The Random Challenge is our new Spotlighted Challenge for the summer this year, from today until the end of August!

Sorry, I already let the cat outside a few minutes ago. I'm going to join Team Magma and expand the land!

To fit the RNG theme, I'll list four card game video games I want to try. Let's see which one I draw in my opening hand. Pokemon Trading Card Game (GBC) Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales (i.e. Single Player Gwent) Slay the Spire The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game

In that case, swap Dragonite's Flamethrower out for Thunderbolt for the first run of the League (but not the Rematch). You'll have trouble fighting Steel-types, but the only ones you'll have to worry about before the postgame are the Magneton line, and nobody uses them past Viridian Gym. Swap...

You can buy extra copies of Brick Break and Secret Power from the Celadon Dept. Store. Brick Break goes good on anything with a decent Attack stat, and Secret Power's preferable to Slash on most terrains (especially a 30% Paralysis chance in buildings and generic terrain, which are where all the...

As an idea for how to fit Giratina, since it's so big, have it peek its head out from behind the building, above one of the corners of the roof, with one of its wings off to the side.

I highly doubt it for either. Both occurred 3,000 years prior to the modern games, which, assuming a similar pace of technological development to the real world, would put them both in the Bronze Age. The trailer we were shown was significantly more advanced than that. I'd personally expect...

I'd farm for it in the background, since there's 21 trees and if you apply Honey to all of them that you have access to, it should get you a female Burmy pretty quick. Though keep in mind you need a female Burmy because male Burmy evolves into the non-Grass Mothim. (Also, should get lucky...

Route 119 in Hoenn is my personal favorite route. A beautiful rainforest, multiple distinct areas with the Mimic Circle long grass at the bottom (the very first long grass in the series, in fact), where you gradually climb up hills across a giant river in the middle of the route with waterfalls...

Personally, I don't like to delay evolutions at all, unless the pre-evo in question learns moves that the evolution can't, and those moves are things I actually want to use. The stat boosts are too good to pass up. (Assuming the move is learned at a level I'll actually get to, of course. No...

Just make sure your Dragonite evolves before you fight the League, and you'll be fine. My own Dragonite in Red evolved just before Victory Road. As for Aerodactyl, I'd get the EXP share from Route 15 if reasonably possible, or just grind via switch-outs if not, but either way it'd be best to...

I might not have played a Flying monotype in Gen 3 Kanto, but I've played one in Gen 1. I've used Dragonite and it's quite good, and it gets even better in Gen 3 from the expanded movepool, but you realistically won't have it evolved until around Victory Road. Charizard and Gyarados are both...

I understand. I've rewritten the friendship-related rules to clarify the point about Sandwiches, so I'll go ahead and grandfather your run back into Standard Mode since the friendship bonuses didn't affect your run too much. I highly recommend that you use some herbal medicine to get your...

Specifically SwSh and SV only, since friendship gives game-breaking bonuses for high scores in these games, and it's impossible to raise friendship in either game to the point where Pokemon get these bonuses without using picnics, friendship berries, or Pokemon Camp. LG:PE and BDSP are both...
