Challoween!

[Ciax]

I'm done, was lots of fun

Beat Drayden easily with Crimson and got through victory road, did some Audion training.

Elite Four
Marshall
Valerie had a field day here beating three of his pokemon before succumbing to a rock slide. Crimson finished off.

Caitlin
Kruger had a good but run but his frail defences and lack of a strong special attack meant he couldnt stay fighting after two pokemon. Once again Crimson finished off.

Shauntal
Team effort here, with Tricky even helping with Jellicent. Lumiere had a battle with her Chandelure and just pulled through. Valerie didint do to well though....

Grimsley
Tricky got OHKO on his liepard. Valerie just beat his scraggy with air slash. Nymph beat his other two pokemon.

N
Crimson beat his Zekrom with 2 dragon claws. Nymph took his two fossil pokemon out. Kruger got a focus blast off on his Zoroark and Lumiere fire blasted klinklang and Vanniluxe. Pretty tough battle

Ghetsis
Crimson crunched away Cofagrius. Seismitoad was too slow too outspeed nymphs giga drain. Got extremely lucky with hydreigon, Kruger hit him with focus blast, hydreigons missed and my next focus blast hit as well. Focus blast took down his bisharp as well. Crimson and nymph finished the battle of with elecktross and boufallant respectively

[phonastik]

Just got badge number 7. Finished all the spooky areas. Might just have this polished off by tomorrow night. I've found out that Lopunny is actually a decent Pokemon. Who knew! The whole team is in low 40s at the moment. I have yet to find a Pokemon that can learn Rock Climb, so I'm Bibarel hunting at the moment because I don't want to teach it to any of the team.

 

[Arnold]

I'll be dropping out because my save file just disappeared and there's no trace of it. There's still time but I don't like backtracking. Thanks for the opportunity.

 

[waters_echo]

Just beat the league. Finding the Cats to get at Ho-oh is going to be annoying (unless I cheat to meat them for the first time and then hunt then with the dex)

Update Final:

CHALLENGE COMPLETE!
Unless you want me to capture Duskull, too.​

Spoiler:

Beryl @ Metronome
Level: 58
160 HP / 90 Atk. / 216 Def.
63 Sp. Atk. / 184 Sp. Def. / 72 Spd.
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Sturdy
➠Rock Slide
➠Iron Defense
➠Stealth Rock
➠Avalanche
As you go through the rest of my team, you'll notice Beryl's the only one in the high 50s. Why is that, you may ask? The answer is simple: I took on the E4 with Beryl alone (I kept the rest of my team on me, but I never used any of them, not even for reviving Beryl). I accomplished this by using X Sp. Defs., X Attacks, X Accuracies, Dire Hits, Iron Defenses, and Stealth Rocks. Even with Spiritomb and its goddamn Embargo I managed to survive Cynthia. Avalanche is a great physical move if used the right way, as is Rock Slide.

*image removed*
Jing @ Expert Belt
Level: 48
175 HP / 93 Atk. / 93 Def.
89 Sp. Atk. / 92 Sp. Def. / 59 Spd.
Nature: Impish
Ability: Storm Drain
➠Earthquake
➠Waterfall
➠Ice Beam
➠Surf
The Amazing Dying-and-Reborn Guy? More like The Amazing Surviving Guy. That's right, this is the same exact Gastrodon I caught waaaaaaay back at the Valley Windworks when she was still a Shellos at level 8. I am telling the truth in that Jing never fainted; if she had then EQ or Ice Beam probably wouldn't be there.

*image removed*
Fia @ Luck Incense
Level: 48
125 HP / 84 Atk. / 59 Def.
123 Sp. Atk. / 108 Sp. Def. / 118 Spd.
Nature: Lonely
Ability: Levitate
➠Perish Song
➠Shadow Ball
➠Mean Look
➠Pain Split
After finding out I couldn't get an easy second Dusk Stone until AFTER I beat the E4, I went and caught myself six Pachirisu. Yes, six. All with the Pickup ability. Then I got them to level 31 (with the exception of the first, which at the time I hadn't thought of using six at once). At level 31 they have a very low chance of picking up a Dusk Stone. But I took that chance and after four days or so I got me a second Dusk Stone, which I immediately used on Fia. But enough on that. Instead, let's talk about how amazing Mean Look + Perish Song + Pain Split is. When the going gets tough, I send out Fia for KO'ing a Pokemon that is annoying to KO. On top of that, Pain Split helped me catch Mesprit (though I really didn't need to do so).

*image removed*
Shiloh @ Wide Lens
Level: 49
123 HP / 80 Atk. / 56 Def.
57 Sp. Atk. / 49 Sp. Def. / 83 Spd.
Nature: Calm
Ability: Inner Focus
➠Screech
➠Foresight
➠Brick Break
➠Shadow Claw
Shiloh is the only Pokemon of mine with the same exact moveset since the last update. He's gotten a bit harder to train since everyone started using fully evolved Pokemon, but he was still handy to have around every now and then.

*image removed*
Neku @ Shell Bell
Level: 47
137 HP / 124 Atk. / 66 Def.
67 Sp. Atk. / 99 Sp. Def. / 139 Spd.
Nature: Mild
Ability: Pressure
➠Night Slash
➠Revenge
➠Taunt
➠Slash
It took me FOREVER to evolve Neku (even longer than it took for me to evolve Fia), and I never really used him after he evolved, I'm sad to say. But Neku was good about taking certain Pokes out while still a Sneasel, so at least not everything went to waste.

*image removed*
Morrigan @ Amulet Coin
Level: 46
153 HP / 135 Atk. / 55 Def.
132 Sp. Atk. / 56 Sp. Def. / 84 Spd.
Nature: Mild
Ability: Insomnia
➠Psychic
➠Roost
➠Nasty Plot
➠Haze
Despite having a higher Attack I still planned on making Morrigan a Special Attacker. So I gave her Psychic! Totally clever, amirite? ...That aside, I didn't make much use of her either after she evolved (as you can tell by her level). I also ditched her for my Bibarel HM Slave when going through Victory Road and pretty much any other place that required moves like Rock Climb, Strength, and Rock Smash.

MVP: Definitely Beryl. How many people can say they took on the entire E4 with a single underleveled Pokemon that wasn't legendary, pseudo-legendary, "OU", etc. without cheating? Well, probably plenty, but that's besides the point!

Overall: After beating the E4 I made sure to get data on Dialga so I could get the Nat. Dex. Then I hit the Old Chateau and caught Gastly and Haunter. It then took me a while to realize I could only catch Gengar at night and that I was in a different spot. So I waited for night to come, and went to get Rotom. After that, the first Gengar killed itself with Curse, but I managed to capture the second one.

Being done with the Old Chateau, I hit the Lost Tower. Seeing how I already had Misdreavus/Murkrow and Gastly, I just needed Zubat and Golbat. I caught both of those. I'm hoping I don't need Duskull since that can only be found in the Lost Tower in Plat., but if I do I'll see what I can do!

Oh and I'm 99.9% certain I got all the items and I'm 100% certain I beat all the trainers.

 

[waters_echo]

Question:
Is it okay if I Shark to find the Cats so that I can chase them, rather than leaving it entirely to chance? (I have already spent a day of time trying to hunt the two of them with the Repel Trick, with no luck)
(And I honestly mean solely so that I can chase them- I don't mean to catch them with cheats)

 

[Togetic997]

I'm really sad I had no time for this challenge. I had no weekends to play because of soccer, and weekdays are usually busy. I'll probably finish the challenge eventually, I just won't be able to post updates on here. :(

 

[phonastik]

Sigh. I thought I'd be able to get it done. It's the 31st here in Australia and I'm about to go to bed, by the time I wake up the deadline will have passed. I have had exams, though. Oh well. Next challenge, I suppose.

 

[Haru]

Just to be sure. i posted enough info showing that i completed the challenge right? XD

Go for it.

Uhh yeah there's a crown by your name. I would have said something if you didn't post enough.

It's currently 1 PM Central. There's still 11 hours left before the deadline. HOO HAH. Good luck! The thread will be locked at the crack of dawn on November 1st.

 

[waters_echo]

With eight hours left (from what I can tell) I'm chasing the cats.
And OH let me tell you.
Not only are they playing sillybuggers with me*, they've started route-skipping when I go through one of the gates that leads onto the route they're on (but not when it doesn't.)
T`_T
I hope they pick to stay in one of my greatballs soon *cannot attack them anymore due to HP*

(*you know, the thing where you go onto a route, and they're on the next route, so you can't get to them becasue they'll move, and the second you turn onto a different route, they're on the route you were just on. And they just keep doing it, again and again)

-~12:05PM~-
AHAHAHAHAHAHA A`"A I have you now raikou (This is obviously affecting my coherency and sense. Right now I hate these Cats)

I think my brain is starting to run out my ears.
Entei plays sillybuggers!
*five minutes later*
Wild Entei Appeared!
EYES uses Mean Look!
ENTEI ROARS!
A`-0
REPEAT ENTIRE PROCESS AGAIIIINNNN...
-~12:38~-
Finally get route that entei is on
Put Echo first
Run around without Repel Trick
Use Hypnosis once entei appears
Switch to EYES*
Mean Look
Start lobbing Ultra Balls, even after it wakes up
Entei... DOES NOT use roar
EYES faints
Switch in Echo
Hypnosis
Lob more Balls
...
Lob Great Ball
Entei is caught! *facepalm*

So now we have Ame, Rai and Ryo.
TO HO-OH!
...
Also I should go buy more Balls >`_>;

(* I had to raise a second zubat to get both speed and meanlook)

-~-~-
AND WE'RE DONE
FINALLY
Three time league champions, eight badges, somewhat disturbed mentality, and an urge to punch the legendary cats later, we're done
Froze Ho-oh on the third turn, so that was actually fairly easy.

PS: I'm getting rid of the ugly "for: finish halloween challenge" part edited out soon. It wasn't supposed to be in it, just letting you know.
