This group should work, lot's of power in it.

While I'm here I'll also do my next update post:

Platinum Update #2

Spoiler:

This is already giving me Crystal ptsd flashbacks. After playing through the game, I eventually hit Byron, having to grind all my pokemon, now at 5, up to a certain level to not be obliterate, especially my Octillery (Never knew this, but Octillery is actually super broken. Surf on him makes him super powerful, especially since he learns Psychic, Ice Beam, Signal Beam, etc.) I played through pretty easily after until I made it to the Distortion World. I got my final member on Mt. Coronet...but jeez Cyrus' final fight was brutal. I had to grind my entire team to a higher level and grind my Gible to evolve to even stand a chance. This means I'm severely underleveled for the Elite 4 and..*shudders* Cynthia. I breezed through Volkner and went through Victory Road to the League. I'm gonna do a lot of grinding for my team...at least level 55 minimum. It's gonna be rough, but I didn't expect this game to be easy.

Finished my Platinum playthrough:

Platinum Update #3

Spoiler:

So after grinding my team up to 55 (save for GOD, who I didnt really use in the league), I took on the league with a very very scared state of mind. This will be the first time I've ever beaten Platinum. So I have literally no idea what's in store other than Cynthia being unbelievably scary. Aaron's Yanmega was annoying but not a problem, I earthquaked his ace and Scizor. Ice Beamed his Vespiquen. and Fly'd his Heracross. So not too bad really.
Bertha nearly beat me. If I didn't stock up on revives and hyper potions I wouldn't have beat her. Her Golem, Whiscash, and Gliscor were no problem. But her Hippowdon Yawned Rupert and made him harder to use. So I had to shift around until I eventually had some mons take hits to heal him up again to decimate her once more with Surf. Her Rhyperior included.
Flint was a cakewalk, to put it into perspective, Earthquaked every single mon and one shotted them.
Lucian was the most difficult, I couldn't really touch his Gallade with Jenkins. So I had to pray earthquake would crush him, which it did. then the next 60% of his team was one-shotted by Jenkins. His bronzong being an exception due to having the steel typing.

Then...Cynthia. She wasn't as scary as I expected. About 70% of her team couldn't lay a finger on Beetleborg. And by the grace of God, Rupert one shotted her Garchomp with Ice Beam. Which made me so happy. Her biggest problems were Milotic and Togekiss. But they soon fell. and I stood victorious, and boy did it feel good.

Sorry for not updating. My DS wouldn't work with Leaf Green. I tried for so long to get it to work. So after trying for so long, and many save file deletions, I said screw it and used an emulator. Anyway, here's the update.

I started the game, got the potion form the PC, went and Got Charmander. But before getting the Parcel and giving it to Oak, I stopped by the Pokemon Center, saved, and exported a save state to hack in a Kangaskhan, cause no way am I dealing with the Safari Zone, I'm sorry. I did the parcel thing, got a Pikachu, and grinded to beat the rival on Route 22 then for Brock. Grinded to 13 cause that is when Charmander gets Metal Claw. Here is how the gym went down.

Spoiler:

Brock sent out Geodude, I send out Kanker the Kangaskhan.

Kanker used Bite
Geodude used Defense Curl

Kanker used Bite
Geodude used Tackle

Kanker used Comet Punch. Hits 1 time
Geodude faints

Brock sends out Onix, switch to Reptar the Charmander

Onix used Bind
Reptar used Metal Claw
Reptar is hurt by Bind

Onix used Tackle
Reptar used Metal Claw
Reptar is hurt by Bind

Onix used Rock Tomb
Reptar faints

I send out Kanker

Kanker used Bite
Onix used Rock Tomb

Kanker used Bite
Onix faints

I win the gym fight

Next stop, Sandshrew and the second gym.

Scratch/Growl/Ember/Metal Claw

KANKER the KANGASKHAN
Level: 14

[Daysonyx]

Can we do these challenges in rom hacks?

 

[Janp]

Can we do these challenges in rom hacks?

Yep, there shouldn't be a problem with that.

 

[Kimborelli]

Can we do these challenges in rom hacks?

Just to add on to JanP's message, depends on the hack, as we do not have dex's for Fakemon hacks, however full dex hacks, (blazeblack, Hard Gold, etc) are not a problem.
