UPDATE #2

I'm on a mission, and that is to complete my team. I originally wanted to get a full 6 member team, but since there's gonna be quite some flying around, I decided to make it 5 and catch a Tropius for HM Slave.

It's catching time. So I beat Team Aqua at the Weather Institute, defeat May and run straight past Fortree. I get past the invisible Kecleon, avoid as many trainers as possible to save them for later levelling, and climb Mt. Pyre. After a bit of searching, I catch my 4th comrade: GUERRERO the Meditite (Guerrero means warrior in Spanish).

I chose a Meditite/Medicham, simply because I never used it before. It has really poor stats, but Pure Power doubles it's attack, which during the run proved to be quite successful (at least, so far...).

The next pal is also one I never had as a teammate. I go all the way back to the Meteor Falls and find myself a Lunatone, which I simply call LUNA (Spanish for moon).

The plan was to catch an Aron now, but it's lack of wings changed this idea. So I trained everyone to an acceptable level, beat the Fortree gym, beat Team Aqua once again, crush the twins in Mossdeep and go through the whole Kyogre saga. Finally, I beat Wallace (even though I have 2 Grass types, the lack of Electric moves was quite noticeable).

Other events:
- BARRO evolved into a Swampert.
- FUENTE evolved, after exploring the Abandoned Ship, into a Ludicolo.
- GUERRERO evolved into a Medicham

Now, it's time to head for VR and the Hoenn League, train, and try to beat the E4.

UPDATE #3 - FINALE

After a few hours of training and grinding I challenged the E4. All my Pokemon are at level 50, here's how it went:

Sydney
I've got two fighters at a higher level...

Phoebe
Here I used both FUENTE and BARRO. Since I don't have any Dark or Ghost moves, it came down to simply brute force.

Glacia
I start with GUERRERO using Bulk Up, Glalie uses Light Screen. 5 Brick Breaks later, and it's over.

Drake
Same technique as with Glacia, but now with LUNA and (2x) Calm Mind. Although LUNA is slower than all but Shellgon, the raised Sp. Def. helps a lot. 5 Ice Beams later, and it's over.

Champion Steven
Now, this got a bit trickier. I start with BARRON against Skarmory. After 2 Waterfalls he swaps for Aggron, which is easily disposed of with 1 Earthquake. Next, Cradily, Armaldo, again Skarmory and Claydol, are stubborn, but when Steven is down to only Metagross, I still have BARRO (half HP), LUNA and SETA left. BARRO gets Metagross it's HP down to about 10, when Metagross uses Hyper Beam to finish of BARRO. He needs to recharge, so no healing. Anyone can finish it, I choose SETA. Because he restores with a berry I need a bit more force. Sky Uppercut: miss...

Steven uses Full Restore and... I lose...!!?

Well, that was unsuspected...

Let's try this again.

Sydney
See above

Phoebe
See above

Glacia
See above

Drake

Champion Steven

With a bit more knowhow about his team, I manage to beat Steven this time, and not even with too much trouble. Which means:

Challenge n?mero tres completo!!

SUON PLAYS BINGO
A SIGNATURE MOVE CHALLENGE ON PLATINUM
BINGO! challenges completed: 3/20

UPDATE #1

Since I'm pretty unfamiliar with the games from Gen4 and onward, I start of with doing
some research. And after going through the Pokedex, Pokemon locations and movepools, I have made my decision...

Normally I let faith decide my starter, but this time I choose for myself. I pick WUGUI the Turtwig (wugui is Chinese for turtle).

Now, I'm going to assume that the rules about The Move commence when the first POKEMON actually acquires this move, social just start the game as I normally would.

On route 202 I catch SHANDIAN the Shinx (shandian is Chinese for lighting).

In the Ravaged Path I catch BIANFU the Zubat (bianfu is Chinese for bat).

Figured out the move yet? Indeed, it's Bite...

I train my pocket monsters. BIANFU is the first to learn Bite at level 13, and therefore will be placed as first of the team until the others learn Bite as well.

It's not too hard. I start every battle with Bite, which causes flinching sometimes. Then I can swap or keep on fighting, as I desire. The first Gym, Roark, is defeated very easy like this. After a Bite from BIANFU, WUGUI finishes it off with 3 Razor Leaves. Also the second (Gardenia) and, especially, the third badge (Fantina) were easy peasy.

In Hearthome I get an Eevee as a present. I name him YANHUA (yanhua is Chinese for evolution). At level 29, he should learn Bite too. Until then, I don't think I can use it (correct me if I'm wrong), so I wrap the Exp. Share around his neck.

Talking about evolution:
- WUNGUI evolved in Grotle
- SHANDIAN evolved in Luxio
- BIANFU evolved in Golbat and, being the happy bat he is, in Crobat

Shauntal was not a problem. I led with Stoutland and crunched the hell out of Cofagrigus, poor mon did not have anything to hurt me. She fell easily to Golurk, though, but Azumarill handled it fine. Drifblim and Chandelure were no problem to Ampharos and Golduck.

Grimsley was the hardest of the four, with Scrafty being able to take 2 Moxies. Stoutland's critical Return saved me from the sweep, fortunately.

Caitlin was a laugh. 4 Calm Minds + Dark Pulse Lucario = piece of cake.

I had nothing strong against Marshal, honestly (only a Psychic type move in Golduck). But I brute forced him quite easily too.​

UPDATE #2 - FINALE

So I finished the challenge today. It was a pretty interesting run, one that took quite a while (48h27m...), but it was fun.

The main challenge was the lack of water and fire attacks. I chose my team, not only because they could all learn Bite, but also because I never really used any of them before (except Crobat). The final team?

First of all, I evolved WUGUI in a Torterra and SHANDIAN in a Luxray. Then, I forced happiness upon YANHUA and he evolved in an Umbreon. I've always been an offensive player and avoided defensive walls, so this was an interesting experience.

On route 217 I catch a female Snorunt and name her XUE (Xue is Chinese for snow). With a Heart Scale I teach it Bite, and then evolve it in a Froslass.

I beat Team Galactic, Giratina and all the Gym Leaders and challenge the E4 with levels around 52.

I get far, all the way to Champion Cynthia, but she proves to be too strong. Therefore, I train all my teammates to level 60 and try again.

Only Flint and Cynthia are difficult, the other E4 members are easy(ish). Against Flint I have to use pure force, since - except BIANFU against INFERNAPE - only WUGUI has an overall super effective move (you can see the issue here...). Cynthia has a well-balanced team, covering a lot of weaknesses against my team, but this time I am the strongest.
