Thanks for Togepi; I can use flinchax. :D Can I teach Togekiss moves Pidgey can learn in previous gens but not in Gen 4 or not?

@Jansen: Take a Growlithe. Roll a die to determine restrictions:
1: Cannot evolve until it knows Flamethrower
2: Must solo Blaine's Arcanine
3: Evolve ASAP, must never know Extremespeed
4: Must KO one of each E4 member's and Champion's Pokemon
5: Cannot know STAB
6: Solo one E4 member of your choice
For those not specified, evolve whenever. NN what you get "IAmLegend".
EDIT: @Qwerty: Take a male Ralts. It may evolve to Kirlia whenever, but if/when it does you must evolve it to Gallade immediately (i.e. have the Dawn Stone in your bag when it becomes Kirlia). As a Gallade it must solo at least 5 GL/E4MP (Gym Leader/Elite 4 Main Pokemon), and its moveset must be all attacking moves except for one slot, which must be a status move (NOT counting Teleport). In addition to these five, it must also solo Cynthia's Lucario, to prove once and for all which is the best Fighter in Gen IV OU. NN your Gallade "Roman".

Alright, I'm not seeing anything from BiGGiE, so I'm going to open his spot in my Scramble up. I need 1 new pokemon because I can not catch a goldeen and have it solo Lt. Surge's Raichu, it's just impossible to my knowledge. So first person to post get's it, I will reject if I don't like it, and no reserving. Also, it would be preferred if the Pokemon can be caught in and around vermillion/Cerulean.
Here's the team...
Here's the team...
It’s A Random-King Odin the Nidoking.
It must know all TM/HM Moves from Celadon onwards, must be the highest leveled Pokemon at all times, & must solo a combined total of 20 Gym Leader/E4 Pokemon starting from the moment you get Nidoking.
Dark Ray-You get the exact opposite of your last challange, a krabby named "See No Hax" this krabby hates hax of all kinds so it must have shell armor to protect itself from crits, but it also doesn't want to hax anyone else so it can't use any moves with hax, this means all its moves must have 100% acc and can't have secondary effects. Now that seems a bit too easy so to evolve have it solo 10 pokemon, atleast 5 must be owned by trainers, and it doesn't count if you get a crit against your opponent.
ArticBlast-Take a Graveler named Heavy Bomber. He must know Rock Blast, Explosion, and Fire Blast. He must kill the last pokemon of four trainers with Explosion to evolve, and may only use the above three moves in combat. Use dig until Fire Blast is available.
Dummy007-Take the Mr. Mime from that guy just past Rock Tunnel. Since you traded Abra for it, it may only know moves that Abra can learn (includes TMs/HMs). It must solo Sabrina's Venomoth and Mr. Mime. It must also solo any Pokemon with dual-typing that is half-Psychic.
Galladitor-Take "Grendel" the Charmander. It's seriously pissed at not being made a Dragon-type (because everyone knows that Charizard looks exactly like a medieval dragon, right?), so its final moveset must look like Lance's Dragonite's in the rematch:
Flamethrower
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Hyper Beam
Also, to prove its worth, it must solo Drake. Have fun!
EDIT: Also forgot evolution restrictions. Solo your rival north of Cerulean to evolve to Charmeleon, and solo Giovanni at Silph Co. to become Charizard.

Take a Voltorb. It may not learn: Rain Dance, Explosion, Taunt, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Hidden Power, Thunder Wave, Substitute, Light Screen, Rest, Toxic, or Screech.
Evolve whenever you want.
Evolve whenever you want.
Jansen: You get Noxious the Drowzee, who must learn and keep Poison Gas. Noxious, for his/her terrible smell is shunned by the rest of your party, unfortunately. To try and overcome this, he/she tries to be as helpful to the party's adventure as possible, both in combat and in the field. And so, it learns both Flash and Strength, and soloes three Gym Leader Pokémon of your choiuce. Its fourth move is up to you. However, by the time you reach the Elite Four, he party is used to Noxious' odour, and accept him/her with open arms. D'aww. As such, you may delete Strength and Flash, and replace them with other moves of your choice. Have fun! (Evolution is whenever you want.)
Qwertyuiop: You're about to hate me, because of one crucial omission from your banlist... PACHIRISU! Yep. Nicknamed Useless, the sole restriction for this adorable chipmunk is that it may never be the lowest levelled member of your party, apart from when it is first caught. I'd make you solo Byron with it, but it's Christmas, so I'm feeling generous. HO HO HO!

Qwerty, you get Rotom. It hides in the TV because it's afraid of Ghosts and the Dark. It also gets intimidated easily. It won't use any move other than Substitute against a Ghost or Dark type, or any pokemon with Intimidate, unless it is behind a Substitute. It is also afraid of the Ghostbusters, especially Ray, so it won't use Confuse Ray.
It can do anything if you have at least 3 fainted pokemon, and it is your last one.

Jansen: You get a Spearow, named Maverick, that likes to be unique. As such, it cannot evolve until it knows moves of four different types and defeats a gym leader's strongest pokemon to prove that its unique moveset is viable.
Also, I'm driving to Seattle with my family the day after Christmas, and may finish my current Leaf Green scramble on the car ride. I would like a Ruby scramble with all the normal rules, I need a starter, and no Feebas. Also, no completely restricting my pokemon from evolving, and no trading. And try to make it fun, not too insane.

@Zosodojo: Reserving your starter.
EDIT: Take Sammy the Mudkip. Sammy doesn't really like being a Water-type, so he refuses to use any Water-type moves in battle. When Sammy evolves into Marshtomp after soloing either Roxanne or Brawly, he learns Mud Shot, which seems much better to Sammy than any Water move. So he insists on using Mud Shot every time he switches into battle, even on Flying-types and Levitating Pokemon. Sammy's always liked being strong, so he learns Strength and is always the highest-leveled member of your party. Sammy then decides to solo Norman to prove his strength. After he does so, Sammy suddenly evolves again--into Swampert! As he evolves, Sammy realizes what a fool he's been, and reverses everything he once wanted. Sammy may now know Water moves, must forget Strength ASAP, and must always be the third-lowest-levelled member of your party or lower, so that his fellow teammates can have the spotlight.
Recap:
-Nickname your Mudkip "Sammy".
-May never use Water moves in battle.
-Must solo Roxanne/Brawly to evolve to Marshtomp.
-Must learn Mud Shot, and use it on the first turn every time it switches into battle.
-Must learn Strength ASAP.
-Must always be highest-levelled member of your team.
-Solo Norman to become Swampert.
-Forget Strength, learn a Water move ASAP, must be in bottom half of team's levels.

Holy BST Batman! Zosodojo gets a Slakoth. It can only evolve into Vigoroth at level 35 or higher, and must immediately evolve into Slaking via a Rare Candy. It cannot battle as Vigoroth. Name it Scruffy, and teach it at least 2 HM moves by the Elite Four. Scruffy must KO 2 Gym Leaders highest level pokemon, and do the same for 2 out of 5 of the Elite Four and Champion.
Jansen gets Powder the Oddish, who must know & keep 2 of the following: Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, & PoisonPowder. It must use one of these moves at least once in every trainer battle it appears in.
To evolve into Gloom, It must solo 25 trained Pokemon. To evolve into Vileplume, it must solo a further 25 trained Pokemon.
Have fun.
Qwertyuiop gets a fossilmon, which of course, depends on your Trainer ID.
Zosodojo777 gets my signature Flapper the Cheri Berry Zubat. It must hold a Cheri Berry to fight, if it loses it mid-battle, you must switch it out. It can evolve into Golbat Whenever, but to evolve it into Crobat, have it solo 10 trained Grass Type Pokemon (Watch out for Stun Spore!!!).
Have fun.

- If your Trainer ID is Odd, you get Run'N'BAM! the Cranidos, who must know & keep Rock Polish, Earthquake, & Rock Slide, & must obtain these three moves before the E4. Have it solo 5 Pokemon in the Pokemon League. No restrictions on evolution.
- If your Trainer ID is Even, you get Wall the Sheildon, who must know & keep Metal Burst, Iron Head, & Iron Defence before the E4. Have it solo 2 Pokemon in the Pokemon League. No Restrictions on Evolution.

Sprocket
P(n) = 1 - (1 - P(1))^n
You may teach it any moves legally obtainable, and in legal combiinations, for a Pidgey in gen4. If you use gen 3 moves, it must be legal (ie no illegal egg move combinations).
Zoso, take an all-physical Ralts. No evolution restrictions.
reserving for Zosodojo777. editting in a min
EDIT: OK, you get a Wurmple. As a wurmple it dreams big, and tries to reach its dreams of evolution quickly, so you must stop everything and train it to lv 7, where it must evolve. But when it evolves, it finds itself confined and does not like its shell; however, it does learn patience, and will wait for the rest of the team to catch up. It will not, however, let itself be 2 lvs lower than the highest lv pokemon in your party. Once it evolves, the challenge depends on whether it's a Beautifly or a Dustox. As a Beautifly, it is obsesed with itself, and makes sure it knows at least two moves that show off its beauty. Also, it must know either a third beauty move, or Attract. The final moveset is up to you. It still refuses to fall behind anyone else by more than two levels, thinking that the lack of power will take away from itself. If it is a Dustox, however, it is much more battle minded, and must know three attacking moves. It can't stand beautifly because of their flaunting, and must solo all Silcoon/Beautifly. When it reaches lv 20 that hatred has grown out of control, and it must solo all bug types. When it reaches lv 35, it finally settles down and no longer holds this hate, therefore you don't have to solo bug types anymore. Also it now holds an undying respect for you and your patience, therefore it wants to serve you as best it can and learns return. Now to prove itself to you it must solo the 8th gym leader and five Elite four pokemon. Once again, the competitive spirit has not died and it still must be within 2 levels of your highest pokemon. Nicknames are optional.
Recap:
-Catch a Wurmple
-stop LVing everything else and level it up to lv 7
-let it evolve
-As Cascoon/Silcoon, you must continue to train, but you can train your other pokemon too
{-As Beautifly, it must know 2 Beauty moves ASAP, and must learn a third beauty move or attract ASAP
{-It still must stay within two levels
[-As Dustox, it must have at least 3 attacking moves ASAP
[-It must solo all Beautifly/Silcoon
[-At level 20-35 it must solo ALL Bug types
[-At lv 35 you must teach it Return(Pacifiglog town) and it doesn't need to solo bug types anymore
[-It now must solo the Ice type leader and 5 pokemon from the E4
[-Still has to stay within 2 levels of your highest
hope that's clear enough.

reserving for Zosodojo as well.
Okay. Take a Mightyena. It may not use: Crunch, Return, Rock Smash, Howl, Facade, Shadow Ball, Hidden Power, Iron Tail, Body Slam, or Snatch. Name it CrapRage.
It must solo...uhh,twelve pokemon belonging to Gym Leaders, Wally, Rival, or E4 members, and at least one of each.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have done one Scramble in the past. It was a complete BS Scramble, with a Exploud+Gyarados combo killing everything after being juiced up on X Items. However, I plan on taking on a second Scramble. In this Scramble, the name of the game is LeafGreen. That's right, it's time for Scramble: Round II.. The rules:
-The game is finished once Mewtwo is captured, not at the end of the E4.
-No drudgery. There is a clear difference between difficulty and drudgery, use common sense.
-I can only trade after getting the National Pokedex.
- You can make it hard, but not impossible. No: "take a Level 2 Pidgey and cuz itz teh kingz uf teh pidgeez it must slol Garry'z Pijeot b4 it hitz lvl 3 troloolozzz"
-There is no Rule 5.
BRIIIIIIING IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

1. I'm quite iffy about. I tend to define a solo as "To kill a Pokemon with one Pokemon without dying or switching out." So I would say no, but I would like to hear other opinions.
2. Technically yes, as you only needed one Pokemon to kill the other, not two. Ironically that contradicts what I define as a solo...
It all depends on whether the goal was to solo a single Pokemon, or a Trainer's entire team. If it was the single Pokemon, then 1 is a no and 2 is a yes. If it was the whole team, which is the general definition of a "solo" challenge, then both are no unless the Selfdestructing/Exploding Pokemon in Example 2 was the last member of the opponent's team.
Lolcat, you get Level 2, the Pidgey!
This Pidgey thinks "itz teh kingz uf teh pidgeez" and as such, must solo every Pidgey family member it comes across, as long as it is of the same evolutionary stage. (Every Pidgey when it's a Pidgey, every Pidgeotto when it's a Pidgeotto, every Pidgeot when it's a Pidgeot) It must also solo Garry'z (Blue's) Pidgey/Pidgeotto/Pidgeot every time. After beating Garry'z Pidgeot the first time, rename it to Level 3.
Oh, and it cannot learn the following: Double-Edge, Aerial Ace, Return or Frustration.
Troloolozzz
Also, sorry Hutch. I didn't see your post telling me to pick something else.
The HM Slave in question is technically part of my challenge.
detroitlolcat: take a Gyarados. it may not know Surf, Thunder, Fire Blast, Blizzard, Earthquake, Strangth, Return, Flail, Dragon Dance.
Tast of your own medecine?
Tast of your own medecine?
Lolcat gets Ka-Boom!!! the Electrode, who must know & keep Explosion (Until then, It must know & keep SelfDestruct).
If Ka-Boom!!!'s health drops below 50% at anytime, it must use SelfDestruct/Explosion the next turn without hesitation. Must solo 3 E4 Pokemon.
Have Fun.

C`mon, everyone give locat some "no good move challenges"! Revenge for the win!
Athenodoros
Official Smogon Know-It-All
Okay, you get a Geodude. It can evolve whenever you want, but can not know Magnitude, Earthquake, Double Edge or Rock Blast. It must always know Defence Curl and Roll Out, and must solo five Pokemon in the league with Roll Out.
By "the Ice type leader" I'm assuming you mean Water type, there is no Ice Gym in RSE.
