Pokémon Challenge – 2

by the Pocket World team

A Little Bit Of Heart And Soul!

We’ve been pretty excited since HeartGold and SoulSilver rocked up in the office. Perhaps a little too excited, seeing as how we saw fit to take on this month’s challenger using only Pokémon we’d just captured and started raising in the new games. Had we put enough time in to come out victorious with such a fresh squad, or would our newcomers be trampled? If you think you have what it takes to beat us, email us at pokemonworld@imagine-publishing.co.uk with your Friend Code!

Pokémon Challenge – 2Team Lukémon

Feraligatr
Water

Ampharos
Electric

Dragonite
Dragon/Flying

Decent Pokémon but all still with untapped potential.

Pokémon Challenge – 2Team Adam

Hitmonchan
Fighting

Gengar
Ghost/Poison

Garchomp
Dragon/Ground

A beastly team that doesn’t pull any punches.

FIGHT!

We’d simply grown too attached to our new HeartGold/SoulSilver team to go back to Platinum for this issue’s challenge, so fearing the worst we decided to brave it with the new guys. They’d done pretty well against the Trainers of Johto and Kanto, but it didn’t take long for us to be reminded that competitive battling was a whole different ball game!
We decide to open with Dragonite, which the opponent answers with Hitmonchan. Knowing how unprepared we are, we’re in two minds whether to flee, fearing the off-chance that Hitmonchan had learned Ice Punch, but we decide to risk it. This turns out to be the first of several poor decisions on our part and as our Dragon Rush attack goes soaring wide of the mark, the frosty punch comes as an immediate response and lays out the dragon in a single blow. Not a good start. Not wanting Feraligatr to suffer the same fate, should Chan know Thunder Punch, we opt for the comparatively safe option and put Ampharos up. An early Thunder Wave gets us off to a good start and despite the lack of super effective attacks, we manage to Discharge a fair few times before Hitmonchan can even break his paralysis. But by then, it’s too late for him – he’s hurt Ampharos a fair bit, but a final Discharge and the punchy Poké goes down for one a piece! Out comes (the annoyingly resistant) Garchomp, forcing a switch on our part since that Earthquake is all but inevitable. It does indeed come, and Feraligatr switches into it for a fair chunk of ineffective damage. He next tries to power up with Sword’s Dance, but it’ll be his undoing – Feraligatr’s Ice Fang lands hard for quad damage and down goes the big hammerhead. We could win this yet!
Gengar arrives last and we’re ready with Crunch, but disaster strikes as a critical (and presumably Choice Specs-boosted) Shadow Ball tears through Feraligatr for a shock KO! Begrudgingly, we put out our already weakened Ampharos, but he too suffers the same fate – we’ve forgotten how quick and deadly Gengar can be and paid the ultimate price! A win for Team Adam as the reigning champs go down! Congratulations!

THE FINAL WORD

Our first loss of the year! Heartbreaking as it is to see our new friends shot down in flames so easily, we do have to wonder if even some of our better squads could have stood up to this relentless onslaught. The opposing team was obviously well trained and there was no way for our relatively untrained Pokémon to pull through. Next time we’ll be ready…

    • the Pokémon World team said:

      OK everyone. Thanks for pointing out the pics are wrong. Sometimes these things happen, I guess I was distracted by someone! The good news is we can fix this on the website, the bad news is we can’t fix this in the 60,000 copies of the magazine that are out there!

    • oko said:

      me and my arceus will crush you all.(once i get one) =p

    • Pokefever said:

      I’d like to know what damage it actually did. Then by the level and HP I could determine how Lukemon could try to improve his later teams. It’s all about the STAB moves and the stat changes and the status changes, HINT: Shednijna, Stat change, Baton Pass!!!

    • moto kurye,istanbul kurye,acil kurye said:

      It’s perfect time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I have read this put up and if I could I want to counsel you some attention-grabbing issues or suggestions. Perhaps you can write subsequent articles relating to this article. I want to learn even more issues about it!
