    Last Time, we saved Saffron, defeated Sabrina, and caught and raised our third team member!

    This time on Kanto: Grass Edition:
    Spoiler:


    The Team:
    Carter/Venusaur Lv.66
    -Razor Leaf
    -Earthquake
    -Sleep Powder
    -Return
    Very useful first half of the game.Earthquake was unnecessary, but overall strong team member.
    Sadie/Victreebel Lv.65
    -Razor Leaf
    -Toxic
    -Secret Power
    -Acid
    The weakest link. Just overall not very useful, partly because the move set sucks, partly because anything Sadie could do Carter could do better.
    Clio/Exeggcutor Lv.67
    -Psychic
    -Leech Seed
    -Giga Drain
    -Sleep Powder
    Quite the powerhouse. Took down most of the Elite Four, and Agatha all on her own. Having never used the Exeggcute line before, I was quite impressed.

    Onto Johto!


    i gotta ask the dumb question was ur pokemon naming influenced by The Red Pyramid?

  • i gotta ask the dumb question was ur pokemon naming influenced by The Red Pyramid?

    Yes. When I started this challenge back in May the second book, Throne of Fire, had just come out, so that was what I was reading currently, hence Venusaur's and Victreebel's names (and a Paras I caught named Bast). However, when I caught Clio the Exeggcute, I couldn't think of any related names, so I named her Clio after Clio, the muse of history.

  • You can catch your first Ghost Type after your first badge, and that's Drifloon, which you can catch during Fridays . Then after your 2nd Badge, you can get your 2nd pokemon, Gastly in the Old Chateau. I think that's all the Ghost types you can get in Diamond.

    ahh, thankyou. I wasnt aware that you could get Driftloon that early on. I am happy to go with any team that i can get. Since ill need two spots for HM slaves. Its gonna be difficult going only with Ghost but ill go for it :) hopefully ill play enough to get spritomb >_>

    so yeah,
    Starting a ghost monotype challenge on Pokemon Diamond.
    I will update when i can. Ill boost to the fist gym and get my first ghost pokemon.

    HELP!!!!!!!

    Hello, I'm sorry to say this, but there's NO WAY to beat Platinum unless I trade or hack (which I can't do anyway) or break the rules in some other way. I'll tell you why, because of Cynthia's ANNOYING TOGEKISS!! I'll list my team and, someone, please, PLEASE tell me how I can improve! Don't tell me to grind all night, I was gonna do that but I still don't think it would be enough. So please, someone help me!

    Spoiler:

    I know what you're all thinking, "That guy's team is seriously underleveled", I KNOW. I'm gonna grind. Just please give me hints on how to improve these movesets to make them somewhat respectable. K, peace!

    I'm going to (try to) do an ultimate Dark type run in Fire Red, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, and White. I'm going to use the "rules" that myrrhman suggested for when I hack in my pokemon.

    Okay, I made some comments in the quote, they are in Bold. Let me know if you have questions, feel free to VM me or reply in this thread.

    As far as how much you need to grind, L60 should be more than enough for this team, so try to find some trainers that upgrade their teams for rebattlng with the VS Seeker. you should also have some Rare Candies unless you used them already, so make sure to use those up.

    Also, if you're using a cartridge, you can get shards in the Underground. If you aren't, well...

    Good luck, and Cynthia isn't invincible, no matter how much it seems like it. Just be thankful that Tokegiss doesn't have Serene Grace!

    there is not much to say about my team, as it is practically the same as my last update. just leveled up to 75. :)

    From FireRed, to HeartGold, to Emerald, to Platinum, and now to Black. the Bug types have had helped me throughout my journey. With that, I thank you all. See you again! The Challenge was fun! :)

    Getting rid of all the galactic grunts in the area, have a feeling i have to do this to get driftloon to appear.

    caught the driftloon, nicknamed it 'Boo'. Time to box Terry. My ghost challenge starts now >:D

    definately over leveled, easily beat th grass gym.

    had to withdraw Terry to teach him cut.

    went back to the old chateau and caught a ghastly. Nicknamed it Spectre.
    Boo evolved into a drifblim

    caught another Ghastly (nicknamed it Spooks).
    Defeated the fighting gym and trained up all pokemon.
    Spooks evolved.

    Fly
    Thunder
    Ominous Wind
    Shock Wave

    Spectre (Haunter) lv.34
    Shadow Punch
    Shadow Ball
    Payback
    Night Shade

    Spooks (Haunter) lv.33
    Shadow Punch
    Payback
    Shadow Ball
    Night Shade


    UPDATE: doing this without my game for reference so i might have missed some details.

    Quite easily defeated the Ghost Gym.

    Defeated the Steel Gym, all i can say is thank god for Night Shade >_>
    Currently dealing with the team galactic stuff at the lakes.
