Update #3 for Platinum

I normally don't write anything before my plot and team updates but I just have to say, this gym battle was one of the funniest battle I've ever fought... it's worth a read IMO.

Thanks! Just realized the earliest one I'd be able to get is Spearow though, which would be well after the first gym. (Unless I'm wrong, but I believe I'd need headbutt to get it on earlier routes.) Any way you could re roll one of them to have one available before the first gym?

Starting my trip soon. If i could get a reroll on one of them to be available before the first gym, I'll go by that! If not, I'll just sub Pidgeot for Fearow since I can get pidgey immediately.

Umbreon is fine! I should have no issue with it.

Confirmed!

ElectricN · Feb 10, 2019

First update!

I'll start off by saying this will not be an easy team to acquire lol. Pidgey and Paras were simple enough, but it took me 20 Odd Eggs to get a Magby, Tauros is rare and only in the morning, and Laura's only appears on fridays.

But, been interesting so far. Pidgeotto has been a tank, in the early game, but paras has been underwhelming with its move pool.

Current team:

Pidgeotto Lvl 23
Tackle
Sand Attack
gust
quick attack

Paras Lvl 12
Scratch
Stun Spore

Magby Lvl 5
Ember
Leer
Dizzy Punch

Haven't done a challenge in a while, looking for a good excuse to run through 1st-4th gen.

Username: thenickel09
Game: Ruby
Number of Pokemon: 4
National Dex: Yes
Exclude NFEs: Yes
Restrictions: I'll be playing on an emulator so no trade evos, unless I am allowed to just hack in an evolutionary item and change the method in which it evolves (i.e. using a king's rock instead of trading w/ one)

I usually change trade evo via randomizer, but I don't hack in the evolutionary items unless they can't be obtained during normal playthrough. So here's your team. Enjoy and let me know if you need to re-roll something:

Second update! (Am doing these from my phone so I apologize for the lack of spoiled and sprites)

Just made it to Olivine! My team is shaping up pretty well, though I'm finding the move pool for them disappointing in Gen 2. Magmar has become my go to simply because he has more moves that aren't Normal.

Taurus is pretty sturdy so leveling him up is easy, Pidgeotto has lost its advantage that it had early on, but I expect it to return when it evolves, and Parasect is kinda challenging to use. It just had a lot of weaknesses, and it's best move is still scratch.

Excited to get Umbreon! Just need to go get my eevee, then sadly have to wait until Friday for Lapras (Gen 2 reaaaallly went crazy with the different times of day/day, I feel like every other mon is only available at some random portion of the week)

Current team:

Current team:

Pidgeotto Lvl 26 (F)
