(Real) Final Update for Flying UMC!

Final Update (#4) on White. My Flying UMC is completely done now!

Journal:

Spoiler:

• So I traveled around eastern Unova, getting all three of my birds to L71-ish, before I decided to catch a Braviary named Warmonger. I know, I should have caught it earlier, but I went the wrong way, apparently.
• Anyway, it was at L60, so it wasn't too difficult to train up.
• I then went around and beat Cheron for the last time, and then beat Morimoto in the Game Freak building, then finally beat Cynthia in Undella Town as well.
• Before challenging the Elite Four, I used Rare candies to get Hunter to L75, and the other three got to L76.
• Challenged the Elite Four and won without too much trouble, though I did have to use all four members on Shauntel and Grimsley.
• Then I challenged Alder, and barely won! Archer was my closer, getting Volcarona with one Stone Edge and Druddigon with two.

Screens:

Spoiler:

Here we've got Cheron, Morimoto, and Cynthia!

Then the Elite Four for the second time:

The order I went in this time was Shauntal, Grimsley, Marshall, and then Caitlin was last.

Champion Alder:

Play-by-play:
Hunter VS Accelgor: Me First (flew up high!), (flew up high!), Fly (miss), Fly OHKO, Accelgor fainted!
VS Vanilluxe: Rain Dance, Blizzard OHKO, Hunter fainted!
Lady VS Vanilluxe: Hurricane, Acid Armor, Hurricane, Vannilluxe fainted!
Lady grew to L77!
VS Bouffalant: Hurricane, Stone Edge (3 HP left!), Hurricane, Bouffalant fainted!
VS Escavalier: Hurricane, Iron Head, Lady fainted!
Warmonger VS Escavalier: (flew up high!), Giga Impact (miss), Fly, Escavalier fainted!
VS Volacarona: Overheat, Rock Slide (miss), Overheat, Warmonger fainted!
Archer VS Volcarona: Stone Edge OHKO, Volcarona fainted!
VS Druddigon: Stone Edge, Outrage, Stone Edge, Druddigon fainted!

Hall of Fame:

I miss the team shot they had in Gens III and IV, although the individual entries are cool.

Okay, now that that's over, I have plenty of other stuff to do...

thank you, jdthebud. So, here's my update.

Started on platinum. Picked Penguin, the piplup. Lost to my rival.. ridiculous.. No matter. Went to the lake. Saw a mysterious man! After he left, we heard the mysterious pokemon! We left to go thank prof. rowan for our pokes. Fast forward...

Got to jubilife. Met looker and gave my rival his parcel. Penguin at level 11, beats my rival with just bubble.. To long of a battle it was.. Got to the coal city, went to the coal mine, caught Train, the onix, evolved him to Steelix and trained him to 11(penguin at 17). Challenged rorark and pretty much dominated with penguin.

Done for now.. possible that ill update later tonight.

Penguin/Prinplup

Level 18

-Metal Claw
-Growl
-Bubble
-Peck


Train/Steelix

Level 13

-Tackle
-Harden
Rock Throw
-Screech

 

[myrrhman]

Right-o, I did the whole Green Gold and Booze Challenge Event thing, making sure I only used Grass types. So imma go ahead and count that as my 3rd Gen Grass segment. Looks like I'm on Sinnoh now for both Steel and Grass. Really looking forward to the Grass part; Torterra's one of my favorite 4th Gen Pokemon.

Here's the full log, sorry if some of it doesn't make sense, it was in like 3 posts.

Spoiler:

Named myself Emerald, because this will also be part of my Grass UMC, and my theme has been on RSE games, I name my character a gem that is the same color as my type.
Saved Birch w/ Treeko (Clover, missed screenie)
Defeated May
Caught Lotad (Shamrock)
Witnessed the catchation of a Ralts by Wally
Saved dude in Petalburg Woods.
Both Clover and Shamrock evolved right before I fought Roxanne.
Fought Roxanne and won!
Did Rusturf Tunnel stuff
Missed a May screenie.
Went to Dewford
Delivered Letter
Went to Slateport Bay
Went in Seashore house, won all three battles, and then spent ALL my money on Soda Pops. I know I'll need them for Wattson. I'm not going to have an attack that isn't NVE...
Backtracked for Brawly. Beat him
Delivered Goods, defeated whichever team I fought.
Fought May on the way to Mauville
Beat Wally
Beat Wattson. It was a lot easier than I thought; I only needed like 16 of my Soda Pops. I thought Shock Wave would do more to Clover...
Train train train. Overlevelling Clover for Flannery.
Hey, don't take that Meteorite! (Missed the screenie again...)

Beat Flannery with my new Sceptile.
Caught Cacnea (Ran out of actual St. Patty's names that I could think of at the moment, so had to improvise)
Beat Dad with Sceptile.
Got Surf, which I taught to Lombre.
Got Ice Beam, also to Lombre. He is now ready to do stuff before I fight Winona.
Paused for a sec to consider final Movesets.
Taught Rock Tomb to Sceptile.
Taught Strength to Lombre temporarily.
Taught Toxic to Cacnea.
Cacnea Evolved!
Got Devon Scope.
Defeated Winona, taught Sceptile Aerial Ace.
After being given an Orb, I took a quick trip to route 123 to get Giga Drain for Lombre.
Went to a class and came back. Went to Slateport to see the sub get jacked.
F'hargon learned Needle arm finally.
Did other stuff
Final two gym leaders? Puh leez.
Got to Elite Four. Searched for a couple of final TM moves.
Sydney: Easy work for Shamrock and some help from Clover
Phoebe: Sweep w/ F'hargon
Glacia: Almost w/ Shamrock, gotta love that Miracle Seed boosted Giga Drain! Walrein got lucky w/ Blizzard, so F'hargon had to finish the battle
Drake: Almost sweep w/ Clover after 6 Rare Candies were administered. Gotta love Dragon Claw! (Shamrock had to finish off Altaria though, as Salamence almost OHKO'd Clover w/ Flamethrower and Altaria fainted her w/ something.
Champ: Don't make me laugh.

Lots of screenshots (missed a few gym leaders and one evolution):

Spoiler:

Final Team Stats:

Spoiler:

Shamrock, the Lv. 50 Ludicolo @Mystic Water
154/87/89/102/121/87
Surf, Ice Beam, Brick Break (Dive or Waterfall until after I didn't need them anymore), Giga Drain (Bullet Seed or Strength when I could learn it, until I didn't need it anymore)

Clover, the Lv. 51 Sceptile @Soft Sand
148/109/81/132/101/144
Earthquake (Dig until I got EQ), Dragon Claw (Aerial Ace until Drake), Leaf Blade, Rock Tomb)

F'hargon, the Lv. 48 Cacturne @Miracle Seed
130/112/69/134/79/82
Needle Arm, Toxic, Double Team, Faint Attack

Dargon, the Lv. 26 Tropius
Fly Slave

Not really sure on who the MVP of my team was... It was definitely Clover at the beginning, but she lost usefulness as the other two got better. Would have been fine with any of them as starters. Shamrock was really useful with HM Juggling. At one point (Seafloor Cavern), she knew 3 (Dive, Surf, Strength)

Daycare is perfectly fine, and you can train him if you only fight wild Pokemon. You aren't allowed to fight trainers, though.

Update to my UMC Fire: Johto.

I've had really bad allergies lately, so my eyes twitch if I'm on my DS too long. -_-; But despite that, I got on the good ship Battler *cough* and fought my merry way across the ocean. Celebrated getting to Kanto by pummeling Lt. Surge. He paralyzed 3 of my Pokemon, but didn't really attack. :/ You'd think a Gym Leader would know better.

[Tyranit]

Okay, I just caught a rattata in route 29. It's my best option so far, and it has a good attack and okay defenses for its level. From this point on, totodile won't get any experience. He'll be an hm slave, sure, but he won't be used in battles.

[Cathar]

My Ground Ultimate is still on hold, I've just got no motivation to play through Emerald at the moment. I'm before the last gym there, but I won't be playing on for a while.

So, to have something different between one White run after another, I started a Water Ultimate and began playing on Leafgreen.

I'm now before the Grass gym with:

Buddy the Blastoise
Ligori the Gyarados
and
Jenga the Vaporeon

I solo'd with the water starter until the Pokecenter in front of Mt. Moon, where I bought the awesome Magikarp for a bargain, apparently.
Overgrinded them both and owned Misty and Surge due to being 5 levels ahead of them.
I now got my Eevee and immediately evolved him to Vaporeon, which is now owning everything with Bite. Thank Arceus that Dark is Special in Gen 3.

I'll try to update a bit more thoroughly now, but between University and playing, I'm finding it hard to go online and "waste" time updating :D

Cheers,
Peter
