The Grinding Challenge

[TheElectiWire]

I might try this in a modified slightly insane mode with egg moves and trading between games but all the pokemon will be breed or caught on the game that I do it on. Gonna try for 30 level 40's and a team of semi-Ev conscious training Level 75's in Heartgold. I'm first getting my team to level 40 then I'll fight Morty (4/8 Gymleaders), then I'll train a box of pokemon to level 30. By the time I beat Red, I will have 2 boxes of pokemon at level 60.

I'm thinking:
Electivire
- Thunder Punch
- Fire Punch
- Meditate
- ?
Naughty(+ Atk, - Sp. Def)

Garchomp
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- ?
- ?
I finally figured out how to get outrage and earthquake on garchomp without using a tm.
dragonair + Gible = Outrage gible + Larvitar = Outrage Larvitar + gible = Earthquake Outrage Garchomp

Crobat

Starting my game today, got the egg moves breed on Elekid. I'm gonna upgrade my progress every few hours.

2:15 - Level 16 Quilava

4:00 - Level 19 Quilava
- Level 14 Elekid
- Level 2 Pidgey

6:30 - Level 19 Quilava
- Level 19 Elekid
- Level 17 Pidgey
- Level 3 Spinark

25:02 - 22 Caught/75 Seen
- Level 40 Electabuzz
- Level 33 Quilava
- Level 12 Gible

Hi, i would like to take this challenge for the ruby game! It will be fun. :) i'll post my updates here and such. Thanks! Easy mode btw.

EDIT: Alright so i started the game, went through the beginning and such. I picked Treecko, defeated the poocheyna, and went through all that other stuff :P So after the beginning beginning, I grinded up Treecko to lvl 10, and went to odale town. I beat May easily, and went through all that other stuff, and went to the next part in the game. -The place where you go before you can get into the next town- I grinded Treecko up to lvl 12, and caught a poocheyena. I grinded both them up to lvl 15, beat the trainers, got into the next town, met my dad, helped wally catch his pokemon and moved on. I went through that forest, beat all of the trainers up to the next town. I am currently grinding my pokemon to lvl 20. I caught a Taillow.

Insane Mode

Cya till my next update

EDIT: As I was grinding I had been thinking

Insane Mode. You must capture every unique Pokémon you come across and train them to the required level before entering each town.

What if we buy repels and don't come across any new pokemon? :) it isn't against the rules. What do you think?

Damn. This challenge is really hard and takes a huge amount of time. Mankey was a ***** to grind. Pidgeotto, Wartortle, Spearow and Rattata were all okay but Mankey and Caterpie took FOREVER. I just Karate Chopped both of Brock's Pokemon for the win. On to Cerulean!

Also, while grinding, I ran into a shiny Weedle. I have a feeling that since I will be battling so many wild Pokemon, I might see a few more shinies.

This is taking forever! Oh my gosh. I had to grind for about 13 hours to get from Cerulean to Vermilion. That was so evil. The only good thing that has come out of this is that the battles are extremely easy and there is not a chance in the world that you could lose. I just beat Gary with my LV33 Pidgeotto. Lt. Surge is up next!

So freaking difficult. I played for SO LONG! Grinding in Mt. Moon was absolutely terrible. I am very sad. Nothing really exciting has happened so far. I would usually quit challenges like this, but because I am so involved already I might as well stay. This is a very tough challenge.

[psyanic]

I'm all up for this. I've been getting bored not doing anything. I'll do insane mode on Ruby. Hopefully, I'll update every town or so!

EDIT: Huh, no one replied to this thread so far. Anyway I started Saturday and chose Mudkip as a starter blah blah blah boring parts, then I grinded like crazy. It took forever to grind, I'm telling you. And I'm on insane... I've been catching everything and all so I got to Slateport with about 35 hours clocked in. I caught all the residential Pokemon so now I'm grinding them to 35, since everything else is. Almost halfway there!
