    This challenge is only applicable for Gen III and above.

    The Ranger's Challenge



    The challenge features temporary Pokemon Assist Points (AP), which are determined by the pokeball used for capture. Each time one of your pokemon levels up, one AP is deducted. Once a Pokemon reaches 0 AP, it can no longer aid you in your quest, and you will have to release/box it. The rates are as follows:

    • Pokeball - 12 AP (in other words, you may keep your pokemon for 11 levels; release at 12th)
    • Great Ball - 15 AP
    • Ultra Ball - 18 AP
    • Master Ball - 21 AP
    • Other - 15 AP
    • [Special] Rare Candies may be used and will not deduct any AP. The amount of rare candies you may use on a single pokemon depends on the number of markings (●, ▲, ■, ♥, ★ and ♦) you can place via Storage System. Add a mark everytime you give them one.
    • [Special] Luxury, Love and Friend Balls will allow you to befriend ANY pokemon -- granting you their assistance until they reach lv 70. Only one befriended Pokemon is allowed in a playthrough.
    Reminder: Your Pokemon's status screen will have a record of what level it was caught, give your team a check once in a while to remind you of when others shall be released.
    • Hacking and Trading Pokemon is NOT allowed.
    • The challenge ends when the credits roll...or anytime after that

    Sounds like fun, I'll take on this challenge. I'll post a few status reports throughout and play until Mewtwo is defeated.

    Update: I have a question for you Molivious
    When a Pokemon reaches it's last AP, can you use it until it reaches it's 0 AP level? Ex- If i'm understanding correctly, a Pokemon caught at level 5 would have 1 AP at level 16, can i use that Pokemon until it reaches level 17, or must it be released at level 16?

    Yes, you can still use it at 1 AP. If levels up to level 17 or even higher mid-fight, you may still use it until the end of the battle. E.g Elite four is as a series of fights, so you can't avoid growing your pokemon...or say you were trying to solo a gym, having pokemon over-assist you in these situations is totally acceptable.
