@skwog, you want hard?
-Catch a geodude, name it "Rock Hard" *

-To evolve into a graveler it must solo 3 gym leader pokemon. *
-Cannot evolve into Golem.
-Lastly, it must explode against 2 of reds pokemon (hint, bring revives).
Good luck.
@Skwog, take a male Gyarados called Horace. Horace was always a bit of a whimp, so as a Magikarp he never attacked anyone. To evolve Horace has to have survived 3 turns with a higher level pokemon in battle. As a Gyarados, Horace became vicious, losing all fear he had before. As a result, Horace only used psychical attacking moves and never ever fled or switched out of a battle, not wanting to turn his back on an enemy or let them take advantage of his, as a result, every time Horace faints as a Gyarados, he must defeat 15 Pokemon with only his lowest power move (after calculating STAB), before he can use any of his other moves. If more than one move has the same power, he must use the one which is least effective, if they are the same, then he can use either.
Recap
As a Magikarp:
-Can't attacks (lol@Tackle) *
-Must survive 3 turns in battle with a higher level Poke to evolve *
As a Gyarados:
-Can only use physical moves ~
-Can't switch out or run away ~
-Every time he faints, he must defeat 15 Pokemon with only his lowest power move (after calculating STAB) before he can use any of his other moves. ~
@Skwog
-Bring a Growlithe named Yips.*
-The only fire attack it may know is ember*
-Must KO two pokemon belonging to the Elite 4 with Ember.
Switched it back to Growlithe as it originally was. I put one of my Kangaskhans on the GTS and got a Growlithe, so I'll breed it and use its baby.
Summary of Events:
Sixth Badge:
Seventh Badge:
I'm dealing with Team Rocket in Goldenrod right now. Mainly using Rock Hard to help get him up a few levels. The battle with Petrel was a pain since I don't have any decent attackers against defensive Poison types. Just entered the basement and battled my rival. Nothing too exciting. This part of the game has always been boring to me. The story is great, but I don't particularly care for constant battling. I'll finish this up in a bit though and proceed to grind up FluffStar some more so she can solo Claire.

A few hours of grinding and lots of Voltorb Flip games the get Swords Dance and FluffStar was at a decent enough level to take on Jasmine as part of her challenge.
This was probably the most frustrating battle I have had in a very long time (in-game, that is.) I gave FluffStar a Quick Claw knowing she would be paralyzed and needed to get the occasional hax and go first. Problem is, I would typically get parahax on the same turn I would get the Quick Claw boost.
After about ten or so tries I finally managed to beat Jasmine with a few lucky crit +6 razor leafs.

Seventh Badge:
Lots of boring stuff. Went to Lake of Rage, grinded up Horace and Rock Hard for a bit. Blah blah blah. Went into the Lake, used Duranga to weaken the Red Gyarados, then switched to FluffStar and she attracted the serpent so I could safely chuck some Net Balls at the thing. Caught it, talked to Lance.
Went to the Rocket Base in Mahogany and used Horace to easily deal with the Rocket Grunts. When in the double battle with Lance and the Rocket executive, I thought it would be nifty to see what would happen if I faint his Dragonite. Turns out that thing is a tank, and I couldn't kill it before it killed all the other Pokes.
Proceeded to enter the gym and swept through the gym trainers with Horace. When it came to battling Pryce, I lead off with Horace to kill the Seel, then used FluffStar to kill Dewgong, and finally killed Piloswine with a combination of the two of them.
