Hey guys, sorry I've been so inactive, but I've been busy with my other challenges and my social life. Anyway, I've come back with another update.

Update #2: Progress with Problems

What happened:
Spoiler:
I left Goldenrod with 6 Pokemon and 3 Badges, and with Whitney in tears (What Gym Leader does that, anyway?). I left for Ecruteak and Burned Tower. It took me a couple of tries to beat ???, but I pulled through. The same occurred with Morty at the gym, but again, I pulled through. It was VERY tough to train my minor squad, which consisted of Fortress, Derp, and Scimmy. However, my big league, which consisted of Ty, Shaman, and Froggy, ended up getting all of the Exp. Before reaching Olivine, Froggy evolved, and I ended up using a trade editor to get an in-game trade that gave me a Politoed for my Poliwhirl. I went to Olivine City, met up with that wimp ???, and stormed off to Cianwood City. I'm still on my way getting there, though. Also, Shaman evolved on the way.


My team:
Spoiler:
Derp Lv. 17

Moves:
Counter
Mirror Coat
Safeguard
Destiny Bond

Shaman Lv. 25

Moves:
Peck
Leer
Night Shade
Teleport

Froggy Lv. 27

Moves:
Surf
Hypnosis
Doubleslap
Perish Song

Scimmy Lv. 18

Moves:
Scratch
Rock Smash
Sand-Attack
Poison Sting

Ty Lv. 26

Moves:
Bite
Rock Slide
Sandstorm
Headbutt

Fortress Lv. 19

Moves:
Tackle
Protect
Selfdestruct
Take Down


That's all for now. See you guys later!

What up, I have an update on my Crystal challenge.

Update #3: A Split Team

What happened:
Spoiler:
I went ahead and beat Chuck while I was there, because I knew I would have to come back, and I didn't want to have to Surf all the way back there. Chuck was easy with Shaman and Froggy. Then, I got Fly, climbed the Lighthouse, and went BACK to Cianwood, got the SecretPotion, went BACK to the Lighthouse, then went and fought Jasmine. She was moderately difficult, and I lost to her a couple of times because of those Magnemites and Froggy. But, I beat her eventually. I went to Mahogany Town, then realized I had to go to the Lake of Rage. I used the whole Rocket sidequest thing as an excuse for my grinding of my lower tier, which were Scimmy, Fortress, and Derp. I then fought Pryce. I tried to use Ty's Rock Slide to win the day, but in the end it was Froggy who beat the majority of Pryce's team. I then used the Radio Tower sidequest to grind my lower tier up again. I went on to Clair, whose Gym was pretty hard because I had no coverage for Dragons. I taught Froggy Icy Wind, but it didn't do too much. I ended up evolving Ty and using Rock Slide/Earthquake to kill the Dratinis/Dragonairs in the Gym, and Froggy to beat the Horsea family. I then went to Dragon's Den because Clair said I HAD to do it if I wanted the badge. I went back to New Bark, got the Master Ball, which I knew I wouldn't use, and went off to Kanto. I got there, and had a pretty rough time because half my team was under Lv. 30. In the end, I had a team of Lv. 30s that weren't all that ready for the E4. That's what I'm doing right now, training for the E4.


Team:
Spoiler:


Ty Lv. 33

Moves:
Bite
Rock Slide
Thrash
Earthquake

Fortress Lv. 35

Moves:
Rapid Spin
Rollout
Selfdestruct
Take Down

Derp Lv. 31

Moves:
Counter
Mirror Coat
Safeguard
Destiny Bond

Scimmy Lv. 35

Moves:
Iron Tail
Slash
Swift
Poison Sting

Shaman Lv. 31

Moves:
Peck
Fly
Night Shade
Swift

Froggy Lv. 40

Moves:
Surf
Whirlpool
Strength
Waterfall


If you can help me by telling me how I can grind this team for the E4, preferably at least Lv. 55, please do. I would appreciate any help. Bye!

Sadly, Johto is a notoriously bad place to grind in. At that point pretty much just the route before Victory road or Victory Road itself are your best options. Also, if you've collected any phone numbers, you should spam them for rematches.

Yeah. I see that. >:(

Really the only phone number I collected was Joey on Route 30. I guess I better go collect some phone numbers.

Finally got around to posting. Here's my progress so far:

Spoiler:
  • Picked up Tepig for my starter and nicknamed it MegaBacon.
  • Went through Flocessy Ranch
  • Hacked in a Nidoran M and nicknamed it BAMF (this will apply once he evolves)
  • Thanks to BAMF's double kick, beat Cheren easily.
  • Went to Virbank and legitimately caught a Magnemite. Nicknamed it Danger Zone
  • Beat Roxie laughably easily.
  • Saved in Castelia after just arriving.


Current team:

Lv. 14 Nidoran M (BAMF) Double Kick, Leer, focus energy, poison sting.
Lv. 13 Tepig (MegaBacon) Tackle, Tail Whip, Ember, Defense Curl.
Lv. 16. Magnemite (Danger Zone) Thunder Wave, Supersonic, Thunder Shock, Sonic Boom.
