There's no rules on items. Use whatever you need to.

I won't be able to finish this in time sadly D: But I will finish the game because I enjoy playing with this team x3 It was a fun challenge though ^^
I don't care about EV's or IV's - I play for fun not competitive.
I don't own consoles - I play on emulators on my computer.

I finally have my team! I decided to use Butterfree for #11, since Mightyena seems way too similar to Luxray. I caught an easy Caterpie in Santalune Forest, and I hunted Cryogonal for a couple of hours in the Frost Cavern. Bred a Drought Vulpix with four egg moves, and a Numel with Growth to take advantage of the sun. Luxio and Pumpkaboo were caught in the FS. This is what they look like untouched, so I have a long training session scheduled for tomorrow, hehe.

Oh, and you get a cookie for guessing the naming theme, hehe.

I wanted to complete the challenge, but I am terrible at setting up strategies so I have to resort to leveling. But I don't have time to grind, mostly because I sleep most of the day and awake most of the night (at a time when my mother keeps on pestering me to sleep, and she can detect whether I'm actually sleeping or not), and I... don't like master-training. I hate beating up the league over and over again for training. I never did that in any of my playthroughs at all.

So I'll just post my final team before GT11 ends, 'cause I know I won't make it in time. :'D
Please excuse my terrible move choices.

Spoiler:
He was #011!

#11 the Staraptor - Lv 69
Close Combat | U-Turn | Fly | Brave Bird

Bitter Rivalry

Viridian the Leafeon - Lv 69
Razor Leaf | Synthesis | Energy Ball | X-Scissor

Harsh Weather

Sunny the Volcarona - Lv 64
Flamethrower | Quiver Dance | Silver Wind | Sunny Day

Hoenn Confirmed!

Serenade the Milotic - Lv 64
Ice Beam | Water Pulse | Aqua Ring | Surf

Unity

Keiran the Braviary - Lv 64
Crush Claw | Hone Claws | Aerial Ace | Rock Slide

Wild Card

Reaper the Absol - Lv 64
Night Slash | Slash | Psycho Cut | Shadow Claw


Also, let me laugh at the fact that Braviary, Volcarona and Absol all have natures that decreases their best attacking stat. Also, Absol's nature increases his Defense, which is useless considering how low of a defense he has and that even training won't help it at all.

I will complete this challenge though, but not within the GT11 timeframe. The fastest would be the day after GT11 if I really want to defeat the league multiple times, but it's tiring. :'D

I started training in the Winding Woods with Aquarelle in the lead, Exp Share turned on, most of the team holding Lucky Eggs. After everybody was level 20+, I went to the Battle Chateau. Activated a Red Writ (+10 levels increase), and that's when the fun began. I'm trying to let everybody battle, well, except Allegretto since he's still a Caterpie, as I'm keeping all of them unevolved to boost the exp gain. My favorite part was mooching 10k+ exp off each lv. 55 Audino with an untouchable Frilly in the lead ♥

I'm going out for lunch for now, so here are the team's levels and moves as of right now:

Allegretto | Lv. 34 | Tackle · String Shot · Bug Bite · n/a
Bluebell| Lv. 43 | Thunder Fang · Bite · Thunder Wave · Roar
Belladonna | Lv. 35 | Feint Attack · Heat Wave · Hex · Hypnosis
Ellipsis | Lv. 34 | Earth Power · Earthquake · Flamethrower · Growth
Frilly | Lv. 46 | Trick-or-Treat · Leech Seed · Bullet Seed · Shadow Sneak
Aquarelle | Lv. 48 | Ice Beam · Flash Cannon · Light Screen · Reflect

Oh, and I need to trade-evolve Pumpkaboo, if anyone feels like they could help, please let me know :)
'kay, so my team is finally bulked up and ready for the league. Later on, I also hope I could manage to beat Red with the few levels I'd be gaining..and in time before the event ends.

#11 Pidgeot (Pidjooot!) - Lv68 / Heat Wave / Fly / Roost / Steel Wing
Hoenn Armaldo (Buggy) - Lv72 / Rock Blast / Brick Break / X-Scissor / Aqua Tail
Wild Card Rattata (Ratty) - Lv69 / Dig / Crunch / Hyper Fang / Iron Tail
Rival Arbok (Ahas) - Lv72 / Gunk Shot / Glare / Thunder Fang / Poison Jab
Weatherman Tyranitar (Sir Maquis) - Lv71 / Stone Edge / Earthquake / Crunch / Dragon Claw
Unity Gyarados (GT11:Arc)- Lv71 / Giga Impact / Avalanche / Aqua Tail / Dragon Dance

tried to make every move different and one poke be able to cover another's weaknesses. The battle style is also set to...'SET' and Rattata is always my brave little front =3 lazy naming ftw!

Today is the last day to submit a completion post to qualify for the completion emblem. After midnight, Pacific Daylight Time, the challenge will be closed to new champions, however you are free to post here after that if you finish later, it just won't count.
EDIT: Crap. I didn't know the levels of the League Pokémon were boosted in the rematch! I'll have to get everyone to level 60 if I really want to beat them...
Yeah, they get new Pokemon in HeartGold when you collect all 8 badges in Kanto. Best of luck, I know Johto is not the best when it comes to grinding. You will get an emblem though whether you manage to complete it or not, so don't stress yourself out too much, it is for fun after all. :3
didn't really want to edit my previous post...so thanks to Necrum xD (+bump) and so, without further ado, here's my final update:


Spoiler:
vs Will:
- Ratty can't handle a Bronzong, so papa Arc handles the whole opposing team with Dragon Dance aboos
vs Koga
- Ratty beats Skuntank one-on-one, but Ratty switches out vs Toxicroak
- Toxicroak ohko's Sir Maquis with cross chop (wtf?!)
- Pidjooot! is sent out and beats the crap out of frogster, but is too weak to deal with Swalot
- Buggy switches in and blasts Swalot away...and Crobat
- Venomoth trumps Buggy with double team-pass to Muk, so papa Arc comes to save the day again with Dragon Dance and a successful (after 3 turns) Aqua Tail
- Venomoth is finally picked off like Probopass booger
vs Bruno
- Ratty retreats whilst Ahas takes over and downs Hitmontop with a Gunk Shot
- Will sends out Machamp but Ahas still managed to take it down
- Lucario defeats Ahas, but Pidjooot! got the job done, adding Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan to his fallen prey
- Arc faces Hariyama and wins, 'cause OP
vs Karen
- Ratty puts up a good fight against Weavile, but loses in the end =(
- Ahas takes over and defeats Weavile and Absol
- Karen sends out Spiritomb and I switch to Tyranitar
- Tyranitar gets cursed but defeats both Spiritomb and Honchkrow before being covered by Buggy
- Buggy ends the battle by plowing through Umbreon and Houndoom with Brick Break and Aqua Tail
vs Lance
- Ratty bails out and Arc takes down Salamence for her
- Lance's own Gyarados beats Arc and Ahas returns the favor with a single Thunder Fang
- Garchomp destroys Pidjooot! but Maquis saves the day (really, Swords Dance -> EQ is my team's bane)
- Ratty takes a hit from Altaria to make way for Ahas, who avenges his friend with Gunk Shots in the face
- Lance's Dragonite and Charizard were a joke to Captain Buggy, but he faints right after the battle due to a burn
- profit.
- epic!

Used an emulator for this challenge and I actually started the game from the very beginning! However, I only did the challenge after the first E4 battle...those 44 hours were legit non-speedups tho. Now, for my feels in this challenge, I didn't expect Buggy to do so much...but vs Lance, lol, those rocks sure did blast. Ratty and Pidjooot! were just as expected but the most disappointing award goes to Sir Maquis! *smh* Could've probably been better if I EV trained just a bit. Ratty was unimpressive... but that's mainly just because this was very rushed to the deadline. Bad nature for offense, and zero EVs on attack. Pretty sure it would've downed more, especially Karen's frail Weavile, if it was trained properly.

and so, my adventure must end here. I'll have to take on Red another time, unfortunately. The challenge took more time from me than I thought, but it paid off with an epic experience. So I'll see y'all 'til the next challenge, mates! (visit us at the Challenge Forum, too!)

So yesterday I finished grinding once everyone got up to level 68 and this morning I immediately took on the Elite Four and champion. Banette, Rotom, and Noivern took care of Wikstrom, Rotom single-handedly swept through Malva, Gothitelle and Noivern dealt with Drasna, and Pidgeot, Gothitelle, Umbreon, and Rotom took care of Siebold. None of the four were particularly difficult due to my team's high levels. Diantha was pretty easy to defeat, except for her Gardevoir. Pidgeot took care of Hawlucha, Noivern defeated Tyrantrum, and Gothitelle got in a couple of Calm Minds which allowed him/her to sweep through Aurorus, Goodra, and Gourgeist before falling to Mega Gardevoir. Eventually, Pidgeot was able to take down Diantha's Gardevoir with Return. Overall, I didn't have too many problems with the E4 + Champion, mainly due to my levels. Rotom, Gothitelle, and Noivern were my best team members, and Banette and Umbreon were my worst because they don't really work with my play style. I may post a picture later, but I'll make no promises since I have to go to work soon!

Pidgeot / lv68 / Return, Fly, U-turn, Roost
Gothitelle / lv69 / Psychic, Energy Ball, Thunderbolt, Calm Mind
Rotom / lv69 / Rain Dance, Thunder, Hydro Pump, Shadow Ball
Banette / lv68 / Knock Off, Protect, Will-O-Wisp, Shadow Claw
Umbreon / lv68 / Toxic, Protect, Moonlight, Dark Pulse
Noivern / lv68 / Boomburst, Dragon Pulse, Flamethrower, Dark Pulse

Soooo, this just happened while training my team!


Now, I know my Cryogonal was supposed to be my dragon buster, but this is my very first non-scripted, non-chained, non-MM shiny ever, so I'm gonna do a last minute change to my team, if that's okay :)

[EDIT] I just realized that shiny Foongus aren't that uncommon in hordes, but this girl was completely REed, yay! Too bad that I have to change the one Pokemon I spent hours getting in the first place, but she doesn't fit any other role other than the wildcard {XD}

I'm going to give the League another shot, and I also know what I should be leading with now :)

Also, you've got Mt. Silver for grinding so that kinda works.
