Ok well yeah first post :PP


I've been doing this steadily on Emerald and when I say that it means I procrastinated and sped through yesterday and I'm at Mauville, here's a shot at my team:

Lvl 26
Bulk Up | Double Kick | Rock Tomb | Ember

Combusken has been good from the start, it had a late evolution at the 3rd May Battle but then it got better with Bulk Up + Double Kick. Combusken helped me win the 3rd Gym.

Lvl 22 @ Miracle Seed
Shadow Absorb | Mega Drain | Headbutt | Leech Seed

I really want to purify Shroomish since I had to waste a slot on Mega Drain since Absorb is to weak. Shroomish helped me against Roxanne.

Lvl 24 @Everstone
Shadow Peck | Wing Attack | Focus Energy | Quick Attack

Tailows are top tier, no questions asked.

Other Pokemon | Heal Slaves
Spoiler:
Poochyena, Beautifly, Nincada

Well...I am really far behind. I gotta get a lot of updates done today. I'll catch the six Shadow Pokemon that the Hexagon Bros. have. Another quick question. Later on, getting pokemon to be purified is really gonna be a pain, so can you purify unused Shadow Pokemon to use for the Purify Chamber? As in pokemon you have that are underleveled and don't use anymore.
Good question, but yeah, that's fine. What I've been doing, is using my Pokemon til they get to the end of their shadow gauge and then boxing and swapping out for something else. That way, when I do snag everything, I can just take my Pokemon en masse to be purified, with only a few of them actually going to need a lot of effort in it. So I definitely recommend that as you go through the game, especially a game like XD with so many Shadow Pokemon. You'll be happy you did in the end.

Update 1 (about time):















Yeah, I decided to be lazy with posting the team so I just used Mac VBA's screen capture mode :> And normally Ziggy and Electrike would have nicknames despite being slaves, but I decided to follow the fact that you can't nickname Shadow Pokemon in Colo/XD until after you've purified them. /though Ziggy might be on max happiness by now... And out of the ones with max happiness (that is, all except the HM Slaves), my Skarmory is the only one who hasn't lost his "Shadow" move yet (that being Peck).

Edit: OH, and before I forget, these are the two Pokemon I'm planning on adding to complete the team:

Okay more updates :V

Just beat Flannery, so I have 4 badges. I think Tailow or Shroomish might have max happiness so I might check that soon.


Lvl 32
Bulk Up | Double Kick | Rock Tomb | Ember

Moveset is the same but why fix something when it isn't broken?


Lvl 30 @ Miracle Seed
Shadow Absorb | Mega Drain | Headbutt | Leech Seed

Again same, I think I'm going to evolve this when I get Spore, even if my happiness is already maxed out by then.


Lvl 31 @Everstone
Shadow Peck | Wing Attack | Endeavor | Quick Attack

Where's the Soothe Bell :<

Ok, well I beat Norman and no team update since it's the same team and movesets. But I actually have a question. I'm a little stumped on what my final team will be, as you know I have a Combusken, Shroomish and Tailow. I was thinking of adding a Waimer and a Magnemite to my team, but that that leaves me with one more Pokemon.

Should I add: Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Rayquaza or Xatu?

OMG, a Colosseum/XD Challenge. <33333333

I'll probably end up doing all games, btw. I'll start with Ruby, then Sapphire, then Emerald. As for the two console games, I'll start with Colosseum first, but that has to wait until the 16th or 17th.

3rd update on Sapphire:
  • Beat Norman pretty easily, then Surfed to Slateport.
  • Went back up to Mauville and did the New Mauville quest for the Thunderbolt TM.
  • Upon my return, I checked my happiness in Verdanturf, and with delight saw that Sage and Floater were at max happiness, so I could evolve them!
  • Taught Thunderbolt to Sage, and she evolved into Kirlia and then Gardevoir (she was at L33, lol).
  • Floater then evolved into Vibrava at L35 (normal evolution, yay).
  • Taught Light Ice Beam, and he evolved into Swampert and the way up to Fortree.
  • Beat Winona easily with Light, then headed to Lilycove.
  • Caught Frankie the Heracross in the Safari Zone, and Firefox the Vulpix on Mt. Pyre.
  • Beat the Grunts and the Hideout, then Surfed to Mossdeep.
  • Trained around Moss deep a bit, then took on the gym.
  • Tate and Liza went down easily, and I saved on the beach.

That was really amazing @ InfernoRogue.
:D Thanks. I've done about 8 solos in a day before (on R/B/Y), so I'm used to quickly finishing challenges.

With that said, on to Sapphire! This time, I'll be starting with Mudkip. (I haven't used a Swampert in forever.)

Update 2:
















That be my current team and status. It's actually kind of weird that I'd have most my Pokemon be at level 50 before even having the 8th gym badge. I mean, in my own copy of Emerald all my Pokemon are level 50 for Frontier purposes, meaning they were in their 40s upon beating the E4 ^^; I guess it's 'cause I've been trying to get my Pokemon to max happiness, so I've been battling not only for Exp. so they could become happy leveling up but to get money to buy steroids stat-enhancing items, which also makes them happy.

Also, this is my box, currently:



As you can see, I have 4/7 of the required legendaries needed in order to complete the challenge. Also, regarding Wailord...


It's as rare as Chansey in the part you can find it, but it was a lot easier than catching a Wailmer and getting it to max happiness.

/all this done and I haven't even entered Sootopolis's gym...

---

Overall, I must say I am having fun with this challenge :3 The most fun part will be searching for Latios (which I have decided on finding), but hey. If I could find a Wailord in the wild then finding Latios will be a breeze!

Uhhh yeah, Shadow Pokemon can't have TM moves. D: I thought I had that in the rules? -goes to edit- Sorry about that. But yeah, Shadow Pokemon in Colo/XD can't learn TMs so it wouldn't be fair to let the RSE players let theirs learn TMs either. RSE players already have a big advantage over Colo/XD players in that they can purify their teams.

So does that mean that you have to start over from the beginning if you teach your TM to a Shadow Pokemon in R/S/E? Or does that mean you're disqualified from/not going to participate this challenge?

Anyways! Not much of a small update, but got my Wynaut purified at level 18 so he can evolve into Wobbuffet since I finally encountered Latios (Yeah that was abysmal.)
