Um, i'm currently tanking all of Sunyshore Gym (Master Ball'd Dialga at Spear Pillar, currently in my box to trade over to my SS). Lorak's going great, actually. Lv. 44, so it still can't evolve (goddamnit, learn Giga Drain already!!!), but it's runs a SeedDrain set really well. Tanks bloody everything. Except the odd Flying type.

Glad to hear. It may not have the stats for it, but Big Root really makes the HP you get back worthwhile.

On another note, I think I'll start a Scramblocke (Scramble + Nuzlocke) challenge of my own on Emerald. I will accept 12 Pokemon.

Notes:
- I'll be using an emulator, so no trading for evolution or anything.
- No hacking. I don't like it!

My rules:
1. I will catch exactly one Pokemon from each route. Since this is also a Scramble challenge, I will not necessarily catch the first Poke I see, but rather the Poke given to me for that route. If no Poke was given to me from that route, I will instead just catch the first non-duplicate Poke I see.
2. No duplicates!
3. Each time you give me a Poke, specify which route I must catch it from.
4. I will only be allowed to train the 12 Pokemon given to me. In other words, 6 of those 12 will be in my E4 team.
5. If one of my 12 main Pokes dies, TS. I'll have to release it and chose another Poke from the remaining 11 to replace it. If I run out of replacements, super TS.
6. I WANNA FLYGON ERRRRGH lol jk
7. Try and let me have at least 6 of the 12 Pokemon obtained before the 4th gym, okay?

Aaaaand that's it! Go wild people, but please don't make it so difficult that I cry.

Places so far:
1. Trapinch - must know Hyper Beam to evolve into Vibrava (Desert)
2. Ralts (Pachirisu) - 2nd highest level at all times, at E4, must be boxed and never used again (I was so happy until I read the last bit) (Route right of Petalburg)
3. Solrock/Lunatone - must have both STABs accounted for at all times (Meteor Falls)
4. Electrike (female) - must solo Flannery (Route north of Slateport)
5. First Ghost-type I see - must have 2 STAB moves (Mt. Pyre)
6. Wurmple - must know Silver Wind and Whirlwind, may never be lowest levelled Poke (Petalburg Woods)

Still need 6 more suggestions, including a starter. Anyone?
 
@chomzloh, Take Treecko. It must learn Fury Cutter from the tutor in Verdanturf, and keep it. To evolve into Sceptile it has to be one of the two pokemon to solo Liza and Tate, and have the move Screech at the time.

I have quite the warstory for y'all.

PFCVagoo (Bidoof) lv18 vs Cherubi lv19
Vagoo used Defense Curl.
Cherubi used Growth.
Vagoo used Rollout
Cherubi used Leech Seed.
Vagoo used Rollout.
Cherubi used Grass Knot.
Vagoo used Rollout.
Cherubi fainted.

At this point, I was at about half health. Remember Rollout only uses on PP.

PFCVagoo lv18 vs Turtwig lv19
PFCVagoo used Rollout.
Turtwig fainted.

Hmmm, Vagoo's doing better than expected.

PFCVagoo lv18 vs Roserade lv22
PFCVagoo used Rollout.
Roserade fainted.

Chateau defeated Leader Gardenia!
Chateau: Don't you talk about my Vagoo like that! I'll slap your shit.
Gardenia: wut.

Edit: Re-battled Gardenia to fulfill Turtwig's requirements. Wasn't quite the same without Vagoo the Bidoof destroying everything in sight.

And now Vagoo has solo'd Jupiter as well, the third boss she's solo'd (although Gardenia doesn't count). It's just too powerful.

Caught Meditite, named it Captain. Serebii says it doesn't learn a physical move until level 21, Feint. And it doesn't learn a physical STAB until 29. Can't complain though, since I can get BoltBeam Pawnch when it evolves. It'll be tough to level up, though. Way tougher than Vagoo, who basically makes wild Pokemon hand over Exp out of fear.

I walked into Hearthome, Keira the contest judge's Buneary ran into me. She said, "come back to the contest hall later so I can thank you properly." Awwwww yeah. In other news, Vagoo is now slaughtering everything in its path with Hyper Fang.
 
@chomzloh

since i give out relatively easy challenges most of the time (unlike some people with crazy ass challenges. next time they try a challenge they better use a party FULL OF THE CRAP THEY GIVE OUT), here's a rather fun one.


Lotad named Lolpad, in honor of the ludicolo i had in my own emerald run. may not evolve until slateport, and may not evolve again until after the liza and tate battle (not like you can get a waterstone before then anyway). must always have dual STAB after gaining HM03.

This one doesn't really seem too tough! But quick note here: I was given a Ralts earlier (TO BE NAMED PACHIRISU), which can only be caught on Route 102, which is also one of two places where Lotad is found. The earliest time I can next catch a Lotad would therefore be at Route 114, after Fallorbor Town. Or would I have permission to just pick up a Lotad at Route 102 as well?

if you want to stay true to a nuzlocke run, catch it in fallorbor town. if you do then you can catch a lombre since you're already well past slateport. but you have my permission to catch lotad on 102 if you would like.

also since this is probably the only place this could go, would anyone like to suggest a pokemon for me to do a solo run of platinum (one poke the whole way :D)? i'll just AR a lvl 1 base form of the pokemon you choose at the beginning. As long as it isnt legendary and won't be absurdly hard to use (things with a BST of less than 430 and things that are hard to raise like blissey), fire away.

first suggestion:
Grab yourself a Beldum (AR it at a reasonable level, Take Down as your only move is stupid), call it Steel Easy. Can never hold Shuca or Occa Berry. Once it gets to Metagross, you should do fine until Flint. Also, you must either defeat in battle, or capture with any ball other than a Master Ball, Giratina in the Distortion World. TreadshotA1

ZOMG, yay, someone else is doing my challenge! Although technically it's not mine... and someone else has probably thought of it before, but all well. Anyway, good on ya chomzloh

Also your using different rules but anyway, i will give you a Linoon, caught on any route you want. It must always have 3 non-normal direct damaging moves. (apart from when caught)

Hmm, is there anywhere else he can catch a Ralts? Maybe he could catch Lotad early, and Ralts later.

At any rate, sure Paradox808. Grab yourself a Beldum (AR it at a reasonable level, Take Down as your only move is stupid), call it Steel Easy. Can never hold Shuca or Occa Berry. Once it gets to Metagross, you should do fine until Flint. Also, you must either defeat in battle, or capture with any ball other than a Master Ball, Giratina in the Distortion World.

Of course, make it a legal hack. Obviously.
 
obsidianranger: Actually, I was inspired by your challenge! :) Technically, I didn't read through your rules; I saw you use the term Scramblocke, and I pretty much made up my own rules from there. Should've credited you, though... sorry I forgot. :P

1. Trapinch - must know Hyper Beam to evolve into Vibrava (Desert)
2. Ralts (Pachirisu) - 2nd highest level at all times, at E4, must be boxed and never used again (I was so happy until I read the last bit) (Route right of Petalburg)
3. Solrock/Lunatone - must have both STABs accounted for at all times (Meteor Falls)
4. Electrike (female) - must solo Flannery (Route north of Slateport)
5. First Ghost-type I see - must have 2 STAB moves (Mt. Pyre)
6. Wurmple - must know Silver Wind and Whirlwind, may never be lowest levelled Poke (Petalburg Woods)
7. Treecko - must learn Fury Cutter, solo Tate and Liza to evolve fully (New Bark Town)
8. Lotad (Lolpad) - (adding my own twist here) must be caught as Lombre, can only evolve after Liza/Tate, must have dual STAB (Route 114 onwards)
9. Linoone - must know 3 direct non-Normal attacking moves
10.
11.
12.
 
I'm gonna do a Scramble challenge once I finish my Nuzlocke (about a week probably), but I'm curious what you guys think of this variant:

* SoulSilver, only trades allowed are to/from HeartGold.
* Gameplay will begin as if I just beat the Elite 4 for the first time, before boarding the S.S. Aqua and receiving the National Pokedex.
* The Pokemon picked for the challenge board S.S. Aqua with me, unless indicated otherwise.
* Pokemon board S.S. Aqua knowing only level-up moves, unless indicated otherwise. HM moves are not taught until disembarking from S.S. Aqua.
* All Pokemon begin at level 45, maximum level 70 before beating Red.
* Only Pokemon in the Johto Regional Pokedex.
* Team must be self-sufficient, no HM slaves! Will need Cut, Surf, and Rock Climb (Fly, Rock Smash, and Whirlpool are not to be used, Strength and Waterfall are optional)

Challenge is won when Elite 4 Version 2 + Red are both defeated.

Party:

1. (Treadshot A1) Nidoqueen. Cannot have Earthquake, and it must faint in the Vermillion Gym Battle. Must Box in PC before fighting Red. (valid HMs: Cut, Surf)
2. (Paradox808) Lickitung. Name it Fearless, must be Brave nature. evolve it to Lickilicky if it KOs (the wild) snorlax using successive rollouts. if someone gives you said snorlax for your challenge or you want snorlax for your collection, replace it with one of misty's pokes. before you fight Blue get Lickilicky's moveset to be exactly like the mixed wallbreaker moveset in the analysis. (valid HMs: None)
3. (Trebs) Lanturn. Can only know 2 attacking moves at one time (valid HMs: Surf)
4. (Vratix) Chansey. Nickname it "fat Hannah". It must have 4 attacking moves and it must solo Blaine to evolve into Blissey. (valid HMs: Rock Climb)
5. (Chateau) Haunter. Nickname it SlutMuffin, or nickname it after yourself. It must know Lick and Taunt at all times, and can only evolve after it soloes a total of 6 gym leader pokemon. (valid HMs: None)
6.
 
Fair enough, going through Kanto i see. Fine. If you want pokemon, take a Nidoqueen with you. The only condition is that it cannot have Earthquake, and it must faint in the Vermillion Gym Battle. Make up your own name here.

To make it harder, deposit it in your box at the PC at the base of Mt. Silver, so no using it to tank Red's Pikachu.
 
@chomzloh

the only water moves lombre learns through level up is water sport and hydro pump (both at 30+). unless you dont plan to use it from 114 to until you use surf, you might want to change it back.

@Sprocket

yes Treadshot is notorious for giving people absolutely brutal challenges (only electric attacks pachirisu is his favorite i believe >_>)

Take a Lickilicky, name it Fearless, and it must be a Brave nature. evolve it if it KOs (the wild) snorlax using successive rollouts. if someone gives you said snorlax for your challenge or you want snorlax for your collection, replace it with one of misty's pokes. before you fight Blue get Lickilicky's moveset to be exactly like the mixed wallbreaker moveset in the analysis. make sure it owns :D
 
Ah I should clarify that, unless otherwise noted by the challenge, the Pokemon you pick for me are the ones I board S.S. Aqua with (at level 45). They will begin with only level-up moves unless you indicate otherwise. Feel free to update.

Sorry, kinda playing by ear on this one, and I don't like to leave things ambiguous.
 
@Sprocket: Use a Lanturn, but it can only know 2 attacking moves at any one time. (Surf and waterfall count as attacking moves!)
 
@Paradox808, merely a suggestion but if you want a Beldum you could give yourself the same type of Beldum you'd get from the Pokewalker Winner's Path. Those Beldums know Take Down, Zen Headbutt, Iron Head, Iron Defense (which are all Platinum move tutor moves as well). I agree, Take Down only is retarded.

Could do a Togepi :P Teach it Extrasensory, just to be fair.

That's why i said in my post, "To make it harder". As in, it's optional the part about the PC Box, if you want a hard challenge.

Actually, to make it fair, when i give out pokemons, anything that immediately follows "To make it harder/annoying/difficult" is optional. Take it or leave it. If you take it, that's your fault, and Paradox808 can't blame me anymore. :) So if you want to chicken out and bring Nidoqueen along with you, fine. Go ahead.

And electric only Pachirisu is not my favorite (it's pretty good, but...). Actually, that slot goes to:
Makuhita, without Belly Drum, Bulk Up, Double Team, Focus Punch, or any other fighting move that cannot evolve until you solo both Winona and Tate and Liza with it (well, you need someone else for the Mossdeep double battle).
I don't think anyone's been given this one yet, or at least it's been lowered in difficulty. Fainting a ground pokemon in an electric gym is a close second, Pachirisu comes third, Ralts is fourth, and so on.

And yeah, Sprocket's right, Paradox808. Change my suggestion so it specifies a Beldum as caught on Winner's Path. Just to make it fair. Retarded Take Down... I would hate to see the flinch hax Paradox808 would get with a Serene Grace Air Slash Togekiss. :(

Also, why do i get a bad feeling that after i'm done with this scramble and i ask again for pokemon, i'm gonna be stuck with all the crap Pachirisus...?
 
@ chomzloh, catch an Oddish in the Safari Zone. It can never forget Sleep Powder. It must learn Petal Dance to evolve to Gloom, then you must immediately evolve it into Bellossom. Nickname it Cabbage.

Duly noted. But I like the idea now, so no Nidoqueen versus Red for me.

I think if you want to do a solo run with a Togepi, you have to mandate "Hustle Ability, and Air Slash is forbidden" :P
 
You heard the man, Paradox. It's not my fault Nidoqueen won't be able to tank Red's Pikachu. Blame Sprocket for showing off that he can beat Red with a team of Lv. 70's. :)

Yes, Hustle and Air Slash forbidden sounds good.
 
Just as well, that electric rodent is a pain in the ass with Iron Tail anyway. Knowing my luck it would OHKO Nidoqueen.

No probs, and besides, there's two different ways you can interpret the fusion of the challenges, taking the Faint=Death or the 1st catch per area part of the Nuzlocke challenge.... each would be cool.


Also people, i have traded all my Pokemon onto my other game, so i will be staying up late tonight to start my challenge. I will soon put the comic i will be making into my Signature
