Update, Terminal Challenge w/ Golem is done!

Update 5; Terminal Obssesion with Golem is completed! I kind of figured Lorelei might be a road block, but a combination of Gen 1 AI and Rock Slide pulled me through pretty easily. Also, I discovered too late that after the S.S Anne leaves port, you cannot get to the fabled truck, but seeing as...

Update 4! Erika is defeatable at the level cap, though I did use another Double-Team strat. With both at Level 29, Golem isn't gonna realistically outspeed Victrreebel, but owing to Erika's AI it can only use Sleep Powder and Razor Leaf. If the first attack misses, you can Body Slam and hope for...

So, on the one hand, this is technically not a normal Solo Challenge; it's my homebrew variant, Terminal Obsession. But said challenge, afaik, doesn't actually *negate* any part of the Solo Run, so I guess it counts too! Primary progress on it (and future runs under that madness) will mostly be...

Update 3: Misty is downed! Took quite a few tries, but the plan did eventually work out. I did have to restart the challenge too (weirdness with a PKHex update breaking the PC system being the culprit) so I can also confirm the strat is realistically repeatable. I don't expect any more major...

So, just in case I did it wrong, I tried generating a new team w/ the second link, and for some reason the algorithm seems *very* weighted to generate at least one Legendary. I hit the Generate button 30+ times before getting a team without any Legendaries! Might be something to look into...

Alrighty then! I went for Torchic rather than Latios, because having Latios, Skarmory and Regice on one team seemed... Overkill. So, with a team of Snubbull, Skarmory, Pichu, Torchic, Regice and Relicanth, I'm off! Wish me luck. Or don't.

Alright, just generated a team for you. Buen provecho! -Heatmor -Dewgong -Steelix -Walerin -Flygon -Gliscor

Update 2: currently trying for a very Hail Mary strategy of offing Misty at the level cap of 21 with Geodude. Misty has a 1/4 chance per Pokemon of using an X Defend, which means Geodude could in theory set up a Double-Team on that turn (or if the fabled 1/256 glitch happens, I suppose). Then...

Update 1 on the Red Golem run; to the best of my knowledge, TM moves are absolutely needed to beat Brock at the level cap of 14. Geodude 'naturally' only has Tackle and Defense Curl at this level, and even accounting for Tackle never missing (which it will), Brock's own Geodude only takes about...

As an addition, feel free to use my checklist for Red/Blue if those are the games you're going for! I did add a few not-strictly-needed steps (and encourage other such personalizations!), but you can feel free to use this list, as I have already scoured Bulbapedia to make it. Buen provecho...

Hallo everyone! I've had an idea for a Challenge (and/or elaborate auto-flagellation method) for a long while, and I'm finally getting around to codifying and posting it! It's an offshoot of the Solo Pokemon Challenge, but with enough changes and quirks that I feel it qualifies as a variant...
