Challenge: Steven Universe Challenge

Welcome to Beach City, where the weather is great and humanoid gem warriors (and a half gem-half human boy) keep the world safe from eldritch abominations and their prior planet turned enemy: Homeworld. You?ll be forming your team around the quirky world that is SU.

...

Allowed Games...
Mainline series generations 1-7 are allowed. Hacks are allowed if they are complete (must have an E4 and Hall of Fame).

...​

You must complete your game (or series of games) having built a team using any one of following clauses...

Each diamond has gems below them that share their attributes. You must have a Mon that is a Diamond and the rest of the team must be built around similarities to that Diamond.​

Crystal Gems?​

Garnet is a working combination of 2 gems that are polar opposites. You must have a team of 6 Mons that? Have types that are weak/strong against each other (Fire and Water, or Fairy and Poison for ex.), have colors that are capable of combining (red + blue, yellow + red, black + white), and have 2 mons in the same egg group.​

Use Mons from the same egg group of your choosing. Amethyst is considered small/defective for her class of Gem, so your Mons must never be EV trained or given/fed boosting items (berries, iron, rare candy, etc.). You may not use Pok?mon Amie, Pok? Pelago, the Haircut bros, etc. They may not be given TMs or Megastones and must rely on their natural move pools (HMs are allowed unless you want/need dedicated HM slaves). Exp. Share must be turned off at all times.​

Pearl will always put others before herself. You may only shift your party when you enter a town?s Pok?mon Center. You must run your team on SET. For each Mon in your party, they must have 3 support moves and 1 STAB damaging move where possible. You may only have the following combinations of types: Ground, Grass, Bug, Ice, and Steel or Water, Electric, Steel, Ghost, and Psychic (you may use Rock or Fighting to replace Steel types in Gen 1).b​

Your starter is your "Steven." You must catch the first Mon you encounter as soon as Pok? balls are available to you. In battle, that Mon is your ?Connie? ? Steven?s first friend and the sword of duo. That Mon must always go before your ?Steven? and may only be switched out upon fainting, HP below 50% + status (poison/paralysis/freeze/burn/etc.), or switching out moves (Baton Pass, Parting Shot, U-turn, Volt Switch). You must breed your ?Connie? and ?Steven? at the daycare center if they are of compatible egg groups and opposing genders. If incompatible, then you may chain breed, but the final resulting egg must share ancestry between your starter and 2nd Mon. The resulting egg will take over the ?Stevonnie? role. Stevonnie must go first and fight until fainting ? no matter what, followed by Connie and your Steven. In games without daycares, you may catch a Mon that?s in the same egg group as Connie (no dupes). Mons 4, 5, and 6 will be your Lars, Sadie, and Onion. Lars must be a tank (high Def or high Sp.Def). Sadie must have sound/wave based moves and use them first. Onion must have Self Destruct, Explosion, or any other move that causes recoil damage. Lars, Sadie, and Onion may be battled in any order after Steven faints.​

This is a combination of all 4 Gems. You must have a dedicated Tag Team (opposing colors or typings) of 2, an ?Amethyst? that?s of a separate egg group and type of the tag team (no TMs/HMs/Megastones/etc.), a ?Pearl? that?s in a support role (3 status, 1 STAB), a ?Connie? (must not switch out when in battle unless below 50% HP + status, fainting, or switch out move), and a Steven (starter).​
