Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

[jdthebud]

I got a question;

Can we hack in a Mew as an HM mule? :)

Why would you need to do that? Although I have seen that here. I think it should be fine as long you aren't using it in battle AT ALL, lol.

There isn't really a need for that, though. You can find plenty of slaves in the games.

FINISHED!

After about 20 hours, I finally finished Kanto in the Water-type Ultimate!

Here's my final team:

Warlord the Blastoise [Lv75]
Vapouriton the Vaporeon [Lv26]
Garydoes the Gyarados [Lv31]
Lapdance the Lapras [Lv26]
Mule the Rattata [MULE]
PIDGEY the Pidgey [MULE]


I nearly solo'd it with Blastoise. However, I did use my lapras and gyarados so I don't get a solo for that :P

Please add my name to the Kanto list for Water!

Time to tackle the JOHTO REGION! >:D
I'll probably post updates on here.

But do people even READ other people's updates? Like, do people actually care about my progress? :/

I always read the updates of challenges I'm doing, and even ones I plan to do, like this one.

Update for Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Dark).

But do people even READ other people's updates? Like, do people actually care about my progress? :/

Congrats on finishing Kanto. And yes, I read all the updates in challenges that I participate in. Don't worry, most people do read other people's updates.

JD I AM VERY JEALOUS OF YOUR PURRLOIN!!!!!!

I know, I couldn't believe it either. By the way, every pokemon I have caught so far in this game (darks) has at least 1 IV of 31, lol. Scraggy has 31 IVs in Speed and Special Defense (30 in Special Attack too, lame), and the Sandile I got has 31 in Special defense as well (and 28 in Attack). Talk about luck of the draw!

Anyway, here's my next update.

Update #2 on Black.

• Started on Route 4, and I hurried up to the Desert Resort, where I caught Gangsta the Sandile.
• Trained Gangsta up there and also beat the trainers I skipped earlier in Route 4. Gansta evolved into Krokorok!
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Arrived in Nimbasa City, and after beating N pretty handily, I took on the gym.
• Elesa was cake, Gangsta soloed her with Rock Tomb and Dig.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Continued on to Route 5, where I beat Cheren and met Alder, then crossed the bridge to Driftveil City.
• Cleared out the Cold Storage, then took on the gym.
• Clay was soloed by Punker, who took advantage of Swagger (snapped out of confusion after one turn) to sweep with Brick Break and Faint Attack.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Beat Bianca and got Fly, then saved on Route 6.

Team Shade:

Gangsta the Naive Krokorok, ♀ - L33 @ Amulet Coin
Ability: Intimidate
Moves: Crunch, Rock Tomb, Dig, Swagger

Lisa the Adamant Liepard, ♀ - L34
Ability: Limber

[Tyranitar042]

Game: Black
Name: Zion
Type: Dark

My challenge was very slow at first, with my unluckiness i think my purrloin(now Liepard) has no ivs in anything. lol but i barely managed to beat the first gym and only because of Creature's ability unburden and eating a berry to outspeed and growl that stupid pansage till it did a measly 4 damage every vine whip and for some reason when u sand-attack it 6 times it is still 100% accurate or is that just my luck on this challenge?

Liepard: Creature
Lv. 24
Ability: Unburden

Hone Claws
Fake Out
Fury Swipes
Thief

I'm fighting alot of Audino and stealing their berries and gaining major exp. (Did u know with a 5 hit fury swipe its max damage will be 90 with hone claws the damage is boosted and with a sitrus berry held and used with the ability unburden you are ready to sweep teams like no tommorow.) I'm playing more tonight but ui just wanted to post that before i forgot it ttyl.

^Technically you've already beaten the Ultimate,White is optional.

Say what now? The rules state that B/W are required. @ _ @

It really doesn't matter if they are required or not, though. The games exist and thus I must use them to test myself. I cannot skip a game for any excuse, even if it is one that is plausible such as "it's not required". It's just....it's so wrong...I can't....whyyy??? Why would it not be required? @ _ @ I-it's like...like, uhm...wearing mixed-matched socks. ; A ;

 

[.: Symbiosis :.]

Sorry them it used to not be needed '-_-

• Got my Pokedex upgraded a little, then followed Skyla to the Celestial Tower.
• Punker evolved into Scrafty!
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Scaled the tower and rang the bell, then headed back to Mistralton City to take on the gym.

• Got Surf from Alder, then headed through Twist Mountian to Icirrus City.

• After getting the Light Stone, I made my way to Opelucid City.

Caught Eiran the Modest Aron and Omnni the Lonely Mawile and grinded them. Taught Aron Rock Tomb.

Defeated Brawly with some help with Mud-Slap on Aron

Headed to Fallarbor town and caught Krayne the Gentle Skarmory. Grinded her.

Defeated Team Magma on Mt. Chimney and Flannery in Lavaridge

Returned to Petalburg and defeated Norman and got Surf

Did the New Mauville side-quest and caught Mythril the Gentle Magnemite. Grinded it. Got Thunderbolt and used it on Mythril.

After grinding I found out one of my Pokemon has Pokerus and let it spread through my team.

Headed to Fortree and figured out which Hidden Power each of my Pokemon had. Mythril was the best bet with Hidden Power Grass. Defeated Winona.

Fixed my Pokemon's movesets. Strength for Mawile and Aggron. Fly, Hidden Power Ground, and Facade for Krayne.

Defeated Team Magma in Lilycove and headed to Mossdeep

Defeated Liza and Tate and grinded in the sea routes

Caught Groudon anyway and defeated Wallace.

Finalized move sets of my team. Aggron got Earthquake. Mawile got Brick Break and Sludge Bomb. The rest were learned by level up.

Got through Victory Road easily.

Defeated Sidney. Mightyena and Sharpedo were downed by Thunderbolt. Skarmory defeated Cacturne with Fly and Absol with Steel Wings. Shiftry was annoying with Double Team but Skarmory eventually hit with Fly.

Defeated Phoebe. Nothing much to add except the use of Revives and Full Restores.

Defeated Glacia. Used Aggron against Glalies and Magneton against Sealeos and Walrein.

Defeated Drake. Nothing to note but Aggron and Rock Tomb against Flying Dragons.

Defeated Champion Steven. Many techniques and items were used. The only hard one was Metagross who was worn down often and eliminated almost my entire team.

Ability: Sturdy
Moves: Iron Tail, Rock Tomb, Earthquake, Strength

Update for Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Dark).

Update #4 on Black.

Spoiler:

• Realized that I forgot to explore route 17 and 18, so I went and did that.
• Gangsta finally evolved into Krookodile at L48, when she learned Earthquake.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Battled the trainers I skipped between Icirrus and Opelucid City.
• Then I took on the Opelucid Gym, mostly with Commander Soldier (I thought I named him Commander, but I guess not).
• Drayden was way too concerned with setting up Dragon Dances to notice Soldier 2HKOing Fraxure and Haxorus with Payback, and Gangsta beat Druddigon with a couple Earthquakes.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then I took some time to EV train my team. So many Audinos went down to Vulture...
• Renamed Soldier to Commander.
• Beat Cheren on Route 10, then made my way to Victory Road.
• Cruised through it, and upon exiting, everyone was at L52 (Punker was at L53).
• After some moveset editing, I took on the Elite Four.
• Caitlin went down to Vulture (Dark Pulse), Commander (Payback), and Lisa (Night Slash).
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Shauntal was up next, and fell to Vulture (Dark Pulse), Gangsta (Earthquake, Crunch), and Commander (Payback).
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Grimsley was taken out by Vulture (Air Slash) and Commander (Low Sweep).
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Marshall was unsurprisingly the hardest fight. Everyone was used except for Commander, with Punker finishing off three members.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• After the cutscenes, I caught Reshiram with the Master Ball, then took on N.
• He beat me once thanks to Archeops critting twice in a row with Acrobatics, but the second time was much easier. Gangsta took out four foes with Earthquake and Rock Slide, Commander beat Archeops, and Lisa finished off Klinklang to win.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• After the battle, Commander evolved into Bisharp at L54, when he learned Iron Head.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Ghetsis was up next. Hydreigon decimated me the first time with Focus Blast and Fire Blast, and after I respawned, I was able to win thanks to a couple Max Revives. Punker was the MVP here.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Evolution time again, this time for Vulture into Mandibuzz!
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Roll credits, and the postgame is next!
