If you remember Nugget Bridge (that one above Cerulian City), you remember that you get a Nugget at the top from the Rocket Grunt. However, he gives it to you as an incentive to join Team Rocket, so he gives it to you before you battle. This means you can use a low-level Pokemon to lose to this grunt, and so battle him as many times as you want and get as many Nuggets as you want. You can also do it in FRLG.
Remember that time I asked for a Platinum challange and ended up arguing with Treadshot?
Yeah, I'm scrapping that one, I never started it and want a different one. All new challenges, as much as I liked that Sudowoodo. Make it moderately challenging, creative, and not cruel. Unless 5 Pokemon are already picked.
-Let everything evolve at least once, please.
-If you reserve a spot, please PM or VM me upon finishing the challange.
-I can trade to evolve.
Slots:
-Take a Gligar. Name it Capers, It must be the highest leveled Pokemon at all times, & it must have this moveset before the E4: Ground Pound: Earthquake/Rock Slide, Power Up: Swords Dance/Rock Polish/Harden, Power Slash: Slash/X-Scissor, Fast Bash: Quick Attack/U-Turn. It must solo a combined total of 15 Gym Leader/E4 Pokemon, & If you evolve it into Gliscor, Your Pokemon will forget Ground Pound & will be replaced by either Roost/Taunt. (Its A Random)
-take a Cranidos named Destroyer. It cannot battle unless it knows at least 2 special attacks. (auramaster)
-Take a Sneasel. It must be named Sneesel. Have it solo four of Cyrus's pokemon combined from the two battles. No evolving. (DetroitLolCat)
-(Chimchar) Doomsday is an emo Chimchar; it always goes on about how it doesn't deserve to live. To prove to Doomsday that life is worth living, you must teach it Return ASAP. Evolve to Monferno after soloing Gardenia, and into Infernape after soloing either Byron or Candice. But beware: if Doomsday ever faints, it will become depressed again and cannot learn/use STAB until after the next Gym. Disregard this warning if it faints against Volkner.
-Bidoof named Billy. Must Amnesia up to +6 and kill one Pokemon in the Fighting or Water gym with Headbutt to evolve. As a Bibarel, has restrictions:
+Attack Nature: Must kill at least 3 E4 pokes with Special Attacks
+Defense Nature: Has to Toxic an E4 poke while surviving until Toxic kills
+Special Attack Nature: Must always have Blizzard and Thunder.
+Special Defense Nature: Must have Superpower and Curse
+Speed Nature: Must carry a berry at all times
+nothing nature: No restrictions (BlisseyofDoom)
-I give you the rarely issued Tropius. No restrictions, have fun with this Pokemon that is banished to NU for all eternity. (Sprocket)

Arcticblast, I feel Honoured to give you my Favourite Pokemon: A Gligar.
Name it Capers, It must be the highest leveled Pokemon at all times, & it must have this moveset before the E4
Ground Pound: Earthquake/Rock Slide
Power Up: Swords Dance/Rock Polish/Harden
Power Slash: Slash/X-Scissor
Fast Bash: Quick Attack/U-Turn
It must solo a combined total of 15 Gym Leader/E4 Pokemon, & If you evolve it into Gliscor, Your Pokemon will forget Ground Pound & will be replaced by either Roost/Taunt.
Have fun.

@Arcticblast, take a Cranidos named Destroyer. It cannot battle unless it knows at least 2 special attacks.
Take a Sneasel. It must be named Sneesel. Have it solo four of Cyrus's pokemon combined from the two battles. No evolving.
reserve one for me Arctic, can't think of one now.
Arcticblast, you get Summers the Sentret. Summers is a sunny little supporter, and he/she supports all his/her fellow team members. As such, by the Elite Four, he/she must have this moveset--
-Helping Hand
-Follow Me
-Cut/Surf
-Sunny Day/Rain Dance/Sandstorm
Evolve by having every other team member net a KO during weather that Summers causes, or by having a team member net a KO on three Pokemon during double battles after being boosted by Helping Hand.
Hope this is creative enough. c:
EDIT: Darn, Platinum, not SoulSilver. >_> Disregard my challenge then, not reserving anymore since I can't think of anything.

All right everyone, ONE SPOT LEFT!! (unless I really hate a challange and refuse it)
Yup.

What do we lose? Our honour? Money? Our marbles?
Okay. @auramaster: I may have to trade over a Skull Fossil, in Platinum the fossil you get is based on the trainer ID.
As you begin your challenge, searching for the Pokemon assigned to you by other users, you will find a Pokemon that catches your eye.
And it is Bidoof.
You love this Bidoof, and you name it Billy.
Billy will grow up slowly, knowing Tackle and Growl when you meet him. But once he starts to level up, he will be great.
Billy really loves being a Bidoof, so you cannot evolve it yet.
You have a no-restriction Bidoof in your party, until you reach the 5th gym. Then, since Billy is sick of getting killed, will set up Amnesia until his SpD is +6 on any of the Gym Leader's Pokemon. The Bidoof will now proceed to hit with Headbutt until either Bidoof or the opponent is killed. Now Billy has proven himself worthy, and he may now evolve.
Bibarel however, comes with restrictions.
+Attack Nature: Must kill at least 3 E4 pokes with Special Attacks
+Defense Nature: Has to Toxic an E4 poke while surviving until Toxic kills
+Special Attack Nature: Must always have Blizzard and Thunder.
+Special Defense Nature: Must have Superpower and Curse
+Speed Nature: Must carry a berry at all times
Have fun with your new favorite pokemon, Billy, and Good Luck with your challenge.
:D

What if I get a neutral nature? Do I luck out?
No, Sprocket, Kipp backed out. Thanks for the Tropius.
I thought you'd already lost your marbles. (I kid, I kid.)
@Arctic: Take Doomsday the Chimchar.
Doomsday is an emo Chimchar; it always goes on about how it doesn't deserve to live. To prove to Doomsday that life is worth living, you must teach it Return ASAP. Evolve to Monferno after soloing Gardenia, and into Infernape after soloing either Byron or Candice.
But beware: if Doomsday ever faints, it will become depressed again and cannot learn/use STAB until after the next Gym. Disregard this warning if it faints against Volkner.
Good luck!
All right, done.
Gligar (there is no way I want to sacrifice EQ) and Sneasel can stand alone, they're strong enough. Oh well. Thanks.

Final Fire Red Update!
Restrictions
E4 Battles!
Pokemon
Restrictions
-for Fire Red bring a Venonat. Name if Affronted.
Your Venonat is affronted because Koga does not a Venonat-line pokemon in this game. In every other generation (if you count Yellow, which I do) Koga has, at least, had a Venomoth. But not this one, and that's racism. Racism is wrong therefore Affronted must solo Koga to evolve (from Vratix)
-Mankey named Rargo. After leaving Mt. Moon, it cannot use any level up moves, or know more then two physical moves, to prove that it's not just any normal Mankey. It also can't evolve unless its ability activates, and must show its strength by attempting to solo Sabrina. If it succeeds on the first try, you can teach it any moves you want. (From Auramaster)
-Pidgey (nothing like a bit of nostalgia for the old hands). It must learn and keep fly, and must solo Giovanni's last Pokemon as a Pidgeot. (From athenodoros)
-Ekans! Take the first one you see. If it has Shed Skin, name it LiqidSnake. it may evolve after healing from status ten times via Shed Skin and soloing three GL Pokemon, one of which must be a GLMP. If it has Intimidate, name it SolidSnake. It may evolve after Intimidating five GL Pokemon (Voltorb, Pikachu, Raichu, Victreebel, Tangela) and soloing any two (Voltorb, Pikachu)of them. As an Arbok (should you choose to evolve it), it must solo an entire Gym, outside of the Gym Leader. It may not be used in that Gym battle. Ignore every requirement here (except that it must be an Ekans) if you are fortunate enough to get an Adamant Ekans, as this Ekans has no need to imitate Metal Gear. (Dummy007)
-I'll give you a Raticate. It must be caught in a Great Ball, on Route 1. Once it learns Endeavor, it must use it every time it switches in. It must never forget Focus Energy once it has evolved. (yaya0)
-Bulbasaur named Blissey. Knows Toxic, Leech Seed, Stun Spore/Sleep Powder (with sleep clause), any attacking move. Calm nature. Solo a gym leader's main other than B or M to evolve into Ivy (Raichu). Solo Sabrina or an Elite 4 member to evolve into Venus. (Iggdrasil)

Blissey the Venusaur, lvl 50
Overgrow
Calm
-Toxic
-Sleep Powder
-Leech Seed
-Frenzy Plant
MVP, despite only having one move. Frenzy Plant is ridiculously overpowered when you can just switch out. Toxic saw limited use, but Sleep Powder and Leech Seed were very useful.
Affronted the Venomoth, lvl 51
Shield Dust
Impish
-Sunny Day
-Solarbeam
-Psychic
-Sleep Powder
Very useful in the E4, especially reviving my team with a quick sleep powder a couple of times. A shame that I couldn't get Silver Wind or Exeggutor would've been cake. Oh well, 2MVP.
yaya0 the Raticate, lvl 50
Run Away
Modest
-Thunder
-Blizzard
-Endeavor
-Hyper Fang
Did relatively little, until destroying Gary. Why can a rat shoot electricity and spit ice? Who knows, but Gyarados, Alakazam and Exeggutor sure as hell didn't like it. Also, haxing Charizard out of Fire Blast for Arbok was key. Definite MVP of that battle, but not so high for the whole Elite 4.
Rargo the Primeape, lvl 49
Vital Spirt
Calm
-Focus Punch
-Earthquake
-Overheat
-Double Team
Meh, he was rather mediocre. I figured Overheat would see more use in the E4, but nah. He was kinda limited because of the bad nature and other members doing what he did better.
SolidSnake the Arbok, lvl 51
Intimidate
Lonely
-Dig
-Rock Slide
-Screech
-Bite
Didn't know Sludge Bomb was only after the E4, which sucked. He mostly did leading and revenge killing, but finished off that bitch of a Charizard for me. Good work Arbok.
Atheno the Pidgeot, lvl 47
Keen Eye
Rash
-Fly
-Featherdance
-Steel Wing
-Return
LVP. Early game beast turned into late game flop. No real surprise here, I'm sure most people saw this coming.
