The Official Pokemon Challenge Thread - Black/White Edition

I am doing the monotype(ground)/no item/nuzlocke at the moment and it's not clear if I can use Pokemon that evolve into a ground type, but don't start as one (Turtwig) and if not can I keep it and give it an exp share later on until it evolved into Torterra?

Turtwig is a valid Pokemon for Monotype (Ground). So long as a 'mon evolves into your Challenge's designated type eventually, it may be used so long as ya eventually use that form for the Challenge.

In other words, if your Challenge was Monotype/Unevolved, Turtwig would not be usable since it'd never gain it's Ground-typing.

Solo challenge

my solo run

... Why do ya's call it solo?

Diamond monotype(ground)/no item/nuzlocke challenge, Update #1
I started with Turtwig, because it will make the rival fights easier and I can maybe use it for my challenge. I did the the whole tutorial stuff and then caught a Geodude in the cave north of Jubilife City and trained it to level 8 before challengenging the rival. He didn't do much to me and his Chimchar only used Leer, but I defeated it with a critical before he got to use another move.I made my way to Oreburgh City and almost lost to Budew and Machop, but luckily none of them attacked a second time. In the Oreburgh mine I was looking for an Onix, but when it was half HP I didn't manage to catch it. I used a couple more Rock Throws to weaken it, but one a critical defeated it... Now I have to wait until the Iron Island to get one... The gym was really easy with Derpwig.


Johnson (Geodude) lvl13 with serious nature and Rock Head
-Tackle
-Defense Curl
-Rock Throw
-Rock Polish

Derpwig (Turtwig) lvl 14 with adamant nature and Overgrow
-Tackle
-Withdraw
-Absorb
-Razorleaf

... Why do ya's call it solo?

Solo is almost the same as Single, isn't it?


Diamond monotype(ground)/no item/nuzlocke challenge, Update #2
The fight with Team Plasma was no problem, but I had some close fights with the upcoming trainers. The Kricketot of the Bug Catcher almost defeated Johnson, because my second tackle missed(happened in much more than 5% of the tries... more like 60% hit rate) he was able to attack with Bide, and almost got it down. The upcoming Team Plasma fights were easy. The executive had 2 criticals with scratch on Purugly, but Johnson survived with 4 HP in the end. After another level up against the trainers north it asked me if I want to teach Selfdesdruct http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dBl9vojjr1E/T0GSE2ZqLCI/AAAAAAAABJs/wTObLxe5Qrs/s1600/*****+Please.gif

-Absorb
-Razorleaf

And another question... Am I allowed to trade to get a Golem? (That sounds dump, but it says that trading is only allowed to get an egg and only the speedrun rules mention that trading to evolve a Pokemon is allowed)

Diamond monotype(ground)/no item/nuzlocke challenge, Update #3
I went through the Eterna Forest and easily defeated everybody with Johnson. On the route after that wanted to fight the fishers. IT'S THE MAGIKARP TRAINER!!!!! Needlessly to say that I lost... I replayed the challenge to this point and skipped this trainer. For the gym I used Derpwig (Grotle by now). For the leader I used Curse a few times and then took everything out in 2 hits and took hardly any damage doing that. In the Galaktik building I used Geodude all the time and didn't bother healing, because I thought it wouldn't be a problem... Roll Out missed (thought it was no big deal at first)...
"The foe's ZUBAT used Giga Drain"

WTF Johnson died and I fought it with Derpwig. When Zubat was defeated I had to fight S****ank (love the censor) and lost... Why did this stupid Onix have to die...
Next try

White Out Counter:1

Aye, trade evolutions are allowed. Forgot t' list that in rule 1 in General Rules...

That really sucks. I didn't even know Zubat could learn that. At least you got revenge for a lost friend

 

[Splash_King]

T'is often the largest cause for deaths in a Nuzlocke ('sides crits or misses), a surprise move ya didn't think a Poke learned. Happens to the best of us.

 

[lucktown]

I usually never use Rock/Ground Pokemon, so it never used this move in a previous run :/
I know for the next time...
Nuzlockes don't like me... Just lost to the first Youngster and his triple crit Starly 0.02%...
Lost tries:2

Well, I decided: why not do two challenges at the same time? So I am gonna start a Pokémon Black 2 Randomizer Nuzlocke soon. It will have all pokemon, TMs, types, levelup moves, and trainer pokemon randomized. Which is awesome. and pretty challenging too.

 

[lucktown]

How do you get trainer Pokemon randomized?

 

[thijsel]

there is a thing called "universal pokemon randomizer" that can do that to all pokemon games.

[lucktown]

I think that wouldn't count as challenge, because it could end up pretty easy for you. You wouldn't have to bother updating here Have fun with it anyways

I got that Starly back with 2 crits

 

[thijsel]

hrm. Well, Hugh's Dark-type Slowpoke just used Hyper Beam on me... this would be somewhat of a challenge since, at any moment, any pokemon could use ANY move. and I won't possibly be prepared for it. So I expect a few loses and a LOT of deaths

 

[Koshi]

Can I suspend my challenge please? =/

It's not boring, but... Ok... But, yeah... Can I?
