5 Year Challengeversary!
 

5 years ago, Pokemon General Gaming was flooded with challenge threads. Threads which didn't really belong there, threads that encourages playing as opposed to discussion. Threads that stretched Pokemon as we know it into new forms and shapes. 5 years ago, those threads were gathered up, and moved into a new home. A home that we have all come to know and love as the Challenges Forum. It may not be the most popular forum, but it's ours. And so, I present to you, a retrospective in the form of a Challenge, built on the pieces of Challenges before it. The Anniversary Challenge, or

Challengeversary!

Da Rules:
1. This challenge is to be played on a main series Pokemon game. If you think you can play the challenge on one of the Gamecube RPGs, those are acceptable as well.
2. No hacking or trading, except where otherwise stated. You may trade for Pokemon that would be otherwise unobtainable in your game, however.
3. You must start the game of your choice from the beginning.
4. In order to complete the challenge, you must complete the Challenge Scavenger Hunt, a series of mini challenges. This can be done post game or during the story.
5. This challenge will end on July 7th, 2015 at Midnight US Pacific time.

Happy five years to my favorite forum on PC! When I started modding it five years ago today, I had no idea that it would soon become my favorite area of the forum and that such a great community would come out of it. <3 Like Necrum said, it may not be the most popular area on PC, but I'd say we're one of, if not THE, friendliest areas on PC. Thanks to everyone for making it happen! :)

Okay, I'll quit being sappy lol. I will come back and edit with my team choices. Still deciding. :)

Happy 5th anniversary, Challenge forums! I know I'm not here a lot, but 5 years is a long time. I think it deserves the celebration. :D

I'll pick a team when I know what to bring. Probably bringing some eggs over from my copy of Platinum or HG. Also, I need to confirm my best friend's other favorite Pokemon since I don't have a Torchic on Gen 4 right now haha. ._."

Username: DyingWillFlareon
Game: Crystal
Favorite Challenge: Random Pokemon, and Randomized Nuzlocke!

Green and Gold- Meganium of course. :P -is too sappy to not use a starter-
Valentine- I'll ask my sister in the morning. She said Smeargle.
Fishy- Vaporeon.
Challegg- The random egg that has a chance to be 8 different Pokemon/higher shiny rate you know the one.
Challoweenie- Scizor. Wanted to use Tyranitar buuutt.... >.> no blade moves...
[REDACTED]- Love what you did there. Anyhow, I was thinking Togetic, it reminds me of a bunny rabbit, but I dunno if you guys agree. Also, would Metronome count as risky for being able to self-destruct? .-. If it doesn't count I'll find something.

jdthebud June 2nd, 2015 6:04 PM

any chance we can hack for evolutions that happen after the Champion? Really would like to get a Shiny Stone to evolve Togekiss before the Elite Four.

Update 2 (Vermillion City - Fuschia City)

Well this update was a total clusterfuck but I did it.

Spoiler:
-Got Bicycle, and picked up the other two starters just because I wanted to.
-Pikachu learned Thunderbolt at level 26, wut? Of course, I'm playing Yellow so no Raichu for me :c
-Got to Lavender Town 5 hours later. Rock Tunnel sucks and I hate it.
-Bought a bunch of TMs at the Celadon Store, including Take Down for Nidoking. I'll probably replace it with Double-Edge later.
-Wasted another two hours getting the jackpot in the game corner.
-Evolved Ivysaur into Venusaur while in the Rocket Hideout.
-Got Silph Scope.
-Caught a Cubone at Pokémon Tower, traded it for the Machoke on Route 5.
-Did the Pokémon Tower proper, got Poké Flute.
-Got the Snorlax on Silence Bridge.
-Got Super Rod, caught a Goldeen with it. Evolved it into Seaking soon after.
-Caught a Scyther and Dratini at the Safari Zone.
-Beat Koga. (Barely, why does he have a level 50 venomoth)
-Revived Kabuto on Cinnabar Island.
-Used the Mew Glitch to get a Magmar... At level 7. (yes this is possible)
-Beat Erika after a grinding Magmar a bit.


More glitching, yay! I got the special stat of the pokémon I was using slightly wrong the first time and accidentally unleashed missingno. on the world, whoops. I would've caught it but the game froze on encounter :c

Started off with my super fresh and green Treecko, Verdigris. He later became fresher and evolved into Grovyle. Gyo the Bagon proved annoying to hatch, but at least she's here. A little hard to raise, but she'll be a beautiful rampaging butterfly someday. AppleBunny traveled a long journey from the beautiful Unova and is finally getting a chance to shine. I knew that saving that Liberty Garden Victini would be useful someday...plus it's a favorite of mine...and a bunny...it totally is a bunny. Anyway, with Verdigris and Gyo, I made it past Roxanne with relative ease. AppleBunny joined afterwards when we landed in Dewford where we're currently training to take on Brawly. Not much else to say there! Unfortunately, the next party member won't be joining us until we're nearing six badges. Ugh. I did this to myself, though.

Update 2

Spoiler:

So i decided Lugia would be too cheap and ended up picking another friend's Fav pokemon instead, Quilava (which i've been informed i can evolve into typhlosion)
caught bidoof slave, went through floaroma town
VS Mars
Not difficult for slightly overlevelled Grotle with Curse and Razor Leaf. the zubat scared me with toxic almost KOing me towards the end but i had about 10 HP left upon beating purugly.
went on up and skipped most of the trainers. caught buneary in Eterna forest. went back to floaroma town and then back to the route between windworks and eterna forest to beat the previously skipped trainers for some EXP. also swept the forest with buneary.
did some "Tinkering" and got myself a Cyndaquil also caught a buizel (you'll see why in a moment) grinded cyndaquil against the gym and then
VS Gardenia
new Quilava cleared out cherubi and turtwig while grotle beat roserade after a couple of curses and some bites. not difficult
traded buizel to some kid for a chatot (one scavenger challenge done, also future flyslave) got the explorer kit did some digging underground and after about 10 min found a skull fossil. went through the galactic building
http://i.imgur.com/SLhHcq6.png
VS Jupiter
She's normally a hell of a lot tougher. zubat went down after a couple of quick attacks from buneary. Skuntank took quilava's ember like a monster and crushed it with night slash. grotle was my only hope and thankfully after 2 curses night slash wasnt doing much, she didnt use screech or smokescreen as much as she usually does which was a plus. a few tackles later and it was down
got my bike, went down cycling road and got to oreburgh city again. revived skull fossil into cranidos and boxed forever more.

Challenge Journal Entry
Beginning - Violet City

Started off with Chikorita as planned, and trained it to a decent level before getting the pokedex/battling against the RIVAL for the first time. After all the craziness, I finally managed to get my bred vulpix from my silver game, and trained it a little bit before setting off to Violet city!

Battled a bunch of trainers for experience, and then searched around until I found a Bellsprout, since there's a boy in Violet City who will want a bellsprout for an Onix, just so that I can do a in-game trade! Then I went to the sprout tower to train Chikorita and Vulpix a bit, got the HM, aand then headed off to the Gym.

It wasn't as tough as I thought since Reflect and Poison Powder from Chikorita was really amazing against his level 9 Pidgeotto, and poof, got the badge! Then it was off to the pokemon center to grab the pokemon egg from the aide.

Jump Kick is exactly the kind of move I had in mind.

MachoPony June 5th, 2015 10:41 AM

i dont think Diamond has any Non-Legendary interactable pokemon. does rotom count?

Update 3

Spoiler:

Went onwards to hearthome, stomped rival. got good rod, went back to route before hearthome and fished for Kangxi the Barboach
trained up all my pokes evenly though focused on Kangxi on the way to veilstone. trained Quilava at the gym
VS Maylene
Grotle took down the meditite and machoke, the lucario was the problem. thought Quilava could handle it but nope, outsped, force palm, parahax.
didnt risk buneary dying (that thing's happieness is hard enough to raise) so i sent in barboach, which promptly met the same fate and missed a mud bomb.
leave it to grotle and her ever so useful Curse/Razor leaf to shine through and take it down.
went on to pastoria. beating all the trainers. got to the gym and trained up barboach. evolved into whiscash. taught Zen Headbutt through move tutor
VS Crasher Wake
clean sweep for grotle. got a curse on gyarados before he swaggered me, some confusehax and moomoo milks later and it was down. took an ice fang easily with +1 DEF and Razor Leaf straight up OHKOd. Quagsire used tail whip and Razor Leaf OHKOd again.
went to great marsh, caught bibarel HM slave and caught a Croagunk for my daily pokemon (i did not know that thing was one of the daily pokes in diamond. i've played platinum too much)

Challenge Journal Entry
Azalea Town - Eckruteak City

Sooo, after getting the first badge, it was time to head to the next, but first, needed to get past the Union cave. Easy enough, with Chikorita soon evolving during the way! Soon Azalea Town was within reached. Talked with the pokemon maker Kurt, where I followed him to the Slowpoke Well to stop TEAM ROCKET. After all of that, it was time to battle the gym, where again, Vulpix destroyed all, earning the HIVE BADGE!

In Goldenrod City, I traded for my Marill from Silver, and trained it until it evolved into a Azumarill, since it evolved at a pretty low level anyway. Togepi hatched from the egg, and it surprisingly took little time to evolve it, but from the hair cuts and giving it some items, it managed to! Anywho, went to the gym, defeated Whitney at her own game with Azumarill's Defense Curl + Rollout Combo. Earned the PLAIN BADGE!

In Eckruteak, the Gym was tougher because the ghost types were fast but after Bayleef evolved to Meganium, he just tanked all the ghost hits and retaliated in strong kind, earning the FOG BADGE!

Update #1 on HeartGold.

Name: Jd
Rival: Silver
Starter: Chikorita
  • Started with Banker the Chikorita. He evolved into Bayleef after beating Sprout Tower, so Falkner wasn't too difficult.
  • Did the Bellsprout for Onix trade.
  • Got the egg and ran around to hatch it, and out popped Cell the Togepi!
  • While Rock Smashing in the Ruins of Alph, I got 2 Helix Fossils and 2 Old Ambers!
  • Moved down through Union Cave and defeated Team Rocket at Slowpoke Well, then fought Bugsy.
  • Bugsy's Scyther was hard to defeat but I prevailed thanks to poison and numerous potions.
  • Went through Ilex Forest to Goldenrod City, then went north to catch Nidoran♂, who I named Redact.
  • While I was waiting for Saturday to roll around, Redact evolved into Nidorino, and Cell evolved into Togetic!
  • Saturday was Bug Catching Contest day, and I won the contest with Hacker the Scyther.
  • Did some more training, then took on the gym. Whitney was surprisingly easy since Miltank missed 2 Rollouts.
  • Moved north and caught Sudowoodo to complete that task, then arrived in Ecruteak City.
  • Decided it was time to get my valentine Pokémon, who is Snorlax. So I headbutted some trees and a Munchlax magically fell out.
  • Named him Okey after my brother's online handle, and then I went all the ay home to deposit all my money with Mom.
  • Sure enough, the next courier in the Poké Mart gave me a Moon Stone, and I used it to evolve Redact in to Nidoking!
  • Back in Ecruteak City, I went to the Burned Tower to beat Silver and release the beasts.
  • The gym was up next, and Morty was really easy after Gengar ran out of Sucker Punch. Cell's Extrasensory ruled here.
  • I am now saved on Route 38, on my way to Olivine City.

Update 5

Spoiler:

Went to lake valor training riolu up more
VS Saturn
Kadabra was easy enough for lopunny, typhlosion took down bronzor and Torterra took out toxicroak
went to lake verity
VS Mars
Bronzor was easy for typhlosion, Golbat went down to Lopunny and Riolu scored the kill on Purugly. and evolved into Lucario
went on to snowpoint, caught sneasel on the way taught it X scissor and shadow claw and replaced faint attack with new Hail TM kept fury swipes. learned Slash later which replaced Fury Swipes.
VS Candice
was planning to let Lucario sweep through for EXP but medicham put a damper on that. thankfully torterra was able to take it down with earthquake. Typhlosion handled the rest.
saw barry get his butt kicked. went to galactic HQ
VS Cyrus
not hard. swept with Sneasel slashing Golbat and Murkrow and X Scissoring his Sneasel.
VS Saturn
Sneasel took out kadabra. and bronzor with some crits. Torterra finished Toxicroak
went through Mt Coronet levelling sneasel some more
VS Saturn and Mars
Lucario did as much damage as it could before being confusehaxed and flamethrowered to death while Barry's munchlax did nothing. sent out Torterra to finish off the Skuntank, and Munchlax (thank god). he brought out Infernape (actually useful) which took down golbat with assist from Torterra, then took down Mars's bronzor, and golbat (again assist from Torterra) before OHKOing Purugly with Close Combat. guess Barry isnt completely useless.
VS Cyrus
Lucario fought honchkrow till he switched for gyarados. i switched for torterra and after a couple of curses. razor leaf OHKOd. stayed in hoping to tank a hit from weavile but ice punch KOd me. lucario OHKOd back with Aura Sphere then took honchkrow to the red. he healed it up and finished me with a Crit Drill Peck. leave it to Lopunny to end it with Return. Crobat was his last pokemon and after some BS hax i barely dented it before lopunny died, Typhlosion finished the job nicely.

Update 6

Spoiler:

Masterballed dialga since idrc about it
went to sunnyshore trained Whiscash at gym
VS Volkner
Torterra had a field day with raichu and octillery and luxray. Lucario finished off Ambipom.
got waterfall taught to Whiscash, went to victory road. decided to do some training now rather than later (i was in the low 40s) grinded everyone to level 45-47 (sneasel and typhlosion at Snowpoint City, Lopunny and her new Charge Beam at the route before sunnyshore. same with Torterra. Lucario and Whiscash at the entrance to Victory Road)
Got through victory road. went back and got Blizzard TM For lopunny (secret weapon). also had a spare heart scale from my previous digging for Fossils and taught newly evolved Weavile night slash. on the way back swung by Lake Valor and caught Azelf after about 20 timer balls.
VS Barry
Staraptor went down to typhlosion easily, floatzel was easy for torterra. infernape was fairly easy for whiscash, took a close combat and Earthquaked back. next came roserade which typhlosion handled easily, heracross ate a flamethrower and died. leaving Lucario to finish off Snorlax.
E4 Time
VS Aaron
Typhlosion sweep. literally typhlosion sweep. Torterra nearly took down drapion but ice fang crit. Typhlosions swept em all.
VS Bertha
Replace typhlosion with whiscash. Torterra took out the initial Quagsire and incoming Whiscash but then my Whiscash took out her Golem, Hippowdon and Sudowoodo
VS Flint
Whiscash took out the rapidash and after a fierce fight with infernape ending in a Mach Punch crit. it died. Typhlosion took a chunk with strength and flamethrower finished it. weavile fought hard against drifblim before he swapped for lopunny. Lucario took it down to yellow with aura sphere then ate a fire punch crit and died. typhlosion saves the day again by flamethrowering it and OHKOing steelix. lastly weavile came in again and finished drifblim.
VS Lucian
Weavile took down Mr Mime with a pair of Night Slash. Medicham OHKOd torterra with ice punch then kept spamming fire punch on whiscash for some reason, eventually i took it to yellow and he finally used drain punch to finish me off. leave it to typhlosion to save the day. a couple of flamethrowers put away bronzong and weavile 2HKOd girafarig and took a crunch, then he missed focus blast with Alakazam and night slash took about half. energy ball took me to yellow and a second night slash finished Alakazam.
VS Cynthia
Damn this was tough. as she always is
Weavile night slashed spiritomb for a crit and some good damage. got 2HKOd by silver wind. Torterra finished with Crit Earthquake. lucario was next and i took a dragon pulse well and took him to red with an EQ. she healed and an EQ crit finished it off. milotic took me down with ice beam leaving me in a bit of a bind. lucario got some DEF drops with rock smash allowing lopunny to come in and finish with jump kick followed by return. then the big kahuna himself. Garchomp.
Shredded my team down to the last. i was reviving between pokes hoping for SOMETHING to happen, did hit an aura sphere on it one time when it used giga impact. then i got my break. it finished lucario with giga impact and lopunny came in. blizzard hit. and got Freeze! sitrus berry, blizzard took it down again, return did a chunk to make sure she didnt heal it, and a third blizzard finished it off. revived torterra and OHKOd gastrodon with razor leaf. foddered torterra and lopunny reviving Typhlosion as roserade took em down with Sludge bomb, and a quick Flamethrower finished roserade and ended the battle. but MAN was that hard. and i'm not done yet. still got some scavenger challenges to do

Can I randomly generate an egg or something? Or breed a random couple? I cannot trade since I am playing on an emulator and there are no eggs you receive in this game.

5. Challoween/Haunter and the Carnival of Horrors - The Slasher
Scyther or Parasect- not sure if Parasect would count.

6. Five Nights at Challenges - [REDACTED]
Would spinda count? XD It looks like a rabbit to me - or an azumarill - that is if I can hack either of them in - if not I am not sure which would be the rabbit like pokemon in FR/LG games O.o

waters_echo June 12th, 2015 5:59 PM

AoTora, I'd say that the "RBGY users may use a Pokemon who received a baby form in future games." applies in FRLG, considering the need to have beaten the League to access the only egg in the game (AND the daycare), and... I dunno, but maybe wigglytuff counts as a rabbit with those ears?

-~-~-
Basically Done

Trainer: Ichos
Badges: Zephyr, Hive, Plain, Fog, Glacier, Mineral, Storm, Rising
League
Volcano, Marsh, Soul, Rainbow, Thunder, Cascade, Boulder, Earth
League
Red
Tasks:
- Catch a stationary non-legendary Pokemon (Gyarados)
- Win a Bug Catching Contest (Hallow)
- Complete an in-game trade (BillRobert the Abra for MUSCLE the Machop)(I do not know who Bill Roberts is or what possessed us to decide to name the abra we were going to trade that)
- Catch a non-mandatory Legendary Pokemon without a Master Ball (uh... does suicune count in Crystal? It's more like a sidequest. We used an Ultra Ball)(also raikou)
- Defeat the Elite Four + Champion: 18/18 (Johto, League, Kanto, Red)
- Raise a Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon to its final stage (Dragonite)
- Catch a Roaming Pokemon (much running around training Dini later... then lots more running around later)(Raikou)
- working on the jackpot, and technically cheating at it, but even with our file saved with two sevens obtained and the game running quarter speed we've been at it for over ten minutes that's how adamant the game is about not letting people win quiet crying

Challenge complete!

Final Update (#2) on HeartGold.

  • Arrived at Olivine City, where I grabbed the God Rod, and used it to hook Fishy the Chinchou.
  • Trained up in the Lighthouse, then surfed over to Cianwood City, and on the way, Fishy evolved into Lanturn!
  • Defeated Eusine pretty easily, then took on the gym. Chuck wasn't really a pushover but I dealt with him without much trouble.
  • Got the Fly HM, then went to Mahagony Town and up to Lake of Rage, where I killed Gyarados.
  • Lance showed up and invited me on a Team Rocket crushing mission, so I of course tagged along.
  • Went back to the Olivine Gym and OHKOed all Jasmine's Pokémon with Fishsy's Surf.
  • Then it was back to Pryce's gym, where both Okay and Banker evolved, then I defeated Pryce with them.
  • The Team Rocket Radio Tower takeover commenced, and I quickly got through that no problem.
  • Went to the Pokéathlon and won the Power Medal with Redact, Hacker, and Banker.
  • Then I got myself a Shiny Stone from the ether and used it to evolve Cell into Togekiss!
  • Went to Blackthorn City, and after beating all the trainers on the mountain road, defeated Clair at the gym.
  • After getting the Rising Badge in Dragon's Den, I got the Masterball from Elm, then defeated the Kimono Girls in Ecruteak.
  • Scaled the Bell Tower and Masterballed Ho-oh, then made my way to the Pokemon League, defeating Silver along the way.
  • After some moveset editing and such, I took on the Elite Four. Claire was the only real tough one of the four.
  • Lance was really tough since I was underleveled by 8-10 levels. I eventually prevailed with a liberal use of healing items, though.
  • Back home, I got the S.S. Ticket and sailed to Kanto to complete the remainder of my tasks.
  • First, I got the Super Rod, then flew back to the Dragon's Den to fish up a L40 Dratini.
  • Started using him on various trainers to get him into a Dragonite, and eventually did just that!
  • Then I caught Suicune with an Ultra Ball after several tries.
  • My last task was to revive a Fossil, so I nabbed Aerodactyl in Pewter City, and the challenge is complete.

I'm going to put a quick update here. I started a bit belated because I had to figure out how to get both Lotad and Zangoose in one game and breeding a male Lapras took way too long.

Progress:

The game feels like a solorun up to this point, as I've only used Patty yet (which made beating Roxanne really easy), but I just caught a Marill. The egg doesn't seem willing to hatch though.

Brawly is a piece of cake when you have a Victini...and a Bagon...and a Grovyle...let's face it, ORAS Brawly is not as difficult as RSE Brawly. Didn't take much effort. After realizing that the other half of my team wouldn't come til about 5 badges in, I caught Poisson the Goldeen to fill in until I can get that Finneon I wanted. Who knows? I might keep it for good. We'll see. After getting the lil fishie to catch up with everyone else, we took on Wattson...another failure compared to his RSE self. But what can ya do? Smashed some rocks and we're off to see what's going on at Mt. Chimney. Also I'm trying to bum rush this.

Necrum June 24th, 2015 11:06 AM

So since a fair number of us aren't looking like we're gonna be done before the end of the month, do you guys want me to extend this challenge?

MachoPony June 26th, 2015 3:59 AM

up to you, tbh i'm surprised so few people actually finished i mean i did it in like 3-4 days (granted i have no life and spend too much time gamign but thats nitpicking)

Lycanthropy June 27th, 2015 1:24 AM

An extension would be appreciated because I don't think I'm going to make it. One week would be enough for me, allowing me to focus on my exams first and finish the challenge next weekend.

If you choose to extend the challenge would you still accept sign ups?

I'm fine with an extension. I didn't have as much time as I thought I would earlier in the month due to work and a vacation, but now I kinda got laid off so I've had all the time in the world this past week that I spent playing other Pokemon games, but I could bum rush. :P Attempting it as I type this, actually.

Mini update: Since my other challenge had me playing Yellow yesterday, a game I've already completed, I spent most of the day blazing through this challenge and made it from the Jagged Pass all the way to Route 120, where I'm leveling up my latest party member, Absol. I'll probably squeeze in some play time tonight maybe, but my game for today for my other challenge is Silver and that one isn't done (actually recently restarted) sooooooo...

Anyway, my whole team is level 41 except for Absol, who is at 38.

BugBoyTroy June 29th, 2015 11:14 AM

Okay, I'll extend the deadline by one week. But I recommend finishing asap, as there is going to be a GT challenge event as well, and you wouldn't want to burn yourself out!

Sydian June 30th, 2015 3:34 PM

Definitely not playing OmegaRuby for the GT one. I don't know what it is about gen VI games, but I have the hardest time replaying them. :/

Quick update on the E4:
Will: Scizor and Lanturn completely devastated him together.
Koga: Wigglytuff with Fire Punch and Scizor for Muk and Crobat
Bruno: Meganium using Reflect, his Machamp was tricky, had to paralyze him with Lanturn, but he kept getting criticals, until Scizor finally killed him.
Karen: Never been challenging, just swapped in the proper Pokemon to every of hers.
Then used all my Rare Candies and evolved Dragonair into Dragonite and murdered Lance with Dragonite's Ice Punch.

Necrum July 7th, 2015 12:11 PM

I've been so busy that I don't think I'm gonna finish this. I would be closer but then I forgot my charger in town a couple days ago. Gonna see how far I can get today.

Sydian July 8th, 2015 11:46 AM

I'm probably not going to finish this. I don't know what it is about gen VI games, but I just...don't enjoy playing them very much. :/ It's hard for me to just get engrossed in them and play for more than an hour like I can with older games.

Anyway though, since it looks like a lot of us are not going to finish, if those of you that didn't finish would still like a Swablu, I'd be more than happy to trade one to you. My FC is in the 3DS postbit if you hover over it. If you see me online here on PC, then I'm likely available to trade with you, so just shoot me a message. :) I don't mind doing nicknames as well provided you ask when you message me about receiving your Swablu. I won't give away certain genders or natures though, sorry.

Thanks to everyone that participated, whether you finished or not! You're all a part of what makes this section great and kept it around for five years. I hope I'll still be here in five more years to celebrate another major milestone. :) Everyone go give Azazel a pat on the back for setting this event up. And thanks again for letting me plan this with you, Necrum. :)

PS: Everyone go play the GT event now. ;)

Wattson was hard, like really hard. The only Pokémon I had at that point were Marill and Lombre (and an egg). All of Patty's moves weren't very effective on Magnemite and Magneton (Absorb, Astonish, Fake Out and Swift (Nature Power)). I had to grind by beating level 13 wild Pokémon and raised Jonnie to a level 28 Azumarill whose Bubblebeam was pretty useful, along Patty in lv32. Still it wasn't easy, but I managed to beat him using a super potion, paralyze heal and a quick claw on Jonnie.
It went a lot easier for a while then. Matthew (Torkoal) joined the party at the Fiery Path, followed by Slasher (Zangoose) on Route 114 and the hatching of Junior (Larvitar), who didn't have any attacks until level 23 in which she learned Rock Slide. (I chain bred Dragon Dance from Kingdra via Lapras and Rain Dance and Protect came along). In troublesome situations the high-leveled Jonnie and Patty could assist. With two strong water types, Flannery was a piece of cake to beat. Norman wasn't very hard either. Instead of using my whole team, I decided to make Matthew spam Curse in the double amount of turns thanks to Slaking's Truant, use one healing item and finish all Norman's Pokémon with Body Slam.
The ability to surf outside enabled it to get a good rod and catch my last team member, Fishy the Barboach. Winona didn't provide any trouble at all. I skipped the Gym and went to Lilycove City first, on the way back, Matthew learned Flamethrower and Fishy and Junior evolved into Whiscash and Pupitar respectively.
You wouldn't expect Tate and Liza to give any trouble to a team that has three Pokémon knowing Surf in it. Well, think again. Solrock knows Sunny Day. I wouldn't have made it (without using medicines) if Junior didn't know Rain Dance to counter it. Patty's Swift Swim came in handy too.
I continued the story, wrecked Team Magma, captured a Groudon (named it Force), beat Wallace and passed through the Victory Road. The Elite Four wasn't easy, Phoebe's Dusclops were really annoying. It would've been a lot easier if I were allowed to learn Shadow Ball to Slasher, but it doesn't count as a blade move. Glacia was easy, Slasher can use Swords Dance twice and use Slash to one-hit her first three Pokémon. The shell bell heals damage nicely and allow another use of Swords Dance against the second Glalie. After that Walrein can't survive a Slash either. The same worked for Drake, but I used Junior's Dragon Dance instead (Shelgon is too occupied with using Rock Tomb and protect to actually damage her). Steven requires some medicines to beat, but I used the same tactic, but with Matthew's Curse and Amnesia. Building up defense needs to full restores to get rid of the toxic poison Skarmory gives and one hyper potion is used later on. This worked fine if it wasn't for Cradily, which raised all of its stats twice with Ancient Power, but a retry made me Champion.

Some of the tasks were easy, some weren't. Reviving a fossil, catching Kecleon, building a secret base and in-game trading didn't take much effort. I caught Rayquaza on the fourth try, but none of the battles were really long, as my Pokémon have terrible levels compared to the legendary dragon. Junior still wasn't a Tyranitar upon entering the Hall of Fame, but rematching the Elite Four twice while she holds an experience share did the thing. Most problematic side quest was winning the contest. Jonnie has a decent moveset for tough contests, but I think I'm using the wrong berries for Pokéblocks. I fed him yellow blocks until he had enough and he only got five stars, while the opponents in Master Rank all have seven or eight. Anyway I won after some tries, but I don't really like contests, or at least not having to do them with a Pokémon suited for normal battles.

Lastly, thank you Azazel, for the event. I had fun playing it!
And thank you, Alli, for offering the Swablu. Sadly I don't have a 3DS, so I can't accept it, but I still appreciate the offer.

If anyone wants to post they have until I beat the Elite Four tonight (I will and need to finish this). I will count any completes before then. I am currently on Victory Road.

Necrum July 10th, 2015 9:26 AM

I beat the Elite Four!

Well the event is now over. I'll give out emblems within the week. Thank you all for playing! To five more years of Challenges!

I don't really know what you mean. The challenge ended. If you're wondering about the emblem, I have it made, I just haven't had time to sit down and give it out yet.
