[ナギ]

nother update! im on a spree. problem is my homework is being ignored..
well, here goes..

Challenge : DARK type, EMERALD .
analysis ;
after catching a cacnea (took me almost two hours! sheesh!) and levelling up a lot everywhere - also got my Exp. Share - i decided it was time for me to challenge the Petalburg Gym. Luckily this is a Normal-type, so it wasn't hard to settle with Sableye by my side.

then Wally's dad interrupted us and dragged me to his home to give me the HM Surf. So yay! now i can surf, and now i can catch my next pokémon: Carvanha. YES.
so i surfed back to Mauville and crossed the river on Route 118, to get my Good Rod and fish for Carvanha. This didn't take nearly as long as Cacnea, luckily ..
unfortunately un-inspirational for a nickname again, i just named it Sapph after Sapphire. 'cause it's a beautiful Sapphire Blue. oh on that note, i called my Cacnea Dusk.

from then on, i battled my way through Route 119, and on to Fortree City, to battle Winona. But of course there's a Kecleon in the way.. so i was on my way, encountering the one and only Steven once again, who eventually gave me the Devon Scope so i could see the Kecleon hiding.
after that, i went in to the gym, battled the trainers and Winona, and won. Though i have to say for some odd reason, her Tropius was a pain in the ass. Solarbeaming and Synthesising all the time.. sigh. but i won, mostly thanks to my newly caught (now) Sharpedo.

summary ;
POKEMON TEAM :

♀
XANA the Mightyena, lv. 39.
Moves: Take Down, Scary Face, Swagger, Bite .

♂
SHADE the Sableye, lv. 39.
Moves: Fury Swipes, Confuse Ray, Night Shade, Faint Attack .

♂
DUSK the Cacturne, lv 39.
Moves: Absorb, Faint Attack, Leech Seed, Pin Missile .

♂
SAPPH the Sharpedo, lv. 33.
Moves: Slash, Focus Energy, Screech, Crunch .

BADGES: 5 .
LOCATION: Fortree City .

Just beat the Psychic twins in Mossdeep. Very easy even with level parity due to the type match-up. They did manage to needlessly prolong the battle by spamming Hyper Potions. I'd really like an option to block all item usage during trainer battles.

Small update on my steel UMC.

I fail at saving, so i had to fight Brawly again. I used the same fake tear strategy to take him out. After that i beat team magma, and delivered the Devon Goods. I ran into my rival, whom destroyed me about 25 times.. so i grinded with help from her wailmer until i beat her. I ran into wally and slapped him. I destroyed the trainer family, to prepare for Wattson, After dying a thousand times, i finally got lucky, with 1 hp, finished him with a mud slap. glad that ones over..

Dino/Aron

Level 27

-Take Down
-Metal Claw
-Mud-Slap
-Headbutt


Chompers/Mawile

-Astonish
-Fake Tears
-Bite
-Vice Grip

 

[Ataraxia]

I'd like to join with an Ultimate Challenge with the Dragon type!! I was just surfing Serebii looking at all the new 5th gen pokes and I realised there are loads of new dragons, which got me in the mood to train some, which reminded me of my old Solo challenge with Scizor (the thread for which was closed so I sort of drifted PC, and only now after I've deleted the saves for the solo runs do I find that it was continued but in a 'combined' thread... >.<)

So here I am. :D I'm going to start on Pokemon Yellow with Dratini (this one is gonna be a bit of a solo run...) that I'll shark in at the start at level 2!! (wild pokemon level)
The games will be,
Yellow > Crystal > Ruby > Platinum (not sure whether I'll do B/W yet)

 

[GrifSpark]

Ultimate Bug-Monotype Challenge - Kanto

1) Headed down to Celadon, and went back to the game corner, after hearing about TeamRocket's involvement.

2) I pressed the 'secret' button, revealing TeamRocket's base, which I quickly traversed through, training Everin to the best of his abilities. Soon, I came across Giovanni, who was much easier than I first thought, using Pandora's GigaDrain move.

3) I found the SliphScope and went back to the Pokemon Tower, which I fought up, and came across a restless Marowak spirit, who was swiftly dealt with. I headed forward, and came across Mr. Fuji, who gave me the PokeFlute for my troubles (Yay, unlimited Awakenings!).

4) Headed south and past the Snorlax, and then successfully caught a Venonat (Nicknamed Molotov, and it was the worst mistake ever)

5) I'm not joking. It was Lv.24, which was ten levels lower (Roughly) than my other Pokemon, so it took some training. After spending over an hour grinding, I managed to get it up to Lv.30, meaning he can hold his own against a couple of Pokemon at a time.

Current Team

Scarlet (Butterfree) Lv. 35
Gust, SleepPowder, WhirlWind, Psybeam

Deca (Beedrill) Lv. 35
Pursuit, TwinNeedle, FocusEnergy, FuryAttack

Pandora (Parasect) Lv. 35
