Ultimate Monotype Challenge

[Kazuath]

I completed my normal type challenge in Yellow. I beat it using:
Clefable Lvl 62
Raticate Lvl 58

I would post the screenshots, but I don't have enough posts for that to be enabled!
Off to Crystal.

[Impo]

i have beaten pyrce in my crystal,
and now trying to beat team rocket in radio tower,
will post team after beating Clair .

[Ninja Caterpie]

I have a dilemma.

I'm in the SS. Anne with a level 32 Charmeleon and nothing else.

If I battle everyone, I will evolve Charmeleon. Great, more power.

However, Surge is effective against me.

If I don't, I'll lose valuable EXP, but I have more defensive ability with Surge.

I think I'll probably do that latter.

[Sora247_2009]

Evolve it. Flamethrower is going to OHKO all of Surge's pokemon anyway.

On-topic, I'll be starting a poison run as soon as HGSS is released over here in the UK. I'm saying this now cause it means I can get Gen 1 over and done with. I'll be using: Leaf Green > Soul Silver > Emerald > Platinum.

[Charizoise]

I can't do the challenge anymore because I lost my gameboy

[Fire Wolf]

So yeah, I took a long time, but actually, I did it 2 days ago, internet was dead. I was bored because of that, I was at Ice Path, so I went to Ice Path to defeating Red in 2 and a half hours :D. On to Sapphire, though I will miss my lovely Gengar there . I will probably use Banette/Dusclops/Sableye in it, Shedinja sucks and is too frail.
Final Team:

Gengar @ Nevermeltice (didn't have a better item lol )
Level 82, Male
~ Shadow Ball
~ Thunderpunch
~ Psychic
~ Ice Punch

On to Hoenn!

[Nathanyiel]

Allright, I left off when I caught my Trapinch, right?
-Evolved trapinch to vibrava
-Took on my Dad's gym with Vibrava alone. Dig was killer on his slakings, he would attack when I was underground then loaf around when I came up.
-Headed off toward fortree city!
-Helped out wattson with his power troubles in new mauville
-Continued up toward fortree. It was either here or after Fortree I saw steven and he asked me if I used many types of pokemon or only one, hahaha
-Got to fortree and was confounded by and invisible wall. Seeing as I could not get into the gym, I continued onwards.
-It's steven! He gave me the Devon Scope...Wait, when did Sliph get replaced?!
-Went back to the gym and took advantage of the Keckleon's ability, using two dragonbreaths
-Took down Winoa (I think that's her name)
-pushed onward and reached Lilicove City...wait, team Magma again???
-Got up Mt. Pyre
-Beat the Magmas again
-Had no clue what to due...then remembered to head to Slateport
-Gave chase to the Magmas, finding them in their underwater lair, which I destroyed thoroughly
-Continued to Mossdeep
-The twins weren't too hard, I just kept attacking until they ran out of there seemingly infinite store of potions.
-It took forever to get through seafloor cavern, the strength puzzles were a pain
-Killed Maxie without trouble.
-Went to Sootopolis and killed Groudon for exp.
-Beat Wallace without too much trouble, it was just his milotic's ice beam, which I solved with a crit
-Went to Evergrande (I never got why they named it that)
-Victory road, blah blah
-Beat Wally, who had made quite an improvement since the last time we fought. I almost died
-I saw this as an invitation to do some grinding.
-Allright, E4 time! (also, shelgon and vibrava evolved somewhere along the way, I can't remember where for each)

Sidney: An easy fight. Salamence's aerial ace destroyed most of his grassy buddies, while dragon claw took care of the rest.

Pheobe: Dragon claws all around. Not much to say, I just switched to Flygon and used earthquake whenever she used curse, usually killing herself in the process.

Glacia: The hardest battle I have ever fought. Salamance killed Glalie with a fire blast, then survived an ice beam from one of her sealeos, killing it with two dragon claws. Next up, walrein. Damaged it severely with dragon claw, died, then sent out flygon. First used a revive, and blissard missed. HAX got a crit with earthquake and killed it. Killed sealeo with two earthquakes. Glalie finished off Flygon, and then more hax, Salamance got a crit with fire blast. I honestly should not have won.

Drake: Dragon claw

Steven: felt easy after glalie, but it wasn't. Killed skarmory with a fire blast and Claydol with three dragon claws. All it used was barrier and light screen. Cradily died to an areal ace and a dragon claw, using mega drain in the middle, and then aggron. Switched to Flygon and...I didn't use an ether for earthquake and unknowingly used it all up...But it didn't matter because he was incredibly stupid with his aggron and missed a lot, so after a large number of crunches it died. His Armaldo was killed by a crit rock tomb, and i swithed to salamance as he sent out Metagross. excellent hax, killed it with a crit fire blast.

LEG 3 COMPLETE

Final Team:
Lv. 55
-Aerial Ace
-Dragon Claw
-Fire Blast
-Strength

Lv. 52
-Crunch
-Rock Tomb
-Dragonbreath
-Earthquake



I misclicked and caught a wingull, then never bothered to put in in the PC

[Charmageddon]

Hey, I'm actually doing stuff! What's going on?

I went up and beat my rival at Burned Tower. He wasn't too hard. Jonathan (Hitmonlee) took care of Haunter with a couple of Mud-slaps. I switched to Warren (Hitmonchan) for Zubat, who went down to a Thunder and Ice Punch. I spammed Thunderpunches against Croconaw, who just spammed Water Guns in response. It took a while because his stupid Zubat already confused me. Back to Jonathan and Mud-slap for Magnemite. Saw some dogs/cats/gerbils in the basement, and some creep called Eusine told me that he was looking for Suicine. I told him his parents must have been prophetic by giving him almost exactly the same name as his obsession.

I went down to the gym and fought the dullest bunch of Ghost trainers in the world. Ever heard of a Misdreavous, guys? Anyway, Mud-slap and Elemental Punches took care of the mooks. Mud-slap took down Morty's Gastly easily, but I switched to Warren for Haunter. It took lots of punches, and annoyingly just when it was in the red it used Hypnosis. Looking through my bag I found that I hadn't bought anything to cure sleep, so I rode it out using several Super potions (I could have switched I know, but I didn't want to risk getting another one Hypnotised). Gengar came in, so back to Jonathan for more Mud-slaps. Gengar just spammed Hypnosis in return, but all of them missed! I love this move! And the lack of Levitate! The second Haunter took a few slaps of mud too, and I won the Fog Badge, without even having to bring out my higher-levelled Hitmontop.

Team is just the same except Jonathan knows Rock Smash instead of Tackle, and him and Warren are a few levels higher.

EDIT: Just reached Olivine, Rock Smash has been replaced by Hi Jump Kick and all team members are lvl. 26.

[Alakazam17]

Okay, after three days since last updating, I've went through these last three pages and updated again. Good going, people! :D

[Nathanyiel]

Ugh...I just deleted my update before posting it on accident T.T
Well, long story short I'm at Eterna city and I just beat Gardenia but have yet to take on the Galactic Eterna Building. I started with chimchar so my rival's rapidash, empoleon, and rosarade will be weak to earthquake from gible.
Team:
Lv. 24, Adamant Nature
-Take Down
-Sand-Attack
-Dragon Rage
-Sandstorm
I put this in my update before it was deleted, but I'm not evolving until Lv. 27 when he learns Dragon Claw.

EDIT:
Hopefully I won't delete this time...
-Fought up the Eterna Building. Jupiter's skuntank got hit hard by slash, I got 2 crits in a row
-Headed down Cycling road, then headed into mt. Coronet
-Met Cyrus...I mean who was that?
-saved a buneary. I'm pretty hardcore
-found out my mom had been stalking me when I met her in Hearthome o.0
-Couldn't fight the Gym, so I moved on. Better places to be.
-Evolved gible after it learned Dragon Claw (yay)
-got to Solaceon town. By the way, I hate breeders and their huge underleveled teams
-There was nothing to do, so I continued north
-After a long journey, I reached Veilstone
-on my way to the gym dawn of couse had to show her ugly face for no reason.
-Fought the gym trainers
-Maylene was challenging...or at least her Lucario. Everything else died to dragon claw. Her Lucario presented a problem due to its steel typing. I had to use dragon rages to take it out, and Maylene kept using potions T.T
-Returned to Hearthome, but this time took a different path...
-Found myself in Pastoria City. I killed a galactic who was acting suspicious
-Crasher Wake presented no trouble whatsoever. Gabite owned him with Dragon claw and several slashes.
-Cynthia gave me some meds for pokemon
-I healed the crazy psyducks on Route 210

That's all for now...

[Cardwell74]

I started again on Crystal, but it's constantly giving me a 'This game is meant to be played on the Gameboy Color' message... despite the fact i'm using one lol. I'm actually going to take my lumps and try again later with a different type. I already started a ground mono on ruby today, so after that, I'll try my luck in this Mega-challenge again.

[Impo]

i bet Crystal :D .
Red was really hard, lucky i had so many revives and full restores.

[Charmageddon]

OK, I did all the Lighthouse/Sea stuff, got to Cianwood and slapped myself for forgetting to catch a Fly slave. Wandered up to the top of the island and met Suicine again. The creep with the Suicine fetish challenged me to a battle. Jonathan the Hitmonlee kicked his arse and I told him to stop stalking me. The gym was pretty easy. One Hi Jump Kick from Jonathan beat the Primeape, then several Thunderpunches from Warren weaked Poliwrath before a couple of lucky Dynamicpunches took him down. Andrew finished him off with Strength.

Back to Olivine, where embarassingly I got my arse handed to me by Jasmine. I'm gonna do the Mahogany/Rocket stuff before going back to her.

[raekuul]

Oh boy. It's GRINDING TIME!

(Is at the entrance to Mt. Silver)

[Charmageddon]

Ooh, I hate grinding for Red. The level jump between him and Blue, with just some lame-ass wild Tangelas to train against is just ridiculous.

[mondays suck]

I personally prefer using the Elite 4 for grinding instead of the area around Mt.Silver. It's more fun and they give more Exp.

[Dark Sceptile]

Well, I finished my Fire Challenge.

-Beat the harder E4 in Platinum..

Team:

Infernape Lv.75
-Close Combat

[Nathanyiel]

HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!!! OH MY GOD I JUST WROTE ANOTHER UPDATE AND WHEN I PUT IN MY GARCHOMP IMAGE IT CLOSED THIS PAGE!!!!!!!!!!

ahh...well this time I think I'll just write a very condensed update...

-Got through the fog to Celestic town
-beat some galactics and got surf
-Went back to Hearthome without fly on accident (facepalm)
-Killed some ghosts and got a nifty-keen badge! ghostbusters!
-Got to canalave, this time with fly in hand (thank god)
-Pwned Byron with Dig, and fire fang for Bronzor. Oh, did I mention Gabite evolved?
-got the Earthquake tm now that I can use strength.

I put this in my update before it was deleted, but i'm assuming garchomp is not an uber for the sake of this competition...there is a rule on not using ubers right? or maybe it was just legendaries...

Also, I feel your pain raekuul

Team

Garchomp Lv. 46
-Earthquake
-Slash
-Fire Fang
-Dragon Claw
No image!!! I'm not risking another delete!!

[Charmageddon]

You can use Ubers, it's just legendaries that are banned.

God, the Rockets are boring in GSC. If I see one more Koffing I will personally blow up the region (I will use Self-destruct for ironic purposes). So I killed the Rockets in Mahogany and the wiped out Pryce. I forget what happened, it was just a jumble of Fighting moves from each of my Hitmons. I went back to Jasmine and swept her with Jonathan. Did all the Goldenrod Rocket stuff, then went to Blackthorn. The three Dragonairs went down to several Ice Punches each, the last one being a serious pain in the bottom with parahax. Kingdra was annoying, I could have 2HKOed it with Jonathan's Hi Jump Kick if hax hadn't been on her side again with smokescreen/accurahax, plus an irritating Hyper Potion. Andrew finished her off with Strength. Did the Dragon's Den crap and won the Rising Badge.

Warren/Hitmonchan

Lvl. 40
- Mach Punch
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch
- Thunderpunch
Great coverage, shame about the crap Special Attack. I fed him a few Calciums to boost it a little.

Jonathan/Hitmonlee

Lvl. 39
- Swift
- Mud Slap
- Hi Jump Kick
- Focus Energy
The best thing about this moveset is the raw power of Hi Jump Kick. Swift is average, Mud Slap is barely still useful and I haven't used FE once.

Andrew/Hitmontop

Lvl. 39
- Strength
- Thief
- Hidden Power (Fighting)
- Dig
I was hoping for a HP of a different and more useful type like Water or Grass, but I guess the STAB is quite good. I forgot Thief was a special move when I taught it, so it's a little bit useless. Still, it'll hopefully help me out against Will.

[Nathanyiel]

Update time!
-All of my Twinleaf buddies showed up and voted me to go to all the lakes in Sinnoh.
-I went to Valor Lake and killed a new Galactic member, Saturn. Earthquake for her toxicroak!
-Went to Verity Lake and beat Mars once again. these galactics are surprisingly weak...
-Ugh...trekked through mt. coronet and a huge snowfield which took forever and arrived at Acuity Lake...but the galactics wouldn't let me in. Due to Nintendo's attempt at a plot, I was not allowed to battle them.
-Beat candice in her gym. You would think it would be a hard battle since she's ice type, but her Snover and Abomasnow are 4x weak to fire fang, and her sneasel was OHKO'd by it too due to its pathetic defenses. I have no clue why she has a Medicham, but an earthquake took care of that.
-I returned to Acuity Lake expecting a battle with Jupiter but...nothing.
-Pissed at Jupiter for running away, I flew to the Galactic HQ to give her a piece of my mind.
-Took a key from a grunt and got into the warehouse. the Galactics are smart enough to put a tunnel from the warehouse to the HQ so I destroyed them from the inside out.
-I battled Cyrus at the end of my rampage, and it was slightly challenging, since I only had a super-effective move for sneasel. I used dragon claw to take out his Murkrow and Golbat, since I couldn't use earthquake. The tough part was his haxor golbat, who kept confusing me.
-Afterwards, Saturn showed up again! Her team was owned by earthquakes and a fire fang for Bronzor.
-I justly set Mesperit, Azlef, and Uxie free.
-Mt. Coronet is looming...so i saved
Nice, it didn't delete this time...

Team:
Lv. 51 @ Flame Plate, Adamant
-Earthquake
-Rock Tomb
-Fire Fang
-Dragon Claw
Destroys everything in its path! Just before saving I remembered where the Rock Tomb TM is and now he can finally deal with flying types!!

[raekuul]

Red's Pikachu was completely useless against my Grounder. Screech + Slash + Slash = Win

Blastoise. Blizzard. Bleh. At least I was able to land a Leech Seed before he blizzarded me to death. And Zap Canyon came in very handy.

Espeon. Poison + Leech Seed + Just tough enough to survive Psychic + A she-tonne of Full Restores = Win

Charizard. Woodsie was not fast enough to land a Leech Seed, so I have to do this the hard way: SandStorm + Sand-Attack + A Whole Lot of Revives + Luck.

Snorlax. Not so lucky here. Need to get very lucky to get Woodsie fully healed long enough to start Leech Seed... which Zap Cannon provided! Yay Pokey!

Venusaur. Wasted all his Sunny Beams on Woodsie, and then decided to keep launching Solarbeams at Grey Eagle... on turns when he was in the air. Stupid...

So yeah, win for me. Time to move on to Emerald. Can't wait to get to Glacia...

Woo...

(For the Record, Glacia is currently murdering my non-MTC team...)

[Nathanyiel]

Update!
-Fought up to the top of Mt. Coronet
-Destroyed Mars and Jupiter. I fire fanged both their bronzors and they sent out their golbats. When I was killing Mars' bronzor Jupiter's golbat used air cutter. Then I earthquaked their Skuntank and Purugly to oblivion.
-Battled Cyrus. I OHKO'd his Honchkrow with rock slide (I picked up the tm in Mt. Coronet on the way up) and then I used fire fang on his weavile, which somehow survived by 1 HP, I thought it was dead then it said "restored HP with Sitrus berry" and I thought it would use an ice attack...but it used X-scissor. Fail. Next up was Gyarados. I used rock slide, which didn't kill it, and it used earthquake. then I used dragon claw to finish the job. I proceeded to OHKO his Crobat with another rock slide. Not too hard
-Dawn and Rowan somehow got up to the top of the mountain...
-Killed Dialga with earthquake. goodbye, fellow dragon...
-Dawn and Rowan made we walk all the way down Coronet
-Got to sunnyshore. bothered volkner to make him return to his gym.
-Painstakingly got through the gym puzzle and fought volkner. Earthquake killed his entire team except Octillery, for which I used dragon claw.
-Got to Victory Road, and slowly made my way through.
-my idiot rival made an appearance. He thinks he's so clever...rock slide for staraptor, fire fang on heracross, dragon rush on Snorlax (I replaced dragon claw), and earthquake was planned super effective for the rest (rosarade, rapidash, empoleon)
-Almost going to take on the E4 and finish the challenge!!

TEAM
Lv. 62 @ Stone Plate, Adamant
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
-Crunch
-Dragon Rush
I'm gonna do a bit more grinding, I don't want to encounter problems with Cynthia's Garchomp or Milotic, or with any of Lucian's team. Also, I switched out Fire Fang for Crunch just for Lucian because I don't really need Fire Fang for much other than his Bronzong, which I think I can take out easily enough.

EDIT:
All right, here's how the battles went:

Aaron: Rock slide OHKO'd his entire team except for Drapion, which I killed with an Earthquake. Not a scratch.

Bertha: I used Dragon Rush on her Quagsire, Whishcash, and Hippodown, all of them got OHKO'd, though it probably wouldn't have killed Hippodown if it hadn't ben a crit . I used Earthquake on Sudowoodo and Golem.

Flint: Ahh, the fire-type user who has only 2 fire types...He'd be banned from this challenge for sure. Anyways, it was a bit of the challenge due to the variety of his team. I used Earthquake on his Rapidash, Steelix, and Infernape, all of which were OHKO'd. He then sent out Lopunny and it used fire punch (?) after I missed with dragon rush, causing minimal damage. I then killed it because dragon rush managed to actually hit. For his Drifblim, I just kept throwing rock slides at it. It took 3 to kill it, and I luckily didn't sent it into the red zone so he didn't use a full restore.

Lucian: I swept through Mr. Mime and Alakazam with crunch before he sent out Bronzong. I began to regret forgetting Fire Fang as he proceeded to set up calm minds. However, he never attacked and after 4 crunches he was dead. 2 more Crunches took out Girafarig and Medicham.

Cynthia: A saddening battle to say the least. Beforehand I restored all of Garchomp's PP and healed it up. She opened out with her Spiritomb and I fired away with Earthquakes. It took 2 to kill it, and in between it set up Embargo. Looks like I won't be healing... Next up, Garchomp of course. I struck first and...missed with dragon rush...Of course she hit with hers and I lost.

*sigh*

Gonna take on the E4 again, I guess.

EDIT: Went through the rest of the E4 again. Don't really want to write it all up though.

Cynthia - 2nd Attempt: Began the same. However, this time after my Dragon Rush missed (I thought I was dead for sure) hers did too! My next attack connected and Garchomp went down. She then sent out Gastrodon, which I disposed of with an earthquake and a crunch to finish it off, since it luckily hadn't fallen in the red zone. It used an earthquake in between, but it only brought me near yellow. Next up was Milotic. If I recall correctly, it has ice beam, which I had to look out for. Thankfully, Milotic's poor defense caused it to die from an Earthquake. She sent out Rosarade, and I killed it with Earthquake as well, along with her last pokemon, Lucario.
That's all for now...

Wait a second, I'm DONE!!!!


CHALLENGE COMPLETE FOR THE DRAGON TYPE!!

FINAL TEAM
Lv. 69 @ Stone Plate, Adamant
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
-Crunch
-Dragon Rush

Ahhh, finally this challenge is over...I do want to take it again, but not right now. Makes me wonder what type to use. I think I might make videos of my gym battles too, that would be cool. There are only three other types that haven't been completed yet, Ghost, Ice, and Rock and I think it would be cool to have a first completed for 2 types but I think I might want to do one with a bit more variety this time around, since I was pretty much soloing all the games. If I do pick one of those three though it'll probably be Ice.

[Impo]

okay, i'll update for blue (already done crystal )



-Got Squirtle from Oak

@Impo you have to do it in order...sorry, but Blue comes before Crystal. I guess you could continue, but you'd have to do Crystal again...

[Fire Wolf]

Nope, he doesn't need to do Crystal again, the person who completed the challenge did in this order: Johto -> Kanto -> Hoenn -> Sinnoh
