Challenge The Scramble Challange

[Iggdrasil]

EDIT: Igore my post, it was the wrong person... that was embarrasising X|

 

[yaya0]

OK. I have all 6 plus one reserve now, so I'm about ready to start. The game will arrive this week, and I'll just pick it up and play.

 

[Its_A_Random]

Still debating what to do.

You can always catch a random Pokemon in the wild & use it as a slave. In my recently completed Pearl Scramble, I had to catch a Bibarel & use as a HM Slave, as the only Pokemon I had that could Surf had a set moveset.
I'm pretty sure there are no rules saying you can't catch a non-scramble mon & use it as a HM Slave...

 

[chocolate-kipp]

Dude, really? Would you do this, cause I know I sure as hell wouldn't.

Keep in mind none of Brock's Pokemon actually use Rock-type moves, and Pidgeotto is good in-game for quite awhile.

This is true only in original red/blue. In FR/LG at least his Onix (and possibly his Geodude) know Rock Tomb.


-Edit-

Also, Congratulations Dexington. Can't believe I forgot to mention it.
Actually, I can, I started feeling sorta bitter around round 5 or so. Anyway:
Congratulations, you did a great job. Congrats.

As for the regs tourny, I'd love a chance to make my good name back.

The adventure so far in text...

Hide

So, after a long hiatus, I got going again, & went to Route 110 to get the Electric type solo for Khan (Combusken). Khan beats an Electrike. I then deal with the trainers on the first part of Route 110 & Route 103. Part way through, my Lolcat (Abra) suddenly evolves into a Kadabra! No more bait & switching for him, now its Atheno's (Magikarp) turn to Bait & Switch. I then go into that Trick House & beat the trainers there. After healing at Slateport, I then pressed on through Route 110 when I encounter that May girl & challenge her to a battle.

I sent in Atheno while she sent out a Shroomish. I switched in Khan, who took the incoming Absorb, to quickly KO with Peck.
Next up was Marshtomp (Insert meme here), & I bait & switched Atheno into Lolcat, who was quickly 2HKOed by Mud Shot.
So I sent in FrostGull (Wingull), who eventually sank Marshtomp after I used a Super Potion on it, with FrostGull using Wing Attack, & Marshtomp using Water Gun.
I bait & switched Atheno into FrostGull again for Numel, who quickly dispatched the camel with Water Gun, winning me the Batle & an Itemfinder.

After that, I eventually made it to Mauville, where I healed up, got a Mach Bike, defeated the Trainers on the Cycling Road, & found that lucky Wally guy, who had a Ralts. I battled him, quickly dispatching him with FrostGull. After that, I dealt with the trainers on Route 118, those Winstrate randoms on Route 111, & the Trainers on Route 117. Halfway through Route 117, Atheno evolves into Gyarados & that meant no more bait & switching for now. After that, I then go into Mauville Gym & deal with the trainers in there, & after healing up, I took on Watson for Badge #3.

I sent in FrostGull while Watson sent in Magnemite. FrostGull tries to confuse Magnemite, but fails & gets OHKOed by Thundershock.
I sent in Khan to deal with Magnemite & he survives two Sonic Booms to 2HKO with Ember.
I send in Atheno to use as Death Fodder against his Voltorb. I fully heal Khan with a Super Potion while Voltorb 2HKOes with Spark.
I then send in Lolcat, who quickly OHKOes Voltorb with Confusion.
Last was Magneton & I send in Khan to try & get the Gym Leader Fully Evolved Pokemon solo. Khan survives a Shock Wave & halves Magneton's health with Double Kick. I then use a Super Potion on Khan, but it amounted to nothing as Magneton used Shock Wave again. So I give up the solo opportunity by switching in Lolcat & using him as Death fodder to top up Khan's health. I succeed in doing so as Lolcat gets 2HKOed by Shock Wave.
So it comes down to this, if the next Shock Wave hits, then I lose the battle, as Khan is 2HKOed by Shock Wave under normal circumstances, & Magnetoon is in KO range with Double Kick. I send in Khan & hope for the best. Magneton uses Shock Wave, but it does normal damage as Khan KOes with Double Kick, winning me the battle, the Dynamo Badge, & the TM for Shock Wave, Which I immediately teach to Lolcat.

After that, I heal up at the Pokemon Centre, knowing that the G.L.F.E. Pokemon Solo would have to wait, if I'm not mistaken, th next opportunity is against Norman. So, I now have Three Badges, & I'm now ready to head north of Route 111. And that's where we leave off...

And the Team...

Comments: Doing well since evolution. Cannot evolve any further, but for now, Lolcat is doing very well for me.

Okay, that concludes a long overdue update for this Scramble, will start the Pearl No-Evo Scramble that I have been waiting to do soon. :)

 

[Athenodoros]

As for the regs tourny, I'd love a chance to make my good name back.

And I'd love a chance to lose one. Just if we are looking for interest.

Also, I like that Torchic in Its_A_Random's team.

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Alright I am about to go to Kanto to take on the Pokemon League. Most of the team needs to get five or six levels before the league excrpt for Typhlosion who is at 45 And Octillery, who I`m not even going to bother to use until the second set of badges, because of how late I got it, and because I don`t feel like spending four hours on Voltorb Flip (this coming from someone who is actually good at the game, although I do have the worst luck with it).

 

[Its_A_Random]

Alright, I'm officially starting my Pearl No-Evo Scramble Challenge!

• Shinx (Lailaps): Must know Return (Athenodoros)
• Piplup (Mr Penguin): Must be male. Must solo rival's main Pokemon at each battle. Once Surf is learned, it may never learn another level up or Water type move (Sprocket)
• Buneary (Larolla): When it learns a level up move, the oldest move is replaced. It is to be taught exactly 2 TM's/HM's after each gym, starting with the 2nd. Cannot learn more than 2 TM's or 2 HM's at any time (auramaster)
• Misdreavus (Missy): Can only learn & use STAB moves. For it to learn other type attacks, you must own an Unown of an appropriate HP (Paradox808)
• Hippopotas: Cannot use Normal-type moves. If it has one, it must be overwritten ASAP (DetroitLolcat)
• Starly: Must have a moveset of Quick Attack/Agility, Whirlwind/Endeavor, Brave Bird/Take Down & Fly before Palkia. Must Solo Gardenia at a level below 17, Maylene below 33, & One of Volkner's Pokemon (Chocolate-Kipp)

Good Luck me.

 

[Dexington]

Keep in mind none of Brock's Pokemon actually use Rock-type moves, and Pidgeotto is good in-game for quite awhile.

As Vratix said, Onix knows Rock Tomb. Not only that,, but Pidgeotto needs to rely on sand attack to beat any rock type in early game. And against electric types? That challenge is just ridiculous, and I sure as hell would not want to play through with a Pidgey.

 

[DracoMihawk]

yea can i request a new firered scramble challenge, one that's not generated around 1 type and no stupid bug-types especially those that are only useless until i beat the game. :P

 

[zdrup15]

Sure, why don't you tell us what pokemon you want and we give them to you?
That's not the spirit of the Scramble Challenge man...

I give you TMNT the Squirtle. TMNT can't evolve. That's all.

 

[DracoMihawk]

but it's a really unfair challenge compared to others but fine ill keep doing it.

EDIT: at least change the cheap pidgey challenge and my swords dance beedrill since it doesn't get swords dance until seven island which is after i beat the game

 

[doomvendingmachine]

Blamon, I think it's fair to ask for a replacement of that ridiculous pidgey, but not the whole scramble.

 

[zdrup15]

Blamon, I think it's fair to ask for a replacement of that ridiculous pidgey, but not the whole scramble.

Of course, the Pidgey is obviously ridiculous. I just don't understand why he wants to change his team. But it's his decision.

 

[DracoMihawk]

ok i'm getting rid of that fricking pidgey, most of the team i don't mind. except being so flying oriented.

Post your team so that people can see what are your main weaknesses and cover them. It's what everyone does!
