Scrambled/Moveset/No Items

I'll give you Vileplume.

VILEPLUME
- Sleep Powder
- Petal Dance
- Mega Drain / Acid
- PoisonPowder / Moonlight

I didn't give any Poison STAB due to poison being physical and the fact that the only poison type move it can learn is Acid. If you insist on having poison STAB though, use Acid and Moonlight. Otherwise use Mega Drain and PoisonPowder

scramble/moveset

I'll give you Vanilluxe and Mienshao.

VANILLUXE
- Hail
- Blizzard
- Uproar
- Acid Armor

I gave Hail to give Blizzard 100% accuracy plus the fact that you'll heal some HP at the end of every turn because of Ice Body

MIENSHAO
- Hi Jump Kick
- Drain Punch
- Stone Edge
- U-turn

Scrambled/Moveset/Unevolved

I'll give you Pigey.

The Gligar Man, update #6
I beat the rival after leaving the cave without any Problems. When I made my way to Lacunosa Town I catched the legedairy Pokemon, because I might need it as hm slave. The double fight against Team Plasma was pretty luck depended because of the Cryogonal. I started with Sandstorm and then luckily dodged 1 attack while Gligar and Emboar took it out. After that I used Sword Dance and continued to sweep the whole enemy team. On the way to the Village Bridge nothing special happened, but I actually lost against a Ranger that comes after that, because I tried to fight him with a paralyzed 50 HP Pokemon That means 1 white out in the fifth gym and 1 against a random trainer -.-' In the next gym I was able to set up a Sandstorm and 3 Sword Dances, so the Pokemon were 3 1 hit k-o's. When I was fighting Team Plasma's leader or what ever he is I had to attack right away, because an Ice attack would probably defeat me. Gligar's level was high enough to one hit k-o them all and I survived 1 Ice Shard with more than half hp. Seems like everything but the E4 won't be a threat to us, thanks to the Lucky Egg. In the last gym I set up a Sand Storm and 1 Sword Dance, because he didn't feel like attacking with water attacks From there it was 1 2 hit and 2 1 hit k-o's.

Gligar level 65
Naughty Nature
Sand Veil
Attacks:
-X-Scissor (attack will get changed to different one if needed)
-Swords Dance (set)
-Sandstorm (set)
-Acrobatics/Bulldoze

Sapphire/scramble/water monotype/no items run - FINAL UPDATE

I'm baaaaaaack!!! Very sorry for the complete lack of progress and updates, but I had college finals... so yeah, that was a thing. But... I have returned, and have completed my sapphire, scramble, water monotype, no items run! Read on for a recap of where I left off, and the story of how (after some attempts I'll admit) beat the pokemon league.

Spoiler

-When we left off I had captured my final pokemon, a badass Kyogre by the name of King Kai in the cave of origin. The whole gang was around level 45 so I felt the time was ripe to take on the final gym
-With King Kai to set up some rainy weather, I managed to defeat Wallace with reasonable ease. It was true that most of my moves were not effective, but then again neither were his. Lady Cray was the star, she cut through his girly water 'mons with pure strength (literally, she used the move strength)
-Wahey, eight badges, Victory road time! Wait, why am I celebrating, I hate victory road! Particularly the Hoenn one. you need to use flash AND rock smash. I subbed The Duke out for my HM slave Zigzagoon, and disregarded flash (making for even more slower progress.) Eventually I crawled out the other side, but my troubles were not over. It was Grinding time (cue epic training montage)
-Another reason why I hate the Hoenn V. Road, there are a severe lack of bulky, easy to kill, high exp, rock/ground types so training was very slow. Eventually I got the team to level 50. I was pretty confident. It was ELITE FOUR TIME YEEEAAAAHH.
-Well. I whited out. Twice. D: First to Drake, second to Steven (I was so close!) The problem both times was to do with the collectively shallow and shitty movepool of my team, even with a Kyogre. With barely any super effective attacks for most of the elite four's pokemon, OHKOs were really hard to come by, and the health of my team was chipped away quite quickly. I especially had a problem with Glacia, her team had the worst typing from my point of view, high HP and defenses. It was really tough and slow going to take her down. By the time I got to the big guns at the end, my pals were so weak (and/or dead) that any missed attack, confusion etc was a death sentence.
-I pulled up my socks, wiped away my tears and retreated back into the dank gloomy victory road (victory my ass) for some serious grinding time. The pokemon who actually achieved anything during my first attempts (namely King Kai, Dr. Walter and Sir. Kipper) were trained to Lvl 55, while for the others, I just leveled them up by one
- Third attempt. Lets go. I learned from my mistakes. I knew which pokemon to use for each leader. King Kai began each battle, setting up some nice rainy weather each time. Glacia was still a pain, and Miss Milly and Lady Cray died, with Dr. Walter severely weakened, but Drake was a breeze (King Kai + Ice Beam = DRAGON MURDER)
- Ah, Steven, we meet again. But this time, YOU DIE. And he did. Dr. Walter and King Kai died in the process (they had been severely weakened from the whole process) But my starter, Sir Kipper really kicked some steely ass, and with a final earthquake from The Duke, the battle had been won.
-CHALLENGE COMPLETE. TWO WHITE OUTS.
-Here is my final team:

Sir Kipper - Swampert - Lvl 55
-Muddy Water
-Earthquake
-Takedown
-Protect

Miss Milly - Azumarill - Lvl 51
-Dive
-Rollout
-Double-Edge
-Rain Dance

Lady Cray - Crawdaunt - Lvl 52
-Crabhammer
-Swords Dance
-Knockoff
-Strength

The Duke - Whiscash - Lvl 51
-Earthquake
-Rest
-Future Sight
-Snore

Dr. Walter - Walrien - Lvl 55
-Blizzard
-Body Slam
-Surf
-Aurora Beam

King Kai - Kyogre - Lvl 56
-Rest
-Hydro pump
-Body slam
-Ice beam
-

Well it was a toughie for sure. The combination of no items, plus monotype meant a cripplingly shallow movepool and was a real challenge, but I enjoyed it overall (despite it taking literally months due to exams )

Anyway, if it's alright I would like to begin a humble nuzlocke challenge on Platnium. I haven't played platinum before, and I always think a nuzlocke is better on a game you are less familiar with. More surprises (both good and nasty) that way.
