3rd Gen R/S/E DuoSpecies Challenge

I'll update the leaderboard. I'm still trying to breed for a Shroomish with good IVs. So far, its not going well. Other than that, I've achieved Master Ranks and gotten paintings in 4 of 5 Contest Types. Since my Pokemon for the challenge have remained unchanged since last time, no Pokemon need to be added.
 
My DS DIED over the weekend and I did't have my charger with me x-x
So not much of an update really...
But current stats:
Name: Meat
Time: 8:54
Team:
Coffin (level 27 shedinja)
Fury Cutter
Spite
Fury Swipes
Leech Life

Bishop (Level 27 Aron)
Take Down
Metal Claw
Mud Slap
Headbutt

HM slave:
Slave (level 9 treeko)
Rock smash
Flash
Strength
Cut

EVENTUALLY beat Rival (She kept using splash when she could've killed my shedinja in one attack with rollout, so fury cutter was strong enough to OHKO her other two pokemon)
Beat wattson on first try :p
Am now on route 113.


Anyone know where I can get the attract TM? Serebii is lying to me, saying it's in vendanturf, when it isn't :/
Is it? o.O
 
Update...Pretty big update :]

Name: Psych
Playtime: 26:02 :\
Badges: 8 ^.^

Pokemon
Alakazam - lvl55
Gardevoir - Lvl55

I am fixing to take on the elite four :d
 
okay same team as before. again utterly phailed at the battle tower at an 18 streak. i finally beat the kingdra and on the 18th fight i was down to my swampert and he had a golem.muddy water missed then he used explosion and killed both of us.
 
Well, not much of an update here. I altered Breloom's moveset a bit (it gained a level while breeding in the Day Care), and decided to throw in a filler Pokemon instead of attempting to breed a good Shroomish. I got to the second fight before a bad call on my part in the third battle: I had Breloom Double Team, and Mightyena was able to hit with Iron Tail. Since Breloom was at low health, it died. Blaziken took care of Mightyena, but a Crawdaunt came in and ran through Blaziken with Crabhammer. My filler Pokemon (Dusclops) also fell pretty easily.

Here's the Battle Tower Squadron I'm working with (forced to the level 100 bracket, guess I need to level more).

Blaziken- level 67
Magnet
Flamethrower
Hidden Power Electric
Sky Uppercut
Earthquake

Breloom- lvl 66
Lax Incense
Double Team
Mach Punch
Focus Punch/Solarbeam(gonna replace)
Toxic

Dusclops @ Quick Claw
lvl 50

Ice Beam
Will-O-Wisp
Shadow Punch
Sunny Day

Oh, Kain, one of the boys in the Verdanturf Contest Hall should give you Attract.

Update:
Alakazam now level 61, same moveset
Gardevoir now level 61, same moveset

Attempted elite four several times and I kept losing because psychic moves do not affect the first trainer's pokemon, and the second trainer has moves that are super effective to my pokemon... so I decided it was time to take a break
and try to make some money so I could buy items...
Currently I have made $60000 with my "Bag Of Money" Technique :]
Will be updating soon. :]

Edit:
Now at $80000 with my "Bag of Money" technique [Not a glitch or hack, just ask, I will tell you how to do it ;]]
Gardevoir's and Alakazam's Psychic's both have 16/16 PP, that's 6 more than the original 10/10 PP.

Edit2:
Now at $100000 with my "Bag of Money" Technique.
Screenshots coming soon :P

What me and Potato have been doing is throwing in a random filler Pokemon that is untrained to use in battle. I added TMs to my filler Dusclops, I'm not sure what Potato did. However...

Posted by the rules
When you get to the Battle Tower/Frontier, there are challenges that may require you to have three Pokemon. If that is the case, you may use a third Pokemon, but only if it abides by all of the above rules.
The above rules are: no egg moves, no trading from another game unless it is for evolving, and it wasn't hacked. Leveling up is not encouraged, but is ok in this circumstance.

As for my update:

There's no way I can win 35 in a row with two lvl 66s and a lvl 50 Pokemon in the lvl 100 bracket. Therefore, Blaziken and Breloom have been getting up to 100 with some training at the E4 (I've beaten them about 10 times now lol).

I've also won all 5 types of Contests in the Master Rank. As a tribute, I'm not only going to post my Pokemon for the Battle Tower, but I will post all five winning Contest Pokemon that I used.

Pokemon:

Blaziken- lvl 71
Magnet
Flamethrower
Sky Uppercut
Hidden Power Electric (49)
Earthquake

Breloom- lvl 70
Lax Incense
Bulk Up
Facade
Iron Tail
Mach Punch

Dusclops- lvl 50
Quick Claw
Will-O-Wisp

like you were going to do with Shroomish I believe, Skip Shot,

Yeah, but breeding for a good Shroomish is proving to be hard. I attempted to complete it at first with a filler Dusclops, but it proved to do nothing. Once I get a good Shroomish egg, I'll be training it as well.

My training is going okay. I hope to have Breloom and Blaziken up to 100 by tomorrow. I have a few Shroomishes that I can use for breeding a good Shroomish as well.
 
After some quick Elite four grinding.
Alakazam is now level 97 :]
He will be level 100 soon.

Gardevoir is level 82 still, but I am going to train him to 100 after Alakazam is level 100 :]

Update:
Alakazam is now level 100 - Looking for a twisted spoon.
Gardevoir is level 91 - Training to level 100, going to give him leftovers

EdIt!
UPDATE:
Look at the screenshots I took :]

Another Edit:
._. I one shot KO'd everyone in the Battle Tower
But a trainer sent out shedinja and I had no moves that affected it.
So I am taking my latios with me and teaching it fly. :\
