Challenge The Scramble Challange

Status
Not open for further replies.
i'm kind of unclear about the exact specifications of the challenge. Am i allowed to ONLY catch the pokemon on the list, the pokemon on the list plus hm slaves, or can i catch whatever i want as long as i replace it with something on the list when i get the listed pokemon? Someone please clear my confusion.
You can catch whatever Pokemon you want, but you can only use the ones on the list, barring HM slaves.

In the event that you can't actually, like, get a Pokemon, you can use others.

But you're lucky and have Bulbasaur and Spearow to fall back on in the early game, so this won't be a problem for you.

In addition, you only have to juggle 5 hms.
Strength, Fly, and Surf are all useful to varying degrees in-game, and Cut isn't that bad either early on. In fact, once you beat Erika and get the Pokeflute, you can scoot your way down to Fuschia and delete it.

Meanwhile you don't ever actually need Flash. Rock Tunnel isn't terribly large and it's mostly easy enough to navigate your way through.

Thanks for clearing that up i'll get to the challenge now.
 
bumping my challenge to the fresh page again...damn things go really fast around here. each time i come back there's always a brand new page on the thread xD

Game: platinum (but i can trade things in. i will have a max of 3 traded in pokes. they will be in eggs unless it is impossible)
1: all pokemon suggested must be able to evolve
2: all pokemon may only evolve once under my care, (no 3rd stage pokes if starting from the base stage)
3: if the pokemon's base stage may not be found in the wild (i.e. magby), then you must suggest the next stage in line (i.e. magmar). thus i will be able to evolve into magmortar, since i started with a magmar under my care. this only applies to the 3 pokes not traded in
4: i do not need my platinum starter poke, but you may suggest the starter if you want.
5: a full list of pokes i don't want: magikarp, any of the base > lvl 7 > lvl 10 bugs, togepi (i may never want to see another togepi again after the last challenge), extremely rare pokes (i am not hunting for a munchlax from honey trees), WOBBUFFET, CHIMECHO, LUMINEON, and of course pokes that don't evolve. the extremely rare pokes do not count for the trade ins, since i probably already have one in my collection.
6: no monotype movesets (give some coverage people...)
7: try and diversify the team. if you see 3 water pokes dont give me another one >_>
8: i would like all pokes to be obtainable, and able to evolve by the time i enter the reverse world.
9: i'll probably end up giving an everstone to every single poke i have, but if you really want a certain item on a certain poke then by all means do it.

Current team
I give you Larvitar. It must be a traded Pokemon from a different game (no egg hatching for you). It must solo either Wake or Maylene while disobedient to evolve to Pupitar!
take a Beldum called Steel Easy. Make sure it is an AgiliTang by the E4. Also, you must use it to solo at least one Gyarados, at any time during the course of the game.
catch a swablu and name it kamikaze. It may not evolve untill it koes one Candice's pokemon and itself with Perish song (meaning you must stay in and let it ko you and your opponent may not ko you before the turns are up or it doesnt count). It may not learn any tm or hm moves until it evolves. Optional: don't teach it sing and perish song at the same time
take a Bonsly (let me know if this is too rare to hunt for) It can evolve once it wastes a pokemon with a super effective move it obtains through mimic. It must keep Mimic forever.
A Skorupi named "Threadshot." All of its attacking moves must be the same type attack. (either all physical or all special)
Catch a Blue Shellos, and give it whatever nickname you wish to give it. It is forbidden from using Recover, or any HM moves that you teach it, in battle.

Ty very much everybody. will start tomorrow. starter will probably be Steel Easy
 
OK then,

Catch a Blue Shellos, and give it whatever nickname you wish to give it. It is forbidden from using Recover, or any HM moves that you teach it, in battle.
 
Guys, for my solo Charizard Scramble whatchamacallit, I'm gonna need some HM slaves, Defog is a must because anyone who says getting to Celestic Town without it is easy is a ____, and Fly wouldn't be too bad either, i don't wanna clog up Zard's moveset. So, i'm gonna have some slaves scrambled, on the double! Conditions are that up to 5 slaves must together have access to all 8 HM's. That means at least one flying, one water, etc.

Fire away. Yes, i know it's a pointless request, but i have nothing better to do. :D
 
Im halfway through my HeartGold game.. and need some Pokemon.

Just beat Ecruteak City. So you know the Pokemon before, near, and past [Olivine].

I have 2 Pokemon. Bayleef and Growlithe. Now it's your turn.
 
Phadunk, take a Gastly. Make sure it's a Haunter before you reach Candice, and if you can, it would be nice if you solo'd Chuck's gym with it.

Heh, i did say i would randomise Charizard's IV's, so i decided to get 6 random numbers off a generator, in the Following order: HP/Atk/Def/SpAtk/SpDef/Spd.

I got 3/6/25/8/5/26. Shit. Both attacking stats are pitiful. Oh well, thank goodness i got a good enough speed. Thank Arceus this Zard won't be too bad.
 
Phadunk, take a Diglett (you can find them in Route 48). In order to evolve to Dugtrio, it must win a Jump Medal in the Pokéathlon.

Candice is DPPt, not HGSS. The equivalent in HGSS is Pryce in Mahogany.
 
@phadunk
take a wooper. it may only evolve if it tanks 10 attacks in one battle, and knows both surf and ice beam

Phadunk, take a Diglett (you can find them in Route 48). In order to evolve to Dugtrio, it must win a Jump Medal in the Pokéathlon.

that's near impossible dude. diglett and dugtrio cannot jump AT ALL, so it will score dead last in all 3 events. in the first two, your other pokes have to pull extra weight since you cant get any points with diglett, and in the hurdles dash, it digs under the hurdles, so it will get no speed boosts and will be the slowest poke in the race (making it last). i've never seen anyone get a legit jump medal on them
 
phadunk: Catch a Magnemite on the Route before Olivine. You must catch it with a Love Ball in the morning (y'know, for lulz). Don't evolve it into Magnezone until you beat the E4.

Right, my bad. I get my Ice leaders confused. They're both just as annoying anyways. :D Must be a Haunter by Pryce, then.

I'm just past Oreburgh now, chose Piplup as my starter so i have something to take care of the water HMs (and SE against my rival too!), thanks to Paradox808 for the heads-up on Dragon Rage, 2HKO'd Cranidos easily.

EDIT: Screw scrambling HM Slaves, i have a Bidoof already.

Also, i'm doing this slightly differently. Since Sprocket was so nice to give me no restrictions on my Charizard whatsoever, i decided to A) evolve to Charmeleon at Lv.38 (37's when Charmander learns it's last level up move), and B) to do it without buying Items from pokemarts. Stuff i find on the ground is fully legit.
 
Phadunk, if you have an extra spot:

Catch an Oddish, it can evolve into Gloom after learning Moonlight (lvl 33), it must always keep that move. If Gloom wants to evolve, it must evolve into a Bellosom. The Sunstone must be obtained in the Pokeathlon. The points you need for it, must be obtained by a team consisting of 2 identical pokemon (+ a 3rd one of course). All points must come from a single part (Jump, Speed, Stamina, Power, '5th thing')
When it dies, you must catch a new one

Have fun
 
As I can't evolve Gastly on my silver (which I assume you're targetting) I must decline, though it sounds fun

Edit: As of now, I have beaten Morty (soloing his Gengar and second haunter with fury cutter), with Milktank the Stantler, who has flash, SunnyDay the Eevee, and Aquarake the croconaw. With Stantler the Milktank, I need one more pokemon.
 
Doing a Scramble run of Leaf Green, nothing too hard please as it's my first time playing through it. Also, no trading.
 
Supermarth, take a ditto. Have fun finding a way to use it. If not taking Ditto, have a Pikachu which must have Volt Tackle asap and can only evolve after KO'ing itself from the recoil. Have fun on your Challange.

Well you don't have a lot of power on your team so far, so take Squirtle named Potter. It can only evolve at max happiness, and it can evolve the second time as long as it has the move Rain Dance.
 
@Super Marth: Take a Mankey, name it ROFLCHOPPER, it must learn and keep Karate Chop, it can only evolve after you critical 5 of any Gym Leaders Pokemon. After it Evolves you can forget Karate Chop, and learn Cross Chop. You cannot have Cross Chop as a Mankey.
 
Rattata called Ratz. That's it. Do with it as you see fit.
Supermarth, take a ditto. Have fun finding a way to use it.
Beedrill. It must have a bug move and a poison move.

Doing these 5 so far (Volt Tackle Pikachu would take forever cuz I need to breed).
HMs so far: HM01 (Cut), HM03 (Surf), HM04 (Strength), HM06 (Rock Smash), HM07 (Waterfall).

I would prefer something with Fly but if not, that's fine.
 
@supermarth64 take a pinsir nammed Bugger. It must learn guillotine and use this as its opening move during any trainer, gym leader, or E4 battle (if you switch him out he must use it again uppon rentering).
 
Sorry for the terrible team supermarth64, in terms of effectiveness as a team and overall creativity

In retrospect i probably should have given him something with more oomph. I have to admit, i really didnt notice how shitty his team was until after i posted pinisr

EDIT: @supermarth64, once i looked at your team again i realized you already have a bug type. If you wish, i can sub out pinsir for a different pokemon cause as your team stands its pretty bad

EDIT 2: @supermarth64, i've already thought of the next pokemon, so let me know if you want to swap out pinisr
