Oooooh, we have two Ultimate Challengers in here, huh? You guys better not let me down. And Enigmaeffect if you want to play that way with Red I guess i'll allow it.

As for me?

Heart Gold Wedlocke - Update #1

Spoiler:
So I started the game, named myself Alex and my rival Silver. My ID No. was 42810, meaning I got my choice of starter. I picked Cyndaquil and named it Bagpipes. My naming theme is musical instruments.

Encounters:
Route 29: A female Sentret named Accordion who was immediately paired with Bagpipes.
Route 46: A male Spearow named Horn.
Route 30: A female Pidgey named Xylophone who was immediately paired with Horn.
Dark Cave: A female Geodude named Steelpan.
Route 31: A male Caterpie named Handbell who was immediately paired with Steelpan.
Route 32: A female Rattata named Recorder.
Sprout Tower: A male Gastly named Organ.

After some training and getting some evolutions, Falkner was easy. Steelpan used Rock Throw on both his Pokémon, and his Pidgeotto didn't use Roost.

Union Cave: A female Sandshrew named Trombone.
Route 33: A female Zubat named Clapsticks.
Ilex Forest: A female Oddish named Alboka.
I skipped Slowpoke's Well (read: used Repels there) so I could come back once I had Surf. I got Team Rocket out of there pretty easily.

Bugsy was a joke too. Scyther was downed in one Rock Throw from Steelpan, then it hit Metapod hard and I brought in Handbell to kill it and Kakuna.

Silver was also anticlimactic. Handbell paralyzed his Croconaw and all he did was use Scary Face, and by the time he was attacking it was too late. Steelpan beat his other two steadily. Then I got Pokérus, which was crazy. But with that I went through Ilex Forest.

Route 34: A male Drowzee named Tuba.

Afterward, I arrived in Goldenrod City and left it off there.

So here's my team:

Deaths:
Spoiler:
None yet! :)

That's where I am right now, so hopefully you guys will be faster in replying! I'll update in a minute.

Been wanting to try this for a while, but never got around to completing it. Hopefully this will be a better go at it!

Name: Chevitile
Game: LeafGreen
Ultimate or Single?: Single for now, but will most likely make it an ultimate in the future.
Any optional rules?: None

Pendraflare June 17th, 2014 9:08 AM

Since he said he'll probably update soon, i'll do another update.

Heart Gold Wedlocke - Update #2

Spoiler:
While I was training, I found out I had Pokérus! Which was pretty cool if I say so myself. Then I had to fight Silver. His Croconaw was the only thing of any importance, and all he did was use Scary Face and get fully paralyzed from Handbell, until his Bite didn't do very much at all. Steelpan beat his other two easily.

Then I went through the Ilex Forest into Route 34.

Encounters:
Route 34 - A male Drowzee named Tuba.
Route 35 - A female Nidoran named Triangle.
Bug-Catching Contest - A female Weedle, which I killed on purpose.
Route 36 - A male Growlithe named Bassoon.

I spent time at the Game Corner to get lots of coins, and I got a Flamethrower TM for Bagpipes which I gave him. When the time came for Whitney, I had a Silver Wind TM from the Lottery, so Handbell made easy work of Clefairy then Miltank was beaten by Steelpan without much trouble at all. Then I got the Berry Pots.

Route 37 - A Stantler, but I ran from it because I had weakened it, it was breaking free of my Poké Balls, both Steelpan and Handbell were asleep, and Handbell was almost dead because of a critical hit Stomp.
Route 38 - A Miltank named Conga.
Burned Tower - Skipped my encounter with Repels so I could come back in the post-game with the Sinnoh Sound.

I had to battle Silver, but he was a joke because all his Croconaw did to Accordion was Scary Face, and Bagpipes razed his other three with Flamethrower. But on Route 39, Xylophone died against a Psychic's Slowpoke because it Cursed to +5 and I just barely failed to kill it with Gust. Thankfully Horn finished it off.

Route 39 - A male Pineco named Maracas.

After arriving in Olivine, I chose Trombone, my Sandshrew, as Xylophone's replacement. I then had some training to do, and got everyone to Level 22.

Once I entered the Ecruteak Gym, Bagpipes barreled through every single trainer. He OHKO'd all their Pokémon with Flamethrower or Flame Wheel thanks to the Charcoal boost. He gained three levels on the way to Morty, haha.

Morty was no different. Bagpipes OHKO'd all his Pokémon, except Gengar who I had Accordion stall out of Sucker Punches then keep using Shadow Claw.

With that I got my fourth badge, and now I can use Surf.

So here's my team:

RIP:
Spoiler:
http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/sprites/hgss/017.png(F) "Accordion", Level 4-19
Obtained at: Route 30
Cause of death: OHKO'ed by +5 Headbutt from Psychic Nelson's Slowpoke.

Chevitile June 17th, 2014 12:19 PM

First update for LeafGreen. It's going to be quite long, so I'll put it as a spoiler.

Spoiler:

♦ Started the game, chose the female character and named her Leaf. Picked Squirtle as my starter, and named him Tortank.
♦ Beat my rival and delivered Oak's Parcel to him. Then, I was off on my adventure!
♦ Tortank's partner turned out to be a Pidgey, from Route 1. Named her Talontrap.
♦ First encounter on Route 22 was a female Rattata, named Rat-A-Tap. Paired her with Stingy the male Weedle from Route 2.
♦ Trained all of them up to Lv 10 (making Weedle a Beedrill), and then took on my rival on Route 22. Tortank handled his Pidgey, and Talontrap took out his Bulbasaur.
♦ My encounter in Viridian Forest was a female Metapod, named Deandra. Since she only knew Harden, and didn't have a partner yet, I held off on using her.
♦ Made my way out of the forest, and challenged Brock. Tortank OHKO'd all of his Pokémon with Water Gun.
♦ On Route 3, Tortank evolved into Wartortle. My encounter for the Route was a male Spearow, whom I named Roweno and then paired with Deandra.
♦ Before continuing through Mt. Moon, I trained everyone up to Lv 15, causing Deandra to become a Butterfree.
♦ Trekked through Mt. Moon, and caught a female Sandshrew as my first encounter on Route 4 just outside. Named her Swine.
♦ Decided to train up Tortank and Talontrap to Lv 20 before facing my rival, giving me a Pidgeotto. He was taken down easily after that.
♦ Defeated the trainers and Rocket grunt on Nugget Bridge, and encountered a female Bellsprout on Route 24. Named it Donnabella.
♦ Continued through Route 25 to Bill's house. I decided to not capture anything, since the only Pokémon on the Route I haven't previously caught is Abra, and I don't feel like risking that. Therefore, I'll wait until I'm better prepared, or when I have Surf/a rod for the water area.
♦ Anyway, got the S.S. Ticket from Bill, and then took on the gym after getting everyone up to Lv 20. This caused Rat-A-Tap and Roweno to evolve.
♦ Once again, Tortank and Talontrap were the duo to take down Misty.
♦ Beat the Rocket grunt outside one of the houses, and then moved along to Vermillion City. On Route 5 I encountered a female Meowth, whom I named Qash Queen, and on Route 6 I decided to skip the grass and save that area for fishing/surfing.
♦ In Diglett's Cave, I caught a female Diglett named D-Dawg.
♦ My encounter for Route 11 was a male Drowzee, whom I named Hipnez.
♦ In a battle between Rat-A-Tap and a Magnemite, Rat-A-Tap sadly passed away due to a lethal parafusion + SonicBoom combo. Stingy avenged her, and was paired with D-Dawg.
♦ Trained Diglett up to Lv 21, and then boarded the S.S. Anne. D-Dawg eventually evolved, and was able to take down my rival with her partner Stingy.
♦ D-Dawg then swept the Vermillion Gym.
♦ Oak's aide adviced me to go through Rock Tunnel, so I made my way there. On Route 9 I didn't catch anything, since I already had everything that route had to offer. However, Deandra died from a Geodude's Rock Throw, due to me forgetting I had placed this pair in the lead. Roweno was able to take it down with Pursuit, and then I paired him with Donnabella to ensure that no such terrible events from a Geodude may ever occur again.
♦ Donnabella evolved while training, and then I skipped my encounter on Route 10 for the time being. In Rock Tunnel, I encountered a female Geodude, whom I named HeadnBldrs (supposed to be Head and Boulders).
♦ Donnabella and Roweno got through half of Rock Tunnel, and Tortank and Talontrap got through the rest.
♦ From Lavender Town, I went west to Route 8 to encounter something. Turned out to be a female Vulpix, but I was unable to catch it due to it using Roar.
♦ Beat the trainers on the route, and made it to Celadon City. Decided to not catch anything on Route 7 just yet.
♦ Went to the Game Corner and fought a bunch of Rockets in their hideout. Towards the end, a Koffing's Selfdestruct was the end for Stingy. D-Dawg fought bravely for him, and was later partnered with Hipnez after having pulled of a victory. Trained him up, and evolved him into Hypno.
♦ Defeated Giovanni using Roweno and Donnabella. Acquired the Silph Scope.
♦ Went and grabbed the Eevee (my encounter for Celadon), who was male and whom I named Speed Star.
♦ Challenged the gym before moving on. It was mostly taken care of by Roweno.
♦ Returned to Lavender after having received my badge, and took on my rival using the same old pair: Tortank and Talontrap.
♦ In the tower, I encountered a female Gastly. However, it used Curse after I had weakened it, causing it to faint.
♦ Once at the top, Talontrap met her fate in the same way as Stingy; Selfdestruct from a Koffing. Tortank took care of the rest, and was then partnered with Qash Queen.
♦ Received the Poké Flute from Mr. Fuji.
♦ Flew back to Cerulean to train Qash Queen up there, since she was only Lv 10.
♦ Currently saved there.

I know there are Sinnoh hacks, but what game was this and how many deaths?

AoTora June 18th, 2014 12:45 PM

I don't remember how many deaths there were but there were a lot of them :o I believe that it was one full dead box + 8 or 9 other pokemon - and I played Pearl but I randomized wild encounters like I stated few posts ago I believe ~

Oh wow D: Yeah, when a thread gets bumped back and you wait over a month for someone to post twice, you tend to forget that happens. I'll add you anyway.

AoTora June 18th, 2014 12:51 PM

Yup this challenge was crazy D: So many deaths and a lot of them were just so unnecessary thanks to crits the opponents got >.< Oh and burning, paralyzing and freezing, poisoning hacks - everything froze me or paralyzed me or burnt me or poison me even though the chances were like 10% >.<

enigmaeffect June 18th, 2014 2:05 PM

Yeah, I went and failed Y. 8 deaths between the second and third gyms. I'm starting all six of my games over, if I may. I got crushed pretty bad, but I intend to come back stronger.

Chevitile June 21st, 2014 9:24 AM

Second update for LeafGreen:

Spoiler:

♦ Trained up Qash Queen to be on par with the rest of my Pokémon, which means she evolved during the process.
♦ Went to Route 16 to catch Snorlax and move onto Fuchsia, but the Snorlax ended up killing both Roweno and Donnabella with critical hits. When Tortank almost went down as well, I decided to run away from it.
♦ Speed Star and HeadnBldrs formed a new pair. I trained them up, evolved Speed Star into Jolteon and HeadnBldrs into Graveler, and got the Thunderbolt TM for Speed Star.
♦ On Cycling Road, Hipnez went down after being unable to land a move due to SmokeScreen from a Weezing. He was also poisoned. D-Dawg avenged him. Since Ultra Balls were available for purchase, I bought some and then backtracked to Route 25, where I caught a male Abra named Karl-10. He became D-Dawg's new partner.
♦ I also went to Route 7, where my encounter was a female Vulpix, that I named Hotshot.
♦ However, while trying to train up Karl-10 on Route 16 using the switch-in-and-out method, a Doduo used Pursuit, causing him to faint. D-Dawg got her revenge.
♦ Went back to Route 6 and caught a male Poliwag named Poppilol, who became D-Dawg's new partner.
♦ Trained Poppilol up, evolving it twice, and then continued my adventure on Cycling Road.
♦ Caught a male Doduo there, named Triniwi.
♦ I used Speed Star and HeadnBldrs for the rest of the trainers, but Speed Star was unable to OHKO a Machamp, and fainted after it had used Revenge. HeadnBldrs finished it off, and was then paired with Triniwi.
♦ Trained it up to Lv 31, causing it to evolve.
♦ Once I was actually able to go through Cycling Road without any deaths, I arrived in Fuchsia City.
♦ Checked out the Safari Zone immediately. In the Center Area, my encounter was a female Rhyhorn, whom I named Banhammer. Area 1 gave me a female Exeggcute named Palmerina, and Area 2 gave me a male Goldeen named Golddigger. Lastly, Area 3 gave me a male Venonat, named Malila.
♦ Since I wasn't feeling too confident about taking Koga on immediately, I decided to train some more on the Routes 12-15, going in backwards order. I didn't bother in catching anything on Route 15 and 14, since I already had or used to have those Pokémon. Tortank evolved here, too.
♦ Before catching anything on Route 13, I went to Route 12 and obtained the Super Rod. In doing so, however, I engaged in a battle with a trainer who had a Voltorb. The Voltorb used Selfdestruct and got a critical hit, causing Qash Queen to faint. I decided to make Hotshot the new partner for Tortank.
♦ With the Super Rod, I caught a male Krabby on Route 13, named King Klo.
♦ Since Hotshot was rather weak, I decided to train her up by rematching some trainers on Route 15. This turned out to backfire though, since one trainer in particular used different spore/powder moves with her Bulbasaur and Ivysaur, and succeeded in getting critical hits with Razor Leaf. Hotshot was therefore done for, and Tortank had a close call himself.
♦ Palmerina became Tortank's new partner. I trained her up in Pokémon Tower, partly to invest in Sp. Atk EV's from Gastly, and also because Confusion was enough to OHKO them.
♦ It took a really long time to get her up to the rest of my Pokémon (they were all around Lv 40), but once I was done, I used Palmerina to catch the Snorlax on Route 12. Named him Snoozefest.
♦ Finally felt secure enough to tackle Koga, which D-Dawg and Poppilol had to do. It was really close, his Pokémon using SmokeScreen and poisoning with Sludge almost killed them both, but I came out victorious.
♦ Gave the Tea to the guard, and made my way into Saffron City. Went straight for the Fighting Dojo, where Tortank and Palmerina battled through to the end. I didn't pick up any of the Pokémon in the Dojo, because I thought it would count as my encounter for Saffron, and I'd rather have Lapras.
♦ Consequently, I raided the Silph Co. building, defeating my rival and Giovanni in the process. I also picked up the Lapras, which turned out to be female. I named her Vanessa.
♦ As it turned out, Lapras' place of encounter was Silph Co., and not Saffron. Therefore, I went back and picked up the Hitmonchan in the Dojo. It counted as my encounter for Saffron. It was male, and I named it Neko-Chan.
♦ Again, battling Sabrina was something I didn't feel too good about, so I decided to do some Surf stuff in the meantime.
♦ Firstly, I caught a female Slowpoke in Fuchsia City, named Cestry.
♦ Remembered that there was a Surf spot in Viridian City, but I already owned everything there. However, there is an in-game trade in which you trade away a Slowbro for a Lickitung, so I caught a new Slowpoke just for that sole reason. It was female, and I simply named it Trade.
♦ Went back to Route 10, where I caught a male Magikarp named Megakarp.
♦ Continued towards the Power Plant, caught a male Pikachu named Racie, defeated some Pokémon for EXP, collected some items and then made it out.
♦ Since there wasn't much left to do, I rebattled some trainers with Triniwi and HeadnBldrs. I also used an evo editor, allowing me to evolve HeadnBldrs into Golem.
♦ Challenged the gym with Triniwi and HeadnBldrs.
♦ They handled it really well, and was able to take down Sabrina fairly easily.
♦ Before Surfing to Cinnabar, I went to Route 19 from Fuchsia City. I encountered a male Tentacool that I named Chironex, and then battled the trainers on the Route.
♦ Eventually made it to Seafoam Islands, where I caught a male Seel named Taylor.
♦ Flew to Pallet Town and started surfing downwards on Route 21. My encounter for the area was a female Tangela named Vine.
♦ Battled the trainers and evolved Palmerina into Exeggutor, since it had learned SolarBeam at Lv 43.
♦ Eventually made it to Cinnabar, where I resurrected Omanyte from the fossil I picked up in Mt. Moon. It was female, and I named it Spinwave.
♦ Due to the gym being closed, I had to retrieve the key from the Pokémon Mansion. Since it would be good training for D-Dawg and Poppilol, I just barged right in and completely forgot that I could catch something there. Owing to this, I did not get an encounter here.
♦ What I did get, however, was a death - D-Dawg's Magnitude got a low roll, causing a wild Raticate to survive and then kill D-Dawg off. Poppilol got his revenge, and was then partnered with the female Slowpoke I was supposed to trade away. My encounter for Route 18 was therefore a Lickitung, but it turned out to be male (and called Marc), so I couldn't pair it wih Poppilol. I brought in Banhammer instead.
♦ Searched the mansion and found the key, which I then used to enter the gym. Poppilol had to do all of the work, since Banhammer was too weak. Blaine did not put up a fight, though.
♦ After the battle, Bill asked me to help him out on the islands. I traveled there, and caught a female Ponyta named Asha on Kindle Road. On Mt. Ember, I caught a male Magmar named Gunther.
♦ I was training up Banhammer along the way, but she took a turn for the worse when she was unable to flee from a Tentacool. It used BubbleBeam, which had fatal effects. Poppilol avenged her.
♦ I went back to the PokéCenter to find a new partner for Poppilol, but the PC services were down. Instead, I went to Cape Brink on Two Island, and caught a female Poliwhirl. I named it Trade, as another in-game trade requires your Poliwhirl for their Jynx.
♦ I delivered the Meteorite I had obtained from Bill to the guy on Two Island, and then went to Three Island to take care of the biker dudes.
♦ Said and done, and then I went looking for Lostelle in Berry Forest. I took down the Hypno, and then my quest on these islands were done for the time being.
♦ Took the ferry back to Cinnabar, where I obtained a Tri-Pass from Bill.
♦ Then, I paired Poppilol with Trade, and went to Cerulean to obtain the Jynx. It was nicknamed Zynx.
♦ Currently trying to train up Zynx before moving on.

Feraligatr13 June 23rd, 2014 7:28 AM

I've been following Marriland's Black 2 Wedlocke, and I thought I'd do one or two myself.

Name: Mega Mawile
Games: Pearl, Zeta (fanmade game)
Ultimate?: Not today.
Any optional rules?:
I can not use healing items in battle.
The level of my Pokemon can not exceed the level of the next Gym Leader's strongest Pokemon.
Shiny Clause (Pearl only)
Items that alter IVs, Abilities, or Natures are banned. (Zeta only)

I'm doing Pearl first, then I'll do Zeta once I finish.

Chevitile June 24th, 2014 1:18 PM

Final update for LeafGreen!

Spoiler:

♦ Trained up Zynx against Gastlys. When doing so, I encountered a shiny one! And then I killed it, because it's absolutely needless in this case.
♦ When training was done, I battled the trainers I had missed on Route 20.
♦ The only gym remaining was now the one in Viridian City. I went there, and battled all the trainers for a chunk of Exp.
♦ I used Tortank and Palmerina against Giovanni, who went down very easily. I acquired the badge as well as the Earthquake TM, and then made my way west, to the Pokémon League.
♦ When doing so, my rival challenged me to a battle. I used Triniwi and HeadnBldrs against him. He was quite difficult, but I managed to beat him.
♦ On Route 23 (the badge check gate), I encountered a female Mankey. Named her MonkeyKong.
♦ Victory Road was up ahead, and it proved to be somewhat of a hassle. One trainer in particular ended up killing both Triniwi and HeadnBldrs with his Cloyster. Palmerina had to finish the job.
♦ I exited immediately, in order to find a new pair.
♦ Eventually decided on Marc and the newly caught MonkeyKong. Since they were quite low-levelled, I had to train them up a lot before being able to continue. MonkeyKong evolved in the process.
♦ With my new pair, I entered Victory Road once again, and made it out safely this time.
♦ At the Pokémon Center, I healed up, bought new items, gave some items to my Pokémon and finalized their movesets before going in.

♦ First up was Lorelei, against whom I used Zynx and Poppilol. Or more accurately, only Zynx. She set up a few Calm Minds against Lorelei's Dewgong, and from there, I could sweep with Psychic and Ice Punch. The only Pokémon of hers to put up a fight was her own Jynx, who used Lovely Kiss and made Zynx fall asleep. The Poké Flute quickly awakened her though, allowing me to finish it off.

♦ Bruno was up next. I used Tortank and Palmerina for this battle. I could easily use Surf or Confusion on his Pokémon and make them faint fairly easily, but some Pokémon required a Sleep Powder/Leech Seed combo, Machamp being one of them. It managed to use Bulk Up once, making it pretty fatal with Cross Chop. After it was put to sleep and seeded, however, it went down fairly easily thanks to Confusion.

♦ In the third battle, against Agatha, I decided to try out the new pair - Marc and MonkeyKong. It turned out to work out very well in my favor. Her first Gengar was supposed to be an annoyer, with Toxic, Confuse Ray and Double Team. Despite all these moves, Marc was able to counter it. I had Shock Wave for Double Team and its ability Own Tempo prevented confusion. Poison was the only thing I couldn't fend off as easily. Her Golbat also went down to Shock Wave, although it dealt a lot of damage with its high crit ratio moves. Arbok was Earthquaked twice by MonkeyKong, and her Haunter couldn't touch her, either. Vital Spirit prevented sleep, so Dream Eater didn't work, either. I did have to switch in to Marc, who brought it down with a Flamethrower after it had used Curse once. Her other Gengar went down to Marc as well.

♦ Lance was somewhat tedious to take down. I used Tortank and Palmerina. Tortank VS Gyarados turned into a flinchfest, as I had to resort to using Bite due to the Intimidate. Palmerina took down his two Dragonair by using Leech Seed and Confusion, and then Tortank defeated Aerodactyl by using Surf. His Dragonair did go down to two Ice Beams, but it really packed a punch with Outrage, causing me to heal often.

♦ Lastly, the Champion, my rival. Again, I used Tortank and Palmerina for this battle. His Pidgeot was easily brought down by Tortank's Ice Beams, and then he wanted to send out Venusaur. Palmerina had to handle it, using Sleep Powder and Confusion. It was fairly annoying though, waking up and using Sunny Day + Synthesis. It eventually went down, though. Gyarados was his next Pokémon, and I decided to stay in, in order to take advantage of the sun and use SolarBeam without having to charge it up. This, however, failed, as the sun faded just on that turn. I still used SolarBeam against it, and when it was at red health my rival tried something very smart; he predicted another SolarBeam, switching into his Arcanine, basically hoping for a free Flamethrower right to the face. On the contrary, I used Confusion, causing his plan to fail. I switched out to Tortank, who killed it off easily. Next up was Alakazam. I tried leaving Tortank in, but his attacks weren't doing enough to it. Owing to this, I switched out into Palmerina, hoping to pull off the usual strategy. It worked out in a rather good manner. I did receive one Sp. Def drop from Alakazam's Psychic, and when he wanted to send out his Gyarados again, I didn't wanna risk dying due to Bite or something. Therefore, I switched out into Blastoise. Gyarados could only use Dragon Rage and Thrash, attacks that Tortank completely walled, but I couldn't deal much damage myself. It eventually went down, and the last Pokémon - Rhydon - fainted instantly to a Surf. Thereby, I was crowned the Champion!

Pendraflare June 28th, 2014 5:46 AM

Cool, you've been added. Now for my business here!

Heart Gold Wedlocke - Update #3

Spoiler:
Alright, so let's start with the encounters I obtained.

Ecruteak City - A male Poliwag named Rainstick.
Ruins of Alph - A female Quagsire named Marimba.
Slowpoke Well - A male Slowpoke named Panflute.

I scaled the Lighthouse and found Jasmine, then got Steelpan to evolve into Graveler and then traded her to evolve into Golem. I also got the Eevee from Bill, which was female (!!) and named her Clavinet.

Mt. Mortar - A male Machop named Drums. Then I made it into Mahogany Town.
Route 43 - A female Mareep named Guitar.
Lake of Rage - I caught the Red Gyarados, which was male, and named him Keyboard.

I then traded the Red Scale to Mr. Pokémon and got the Exp. Share for it.

Cherrygrove City - A female Hoothoot named Piccolo.
Route 40 - A female Tentacool named Saxophone.
Olivine City - A male Corsola named Fiddle.

Then I went through the Team Rocket HQ, which was no problem at all. I also caught a female Koffing there named Melodica. Then I went to Cianwood City, where I got a female Krabby named Clapper, and beat Eusine without much trouble.

Chuck, on the other hand, was a massacre. His Primeape used Double Team to the max and killed Trombone, but not without doing over half with a critical hit Shadow Claw, then Horn killed it. And because of his Poliwrath's stupid Sitrus Berry, he killed Horn with a critical hit Body Slam right before I would have finished it off, then he healed and Handbell died on the same point, but not without me paralyzing him. Steelpan got in some Magnitude, but I barely finished him with Accordion after he was fully paralyzed.

So I chose Marimba the Quagsire and Maracas the Pineco, and Tuba the Drowzee and Saxophone the Tentacool as my replacements. Jasmine was no problem at all for Bagpipes with Choice Specs Flamethrower.

I went to Route 47, where my encounter was a female Seel named Sousaphone. At the Cliff Cave I got five duplicates, so nothing there. For Route 48, I got a Farfetch'd, which I passed up catching because it refused to be caught and used Swords Dance, which was scary. At the Safari Zone Gate, I caught a female Exeggcute named Piano.

At the Safari Zone, all I got was a male Lickitung named Mandolin. Then when I got to training, Maracas and Tuba evolved into Forretress and Hypno respectively, but Saxophone died to a critical hit from a WILD GOLDEEN of all things, from Flail at 30% after I was hit with confusion damage and around half. That frustrated me to the maximum.

So I chose Piccolo the Hoothoot as her replacement, and slapped Fly on her right away. I got her to evolve into Noctowl with the Exp. Share, and then took on the Mahogany Gym. Pryce required some strategy. Seel wasn't too bad, Piloswine I had to get crafty against and use Maracas' Light Screen, but after putting him to sleep I killed him with a critical hit Surf from Marimba. Dewgong, however, was so tedious, it took me 14 minutes to kill because I didn't know he had Rest and Sleep Talk. But I had Rest, so I was able to barely beat him to the punch with some luck. If I tried to type out the battle, i'd be here all day. But it worked.

Then I got word that Team Rocket has invaded the Radio Tower, which i'll take care of later.

So here's my team:

Chevitile July 2nd, 2014 3:48 PM

First update on Gold:

♦ Started up the game and named myself Chevi.
♦ Chose my starter and encounter for New Bark Town, a male Chikorita, that I called Baeleaf.
♦ Went to Mr. Pokémon's house and back, obtaining some Poké Balls from Prof. Elm's aide.
♦ On Route 29, I encountered a female Hoothoot. Caught it and named it Clock-La. Paired her with Baeleaf.
♦ On Route 30, my encounter was a male Rattata. I called it Rat Pack.
♦ Route 31 offered me a female Spinarak, which I named Contessa. She was paired with Rat Pack.
♦ Decided to catch something in Dark Cave while I was near it. It turned out to be a female Geodude, named Roche.
♦ In Sprout Tower, I encountered a male Gastly that I named Shadus. He made up the final pair, along with Roche.
♦ Beat the Elder in the tower, and then challenged the gym.
♦ Thanks to Roche's Rock Throw and Shadus' typing, Falkner was a piece of cake.
♦ Picked up the Egg from Elm's assistant, and then continued to Route 32, where I caught a male Hoppip named Zey-J.
♦ Ventured downwards, and made it to the Union Cave. Encountered a female Zubat, whom I named Bat Gal.
♦ Made it out of the cave onto Route 33, where I caught a Spearow named Rowena.
♦ In Azalea Town, Kurt informed me of Team Rocket being in the Slowpoke Well.
♦ Went there to defeat them, and also caught a male Slowpoke. Named it Caesar.
♦ Got rid of Team Rocket, and then challenged the gym. Again, Roche and Shadus did all the work against Bugsy. However, she was extremely close to finishing Roche off with Fury Cutter, since I had missed a Rock Throw. I was able to take it out though, and then Shadus took care of the remaining Pokémon.
♦ I also used this duo against my rival outside the gate to Ilex Forest, but Roche swept him on her own.
♦ In Ilex Forest, my encounter was a male Caterpie. Named it De×Andre.
♦ Trekked through the forest, and ended up on Route 34. Sadly, I didn't get an encounter there, as it was an Abra that used Teleport after I had failed to catch it.
♦ Decided to challenge the Goldenrod Gym, which proved to be both fortunate and misfortunate. Baeleaf evolved in there, but Clock-La also died due to a crit, forcing Baeleaf to avenge her. I chose Bat Gal as his new partner.
♦ Rat Pack also died in there. Contessa fought on her own, and was then paired with Caesar.
♦ Trained these two new members up before continuing, partly in Ilex Forest, but also Underground.
♦ Once again, I used Roche and Shadus against Whitney. I took out Clefairy with Roche, and then used Shadus with Hypnosis and Curse against Miltank. Roche then handled the rest, as I didn't wanna die due to Rollout.
♦ Went north to Route 35, where Contessa died against a Marill. Poison Sting just wasn't doing enough damage. Caesar finished the battle, and was then paired with Rowena.
♦ My encounter on Route 35 was a Nidoran♂, whom I caught and named Knug XVI.
♦ The Bug Catching Contest was on during the same day, so I decided to try it. My encounter was a male Kakuna, that I named Acuecoon.
♦ Decided to train my team up to Lv 20. Upon doing so, Rowena evolved. I then stopped my adventure for now.

Pendraflare July 2nd, 2014 4:31 PM

Uh, I think you mean Gold, haha. :P Anyway, let's get to my business here.

Heart Gold Wedlocke - Update #4

Spoiler:
So I went through the Radio Tower. The grunts were a joke because Bagpipes and Accordion handled nearly all of them, but I had to use Marimba and Maracas against Petrel and his team of bombs, the former of who was able to OHKO the Koffing with Mystic Water boosted Surf, but I did have to do some juggling a bit.

Then after training everyone to Level 34, I battled Silver in the Goldenrod Tunnel. He was pretty easy except for his Feraligatr, which wasn't that hard either because his attacks were weak. Going through the tunnel, I beat all the grunts, and on the last one Bagpipes reached Level 36 and evolved into Typhlosion.

I also trained Marimba to Level 36 so she could learn Earthquake. After breezing through a few more Executives in the Radio Tower, I had Marimba beat Archer's Houndour and Houndoom with Earthquake, while Maracas beat the Koffing.

Afterward I went to Route 44, where I caught a Weepinbell named Didgeridoo, then the Ice Path where I got a Swinub named Bass. Once I made it to Blackthorn City, I FINALLY got rid of the HMs that Accordion was littered with, then went down to Route 45. I beat the trainers there with ease and caught an Aipom named Keytar. While backtracking I went to the Safari Zone to catch a Sandshrew solely to show the Owner, but I released it immediately afterward. Then I caught a Mantine on Route 41 named Clavichord and a Tentacruel in the Whirl Islands named Sax II.

I trained my entire team to Level 41, then took on Clair's Gym. I used Piccolo and Tuba against her. Gyarados kept using Bite against Piccolo, but I killed her with two Air Slashes, a Hyper Potion and a Hyper Beam. The first Dragonair kept using Slam on Tuba, and I used Rest a few times but I eventually killed it. The second Dragonair I 2HKO'd with Piccolo's Air Slash and Hyper Beam after putting it to sleep. But then, Kingdra happened. I used Light Screen with Tuba, and as I was using Rest, she then KILLED BOTH TUBA AND PICCOLO WITH TWO CRITICAL HIT HYDRO PUMPS IN A ROW. I think that text and size tells you how infuriated I was. Anyway, I got Marimba to waste her last Hydro Pump, then I had to use Maracas to stall her out a bit, and I kept hitting through repeated SmokeScreens with Bug Bite. And she got ANOTHER critical hit Hyper Beam against Maracas when she was almost gone, but I survived with 11 HP, and just to taunt me even harder, I got the critical hit on the last turn that didn't matter.

So I went to the Dragon's Den, passed the test of the Elder and got the Dratini, which I named Ukulele. I then chose Organ the Gastly and Bass the Swinub as my new pair.

After getting the Master Ball from Elm, I took on the Kimono Girls, who, to be honest, were a joke. Maracas had little to no trouble with Espeon, especially after Marimba yawned it to sleep, although Umbreon was slightly annoying with Confuse Ray but I still 2HKO'd it with Bug Bite. Marimba took care of the other three with no problem.

Then I trained my main four (not my new recruits) to Level 43 and took on Ho-Oh, who only used Sacred Fire followed by Extrasensory, and I had Yawned it again and 2HKO'd it with Waterfall. That was that.

So here's my team:

Chevitile July 5th, 2014 12:06 PM

Oh yeah sorry, thanks :) So I decided to play some more yesterday and today, but a part of me wishes I hadn't... so many deaths.

♦ On Route 36 I caught a Nidoran♀, whom I named Bluebeary. And on Route 37, I encountered a female Stantler that I caught and named Dialle.
♦ Made it to Ecruteak and went to the Burnt Tower, where Roche swept my rival. I then caught a male Koffing, named Choaking.
♦ Defeated the gym trainers, and then challenged Morty, using Bat Gal and Baeleaf. Bat Gal had now evolved into Golbat, and worked wonders with Bite. Against Gengar, I used Baeleaf to set up Reflect, but it kept on using Hypnosis. Therefore, once I could switch out into Bat Gal to attack, its effect wore off. I won, though.
♦ Went up against the Kimono Girls, brought them all down and received Surf. Taught it to Caesar, and then started going west.
♦ On Route 38, I encounered a Miltank, but I was unable to catch it due to poisoning taking it out. I encountered another one on Route 39 though, that I was able to capture. Named it Milkshake.
♦ Once in Olivine City, I climbed to the top of the Lighthouse, and then I picked up the Good Rod. Then, I backtracked to get some new encounters. In Violet City, I surfed and encountered a female Poliwag that I caught and named Aina. Cherrygrove offered me a female Tentacool, called Chironex. In Ecruteak, my encounter was a female Magikarp, named Jasmine. I got myself a female Krabby named Cookie in Olivine City.
♦ Backtracked some more to Headbutt some trees. On Route 42, I got a female Heracross named Tekeze, and in Azalea Town I encountered a female Exeggcute named Chanel.
♦ Continued on Route 40, where I fished up a female Corsola. Called it Coraline.
♦ This is where things started to go downhill. Firstly, a swimmer's Shellder was able to take out Rowena. Caesar finished it off, and was then partnered with Bluebeary, whom I trained before continuing.
♦ On Route 41, I encountered a Mantine, but it died to poison.
♦ Further down the Route, a trainer's Gyarados was way too strong for Bat Gal, who fainted. Baeleaf avenged her, and was then partnered with Dialle.
♦ Dialle, however, died as I was training her. A wild Tentacruel poisoned her, and then I was unable to flee from it. Chironex became Baeleaf's new partner.
♦ Another swimmer's Horsea knew Dragon Rage, which was a serious threat to Caesar. He fainted, and Bluebeary killed it off. She was then partnered with Zey-J.
♦ Trained Zey-J up and then challenged the gym trainers with him and Bluebeary, but I battled Chuck with Baeleaf and Chironex. Reflect helped a lot, as well as poison and confusion. I earned the badge.
♦ Obtained the Fly HM outside the gym, but as I had no flyers, I simply had to Surf back to Olivine.
♦ Before taking on the gym in Olivine, I wanted to do some more training. Due to this, I went to Union Cave, where the first trainer managed to kill half my team. Roche and Shadus were first up against his Marowak, whose Bone Club completely annihilated both of them. I then sent out Chironex, blatantly disregarding the fact that she's half Poison-type and just thinking "A water move would take this thing out". She did take out his first Marowak, but he had a second one, who killed her easily. Baeleaf could handle it well, though.
♦ I partnered Baeleaf with Jasmine, and decided on a new pairing of Choaking and Tekeze.
♦ Currently about to train my new members up.

Chevitile July 15th, 2014 7:45 AM

Third update for my Gold Wedlocke:

♦ Trained my team members up to be around the same level as the rest of my members.
♦ Forgot to get the SecretPotion back in Cianwood, so I went to get that.
♦ Gave it to Jasmine and decided to hold off on battling her for now, so I went west towards Mahogany instead.
♦ On Route 43, I found a male Flaaffy that I named Woolec. Used Headbutt on some of the trees at Lake of Rage, and out popped a Pineco, but it killed itself.
♦ Took on the shiny Gyarados, who managed to kill Baeleaf with Dragon Rage when he was at 39 HP. Jasmine finished it off, and was then partnered with Woolec.
♦ Woolec, however, died almost instantly as it died to a wild Seaking after being unable to flee from it. I partnered Jasmine with Knug XVI, whom I could train up without any problems.
♦ Went to raid the Rocket Hideout with Lance's help. I earned the Whirlpool HM as a reward.
♦ Then, I took on the Mahogany gym, using Jasmine and Knug XVI against Pryce.
♦ After having won, I believe I took on Jasmine, using the same pairing and winning quite easily.
♦ I then raided Team Rocket in Goldenrod. Sadly, one of the executives managed to take out my second pairing. His Weezing used Selfdestruct against Bluebeary, and Zey-J, being a Grass-type, did not fare well against all of his Poison-types.
♦ For my new pairing, I decided on Milkshake, and to hopefully hatch a male Togepi. I walked around with it a lot, and trained up my team members in the meantime. I also got the PokéRus while doing this! Once it hatched, I trained some more to increase its happiness.
♦ Then I realized that the egg had hatched on a route where I had already caught something. Luckily, I hadn't used my Togepi (male and named Starlight) in battle, so I just boxed it. Milkshake's partner the Eevee Bill gives you in Goldenrod, so that was my encounter there. It was male, and I named it Esphynx.
♦ Walked around with it to increase its happiness, and then it evolved into Espeon. Trained him up as well.
♦ Took care of the rest of the Goldenrod business, and then returned to Mahogany.
♦ On Route 44, I encountered a Weepinbel whom I got a critical hit on while trying to weaken it, resulting in me killing it.
♦ In the Ice Path, I caught a female Swinub and named it Mamo.
♦ I then remembered I hadn't caught anything at the Ruins of Alph, so I went through the Union Cave, and then caught a female Natu at my destination. I called it Natix.
♦ Went back to the Ice Path and made it to Blackthorn City.
♦ Took on Clair using Milkshake and Esphynx, who did a very great job despite her Kingdra being quite scary.
♦ Went to the Dragon's Den to get my badge, and also encountered a female Dratini there. I caught it and named it Dracolosse.
♦ Picked up the Dragon Fang and got the badge.
♦ Went down to Route 46, where I encountered a Gligar that died due to poisoning.
♦ On Route 45, I caught a female Jigglypuff named Bubblegum.
♦ I could then make my way to the Pokémon League. In Tohjo Falls, I caught a female Goldeen named Golddigger.
♦ On Route 27, I encountered a Quagsire, but it fled...
♦ Against a trainer on the same route, Jasmine died. He had a Magneton whom I was unable to OHKO. Knug XVI finished the job, and was then partnered with Golddigger.
♦ Trained it up and then continued.
♦ Route 26 offered me a male Doduo, whom I caught and named Guava.
♦ In Victory Road, I caught a female Ursaring named Junbi. I also battled my rival using Knug XVI and Golddigger.
♦ Before taking on the Pokémon League, I trained my team up to Lv 43, and taught them some moves.
♦ I used Milkshake and Esphynx against Will and Koga, and then Bruno was handled by Choaking and Tekeze. The latter one made great use of Counter, for once!
♦ Karen was handled by Knug XVI and Golddigger, although her Houndoom managed to take out Golddigger after a Sp. Def drop from Crunch. Knug XVI could finish it off easily, though.
♦ Finally, Lance was handled by Esphynx and Milkshake. He was pretty difficult, and was very close to finishing off both my Pokémon at some points. However, I prevailed in the end.
♦ Partnered Knug XVI with Dracolosse, and will be going to Kanto shortly!

Congrats on getting through Johto! As I said, you only have to get through Kanto for me to declare the challenge complete. Hope that all works out! Anyway, let's take care of my end.

Heart Gold Wedlocke - Update #5

Spoiler:
With Johto coming to an end, I headed back to New Bark Town to Route 27. I used Repels throughout there, Tohjo Falls and Route 26 so I could come back in the post-game and try for something more interesting. However, Accordion died against an Ace Trainer with a Golduck that lowered her Special Defense with Psychic, then Vaporeon killed her with a critical hit Surf. When I went back to Cherrygrove, I replaced her with Guitar the Mareep.

In Victory Road, I ran into a Golbat and four Graveler, so I whiffed my encounter there. Silver was no problem for Marimba and Maracas. After that, I trained up tons using Pokégear rematches, getting myself to 999999P and getting my entire team to Level 48. I did a bit of training off of Miltank on Route 47, too.

Once we were back at the league, it was time to roll.

Will was a joke; beat him in five turns with Guitar and Bagpipes.

Koga wasn't too bad. Organ OHKO'ed his Ariados with a critical hit, Venomoth was OHKO'ed by Bass' Earthquake, Crobat was 2HKO'ed by Ice Fang followed by Ice Shard, Forretress was 2HKO'ed by Organ's Thunderbolt, and Muk was slammed by Bass' Earthquake.

Bruno was just sad. I used Substitute against Hitmontop, who for god knows what reason used Dig TWICE and was 2HKO'ed. Hitmonlee tried to use Swagger while I had a Substitute up. Hitmonchan broke my sub with Fire Punch. Onix I OHKO'ed with Bass' Earthquake, but not without me setting up Reflect. Machamp I put to sleep with Organ's Hypnosis, then set up a Substitute and killed him with a critical hit Shadow Ball.

Karen, however, was definitely more intense. Umbreon took less than half from Maracas' Bug Bite, and she was annoying with Confuse Ray and Double Team, then she switched out to Houndoom. I brought in Marimba, who thankfully survived Flamethrower then Dark Pulse and killed her with Earthquake. Vileplume kept using Petal Dance against Maracas, and I used a turn to heal Marimba with a MooMoo Milk. Bug Bite followed by two Paybacks finished her. Gengar was dangerous - Marimba's Waterfall did less than half, and I Yawned her to sleep but got her to use her Full Restore, followed by a critical hit that almost killed her. I used Yawn on her Focus Blast, and she used Destiny Bond but I predicted that and used Earthquake to trigger Levitate. Then she died. Murkrow Whirlwinded me into Guitar, who killed her with Thunderbolt. Bagpipes finished Umbreon with Blast Burn.

Finally, the Champion, Lance. Gyarados and Charizard were easy OHKOs with Organ's Choice Specs Thunderbolt, and Aerodactyl did less than half to Bass with Rock Slide as Ice Shard was a 2HKO. His Level 50 Dragonite I OHKO'ed with Ice Fang...but his Level 49 Dragonites were faster and I ended up losing both Bass and Organ to his last one, but not without Organ doing over half with Choice Specs Shadow Ball. I had Maracas set up Reflect, and Marimba survived a Hyper Beam and missed Blizzard twice in a row, but he missed Blizzard too, and luckily I hit with one more and killed him for the win.

Here was my final team for Johto:

I'll try to update the OP in a little bit, ugh it's been a while since I got to that.

Chevitile July 27th, 2014 3:45 AM

Thank you! For the final update of Gold, I honestly haven't got much to say. I trained up everyone to Lv 50 before going to Kanto, and once there, I just started beating gyms left and right. Lt. Surge was swept by Knug XVI, Esphynx took care of Janine, Choaking brought down Erika, Brock required some teamwork from Esphynx and Milkshake, and Knug XVI swept Blaine. I held off on battling Misty and Sabrina, as I thought they would be the most troublesome. Esphynx and Milkshake teamed up for Misty, and then Milkshake could solo Sabrina. Last up was Blue, against whom Knug XVI and Dracolosse battled for the victory, despite being tough. I'm surprised I managed to get through Kanto without any deaths! I did catch a bunch of stuff on the routes, so here's a list of those encounters:

Spoiler:

Route 6: Pidgey (F), named Geypsy
Route 5: An Abra, that I failed to catch.
Route 11: I encountered a Drowzee here, but I somehow forgot that I could catch it, so I just ran away from it.
Vermilion City: Shellder (M), named Clampagne
Route 18: Grimer (M), named Zukram
Route 8: Another Abra that I failed to catch.
Rock Tunnel: Cubone (F), named Stickone
On routes 13, 14 and 15, I had already encountered everything (except for Chansey), so I didn't catch anything on those routes.
Route 9: Mankey (F), named Ms. Piggy
Route 10: Electabuzz (F), named Electra
Diglett's Cave: Dugtrio (F), named Major Brs
Pallet Town: A Chinchou that I accidentally killed.
Route 21: A Tangela, but it fled.
Cinnabar Island: Chinchou (F), named Marina
On routes 19 and 21 I had already encountered everything too, so no eligible encounters there.

For the rest of the routes, I simply didn't bother encountering anything.

I do want to challenge Red, but as it will take a long time to train up my team, I'm holding off on that for the moment, and focusing on my next game, Sapphire. I've already played a little bit, but I'm only one badge in.

Heart Gold Wedlocke Challenge - Update #6

Spoiler:
After making it through the Elite Four and Champion, I decided on my replacement pair to be Triangle the NidoranF and Panflute the Slowpoke. I went into Kanto and took on the Gym Leaders. In order:

Lt. Surge was taken care of easily with Marimba. I had the Zoom Lens to anticipate Double Team, which worked pretty well. His Electrodes never went boom, so it was nothing.

Janine was no sweat, the only Pokémon that had me concerned at all was Weezing, which only used Toxic against Guitar, which my Lum Berry cured. Everything else of hers was easy.

Between Janine and Brock, I finally put in an effort to train up my new pair, and evolved Panflute into a Slowking.

Brock I took care of easily with Panflute and Triangle, the latter of whom had the Choice Specs. Graveler and Kabutops did deal moderate hits, but nothing bad.

Erika was slightly dicey because Jumpluff was faster than Bagpipes and used Sunny Day, but Guitar used Signal Beam on Tangela and I had Protect on Bagpipes to stall out Sunny Day, which worked. Bellossom succumbed to a Charcoal boosted Blast Burn.

Misty I took care of mostly with Guitar, except for Quagsire - I gave Bagpipes the Power Herb and SolarBeam for that. She did try to annoy me with her Full Restores on Lapras, but I confused her with Signal Beam for kicks.

Sabrina I took on single-handedly with Maracas and Light Screen. Not much to say there.

Blaine's Magcargo was no sweat, but Magmar I had to get in a bit of strategy for. I went to Panflute as he used Sunny Day, then Yawned him after taking just over 1/3 from Overheat, healed and took another hit. I switched in Triangle, and he stayed asleep and OHKO'ed him with Choice Specs Earth Power. Rapidash was slammed by Panflute's (Mystic Water boosted) Surf, even with Bounce paralyzing him.

Blue was...well, not what I expected. Triangle OHKO'ed Exeggutor with a critical hit Choice Specs Sludge Bomb, the critical hit did NOT matter. Gyarados was hit with a critical hit Psychic from Panflute, and he healed then I used Yawn. I got Triangle in on Dragon Dance and OHKO'ed him with Thunderbolt while he snoozed. Rhydon missed Panflute with Megahorn and was also slammed. Machamp did around half with ThunderPunch, and survived a Psychic, but he healed. Then he only used Stone Edge before dying. Arcanine left Panflute with 9 HP with Flare Blitz (I had Leftovers) before dying to Surf. Pidgeot did less than half to Triangle with Return, then Thunderbolt did well over half and paralyzed him. Then he was 2HKO'ed. Oh man...

Then I got Rock Climb and access to Mt. Silver, but I have NO idea what i'm gonna do against Red's Snorlax.

Team:

RIP:
Spoiler:
No changes since last part.

That will declare Heart Gold complete for me, although I do plan to take on Red. When, however, I don't know.

AoTora September 27th, 2014 9:46 AM

I failed my Volt White 2 Wedlocke at Cheren but I didn't give up- Instead I decided to do one on White 2 - and did the whole after game aswell+rematching elite 4 and champion.

Here is the first round that didn't go all that well:

Spoiler:


Than I lost both Dunsparce and Cinccino in the Pinwheel forest due to crits >_>

Than the rematch came - and I was just really really really afraid of it after the first round..

Spoiler:


But I did it!

Those videos aren't working, i'll have to be verified on the amount of deaths you had before I can count it.

Also, for my own Heart Gold Wedlocke, I beat Red back late in August, but I didn't post it because I couldn't from the double post rule, but I will now.

Heart Gold Wedlocke, Update #7 - Final Update

Spoiler:
After defeating Blue, I went to Cerulean Cave and did some stuff there, then to Route 28 and Mt. Silver. Afterwards, I found all the remaining Rare Candies in the game. I did a lot of training off of Pokégear rematches, especially Hiker Kenny on Route 13, who gave 7k EXP per fight. I got my entire team to Level 78, using the majority of Rare Candies on Maracas since I figured he would be the hardest to train given he's not very strong and his attacks don't provide much coverage.

Once all my preparations were done (also, I never want to go Rock Smashing for Heart Scales in Johto ever again), it was time to scale Mt. Silver and take on Red. I began with Triangle and Panflute.

Pikachu was first up. Iron Tail did less than half, but I OHKO'ed him with Earth Power.

Lapras was afterwards. His Body Slam didn't do much, but my Grass Knot did enough for a 2HKO thanks to the Expert Belt.

But then he went to Venusaur, which was terrible. I had to go to Triangle, who, surprisingly, was faster than him and got in Captivate to cut his Special Attack. Long story short, I ended up using all three of my healing items for these two on her, but I got in Stealth Rock, along with a Special Defense drop from Earth Power and was left below half after Frenzy Plant, allowing me to kill him while he had to recharge.

Lapras came out again, and he healed after taking Stealth Rock damage. But Grass Knot was a 2HKO, once again hardly taking anything from Body Slam.

Snorlax was next, and took SR damage before taking a nice chunk from Triangle's Superpower. Unfortunately, both of them died. I had Maracas set up Toxic Spikes, then he missed with Giga Impact - which, ironically, I didn't want to happen, because then he would have had to recharge and been unable to heal again. But he healed, and Bug Bite actually didn't do too bad. He froze me with Blizzard though, but I healed and then got in Light Screen, and then a few more hits finished him off.

Charizard took half his health from Stealth Rock, used Flare Blitz against Marimba for some reason and then died to Waterfall.

Blastoise was the last one up. He got badly poisoned from Toxic Spikes, and right off the bat froze me again. After another turn of being frozen, I healed, and took one more Blizzard following that and he was low enough to the point where Earthquake would kill him after all those rounds of Toxic damage, and hail. That won me the battle, and thus, the challenge.

Here was my final team:

Also, I might be changing my Hoenn game to Emerald, I have copies of all three games (Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald) with me, but sadly my Emerald version has its internal battery run dry. If I had a good Emerald ROM for a MacBook I think I would use that, but alas, I don't. I haven't decided yet, though.
