ive only done one solo so far and that was with a super awesome heracross in soul silver. im really looking forward to having another solo (and level 100) pokemon under my belt. but i think this one will be A LOT harder.

pokemon: beautifly
game: sapphire

i chose mudkip as my starter to use as a slave and did the usual stuff at the beginning.
at first chance i caught a wurmple and luckily it evolved into a silicon.
the first gym was awful i tried it first when beautifly was lvl18 and was slaughtered in one hit from geodudes rock fall. after grinding up to lvl23 i tried again only to fall to nosepass. but as they say third time lucky and lucky i was, after breezing past geodude and ready for a struggle with nosepass but its attacks missed two times in a row and a couple of critical hits later i had one my first gym badge.

current location: dewford
pokemon: Alice the brave beautifly
lvl 24
tackle
mega drain
morning sun
gust

You are just blazing through this. o-o.

It's really easy with a Pokemon with above average HP, Special Attack, and Speed, and REALLY high Attack. I beat Red in about 6 minutes, the only thing holding me back was Snorlax's and Lapras' high HP.

For my news, I may do Emerald later, if I feel like it.

Joining this challenge. Did a duo-person challenge a couple years ago, would like to try a solo challenge.
Going to do this challenge with: Houndour (Houndoom - will evolve.)
Game: Emerald.

Pictures soon.

Update 1:
Spoiler:


Update 2:
Spoiler:


Update 3:
Spoiler:


CHALLENGE COMPLETED
I completed the elite 4 with a level 74 Houndoom solo. It was rather difficult. I forgot that the elite 4 had 2 trainers with water Pokemon - including the most powerful - Wallace. Some how I managed to do it though - I thought I would have to at least get maxed first! In total the elite 4 took ~30 max potions and 2 full restores.

Moveset for Skullfire:
Solar Beam
Flamethrower
Crunch
Sunny Day.

Any questions just ask. Also, can't post a picture because of the 15 posts rule.

Ooh, I've been waiting for this, the OP hasn't even updated to list my Weedle Solo yet. If u want I can help with it, i had surgery yesterday so ill be on the couch with my computer a lot. Also I had a funny thought today: The OP doesnt say anything about no legendaries. Are legendary solos allowed?

Got lucky on Bugsy and easily swept through Whitney. Got held up on Morty because of Curse ripping out a vicious 1/4 of my hp each turn and being forced to use the 1/2 power Razor Leaf on all of his pokemon. Currently going through and whoopin' on all of the trainers along the road to try and beef up My now-fully-evolved Meganium

Super Swablu Solo #3
I headed back to Petalburg City and challenged my Dad. After another challenging battle, I managed to beat Norman and I got the Balance Badge. I then headed back to Mauville City and surfed east. I then travelled north until I reached the Weather Institute. Team Magma was there and I quickly got rid of them.

On my way to Fortree City, I encountered Brandon and swept his team. He gave my HM02 and left. I then got the Devon Scope and challenged Winona. With the super-effectiveness from Ice Beam, I managed to defeat her, winning the badge.

Super Swablu!

I was gonna be productive and do my homework today, but we went to my grandma's house for what I thought would be a quick visit, and ended up staying until 8:30, and just got home around 10 minutes ago, so I made some pretty solid progress.
I beat Morty, but I got pretty lucky. I was I think around level 40. Which is pretty sad that I had to get lucky to beat him but anyways screw curse. Blazed through Chuck without a problem, Jasmine cut it pretty close with her steelix because I was parafused, but I pulled through in the end. The rockets didn't really present me with any challenge, and Pryce was easy because Razor Leaf was 2x on all of his pokemon. Clair was a pretty solid competitor, but no really close shaves.
I updated Meganium's set before the E4, which were pretty easy, but Lance tripped me up on my first go through with his level 50 Dragonite's Fire Blast. I was worried about PP the second run through because I had used 2 of my 3 Ethers and my Max Elixer, but I made it through with two Mystery berries and my last Ether. None of the other E4 really presented a challenge, but I got very lucky a LOT of the time, never getting hit by confusion and getting some very crucial body slam Paralyzes.
Anyways, Here's Meganium right now after beating the E4

Also shout out to my HM mules!

Super Swablu Solo #4 (Final)
I continued on with my epic journey until I reached Lilycove City. When I got there, I battled my rival, Brandon, for the last time before heading down to Mt. Pyre and battling Team Magma. I then headed to Slateport City only for Team Magma to escape once again. After that episode, I went back to Lilycove City and went inside Team Magma's hideout. Inside I defeated all the grunts and got the Master Ball.

After that I surfed to Mosdeep City and got Dive from Steven. I then went to the gym and beat Tate and Liza and got the badge. After that I dropped into Pacifidlog Town before heading to the Seafloor Cavern, where I defeated Maxie for the last time.

Groudon woke up and I surfed and dived to Sootopolis City where I saved Hoenn by removing Groudon. I then beat Wallace, earning me the last badge. After that I went to and through Victory Road, defeating Wally at the end of it. I then made preparations to battle the Pokémon League.

Sidney was very easy to beat, I swept his whole team after his Sharpedo used Swagger, boosting Swablu's attack. Pheobe was annoying because her Pokémon were immune to Return. Glacia was easier than expected. Steel Wing actually did decent damage. Drake was the easiest of them all. Ice Beam OHKOed all his Pokémon. Steven was obviously the toughest. I ended up using some of the X items to boost Swablu's stats. It allowed me to win, completing my Pokémon Ruby Swablu Solo Challenge.
