Hey. I'm looking into starting an Emerald Scramble.
My set restrictions are: I must have a surfer, but not necessarily a flyer. I'd like to keep my starter, and I cannot trade between versions at all. Aside from that, nothing too terribly late in the game, I like having my team set by Norman at the latest.
Team:
Zigzagoon (Rizla): Must know 4 moves with overworld effects to evolve, and cannot learn new moves after evolution. (probable moveset: Cut, Rock Smash, Dig, Secret Power)
Lotad: can know surf, must keep Astonish throughout game.
Male Ralts: cannot learn Hidden power, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, or Shockwave. must solo Seafloor Cavern Archie's or Magma hideout Maxie's Mightyena to evolve fully. Can become Kirlia at any time.
Torchic: can only become Combusken once I have reached Dewford, and Blaziken only once it solos a Ruin Maniac on route 111. Must know Blaze Kick and Quick Attack.
Grimer/Koffing: can only evolve after beating Winona's Skarmory. Koffing cannot learn any TMs until after evolution. Grimer is prioritized over Koffing, only to be replaced if 50 cave battles go by with no Grimer appearance.
Anorith: must know Aerial Ace via TM, can only evolve after beating Juan's Kingdra using only Aerial Ace.
And We. Are, GOOO!
