Update on Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Poison).

Update #2 on Black 2.​

  • Trained my team up some more on the trainers around Nimbasa City, then took on the gym.
  • Inside the gym, Pendra evolved into Scolipede!
  • Taught Pendra Dig and dominated Elesa with it.
  • Caught Compactor the Trubbish on Route 16.
  • Continued on to Driftveil City, and Count evolved into Crobat!
  • Challenged the Driftveil gym, and after Clay defeated me once, I was able to beat Excadrill with Pendra's Dig.
  • After winning the Driftveil Tournament at the PWT, I helped Cheren and Gorman with Team Plasma.
  • On Route 6, I caught Portobello the Foongus, then got Surf HM from Cheren.
  • Did some Surf exporing in Mistralton Cave and the Castelia Sewers.
  • Played some Battle Subway and got a bunch of BP to buy vitamins.
  • Continued on to Chargestone Cave, and while inside, Deadhead evolved into Weezing!
  • Reached Mistralton City and met Prof. Juniper, then went up to Route 7, where Compactor evolved into Garbodor!
  • Scaled Celestial Tower and rang the bell, then took on the gym.
  • Skyla took my whole team to defeat (Skarmory was really tough!), although Pendra was able to do a lot of damage with Rock Slide.
  • Took the plane to Lentimas Town, and after teaching Deadhead Dark Pulse at the Move Tutor, I saved the game there.

Hey guys, I'm back with another Poison update! (Btw, this is take three of trying to post this)

Update #1: A New Challenge
Spoiler:

That's all for now. I am using screenshots instead of listing the information for my team, to show honesty and because I thought the concept was cool. (EDIT: The screenshots did not want to work with me so ignore this last sentence.) Anyway, my next update will be that of my Electric challenge, since I decided to juggle challenges. But, I will start that later, because I am starting to work on a parkour map for Minecraft (anyone who wants it, I'll give you the link when I'm done). Peace!

Time for another update:

Ultimate Elec-Mono: White2

- Finished level grinding and entered Nimbasa Gym
- Easily beat Elesa and obtained the
30px-Bolt_Badge.png
Bolt Badge

- Crossed the bridge over to Driftveil and skipped over to Chargestone Cave

- Caught a male Joltik named "BigShpider" and a female Tynamo named "Ellie"

- Level grinded for Clay and evolved Magneton into Magnezone

- Went back to Driftveil Gym and narrowly made it to Clay, but was soundly defeated by his Excadrill

- Left to level grind some more and evolved Joltik into Galvantula
- Returned to Clay and somehow managed to pull of a miracle victory netting me the
30px-Quake_Badge.png
Quake Badge

- Did the PWT and Team Plasma event then made my way through Chargestone Cave to Mistralton
- Zapped my way through Mistralton Gym, evolving Tynamo and destroying Skyla earning me the
30px-Jet_Badge.png
Jet Badge


One question, when I do my Sapphire section of my Ice-Mono challenge, since there are only two Ice Pokemon to use, can I just hack them both in at the start or should I just hack one and wait for the other at the end of the game?

Since no Dark type pokemon can be obtained before the 3rd gym in Crystal, does the "starter" have to be a Dark type or can it be a pokemon that evolves into a Dark type before the 3rd gym?

For types such as Dragon and Ice, you will be forced to hack in a Pokemon at the start of the game. It doesn't have to be Snorunt or Spheal, just an ice type that isn't, really overpowered I guess

You can only hack in one, and it can be either Spheal or Snorunt (I would go with Spheal).

The pokemon you hack in needs to either be dark or evolve into a dark Pokemon. I would go with Houndour, Murkrow, or Larvitar, since they aren't available unitl Kanto. You would then be able to use Umbreon and Sneasel before Kanto as well.


Generally speaking, when hacking in a Pokemon when you are allowed, use Pokemon that are in the Regional Pokedex.

Hey thanks for answering my question, I kinda figured I could only do the one, but I was definitely gonna pick Spheal because Walrein kicks so much ass!

Hey guys, I don't have an update yet, but I have a question. How do I beat Brock without grinding, just with a Pikachu? I don't want to overgrind, because that defeats the purpose of doing a challenge. If someone could respond, it would be much appreciated. Bye! Oh, and I have no money.

P.S. How do I upload pictures? I tried with my Poison update but it just showed a little icon, not the picture. I know how to take a screen capture with the emulators, but I must be doing something wrong with uploading. Bye!

You have no choice but to grind, unfortunately. I did it in yellow and I don't remember what level I finally was at when I defeated Brock but it was well above level 15 (I think I won finally by spamming Slam, level 20). Pikachu's early moveset in yellow isn't much different than in whatever version you're using so there's no way to get around it, unless you get REALLY lucky and somehow pull off 10 critical hits in a row.

Just like Griffinbane said, you can't beat Brock without grinding, unless you get lucky with a bunch of critical hits.

As for the screenshots, you have to upload them to a image hosting site first, I use Imgur.com, then after uploading them to the website(like imgur), copy the image URL, paste it to your posting section, and put the
tags around it.

I'm using a picture I used in a previous post as an example.

Here's how it should look if you do it right.

And here is the img url with the tags, take the *s at the ends out out.
