So I'm feeling kinda bored, and thus have decided to start my first Scramble challenge! I'd like to have a relatively hard (not near impossible) one, on Ruby version. Just a few rules:
1) On an emulator, so no trading for evolving or version exclusives
2) No NFE
3) 2 available before the 3rd gym
4) 4 pokemon in total
Fire Away! No refusals allowed for me, so the first four people dictate my team. This challenge will end after defeating Steven.
@mamoswineFTW, you get Options the Torchic. This Torchic is all about choices.
-It must replace a move everytime it learns a new move.
-It can learn 1 TM move, but only once.
-It must learn and keep 1 HM move.
-It can only use Revives or Potions, not both.
-It must solo 4 Gym Leaders of your choice.
-It must solo either 2 E4 members or Steven.
-It can evolve into Combusken after the first 2 Gym Leader solos and Blaziken after the last 2.
Good luck!
Sounds like fun. Roxanne will be an absolute pain, unless one of my other assigned pokemon is available before the 1st gym... Maybe I'll just keep it a Torchic for most of Hoenn. Can I use pokemon centers to heal it? And I'm also guessing that Full Restores count as Potions. What about using berries? Full Heals? Thanks!
mamoswineFTW, you get a Zangoose. It may not use any moves with a base power higher than 60 until it solos a gym. In addition, it may not have more than 2 attacking moves, and only 1 may be normal type. Name it FukSeviper. (Or SeviperSux if you don't approve of profanity)
Guess Normal/Flying will have to be my only coverage. Thanks!
mamoswineFTW, you are this new thread's first victim...Of Flapper!
Take a Zubat, name it Flapper. It must hold a Cheri Berry to fight, if it loses it mid-battle, it must switch out, no exceptions. It can evelve whenever, but to evolve again, it must solo 20 Pokemon that carry the Static Ability.
Have fun.
I remember seeing this in the old thread. I actually did an Ultimate Solo Challenge with the Crobat family, so I'm quite used to it. So, to clarify, it can only evolve into CROBAT when 20 static pokemon are defeated? Thanks!
@mamoswine: You get... Mind Pwned the Sandshrew! You must solo 100 water types for it to evolve, using only Fury Swipes. Upon evolving, it suddenly goes insane and thinks that its a combination of Garchomp, Excadrill, Dugtrio and Flygon, and hence it must have the following moveset:
--Excadrill (Rapid Spin)
--Garchomp (Brick Break)
--Flygon (Sandstorm)
--Dugtrio (Fury Swipes)
It must battle for 16 turns in total under Sandstorm conditions in the Elite 4, and must solo Drake's Salamence, dealing the final blow with Sandstorm damage.
I think I let you off too lightly.... just 100 water types? Since you haven't specified any other restrictions on that part, Old Rod Magikarp 100 times is going to be *fun*. I can just tell that Salamence will be even more fun.
So there's my team. Might struggle a bit against Wallace, but away I go!
FIRST UPDATE:
-Picked Options the Torchic, with a naughty nature first time. Means I can go mixed alright, win.
-Defeated May, and everything up to Roxanne's gym with ease.
-Picked up a Zigzagoon to abuse Pickup/HM Slave
-Just before Roxanne, Options learnt Sand Attack in place of Focus Energy, and Peck instead of Growl. Roxanne was pretty easy - spam Sand Attack whilst Geodude Defence Curled, and managed to Ember it to death. Nosepass was treated the same way, and a burn meant that i was able to survive 2 Rock Tombs. Didn't need to use any potions, so I'm free to use either in times to come.
-got through to Dewford, and managed to catch a Jolly Zubat - Flapper. Cheri Berry being held, We're good to go. Update soon
