Your Hardest Challenge on D/P/Pt
 
I just wanted to see what was or is everyone's hardest challenge on Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and or Platinum. It could be anything from EV training a Pokemon, Capturing a Pokemon, Battling a Trainer or Gym Leader, or more. So what was your challenge?

My hardest challenge in Pokemon Platinum is beating Palmer the Tower Tycoon, right now I'm trying really hard to beat him but I can't even get to fight him.

Yes, Palmer is quite a pain. I wish you good luck.

I decided to shelve ALL my pokémon in platinum but my Porygon2 in an attempt for a solo run through the Elite 4...There where a few times where it almost worked out until:

*SMACKKKK!*

Diamond/Pearl: Strangely enough, the hyper contests. I had hell raising my pokemon to their best contest conditions. Urgh.

Platinum: Flint's Infernape. I was doing the whole game with only steel types so the fastest thing I had with me was my Empoleon. Thank heaven it had earthquake.

Momoko July 22nd, 2009 2:46 AM

Haha omg. Beating Fantina in pearl was soo freaking ahrd with my under levled Prinplup, staraptor and Luxio
I tried to rush throug the game teehee

Ben. July 22nd, 2009 3:01 AM

well im still doing my hardest chanllenge completeing the game XD

Leyt July 22nd, 2009 3:18 AM

The Frontier has been kicking my ass. My Pokemon are EV'd and all that, but still I can't get to the Tower Tycoon a second time. Something outrageous always has to happen. And I haven't been able to get to the Factory Head at all yet. The arcade; I hit the button at the stupidest time, paralyzing my own Pokemon, which led to my downfall. Sucks.

Ayselipera July 22nd, 2009 7:09 AM

Stupid distortion world. I got lost for a long time.

SparkuxDaichi July 22nd, 2009 7:13 AM

Um, for me in Diamond...it was nothing really. I'd played the game tons of times before so I knew it inside out. I had no problems with the gyms or the Elite 4. I haven't tried the Contests though. I might actually try to raise a team of Contest Pokemon x3

Fantomix July 22nd, 2009 8:32 AM

Platinum; the E4. Not having a clue about EV training and whatnot, I just went at them with all I had, trying again and again in an effort to beat them without having to use items. If I lost I'd gotten all the exp so I didn't mind.
...Then I just got frustrated and took in 30 revives and 30 hyper potions. 8D

duil July 22nd, 2009 9:52 AM

darach is hard i was so close to wining then came the houndoom

dark_giratina July 22nd, 2009 10:49 AM

Seeing all the pokemon in Platinum, so stupid you have got to find like 60 more.Also that book on manaphy.They've got a picture of it, but it says its never even been seen, let alone captured????

Zeoxzon July 22nd, 2009 10:52 AM

I remember I was in the tower. Then an old man trainer came. Theyre ususally the easiest to beet, but he was pretty good. He used his dusclops to sheild all my attacks. Most of my attacks were Hyper Beam, Endevor, Quick Attack, so it was annoying to cut this guy's HP. It was pretty annoying beeting this guy. The worst part: He had recover. I sent out my Empoleon. I WASTED 30 MINUTES OF MY LIFE. Then I finally Scored a good Hydro Cannon. It knocked it out. Then He sent out a roselia. I thought I could Beet it. My Empolean, Glacier was beet up pretty bad. Then all of a suddent. It used Sunny day. I used Drill peck. It cut its HP in half. Then the little thing used Solar Beam. It knocked out my Empolean. I sent out Infernape. Roselia used Solar beam AGAIN. Somehow it knocked out my Infernape, Inferno. 'THIS IS REDICULOUS" I sent out my Torterra, Terra. It weakened Terra with its Solar Beam. Terra. Used Leaf Storm. Finally, That little thing was gone. Then of all things he sends out a Charzard. I was pretty much knocked out after it used Fire Blast. DARN. For an old man he was good. I WASTED MAYBE 45 MINUTES ONLY TO LOSE TO THIS GUY? HE WAS THE LAST CHALLENGER BEFORE I GOT TO FACE PALMER FOR THE SECOND TIME.

2A4Rulez July 22nd, 2009 11:19 AM

My hardest challenge would have to be catching Giritina on Platinum. I tried seven times,but eventually I got tired of it and just threw my masterball.

★Sakuya-San★ July 22nd, 2009 12:01 PM

My hardest challenges are the Battle Hall(too many times you have to win), the E4(extremely underleveled) and battling Cyrus for the first time(underleveled)

Spectacular Hero July 22nd, 2009 12:06 PM

The Battle Factory I'm not really good at coming with the best strategy so I just pick ramdon Pokemon and cause of this I lose most of the times

Game Over1375 July 22nd, 2009 12:07 PM

My hardest challenge...

*thinks*

Got one! Ev training a level 1 Bagon all the way to a Salamence at level one hundred. I didn't even use a Rare Candy even once on him. It took several days, but I finally got the now trump card of my party.

Sebastien Loeb July 22nd, 2009 12:14 PM

The challenges most difficult in-game, I have been done against Palmer to the Battle Tower.

Damiano July 22nd, 2009 12:24 PM

Going up against Palmer in my first Diamond game. Couldn't ever beat him no matter what i tried.
Playing a new game i defeated him first time thanks to a Garchomp earthquake on his Milotic

blake910 July 22nd, 2009 12:28 PM
