Ideal End-of-Game Team

 

[PlatniumPiano]

Hmm interesting? Decided not to do fighting? Lol I'll add you to the OP. Thanks for bumping the thread you two :D

 

[myrrhman]

I think I'll do all the types for this. Pokemon Blue Version was my favorite thing to do when I was little, and I want to play it more. But, I'm doing a couple of Challenges in both Pearl and Platinum currently. As soon as I'm done with that though, I'll be back. So if you want to sign me up for everything but water, which I already beat here, I'll be on it probably next week or sooner.

 

[Roaring Moon]

I'll do Flying-type in Red.

 

[jujuju]

I'll do ground type in red as it seems that nobody has done that yet.

EDIT: I decided to now do blue as I thought that Sandshrew was a Red-only pokemon, not a Blue-only pokemon

 

[GoldenPokeBall]

Ah! Now I feel like I'm copying Myrrhman. :(

Sign me up for everything too. :D Looks like I'm racing the water champion.

I already started the Fire challenge. So here is my progress thus far:

2 Badges, Aboard S.S. Anne.

Current Party:

1st Update

Spoiler:

Player Name: Jack
Rival Name: Gary

Jack woke up this morning feeling excited about the new adventure that he was about to begin. Jack had always had a thing for Ground type Pokemon and his dream was to build a team with only Ground type Pokemon. He had been planning it for months; the gyms, the many Pokemon trainers he would meet on the way and eventually getting to the elite 4 and becoming the best Pokemon trainer in the world. Jack began his journey by making a visit to Professor Oak and picked a Bulbasaur. Although it was not a ground type, Jack knew that his rival, Gary, would pick a Charmander as it had the type advantage. Little did he know that, that type advantage would soon disappear. After completing a few tasks for the Prof., Jack was on his way. He began by catching a Level 2 Nidoran, which he knew would eventually evolve into the strong Poison/Ground type Pokemon, Nidoking. He raised the Nidoran until it was at Level 12 when Gary decided to challenge him again. Since the first time they met, Gary had added a Pidgey to his team and had become stronger. Nidoran was still able to defeat both Pokemon using only Horn Attack. Jack continued on his journey by heading towards Viridian Forest, which he knew would bring him to Pewter City, the site of the first gym. After battling his way through the Forest, Jack emerged with a Level 15 Nidoran and a lot of confidence. He quickly challenged Brock for the first badge, but Brock's Pokemon were tough and did not go down easily. Fortunately, Nidoran was tougher and 25 Horn Attacks, 8 Tackles, 1 Poison Sting and 4 Potions later, Brock was defeated and Nidoran evolved into Nidorino. Jack continued his adventure by attempting to get through Mt. Moon. Along the way, he found the TM Water Gun, which he proceeded to teach to Nidorino and used it to catch a Level 8 Geodude.

Current Team
Nidorino Level 22

• Water Gun
• Tackle
• Horn Attack
• Poison Sting

Geodude Level 8

• Tackle

Bulbasaur Level 7 (Just there because I am too lazy to go to my PC)

• Tackle
• Growl
• Leech Seed

 

[myrrhman]

Well, big update, i guess. I beat the elite four/champion.

Just posting elite four battles, because they're the only ones i remembered, and the rival battle was rediculous. Thank god I had so many revives

Entered the elite four with all my pokemon at around level 50, Parasect, as my MVP, was at 60.

Round 1: Vs. Loreli!

Spoiler:

She led Dewgong, I led Venusaur. Tried to OHKO with Razor leaf, but Dewgong just had a sliver left and hit me with an Aurora Beam for a little damage. I did OHKO Cloyster and Slowbro with Razor Leaf. I switched to Parasect for her Jynx, and Leech Life 2HKO (I took an Ice Punch so I had like 3/4 health after the second heal). Switched back to Venusaur for Lapras. Used Razor leaf to bring it to like 1/4, it hit me with Blizzard, and I fainted. Damnit. I switched to Vileplume and Pedal Dance'd it to move on.

Round 2: Vs. Bruno!

Spoiler:

This battle was better. Exeggutor one hit every Pokemon with a Super Effective, STAB'd Mega Drain or Psychic. I think Hitmonlee was faster than me, but it did some attack that wasn't damage, I think it was either Focus Energy or Meditate. Nevertheless, I took no damage and advanced.

Round 3: Vs. Agatha!

Spoiler:

I kept Exeggutor out and tried to sweep with Psychic. Unfortunately, I wasn't strong enough to OHKO Agatha's Pokemon. Exeggutor fainted on the last Gengar (I think) and was out of Psychics. So, I sent Parasect out and fully healed with Leech Life. Done.

Round 4: Vs. Lance!

Spoiler:

This is where it began to get rediculous. Now I had over 100,000 Pokedollars, and I spent every last one of them on Revives. So I had a bunch of Revives. I needed them. I led Vileplume on Lance, which got OHKO'd by Gyarados's Hyper Beam. Sent Parasect out, my last battleable Pokemon. Spore went first, and I revived my entire team. Don't ask me why I didn't revive them before the battle. I got a couple of slashes in before he woke up, and when I moved again, Slash Crit'd and killed him. I switched to Venusaur for his Dragonairs. They never attacked me, they used agility 3 times each, and I used 3 Body Slams to kill them both. Aerodactyl went down with 2 Razor Leafs, but it hit me with Hyper Beam. Dragonite came and hyper beamed everyone but Vileplume. Magically, he missed on Vileplume, and Vileplume put him to sleep. I healed one Pokemon before he woke up. He used Agility (WTF?) and I missed with Sleep Powder. Then he used Barrier (again, WTF why didn't he kill me with hyper beam?) and I hit with Sleep Powder. I was then able to revive the rest of my team and use an Ether on Exeggutor's Psychic. When he woke up, he killed me with Hyper Beam finally, and I sent out Exeggutor. After using Agility again, he took another nap from Hypnosis, and didn't wake up (2 Psychics).

Round 5: Vs Rival!

Spoiler:

So, I went ahead and revived everyone. First Pokemon was Pidgeot, who went to sleep with Spore and down with a couple of Slashes. Next, Alakazam went down Spore-Leech Life 2 hits. I switched to Venusaur for Rhydon, who died in one Razor Leaf. Exeggutor just got straight up Leech Lifed and 2 hit (I really thought I could one hit it, because it was quad weak to Bug moves, and I was STABing it. Gyarados was a pain in the ***, but Hyper Beam didn't kill my Venusaur, and Body Slam Paralyzed him. Then I beat him with Parahax. This was the first time I had ever gotten Parahax to my advantage. Fun.

Then was Charizard. What. The. ****. There was nothing I could do. He was faster than all my Pokemon, and could either one or two hit them with Fire Blast (which hit like 95% of the time) or trap them with Fire Spin and just repeatedly use that. I don't know how many Revives I had to use, but I only have like 3 left, and I spent 100,000 on them. Finally I put him to sleep with one of my Pokemon (if you haven't figured it out by now, all 4 of my Pokemon know sleep moves) and Parasect 4 hit him with Slash. Definitely the most frustrating single Pokemon I have ever fought in my Pokemon career. I am so grateful that battle is over.

And that's a rap. I'm done with Water and Grass now. 2/15.

Team:
*image removed*
Venusaur at level 58

Razor Leaf, Body Slam, Sleep Powder, Cut
*image removed*
Parasect at level 61

Leech Life, Spore, Dig, Slash
-definitely my MVP. Saved me against Sabrina, Koga, Blaine, and like half of the Elite Four. He's not the highest leveled Pokemon I have for nothing.
*image removed*
Vileplume at level 51

Acid, Pedal Dance, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore
-definitely my LVP. He just wasn't worth training. Venusaur had Razor Leaf, and I really didn't need any more grass moves. I sorta just had him so I could have a full team of Grass. Oh well, he did save me against Lance, so I respect him in that regard.
*image removed*
Exeggutor at level 53

Psychic, Hypnosis, Stomp, Mega Drain

 

[PlatniumPiano]

@myrrhman: You have got to be one of the most dedicated 1st gen fans out there haha. Grass is my favorite type, I had no idea it'd be so hard though! Which challenge will you do next?

 

[myrrhman]

Oh yeah, I'm a huge Pokefan. The main problem with grass type was the lack of attack types. And dual type pokemon for that matter. Not counting Normal, I only had 5 different type attacks. And since none of them were super effective against dragons or Charizard, that gave me a really big problem.

Anyways, after that ridiculous challenge, I want to one that's a wee bit easier. We'll go with flying. That should be much better.

Proposed end of game team:

Gyarados: Surf, Earthquake, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt
Charizard: Flamethrower, Slash, Rock Slide, Cut
Butterfree: Sleep Powder, Psychic, Strength, Supersonic?
Fearow: Drill Peck, Fly, don't care, doesn't matter
