Good evening girls and ghouls. Here's some screencaps of current progress (sorry for any weird orientation; took these with my phone and I'm too tired to correct anything).





I've been binging through each playthrough (a few badges a session). Between Sun/Moon coming out and my new job on the horizon (I start in a matter of weeks once the background check is cleared), I haven't been dedicated to this challenge 24/7, but I'll try to have the League done before the end of the week.

That probably would have been done sooner if our computer hadn't been. Unhappy.

Phonophobia

Trainer: Phonox
Badges:
Zephyr, Hive, Plain, Fog, Storm, Mineral, Glacier, Rising
League
Boulder, Cascade, Thunder, Rainbow, Marsh, Soul, Volcano, Earth
Red
Team:

Kaleo
Feraligatr, M, lv.63, mystic water
Slash, surf, screech, bite
- Pretty good pokemon
- Part of the VS RED team

Thanh
Ursaring, M, lv.63, king's rock
Lick, rest, snore, slash
- Slash on ursaring is basically just Unfair. High Crit Chance STAB on a pokemon with ludicrous Attack.
- Part of the VS RED team

Symphony
Crobat, F, lv.62, blackglasses
Wing attack, supersonic, bite, confuse ray
- Pretty strong, just a pity about that lost attack slot.
- If we'd had Mean Look, then we could have used Perish Song against Red... but as is, he's basically the only AI in the game that has a concept of switching, I think.

Hibiki
Granbull, F, lv.63, quick claw
Headbutt, bite, lick, roar
- Yes. Maul all the opponents.

Ninad
Magneton, N, lv.63, pink bow
Thunderbolt, lock-on, screech, tri attack
- Thunderbolt is a blessing and I am Glad To Have It.
- Part of the VS RED team

Zvonmir
Miltank, F, lv.63, hard stone
Body slam, milk drink, rollout, heal bell
- Also Strong. Very useful when grinding... although we... uh... didn't do much after level 60... When we Probably Should Have.

Yin
Lapras, F, lv.63, nevermeltice
Surf, sing, perish song, ice beam
- Sing was friggin' VITAL in the fight against Red. That Espeon? It was Deadly. One psychic could basically take three quarters of any given pokemon's HP.
- Part of the VS RED team

Ayane
Tentacruel *, F, lv.63, leftovers
Bubblebeam, screech, barrier, sludge bomb
- I like her. Also Strong. Good pokemon all around.
- Part of the VS RED team

Ava
Dragonite, F, lv.62, dragon fang
Waterfall, wing attack, supersonic, twister
- Maybe we could have replaced twister with dragonbreath. I dunno.
- Part of the VS RED team
-~-

Echo
Jigglypuff, M, lv.28, -
Rollout, defense curl, sing, strength

Bathsheba
Slowpoke, F, 30, -
Surf, confusion, growl, curse

-~-

Cicada, paras, HM Master

-~-~-

Suggestion: If you're going to fight Red 20 levels underleveled... bring a Dark Type. That Espeon dude. Wow. WOW.

Pikachu we took out with Ava. Thanh'd be able to deal with it better (we know from having poked at Red multiple times and getting repeadedly blasted by the espeon and having to reload) but starting with Ava allowed us to get him to bring out his Blastoise instead of the murder cat.
Thunderbolted the Blastoise (did it use rain dance? Now I think about it, that'd have been useful against the murder cat)
Then Espeon.
Yin thankfully was a combo of decent Sp.Def, no type weakness to psychic, good-enough speed, and reasonable Sp.Att, and had Sing. Missed the first try, hit the second, then blasted it with Surf and Ice Beam.
I kind of... lose track after that? um.
I know we used Thanh and Kaleo, but. Drawing Blanks. Got all caught up in punching out the Espeon. I think... Maybe we used Kaleo against snorlax? I'm preeeeety sure we used screech and slash on it? ... and Thanh against venusaur?
Can't even remember what we did against Charizard? I guess it must have been the last, though, as we finished on Ayane.

And now you know what I do when I get bored~

Completed the Challenge! ^^

I have to say that I really liked this challenge :). It would be hard for me to say something about each party member, as each one of them had ups and downs, but in the end they were all equally useful. Although I really have to give credits to Espeon, as I could rely on her while other team members were still not fully evolved or lacked any good attacking moves. That said I really liked this Event and I hope that we get a new one soon! ^^

It's been a while since I last finished a gen 5 game, so it's nice seeing those credits again!

This has definitely been quite different, playing with only four types, and all of these have been Pokemon that I've never used before, except for Liepard, who was probably the weakest of the bunch, but I just couldn't say no to yet another chance to bring him along. A Liepard with Seed Bomb though is a first, I didn't know it could even learn it.

Having Spiritomb early helped a bit, especially if you're running around with two un-evolved Poison-types and, well, Purrloin; but both Koffing and Grimer improved a lot as they got better moves, and turned out to be amazing as soon as they evolved. These two were definitely my best players against the E4 and champ, and I'll definitely be using Poison-types a lot more from now on.

I wanted to have a Psychic-type on the team too, so I chose Gothitelle. She did a great job, though sadly she didn't see much screen time at the League, except against Marshal. I have to say though, she has the creepiest cry ever, and with that nickname and those looks, she was probably the scariest on the team. As for Drapion, well, she was caught quite late, but as soon as she evolved, she was unbeatable, landing even a few 1HKOs against the E4.

All that said, here's the final team!

Whoops, meant to close this the other night, but things got a little hectic for me. Anyway, thank you guys so much for participating! I hope you've all had a fun time with this event and maybe even conquered your fears. I, on the other hand, still am afraid of XY and don't wanna play it again any time soon. I'll see you guys for the next event. I've got a pretty awesome plan in the works and I hope you'll be able to join in. ;)
