I looked through the available TMs when I was making the challenge and I thought it was very doable since you could actually evolve into Nidoking almost immediately upon obtaining your Nidoran M assuming you picked up the Moon Stone from the Ruins of Alph by using Flash. Once you get Nidoking you can immediately fill 3 out of 4 slots with the Elemental Punches since you can buy those from the Goldenrod Department store. However, I didn't realize that Blizzard and Thunder were so goddamn expensive to buy from the Game Corner, or that Thief and Hidden Power weren't available into much later in the game (since in later versions they were always available so damn early lol). How about if I just remove the evolution requirements? Then you can evolve it more or less immediately and move availability will be a non-factor. The idea really was that you'd actually never have to deal with limited attacking options since you could just evolve so quick (it's why I only had you get one move for each evolution), but it turns out getting those early special moves was a lot harder (well, really just grind-ier) than I anticipated.
Still waiting on my final Pokemon. I'd hope that you or Hydrattler might oblige :P. I'm thinking at this point it'd be nice to have something obtainable before the second gym so I'm not just soloing the first quarter of the game with an unrestricted Mareep (since Narcolepsy's restrictions don't really kick in until Castelia... unless I'm not supposed to be able to cure status until I get the Rest TM, which I doubt was what chaostothemax intended). Here's the link if you need it.
