The Special Pairs Challenge

Would I be able to do this in a hack of Fire Red that includes Gliscor and Weavile, but has them evolve by moon stone? If so, sign me up. If not...erm, I'll come up with another team.

Also, could I suggest any two of Yanmega, Tangrowth and Mammoswine as a team, seeing as they all evolve by levelling up while knowing ancientpower? Or is that too loose of a connection?

The challenge idea is okay, the pairs idea is not

Update:
Nothing really to say except that...
I BEAT WATTSON!
 
Okay, so I started this today. Sorry if I misread and you were saying that using Weavile and Gliscor in a game where they don't evolve with the razor items was not okay. Anyway.

-Started a new game on Moemon Forever V2 (Basically FireRed except with a few 4th gen pokemon thrown in and everything available in the wild)
-Named myself Tachi and my rival Gary.
-Hacked to replace Bulbasaur with Sneasel (Yep, glass cannon ice type vs special attacker fire type, what could possibly go wrong?)
-Got Oak's parcel, pokedex, etc.
-Forgot to upgrade to the National Dex in Viridian City (I kind of want to see if this stops Sneasel from evolving just in case I don't have to fight the E4 rematch teams)
-Stocked up on potions and antidotes, beat Gary on Route 22 and headed through the Viridian Forest
-Battled Brock and was kind of disappointed, Sneasel just spammed Screech and quick attack for the win.

Badges won: 1
Team:
Sara the naughty (great, Sp. Def reducing nature) Sneasel Lv.16
-Quick Attack
-Screech
-Taunt
-Scratch
 
Game: Firered

Pokemon: Espeon and Umbreon

Also I think you should add Vileplume and Bellosum.
 
Update #5
-Found Team Magma blocking my way to Mt. Chimney
-Went up that fire cave... (what was it called?)
-Got to Fallarbor
-Went through to the next Route
-Caught Seviper
-Grinded some
-Rescued Prof. Cozmo from the team Magma Grunts
-Headed back to the chairlift up to Mt. Chimney
-Defeated Team Magma's Maxie on the summit
-Saved

Either that or just make a new post each time. It's really up to you. But I'll probably be more likely to see when you finish if you make a new post each time.
 
Sounds interesting enough! :]

Game Name: Pokémon Yellow
Pair: Nidoking and Nidoqueen (…of course)

I also believe you should include the following pairs:
  • Rapidash and Zebstrika
  • Pinsir and Heracross
  • Sudowoodo and Mr. Mime (both evolve by learning Mimic)
  • Tangrowth and Mamoswine (both evolve by learning Ancientpower)
  • Probopass and Magnezone (both evolve in Mt. Coronet)

EDIT: How about Pokémon with form differences?
ie. Basculin (red + blue), or Gastrodon (east + west)​
 
Ok, i'd like to sign up for this. I'll be doing it in Leaf Green with Blastoise and Charizard.
 
Hi,may I join?

Game: SoulSilver
Pair: Magmortar and ELectivire

Will hack to obtain those and will hack about evolving Magby>>Magmar(LVL 30)>>Magmortar(LVL 60),this also works for Electivire

EDIT: Will hack Cyndaquil to evolve into Magby @ lvl 6 and MArrep into Elekid @ lvl 7
