Quick update:

I have a Level 21 (or 22; I forgot) Loudred and have one badge and I'm just under Florma Town.

EDIT:
Loudred (nicknamed Valor) is now level 31 and I'm in the Eterna Galactic Building.

I've gotten the fourth badge. Valor the Exploud is now Level 52, and I'm in Hearthome heading to the gym! EDIT: Nevermind, I'm flying back to Pastoria. I forgot to follow the grunt around and battle my rival and such.

EDIT: Ok, right now I'm at Lake Verity battling Team Galactic. I've gotten my 5th badge - easy by using Crunch!, my 6th badge - Flamethrower, and my 7th badge - Flamethrower, again. Valor is currently at lv.70 and knows the moves Crunch, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, and Earthquake. I'll update once I get the next badge! I'll probably kill Dialga for the experience (and every other legendary; I have them all in my other Diamond cartridge!).

EDIT: I've beaten the 8th gym and I just started on Victory Road. Valor is level 85 (15 from 100!!) I'm off to bed now so in the morning I'll finish Victory Road and attack the elite four!

EDIT: Gahhh!! Why does no one else update?! Anyways, I've finished Victory Road and I finally got Valor to Lv.100 by grinding and grinding and grinding. I've bought all of my needed items and I deposited all of my HM slaves into the box. I'm going to try to do it without switching in an HM slave to heal and stuff. If that doesn't work I'll soft reset and try with the slaves. Wish me luck!

EDIT: Well, I've finished. The Elite Four really wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Anyways, here is the long drawn out battle record for the Elite Four:

Spoiler:

deku vs. Aaron
1 vs. 5
deku sent out Valor
Aaron sent out Dustox
Valor used Flamethrower
Dustox fainted
1 vs. 4
Aaron sent out Heracross
Valor used Flamethrower
Heracross fainted
1 vs. 3
Aaron sent out Vespiqueen
Valor used Ice Beam
Vespiqueen fainted
1 vs. 2
Aaron sent out Beautifly
Valor used Flamethrower
Beautifly fainted
1 vs. 1
Aaron sent out Drapion
Valor used Earthquake
Drapion fainted
1 vs. 0
Win!
Comments: Wasn’t too tough; Valor had moves that each of his Pokemon were weak too. I was very happy that Valor didn’t even get hit and every attack was an OHKO. I’m going to take on Bertha without saving.

deku vs. Bertha
1 vs. 5
deku sent out Valor
Bertha sent out Quagsire
Quagsire used Protect
Valor used Earthquake – no affect
Valor used Flamethrower (pressed the wrong button…)
Quagsire used Double Team
Valor used Earthquake
Quagsire Fainted
1 vs. 4
Bertha sent out Sudowoodo
Valor used Earthquake
Sudowoodo fainted
1 vs. 3
Bertha sent out Golem
Valor used Ice Beam
Golem fainted
1 vs. 2
Bertha sent out Whiscash
Valor used Earthquake
Whiscash used Zen Headbutt
Bertha used one Full Restore
Valor used Earthquake
Valor used Crunch
Whiscash fainted
1 vs. 1
Bertha sent out Hippowdon
A sandstorm started
Valor used Ice Beam
Hippowdon fainted
1 vs. 0
Win!
Comments: I can’t believe I accidently used Flamethrower on Quagsire, but I managed. I did expect to have troubles with Quagsire and Whiscash though. Overall it went a lot better than I predicted, with Valor only losing 22 HP points. I’m going to use a potion and head in to Flint’s room, again without saving.

deku vs. Flint
1 vs. 5
deku sent out Valor
Flint sent out Rapidash
Valor used Earthquake
Rapidash fainted
1 vs. 4
Flint sent out Infernape
Valor used Earthquake
Infernape fainted
1 vs. 3
Flint sent out Lopunny
Valor used Earthquake
Lopunny used Charm
Valor’s attack fell
Flint used one Full Restore
Valor used Crunch
Valor used Earthquake
Lopunny used Fire Punch
Valor got burnt
Valor was hurt from its burn
Valor used Crunch
Lopunny fainted
Valor was hurt from its burn
1 vs. 2
Flint sent out Steelix
Valor used Flamethrower
Steelix fainted
Valor was hurt from its burn
1 vs. 1
Flint sent out Drifblim
Valor used Ice Beam
Drifblim fainted
1 vs. 0
Win!
Comments: I did expect to have trouble with Lopunny, and it did just that. Other than that it was all OHKO’s and Valor mainly lost HP from its burn. In total, Valor lost 149 HP points, so I’m going to use a Full Restore to get rid of the burn and get to max HP. I’m also going to have to use an Ether on Earthquake. Once again, I’m not going to save before Lucian.

deku vs. Lucian
1 vs. 5
deku sent out Valor
Lucian sent out Mr. Mime
Valor used Crunch
Mr. Mime fainted
1 vs. 4
Lucian sent out Medicham
Valor used Earthquake
Medicham used Fire Punch
Lucian used one Full Restore
Valor used Earthquake
Valor used Crunch
Medicham fainted
1 vs. 3
Lucian sent out Alakazam
Valor used Crunch
Alakazam fainted
1 vs. 2
Lucian sent out Girafarig
Valor used Crunch
Girafarig fainted
1 vs. 1
Lucian sent out Bronzong
Valor used Flamethrower
Bronzong fainted
1 vs. 0
Win!
Comments: I expected to have trouble with Medicham, but luckily I didn’t have too much trouble. This battle seemed to be easiest aside from the battle with Aaron. Valor lost 39 HP, so I’m going to heal then use my Max Elixir to be fully healed – HP and PP wise – before Cynthia. I think I’ll save before I battle her.

deku vs. Cynthia
1 vs.6
deku sent out Valor
Cynthia sent out Spiritomb
Valor used Earthquake
Spiritomb used Dark Pulse
Valor used Earthquake
Spiritomb fainted
1 vs. 5
Cynthia sent out Lucario

1 vs. 4
Cynthia sent out Garchomp
Valor used Ice Beam
Garchomp fainted
1 vs. 3
Cynthia sent out Gastrodon
Valor used Earthquake
Gastrodon used Sludge Bomb
Cynthia used one Full Restore
Valor used Earthquake
Valor used Crunch
Gastrodon fainted
1 vs. 2
Cynthia sent out Milotic
Valor used Earthquake
Milotic used Aqua Ring
Milotic restored health
Valor used Earthquake
Milotic fainted
1 vs. 1
Cynthia sent out Roserade
Valor used Flamethrower
Roserade fainted
1 vs. 0
Win!
Comments: Wow. This is the easiest I’ve ever beaten the whole Elite Four. Cynthia really didn’t cause much trouble. I expected that Spritomb, Gastrodon, and Milotic would cause trouble, which they did, but not as much as I expected. Time 31:30.

Hey, sorry I forgot I was doing charmander on this challenge :(

But I'd like to try it again with another pokemon, I'm thinking Larvitar - Tyranitar, but that could be difficult to find.. also I haven't used one before. Either that or I go with Spheal - Walrein. Still not decided yet :)

I am interested in this challange... though I'll probably take part tomorrow as it's quite later over here. I'll play my Platinum copy and I'll be doing the solo run with Bibarel (which'll evolve from Bidoof obviously).

Edit: I forgot to add something. I was looking through the rules... and I was wondering, are we allowed to use HM Slaves when doing the Solo challange? Just asking because I've noticed it's not on the front page. :/

Yeah, just don't use them in battle. You can however in a double battle, or to switch in to revive/heal your runner. I had like four of them XD.

^Ah, I see.

Thanks for answering that!!
No problem!

Anyways, I think I'm going to start again. I've figured out that the best moveset combo would be Ground, Fire, Ice/Grass, Dark/Ghost to defeat the Sinnoh League. This time I'll use Trapinch -> Vibrava -> Flygon, on Diamond again.

EDIT: Okay, I've started and my Trapinch just hatched. It was female and I named her Lo. Right now I'm just training her on the first route.

EDIT: Todays been a good day in the challenge world. Lo is now a level 53 Flygon that knows Crunch, Giga Drain, Earthquake, and Flamethrower and I have earned the first four gym badges. I saved in Pastoria and I'm about to go battle my rival and chase the grunt.

Um, hi? I'd really love to know if this challenge is still going on 'cause I'd like to give this a try. If it is, great 'cause I'd love to do a solo run with Psyduck/Golduck on my Diamond game, if at all possible. I'm currently working on my Steel Monotype challenge in Pearl but I'm pretty sure I can do two challenges at once. So yeah, I'd love to do this challenge and let me know if I still can. Thanks! =]

Alright, here's my first update on my Golduck solo run!

User Name: MareBear
Trainer: Mary
Game: Diamond
Pokemon: Psyduck/Golduck
Time on Game: 11:19

Badges: Coal, Forest, Cobble, Fen, Relic, Mine
Team Members: My solo runner and my HM Slave and Flyer.

Current Team:
Daisy

Level 55
Hardy
Wise Glasses
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Psychic
- Brick Break

So, I started this solo run with the Psyduck/Golduck combination and so far, it's been really fun. All of the Gyms have been easy, except Gardenia and her damned Grass types. Anyway, I just beat my rival in Pastoria City and I'm about to chase the Galactic Grunt down. I will update more later 'cause I'm on my iPod with little WiFi but I will update when I can. XD

EDIT: Got the next two badges from Fantina and Byron, who were both pretty easy. I just finished beating up Saturn and Mars at Lakes Valor and Verity and I'm now going to head to Snowpoint City next for my seventh badge and to help out my rival Ryan at Lake Acuity. At the rate I'm going, I probably should have this challenge finished by tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. Don't hold me on that 'cause I'm still on vacation and something come up. Until then people! =]
