21 Shiny Swablu in the Sky
 
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!

  1. You must use a team of 6 Pokémon.
  2. The challenge ends once Rival/Red/Steven/Cynthia/Ghetsis/Iris has been defeated.
  3. No hacking Pokémon or RNGing perfect stats, but RNGing for pretty shinies is fine!
  4. You can play on any game you'd like but I suggest BW2 for diversity.
  5. Trading Pokémon is fine for all Pokémon and eggs, just make sure you're not trading them in at ridiculous levels.
  6. No room for HM Slaves in the final team, but feel free to use them until you've gathered all 6 Pokémon.
  7. Your team must be complete before reaching the E4.
  8. Final updates must be posted no later than August 31st 11:59 Central Time (GMT -6).

  1. Petilil! - Where would the queen be without her favourite subject? Not playing a game with Petilil? You have these choices instead: Jolteon, Umbreon, Blaziken, Altaria, and Luxray.
  2. A true Alabamian! - A Pokémon representing the lands of home in Alabama! What you choose is up to your discretion, however make sure that you don't choose it for an offensive reason.
  3. Crimson Tide striker! - The most important part of any football game is keeping safe, so you'll need a Pokémon with the Rock Head ability to withstand all those tackles! If your game doesn't have abilities yet, just use a Rock or Steel type of your choice.
  4. Team mascot! - The mascot is an important part of any team so you'll have to do Big Al justice by choosing a tusked Pokémon for your team! No tusked Pokemon in your region? That's okay. I have another university mascot up my sleeve. Use a bird that can put up a good fight, like a fighting gamecock.
  5. The marching musician! - This stray team member wandered away from their marching band and is now your's to train, but make sure you get their strictly Red and White uniform correct! If none of these are available to you, you're free to use a Pokemon from either the red color group or the white.
    Spoiler:
  6. A plushie Pokémon! - I have a large collection. You have to use one of mine, however you must leave it in its first stage. No evolving! You can't use the legendary plushies either. If you run into a conflict on picking one, just lemme know!
    Spoiler:
    https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BQjTtgOCEAE9GOg.jpg

    Not in picture: Mantyke, Meowth, Vaporeon, and Cobalion...not that the last two matter but I'm just showing off!

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!

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! ;)

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

Hope that you can find a shiny Altaria lol. It looks more yellow than orange, right?

I'll join in soon too, i just don't have my FC for the signup right now and i still need to beat the victory road and E4 on White 2 for my monotype before i can start :(

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.

Captain Gizmo August 1st, 2013 5:40 AM

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^^

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

Hahahaha. Brilliant. From that list, I would gather that you could use some sort of Grass type, Electric, or Flying. Republicans are represents by an elephant, which Donphan fits, unless you wanted that as your tusked Pokemon. Not sure what Pokemon would represent Christianity. :P We also have a diverse wildlife including deer, gophers, foxes, mice, raccoons, possums, crows, pigeons, falcons, and lots of different fish. Hopefully that helps on anything anyone else might be stuck on. I understand Alabama isn't really the most interesting place in the world, haha. It'd be easier to pick Pokemon if I lived in New York I guess. :P

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

I couldn't say no to the giant plushie Oshawott sitting next to me. ;o;

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!

Yeah, I'll allow Haxorus as a tusked Pokemon. I understand that there really aren't that many, so it's fine by me.

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?

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. ♥

Since AlexOzzyCake made it, I'm not sure what he wanted, but I'll allow it. I like funky moves like Leech Seed and friends. :3 So even if they match the type, if they're not doing direct damage, I'm totally fine with that.

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.

So going to Union Cave was alright, beating Team Rocket was fairly easy, and Bugsy and his Scyther was a pain, but I managed there as well! 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. ♥

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?

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.

Sydian August 2nd, 2013 9:04 PM

No...it says you can pick from my plushies, but you have to keep what you pick in its first stage.

Quote:

A plushie Pokémon! - I have a large collection. You have to use one of mine, however you must leave it in its first stage. No evolving! You can't use the legendary plushies either. If you run into a conflict on picking one, just lemme know!

After spending what seemed like an eternity in Castelia City and Route 4, I finally trained my Petilil to be strong enough to sweep Burgh. 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.

waveguidebuizel August 3rd, 2013 11:32 PM

First update! Wow, this has gotta be my derpiest run of HeartGold ever. I blame the Ultimate challenge, haha! :P At least it got better eventually. Well, I've just gotten my third badge, so there's progress. Here's the update in more detail:
Spoiler:
  • Chose the female character for the first time, out of curiosity. Also put the game in "Set" mode because I like it that way.
  • Chose The Plushie as my starter - Cyndaquil! ^-^ Named him Pelouchian (eventually). Ah, I just noticed... Blaze will be useless in this run. >_<
  • Beginning stuff, same every time. I'm surprised Ethan and Lyra are the exact same. Then again, I haven't paid much attention, so I may have missed the differences.
  • Beat Rival nobody.
  • Sprout Tower went smoothly.
  • With the help of a potion, Falkner wasn't difficult. Leer + Quick Attack was the dominant strategy, since I remembered he had Keen Eye. So the Zephyr Badge was won. ^-^

  • Got the egg from Elm's aide.
  • Oh man, Union Cave. I lost to a Hiker and his onix. Even with six SmokeScreens. Ember would've been helpful here! Next time, I just snuck past this guy and all Hikers (though I returned to face Anthony outside the cave).
  • Reached Azalea and finished the Slowpoke Well sidequest.
  • Realized that I would need an HM slave to get through Ilex Forest (at least for now). I thought maybe Paras, so I decided to search the forest. Howeeeeeeever... nobody came out of nowhere to challenge us. Derp. I watched in horror as he sent out his gastly. Quick Attack was my only damaging move! Haha, whoops. I encountered this problem in Sprout Tower, but I could run from those gastly. Now, all I could do was take his Curse in the face and wait for the end. Ehehe... maybe I'll get an HM slave elsewhere.
  • Returned to Union Cave to get a sandshrew for that purpose. And maybe it'll be helpful in taking down that gastly too, so I begin to train.
  • Buuuuut... the egg hatched! Then I thought. Hmm... maybe having just a cyndaquil for the first three gyms (and the rival battle) isn't such a good idea. Maybe this togepi can join the team as The Alabamian! Earlier, I was thinking maybe jumpluff (cotton). But nope, it's blue. Then miltank (agriculture-->cows) became my choice. And now, it's changed yet again: togetic is the team's Alabamian. My reasoning is threefold: eggs, stars, and angels. From what I've researched, eggs are quite a big part of the agricultural economy. Togepi/togetic's head reminds me of a star, and I remembered seeing a line: "stars fell on Alabama." And, I saw somewhere in this thread that Christianity is dominant in Alabama; togetic resembles an angel in my opinion, so yeah. :P And thus, Dixian joins the team.
  • We head back to New Bark to show Elm the egg, taking care of unfinished business along the way (picking up Rock Smash and teaching it to Sandshrew because I forgot, beating Hikers with Dixian's Extrasensory, etc.) Also found a Rare Candy and reluctantly used it on Pelouchian (so close to leveling up already!), as per the rules.
  • Bugsy wasn't much of a problem either. SmokeScreen, man! Scyther went down to repeated Quick Attacks, and the cocoons weren't tough. Dixian even defeated one, earning us the Hive Badge. ^-^

  • The rival battle went well. Dixian took down Gastly, and some teamwork was used to defeat Croconaw (SmokeScreen is awesome). Extrasensory also worked wonders on Zubat.
  • Got Cut and taught that to Sandshrew. Taught Headbutt to Pelouchian. Traversed the Ilex Forest.
  • Explored Goldenrod and the surrounding areas. Gave a haircut to Dixian. Entered Pelouchian in the Bug Catching Contest, just for leveling up. Also caught a scyther and won a Sun Stone. Oh yeah, Dixian also evolved.
  • Spent a bit of time at the Game Corner playing Voltorb Flip. Currently have a bit over 5,000 coins. I think I want Flamethrower.
  • Ah, the infamous Whitney! She was surprisingly the easiest gym leader so far. Two Extrasensory attacks felled Clefairy. I used Yawn on Miltank as she used Attract. Unfortunately, she's holding a Lum Berry. Quite a bit of switching going on in this battle, to get rid of infatuation, to put it to sleep, to lower its accuracy. I eventually got six SmokeScreens on it and four Leers. Two Headbutts, and it went down. After a bit of crying, we got the Plain Badge! ^-^


The team so far:

When Charles was defeated, I proceeded to Driftveil City. 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.

  6. Meowth - Only real pulshe pokémon I could stand using.


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!

Didn't think I could make it clearer. :x

So we can use Umbreon, but not Charizard, right? Plushies that are evolved can be used?

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.

Yes, plushies must stay the first form of the line. So you see an Umbreon in the picture which means that Eevee is an option. Keep in mind, I just grabbed a picture to use for reference. I didn't take that picture recently or for this challenge, and I thought it'd be better to post that than just list everything. It's cuter than a list.

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. Gen II and III players will have to stick with Togepi if they choose that.. Mantyke will have to stay Mantyke if that's chosen though, because it's only a two stage line. That make sense, everyone?

Also sorry I haven't updated the list. This is a really busy month for me, and I will get around to it in my free time before the really busy stuff happens!

  • Moved on to Dewford Town after visiting Devon Corp and got the Old Rod, which I used to catch Marcher the Krabby there.
  • Also caught Gridiron the Cubone in Granite Cave, and trained them both on some trainers I skipped around Rustboro.
  • Went to Slateport as well to fight all the trainers there, then headed back to take on Brawly.
  • After I was able to finally take down Heracross with Alabama's Leech Seed + Return, he was defeated.
  • Went back to Slateport and went through Route 110, where I defeated May, and Alabama evolved into Jumpluff!
  • Arrived in Mauville City, and after defeating most of the trainers around the city, Gridiron evolved into Marowak!
  • Took on the gym, and Gridiron was able to easily defeat Wattson with Bonemerang, although Alabama had to Leech Seed Magneton, who has the Levitate ability in this hack.
  • Went up to Route 111 and fished up Tuskie the Spheal, and starting training her on the rest of the trainers.
  • While doing so, Marcher evolved into Kingler!

After catching Aron and Axew in Mistralton Cave, I repeled my way through Chargestone Cave. 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.

Next Up: Celestial Tower and Lentimas Town

Time for my first update on my Emerald run ^^

Spoiler:
Named myself Kyouki as always.
Went through all the beginning stuff and picked Torchic as my starter.
Battled Brendan, obtained my Pokédex then headed towards Petalburg, battling my way through.
Reached Petalburg and dropped Dad a visit at the Gym, but he wouldn't fight me because I was weak so he sent me to Rustboro.
Reached Rustboro, battled the folks on Route 116 then went back to town to battle Roxanne. Took me a few tries since poor little Torchic kept getting squashed. Eventually won and had to chase a Team Aqua Grunt to Rusturf Tunnel where I also rescued Peeko.
As thanks, Mr. Brinney took me to Dewford where I got my old Rod and then rushed back to Route 102 to go Goldeen fishing. But on my way there I realized I couldn't get Roselia in Emerald unless I traded. So I put fishing on hold, caught a Taillow and headed for the PokéCenter so I can trade.
Meanwhile, I was looking for one of my Ruby/Sapphire ROMs with enough progress to let me catch a Roselia. Not finding any, I copied my April Fools Fish Challenge Ruby save file from my phone to my computer and opened another instance of the Emulator then went Roselia hunting. I wasn't happy with the first one so I decided to catch another one. This one turned out Modest so I named it Cammy, made it hold an Everstone and traded it over to my Emerald in exchange for the random Taillow.
Then I finally went Goldeen fishing and caught Cheery.
I headed back to Dewford where I went Aron hunting in the Granite Cave. Caught one, named it Hagane and grinded my Roselia for a bit as well as my Goldeen.
Eventually took on Brawly's Gym and lost miserably a few times until I finally managed to come up with something to beat him and get my second badge.
I then sailed to Slateport where I used the trainers on the beach to grind my team some then I took on that place with the Soda Pops. Proceeded to fspend all my money on Soda Pop then bought a Harbor mail and went on with my adventure.
I first raised Aron for a bit right north of Slateport then went on and battled my way to Mauville, running into my Rival on the way and making a short stop at the Trick House.
Eventually reached Mauville, battled all the trainers left and right of town then took on the Gym, winning easily.
Just as I left Mauville and battled the first couple of trainers, just north of town, Aron learned Take Down and only then I realized that my Aron's ability was Sturdy and not Rock head. So I took a quick detour to Verdanturf and bought some Nest Balls and then fast forwarded my way back to the Granite Cave where, after several soft resets, I finally caught a Rock Head Aron. I then rushed back to Mauville and decided I wasn't in the mood to re-grind my Aron so I threw it in the DayCare together with my old Aron and cycled my way about. Obtained about half a dozen eggs while running about and eventually, the new Aron had caught up with the rest of the team so I got both of them out of DayCare and then hatched all the eggs. And go figure, all the newly hatched Aron had Rock Head >.> xD So, I left my box semi-full of Aron behind and carried on with my quest. Battled my way to Fallarbor Town, then went on Route 114 where I caught a Swablu.
Not wanting to grind it, I fast forwarded back to the DayCare and left her there too until it caught up with the rest of the team. I then went on with my adventure, dealing with the Aquas and Magmas at the Falls and at Mt Chimney, then quickly made my way to Lavaridge Town where I got my 4th badge and the Go-Goggles.
Went into the Desert and battled all the trainers there, raising Roselia for a bit, then made my way to Petalburg where I took advantage of all the trainers in the Gym to grind some.
I then took on Norman, AKA Dad and won handily then obtained Surf from Wally's dad.
I then got kinda lazy and decided to save and take a break so, here I am, posting this update xD
Oh and I also decided to spread all HMs among my team members rather than use HM slaves.

Hope everyone's having fun! Just posting to say that if you didn't originally sign up for the raffle, but change your mind or obtain the means to join the raffle, feel free to VM me with your FC so that I can note it in the first post. :) Which...I need to update a lot, haha. Sorry guys. I have a math final tomorrow so most of my day will be spent studying. :P

11wildy August 6th, 2013 10:56 AM

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

On to the next city. No clue when I'm gonna trade in my Aerodactyl and Phanpy tbh. I might trade in Phanpy soon and Aerodactly after Clay. We'll see.

Update #1!!!
Spoiler:
I start the game and name myself Comet. I go through the start of the game with the Eevee egg I hatched that was traded. Standard stuff. I eventually end up in Jubilife City. I get the Poketch and Quick Claw and then defeat some chumps in to the north of Jubilife. When I go east of the city, my rival, Diamond, walks up to me and asks me to destroy him. I then heal up in the center and go to Oreburg, with Luna getting a few levels on the way. Once I get to Oreburg, this kid shows me to the gym, not that I wouldn't notice one of the biggest buildings in town. I then go to Route 207 to pick up a new team member, Sol the Ponyta. I then go mining after grinding Luna to level 16 and Sol to level 13 and get Roark to face me in the gym. Most boring match ever. It consisted of me spamming Tail Whip and Sand attack because the only damaging move available was tackle. Ugh.

No, not really. Just cause it's on a ranch doesn't mean it has anything to do with Alabama. ;( Try again. Also, you can't do ultimate unless you have no STAB on all your Pokemon, not just 4/6. That wouldn't count.

Not sure what Pokemon would represent Christianity. :P We also have a diverse wildlife including deer, gophers, foxes, mice, raccoons, possums, crows, pigeons, falcons, and lots of different fish. Hopefully that helps on anything anyone else might be stuck on. I understand Alabama isn't really the most interesting place in the world, haha. It'd be easier to pick Pokemon if I lived in New York I guess. :P

OK sorry, in that case I will use Sawsbuck (w/o STAB). Yeah I am not doing Ultimate because I want to use Walrein, I just liked the rule without STAB moves to balance out my team a little.

I'm at Castelia City catching Petilils, searching for 1 with a good nature xD

Oh and by the way I'm playing in Challange Mode xD

Sydian August 9th, 2013 9:40 AM

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!

Have fun, birds. <3 I should be back to celebrate my birthday. :3c

My husband traded me one of his shiny Aron (already hatched), and I'm just going to solo with it until I can get Petilil in Castelia City.

Also, due to Head Smash being an overpowered move (with recoil removed too), I'm not going to use it until later in the game.

I'll update again soon, and good luck to everyone else. :)

Squirrel August 9th, 2013 7:37 PM

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.

Update #2!!!
Spoiler:
Turtwig is my current HM slave. I defeated Mars and her cat Garfield. I traded myself a Buneary egg. He hatched in Eterna forest and I nicknamed him Astra. I also did some quick training in the forest with Cheryl, bringing everyone up to level 20. When I got out, Cheryl was awesome and gave me the soothe bell. Luna took the soothe bell and evolved into Umbreon, and passed it onto Astra, who will hopefully evolve soon. I then went to Eterna and defeated Gardenia and later Jupiter of Team Galactic. Umbreon with Return is MVP!

Second update! Just beat Jasmine for my sixth badge, and we're ready to take on the red gyarados.
Spoiler:
  • With the Plain Badge, I now have access to the next three party members! The Striker, a sudowoodo I named Tacklian joined the party and unlocked the way to Ecruteak.
  • At Ecruteak, I met Bill and stalked him back to his family's home in Goldenrod so he'd give me an eevee (named Favian). The plan was to evolve her into an umbreon as The Favorite.
  • We made our way over to Olivine to pick up a Good Rod. With this, we returned to the east of Ecruteak to catch a goldeen named Rhythian. She plays the role of the red-and-white Musician.
  • With five in the party, we clear off the available routes and the lighthouse, "rescue" the Kimono Girl in the dance theater, and take on the rival in Burned Tower. Also, a krabby joins us, just to use Surf for now.
  • After releasing the legendary trio, we head off into the murkiness of Ecruteak Gym. Morty was interesting. I had Rhythian go up against Gastly. Blizzard missed, and Spite depleted the rest of its PP... I think Horn Attack and Flail were the only other damaging attacks, so I had little choice but to switch (either that or he started off with Mean Look, so Rhythian had to stay in until she fainted from Curse or something). I couldn't do much with this team (cyndaquil and eevee with normal attacks; I think sudowoodo with dig, low kick, mimic, and flail), so I had no choice but to bring in the big guns--the angelic togetic Dixian. Immunity to Gengar's powerful Shadow Ball is such a boon, especially when able to retaliate with Extrasensory! So thanks to Dixian, the battle and the Fog Badge were ours. ^-^

  • Now that we can use Surf, it's time to explore. I'm pretty sure I checked every body of water I could reach, except for the one in Dark Cave, before crossing the sea to Cianwood. Great for training and item gathering. Also, Favian evolved into an umbreon!
  • Also, we have enough Oran berries! So we go cure Moomoo and buy lots of milk. Also, everyone in the party eats garbage in the stables except Dixian. I guess he's too proper for that or something. I tried not taking the garbage out of Pelouchian's mouth once, and he kinda choked on it... Poor cyndaquil, I'm so sorry! D:
  • We surfed to Cianwood, picked up the SecretPotion, and engaged in a battle with Eusine. The main worry I was thinking here was to not get trapped by Haunter's Mean Look if I can't hurt it. His Drowzee was annoying with Hypnosis/Dream Eater, though.
  • The gym battle with Chuck... hmm. How did it go again? I think I lost Favian to Primeape because I switched into Focus Punch. I was probably trying to reduce its accuracy with Sand-Attack. Not sure, but I may have had Tacklian weaken it, and Rhythian finish up. Poliwrath especially loved to spam Focus Punch, so Rhythian was able to severly damage it, even through the Hyper Potions. Rhythian eventually fainted because of repeated Surfs and Body Slams, but she did enough for Pelouchian to wrap up the battle and win the Storm Badge! ^-^

  • We returned to Olivine and gave Jasmine the medicine to cure Amphy.
  • With that, Baoba called, telling us that the Safari Zone was now open! So once again, we surfed across the sea to Cianwood and explored the cliffs. I also caught a farfetch'd in order to use Fly.
  • After speaking with Baoba, we flew back to Olivine and entered the gym to face Jasmine in battle. Favian starts off with a Confuse Ray against her magnemite, which worked nicely. I switched out for Tacklian, who gets paralyzed. Still, Dig worked wonders and resulted in a OHKO. Steelix was next and started out with Sandstorm. Low Kick didn't do as much damage as I'd hoped, though. After a turn of paralysis, I switched out for Favian again to confuse it. Favian faints in a few turns because of Iron Tail (including a crit) and sandstorm damage. Now, I decide to not go easy and bring out Dixian. Flamethrower, Flamethrower! Boom, Mineral Badge! ^-^

  • We go see Suicune outside Mt. Mortar.
  • We're currently at the shore of the Lake of Rage, staring down the red gyarados. Or, maybe not staring it down, as I don't think it's onscreen, but yeah.


The team so far:

Did quite a bit since my last update! 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. Wish me luck! ♥

After defeating Skyla, I decided to train my Zangoose in Celestial Tower. 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).

Next Up: Route 21 and Plasma Frigate


waveguidebuizel August 12th, 2013 6:39 PM

Third update! Got all eight of Johto's badges, and I'm currently about to face the Kimono Girls.
Spoiler:
  • The red gyarados wasn't too bad, I think. Tacklian (sudowoodo) walled it pretty well, if I recall. In hindsight, I should've caught it for Waterfall (especially since the ultimate rules don't allow my goldeen to learn it).
  • Did the Team Rocket stuff with Lance in Mahogany with little trouble.
  • Now, the guy isn't blocking the gym anymore for some reason. So we go in and reach Pryce. I think this was surprisingly the toughest gym battle! Dixian (togetic) took care of Seel easily, but Dewgong was quite a bit sturdier and stronger. Also, Pryce used an item. I don't really remember what happened, but three pokémon ended up gaining experience from it. Piloswine was another problem; again, three pokémon gained experience from it. In the end, I think Dixian was in the yellow, three others were in the red, and the battle-ender was still green. We didn't lose anyone, but it was the craziest battle I've had this run. And so, the Glacier Badge was aptly earned! ^-^

  • Outside the gym, Elm told us about a Rocket broadcast or something, so we get over to Goldenrod. Our infiltration of the Rocket-infested Radio Tower was somewhat ruined by a meddling nobody. I recall lots of leaving to heal at the Center. Blasted poison.
  • In the underground, we defeat that meddler. He wasn't too difficult, thanks to Dixian's strong finish.
  • Eventually, we reach the observation deck of the tower and beat Archer. He often gives me problems, but I think Favian (umbreon) was the hero here.
  • With that distraction wrapped up, we head east from Mahogany into the Ice Path. Here, we finally catch the sixth member of our team, Spirian (swinub), playing the role of The Mascot. He's at a significantly lower level than the rest of the team, so I return to pick up the Exp. Share. Also, so... many... golbat! D:<
  • We make it through to Blackthorn, and I start exploring the mountainside route south of the city, as well as Dark Cave. After a bit of training, I eventually get Spirian evolved into a piloswine, teach it AncientPower using my only Heart Scale, and evolve it once more into a mamoswine. I also realized that this game has phanpy/donphan instead of teddiursa/ursaring around this point. Aww, it would've been fun to use donphan as the mascot. I think I could've taught it Avalanche too. Oh well.
  • Back at Blackthorn Gym, we face off against Clair. She's usually my trouble gym leader in this game, but I think I did alright considering past experiences. With some healing items on both sides, Spirian defeated her gyarados. He also did a great job stalling against Kingdra! Hydro Pump missed like three or four times, and I Endured one. What luck! Also, Rock Tomb lowered its Speed, which is probably useful. After Spirian fainted, I think I had Favian come out to weaken it/confuse it/lower its accuracy. I switched out to Pelouchian (cyndaquil) to get a Defense Curl + Rollout combo going. With this, Kingdra goes down. So does her first dragonair, but not before getting off a Thunder Wave. Rollout did a good chunk of damage to her last dragonair before Pelouchian was taken out. Rhythian's Blizzard wasn't so lucky, though she survived a Thunder. The paralysis was not nice, though so I think I had Favian and/or Tacklian finish off the battle.
  • Being Clair, we don't get the badge, but we have to do stuff in the Dragon's Den first. So we do that and get the Rising Badge! ^-^ Finally!
  • With eight badges, we return to Professor Elm and pick up a Master Ball. He tells us the Kimono Girls are waiting for me in their dance theater, so... that's where I am now.

Should you not be able to? It's been so long since I played FR and I'm not following a walkthrough or anything... I am using a ROM, which said it was unaltered, and I did overwrite a previous game where I had just beaten Misty... so I don't know? If I'm not supposed to be able to get at the Farfetch'd at that point, then either something glitched or the ROM isn't actually clean.

Sydian, do you have any issues with me continuing on anyway?

(If it makes a difference, I'm just playing for fun, not prizes. I didn't end up using Farfetch'd in the battle with Misty, and I've downloaded a new ROM just in case there are alterations somewhere)

Noir August 16th, 2013 9:00 AM

Ok let's get this show on the road!

Spoiler:
- Enter weird house, promoted by Drayden's alter ego Prof. Rowan to choose a name. I had "Yellow" set up for am ultimate mono electric so yeah. Rival's called Price. I know you're here, stop hitting on british girls :p
- If I were the rival's friend IRL I would probs make him drive and have all the traffic lights turn red for 5mins just to see how he would shake up and internally explode
- Chose Chimchar. Lost the rival battle lmao. He's getting HM slaved now....
-....so I traded in an egg, which evolved into this cutie: http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/363.gif. Named him Rick for various reasons, 1. he is round and rolls a lot like a rick roll and 2. he is fat and round like Rick Ross. Hatched him with blizzard by accident, this'll come in handy!
-boring jubilife clown chasing activities. Caught this beauty: http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/406.gif. Called her Camellia.
- Camellia got to lv13 and knows mega drain.
- Poor Roark, poor poor rock type gym. However Camellia is lv18 now!
- Beat team Galactic a fair few times. I must say I love them more than I remember. They seem to just make a mockery of their job much like a clown or a disney child star going through puberty would.
- Why is lv17 Purugly a thing.
- No why is it actually, no one cares about cats in the pokemon world aaa
- Had to reset a lot and won by getting it poisoned via Camellia and spamming Super Potions.
- blah blah eternia blah blah free healing
- Camellia is lv24 why aren't you a roselia yet :|
- Here's another thing: I was legit wondering how I was going to beat Gardenia. Rick is too slow (relaxed nature!) and Camellia is...a budew.
- Did it in the end! Rick managed to beat Cherim and Turtwig with some Blizzards, before falling to Roserade. Paralyzed Roserade with budew, before getting a +6 Growth on and spamming Mega Drain. It was a 9HKO, but I won so idk.
- Tried to make my way up the Eternia Galactic HQ but I lost to the scientist w/ Kadabra because Ice Ball actually has 30% accuracy in my game.
- Went to the Old Chateau and rescued the team mascot from the tv, introducing the lead player: http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/479.gifNamed him Terry after a series of names I invented for each of Rotom's formes when they were first released.
- Stunktank was much more manageable than Purugly, Stun Spore + Confuse Ray + Ice Balls did their thing.
- Got an egg. Tried to eat it, won't hatch. Need to walk so I can my feast.
- Camellia is lv29, but it won't evolve yet asdfsffgsdfdg
- And onwards I go to get my 3rd badge!

Uh, no, you can get Ch'ding the trade-farfetch'd before you beat Misty, just head to Vermillion after you get the SS Ticket instead of heading to the Cerulean Gym.

I'm just really wondering about "No room for HM Slaves in the final team, but feel free to use them until you've gathered all 6 Pokémon."
Because while Waterfall is fine (seaking learns it by level up, so sure) and surf is strong enough to warrant teaching it... you kind of need whirlpool to get the eighth gym badge (and only the eighth badge)
So I have a choice between... what? Waiting until post-8 to get my Petlil!eevee or teaching seaking a third water attack that will be used only once?

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.

Squirrel August 18th, 2013 12:21 PM

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.


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.

Time for another update on my Emerald Run.
FINAL UPDATE

Spoiler:
After beating Dad and getting Surf, I went on with my journey and earned the rest of my badges.
I had a few more encounters with Teams Aqua and Magma and kinda chased them around until they awoken Groudon and Kyogre, causing Chaos. In the meantime, I stopped by the Safari Zone where I caught my "team mascot". Anyways, after Teams Aqua and Magma messed up, I had to go to the Sky Pillar and wake Rayquaza up so it can go clean up all the mess. After earning the last of my badges, I surfed my way to Ever Grande and entered the Victory Road where a huge training session happened. So, after I beat Wally for the Nth time and grinded my butt off in the Victory Road, I finally found the exit (yeah, I actually got lost for a while >.> ) and healed up, sold all the TMs I've been hoarding, stocked up on Full Restores and Revives and took on the E4.
I mostly abused weak points and that easily got me through to the Champion and I tried the same thing there, but I sort of underestimated the guy's Pokémon a bit >.> (as always) and the fight against the Champion turned out to be a tiny bit annoying with all the Ice Beams and Earthquakes and Sludge Bombs and Hydro Pumps, but I eventually pulled through and became the champion.
And just when I thought I was done, I remembered I had to find and beat Steven too so I rushed over to Meteor Falls and challenged him. Lost miserably quite a few times and then decided to go back to the E4 and battle them a bit more in order to level up some so I won't be as squishy. But I got bored quite fast so I went down to battle Steven once more. The battle was quite exciting, his Metagross still almost trashing my team. After a few revives, full restores, switches, more revives, more full restores, a few ice beams, petal dances, iron tails, surfs and flamethrowers, then a decent petal dance, Steven was finally defeated.
I guess this ends my challenge ^^

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. >_<
Spoiler:
  • After defeating the Kimono Girls with half the party left (I think Flareon and Vaporeon took a few of my pokémon out), we scaled the Bell Tower (I always want to call it Tin Tower >_<).
  • On the tower's roof, we summoned Ho-oh and proceeded to knock it out in a very hard-fought battle! It just didn't seem to care about its reduced accuracy!
  • We reached Victory Road. Unfortunately, we had to leave someone behind because I couldn't teach Waterfall to Rhythian, my goldeen (no STAB allowed).
  • After defeating the rival at the end of Victory Road in a somewhat difficult battle, we reached the Indigo Plateau, and can now train the entire party of six. So lots of grinding, with the main purpose of leveling Rhythian to 51 for Megahorn before evolving. Unfortunately, I pressed B out of habit during evolution, so that was delayed an extra level. >_<
  • I also participated in the Pokéathlon in order to win a Heart Scale, which I used to teach Tacklian (sudowoodo) Wood Hammer. I think I may need to come back later to win a Shiny Stone, but I don't remember if we can find one in Kanto later.
  • Finally, grinding was complete, with everyone except Rhythian at Level 50, just because I'm a bit OCD about getting levels about equal. So on to the Elite Four!
  • Will was simple. Dixian (togetic) OHKO'd his entire team with Shadow Ball, except for Slowbro. We were also lucky Jynx's Lovely Kiss missed and Slowbro used Curse.

  • Koga was really annoying. With a combination of Smokescreen, Defense Curl, and Rollout, Pelouchian (cyndaquil) took out Ariados, Forretress, and Venomoth (with the fifth turn of Rollout getting a crit on Venomoth!). Maybe if he didn't use a Full Restore on Forretress, it would've taken out Muk as well. That would've been nice. Muk was the cause of aggravation during this battle. We spammed Smokescreen and Minimize in the beginning, and eventually Smokescreen would miss all the time. I could attack with Swift, but it held Black Sludge, so I was hoping to try to reduce accuracy as much as possible. Some Toxics got through, and Antidote was immediately used. Unfortunately, Gunk Shot somehow hit twice in a row, knocking out Pelouchian. I tried to continue my strategy with Favian's (umbreon) Flash, but it was tough getting through Minimize. I got in some Tail Whips, and switched out to Tacklian who finally OHKO'd Muk with Earthquake after seven tries. We had better luck against Crobat. Tacklian just spammed Double-Edge, which worked through his two Double Teams and Full Restore. And that was the battle. Finally! Took a lot of PP.

  • Bruno was actually tough! Dixian took down Hitmontop and Hitmonchan, but I was stupid and didn't heal against Onix. A Rock Slide took him down. Bad situation because half my team is weak to Fighting. Tacklian came in, endured an Earthquake, and retaliated with a OHKO Wood Hammer. Unfortunately, Hitmonlee didn't miss with Hi Jump Kick, so I lost Tacklian there. Rhythian (now a seaking) replaced her, took a Hi Jump Kick, and countered with Return, leaving only Machamp. Return did a nice chunk of damage, but Cross Chop finished Rhythian off. I had Spirian (Mamoswine) come in and complete the battle with some Strength. Cross Chop didn't do enough damage to OHKO, so that worked. Really quick battle!

  • Karen was pretty interesting. Spirian took care of Umbreon and Houndoom (critical!), but lost to Vileplume's Petal Dance. Pelouchian came in and started setting up Smokescreens. When I felt ready, I started off a Defense Curl + Rollout combo, which worked out nicely! It finished off Vileplume, and he was able to withstand Gengar's Focus Blast and OHKO it with the fourth turn of Rollout. Murkrow was last, but Rollout unfortunately missed. Whirlwind switched out Pelouchian for Favian, who finished the battle with some uses of Secret Power. On to the Champion!

  • Ah, Lance. I think it would've been a really good battle for me if it wasn't for an untimely critical and/or a small mistake I made. Also, so much paralysis! Anyways, I started off with Favian against Gyarados, who is scarily accurate even with several Flashes stacked as well as Confuse Ray. Eventually, it stopped hitting consistently, though it took longer than I would've liked. Secret Power was also able to paralyze it. Lots of Moomoo Milks were used. Then, I took a huge risk and switched out for Pelouchian. Yep, a little cyndaquil against his Gyarados, and as he used Full Restore too. After three or four Defense Curls, Waterfall did less than 50% damage! Nice! So, I used five Defense Curls, then dug into my bag for an X Accuracy and an X Speed. I was debating with myself about using a second X Speed, but decided against it. So, I put up my sixth Defense Curl and followed up with Rollout, finishing off that Gyarados in maybe two turns? (Favian did use some Tail Whips). Aerodactyl was next. Here was my mistake--not using the second X Speed meant that Aerodactyl was still faster. Also, Rock Slide was a crit. I doubt it would've done enough damage if it wasn't a crit, seeing how much damage Gyarados's Waterfall did after only about four Defense Curls. Grah! Could've taken out Aerodactyl and whoever he sent out next! D: Well, what's done is done. Spirian came out, and Rock Tomb finished it off in two hits. Charizard also took two hits of Rock Tomb, surprisingly. Also, it used Air Slash instead of a Fire-type attack for some reason. Unfortunately, I was expecting a Full Restore at some point, so I wasted a Rock Tomb that could've been great on Dragonite. After doing a bit of damage with Strength, I think Spirian fell to a Fire Blast or something. I sent out Rhythian to blast it with Blizzard, which KO'd it. The second dragonite came out and used Safeguard as I used Agility. I was surprised that I was already faster, so that was a wasted move. Blizzard left it with like 1 HP or so, and he used Thunder Wave. I stupidly used Agility again as he used another Full Restore. I think I was fully paralyzed next turn, and Thunder did heavy damage. I couldn't really do much, but I used a useless Full Restore, as Blizzard missed next turn. Gah, I lost Rhythian while that Dragonite was at full health. Darn inaccurate Blizzard and my stupidity. Favian was my next choice because I expected Thunder Wave. Sure enough, he did use it, and Synchronize worked like a charm. Add Confuse Ray and parafusion! I love being annoying! ^-^ These last two dragonite were really quite annoying. It was basically walling/healing with Favian as he cut accuracy and defense with Flash and Tail Whip. Then Tacklian to take advantage of the lowered defense with Double-Edge. This strategy may be slow and expensive, but it gave us the victory! And so, we are the new champs! ^-^ Roll credits!

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!
