    Uhhh...*checks Hall Of Fame*
    This was my team: (levels were after the challenge was finished)
    lv59 Gengar
    lv59 Infernape
    lv59 Tyranitar
    lv57 Pidgeot
    lv59 Electivire
    lv63 Blastoise

    I honestly thought they were lower leveled.

    Okay. Well right now I'm leveling them all up to Lv. 59 so Empoleon can learn Hydro Pump. After that I might go for Lv. 60 just to even it up. I've gone through before with their levels 47-53, and I made it to Cythia, but I couldn't beat her Garchomp.

  • Today I ventured in and explored Heartthome City for the first time. Pretty bizarre place. Super religious/fanatic...hmmm.

    Anyways ran into Shaun (my rival) and battled him. I took out his Prinlup 21 with my Budew 18 and I was pretty proud of that. My Luxio took out everyone else and I didn't have to even send out my starter. I was proud of my guys.

    Oh and, using EXP SHARE, My Magikarp (first Pokemon I'd caught--I named him "Future"), evolved into Gyrados.

    I'm a happy camper :D.

    Sort of dreading having to do any contests but I can't wait to put Fantina in her place.

  • I'm in the midst of EV training my final, UU team right now. I was fortunate enough to finish Scyther yesterday, so now I'm on to Azumarill. All I can really add is that I strongly hope I never want or need to change my team after this.

    Well, for Garchomp, get a pokemon with an ice move, maybe have Empoleon learn ice beam w/ a TM or something. Ice moves are 4x effective against Garchomp, due to it being Dragon/Ground.

    I just won, with a level 59 team. The E4 was easy, and my only problem was with the Garchomp. Empoleon has an Ice move, but Garchomp still OHKO'd it with EQ, so I revived Pokes untill the EQ was out of HP, then I OHKO'd Garchomp with Avalanche. The rest of her team was easy. Spiritomb - 2HKO with Petal Dance, Miloctic OHKO with Discharge, Togekiss 2HKO with Discharge, Lucario and Roserade - OHKO with Flamethrower, Garchomp - eventual OHKO with Avalanche.

    Congrats, but beware if you go back, they've leveled up, so the Garchomp is lv78 (in Platinum at least)

    Not much happened today, I only caught heatran after 16 Ultra Balls and migrated Zapdos and Moltres (along with Kingler, Lapras, Venonat, and Dratini) from my LeafGreen after accidently knocking them out in Platinum yesterday.

  • Well, heading to Hearthome. and then to Veilstone, i think i can stop in to do contest with my Jolteon while in there ;) also, my pearl freezed, so i started my plan in diamond, which is to head and defeat E4 with only 2 trained pokemons, those would be my Grotle(torterra soon) and Jolteon, then i start getting and traning new pokemons and making battle team. I maybe get Eeveelution team for battles :)

    After looking around the battle frontier I decided to challenge the battle factory and the battle tower.
    Currently looking for a Bagon.

  • Beat Platinum again today, and that Garchomp really messed with me. I have two Pokemon that know Ice moves, but he wiped out BOTH of them with Earthquake; one of them being a frustratingly lucky critical hit. Actually, Cynthia beat me once and I had to restart. But a small bit of luck on my part (battling a tremendous amount on her part) allowed me to pull through the second time with a team of four.

    I already beat Pearl and was a late bloomer to buy Platinum so that's what I'm playing
