Hi everyone ^_^ I've been doing a monotype challenge for the last week or 2 and thought I'd finally make an account and update my progress!
I decided on a Flying monotype challenge and am playing on Heart Gold (I only own Heart Gold and Red from back in my youth :P only recently got back into the game series with HG)
I started with Totodile (So my rival has a grass type as his main ;) ) and did all the early game stuff
Caught a lvl 2 Pidgy and lvl 2 Zubat and had a difficult time levelling them up (I stopped using my starter the second I caught my pidgey)
I completed the first few gyms, the first was surprisingly hard as my opponents Pidgeotto with Roost was quite hard to beat, eventually just had to grind my own Pidgey up to lvl 18 and smashed him easy.
At Goldenrod city I got a Dratini from the gaming place (Dragonite is Flying, so I can use a dratini/dragonair).
At the National Park I caught a Scyther :D
I completed all 8 badges, killed Ho-oh as I had him on 1 hp (False Swipe) and paralysed and used all 30 ultra balls I had and failed to catch him (I reloaded and just smashed him easy :P)
Elite 4 were not that bad, Scyther was 1 shotting most of the pokemon and Dragonair took out the rest. Lance on the other hand with his Thunder Dragonite destroyed me time and time again. Eventually I levelled up a bit more and got a little lucky with my Crobat (Confuse ray ftw!) Elite 4 completed!
I then went and completed the thunder badge without much of a problem (except self destructing pokemon knocking out scyther a bunch :( ) and here I sit with 9 badges!
My team:
Scyther lvl 55
Dragonair lvl 50
Crobat lvl 47
Pidgeot lvl 45
Gyarados lvl 30 (HM Slave)
(Cant post pretty pictures until I make 15 posts :( )
On a final note, does anyone have any suggestions for a good flying pokemon to finish my team? It has to be from Heartgold as I don't have any friends who play nor any other version of the game (or a DS to link with). I was thinking maybe Honchkrow, or maybe a second Scyther as my first one is a bit of a powerhouse, or maybe another Dratini (I already have the Extremespeed one sitting at lvl 20). Thanks everyone ^_^
