HAPPY FEB FIRST. In honer of the new month, i shall now do a EXTREME Emerald Challenge. No trading.
1.)
Take a Ralts. No evolving. Solo Sidney. Have fun grinding.
2.) @Breloom: Take a Slakoth. It can evolve into Vigoroth whenever, but then must evolve into Slaking ASAP. Only STAB move it can have is Frustration. You can only give it 3 herbs to lower it's friendship, and must finish off every steel type you see, and don't run away from, with Frustration. If you run away from it, then the next steel type you see, you must solo with Frustration. (You get Frustration in Pacifidlog, btw. So, until them, you can use only one STAB move of whatever.) Also, in order to be kind, it only has to finish off Steven's Aggron with Frustration, not his others. Nickname it "AngrySloth".
3.)
@Breloom
Every time time you face a gym leader, you must solo their first pokemon with this pokemon.
Xatu is you pokemon
Toxic is the only damaging move it may use, except as later defined
Rest can help you stall out the toxic damage
Escape from battle is not an option (it must stay in until it wins of faints)
Mimic can be used to gain another move (hopefully a good one, and possibly a direct damaging one)
Enjoy!
EXTREME enough for you? ;)
Also, hello guys, long time no see. Probably not returning to this thread on the regular, but I may stop in every now and then if I'm feeling really inspired.
4.) @Breloom, take a Poochyena named Hound. It cannot use a SE attack. To evolve, it must solo Brawly's Makuhita and every trainer on Route 105. If, when you start the battle with Brawly, Hound is at or above level 30, then Hound can't know any moves with more then 80 base power.
5.)@breloom, take a shroomish named "NOOOOOOOPE". Congrats! Your new shroomish refuses to do anything helpful so it may only use attacks, and only attacks that can not inflict status. It also doesn't want to help anyone else on your team so if it attacks a pokemon it must finish it off. Solo 5 pokemon in the E4.
Good luck.
EDIT: I just noticed how hard that slaking challange is, soloing a 4x resist with frustration will require tons of grinding, glad i'm not you :P

6.) @Breloom: Take a Marill. It must either solo two Gym Leaders not named Roxanne or Flannery OR you may give up one of its moveslots. It may evolve into Azumarill after you solo 5 Pokemon with the Defense Curl + Rollout combination and KO them on the 5th hit of Rollout OR you may evolve it whenever but give up a moveslot. As an Azumarill, you must immediately transform its entire moveset into physical moves (if you've already lost a moveslot, it only has to fill those it has). If you cannot do this, give up a moveslot. Its final requirement depends on how many moveslots you have left after beating Juan:
4- Solo Wally in Victory Road OR give up a moveslot and complete the requirement for 3.
3- Solo Phoebe's second Dusclops OR give up a moveslot and complete the requirement for 2.
2- Do not use it in Victory Road OR give up a moveslot and complete the requirement for 1.
1- Solo one Pokemon in the E4.
Name this Marill MvsltSndrm.
