The 719 Challenge

[Arlo]

Quick update - everyone is level 59 or 60, I've got 16 badges, I rechallenged and redefeated the E4 and the champion, and now I'm just pointlessly grinding for levels so I can beat Red.

 

[Matzeho1996]

I'll give this a try, but based on the previous couple of posts, I'm a little confused about what my team should be/whether someone is using the previously mentioned team or not.

Use the team I posted a while ago

 

[Imperator161]

Use the team I posted a while ago

Jumpluff, Espeon, Umbreon, Murkrow, Slowking and Misdreavus? Sounds good. I'll update later.

Actually you can evolve Pineco, but the team is alright

Ah, yes, sorry. I was listing the first stage of each. And I'm not allowed to evolve Gligar, correct?

 

[Wanderer Miror B.]

I'll join in as well.

Name: Orrefan8888
Game: Pokemon Crystal
Pokemon: Steelix, Granbull, Qwilfish, Scizor, Shuckle, Heracross
Skipped Pokemon: none

I am allowed to do Steelix and Scizor, right? Or did the player(s) doing Onix and Scyther already take care of that?

 

[AzureSparkz]

I'm dropping out of this challenge for now cause Heartgold roms are so glitchy and I just don't got the time to replay the same things over and over. I will probably be back when the Hoenn dex starts.

My team was Arcanine, Poliwrath, Alakazam, Victreebel, Tentacool, Golem.

 

[Arlo]

And done.

I'll be back when you get to Hoenn.

Feeling another run; I've been dry on doing Challenges. Plus, I have a few of these Pokemon on save files from previous Challenges!

Username: GucciMeme
Game: Crystal
Team: Sneasel, Ursaring, Magcargo, Piloswine, Octillery, Delibird
Skipped: Corsola (Recently used Corsola in the Location Challenge in Japanese. I can't trade my Corsola between English and Japanese versions, plus I don't want too many Water types.)

You are allowed to use both

AZealous no you can't evolve Gligar

Arlo I will update you later to the champions list, congrats

I'm still at Mt. Moon in my run, I just did not have enough time to play...

 

[Wanderer Miror B.]

You are allowed to use both

Sounds great. I'll have to wait to get the battery on my Crystal fixed since it just died, but I'll start once it is ready.

Someone should pick up this team cause I'm not going to finish it.

[Pokefan203302]

Can I do a Black 2 one? So I guess that would be Porygon-Z, Stantler, Smeargle, Tyrougue (can't control what it will evolve with, so I guess just Tyrougue), Jynx, Electivire.
edit: Nevermind. I don't have the pokemon I need to do it, so I won't do this challenge.

 

[タイラー]

I havent played it much recently but heres an update

•Trained All pokes to lvl 8
•Stormed through Sprout tower

[Imperator161]

Jumpluff, Espeon, Umbreon, Murkrow, Slowking and Misdreavus? Sounds good. I'll update later.

Seven badges down so far. Hacked in most of the team at the start to make things more interesting. Currently, it's:
-Misdreavus lvl 26
-Slowking lvl 34
-Umbreon lvl 31
-Murkrow lvl 28
-Jumpluff lvl 29
-Espeon lvl 31

And another update: Beat the Elite Four, headed towards Kanto. Will update more later.

 

[CelticsPhan]

It's been two weeks since I signed up for my Crystal Challenge, and now it is finished with Piloswine, Ursaring, Magcargo, Delibird, Sneasel, and Octillery.

Spoiler:

-Traded my whole team from other games. In hindsight, I should have chosen Gold, but it's whatever.

FALKNER
-My Teddiursa mopped him up with Scratch.

BUGSY
Slugma used Ember!

WHITNEY
I got Slugma to Poison with Smog, then I tanked the Miltank Rollouts.

MORTY
My now Ursaring used Lick and Faint Attack to defeat him.

CHUCK
Octillery knew Psybeam, so he wasn't any trouble.

JASMINE
Octillery again, but Magcargo took the Magnemites out.

PRYCE
Ursaring with some help from Magcargo.

CLAIR
Delibird (Icy Wind) along with Ursaring (Ice Punch).

WILL
Went with Ursaring and Faint Attack.

KOGA
Magcargo silenced his Bugs.

KAREN
Piloswine took care of Umbren, and the rest of her team was easy. I was pretty ahead of the level curve because of the boosted EXP from trades.

LANCE
I put Ice Punch and Icy Wind on everything that could learn it, and this helped me defeat those Dragonites. Octillery did some work with its Special attacks.

ON TO KANTO

SURGE
Ursaring knew Earthquake, no big deal.

JANINE
Ditto!

ERIKA
Delibird and Magcargo, pretty self-explanitory.

SABRINA
I went head-on with Sneasel. Her Psychic attackers couldn't touch me.

MISTY
A mix of Ursaring and Sneasel. No strategy, just attacking.

BROCK
Octillery blew him away.

BLAINE
Oftillery again!

BLUE
The whole team was used in this fight. I cloned the TM06 Toxic to allow my team to defeat Blue effectively. I did not fight many Trainers in Kanto, but I did not need to because of my ToxicStall strategy.

RED
Piloswine >Pikachu
Sneasel >Espeon
Octillery with Toxic > Blastoise, Snorlax
Magcargo > Venusaur
Magcargo with Rock Slide > Charizard, the Rock Legend

Pretty cool, one of the better teams I've run with in a while.

FINAL SCREENSHOT

Spoiler:

 

[Imperator161]

I just finished my challenge. Kanto was a breeze, as usual. I wasn't that high-leveled when I reached Red, but managed to take him out in the end. His Snorlax didn't want to go down, but Misdreavus finally took it out with Perish Song.

The team:
-Slowking level 62
-Misdreavus level 48
-Umbreon level 50
-Murkrow level 42
-Espeon level 61
-Jumpluff level 50

Red defeated:
