[RedBattler]

Final Update Wooo

vs. Red
Pikachu lv 77
-Headbutt
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden power
-Thunder

I lost SEVERAL times :embarrass, so I will only describe the battle which I won

Vs. Pikachu - Okay, so I started off with a headbutt…some how managed to have more speed than Red's Pikachu. Anyway, headbutt took out more than half of his Pikachu's hp and caused it to flinch! Lucky, I guess. All it took was another headbutt to finish off Red's Pikachu. Much easier than I had anticipated despite being 5 levels below Red's Pikachu.

Vs. Espeon - I really had to watch out for psychic. Pikachu used thunder to get the job done, but it only depleted slightly more than half of Espeon's hp (wish i had a lightball!!) in addition to paralyzing it. Espeon used his deadly psychic, severely damaging Pikachu. I could not risk an "Attack missed" with another thunder, so I countered with a thunderbolt instead to finish off Espeon. Espeon was nothing compared to Red's next pokemon.

Vs. Snorlax - Lol now I know why everyone fears this pokemon! I started things off with thunder which barely dented Snorlax's hp. Snorlax responded with body slam which MURDERED Pikachu. I switched to Totadile and used a revive. After my poor Totadile was crushed, Pikachu used thunder which took out a reasonable chunk of Snorlax's hp this time and paralyzed him. I got VERY lucky after this - Snorlax was fully paralyzed for the next two turns. This saved me a few revives which I could use for later. After a thunder followed by a thunderbolt, Snorlax fainted…ugh. I'm so happy he never used rest.

Vs. Venusaur - Although thunder was not very effective on grass types, it did more damage than headbutt. Venusaur luckily DID NOT use sunny day and prepped up for a solarbeam instead. This gave Pikachu a free turn to use thunder. Each time Venusaur used solarbeam, I was forced to heal with a hyper potion. While Venusaur was taking in sunlight, I attacked. Eventually, I resorted to thunderbolt, as I needed more accuracy. After using my last potion, Venusaur FINALLY fainted from Pikachu's thunderbolt. :knockedou

Vs. Charizard - A pleasant change compared to the last few pokemon. A single thunderbolt left him in critical hp, but flamethrower destroyed Pikachu. :cer_pissed: After being revived, Pikachu used thunderbolt to finish off Charizard. Pikachu also grew to lvl 77.

Vs. Blastoise - I tested my luck with thunder which, of course, missed! :cer_pissed: Blastoise used surf which caused Pikachu to faint. Used another revive. Pikachu used thunderbolt this time and took out more than half of Blastoise's hp. After one more thunderbolt, Blastoise fainted!

And the most difficult, frustrating but entertaining battle came to an end!

Thoughts/Reflections - I noticed that there are quite a few instances where g/s/c really caters to electric pokemon. Anyway, overall there were no issues with most of the trainers and gym leaders (maybe Clair and Jasmine were exceptions) of Johto and Kanto. The Elite 4 and Red, on the other hand, were pretty difficult. Pikachu's special attack was often inadequate for sweeping the opponent's pokemon. If I had attached a light ball to Pikachu, this would have been a different story. Pikachu's weaknesses really became apparent in the battle with Red whose pokemon were at similar level to Pikachu's. I never realized how skilled Red was in g/s/c until this battle. In one of my attempts to defeat Red, his Espeon used reflect and his Snorlax used amnesia rendering all of my attacks against snorlax next to useless.

For the most part though, Pikachu was able to take quite a few hits while sweeping an opponent's entire team. I am very pleased to have used Pikachu in my first solo challenge! ^_^

Try putting Cut on Bayleef in place of Poisonpowder or Tackle, I know it isn't a great move, but you can use the move deleter in Blackthorn to get rid of it and put something more useful on before the E4. That or train to a ridiculously high level. Or have one of your HM Slaves, if you have them, get a sleep move and put Scyther to sleep and go wild with Tackle.

Update #5

Spoiler:

- Beat all of the Rockets in the Radio Tower, Jaz got to Level 50.
- Beat ??? in the Rockets underground base.
- Let Jaz evolve into Ursaring at Level 51.
- Rescued the Director.
- Did the second part of the Radio Tower.
- Flew to Mahogany.
- Made it through the Ice Path.
- Taught Jaz Icepunch to make the Blackthorn gym a whole lot easier.
- Didn't even need to use Icepunch. Used Slash on each of her Pokemon and they fainted. Weird, she's usually a challenge.
- Did the Dragon's Den part to get my badge. Got the extremespeed Dratini.
- Made my way south back to New Bark Town.
- Got the Master Ball from Prof. Elm.

Jaz/Ursaring @ Pink Bow
- Icepunch/Firepunch/Thunderpunch
- Slash
- Faint Attack
- Lick

HM Slave I/Totodile
- Surf
- Headbutt
- Cut
- Whirlpool

HM Slave II/Psyduck
- Strength
- Waterfall
- Rock Smash
- Flash

HM Slave III/Spearow
- Fly
- Peck
- Growl


Decided to add the Pokemon I have into this update, because I'm done with the Johto Gyms. I'll probably do the same once I'm finished the challenge, though the HM Slaves won't change at all, and I'm not sure how much Jaz' moveset will change either, I might lose Lick and put Earthquake in there, but I'm not sure yet, since Lick is useful for Ghosts, but the Elemental Punches would get the same job done on Ghost-types.

 

[tharding6]

i took this challenge with Kingler and defeated it. He finished at level 88. His stats and moves were:

HP 249 Blizzard
ATK 313 Surf
DEF 269 Strength
SP. A 159 Crabhammer
SP. D 159
SPD 199

I just hacked it and started with Krabby instead of Totodile, He fainted a total of 3 times. Twice against Jasmine.. By far my worst battle, because both Magnemites have thunderbolt, and my physical attacks were not very effective against the steel. Reguardless, Krabs the Kingler prevailed

 

[Disco_x]

- Got to the end of Victory Road, defeated ??? again.
