The Scramble Challange MkI

[auramaster]

A solo Scramble is a Scramble where you only use 1 Pokemon throughout the game.

If you're using Xchat, mIRC, or Colloquy (Whatever that is) to get on IRC, Smogon has some very helpful instructions on the site; if you're using something else like Mibbit, try PMing a mod and asking for help.

[Mr.L]

Ok, thanks for the help =)

Just one more beforei decide who i go through the game (I see the edit you made =P Shame no flame wheel xD)

EDIT: Actually 2, had Henderson! listed twice.

[yytan12]

OK.
So I'm gonna start a scramble challenge on my FireRed.

Rules:
I can't trade
I must start with squirtle
Difficulty: Easy-Medium (this is my first scramble challenge)

Get going!

[Mr.L]

@yytan12: You get EagerBevar the Mankey.

EagerBevar is so eager, he doesn't know when to stop attacking. Because of this, Mankey has an affinity with the move Fury Swipes, which he must keep on his moveset at all possible times. Eager loves battling trainers, so he must participate in every trainer battle that has more than one pokemon. In order for EagerBevar to evolve, he must master his Fury Swipes, and solo a gym leader using only Fury Swipes (and Focus Energy if he still knows it, to help him focus). After he evolves, however, EagerBevar's no longer Eager, but in fact ANGRY! Take him to the Name Rater and name him ANGRYBEVAR, and replace Fury Swipes with RAGE! The trainer battle restriction is lifted now that he's ANGRY, but he must quench his RAGE somehow. To accomplish this, ANGRYBEVAR must kill 3 pokemon in each Route you cross using only RAGE.

Oh, and since he's so ANGRY, he must never be the last pokemon in your party. that'd make him ANGRY...er.


Recap:
-EagerBevar the Mankey
-Knows Fury Swipes at all times
-Participate once in every trainer battle with more than one pokemon
-Evolve by soloing a gym leader with Fury Swipes (and Focus Energy, if known at the time)
-After Evolution, rename ANGRYBEVAR and replace Fury Swipes with RAGE!
-3rd stipulation's lifted.
-Solo 3 pokemon in each Route using only RAGE!
-Never last in party once ANGRY!

Have Fun!

[yytan12]

Thanks Mr. L.

My mind is blown.

Anything funky for squirtle?

[Ruwisc]

yytan12, you get Flowa Powa the Oddish. Oddish is a little confused by the evolution restrictions put on FR/LG (the game won't let you evolve into a non-Kanto Pokemon before getting the National Dex), but really feels like a Bellossom at heart instead of a Vileplume. In order to be convinced that Vileplume is what it was meant to evolve into, Flowa Powa must solo Erika (no restrictions to evolve into Gloom). He keeps some degree of regret about his decision, however, and refuses to use Poison-type attacks after evolution (since Bellossom wouldn't use them). He may never have more than one damaging Grass-type attack at one time, and if you plan to do post-game parts of the game, he may never fight against a Generation II Pokemon unless he is the last Pokemon left in your party.

[Ubiquitous]

Mr.L, what I meant in my Hoppip challenge is that Brawler must use Tackle to solo all Gym Trainers in every Gym up to Morty's. But then he can't use tackle on Morty's Gym, so forget it. Change it so that its only up to Whitney's Gym.

[Mr.L]

Oh, ok, that makes sense =P

Still need 2 moar!

[Todris052]

Hey yyten12, you get to be my first scramble! Hooray!
But seriously. You asked for a Squirtle, you get one. Name it HydroSpin. When it learns Rapid Spin, you must teach it to him over TACKLE. Yes, that means you have to keep Tackle until he learns it. Also, he cannot learn Surf or Waterfall, And he must learn Hydro Pump. After he learns it, it cannot use any other Water move in battle.
That's it, I think.

[Harpwn]

Yytan you get C. Sheen the Spearow. Sheen is addicted to drugs (and pornstars). Every time you find a stat boosting drug (Calcium, iron, etc.), Sheen demands it, so you must give it to him. His favorite drug is a Rare Candy, so in order to evolve, you must give him a Rare Candy.

[auramaster]

@yytan12, take a Growlithe named Beast. After evolving to Arcanine, it cannot learn any new moves. Solo Blaine if its ability is Flash Fire, or your Rival's Growlithe/Arcanine in every battle if its ability is Intimidate.

I suppose that counts as flinching it to death, vacuously. If you want to make the challenge even harder, then only 2HKOs or more count. (Magneton is 4x resistant to Flying, so you shouldn't have trouble failing to OHKO one if you want to.)

[Mygavolt]

@yytan12: You get BetrThanU the Pikachu, who can never evolve. Have it solo 3 Gyms. It cannot learn Toxic. Oh, and have it solo 3 E4 Pokémon, too.

[yytan12]

My team so far:
1. HydroSpin the squirtle
2. EgarBevar the Mankey
3. Flowa Powa the oddish
4. C. Sheen the Spearow (LMFAO)
5. Beast the Growlithe
6. BetrThanU the pikachu (OH GOD).

Wish me luck!

Okie dokie! I will be looking on pokearth to see where one is. If there's fewer than 3, I'ma just SR on one and hope for the best xD

but i agree, it will be hard enough.

Eager to see who my person will be.

[Prie]

Pokemon Emerald Scramble. Yay! Send me the Pokemons! Two Scrambles. Oh yeah!

[pimpgangster]

Ok gettin back into scrambles

Heartgold SOLO challenge
10 mons RNG 1
No trading
will pokesav the mon in so be Creative but no stupid shit
Will be going to Red

[Mr.L]

Just posting to show I'm getting stuff for the both of ya, just gimme a minute to get my creative juices flowing.

@Prie: Prepare to be astounded with my generosity by giving you HairyLip the Nosepass. HairyLip has dreams of being a wonderful Probopass, but doesn't like the inavailability of this in Emerald. HairyLip refuses to believe this, and wishes to show everyone that he is determined to be a Probopass. HairyLip must know Thunder Wave all it's life, because Probopass is a wall. Also, HairyLip must switch into any pokemon who's type is one of steel's resistances, and not fight any that steel is weak against. If your challenge extends to Steven, then HairyLip must solo 2 of Steven's Steel-typed pokemon without any healing items in order to show his worthiness of the steel type (if not going to steven, HairyLip shall solo Drake, as Steel > Dragon)

Recap:
-HairyLip the Nosepass
-Thunder Wave always
-Switch in on attacks Steels resists
-Solo Sidney OR kill 2 of Steven's Steel types in a successful battle

@pimpgangster: If you're SAVing, then i can still give non-johto mons? Once this is cleared up, I'll give my challenge.

[auramaster]

Will post something for Prie/pimpgangster if I get a good idea.

First Hardest Leafgreen Scramble Ever Update!!!

---

First off, this will be a little experimental; the first video update!!! Sorta. Instead of typing up a long update, or leaving out interesting details, I will attempt to video all of the major battles and link to them in the updates. Didn't start this until after Brock, I did battle and beat him after grinding a little until Pidgey evolved into Pidgeotto, who dominated Brock despite the type disadvantage O_o

Soloing Super Nerd Miguel with Caterpie




Sadist the Magikarp (Level 10)
~Splash

Restrictions: Must be bought from the Magikarp salesman, must lead the party through Mt. Moon, cannot evolve until Level 30. After evolving, must know Splash, Tackle/Flail, a non-STAB move with 60 base pover or less, and a non-STAB move with less than 60 base power.
Cannot heal at a Pokemon Center unless 3 of its moves are out of PP, and can only use Splash if it has more then 50% health left. Must switch out or heal if afflicted with a status condition other then poison; if poisoned, it must stay in until a Pokemon faints. Solo 1 E4 member and the Grass Gym without visiting the Pokemon Center (user 18)

Comments: LPV so far for obvious reasons



I hate you the Metapod (Level 18)
~Tackle
~String Shot

Restrictions: Can only fight Pokemon that are lower level, must start each battle with String Shot, solo nerd at the end of Mt. Moon to evolve to Metapod. Can't switch out, must solo Misty, then can't battle until Lavendar Town. Solo all Grunts in Celadon, then String Shot doesn't have to be used, and can't battle in Silph Co., followed by soloing Saffron Gym. No longer has to battle Pokemon of a lower level, solo the Gym Battle against Giovanni, then evolve to Butterfree and teach it Giga Drain and Psychic. Solo 2 Rival's Pokemon no the way there, then solo 5 E4 Pokemon (TalkingLion)

Comments: <auramaster> Level 14 Caterpie in my Scramble just 3HKO'd a Level 5 Paras <_<
<Yoshiken> ...lol.

SO WEAK!!! Its Attack stat after evolving is 14.



Lolcat the Pidgeotto (Level 21)
~Gust
~Quick Attack
~Sand-Attack
~Tackle

Restrictions: First Pidgey you see on Route 1. Evolve it one time. It may learn one move with more than 40 Base Power, Sand-attack is the only non-attacking move it gets.. It must solo Blaine, Giovanni Gym Battle, and 3 Pokemon from a single E4 member (DetroitLolcat)

Comments: Pretty good so far. Restrictions haven't bothered it, even soloed Brock without needing a Potion O_o Definately MVP

[Mr.L]

Last post before i go to bed, but I gotta ask, Auramaster: Both Pidgeotto and Metapod have to solo Giovanni...how's that gonna work?

[Ruwisc]

@Prie: You get Dreidel the Baltoy! As soon as possible, you must have the following moveset:

-Selfdestruct (Gimel, receive all the chips in the pot) - may be replaced by Explosion when you reach that point
-AncientPower (Hei, receive half the chips in the pot)
-Mud-Slap (Nun, do nothing)
-Double Team (Shin, place one piece into the pot)

In order to evolve, you must play a little game. Have Dreidel come out during a Gym Leader battle with this moveset, and pull out a dreidel if you have one (if not, roll a die, rerolling if you get 5 or 6. If you don't have a die... well find some other way to randomly choose moves). Spinning this dreidel will be your way of determining what move Dreidel will use. You must solo two Pokemon from the same Gym Leader using this method in order to evolve. (Note that if you explode on the first Pokemon, you can't finish this requirement... hehehe). After evolution, you may replace up to two of those moves, but you must be able to justify why that move fits in that slot (for instance, no replacing Mud-Slap with Earthquake, as Nun is supposed to signify doing nothing, et cetera) I won't be approving these for you, just do what sounds good to you. Selfdestruct/Explosion may not be replaced.

In addition, Dreidel may never be your lowest-leveled Pokemon, and if you use it against the Elite Four, you must select every other move it uses during the Elite Four randomly as shown above.

Have fun!

[auramaster]

I will solo Giovanni with one Pokemon, restart without saving, and solo with the other Pokemon.

@Prie, take a Lotad named Speedy. This Lotad wants to be the fastest Pokemon ever, so it must know every priority move it can (Fake Out), it must have the ability Swift Swim, and if a Pokemon ever outspeeds Speedy, it must use Rain Dance to become even faster.

@Mr.L, take a Totodile named Dile. After every 4 Gym battles, you must forget all 4 moves and never use them again. Dile can remember one move it's forgotten if you...

Win the Bug-Catching Contest with Dile
Win the Pokethlon with only touching Dile
Catch a legendary (1 move for each legendary)

[Pika25]

Prie gets a mudkip called IherdUliek; must solo Wattson as Mudkip to evolve. Evolve into Swampert after defeating Liza and Tate in a doubles. Cannot learn earthquake.

pimpganster will take a Gible and call it Jaws. Jaws must solo Clair to evolve into Gabite. Evolve again after soloing Blue. Cannot learn earthquake.

[Mygavolt]

@Prie:

You get TRAPPED 6 the Arena Trap Trapinch (must have Arena Trap). Its only attacking moves can be Hidden Power (in Slateport/Fortree) as bombs and Faint Attack representing the ability to push blocks. It must keep Hidden Power. As it loses health, you must keep track of the health lost. It cannot evolve until it soloes a Seviper with Hidden Power. When it evolves, you can stop keeping track of its lost health, and it must solo the next 4 Pokés you encounter with Hidden Power as a celebration that it "escaped." Of course, you can flee from whichever Pokés are immune. When it evolves again, for every 100 HP you lost as a Trapinch, you must solo one trained Poké.

Recycled challanges FTW

[Ruwisc]

Pimpgangster, you get Ozzie the Azurill. He may not have Huge Power as an ability, and from the moment you enter Goldenrod City until beating Pryce you may heal his HP with herbal (happiness-lowering) medicine only. That seems tough enough as it is, but I'll add one more restriction: he may not evolve into Azumarill until you board the S.S. Aqua.
