Update:

After catching the red Gyarados, I calculated it's Hidden power, turns out it is Grass, 70 base power. I teached it to him and it prove suefull on my way to Cianwood. I caught a Mantine, but Graveler died in the process. Then later on a trainer, Mantine and Onix died, and Gyaradosses Strenght PP was empty, so i decided to teach him Hidden power to have a good weapon so far.
Entered the gym so I could get HM Fly and go grind up Mantine after.
I beat the gym easily using only Gyarados.
Got HM Fly, but I have no pokemon that can learn it. Why do I have 2 flying types when none of them can learn Fly >=(

Will continue later.

[mondays suck]

Finally challenged and beat the Elite 4 now.

*bulbagarden.net image removed*No problem at all. He didn't use Psychic against Alakazam and all other moves his Pokemon have are ridiculously weak (yes, even against Alakazam nothing did much) while Alakazam could kill all of his Pokemon by having super-effective moves against their secondary types.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Alakazam and Machamp (only for Muk) beat him without any problems at all.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*His Onix somehow got a Sandstorm up, because of that Alakazam had like 5 HP left after this battle. But since it's a glass cannon anyways, this did not really matter.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*The only thing that hurt me was Murkrow, because it survived a Strength from Tauros. Houndoom used Roar instead of hurting me, I never knew before it has that move.
*image removed*The only hard one. Took me 4 attempts because of myself being either stupid or unlucky on the first 3 ones. His Gyarados and first 2 Dragonites always got OHKOd. Aerodactyl not. Sudo was my best bet against it, but it often died (I hate flinches), giving Charizard the chance to sweep my remaining team. If Alakazam died, the last Dragonite was a problem as well. When I finally won, I had only Machamp with red HP left.

Team changes:

Lv.39->Lv.44
Gained 5 levels in 5 battles. Need to say more?

Lv.41 -> Lv. 44
Leer -> Cross Chop
It actually played a bigger role than the text above says. Mainly against Karen.

Nothing changed.

Nothing changed.

Small update:

Challenged the Cianwood gym and beat it With Gyarados using Surf and Hidden power. Surfed back and went into the lightbhouse to give Amphy her medicine. Then I went into the route above Olivine (16 I think, might be wrong) to grind up mantine and I found an Entei! I decided to weaken it since I had no pokeballs left after Mantine. It's Surf did a decent part. Funny thing is that I never ever found Entei in another route before!
I beat team rocket in Mahogany and beat Pryce EASILY using Mantine's Swagger and Headbutt, Surf for Piloswine. Then teached him Icy wind.

Team:
Mantine lvl 35
Surf
Swagger
Heabutt
Icy wind

I love confusion and flinching!

The rest of the team stayed the same, except for a few level-ups

[mondays suck]

An entire level 100 team? That's more than just impressive, the last time I had one it took me months to get it...

 

[11wildy]

Update:

I pwned the rest of the rockets underground, now going back into the radio tower to beat the last ones. Onix is still weak, too low attack stat. gyarados Special attack sucks too, it is time he gets a Physical attack other than Strenght. Graveler is still my main Physical attacker. As for mantine, I love him! <3
I went up to the highest floor and started the battle with the woman there. I sent out Onix and she sent out Arbok. I got paralysed by Glare and I kept getting fully paralysed or flinched by Bite so Onix died ._.
Graveler then finished Arbok off, but died to Vileplume due to getting low Magnitudes. Finished Vileplume off by Mantine, but then died to Murkrows Night shade XD
Gyarados then brought that one down. Then giovanni was easy by just Using Gyarados and Surf! Went on to beat Suicune, Mantine used Swagger and heabutt to beat it. After 2 Icy winds I could outspeed and flinch him.
Went trough Ice cave and chalengging the Dragon gym.

It wasn't too hard. The Surfing Dragonair was beaten by mantine's Icy wind.
The Thunderbolting Dragonair was nearly beaten by Graveler, but he got some parahax against him. Onix finished it off.
The Ice beaming Dragonair was beaten by Mantine.
Kingdra was Confused by mantine, but Hyper beam hit and KOed. gyarados attracted him and Kingdra missed her only chance to attack.

NOw gonna train a bit on the road below blackthorn. Beat all trainers there. Went on to the league without any problems.

The league challenge!!!
Will:
Mainly walling/Confusion,Flinch by Mantine.

Koga:
Rollout sweep from graveler.

Bruno:
Gyarados beat Hitmontop, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Onix, while Mantine used Swagger to beat Machamp.

Karen:

Lance:
Gyarados went down by my Mantine, Swagger proves usefull yet again! Dragonite was used to set-up Rollout with Graveler, which took down 2 Dragonites, Aerodactyl and Charizard after a missed attempt. The strongest Dragonite went down by a lot of Revives and waiting for some lucky hurt itself in confusion hits.

[Esp1222]

I got the word:
Spring

I guess that means mainly grass types? I don't know. Someone help me out with this.

 

[mondays suck]

Not only grass types, pretty much all Pokemon that you could imagine to not be present in winter, but come back in spring. Like Bugs or Birds. Or maybe even stuff that is likely to do winter sleep like Ursaring.

New Word: Night
​

Hmm, wonder what types I'll be using....

Umm, I'm going to have to cheat for this, sorry. I'll update as much as before.

 

[Team Rocket's Raichu]

My word is: Infallible.

I guess I'll use Pokemon with a Base Stat of over 400 or 500 at the second evolution.

But I'm going to start later. It's kind of late were I live.

I don't think you would have to cheat, night doesn't necessarily mean dark-type Pokemon, it's more like nocturnal Pokemon. And there are a lot of them even early on, like for example Hoothoot, Spinarak and Zubat. No need to cheat.
