Team Slot Elimination Challenge

[welsknight]

Username: ShinyUmbreon189
Game: Liquid Crystal
Optional Rules: If my Pokemon faints from Critical hit 3 times its considered dead
Mode: Standard (the difficulty curb is higher in the hack so it's more challenging)

I have a quick question. Since it is a legitimate FR hack of Crystal the Johto rules still apply right? In Johto falls you get a Chikorita through an event so am I allowed to use it? It's level 5 but I can easily have it evolved and leveled up for the Elite Four since Victory road is easy training.

Also. If I had 4-5 Pokemon when I landed in Johto since 1 or 2 fainted can I still use the Chikorita?

I doubt I'll make it that far anyways, this game is extremely difficult. Everybody's Pokemon are overpowered.

Yup, that should be fine. Good luck!

On a separate note, here's episode 5 in my challenge run!

Update:

Spoiler:

-Started new game and chose Cyndaquil and named him Vulcan
-Battle my first rival heading back to New Bark Town and grew to level 8
-Received Pokeballs and headed to route 46? and caught Geodude (Rocky) and Spearow (Terror)
-Battled another rival 'Zane' and beat his Porygon
-Flew through the Sprout Tower with Terror and Vulcan and got the Flash HM
-Demolished Faulkner's birds with Rocky's Rock Throw and got my first badge
-Got the old rod in the Pokemon Center before the Union Cave
-Used the rod and caught a level 10 Horsea in the water before the cave and named him 'Recks'
-Horsea easily defeated the hikers in the Union Cave and did some grinding as well to catch up
-Ran into a wild Heracross in the patch of grass when you exit the Union Cave. Caught him and named him 'Menace'
-Battled Team Rocket grunts and beat the leader in the Slowpoke well
-Before leaving the Slowpoke well I captured a Slowpoke and named her 'Amnesia' (wanted male but oh well) she was level 15
-Battled Zane again in the Azalea gym and beat him
-Beat Bugsy with Menace, Vulcan, and Rocky and got my second badge

I'm now about to battle Axel which has an overpowered team including an Quagsire that knows Ice Punch and an Electabuzz (I know it's ridiculous) and all 4 of his Pokemon have leftovers. Not sure why the creators did this not to mention I'm forced to battle Silver after I beat him. Hopefully I don't have to send any Pokemon to the graveyard. Liquid Crystal is probably the hardest game you can do a nuzlocke/team slot elimination with, it's difficulty curb is ridiculous. Faulkners Pidgeotto was level 17.

Team:

Spoiler:

Vulcan level 18

Ember, Leer, Smokescreen, Tackle

Menace level 14

Tackle, Leer, Horn Attack, Endure

Terror level 15

Peck, Growl, Leer, Fury Attack

Rocky level 19

Rock Throw, Defense Curl, Magnitude, Tackle

Recks level 15

Bubble, Smokescreen, Leer

Amnesia level 16

Yawn, Tackle, Growl, Water Gun

Seadra and Slowpoke can both be evolved using evolution stones (Sun Stone for Slowking and Water Stone for Kingdra) and Gravler evolves from level up. This is legal right? LaZ made it that way.

Am I allowed to replace Pokemon if none faints? I may replace a Pokemon for an electric type of something if Golem can't learn Thunderpunch.

Yes, you can replace any Pokemon in your party with any living Pokemon you have. The only exception is if you are playing with Optional Rule #3.

Since it's Johto I get to add 2 more to my team. Do I have to capture them in Kanto or can I use PC Pokemon? Can I buy Pokemon from the game corner and use them?

I'm surprised I've made it this far let alone beat Lance with only 5 Pokemon leaving with 4 since this game is so freaking hard. Good thing I have patience to grind up my team or I would of lost for sure lol.

BUUUUUT, no worries I'm not going to drop out because of that, I'll just start again (A HUGE SIGH)
