FIre Red - Ice challenge start to finish:
-
Started the game as Baby (Ice Ice...)
- Based my rival's starter on my Trainer ID
-
Picked my hacked starter Merps the Shellder
- Played the opening
- Realized Shellder is 1) not Ice type yet 2) doesn't learn water-STAB on its own 3) focuses physical Attack but only has Tackle for a physical move
-
Brock down!
- Met a guy with a Magnemite in Mt Moon, had no chance.
Rekt by Magnemite count: 1
- Learned Aurora Beam, game suddenly 10x easier
- Got TM Secret Power, no longer walled by water types
-
Misty down!
- Water Pulse finally gives me STAB, though Secret Power is still better
- Find another guy with a Magnemite.
Rekt by Magnemite count: 2
- Skipping Lt. Surge for now for fear of Magnemite.
- Rock Tunnel cost almost all my PP, even without fighting the wild
- Rushed to get the Silph Scope, Kangaskhan was really scary
- Cruised through the Pokemon Tower
- Got past Snorlax to get a Super Rod
-
Fished up a lv 30 Poliwhirl, caught it, and traded it for Zynx the Jynx
- Intended to feed Erika's gym to Jynx, but it wouldn't obey me until i beat said Gym.
-
Erika down!
- Snuck into Silph Co., Jynx soloed my rival and
i got ADWCTA the lv 25 Lapras

-
Drowned Lt Surge
-
Giovanni is cake for Lapras
- Rival, Victory Road, Elite 3 + Bruno, Champion,
- Beat the game!
Team:
ADWCTA, lv 59 Lapras
Lategame MVP
Surf, Body Slam, Ice Beam, Hydro Pump
"His ability to tank stuff was rarely relevant because of how overleveled i was, but towards the end every big highlight was ADWCTA beating stuff that could 1-shot the others"
Highlight stats:
HP,
Sp Def
Zynx, lv 60 Jynx
Psychic, Ice Punch, Thief, Calm Mind
"Swept a lot of big battles including the start of E4, but her abysmal Defense betrayed her and left the hardest 2 battles entirely up to the others."
Highlight stats:
Sp Atk,
Speed
Merps, lv 58 Cloyster
Ice Beam, Surf,
Secret Power, Double Edge
"Secret Power was the hidden MVP, being a vital asset that let Merps carry his solo part of the adventure much better than he would have otherwise. He had a lull when the other two came to power, but had his moments lategame thanks to his awesome Defense and good(nature boosted) Speed"
Highlight stat:
Defense
