3rd Gen Lakitu's Monstrous Dark Challenge

[Ninja Caterpie]

Yeah, this will be hard, won't it? xD
You don't have that big of a choice so...yeah...
This is for FR/G RSE.

List of the Dark Types you can use:

Spoiler:

Poochyena
Mightyena
Seedot
Nuzleaf
Shiftry
Sableye
Carvanha
Sharpedo
Cacnea
Cacturne
Corphish
Crawdaunt
Absol

The ones in italics are because they aren't Dark Type but you need them to get some of them...so yeah. Also, I haven't included the ones you can't catch without another game/beating the game so as not to disadvantage the ROM players and people without other games.

Anyway, just play through the game using only 3 of those, plus any HM slaves.
Remember, HM Slaves are just for battling.
You can, however, use them to use items if your main team dies.

Sign up using this format:
Username:
Pokemon:
HM Slaves:

So, yeah!
Have fun, y'all!

Challenger 1:
Username: Kevmysta
Pokemon: Mightyena, Cacturne, Crawdaunt. Then can I swap Mightyena for Absol?
HM Slaves: Tropius, Wailord and someone else, maybe.

Challenger 2:
Username: Bolmy
Pokemon: Mightyena, Sableye, Absol (even in order I should obtain them, how nice of me)
HM Slaves: Still thinking.

I'm somewhat tempted to do this...hmm. I dunno though.

Need to have a think.

 

[Swift!]

I'm going to give this a shot.

Username: Kevmysta
Pokemon: Mightyena, Cacturne, Crawdaunt. Then can I swap Mightyena for Absol?
HM Slaves: Tropius, Wailord and someone else, maybe.

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Well...yeah. But only if you lock Mightyena to the depths of the PC and never let him see daylight again. Or you can have him as a HM Slave. Same thing.

 

[Swift!]

That's what I intended to do. =D

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

You know, I don't think this will be too hard. The only strong trainer with a Pokemon with an advantage to yours is Brawly, who you can skip until the Pokemon League. :D
Anyway, any more takers?

 

[Swift!]

Ok, I'm going to start now.
I'll post updates of how I'm doing. =D

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Good on ya.
I can't be stuffed doing this because I'm already doing the grass one. xDDD

 

[Swift!]

On R/S/E? How far are you?

I got Torchic from Prof. Birch
Caught a level 4 Poochyena
Deposited Torchic
Trained Poochyena on the trainers between Petalburg and Oldale
Reached Petalburg with Poochyena on level 10

 

[bolmy]

Screw it, I'll give this a go. Probably with a thoroughly rubbish team because I picked Pokemon based on those I like *shrug*

Username: Bolmy
Pokemon: Mightyena, Sableye, Absol (even in order I should obtain them, how nice of me)
HM Slaves: Not sure yet, can I let you know when I've got them? I know one will be Zigzagoon.

Edit - Now I'm just past petalburg, training up my level 11 Poochyena. Methinks I'm gonna have a problem with Roxanne, but hey.

Oh yeah, and I picked Treecko as my starter. Retarded or what? But I'm determined to live with my mistake. Wish me luck.

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Okies!
xD Treecko is the worst starter you can possibly pick...xDDD
So what, I USED Treecko in my Grass Challenge. -gulp-

Anyway, how do you think you guys are going to go against Roxanne?

Oh yes. Having to deal with a fighting type that much will be umm, interesting. Glad I chose Sableye though, that'll probably provide adequate cover.

Personally, I reckon I'm gonna get my butt kicked into sometime next month, but we'll see. Physical attacks aren't gonna go down well with Roxanne :(

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Bite's your best buddy there. It's Special. :D

 

[bolmy]

I remembered this when I started playing again. Anyway, Roxanne was incredibly easy for my level 18 Mightyena with bite, so I'm off to Dewford now to try and catch a Mawile and train it for Brawly.

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Mawille? Don'tcha mean Sableye?
Brawly has no moves that can hurt Sableye so just go in with the level 10 or so Sableye. :D

 

[Harry Blue5]

Username: Harry Blue5
Pokemon: Mightyena, Shiftry, and Absol
HM Slaves: <UNDECIDED>

 

[bolmy]

I did :P

And Brawly got raped hard by Sableye :P

Absolutely owned May too with Mightyena and Sableye, which was quite cool.

Mightyena is called Lucien, and Sableye is Azrael, so I shall refer to them as that from now on XD
