Ultimate Solo Challenge Update #8 with Weedle on LeafGreen
I'm having tons of fun with this, lol. Here's another big update:
-I continued on to Fuschia City, and got Surf & Strength with the Safari Zone quest.
-Then I entered the gym, and beat a bunch of guys in there since there was more psychic pokemon that poison almost.
-One trainer had 2 Arboks and a Sandslash. The Sandslash used multiple Sand-Attacks on me. When I got to the second Arbok, I was in trouble. I had on Weedle 3+ Sand Attacks, 2 Intimidates, and 3 Screeches. That's when I learned an amazing trick. I ran out of PP and started using Struggle. It did tons of damage to him, and allowed me to pretty much sweep the whole gym. Since then I haven't been using anything else. I have a picture of me beating Koga at the bottom of this post.
-With Struggle's awesome power (Seriously, it's just stupid lol) I went and cleared all the TR Grunts I hadn't beaten in the Silph Co, and all the guys I skipped on Cycling Road.
-I traveled south, and cleared all the trainers on the way to Cinnabar Island, passing through Seafoam Islands on the way.
-I got the key from the mansion, and beat all the trainers in there.
-I went and beat all the trainers except the leader in Blaine's gym.
-Since I needed to be a higher level to compete with Blaine, I went and beat my rival in the Silph Co, and Giovanni, so I got Lapras and the Master Ball.
-I still needed to level up, so I beat the Fighting Dojo, and Sabrina's gym. As I was exiting the battle screen for Sabrina, I realized I hadn't taken a screen shot, so instead I took a picture of her explaining the Marshbadge to me, which is at the bottom of this post.
-I then went and found 2 Rare Candies I had missed, and used them and another I had so Weedle could level up more.
-Finally I could beat Blaine, but only by stalling out Growlithe's 5 Fire Blasts, then using Guard Spec (Arcanine has Intimidate) and 6 X Attacks, and a Dire Hit, and then OHKO everyone. Arcanine needed a critical hit because he was just that strong. There's a picture of that too at the bottom of the post.
-Bill dragged me off to the Sevii Islands. It was kinda annoying since I wanted to go fight the 8th gym, and my HM Slaves weren't with me. I hadn't ever been there before since I've only beaten the original Blue, not the remake.
-After that I went to the 8th gym, which really wasn't hard at all since ground doesn't do much to Weedle, especially with his great defense. I beat Giovanni on my first try (pic at bottom again).
-As of now I'm saved right before I fight my rival again, with Weedle at level 83.
Here's the four pictures (Because somehow in 8 updates, 4 of the gym leaders are in 1 update). As before, the reason the quality sucks is because I play on an actual GBA, not an emulator, so my pictures are taken with a cell phone camera.
