You're welcome.

As for In-Order Challenge, you have to pick 6 Pokémon or evolution lines, whose regional number in Pokédex goes right after each other (excluding any exclusive line from other version from this sequence). For example in B2W2 this team could look something like this: Leavanny, Sunflora, Stoutland, Ampharos, Golduck, Azumarill. It's up to you what Pokémon you choose as starting point. Is that clearer?
Yes, I was thinking of national dex rather than the regional dex. I just looked it up and now it makes more sense. Thanks.

Anyone here knows if I can get Crobat before beating firered
Nope. You can't evolve your Golbat until you get the National Dex.

The Wonderlocke Challenge in Pokémon Ultra Moon

ATTEMPT 4 - PART 2

Right after getting the Z crystal, I was able to catch Alolan Rattata, who was actually Alolan Meowth. Abra was so shocked by this event that he evolved straight into Alakazam. Hala has no chance now.

On Route 3, encountered Cutiefly was traded for Eevee. I put it on team instead of Ralts, since I wasn't sure I want to use it and I wanted to keep Ralts in case Alakazam dies. But the encounters didn't stop and I got Caterpie on Melemele Meadow that was traded for Alolan Rattata and Psyduck in Seaward Cavern that was traded for Magnemite.

So before I challenged Hala, I once again swapped my team a little bit. I put Rattata in instead of Meowth and Magnemite instead of Eevee.

Battle with Hala was pretty straightforward. I sent out Alakazam and was able to sweep Hala's whole team without taking almost any damage.

Back to my favourite part of Wonderlocke - encounters. I got Zorua in Ten Carat Hill as my last Pokémon on Melemele. Akala Island gave me level 1 Shinx on Route 4, level 1 Tepig on Paniola Ranch and level 1 Rockruff on Route 5.

Battle with Hau was pretty easy, my Magnemite hardcountered his whole team, but it had hard time with Gladion. It took down his Zorua and Zubat, but I overestimated how hard can Type: Null hit with Pursuit, so another death of this run was sadly Magnemite. Back to square one with Shinx, since I was sure I won't be able to beat Lana's Trial without Electric-type.

After a short training, I went in Brooklet Hill and got lucky for once. Newly evolved Luxio paralyzed Totem Araquanid with Thunder Fang, but Araquanid's Bubble hit really hard. So I switched in Butterfree, who was able to tank it a little bit better and finish of Araquanid with Gust.

With Super Rod in my hands, I encountered Yungoos in Brooklet Hill.

My team is getting a little bit overleveled at this point, but I think it'll be okay in the end. I always try to use Pokémon with lowest level. And since I'm mostly playing in the evening and night, I have day time in the game. So my Rattata just can't evolve. I also feel like my team is more Kanto heavy than I would love to. And that's all for now.

Part 1

Update time. The first legal Pokémon I could think of that wasn't completely useless in battle was Psyduck, so I caught that. Also caught an Abra and Magikarp and kept them in the back for later. After catching a Geodude and soloing the first gym with Psyduck I reached Floaroma, and decided to grind Abra and keep Psyduck as a HM bearer. Magikarp would still have to wait a little bit.

I beat Mars with Kadabra and Geodude and headed north towards Eterna. Beat Gardenia with no problems and now I had a fully evolved Gyarados in my party. He helped defeat Jupiter's Skuntank with Intimidate and the help of Geodude.

Once I got to Hearthome, I grabbed the Eevee from Bebe and proceeded to challenge the gym. Gyarados had an easy time biting Fantina's Pokémon and another badge was acquired.

In the Solaceon Ruins, I grabbed the Thunder Stone and evolved Eevee into Jolteon. I also caught a Scyther on the route above. Scyther took care of Maylene with a Technician boosted Wing Attack and later I caught a Houndour on the route below Veilstone. I also spent some Game Corner coins here to buy Thunderbolt.

It turns out that purchase was worth it, since Jolteon swept Wake with Thunderbolt, with the exception of Quagsire which I taught Alakazam Grass Knot to deal with it.

Once I got access to Surf I sacrificed a move slot on Gyarados to use it practically, and went on my way to Canalave City. There, I battled Barry one more time and went to the Iron Island to grab Strength and the Metal Coat to evolve Scyther. I also battled the trainers there to get some levels for the gym, and Byron went by very smoothly once I taught Houndoom Flamethrower from the Ironworks.

I taught my team some HMs to progress through Mt. Coronet towards Snowpoint, and the route there was full of trainers. I reached the city and challenged Candice, the Ice type Gym Leader, which was a clean sweep from Scizor with Bullet Punch. I saved at Snowpoint at the end.

Part 2 - Final

Picking up this run from where I last saved, I leave Snowpoint to go meet Barry at the Lake Acuity. I have a brief encounter with Jupiter up there and soon it's time to storm into Team Galactic's HQ back in Veilstone. But first, I wanted to go grab a new friend.

I looked at my trainer ID and consulted a website to figure out where two of my save's Munchlax trees were. I discovered that two of them were in Floaroma Meadow and Valley Windworks, which are pretty close to each other, so I decided to go back and forth between them to search for the little bear. This took several hours and I even decided to settle on one of the trees. After many attempts, I was finally able to find a Munchlax, and successfully caught it.

Spoiler:


Grinded him to be on pair with my team and also decided to replace Houndoom with a Swablu I was using for flying for convenience. Acquired both Snorlax and Altaria and proceeded with the story.

Cleared the Galactic warehouse and battled Cyrus at the HQ. Was a simple fight, and so was Saturn soon after. I freed the Lake Guardians and taught the necessary HMs to my mons for the Mt. Coronet climb. I had the path memorized so it took me no time to get up there. The Multi Battle against Jupiter and Mars was a simple one, with Barry being more helpful than anticipated, and so I hopped into the Distortion World to find Cyrus.

We battled there, after a series of puzzles, which I was pretty underleveled for. I led with Snorlax to tank special hits from the Houndoom and took it out with two Body Slams. Gyarados was next and I let Snorlax faint to bring Jolteon out safely and fire off a Thunderbolt. Weavile came out after and KOed the Jolteon, but not before he was able to weaken it with a Double Kick. Scizor finished the Weavile off with Bullet Punch. He was also able to weaken the Honchkrow a little with Bullet Punch before a Heat Wave easily OHKOed it. Gyarados came out and beat both the Honchkrow and Crobat with Ice Fang.

After the battle, I went ahead and faced Giratina, which I had to KO.

Once back in the normal world, I backtracked to Mt. Coronet for two things. One was the TM for Dragon Claw which I planned on teaching Altaria and two, was Feebas.

I searched around the lake for a while until I finally found one Feebas tile in the fourth row. This one didn't take as long as Munchlax. Evolving it was also a bit annoying since I had to spend 50k on Poffins because honestly I couldn't be arsed to bake them myself, but not nearly as annoying as finding one. After that I just had to level it up once, which was pretty easy once I taught it Surf.

Spoiler:




Replaced Gyarados with the Milotic and proceeded to grind for the electric gym, since I was a bit underleveled and had no Ground-types on my team. I also taught Altaria Earthquake for a super effective answer.

The battle went fine. I led with Altaria expecting a Dragon Dance sweep but the Jolteon had Thunder Wave, forcing me to KO it as soon as possible and then switch out. I brought Snorlax out on the Luxray, but it froze me with an Ice Fang, making Snorlax almost useless in this battle. Milotic was able to take it out with Surf later though, and the same with the Raichu. Electivire was a physical mon though, meaning Milotic stood no chance against it. Altaria outsped it and finished the battle with Earthquake.

With eight badges acquired, the path to the League was unlocked. Victory Road was a breeze and I had a quick battle against Barry next to the entrance. After that, I stocked up with healing items and challenged the e4.

Aaron was a quick sweep with Jolteon, except for the Heracross, which I used Alakazam for. Bertha went down with a few Surfs from Milotic. I decided to mix it up with Flint and use more of my members, and it was a pretty close battle at the end. Lucian was just swept by Swords Dance Scizor.

Against Cynthia, I led with Scizor again to set up on the Spiritomb. It took it out with an Iron Head but she sent out Garchomp next, which had Flamethrower. I sacced off Scizor firing off a last Bullet Punch and brought out Milotic to finish it with an Ice Beam. She brought in Roserade and I switched to Altaria, set up a Dragon Dance, and took it out with Fly. Lucario was next, and an Earthquake barely didn't KO, making Altaria faint with a Stone Edge. She healed as I brought Alakazam to take it out with two Psychics. Milotic was next, and Alakazam did about half with Grass Knot, enough to make a Mirror Coat one-shot it. Brought in Snorlax to take it out with a few Body Slams while tanking her Surfs, and it was almost able to finish off Togekiss as well, but she barely could take Snorlax out with Aura Sphere. After that, I brought Jolteon in though, and finished the battle with a Thunderbolt.

So I'm going to try and get through the game with just a Meganium. Lets see how well this turns out, cause I think it will be a challenge. So I pick Chikorita as my starter and name him Oleander. Anyhow I quickly go grab the mystery egg, battle my Rival, and now decide to grind a little in Dark Cave to battle he Flying Gym Leader. Probably going to be level 16+ cause it would be easy to get up to that level. Along with I might battle Sprout Tower first if I feel like it/if the game makes me do so. Any Pokeballs and Revives I get I might just sell aside from catching the HM users that I'm going to need. I catch a Pidgey, Geodude, and Sentret so I have Fly, Surf, Strength, and Cut down. Now onto Sprout Tower cause Dark Cave wasn't giving me the exp needed. Along with just wanting to jump to the Gym Leader, but I'm probably underleveled. Plus never hurts and would get the TM Flash so that might be helpful later down the line. While I almost made my way to the head of the Sprout Tower I completely forgot about the types just being physical or special based off of types. Or I'm getting confused with that, but farily certain. Anyhow Sprout Tower was a clean sweep. I don't use the Escape Rope though cause I figured that I'd need it later down in the run opposed to having to go down 3 levels of Sprout Tower. I did run out of Tackles when facing the Elder's Hoothoot, but a lucky crit with Razor Leaf knocked it out. Now onto the Gym Leader. I think I'll battle the trainers first to get a bit more exp before I face Falkner. And as I entered the gym I sort of confused them for the remakes where battling the trainers was optional. Either way I was going to face them. While I was in Sprout Tower I did learn Poison Powder so I'll be sure to use that against Falkner's Pidgeotto along with setting up a Reflect on his Pidgey when it is one hit away so I don't take as much damage from Gust. Along with that I gave Oleander a Berry so once it gets low enough it can recover and then, if need be, heal it some more. And just like that I beat Falkner. He did put up a fight, but the strategy worked out well. Oleander also evolved so that's good! Now onto Bugsy!

Pokemon Silver Solo Run

So starting off I leave the gym and expect to just head off to the next town, but nope. Professor Elm pretty much gave me the egg, which I didn't really want, and made it mandatory that I picked it up. I'm going to, cause I have to, and then immediately box it. Not going to be using it or really hatching it so no point in keeping it in the party. I then reach Azalea Town and go over to Slowpoke Well to deal with Team Rocket which should be a piece of cake. And they were. And I just realized this might be a short briefing since I didn't realize the next gym was in Azalea Town. I thought it was in the next town, but whatever. Now gym time! I'm going to battle every single one so that I can get a bit more exp along with seeing the range for Razor Leaf on the different Pokemon. And once done I might use the same strategy I used on Falkner. On Bugsy's Kakuna use Reflect and once I get to Scyther to use Poison Powder and hit with tackle since Razor Leaf won't do much unless each hit is a Critical Hit. So battle time. Metapod is a two hit with Razor Leaf, but I doubt the other two will be. Out comes Kakuna and it has Poison Sting. I'm hoping I don't get poisoned since I don't have anything to really combat that. And the turn I set up the Reflect I get poisoned. Great...Out comes Scyther so I use Poison Powder and he starts building Fury Cutters on me. So this might be my funeral. I do have an Antidote so I use it, but I don't think I'm going to survive the next few hits. And my Reflect fades and I do faint so reset. This time I just have to hope I don't get poisoned. And I don't get poisoned this time, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to take out the Kakuna with one more Tackle. I attacked it and it did go down so I had to set up a Reflect on Scyther and....another reset. So...the strategy I thought of was poison stall him. Just heal each turn as he hits me since it isn't doing as much due to Reflect being up. So I'm either hoping he misses or the poison takes him out. And it works! Scyther misses a Fury Cutter and I was able to take it out. Though I think there was a better way since I did have an X-Attack in my bag, but maybe I'll use that against Whitney.

Now onto Whitney! I go towards Ilex Forest and get stopped by my Rival. Problem is I haven't healed from the gym battle so hopefully that doesn't affect the battle. And it doesn't really. I beat him without much worry so onto Ilex Forest. And the Farfetch'd Puzzle was...tedious to say the least since I forgot where I was suppose to even bring him. But, I managed and got the HM for Cut. And I'm at Goldrod City so Whitney time! But, before that I leveled up and learned Synthesis. I replaced Tackle, which I might regret later, but I think I'm set for now. And surprisingly Whitney was no trouble at all...So onto the next Gym Leader. On my way there there was a Psychic user who just spammed Flash with an Abra so the battle was dragged out for some time. And I make my way to Ecruteak City and challenge the theater so I can get the HM for Surf. And the first one I battled was the Flareon Kimono Girl who gave me trouble to where I had to poison stall them a little. Aside from the Flareon Kimono Girl, the others were fairly easy. I then decide to go to the Burnt Tower to face my Rival before I head to the Morty. And my Rival beats me mainly due to his Haunter using Curse. I decided since I couldn't beat his Haunter or hurt it much with Razor Leaf I replace Poison Powder with Mud Slap. But, I'm just going to attempt the Gym now since I didn't do much against my Rival's Zubat so underleveled in that sense. So Gym Leader time. First attempt I got a Critical Hit that knocks out his Gastly. Next up is one of his Haunters which he curses me with so I'm sort of on a ticking time bomb. i just hope I don't get put asleep cause that would really screw me. Midway throught the fight, Bayleef learns Body Slam which I replace with Synthesis due to it not being as helpful as I thought it would be. I would've replaced Mud Slap if it weren't for me needing it now and later for the Steel type gym. And the worst thing has happened and that is me getting put to sleep. And that is the end for that attempt so lets retry that. The second try Gastly puts up the Curse so this run is screwed. But, lets just see where it goes I guess. Once I got to Haunter I am already on 2 HP which isn't great. So I need to heal, deal with Curse damage, and pray that I don't fall asleep again. And another reset. But I did look up to see whether Ground type moves was Special or Physical and finding that it is Physical (Supposedly) I plan to first use the X-Attack that I have to see if that makes a difference. And it does work, but I reset since I was Cursed and put Asleep so no point in trying anymore. And this run I defeated the Gengar, but got cocky and didn't heal...and the last Haunter took me out...So this run I'm getting lucky. Gastly doesn't go for Curse nor does the first Haunter. The Gengar goes down with no problems this time and last is his last Haunter which gets taken down with ease. So after what I'd think took 7-10 attempts, I finally defeat Morty.

Spoiler:
So now onto the next few gyms! I go back to the Burnt Tower to retry the Rival fight and right off the bat his Haunter uses Curse. This might not go so well. His Zubat comes out and I one shot it with a Body Slam which isn't what I was expecting. I then get a critical hit on Quilava with Body Slam so that is helpful. Last, but not least is Magnemite which I just nearly one shot with Mud Shot. It was nearly a clean sweep, but guess the range didn't want to be nice to me. However, Magnemite misses it's Sonicboom so the only damage I took was the Curse damage. And that is the Rival battle! After the battle Oleander evolves into Meganium so yay! I make my way to Olivine City and go to the Lighthouse to talk to Jasmine. And it was easy to make it all the way up. So I then go to Cianwood to battle Chuck and grab the medicine. Anyhow I reach Cianwood, beat all the trainers, and now Gym Leader fight. I start off with Body Slamming the Primeape and I got the paralysis, however it hits me so that was somewhat pointless. Next is his Poliwrath which I'm not so concerned about and that is proven as he tries to go for Hypnosis which he missed so he was a two shot with Razor Leaf. 5th gym badge in hand now so time for the next few gyms. I question on whether to go for Jasmine or Pryce next. I decide to go with Jasmine and grab the Secret Potion for Amphy. So I fly back to Olivine City and gave Jasmine the Secret Potion. And as I go into the Gym Battle I realize...I forgot to heal from the Chuck battle. So this is most likely a fail seeing as I don't one shot the first Magnemite. But, the first one goes down as it misses it's Thunder Wave. Second is Steelix who is most likely going to take me out and surprisingly it didn't. I realized I had Super Potions so I used on and set up a Reflect as it misses another Iron Tail. Body Slam and Mud Slap does little to nothing, but Razor Leaf is the best option. Of course I get taken out by a critcal hit. So I have to sit and wait for the HM user Pokemon to faint so I can reattempt the gym. I would've saved and reset, but I was confident that Mud Slap would've done more and I thought I was fully healed. So I saved in front of her and attempt number 2. Magnemite starts the same way. Two shot with Mud Slap and it misses it's Thunder Wave. Back to Steelix this time I know it should be a two to three shot with Razor Leaf. And down goes Steelix after 3 Razor Leafs along with how inaccurate Iron Tail can be so...last Magnemite. The last Magnemite was also a two shot, but managed to actually hit me with Thunder Wave. Though it was to no avail since I didn't get paralyzed and won the 6th gym badge. That means just 2 more to get and I might even get to the Elite 4 and Champion very soon. Honestly I thought Meganium would prove to be a challenge, but hoenstly it has been smooth sailing. So off to Mahogany Town now. Once there I have to head off to the Lake of Rage so I might just faint the Gyarados along with deal with most to all the Team Rocket Grunts once I'm there. I managed to defeat the Red Gyarados and it did give me some knowledge for the future. If I was to stay a bit over leveled and used Body Slam against a Gyarados then it should be roughly a 3 shot. Luckily I don't take any damage from it due to paralysis. Anyhow Team Rocket Base time. I end up battling all the Grunts here and it was mindless grinding. I just watched some sewing and cross stitch videos as I fought so it was soothing and fun in my opinion. While fighting I had a choice of learning Light Screen. I choose to not learn it since I was thinking a few types that would be trouble were physical. But....haha I think most are actually Special. Regardless just....lets just go with Reflect. Anyhow Rocket Base is done and now Pryce! Once again I battle every trainer cause why not and they're all easy. And Pryce battle....every one of his Pokemon was a one shot with Razor Leaf. Only thing to note is I got a critical hit on Dewgong which I doubt really mattered. But, yeah....now just the Dragon Gym. First Goldenrod City with the Radio Tower. Once I deal with all of them in there I get the Basement Key and head to fight my rival. His Golbat and Quilava get two shot with Body Slam as they both get the paralysis from it so that is extremely lucky. Magnemite comes out, but gets one shot with Mud Slap. Next is Haunter who is a two shot with Mud Slap. It misses it's Shadow Ball so nothing to worry about. And last is Sneasel which is a one shot with Body Slam. Now Basement time aka grinding central. The basement and switch puzzle is getting to me cause I don't understand it. I manage to figure it out after what I'd say around 5 to 10 minutes. Anyhow back to Radio Tower I beat them, recieve the Silver Wing, and now plan to head to the next Gym Leader. I then make my way through Ice Path to try and get the HM for Waterfall which I find with ease. Anyhow I manage to make my way out of Ice Path and go straight to the Gym. It took me a few seconds to actually find it. Anyhow Gym Leader battle time. Probably just gonna use Body Slam against all her Pokemon. First Dragonair was paralyzed and didn't attack me. Second Dragonair paralyzes me. I use a Full Heal to cure the paralysis...to only get paralyzed again by Dragon Breathe. Anyhow I managed to beat the gym with the Body Slam strategy. I shouldn't have said no to learning Safeguard cause that would've made this much easier, but...yeah. I have to grab a dragon fang though which I do and then head off to the league. So I make my way to the league and get stopped by my Rival once again so last Rival fight. Sneasel is a one shot with Body Slam. Golbat is nearly a one shot, but it does get paralyzed. Typhlosion comes out and is a two shot as well and gets paralyzed. Once Typhlosion is down, next up is Magneton who is a two shot as well with Mud Slap. It then paralyzes me before I can take it out. Out next is Haunter which he barely does anything as I take it out with a critcal hit Mud Slap. Last up is Kadabra and I misclick and use Mud Slap instead of Body Slam, but luckily he only uses Future Sight twice. So overall nothing to serious. Now then Elite Four and Champion time! First is Psychic User Will and I don't think he will be much of a challenge. And he was until I met his second Xatu and his Exeggutor using Reflect. So I opt to reset cause I was wasting PP that I was going to need. Anyhow next attempt I defeat his team so one down three to go. Next is Koga who might be more trouble if he poisons me or decides to use Self-Destruct. And I was somewhat right...only I was poisoned, against a Muk that used Minimized, who got a critical Sludge Bomb. This time I make it to Muk without being poisoned. Of course he does get a Minimize, I miss and he Sludge Bombs me which poisons me. Crobat gave me no problems. All he did was a Double Team, which did nothing. And now last, but not least.....Forretress....huh...where'd the Weezing go? Regardless I don't have much that can do any signifcant damage to him...or so I thought. Surprisingly Razor Leaf does do a good chunk each hit so I just use that. As it was one hit away...it used Explosion which...somehow missed? Huh...never knew that, but whatever. Now Bruno time...and...Bruno is Bruno...not hard. Pretty much either Body Slam then Razor Leaf or Mud Slap. Machamp was almost like that, but got healed up. Though he was paralyzed and it took 3 Razor Leafs. And Onix...took one Razor Leaf so yeah Bruno is just easy. Now last, but not least Karen. I was worried about Umbreon so I went for Razor Leaf for either a one hit KO or at least a crit. Neither happened and it missed it's Sand Attack. Then I thought I would be able to knock it out with a Body Slam and it almost did, but I got the paralysis and it didn't get to hit me. And...it somehow survived...a Mud Slap...on 1 HP when it was in the red...Anyhow next is Vileplume who can paralyze me so I hope she doesn't do that. It goes for Petal Dance as I knock it out. Next up is Houndoom so I go for Mud Slap to lower it's accuracy. And it hit s a Flamethrower that nearly knocks me out. So I use a Body Slam to knock it out. Out next is Gengar so Mud Slap and Razor Leafs for it. I manage to get a crit on Razor Leaf which knocks it out and last is Murkrow. I use Body Slam which nearly takes it out, but I use a Razor Leaf for the win so now the Champion. So I didn't realize that the Max Ether was for one move. I got confused with another item so...lets Body Slam Lance's team! First out is Gyarados and I know he is going to be a problem. Or so I thought, but he was a 2 shot as he only went for Rain Dance. Next out is one of his Dragonites and oh boy...It goes for Thunderwave 2 times which missed on both occasions so I knock him out. Next is Aerodactyl and I use a Razor Leaf to see what it would do. It does half as it's Wing Attack barely does anything. So another Razor Leaf takes it out. Next up is Charizard and oh boy....seeing how Flamethrower nearly took out Meganium...and it does...cause it got a critical hit...round 2. Gyarados goes the same way. I decide to use a Dire Hit against Dragonite as it hits a Thunder Wave. It goes for Blizzard, but misses twice. I then went for a Full Restore to remove the paralysis. Aerodactly goes down to two Razor Leafs. And here comes Charizard again. Hopefully it doesn't get another critical hit Flamethrower. It doesn't and I am able to knock it out. Now just the last two Dragonites. First one is out and I paralyze it with Body Slam. It doesn't attack for two turns due to paralysis, but he does use a full restore. Though I do get a critical hit on the next body slam so I knock him out. Last one is out and I play it safe by using a Full Restore. It goes for Thunder Wave which misses. Next attack I get a critical hit Body Slam and nearly knock it out as it hits Thunder WAVE. But the battle is over as it misses it's Hyper Beam and I take it out with one last Body Slam. And there we go! Champion with just a Meganium. Honestly Meganium was extremely good with this run and honestly should get used more. Just as long as you know how to use it properly and if using good moves. Honestly I should've learned Safeguard to make both Clara and Lance a tad bit easier, but regardless I beat the game! Funny thing is...I reach level 61 and it is now learning it's final move which is Solar Beam. This would've been helpful earlier on, but now I don't need it.

So, here's pretty interesting thing. I forgot to post update 3 of my Ultra Moon Wonderlocke more than a month ago, so I'm just going to post it here in spoilers, while also posting part 4, because I don't want to have anything to do with this run anymore.

The Wonderlocke Challenge in Pokémon Ultra Moon

ATTEMPT 4 - PART 3

Okay, it has been a while since I updated and played for pretty nice part of Ultra Moon. I always said to myself that I need to write an update, but then continued to play, so I'll probably go quickly over some stuff that happened.

First, let's start with encounters. On Route 6 I got Pikipek, who was actually Cutiefly, Spearow while surfing Melemele Sea, Zigzagoon in Wela Volcano Park, Gastly in Kala'e Bay and finally level 100 shiny hacked Heatran on Route 7. I didn't want to send this abomination to someone else, so I just released it and counted it as no encounter for this route.

But now it's time for Totem Marowak. And once again, my team is not really made to counter it. Thankfully, while training on Route 6, Rattata evolved into Raticate and I had pretty decent Dark-type hitter. So I went with her and Crunch did pretty nice damage. But then... Marowak used Brick Break. Which is something I did not expect. And as you can imagine, 4 times effective move did a lot of damage. Good bye Raticate, you did a great job. The battle continued and I sent out Gyarados, whose Bites finished Marowak and Salazzle. So that was unexpected battle. At least I won.

Moving on, I got Luvdisc in Dividing Peak Tunnel and Charmander on Route 8. Pretty decent encounters. I also decided to put Zigzagoon on my team instead of Raticate, because it knew Ice Beam, which will be helpful in the next trial. It evolved after short training session.

Speaking of next trial, I decided to evolve Vulpix with the Fire Stone from Nursery. And then I realized that it won't be able to learn any new moves through leveling. So I might swap it out for Tepig later. Fighting Lurantis went unexpectedly easy. I started out with Ninetales and Lurantis did no damage at all with Solar Blade. Her SOS help Kecleon was the real threat here. I was able to set up Will-O-Wisp and Confuse Ray on both of them, but the battle was still long and full of healing on both sides. In the end, Ninetales' Ember and Quick Attack triumphed over Kecleon and Lurantis and I won another Trial.

What followed were more encounters. Crabrawler in Lush Jungle, Pikipek in Digglet's Tunnel, Wimpod on Route 9, Bounsweet in Memorial Hill, Rowlet on Akala Outskirts and Psyduck on Hano Beach.

The way to Olivia was pretty okay, I mostly lead with Linoone to level it up and Luxio to evolve it. Which happened in Memorial Hill. Now I have awesome Electric-type. I was pretty optimistic about the battle. I had enough Pokémon to take care of Olivia's Rock-types, so what could go wrong?

I started with Linoone and quickly beat both Anorith and Lileep with Ice Beams. Still with full HP, I decided to attack Lycanroc, but his Z-Move destroyed Linoone. I sent out Alakazam in, hoping he would avenge Linoone, since he's my strongest Pokémon, but Lycanroc was still faster and killed Alakazam with critical Bite. That... That was unexpected and hurt. And I also wasn't sure if I won't wipe here, since rest of my team was weak to Rock-types. I sent out Ninetales and successfully hut Lycanroc with Confuse Ray and WIll-O-Wisp. From there, it took few Embers to beat it.

So, my team needs some work now. I decided to box Ninetales and put Tepig instead of it and put Bounsweet and Zorua to my new free spots.

I quickly finished Aether Paradise quest and got to Ula'ula Island. The battle with Hau here was pretty intense. My new teammates were all underleveled and not prepared for this battle. But even when I was limited mostly to 3 Pokémon, I was able to win this fight without losing anyone. Luxray took care of Hau's Brionne, Tauros, Raichu and Noibat, while Gyarados took down Flareon.

And that's all for now.

The Wonderlocke Challenge in Pokémon Ultra Moon

ATTEMPT 4 - FINAL PART

I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but I think Alola games get pretty bad and boring after Malie Garden. Because of that I always played only for few minutes. And since there really wasn't anything to report here, I kept going through this cycle, while also getting more annoyed by the game and the fact that I should probably post here, but didn't really have much to post. And then I stopped playing at all.

So today I decided to finally rush through the rest of the game. But since I was getting even more annoyed with cutscenes and everything about this part, I kept doing mistakes. Mistakes that cost me my Pokémon. Tsareena, Butterfree, Caracosta and more died just because I wasn't paying attention, which made me even more angry, which in turn meant I was making more mistakes, letting more of my Pokémon die... You probably can imagine what happened.

But I still played more, totally uninterested in a game or a run itself. I just wanted to finish this so I can move on to next Bingo cell. And so I kept mashing A, sometimes moved when the game let me and I had probably the worst 'locke run ever. Which is sad, since Wonderlocke is favourite kind of Nuzlocke. Also I ended up in a hospital while playing this run and I think my 3DS has dead pixel or something on screen now, all because of this run and now I'm also worried about my console, since there aren't any more new 3DS or 2DS to buy in my country.

So, normally there would be my team listed, but I literally shut the game when my last attack beat Hau and I have no intention to ever open this save again. I'm looking forward better runs. Also no Pokémon died during E4, which was surprising.

Okay, I think I need to put some final summary. Last 2 months weren't really great for me. I was in hospital, I tried to take care of GT and had to do a lot of stuff irl, but also wanted to finish this run so I can do other stuff, since I always try to do only 2-3 runs at the time and I want to only do 1 Bingo run at the time. Which was really a reason why I just went and rushed through the game. This also made me realize that I play Pokémon because this section and Travel Logs needs to be alive and who else should post there if not their mod? This means that I spend many hours per week just playing and writing down stuff that I don't even enjoy anymore. And for what? So I can postpone inevitable end of the forum and this section once I can't mod here and few staple "challengers" leave. But I think I got a little off-topic. Ignore that. tl;dr I wasn't feeling okay and had almost no time to play, but still forced myself to beat the game, which killed any of my interest in playing Pokémon for a while.

The Stone Alone Challenge in Pokémon Black

REPORT

I was so frustrated from the last run, that I had to do a quick run through another Pokémon game. I so I decided to do Stone Alone challenge on Black.

And it cured me! I enjoyed every single bit of this run. And it wasn't just boring button mashing either. And I also learn some new things about Black. For example I always thought you can only get one elemental monkey on each save.

So, let's go over my team. I picked Snivy as my starter so I can get Panpour. At this point, I had no idea I can get rest of elemental monkeys, so this was hard decision to make.

Panpour easily beat 1st Gym and I quickly got Munna, whose Hypnosis helped a lot during Lenora fight. Then I was able to get Pansear and Cottonee and the rest of the run was pretty standard. I had no Ground-type Pokémon or move, so that made the whole run a little bit harder. I also had only 1 Ice-type move - Blizzard. Which missed only once or twice during the whole run.

I should also mention why I didn't pick Simisage. It's my favourite monkey, but also the only one I've used before this run. But now, I don't think it's my favourite anymore. Because they all are! For real. I have no idea why I never bothered with them, but both Simipour and Simisear were the MVP of this run. Even in the battle against Ghetsis, they were the only ones who survived:
Speaking of the last battle, it was probably the first fight, where I successfully used Curse twice. I did not have any viable strategy against Ghetsis' Hydreigon and Eelektross, so I had to put Curse, Leech Seed and Burn or Poison on them. Not my favourite strategy, but it worked. And Curse and Leech Seed can't be removed by Full Restore, so Ghetsis couldn!t do anything. Here's beaten Dennis:

So overall this was great run. I used new Pokémon and fell in love with them, found something new about Black and had fun. Which is the most important thing to do in games.

The Sunny Days Challenge in Pokémon Platinum

REPORT

I looked through my Bingo card and found out two things. I'm almost done and it will soon be 3 years since I started it. I should probably finish it before that.

Out of all my remaining challenges, there are 2 for Sinnoh, so I decided to tackle one of them. And after picking character for a Character Challenge for more than an hour, I went with Sunny Days instead. My team is almost mono-Grass and I only decided to use Pokémon that can naturally learn required moves and abilities.

I also had to use randomizer to give myself National Dex, so I could use Shiftry, which in the end didn't really do much to be honest. MVP of this run were Bronzong and Torterra, because their typing and tankiness. They were able to sweep whole Gyms just by themselves. I was kinda missing something against Dark and Flying-types, which made Murkrow especially formidable enemy. That first battle with Cyrus was awful as a whole. I wasn't prepared for his team. I wiped on Sneasel way too many times. But because of that I started using new strategy. I used Cherrim's Leech Seed and Leafeon's Sand-Attack to slowly wear my opponents down. I even used this strategy against Cynthia's Garchomp, who I probably wouldn't be able to beat otherwise. Funnily enough, the battle with Flint was one of the easiest out of the whole game, thanks to Torterra.

Overall, this was pretty good run. My unbalanced team made some battles really hard, especially Cyrus battles like I said above, but it also meant I didn't use my whole team. Shiftry and Tropius were pretty much carried throughout the whole game. And here's Hall of Fame:
