(sorry for doublepost but it doesn't alert otherwise)
I'm looking for a Very Hard Platinum Scramble with two caveats:
-All Pokemon must be able to reach their final evolution by the time I fight Cynthia
-I reserve the right to deny any challenge that is too tedious (eg. solo Fantina with a Wurmple) and/or requires too much grinding.
Go nuts.
You don't have any early game mons, so...
Take
Autotune the (male)
Kricketot! Autotune is very unfortunate, he's completely tone deaf! This means that he
cannot learn any sound based moves other than Growl, which must always remain on his moveset.
Growl must be the first move used in every battle; if it runs out of PP, you must use Ethers etc, or backtrack. Autotune is jealous of other musicians, so
must solo every Guitarist, every Chatot, and every Kricketune you encounter. In addition, if another mon uses Sing, Autotune must immediately switch in and KO that mon.
As a result of his jealousy, Autotune is something of a lone ranger, at first. Once you catch him (and you should do so as soon as possible),
he must solo the game up until you leave Eterna Forest, at which point he must
evolve, and then realise that teammates are not the same as bandmates. This shocking realisation forces him to
sit out Eterna Gym entirely.
Autotune must win a Contest sometime before you beat Team Galactic; once he does, then he is permitted to learn one (and only one) sound-based move. This must be learnt as soon as possible via the Heart Scale move relearner, and Autotune is unable to participate in any further battles until you do (I suggest waiting until you can Fly to Pastoria).
Finally, Autotune must prove that he is the best bug (better than Masamune/Murasame!) by
solo'ing Bugsy in the E4. Content with himself, he then sits out the rest of the E4 except the Champion, where he must get one KO.
(If you're doing postgame then have him solo Heatran)
If any of these restrictions conflict with another mon's, that mon takes priority. The male thing is also optional, I just couldn't be bother to reword the flavour.
Hi! I recently got my hands on Soul Silver for the first time in about 5 years, and I want to scramble!
I cannot trade. I want it to be pretty hard, but not. . . ridiculously hard? Basically, I want variety. I always have a rut in replays.
I'd prefer it if I'm not forced to use an HM slave. Pokemon that can use HMs, and movepools that allow for HMs to be put in, is preferred. . . but it's also a challenge, so I guess just give me what you want. :)
I have some ideas for a Quagsire, a Dunsparce, and a Ledyba, as well as the mandatory Unown, but then I realised:
Take
Don't Fuckle the Shuckle (sadly this has to be named Shuckie)! Stolen off some wimpy kid who couldn't do anything, Don't Fuckle has decided to become hardcore. Major Hardcore. It wants to show the world not to fuckle with Shuckles worldwide. This means it needs to win through any means necessary.
-Solo Cianwood Gym. This proves Don't Fuckle is a
FIGHTER and can now learn TMs and HMs.
-Solo Olivine Gym. Don't Fuckle now has nerves of
STEEL and can hold items, as well as have items used on it outside of battle. Before this, it can only hold the Berry Juice it came with.
-(Optional) Solo Mahogany Gym. Learn the technique of
ICY CALMNESS, allowing items to be used on it during battle.
-(Optional) Solo Blackthorn Gym. Don't Fuckle is now a
DRAGONSLAYER and can learn Power Trick.
-(Optional, follow up) Solo Lance after using Power Trick.
Don't Fuckle With Shuckle. It now has no other restrictions, but must solo at least one Pokémon in each Gym (doesn't have to be the Gym leader), as well as one from your rival (each time you see him), and one from Red.
Oh, and Don't Fuckle cannot enlist the help of any legendaries during its quest, unless it defeats the Champion, in which case you are permitted to catch one of the dogs (I would suggest Suicune unless you like torturing yourself).
(if this is too hard lmk and I'll adjust it)
