Okay jon_eod, take Fluffles the Mareep for either GSC or HGSS.
Choose a challenge:
1. No evolution
2. No held items
3. No STAB moves
Hope that's fine!
Sounds good, but I'll be using an Everstone to make the no evolution thing easier. Thanks!
So I started working on IAR's Sableye-Solo, Update #1 is below:
Hm, a Sableye, never really put much thought towards using one, should be interesting. Let's take a look at it's movepool. Hmm... Night Shade.. Calm Mind.. Ooh maybe a Toxic-Protect-Rest combo maybe...
Sableye is a pretty bad pokemon in general, stats are very low, and without an evolution to give it a boost, I could never see myself using it outside of this challange.
I decided to go with a final set of:
Calm Mind
Shadow Ball
Night Shade
Filler (Hopefully Psychic, if I can get enough coins)
So I load up the Emerald Randomizer, throw Sableye in as a starter, and manage to roll a Mild poke. Not a bad nature.
First few gyms fly by, astonish and Faint Attack hit almost everything for at least neutral damage, with Night Shade for those pesky Magnemites.
Nothing much to report, so far I have 6 badges and have just witnessed Archie stealing Capt. Stern's pride and joy.
I started screenshot-ing my progress after each gym battle, starting with Wattson, and forgetting to get Norman.

Flannery Progress:
Lv. 50 Stats:
I'll update again sometime tomorrow, so far I have roughly 17 game hours played on a 3x speed emulator.
Over and out
