I started the challenge today and with the help of super speed by the VBA emulator, I have already beaten Misty with just Pidgeotto. I solo'ed the first quarter of the game, beating Brock with Pidgeotto at Level 18 and beating Misty with Pidgeotto at Level 25.


Pidgeotto Lv. 25 @ N/A
- Gust
- Sand-Attack
- Quick Attack
- Whirlwind
/ Only Pokemon at this point. It has been a truck so far, and I beat Misty in the first try. Moveset should change drastically though, as I am hoping for Double-Edge, Hyper Beam, Mimic, and Mirror Move.

Nothing too interesting, just caught an Abra that I can eventually trade for the Mr. Mime and beat Lt. Surge.

I went a WEE bit overboard with how much I did for one update. I'll try to pace them out a little bit.

Started with Totodile, since Feraligatr is on UU list. Caught a Spearow, beat Falkner to a bloody, featherless pulp, and caught an Ekans. Grinded the snot out of my Pokemon until Spearow and Totodile evolved. Broke Bugsy's wings and headed to Goldenrod, where I picked up an Odd Egg which evolved into Tyrogue (took seventeen resets). Evolved Tyrogue into Hitmonlee and Ekans into Arbok, and caught Suddowoodo.

So, I finished the game. Nothing amazing happened, so I apologise for not writing out everything that happened. And yes, I had insane luck with Wallace. Well, insane luck and a lot of cheap moves.

Team:

Mightyena Level 44 M
Sassy
-Bite
-Shadow Ball
-Iron Tail
-Swagger

I couldn't have beaten half the Elite Four without him, actually, I think Glacia's the only one I beat without him. Swagger was amazing...I kinda regret replacing Sand-Attack with Iron Tail, but I figured that would just be too unfair.


Swalot Level 43 M
Docile
-Sludge
-Bullet Seed
-Toxic
-Body Slam

Same as above, couldn't have beaten the E4 without him. Sludge was pretty helpful against Sidney's Grass types, toxic helped with the things that my derps didn't stand a chance against and Bullet Seed...well, I didn't have any other grass TMs and nothing on my team could take Whiscash, okay? >.<


Minun Level 44 F
Bold
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder Wave
-Quick Attack
-Charge

Nowhere near as useful as Swagger or Toxic but...the fact that she outsped Wailord and Milotic was extremely important. No one else on my team (besides maybe Mightyena) could land a hit on Wailord before getting KOd by Water Spout.


Torkoal Level 45 F
Quirky
-Flamethrower
-Body Slam
-Curse
-Smokescreen

I thought that Torkoal would be the most powerful member of my team, um...I think I used her against Glacia's Glalies. That's it. She was level 44 going into the Elite Four.


Whiscash Level 43 F
Timid
-Surf
-Earthquake
-Water Sport
-Amnesia

Not as useful as I'd hoped. Although that's mainly because I forgot to get a second Ice Beam TM for her before going into the Elite Four. Um...I think I used her a couple of times.


Wigglytuff Level 44 F
Modest
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Flamethrower
-Flash

I guess she was okay for a creepy pink blob. >.>

...I couldn't have beaten Wallace's Gyarados without her, same with Glacia's Walrein, half of Drake's team and probably at least one member of Sidney's. She was nowhere near as good as Mightyena, but nowhere near as bad as I'd hoped.
