Update time for Emerald 386!

-Got Houndour as my starter, and named him Oven (something I've been using a lot this season).
-Caught a Meowth for my no STAB Pokeon (and have been avoiding his normal type moves as much as I can). Named him Hairball.
-Got a Cubone, pre-named Rubix, as the in-game trade
-Trained, realized Cubone stopped obeying me ;;
-Got smothered and defeated about 27 times by Roxanne before I managed a win.
-Got down to Dewford, found a Zubat, named her Tree b/c I lack creativity.
-Trained up until Tree learned Wing Attack and Oven evolved into Houndoom. I forgot what level Zubat evolved so it eolved unexpectedly!

I will post pictures in my final update. For now, my team:

Hot damn, thunderpunch was a great investment- Starrys kicks arse so amazingly thoroughly.
And since it's Christmas, and that's supposedly about Family, Maelstrom is Spate's father (hence her more-than-just-present-and-fly movepool.)
Slurry's really strong, despite her attack strength restriction.
Flurry pretty much takes anything and everything out with ease, same with Hurricane.

Now to... do... something... um...
I don't even know what to do now...
I suppose I should draw their Challenge Shots.

THE TEAM SO FAR​

Forrest - Treecko - Male
Lvl 15 - Rash
- Absorb
- Quick attack
- Leer
- Iron Tail​

Daggerless - Zigzagoon - Male
Lvl 10 - Calm
- Shadow Ball
- Iron Tail
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam​

Artemis - Houndour - Female
Lvl 11 - Brave
- Leer
- Ember

Okay, so I've got 3/6 pokemon now. I beat Roxanne easily, Forrest just absorbed everything. I did grind a bit before the battle, catching Artemis while doing so. I used some small cheats just for Daggerless to fulfill his category, and to obtain Artemis, but it's all good. On, to Dewford!

And Element0:

[munchhack]

Shiny Pokemon: Red Gyarados :P

Coal:

[Arcturus.]

Presents
Your favourite non-legendary - Venasaur
Fossil Pokemon - Kabutops
Shiny Pokemon - Whichever Pokemon shines first, I guess

Coal
Ugly Pokemon - Cloyster
Evil Team Pokemon - Marowak
NFE - Scyther

I'm liking this team a lot. But do you think you could replace the Shiny Pokemon with something else? I just don't see myself coincidently getting my first shiny Pokemon trying to complete this challenge.

Edit
You know what? Maybe I will encounter my first shiny playing this challenge. Christmas miracles, I suppose.

 

[Golurks Were Meant to Fly]

Is it okay if I finish my updates after Christmas? I'm going to be away from computers during break, but I should have time to play the challenge so I'll be done before Christmas, it's just that my updates won't. :P

 

[Riku]

Mid-Game Update

Current Badges:

Current Team:

Kanda / Samurott (M)
Lv. 36 - Brave
- Revenge
- Megahorn
- Razor Shell
- Focus Energy

Diagator / Krokorok (F)
Lv. 37 - Hasty
- Bite
- Swagger
- Rock Tomb
- Bulldoze
​

I also have an Emolga waiting in the box to be traded for a Gigalith once I get to Route 7. Currently am trudging through Relic Passage to try and get in some additional grinding before going through Chargestone Cave. I may make another update after getting all the badges and before doing the main story content after Humilau, but if not, the next one will be post-Champion and E4.

 

[waters_echo]

I'm wondering if it would be okay if I did another one of this challenge, but just to see how far I can get in a day and a half? (I'm gone on the 25th through the 3rd, so... it would have to be Gen I (Red), given that's the only other gen that I can do proper high-speed in)

Also, I fought the League for an eighth time, then edged my way through Mt.Silver again.

For some reason Red seemed way easier this time? I feel like I can say I beat him Properly this round.
