Oh no, its Attack is pathetic. :P I always taught it Mega Punch because it seemed slightly less useless that way, though. XD And that way if something big KOed my main attacker but had only a few HP left, I could at least use Abra's speed to swoop in and finish it for a big exp. bonus.
Not that that happens very often in practice unless you try to.

Okay, last update before E4 ;)

Spoiler:

I really enjoy my bug team, as bugs are my favourite Pokemons ;) But I know, that without good levels, I'll fail with Elite Four. I've had 8 Rare Candies - it was helpful, but later. First Fairy and Nightmare, as they've Psybeam&Solarbeam / Psybeam&Psychic. I've trained both in Victory Road to 60th levels. Sounds great ;) But there are still 3 Pokemons. They was raised in Pokemon Mansion, where Angus and Sabreman reached 58 lvls, Harry 57lvl. Two RC for Angus and Sabreman, three for Harry. Sounds great ;) Now, with all-60's I've good team for Elite Four, I believe. I'm still thinking about grinding for Fairy and Nightmare to 63-65 lvl, 'cause it's possible to do in Victory Road. But I would like to face Elite Mafia, soo...hmm. Hmmm...hmmm...

See you in last update ;)



EDIT:

Okay, I started a epic battle with Elite Four ;) I tried to record it with GBA, but something went wrong and I've recorded only battle with Lorelei, in size 160x144 also :/ Anyway, if somebody wants I can upload it somewhere ;)

I didn't do any screens, because I thought that I'm still recording that. Damn :/ Only Hall Of Fame screenshots, to prove my victory ;) And short description also (WARNING: It's so long xD)

Spoiler:


Lorelei:
Oui, she was so tough. When Lapras fainted Fairy, and I've had only Harry and Nightmare, I was scared a little. But Harry managed to knock Lapras down, and I was still in the game. Also Lorelei was tough for me, because you know, she has Ice pokemons.

Bruno:
Nightmare was a real nightmare for Bruno ;) Psychics, Psychics, Psychics, at least Machamp was down after Fairy Psybeams ;) Bruno just had bad luck, 'cause I had Fairy and Nightmare, not he :D

Agatha:
Old Dark Lady wanted to stop me...not this time. Yeah, with problems, but at last, Gengar vs Nightmare and uberpowerfull Psychics = Agatha drowned. Harry was fainted, but he knocked out first Gengar and seriously damaged Golbat. Now to Lance

Lance:
Lance was strong, but not as hard as Lorelei for me. Sabreman defeated Gyarados and one Dragonair, second Dragonair was punched by Angus, Aerodactyl was tough, but Fairy's Psybeams took him down, and last battle Dragonite vs. Nightmare - Sleep Powder, Psychics, I wo...Hyper Potion. >.< But Dragonite wasn't wake up, and lost some Special during attacks too - last was Psybeam and it made my way to Roman ;)

Roman:
Tough, si. Maybe a little harder than Lance. Pidgeot blacked out by 2 Sabreman critical Slashes (he always have criticals, Slash FTW ;D). Alakazam was harshly damaged by Harry. Harry was defeated with Psybeams, but Sabreman managed to defeat Master Of Spoons. Next Rhydon - and Solarbeam KOd Rhydon here. But against Gyarados it wasn't so good. Anyway, Fairy used Sleep Powder, then Solarbeams, Solarbeams, and only Charizard in the Roman's party. As always, I used Nightmare. As always, Nightmare destroyed his rival and made me Pokemon League Champion, and helped me to finish the challenge ;)

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/3713/finalzq.png

Sth about my team now (Really big update) :D. I love my team ;)

Sabreman[Scyther] - a lot of criticals with Slash attacks - and I really like his "critical" style ;) I'm really happy 2 have Sabreman in team, but if he could have one cool bug attack - I would be even more happier than now. Much more happier, because he will be ultimate killer ;DD

Angus[Parasect] - He's really big and scary ;D I like his Spore'n'Slash style, it's kinda other than Scyther. If you can't avoid massive Spore attack - you will die soon man ;) I feel a lot of defensiveness here, but it's important for team too ;)

Harry[Beedrill] - Harry's offensive contains two phases. First phase is focusing of energy. Then, unleash it with Twineedle! That's how Harry does. He was fainted at League Battles twice, but...it isn't change nothin'. Still H.A.R.R.Y, if you know what I mean ;) I really like his long HP bar ;D If Harry survive something, rival won't :D

Fairy[Butterfree] - from the beginning, Fairy was opposite to Nightmare (as we see, Fairytale =/ Nightmare). I guess that I've should name him Fairytale ;) It would sounds even greater :D Confusion from 12th level is really cool, we know, but only Solarbeam&Psybeam made me Champion ;) Pokemon based on beams, that's what I want :D I always imagine Butterfree as "Master Of Fairness", you know what I mean. And it's complete opposite to my last Pokemon, my hero, my favourite Pokemon all-time, and that is...

Nightmare[Venomoth] - Nightmare, of course. He is "Master Of Darkness" for me. You will die soon, if you meet Nightmare somewhere. I love everything in Venomoth, except...sprite in 1st generation ;( In next gens it's a lot of better with this :D I guess Venomoth is my favourite Pokemon, I've him in almost every teams, and that's also why I decided to pick bug Pokemons. Venomoth is just the best, and you must agree with it. Psybeam&Psychic = ...eee...equals nothing, because there will be nothing left from you ;)


And now I can tell that my bug challenge is over! :D But I would really like to do this in other generations too. With the same Pokemons? Why not, I love my Bugs ^^'


Yeah, I can say that's the end ;D Save will be hidden somewhere, maybe I'll play sometimes. Now, I must complete another challenges ;)

See you around ;)

Snorlax is a slow grower, but it's tough ... and you can teach it Surf if you want. :P

I've always preferred Tauros because slow Pokemon bug me, but Snorlax is easier to catch without cheating.

Alright, here we go. I decided it would be quicker and easier to do it just by images, with occasional comments by the side.

So, due to the BSoD, I'll just speed through everything to get to where I was. And then... IT CONTINUES.

Below is a youtube videoclip of the epic battle between me and Blu which I lost because his gyarados hit me with hydropump through six stacks of evasion!!!!! it worked on lance's gyarados, not his though :\. I started the elite four with nidoking and nidoqueen my only two level 42's, and everyone else 41 or under. I think I'll easily have this if I can find out a way to defeat gyarados a easier way. also dewgong, jynx, and basically everyone from Lorei was incredibly tough

!CHALLANGE DONE!
...............GROUND..............

the only way i was going to beat the elite four was if i leveled up my nidoking and nidoqueen enough so that they could use thunder/thunderbolt faster than lance's and my rival's gyarydos' hydro pump. that was really the only major problem i had(other than lorei's jynx, which i ended up having to get 6 stacks of evasion on my marowak for when jynx was up) and the rest was fairly easy. i went into the battles with 1 max potion, 5 revives. i ended up using the potion on hitmonlee(my nidoqueen's earthquake didnt KO) as well as one revive(dragonair killed my marowak with a nasty slam) but used a few more verus my rival since victory was imminent with a nice explosive way to end it all.
