The Type Cycle Challenge! (REVIVED!)
 
Welcome, one and all to the Type Cycle Challenge thread! (Revived!)

The entire basis behind Pokèmon is the idea of type advantages and disadvantages. This challenge expounds on this concept of creating a team that would be equally matched against each other in their advantages and disadvantages!

NOTE: Teams in this challenge will only consist of 3 pokèmon, and these pokèmon will be chosen by a RNG! If you would like to have a team with 6 pokèmon or despise RNGs with a vengeance, well, tough luck! .-.

To begin this challenge, choose one of the following Type Cycles, as I have dubbed them, and then put that cycle's Cycle Code (CC) in your Registration Form. Some of the Cycles will include immunities to give certain types more chances to be used.

Type Cycles
Spoiler:
Fire -- Grass -- Water CC: F1
Fire -- Grass -- Ground CC: F2
Fire -- Grass -- Rock CC: F3

Grass -- Rock -- Flying CC: G2
Grass -- Rock -- Ice CC: G3

Electric -- Flying -- Ground CC: E1

Psychic -- Fighting -- Dark CC: P1

Ice -- Ground -- Rock CC: I1
Ice -- Ground -- Steel CC: I2

Fighting -- Rock -- Flying CC: Ft1
Fighting -- Normal -- Ghost CC: Ft2
Fighting -- Dark -- Ghost CC: Ft3
Fighting -- Steel -- Fairy (Gen VI Exclusive) CC: Ft4

Ground -- Rock -- Flying CC: Gd1


If I missed an Cycles, please let me know! ;)


Rules: 1.You have to catch the first pokèmon available to you that has been assigned to you as soon as possible. Until then, use your starter!
2.HM Slaves are allowed to be caught and used, but you may not bring them with you into any battles against Gym Leaders or the Elite 4!

In order to complete the challenge, you must defeat the strongest trainer in each of your respective games
Spoiler:

Hey, I have a few tips. First, you might not want to reveal the Champ for X/Y, because unlike a lot of people, some people still don't have the game. Also, you can't say you don't have a challenger, because you can include yourself. Also, I'll sign up to get you started.

Spoiler:

-Got through Rocket Hideout. Note that my Raichu and Golem are pretty overleveled at this point.
-Crushed Giovanni with Golem.
-Went back to Lavender Town for the Pokemon Tower.

I skip Erika for a while, my team has a significant weakness to Grass types.

RIVAL FIGHT #4 (Pokemon Tower)
-Raichu beats Gary pretty handily.

-Awake Snorlax in Celadon and go through Cycling Road.

-Golem finishes Giovanni with Brick Break/Earthquake.
-Now a good~10 levels above Erika, I decide to fight her now.

-[Grinding Intensifies]
-Get each to Lv.50's

-Decide to fight Sabrina now

SABRINA (Badge #6)
-Her Alakazam hits hard when it's not using stupid moves.
-Anyway, I use Golem to defeat her,

BLAINE (Badge #7)
-Never hard. Ever. Golem and Tentacruel beat his Pokemon untouched.

-Back to Veridian to fight Giovanni

GIOVANNI (Badge #8)
-Golem and Tentacruel again defeat this Gym.

RIVAL FIGHT #6 (Pokemon League 2)
-He's easy too, Raichu and Tentacruel do a lot of work.

BRUNO

WINNER

Final Final Update for my FireRed challenge. Also, I'd love a Userbar.

Spoiler:

-I finished the first quest in the Sevii Islands after beating Blaine.
-Needed the National Dex to finish the quests, so I had to catch about 50 Pokemon. Boring.
-Fighting all the trainers here on the Islands to ensure my victory over the E4 Round 2

-Went through Waterfall Cave
-Got Ruby
-Defeat Rockets at their Five Island Hideout, got Sapphire

Just wanted to say that the Sevii Islands aren't a bad postgame. Good attempt to make up for the lack of postgame in RBY. I enjoyed it somewhat.

-Brought the two jewels back to Celio, linking up Kanto and Hoenn. Now for the rematch.

LORELEI
-I noticed that she packed a Piloswine this time, so Raichu can't sweep again.
However, Raichu took care of everything else.

BRUNO
-Tentacruel solo'd this one. Resists Fighting and and those Onix's.

AGATHA
-Actually pretty hard. Her Gengars outspeed all three of my Pokemon.
-Thunder Wave was useful as ever here, I even got her Gengars to be unable to attack a few times.

LANCE
-Raichu to the Gyarados, Tentacruel to the Dragons. He has a Kingdra now, which was a bit hard to defeat with Raichu and Tentacruel.

CHAMPION GARY
-Send in Raichu expecting Pidgeot. Nope, Heracross.
-Earthquake was a massive pain this fight! All three of my Pokemon are weak to Ground.
-His Exeggutor was tough too. Psychic'd my Tenta and Giga Drained my Golem.
-I used no less than 20 Revives and Full Restores fighting the E4 and Champ.

My strategy was just timing when to Revive what Pokemon, and hoping his Pokemon used a move that mine can survive. Then, I Restored and Revived the others.

Completely out of Revives, My Raichu had 3 Pokemon left to beat.

-Blastoise. Tough moves, but I could beat it.
-Alakazam. Survived a Psychic and I got a Crit.
-Tyranitar. Lucky as ever right here! Thunder Wave'd and got TTar to flinch every time. Thunderbolt for the win!

Tough set of fights right there. My Pokemon's weaknesses were pinpointed by almost all of the Elite Four and Gary's Pokemon.


Final Info:

Colorado(Golem) Lv.77 Naive nature
Earthquake/Rock Blast/Brick Break/ Strength

Zap (Raichu) Lv.77 Hardy nature
Thunderbolt/Thunder Wave/ Strength/Iron Tail

Jelly (Tentacruel) Lv.77 Gentle nature
Toxic/Giga Drain/Surf/ Ice Beam

Thanks for reading! This chalenge was pretty fun.

Unfortunately my file became corrupted. So I must forfeit my challenge.

-Spectra- January 13th, 2014 12:27 AM

I did this by "accident" on my most recent Black playthrough. And I have to say, it was waaay more fun than my original run in which I had to box my underwhelming Servine which made me feel somewhat detached from the rest of my team due to the loss of the Pokemon you're meant to have the strongest bond with...

Anyway, I used the Fire - Ground - Grass core of Emboar, Excadrill & Lilligant and it was intense! Didn't even realize the core until stumbling upon this thread.

Having less Pokemon allowed me to focus more, strengthening the bond between me and my Pokemon :3. Lol.

All in all, it was a great run. And seeing this thread, I may just take up the "Type Cycle Challenge" again. But 1 question... If I were to "continue", would Unova be counted towards an Ultimate FGG Run for me if I so wish it?

SnailCandy January 16th, 2014 7:38 PM

@Zflyer: Screenshots/Photos ARE optional; however, updates are required, but they can be broken up however you want. You could, in theory, post your entire run in a single update, but that would just be a hassle for everybody. I just need something to tell me how things are going in the challenge. Anyway, here's your team!

Blazikenhttp://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen3/rusa_action/257.gif

@Flame999: I apologize for any confusion, but an Ultimate Challenge must be through the first 5 Gens (6th is optional) with the same cycle. You can do each of the ones you listed as separate runs, but you would need to stick to one run at a time.

@BonBur: Here's your first team!

@-Spectra-: I don't see a problem with it! It would be appreciated if you were to do the rest of the games in order, though. :/ So, fill out a form and I can have your name up with the rest in no time!

Best of luck to all of you!!! ^_^

Do HM slaves need to be legitimate? I was just curious if I could hack a Krabby in for Cut/Surf/Strength

That's fine. I'd actually prefer it to keep everything neat and tidy! ^_^

Zflyer January 22nd, 2014 7:22 AM

I apologize for the first update being so late, I've been away on vacation and couldn't start the challenge. However, without further ado...

Update
-Woke up in the back of a truck
-After saving George Garcia from a Zigzagoon, received Strider the Torchic (named for those long-ass legs Blaziken has)
-Lost to my rival 3 TIMES (crit hax for days)
-Helped some kid named catch a Ralts even though he could CLEARLY do it himself
-Trudged through the Petalburg Woods, made much easier by the addition of Ember
-Grinded until Strider evolved into Combusken, allowing him to DOUBLE KICK ROXANNE'S ENTIRE GYM
-Saved Peeko from a Aqua grunt who I suddenly realized looks like a pirate, and then hitched a ride to Dewford
-Stumbled through Granite Cave in the dark
-Bumped into a lot of things
-Pecked my way through all of Brawly's gym, getting up to level 23 in the process
-Sailed to Slateport and stopped some more pirates from stealing stuff from the ocean scientist who's name I cannot recall
-Accidentally replaced Ember with Bulk Up because I no smart
-Regret previous mistake deeply
-Advanced to Cycling Road and eventually Mauville, where I crush that one kid's Ralts into pulp
-Fought everyone in and around Mauville until...
-Strider evolved into a Blaziken, gaining Blaze Kick and looking hella awesome
-This is starting to feel like a solo run...

Team
Blaziken Lv. 36
-Blaze Kick
-Double Kick
-Peck
-Bulk Up

So thats it for now, my next step will be to suffer through the hardest gym EVER and hopefully not die too much, my next update will probably be later today and hopefully will be a lot shorter
By the way, does anyone know how to put sprites in the text? Like is it copied and pasted or linked or something?

You have to click the button that says 'Go Advance'. Once there, there will be a button that says Insert Image. Use that.
