I'm halfway through Kanto now, i beat all Gym Leaders before Snorlax and caught Snorlax with the Masterball to get the Leftovers. And I just noticed you need Cut to access Pewter, I ALWAYS forget that...

Team:
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7d/Spr_2c_154.gif
Sauerkraut / Meganium m Lv. 48 @ Miracle Seed
~ Body Slam
~ Earthquake
~ Razor Leaf
~ Lightscreen

Didn't change, but is more useful in Kanto than it was in Johto.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/91/Spr_2c_022.gif
Kenya / Fearow f Lv. 49 @ Amulet Coin
~ Fly
~ Swift
~ Drill Peck
~ Mud Slap

Finally a Normal/Flying type I'm using that's not going to have something like Fury Attack in its final moveset. Mainly used for Drill Pecking stuff and Flying to places, the rest is filler. Mud Slap is more for the Accuracy loss than the damage it does.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/ce/Spr_2c_125.gif
StufIUWold / Electabuzz f Lv. 52 @ Magnet
~ Fire Punch
~ Ice Punch
~ Psychic
~ Thunderbolt

This has became even more ridiculous, now it can also hit the common Poison and Fighting types. Didn't use much (only vs Misty i think) because it was so overleveled.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/0f/Spr_2c_134.gif
Vappy / Vaporeon f Lv. 51 @ Leftovers
~ Ice Beam
~ Surf
~ Sand-Attack
~ Bite

Like Electabuzz, didn't use this much recently. Ice Beam has finally replaced Aurora Beam.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/89/Spr_2c_148.gif
Wyrm / Dragonair m Lv. 49 @ Dragon Fang
~ Dragonbreath
~ Flamethrower
~ Extremespeed
~ Surf

This thing became pretty strong, can't wait to evolve it... Not sure whether i should keep Dragonbreath or replace it in favor of Outrage. (Or maybe replace ES instead?)
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/2e/Spr_2g_237.png
Phobia / Hitmontop m Lv. 48 @ Leftovers
~ Counter
~ HP Ghost
~ Dig
~ Rock Smash

With Leftovers, this got better, they work perfectly together with Dig. No Triple Kick yet.

pokecrystal451 December 21st, 2009 8:03 PM

I'm definitely gonna get in on this - but i still have a question. can i evolve my acquired onix and machop into machamp and steelix through a trade? or is that against the rules?

name - pokecrystal451
game - crystal
starter - totodile

mondays suck December 22nd, 2009 7:04 AM

Did some grinding in the Elite 4, just to evolve Dragonair, and then beat Red. This took me some attempts, Espeon always crippled my team enough to let the rest get destroyed by Snorlax.

Pikachu was always easy, even when it used Charm, Meganium still 2HKOd it with EQ. Next was always Venusaur, Fearow never had trouble with it (superior speed+Fly lols at Solarbeam without sun). Then Electabuzz 2HKOd Blastoise that most of the time set up rain in it's only turn. Then came Espeon, and it always caused me trouble. After numerous attempts I finally beat it with a combination of Meganium's Light Screen and paralysis from Body Slam, Vaporeon's Sand-Attack and iirc Dragonite finished it off with E-Speed after Meganium and Vappy had died. Against Snorlax, i first let Fearow lower it's accuracy with Mud Slap, then let Hitmontop use 1 or 2 Rock Smashs to lower its defense and then finish it off with a successful Triple Kick. His last Pokemon, Charizard, was a joke, Dragonite utterly destroyed it, even though it got burned by some attack.

Final Team:
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7d/Spr_2c_154.gif
Sauerkraut / Meganium m Lv. 54 @ Miracle Seed
~ Body Slam
~ Earthquake
~ Razor Leaf
~ Light Screen

Light Screen really saved me against Red, without it Espeon would have at least 2HKOd everything. Not too useful overall, but also not too bad.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/91/Spr_2c_022.gif
Kenya / Fearow f Lv. 56 @ Amulet Coin
~ Fly
~ Swift
~ Drill Peck
~ Mud Slap

More Exp was very cool, and nothing really liked getting Drillpecked. No core member, but still very useful.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/ce/Spr_2c_125.gif
StufIUWold / Electabuzz f Lv. 56 @ Magnet
~ Fire Punch
~ Ice Punch
~ Psychic
~ Thunderbolt

MVP throughout most parts of the game, only at the end Dragonite was stronger than this.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/0f/Spr_2c_134.gif
Vappy / Vaporeon f Lv. 55 @ Leftovers
~ Ice Beam
~ Surf
~ Sand-Attack
~ Bite

My second most valuable Pokemon, incredibly bulky (except against Espeon for some reason), but still having a massive Sp.A stat.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/e/e8/Spr_2c_149.gif
Wyrm / Dragonite m Lv. 56 @ Dragon Fang
~ Dragonbreath
~ Flamethrower
~ Extremespeed
~ Surf

Mediocre for most of the time, the strongest (and fattest) one at the end.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/2e/Spr_2g_237.png
Phobia / Hitmontop m Lv. 55 @ Leftovers
~ Triple Kick
~ HP Ghost
~ Dig
~ Rock Smash

It got pretty decent later on. Still had the worst moves of all my Pokemon, but even against stronger opponents it couldn't kill, it was always good for support with Rock Smash so Dragonair/nite, Fearow or even Meganium could finish stuff off better.

zapht December 23rd, 2009 10:40 AM

trading will be allowed. basically your allowed to have other pokemon, you just cant use em in battle unless its a pokemon you aquired from an in-game NPC. but if you evolve a pokemon from one then its still ok.

Feel like doing this again. This time I'll focus on in-game trades, so I'll start with Chikorita again, beating Bayleef or Croconaw with nothing but an Onix (maybe even a disobeying one) seems impossible to me.



Update: Started. Got Onix. Beat Falkner, despite him having Mud Slap I managed it on the first try at level 8 or 9. Skipped Sprout Tower. Got to Azalea, Onix barely survived Union Cave with 1HP and a burn. Beat Team Rocket, beat Bugsy after numerous attempts, when Onix finally didn't disobey and decided to use Rock Throw on Scyther it was an OHKO. Beat Rival, went to Goldenrod, bought an Abra, traded it for Machop.

Team:

Rocky / Onix m Lv. 26 @ /

I hope I can manage to beat Whitney before Level 30. Morty before level 30 seems unrealistic, though... At least this will be a Steelix by then.

Female Machop is...strange.

Update: Leveled Machop a bit and beat Whitney. Easy. Did Sudowoodo stuff. Arrived at Ecruteak and went looking for a Magnemite with Metal Coat. It took eternally, but I caught one. Beat rival and Morty's first underling (Foresight =D), Machop evolved. Traded [email protected] and Machoke to another savefile and back. Beat the rest of Morty's gym, quite easily. I was lucky that Gengar's Hypnosis missed against Machamp, though...

Finished this on Crystal. Went relatively quickly and easily, though Bugsy was a nightmare with Chikorita as my starter.

Final team:

Aroma/Meganium/F/56 @miracle seed
Light Screen
Synthesis
Earthquake
Giga Drain

Smiles/Dragonite/M/56 @dragon fang
Surf
Extremespeed
Outrage
Thunder Wave

Shelly/Lapras/M/55 @leftovers
Ice Beam
Surf
Confuse Ray
Body Slam

Mags/Magmar/F/56 @amulet coin
Thunderpunch
Confuse Ray
Flamethrower
Psychic

Shady/Umbreon/F/56 @leftovers
Toxic
Confuse Ray
Attract
Faint Attack

Umbreon saved me with Snorlax. I burned 8 Hyper Potions but finally wore the beast down.

Rest of the fight was really straightforward, Blastoise luckily didn't OHKO Meganium with Blizzard, and it missed twice, allowing me to 3HKO with Giga Drain. Charizard destroyed Lapras, so Magmar saved the day with Thunderpunch.

If you don't mind, add me to the completed list! :)

Will post a screen when I have the chance.
