Oh, I didn't think rule 3 applied to that. Heh.

Well if that works, since you can obtain a low level Leafeon, I will just do that then. Thank you.

Well I may have to use Gardevior anyways as you picked me out a team of five not six. I just found that out after I finished genning them in. Is there another pokemon you would like to give me or is Gardevoir okay?

Yes go with Gardevoir.

Update 2:

So I got the first badge. Its going slow since the grinding is real to keep all Pokemon at similar levels. My lead is spheal right now, its egg moves gave me an edge with falkner along with shinx. Lets see how the next badge goes.

-Elite four Bruno was swept by Altaria (with the help of Walrein for Onix)
-Elite four Karen was beat using Toxicrock and Weavle

Update 5:

Finished the game, beat red. It was hard as in this version of SS all of red pokemon are level 90+ hence I had to train my Pokemon to level 100 (had to do an elite four run 10 times and use about 10 rare candies).

Yesss! I Love the team! I was scared I was gonna get a bad team because I never beat Alder before, E4 rematch was to hard for me. I signed up for Expert just because of this. Hyped to use these Pokemon!

Unfortunately, this struck me at the worst possible time, so sorry if it takes a bit before the first update.

No. The completed list gets updated whenever the owner of the challenge has time.

Drackos_Flare October 16th, 2015 11:34 PM

Sorry it took so long to get started, I was busy and gathering the Pokemon and breeding took way longer then I first thought. I don't have a Action replay, so trading in eggs was the only option, which means beating the first gym. It feels a bit like cheating, but I had no other choice.

Anyway, My progress:

Man, Lenora's Gym was a huge jump in level! The trainers went from 10-11 to 17-20! My Pokemon can't keep up! Regardless, I pressed on and reached Castelia City! I'm currently leveling up a bit from the Battle Company before I fight Burgh.

Update 3

Got all 8 Badges, Beat the E4, Challenged N, and lost so bad I needed to grind my entire team 10 levels. Surprisingly, I got PokeRus! After that, I beat N using everyone except Resonance (Exploud). Ghetsis was swept mostly by Atlas (Machamp) with the help of Firebrand (Magcargo) and Cookie (Zweilous). I didn't have my camera ready, so by the time I got it, "The End" went away, and it was sent to the title screen. So this is the best I can do as proof.

This is an Expert Mode challenge, so it isn't over until defeat Alder! His team is level 75, so I'm doing the post-game quests to at least bump me up a bit before the grind to 70.

Update 4

So during my Postgame travels, I bumped into Cynthia. She was the same level as the Champion, So I used her as a test to see if I was ready. I (unsurprisingly) lost.

So after that, I captured the Sages, and made the grind to 65. It was at this point that I FINALLY got a Hydreigon. It was time to challenge the E4, but something wasn't right...
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n486/luigi400000/HNI_0058_1.jpg
There we go! Now lets do this!

Cookie (Hydreigon) easily beat Shauntal and Caitlin.
Atlas (Machamp) was able to beat Grimsley with the help of Rive (Golduck).
Everyone was needed to barely beat Marshal.

Alder was disappointingly easy, He was beat only using Atlas (Machamp) Then Rive (Golduck) had to do the final hit.

I'm really glad I got to use these Pokemon. They all turned out way better then I thought! Some more then others...

At the beginning, not counting Dragon Rage, Grove was my Best. Resonance was my worst.

Mid-Game, Atlas was my best. Resonance and Grove where my least used, but Cookie was so bad I never wanted to use him.

Post-Game, Nothing changed. Until Cookie became a Hydreigon that is. All of a sudden, my worst became my best. Sucks that I only got to use him for the E4 though.

Thank you! I actually love this team, but unfortunately I'm having a really tough Time hacking Pokemon in, and without that none of these Pokemon are available until the 6th gym.

With that, would you be willing to replace one or two (specifically Huntail, because I won't be able to get that until the VERY end) so I can still play through? For the surfer I can just use Swampert instead of Huntail, as I usually use Sceptile or Blaziken. And then if you could just swap out one more

Sure. How about Linoone for Huntail so you can still get surf and Torkal for Heracross

Since you picked my Pokemon, I'll pick yours. : )

Varys, you get to use...

Raticate
Primeape
Golbat
Flareon
Jynx
Hitmonlee

As someone who uses Flareon and Jynx quite often, I recommend you get good at the slots, or use the vs seeker on rich trainers. Ice Beam on Jynx is amazing, and Shadow Ball and Flamethrower make Flareon ridiculously strong. (Flareon is one of the best users of Shadow Ball in FR/LG due to its high attack stat, and Shadow ball being a physical move in gen III)
