  • As far as I know there's nothing about this in the OP. In my Abra solo run I genned its least powerful egg move in (Knock Off for Gen 4 I believe). It's what I would do in this situation. I looked Ralts up and it has no damaging egg moves (making it even more annoying), but I'd gen in Will-O-Wisp because you could defeat a Poochyena with it, the only thing you have to do is keep your Ralts alive.
    I don't know if this is allowed either, so if you want to get on with your challenge and be sure I'd guess you could PM the OP?

    Thanks for the response. What I'll probably do is get on with my Silver, and I'll PM Necrum if he hasn't said anything by the time I beat Jasmine. Speaking of which...

    Final Log:
    Made my way through the victory road and defeated Serena, went back to the route north of Ambrette town and found a heart scale, went to the move re-learner and taugh Kalros knock off. Got to the pokemon league without to much trouble.
    The elite four was a bit of a challenge as my pokemon were right on par. First the fire lady, then the knight, then the old dragon master and the last was the cook.
    The champion was the easiest, her hawlucha couldn't do anything to Kalros so I got three Swords Dances up and swept through her team.

    The mid-term exams were coming up, so I took a break for a while. Nibbled enough time to beat Lance, though.

    Single Heartgold Normal challenge 3rd update:
    -Got to dragon's den and got the 8th badge
    -Traversed through Dark Cave
    -Got the Master ball from Prof.Elm
    -Defeated the Kimono girls and got the clear bell
    -Climbed bell tower and caught Ho-oh
    -Released Ho-oh(I don't need it X3)
    -Went to route 27 and 26
    -Climbed up to Indigo plateau
    -Defeated Rival in victory road
    -Defeated Will
    -Defeated Koga
    -Defeated Bruno
    -Defeated Karen
    -Defeated Lance

    So, I defeated Lance.
    I looked up on the other challenges and looks like I defeated Lance a bit too early. It was hard, since my highest leveled pokemon in my party
    when I started battling will was 40 (Takori) and the lowest was 33 (Kentaros)
    And whoosh, Lance uses 6 dragons, all of them leveled way over 45.
    Still, Lance was easy. At least, easier than Will.
    Bruno fell into the Attract+Focus Punch combo a lot easier than expected.
    Koga and Karen was demolished by level 33 Tauros, whose attack got maxed with Anger Point.
    Actually, Tauros 1HKO'd 4 of Lance's pokemon with Anger Point+Take Down. It included his lv 49 Dragonites.
    Current Team (Right after beating Lance)

    Retra(Raticate) Lv. 38, Run away, Male
    -Crunch
    -Super fang
    -Hyper fang
    -Rock smash

    Pijontwo(Pidgeotto) Lv.35 Keen Eye, Male
    -Fly
    -Roost
    -Sand attack
    -Secret power

    Togetic(Togetic) Lv.42 Hustle, Male
    -Extrasensory
    -Shadow Ball
    -Encore
    -Flash

    Kentaros(Tauros) Lv.38 Anger Point, Male
    -Earthquake
    -Payback
    -Take down
    -Zen headbutt

    Takori(Furret) Lv.42 Keen Eye Female
    -Attract
    -Focus Punch
    -Strength
    -Surf

    There. And yes, Pijontwo's still a Pidgeotto. Perhaps I should have evolved him.

    I don't know how to post pictures. If someone will tell me, I'll upload the hall of fame screenshots.

  • Taking a break from Platinum to start White

    Started game, called myself something innapropriate. chose tepig beat cheren and bianca
    went onwards, beat N easily with Bacon the tepig

    got to Striaton City

    VS Cress
    Normally this is easy with the elemental monkey opposite theirs, not the case in a monotype challenge. lillipup was outspeeding and annoying me with bite flinches and i eventually took it down, then panpour set up 2 work ups while i tail whipped then tackled. lived a water gun and tackled again. before a second water gun finished me even if i had used a potion i wouldve died

    Trained up to level 15, learned flame charge

    VS Cress round 2
    Flame charge let me outspeed both his pokes so lillipup was a clean 2HKO. then panpour again set up 2 work ups while i tail whipped and tackled, tackled again and lived a water gun, he healed up so i took the opportunity to hit him with a Blaze backed Flame Charge for a heavy amount of damage before a second Flame Charge finished him.

    went onwards to nacrene city. beat plasma grunts on the way, Bacon evolved into Pignite, learned arm thrust. saved at the entrance to pinwheel forest. currently trying to find a pansear in the shaking grass (5% my butt)

    Current Team:
    Bacon (Pignite) LV 19
    Arm Thrust
    Flame Charge
    Tackle
    Tail Whip

    Depends on if you play on pc or not - If you play on pc take a screenshot of it, than upload it to a site like PhotoBucket [Any image hosting site will do]. Than copy the url of that picture betweem
    tags or click the picture icon on top of the post reply- you will get a pop-up you paste the url there and your picture should be posted.
