END OF DAY 1 UPDATE

Originally posted to a thread I'm not participating in - how did I do that? Original post appears below.

My evening ends. A productive battling day. Hope to finish tomorrow (now today) and relax game-wise, doing just quick things and trades, until the time to try the three breeding challenges later this week.

Salamence evolved and took on Fly, and I retired Fletchinder to the PC with a job well done and deserving of a break. My entire team is now with me as one party. In order to keep the levels the same as I go to the E4, I'm having the lower levels battle now. My highlights of the day:

- I took on (while heavily overleveled with Fletchinder leading) Restaurant Le Yeah and, due to skillful use of Fly by both Fletchinder and Salamance, managed a perfect meal. Protect in the first two battles by my opponents also saved me, particularly where four turns was required.
- Just before 8:30 PM, I found and captured a Shiny Klutz Audino.

My team review:

Spoiler:

#11 - Malamar, Lv. 67
Rivalry- Seviper, Lv. 65
Weather - Azumarill, Lv. 65*
Hoenn- Sceptile, Lv. 67
Unity - Salamence, Lv. 65
Wild Card- Froslass, Lv. 67*

*I may swap Azumarill and Froslass positionally as Froslass can learn Hail. She's really only needed against the Champion, and Azumarill could take on another move strategically as Rain Dance does little more than reduce Fire Attacks and improve accuracy of Thunder to a guarantee (the latter of which is useless to me, and the former only if I somehow send Sceptile out in the Blazing Chamber). I am undecided on whether Hail will be used against the Champion.

Why do Unova Pokemon evolve so late?

Anyhow, I've been giving the babies some exp. from the Wild Audino while searching for an Absol. Results are Starly evolved all the way to Staraptor while the others got some decent leveling. Maybe it's already time for me to take out my old party and go train at the Sports Dome.

The team so far:

Spoiler:

#11 the Staraptor - Lv 34

Viridian the Leafeon - Lv 17

Sunny the Larvesta - Lv 26

Keiran the Rufflet - Lv 34

Serenade the Milotic - Lv 51

Reaper the Absol - Lv 49

I'm trying to take this nice and slow, but I'm sure I'll complete it in time.

 

[Cyclone]

I'm at Lv.70. Flew to the PL and saved on the bench like I usually do when I save anywhere. Quickly checked the E4 and found that the levels do not change. Let's see if I am high enough to sweep them now.

EDIT: The E4 has been defeated. The Blazing Chamber fell first, then the Ironworks Chamber proved difficult and I didn't manage my Pokémon strategy well, but I came back and decimated the remaining two chambers without a knockout, using excellent strategy in the Flood Chamber and four different victorious Pokémon in battle.

I have Diantha to defeat now. Can I do it before I head out for the rest of the day? I'm actually kinda enjoying this.

EDIT: I am victorious! Sceptile, who I couldn't find a spot for in the final battle, had to step in for a OHKOed Seviper and took down Mega Gardevoir with two Leaf Blades.

CHALLENGE COMPLETED

(If I need to show something to prove it, I can provide evidence later. I have to head out for a bit.)

 

[Miau]

Necrum or Jak, I have a silly question. So in post-game X, whenever I want to train some low-leveled Pokemon, I usually give them a Lucky Egg, turn Exp Share on and lead with my lv 80+ Talonflame and grind at the Victory Road. I'm assuming it's not okay to do this for this challenge, right? So you're only allowed to battle using the 6 Pokemon that fit the requirements, right?

Anyway... My team:

#11 - Watchog

[Proteun]

Soooo this will probably be my team:

He Was #011:

Earthburst Junior the Golem
Already caught and evolved it, this one was kind of obvious.

Bitter Rivalry:

Rival the Arcanine
Couldn't think of any better name. Growlithe is easy to get in HeartGold, so this is the first one I thought of. Currently level 14.

Harsh Weather:

Seabubble Junior the Blastoise
Yay, also got a good reason to put in this one again :)
Got it from Professor Oak, and I am training it right now. Currently level 15.

Hoenn Confirmed:

Absol
Well that was stupid. I was going to get Treecko from Steven, but some of my friends were standing behind me and convinced me to take Mudkip while I already have Blastoise... Not quite sure about this one, but it should be nice to have. I'll only be able to obtain it with Hoenn Sound on Wednesday, though.

Unity:
Aghhh. Toxicroak's a real pain in the ass to get in HeartGold and SoulSilver, with Blocks in the Safari Zone and everything which I don't understand anything of. I will try, but is it possible that I get another one?

Wild Card:

(Unnamed for now) the Grumpig
I really didn't know anything, so I asked my girlfriend to say a number between 1 and 492. Came out to be #325 Spoink, so that will be a kind of added challenge I guess. The name is still coming :)

 

[Sheep]

Team members have been caught! I decided to keep my Black 2 post-game file and run through this challenge with that instead of restarting and getting to post-game once again. That'd take too long.

Synthesis, Leaf Tornado, Air Slash, Fly

Pashmina the Patrat ♀ [#11]
Lv. 2 | Sassy | Good perseverance | Keen Eye

Mansyd the Eevee ♂ [Unity]

Next stop... evolving everyone! :D Axew to Haxorus, Patrat to Watchog, Finneon to Lumineon, Vanillish to Vanilluxe, and Eevee to Umbreon.​

 

[J2a1m1i2e]

Yay for first update!
I've only managed to catch my team members so far, I'm hoping to get some grinding in before my precious sleepy times! Absolute was a PAIN to catch, I managed to get Metang and Vulpix really easily, but Petilil and Watchog were kind of hard, heck, I got Misdreavus, who has a lower catch rate, before I got Petilil! Luckily, the atrocity that is the level curve if this game actually came in useful, my mons are pretty high levelled for the most part.

Team:

Spoiler:

TronTron the Naive Metang
(Clear Body) Lv. 65 @Lucky Egg
-Brick Break
-Meteor Mash
-Zen Headbutt
-Hyper Beam

ScoSap the Quiet Absol

The 6 Pokemon need only fight the Elite 4. How you train them is up to you.

No proof is needed, but I do suggest you post details about your final team, levels, moves etc.

 

[jdthebud]

Alright, I have caught/bred all my team members. I picked a save file where I had just defeated Iris for the first time.

Update #1 on Black 2.

• First I went to the Dreamyard and caught Riveon the Latios.
• Then I went to the Abundant Shrine and nabbed a Drought Vulpix named Sol.
• Cyclone the Emolga was grabbed at Dragonspiral Tower, and OneOneFour the Seviper at Village Bridge.
• Got a L55 Poochyena from White, bred it with a Stoutland, and hatched Juichi the Poochyena with Crunch and the elemental Fangs.
• After a few battles against trainers, Juichi evolved into Mightyena!
• Got to the Route 2 Hidden Grotto and caught a Nidoran♂ named Rex. Forgot screenshot, so just took a status screen pic.

Screens:

Riveon the Calm Latios, ♂ - L68 @ Soul Dew

Fair enough. Opening up in Vanillite Town - and noting I made a TM move change or two (don't worry, I left Rain Dance there) in the middle of the challenge (Salamance's Flamethrower became useless at one point, so I swapped in Stone Edge), my final team layout was as follows (spoilered):

Spoiler:

#11
Malamar
Lv. 73
Nature: Bold
Ability: Suction Cups
Moves: Psycho Cut/Superpower/Night Slash/Topsy-Turvy

Rivalry
Seviper
Lv. 71
Nature: Bashful
Ability: Shed Skin
Moves: Glare/Poison Jab/Crunch/Dig

Weather
Azumarill
Lv. 73
Nature: Quiet
Ability: Huge Power
Moves: Play Rough/Rain Dance/Superpower/Surf

Hoenn
Sceptile (the dealer of the final blow)
Lv. 72
Nature: Quirky
Ability: Overgrow
Moves: Leaf Blade/False Swipe/Leaf Storm/Slam
(False Swipe was kept for Safari use and was obviously not for the E4. He didn't need it as he wasn't in the party when the Shiny Audino showed up, and I decided not to replace it for future use beyond the challenge - and yes, I know it's a TM.)

Unity
Salamence (in a Great Ball, the Bagon parent was from a Wonder Trade)
Lv. 72
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Intimidate
Moves: Dragon Claw/Fly/Stone Edge*/Zen Headbutt
(She started the E4 with Flamethrower and Stone Edge was placed before the fourth battle, in the Flood Chamber. It paid immediate dividends.)

Wild Card
Froslass
Lv. 72
Nature: Modest
Ability: Cursed Body
Moves: Ice Shard/Headbutt/Destiny Bond/Ice Fang

I tried to give everyone a chance to fight Diantha. I may have missed one, though my policy did lead to two knockouts on my team. Seviper was the unfortunate one due to being outsped. Froslass was the other, but it was hilarious; I got Tyranitum to half its strength, and then got OHKOed; the recoil knocked it out. Ace!

Sure, I don't know how those things work either. So let's see, a Johto favorite? Take Jumpluff ♥

I'll get this going in a bit ^.^

 

[Candy]

I'm aiming to get Larvesta to evolve right now, and then I'll move on to Rufflet. I don't want to rant on late level evolutions again though.

After going back and forth Giant Chasm for Audino, doing some daily battles and realizing that I haven't activated the Tornadus event yet, Larvesta's only 6 levels away from evolving. I might try adding Tornadus, but that'll be a huge hassle to catch, so I'll just stick with this team.

The team so far:

Spoiler:

#11 the Staraptor - Lv 34

Viridian the Leafeon - Lv 17

Sunny the Larvesta - Lv 53

Keiran the Rufflet - Lv 36

Serenade the Milotic - Lv 54
