Delibird's Stocking Stuffers

[Necrum]

What's this? Another Event in Challenges??? Indeed, we have 2 for holiday season this year. But where the main challenge focuses on Hannukah, Stocking Stuffers is much more cross denominational. Anyone can play these without resetting their games. Have fun!

Rules
1. Any and all main series Pokemon games are allowed. Your challenges do not all need to be done on the same save file, or same version for that matter. Mix & match all you want!
2. You may use any non hacked Pokemon you already possess to catch and train other Pokemon.
3. Any battle performed to redeem a challenge must be done with only Pokemon caught on or after December 1st, 2014. Catches and breeds for a challenge must also be done after this date.
4. The challenge ends when we reach 2015 in the United States Pacific Time Zone.
5. Post "It's cold outside" to confirm you read the rules.
6. On any given team, you may only have 1 legendary Pokemon, unless otherwise stated or required.

EDIT: It's cold outside

 

[Volga]

It's cold outside. It really is cold where I'm at, I hate it

-נ Nun [Nothing] (1): Post to claim this Lump and then do not play Pokemon for 24 hours

Doing this first to get it out of the way, lol

Now I have to occupy myself until 8:24 PM tomorrow.

 

[Pendraflare]

It's cold outside.

-נ Nun [Nothing] (1): Post to claim this Lump and then do not play Pokemon for 24 hours

Guess i'll have to keep myself occupied until 9 PM tomorrow (which shouldn't be a problem, given the English papers I have to take care of).

 

[Captain Gizmo]

It's hot inside

Boy... looks like my Omega Ruby and my 3 other challenges are on hold for now. Two challenge thread this year? I'll be busy :P

 

[AoTora]

It's cold outside, it's really very cold outside but we don't have snow yet :( It's supposed to come next week though :3

And yay two challenges :] Looks like I am going to have busy December this year :3

 

[punkysaur]

It's cold outside.Not so cold in my place.

 

[AoTora]

-נ Nun [Nothing] (1): Post to claim this Lump and then do not play Pokemon for 24 hours

It's cold outside.

 

[Necrum]

It's funny you all are doing Nun now, I sorta expected that to be the "Oh time to do family stuff for the holidays, I'll claim that and spend the day celebrating" thing

 

[Pendraflare]

Alright, guess i'll start my first real round of this.

Spoiler:

-נ Nun [Nothing]:So, after the previous post I made at 8:48 PM on Monday, I did not play any Pokémon until after 9 PM yesterday. +1 Lump of Coal

First Snow:

ASSUMING that Cryogonal can be caught in B2W2 this time, unlike in Stadium Arcadium where it had to be done in BW, I found myself this in Twist Mountain after a bit of searching. +1 Piece of Candy

Sleeping Under the Ice:

I caught Regice in Omega Ruby today with a Timer Ball. This worked rather well. +2 Pieces of Candy

ש Shin [Put In]:

I got TM90 for Substitute at the Game Corner in my secondary Platinum version that I did my Blue Mono-Color on not very long ago. +1 Lump of Coal

ג Gimel [All]:

And I used the leftover coins to go for the jackpot, which I eventually did get my hands on. +3 Lumps of Coal

ה Hey [Half]:

And once I made my way through the Stark Mountain sub quest (which I got through as quickly as possible), I got to the Resort Area and fought Gardenia, who left me on the verge of losing my hair when I first battled her. With some stronger Pokémon on my team, it was time for some REVENGE. No items or even losing anyone, even though she missed with Roserade's Leaf Storm when I switched in Glaceon. +2 Lumps of Coal

With Dreidel I Will Play: And with that I have all four sides of the dreidel, if i'm not mistaken. That immediately gets me the emblem! +3 Lumps of Coal

Pieces of Candy: 3
Lumps of Coal: 10

 

[Inkblots]

Hooray! I love these :D something fun to do when it's cold outside

Guess I'll start out with "Nun" since I'm not going to really have time to play until the weekend

 

[Hippowtom]

-נ Nun [Nothing] (1): Post to claim this Lump and then do not play Pokemon for 24 hours

So it's 7AM right now and it's cold outside. Let's collect this lump!

 

[Candy]

It's not cold outside~

This will be where I'll place my progress. Will edit when I have made progress obviously.

I will do Nun when I need it, and considering that I will face my exams next week, I'll do it next week.

 

[FSNW5yiFrXVXqv]

Claiming the Nun, so I shall abstain from this early eve 'til tomorrow's. Holidays would be spent poke-ing with cousins anyway. lol.

It's (pretty) cold outside.

 

[Kostucha]

Starting with Nun. It's 7.40 PM right now.

It's cold outside, so I might play other games or fold some Origami.

Sinbad the Sentret and Swishy the Ditto first came together at the daycare. They met and it was love at first sight. They made 3 baby Sentrets. The firstborn was a boy named Rico, the second a boy named Ronald, and the third a girl named Cindy. And then Rico found a fondness for Cindy and they had two children, a girl named Ritz and another girl named Pitz. Pitz and her father Rico left into the wild a few moments after Pitz's birth. So the holdiays are kinda complicated for them. But every year, Sinbad, Swishy, Ronald, and Ritz all get together to celebrate the pokemas. They give gifts and make more siblings, happily ever after.

-Imani [Faith] (3): Catch a shiny Pokemon without RNG abuse or Chaining (Red Gyarados in Pokemon Crystal)

Oh, I'm sorry, I meant to exclude the set shinies as well. The point was a random encounter not just a shiny in general.
