Let's storm Rocket Hideout, they can't stop all of us! [Get-Together Challenge 2019]

[WizardOfOdd]

So Valerie is down, and we now had to fight at the pokeball factory. No big deal, IF MY ENTIRE TEAM WASN'T ALL REPLACED THERE. Ah well we should pig out at those two lumiose restaurant with pokemons i've prepared for this kind of case. My new clause also says that i need to have Ghost or Fighting pokemon until the end so i'm picking Duskull (AND SURPRISE I FORGOT THE REAPER CLOTH IS NEAR ENDGAME :)) ). And so our new aces especially Manfred, Nightmare, and Mindy easily clean up the grunts and Mindy actually wiped out Flare scientist at double battle (Kill one trainer first, divided attention would be disastrous) although she's almost dead, thankfully not.

And then we go to Frost Cavern. In here we faced anoher Scientist, using Dusclops eviolite stall and Power up Punch we beat her also. Now on to Olympia. All of her team is wiped out by Nightmare the end. Really that's the end. Now onto Lysandre.


Current Team In No Particular Order:
Nightmare, Lvl.76 (M)

Trick Room/Ice Punch/Power-Up Punch/Shadow Punch

Mindy, Lvl.68 (F)

Solar Beam/Moonblast/Fire Blast/Flamethrower

Manfred, Lvl.63 (M)

Bug Buzz/Dragon Pulse/Fire Blast/Earth Power

Now, with remaining elegance (If i have any to begin with). Onward to Room #3

The longest training session yet. Not only did I explore all waters possible with six badges to battle trainers (could only use Swalot since my other party members were weak), but I also backtracked to the Trick Master's house for a little additional exp....only to see that the only room he had ready was the Mechadoll quiz one, aka no battles. lol. Withdrew Combusken and caught Trapinch to fill the slot of my ground type for the new rule. In the end, after hours of grinding in the sea (7.8/10 too much water), we beat Tate & Liza!!

Used Swalot's Toxic to whittle their HP down + taught it Shadow Ball for this purpose, and hoped for the best. Vibrava used Dragonbreath in the turn or two it survived for in hopes of paralysis, but nope. Blaziken was mostly just double battle fodder, though Blaze Kick did do a bit more damage than I thought, which helped out.

Wallace will be dealing with the same Toxic trick, and I'm hopeful to have Vibrava evolve into Flygon by then so it could better hold its own and help. Blaziken will be sitting the match out.

Wailmer was fished out for water HM fodder.

[h1][/h1]• Hamlet, Revenge! - You can no longer use Poison-type Pokémon or moves. [REVERSED]
• LOCK DOWN: Ground Barrier (GLOBAL RULE) - You can no longer use Ground-type Pokémon or moves for the rest of the game. [REVERSED]
• Gardener is the killer - Put a Grass/Poison-type or carnivorous-like Grass-type Pokémon on your team. It must stay there this whole segment and must take part in the battle with Gym Leader/Trial.
• The killing weapon - You can only use Physical attacking moves for this segment. (No Status or Special moves)
• The Hound of the Baskervilles - Put canine Pokémon on your team. It must stay here this whole segment and must take part in the battle with Gym Leader/Trial.
• LOCK DOWN - Switcheroo (GLOBAL RULE) - You can now only use banned types and no other (dual types are the only exception). If no type is currently banned for you, you can only use Dark and Poison-types from now.
• Captured! - You have to box your whole team for this segment and can only use Pokémon caught after this rule was applied.

New rule says I have to get rid of half my items and 80% of my money. That's okay! I wish I had bought more cheap stuff like Poké Balls to discard though. Because I don't want give up on my precious TMs or rare items, I had to trash some more expensive items such as Super Repels as well. Ah well.

This segment is the shortest one by far: one battle only. For some reason the trainers in the Olivine Gym think Xander is way too cool to be battled, so that just leaves Leader Jasmine.

Her first Pokémon, Magnemite, is 5 levels higher than my strongest Pokémon. Fleur resists its attacks,but cannot dish out much damage to a Steel type. Sleep Powder works perfectly however and gives Jelly the perfect opportunity for a 2HKO. Repeat for Magnemite #2.
Then comes Steelix, level 35: 10 levels on my highest. What would one do in such case? Exactly, Curse. And Sleep Powder as a bonus to prevent it from being usedul while its health slowly withers away.

Now, onward to room 18!

The team 2.0

Yes, except for that one level Fleur gained from Steelix, my team is exactly the same as last post, but I'm going to post it again anyway. ​

PART 7

For this segment I had to use only Normal Type Pokemon. Good, because in no way I was gona go through a water type gym with only Fire and Ground. I started with boxing all of my team again except for Sandslash. What's best of all Hellion made an epic comeback.
I returned to Celanto, the first town and caught a Zigzagoon and a Bidoof.
After spending hours in grinding I went back to Precimos Island. Precimos hotel was invaded by some burglars and I had to take them down. Then again, the new elders were related.
After beating the rivals I had another battle with my rival and after another victory I took the diving tours I needed to head to Edashore Town a town known for the Clefairy Festival and for selling Pokemon eggs, however another earthquake scared the Clefairy that featured the Festival and it fled, so I had to look for it in Cosmic Caverns. I was gifted with a Masterball for returning it to Edashore Town and then I walked to Atsail City were the seventh gym is located.
The gym battle was hard, almost all of the team fainted except for Hellion who took down Marina's M-Gyarados with one blow.

Team

Diboof/Bibarel [Female] lvl 44
Moves: Dive, Take Down, Surf, Rollout

GLOBAL RULE: Any banned types can be used, if no types are banned, only Dark and Poison types may be used.
RULE: I can only use Pokemon that are used by Team Rocket Admins/Grunts for the next gym battle.

With these rules I had to completely remake my team. Had to back track quite a bit to grab the Pokemon that I can use.

• Worked my way down the Cycling Road. From this point on I could only use Houndoom and Murkrow I had to back track for.
• Did the event with Mira who happend to drop her item in Wayward Cave. Finally found that thing and we dipped out of there.
• Continued on the path toward Hearthome City where I ran into Elite Four Aaron who wanted to battle.
• Went to go find Fantina in the Contest Hall. I also ran into my mom who was visiting.
• Took on Fantina's gym, and let's say Murkrow was the real MVP of that gym.
• Team Galatic also decided to take control of the Pokemon Mansion.

• Professional Medium - You can only use Psychic-types and no other type (except for dual types) for this segment. This rule overwrites any type ban.

New team! Again! This segment only, I can use only Psychic types. I didn't want to raise a full party of six again, so I just captured Palindrome the Girafarig in a Fast Ball as I forgot to buy new Poké Balls after using all of them to bribe the police. She was only level 15, so there went my levels again. Girafarig however are actually decent Pokémon and a lot easier to train than Zubat.

The Red Gyarados was a scary monster. I dared facing it with Palindrome at level 25, not realizing that thing can Dragon Rage my poor giraffe to crisp with two shots. One Psybeam from Palindrome only chipped away 10% of the monster's health, which didn't help much either. With his fingers crossed, Xander tried the only thing he could to get out here safely: hurl a Poké Ball (I bought some new ones!). Somehow that worked on the first try. Yay!

Team Rocket was no match and Pryce didn't prove to be much trouble either. Palindrome missed a hit on Piloswine thanks to his Snow Cloak, which cost me one Hyper Potion, the fight provided no trouble otherwise.

Now, onward to room 19!

The team 3.0

CHR DRACO IS CAUGHT!
Draco is found by a police. Thinking he's one of the Team Rocket Grunts, they want him to pay them to let him go. New rule has been added, check your character on the map.

CUBISM IS CHANGING SIDES
Cubism stops and reads about Team Rocket's leader - Giovanni. He seems like a cool guy. New rule has been added, check your character on the map.

TOKYODRIFT FOUNDS THE MOTIVE
I'm slowly running out of ideas to write something about this rule. Renegade Platinum has really good variety of Pokémon to catch for this rule. New rule has been added, check your character on the map.

LYCANTROPHY IS FAKING EVIDENCE
Lycan is caught my the best attorney in the world. Let's see how he gets out of this. New rule has been added, check your character on the map.

 

[bobandbill]

Bad rule, frankly, for me. No healing is going to make Clair and the E4 a right pain in the butt. TMs also makes Steelix suck because its levelup movepool is poor (but I am awaiting clarification on HMs...)

So I stuck to the same three as before. Not much to report - they were overlevelled so had little trouble. Main issue was a rare Poison status effect from all the Tentacool/Tentacruel while surfing to Cianwood. Quagsire took out Primeape easily enough with its previously taught Dig, while Magmar tanked a Surf and 2HKO'd Poliwrath.

Not including boxed mons:

Ground Monotype Wedlocke Challenge - Pokémon White

Male Excadrill (Watson) | Quirky nature | Sand Force Lv. 37 @ Soft Sand -Earthquake -Metal Claw -Hone Claws -Rock Slide *Paired with Randy

Male Krokorok (Randy) | Serious nature | Moxie Lv. 32 @ Eviolite -Crunch -Dig -Mud-Slap -Embargo *Paired with Watson

Badges: 5/8​

Part 5

We're back to pairs!

I had caught a Tympole beforehand, named Rebecca, so I could train it after the Elesa segment was done. So I equipped the Exp. Share on her, and made my way to the Desert Resort, which I hadn't explored yet.

In there I caught another team member: a Sandile named Randy; and after some battles, Tympole evolved, and Drilbur learned Earthquake! Now we're good to go.

Cheren's battle was easy as pie. Since Drilbur evolved to a powerful Excadrill, there's barely anything scary in his team: Watson easily outspeeds Pignite and OHKO's him, and the Steel-type made Pansage's typing deal neutral damage to him.

Decided to put Palpitoad on the lead to earn some more experience, and gave the Exp. Share to Sandile. However, when it was time to face the Plasma grunts in cold storage, a mild Scraggy somehow KO'ed it with a critical-hit Payback. The Eviolite didn't help much afterall. ;-;

So I had just Excadrill and Krokorok for Clay. I was scared his Excadrill would outspeed mine and kill it with Bulldoze, so I went training in Route 6. Also trained Krokorok so it would learn Dig, just so the worst case scenario happened and Excadrill would die. Thankfully none of this happened, as it turned out I had Watson a little bit overlevelled. Three Earthquakes for three Pokémon, easy badge.

I'm gonna pay the_fast_reader a visit in Room #23!

 

[saniachan]

Restarting my FireRed, I played as a boy this time. His name is Kou and his rival is Regulus. Kou started with Malva the female Charmander (what luck, given Mallow in Luna's run and Malva here). She immediately got some companions: Bea the female Mankey and Clemont the male Pikachu (very fitting for a Team Pikachu member like me). Just like Mallow in Luna's run, Bea soloed Brock big time here. Here's my team as of Brock:

Spoiler:

Malva

Spoiler:

Bea

Spoiler:

Clemont

Spoiler:

Thanks to the reverse-ban (ground-type was previously banned), I had to reshuffle the team. Not without fighting trainers before the first patch of grass in Route 3 though. That, and I actually love all the crits from my team at this point. 😭

Anyway, before entering Mt. Moon, Kou managed to grab the Nidoran duo. His name is Clay (eventually will become a Nidoking) and her name is Plumeria (eventually will become a Nidoqueen). In return, he had to box Malva and Bea for this part. And now that Kou's in the cave, he also got Hapu the female Geodude. He might as well do some Onix hunting there~

PS: Before I forget, here's my proof of defeating Brock (I snapped this sometime after getting Hapu, though) :

Spoiler:

I'll move after defeating Misty, so I'm staying at room 7 at this point. Also, did I forget to say that I'm with Team Pikachu? If so, sorry. 😔

 

[WizardOfOdd]

Basically, i've beaten Team Flare. They're no match for Mindy, Nightmare, and Manfred. And so does Wulfric that got defeated pretty Badly by Suzuki and Mindy duet. (It's short i know, i'm kind of lazy currently but i'll update it later LoL)

On to room #3 (GORDON RAMSAY I'M COMIN FOR YOU)

 

[budube]

PART 8

After beating Marina at her gym I was told to meet her at her lab where she explained me about the Tablet Idol the Precimos Hotel burglars tried to steal. I exited the lab and saw my rival fighting a new elder grunt and told me that they may have their hideout somewhere in Atsail. First of all I grinded my new team, bought a Houndour egg in Edashore egg shop and caught some pokemon more, after a long grinding sesion I flew back to Atsail and went to the cold storage and their workers were acting kinda... odd.
The basement of the cold storage was indeed the base, and for what me and my rival listened they were headed to Apex Temple, but everything was a set up, they stole the tablet idol, and we were engaged by their leader, Morgana. After a rather easy battle we were trapped in the temple and had to find a secret exit. Using Marina's Gyarados's Strenght we found a path through Ignis Catacombs and after finally finding our way out we returned to Atsail City.
I later went to Loamas Town, going through Loamas Fields, were the eight and final gym was located.
The gym was easy, Moonstone shined by taking down 4/5 of the leader's gym and finally going down because of Hippowdown's Toxic poison, leaving a proof of her real power on her final battle. The final pokemon was taken down by Venus the Vileplume.

Farewell, Moonstone my gal

Team
As a new Team Rocket fanboy I had to use only pokemon used by either Grunts, Admins or Giovanni himself ignoring all type bans. The pokemon I chose were as follows:

Moonstone/Sandslash [Female] lvl 54
Moves: Earthquake, Swords Dance, X-Scissor, Rock Tomb.
Used by some Rocket Grunt, but would've stayed otherwise because of the Moonstone rule.

Anubis/Houndoom [Male] lvl 52
Moves: Thunderfang, Flamethrower, Nasty Plot, Feint Attack
Used by Archer

Venus/Vileplume [Female] lvl 54
Moves: Sleep Powder, Petal Dance, Sludge Bomb, Giga Drain
Used by Ariana

Zeedo/Hypno [Male] lvl 51
Moves: Hypnosis, Nasty Plot, Psychic, Shadow Ball
Used by some Rocket Grunt

Al Capone/Honchkrow [Male] lvl 50
Moves: Roost, Fly, Night Shade, Night Slash
Used by Giovanni

Momzilla/Kangaskhan [Female] lvl 50
Moves: Fake Out, Dizzy Punch, Power Up Punch, Crunch
Used by Giovanni

Gym Badge Count: 8

I can only go back to Room #34 I think

 

[tokyodrift]

GLOBAL RULE: Any banned types can be used, if no types are banned, only Dark and Poison types may be used.
RULE: I must use a Pokemon that has a 5% encounter rate on my team for the rest of the game.

This rule wasn't that hard to be honest. I was headed toward Solaceon Town and remembered that Lost Tower was on Route 209. Lost Tower is home to Dusclops who indeed has a 5% encounter rate. It took a while, but I eventually ran into one.

• Battled the trainers on Route 209.
• Headed up the Lost Tower to get my encounter to fulfil the rule that is in place. I reach the top and the nice lady gives me a Reaper Cloth to evolve my Dusclops.
• Headed toward the ruins and Lucian of the Elite Four walks out and gifts me TM29 which contains Psychic.
• Arrived in Solaceon Town. Headed to the Ruins to pick up one of each elemental stones as well as the HM05 which contains Defog (which is not needed btw) as well as the TM04 which contained Calm Mind.
• I realized I needed more healing than the Super Potions could give me. I stopped by the cafe at the start of Route 210 and picked up a bunch of MooMoo Milks.
• Next comes Route 215. This was great training for the Dusclops I caught. The last double battle kind of destroyed my team, I did beat them though.
• Made it to Veilstone City where I immediately headed to the Department Store. Here I picked up 20 Lava Cookies. I also went to the top floor and met Bertha of the Elite Four who gifted me TM26 which contained Earthquake.
• Headed to the Gym and was ready to take on Maylene. The newly evolved Dusknoir made this battle a bit easier. She was tough but eventually went down.

Emerald Run Part 3

So I had to box everyone (kept Ziggy the Zigzagoon for HMs though), and caught me some Dark and Poison types! My other new rule also required a blue colored Pokémon that could learn Disable or Foresight, unfortunately there aren't any available that can learn those moves... I did catch a blue colored Pokémon though (Zubat), I hope it's alright that I don't have anything that could learn those moves, I tried searching on Bulbapedia for something but nothing fitting the full requirement seemed to be available until later in the game so...

Oh did I also mention I'm playing in Set mode? Well I am!

First I went back to Route 116 to catch Poachy the Poochyena! Then I went to Granite Cave to find a Zubat, and now Zoo the Zubat is on my team as well! It was painfully slow leveling them up (especially Zubat, yeah Leech Life just doesn't do enough damage... it doesn't even learn Bite until level 16!) And while I was there, I figured why not catch a Sableye as well? It took a while to find one, but finally I found one and got it down to low health and... WHAT IT BROKE OUT OF EVERY SINGLE POKÉBALL I HAD WTF THEN I RAN OUT AHHHHGJKGHKHJJKGL! So after going back to Rustboro and buying more I decided to try again, and now Jem the Sableye is on my team!

Made it to Slateport, beat Team Aqua at the museum. Battled trainers on Route 110 and 103, and caught Gabby the Gulpin! Poachy also evolved into Mightyena! Battled May, expected her to be a little tougher because my team was only around level 18-19 but after Poachy destroyed her Marshtomp's accuracy with Sand Attack, Jem was able to finish the job.

After leveling up Gabby on Route 117, I went back to fight Wattson and boy was he annoying... took more than a few tries to beat him. Stupid Shock Wave and its perfect accuracy and his Pokémon getting critical hits ahhhh! After Gabby put his Magneton to sleep with Yawn, Jem came in to finish it with Night Shade, but then his Manectric was annoying with it also having a SITRUS BERRY ARGHH but finally Poachy beat it after much stalling with Super Potions!

My Team:

Poachy ♂ Lv. 23
- Tackle
- Bite
- Sand Attack
- Howl

Zoo ♂ Lv. 21
- Leech Life
- Supersonic
- Wing Attack
- Bite

Jem ♂ Lv. 22
- Scratch

- Fury Swipes
- Fake Out

Gabby ♀ Lv. 21

- Amnesia
- Yawn


And now I continue my quest to find the Rocket Grunt who stole my inner tube... hey I need that for the beach you jerk! To room #3 we go!

 

[saniachan]

During Kou's trek through Mt. Moon, he couldn't find Onix anywhere. Instead, all he got were Plumeria's and Clay's evolutions into Nidorina and Nidorino respectively. He eventually reached Cerulean City where Luna got stuck.
Unlike Luna though, Kou got to fight his rival (Regulus) and Misty there. During his fight against Regulus:

• Hapu took his Pidgeotto out
• Clay handled his Squirtle somehow
• Plumeria took care of both his Abra and Rattata (could've let Clemont to deal with Abra, but idk if he can even battle under the reverse-ban rule)

As for Misty, Clay and Plumeria took care of both her Staryu and Starmie, well, Wedlocke-style. There may not be any rules about this Wedlocke-style battling in my part as of now, yet they did it anyway because:

• Misty's type specialty was way too dangerous for Hapu
• Clemont's best move was a special attack at this point and the rule specifically states "physical attacks only at this segment"

Even though Misty's Starmie was quite a hassle, Kou still managed to get his second badge:

Spoiler:

And here's his team as of now:

Spoiler:

Clay

Spoiler:

Plumeria

Spoiler:

Hapu

Spoiler:

Clemont

Spoiler:

Btw, can I go to room 18 next?
