2nd Gen GSC Word-Themed Team Challenge

the regular updating is getting a little bit boring, so I'll only do gyms from now on.

Lt surge's gym is beaten easily with Graveler and Onix.
Sabrina's gym was a little problematic, but a critical hit Strenght from Gyarados beat Alakazam.
Erika's gym was kinda hard, Mantine died after beating Tangela, Gyarados nearly died at the rest, but won. Graveler and Onix wouldn't stand a chance!
Janine was easy, too underleveled.

Caught Snorlax inbetween!

No problems at Misty, Zap Cannon did a lot! The last pokemon Starmie had to get killed by Snorlax, since I ran out of PP.
Brock was totally easy with Surf!
Blaine was the easyest ever, since all pokemon except Snorlax were super effective to his pokemon!


The battle with Blue was pretty epic! I started Rollout with Graveler and beat Pidgeot, but got stopped by Exxecutor. That one got beaten by Swagger/Wing attack mantine. Then Alakazam came out and I Swaggered, but died. I switched to Gyarados and started healing every pokemon. once done Gyardos dies. Alakazam got beaten by Snorlax Shadow ball. Then he dies by Rhydons Earthquake. Mantine beats Rhydon and Swaggers the incoming Gyarados, but he uses Hyper beam. I hang on on my Focus band and heal. Then I die by Hyper beam. I send out Onix to heal again. It died by Hydro pump, while my slave died to Hyper beam. I send out mantine for a Swagger again. I used 1 revive, but he hit another Hyper beam. I sent out Gyarados too, but he is out of Hyper beams and he can barely touch me now. I use the time to heal everything up and then kill with Zap cannon. Then i beat Arcanine with Surf.

*the end* XD

Now onto red, which I expect to get hard! My worst nightmare would probably be my quad weaknesses. The water/Flying to Thunder and Ground/Rock to Grass and Water.

Mantine lvl 50
Surf
Wing attack
Swagger
Headbutt

Graveler lvl 49
Rollout
Strenght
Eplosion

started my diabolical challenge:

-chose totodile to start
-caught a growlithe soon after
-beat falkner easily
-beat bugsy easily as well.
-got the mystery egg, luckily hatched a smoochum.
-lost to whitney a few times
-managed to grind both croconaw and smoochum to level 30 to evolve them
-beat whitney with only a feraligatr
-beat morty quick with growlithe.
-currently: not wanting to surf to mahogany.

my team has to be a team the devil would use, so my team is based on the idea of satan destroying the world.

irwin lvl 32
"image removed"
-Scratch
-Leer
-Surf
-Bite
A bipedal crocodile is frightening and looks like something satan would want in his army of evil and stuff. And it looks like it could chase you which is TERRIFYING.

roy lvl 34
"image removed"
-Bite
-Take Down
-Leer
-Flame Wheel
What would satan ride? Well, not this, but when this thing evolves and turns into a goddamn liger, he'd ride it. He'd ride it good.

lovely lvl 32
"image removed"
-Powder Snow
-Confusion
-Dizzy Punch
-Lovely Kiss
This one was purely chance. A smoochum hatched from the egg, which i was hoping for, so now i'm using it. This is satan's bride. She kind of looks demonic, and she's called "Jynx", so i think she'd be a fitting satanic bride.
 
Here's the battle you all waited for!

11wildy VS red

VS Pikachu
Earthquake is the answer to all.

VS Espeon
Hyper potion to stall out his Psychic PP, then Shadow ball him to death.

VS Snorlax
Stalled his Body slam PP out, then switched to start a Rollout sweep with Graveler and killed Snorlax with it.

VS Venusaur
Mantine Swaggers first, Venusaur uses Sunny day. Then I use Wing attack, but he KOs with Solarbeam. Sent out Gyarados and revived Mantine. Venusaur hurt itself in Confusion, so I can now fully heal Mantine with a Hyper potion. Then he hurts itself again adn I use Strenght. Then he uses Synthesis. :( Sunlight faded. He used Sunny day, while I missed Zap cannon. Then he nearly KOed with Solarbeam, but I manage to pull of a Zap cannon. Then it's a while where I keep healing and using Strenght, until I get a crit and KO!

VS Blastoise
Blastoise hit 1 Blizzard while I spent the rest of my PP off Zap cannon, but only hit the last one. I use an elixer. Then he gets a lucky critical hit Blizzard. I use Mantine to heal gyarados. Blastoise got out of Blizzard PP the same time. I use Swagger, parafusion + Flinch hax killed him.

VS Charizard
I thought he'd be easy, but the first Rollout wasn't enough to KO, and his Flamethrower 2HKOed. So I just used Mantine's Surf, while his Wing attack doesn't KO Mantine. Surf was KO after Rollout damage.

My team:
Onix wasn't good at all, though his high defense and decent speed helped sometimes. In the beginning he got a lot of help from Screech. His attack was just too low.

Graveler was my main physical attacker and he was good at it, though his low speed let me down sometimes.

Gyarados wasn't good. His Special attack was just low and he got only Strenght as physical attack. Though he had enough bulk to heal some pokemon in my battle with red.

Mantine was just awesome and the best pokemon in my team! He had high HP and Special defense and could hit hard with Special attacks. Swagger/headbutt combo was deadly troughout the game!

Snorlax only beat 3 pokemon lol. Though I liked him. I had a Sleep talk set with Body slam and Shadow ball, which worked for me. I feared Espeon a lot, but he beat him!

I am the winner of the weight challenge!
_______________________________________________________________________

my next challenge gives me the word (after a lot of useless words):

Exploding!

BOOM! I guess I'll have to use Graveler again XD

Team:
Weezing
Graveler
Electrode
Forretres

That's all pokemon that learns Explosion.

they won't all be learning Explosion though. Will start later.

I've decided to give this challenge a go. The word I got was "fourteen", so I've decided to only use pokemon who's number is a multiple of fourteen:
E.g.
014 Kakuka
028 Sandslash
042 Golbat

Very much doubt I'll be using Kakuna though.

I'm starting on Crystal with Chikorita, which will evolve into Meganium (Number 154, which is 14 x 11).
 
General network error (0x80004005).

That's the error I get on the website, I've tried two different browsers. If anyone would like to actually generate one for me, feel free to. I don't want to cheat and find a word to get all the pokemon I want.
 
I'd preffer mine to be completely random also, otherwise I tend to refresh and find one that I like more. I'm not too sure if I'm meant to be using a regular random generator on any site, or one on this site, too. xD Haven't found one on here yet, so if you pick one for the poster before me, one for me too would be excellent. : D

*awesome to the person finding the shiny Diglett!*

alright thanks, appreciate it...wind wind wind..

I'll probably be using pidgey because it can create wind with its wings. Maybe a really fast pokemon because it can make wind when it runs..err...yea ill think of some more.

Alright, I found pokemon that can learn whirlwind via level-up and breeding.

Butterfree, Pidgeot, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Zubat, Aerodactyl, Hoothoot, Yanma, Murkrow, Skarmory, and via event, swinub.

I'll be looking at pokemon with very high base speeds aswell.

Base speeds higher than 100 on Gen. 2 or lower: Aerodactyl, Alakazam, Crobat, Dugtrio, Electabuzz, Electrode, Espeon, Gengar, Jolteon, Jumpluff, Lugia, Persian, Raikou, Rapidash, Scyther, Sneasel, Starmie, Tauros.

Quite a bit, I'll be thinking about my team and mix the 2 together.

Ok I've decided to eliminate the following: Aerodactyl - have to trade via chansey, chansey is rare in gold. Lugia and Ho-Oh are too far in the game for me, aswell as raikou.

Ones left: Pidgeot, HootHoot, Alakazam, Crobat, Dugtrio, Electabuzz, Electrode, Espeon, Gengar, Jolteon, Jumpluff, Persian, Rapidash, Scyther, Sneasel, Starmie, Tauros, Yanma, Murkrow, Sneasel, Skarmory, Swinub, Butterfree. I'll look for version exclusives now and rule them out, aswell as other locations of pokemon. This is going to be a while to figure out what team I'm using. I want about 4-5 pokemon with 1-2 HM slaves, so I don't have to grind as much.

Another edit, I'm ruling out alakazam and gengar unless someone can help me by telling me how to trade over to a game and trade back.

So far my thoughts: Noctowl, Crobat, Espeon, and err..Jumpluff? I don't know. I need some help. Thanks lol.

Word: Stickiest
I had a hard time thinking of these ones, so I hope that they're okay. Other poster got an easy one, but I guess it makes it more interesting if it's tricky. ;P

I was originally going to try for a team that could learn moves that were sticky, like Lick, Spider Web, Sludge, etc. but I figured that it'd be difficult to show that it's a sticky theme. Then I figured I'd go exactly by my theme word, and find the "stickiest" Pokemon of the Kanto and Johto regions, and this is what I came up with:

Ariados - learns moves like Constrict, String Shot and its signature move Spider Web.
Victreebel - pitcher plants trap prey, and Victreebel also learns constricting moves.
Shuckle - learns constricting moves and in Pokedex entries, he creates a gooey liquid when making berries.
Octillery - has suction cups, spits ink, and has a rather sticky moveset in the Gen 4 games.
Lickitung - its Pokedex entries state that its tongue is sticky, learns constricting moves.
Muk - he's sludge. 'Nuff said.

I can't post pics just yet, but I'm going to start this straight away. Hopefully these guys are okay to use.
And hey! Most of them can learn the "sticky" moves I thought of, anyway. ^^

Edit: I own a copy of Pokemon Crystal, but I'm in the middle of doing stuff on there, so I'll stick with emulator on this.

Onix/Steelix can learn bind/constrict, in a way you could consider that sticky, lol.

Narrowing things down: Electabuzz, in kanto, ponyta, too far in, staryu its rare (i guess), dugtrio - kanto, skarmory - a bit rare,

im not really liking this word. too hard to narrow things down.

I found another random word site and got hateful...i'll have to decide. I also got meek:
Mild of temper; not easily provoked or orritated; patient under injuries; not vain, or haughty, or resentful;forbearing; submissive.

help me decide lol

Actually: I'll stick with wind so it's fair. My team will be Noctowl, Pidgeot, Jolteon, Crobat and Haunter, I'll find a way to make it Gengar.

Using an emulator, Pokemon Gold. Wish me luck, I'll update when I beat falkner.

Alright some updates:
Chose starter: Totodile, named it HM Slave, as it is the best out of the 3 for an HM Slave I believe.
Got my PokeDex and owned my rival, named him Shemale, because honestly he looks like a girl.
Before that, I got my Hoothoot, at level 4. I grinded it to Lvl. 11, where it learns peck.
I went through and beat the first trainers to the cave and found a Zubat. I caught it, at lvl 3.
Went through Sprout Tower, found a Gastly Lvl 5. Got zubat to lvl 6 throughout the tower, mostly by baiting.
Beat the gym, Falkner was too easy.

Hoothoot Lvl. 15
Tackle
Growl
Foresight
Peck

Zubat Lvl. 7
Leech Life
Supersonic

Gastly Lvl. 5
Hypnosis
Lick

Totodile (HM Slave) Lvl. 6
Scratch
Growl

Can't believe I already have 3/5 of my team already. One I'll have to grab in the morning and the other will come later.

One more update for tonight:
Got through the cave thingy, beat Team Rocket at the slowpoke cave. Accidently fought my rival before the gym, which I didn't mean to, but I beat him anyway, quite easily I might add. Bugsy was a disapointment, well, not really. Hoothoot just destroyed all of the trainers/him or her. I found out Gastly levels up very easily.

Hoothoot Lvl. 18
Hypnosis (Deleted wrong move, lol.)
Growl
Foresight
Peck

Zubat Lvl. 12
Leech Life
Supersonic
Bite (Finally, a decent move!)

Gastly Lvl. 16
Hypnosis
Lick
Curse
Mean Look

HM Slave (No HMs yet)

Egg

Don't feel like finding the fancy pictures like the rest of you, if you tell me where I can find them, that'd be great. Challenge has turned out to be fun so far, if anyone can give me tips on trading with a vbalink or something, help me out.

Ok one more update tonight.

I'm having a lot of problem's with Whitney's Miltank. More to say rollout. I'll be getting Gastly to a Haunter and Zubat -> Golbat before trying again. Hopefully Hypnosis hits next time -.-

ONE MORE UPDATE TONIGHT - I JUST HAD TO BEAT HER!!!!! -

Alright, I didnt get either pokemon to evolve but they're both close. My strategy: take out Clefairy with Noctowl. Then, with Gastly, hypnosis (WORKED!) and then curse. Use a super potion and switch to zubat and use confuse ray. Zubat got koed by rollout on first hit. Second hit miltank got gastly to 5 hp, then she was 1/4 hp, then I put her to sleep with hypnosis. Miltank died to curse. Only way I could have beat her -.-.

Noctowl Lvl. 21
Hypnosis
Growl
Foresight
Peck

Gastly Lvl. 22
Hypnosis
Lick
Curse
Night Shade
Gastly needs better moves.

Zubat Lvl. 21
Leech Life
Supersonic
Bite
Confuse Ray

Togepi Lvl. 5
Growl
Charm

HM Slave Lvl. 6
Cut

I'm evolving Togepi into a Togetic, it's going to replace pidgeot. Togetic is flying, so it can technically create wind, and uses wind to fly. That's how I see it :D

The time is 8:35pm

I'm standing outside Dark Cave right now. It's dark out, and the mosquitos are a pain in the butt. Violet City is just a few minutes away, but I need to spend some more time training this little guy.

He's a Spinarak who I've named Lumeran. I caught him just a few minutes ago, but he's already growing on me. The Cyndaquil I recieved from Prof. Elm really didn't catch my attention, and though I feel bad for doing so, I'm going to store him in my PC until I can find a person who wants him. This Spinarak, I know will struggle against Falkner, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway. Challenges are always fun.

- Current Team -
"image removed"
LUMERAN ♂ Lv. 7
- Poison Sting
- String Shot
- Scary Face

Don't mind much about the journal-styled thing. I just wanted to play around a bit. xD
 
Argh, why does stuff always happen when I'm NOT present? Seems like I live in the wrong time zone.
So: Thanks for helping out Gold, welcome to ... actually everyone in this thread since I have been to lazy for welcome greetings up to now. Same goes for winning congratulations.

You can't be on all the time, it's perfectly acceptable. I was probably on at 11-12 pm last night which is kind of late. I'll update this with my upcoming stuff later.
 
An update from my progress lastnight. Since my last update, I caught a Bellsprout and named her Orchana.

* ~ Falkner ~ *
Battle Participants: Lumeran/Spinarak Lv. 16, Orchana/Bellsprout Lv. 11
- Pidgey fainted after two Poison Stings, piece of cake.
- Pidgeotto was a bit harder, but luckily, Lumeran's Poison Sting poisoned on the very
first turn. He withstood two Gusts before poison KO'd Pidgeotto.
- Orchana didn't even get a chance to fight. Lumeran stole the battle. Brave little Spinarak. owo

* ~ Bugsy ~ *
Battle Participants: Lumeran/Spinarak Lv. 19, Orchana/Bellsprout Lv. 18
- Metapod got Night Shade'd.
- ...so did Kakuna.
- ...and Scyther.
- Wow. Again, Orchana didn't get a single minute in battle. Who knew a Spinarak could kick so much ass? xD

* ~ Ryoji ~ *
Oh yay. My rival... =__=
Battle Participants: Lumeran/Spinarak Lv. 20, Orchana/Bellsprout Lv. 18
- Gastly got Night Shade'd. This is getting repetitive...
- Zubat got Night Shade'd too. I'm surprised how useful that move actually is. :3
- Orchana finally gets a chance to fight, and destroys Croconaw with a couple of Vine Whips. Easy~

Cyndaquil finally gets a use (temporarily) on my team as the Cut slave. But of course, he'll be replaced by a better and more useful HM Slave later on. ;D

I'm actually enjoying keeping a log of all of this. xD Most fun I've had on these games in a long time!
 
Another update...

I moved from Goldenrod up to Ecruteak City. I cleared the route to the left and went to Olivine City. I defeated all of the trainers in the lighthouse then traveled back to Ecruteak.

I had already gotten surf. I beat the Gym with ease. My only problem was his Gengar, but it wasn't very hard because it put my Haunter to sleep, then I switched in Golbat and it tried using dream eater, but it failed. I then confused it and bit it to death :P. After that I surfed across, didn't really fight many trainers (like 3?). I've beaten the gym trainers but I need to get strength first.

Team:

Togepi Lvl. 22
Growl
Charm
Metronome
Sweet Kiss

Noctowl Lvl. 26
Hypnosis
Growl
Reflect
Peck

Golbat Lvl. 26
Leech Life
Supersonic
Bite
Confuse Ray

Haunter Lvl. 26
Hypnosis
Lick
Curse
Night Shade

Eevee Lvl. 20
Tackle
Tail-Whip
Sand-Attack
Growl
HM Slave (Totodile) Lvl. 6
Cut
Surf

I haven't used any TMs yet, all the moves on every one of my pokemon are pretty bad so far except Night Shade and hypnosis..

Edit: Beat Chuck, was pretty easy with Haunter, I need to make it a Gengar somehow. Jasmine was tough, I had no super-effective moves and the only good move was Night shade that would work. I lost the first time. I luckily won the second time. First 2 magnemites were easy, hypnosis and 3 night shades each. Steelix tough as usual. I used hypnosis without fail (so lucky) and used curse. Curse is probably the most effective move my team has. It woke up 2 turns later and killed me. I put in eevee and tried to get as many sand-attacks off that I could, and I got 2. Then it died so I put in Golbat, and the last curse effect killed Steelix, my team needs some more grinding now.

Haunter Lvl. 29
Same move set as before.

Golbat Lvl. 28
Same as before

Noctowl Lvl. 28
Same except fly instead of growl

Togepi Lvl. 23
same as before

Eevee Lvl. 20
Same as before

HM Slave
same as before

And in my PC is Shuckle, that has strength.

Another Update:
Caught Red Gyarados. Defeated Team Rocket and caught an Electrode (most likely in-use) Defeated Mahogany Gym.

Levels/pokemon are the same just 1-2 levels higher.

Seeing as I've never tried a team challenge before, this one sounds like a good one to start with. I was actually quite lucky with the word that I generated:

Rival /ˈraɪvəl/ :
a person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor.

I've decided that I'm only going to use Pokemon that were owned by the rival of the original games, Blue (owned in either R/B/Y or G/S/C).
