Challenge #2: Pokémon Platinum Duo-Species Challenge: "The Emperor of Sinnoh"

As my second Bingo challenge, I have chosen the Sinnoh Duo-Species Challenge. I dedided to go with Empoleon and Alakazam as my team.

Empoleon, nicknamed Emperor - I received him as a Starter Pokémon.
Alakazam, nicknamed Magician - I caught it on Route 203.

The beginning was extremely tough, mainly because Radon's Turtwig (Radon is how I named my rival) was using Withdraw to get +6 Defense, and Bubble was NVE. I was forced to attack with Pound and minimize damage dealt by opponent with Growl.

After I caught Magician, I had to switch-train it until it could evolve into Kadabra. It evolved shortly after defeating the Oreburgh Gym. Its main drawback at the beginning was complete lack of coverage, as he had only Confusion. As a result, he had problems with the Galactic Commanders, as they use Dark-types. It got some coverage after the Eterna Gym, first with Grass Knot from Gardenia, and later with Shock Wave shortly before Veilstone.

After that, the game got easy, mainly because I was overleveled and both Emperor and Magician had good type coverage. Even the Elite Four was pretty easy.

This was my 1st complete Sinnoh playthrough. Previously, I didn't have much knowledge about Sinnoh, so sometimes I had to look at the walkthroughs. I was also sometimes getting lost in the dungeons, especially in Mt. Coronet, Distortion World, and the Victory Road. Nevertheless, I'm content about this run, and I'm looking forward for the next challenge.

Yes, thank you! This will be my Bingo card and I'm looking forward to starting the first one! If I understood correctly you don't have to do them all in one run but you can combine multiple, right?

You can only do one challenge per run.

I love your bingo card's design, btw.

Bingo Challenge: Kanto - Monotype Poison
Spoiler:
- Started the game and got Seed, the Bulbasaur.

- Got Beeyonce the Weedle on Viridan Forest. It evolved into Kakuna before I even left Viridian Forest.

- Brock was as easy as you'd expect when you started with Bulbasaur.
Badges: 1 / 8

- Beeyonce evolved into her final form two wilds after Brock.

- I got Monarch the Nidoran Male on Route 3.

- I got Batman the Zubat on Mt. Moon.

- After an uneventful crossing, we managed to Seed to evolve into Ivysaur.

- Much like Brock, Misty was also pretty easy.
Badges: 2 / 8

- Beating the rival on Nugget Bridge was a much more complicated endeavour, still, it managed to let us evolve Monarch all the way to Nidoking, so yay!

- After getting to Bill, we get access to the Dig TM which means two things: Nidoking has a decent move, and Surge is screwed.

- Batman evolved during the S. S. Anne run. The rival was easy enough to deal with this time around.

- Ironically enough, I didn't even use Monarch for Surge. I just used the Sleep Powder + Leech Seed combo from Seed.
Badges: 3 / 8

- Rival at Lavender was simple enough to deal with - although it wasn't a complete curbstomp.

- Between Beeyonce and Batman, Erika was a joke.
Badges: 4 / 8

- I took the opportunity to get some useful TMs in the Department Store, so yay!

- Giovanni was easy enough to beat in the Game Corner. And doing so allowed us to evolve Seed.

- The PokéFlute was easy enough to obtain, letting us proceed to Fuchsia.

- Batman and Beeyoncé helped us deal with the Psychic trainers in Koga's gym while Koga was a mess. Muk got Minimize spam with two Hyper Potions. Urrrgh.

Although to be fair, my average level was like 36 while he had one Level 39 and a Level 43 so, yeah. Gotta get some levels up before Sabrina, lol.

Badges: 5 / 8

- When dealing with the dojo, Batman tries to evolve. So, due to the magic of editing, means he did.

- Silph Co. Rival was pretty easy actually. Neither was Silph Co. Giovanni.

- Beeyonce killed everyone except Venomoth, who was promptly killed by Seed.
Badges: 6 / 8

- Blaine's Arcanine was ... a bit annoying but eventually I managed to whittle it down with Sleep Powder + Leech Seed of all things.
Badges: 7 / 8

- Seed took care of every one of Giovanni's Pokémon. And we finally get Earthquake which is very nice.
Badges: 8 / 8

- The last rival battle before the E4 was actually pretty smooth for once. I had an answer for everything he sent for once.

- After that, we have the Victory Road and one last grinding session.

- Beeyonce took care of Jynx and Seed took care of everybody else Lorelei had.

- Seed took care of Bruno's Onix and Batman took care of the fighting types.

- Batman took care of Agatha's Ghosts and Monarch took care of Golbat and Arbok.

- A combination of Seed and Monarch took care of Lance.

- Monarch took care of Pidgeot and Charizard, Beeyonce took care of Alakazam and Exeggutor, Seed took care of Rhydon and Gyarados.

Game end.

@Janp Hey, could you help me understand the In-Order challenge. Am I only to use the starter than the next five, or, can I select a pokemon then use the ones after it? I am thinking of doing multiple teams, somehow, don't know yet.
oh, also, made this, will use it for all 4 and will do similar ones for each region, with some sort of symbol.

I'm pretty sure you can pick the first Pokémon to start the chain, as long as you get it before your 3rd badge. While I don't think Janp has explicitly said that's the case, there have been people doing it that way for a while now without any explicit complaints, I think.

(Also, Janp has said before you can use National Dex order if you want, in case that sweetens the deal for you.)
