[Challenge] Mono-Color Challenge

[Pendraflare]

Alright, so here's one leg of my Ultimate that I started in 2014, continued with Alpha Sapphire in 2015, and didn't do anything with in 2016:

Username: Swagroar (formerly Pendraflare)
Color: Blue
Game: Black 2
Single or Ultimate?: Ultimate - As I said, already did X and Platinum in 2014, and Alpha Sapphire in 2015. Will have Soul Silver, Moon and Leaf Green (MAYBE Blue) after this.
Other rules for this round: Challenge Mode, Set battle style, will not use bag items in battle outside of Poké Balls

Spoiler:

So I started the game, fired up Challenge Mode, chose the guy and named him Blue. I picked Oshawott, and named him Ashigatana (the Japanese name of the weapon that Oshawott's evolution line uses). I took on Hugh's Level 6 Snivy and won because he used Leer while I was at 6 HP. (I used Tail Whip after my first Tackle did roughly 1/4 his health.) I did all the opening stuff, made my way to Floccesy Ranch, and caught three Pokémon - a Riolu named Emanate (how original), an Azurill named Bouncy, and a Psyduck named Dopey. I can guarantee that Azurill will not be on my final team, however.

Anyway, I didn't train much at all before going in against Hugh, but I still beat him pretty easily, as Bouncy got his Snivy's Defense to -3, he didn't use Vine Whip against Dopey and I got him into the red (maybe he didn't have it?), and Emanate finished him with Quick Attack. I went through the ranch and saved the owner's Herdier, did a bit of training, took on Alder's students, then got my team to Level 11 (except Bouncy). After beating the two trainers, it was time to take on Cheren!

I began with Bouncy against Patrat, and he used Work Up, but I counteracted with Charm (him: -1 Attack and +1 Sp Atk). That was the deal for the next five turns (him: -6 Attack and +6 Sp Atk). I then switched to Ashigatana as he used Bite for a pathetic 2 HP, then I took a Tackle for three, but Water Gun was looking to do 1/4 his health. Same thing for the next two turns. Then he healed and I got him right above half. Two more exchanges between Tackle and Water Gun and he was finished, and I was just short of activating Oran Berry.
Lillipup was next. I wasted no time in switching back to Bouncy, and he used Work Up, because of course he did (him: +1 Attack and Sp Atk). He used it again, but I counteracted with Charm (him: +2 Sp Atk). But then he just cut straight to the chase and used Tackle, which did over half, but my Oran Berry softened the blow before I used Charm again (him: -2 Attack, me: 23/32 HP). Then he used Work Up again but I counteracted with Charm, which was the deal for the next four turns (him: -6 Attack). His Tackle did 1/5 my health, but my Frustration did horribly (me: 17/32 HP, him: 9/10 or so HP). I switched to Dopey and took a light Tackle (me: 28/32 HP). He used Tackle, and I got in a Disable, keeping him from using it. But then he used Bite…which caused me to flinch, then he killed me with a critical hit. I went to Ashigatana, took a Bite, ate the Oran Berry, used Water Gun for a decent hit, and I flinched before he was no longer disabled. That was a mistake. After another Tackle, I used Water Gun, and he ate his Oran Berry. Another Tackle knocked me below half, and so did my Water Gun. The next Tackle got me into Torrent range, but even then I couldn't quite do the job. I finished him with the next hit, however.
Pidove was last. (Have I ever mentioned that I fucking hate this critical music when it interrupts the epic fights?) He killed me with Quick Attack, then I went back to Bouncy, who was just under half dead from before. He used Work Up, but I counteracted with Charm, which went on for six turns (him: -6 Attack). Then right off the bat, he uses Quick Attack and kills me with a critical hit. Emanate was my last bet, and we both used Quick Attack and both barely did anything. We were speed tied, and after five turns I managed to finish him. Whew!

So I got the Balance Badge and TM83 for Work Up, along with the Xtransceiver and Return from Bianca. Now for Virbank City, and to get Riolu's happiness up… By the Nine Hells…

Excuse the double post, but I got bored and did a thing that's kinda seperate from an actual update.


I went ahead and made a list of the first available Pokemon for each color and each game. Others might find this helpful I believe. I think I got the idea from one of the older monotype threads that made a similar index.

Pokemon in red are only attainable after the second gym, meaning you'd be able to hack/trade in a mon as per the rules.

Note: These are the first available encounters. They aren't necessarily the only pokemon available to you in the early game (ex. in Pokemon Yellow, the first red pokemon you can get is the Magikarp sold by the guy on Route 3, while you'd probably be better off with a Paras which are available soon after in Mt. Moon).

Here it is in all its glory:

ping

I found 2 errors in the list, both in relation to Rattata-A

SM Black: Remove Alolan Rattata. Ratatta is Purple, Raticate is Brown.
SM Purple: I was going to say you forgot Alolan Grimer in Hau'oli, but I also forgot about Rattata.

REGARDLESS...

Username: Decidueye
Color: Yellow
Game: Sun
Ultimate: No

Multiple Alolan forms (Persian, Ninetails, Chu, Eggs) are open, weather control (Ninetails?, Pelipper), a couple mons I've really wanted to use but never could (Mimikyu, Ribombee, Ninetails), Island Scan mons (Leavanny, Axew, CYNDAQUIL), And then a couple random Electrics (Jolteon, Electavire). I think the only one I missed from above was Hypno, who is ugly as hell. It will be a very un-yellow team tho.

 

[Halfcadence]

snip

Edit: I left a comment on the discussion page of the List of Pokemon by Color page of Bulbapedia and I think it pushed them to update the page for Gen VII. Seems like they agree with my reasoning.

Previous response:

Spoiler:

I based this off the actual in-game Pokedex on my copy of Moon for Alolan Rattata, which sorts both it and Raticate as black (and Alolan Grimer as green). All Bulbapedia says for them and most other Alolan forms is "other forms may have other colors". They also say this for Pokemon like Shellos/Gastrodon, so it's a bit ambiguous, but It'll ultimately be up to jdthebud as to how he wants to handle this if/when he updates the rules for Su/Mo. I figured this would be the most official way of handling it for now. Granted, I'm not very far into Moon, so seeing other choices they make as to how the Pokedex sorts by color might color my decision on the matter (pun totally intended). So, not so much an "error" but a decision I consciously made. Thanks for the feedback though! For now I added a note to my post explaining my reasoning.

_________________

Also thank you for posting since now I can post a new update without triple posting :3

Forever ago, long before this latest fervor of playing that I've had, I started a Blue run on my physical Platinum cartirdge so I could play it on the bus. I finally got around to finishing it recently!

Ultimate Blue Monocolor Challenge (Platinum) - First and FINAL Update

Spoiler:

It's kinda silly by how much the Blue runs seem to be the easiest. The only thing that gave me trouble in the run was of course Cynthia, and only because I couldn't be bothered to grind before the E4 (as always). For that fight, putting Light Screen on my Luxray was the best thing I have ever done in my lifetime. Empoleon's Quick Claw came in cluth as well, but if I could have gone back in time I probably would have chose a different Water type, since the weakness to Ground was fairly crippling. P.S. Garchomp is realreal strong.

Color: Red

I may do all the colors on Fire Red, but I will start with Red

 

[jdthebud]

I've decided that when playing Sun and Moon, the in-game Pokedex color is what you use to guide your team, especially when in comes to Alolan Forms. For previous generation games, if the Pokemon color has changed depending on the form, then you can use either the old color or the new color if you want, but if you choose to use it in the new color, you need to use the form that has the color. This will still allow older runs in the old color to qualify.

For example, in Generation IV, Wormadam used to be Gray, but now each Cloak form has a different color. You can use any form in a Gray Monocolor, or the Plant Cloak in a Green, Sandy Cloak in a Brown, and Trash Cloak in a Red.

A more freer example is Cherrim - it can now be used in either a Pink or a Purple Monocolor, whereas before it was limited to Pink only. This is because the battle conditions for the Pink form is very limiting (only in sunshine) and the original form is actually Purple anyway.

Now, if there are Mega Evolutions that have a different color than their base form, they still can't be used. Which was always the rule in the first place, but I just want to make sure that doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Mega Charizard X and Mega Audino are still the only ones that have this restriction.

In any case, feel free to ask me questions about qualifying Pokemon anytime.

And on that note, here's an update on my game.

Update on Ultimate Purple Monocolor Challenge.

Update #3 on Platinum.

• Started in Pastoria City. Defeated all the trainers around the city, and Slugglish and Twintails evolved.
• Wake wasn't too difficult despite my lack of super effective moves and team weaknesses to Ice and Water.
• The Galactic Bomb blew up, so I tracked down the culprit and got the SecretPotion from Cynthia.
• Headed to Celstic Town, where I defeated Cyrus and got Surf.
• Used Surf to do some water training, then went to Canalave City, where I defeated Barry again.
• Took on the Gym, and Byron was a breeze with Acrobat's Earthquake.
• Another bomb exploded after that, then I trained in the Iron Islands before defeating Team Galactic at the lakes.
• Trudged through the snow to Snowpoint City, where I defeated Candice without too much trouble.
• Fought Team Galactic in Veilstone City and used a Dusk Stone I found there to evolve Missy into Mismagius.
• Then I defeated Cyrus at HQ before climbing Mt. Coronet to foil his plans with Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina.
• Cyrus actually took a couple tries to beat in the Distortion World because I had to leave a slot for a Rock Climb slave.
• After vanquishing Team Galactic once and for all, I was able to access Sunyshore City.
• Volkner went down with all OHKOs to Acrobat's Earthquake, then I saved.

Ummm

One last ruling check: in-battle color changes i.e. Cherrim or, more relevantly, Yellow Core Minior (is Brown when above 50% health, Yellow when below 50% according to Pokedex) in gen 7 are allowed y/y? I'm assuming yes for now because the Pokédex says so, but if you want to correct me that works

Decidueye's Sun Monoyellow
Objectives: 6/11

MVPs:
Totem Gumshoos: Norzen the Wingull
Kahuna Hala: Anne the Cutiefly

Totem Lurantis: Braev the Quilava (Z-Move: Braev's Inferno Overdrive [Flame Wheel])
Kahuna Olivia: Janne the Jolteon

Pretty easy run so far. I had a lot of trouble with Salazzle, who 2HKOed everyone not named Anne, who was a 1HKO. Eventually just revived Norzen 3 times (and got lucky). Olivia was the other battle I thought was going to be an issue with 3/4 of my team weak to Rock, but Janne literally soloed her first try by Charge Beaming the Nosepass to death and +3 Hidden Power OHKOing the other two. I hope Vikavolt will just be a Braev steamroll and I might have a Minior to try out on ya boi Guzma.

Update on Ultimate Purple Monocolor Challenge.

Final Update (#4) on Platinum.

• Started in Sunyshore City. Got Waterfall and used it to explore a bit.
• Surfed to Victory Road, then boxed Missy for the trip through since I need Turtwig for Rock Climb :(.
• Made it out without much trouble, then defeated Barry for the last time.
• Did some grinding and EV training, as well as nabbing a Black Sludge from a wild Croagunk for Vexi.
• Finalized movesets, then used all my Rare Candies to get everyone to L56 for the Elite Four.
• Aaron was soloed by Acrobat's Earthquake, Aerial Ace, and Stone Edge.
• Bertha was unexpectedly tough since Sluggish went down early on in the fight. I ended up using everyone for this fight. :O
• Flint wasn't too difficult once the sunlight was cleared but he did take a team effort.
• Lucian was handled by Missy and Freakout pretty easily.
• Cynthia was quite tough as usual. I used everyone for this fight, and each member took down one of hers for a full team effort!
• Here's the video and play-by-play of the Cynthia fight:

Update on Ultimate Purple Monocolor Challenge.

Update #1 on Black 2.

Name: Indigo
Rival: Hugh
Starter: Snivy

• Activated Challenge Mode, then caught Whiskers the Purrloin on Route 19.
• Beat Hugh in Flocessy Ranch, then after grinding a little, I took on the gym.
• Cheren was very difficult to beat with only one Pokemon, and I had to try it a few times before I won.
• Moved on to Virbank City, and after beating everyone in the Complex and doing a couple Funfest Missions, I took on the gym.
• Just prior to fighting Roxie, Whiskers evolved into Liepard! That made the fight a lot easier, and I won without much trouble, though I did end up at 1 HP prior to leveling up.
• After defeating Team Plasma, I headed to Castelia City.
• Went straight for the Sewers, where after quite a long time searching, I nabbed Toxix the Grimer.
• Beat as many of the trainers I could inside, then took on the Castelia gym.
• Defeated Burgh after a couple tries, mostly thanks to Toxix's Eviolite helping her tank hits.
• Beat Colress on Route 4, then saved the game.

Ultimate Brown Monocolor Challenge (Moon) - Second and FINAL Update

Spoiler:

Thoughts on the last challenge of the game (and a video of the end of it) under the jump, to avoid spoilers in case you haven't played the game yet.

Spoiler:

This E4 is probably my favorite iteration yet, just for the record
-Hala was probably the hardest fight, and the one i took on first. He took out the majority of my team and I had to use two of my Max Revives to get through
-Olivia was easy. Invincible was great, Iron Defense is brokenly good. Belwas got some really good Quick Claw rolls in.
-Acerola was easy but tedious because of some choices I made. I got into a stall war with her Palossand vs. my Stark. Ended up using two PP restore items. If I could have gone back I would have re-taught Stark a Dark move.
-Invincible swept all of Kahili's team with Rock Slide and Iron Defense except for the last chunk of Crobat's health. Used a couple Ethers here too because Mandibuzz's defense is ridiculous
-The Professor was simple as well. Invincible pretty much swept him too, including one-shotting his Ninetales with Heavy Slam after a lucky Blizzard miss.

Update on Ultimate Purple Monocolor Challenge.

Update #2 on Black 2.

• Continuing from Route 4, I went north to Nimbasa City, then on to Route 16, where I nabbed Psyqueen the Gothita.
• Trained up my team on the triners in Desert Resort and the other routes around Nimbasa City.
• After roller-coating my way through the old gym, I took on the Nimbasa Gym.
• Elesa was pretty tough because of Volt Switch being annoying, but I eventually was able to pull it out.
• Soon after that, Psyqueen evolved into Gothorita!
• Continued on to Driftveil City, and taught Signal Beam to Psyqueen and Seed Bomb to Whiskers with the Move Tutor.
• After defeating Rood and receiving Zorua, I did some training around the city, then took on the gym.
• Clay was too high leveled, so I did some more Audino training to get everyone to L36, then tried again.
• Was finally able to take down Clay with the help of a crit Seed Bomb from Whiskers on Excadrill.
• Went to the PWt, where I easily won the Driftveil Tournament, then I helped Hugh and Cheren take down Team Plasma.
• Explored the rest of Relic Tunnel, where Toxix evolved into Muk!
• Got Surf from Cheren on Route 6, then went through the Chargestone Cave to Mistralton City, where I saved.
