Unfortunately, due to some irl occurrences, and simply b/c i stopped playing for so long, my previous 2 Scrambles have been almost permanently retired. I might come back but it probably will not happen :(
Good news is that I'm starting a new one!
I'm gonna go with Omega Ruby Hard-very hard!
NOW! I want this to be hard in its uniqueness, not hard for the sake of being hard. I am not afraid to reject pokemon that force me to solo everything or grind all day. I'm looking for unique challenges!
With that out of the way, I am accepting stuff now for this new scramble!
ATTENTION! This challenge has been restarted, due to the fact that it has been on hiatus for about 2 years. Keeping old pokemon, lets try this again!
The above is a terrible joke, here's the real challenge:
Take Pacifist the Zigzagoon. Pacifist does not like to hurt other pokemon, and may never hit another pokemon with a super effective attack -- she must use resisted attacks if possible. To increase the likelihood that she can hit with a resisted attack, Pacifist must learn moves of 4 different types ASAP, and if given an option, may never learn a move that is the same type as a currently known move -- even if the currently known move would be overwritten by the new move.
If multiple moves may hit a foe for resisted damage, or no moves are resisted and multiple moves may hit for neutral damage, select the move that has the highest remaining PP and use that move. If multiple valid moves are tied for highest remaining PP, choose the move to use randomly. Pacifist believes (however incorrectly) that choosing the move to use in this fashion will reduce its responsibility for the damage it causes to other pokemon.
If Pacifist is ever put in a position where it is forced to deal SE damage to an opponent, you must buy and toss items with a value of half of your current money at the next available opportunity. Pacifist must also be immediately boxed until the next gym has been beaten.
Because Pacifist does not want to engage in battle, it may never lead your party, and may never deal damage to a wild pokemon.
Let me know if that's too easy or too hard, and I can adjust it.

pretzel987 take Bob the Torchic.
Bob's job is to fire useless Pokemon, with "useless" defined here as "not a Scramblemon."
Bob's job is to fire useless Pokemon, with "useless" defined here as "not a Scramblemon."
- Learn a Fire-type attacking move ASAP. Bob must always keep at least one Fire-type attacking move.
- When in a zone (route, cave, etc.) that has a potential Scramblemon as a wild Pokemon, Bob must solo all wild Pokemon in that zone until all the possible Scramblemons in that zone are caught.
- Have a full team of six Scramblemons to evolve into Combusken. Solo Groudon to evolve into Blaziken.
- If you're doing the Delta Episode, solo Rayquaza and Deoxys.
Take Beyond the Surskit.
Beyond doesn't believe that attacks really deal damage based on their power or even what they actually do, and believes type effectiveness is the only thing that matters. As such, its moves must be all different types as soon as possible, and it may never have more than two attacking moves. If it would learn a move, or you gain a TM, of the same type as a move it already knows, and this would not give it too many attacking moves, you must immediately forget the move it already knows and teach it the new move.
Additionally, it must always use its move with the highest type effectiveness against any target, even if it is a non-damaging move.
To evolve into Masquerain, solo Flannery. As Masquerain, defeat Winona and Tate paired with your lowest-level Pokemon.

pretzel987 take a Groudon and solo the entire game with it DontGrindMe the *insert Pokemon here*
Why the *insert Pokemon here*? Because this will be your first Pokemon you find that is in either the Slow or Fluctuating EXP Group. The only restriction is that you must have DontGrindMe by Wattson. Why? Because it has to solo Wattson, of course!
Full list of mons available before Wattson:
Ralts
Slakoth
Tentacool
Makuhita
Aron
Magikarp (if you get this...well sorry)
Shroomish
Gulpin
Illumise
(I don't think I missed too much)
DontGrindMe doesn't like growing quickly. He believes that the EXP Share is too cheesy, so you should always have it off. He also will refuse to fight wild Pokemon or take part in trainer rematches until he evolves. (if you get Illumise, it can never fight wild Pokemon) Solo your second rival fight to evolve. DontGrindMe also doesn't believe in overleveling Gym Leaders, so it may never exceed the level of the next Gym Leader's lowest-leveled Pokemon. If it does...well reset your game or something.
Once you evolve DontGrindMe, his attitude becomes infections. You may not level any of your Pokemon above the lowest-levelled Pokemon of the next gym leader, and if you're already overleveled, you may not use said overleveled Pokemon against the gym in question.
If you got Ralts, Slakoth, or Aron, solo another GLMP (gym leader main Pokemon) to evolve a second time. If you get Ralts or Aron, solo the entire gym leader instead if you wish to use your Mega Evolution.
If you got Tentacool, Makuhita, Magikarp, Shroomish, or Gulpin, solo an entire gym minus the leader without ever healing.
If you got Illumise, it's your lucky day! Of course, you can never fight wild Pokemon with it so have fun.
Regardless of what you got, solo an E4 member.

Alrighty pretzel987, I'm gonna submit Tony the Lairon.

He can only learn Steel and Normal type moves.
If you wish to give me a Pokemon for my scramble run *cough* need 4 more *cough*

pretzel987 , take Rouge the Nuzleaf!(hopefully this one is interesting rather than overly difficult)
Rouge has taken the wrong portal from the MMO he calls home, where he lives his days out as a...you guessed it, a thief.
Being a thief, he must always know things that are well... thieflike, I suppose. Learn and keep thief at all times. He must also always carry at least one other dark type move at all times.
Being a stealthy guy, he hates direct confrontation. Rouge may never lead in a battle, or directly switch in on an opponent. Rouge may only take part in a battle where at least one pokemon has fainted, is a wild pokemon(because I know dontgrindme is already a pain), or the opponent is inflicted with a crippling status of some kind.
When entering battle, lead off with a Thief attack, just in case the foe is holding something valuable. Use any other moves you feel like afterwards.
Whenever Rouge faints, he feels cheated out of what should have been an easy win. Unfortunately you have to "persuade" him to continue fighting for you. Buy and discard 5 of the most expensive ball in that area, or discard one Nugget.
In order to evolve, Rouge must prove he is worthy of the name. Steal 5 items from Trainer Pokemon(rematches are fine), or steal 20 items from Wild Pokemon(tip:use the dexnav a lot), and at least score one KO in a gym leader battle.
After becoming a master Thief(evolving) Rouge decides that he no longer HAS to be sneaky all the time. Rouge may lead the party or directly switch in on a Pokemon. While Thief must still be kept, Rouge no longer has to use it at the start of a battle he's in; merely, he has to use it at least once in battle(unless it's a wild Pokemon, then just KO it). Learn Leaf Blade and keep it. Of course, his "payments" double as he's a superior fighter now. Buy and toss 10 expensive Pokeballs or 2 Nuggets.
too easy? Then add this challenge and remove all others bar using Thief at least once in battle. Rouge is from a true Rougelike MMO, where death is permanent. If Rouge faints, box him forever and nothing may take his place.
