2. Hacking and Trading is forbidden, except in these cases:
2a. You are using a Pokemon not available before the first badge.
2b. You are using a Pokemon not in the Regional Pokedex.
This includes hacking/trading of all things, not just the two challenge Pokemon. I know it may not seem obvious, but given the fact it says "Hacking and Trading is forbidden, except in these cases" and HM slaves do not fall under these cases.
Same for the Dawn Stones, as you can get them pre-E4. There is one in Mt. Coronet, and as many as you want via Pickup.
If needed, I can add it to be more specific in the OP. There are a few other things I need to make specific anyways. :p

However, I was planning to add a "Rules-Free Mode", that's pretty much the same as the "Freeplay" mode in the monotype thread.
I can add your challenge that if you want?

Haven't forgotten challenge - where I am so far: in Cyllage City Gym

Such a hard time with Grant. Both team members are so weak to Rock types - already lost 3 times to Grant.
I know that feeling. I've always had a hard time with him. {XD}

Anyways, I'll get around to updating this and my other challenges hopefully later today.
I haven't been around much because of my job, but since I've been getting more time off work, I may start doing challenges again. :p

Whatever... Not entirely sure how that matters... I never actually ended up using them to revive either member anyway.

The Dawn Stone in Mt. Cornet is only available in Platinum, not Diamond. There is another one pre-E4 in Plat as well. Pickup theoretically is an option, but to have even a 4% chance of finding one your pokemon needs to be the level that my main pokemon finished the game at. Also if I need more than 2 party slots on HM users, Pachirisu isn't the best HM slave.

1. I realise it's not a big deal, but rules are rules.

2. Sorry, my mistake, I haven't played D/P since Plat came out, so it's been a long time. Also, bulbapedia has it wrong (I checked other sources as well to confirm), so it's not entirely on me, lol.
And I do agree that pickup at that point is kind of stupid, so I guess the Dawn Stone thing can have a pass.

3. All right, I'll add it when I update the thread later.

Normally, I wouldn't have a problem with Grant, I would always have something to counter rock types - with the challenge, don't have much against Tyrunt. Looking back at your own challenge team, I can see how tough Grant must have been.


It's Time!!
Update Time!!
So far in the journey:
Spoiler:

In Lumiose City, first trip
- Obtained, Bulba, the male Bulbasaur from the professor, no plans on using it so it will stay in the PC

In Route 5, Camphrier Town
- met Lucario that likes me (Korrina's that is)
- caught some Pokemon
- arrived in Camphrier Town, not much to do
- on Route 6, Snorlax blocks the way, so have to go to Parfume Palace for the PokeFlute

Rt 6/Parfume Palace
- obtained cut, won't use much
- help out the annoying Furfrou
- borrowed the PokeFlute

Back to Rt. 7
- wake up Snorelax
- ran out of PokeBalls before catching
- teamed up with Tierno, Trevor, and Calme
- learned about the Day Care and the Battle Chateau
- battled alongside Calem against Trevor and Tierno

Connecting Cave
- not much to do, healed up team with a nurse inside

Ambrette Town
- arived at the Fossil Lab
- moved towards the cave

Glittering Cave
- first encounter with Team Flare
- obtained Jaw Fossil

back to Ambrette Town
- revived Tyrunt from the Jaw Fossil, will stay in PC

Route 8
- obtained Dowsing Machine

Cyllage City
- obatained the green bicyle
- challenged Grant, lost 3 times, earning the Cliff Badge


I lost 3 times to Grant, before getting lucky enough to win, this is how the gym battle, correction, gym battles went:

Round 1 - Lost
Spoiler:

Flareon vs Amaura
Mozart (the Flareon) managed to get the battle started with 'Fire Fang', that Amaura had to use 'Thunder Wave'. Next up Amaura moved faster and used 'Aurora Beam' and it turned horrible for Mozart unable to move due to Paralysis. Amaura went for another 'Aurora Beam' once again Mozart couldn't move. I ended up giving Mozart a Paralysis Heal while Amaura uses 'Take Down', had Mozart use 'Bite' didn't do much, Amaura had to use the attack of my worst nightmare 'Rock Tomb', Mozart barely survived with 4 HP. I gave Mozart a Super Potion, Amaura had to use 'Thunder Wave' once more. Amaura moved faster and used Take Down', Mozart was lucky enough to land a critical hit with 'Fire Fang' and Amaura faints.

Zorua vs Tyrunt
Milo (the Zorua) starts off with 'Hone Claws' to increase his Attack and Accuracy, but Tyrunt's attack of 'Rock Tomb' lands a critical and almost faints Milo in one hit, leaves him with only 2 HP. Gave Milo a Super Potion and Tyrunt decides to 'Stomp' on Milo, hoped that Milo could attack first, sadly didn't happen, Tyrunt attacked with 'Rock Tomb' and faints Milo
Flareon vs Tyrunt
Poor Mozart didn't even get a chance to attack, one super effective 'Rock Tomb' from Tyrunt is more than enough to faint Mozart


Round 2 - Lost
Spoiler:

Flareon vs Amura
Well, here I go again, can't get passed Geosenge Town without the badge. Mozart starts with 'Fire Fang' once again Amaura uses 'Thunder Wave'. So far looking the same as the previous battle, Amaura used 'Aurora Beam' and Mozart can't move due to paralysis. Amaura used 'Take Down' this time Mozart managed to move and attacked with 'Ember' lucky for Mozart Amaura gets a burn. Next up Mozart can't move due to paralysis while Grant uses a Super Potion. Mozart managed to attack with 'Fire Fang' which lands a critical hit and even better Amura flinched and is still burned, one more 'Fire Fang' caused Amaura to faint.

Zorua vs Tyrunt
Milo (the Zorua) comes in once more, ready to battle and attacks first with 'Feint Attack' the Tyrunt attacked with 'Rock Tomb' not so much health taken off this time, to my worst horror, 'Stomp' from Tyrunt lands a cirital and poor Milo faints.
Flareon vs Tyrunt
Mozart comes in once again, this time it managed to attack first with 'Fire Fang', I knew it wouldn't do much as Mozart didn't have much against Tyrunt, luckily it dodged Tyrunt's 'Rock Tomb', hoped for a crit with another 'Fire Fang' no luck, this time it couldn't dodge the second 'Rock Tomb' and Mozart faints.


Round 3 - Lost
Spoiler:

Flareon vs Amaura
For the third time, Mozart the male Flareon battles against Amaura, as you might guess starts off the same was as before, Mozart attacks with 'Fire Fang' and Amaura used 'Thunder Wave'. Mozart is unable to move due to paralysis while Amaura used its 'Aurora Beam'. Next turn Amura managed to move first with another 'Aurora Beam' once again Mozart unable to move from paralysis, Amura decides to 'Take Down' Mozart while my fire fox used 'Fire Fan' enough to faint Amaura.

Zorua vs Tyrunt
Not Tyrunt again!! This Pokemon is giving me nightmares.
Milo the male Zorua starts off with 'Hone Claws' but Tyrunt had to land a critical hit with it's 'Rock Tomb' almost faints Milo leaving him with only 6 HP. I used a Super Potion on Milo, while that Tyrunt unluckily for me lands another critical hit with 'Stomp' took off half of Milo's health, I hoped to attack first instead Tyrunt went and used 'Rock Tomb' caused Milo to faint.
Flareon vs Tyrunt
This battle went horrible again for Mozart, unluckily for the 3rd time in one match, Tyrunt lands another critical hit with 'Rock Tomb' being super effective made Mozart faint


after the 3rd loss, decided to head up to Route 10 and do some training. At the time I encountered Grant, Milo was at level 24 and Mozart at level 25. Both of Grant's Poikemon are at level 25, both have Rock type, which both my team members are weak to, especially Mozart.
After the training both Mozart and Milo made it to level 27

Round 4 - somehow managed to win
Spoiler:

Grant must be thinking. 'You again, I hope your ready for another loss'
Flareon vs Amaura
Once again, Mozart the male Flareon, starts it off with 'Fire Fang' and to our luck it burned Amaura, it strikes back with 'Thunder Wave' this time I used Paralysis Heal and Amaura used it's 'Take Down'. I decided to try something new, I brought in Milo
Zorua vs Amaura
Amaura with low health due to it's burn, Grant used a Super Potion, had Milo use 'Hone Claws' once again, Amaura used 'Thunder Wave'. On the next turn Amaura used 'Aurora Beam' to my unlucky moment Milo couldn't move due to paralysis. I ended up using a Paralysis Heal, Amaura's next 'Aurora Beam' lands a critical hit so I had no choice but to use a Super Potion, thanks to it's burn, it slowly takes away Amaura's health. Next up it moved first with another 'Aurora Beam' luckily one 'Feint Attack' from Milo leaves Amaura with low health and the burn faints it

Zorua vs Tyrunt
Tyrunt! We meet once again!
Milo starts off with 'Feint Attack' the next attack from Tyrunt to my horror lands a critical hit with 'Rock Tomb' went for another Super Poriton, Tyrunt attempts to 'Bite' down on Milo, good thin that Milo is dark type, so it didn't do much. Next up Tyrunt moves first with 'Stomp' Milo tries it's best with 'Feint Attack' and to our surprise, it lands a critical hit
To our joyous surprise it was barely enough for Tyrunt to faint!!


Finally a big sigh of relieve!!

Don't like to double post, been a few days no posts
Here's my next update

Along this journey:
Spoiler:

Geosenge Town
- encountered Team Flare again
- Milo evolves to Zoroark
- encountered Lucario once more, challenged Korrina too

Reflection Cave
- battled trainers

Shalour City
- explored Tower of Mastery
- battled Calem
- obtained Mega Ring, which won't be useful for me
- obtained the Rumble Badge from Korrina


Battle vs Calem:
Spoiler:

Zoroark vs Meowstic (male)
Milo the Zoroark tried to get started but forgot that Meowstic learns 'Fake Out' so Milo couldn't move. Next up Milo starts off with 'Hone Claws' to raise attack and accuracy while the cute psychic feline uses a Fairy move 'Disarming Voice' but just one 'Night Slash' from Milo is enough for the cute feline to faint.

Flareon vs Absol
Mozart, the Flareon gets the match going with 'Fire Fang' Absol attacks with 'Slash'. Next up a 'Fire Spin' is more than enough for Absol to faint

Zoroark vs Frogadier
Next up Milo returns for another battle, no offense to it's fans will battle my most hated Pokemon evolution, so this battle will be fun for me.
Unfortunattely that ugly frog gets started with 'Quick Attack', Milo attacked with 'Night Slash', luckily on the next turn, it was able to attack first with one 'Feint Attack' faints the frog


Gym Battle against Korrina:
Being a gym battle against a Fighting type gym leader, Milo would be a big disadvantage, but the way I am, I always let all Pokemon battle. It was mainly Mozart that battled.
Spoiler:

Flareon vs Mienfoo
Mozart gets the match started against my former 1st favorite Pokemon, that super cute fighting weasel.
Mienfoo does get the match started off with 'Fake Out' made Mozart unable to move. Once Mozart could move it attacked with 'Fire Spin' while the cute weasel attacked with 'Power-Up Punch' increasing it's attack too. Mozart bites down with 'Fire Fang' caused the poor fighting weasel to faint, sorry 'bout that, still love you.

Flareon vs Machoke
I was expecting Hawlucha to come in next, looks like Machoke will be the next victim. Mozart starts off with 'Fire Fang' to my horror Machoke knows a super effective move 'Rock Tomb' and I tought it was going to be the end of Mozart, it managed to survive with only 4 HP, I risk and had Mozart used 'Fire Fang' against a half health Machoke, luckily it was a crit and was enough for Machoke to faint.

Zoroark vs Hawlucha

I promised myself, that if I have 2 or more Pokemon per team, at least more than 1 Pokemon would battle, so I gave Milo the chance, knowing very well it would be a huge disadvantage. Good Luck Milo! Wasn't expecting the ending.
Milo starts off with 'Hone Claws' and Hawlucha did the same 'Hone Claws'. time to attack, 'Nigh Slash' from Milo, once again another 'Hone Claws' from Hawlucha. I know Dark attacks won't do much on Hawlucha all Milo knows for now are dark-type moves, Milo attempts 'Foul Play' which leaves Hawlucha with low health, it attacked with 'Flying Press' as expected, Milo faints - to my good luck, thanks for the Rocky Helmet, Hawlucha faints too

Sorry if it's been such a long time
Kind of distracted with other teams and forums.

Just took down Ramos

Before the gym challenged by Calem

Spoiler:
Zoroark vs Meowstic (male)
Milo gets off started with Hone Claws, hope that Meowstic would use a different move as Milo came out disguised as Flareon - instead psychic feline used 'Disarming Voice', taking off about 1/3rd of Milo's health - one single 'Night Slash' is enough to make Meowstic faint

Flareon vs Absol
Mozart next up, starts off with 'Lava Plume' taking out 2/rds of Absol's health away, it does 'Bite' down on Mozart, one 'Fire Fang' makes Absol Faint

Zoroark vs Frogadier
Milo takes on Frogadier as the last battle, 'Night Slash' takes only about 2/3rd of it's health away, it did attack with 'Water Pulse'. Next up the ugly frog thing starts off with 'Quick Attack' one final 'Night Slash' is enough for Milo to win


After that battle with Calem, it was time to take on Ramos.
Spoiler:

Zoroark vs Jumpluff
Milo starts off with the gym battle - disguised as Flareon due to Illusion, 'Hone Claws' once more, while Jumpluff did managed to attack with 'Acrobatics' making Zoroark reveal itself, one 'Night Slash' and Jumpluff faints

Flareon vs Gogoat
Mozart takes care of the next two Pokemon - Gogoat is the first to go down.
Lava Plume' gets the match started, it almost fainted Gogoat in one hit, did survive, and it used 'Bulldoze' taking off 2/3rds of Mozart's health away.
For the next 2 turns it was the same cycle
Ramos uses a Hyper Potion on Gogoat, while Mozart uses 'Lava Plume'
On the 3rd and final turn, one 'Fire Fang' leaves Gogoat at very low health but it also got burned, and Gogoat faints from the burning

Flareon vs Weepinbell
Not much to say about Weepinbell though, it fainted quickly by one 'Fire Fang' from Mozart.

No new move sets
Mozart the Flaroen is at level 40
Milo the Zoroark is at level 39

4 badges now.
Next up is Clemont

The other 2 Pokeballs
one of them belongs to the starter, Fennekin
the second Heal Ball belongs to a Stunky from the other PokeCommunity challenge, mainly so I could transfer a Fire Stone
I'm sorry for replying to a post this old, but I was reading through the thread and saw this. You traded in the Fire Stone?
Just saying, it breaks the rules to do so, as it says any and all hacking/trading is forbidden except for a few exceptions, which this does not apply to one of said exceptions.

This is my first actual update, my original sign-up is in the OP because Necrum merged it to make me the owner.

Slight update:

Spoiler:
I grabbed a Vulpix from my Pokemon Bank and an Eevee from my Omega Ruby. Eevee was japanese and level 1, Vulpix was level 5 and apparently obtained via some Wonder trade ages ago. Anyways.... went through Santalune Forest using my starter, Fennekin, avoiding as many trainers as I could. Reached Santalune, boxed Fennekin in exchange for Vulpix and Eevee and backtracked to the forest. Then I realised I got mixed up and that Santalune Forest has no Moss Rock so I transfered the Eevee back to Omega Ruby and evolved it into Leafeon. Transfered it back and battled all the trainers I had missed.



Vulpix
Level 7 ~ Female ~ Flash Fire ~ Adamant
Ember ~ Tail Whip ~ Roar


Leafeon
Level 8 ~ Male ~ Leaf Guard ~ Adamant
Sand Attack ~ Tackle ~ Tail Whip ~ Natural Gift

Fun fact: My Eevee had Pokerus and now all the Pokemon I own on this save have it.

Whether you traded it in as an Eevee or a Flareon, it's still against the rules, since you can get a Fire Stone in-game.
Then I realised I got mixed up and that Santalune Forest has no Moss Rock so I transfered the Eevee back to Omega Ruby and evolved it into Leafeon.
Same as the situation with Poke Fox, since you can evolve Eevee to Leafeon legitimately in-game pre-E4, you broke a rule.
The moss rock is on Route 20. I know it's late, but it's still pre-E4 and available during the game.

So I'll move your guys' challenges to the rule-free section later.
And I added this to the OP because this seems to be something that's unclear.

Ah, sorry about that. It was indeed unclear. Feel free to scrap my challenge. I'll start over with a different choice of pokemon since I never got that far to begin with. Just need to look at what's available and what isn't and maybe just do a bunch of wonder trades to add some more pokemon to my bank. Was actually considering doing a run using Absol and some other pokemon that doesn't evolve and now you got me the reason to do it xD

I'm signing up for this, Duo-Species is one of my favorite challenges!

(However, as a rules clarification, one of my Pokemon is unavailable before the 1st badge, and the other is not in the regional Pokedex, so am I allowed to hack both of them in or just the one? And as far as Moon Stones go, they're available in the Underground and via Pickup, so I can hack one in as soon as I could access the underground right? Because they are otherwise unobtainable in Diamond.)

For all it's worth, I'm playing Platinum on my 3DS atm and I can access the Underground just fine even without any sort of wi-fi. So I'm guessing you'll be spending quite some time down there looking for that moon stone since it IS obtainable in your game. Just my 2 cents.

You can hack in both Pokemon, the only requirement is that they're legal.

But for the Moon Stone. As Ahri said, it's available in-game, so no, you can't hack it in.

Ok, quick update because I'm really into challenges and such:

Spoiler:

Highlights:
Buneary evolving to a Lopunny from an Ace Trainer on Route 216.
After catching 14 Cleffa in Mt. Coronet, I FINALLY got a Moon Stone to evolve Nidorina.

Currently grinding to battle the Elite 4.


Current Team:
Spoiler:


Stella the ♀ Nidoqueen | Lv. 55 | Rash | @Amulet Coin
Moves:
Surf
Earth Power
Shadow Claw
Sludge Bomb

Comments: I tried to make Stella a good mixed attacker, but all of the good TMs were special, so I'm thankful for all the coverage. She's definitely done really well, but I'm never disappointed in royalty.


Bambino the ♂ Lopunny | Lv. 53 | Serious | @Soothe Bell
Moves:
Dizzy Punch
Ice Beam
Strength
Jump Kick

Comments: I didn't really know what to expect from Bambino, because I've never used a Lopunny before, and let me tell you something. The fact that he started with a base happiness of 0 was AWFUL. He didn't evolve until level 43. I was so frustrated. Despite that, Bambino is an AMAZING physical attacker and makes up for all of the problems Stella ever had. He has not disappointed me yet.

Just sayin', wouldn't it have been easier to just to dig it up from the underground? It's also free, since you don't have to use any items like Pokeballs, and you can make some good money by selling the other stuff you dig up, like star pieces, rare bones, etc.

Probably would have lol, but Moon Stones are just as rare in the Underground as they are to be found on wild Cleffa, plus I had the amulet coin since before Hearthome City so I wasn't too worried about money.
