Senfroz, take a Zigzagoon. Named "Trollolol", because it must ALWAYS have an item equipped (No pickup abuse for YOU! Well, aside from Meowth... :/). It may never learn any attacking moves aside from Tackle (Wait... in MD terms that's about the best move it can have. Ah well.) and possibly Blizzard (No Wondermailing in the TM though).
And if you go into the postgame, I will allow it to learn ANY TM (No other level up moves that deal damage) and evolve, but as a cost you must keep it alive for 1 AT LEAST 40 floor dungeon WITHOUT using a Reviver seed on it. And if you don't, your run is unsuccessful.

Simplicity Fail. Try less specific conditions next time.
Well, that was epic.
I easily beat Roark with my Piplup, and rushed to smash Team Galatic.
Easy, until Mars.
My team at this point:
Sargeant: Lv 16 Piplup
ROX: Lv 14 Onix
Combee.Jr: Lv 15 Kricketot
I start with Combee.Jr, because he's close to leveling, learning Bug Bitre, and being allowed to evolve, and instantly switch out to ROX. However, he gets Toxic'ed, but still OHKO's the Zubat. [And outsped... lolwhat?]. Then, Purugly came out. Fake Out -> Feint Attack + Miss of Rock Throw + Toxic Damage killed ROX.
Wait, this isn't Nuzlocke, ROX is just out cold.
Anyway, I know I'm in a tight spot now. Piplup's best move is Bubble, which is gonna do nothing... and Kricketot won't live long enough for Bind.
I send out Sargeant, and use... Growl. Yes, Growl, then Bubble. Sargeant is 3HKO'ed, and deals a little damage.
I sed out Combee.Jr, and use Bind.
Scratch... deals 15 damage. I have 25 HP left.
Feint Attack... deals 16. 9 HP left.
Combee.Jr Unleashed Energy!
Foe's Purugly Feinted!
Combee.Jr gained 666 EXP! [Seriously... hacked Purugly gives Number of the Devil in EXP? Co-incidence?]
Combee.Jr grew to lv 16!
Combee.Jr learnt Bug Bite!
*Watches bar go up, and wonders what happens if I go to lv 17, as this violates 'Must evolve at lv 16'*
Bar stops about 1/4 away from Lv 17.
What, Combee.Jr is Evolving!
Well, the little bug actually EARNED it's evolution, instead of just sitting there, leeching EXP for once, and it couldn't have come at a better time.
I... don't know. But at least your Gligar can take on Snover. I have to take on Abomasnow... with only Gligar's level-up movepool, even if I don't have to solo. Notice both Sneasel and Gligar evolve in similar ways too?
Oh, and Sneasel soloing makes sense, and shouldn't be too hard. Candice is the 1st gym after you get Seasel, and she has Froslass, so Feint Attack will deal with it easy. [Especially as it abuses Snow Cloak + Double Team... ugh]
Oh, and I intend to keep Piplup as Piplup until it learns Drill Peck, seeing as otherwise, I'd have to wait until lv 46, by which time, I'm usually at the E4, or at least would be fighting Volkner, in which case Drill Pek = suicide. Loopholes FTW, I'll be able to Drill Peck Snowver!

OMG!!!
Ahem. Anyways, damn, i was hoping that that Kricketot would a be a useless piece of crap. I am known for giving out hard challenges, after all, but it looks like i failed this time. :(
I hope Kricketot dies soon. lol j/k

Good. Nice to see that bug being useless again. I almost thought the pokemon world had turned itself upside down there. Phew. All back to normal, then. :)
I actually specifically said Prinplup had to be the one to use it in my challenge. I suppose I did not word it in such a way that you could not halt evolution but I did say that it had to be in second stage to meet the requirements, so the spirit of the challenge feels sad. You made the spirit sad, good fucking job.
So, just as a general question to everyone: What's the limits on Day Care Usage? I ask because after my challenge, i had a Lv. 21 Bibarel, which is, i'm sure you'll agree, hopelessly under levelled against the E4. If i'd left it in the daycare whever i didn't need HM's, though...
Needless to say, it might have been useful. Or at least i would've trained Ta Buzz without leeching off of my other pokemon.

Well, I'm done my Fire Red challenge now. In case anyone forgot, here were my restrictions.
-Arbok nicknamed King (if it's male), or Queen (if it's female). Every time you find a TM that it can learn, regardless of what move it is, it has to learn it in place of its least recent move learned. You don't have to start doing this until it's an Arbok, though. While it's an Ekans, it can know whatever moves it wants, but once it evolves, it learns every TM it's compatible with.
-After getting the super rod fish up a poliwhirl. you may only catch ONE (not multiple for a good nature). if it has the ability waterabsorb evolve it into poliwrath immediately. if it has the ability damp then you must trade it for the jynx in cerulean. the jynx cannot learn any normal typed moves (all normal moves it already knows must be deleted ASAP)
-Fire starter from me, both nicknamed Flare. They both must use Ember at least once on the rock gym leader's Geodude to evolve to their second stage. Charmeleon cannot evolve further until it solos Erika
-Lapras, no moves by level up
-Get an Oddish and evolve it into Gloom when you please, however to evolve it into Vileplume you must have Gloom participate (can be sent in then switched out if you want) against every one of Blaine's pokemon. Gloom/Vileplume must always have 2 non-attacking moves at all times. YOu must get rid of sleep powder asap.
- Scyther named Mantis. Must know Fury Cutter (Only bug move it can learn by level) ASAP, at least one move by TM. No evolving. Cannot hold a berry and can never lead in a battle.
Here is the story of my Elite 4 and Champion battles.
Lorelei
-Led with Lapras against her Dewgong, knowing Dewgong could do nothing about it. 4 Shock Waves later and Dewgong goes down.
-Cloyster comes out and I switch to Charizard. Flamethrower brings it down to a sliver as it gets Spikes down. I sub up as she heals Cloyster, then flamethrower again followed by focus punch. My sub is broken in the process
-Lapras comes out now and I switch to Jynx and use fake tears. Body slam paralyzes me, so I sac Jynx. I bring out my Lapras and after 3 Shock Waves, her Lapras goes down.
-She brings out Slowking who goes down to the red from Vileplume's Solar Beam and is then KO'd by Scyther's Aerial Ace after VP goes down to Ice Beam.
-Finally, her Jynz is OHKO'd by Scyther's Steel wing.
Bruno
-Onix is OHKO'd by Lapras' Surf.
-Hitmonchan comes in so I switch in Arbok. I use Toxic and he counters, so I use double team 5 times as he continues to counter, then use return to finish him off.
-He brings out another Onix and Arbok is seemingly unstoppable now. I use toxic + earthquake and he magically hits me with one EQ, but I live. He goes down after 2 EQ's.
-Machamp comes out and since I don't fear guts, I use Toxic again. He hits me with a Rock Tomb on the 4th turn of poison. I bring in Jynx to finish him up with Psychic.
-Hitmonlee narrowly avoids the OHKO from Psychic and KO's Jynx with brick break. Knowing he'll heal, I swords dance with Scyther and OHKO him with Aerial Ace.
Agatha
-I lead with Charizard and Substitute as she double teams. Flamethrower 2HKO's and my sub is still up.
-Golbat comes out and is 2HKO'd by flamethrower as well. Sub still up.
-Arbok is next and finally breaks my sub. Still no damage taken as I 3HKO Arbok with Flamethrower + Fly
-Next Gengar comes out and I try to sub, luckily he misses the Hypnosis. After a flamethrower as he hypnosis' the sub (lol), I decide to sub to activate blaze in case he attacks. He does and Blaze is activated, flamethrower now has enough to KO Gengar.
-Haunter is OHKO'd by Flamethrower. Way to go Charizard...
Lance (use an elixir on Charizard before this)
-I lead with Lapras against his Gyarados. He Dragon Rages and bites to do very little damage while Shock Wave barely misses the 2HKO somehow. I Ice Beam as he heals so that Shock Wave can 2HKO. He DR again folowed by HYPER BEAM leaving Lapras with 2 HP. Gyarados goes down
-I switch to Arbok only to Intimidate Aerodactyl, knowing he only has physical attacks, then heal Lapras. He AncientPowers 3 times and I miss toxic, then send in Lapras for the fallen Arbok. Surf 2HKO's as AP does roughly 3/5 to Lapras after two hits.
-He brings in Dragonair and I bring in Jynx. Ice Punch OHKO's.
-The second one lives with like 1 HP and KO's Jynx with Hyper Beam. Scyther comes in a finishes of Dragonair.
-I sac Scyther to Dragonite to heal Lapras again. He uses Wing Attack (2/5's) and I ice beam. He doesn't die, but is frozen. Lum berry means no potion as he goes back into the yellow, so Ice Beam finishes him off.
Blue
-I lead Lapras against Pigeot. 2 Aerial Aces don't even do half and Ice Beam 2HKO's.
-He brings in Rhydon (?), so I surf for the OHKO.
-Now comes Exeggutor so I bring in Charizard. I sub up, hoping he'll use sleep powder. He does. He uses Light Screen as I use Flamethrower. I use Fly next turn to stall out some of that LS turns.
-Blastoise now, so I have to switch out of the sub :(. I bring in Vileplume, finally and set up Sunny Day as he Hydro Pumps. I solarbeam, he rain dances. Hydro Pump misses (lol) and I sunny day again. Light Screen is done now, and Solar beam narrowly misses the KO. His sitrus activates as he sets up rain dance again. He heals as I sunny day again, my last one. SB does 2/3 and Hydro Pump finishes off Vileplume. I bring in Lapras to finish him off. Unfortunately he heals again, so I do as much damage as I can before Lapras goes down. He is out of HP now, so I bring in Arbok to lower the damage on Skull Bash. I Toxic as he Rain Dances, then he full restores AGAIN (FAAAAAAAAAAACK). Since I'm sick of typing about Blastoise, the final outcome is him dying of Toxic as Arbok has +5 on double team.
-Alakazam is out. I like my odds of him missing, so I stay in with Arbok. He misses once and Return does half, then he kills me with Psychic. Scyther barely misses the KO, and he heals AGAIN. HOW MANY DOES HE HAVE!!!! I bring in Jynx and Max Revive Lapras. Apparently his only attack is Psychic, which takes 3 hits on Jynx so I fake tears in that time. I bring out Lapras who finishes him off in one surf.
-Finally, Arcanine's turn. Surf 2HKO's.
CHAMPION!

MVP goes to Lapras, who destroyed Lance and was extremely useful in beating Blue. Close second to Charizard who solo'd Agatha.
LVP goes to Vileplume, who contributed in the E4 a total of two times and failed in finishing off two water types those two times. Being KO'd by a Blastoise and a Slowbro are not shining moments.

Don't see too many Lapras. Nice to see it kicking butt. Good job finishing the challenge!
Pokesephy, your starter can be Chikorita and it must be female. It can't evolve until after Whitney (nothing special there). It must know and keep Poison Powder. After beating Whitney, teach your starter Attract. To evolve into Meganium, it has to beat any Pokemon only using Poison Powder and Attract. After that evolution, you can forget Poison Powder, but you must keep Attract. The other 3 moves are your choice from then on.
I'm going to be super nice about the pokemon I give you.
Pokesephy. Catch a Mareep. It cannot evolve until reaching level thirty using no daycare. To evolve again it must know three attack moves and one status move, one of which is STAB. It may not be an Ampharos until level 45, though.

Hey PokeSephy, catch a Wooper, name it "Shoop da" It must keep Mud Shot as long as it is a Wooper. It can only evolve if you demolish Whitney's Clefairy with Mud Shot. It can never learn Yawn. When/If it evolves into a Quagsire, it must know Hyper Beam ASAP.
