    The Weakness Challenge!




    Welcome to the weakness challenge! Pretty sure I'm just reviving this from the past, but Sheerow and I thought it would be fun to bring back! Basically the objective of this challenge is to only use types weak to the type you choose. For example: If you choose Fire type, you can only use Ice, Grass, Steel, and Bug type Pokemon. However there is another catch. You cannot use moves that are super-effective against the type you choose either. For example: You cannot teach your Venusaur Earthquake if you choose Fire type.

    Here are the rules for this challenge:

    1. Normal type can't be chosen(obviously)
    2. No learning super-effective moves to the type you choose.
    3. You must ditch your starter as soon as possible if it doesn't meet the criteria for the type you choose.
    4. You may have an HM slave, but it can't be used in battle. Even as a meat shield!
    5. This isn't a nuzlocke! If your Pokemon faints that is still okay.
    6. Nicknaming is optional, but encouraged!
    7. The type you choose must represent at least one of the Gym/Elite Four member's of that region.
    8. Dual typing cannot negate a weakness. Example: If you pick Electric you cannot use Wooper, Swampert, etc.
    9. Abilities can count for weakness or non weakness, so Toxicroak with Dry Skin counts for a Fire Type Weakness, but Eelektross with Levitate does not count for a Ground weakness

    I've got a retro gaming set-up on my RPi now, with SNES and GB and all sorts, so I'm going back to Yellow even though I hate Pikachu! Trollin' myself here, Brock has ground type pokemon. So I get electric, poison, fire and rock.

    This challenge sounds fun. I'll update this afternoon with my progress.

  • Double posting so that this thread doesn't get lost to the ages (yet)! Anyway, I finished in Crystal.

    My team was Pidgeot (Hall), Couture (Scyther), and JVR (Feraligatr)

    It took a lot of Toxic, Screech, Swords Dance, Agility, and sheer luck to win with such a low-leveled team. If necessary, I can post more pics.
