Hey there! Professor Oak here!
It looks like you'll be needing some training for the last phase of this game!
Your stats are as follows: HP = 384 Attack = 273 Defense = 273 Sp. Atk = 361 Sp. Def = 306 Speed = 229HP - Hit points. How much health you have. Attack - How damage is calculated for physical attacks. Defense - Determines how physical attacks will affect you. Special attack - How damage is calculated for special attacks. Special defense - Determines how special attacks will affect you. Speed - Helps to determine turn order and accuracy of attacks. But! It looks like you're a little weaker than some of the other Pokémon here. You will have the ability to add >75< points to any category shown above.
I'll also need you to pick 4 moves from the list below that you'd like to use. Feel free to research any of your moves on pokemondb.net . As your local professor, I'll also be available to answer any questions that you have!Fire Punch Tackle Growl ThunderShock Thunder Wave Thunder Wave ThunderShock Cotton Spore Charge Take Down Electro Ball Confuse Ray ThunderPunch Power Gem Discharge Cotton Guard Signal Beam Light Screen Thunder Please post below what >4< moves you will be selecting. Also post where you will be allocating your extra >75< points. Failure to do so before 6pm EST Friday will result in a random.org-ing of which moves you will be able to utilize for the remainder of the game.[/center][/b][/size]

A couple of questions. Does type move advantage come into effect for this specific challenge? Like say I use an electric move against a water type pokemon (Mudkip) it would deal more damage. Or if someone uses a ground type move against me and etc. And does everybody have the same stats before the 75 point allotments?

Good questions. I've tried to make this as fair as possible, but still retain some uniqueness based on the Pokemon you've selected. Weakness and Resistance will NOT be factors. The points are not the same for everyone. If you received extra points to allocate, that means that you were a little "weaker" than another Pokemon based off of level 100 stats. So basically I just evened the playing field. Your stats could be different than a Pokemon who also received an extra 75 points to allocate, but your totals will be equal afterwards.

Will you still require some of the advantages and disadvantages of choosing a certain move? Like if Phanpy has Last Resort in the game he can't use that move until he at least uses his 3 other moves at least 1 time. Or if Snorlax uses Giga Impact if the attack hits will he still have to recharge for 1 turn before he can attack again? And if Eevee uses quick attack will it allow him to attack first? I'm sorry but selecting certain moves takes strategy and I want to take everything into account so I can plan accordingly.

No I understand completely! Yes all other factors to moves will take place. All status, move requirements, and turn based restrictions from moves will take place.

I am fairly certain but not 100% sure if this is how the challenge is at the moment.
Ampharos HP = 384 Attack = 273 Defense = 273 Sp. Attack = 361 Sp Def = 306 Speed = 229 Total = 1,826 Training Points = you gave me 75 (should be 74)
Eevee's Stats: HP = 314 Atk = 229 Def = 218 Sp Atk = 207 Sp Def = 251 Speed = 229 Total = 1,448 Training Points = 452
Snorlax's stats: HP = 524 Atk = 350 Def = 251 Sp Atk = 251 Sp Def = 350 Speed = 174 Total = 1,900 Training Points = 0 (he is the highest)
Phanpy's stats: HP = 384 Atk = 240 Def = 240 Sp Atk = 196 Sp Def = 196 Speed = 196 Total = 1,452 Training Points = 448
Mudkip's stats: HP = 304 Atk = 262 Def = 218 Sp Atk = 218 Sp Def = 218 Speed = 196 Total = 1,416 Training Points = 484
I figured out the training points by taking Snorlax's total which is 1,900 and subtracting the total of points from each pokemon to figure out what points they are allowed to allocate to be at even stats to Snorlax. Now I am just wondering are you implementing any sort of restrictions like a max of points they can allocate toward a single stat. Because I feel that it would be unfair if you would allow Phanpy, Eevee, or Mudkip to allocate every one of their points toward a single state like their Attack stat. I think maxing out the points you can give to a single stat to around 180-200 I think would be fair. Do you agree?

You have 75 points to allocate. Mudkip and Phanpy have evolved forms that I used to calculate their max points. Eevee has several evolutions and i used none of them, so Eevee does have the most to allocate. For anyone who received more than 150 points, they were only allowed to allocate 150 points to a particular stat. So yes I do agree!

So I guess that means that Eevee is getting the most screwed over in this challenge because I am pretty sure you aren't allowing him to pick any of the moves any of his evolutions can use.

Or are you giving Phanpy Donphan's stats but only allow him to select moves that Phanpy would know?

Pokemon can only use the moves that they could learn. They are able to learn different moves at higher levels for certain evolutions. And you are correct.

But I was asking about the moves because Phanpy can learn certain moves but Donphan learns moves that Phanpy can't learn all while leveling up. I mean Phanpy doesn't learn earthquake or magnitude when leveling up but Donphan does.

Dorphan and Phanpy would have different moves. You're correct. Dorphan wouldn't be able to learn endure, charm, or last resort amongst other things.

So then Phanpy will only be able to select moves that Phanpy can learn and the same for Mudkip?

That's correct!

I'm glad to have everything cleared up. Now I just need to figure out my strategy.
