Question of the thread: Do you ever handle caves in a special way? Such as different floors having different encounter pools?

Challenge Run Idea: Only Pokemon that are available in caves allowed.

Continuing my first Nuzlocke from last thread.

Last Gaven to a Druddigon in the Gym. This could've been avoided by either playing better or getting him that one extra level to evolve (I think? Unless Eviolite Duosion is bulkier than Reuniclus). That hurts a lot.
The Gym battle vs. Iris was not hard, but it did take far too long. Mikiko dealt with Fraxure immediately (This worked on every Fraxure in the Gym, but it is a bit scary when Icicle Crash is only 90% accurate)
For Druddigon, she then Charmed Druddigon down to -6 ATK, and I tried to set up Quiver Dance with Alberta against it despite it having Dragon Tail. As I learned, it won't really use it unless you're +2, so I wanted to get two stacks, put it to sleep and get a third. This worked once, putting it to half health. Every other time Sleep Powder missed on Druddigon woke up immediately.
Once that failed, I made sure to take it down with Ted, so he can use FeatherDance on Haxorus. Two times in Dragon Tail forced a switch to Chance and with Haxorus at -3 ATK, Chance could just hit it 4 times for the win.

Just the Victory Road and the endgame left. I feel like I'm lacking in ways to easily deal with most of the E4, but we'll see.

On Insanity mode, pretty much every major fight beginning with Korrina will use one. On normal it will start with Ramos. In the first two Lysandre fights he won't use them in either version.
So about 23-25 trainer fights with megas? Roughly

Update: I haven't played as much as I thought I would yesterday and today, so I'm only at Brawly.
Grinding everybody (Save maybe Surfster) to the level cap of 19, I don't want to take any risks.
Grinding's making me impatient tho (5:24 game time already, but obviously less real time cuz fast forward), so I'm likely going to take a nap after this post and get back to it.
I think I can use Crunchy to bait Fighting attacks, therefore stopping Brawly's Meditite from setting up Reflect or Light screen as well as free switches into Aquabirb and/or Domino who resist Fighting and can lay the smackdown.
I caught Leviathan the Magikarp while fishing, so this will probably be Lluvia's last fight before being converted into our HM Mule.
>>51253914
That's why I put on Dupes Clause (we're both running Emerald coincidentally), That way I guarantee a more varied team. It also stops me from having 6 Belly Drum Linoones, that I could sweep everything except Phoebe with.
If you're early enough in the run, it may be worth it to reset with Dupes Clause, give yourself a shot at a more varied team.
That's your choice to make though of course.

Took this current picture about 2 hours ago and then took another break.
Brawly and the Route 110 Rival fight went off without a hitch, and >>51254860 was right.
Did a temporary switcheroo of the team. Caught Taproot, who due to its learnset has relegated Lluvia to the status of "Backup Grass Type".
Caught Circuit on route 110, realized that an Electric resist is a bit more useful than an Electric weakness, and temporarily swapped out Surfster, who evolves after the level cap (of 24) anyway.
Will fire the game back up in 5 or 10 minutes, then it's off to whoop the Cycling Road trainers and Gym trainers. Thank God the Exp. Share is given to you so early in this game.

The team is leveled up, just a matter of getting through it.
Some of these movesets look questionable, admittedly.
Brave Bird is a risky choice, but it can get me out of a tight spot vs. Marshal + I can always swap to Fly if needed.
Bob is all Fighting moves, but I can swap out for Dig and maybe Rock Slide as needed. Superpower isn't spammable so this will have to do.

>>51256990
>Fucking RIP, do you get the Wide Lens in that game by chance?
You do. If you have 5 unique OTs, or having 48 BP, something Nuzlockes don't really allow. Same is true for Zoom Lens, not that Durant can really use that due to being fast.

First up is Grimsley, so I can have Bob's moveset opened up if need be.
After he takes out Scrafty, Liepard comes in, something I didn't expect. Realize the entire team is male vs. a female Attract user. Go to Ted to Featherdance the damage down, almost get screwed over by Attract, leaving him at 2 HP. Bring Bob back in to beat it. Bisharp comes in, fails to KO Bob with Aerial Ace and gets snapped in half like a brick.
Krookodile left, switch to Berke to tank an Earthquake and bait a Dark-type move, then to Chance to 2hko.

Next is Shauntal, seems straightforward enough.
Cofagrigus gets one-shot by Bert, out comes Golurk. Switch to Ted predicting an EQ, FeatherDance it down and 2-shot with Surf. Chandelure comes out. Switch to Chance expecting Shadow Ball. Get hit by Fire Blast and get burned. Why the fuck would you Fire Blast vs. Swanna, game?
I'm now in a really shit situation, and after spending an excessively long time thinking, the only way I can get out of this with my full team alive is if Bert outspeeds the Chandelure. He did not. Bert is dead. I'm still in a shit situation.
Webster has a chance to one-shot with Crunch, if it hits. If it misses, I probably lose.
I hit, and get the KO. Jellicent left. Another Crunch hits, puts it in healing range, switch to Bert, who should win a 1v1.
Shadow Ball does about half and decreases Sp. Def, but Jellicent's Cursed Body activates. Switch to Bob to take a hit and bait Surf, back to Berke, another Shadow Ball.

I can't believe I got through that. Not without sacrifices, but we're living.

Route 13 has got to be one of, if not, the worst Pokemon route ever. The sandstorm constantly pushes you back, countless Arena Trap mons to waste your time, it's barren as shit and the railings are super annoying.
Anyway, Clemont sure went.
>Lead Rocky Road (Tyrunt I finally named), Clemont leads Emolga. Emolga Volt Switches into Magneton while Rocky Road lands a soft Rock Tomb.
>I figure a x4 Weak Bulldoze would do the trick, but Magneton just barely lives and CRITS Mirror Shot, killing my Tyrunt. I send out Jawba while Clemont heals only to be knocked down to the 1 HP by another Bulldoze. After Clemont blows all his potions, the Magneton goes down.
>Emolga comes out once more but the Aerial Aces do pretty much nothing as Jawba the absolute beast tears the Emolga to shreds with Dragon Claws.
>Heliolisk comes out as his ace but I swap to Cashew and completely wall the hell out of the Heliolisk, making it go down in two Bulldozes.

Before I start my new run (decided on Diamond), I think it's time to check on our crew in Heart Gold, and the journey to defeat Red, in the 'Kanto Thousand Years Travel Arc'.

Progress: ...Well, I was able to walk to every major city so I can fly there with minimal effort. LA Blue Girl the Tentacruel got herself tangled up in Viridian Forest, they all had a good laugh at how a literal walking rape-monster got herself stuck in branches.

But as Skinner once said, our momentary lapse of concentration allowed 'Charlie' to get the drop on us on Route 1. A single Alakazam got the double kill on Kuraporka and Mr. Bibby, leaving Hardboiled to get revenge. And now, I must wonder...

Who now will stand up and take their place?

Caitlin is third.
Chance two-shots Reuniclus and will only die to Focus Miss Crit. That didn't happen.
Sigilyph comes in, I decide to switch to Webster, as Crunch will take it out immediately. Unfortunately, I think deep down we all knew how his story would end. In a Hustle-induced miss.
Berke is able to handle Sigilyph, out comes Gothitelle. Berke should be able to one-shot this too. It does about 75%. As it turns out, they have to have EVs on these Pokemon after all. As far as I could find, it's not documented anywhere, but that's another loss for me.
Chance proceeds to clean up the Goth and Musharna.

Marshal. After all this time, we're at a disadvantage in terms of remaining team members.
Bob wins the mirror match against a Throh through two heals, and beats Conkeldurr with 5 HP remaining.
Out comes Mienshao. I make the mistake of switching to Ted, taking notable damage from Retaliate. As Mienshao is faster, Ted falls. Chance puts up a valiant effort trying to Swagger his way into a victory, but Mienshao hits itself only once before snapping out of it. There's no Chance.
Bob, despite being an absolute legend that has carried the team ever since Lenora, has no gas left to take on Mienshao, let alone the Sawk after.

It's over.

Likely not playing any more today, stopped 10 or so minutes ago. Anyway, here's a progress update if anyone cares:
We. Clapped. Watson. Crunchy's intimidate did its job and she tanked Voltorb's Selfdestruct. Spike and Domino made mince-meat of the rest, with Domino's top-grade special defense (being fully-evolved is still helping here), His access to Protect (I should have led with him on Voltorb looking back) as well as Spike's Electric imminuty made pivoting to remove Confusion a joke. I got 3 Mud Shots for free, all OHKO's. Got Rock Smash, broke open the rocks in Rusturf Tunnel, Caught Humpday the Numel on Route 112, and Beijing the Koffimg in Fiery Path. Also caught Hungry Man the HM Slave (allowed in my rules as long as I don't use them in battle, so I slapped the XP Share on him to get him to evolve and learn strength)
I have a worrying hunch that Beijing will meet her end taking Tate and Liza's Claydol and Xatu with her. Kaboom, as they say.
>>51257091
That's shitty then, may still be worth your while as a defensive pivot if you've got nothing else. It certainly wouldn't be my first choice. Were you able to nab someone from the Klink or Ferroseed lines?
>>51257664
Vileplume's gonna be used much later, since Flannery's up next it's better to bring Surfster as my Poison Mon for the time being.
I'm willing to level grind up more than 6 Pokémon. I had to in LeafGreen (Because I'm stupid, Every death in that run other than Steelaris the Magmemite was avoidable)

The plan for Overheat was Surfster, my Tentacool (soon to be Tentacruel). Overheat is tough, but base 120 Special Defense and base 80 HP (not great HP but good enough) is a whole different animal...I hope.
>>51258216
Yeah, I know to be cautious. The Level Cap won't allow my starter to evolve I believe until Tate and Liza, I'd have to check. So I made sure to abuse the dupes clause to guarantee myself both a Tentacruel and Gyarados.
Repels in Meteor Falls at first may just eventually net me a Bagon too.
At least, that's the plan. I see a Bagon, it's getting the Master Ball.

It's faster (And funnier IMO) to have the DS clock on your Emulator always set to Monday or Wednesday as you E4 grind, because your Rival will challenge you first with High 50s-Low 60s Pokémon, It's like the Elite 5.
And don't forget the Amulet Coin! Have it on your lead Pokémon.

And now, stepping away from the Thousand Years Travel Arc, the impossible happens, and a child somehow finds his way back from the old times--spits on God's face--and begins the Diamond run.

Progress: Starting slow, starting with Turtwig (from a spin on the wheel), starting small--nearly got killed by the Abra trainers in Jubilife's trainer school. Comparing the quiet clime of Jubilife Village, and how it transitioned to Jubilife City's surprisingly jarring/intriguing. I might find myself curiously wondering where locations differ--Floaroma will already be an intriguing sight to behold when I get there.

And yes, Thiccetune was a premeditated name. And Bide was used to capture Geodude--he'll never let Crush live it down.

An Apocalocke is a Nuzlocke variant where you roll for a scenario, which will limit the types of pokemon you can use. On top of this, there are individually rolled restrictions.

Commonly used scenario/role lists:

Subreddit List: https://www.reddit.com/r/nuzlocke/comments/am2e3a/apocalocke_a_more_realistic_approach/

Seed of Hope rules: https://sohlocke.tumblr.com/rules

Tl;dr you use a set of a few types and roll die to impose certain restrictions on each of your party members.

I always went with the assumption that whiteout is the end. I'm not sure if I even have anything that could realistically make it. I made a lot of mistakes during the run, so my final team was less than optimal as is.
>>51258233
>Man, that really sucks. The Unova E4 is really scary, especially Marshall. Getting to the E4 on Unova of all regions for your first Nuzlocke is pretty impressive though, I will say.
On the plus side, I can say that this Nuzlocke is the most fun I've had with Pokemon in years. While I don't think I underestimated the difficulty as a whole, I don't think I ever gave it enough credit how much more challenging it can be even with random trainers when letting a Pokemon faint just isn't an option.

I'm definitely running it back, but I have neglected some other projects, so it'll be a couple of weeks. Maybe do some other game between the attempts.

The big thing in a hardcore nuzlocke is crit management. Especially for the first few encounters, it's better to just throw balls from full HP. And in general, you should always assume worst case scenario (that the opponent will crit you/you will crit a potential capture) and switch or have a backup as necessary.
Don't be afraid to look up boss movesets and plan out fights, you don't need to perfectly strategize everything but knowing generally what you're going to do is really helpful.
Be careful of random trainers and wild mons you're grinding on, they can be just as if not more lethal than bosses, especially in lategame BW2.
Finally remember there's a Fire Stone in the bottom left of the Desert Resort.
Good luck anon.

I did the same thing. See >>51233740
Anyways here are some tips from the LeafGreen run I did NOT deserve to win first try.
>If you aren't ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN a crit won't kill the wild encounter, just through Poké Balls. I could have had a Gengar, man...(My rules and emulator let me get trade evolutions)
>Magnitude and Earthquake hit double when a pokemon uses Dig, Gust and Twister do the same to both Fly and Bounce, and Surf does it to Dive
>Don't be afraid to sacrifice a Pokémon that has served its purpose already for a safe switch (If it's between getting a free switch or losing a Pokémon you still need, sometimes Pidgetotto's gotta go, although I wasn't playing with Dupes/Species Clause so I had like 7 of those)
>What this guy said 100% >>51261232
ALWAYS play around the crit.
>Nidoqueen is God-Tier (Female Nidoran is Route 2's Hidden Grotto in that game I believe). This is likely doubly true with re-usable TMs.
>A bulky Water type with good Special Attack is a must in gens 1-5. Ice Beam on say, a Tentacruel, Deals with Lance (Both gens), Drake, Cynthia's Garchomp If you have the Nevermeltice, Drayden and Iris.

Thanks anon, that was really helpful, I'm not really afraid if I don't win this run considering its my first, the only self-imposed rules I've added are having to cap myself to the ace level and not using items in battle. I'm feeling fairly confident though right now but that might change once I reach Elesa if I don't get a good ground type in Desert Resort for example.

Is there a challenge which is similar to Nuzlocke except the dying part? Regular/Hardcore Nuzlocke feels too much stressful, so much that it sucks the fun out of the game but not playing with those rules makes the game trivial and boring most of the time.

I just finished my first one, funny how that also ended up being a Gen V Hardcore.
For most of the playthrough I didn't weaken wild encounters, and one of the two times I did led to a Crit death on an otherwise guaranteed Axew.
My recommendation is to just chuck balls at them unless you're really certain you can weaken them safely.
The further I got into the run, the more I was actively avoiding Trainers. Money wasn't a huge issue, and fighting them just invites risk. Instead, I spent extra time on safely leveling up on Audino.

It may also be obvious, but when things go wrong, really stop to consider the why, and how you can avoid that in the future.
As an example, the first Gym for White had a Pickup Lillipup, and as it turns out, they get to steal your held item when you consume it, so since I had Oran Berries prepared for the team, I took a bit of an L for letting it heal twice off of those. I'm not making that mistake a second time.
Early on, before remembering how to efficiently grind on Audino, I did it on the regular mons instead, and Bide Timburr almost killed a team member. I started paying much more attention to that kind of stuff afterwards.
So yeah, even if this first attempt might not end in a victory, try to take it as a learning experience. Don't beat yourself up for mistakes, they will happen.

I guess you could just do a run with the encounters rule but without Permadeath? I dunno, I did one playthrough before I started Nuzlocking to get myself to improve a bit at the games. I picked SoulSilver, my rules were:
>Mono-Ground but Pokémon that evolve into Ground Types (Both Nidorans) were okay
>No items in battle but held items are fine
>No over-levelling the Gym Leader's/Elite 4's Ace.
>No Legendaries which didn't matter since Groudon is only catchable after the Red Fight
Something like that would start to give you the patience and overly-detailed thinking that goes into making Nuzlockes (and especially Hardcore Nuzlockes) so fun. Though if you go with my example completely expect to be relying on Nidoking and Nidoqueen for the whole run.
I think a good one would be Mono-Flying on FireRed or LeafGreen. You get options like:
>Dodrio
>Butterfree
>Gyarados
>Dragonite
which are great, but you also have to have some tricks up your sleeve for fights like Lt. Surge or Especially Lorelei.

Little update on my run in Blue. Got through Rock Tunnel, caught a Ratatta and Voltorb on the way there. First three encounters inside were Zubats (and have one already), so no encounter in Rock Tunnel, and then the 4th encounter was a Machop. After that caught a Vulpix next to Lavender Town, and a Doduo on Route 16.

And still can't get the things to save from the nuzlocke generator site, except via screen shot.

I named him Lucky, and dripping with irony he goes into the box.
At least his level up learnset is okay. If I need to use him, I'l have to go through the Winstrate House and get the Macho Brace so I can max out his speed EVs. He's no good getting one-shotted by Psychic.

Minor Update: Maxie was a joke, got swept by Water Gun of all things.
And so the grind for Flannery's Gym begins.
Something that aggrivates me is how long this run is taking as opposed to LeafGreen. I'm already closing in on the 13 hour mark, and I've only got 3 Badges. Albeit those ARE without any deaths, but I've got a feeling I'm going about this the wrong way.
Since Flannery's level cap is 29, and I was under the impression Tentacool evolved at level 25, I thoight we'd be fine on water types. Looked it up, and welcomed Leviathan on for a temporary replacement of Domino (I NEED Protect users for Norman's Slakings, and he may show up at that battle as well, due to him and Crunchy sharing Intimidate. Two switches, and Vigoroth is neutered.

I needed Special Defense and a solid Ice Beam. At this point I'm considering Master Balling a Spheal when I reach Shoal Cave.

Hmm. That sounds fun.
I am annoyed by the deaths caused by slight miscalculations or AI's OHKO (Sheer Cold, Fissure, etc) moves hitting or "oh I forgot to heal" kind of situations. With HC Nuzlocke, you have almost no chance for mistake as one wrong move, one misclick can end your run. It's draining and no fun.

Progress: More fellows and acquaintances were added. Hidden Power was used on Silencer, and I really hit the lottery with her H.P., meaning she could actually deal some damage and get some meaningful training in.

Roark was nothing. A couple Withdraws, and Earth Slash ate all of them up with Absorb--only getting Razor Leaf afterwards, but that's beside the point.

First run-in with Team Galactic; nothing. When they looked at one of the kids funny (because he was saying how he was dishonoring the legacy of the Galaxy Expedition Team), Gerymion was yeeted like a Shyguy and clocked their heads in.

Floaroma looks great after seeing the tale of Shaymin restoring the barren fields with flowers, up close and personal. The Windworks await, though...

If it's anything like the Stadium games, I could definitely see it being really hard to Nuzlocke.

Ironically you didn't need that encounter for the route below Violet City. You could have entered the Primo Code for the Mareep Egg (the wierd 'show me show' dude in the Violet City Pokémon Center) and hatched the Egg in the town. Then the encounter would be counted as Violet City.
If you're in need of a Quagsire he does give out a Wooper Egg as well.

Update Time!
The Flannery fight was a deathless, but scary fight, with Spike surviving a Sunny Day boosted Overheat with a sliver before extinguishing Torkoal.
Grinding for the Petalburg Gym was a slow process. To speed things up, I fought the Gym trainers...
Then tragedy struck. PSA to anyone Nuzlocking Emerald: The "Recovery Room" guy in Petalburg Gym has a Slakoth that only knows Counter (and I think Mirror Coat but it only used Counter).
Overheat was a hit, but Counter sent Spike into an early grave.
I did a bit of EV training in response. Now Khabib (My ad-hoc solution to the Slaking problem) and Leviathan have 252 Attack EVs each.
The Norman fight went off without a hitch. Pre-burning Khabib to get the Guts boost sent Slaking packing in one use of Revenge (did the math, 540 power when every buff is taken into account).
I. Have. No. Plan. For. Winona.
Please help me /nuz/.

Well you kind of have to bait a special move to get Chansey in there, She's dependent on predicting a special move. You kind of need a Pokémon with a good resistance to the Physical moves each E4 trainer carries. On Lance for instance you need something with meh Special Defense in order to bait a Dragon-Type move (Cuz they're special even though every dragon type until I believe gen 5 was a Physical Attacker) and not get whacked by Hyper Beam.
Pivoting is pretty janky sometimes.

I have a small dilemma on my hands. I set a rule for the Safari Zone of 3 encounters starting with the first non-dupilcate encounter in each zone, because the Safari Zone is so broken when it comes to catching in gen 1. Not a big deal, got a Slowpoke in Zone 1, and Exeggcute in Zone 2, Zone 3 was a waste as the Dratini fled, and then ran into two Nidoran(F). Zone 4 is were the issue arose, first encounter was a Venomoth which I failed to catch, then an Exeggcute and Nidorina, whatever the area is killed, no big deal I've got two choices from the Safari Zone. As I am leaving the next encounter was a Tauros, and on a whim I threw a Safari Ball assuming it would break out and run. It did not happen that way. I now have a Tauros in my box, that is technically illegal under my rules, but goddamn do I want to use it. I feel the only fair way to do it is to sacrifice a team member, and it has to be one that I actually use. So it would have to be Fish, TOAD, Monarch, Forgotten (would also kill Gemini if this is the one mainly to not have an easy replacement for it), Sasha, or SANIC.

Perhaps the comment about how "Great-Gram Arezu" would be disappointed in her was the tipping point--she snapped, she lost it.

She head-faked me with her Zubat; Crush threw rocks until it fell to the earth, and her Purugly was next. Swapped to Beatrix and that was almost a tragedy--her Purugly was, of course, a terror--nearly sent Beatrix to God with a critical Scratch, but was finished off with a crit Low Kick in turn.

Chased her outta there, and now it's time to head to Eterna Forest--where confirmed lolicon/shotacon (depending on character choice) Cheryl's waiting for an... escort.

Let's talk about level caps. Even with a level cap set, you still outnumber the gym leader. Solution: Bring only the number of pokemon to the gym that the leader has. Combine this with the battle loss = run dead rule.

But wait, you still outlevel the gym leader as they have weaker mons than their highest. Solution: Match level for each individual pokemon.

I realize that level matching in that manner can be tedious and not work out, plus it doesn't work for the E4. For the E4, commonly it is level cap at 4th member's highest level. But you could try bringing only 5 pokemon and having each one set at the highest level of each elite 4 member plus champion. For added difficulty have each one of those pokemon solo their elite four member.

Alternatively you can have your level cap be the average level of the gym leader's team. (Or average level of all 26 E4 Pokemon, assuming this is a game where the E4 members have 5 and champion has 6.) There are also 4 ways you can pick your average level. Mean, median, mode, or range. If you went through elementary school you should know how to calculate each of those, but I will lay out some examples on how we do this in my next post.

Decide which law of averages you wish to use before you start the game. Mean, Median, Mode, or Range. Mean is the sum of all the levels divided by the number of Pokemon. Median is the middle number, when you list all the levels from least to greatest. Mode is the most common number. Range average is similar to median, but is the lowest level plus the highest level and than divide the sum by 2.

Roxanne in Emerald has 2 Level 12 Geodudes and a Lv 15 Nosepass. Your level you fight at will vary based on what you picked for your law of average.
Mean: 12+12+15=39/3=13
Median: 12, 12, 15 The middle number is 12.
Mode: The most common number is 12.
Range: (12+15)/2=13.5 round up to 14.

Giovanni 5 pokemon levels in Red and Blue: 42, 44, 45, 45, 50
Mean: Sum total 226/5=45.2 Round down to 45.
Median: 45 (3rd number in list)
Mode: 45 (2 occurrences)
Range: (42+50)/2=46

The Elite Four in RBY: (Listed from lowest level to highest level, not by trainer)
53 53 54 54 55 55 55 56 56 56 56 56 56 56 58 58 58 59 60 60 61 61 61 62 63 65
Mean: 1497/26=57.57692 Round up to 58.
Median: 56 (The 13th and 14th number. There is no dead center as 26 is an even number, but both numbers are 56 regardless. If they weren't both the same, average both numbers together and round accordingly.)
Mode: 56 (7 occurrences)

You can do this for Pokemon Colosseum and XD as well. Colosseums have 4 trainers (usually), and Mt. Battle has 10 trainers per Area. In the final Mt. Battle Area of Pokemon Colosseum there are 10 trainers who have 45 Pokemon among them.
Mean: Level Total of All Pokemon/45 Pokemon 2694/45=59.86. Round up to 60.
Median: The 23rd Pokemon in order of Level from Lowest to Highest. Which is 60. (Bad example, all but 5 pokemon in this group are lv 60.)
Mode: The most common level among them. In this case 60, as almost every trainer has all level 60s.
Range: The sum of the lowest level plus the highest level divided by 2. In this case the range is 58-60 so it is 59.

You could also try that for the 1-100 Mt. Battle Challenge in which you need to use the same team in one continuous challenge. In which case...
Mean: 100 trainers full rosters level grand total/divided by how many pokemon all 100 trainers have in total. (I'm not counting the number of pokemon you knock out in a full Mt. Battle right now.)
Median: Whatever the middle number is in that large amount of Pokemon.
Mode: Whatever the most common level is from the 1st trainer to the 100th trainer.
Range: (15+60)/2 37.5 Round up to 38.

Of course overleveling once you begin the Mt. Battle challenge is okay, so get your exp as close to the next level as you can before starting.

Oh yeah. I designed this with vanilla runs in mind. However, maybe someday we'll get to the point where it is needed for difficulty hacks as well. Afterall, overleveling and outnumbering isn't treating the AI fairly. I get a little crazy with the adding a level average restriction as well, but that doesn't need to be combined with the matching the number of pokemon restriction. Probably better to have a full team for that as if you use average level, your team will be below the leader's highest level.

I'm also fully aware of how borderline suicidal that Mt. Battle idea is. I just wanted to go to an extreme.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Aquabirb AND Domino got killed by random trainers with Thunder on Route 120 (Constant rain and in Aquabirb's case I didn't know Castform could even learn it). And this was after obliterating Winona's whole team flawlessly!
Damn it, HUGE setback. I'm gonna get off the game for today because I know I won't think clearly due to frustration, so I'll make my update now.
Gonna bring Humpday and Birb (our newly caught Swellow) onto the team, to get a second Guts user and to round out the team's apparently crippling weakness to Electric.
I need to Pre-EV train Humpday, Crank up his Attack to max, and give him HP and Special Defense EVs. He needs to be able to live a Bubblebeam or something. Sunny Day will help, but not enough.
I expect to replace Crunchy here soon enough, either with Ebony the Absol or Beijing the Koffing. Stats-wise she's lagging more and more behind the rest of the team and while Intimidate is good, I already have a Pokémon with it.
Planning to catch a Pokémon in New Mauville. Hoping it's Magnemite, but I can't risk going for that by my usual method of weakening a Pokémon: Leviathan's Dragon Rage.
And besides, if it's Voltorb, Electrode can always blow up Tate and Liza's Claydol...OH WAIT. Both my Protect users are DEAD.
I have even less of a plan than before.

If you can figure out a way to beat Claydol and Solrock, running dual Dark-types (Sharpedo/Absol?) means they have no ways to hurt you outside of confusion.
Solrock might be workable too, as the only move it can hurt you with is Solarbeam, for which it'll try to set up Sun. If you run Rain Dance on a faster Pokemon, you can lock it into the charge-up turn of Solarbeam and switch to something that can take the hit.

Is charmander hardcore nuzlocke fire red the most restrictive early game? I can not see any way of getting past Misty without an Oddish with level caps and no items. Starmie hits too hard and has recover making chip damage strats useless. The only other way is para/sleep hax with butterfree.

Was planning to bring in Flygon after Tate and Liza. Other than Walrein or the incredibly low chance of Bagon in that one Meteor Falls room (I made sure to Repel the one time the game makes you go into Meteor Falls to save the encounter. Crobat's good, but not THAT good)
Also Absol learns Shadow Ball, yes? I've Dupes-Clause'd out every encounter on Route 121 except Shuppet and 1% encounter rate Kecleon, so the odds are overwhelming I can nab a Ghost-Type.
Problem is, Ghost is Super-Effective against itself, so would Absol be the better counter to Phoebe's team?
>>51288674
That's gonna be a brutal fight, but I'm literally on a damage calc website right now, and it says a Guts boosted Facade from Swellow guaranteed takes out Claydol, so I should be ok, so long as I EV train both it and Sharpedo going in, It should (God willing) be a clean sweep.

FireRed 251 seems like a nice minimalist one. FireRed but with a bit more choices to use.
Also on non-Nuzlocke playthroughs you can complete the Pokédex, which is cool.
>>51289336
See, that's why I picked Bulbasaur when I Hardcore Nuzlocked LeafGreen. But Nidoqueen/King + Butterfree or Beedrill can brute force the fight if truly necessary. Though barring a Pikachu or Oddish, you may have to sack one Pokémon for a safe switch.
Based on the fact you picked Charmander, I can guess you had your Trainer ID decide your starter, yes? Eh, fair enough choice, though Fire Types aren't super hard to come by in Kanto games, especially if you have Dupes Clause (I didn't on my run) and can eliminate non-Growlith encounters on certain routes.

I picked Charmander purposefully to make the early game harder, without much memory of the specifics of the fight and encounters to that point. Got my shit pushed in on the first attempt relying on fury swipes Mankey and Hyper Fang Raticate. Got through the second time with a mixture of gloom, butterfree setting up poison powder, and sacking a jigglypuff for the safe switch. That's what makes me think the other combinations are impossible because even gloom requires support from other mons, I can't imagine any hitting hard enough to stop it recovering while also tanking a water pulse.

Although I just checked, and Ekans learns bite at level 16 so I guess that's the alternative. It's not a guaranteed encounter though whereas you can guarantee an Oddish by catching a pidgey and using repel. Can you afford enough repels to get through viridian forest the first time? If so you could theoretically get a route 2 bug, then get the other bug north of Cerulean, then guarantee yourself a Pikachu in viridian forest.

I'm still a bit of a nuzlocke novice so I was wondering if there are other starter choices in other games that really limit your success in the early game as this seems pretty restrictive. Not a complaint I guess.

Don't forget there's Gyarados as well.
In general there's no other game that screws a starter choice as much as FRLG/RBY do with Charmander, but I'd argue USUM/SM's and BW2 Challenge's early games are way more brutal.
Don't worry though as Misty is more or less the hardest boss in FRLG before the E4. Even Sabrina doesn't come close.

I'd hard recommend starting to level up Lombre even if you frustratingly can't evolve it until after T&L, it tears through a lot of the endgame fights with Surf/Ice Beam/a grass move. Absol is also better into Phoebe than Banette will ever be, especially with Swords Dance.

I played a fuck ton of HeartGold as a kid tho, and I will warn you that Chikorita is crap, Feraligatr and (guaranteed encounter btw) Gyarados do the same thing, and your alternatives to Typhlosion are Stats-don't-match-its-type Growlithe, Denies-you-Vaporeon Flareon, and Okay-I-guess Magmar, all after Bugsy.

Progress: Well, I like to think a LOT of work was done in this batch!

Eterna Forest was a nice place to abuse grinding. Also, in the darkness nearing midnight, happened upon a couple of Murkrow as my first encounter. Cheryl killed one like the Mudbray she was, which left me with the ultimate choice to knock her Chansey out so she wouldn't fuck it up for me.

Once she fucked off, it was getting Cut from the other confirmed lolicon/shotacon Cynthia (kayfabe), and snagging a Ponyta on Route 211. Considering they're one of the few naturally-found Fire types, I have to keep this horse alive with my life, like a Charmander with its tail flame.

Gardenia's tail flame wasn't so fortunate, as the flying squad--Defiance, Mukurow, and Silencer, under the command of Thiccetune himself, carved her to ribbons!

A minor detour to explore the Old Chateau; an injured Gastly chose to curse herself, rather than hang with the team. Can't help but feel a little reje--GHOST CHILD. ...Vessa, the Revenge?

Oh, and something about Team Galactic, yes--bugs and bats, squished and thwapped. Jupiter's Skuntank, I feared was going to give me a problem. So swap to Crush, took a Night Slash (no crit). Then as it was for Smokescreen, I got REALLY lucky with a crit Magnitude 9. The building nearly ate us all up, and a bike was given!

Next time... fuck, I don't remember the Sinnoh arc...!

Alright. 7 Gyms down. 35 game-hours (probably 20-22 real hours cuz fast forward) on the clock. This has been a grind-y playthrough to be sure.
It paid off though. Birb one-shotted Claydol with a Guts-Boosted Facade, Xatu went down to a Blackglasses boosted Crunch, letting me get Birb to safety as Crunchy and Jaws walled, surfing the Solrock to death before it could fire off a beam.
From what I had read (and my experience in my one Emerald playthrough ever 2-3 years back) that was one of, if not the hardest fight in the game, and they didn't even get off a shot. Birb lives on. Damage calcs say that eliminates Sidney, Drake and Wallace completely.
I think I can do this. Just gotta dodge any remaining Wobbuffets and we're good.

Pachirisu brought Crasher Wake's Gyarados to low hp with a discharge, then Wake healed it. A second discharge paralyzed Gyarados, but he switched Quagsire in against the third.

Sewaddle-Leavanny should lead nicely into Elesa by setting up a Light Screen you can buy from the Nimbasa Center and (probably) dying. That's probably the highest point that a Leavanny gets in a normal B/W Nuzlocke.

And since Ponyta is pretty weak I'm not sure he can handle it with his current partner. As fucked up as it is I'm considering taking Razia out back and giving her the old yeller treatment... She's gonna be deadweight for her partner until level 40, and I doubt she'll live that long. I know Sinnoh games lack fire types but I don't see this going well. Since wedlocke rules don't allow boxing pokemon my hands are kinda tied

Fantina and Byron were both really easy. Against Fantina I swept with Skuntank. Against Byron I used Ponyta to kill his Bronzor and Steelix, then used Torterra for his Bastiodon.
I forgot how easy the rival in this game is compared to Platinum. The rival fight in Canalave usually gives me problems in Platinum but in DP he's underleveled and none of his Pokemon are fully evolved.

>>51299914
Like the other anon said Archeops is great against Marshall. You can have Gigalith relearn stealth rock to break Sawk's sturdy then sweep with Archeops. That's how I beat Marshall last time I did a gen 5 run.

And Chase has been better than I expected so far but is starting to feel weak. I might need to go to the game corner to get a psychic tm soon.

>>51300446

Started a new run. HeartGold.
I played the original on release and never defeated Red, because I got bored.
This is my team training after defeating Whitney (Geodude was enough to kick ass in the gym)
Rules:
>Max 6 pokemon. If you catch 6 you need to wait for one to faint before continuing.
>No items in battle, outside of held items. This rule will be ignored against red if I'm under-leveled.
>No purchasing items outside of pokeballs. I can only use items found in the wyld or gifts from mom.
>In battle I can only use the same number of pokemon as the trainer I'm facing.
>All the moms must have names from players of SKT. if I can't name a mom the run is over.
First impressions:
1st time using a raticate. he kicks ass.
Buterfly is good for the status but sucks to sweep in battle. Training her is a nightmare.
Geodude is badass and super easy to train, needing low xp and with good moves and speed.
Metronome is super fun and the game AI seems to improve when using it. The amount of super effective moves it gives is over the chart.
And I finally read the pokedex about the starter. I never really noticed that he uses the flames on his back to attack like a ball and probably the starter spitting fire was just the anime taking liberties.

So while I was EV Training...I caught Pokérus. That is a 1 in 21,845 chance of happening. Holy hell. And best of all I had an HM slave I don't need anymore in the party. So now I can transfer Pokérus to any gen 3 save files I make in the future.
Between that and >>51291410 I think this has been a (somewhat) lucky playthrough.
I'm gonna stop for an hour, EV train my last Pokémon 2x faster than usual due to Pokérus, and get the levels, and finish this up.

What's your opinion on safari zone encounters? Should you get extra catch(es) since there are a huge amount of safari zone exclusive mons, or should it be only one like every other route?

The best way I've seen it handled is that you just do one run of the Safari Zone, try to catch as much as you can, then release everything except one mon.
For games with more varied Safari Zones like HGSS it's probably fine to catch one per 'area'.

Litwick has been pretty cool, the early game was a little tricky because a lot of the beginning mons know bite(or worse, crunch). It's accomplished my goal of spicing up the run a little. That might just be what I do for runs going forward. The randomizer has the option to make the starters other basic pokemon with two stages.

the rule is first encounter per area, and areas are determined by the pokemon summary. so check its summary and any pokemon caught in any safari zone area will say "encountered in safari zone" so 1 only. Note that safari zone is seperate from the city its located in.

That's the win! Between this and my LeafGreen run >>51233740 I'm 2 for 2 on both Nuzlockes and Hardcore Nuzlockes. Holy hell that was a lot of grinding, but it sure paid off because I have a shiny Poochyena and transferable Pokérus to show for it. Not to mention the win.
Guts-boosted Swellow is a monster, but I did have to sack Nu the Flygon to remove Intimidate from Drake's Salamence. Circuit somehow lived a crit Surf from Wallace's Gyarados (Man, Gyarados really can't into Special Attack), and fired off a defiant Thunderbolt to close it out.
Also the Phoebe fight was odd, again Circuit was incredibly durable, eating an Earthquake that, based on who I switched off of (Wayne my Crobat), was an...odd choice of move.
Shame I had to sack Nu. I could have likely swept Drake with him if only he had rolled a wee bit higher on Dragon Claw (such a tiny sliver on that Salamence's health)
Anyway, I'm off to spin the wheel.

It IS posdible, although I was talking about transferring it to other GBA games on the same emulator (I have all 5 Advance games on it) or maybe some ROMHacks if any are compatible.
Also from what I remember, don't the Elemental Monkeys kinda have crap movepools? I'd have to check.
My rule on Gift Encounters is that the Gift would qualify as the encounter for where I received it
>For example, in my LeafGreen run, Eevee (later Vaporeon) counted as my Celadon City encounter, meaning no Game Corner Dratini. Sad cuz Dragonite's badass.
IIRC you get the Elemental Monkey in that back forest area with the Munna, yes? It would be my encounter for the route.
I'll post my full personal ruleset, updated to make things less murky when I start up White tomorrow.

Early game, especially Lenora, is going to be the hardest part in terms of difficulty and exp management other than the final bosses. Thankfully the final bosses are offset by one of the easier E4 in the franchise and you can also heal and access the PC after them but before fighting the final fights.
Tepig honestly isn't that much better or worse than the other starters in White as fire types aren't especially needed (you also have a decent shot at getting Darmanitan, who is way better). Simipour is probably the best monkey as you don't get a lot of water types and Clay can be a potential major wall.
Remember that a lot of Unovamons evolve later than they probably should, and the mid evos, especially mons like Krokorok or Vanillish, have terrible stats. You can still bring them to gyms, just be careful, definitely pick up the Eviolite in Castelia ASAP.
Excadrill tears apart the entire game, even Drilbur is useful into a lot of early game fights.
Don't be stingy with the dust clouds. You can start farming them right after the 1st gym and they can give you gems or evo stones that will pay off hugely, especially gems. It does take time getting useful things from them though, especially if you're playing physical.
Finally - there's a ton of rival and N fights in BW, and they will ambush you. Either learn where they are or just keep healed up at all times

So I'm off to a sort of rough start. Already lost my Patrat, Dervenin, to the Trainer's school Cheren fight. That means I've got one Pokémon dead before even entering the first Gym. It took until Misty to get a death in LeafGreen, and on Emerald my first death was grinding wild Pokémon before Flannery. Cheren's Oshawott had apparently low-rolled the first Water Gun, as quick mental math told me I'd live the crit. I did not live the crit.
Anyway here are all my rules:
>The Standard Nuzlocke Rules
>No items in battle (Held items and Poké Balls are okay)
>Play on 'Set' Battle Mode
>Dupes Clause, applying to Evolution Lines. Meaning since I caught a Lillipup, any wild Herdiers or Stoutlands are off limits
>Use of Legendaries or Mythicals is banned and I must box Zekrom upon obtaining it
>Use of Pseudo-Legendaries (Pokémon with a BST of 600 or greater other than Slaking is banned (In this game this doesn't mayter as Hydreigon evolves far past the E4 level cap of 50)
>Level Caps are the Incoming Gym Leader's or Elite 4's Ace upon entering the battle, or entering the Elite 4 area (For the Elite 4 this is Level 50 as said above)
>Gift Pokémon count for the area in which they are obtained
>No Pinwheel Clause in order to make the run more difficult.
>Partial Shiny Clause meaning that if I encounter a full-odds shiny that is not my first encounter (or if it's a dupe like my Poochyena >>51291410 ) I may catch it, but not use it.
>Since HMs are not needed to complete the main story, I may not break the encounter rules to catch an HM slave.

Doesn't the fight with N happen immediately afterwards? The only way to avoid that is to not catch the thing, but that requires you to fill out your boxes.

Just wondering for Pinwheel if I'm better off going for Audino, with the 5% chance of Throh, or just hoping for not Tympole with a normal encounter. Though getting the Audino at least lets me try for the other Pokemon from shaking spots later. My team currently consists of Servine, Herdier (Sand Rush), Pidove, Woobat, and Purlion.

Gym 5 is taken care of! Audino got hit with the swagger, then got a work up in. Was able to wreck Clay's first two.

Then, surprisingly, Leavany was able to tank a hit from his ace and kill with Razor Leaf. Not bad at all.
>>51317040
I got my Audino in the dreamyard. While I did miss out on munna, future shaking encounters are more/less free. Tympole is also a very good pick though, I don't think you can lose other way.

That Leavanny's putting in more work than I realized. Not bad, not bad.
You're past the hardest part of Unova until Victory Road and the E4, have fun with the smooth sailings.
Oh, but remember. There's an ace trainer in the second-to-last floor of Mistralton Tower with a Stoutland that knows Ice Fang. Watch out for that.

I'd go for the Audino/Throh. Even if you don't get Throh, Audino should still be good for Elesa with the Echoed Voice + Light Screen combo.

Update:
Decided to play yearsterday. Bad idea.
First thing that happened is that Zeus decided to suicide and used explosion. That made me a little angry, but it was expected.
I them captured Teddy the Sudowodo.Actually the fact that he has fighting moves was awesome even if he was not as good as Canna,
Fought the Ghost gym leader (I think his name is morty or something). The gym was basically soloed by Guma but when fighting him he put his Gengar second. He was faster and managed to land a curse. The issue is that he wasn't one shotted like the others and Guma was losing HP fast.
So I decided to switch to Benji just to get the final hit. End result: Benji died. Oner was the one to kill the gengar and the other 2 haunters,
After battling I discovered that I needed a pokemon with surf to go to the next gym. So I used my old rod in the pond in the city and got a female magikarp that I named Marin.
It took 5 hours to raise her to level 20. 5 gruesome hours. Now, I finally managed to get into the lake of rage.
Now I remember why I never tried to face Red.

Sounds like I'm going Audino then. Going to be annoyed when the first encounter after it is a Sawk.

Fucked up the lead Pokemon on Repel and caught a Timburr instead. Probably works out better for the gym actually.

First death of the run. Not gonna lie, I am kinda bummed about this one. I know Onix sucks but having a fast wall is probably the reason I made it this far without anything going terribly wrong. Even if Onix could not do any damage, being able to pivot into her, take a hit and then lower the speed/defense of the opponent before switching out took me out of more than a few tough spots.
Also, I just realized I am slowly turning into a bug catcher. I should probably switch my team around after the fighting gym.

Emerald as a first run is really harsh. Don't know if you've started again but you really will want Mudkip especially for Wattson.
Remember that you can just skip Brawly if you don't get good encounters for him, he's not worth fighting if you're not doing some kind of hardcore nuzlocke. If you do want to fight him early I recommend doing it with Beautifly/Dustox as they shit all over his team.
GL either way.
>>51319582
If you can evolve it all the way Conkeldurr is arguably one of if not the best Pokemon in the game, fantastic encounter. Even Eviolite Gurdurr is extremely strong.
>>51320745
F.
Bigger problem than just having bugs is that this team is super weak to electricity, you'll definitely want to think longer term to Lance. Maybe one of the Nidos might be a good replacement? Or something like Jolteon or Quagsire.

I decided to bring Murkrow back on to the team because it needed less grinding. Even then it took too long to catch Floatzel and Murkrow up to the rest of the team. I'm going to use rare candies for the league.
Anyway, Volkner was easy. Torterra took out everything but his Octillery, which Pachirisu easily handled.

>>51319048

That's insane. Slow experience growth Pokemon are such a pain to use. Also RIP Zeus.

I know that this sounds weird but I actually feel bad in having something that provides a random effect and not using it. Is like having a great built in binding of isaac and getting a D4.

Not only slow experience but receiving half the amount (because I have to swap) and with opponents of lower levels. I swear that it looks like some pokemons give less experience (spinaraks are a good example) than others at the same level. After it got tackle I even tried to let her handle enemies, but I gave up after 2 fights.

That is the case.
Generally stronger (read: higher BST) Pokemon give more. Chansey, when applicable gives massive gain, and so are Audinos (Makes Gen 5 grinding okay)

Well this is the last update.
The lake of rage was actually fine and I loved the rocket headquarters because Canna could practice. He actually got to level 35 playing like this. Until I fought the double battle with Lance.
The battle by itself was fine..until I got to their last mon, a gloom. I was not that worried because Cannaa was oneshooting everything. But he missed and got killed by a megadrain.
Now I thought that it was fine to take the gym because I thought that I was a bit overleveled and it was the ice gym.
I forgot that it was the water gym with the numbers filled out (I played the game decades ago). Faker was actually barely useful in the gym and even guma was unable to outspeed everything and almost got killed before the leader.
Oner was actually a badass and his hyper fang soloed almost everything. So I decided to put him in front and hope for the best before the final battle.
This image was the start of the battle. I healed the pokemons the best that I could with what remained of my potions (no buying items).
Battle start: Oner uses hyper fang and almost killed the seel outright. He took a small hit and then finished with a quick attack.
Against the mamoswine he again took more than half of his health with a crit but died in one hit to Ice Fang.
Faker enters the gym and hits like a wet noodle and dies to a single mud bomb.
Marin enters the fray and manages to let the mamoswine in the red twice before dying to blizzards.
Teddy enters and finally kills the mamoswine atter taking a nud bomb to the face but dies to his dewgong.
Finally Guma enters the fray and is killed before he could do anything.
So this is the end of my semi-blind run.
I will take 1 or 2 days to grieve the death of this team and try to start again.

Gonna post a few updates for my Ultra Sun run, since I'm planning to take this run back up.
I actually beat Kiawe and Mallow's trials back in february, but didn't post then.
>Totem Marowak
I have Luther go for Adaptability Hydro Vortex immediately, not realizing Marowak has detect ready. Hydro Vortex still takes out about a third of the totem's health. The totem calls in...
>Salazzle
Adaptability Aqua Jet does a fair bit of damage to the totem, but fails to KO. Salazzle uses Poison Gas to inflict poison, and Marowak hits decently hard with Brick Break.
Another Aqua Jet KOs the Totem, but Salazzle Venoshocks Luther, taking him out.
McCloud comes in next and hits Salazzle with Shock Wave, and gets Poison Gas'd in return.
Another Shock Wave seals the deal.

Can not evolve it all the way, playing on a 3DS.
>>51319582
Went into the Lenora fight after losing Pidove to a crit Rock Throw while training against a trainer. Almost lost the run to her Watchog, because I forgot to give things the Chestos. Had three Pokemon left, with both Servine and Herdier asleep in yellow health, and Timburr in yellow. Watchog missed Hypnosis on the switch, then hit the second time and Timburr woke up immediately and hit Wake-Up Slap for the win. Really thought my run was over there. Lost Purlion to eat the Retaliate, and lost Woobat to a crit Crunch.

Been a while, but there's a HUGE gap between the 7th and 8th gym because of all the Team Flare chicanery. Might as well update with the triple rival fight on the bridge.
- Shauna
>Probably the scariest right off the bat due to Goodra AND a starter. Luckily, Shauna leads Delcatty, I lead Bao for the Intimidate. I hard switch to Fluor and begin using Play Nice to drop the Delcatty to -6 Attack while Shauna misses half of her Play Roughs. Rough. I then swap to Kuriku and begin setting up Calm Minds while Shauna can do nothing but watch as her Delcatty fails to deal more than 3 damage (which get healed by Leftovers).
>Proceed to shit on the rest of her team with 3 Dazzling Gleams. If Shauna had a crush on me, those feelings are gone now.
- Tierno
>Tierno leads Talonflame, I lead Bao. -1 Acrobatics does nothing to Bao as he kills with one Rock Tomb.
>Roserade comes out, but given how it ONLY HAS ONE MOVE, Onyo walls it pretty hard, taking the waifumon out with one Acrobatics.
>Crawdaunt would be scary, but Cashew walls it super hard and takes it out with Seed Bomb as it hits weak Crabhammers.
- Trevor
>Trevor leads with Raichu, I hard switch to Jawba on an immune Thunderbolt. One Bulldoze kills it.
>He then sends out Florges, I swap to Onyo who takes it out with two Poison Fangs as it sets up Misty Terrain and sends a Moonblast out.
>Aerodactyl is next, arguably the second-scariest pokemon in the lineup. I swap over to Kuriku on an Ancient Power that thankfully doesn't get the omniboost. After a Sky Drop, two Dazzling Gleams take out the big dino.
Pretty cool how every team member had their time to shine, teambuilding for this was pretty fun too.

>>51323555
Cool template.
>Got a Furfrou
Lucky. I've wanted to use one in a run for so long but I never got the chance.
>>51323866
>Losing Purrloin and Woobat
You're not really missing out on much thankfully. Burgh after this should be manageable, just make sure to not step on the Rock Blast Dwebble guy plate in the gym.

>Aaron
Honchkrow handled everything but Drapion, which Torterra took out.
>Bertha
Easy sweep with Torterra
>Flint
Floatzel took out everything except Lopunny because I didn't want to risk it getting mirror coated. Skuntank took it out with a crit night slash.
>Lucian
Skuntank and Honchkrow beat him with no problems.
>Cynthia
Skuntank takes out Spiritomb with about half hp remaining. She sends out Gastrodon so I send in Torterra to kill it. She sends in Milotic so I switch Pachirisu in as she uses aqua ring. She uses mirror coat and kills Pachirisu, then Skuntank comes in to pick up the kill. Then I sacrificed Skuntank to Garchomp to get my next Pokemon in safely. I bring in Chimecho and yawn Garchomp, then switch to Floatzel to take it out. Floatzel hits Roserade hard but goes down to an energy ball. Chimecho comes back in to kill Roserade and yawn Lucario to let Torterra safely switch in to kill it with EQ, netting me the win.
