[subame]

Well hello again, subame here in emerald, moving on with the POison run!

-Did various shenangins
-Went on to fight Aqua at their base...Which leads me to a question..Why don't grunts evolve their Pokemon? Really it dosen't make sense..They're well past the right level, and, all the bad dudess care about is power, so, why don'y they evolve? It makes Aqua frustratingly easy, and downright dull..
-Plus...they are WATER themed, so, why use bats and Hyenas, and Feshwater Pirinhas, which, mide not survive in expanded salty seas? Wouldn't that doom their pokemon who they are expanding the sea to help?
-Whatever
-After that I sailed across the sea, completly unprepared for Tate and Liza.
-Cleared the Gym via Crunch.
-And epic-failed the leaders.
-Deppressed, I went off to Grind and possibly change movesets...
-But at least Aqua sucks...it makes me feel better..
-Oh, and I've decided I'm using Drapion in Gen 4(Derned Psychics..)

Location: Ecruteak

I managed to get to Goldenrod without any leveling, but I can't beat Whitney, mainly because of that stupid Attract.
And when Miltank decides not to use attract, instead something like Critflinch Stomp happens.

Update: Ok, I finally managed to beat her now. 6 X Defends+6 Smokescreens+some Super Potions+a lot of patience because of Attract, Miltank's high Sp.Def and Milk Drink did the job. I'm bankrupt and almost out of items now, so Morty will be even harder

More Update: It wasn't that hard actually. I arrived at Ecruteak and didn't fight anything but Sudowoodo on the way. There, I decided to go beating the Eeveelutions first. Probably a wrong decision, I got Surf, but also a lot of levels there. After beating my rival and the gym trainers, Horsea was at level 30, still obeying. So I could beat Morty's Gastly and Haunter, and right when the Gengar comes into the game, Horsea reached level 31, started to disobey, and got beaten, most of the time by Hypnosis+Dream Eater combo. But with some obeyance luck and a Hypnosis miss, I could beat Gengar and my obeyance luck continued, so the last Haunter did also fall soon. Horsea reached level 32 after beating it and has now evolved into Seadra.

Next: Going to Chuck as soon as possible, he will be my source for complete obeyance. (except if Seadra gets to level 70 before Clair, but that's VERY unlikely, unlike level 50 before Chuck)


Team:

Poseidon / Seadra m Lv.32

I need to work on this moveset, Water Gun does nothing for me, and Twister is pretty useless too, Surf will still do more to anything else except for Dragons and 4x Water resisters, but I don't think there are any, Ludicolo doesn't exist yet.

Location: Pastoria

Got to Pastoria. After quite some time I finally succeeded in one of the most difficult parts of this challenge: getting a Yanma. Funny enough, when I finally managed to catch one, I got one with Modest nature and Compoundeyes ability (which will change to Tinted Lens when evolving), so I don't even have to breed.
Also caught a Tropius in there, which will be used - don't expect anything surprising - as HM Slave.
Next: Dragon stuff (Chuck). Then: Leveling and evolving Yanma and beating Wake. Oh, and I still don't have nicknames for Scyther and Yanma...

Team:

Kricket / Kricketune m Lv.46 @ /
Naughty Nature / Swarm
- Sing
- Rock Smash
- X-Scissor
- Night Slash
Yes, I had some double battles on the way, I did this restaurant thingy, but mainly for some easy Scyther Exp. Probably should have waited for Yanma.

Scyther / Scyther f Lv.37 @ Fist Plate
Naughty Nature / Technician
- Brick Break
- Pursuit
- Slash
- Aerial Ace
Aerial Ace>Wing Attack because Double Team is more common than PP outage

Yanma / Yanma f Lv.26 @ /
Modest Nature / Compoundeyes
- Double Team
- Sonic Boom
- Detect
- Supersonic
I need to give this thing some TMs, the current moveset is truly horrible.


- - -

Dragon mini Update: Beat Chuck. First attempt, but the battle was pretty close, Seadra had something like 7 HP left at the end. Level is now 35 and the moveset did not change.

Yea, so the team is not turning out the way I wanted to in the first place, but hey - It's lookin' decent. And if there's one thing I love about this challenge, it's assembling an interesting team with Pokémon, you're not used to. And that's what I'm trying to do. Anyway, on my way to Snowpoint City, I finally caught mysellf a Snover, and while looking for a Pikachu in the Trophy Garden, (to get some Heart Scales from the newspaper, which I need for the move relearner) I found several Roselia and I eventually thought to myself: "Hell.. Why not?", and now my final team is gonna have a Roserade, too. Now I just have to grind all my Pokés up to level 55 before challenging Candice.

Here's my team:

"image removed"Torterra, lv. 55
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*Wormadam, lv. 52
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*Leafeon, lv. 54
"image removed"Roselia, lv. 22
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*Tangrowth, lv. 51
"image removed"Snover, lv. 36

I'm kinda in a hurry right now, so I don't have the time to add movesets. That'll have to wait 'till my next update.

Location: Canalave

Cleared most of the route between Hearthome and Pastoria to level and evolve Yanma, only left the swamp area out. Beat Wake, he was pretty hard because the Quagsire knows Rock Tomb and Gyarados is a pain in general. Did story progress up to Celestic. Beat Cyrus, since his whole team is weak to Rock, Yanmega had no problems. Got Surf HM and beat Byron in Canalave. Scyther dominated most of this gym with Brick Break, so the level gap between it and Yanmega which finally seemed to get smaller, is huge again now. The only stuff that caused problems here were the Steelixes, because of their monstrous defense Scyther couldn't touch them, so my best bet against them was Yanmega's Silver Wind (Tinted Lens FTW). Byron's Steelix caused the most trouble of them all, it froze Yanmega with Ice Fang, but luckily it thawed up two rounds later and in the end Yanmega won with 10 HP left.

Next: Dragon stuff. I think I'll first do the whole Jasmine quest (yes, I beat Chuck before climbing up the Lighthouse), then the Mahagony stuff.



Team:

Kricket / Kricketune m Lv.46 @ /
Naughty Nature / Swarm
- Sing
- Rock Smash

I think I'll just keep Rock Smash, since I'm not going to use Kricketune much more anyways.

Stryke / Scyther f Lv.46 @ Fist Plate
Naughty Nature / Technician
- Brick Break
- Night Slash
- X Scissor
- Aerial Ace
Why doesn't Scyther get stuff like Bug Bite (i mean by another way than a stupid move tutor availiable after the Elite 4) or Faint Attack (it's a ninja bug, so why no sneaky moves)?
The nickname is Scyther's beta name, another proof of how uncreative I am.

Anisoptera / Yanmega f Lv.39 @ /
Modest Nature / Tinted Lens
- Uproar
- Shadow Ball
- Ancient Power
- Silver Wind
More uncreativity shows up, since this name is from Wikipedia

Winding down in emerald, preparing for the final charge.....
-Went through V. Road, oddly enough, Wally's Gardevoir kept using Double Team....
I did the rest in one go, emerging battred, bloodied, and exhausted, nearly out of PP, but, not as hard as Victory Road normally is...
-Spent my immense fortune on items
-Decided to Breed my two Blobs, resulting in their Demon-Gulpin spawn, Heathen, who will be present for the E4 with experience share
-Prepared for E4..........
CHARGE!!!!!

THE ELITE 4

Sidney*bulbagarden.net image removed*
-Not too difficult, only Absol even got a KO thanks to Swords dance....Phoebe worries me.

Phoebe*bulbagarden.net image removed*
-No problem, she couldn't do enough raw damage to be a threat, she could only irk me with Grudge and Curse.

Glacia*bulbagarden.net image removed*
-Another one falls to the poison juggernaut...But Walerein got a suprise Sheer Cold on Lilith...Heh

Drake*bulbagarden.net image removed*
-Not too bad either, Ice Beam beasted Salemence and Kingdra lost to Hedorah easy...
-Here I healed PP and used my rare candies

CHAMPION
Wallace *bulbagarden.net image removed*
https://www.pokecommunity.com/wiki/File:E_Drake.png-Actually a pretty tough fight, Wailord's immense health, Milotic's Hax Luck,Tentacruel's godliness, and constant Full restores made this tough, Elizabeth really shown against his all Male team...

[raekuul]

Who said that flash was useless?

No, I didn't get a record of the final battle screen, will this do?

Skye the Gyarados. Final Moveset:
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Dragon Rage
Surf

Was indispensable against Lorelei and Lance, for obvious reasons.

Grey Eagle the Pidgeot. Final Moveset:

Sky Attack
Fly
Quick Attack
Wing Attack

My first and best, Grey Eagle was always there to bail me out when I needed it most. I only had one revive going in to Lance and had to revive Skye, so Grey Eagle didn't get to really fight in the Elite Four. Shame, that - I could have had Blaster at full health going into Alakazam if Grey Eagle hadn't been KO'd.

Chitose the Crobat Golbat. Final Moveset:

Haze
Confuse Ray
Wing Attack
Bide

What good was bide? It finished a number of hard battles that Grey Eagle didn't survive. Maybe not the best choice to give it to a freshly caught Zubat, but Chii-chan and me both saw it through to the end. She didn't disappoint.

Blaster the Charizard. Final Moveset:

Swords Dance
Cut
Slash
Flamethrower

It was Blaster that dealt the final blow, but I'll discuss that later. This rowdy fire type was my physical sweeper, and boy did he sweep. No psychic type could stand for long against him. Until he learned Flamethrower, he had Counter. Between him and Chitose, it was dangerous at best to make contact with my team members. Fun Fact: Slash does NOT benefit from Swords Dance in First Generation.

Deathscale the Butterfree. Final Moveset:

Poisonpowder
Confusion
Psybeam
Flash

Blaster may have dealt the final blow, but he would have fallen to a thunder. Enter the Monday-to-Friday MVP of the team, Deathscale. I got extremely lucky that Blue's Jolteon didn't land a hit with Thunder until after I'd scored a poison powder and six flashes. Not only did Deathscale save Blaster's metaphorical butt in that final match, but Deathscale, like Skye, effectively killed two of the elite four - Bruno and Agatha.

WHO SAID FLASH WAS USELESS?

 

[mattman324]

Tyson has a high special attack? I must have been spending too much time without the Cyndaquil Family, I thought all the fire-typed starters did better with physical attacks than special attacks. I know for a fact that Blaster is that way.

Oh yeah right.

CHARIZARD: Bias towards Special. Does get SD and BD though.
TYPHLOSION: MASSIVE bias towards Special.
BLAZEKIN: Slight bias towards Physical.
INFERNAPE: Slight bias towards Physical.
