Challenge Update​

Spoiler

Finally, it's time t' challenge the Mossdeep Gym. The Gym trainers were easily annihilated, and after a quick heal, t'was 'bout time I faced my fears.

Out come Balderdash 'n Dirge to battle against Tate & Liza's Claydol and Xatu. A mighty Hyper Beam ruined Xatu straight away, and Balderdash's Surf hit the incoming Solrock for half health, whereas Claydol only took about a third. Claydol's Earthquake does a third of Balderdash's health right back, but crits Dirge to half health right off the bat. =/ A held Sitrus Berry immediately got Solrock outta KO zone, so I used Slaking's turn of truancy to use a X Special.

... Except, battle items are used on the Poke which turn it takes. There's no choice who t' use it on. Fuck.

Another Surf chips down both Claydol and Solrock into KO range. Solrock takes it's turn to charges a [STRIKE]laser[/STRIKE] Solarbeam without harsh sunlight, puttin' me in a good position to kill it next turn since both my Pokes outspeed theirs. Another EQ hurts though, and both my 'mons are in KO range from another crit.

A quick Soda Pop heals Dirge up quickly, while Balderdash fires off another Surf while Claydol uses a Hyper Potion to heal itself prior. Solrock is down and Lunatone comes out, but Claydol fires off another EQ to put Balderdash in a bad spot. At this point, the game is mine without sufferin' any losses. Excellent.

"Dirge is loafing around!"

"... waitwut??"

It dawned on me that a Truant turn isn't passed after usin' an item. This isn't good. I was counting on Dirge to OHKO Lunatone with it's newly-learned Shadow Ball. Balderdash can't take one crit, and probably not even one Psychic from Lunatone. Another EQ puts both of my Pokes into KO range. My plans just got ****ed hard... I went inactive, played sloppy as a result, and now I reap what I sow.

"Lunatone used Calm Mind!"

... Magikarp be praised.

The next turn, a combination of Torrent-boosted Surf and Shadow Ball ruined the remnants of Tate & Liza's teams in one hell of a close call. If the computer wanted, I'd be outta a valuable team member. Lucky for me, Lady Luck had been merciful this day. With a valuable lesson in regards t' Truant remembered, Mind Badge get!

I hit the "show spoiler" button and almost died when i saw how much there was, the whole thing had me hangin' on the edge of my seat. Glad the challenge is going well.

 

[n0on3]

The challenge is actually to use baby pokemon, like pichu, cleffa, igglypuff, togepi, tyrogue, smoochum, elekid, magby, azurill, wynaut, budew, chingling, bonsly, mime jr, happiny, munchlax, mantyke and riolu. Not sure that riolu is classified as baby but I got this from bullapedia. And as stated there is two challenge options, one is the baby scramble no item nuzlocke, where six pokemon is chosen. The second is the baby scramble single nuzlocke, and the reason this one is allowed to use items is because I will most likely fail without them. So sharksaw I'll give you the chance to repick the challenge if you want, or keep the selected challenge and pick the pokemon. And it will be for pokemon black. And will finally finish my water challenge within 24 hour since all I have left is the dragon gym and then the elite 4.

Challenge Update​

Spoiler

I'm far more motivated to be doin' the Battle Frontier or a Challenge playthrough of Black 2 right now (which I don't have yet anywho...), but 'ey, gotta get this Nuzlocke done. Made my way to the Space Center-whatever place to kick team Magma out. I figured it was a bad idea, but I put Kesumayat as the lead of my party anywho. I mean hey, it's not like Team Magma would have Fire types t' kill a Vileplume with, amiright?

Apparently I was right, since the only Camerupt I were t' fight were owned by Maxie and his Admin. All the grunts had unevolved garbage like Numel or nothin' too threatening like Mightyena. Kesumayat cleaned up en route to the boss. Teamed up with Steve 'n began to mop the floor.

Or... so I thought. 'Cause Swagger is a dick and had Balderdash hittin' himself for three turns. Hyper potions kept 'em out of KO range, but I was thoroughly irritated at this point. A Mightyena from the last trainer also Swagger'd Balderdash into damaging itself for two turns until usin' Roar to force it out. It's a ****in' curse, I tell ya. =/ When Swagger is used against me, I never can make it to my advantage. In competitive battling, whenever I use Swagger my foes get lucky 'n the attack boost bites me in the ass. ****in' hate Swagger... ._.

Finally, I managed t' attack, though now Steven's Metang is attacking itself after setting up Dual Screens. Maxie's Mightyena ate a boosted Mud Shot that I intended to aim at Camerupt but misclicked like a derp, as such it survived. The Admin's Camerupt had been happily using Amnesia the past three turns, now at +6 SpD. Surf wouldn't do much, but I used it next turn anyways to finish off the canine and wound Camerupt to half health. In comes his Crobat. Metang's Metal Claw hits it hard and also gets an attack boost, leaving it at +3 currently. One Surf later and Maxie's Crobat is injured, whereas the Admin's Camerupt faints. Metal Claw obliterates the Crobat. Now it's down to a Golbat and Maxie's star player, a lv. 44 Camerupt (higher level than anythin' on my team, surprisingly...).

I expect attacks from the two foes to put Balderdash into Torrent range; if even that; since he's currently at more than 2/3rds max HP, so I expect Surf to do massive damage. I look away for a moment t' check the time.

"Balderdash fainted!"

WHAT?!?!

 

[zach1325]

Dang, looks like I,m not the only one who lost a team member tonight (sheds tear) but we all have to keep moving forward. Never look back, only forward, He will be dearly missed.

 

[Splash_King]

Bloody critical hits...

Had t' catch a new Surf slave too. =/ None the less a Sharpedo. Laugh Nick, laugh you heartless bastard.

 

[n0on3]

A moment of silence for our fallen friends, it is always my luck to get crit right when it will kill my pokemon, that or bloody confusion.

 

[zach1325]

Is it okay if I use the slugma that primo gives you in my nuzlocke/no items challenge, and is it where I recieve the egg or where the egg hatches for the location recieved?

 

[Splash_King]

Never knew that dude gave out an egg... Ya, gift Pokemon/eggs can be used in a Nuzlocke. Area obtained counts rather than area hatched, so the egg would count as your sole Poke obtained in Violet City.

 

[zach1325]

okay, thanks for clearing that up, and he gives eggs for slugma, mareep and wooper plus some wallpapers if you tell him the right passwords.

P.S, What should I name him?

 

[Sharksaw]

ok..., well umm for the baby scramble
il give u
budew and
mantyke

p.s im doing a nuzlocke on something sometime,
and 26 hours till im 13, i wish time would move faster

 

[zach1325]

Happy almost birthday sharksaw, and for the baby scramble you gett Magby and Tyrogue, good luck!

P.S, That is not my friend code for wii, it wouldnt let me edit my profile unless I put something.

 

[n0on3]

Think I may be early but happy birthday sharksaw, and so far good choices for my challenge. As for my water challenge, I am having a hard time completing it, I simply don't have the motivation to complete it, all that is left is just the elite 4 so I'm not so far away. I think it is because it isn't challenging enough, but it shall be completed, hopefully...

Finally finished my challenge, final level is Poliwrath 60, carracosta 58, Octillery 57, Slowking 56, Ludicolo 56 and Kingdra 49. Play time is 15:04.

Have to say poliwrath and carracosta were unstoppable at the elite 4 and after.

 

[zach1325]

Glad to here you finished your challenge. And are there any name suggestions for my future slugma?
