Pokemon Soulsilver Scrambled/Moveset/Monotype Challenge, FINALE
From Brock I moved on to the Cinnabar Island gym. The Rapidash seemed pretty tricky, but I won it with my last hope, Ledian. While I used dig he was stupid enough to use Bounce so I got 3 free hits and my next Gymbadge. From there I went to the Grass gym which wasn't a problem for obvious reasons. The Fuchsia City gym was pretty easy, too with Xatu and a little help of Crobat. Gary/Blue was a hard fight and it reminded me of my battle with Lance in my first challenge. I fought Exeggutor with Butterfree and its Sleep Powder/Dreameater combo, but after he used a Full Restore it got defeated and I had to finish it with Crobat. For Rhydon I left it in and used Screech, so that Honchkrow can defeat it with a Superpower critical hit(these things are reliable ). Pidgeot managed to defeat Honchkrow after a short fight so I used my Pidgeot and somehow won (9lvl difference and it worked???) I poisoned his and was able to use one Return before Pidgeot was defeated. I finnished it with Xatu and then set Reflect for Gyrados. It defeated it after 2 rounds and I switched to Honchkrow. It was trying to use a few Dragon Dances, but a critical after my 5th Nightslash and his Full Restore I defeated it without loosingmore health on Honchkrow. His Arcanine easily defeated Honchkrow with a critical, so I used Ledian to revive it. I played the revive game and it weakened itself with Flare Blitz. When it started to use use Superspeed Honchkrow survived and attack so I could revive 2 Pokemon and the could use Crobat's turn to weaken it with Screech and Butterfree's to revive Honchkrow. Honchkrow either survives a Super Speed or outspeeds Arcanine thanks to the speed ev training(now I'm happy that all the Pokemon in front of Victory Road give you more speed), so I could use Nightslash to finnish its remaining HP( it already was in the orange section because of the Flare Blitzes ) I probably could have made it without the screech, but I wanted to be on the safe side. So this challenge ends with less revives used than the last one, but with having to grind exp and 3 white outs.

Final Team: (sorted by Importance)

Crobat lvl53 (Bashful) with Inner Focus and Poison Barb Honchkrow lvl57 (Careful) with Lucky Bird and Shell Bell

-Cross Poison* -Wing Attack*
-Screech* -Superpower*
-Fly* -Nightslash*
-Bite* -Swagger

Xatu lvl51 (Quirky) with Early Bird and ................. Butterfree lvl52 (Docile) with Compound Eyes and ...........

-Psychic* -Dreameater*
-Hyperbeam* -Bug Buzz*
-Night Shade* -Shadow Ball*
-Reflect* -Sleep Powder*

Pidgeot lvl51 (Sassy) with Tangled Feet and Soothe Bell

-Roost*
-U-Turn*
-Toxic*
-Return*

Ledian lvl54 (Brave) with Swarm and............

-Dig*
-Bug Buzz*
-Focus Blast*
-Light Screen*

Crobat and Honchkrow(I loved the crits ) solved every problem in which I could have had problems with a bit of luck and a lot of power.
Butterfree was useful for enemies of which I couldn't have taken a hit and Xatu was good for a slow aproach due to its defensive attack and a strong finisher.
Pidgeot was a reliable pokemon to stall and slowly tear them down, but didn't have a lot of type advantages.
Ledian is last, because it has relatively low stats even with the good move set most attacks just weren't enough.

Edit: Sorry for the messed up formation in the pokemon part, but I am too lazy to find a solution

You can usually rely on me to give you good pokemon/movesets :thumbsup:

 

[Splash_King]

A good moveset is one appropriate for a Challenge's difficulty... which, in the case'a Challenges not retardedly difficult, a good moveset is a creative one.

That's alright. And BTW my name is Jordan

Remembered no one ever. :lol:

It was tough

pfft

Welcome t' the Hall of Fame, bro.

 

[Koshi]

Welcome t' the Hall Of Fame, bro.

Thanks!:thumbsup:

For my next Challenge, I'd like to do a Monotype Challenge with the Normal Type!

 

[lucktown]

I will make another challenge on Soul Silver, because it will take a while until I get my Gligar for Black 2 and I don't have anything better to do at the moment. This one will be a mono type ice challenge.

 

[Splash_King]

Accepted. Good choice'a type, amigo.

For my next Challenge, I'd like to do a Monotype Challenge with the Normal Type!

Version?

 

[Koshi]

Version?

Same game, Heart Gold!

 

[Splash_King]

Ya should change up versions, otherwise it'l get borin' after awhile. Either way, accepted.

 

[Koshi]

otherwise it'l get borin' after a while.

Edit: But thanks though! :thumbsup:

 

[lucktown]

One does not simply get bored of Pokemon Soul Silver/Heart Gold.
But you're right I'm starting to learn all the trainers with their pokemon and movesets so it becomes less of a challenge and kinda boring.

 

[lucktown]

Is it allowed to breed attacks on the egg that you send over to your challenge save?

 

[Splash_King]

Yep, you're allowed t' breed your Challenge eggs to perfection. Although, breedin' somethin' as strong as say, Cranidos, with a move as good as Earthquake, can kind'a defeat the purpose of a Challenge: to be challengin'. Ain't that right, Koshi? >_>

And yes, I do practice what I preach (for once). :lol: Ya won't catch me breedin' anythin' but good natures outside'a particularly difficult Combined Challenges.

Foolishness, Koshi. Foolishness.

[bou0010]

What am I getting myself into?

For my Black 2 challenge, I'd like to add nuzlocke and no item to make it a nuzlocke/no item/single/scramble/moveset . I haven't started the challenge yet, but I intend to start soon

 

[Splash_King]

That's the spirit, bro.

Good luck with that, Jordan. You might need it.


It will only be a seel with surf, so nothing really game breaking just giving me a quicker start until I get to the hard parts.
