Team:

Low-Fat / Butterfree m Lv.48 @ Nothing
Sassy Nature (-Speed, +Sp. Def) / Compoundeyes
- Psychic
- Psybeam
- Gust
- Silver Wind
Gust has shaped up quite a bit, with STAB is actually quite powerful. Psychic and Psybeam are great moves, even without STAB they have really great power. Silver Wind has not ever been used yet, but with STAB I would assume it would have to be good.

Wuya / Haunter f Lv.37 @ Nothing
Naive Nature (-Sp. Def, +Speed) / Levitate
- Thunderbolt
- Lick
- Shadow Punch
- Giga Drain
Giga Drain is quite powerful, against the commonly seen Rocket's Sandshrew/Sandslash. Also, a STABbing Shadow Punch is awesome, it has great power overall. Lick is crap, but I have to keep it - it's part of the challenge. Thunderbolt is also awesome without STAB.

[Hallylicious]

Wow, I've been absent from this challenge for a while :S

Okay, so i bet Brawly with ease with over-leveled pokemon and then took the boat to Slateport where team Aqua we're lined up out the front of the museum. I followed Team Aqua into the museum and scared one of them off who gave me Thief. Then i went upstairs and found Captain Stern. I had to save him from some Team Aqua goons.

[~Hot n' Cold~]

Team:

Low-Fat / Butterfree m Lv.49 @ Nothing
Sassy Nature (-Speed, +Sp. Def) / Compoundeyes
- Psychic
- Psybeam
- Gust
- Silver Wind
Quote from Koga: "Gust has shaped up quite a bit, with STAB is actually quite powerful. Psychic and Psybeam are great moves, even without STAB they have really great power. Silver Wind has not ever been used yet, but with STAB I would assume it would have to be good."

Wuya / Haunter f Lv.48 @ Nothing
Naive Nature (-Sp. Def, +Speed) / Levitate
- Thunderbolt
- Lick
- Shadow Ball
- Giga Drain
Quote from Koga "Giga Drain is quite powerful, against the commonly seen Rocket's Sandshrew/Sandslash. Also, a STABbing Shadow Ball is awesome, it has great power overall. Lick is crap, but I have to keep it - it's part of the challenge. Thunderbolt is also awesome without STAB."

Tangled Up / Tangela f Lv.47 @ Nothing
Naive Nature (-Sp. Def, +Speed) / Chlorophyll
- Mega Drain
- Toxic
- Slam
- Vine Whip
Tangela is actually a bit of a beast. The nature is actually perfect, because it's not fast anyway and Grass is usually special. Mega Drain is not nearly as powerful as Vine Whip but it restores health. Toxic is a filler, and is better than Poisonpowder. Slam is also powerful. I don't have Ingrain because it doesn't have it when you catch it. I will have to relearn it at the move rembeber at 2 Island.

Mushymess / Grimer m Lv.47 @ Nothing
Timid Nature (-Attack, +Speed) / Sticky Hold
- Disable
- Sludge
- Acid Armor
- Screech
The only decent moves here are Sludge and Screech. The other moves, I honestly don't know why they are there. I can't learn moves after 40, so that means Sludge Bomb... anyway, TM's should be a huge help - if I could find any. The Nature is also crap.

 

[Phazon]

^I thought a naive nature meant +Speed -S.Defence.

EDIT:

Oh wait, you put that on Haunter. I guess Tangela was just a typo, sorry.

 

[~Hot n' Cold~]

Thanks, I didn't realize that.

Small Update: Just beat Giovanni, heading to Victory Road!

 

[King!]

:D Fawa, you can have a.... Swablu that must know Astonish until it evolves. Then, after it evolves, delete Asstonish for Dragonbreath, and keep Dragonbreath for the rest of the game. It must also know Perish Song before it battles anyone in the Elite Four.

 

[~Hot n' Cold~]

Fawa - you recieved:

That must know Poison Sting for the whole game.

 

[FaWa]

So much for an easy one lol. I'm horrible at level grinding, and Altaria learns Perish song at 62. (But I COULD not evolve Swablu until 53. That gives me Perish song a lot earlier.) Oh god. I hate Tentecruel, and Poison Sting is like the worst move it has.

Team so Far:
1. Tailow->Swellow. (No Normal Type moves or hold items)
2. Goldeen->Seaking. (Can not be taught Surf/Any TMs.)
3. Swablu->Altaria. (Must know Astonish until it evolves. After it evolves, replace with Dragonbreath. Keep Dragonbreath the whole game. Must know Perish Song before it battles in the E4.)
4. Tentacruel (Must know poison sting the whole game)
5. ________
6. ________

Also 4/4 pokemon are weak to electric attacks. Wattson should be a blast.

 

[Blues003]

Someone give the poor man a Ground type!

Oh, and don't complain. My Slugma has to keep SMOG. -_- xD

 

[mondays suck]

FaWa: I'll give you a Geodude then. Can't hold items, must always know Selfdestruct.

 

[FaWa]

Team so Far:
1. Tailow->Swellow. (No Normal Type moves or hold items)
2. Goldeen->Seaking. (Can not be taught Surf/Any TMs.)
3. Swablu->Altaria. (Must know Astonish until it evolves. After it evolves, replace with Dragonbreath. Keep Dragonbreath the whole game. Must know Perish Song before it battles in the E4.)
