This is going to be much like Magic's Bug challenge, but maybe a LITTLE simpler due to the amount of grass types. This is a challenge where you are allowed to only use GRASS types. This also is only for the Hoenn region games.

A list of the Gras types in R/S/E:

Spoiler:

Treeko
Grovyle
Sceptile
Seedot
Nuzleaf
Shiftry
Shroomish
Breloom
Oddish
Gloom
Vileplume
Bellosom
Roselia
Cacnea
Cacturne
Lileep
Cradily
Tropius

You wil notice that I didn't add the Lotad family. That is because this challenge calls for the usage of all grass types BUT them! To make it a little more challenging. Idk how much more that affects you guys but oh well. You are free to have as many "HM Slaves" as you want! But the limit on the grass type pokemon you can use is also three!

To take on this challenge fill in a signup form like this:
Pokemon:
HM slave/s:
Name of your trainer:

Takers so far:
Spoiler:
Pogeymonz: Sceptile, Breloom, and Vileplume.
HM slaves: Currently undecided
Name: Person


Spoiler:

Pogeymonz: Sceptile, Breloom, and Vileplume.
HM slaves: Do I have to decide this now? It'd be much easier if I catch them as I go along, seeing as they won't be used for battles.
Name: Person
No need to decide now, just post them later and I'll add them to your statsus. <3

Geez everyone is pretty much using the same pokemon, where is the challenge in that?

Don't really understand why Lotad etc aren't in, they are just as grass as any other
Their being water type makes it easier to defeat any other types that they usually have a problem with. If you didnt like the challenge then dont say iit ON the Topic.

I started with torchic so May has a water pokemon. I used it until i caught a Zigzagoon for a HM slave(surf, stregnth, cut, rock smash) and got a shroomish. I easily beat Roxanne with absorb, although nosepass was a bit of a problem with its high def. I went on to Dewford and went quickly through the cave with Steven in it (forgot name) i just brought repels and wandered until i found the right way without flash. I skipped the gym and I went to Slateport and beat everybody on the beach. My shroomish is now level 22.

UPDATE -
I leveled my shroomish in the Museum from Team Aqua and delivered the stuff to Cptn. Stern. The 3rd may fight was a challange though, her torkal was a pretty hard to kill, but her swampert was gone with 1 mega drain. I went up to Mauville and I beat all the people on route 117, i beat the 4 people on the start of route 118. My breloom was level 28 by then and i caught an oddish. I went through the gym and easily beat Wattson with Mach Punches. After getting Rock Smash and teaching it to my Zigzagoon, I went through Rusturf tunnel and got Stregnth. I got the exp share back in Rusturf and put Zigzagoon in the daycare to level up so i can get better pick-up items. I gave oddish the exp share and got a Mach Bike to go on the Cycling Road. I beat all the trainers there (usually 1 hit KOs with Mach Punch) and got back on the ship to go beat Brawly. It obviously was a easy fight as i was about double his pokemons' level. I went back to Mauville and rode the Mach Bike back and forth the long path from Vendenturf to Route 118 while watching TV in my real life, by the time i started playing my Zigzagoon was level 41 (whoops :P). I KOed a few wild pokemon to level her so she could learn Stregnth. I evolved my oddish while beating trainers on my way to Fiery Path. I am now just outside fiery path.

My Current Team (besides HM slaves) :

lvl 32 Breloom
Mega Drain
Mach Punch
Counter (soon to be replaced with sky uppercut)
Leech Seed

lvl 22 Gloom
Absorb
Sleep Powder
Poisionpowder
Stun Spore

UPDATE - Just a small little update. I am in meteor falls now, im trying to get a sun stone but i dont want to wait until Mossdeep, so im tryng to get one off a Solrock, but the lack of a pokemon who can steal items is making this a challange, i have about 4 solrocks in my PC because i have to catch them and see if they are holding a sun stone. Good thing i have like 15 repeat balls...

EDIT - Will that work, or do i have to use thief, because i have like 15 and im running out of money.

UPDATE - [I need to take a break from playing :P] I went on to Lavaridge town and got destroyed by Flannery. I KOed all her pokemon in 1 hit with mach punch until torkal. Torkal was harder, i didnt kill him in 1 hit so he used Overheat on Breloom which obviosly KOed me. My level 28 gloom didnt stand a chance either, i tried to make it go to sleep but her torkal got the first attack. I saved before the fight and kept trying over and over for about an hour until i finally got it perfect, i didnt miss on the first 3 pokemon and i got a critical hit on torkal. So I got the badge and i got the Go-Goggles. The mirage tower wasnt there so i just went on to Norman instead. I got sky uppercut after killing torkal, so that would come in use for the next gym. I easlily got through the gym with mach punch, and i sky uppercutted normans first 3 pokemon, but, like flannery, his last pokemon KOed me in 1 hit. I used skyupper cut on it and slacking used counter then i sent out gloom and he healed with a hyper potion, i knew it was hopeless so i restarted and just used mach punch in case he countered then i used sky uppercut to finish him off while he was loafing around. I got surf and taught it to my Linoone.

Update one:
Okay, so I pretty much battled everyone from Littleroot to the Rusturf Cave except Roxanne.
I don't have either of my HM slaves atm, and btw, I'd love yo add Taillow to it, if at all possible. For fly.

Either way, I got Seedot evolved into Nuzleaf, and he's still level fourteen, Treecko is level 12, and Shroomish is also 12. I'm gonna go beat Roxanne, and will give you more info when I get back on.

Ciao~♫

After getting surf i surfed east of Mauville onto Route 118 including the weather institute, i beat most the trainers on the way to fortree city. I healed up and ran straight through the town, i got the devon scope and kept walking, knowing i couldnt beat the gym yet. I beat all the trainers up to route 121, and thats where I am now. I am training my gloom and lileep at the moment. My current team is:

lvl 40 Breloom
Sky Uppercut
Mach Punch
Counter
Leech Seed

Hey, can I change Cacturne to Cradily? I realised how useful it'll get against Fire, Ice and Flying types...xD
Well, before you get a particular Pokemon, what do I do? Use 1 Pokemon up to Petalburg Woods?
Everything ends,
and that's always sad.
But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

Wow sunny day/solar beam annihilated solrock and lunatone, rock tomb KOed xatu, and claydol fell asleep twice which gave me a chance to giga drain it and use sky upppercut as a small bit of damage. This is easier than when i had varied types of pokemon XD
Well that's always good!
I will be starting this challenge on MY Emerald soon as well.
