Just out of curiosity, am I allowed to hack in one Water type Pokemon at the start of my challenge on Yellow? The only two I can obtain before the 3rd Gym is Magikarp and Squirtle.

No. I had to use only those two until I got the Super Rod in my Blue Water monotype. I won't make you use the Magikarp until Squirtle because that's just cruel, you can use your Pikachu to try and raise it's level. I was able to have a Gyarados before Misty though just using experience in Mt Moon and some grinding outside of Cerulean.

Um... How are you going to do this exactly? there are no Dark types in this region.

Username: Charblade111
Type: Water
Challenge: Ultimate (sort of)
Game(s): FireRed, Crystal, Sapphire, Diamond

I don't have any access to 5th gen games, so I'll be doing the Ultimate challenge without 5th gen. Starting with FireRed, most likely going in chronological order.

Single Challenge, Ghost Type, Emerald
Second Update!

- Levelled Casper and Nyx up to Lv 26.
- Decimated May (OHKO)
- Moved on to Mauville City and trained against the trainers and whatnot in the local area.
- Beat Wattson (fairly easy with Nyx)
- Travellled to Fallarbor Town then to Metoer Cave then back to Mt Chimney jsut doing plot-line stuff and smashing trainers.
- Beat team Magma. Piece of cake.
- Flannery (in my opinion, easiest leader of the game) was quickly destroyed.
- Currently training in the Desert to the East of Lavaridge Town.

CURRENT TEAM:

Nyx/Sableye Lv 41 (female)
- Confuse Ray (Ghost)
- Faint Attack (Dark)
- Shadow Ball (Ghost)
- Night Shade (Ghost)

Casper/Shedinja Lv 30 (genderless)
- Cut (Normal)
- Mind Reader (Normal)
- Fury Cutter (Bug)
- Fury Swipes (Normal)

Casper hasn't been trained much because of type disadvantages (Team Magma use Dark Type and Flannery uses Fire Type). But will be training him for the normal-type gym coming up!

Ultimate Water Monotype: Blue Version
8/8

I finally had some time to work on my Water mono, and I beat Giovanni. It didn't take long, I basically just went straight to fight him. Ground types are very easy to beat. I'll probably try to beat this soon, since I don't have much left.

Righto. After beating Roxanne and retrieving the Devon Goods, I went straight to Dewford and challenged the gym right away. Nincada and Beautifly got their asses kicked by Brawly, so I figured I'd go train in the cave next to the town. I grinded them both up to level 20, where Nincada evolved and provided me with my third team member, Shedinja. I then went to town with Shedinja and won my second badge. Brawly really ought to consider some coverage.

Team so far:

Spoiler:

UPDATE
Badges: 3

After defeating Brawly, I headed off to Slateport, chased Team Aqua (or was it Team Magma?) out of there, made my way to Mauville, where I caught myself a Volbeat. Then I cheated a bit to get my hands on a Surskit - I checked out the rules, and rule #10 lets me do it, seeing as I'm playing on an emulator, and I can't really mix records with Ruby or Sapphire. So I hacked myself a low-level Surskit and went to do some grinding and threw every single Pokédollar in the Game Corner to get myself a TM13. After some grinding, I took on Wattson. His Magneton took out every single one of my Pokémon - except Shedinja, which then easily took care of the rest of his team. Right now, I'm at Meteor Falls, having just chased Team Magma out.

Current team:

Might as well. Will be trying this out. Haven't seen anything of this, so gotta ask: Is there a dupes rule? Like could I do a Psychic mono with 3 Alakazams and a Slowbro?

On the original thread there was a guide if you wanted to do a Dark monotype by hacking them in.

Update for Monotype Water on FireRed! I've decided to turn it into an ultimate challenge. Should I make a whole new sign-up form or should I just add it in here? Anyway, on to the update!

You don't have to do a new sign up, I'll just move you to Ultimate when I update.

Well, this isn't the old thread. You're free to play it that way if you want though. I won't stop you from posting either since it's still a monotype. I'll look into the method and decide what to do with your sign up.
