21 Shiny Swablu in the Sky
http://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/333.gif 21 Shiny Swablu in the Sky! http://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/333.gif Welcome to 21 Orange Swablu in the Sky, the challenge dedicated to everyone's favourite Petilil Queen! This challenge was my Secret Santa gift from AlexOzzyCake so hopefully you'll like it; we expect it completed too! ;) Alex asked around and stalked my profile to find out some of my favourite things, so hopefully this challenge should be catered perfectly. To benefit the many challengers we have here on PC, the challenge has been edited by me to make sure all games are open as an option for this event. This challenge is also to commemorate my 21st birthday. Hoorah!http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen4/overworld/shiny_front/333.png Intro http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen4/overworld/shiny_front/333.png http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen4/overworld/shiny_front/333.png Rules http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen4/overworld/shiny_front/333.png
http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen4/overworld/shiny_front/333.png Your Team http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen4/overworld/shiny_front/333.png
http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen4/overworld/shiny_front/333.png Ultimate Challenge http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen4/overworld/shiny_front/333.png It's no secret that I don't like blue and orange together, so in order to complete the ultimate version of this challenge you're not allowed to use a single blue or orange colored Pokémon in your team. I also make it clear that I love strange move sets, so the other condition for the ultimate challenge is that no STAB moves can be used unless nothing else is available at the time. Egg and move tutor moves are encouraged! And since this is a challenge for my 21st birthday, which is the age you can legally drink in America, you must also immediately use any vitamins you get (including Rare Candy) and also gamble, if your game has a Game Corner. Have fun!http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen4/overworld/shiny_front/333.png Raffle! http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen4/overworld/shiny_front/333.png So what was that "something extra" I've been talking about for a while now? This challenge has a raffle! If you participate, but do not complete the challenge, you're entered in a raffle for a shiny Swablu! If you complete the challenge, you're entered for a shiny Altaria! Neat huh? I will randomly select three from the group of participants for the Swablu and one for the Altaria. By "participate" I need to see that you've actually been doing the challenge, even if you don't finish. So if you sign up for the challenge thinking that that's how you're going to get a shiny Swablu, then that just won't cut it! Also note, if you participate and complete the challenge, you're entered for both the Swablu and Altaria. If you win the Altaria (as I'll be drawing those winners first), you're removed from the Swablu raffle, since that wouldn't be fair. Basically, by completing the challenge, you get two raffle tickets. Sound good? Good! This raffle will be Gen V only so if you don't have a gen V game or no wifi for me to trade it to you, then I'm sorry. But you're still free to enjoy the event, as there is still an emblem and a fun journey that awaits you! Oh, and for the record, I'm not entered in the raffle. Because I'm RNGing the prizes, I already have both! ;)http://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/333.gif Challenges / Swablu lv. 1 http://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/334.gif (Name of your choice) / Altaria lv. 35 Statistics and move to be determined later when I have the time to RNG these bad boys!

Horray event time!!!
Name: Myrrhman Game: Blue (then Silver then Sapphire if I'm feeling up to it) Ultimate: But of course Gen V raffle: Unfortunately no raffle for me :( Kirax7 raises a good point... is Ultimate impossible in 3rd gen since we need Altaria but can't use blue Pokemon? Since you don't like blue and orange together, wouldn't it make more sense to say you can only either have a blue OR an orange Pokemon? Because lets be serious, orange and white are the best two colors in existence GBO |

On the Alabama thing: I know nothing about Alabama except a country song ~_~ Edit: After skimming the Wikipedia page, i gathered that it is a state with: Farming, Christians, Thunderstorms, Republicans and Tornadoes. |
Hey Syd, I decided to participate in your challenge. Just sitting around doing nothing will just make things worse and I will keep thinking about my problem. So I just have to do stuffs I like so I won't have to think about it :)
Also, I had a hunch that the month of August + a challenge also meant something that was related to your birthday, haha^^ Username: LilJz1234 Game: Ruby Ultimate: No, Steven is already hard enough. Gen V FC for raffle: 3139 5301 2909 |
If you're playing ultimate on gen III and can't use blue Pokemon, you can use Blaziken instead. It's red. :P idk why he put orange though cause ~technically~ there aren't orange Pokemon, but oh well. I'll reply to this more when I'm not in a rush to get to work, but I just wanted to clear that up first. ...Is Luxray black or blue? Bleh, sorry, I'll have to check after work. The good news is that I'm off for a week after this morning guys! <3

Time to post my picks! http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/548.gif Self-explanatory...I'm playing White 2, Petilil is available...so here we go! This will be the second challenge event I use one and keep it as a Petilil, actually. Woo! http://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/038.gif There's an abundance of wildlife here in Alabama, so I'm going with a fox! When I lived with my paw paw, we would put food outside for the foxes and we'd watch them from the windows. When my paw paw passed away, the fox came back up to the house even though all of the family was outside. He looked at the house as if to bid farewell to my paw paw. RNGing for shiny because I can. :) http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/142.gif I haven't used Aerodactyl since gen III, so this should be fun! I don't know how well Aerodactyl would fit into a football team, though. http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/232.gif Alabama's mascot is an elephant...this is as close to an elephant that we have in Pokemon, so naturally I'm choosing it! Like Petilil, this is the second time I've used this in an event challenge. And for the same reason, lol. I used him to represent my favorite team's mascot in last year's Challenge Bowl. http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/335.gif It's red and white and fiesty like us band kids! <3 http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/501.gif I couldn't say no to the giant plushie Oshawott sitting next to me. ;o; |
This challenge looks cool, so I'll try it. Plus, I want to be in on that shiny raffle (I love mah shinies).
Username: Samurott01 Game: Ruby Ultimate: No Gen V FC for raffle: 0476 9489 4052 I guess I should probably list my team so you know beforehand. Team: 1. Blaziken 2. Beautifly 3. Aggron 4. Donphan 5. Zangoose 6. Pikachu I picked Beautifly for the Alabamian because I really did not know what to do, and it turns out that the state insect of Alabama is the monarch butterfly, so it was good enough for me. I hope Beautifly works. I guess I'll start right away. See you in my next update! |
Username: WarriorCat
Game: White 2 Ultimate: No If I'm doing this right, this would be my team. 1(Petilil!): Petilil :) 2(A true Alabamian!): Sawsbuck 3(Crimson Tide striker!): Aggron 4(Team Mascot!): Haxorus (He is tusked, but if not allowed, then Mamoswine) 5(The Marching Musician!): Zangoose 6(A plushie Pokémon!): Zorua |
Yeah, I'll allow Haxorus as a tusked Pokemon. I understand that there really aren't that many, so it's fine by me.

Game: Ruby (Because it's yur favorite region!) Ultimate: No Gen V FC for raffle: 2237-4962-6641 Prospective team: 1. Altaria 2. Beautifly (State bug is Monarch Butterfly :D) 3. Relicanth 4. Donphan (AWWWW YEAH NEVER USED ONE!) 5. Zangoose 6. Torchic (this was incredibly hard to choose) |
Despite all the challenges I'm taking on right now, I'll have to give this a go. Sounds fun! ^-^
Username: waveguidebuizel Game: HeartGold Ultimate: Yes! Gen V FC for raffle: 4127-2835-9945 I have a question regarding Ultimate - I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I want to check first. By STAB, are you only including moves that do damage (attack bonus)? So moves like Leech Seed or whatever are fair game, no matter the user's type? |
First Update Crystal | Raven http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/4/4a/Zephyr_Badge.png/50px-Zephyr_Badge.png My sister and I settled down and watched some TV so I found it a good time to start the challenge as well! So the journey began, picking my starter as well as my first Pokemon, a Cyndaquil named Quilt. My sister picked the name (she's picking all of them) but I couldn't help but realize that it makes sense considering that he's the plushie on my team! Did all the beginning stuff and after I got the Pokeballs from the assistant went up and eventually caught my tusk Pokemon. Considering how early in the game it is of course it is none other than a Phanpy who has been named Gumball! Also while on my way to Violet City I caught my third member: a Hoppip named Berry. Did the Bellsprout Tower and then went and beat Faulkner was quite an easy task. Now I'm currently in the Union Cave heading towards the next town. ♥ http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/33/Spr_2c_187.gif Berry (Hoppip) ♂ | True Alabamian | Level 14 @ Miracle Seed Poisonpower, Synthesis, Tail Whip, Tackle http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/73/Spr_2c_231.gif Gumdrop (Phanpy) ♀ | Team Mascot | Level 12 Tackle, Growl, Defense Curl http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/b/bd/Spr_2c_155.gif Quilt (Cyndaquil) ♂ | The Plushie | Level 14 Tackle, Leef, Smokescreen, Ember |

Update #1Pokémon White Version 2 ▣ 21 Shiny Swablu in the Sky UltimateTeamhttp://media.pldh.net/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/548.gif Petilil! Petilil • ♀ • Level 25 Silk Scarf • Own Tempo Cut • Flash • Return • Frustration Progresshttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/8/85/Basic_Badge.png/70px-Basic_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/3/3e/Toxic_Badge.png/70px-Toxic_Badge.png Caught Petilil in the heart of Castelia City. Currently training it in Virbank City and eventually Castelia City so I can defeat Burgh. It won't be easy considering that a Level 20 Sewaddle can 2HKO it... After I defeat Burgh, I plan on trading my other Petilil for a Cottonee on Route 4. I'm kind of regretting my team choice because I'll be using only Petilil and Cottonee until I reach Mistralton City. P.S. Burgh's gym is amazing. |
.....Really? This challenge comes out while I am already doing one, and don't have another game to do it on? *Sigh* Oh well, good luck everyone, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

After those three things I had then made my way to Goldenrod where I beat the trainers around in the area before taking on Whitney. Like well... usual (or rather with many others) her Miltank was a pain, but at least this was Crystal and not HGSS where it has Milk Drink haha! Also between Bugsy and Whitney Berry evolved into a Skiploom! After defeating her I went and fought the Sudowoodo. Kind of wish I caught it and used it for my team since in the future it had the Rock Head ability but oh well. I'm sure Magnemite, the Pokemon I caught to be the Striker, will suffice. That said, I caught Electron the Magnemite, a Krabby who was then named Asch, and finally went and picked up the Eevee from Bill and named her Artemis. Now It's time to train the team up and hopefully evolve Artemis before taking on Morty. ♥ http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/e/e2/Spr_2c_133.gif Artemis (Eevee) ♀ | Favorite Subject | Level 20 Tackle, Tail Whip, Sand-Attack, Growl http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/2/25/Spr_2c_188.gif Berry (Skiploom) ♂ | True Alabamian | Level 24 @ Miracle Seed Leech Seed, Synthesis, Stun Spore, Headbutt http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/e/e5/Spr_2c_081.gif Electron (Magnemite) | The Striker | Level 17 Tackle, Thundershock, Supersonic, Sonicboom http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/73/Spr_2c_231.gif Gumdrop (Phanpy) ♀ | Team Mascot | Level 23 @ Quick Claw Strength, Growl, Defense Curl, Flail http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/7a/Spr_2c_098.gif Asch (Krabby) ♂ | Marching Musician | Level 21 Surf, Leer, Vicegrip, Harden http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/b/bd/Spr_2c_155.gif Quilt (Cyndaquil) ♂ | The Plushie | Level 23 @ Charcoal Quick Attack, Leer, Smokescreen, Ember |

And while I'm here: http://sprites.pokecheck.org/t/001.gif Trainer Sydian White 2 http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/8/85/Basic_Badge.png/50px-Basic_Badge.png http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/501.gif Neeko lv. 15 Torrent | Adamant [ Tackle, Tail Whip, Water Gun, Water Sport ] Had a slow start cause I really didn't feel like playing, haha. But I named myself Sydian and my rival is Klippy. He's really into keeping Pokemon safe apparently. I got my Oshawott and named him Neeko after my actual plushie...who is named after the first Oshawott I had in Black 2. So...and Oshawott named after an Oshawott who was also named after an Oshawott. Makes sense, right? Anyway, I did all the stuff and then beat Cheren, after taking a loss though. Wasn't paying much attention and had no back up, so eh. Oh well. Trading in my Vulpix soon, so things will get more interesting with two party members thankfully. Oh and...the Everstone is all the way in Driftveil. So much B pressing. :( Maybe I have a spare I can trade over with Vulpix. |
[QUOTE=Sydian;7764754]You can't evolve the plushie Pokemon, so you'll have to stick with Charmander. And if I may ask, what does Tangela have to do with Alabama?
OH, I thought you meant we could not evolve the plushie pokemon that could are not fully evolved. Like Snivy can't evolve into Servine, since there is not a servine plushie, but Umbreon was obtainable since the there was a plushie. Well, at least I haven't started, though, I have to do some reconfiguring. |
No...it says you can pick from my plushies, but you have to keep what you pick in its first stage.

When I returned to Route 4 to battle Colress, little did I know that he would be a greater challenge than Burgh. Magnemite wasn't too much of a problem, but Klink barely took any damage from Petilil's Return, and its Gear Grind was doing some major damage to Petilil. Fortunately after three or four attempts, Klink only used Charge and allowed Petilil to survive. Soon after my victory, I returned to Castelia City's Pokémon Center to withdraw my other Petilil and returned to Route 4 to trade it for a Cottonee. Next I went to Nimbasa City and successfully challenged Ingo and Emmet with the help of Rosa. After doing a little training I decided to challenge Elisa, and, surprisingly, I beat her on my first try thanks to Cottonee's PoisonPowder. Next up is a battle with a heartbreaker... His name... Charles. |

I picked Treecko as my plushie Pokemon and I gotta say, it sucks that he won't learn Leaf Blade because it's my favorite move to use in the Treecko family. I also caught my Aron & my Makuhita in the same cave so I gotta level them up together making them share the experience, bleh. I beat Roxanne very easily with Treecko and I had a lot of problem with Brawly Now I'm up against May who has the type advantage against me wither Blaziken completely owning my Treecko & Aron. I'm currently grinding so they can beat her.

After talking around, I went to the Plasma house and received a Zorua, which was PC'd soon after. I also received an Everstone from one of the citizens, which will be handy once I catch a Drifloon. After that, I did some training on Route 6 and battled every Trainer that I could find. Soon after, I remembered that I received a Sun Stone in Nimbasa City, so I used it on my Cottonee and got a Whimsicott in return. Next up was Clay's Gym, which was slightly challenging, but after spamming a few Flash attacks on Excadrill, victory was mine. Upon exiting the Gym, I was met by Clay and Hugh. After their whole conversation, I went to participate in the Driftveil Tournament and snagged an easy victory. My next stop was the drawbridge so I could catch a Ducklett that could use Surf. Currently I'm on Route 6, with the next stop being Mistralton Cave. |

Even making a team for this was annoying, so I will just use a Bulbasaur and Butterfree until I get to Mt. Moon where I will get Paras! |

Username: 11wildy Game: Crystal Ultimate: No Gen V FC for raffle: 3611-5730-8324 I still have to decide on the team, I barely know anything about Alabama... Gonna look up some stuff and decide then. As for the plushie, I will use Cyndaquil. PS: I just LOVE the Togekiss plushie<3 |
Ima sign up as soon as I figure out my team. Just want to clear something up about the Plushie.
Quote:
edit: got it, never mind. Plushies are always first stage, even if you have evolved forms. I got confused since someone had a Togetic as their Alabamian. edit2: Does Pikachu count as the "unevolved" form post Gen I? Pichu is technically the first form, although it's a baby Pokemon. |
Quote:
Baby Pokemon do not have to be used, but only if they're in a line with three stages. So if your game has Pichu, you can use Pikachu instead. You could use Pichu if you really wanted, but I'll allow Pikachu. The same will apply for using Togetic instead of Togepi, but only in games that include Togekiss (gen IV and V in that case.

My paw paw's nickname was Slick, so I thought it was appropriate for this Pokemon since I mainly chose it because I watched foxes with my paw paw. Caught him up pretty quickly, got them both to level 18, and went head first into Roxie's gym with no trouble! Now we have to go do Pokestar though. So this is gonna suck. :( |

Once I finally reached Mistralton City, I found myself talking to Professor Juniper. Skyla introduced herself during our conversation and Juniper went off to the Celestial Tower. On my way to the tower, I caught a Zangoose. I received the wonderful Lucky Egg once I caught up with Juniper in the tower. After doing some level grinding on Route 7, I evolved my Aron and Axew and challenged Skyla's Gym. With the help of Fraxure's Rock Tomb, I easily defeated Swoobat. Swanna wasn't too hard but it did knock out Fraxure. Skarmory was the stongest foe, knocking out everyone but Lairon. |

Good luck with your final!
I'm worried about my Crystal game. Its kind of lagging, especially when Bubblebeam is used. It also crashed once today and had a few minor graphical glitches. I hope I can finish the run D: I managed to play until the radio tower part, which is where I saved. The team (all at level 31): Eevee (Planning to evolve to Umbreon) -Headbutt -Quick Attack -Iron Tail -Bite Togetic (<3) -Fly -Headbutt -Metronome -Sweet Kiss Sudowoodo -Rock Slide -Low Kick -Dynamicpunch -Mimic Kingler -Strenght -Surf -Fury Cutter -Guillotine Cyndaquil (Who is pretty good still!) -Flame Wheel -Cut -Rollout -Dig After the radio tower I'll catch a Swinub to round of my team! I've literally fought a 1vs1 between Whitney's Miltank and Togepi, which took more than an hour to finish. I did win after all this time though! :D |

Hey guys! I'm going away for about a week, so I won't be able to get on and answer questions or update or any of that. I'll still be playing my challenge in my free time, but I'm not going to be getting online. So if you have a question, please double check over the rules, read other questions people have asked, or just ask in the thread and hope that an experienced challenger (preferably one that knows how I like to keep my stuff run) can help you out. If you run into any issues, don't be afraid to contact Abnegation or Razor Leaf. If they can't help you, they're both able to contact me by text so that's a plus!

Started on Pearl, the only Pokémon I've found to use so far is Piplup from the plushie section though haha. Turns out this challenge is harder than I thought! Beat Roark already and now level 15 with Piplup - he's not going to evolve though so he'll stay his cute little self for a while yet. I'm not expecting this challenge to be easy but ehh, we'll see how things go when I work out what else to add to the team haha.

First off was Morty, which was easy thanks to what I recall was Quilt and Asch. Chuck was next, easily taking him down with Gumdrop (who was then a Donphan, and Berry (who evolved into a Skiploom afterwards!). Jasmine across the sea was easy as well thanks to Berry and Leech Seed as well as Quilt. Then it was taking down Team Rocket where in the midst of all that Asch evolved into a Kingler and Electron into a Magneton. Then taking down Pryce with Electron and I believe was also thanks to Artemis and Asch. Finally, after walking around for quite a bit doing random things, I went and took down Claire with Asch, Gumdrop, and Berry! Now it's time for the trek to the elite four, where I'll probably train until I'm tired of doing so (knowing me low 40s sigh) before going and taking them on.

After a couple of wins, Zangoose leveled up and learned X-Scissor, which made the rest of the climb extremely easy. Next, I rang the bell and descended back to Mistralton City to board Skyla's airplane. After arriving in Lentimas Town, I did a quick level grind outside of Twist Mountain. It was during that time that I found out I couldn't catch a Drifloon there... The only way to catch one is by a 4% chance encounter in a Hidden Grotto on Route 13 :(. When I was done level grinding, I met up with Bianca inside Twist Mountain. Thankfully she healed my Pokés after every battle, which made traveling through Twist Mountain a breeze. After finishing up the mountain, I battled Hugh in Undella Town and pulled off a win. I got an Aggron after that battle :3 My next stop was Route 13, in failed hopes of finding a Drifloon... So I decided that I won't get Drifloon and headed south to Route 14 and Undella Bay for training. After defeating every tainer between there and Route 13, I went to Lacunosa Town and met up with Bianca and the Professor. I was given a myth lecture and soon found myself battling Zinzolin and Team Plasma with Hugh. When that was finished, I battled every trainer from Route 12 to Opelucid City, which was when I got my Haxorus. I managed to defeat Drayden on my first try (still not sure how I managed that) and scared Team Plasma out of the city when they froze it. During that time I decided to replace Drifloon with Zorua. After all of that nonsense I was told to go to Humilau City through the Marine Tube , so that's what I did (and Wailord was in there :3). |

Here's a huge update since I didn't do one for like 14 days.
I finally defeated May and arrived in Mauville City and I did a bit of grinding before facing Wattson, which I won thanks to Hariyama (Which evolved right before the fight with May). I caught Swablu & Zangoose at the same route (Just like how I caught Aron & Makuhita on the same route >.>) I named my Swablu, Boo. Since it's my girlfriend's favorite Pokemon (Just like Sydian) And I named my Zangoose, Zaochen (I don't know why). I realized how good of a physical attacker Zangoose really is with Sword Dance + Strength. I defeated Flannery, Norman & Winonah and right now I'm at Lilycove city where I went to Shoal cave to catch myself a Spheal that is level 32 and I was lucky since it's level is on par with the rest of my team. Also, Aron evolved into Lairon & Makuhita evolved into Hariyama. Badges Obtained: Spoiler:

Gotten further on Pearl whilst being driven to Belgium - have reached Snowpoint gym already but couldn't update with the awful WiFi here haha. Unfortunately I can't remember the huge majority of what happened since it was a few days ago now that I last played, but my current team consists of a Piplup (it's a pain not evolving it!), Luxray, Bastiodon, Onix (need someone to evolve him please!) and Snover (newly caught in the Snowpoint routes so haven't had much chance to use him yet; chose him as the Alabamian Pokémon as I know nothing about Alabama but all of the Google Image results returned a lot of trees!). Piplup started out wonderfully and has learnt some great moves, but he's really not great in a team full of much stronger Pokémon - the no evolving rule is tough! Luxray and Onix have both been pretty decent but nothing special, they're the main attackers of the team but are leaving a lot to be desired and Onix especially is levelling up very slowly. Bastiodon is one of the more recent additions to the team because I was stuck trying to find a tusked Pokémon, but he's decent enough. I levelled him up a lot (alongside the others) in the Iron Island and he's been performing decently, but he's certainly not the best on the team. Snover hasn't yet had a time to shine since I've only had him for two routes but he's good enough so far - the Hail is getting pretty annoying for the other team members though (not that his ability matters in the snowy routes).
I've covered Plushie, Petilil (kinda), Tusked, Footballer and Alabamian so far so I'm now going to find a Marching Band member before taking on Candice. I'll use Snover to kill things until finding the final member and hopefully it won't be too low a level (I'm expecting Seaking will probably be the final resort), so I'm thinking it'll be an Abomasnow soon which should provide some nice extra power for him. The challenge so far has been tough but I've been using a lot of things that I wouldn't have before and getting around some of the problems so far has been a lot of fun, but somewhat can't wait to get it over and done with haha. http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/0/0b/Coal_Badge.png/50px-Coal_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/8/8c/Forest_Badge.png/50px-Forest_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/2/27/Cobble_Badge.png/50px-Cobble_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/1/13/Fen_Badge.png/50px-Fen_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/2/28/Relic_Badge.png/50px-Relic_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/f/fe/Mine_Badge.png/50px-Mine_Badge.png The only problem I can remember so far has been the Steel-type gym as he's always a bit of a poop to defeat, especially given the Pokémon I've been using which are far from ideal for it (having both Onix and Bastiodon is becoming irksome!). But I made sure to over-level in Iron Island (Luxray was somehow a beast here) and it's carrying me pretty well so far so hopefully there won't be any more problems to come. A little worried about Cynthia as her Garchomp will destroy half of my Pokémon in a pinch, but we'll see! Also desperate for a Flyer now haha.

Fourth update, with the Elite Four and Champion defeated! ^-^ Beware wall of text, because the last battle's pretty detailed as it's fresh in my memory. We're about halfway through... and running out of time. I blame that Dangan Ronpa LP. >_<

The team so far: Spoiler:

So, today's update... I played a lot so, here it is:

Team so far: Spoiler:
I'm also thinking about evolving Axew, because so far, Axew wasn't very good in battles... |
More car journeys means more time to play, equalling a finished challenge! I beat Candice very easily with Luxray's Fire Fang before going through all the tedious story, ending up in a dead Palkia and a lot of melted Bronzor. His level shot up way past the others and continued to do so given Luxray's low EXP threshold and his great abilities in battle, so I put him to the side for a bit and went to Lake Acuity to grind - the area in which I found my final team member. Halfway through training I decided to start fishing and a level 24 Goldeen popped up so I instantly caught him and shoved a trumpet in his mouth. He was awfully weak and even Piplup was doing a better job than him, but after some training in Mt Coronet I managed to evolve him and he became slightly better. I wasn't happy with this team because only Luxray was proving to be reliable in battle, so I asked my brother to evolve my Onix for me which proved to be a great boost. Snover then evolved soon after and I was left with a decent team, good enough to defeat Volkner.
After taking care of the story and flirting with Cynthia, I headed up past Victory Road (my lord I hated this section) and reached the Pokémon league. Barry was easy enough to take care of and I powered through to the Pokémon Center before taking on the Elite Four. First up was Aaron - my favourite of the four - and he was taken care of easily my Luxray. His Drapion posed a slight challenge but Steelix managed to resist his Cross Poison and crush the scorpion before he could use Ice Fang, so next up was Bertha's turn. Abomasnow managed to take down her whole team with no problem at all (the only team he's ever been useful, mind you!) and Hail helped a lot until her hippo made an appearance, but the Ice and Grass moves were more than enough to take down Bertha's horrifically disadvantaged team. Flint was confusing - a Fire-type user with only two Fire-types is always an oddity but he was easy enough to take care of between Piplup and Seaking (though Piplup fainted to Infernape's Thunderpunch, oops!), and then it was Lucian. His team fell easily to a mixture of Crunches and walling from Steelix and Bastiodon, other than the wonderful Bronzong which had to be taken on by Luxray's Fire Fang, making for the second easiest battle after Bertha. Finally was Cynthia and her famous Garchomp, but the team was very easily dealt with. Luxio fell to Lucario's Earthquake, Bastiodon fell to Garchomp's Brick Break, and Milotic's Mirror Coat proved to be annoying, but Abomasnow and Seaking did a great job of taking on the rest of the team and Steelix finished it off by taking care of Milotic and winning the league. Best Pokémon - Luxray; he was by far the most useful on the team (mostly because of the move pool) and was definitely my favourite to use too. Worst Pokémon - Piplup; dear god please let me evolve these things next time. This was a great challenge to play and I'm glad to see that it turned out so well; can't wait for next time! http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/0/0b/Coal_Badge.png/50px-Coal_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/8/8c/Forest_Badge.png/50px-Forest_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/2/27/Cobble_Badge.png/50px-Cobble_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/1/13/Fen_Badge.png/50px-Fen_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/2/28/Relic_Badge.png/50px-Relic_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/f/fe/Mine_Badge.png/50px-Mine_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/0/09/Icicle_Badge.png/50px-Icicle_Badge.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/0/0c/Beacon_Badge.png/50px-Beacon_Badge.png Finished!
