DahliaNoir You seem to be getting a lot of signature mons, so here's one that'll break the trend because I don't have a signature Challenge.
The Pokemon in question is a Sandshrew named Achiever. It's a simple challenge, really. All you have to do is solo a Gym Leader, along with another few things. To find out which few, flip a coin after catching it.
Good luck! If this is too difficult/confusing, feel free to ask me to change it.
...Oh, and also I'll reserve PSDuckie's last Pokemon, while I'm here.
Something interesting about horde battles is how, in some instances, four Pokemon of one species and one of another can occur. One of these is an arrangement of 4 Zangoose and 1 Seviper in Route 8.
Now, you're probably wondering, "Why did this person just tell me that?" to which the answer is simple: The Pokemon I'm having you use is the Seviper in the above example I gave (tip: find a Pokemon with Sweet Scent. It'll make creating this encounter go much more easily). Call it Elderly (or something similar to that), as it is OLD. In fact, it's so old, it's been around since Hoenn. Anything that came after that, such as Pokemon/moves introduced after Generation III, the Physical/Special split, and TMs numbered higher than 50 are completely alien to it. And the thing is, this Seviper acts very apprehensive about things it doesn't know. What this means long-term is, in the order I listed above, that:
Elderly can't learn/use any moves introduced after Gen 3.
Elderly refuses to battle any Pokemon introduced after Gen 3, with exceptions noted below.
Elderly categorizes moves as physical or special by their type.
Elderly can't learn from TMs numbered higher than 50.
Oh, and one last thing: Elderly has always been unsettled by the Pokemon introduced after Gen 3 on the Route it was caught (the Pokemon being Drifloon, Mienfoo, and Inkay, for reference. Fishing/Surfing/Rock Smash Pokemon aren't being counted for this due to the fact that those Pokemon live on Route 8's shores, while Elderly lived in (and was caught in) the cliff-like area), and acted very hostile to these in particular, to the point where it has decided since adulthood that it would kill (read: solo) any instances of these Pokemon or their later stages.
Good luck to you as well!

This Sandshrew is an overachiever. As a result of its desire to succeed,
it has to solo an entire Gym rather than just a Gym Leader.
it must know four moves of different types ASAP.
it must be the highest leveled member of your party by at least 3 levels ASAP.
it must weaken every Pokemon you intend to capture from the moment it's caught.
it needs to win a master-rank contest.

This Sandshrew is an underachiever. As a result of its lack of effort,
the Gym Leader it has to solo must have a favorable type match-up (that is, either be resistant/immune to Achiever's STAB or hit it super-effectively).
it can't learn any TM or HM moves with more than 60 base power.
it must be the lowest-leveled member of your party by at least 3 levels whenever possible.
it can't be used in Trainer battles if the opponent has a Ground-type.
it must always be in your team's rear slot, except for the required Gym Leader solo
