BURMA!!!
Default DM's Platinum Scamble Update 1

Well, I've successfully defeated Roark, so I figured it was about time for an update (fyi I'll be updating after each Gym Battle).
As I started off this challenge, I thought to myself, "Hey, this isn't so hard!" Now, after my first badge...
...nope.
Stuff finally happens

Team

I'll try to get up the next update ASAP, but I haven't done anything new yet, so it might be a while.

I just thought about something. For my Starly, what is Return's base power? The site lists its power as 1, so unless I'm told otherwise I'll go with that.

Return's base power increases with happiness. At max happiness it is a base power of 102 (I think).

Alright everyone, I have great, breaking news!

Episode 1 of my Hard Emerald Scramble is out and up on Youtube!

Link here.
If you want more details on the scramble click on the relevant link in my signature!

Man this ended up taking a LOOOONG time to put out. Seemed like I was plagued by trouble at every turn. But I finally managed to get it all working and put it all together today, resulting in what I think is decent first video in the series. There's a few things I intend to improve in the next video, but I'm still getting used to the software (and also adjusting to the new, cut heavy style I'm using) so please excuse any hiccups. Hopefully the videos will improve with every new one I put out. Constructive criticism is encouraged, but do try to be nice!

I intend to keep a more or less weekly schedule, so expect to see the next episode out around this time next week. And don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you want to make sure you don't miss any installments!

And of course, thanks everyone for waiting so patiently while I worked out all the technical issues I had to deal with! I'm lucky to have people like you for my audience.

I know, but I have no way of measuring Return's power unless Happiness is maxed.

Reserving for Bard of Rage ~(^.^)~

Funny thing about me, I always try to make Challanges harder by disallowing STAB. And it gets kinda boring.

So, take STABartist the Carnivine.

Your restrictions are:

STABartist can only use STAB moves.
STABartist must solo an Elite Four of its choice.

Oh, and because I want to win something at the Scramble Awards:

STABartist is literally a stereotypical "starving artist". So, it is extremely hungry and must always hold a berry. In addition, its malnutrition has left it weak and unable to process data stored in TMs and HMs. So, it can only use level-up moves.

GL;HF >:)

Bard of Rage, then you better not use return.
Starly's come with a high base happiness, and happiness increases really fast over time. So just keep it at 102, it will be too high a base power at your level anyway. You will reach max happiness around level 20, which is way too low for a base 102 move.

So no return for starly this time around.

UllarWarlord, keep it up! Both your Diamond and the White Tree Hollow!

You too, Jimera, with your Emerald scramble! I just now subscribed to you on YouTube!

KS, take whatever you meet on Route 30 and name it after me.

I've not posted for a while because I'm dreading the next bit of my Scramble. I got through the E4 and now I'm meant to be facing the Champion but I've messed up a little bit. I had to solo two of the members with Scyther, and I intended for them to be Koga and Bruno. Koga wasn't a problem but Bruno's Onix was a step too far. I'd do about 3% damage with Wing Attack and then it would OHKO me with Rock Slide. So I had to give up on the Bruno solo and solo Karen instead, who I was planning on soloing with Meganium. So I did that, although her Houndoom presented a few problems.

Now I have to solo Lance with an underlevelled Meganium. Level 47. With Magical Leaf and Poisonpowder. Against three Dragonites. I'm terrified.

Level 51, I'll give you Area 51, the Elgyem. Elgyem is nostalgic for outer space and its home planet: a world on which it could learn eight moves at a time. To replicate this, every time you challenge a gym, you have to dramatically change Elgyem's moveset. These can be TMs, via move relearners or whatever else. If this isn't possible you have to leave Elgyem in your box along with two other pokémon from your team for the duration of that gym. You can learn these moves by level up between gyms as well. It can't relearn a TM that it had up to three gyms ago. So if you challenge the eighth gym, you can teach it a move that it had at gym five, for example.

The only other restriction is that you have to keep Miracle Eye at all times (so changing two other moves) and use it on each of Grimsley's pokémon. You don't have to solo them though.

Edit: Ok so mine was way too easy compared to the other ones you're getting. I'll add the following:

You can't evolve into Beheeyem.
You have to solo Ghetsis' Hydreigon without supereffective moves.
You can only heal Elgyem with Potions, nothing better. (Pokémon Centre is allowed until Treadshot's challenge makes it impossible.)

I'm gonna take a slot for level 51. Will edit when I get home so I don't have to type on an iPod >_>

EDIT: Since we already have 3 challanges after I reserved before I edited, you should just take those. I'm out of this one.

I'll reserve for level 51

Catch Special the Female Drilbur at Wellspring Cave. As soon as you catch Special you realize one thing. It looks incredibly weak. And indeed, your intuition seems to be correct. In fact, it is a really weak Drilbur. It cannot physically attack an opponent and is rather clumsy, so it can only use special attacks. (Yes, it will be able to learn exactly four moves!) It cannot use non-damaging or physical attacks, and must be learned the four moves she can learn as soon as possible
moves she can learn


It realizes you hate her for being weak and loses hope of ever being accepted by you, so it loses the inner strength to ever evolve. This means you will be stuck with her as a drilbur forever. The poor thing desperately tries to prove itself worthy by soloing one of the elite fours members. To train for her great deed of worthyness, see wants to solo all trainer owned drilbur and excadrill. Still not convinced that will be enough to prove her worth, she wants to train so much, that she may never be outside of the top 3 highest leveled team members on your team. It insists on never leaving your party as well.


Oh, if this is not up to TA1 difficulty, just let me know.
Restrictions are underlined as extra service

GL

PS: if you do not want to gather bp from the subway, you cannot learn said move and you will be left with only 3 usable moves.

Level 51, you get Blissey the first Audino you find in the Dreamyard, immediately after receiving the first badge. When you catch it, immediately save your game, and look at the minutes on your save. The ones digit tells you how many levels Blissey can level until the next gym is defeated. When you defeat a Gym Leader, immediately save, look at the minutes again, and again that tells you how many levels Blissey can gain until the next gym. After getting all eight gym badges, Blissey can level up an unlimited number of times.

For example:

You catch it, save, save time reads 1:13, you can level Blissey 3 levels. You defeat Brycen in the Icirrus Gym, you save, and your save file reads 5:27, you can level Blissey 7 levels.

Good luck!

Ok so just bought a copy of black 1 and after I trade off the Reshiram and Cobilion I found on there I will be looking for a scramble.

I want fun challenges that are interesting rather than tedious ones. Thanks.
Also putting the last Poke of my Crystal scramble out to whoever. Sick of waiting. Has to be post E4.

As for how that one is going. Just been going through with Haxman. Waiting for night time to get the exeggcute. And my odd egg hatched into Googoo the Smoochum.

Bugsy was damn hard. Had to get Haxman to 22 to get Synthesis. Beat Kakuna and Metapod without issue but had to Poisonpowder into Reflect into Synthesis spam to beat it.

Brammi, I had been looking to give you your last poke for your Crystal version, until I found out there was no way I could find out which pokemon are pre-elite four in Crystal. If you could give a list of the possible pokemon, it will be easier to give you that last poke.

edit: for your bw1 scramble, you get a poke which has the potential to be super easy or super hard, depending on your luck. Get ready to use RNG to find out how difficult yuor challenge is going to be. anywhere you see these brackets, rng between the numbers in between them: []

Catch the [1-5] Blitzle of level [8-13] you encounter on route 3. Name it Random!. It may evolve at level [27-40] after soloing [5-25] different trainers, while having used a maximum of [1-6] different moves on all of them in total. It has to solo [1-5] gym leaders, as well as [1-3] elite four members. It may have [1-4] damaging moves with a maximum bp including stab of [50-150]. Its moves must be of [1-4] different types. It must always be in the top[1-5] highest leveled pokemon in your party. Every [1-3] time it faints, you must throw out [5-100] times its level worth of items (resale price).

Have fun! Oh, editing in your rng'd numbers might be easy for us to see how lucky you exactly are.

Brammi, take Morello the Golett/Golurk. Morello has come straight from League of Legends to Pokemon, where he now feels the need to nerf everything even slightly overpowered to oblivion. Have him learn a moveset of:

-One move with a base power higher then 100, so he can smash overpowered sweepers.
-Move that applies a status condition, to gimp overpowered walls
-Move that reduces enemy stats, for those lucky overpowered pokemon only in need of a numbers change
-A move of your choice. Must either apply a status condition or reduce stats, your choice.

Finally, Morello must solo every pokemon currently in Smogon's OU and Uber tier, as they are clearly overpowered and must be nerfed. The relevant pokemon (the ones appearing in Black/White before you beat the game) are:

Excadrill
Ferrothorn
Genesect (lolz)
Haxorus
Hydreigon
Jellicent
Keldeo (lol)
Landorus
Reshiram
Terrakion
Thundurus
Volcalrona

Note that for optional legendaries, you DO NOT have to seek them out. But if you choose to fight them, Morello must solo. You can still catch them if you want though.

Have fun!
