October 23rd, 2015 9:07 AMHikamaruWe'll see how it goes, but yeah I was going to consider Singapore to handle Flygon as well. Hopefully STAB Grass (and of course Australia as a backup should she not make it) moves can be the easy way out.
-
October 23rd, 2015 8:22 AMPendraflareWell i'm training for him right now, and his latter two you're right about - I do plan to use Eurasia against Altaria and Pakistan for Haxorus. For Flygon (that does have Dragon Tail, i'll mention), Singapore resists Earth Power (although that hits her lower Special Defense stat) and he doesn't resist Grass because Ground/Dragon, so I plan to use her for that. With Druddigon, Slovakia can learn Acid Armor, but he has Dragon Tail to say screw you to my attempts at stalling. But here's one problem I have: Slovakia is about to learn Gunk Shot (Level 49), which would be great for her bigger Attack stat...but i'm wondering if it's worth it or not. Not only is Gunk Shot rather impractical with its 70 accuracy and 5 PP (especially in a challenge like this where I have to be mindful of PP), but I don't know what to drop for it. ThunderPunch I want to keep because i'd rather not drop a Move Tutor move, and it'd help for Marlon's Gym after. Acid Armor I like just because, Sludge Bomb is there to have extra PP, and Rest is good for restoring health.
That said, if all goes well, I should get to battling Drayden today, if not definitely tomorrow. -
October 23rd, 2015 7:29 AMHikamaruI think your plans for Drayden should be this...
Druddigon - The best one for his lead is Slovakia, because while Egypt can hit hard, it has Revenge which could easily decimate her, while Slovakia is more defensive and can take these hits well. I can't recall if she'll be slower than Druddigon but relying on STAB might help her here.
Flygon - I know that thing has Earth Power, so Pakistan and Slovakia are out, and Crunch will batter Eurasia hard, so I think it may come down to Australia throwing around STAB neutral-damage Surf here. Kinda surprised it has no Dragon moves though.
Altaria - It has Cotton Guard but Eurasia can use Power Gem to get around that, so an easy one here. Fire Blast also won't be much even without Thick Fat but that's because Eurasia can take special attacks really well. So, an easy win for Eurasia here.
Haxorus - This isn't 6th Gen so Pakistan still resists Shadow Claw, and even with Dragon Dance boosts Haxorus can't easily put a dent in Pakistan thanks to its high defense and tons of resistances. But I know you already planned that one. -
October 22nd, 2015 10:35 AMHikamaruIt was so unexpected for me to hear your games were found, but although losing the Platinum you did that scary Wedlocke on wasn't as bad considering you already have another one plus you don't want to do many challenges on it anyway.
-
October 21st, 2015 5:06 AMPendraflareHowever, this morning I found out that there was but one main series game that didn't make it: my second copy of Platinum, which I did my Wedlocke in. But i'm not really that disappointed about that one, because I do not see myself Nuzlocking that game again anytime soon. Granted, my rage since that point where I lost my Dusknoir and Rhyhorn...that has subsided, but I still don't see much reason to go back to that game. And if I really want to play it again for some reason, I could always wipe my main Platinum (even though it has a completed National Pokédex and some cool Pokémon). If it had been Black 2, however, THEN I would've been heartbroken.
But that one is still very much back in store now! I haven't played since I got my stuff back, and am still thinking about what i'm going to do against Drayden. I COULD get Ice Punch for Slovakia, but I don't want to burn 10 Red Shards for it, especially since I don't want to get rid of ThunderPunch (not only is it a Move Tutor move, but it'll be helpful in Marlon's Gym). I'm not too worried about his Haxorus, because that one is walled by Steel-types, so i'm hoping Pakistan can handle it without too many concerns. But I need to train up that and Eurasia before any of that... -

Just read this... I can't even... This is amazing... -
October 14th, 2015 8:58 AMHikamaruSince everyone is sad about the challenge likely being terminated, maybe you could come up with what happened to Clark and his Pokemon in your own context, like say he disappeared or went away to another region in chase of a legendary Pokemon. It was some difficult restrictions you were playing with in this Nuzlocke, but hopefully the new one you have in mind to "replace" this challenge will have something even better.
-
October 13th, 2015 10:26 PMHikamaruWhat's also saddening with the robbery attack is that two Pokemon on your team never got a chance to shine. Pakistan had only just evolved and I was looking forward to seeing it battle but alas it didn't, and you were looking forward to using Eurasia as well when you newly added him to the team. Poor piggy never got a chance to prove himself.
-
October 13th, 2015 11:59 AMPendraflareWell, one funny thing out of all of this is...I actually got a limited edition Xerneas/Yveltal 3DS a year ago, but never did anything with it. I had thoughts of selling it on eBay but it's sitting in my college drawers right now. If I have to use it, then I wouldn't mind that... However, the capture site where I ordered the capture board for my previous 3DS doesn't have support for the XL yet. Shelling out ~$30-40 or so for extra copies of the games isn't a huge deal to me, what I care more about is what I have on the ones that disappeared.
-
October 13th, 2015 6:53 AMHikamaruI wonder if these issues involving the loss of your 3DS and 6th Gen games means you might focus on a 4th Gen challenge for the time being, which you haven't done since that Platinum Wedlocke that went sour at a certain point.
-
October 13th, 2015 6:48 AMHikamaruGiven X/Y and OR/AS are from the current generation, you can still get fresh copies easily so good luck with getting those and the new 3DS and capture card, assuming you do have to go for the fresh start.
-
October 13th, 2015 6:30 AMPendraflareNope. Unfortunately, those disappeared too. I may call the GameStops that I go to and see if they were by any chance sold to them... And the officials at college got the incident report this morning, so again, they're looking into it.
-
October 13th, 2015 6:15 AMHikamaruThe fact you lost the 3DS means no new X/Y or OR/AS challenges for a while, do you still have your copies or not? Otherwise you could get new ones, but a new 3DS will mean new Friend Code and Friend Safari for X/Y as well. Anyways, if your save data got messed up it'll be interesting if for the new challenge you plan to attempt.
-
October 13th, 2015 4:27 AMPendraflareWell if it does mean anything, I do still have a very beat up DS Lite (which I played my Leaf Green Wedlocke on at the beginning of the year), Heart Gold, Soul Silver, another Black 2 and another White 2, and Black. And some Generation III games like Emerald. Oddly, I still have the cable that I use to link my capture 3DS to my MacBook, which also is still here...
But if I do get my games back and find out that my Black 2 save was erased or altered, then I might try something else on it instead. As I said in that thread, I contacted officials at college and they're looking into this, so right now I can only hope for the best. -
October 12th, 2015 7:53 PMHikamaruOH CRAP YOU GOT ROBBED? Guess this could be the end of your Nuzlocke career, assuming you don't get the games back, and what's bad is that they happen to be Black 2 & White 2, your faves in the series.
But also, if all fails you'll likely not have to just get new copies, but also brand new 3DS systems and a new capture card as well. The question is, will you ever plan to do a fresh start (with a new team and all) with this Nuzlocke?
And in the event if you do have to get a brand new 3DS, it'll also mean you'll have to change your Friend Safari details on X/Y and also post a new friend code in the thread with your new Safari contents as well. At least your new Friend Safari could end up being something better or worse than what you had, regardless of the type or the Pokemon in it.
