Okay, so my team is as follows:

Electrode with Self-Destruct and Sonicboom.
Stantler with Stomp.
Scyther, Adamant natured. (I fail to see how this is limiting, except in catching it, but ok.)
Nidoking. Can't evolve into Nidoking until it learns Flatter, and must know two of the following moves at all times: Flatter, Helping Hand, and/or Toxic Spikes.

As for hacking, I will hack in Voltorb at the beginning, as it is only available after Ecruteak City. The rest I will obtain normally.


@Jake♫: You get a Tauros. Must know Pursuit at all times.

Update time!

-Caught Sudowoodo (who knows, maybe I'll teach an HM to it)

-While trying to catch a Pineco, I found (and caught) a shiny Caterpie! Why is it that I couldn't find a single wild shiny in over 250 hours on my actual Gold Version (save for the Red Gyarados), yet I find one after only a couple of hours of play on a file I don't particularly care about?

-Finally caught the Pineco (PINECONE, level 10) after quite a few more battles. Official team member no. 2 has joined!

-Defeated Morty

-Climbed the Lighthouse in Olivine

-Received HM 04 (taught to Pineco)

-Defeated Chuck (WOOP level 38, PINECONE level 25)

Okay, started my game on HeartGold.
  • Named self Zane, rival Wes.
  • Picked Cyndaquil, went through the Mr. Pokemon quest.
  • Hacked in a Voltorb at L3. Bashful Nature, named it Boomer.
  • Boomer learned Sonicboom at L9, one of the moves it must always know.
  • Beat Sprout Tower easily with Sonicboom and got Flash.
  • Challenged Faulkner and took him down with Spark and Sonicboom.
  • Down south, caught a Wooper named Doc and gave it Flash and Rock Smash.
  • Sonicboom really helped with those Hikers in Union Cave.
  • In Azalea, I kicked TR out of the Well and beat Wes handily (No Curse, thank God).
  • Boomer had learned Rollout so Bugsy was taken care of with all five of em (Scyther went down to the first 2).
  • Got Cut in the forest and taught it to Cyndaquil.
  • Taught Headbutt to Boomer.
  • Reached Goldenrod and went north to catch the rest of my team.
  • Up by the National Park, I caught a Nidoran♂ named HornKing on Rt. 35 and a Stantler named Vincent on Rt 36.
  • Entered the Bug-Catching contest with Boomer and found a Scyther. Had to reset the game quite a few times before I got an Adamant-natured one (as per the challenge). Named him Excalibur.
  • I am currently training Excalibur up so I can face Whitney, although I may try to get Vincent up instead.

Team Zane:

Excalibur the Adamant Scyther, ♂ - L16
Ability: Technician
Moves: False Swipe, Pursuit, U-Turn, Leer

Boomer the Bashful Voltorb - L23 @ Shell Bell
Ability: Soundproof
Moves: Spark, Sonicboom, Headbutt, Screech

Vincent the Quirky Stantler, ♂ - L14
Ability: Intimidate
Moves: Leer, Astonish, Hypnosis, Stomp

HornKing the Mild Nidoran♂, ♂ - L15
Ability: Poison Point
Moves: Leer, Peck, Poison Sting, Double Kick

Doc the Timid Wooper, ♀ - L6
Ability: Water Absorb
Moves: Water Gun, Tail Whip, Flash, Rock Smash

Cyndaquil the Gentle Cyndaquil, ♀ - L9
Ability: Blaze
Moves: Tackle, Leer, Smokescreen, Cut

Chapter 2: This Could Easily Be a Solo Run:

My titles are so imaginative. But there isn't much to say. Combusken is dominating, and this hasn't been slightly hard yet (granted I almost died when I fought May's Marshtomp, but I was in control). I went through Granite Cave, decimated the trainers on Slateport's beach, and got a six pack of soda for my efforts. Not bad... Went through all the usual story stuff of course, and ended my session in front of the Mauville Pokecenter after defeating Wattson and every other trainer accessible in that area. I have a seriously strong Poke... If I do this challenge again I may have to specify getting at least one more Pokemon before gym #3 (or even #2).

Badges: 3

The Team:


Combusken (Level 32)
Relaxed Nature (+Def -Spd)
- Quick Attack
- Double Kick
- Focus Energy
- Ember

Next Time:
Hopefully a new Pokemon on the team :) I have that massive stretch of land before Falabor ahead of me, so I'm positive that I will get Blaziken there. Falabor also means that Zangoose is in the picture one route later, so it's looking like Combusken won't get to hog all the EXP anymore...

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Restrictions: Must be obtainable on Emerald without trading, for the simple reason that I can't trade. Also, please use type variety. Dual-Types as an exception (example, I'm more than willing to use a Ludicolo and a Sceptile).

Evolutionary restrictions, move set restrictions, all other things like that are free. This oughta be fun.

@IanDonyer:

Get a Taillow. It can not evolve or learn Aerial Ace until after you've proved yourself to Winona by beating her in a battle. After beating her, feel free to evolve and/or teach it Aerial Ace.

And my challenge is looking fun already :3
