Yeah, rotom is the coolest! And he's very important in any team. I will change my team especially for this battle. It's failling too may times to risk the title.
We'll schedule the battle for an hour like this one. At least auramaster and doom would be able to see it.
Anyone else wants to watch?

now that i see two people with rotoms, i just want to ask if you were given a ROTOM-A, and not just a ROTOM. this simple overlooked fact could have changed the outcome of alot of battles if you were intended to get the base form in UU and not a kitchen appliance on steroids. its really too late to change anything but this small fact only really dawned on me now :/

if the PM just said "rotom" then you could check by checking the list to see if the person who gave it to you was on the UU list or the OU list

Someone then sends in Torterra while I send in Faricimo, who was ready for Round whatever it was. This time, Torterra got the upper hand, dodging a Sing to KO with a combination of Leaf Storm & Earthquake.
I just realized Krickitune isn't part Flying :( I thought it was weird that Torterra could KO with Earthquake. Anyway, great job making it through Victory Road with a poor team, good luck in the Elite Four.

Kricketune had crappy defences, where Leaf Storm weakened it a lot, then Earthquake killed it...
Thank you for complimenting my uhhh...getting through Victory Road. :)

Anyway, I've decided to do another scramble, this time on Platinum. My plan is to complete all of the storyline, and then challenge the League after the national dex, with the final battle against Cynthia. As such, I can pretty much have anything, although I may have to step in if I notice everything can only be obtained after the national dex or something. I don't have any other restrictions I can think of at the moment. Hit me.

But I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, 1. Too hard in Pearl, & 2. Challenge post mentioned Hydro Pump...Thinking about it, maybe Hydro Cannon makes more sense than Hydro Pump...But meh.

Anyways, your challenge...Congratulations! You get a Drifloon! Name it Balloon & before your battle with Giratina, it must have this moveset:

-Stockpile: Stockpile
-De-Stock: Swallow/Spit Up
-Hit Me If You Can: Baton Pass/Protect/Double Team
-Special Bomb: Shadow Ball/Thunderbolt/Psychic

To evolve Drifloon, It must solo 2 Gym Leader Main Pokemon (The strongest Pokemon on the team).

Have fun! :)

Hydro cannon is only available post E4, so hydropump seemed like a suitable replacement

Anyways, you get Big Duo (a scyther), the second of the Bigs.

amazing story

Atheno gets BigWhoop, the Lapras. He happens to think he's god, and so has this superiority complex that forces him to land he finishing blow on every wild pokemon you encounter from the moment he is captured, because they are not worthy to be in His presence.

Oh, and he must know exactly one water type move.

I am going to go broke because of the repels I will have to buy after Lapras. Also, loving the way that Scizor has to solo Empoleon, despite the fact that it has only NVE moves. Anyway, thanks everyone. That's three, so I only need three more, and apparently I need to start off with Infernape, so that the rival has an Empoleon Scizor can solo in Victory Road.

Ok, just got online after some inactivity and.... holy *#$@ i missed a challenge request! Oh man i was looking forward to setting an ADV challenge...

Anyway, Atheno, time to take revenge on you for making me voltorb flip >:p (PS an adventure post will be coming soon, i just couldn't be pooped to write it). Lucky for you i'm in a bright and chirpy mood.

You get a Machoke, name it "Insomniac". He is a pokemon that despises sleeping and thinks it's for the weak. To prove this to the world, he must learn and keep Wake-up-slap, then use it on every sleeping pokemon he sees to "bring them to their senses". As the average worrier, the rest of his moveset must consist of another fighting type move, then two other attacking moves that have a different types to eachother. Once you beat the elite four, he secretly falls asleep inside his Poke Ball (yes, must be caught in a Poke Ball). Insomniac releases that sleep is actually good, in fact, he can't get enough of it! Now you must change he nickname to "Bulldozer", and learn the ResTalk combo ASAP, and then use it as his only battling stile. However Bulldozer still thinks that it is very unfair that the opponent may be asleep, let alone he can actually attack in his sleep! To counter this he must still keep Wake-Up-Slap. Because i'm nice, there will be no evolution restrictions.

Recap:
  • At first gets nickname "Insomniac". Must keep Wake-Up-Slap (In both stages)
  • Has another fighting move, two other moves of different types.
  • Must be caught in Poke Ball.
  • After Elite Four, is called "Bulldozer". Must learn ResTalk ASAP, must only attack through Restalk.

Good luck!

EDIT: chocolate-kipp, again because i'm feeling bright and chirpy, you may use Return on Hippopotas. Since it's power cap is 101 technically it has two numbers in 123(?). Since this is only at power cap, it can only learn it if it has max happiness. If it isn't at max happiness then well... you'll need a need a new move then ;p.

Lol. I knew I'd regret that. And Return is 102 base power, not 101, so you shouldn't have any problem at all.

That just leaves two, and just because people generally give starters for the last couple, remember I have to start with (although not necessarily keep) Chimchar (see above).

Hey Atheno, I see you have a lapras already, right? So this is my challenge: catch a slowpoke ASAP.
Why is it special? Slowbro is one of my favourite pokes. Because I'm a calm guy that slowpoke should be Calm. It has to learn ASAP calm mind and psychic (because I'm smart). He must also have slack off (lazy guy) on his moveset and can't have water type attacks (I'm not a water lover). I leave the last move for you to choose.
Also zdrup15 the slowbro has to begin every double battle you find with your lapras and defeat it before attacking any opponent because lapras is his biggest opponent. Just to prove lapras who's the best!xD
I'll ask for a scramble in 5 or 6 hours so you can have your revenge.

@Atheno, I'll give you Chimchar, named Derago. It can only know Physical moves, or only know Special moves and Scratch, your choice. To change which one you picked, black out against a gym leader with Derago on your team.

Also, you aren't just a trainer. You're also a government agent of Kanto, sent to explore Sinnoh and bring back samples of its natural resources. Thus, you must catch every Pokemon in a route, and get every item in a route, before moving on to the next route. You do not have to catch a Pokemon if you already have it (so no catching Bidoof in every route it's in), and if you don't find an item before looking it up on Serebii, Bulbapedia, etc. then you must play a spy or secret agent tune in your head over and over, until you find all the items in that route. You must check Serebii, Bulbapedia, etc. to make sure you get everything.

Because I couldn't get my last Scramble (Sapphire) started, I'm scrapping it to start a PEARL SCRAMBLE! I can't trade, and I'd like at least 2 pokemon before the second gym. Otherwise, let your imaginations run wild!

DragonBreath, take a Sheildon & name it Shield.

This Sheildon is an all Special one, & it must learn & keep Blizzard, Thunder, Fire Blast & a Special move of your choice.

Sheildon Must solo one Gym Leader to evolve.

Have fun! :)

I have also been set a Shinx by Xarix, which must net the final KO in each gym, and can only evolve immediately as the result of levelling up from a gym battle. This is with the Shieldon. Looks good so far, I'd like a starter next, if possible.

DragonBreath, take a Grotle.

Now, the special thing about this Grotle is that it thinks it's a Wartortle, so name it as such. You must keep Withdraw in its' movepool, and it has to go against every fire Pokemon in the Elite Four and win.

Do I have to keep it as a Grotle? You didn't specifically say.

EDIT: Trying this again. DragonBreath, I grant you permission to use the coolest non-glitch Pokemon, Lucario! Why would I give away such a grand Pokemon? Because people are underestimating Lucario lately. They assume they know all his moves, but they have only scratched the surface. And we all know how weak a scratch is. To show them the error of their ways, you will train a Lucario that doesn't use ANY move suggested for Lucario in the Smogon analysis. This includes...

...


It must also solo Cynthia's Lucario, to prove it's the best. Name it UnderUsed, and if it's female, breed it. The Riolu that you get from breeding must know at least one egg move not on the list of moves above, and keep that move through the whole game.
loudkirbyking can lead the Mythology village if I die.

You can teach it Fly or Defog to help, but they can't be used in battle.
I already have this Grotle, but I can use the Starly with the same rules?

Dragon Breath, take a Geodude. It may only evolve after soloing 10 Gym Leader Pokemon (watch out everyone else, because there aren't many left now) and it has to solo your rival when you meet him/her in Victory Road, but it can never be the highest-levelled Pokemon in your party.

In other news, my Platinum challenge is:

Its A Random's Drifloon

Paradox808's Scyther

Treadshot's Lapras


Iggdrasil's Machoke


zdrup15's Slowbro

auramaster's Chimchar


So that's the challenge. It sounds fun. Oh wait:

Oh God. And, zdrup15, does that mean Slowbro's nature must be calm?v

Dragon Breath, this will be a unique and outright difficult challenge.

Every time you enter a new area you've never been to before, you MUST catch the very first wild Pokemon you encounter. You may NOT use Repels to skip thru a route without battling a wild Pokemon. Every time you encounter a wild Pokemon using this method, you must release the previous one caught by this method, regardless of level or species or whether you capture a Pokemon or not (If you fail to capture a new Pokemon, you must release your old one anyway). This Pokemon must also be your lead in any Gym Leader battle, unless another challenge overrides, and you cannot switch out until the Gym Leader's lead Pokemon is defeated or your lead faints.

IE: Route 201 if the first wild Pokemon you encounter is Starly, you must capture it. Then in Route 202 you encounter a Shinx, you must attempt to capture the Shinx, and you must release Starly.

Areas are defined as a location on the map, such as a numbered Route, cave, Mt. Coronet. It does NOT include towns, the Safari Zone, or separate "floors" of a cave. Fishing rods are forbidden.

Due to the nature of this challenge, there is no moveset restrictions of any kind.

Yes, this is very similar to a Nuzlocke.

I take this challenge with both hands, and shall squeeze every last drop out of it until it is completed!
Ok, that was overly dramatic. But yes, I'll take Sprocket's Challenge, followed by the Pearl Scramble, which I need one more pokemon for.
