    Hola, all and welcome to:

    The Trio- Species Challenge​

    The point of this challenge Is to complete any game (Or for a challenge do all generations [ultimate trio species] ) with three totally different Pokemon.

    Rules:
    - The three Pokemon must be of 3 totally different types, if there is a secondary type, try to limit those. (For example, if your trio-species challenge included Sceptile, Altaria, and Gyarados, this WOULD be tolerated because Gyarados's secondary type is flying and it cannot learn many flying moves, however Sceptile, Altaria, and Pelipper wouldn't be tolerated because Flying is a half-type of both Altaria and Pelipper)
    - You should limit yourself to 1 Pokemon being hacked in, but in some situations, 2 would be allowed, however, 3 is just too many
    - Trading is allowed, most preferably in egg form
    - Please do not use any cheats to make the game easier, it's supposed to be a tiny bit easier and tougher (at the same time) than the Duo Run, considering you have a bigger variety of Pokemon, but you also have another Pokemon to feed to train.
    - Absolutely NO legendaries, this is for the fun of the challenge, otherwise it'd be too easy.
    - The challenge is over when you defeat the Elite Four and Champion, Or when you beat Red in G/S/C or HG/SS
    - In relation to the above, if you were to do an ultimate challenge with the trio, It would end after you finish all 4 generations.

    I'll give it a go. Hope I don't forget about it.

    Version: Ruby
    Team: Blaziken, Flygon, Glalie

    Obviously these are insanely spaced out in obtainability. But I don't really care, lol.
     
    So, with the ultimate challenge, do we have to choose a team which has at least one, preferably two members present in all regional dexes or can we choose any team (assuming they're available in at least one version of a generation) and hack/trade in when necessary?
    Also, if I had a Magmar (for example) in my trio, would I be allowed to evolve it during the 4th gen part of my challenge?

    Click to expand...

    You should try to keep one in all dexes, but certainly if you wanted a team of Furret, Tentacruel, and Noctowl (By God, who would want that team?) I woud allow you to hack in a sentret and hoothoot, respectively, into Fire Red or Leaf Green. But it would be best if you didn't have to hack in all 3. And, about the Magmar, I would have to say no considering it doesn't evolve in the other generations, so it would be better to keep it as a Magmar.

    @Sydian Lol ok added you, have fun catching Snorunt! [/sarcasm]
     
    Alright then, I'd like to do an ultimate trio challenge using Tentacruel, Flareon and Machamp. I'll go FR/SS/E/Pt and hack Machop in Fire Red (Can't get any team members before the ThunderBadge otherwise), Eevee in Emerald (Doesn't exist in Hoenn) and I'll catch my team normally in the others.

    I figured I might as well update. I usually update after one gym, but I'm kinda blazin' through since I only have one Pokemon. Don't wanna clutter the thread.

    Game: Ruby
    Player: Dude
    Badges: 2
    Time: 4:21 (I think...something with 4 hours, idek)

    Followill / Combusken (m) lv. 31 @ Exp. Share
    - Double Kick
    - Bulk Up
    - Ember
    - Peck

    [PokeCommunity.com] The Trio-Species Challenge (Revived)

    Zigzagoon x 5 (Rodeo Ring, OldJailKey, AlexIsSexi, Garrid!, and Zimbawee)
    These are all HM/Pickup slaves

    So yeah. I'm about to beat all the trainers on Route 117 and Wally and then take on Watson. I imagine I'll be sporting a Blaziken at the end of this. Heck, Followill will probably be level 50 by the time I catch a Trapinch, lmao. Oh well though.
     
    I've been doing something like this on Platinum, with a team of Torterra, Staraptor, and Floatzel. If I can, sign me up (Staraptor doesn't learn too many normal type moves anyhow, so...).

    I'll do this on Leafgreen! My team will be :t003: , :t143: , and :t134:
     
    Anyhow, I'm going to post my team so far. Currently I'm training up for Crasher Wake (AKA battling the Pokwmon Breeder on Route 210 with Happiny multiple times).

    "Weaselz" the Floatzel
    Level 35
    Bashful nature
    -Water Gun
    -Crunch
    -Ice Fang
    -Aqua Jet

    "Birdz" the Staraptor
    Level 41
    Hasty nature (Luckeh me)
    -Close Combat
    -Return
    -Aerial Ace
    -Wing Attack

    "Turtlez" the Torterra
    Level 40
    Serious nature
    -Earthquake
    -Synthesis
    -Bite
    -Razor Leaf

    ...And of course I have a bunch of HM Slaves that aren't worth mentioning.

    Wake is going to be pretty easy, I think. He was easy last time I played Platinum, and I was using an Infernape... -_-
     
    I finally got around to starting this. Update #1
    ____________________________________________

    -Started the game, called myself Link and my rival Ganon (Yep, real subtle naming there...)
    -Hacked Machop in place of Squirtle (Realised later I should've replaced Charmander for fairness's sake) Named him Power. (Okay, I know it should be Courage, but that suits Flareon so much better)
    -Delivered Oak's Parcel
    -Killed Rattatas and Mankeys until Power hit level 13, battled Ganon and won.
    -Headed through Viridian Forest, battled Brock in Pewter City, critted Karate Chop vs Geodude and one shotted Onix with Low Kick.
    -Got the Boulder Badge
    Team:
    Power/Machop Lv.16
    -Low Kick
    -Leer
    -Focus Energy
    -Karate Chop

    -Replaced Low Kick with Rock Tomb and headed east to Mt Moon
    -Caught a Paras HM slave in Mt Moon
    -Beat Ganon again north of Cerulean City
    -Beat the nugget bridge and made my way to Bill's house
    -Saved the creepy furry dude from his 'The Fly' reference
    -Healed up and headed to the gym
    -2 hit KOd Staryu with Karate Chop, nearly KOd Starmie before Power fainted, threw my HM slave at it while I revived him (please, tell me this is allowed) and then finished it with another karate chop.
    -Got the Cascade Badge
    Team:
    Power/Machop Lv.27
    -Karate Chop
    -Rock Tomb
    -Leer
    -Focus Energy

    So I'm in the SS Anne currently. My Ivysaur (Shazaam) is level 31 and knows Razor Leaf, Poison Powder, Leech Seed, And Secret Power. Can't wait to get Vaporeon
     
    Version: Soul Silver
    Team: Meganium, Milotic(Cheating in) and Ninetales

    Accepted? I hope so, this seems fun!
     
    So many Challenges, so little time...

    Gonna do this! An Ultimate Challenge with...

    Gengar :t094:, Gyarados :t130:, and Machamp :t068:.

    Will go Yellow, SoulSilver, Sapphire, and Platinum(prolly). This one looks like fun!

    Edit: Just started! A quick update here for Yellow, which should be fun, since I've never played it before.

    So I called myself Wes and my Rival Gary. After Gary stole my Eevee, I got a Pikachu, and lost to a critical hit Tackle >_< . After getting the Pokdex and making my way through Viridian City, I sharked in a Machop just before Viridian Forest. Pikachu almost died to a crit Karate Chop but I was able to catch it at L6 on the first ball with Pikachu hanging on with 2 HP left. Forgot to name it, though :(. With Machop, ran through the Forest and eventually had to use Struggle to beat the last trainer :laugh:. That was hilarious. Machop was at L12 when we arrived at Pewter City. Challenged Brock after growing to L13 in the previous battle, and won with Karate Chop spam and using a few Potions. The Critical Hit rate in this game is totally skewed! After getting the Boulder Badge and teaching Bide stat to Machop, I started making my way to Mt. Moon. I fought the first trainer and the Rocket and used the HP Up on Machop, then saved. Gonna start again soon.

    Team Wes:

    Can I join please?

    I'll be using Torterra, Gyrados and Machamp and be playing on Platinum. Is that ok?
     
    Actually, since dragonite149 posted out Playr.org, I've decided to do it on Pokemon Red. I'll use Blastoise, Raticate and Raichu(If I'm lucky enough to find a Pikachu!).
