No Move Left Behind Challenge

  • Petilil wants to learn a cruddy move! Should a badass move be replaced for a cruddy move? Sadly, yes. Yes it should. That's the idea behind this challenge: every move that comes your way must be learned by replacing whatever your oldest move is at the time the new one comes around. Through meticulous planning, one can make sure the best moves are at their disposal for the challenge -- or you can go head first and throw caution to the wind. How will you handle it?​

    The Rules
    1. When learning a new move, whatever the oldest move you have it, it must be deleted in favor of the new move. For example, if Torchic knows, by order of how moves were learned, Scratch, Growl, Ember, and Focus Energy, when it tries to learn Peck, Scratch would be discarded. When Double Kick comes next, Growl would be discarded. So on and so forth.
    2. Cheating/hacking in certain Pokemon is not allowed. As this challenge does not require a certain roster of party members, there's no reason for it.
    3. Trading is allowed for evolution items, Mega Stones, or to perform an evolution.
    4. HM slaves are required and cannot be used in battle.
    5. TMs, HMs and move tutors may not be on main party members. Move relearner moves, however, may be taught because they come from the Pokemon's natural learnset. However when learning one, your oldest move must be deleted. Plan accordingly!
    6. Exp Share can be used in gen VI -- but be careful. May end up getting you to a move you wouldn't want for whatever gym lies ahead.
    7. Legendaries are not allowed.
    8. Pokemon with small level-up movesets are not allowed (Unown, Smeargle, Wynaut, etc.)
    9. Challenge ends after defeating the Champion.

    So far, so good. That was actually my best run on Cheren. I normally always struggle with him. The team is probably going to shift at some point, mainly because I am not a huge fan of the Tepig line, but he does a good enough job for now. I haven't had to sacrifice anything really good so far, but I did have to give up Janna's Tackle for Cotton Spore, so...yeah. There's that. lol So her only attack is ThunderShock at the moment. But yeah, onto the next town! And I'm not looking forward to it because I friggin' hate the PokeStar Studio stuff. It's so agonizing.

    This is gunna be good..

    But what if the moves would make the Pokemon have no attacking moves? Do we just have to switch train one? Ive had Pokemon before that will learn a bunch of status moves in a row like Eevee, I just want to clarifiy if I just have to go ahead and switch train it for a while.

    You would have to switch train, correct. You can be meticulous about it and plan things out if you like, or you can just go in guns a'blazing and not take consideration as to what your Pokemon will learn. Just depends on how you want to play it. But the point still stands that you have to delete the oldest move for the newest each time one comes around.

    Yeah I knew Tepig wasn't gonna stay long. I had to get a puppy. He suits me better. I don't have much to say, though. Not a lot happened since the last update aside from swapping piggy for puppy haha.

    A fun run; everything went pretty much as planned, minus Champion Rival's Blastoise scoring a lucky hit or two. Hit a minor snag due to not realizing Body Slam would overwrite Water Gun on Lapras, but later recovered. Actually went better than some of my TM-abusing runs. :P

    Magnemite really pulled through in Roxie's gym. Completely forgot steel is immune to poison until I got in the battle. Happy with my team so far, this is my first time actually using the Tepig line so it's a nice change of pace from the usual Snivy. Whee. Now to think about my next team member..
