I'm not sure if I signed up for this, but I think I would like to do an ultimate challenge using Poliwag->Poliwrath

 

[TheMightyMrPlow]

Hey everybody. Just found this site and signed up because these look really fun. I've already beaten Fire Red normally and again for fun with a full team of Electrodes using Self-Destruct. It. Was. Awesome.

Anyway I've never done a Solo run so I'll give this a shot.


I've already gotten my Tauros directly after I got my starter. I'll update after the next gym battle.

 

[myrrhman]

Perfect timing! I'll put you in with everyone else for the past like 10 pages. *Sigh, why did I let it get this bad?*

EDIT: AND EVERYTHING IS UPDATED!!! I put everyone on the challengers list if you applied in the past month, or if you applied earlier and have documented progress in the past month. I updated the champion list through the last time it was updated.

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANYTHING: I'm not perfect, and could have missed something. If you beat something and didn't get credit for it, or if you signed up last week and weren't added, PM me and I'll fix it for you.

Thanks for sticking to this challenge in my absence, guys. I really appreciate it.

Also, special congratulations goes to Lord Storm, who became the fifth person to finish the Ultimate Solo Challenge. He used a Venusaur.

ALL HAIL WARDEN MYRRHMAN!!!

I finally see my name!!! *tears of joy*

Update #1

Spoiler:

Wow this beginning has started out rough. I used a code to encounter a tauros straight after I got Pokeballs, so I could have one at the beginning of the game. That proved to be a chore in itself. Managed to get his health down to a sliver and it still took ALL FIVE POKEBALLS. I was very lucky to get him on that last one or I would have had to buy more. But I got him, his name is...

ZEUS

We took off and fought every single enemy and trainer we found, since he was underleveled at the time it was dificult. After we made it to Pewter city I didn't want to wait, and neither did Zeus. At level 9 we took on Brock. I severely overestimated how much damage a normal attack does to rock. It took five potions and a LOT of repeated tackles but Oniz went down.

After that we went to Mt. Moon and that was also difficult. That place is crawling with Geodudes and we know how he does against rock-types. We fought every trainer and got every item in there, while gaining some levels and moves and a Paras names Mr. Slave on the way, but we finally made it out. We then arrived in Cerulean City.

Current status:
Zeus - *pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Level - 20
Moves:
Tackle
Rage
Pursuit (Dark attack. Will take Misty's Starmi out very fast)
Horn Attack

It has been done. I am the first ever (official) Solo Challenge Champ on Pokémon Black! *happy dance*

And damn, it was a tough journey right there at the end. Here are the details(mostly - I'm still leaving out major game spoilers):

Spoiler:

-Journeyed through Victory Road
-Arrived at the Pokémon League
-Healed, stocked up, saved, and entered the plaza
-Battled all four Elite Four members (side note: in Black/White, there is no forced order that you must challenge them in; they have the same number of Pokémon and the same level spread - three level 48, one level 50)
*Shikimi - Ghost Types: Fairly simple with Shadow Claw.
*Renbu - Fighting Types: Actually gave me a hard time; Fighting types are a pain to beat with a Steel type. Also, F*CKING STURDY.
*Giima - Dark Types: Brick Break, thankfully.
*Caitlin - Psychic Types: Yes, the Caitlin from the Battle Castle. Anyway, Shadow Claw once again.
-Headed to face Adeku, but major storyline spoilers took over. Let's just say that Team Plasma intervened.
-Spoilers, spoilers, GIANT STORYLINE MAKE SENSE MOMENT, and more spoilers
-Beat the game, but not the Elite Four. THIS ISN'T OVER YET.
-Flew back to the Pokémon League and took them on again
-HUGE LEVEL DIFFERENCE WHUT. They seriously jumped from level 48 to level 71. WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN.
*Shikimi - Shadow Claw was still the main tactic, but it took some luck (critical hit FTW).
*Renbu - HOLY POP TARTS IN A PENCIL SHARPENER, THIS FIGHT WAS LIKE MISSION FREAKING IMPOSSIBLE. I had to revive Razor so many times that it's not even funny. And again, F*CKING STURDY.
*Giima - No harder than the first time, surprisingly.
*Caitlin - A little tougher, but thank God for Steel's resistance to Psychic.
-And finally.... ADEKU!
*Champion Adeku - Very odd team, but most of the battle was won with Earthquake. And more luck.

And that makes me the new Champion of the Isshu Region! The strange part is that I've beaten the whole game and haven't even visited three cities. Time to explore for fun! ;D

Update #2

Spoiler:

>Not a whole lot to say about my progress after the last update.
>After I stopped the last update I went to Bill's fighting every trainer on the way.
>I beat Misty by OHKOing both of her Stars and the same for her Trainers.
>Thanks to Misty I now have a move that can actually do some damage to rock types, Water Pulse.
>After that I went through every trainer I could find, made it to the S.S. Anne, again every trainer, and took out Gary.
>Still haven't had to use a second move on anyone.
>Got cut and gave it to Mr. Slave.
>Beat the third gym.
>Went through Rock Tunnel.
>Made it to Lavender town.
>Got "Return" from the girl south of Lavender Town.

So I finally started the last part of my USC with Fireheart, aka Arcanine (At least till B/W comes out in US). Doing the Sinnoh region on Diamond.

Spoiler:

• Named self Cyrus, rival Zane as usual. Picked Piplup, named her Penny.
• After the initial plot stuff I hacked in a Growlithe on Rt. 202, which is where it can be found with a dongle.
• Also caught a couple HM slaves - Wings (Starly) and Derf (Bidoof). Boxed Wings and Penny as they won't be needed till later.
• Made my way to Jubilife City, where I got a Town Map, TM 10 Hidden Power, and a Poketch.
• Going east, Fireheart had his first battle against Zane.
  
  
  
  
  Starly and Turtwig were no match for Fireheart's Bite and Ember.
  
  
• Arrived at Oreburgh City, getting Rock Smash along the way, which I taught to Derp.
• Found Roark in the Mine, and then taught Hidden Power to Fireheart - AMAZING! HP GROUND FTW!!!
• Back in the gym, Fireheart took on Roark.
  
  
  
  
  Armed with HP Ground, Fireheart OHKOed Geodude and Onix, then 2HKOed Cranidos.
  
  
• Checked the power of Fireheart's HP Ground - it is 47, which ain't horrible.
• In the second level of the Oreburgh Gate, I got Flash and caught a Psyduck named Pain, who was taught Flash immediately.
• Arrived in Floarama Town after going through Lost Cave, and dealt with the Valley Windworks crisis.
  
  
  
  
  Mars' Purugly was powerful, so after a Super Potion, Fireheart took it down with a crit Bite.
  
  
• After healing up, I went north, and after beating a bunch of trainers, I ended up in Eterna Forest.
• I took Cheryl through, not really grinding at all as Fireheart didn't need it.
• Arrived in Eterna City and got Cut from Cynthia, which I taught to Derp.
• Challenged the gym.
  
  
  
  
  Fireheart OHKOed Gardenia's three minor grass-types with Flame Wheel, then 2HKOed Roserade for the win.
  
  
• After that, I went up the the Galactic building and proceeded to wipe them out.
  
  
  
  
  Jupiter's Skuntank got a crit with Night Slash, so I had to use a Super Potion, but Fireheart handled it easily, 3HKOing with HP Ground.
  
  
• Got a Bike from the guy I saved, then took it down Cycling Road.
• Dawn then showed up with early Christmas gifts - a VS Seeker and a Dowsing App for my Poketch.
• Found the Revive on the ground, then healed up in Oreburgh.
• Went underneath the bridge to Wayward Cave.
• Led Mira out of the cave, fighting all the trainers in the process.
• After emerging, I pressed on east, eventually meeting Cyrus in Mt. Coronet on the way to Hearthome City.
• In Hearthome City, I helped out the judge, then talked to her again in the Contest Dome to unlock the routes out of Hearthome.
• In the middle of the city, Zane came out of nowhere.
  
  
  
  
  Fireheart has Fire Fang now, which made for easy pickings.
  
  
• Saved and quit after the battle.

The next step is to go to Pastoria City by way of Soleceon Town and Veilstone City.

Team Cyrus:

Fireheart the Naughty Growlithe, ♀ - L31
Ability: Intimidate
Moves: Bite, Hidden Power (Ground), Fire Fang, Take Down

Pain the Mild Psyduck - L12, ♀
Slave Moves: Flash

Derf the Quirky Bidoof - L3, ♀
Slave Moves: Rock Smash, Cut

In the box are Wings (Starly, ♀) and Penny (Piplup, ♀).

PorygonZ, can't you do screenshots? Just curious, since you never do them.

 

[myrrhman]

CONGRATULATIONS TO WINGMAN!!! 1st challenger to ever beat B/W!

Everything is updated in 2 minutes.

 

[stargate1995]

Welcome back Myrrh :). Looking at the new updated challenger/victor list I would just like to point out that you have forgotten to put down that I have finished the Ultimate solo with Kabutops, the post should be around page.....Something......Something.....10? Maybe I'll check :P.

EDIT: Yes it's the first post on page 10, anyway because I feel like it(and I just managed to get a 90% translated version of black :D) and I feel as if the Ultimate hasn't really been finished without doing this, I'm going to playthrough black with Metagross then Kabutops to truly complete the Ultimate solos I finished awhile ago. Anyway for now my biggest problem will be finding out how to get some lvl 5 belums/kabutos into the game....

EDIT(agian): Found a wild pokemon modifier pretty fast so I can now proceed to the mindless part of every Beldum challenge where you spend an hour training it so it doesn't have to use takedown to kill everything.

 

[myrrhman]

Oh damn, didn't see that. Don't know how I missed it.

ALSO CONGRATULATIONS TO STARGATE1995 FOR BEING THE FIRST TO UMC TWO POKEMON!!!

PorygonZ, can't you do screenshots? Just curious, since you never do them.

Well, I did some screenshots only in Fire Red's Trio Species Challenge, and after that... nothing.
If you're fine, when I'll finish the Sapphire part of the Solo Run, I'll do some HoF screenshots.
And, most of the time, I don't like to wrote too much :D

Anyways, I started the Sapphire leg, but I preferred to cheat a Lv. 5 Trapinch in Route 102.
I got the 1st Badge and now I'm in Dewford.

Myrrh, just gonna say that its probably a good idea to put up a little information about black and white on the main post, pretty much saying that it isn't needed for ultimate solos (yet) and pointing out that the finish point for them is after actually defeating the main storyline(meaning it'll be kinda like red seen as you don't verse the champion until finishing the main story line, which happens to include beating the elite four members and some.....other stuff which I wont mention for spoilers) incase anyone(like wingman, and me in the case of my ultimate) wants o atemp soloing these games.

EDIT: So far I've only earned 3 badges and am just leaving artys gym, haven't really done much but thats mostly because of the extremely boring time I have training Beldum until he evolves in Metang, ow well he's evolved now so I should be able to do alot tomorrow. Anyway will being bored training Beldum I created a little Metagross userbar :P.
