[Polonian]

I started my own Bingo card with the Signature Move challenge in FireRed. I chose Body Slam as my signature move.

I selected Squirtle as my starter and used it to solo the game until I reached the grass patches on Route 3, where I could catch my first team members: Belloon the Jigglypuff and Slam Queen the Female Nidoran. After catching them, I perma-boxed Squirtle and started training my new teammates, first at the wild Pokémon on Route 3 to Lv10, and after that, on the trainers I skipped in Viridian Forest and Route 3.
Currently, I am about to enter the Mt. Moon.​

MY TEAM:

Belloon (Jigglypuff) Lv13 | Female
Ability: Cute Charm
Moves: Sing, Defense Curl, Pound

Slam Queen (Nidoran-F) Lv14 | Female
Ability: Poison Point
Moves: Growl, Scratch, Tail Whip, Double Kick​

---

December 6 Update: I have continued this challenge, and I have 3 badges now. My team hasn't changed, except for adding a Farfetch'd as an HM slave for Cut and, in the future, Fly.

VS Rival German (Cerulean City):

Spoiler:

I started by defeating Pidgeotto with Slam Queen's Body Slam, and wanted to defeat the rest of his team with Belloon, who managed to kill Abra and Rattata, but was defeated by Bulbasaur's Vine Whip, so Slam Queen had to finish it.

VS Misty:

Spoiler:

I started by defeating Staryu with Slam Queen's Body Slam, and then, switched to Belloon, put Starmie to sleep with Sing, and wanted to defeat it with Secret Power, but Starmie woke up quickly and used Water Pulse. Finally Slam Queen's Bite allowed me to win and receive the Cascade Badge.

VS Rival German (SS Anne):

Spoiler:

Due to being overleveled (both Belloon and Slam Queen were already Level 30 at the time), I was expecting this battle to be easy peasy, but Ivysaur proved to be challenging, evading Belloon's Sing and putting my Pokémon to sleep with Sleep Powder, but I emerged victorious thanks to Slam Queen's Body Slam.

VS Lt. Surge:

Spoiler:

Slam Queen defeated Lt. Surge's team with a combination of Dig and Body Slam. It had some problems with defeating Raichu, as it had Double Team for evasion, and its Static managed to paralyze Slam Queen, but I finally won and received the Thunder Badge.

MY TEAM:

Belloon (Jigglypuff) Lv31 | Female
Ability: Cute Charm
Moves: Sing, Secret Power, Brick Break, Rollout

Slam Queen (Nidoqueen) Lv30 | Female
Ability: Poison Point
Moves: Bite, Body Slam, Dig, Double Kick​

Monotype

So for this challenge, I decided to select the water type. I typically would go with grass since I love Chikorita. But, I did Meganium for the solo challenge and thought maybe water. Since most of the TMs could be taught to the water types and it'd make things easier. Now starting it off, I went with Totodile and named him Geyser. The rival was easy since I was 3 levels higher and his Chikorita didn't do much damage to me. Then the route was sort of a sweep though I ran into a few Bellsprouts which sort of made me question if I should actually change. Since I don't know when I'd get another water type for the team. But, I'll stick with water for now until I come across some sort of challenge that makes things super irritating and makes me not want to deal with the game any longer. Anyhow, gym time and the whole gym was a sweep. Gave Geyser a berry so it could heal and just Leered and Scratched my way to victory. And that was what I thought at first. That is until I used Rage against one of the Gym Trainers and thought that this would be an easy way to beat some of the gyms. And that is how I defeated the first gym. Using rage at the beginning and just using that the whole way through. So one badge down, 7 to go.

December 7-8 Update of FireRed Signature Move Challenge (Body Slam):

VS Rival German (Lavender Town):

Spoiler:

I used Slam Queen as my lead and started from defeating Pidgeotto with Body Slam. Kadabra fell to Bite, Gyarados to Body Slam, Growlithe to critical Dig, and Ivysaur again to Body Slam, despite Slam Queen having -2 Attack from Intimidate abilities of Gyarados and Growlithe. Ivysaur had bad luck there, constantly missing with Sleep Powder.

VS Erika:

Spoiler:

Slam Queen defeated the entire Erika's team with Body Slam. It wasn't that easy however, as she was unable to OHKO, and Victreebel was frequently using Stun Spore.

VS Giovanni (Team Rocket Hideout):

Spoiler:

I used Belloon, now a Wigglytuff, this time and swept through Giovanni's team with Body Slam and Brick Break.

After clearing the Pokémon Tower, I could get my 3rd team member - Zynx the Jynx. I trained it via VS Seeker trainer rematching and on Cycling Road trainers. It was very quick, mostly because of the experience boost for traded Pokémon.

VS Koga:

Spoiler:

This was the toughest Gym Battle so far, mostly due to Muk. It managed to get +6 evasion from Minimize and Acid Armor defense boost, and managed to defeat Belloon and deplete all PP of Slam Queen's Body Slam. Otherwise, it was pretty easy, with Slam Queen defeating 1st Koffing with Body Slam and Zynx defeating 2nd Koffing and Weezing with Psychic.

VS Rival German (Silph Co.):

Spoiler:

I used Slam Queen as my lead and she almost OHKO'ed Pidgeot with Body Slam, and shortly later, it got poisoned from her Poison Point ability and fell to poison damage. Critical Bite took down Alakazam, Zynx's Ice Punch defeated Gyarados, and Growlithe couldn't tank a single Psychic. Venusaur was toughest as it was tanking Slam Queen's Body Slam and constantly used Sleep Powder against her, but Belloon finally defeated it.

VS Giovanni (Silph Co.):

Spoiler:

Slam Queen was my lead again. Her Body Slam easily took down Nidorino. Kangaskhan fell to Superpower, and Rhyhorn to Zynx's Ice Punch. The battle ended with Nidoqueen vs. Nidoqueen showdown, with my Slam Queen winning after using Body Slam and Dig.

After finishing the Silph Co. sub-quest, I got my 4th and final team member - Prussian the Lapras. I had to train it to catch up with the rest of team, and this time, it took a lot more time compared to Zynx. I used the VS Seeker rematches and trainers from Routes 12-15, plus some skipped trainers from Cycling Road.

VS Sabrina:

Spoiler:

This time, Prussian was my lead, and it quickly OHKO'ed Kadabra and Mr. Mime with Body Slam. Venomoth was able to tank 1st Body Slam, but its Psybeam dealt next to no damage. Alakazam was looking tough, as it outsped Prussian and used Calm Mind, but Prussian managed to paralyze it and was holding a Cheri Berry that nullified the effects of Alakazam's Synchronize ability. Another Body Slam finally took down Alakazam.

MY CURRENT TEAM:

Belloon (Wigglytuff) Lv50 | Female
Ability: Cute Charm
Gentle Nature
Moves: Sing, Body Slam, Brick Break, Rollout

Slam Queen (Nidoqueen) Lv50 | Female
Ability: Poison Point
Naive Nature
Moves: Bite, Body Slam, Dig, Superpower

Zynx (Jynx) Lv48 | Female
Ability: Oblivious
Mild Nature
Moves: Lovely Kiss, Psychic, Double Slap, Ice Punch

Prussian (Lapras) Lv49 | Male
Ability: Shell Armor
Hardy Nature
Moves: Surf, Body Slam, Confuse Ray, Ice Beam​

 

[Polonian]

I have completed the FireRed Signature Move Challenge with Body Slam! I had some problems with the Elite Four battles, but I won!

VS Blaine:

Spoiler:

Blaine was very easy, defeated by Prussian and his combination of Surf and Body Slam.

VS Giovanni (as Gym Leader):

Spoiler:

Another very easy battle thanks to Prussian's Surf, Body Slam and Ice Beam.

VS Rival German (Route 22):

Spoiler:

I led with Slam Queen and defeated Pidgeot with a combination of Bite and Body Slam. Unfortunately, she failed to OHKO Alakazam with Bite and it successfully used Disable. Luckily a critical Body Slam took down Alakazam. Belloon's Body Slam defeated Growlithe, while Prussian handled the rest of German's team, defeating Rhyhorn with Surf, Venusaur with Ice Beam and Gyarados with a Confuse Ray/Body Slam combo.

VS Lorelei:

Spoiler:

Lorelei was a tough battle. Belloon defeated Dewgong with a Body Slam/Brick Break combo, but Dewgong managed to use Hail. Cloyster evaded the first Sing, set up Spikes, and once it woke up stopped Belloon's Rollout with Protect, but was eventually defeated with Body Slam. Slowbro also evaded the first Sing and used Yawn, so I switched to Slam Queen and she was quickly defeated by Slowbro's Surf. Belloon returned and put Slowbro to sleep with Sing, and defeated it with Body Slam. She also defeated the rest of Lorelei's team with a lot of Body Slamming.

VS Bruno:

Spoiler:

I was expecting Bruno to be easy, but I was wrong. Zynx easily defeated the 1st Onix, but fell to Hitmonchan's Rock Tomb, mostly due to my mistakes. Prussian used his attacks to defeat Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, but was defeated by Machamp's Cross Chop. Slam Queen finally defeated Machamp, but she received a Scary Face which allowed 2nd Onix to outspeed her. Onix was, however, too weak to defeat her efficiently.

VS Agatha:

Spoiler:

Agatha was the easiest Elite Four battle, with Zynx quickly sweeping with Body Slam, Psychic, Ice Punch and a little help of Lovely Kiss.

VS Lance:

Spoiler:

I led with Prussian and he defeated Gyarados with a combination of Confuse Ray, Body Slam and Ice Beam. Aerodactyl, however, managed to outspeed Prussian and defeat it with Ancient Power. I sent out Belloon and managed to put Aerodactyl to sleep with Sing, and then I could revive Prussian. Belloon defeated Aerodactyl with a combination of Body Slam and Rollout. Dragonite fell to Zynx's Ice Punch, and both Dragonair were defeated by Prussian's Ice Beam.

VS Rival German (as Champion):

Spoiler:

I started with Belloon, and used a similar strategy against Pidgeot and Alakazam: used Sing followed by Body Slam. Rhydon couldn't survive even a single Prussian's Surf. Against Venusaur, I switched back to Belloon, but Venusaur was very efficiently tanking her hits, and as a result, it depleted all PP's of Belloon's Body Slam. I used a Max Ether, but that gave Venusaur a free turn to set up Solar Beam and defeat Belloon. Zynx finally defeated Venusaur with Psychic. German sent out Gyarados which was put to sleep by Zynx's Lovely Kiss, but it was tanking Psychic very well, quickly woke up and defeated Zynx with Thrash. I sent out Slam Queen and defeated Gyarados with Body Slam, but she quickly fell to Arcanine's Flamethrower, dealing next to no damage with Earthquake due to combined Attack malus from burning and Intimidate. Prussian finally defeated Arcanine with a Confuse Ray/Surf combo, and I won!

Challenge #2: Pokémon Platinum Duo-Species Challenge: "The Emperor of Sinnoh"

As my second Bingo challenge, I have chosen the Sinnoh Duo-Species Challenge. I dedided to go with Empoleon and Alakazam as my team.

Empoleon, nicknamed Emperor - I received him as a Starter Pokémon.
Alakazam, nicknamed Magician - I caught it on Route 203.

The beginning was extremely tough, mainly because Radon's Turtwig (Radon is how I named my rival) was using Withdraw to get +6 Defense, and Bubble was NVE. I was forced to attack with Pound and minimize damage dealt by opponent with Growl.

After I caught Magician, I had to switch-train it until it could evolve into Kadabra. It evolved shortly after defeating the Oreburgh Gym. Its main drawback at the beginning was complete lack of coverage, as he had only Confusion. As a result, he had problems with the Galactic Commanders, as they use Dark-types. It got some coverage after the Eterna Gym, first with Grass Knot from Gardenia, and later with Shock Wave shortly before Veilstone.

After that, the game got easy, mainly because I was overleveled and both Emperor and Magician had good type coverage. Even the Elite Four was pretty easy.

This was my 1st complete Sinnoh playthrough. Previously, I didn't have much knowledge about Sinnoh, so sometimes I had to look at the walkthroughs. I was also sometimes getting lost in the dungeons, especially in Mt. Coronet, Distortion World, and the Victory Road. Nevertheless, I'm content about this run, and I'm looking forward for the next challenge.

My Hall of Fame:

Emperor (Empoleon) Lv70 | Male
Ability: Torrent
Calm Nature
Moves: Dig, Flash Cannon, Surf, Drill Peck

Magician (Alakazam) Lv69 | Male
Ability: Synchronize
Modest Nature
Moves: Psychic, Grass Knot, Shadow Ball, Shock Wave

and the HM Slaves of: Bibarel (Cut, Strength, Waterfall, Rock Climb & Rock Smash pre-Iron Island), Togepi (Flash & Rock Smash post-Iron Island) and Zubat (Fly & Defog).
