Weeelll...
I may as well update, considering that I've just beaten the third gym and am now on an epic quest for PP ups (Because seriously, Aaneel really, REALLY needs it, because his only actual attack has 10pp. Not that he needs it to kill things, but it makes it SO much faster.)

You're on the fourth gym and your team is level 41 across the board. I hope it's a typo, but if not.. What's up with that?

You've been added to the list for now. If you don't post an update within seven days, I'll just put you back on the list when you do post an update.

 

[Colourful]

Ok thx 4 signing me up! ^.^
I will probably be able to start in 6 days. I'm on 14 Badges in my current run.

Um... well, there was a typo, but that was just me accidentally forgetting to change "pidgeotto" into "pidgeot".
And I Grind. Incessantly. Anyone who knows my games could tell you so.
We're going to be taking Morty's gym when we have straight fifties across the board.
So I'll probably edit this post then.

[Enigma]

Alrighty, first update.

• Picked Totodile for HM purposes later.
• Caught Rattata, named it 'Rough Rat'. (Terrible name, I know.)
• Caught Hoothoot, named it 'Nightwing'.
• I have to wait until morning to catch Pidgey and Hoppip, since they only appear during the morning. So I saved.

 

[deoxys121]

Here's my next update for this challenge. I'm making somewhat slow progress due to the fact that I have two challenges going at once. Anyway, here's how things went since my last update:

- Caught a Geodude for HM slave use, specifically Rock Smash for now, then Strength and Rock Climb.
- Went back to Jubilife City and beat the Galactic Grunts.
- Went through to Floaroma Town and Valley Windworks, facing trainers along the way and beat Team Galactic.
- Went through the next route and through Eterna Forest on my way to Eterna City, beat all the trainers along the way.
- Beat the Eterna Gym. Gardenia's entire team got swept with Staravia's Wing Attack.
Team is now:

Lv23
- Tackle
- Whirlwind
- Quick Attack
- Wing Attack

Lv23
- Hyper Fang
- Water Gun
- Defense Curl
- Rollout
___________________________________________________

Wow, I was just going through Old Chateau so I could see Rotom, and along the way I came across a Shiny Gastly. I couldn't believe it! I know it's irrelevant to the challenge, but still, I had to catch it.

Spoiler:

 

[waters_echo]

In the meantime, I took out the Lake of Rage/Mahogany Rockets, trained, and took out Pryce's gym.
Think I'll take out Chuck next, then Jasmine.

Noctowl, F, lv.60, Quick claw
Dream eater, hypnosis, confusion, peck

Sahar
Raticate, F, lv.61, King's rock
Pursuit, super fang, focus energy, hyper fang

Euell
Furret, M, lv.60, Mystic water
Tackle, surf, slam, quick attack

Aouli
Pidgeot, F, lv.60, Sharp beak
Wing attack, sand attack, quick attack, gust

Aaneel
Jumpluff, M, lv60, Miracle seed
Mega drain, leech seed, stun spore, poisonpowder

Dixie
Raticate, M, lv.61, -
Pursuit, strength, focus energy, rock smash

Also:
Alizee, Hophip, F, lv.3, -, Flash, splash
GlitterRat, Shiny raticate, lv.16, -, Tackle, cut, quick attack, hyper fang [Rt.43]

Caught Chinchou the CHINCHOU for flash and whirlpool.
---
So that's two shinies total for this challenge? A ghastly and a raticate.
Pity I can't use GlitterRat as anything other than an HMslave, but I suppose I have two raticates anyhow.
(Better than my Diamond Nuzlocke, in which I have three dustox, two of whom are shiny, and all of whom I've trained. I somehow have managed to break my own shiny record and have three shinies in that game)

 

[deoxys121]

Making one more update before going to bed.
- Got Cut, went through Old Chateau to see Rotom, went through Galactic Building, got Togepi egg.
- Went down Cycling Road fighting trainers, went to Oreburgh to heal up, went back up and down to hatch Togepi, used it for Flash to do the Wayward Cave side-quest.
- Deposited my slaves for gym battle when I reached Hearthome City.
- Battle with Fantina went: Bibarel uses Rollout repeatedly to take out Duskull and Mismagius. During this, Bibarel takes a critical hit from Mismagius's Magical leaf. After taking out Mismagius, I switched in Staravia to take out Haunter with a few Aerial Aces.
Team is now:

Lv31
- Tackle
- Whirlwind
- Quick Attack
- Aerial Ace

Lv31
- Hyper Fang
- Water Gun
- Defense Curl
- Rollout

By the way, my planned slaves are Piplup (Cut, Surf, Defog) and Geodude (Rock Smash, Strength, Rock Climb). Fly and Waterfall will be battle moves on Staraptor and Bibarel respectively.

Alright, signing you up now! And, yes, if you want to give yourself even more challenge, you can choose not to evolve them. (bear in mind, Wurmple won't do you much good...)

 

[TheBowsinator]

Mudkip 2hkos the poocheanna. Thats fail.
Mudkip is nicknamed "HM"
Head to may, beat her, get pokeballs
Looking at the first wurmple, i get really scared. Why did i agree to do an unevolved run? Why? Why did i ask for something so stupid?
I dont know, but i have to do it! as much length as it will take...*sigh*
Gets Pokeballs, catches all pokemon
Running Shoes are awesome!

OK, I'm not gonna be too detailed with this update, but I went from Hearthome City through to Veilstone City, doing all the side-quests along the way. Piplup is now a full-on Cut and Defog slave. Staravia evolved into Staraptor along the way. Here's how the battle with Maylene went: Bibarel uses Return; Meditite faints; Bibarel uses Return; Machoke uses Karate Chop (ow); Bibarel uses Return; Machoke faints; Staraptor uses Close Combat; Lucario faints; I win.
Battle team is now:

Then I went through the route between Pastoria and Hearthome, saw Manaphy on the way at the Mansion. Traveled north on my way to do that quest for Cynthia. Now I think I'm gonna stop for tonight.
