The Non-Evolver Challenge (R/S/E)
 
Well, after playing through R/S/E several times with barely used pokemon, I realized most of them were pokemon that did not evolve. Then, I came to Pokecommunity and saw all the challenge threads. My challenge to you is to make a team of non evolvers and play through the game.
Also note, if you participate, update periodically, whether it's just editing your post or detailing your progress. Whichever suits you best.

Q: What is a non evolver?
A: A pokemon that has no evolutionary line, such as minun. No, you cannot just give a pokemon an everstone. If it has potential to evolve, (in this generation) it cannot be used.

Q: Legendaries can't evolve, so why can't I use them?
A: It wouldn't be much of a challenge if you could use all legends. Plus, you get most of those late ingame anyway.

Here's a list of pokemon you can use:
Nosepass
Sableye
Mawile
Volbeat
Illumise
Roselia
Torkoal
Spinda
Skarmory
Zangoose
Seviper
Lunatone
Solrock
Castform
Kecleon
Tropius
Chimecho
Absol
Girafarig
Pinsir
Heracross
Relicanth
Corsola
Luvdisc

If you'd like to try it out, just post a reply in a similar format to the following:
Name:
Team:

Participants:
Name: Groudon
Team: Minun - Torkoal - Roselia - Sableye - Mawile - Absol

Name - BRAE
Team: Skarmory, Solrock, Absol, Castform, Nosepass, and Torkoal.

Name-MoonlightKnight
Team: Roselia, Luvdisc, Corsola, Solrock, Lunatone,and Skarmory

If you think it's a bad idea, please don't flame. I'm just tossing the idea out there for anyone who wants to try it. (I've used most of these pokemon in teams :) )

so what about our actual starter?
or do we box it away as soon as we catch one in the list?

You can use it until you catch one of the pokemon on the list. If you don't get it until mauville, let's say, then you can use whatever pokemon until then.

Kucheat September 9th, 2008 2:34 PM

The first ones you can get are Mawile in Ruby and Sableye in Sapphire. Both are in Granite Cave in Dewford Town.

sdfs September 9th, 2008 2:50 PM

Yeah, but if you don't want to use them in your party, you could have to wait longer. (For example, take a team of seviper, minun, tropius, chimecho, skarmory and relicanth. The first pokemon you could get would be minun, so you could use whatever you needed to get by until then.)

well i believe that in emerald, a sableye could be found at the granite cave but its kinda rare... but still... i think the easiest way to beat this challenge is to trade w/ other.....

sdfs September 9th, 2008 4:20 PM

Yeah, trading could help (potentially), but you don't have to at all. Most of these pokemon can be organized in a way that they'll all be on one cartridge.

Braeden23000 September 9th, 2008 4:36 PM

Eh sounds like fun!

Name - BRAE
Pokemons - Skarmory, Solrock, Absol, Castform, Nosepass, and Torkoal.

Note : I have never ever even caught or used these pokemon before except skarmory as a Fly HM slave, and of course castform, but i havent trained or fought either of them. this is why i picked them.

Good luck :D I'm glad you're trying this. It was made for people who didn't use them. Thank you and have fun ^^

Braeden23000 September 9th, 2008 4:46 PM

Well i started and i picked mudkip. (its female so i can breed it when i beat the challange :D) I am in odale town now.

UPDATE - I beat roxanne with water gun and nosepass evolved my mudkip. I cant get any pf my pokemon until after mauville when i can use rock smash to get nosepass...

UPDATE - I caught my first pokemon besides my starter, nincanda for cut and flash. I skipped the second rival fight.

UPDATE - 3rd rival fight is hard since grovyle does 4x dmg with absorb.

Good luck, and have fun ^^ I actually might participate in this as soon as I finish my monotype challenge ^_^;

Braeden23000 September 10th, 2008 3:13 PM

Ugh, still training marshtomp for grovyle, im too lazy to train another pokemon. I am level 24.

UPDATED - Woot, i love mud-slap, i could take 3 asorbs before i got KOed so i kept mud slapping it and healing until it rarely hit then i tackled it 4 times and KOed him.

Hmm....If you can't beat her, I recommend a taillow. It seems to level at a decent rate, and once it learns peck or wing attack, you could probably ko her easily, plus afterwards you can keep it for an hm slave.

Loud and Annoying Pidgey September 10th, 2008 3:32 PM

I Have Only Beat Brawly And My Combuskin(Groudon) Is Already Level 21. >.<

Just quoted myself as i forgot to refresh to notice your post before my edit. Well wattson was surprisingly hard. His manetric did a lot of damage after using howl 4 times. I still beat him though, now im off to get nosepass...

Congrats on beating him, at least Mr. Briney will still take you from place to place at that point too :)

Braeden23000 September 10th, 2008 3:47 PM

I got nosepass, i had to rock smash every rock in the dewford cave 3 times before i found him and i was lucky not to get a geodude. Its female so it will be easy to get a better nosepass. If im thinking correctly, torkal is next?

EDIT - Doh, forgot to fight brawly, oh well ill go back once i get fly...

EDIT - Well heres my nosepass current stats.
lvl 13 Nosepass
Ability - Magnet Pull
Moves -
Rock Tomb
Harden
Rock Throw
Shock Wave
