep, and she can detect whether I'm actually sleeping or not), and I... don't like master-training. I hate beating up the league over and over again for training. I never did that in any of my playthroughs at all.

So I'll just post my final team before GT11 ends, 'cause I know I won't make it in time. :'D
Please excuse my terrible move choices.

Spoiler:

He was #011!

#11 the Staraptor - Lv 69
Close Combat | U-Turn | Fly | Brave Bird

Bitter Rivalry

Viridian the Leafeon - Lv 69
Razor Leaf | Synthesis | Energy Ball | X-Scissor

Harsh Weather

Sunny the Volcarona - Lv 64
Flamethrower | Quiver Dance | Silver Wind | Sunny Day

Hoenn Confirmed!

Serenade the Milotic - Lv 64
Ice Beam | Water Pulse | Aqua Ring | Surf

Unity

Keiran the Braviary - Lv 64
Crush Claw | Hone Claws | Aerial Ace | Rock Slide

Wild Card

Reaper the Absol - Lv 64
Night Slash | Slash | Psycho Cut | Shadow Claw

Also, let me laugh at the fact that Braviary, Volcarona and Absol all have natures that decreases their best attacking stat. Also, Absol's nature increases his Defense, which is useless considering how low of a defense he has and that even training won't help it at all.

I will complete this challenge though, but not within the GT11 timeframe. The fastest would be the day after GT11 if I really want to defeat the league multiple times, but it's tiring. :'D

 

[Miau]

I started training in the Winding Woods with Aquarelle in the lead, Exp Share turned on, most of the team holding Lucky Eggs. After everybody was level 20+, I went to the Battle Chateau. Activated a Red Writ (+10 levels increase), and that's when the fun began. I'm trying to let everybody battle, well, except Allegretto since he's still a Caterpie, as I'm keeping all of them unevolved to boost the exp gain. My favorite part was mooching 10k+ exp off each lv. 55 Audino with an untouchable Frilly in the lead ♥

I'm going out for lunch for now, so here are the team's levels and moves as of right now:

Allegretto | Lv. 34 | Tackle · String Shot · Bug Bite · n/a

Bluebell| Lv. 43 | Thunder Fang · Bite · Thunder Wave · Roar

Belladonna | Lv. 35 | Feint Attack · Heat Wave · Hex · Hypnosis

Ellipsis | Lv. 34 | Earth Power · Earthquake · Flamethrower · Growth

Frilly | Lv. 46 | Trick-or-Treat · Leech Seed · Bullet Seed · Shadow Sneak

Aquarelle | Lv. 48 | Ice Beam · Flash Cannon · Light Screen · Reflect

Oh, and I need to trade-evolve Pumpkaboo, if anyone feels like they could help, please let me know :)

 

[FSNW5yiFrXVXqv]

'kay, so my team is finally bulked up and ready for the league. Later on, I also hope I could manage to beat Red with the few levels I'd be gaining..and in time before the event ends.

#11 Pidgeot (Pidjooot!) - Lv68 / Heat Wave / Fly / Roost / Steel Wing
Hoenn Armaldo (Buggy) - Lv72 / Rock Blast / Brick Break / X-Scissor / Aqua Tail
Wild Card Rattata (Ratty) - Lv69 / Dig / Crunch / Hyper Fang / Iron Tail
Rival Arbok (Ahas) - Lv72 / Gunk Shot / Glare / Thunder Fang / Poison Jab
Weatherman Tyranitar (Sir Maquis) - Lv71 / Stone Edge / Earthquake / Crunch / Dragon Claw
Unity Gyarados (GT11:Arc)- Lv71 / Giga Impact / Avalanche / Aqua Tail / Dragon Dance

tried to make every move different and one poke be able to cover another's weaknesses. The battle style is also set to...'SET' and Rattata is always my brave little front =3 lazy naming ftw!

 

[Necrum]

Today is the last day to submit a completion post to qualify for the completion emblem. After midnight, Pacific Daylight Time, the challenge will be closed to new champions, however you are free to post here after that if you finish later, it just won't count.

EDIT: Crap. I didn't know the levels of the League Pokémon were boosted in the rematch! I'll have to get everyone to level 60 if I really want to beat them...

Yeah, they get new Pokemon in HeartGold when you collect all 8 badges in Kanto. Best of luck, I know Johto is not the best when it comes to grinding. You will get an emblem though whether you manage to complete it or not, so don't stress yourself out too much, it is for fun after all. :3
