...I like it. Who wants a Chellange? ;)

[Axmaster68]

Well I'm still waiting for more, IAR. Rules are on page 85 or 86.

Also, I'm really liking a lot of these challanges, guys (though I really don't want to do too much soloing).

The spelling was finally corrected, duh.

[Jimera0]

errrr I don't think so IAR. Challange is one thing, but Chellange? Good god that just looks silly. I like Challange since that's the tradition of this thread. I see no reason to change it now just because one mod mucked up (or decided to troll).

And Treadshot, it's not fault everyone started copying me :P

And as for my update... I honestly don't know when I'll get it out since I'm totally addicted to Skyrim right now. I'll see if I can't get it out in the next couple days though.

Do you remember that evil Caterpie Challange that has been nominated before? Well, you are getting that one :D

No matter what you choose, good luck and have fun!!!

[GrassBlade]

Lol the title. Also, if you pick Very Hard for KS's challange, make sure to bribe people so you won't get Vanguard. Finally, for ease of reference/ competition, here's my finished challange:

Take No Death the Magnemite:
No Death hates Vanguard. So, if one of your teammates dies, it must come in and revenge the teammate or die trying. (Non-solos) If it is a solo, you must switch No Death and only No Death and use him as heal fodder. If your whole team is fully healed, he may then switch out for the soloing pokemon. To evolve, he must solo a gym(No leader). Now, he has not changed much (Same Restricitions). He still hates Vanguard though, so if you ever have to get somewhere, and you can, you must fly. Also, he may be a special attacker or a physical attacker, but not both. Status moves are ok. Finally, you may evolve him fully if you chose so, but to be allowed to evolve him, he must revenge 10 teammates and help at 2 solos. <= May be accumulated.

[Professor Science]

I agree with Jimera0. I want awesome challanges, not gay chellanges.

Edit: No offence to gay people, just trying to emphasise.

[Axmaster68]

Hey KS, I require all pokemon be able to evolve fully. Also, lol at the asian part :D\

Nice work guys, less than 1 day left now. KEEP 'EM COMIN'!!

[King Serperior]

^Who said that you cannot evolve the Koffing then give it the Everstone???

I didn't....

[Axmaster68]

Hey Scramblers!

I'm here to explain why I suddenly disapeared

I got promoted in my job, and let's say that I have time to breath only. Because now I litterally go directly form job to college and then to bed just to restart the cicle in the other day.

That means what? Means that I'm don't play pokémon since my last update. The only moments I have to rest, I do like a Snorlax... or eating or sleeping. The only thing i could do here in smogon was to keep my prediction challenges in football updated, and that I usually do on my lunch time =/

I have the intention to finish my platinum scramble in my vacation. I just don't know when I'll have a vacation lol.

So, that's it.=D

[King Serperior]

^so that explains it :)

Glad you have returned!!

[Axmaster68]

Glad you have come back, and hope to see more of your Platinum updates soon!

Also, if you're interested, go ahead and read mine! I got up to Chapter 7 of my SS Scramble while you were gone.

[Professor Science]

Axmaster, take TotalWin the Gastly. Yeah, TotalWin is obsessed with success, and must prove himself to be the best at everything. So, complete these tasks with TotalWin (in no particular order):
-Solo a Johto Gym Leader to evolve into Haunter
-Win the Bug Catching Contest 3 times
-Use TotalWin and two other pokes of your choice to win a Pokeathlon of the highest level
-Solo Team Rocket Executive Archer in the Radio Tower to evolve into Gengar
-Solo (or catch) Lugia using only TotalWin
-Solo Lance's strongest Dragonite
-Win 7 Battle Tower Singles battles in a row using only TotalWin
-Solo a Kanto Gym Leader
-Solo Red's Pikachu

Yes this will be difficult but I judge you capable of doing it.

[waterwarrior]

Still working on Thu'um Ax, sorry I have no time to work on this stuff. I promise new episode will be out soon, but I'm pretty this week...

Oh, and of course, glad to have you back BrazilianGuy.

EDIT: @ax, since you are probably going to decide the 6 you are taking before/on page 90, nominate all you take (and some runners-up if there are any) for Most Creative Challenge. I'll allow it, even though it is THAT close.

A1 EDIT: the super awesome completely freaking impossible Challange

...

---

Take Vanguard. You are not allowed to choose Easy Mode, you must take Vanguard in its most difficult form. The catch is that this isn't really Vanguard at all. This is Vanguard's even more evil counterpart, Barrier. Each time you fail Vanguard's restrictions, you'd have one pokemon killed. But for Barrier, you don't kill one Pokemon. You kill two. And Barrier won't die from his own restriction until there is no other choice, so if you fail twice (leaving you at two Pokemon), and then fail another time, you lose your final two Pokemon. And you game over. And you die. And you must restart your entire Scramble.

No matter what you choose, good luck and have fun!!!

Aside from the fact I'm slightly offended since I'm Asian, I'm also slightly offended by the fact someone could think there's a worse thing than a Treadshot Challange.

So I fixed your Challange, KS. Now, it's ready for Axmaster to try. I dare you to take Barrier. I da ya. :)

Also, I think Barrier should be up for voting as well, so I nominate him. As he is even worse than Vanguard. :)

[waterwarrior]

Treadshot, I'm going to have to reject the nomination of Barrier. Yes, its worse than Vanguard, but the only difference between the two is one word, from losing one Pokemon to two.

@GrassBlade, Vanguard ALREADY did that. I rejected it because Barrier has the same restrictions as Vanguard, with a VERY slight differentiation.

@below Treadshot
...

...
...
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

[GrassBlade]

I agree with water warrior. To be honest, didn't we agree on no killing other scramblers' pokemon? If we start using those challanges, then people who catch on like Gamer40000 can just make it so that throwing away someone else's pokemon would be better, resulting in a Worst Case Scenario if it ever happened. Gees, some people even expressed their displeasure by trying to protect their mon.

[Treadshot A1]

Sorry Waterwarrior, I should have made it more clear tha it was being sarcastic about Barrier's nomination. Its not meant to really be nominated. Vanguard will sweep the votes anyways. :)

And yes, normally killing other Pokemon is frowned upon. But in Vanguard's case, it was made to be insane, and hence it broke a few of the unspoken rules we have around here to make it that much harder. If it catches on, we will start having to enforce the rules. But since it's just Vanguard, it's okay so far.

[Professor Science]

Hey guys it's time for Chapter 8 of my Soulsilver Scramble Challange. I must put a disclaimer on this one: it is very, very long.

Chapter 8: The Dragon Tamers

...

---

Well now it's time for Chapter 8! I'd better go to Goldenrod City and exorcise Team Rocket. OH NO GRUNTS ARE ERRYWHERE WHAT I DO????? Well, pretend to be a Grunt to infiltrate the Radio Tower, of course!… Yes it works!… AH THE REDHEAD HE MUST DIE!!! WHAT YOU TOLD HIM I WASN'T REALY A MEMBER OH TEAM ROCKET YOU BASTARD!! Oh it doesn't matter anyway, I'mADoctor easily handled the grunt. Time to go upstairs… Lol at grunt with 5 Rattata… Oh Mum it's nice of you to call me and all but I'm kinda infiltrating an evil mob's temporary base… Oh hai Director, you're supporting Team Rocket? Well you'd like us to think so except ACTUALLY you're Petrel! Now as per restrictions, Starter has to solo him.

So the battle starts, Starter vs. the first of many Koffings. Starter OHKO's with a Lava Plume. This looks to be an easy battle. He then sends out his one and only Weezing. Starter gets it into the low yellow with a Lava Plume, while he fishes for hax by smothering Starter with a Smokescreen. But the effort is futile, and Weezing faints to another Lava Plume. Next Koffing ---> OHKO'd. Another Koffing: Lava Plume MISSES (hax) and he uses Smokescreen AGAIN (double hax). Then, Lava Plume OHKO's. Next Koffing ---> OHKO'd. Final Koffing: "What am I losing?" Yes, Petrel. Yes you are. OHKO. Well that was an easy but annoying battle.

For some reason, Petrel tells me where the real Director is, and gives me the Basement Key so I can rescue him (wtf? Whose side is he on??) Anyway, time to head underground! Oh hai random Kimono girl! What? A Legendary pokemon??? Oh sweet, I wonder what it is?? So I got into the basement with the Key, when THAT REDHEAD SHOWS UP. FIGHT ME, LOSER!!

Well finally he agrees to battle me. I send out Triforce, he releases Golbat. Triforce goes for the Rock Tomb, which MISSES, while he uses Air Cutter for serious damage. Well Triforce is no good in this state so I send in I'mADoctor, who gets hit for minimal damage by Air Cuter. Air Slashbrings it to 50% hp, and he trolls with Confuse Ray. I'mADoctor hurts itself, and Golbat bites my owl. I'mADoctor then avoids the confusion hax and KOs. He sends in Magnemite, and I send in DUMBO. I start with a Rock Polish, and he Sonicbooms. DUMBO Digs, OHKOing the floating magnet. He sends in Feraligatr, I send in Triforce again. I heal up with a Moomoo Milk and he uses Thrash for ~30% HP. Triforce Headbutts for about the same damage, getting a flinch. Triforce Headbutts again, and Feraligatr Thrashes. He then Thrashes, not realising his grave mistake- Triforce has Counter! The crocodile is KO'd, and Triforce goes up a level, learning the best move in its arsenal- Close Combat!!!!! I put it over Take Down (I never use it anyway, and the flinchhax from Headbutt is nice) He sends in his Haunter, and I use I'mADoctor again. I use Air Slash, bringing it to the red, and it uses Mean Look. lol. Air Slash for the KO. He sends in Sneasel, I use DUMBO. He uses Fury swipes, doing only 2 damage each time, and DUMBO uses Rock Polish. It wasn't enough though, as Sneasel outspend and used Faint Attack, before DUMBO used Dig, avoiding Sneasel's next attack and bringing it to the red. Another futile Faint Attack from Sneasel, before getting crushed with DUMBO's metal body in a colossal Dig. Prof wins AGAIN!! (being awesome never gets old)

Anyway he runs away crying and leaves me to beat up the grunts. *sigh* Yes grunts, using Selfdestruct at max HP is a good strategy… Ooh, I'mADoctor wants to learn Zen Headbutt. This could be good, I'll put it over Take Down… I easily complete the switch puzzle, with help from the internet!!… Oh, Titan's learning Double Team? I'll put it over Focus Energy- it could be useful for trolling. Oh hai there Director, Team Rocket's taken over your Radio Tower. Now give me the Card Key so I can beat them… Okay, opened the locked door and into the next section of the Radio Tower. Oh hai Archer, I'd better get Starter to solo you.

I start with Starter (obvs) and he sends out Golbat. Starter Lava Plumes, almost KO'ing it, while Golbat Confuse Ray's. Then I avoid hax and KO with Swift. He sends out his second and final pokemon, Weezing. Starter avoids confusion hax again and hits Weezing into the low red with Lava Plume, burning it. Weezing goes for a futile Smokescreen, and is KO'd by its burn. Wow, that was even easier than Petrel!! Up to the next floor, and lo and behold, it's that REDHEAD'S mum, Ariana!! Starter, END HER!!!!!

She sends out Arbok, hitting Starter with Intimidate (not like it matters.) Starter brings it to the red with Lava Plume, getting a burn, while Arbok paralyses Starter with Glare. I use a Full Heal on Starter, and Arbok hits with a weak Crunch and is KO'd by the burn. Ariana sends out Vileplume, to it's doom. OHKO!!!! She sends out her final pokemon, a Murkrow. Starter launches a powerful burst of flame, instantly incinerating the bird with a legendary Lava Plume. Now to go up the elevator to the Observation Deck. And there's the leader of Team Rocket, Executive Archer, staring at a metal beam. Fail, Gamefreak. Anyway, after rambling on about Team Rocket's plans, he challenges me to a battle. It's showtime!

He starts with Houndour, and I go for Starter again. Starter launches a Focus Blast, but it misses (despite the Wide Lens), and Houndour hits with a weak Faint Attack. Then, Focus Blast hits and OHKO's the puppy. Archer sends out his MVP, Houndoom. Starter's Focus Blast vaporises it, easily OHKOing. He sends in his final pokemon, Koffing. Starter knows what to do here- an awesome Lava Plume OHKOs. Easiest battle yet! Then Srcher gets depressed and disbands Team Rocket, and presumably runs home and cries. Then the real Director showed up and gave me an item very important to the plot- a Silver Wing™. Anyway, time to do some more stuff!

I fly back to Mahogany Town, and the Rage Candy Bar guy will let me through now… Wow, I know I was expecting it but Triforce can OHKO practically anything now with Close Combat, although the low PP is annoying. His bulk and speed aren't half bad either. I may or may not use a PP Up / Max… And onwards to Ice Path!… Yeah, HM07 Waterfall! I'll never use it!!… God the Strength puzzle is annoying… AARGH SO MANY WILD SWINUBS…. Oh hai Kimono Girl, you recognise me? Sweet, you never did any other time! "Will you push me along on the ice?" Well it's the only way you'll let me leave, so I guess so. And finally I arrive at… BLACKTHORN CITY!!!!!! Oh, you know how I said last chapter I might evolve Titan? Well, I lied. *trollface* Anyway, it's time for some grinding in preparation for Thirsty's solo of Clair! Oh, Thirsty, you want to learn Gyro Ball? Well, I guess so, since Rollout is completely useless (x4 super effective Rollout on the first use is still weaker than Body Slam) and it could be cool when she paralysed, so okay! Now, I think you're ready to take on the gym! (Lol one trainer in the gym talks about how he likes strong pokemon. He sends out a Horsea.) Anyway, Clair, you're going down. Remember, Thirsty has to use Milk Drink a number of times equalling the number of pokemon she has on her team, so 4 times.

I send out Thirsty, she sends out Gyarados. I know I won't stand a chance with the attack drop, so I switch out to DUMBO, who takes a Dragon Rage. Thirsty comes back in and takes another dose of Dragon Rage abuse. Thirsty's Body Slam doesn't even bring it to 50% hp. This looks bad. I have Thirsty use Milk Drink (1/4), and Gyarados continues spamming. A second Body Slam paralyses, Gyarados doesn't know how to do anything but use Dragon Rage. She uses up a Hyper potion, and Thirsty uses Milk Drink again (2/4). Hmm, I wonder if this'll work… I go for the Para-Flinch strategy, using Zen Headbutt and getting a crit. No other hax prevails, and Gyarados does the same thing AGAIN. Another Zen Headbutt from Thirsty fails to hax, and more Dragon Rage. A Milk Drink heals Thirsty (3/4) and Gyarados is fully paralysed. (Yay!!) A fourth Zen Headbutt brings it to ~1 HP remaining (aw hax!), doesn't flinch/paralyze, and Gyarados does-you know what. Another Milk drink fulfils Thirsty's requirements (4/4) and Gyarados… Dragon Rages. Thirsty FINALLY Body Slams for the KO. Clair sends out a Dragonair, which one I don't know. Thirsty Body Slams, getting Paralysis, and Dragonair inflicts it too with Thunder Wave. A second Body Slam KO's it (so easy in comparison.) She sends in Kingdra, and I switch to I'mADoctor as heal fodder (mainly for the paralysis.) After fully healing Thirsty and having I'mADoctor take two Hydro Pumps, I switch my cow back in, getting hit by a ridiculously powerful Hydro Pump. Thirsty Milk Drinks, and gets Hyro Pump'd again. Another heal and Kingdra uses Dragon Pulse. Once again, Thirsty heals itself, and it hit by Kingdra's Hydro pump again. Fortunately it is out of PP now. Another Milk Drink, and Dragon Pulse. Then Milk Drink, and HYPER BEAM!!! I use Thirsty's final Milk Drink during the recharge turn (as per restrictions). Now, go Body Slam! But now, Kingdra decides to use Smokescreen. Another Body Slam brings Kingdra into the yellow, activating it's Sitrus Berry. Another Body Slam from Thirsty Paralyses, and Kingdra uses Hyper Beam. A Body Slam brings it into the red. (I would have had to use Milk Drink now, but no PP left :p) Then, Body Slam FINALLY KO's that thing. She sends in her final Dragonair. A Body Slam brings it to the yellow, while paralysing it. It fails to do anything because of the total paralysis. Thirsty then jumps into the air, does a somersault and slams its full weight into Dragonair, KOing it. The battle is won by Prof!!!!… Whoo, that was the hardest badge so far.

Well Clair refuses to give me my badge and TM, since "I'm not worthy." BITCH I BEAT YOU, DEAL WITH IT. (Also: is she related to Whitney?) Ah screw it, I guess I'll go to the Dragon's Den…. OH CRAP I DON'T HAVE A POKEMON THAT CAN LEARN WHIRLPOOL AND ALL MY POKEMON ARE TOO HIGH A LEVEL TO CATCH ONE!!!! But I can work around that. Luckily, Triforce has Counter, which should prevent them from hurting themselves too much. So yeah, I caught Tadpole the Poliwag, now I can get there… Oh hai Dragon Master, you want to quiz me? Haha, just for the lols, I'm gonna answer all the wrong questions! "What are pokemon to you?" ---> JUNIOR. Wait, you won't let me choose that as an option? Fine… Ally, I guess. "What helps youth win battles?" Cheating! Aw, come on, you can't hear me? Fine, I'll do the quiz properly now… Okay done, and enter Clair!.. Lol, she failed the test even though the dude will pretend not to hear if you say the wrong answer. ANyway, yeah she admitted defeat, and I get the Rising Badge WOOOOOOOOOOO Also Clair ran away and the Master told me about Lugia. Sweet, imma go there later. Oh hai Professor Elm, you want to see me at the lab later? Hokay, but first, I have to claim my ™ from Clair. Hmm, Dragon Pulse. Since I have to teach DUMBO a Special move over Sandstorm, I'll give her this. It'll help with her coverage issues (albeit with a terrible Special Attack stat) and should be immensely helpful in the Lance solo. But that'll come later. Chapter 8 end!

Pokemon on team: 6
Gym Badges: 8
Blackouts: 0
Times failed a restriction: 6 (yessss none this chapter)

(Pokemon ranked from MVP to LVP)


Starter the Typhlosion
Lvl 39
-Lava Plume
-Focus Blast
-Swift
-Quick Attack

Solo Falkner or Bugsy (COMPLETE)
Solo Morty or Pryce (COMPLETE)
Solo all Rocket Executives in the Radio Tower (COMPLETE)
Solo Brock or Misty (IMCOMPLETE)
Solo Blaine or Blue (INCOMPLETE)

Starter was legendary this chapter, practically OHKOing all the Team Rocket Executives (although maybe that's because they suck.) Regardless, Starter is a boss who has great speed, power and perfect neutral coverage on everything in the game. Just really, really great.


Thirsty the Miltank
Lvl 41
-Body Slam
-Zen Headbutt
-Gyro Ball
-Milk Drink

Solo one gym leader, using Milk Drink as many times as the leader has pokemon (COMPLETE)[Clair]

Thirsty has been, and likely always will be, an extremely good member of the team. However, she fell a bit this chapter simply because of how much she strungled against Clair. Keep in mind that I was only using Milk Drink when she was under 50% HP- yeah, it was a lot. She doesn't take strong Special attacks too well. But apart from that, still as amazing as ever.


Triforce the Heracross
Lvl 38
-Close Combat
-Headbutt
-Counter
-Rock Tomb

Solo 25 flying types (COMPLETE)
Solo Morty (COMPLETE)

Triforce turned from "meh" to "EPIC!!!!!" with a single move. Close Combat changes everything. He can now OHKO basically anything unresisted, which is… amazing. To be honest though, the PP is a big letdown, but whatever, CLOSE COMBAT IS THE BEST THING EVAR!!!


I'mADoctor the Noctowl
Lvl 38
-Air Slash
-Roost
-Zen Headbutt
-Hypnosis

Solo Chuck (COMPLETE)
Solo an E4 member the first time (INCOMPLETE)
Solo a different E4 member the second time (INCOMPLETE)

I'mADoctor is still doing pretty well. She now has 2 moves for flinching, which is nice (although the coverage is pretty redundant), and still has Roost for awesome recovery and Hypnosis, but I barely use it since Air Slash 2HKOs most anything and it's poor accuracy. Still chugging along.


Titan the Scyther
Lvl 38
-Wing Attack
-Double Team
-Swords Dance
-Agility

Tank 20 super effective hits (COMPLETE)
Tank 2 super effective hits in a row (COMPLETE)

And the giant falls! She was my MVP for so long, and now she's only in 5th place? What is wrong with the world?? Seriously though, Titan's poor bulk doesn't cut it when matched against other pokemon her level, as I found inside Blackthorn Gym. Neither does non-Technician Wing Attack, even after a Swords Dance sometimes.


DUMBO the Steelix
Lvl 38
-Harden
-Dig
-Rock Polish
-Dragon Pulse

Solo Jasmine’s Steelix (COMPLETE)
Solo Lance (INCOMPLETE)

DUMBO struggles with poor coverage and lacklustre attack stat still. I have yet to try out Dragon Pulse, but I doubt it'll help much. One problem I found is that DUMBO has trouble taking super effective special attacks. I am having serious doubts about the battle vs Lance.

[luigiowns]

My three challenges for you are up, Ax. Go back to my post and check them out :)
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...postcount=2146

[Axmaster68]

Okay you guys, great work! I've decided, with all these creative challanges, to extend the date until 10:00 PM GMT -6 tonight!! You guys have given me lots of great challanges, but I'd like to see more from you guys! Great work!

[waterwarrior]

Thu'um is DONE!!!

I'll be using this post as a base point if I get a stroke of creativity before the deadline is up.

[Professor Science]

Okay Axmaster, another challange coming your way. Take Messiah the Mareep. Messiah is the son of God (read: Arceus) and is effectively the Jesus of the pokemon world.
When Messiah was born, he was pursued by the evil agents of King Herod (aka Morty), and so must not battle any Ghost type. Secondly, Messiah was born and raised a carpenter, and to prove its skills Messiah must solo the Sudowoodo. Then, Messiah learns that evil King Herod is nearby, so Messiah must make him pay for his misdeeds by soloing him (restriction is lifted henceforth). After completing this, Messiah may evolve.

Now, Messiah starts being a prophet, so gather him some disciples. Messiah must catch them all:

Andrew- no restrictions
Peter- catch while fishing (fisherman)
James Z- catch while fishing (fisherman)
John- catch while fishing (fisherman)
Philip- catch while fishing (fisherman)
Bartholomew- no restrictions
Matthew- must be a Meowth (former tax collector)
Thomas- must be used as heal fodder for Messiah once (willing to risk his life)
James A- no restrictions
Thaddeus- no restrictions
Simon- must learn Future Sight (saw a vision)
Judas- must be in party when Messiah is KO'd once. (the betrayer)

After getting all of his disciples, Messiah starts preaching. He must not harm innocent people, so Messiah may never KO a wild pokemon. He heals the blind, sick and even the dead. So, Messiah is the only team member that can be used as heal fodder (except Thomas, see above). Use Messiah as heal fodder for HP healing 15 time, status healing 5 times and Revive healing 3 times. After this, Messiah may evolve into Ampharos.

Now, Messiah must get rid of (or convert) all the false messiahs, i.e. Sons of Arceus. So, have Messiah solo or catch every legendary pokemon (unless it conflicts with another restriction). Support for Messiah grows, but he gets the attention of the Romans. Pontius Pilate (aka Brock) has him brought in for judgement. So, have Messiah solo Brock, but you only get one attempt and no revives or healing items. If Messiah wins, then Pontius Pilate lets him go free, and Messiah has no further restrictions. However, if he fails, then Pontius Pilate has him crucified on top of a hill. Which hill you ask? Why, Mt. Silver of course! Messiah must lead the party through the mountain. When Messiah gets to the top, he sees the people who are to crucify him- Red's pokemon. But Messiah won't go down without a fight!! Have him solo as many of Red's pokemon as possible, one of which must be his Venusaur and taking a Frenzy Plant from it (crown of thorns). If Messiah solos Red, then he's free with no further restrictions. But if he doesn't solo Red, then he gets crucified. He is no dead, and you cannot use him for 3 days (in real life). Then, he gets resurrected and gets to live again! He returns to your team for another 3 days in real life, during which time he must continue his good work. Then, (if your challange isn't finished by now) he goes to heaven and promises to return some day... Maybe in another challange!

(I really hope you're Christian / familiar with the bible stories, just for the sake of this challange.) Have fun!
