Short update: caught Dialga and Palkia

Palkia was easier, as I only had to use 1 Earthquake, 1 Secret Power, 3 Fast Balls, and 2 Dusk Balls

Dialga needed about meh, we'll say 10 dusk balls after getting him to practically 0 health with a combined earthquake and thunder fang attacks. My last Pokemon had 10 health when I finally caught him with a dusk ball.

Its never to late to start this challenge. Though I think you meant Gens 1, 2, 3 unless your using Gliscor

Short update, caught Giratina. Then, I headed to Stark Mountain, arrested the old dude, challenged Volkner and Gardenia to rematches, and caught Heatran. He was pretty easy to catch, didn't do a thing to Rhydon using Crunch. Caught him in like 10 Dusk balls after failing to Paralyze him in 3 thunder fangs.

So, now I have caught all the legendaries that are good Pokemon and stay put, and I'm off to get the hard ones. Then I need 4 more prints and I am done!!!

Edit, containing my thoughts throughout the night attempting to catch these 5 pokemon: I was not aware that Pokemon can flee if they're frozen. I guess that means that on the upside, Moltres is now permafrozen with the tiniest sliver of health left. Articuno is also in red health, and Cresselia and Mesprit are in low yellow. I'm going to try and not kill them with a Psychic from Claydol.

I found Mesprit, and killed it with Psychic. So I guess its going to have to be caught in Yellow health. Cresselia was another story, and now it has the Moltres-like sliver

First "ball wiggle" was Frozen Moltres, who waggled 3 times and just had to burst out. So infuriated.

Then I got better when I CAUGHT CRESSELIA!!! 4 Pokemon left

Found Moltres again, and got a 3 wiggle but no catch. Got pissed again.

Found Zapdos and used Psychic to take him down to the Moltres sliver. Like I'm pretty sure these guys have between 1 and 10 HP left.

Decided it had been a very productive day, and called it a night.

I realized that Palmer would be impossible unless I changed my moves a bit yesterday. Claydol is faster than Milotic, but can do about 1/4 damage before Milotic uses surf to one hit Claydol. Torterra and Rhydon are both slower, and get one hit by Ice Beam and Surf, respectively. So I did a helluva ton of training. Claydol got to level 86 and learned explosion. I took off Ancient Power, which was my weakest attack. I made it back through 3 waves of trainers to Palmer. Oh yeah, I also changed around my items. I got the Focus Sash for Claydol, Torterra is holding a Miracle Seed, and Rhydon has the NeverMeltIce. So the battle began. Milotic went exactly as planned- earthquake, surf, focus sash saves me, explosion. 2 left for each trainer. He sent out Rhyperior, I sent out Torterra. Razor Leaf, Crunch, Razor Leaf. Done. Dragonite killed Torterra with Dragon Claw. Rhydon came out and didn't die, and Dragonite was one-hit with Ice Fang.

On a good streak, I looked around for some Roamers. I found the frozen, almost dead Moltres, but failed to catch it. Next up was Mesprit, who is the only one still in yellow health. Didn't catch it either. Then I found Zapdos, and caught it.

Tired of pokemon for the time being, I called it quits for the day.

Left: 3 Silver Prints (Castle, Factory, Arcade), 3 Roaming Pokemon (Moltres, Mesprit, Articuno)

Updating my challenge. So I beat Volkner and went on to the E4. Simple to win since my weakest at the time of entering was level 62.

Ohhh my. I completely forgot about this. Lol, my bf bought me PMD: EoS so I'd been obsessed with it. But yeah, I can finally start now. I'm just about to pick Pecknicks, and I'll grab a Scyther and Beldum from my Pearl/HG tomorrow or Thursday.

Alpha_Spike April 22nd, 2010 10:04 PM

Sorry guys I had to quit this challenge. Stupid bills, had to either sell my Platinum or lose my place of living >< But its still open for those who wish to do it. I just won't be able to partake in it
