Hey guys, I was looking around and couldn't find this answered specifically anywhere. When you compete at Mt. Battle, I read that you have to keep the exact same team all the way through to get a Johto starter. Now, can I switch the six pokemon's order in the middle? And Also, can I rest and continue, or does it have to be a continuous shot to the end? Thanks in advance guys!

You can swap your pokemon's order in the middle of it, and you can rest and continue, but im pretty sure you can only rest at a break room.

And I think that all the shadow pokemon have to be purified, if not then you get the coupons and leave.

They DO have to be all purified, even if you haven't caught them yet

Ah thank you very much guys. That having to have them all be purified thing woulda killed me. Guess I'll pop that Dragonite in the chamber and walk around a bit. Thanks again guys!

...what? Surely you would have had to have caught them in order for them to be purified...?

And if you mean that every shadow Pokemon in the game must be purified, well that's crap, because I have an Ancient Power Meganium with Frenzy Plant. (that's rubbish really, I should get Giga Drain or something...)

you dont need all the shadow pokemon purified...all you need to do is go thorugh mt. battle without switching pokemon or leaving, you can save in the midlle if you like it wont affect anything, and if you dont follow those rules you cant get the johto starters...
