Obvious one, but seriously, just beating what you know is the final boss of your first pokemon game, more specifically for me though, looking up Yanma's stats and relation to other pokemon afterwards! I think it was better beating Evice for me, because for whatever reason I thought you HAD to purify every shadow pokemon before beating him! After snagging the Grumpig, Absol, Mightyena, [Clueless, something like Tropius?] and Metagross(? they're probably wrong, not in the mood to research them) that you have to snag in the realgam colosseum, and it doesn't give you a chance to go back and heal (etc.) I was immediately beaten by Evice so I was sure my theory was right. I thought that Nintendo would have some chart or something of best and worst pokemon, so I went in with a team of the pokemon snagged in Realgam tower, but I didn't like houndoom's deisgn, and thought Metagross looked to OP :P, so I went in with Sunflora and Delibird out first (it gets better), Miltank, Tropius, Absol and Heracross! After leveling through the colosseum about 5 times, I still couldn't beat Evice with this team of practically 4 (Delibird and Sunflora were outsped and OHKO'd first turn) so I battled to about half past 9 in Mt. Battle (come on, I was 6 at the time, it's pretty late) training up and evolving the first pokemon you get, thinking it was some kind of backwards scale, so I went in there with a team of Espeon, Umbreon, Makuhita, Feraligatr, because I didn't want to pick out of the battle square, so I just went with Furret and Yanma. Yanma was my saviour. Nothing else could take down Slowking, and it ended up 1 vs 1 at the end, Yanma vs Slowking. Yanma's silver wind got the boost twice, meaning that he was fairly bulky, very strong and quick! Just looking up that he is one of the worst pokemon in existence afterwards just filled me with joy!
