I saw this thread and thought it might be interesting to try out this challenge. Not only will it be fun but it could possibly make us be better Trainers by using all of our moves and not always rely on using the same move to win us games.

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?p=7191526#post7191526

To combat this, I devised a bunch of challenges to have a huge variety of moves in my play style, and they've really worked wonders. Some challenges are easier than others, and some are difficult. At any rate, they are all possible, just take a lot of practice. So, I present to you, our way of EV training our Pokemon but with different Moves. For the Pikachu community.

Even if you already feel you're a well-rounded Trainer, these are nonetheless fun to attempt. Also, if you feel like adding a challenge, feel free to post, and I'll update this list. Most of all, have fun. That's what Brawl is meant to be after all.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Rules of Engagement:

Three stock matches
No Items
Level 9 CPU opponent (or less if you so desire)
If the rules of the challenge are broken, force-end the match.
Use a neutral course: Battlefield,Smashville,Yoshis Island,Final Destination, Pokemon Stadium 1
Each challenge has an assumed difficulty level: Boulder Badge, Cascade Badge, Thunder Badge, Rainbow Badge, Soul Badge, Marsh Badge, Volcano Badge, Earth Badge.
Do your best to conquer each- every level offers a different kind of play.
Have the opponent be a random CPU. If you want to increase the difficulty, use common sense with your opponents. For example, for the challenge "Only KO by ledge-hogging", an opponent like Pit,Ike,Kirby,Toon Link will be much more difficult than say, Donkey Kong or Bowser.

I am posting this on all boards with Pokemon. This is an excellent way to capitalize on moves, especially when only a single move has an advantageous matchup against a character. It makes you more well-rounded and counters spamming while increasing move knowledge and thus move viability. Have fun! :D

Hey, silly or not, it still helps your game, without the need for a real person.

My reactions are above. This is a stupid challenge, and you should feel stupid for introducing it, but I'm going to try it anyways.

Are you going to make a Johto one?

My cousin wants in on this too, so what do I do, RK Joker? Do we do a 2-on-2 Team battle with CPUs, or a Handicap match?

Therefore I don't feel stupid. I'm just glad that everywhere I post it, someone wants to try it. At least you don't have moves like Dedede's Jet Hammer, which would trick you into thinking that the move was viable against real opponents, so this benefits the Pokemon more since I touched it up a bit to suit each one.

I'd LOVE to see someone beat their computer pikachu under the limitations of the elite four... I think I might as well try this.

I managed to finally get the Boulder Badge just now - sadly, my Wii isn't modded, so I couldn't save the replay, and thus have no proof >.< But It's not that important to me to get my name listed, I know I did it and that's what counts =D

Moving on to Cascade Badge now =)
