The Official Pokemon Challenge Thread - Black/White Edition

Oh... Didn't realize ya started the challenge. :lol: Well, since I'm the one who talked ya into it, it'd be rude of me to make you get your first badge all over again, so no, you can just swap Pokemon and continue it as is. It's not like you've had the Dratini for very long anyways.

It would have provided desperate type coverage. I'm not gonna Flamethrower the crap out of the Rock gym. And waters would destroy me. What Pokemon you got in mind?

... None. Figure it out on your own ya lazy fool, it's your challenge, yeah? :lol:

I'm only gonna warn people 'bout failing a Nuzlocke if their choice for the single combination is legitimately hopeless. I'll give advice if asked for, but I ain't gonna give anyone a list of excellent Pokemon to choose from.

CK, no double posting.

I'll have to take a gander at all of the Pokemon again.

What about Salamence?

 

[Splash_King]

CK, no double posting.

I'm curious how that happened, could'a swore I was editing my first post. :lol:

'Mence would work, though it's Slow growth rate is undesirable. It'd be a poor choice if Bagon was as terrible as, say, Dratini (in either moves or stats).

Dragons types... lol.

 

[RockerJ]

If I got a Fire Fang, I think I could do it. How had of a choice would Blissey be?

 

[Splash_King]

feebas-bad

It'd be smarter to go for Earthquake. Ferrothorn isn't exactly OU in-game. :lol:

 

[RockerJ]

Sounds like it'd be too good. I won't use it then. No Pokemon catch my eye. I don't like them. Tell me when you get the N challenge rolling. I'll do it.

 

[Splash_King]

I knew you'd pussy out. Stick to your word or don't say nothin', son.

 

[RockerJ]

Give me a (reasonable) Pokemon and I'll do it.

 

[Splash_King]

Electivire.

Sweet, will continue in a couple of days

 

[RockerJ]

Electivire can suck muh bawlz.

 

[n0on3]

Then how about Nidoqueen?

 

[RockerJ]

Could it be possible?

 

[n0on3]

I believe so, she naturally learns Earth power, superpower, crunch, toxic spikes, and a couple of moves which will help her. She also can learn quite a few TM's, but I don't know how the skill inheritance will affect her, unfortunately Would have suggested Nidoking but he doesn't learn any fighting moves.

 

[Splash_King]

Firstly, Nidoking > Nidoqueen.

Secondly, probably not lol. Nidoking loves his sheer force moves, but you're essentially choosing between BoltBeam/both STABs (the former being wiser, since it'l learn Earth Power eventually by level up). Combined with his low BST and average typing, it's very unlikely you could win a single/Nuzlocke with 'em. It'd be plausible if you grind the **** out'a 'King and overlevel him to the point of OHKOing everything, but he's got Medium Slow growth, which is terrible for such a low BST.

Gen 4 and further back, it's a pretty obvious no.
