Update for Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Dragon).

Hey everyone, I finally started the Unova leg of my Dragon monotype challenge.

Update #1 on White.

Name: Lance
Starter: Druddigon

• Made Druddigon my starter in place of Oshawott, named her Scarlet.
• Eventually reached Striaton City, where I picked up Pansear my Cut slave.
• Beat Cheren, then took on the gym. Cilan didn't stand a chance against Scarlet's Bite (boosted by Sheer Force ftw).
• Got Cut from Fennel and did the Dreamyard scene.
• Continued onwards and saved the pokemon from Team Plasma.
• Arrived in Nancrene City, then beat all the trainers outside the forest.
• Beat N, then went in the museum/gym.
• Lenora took two tries because of Watchog's Hypnosis, but Scarlet beat her with Rock Smash (also boosted by Sheer Force ftw).
• Team Plasma showed up again, so I schooled them in Pinwheel Forest.
• Went over the bridge to Castelia City and saved in the Battle Co.

Now I continue from Fortree City onwards to destroy the Elite Four. I am hoping
to do so in this update. I don not remember how long the game is, but I will try
to have Hoenn finished up.

So I follow team Aqua into a mountain and I am guessing their base. I hope I can
finally exterminate them. Actually it was the ghost place. They appear to be
torturing this poor old couple. I must stop these fiends.

So they stole a red orb from the old couple, and now they are
stealing a submarine. They must be stopped.

In Lilycove City I meet up and fight May. Easy win. Off the coast, however, I find
Aqua's base. Now I can destroy them, right? Dangit they keep running away. I will
get them soon though.

In Mossdeep I get Dive and then head to the gym. The gym was relatively tough.
You know being Psychic and all. Now to get a Water pokemon for Dive.

I now am heading to the final gym. On the way there I see Aqua. Time for them
to be finally defeated. I think so, but I am not really sure. Great they unleash
an ancient pokemon and the world is now in danger. I gues I have to stop it.
Time to kill Kyogre.

So Kyogre and I fight. I kill it. Now for the eighth badge. Kyogre was actually
tougher then most gyms I love that gym. The puzzle of it is one of the puzzles
I really enjoy. Anyways it was an easy win and not a sharpedo in sight. Now to
the Elite Four.

In Victory oad I get a new addition to my team Medi the Medicham. At the end of
Victory Road guess who shows up to fight, that's right Wally. This should be a
sweet fight.

I was correct about it being a sweet fight. The last pokemon up were Empathy and
his Gardevoir. Empathy managed to win it though. Now for the final test.

The Elite Four were not that tough, but there is still one left. Steven.

Steven was a pretty tough challenge, but I managed to beat him using only Mystic.

Final Team:

Emapthy level 47
Sage level 25
Medi level 42

MVP:

Once more Mystic level 55 Alakazam

Meh, nvm about my challenge. I'm picking up a copy of White soon, so, I'll go from there.

I am just now going to start the Electric Ultimate Monotype Challenge that goes through all the generations and such, and I'll be trying to go through it all with the Electric style... Obvious game choice for the first generation... Pokemon Yellow lol xP

Update for Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Dragon).

Update #2 on White.

• Beat the Battle Co., then it was time for more TP meddling.
• Beat Burgh easily, all were Dragon Claw OHKOs.
• Beat Bianca and Cheren, then explored the Desert Resort.
• Arrived in Nimbasa City and got the Bike, then beat N.
• Elesa was easy as well with Dragon Claw. They were all faster but couldn't do much at all to Scarlet.
• Beat Cheren again and met Alder before crossing the bridge to Driftveil City.
• Took care of TP in Cold Storage, then took on the gym.
• Clay actually beat me once with Krokorok's Swagger (Scarlet hit herself three times), but the second time was easy with Dragon Claw and Revenge.
• Beat Bianca and got Fly (taught to Woobat), then headed on through Chargestone Cave.
• Arrived in Mistralton City and saved in the Celestial Tower.

Well I did all the major stuff that you do in the beggining of Pokemon Yellow (you no get pikachu, fight gary, get the thing for oak in the mart, etc etc) then I had to super grind my Pikachu up to level 20 so I could win the first badge because Pikachu is the only one of my type so far (things should get much easier when I finaly get far enough to catch a magnemite)... Is using the speed function in your emulator allowed for this challenge, cuz idk how long I can grind my pikachu at regular speed before getting slightly mad lmao xP

 

[XxTOOLxX]

Well I have just now finished the Kanto area for my Ultimate Electric Challenge (made full use of the speed button while I was training my pokemon) and so now I'll go on to play through Silver... I dont think there are any Electric pokemon before you reach falkner so I may have to hack in a lvl 5 electric pokemon... I beat the elite four with a lvl 75 Magneton, 79 Pikachu, 63 Electrode, a level 20 Staryu level 10 Charmander, and a lvl 5 Pidgey... It took a bunch of retries but there are many more electric pokemon in the future games so they should be easier... I hope so anyways lol xP

(I have decided to hack in a lvl 5 elekid as the starter pokemon)

You can catch a Mareep on Route 32, south of Violet City.

Ultimate Mono Fight Challenge

I have done it! I won!

I took SuperKirbyFan's advice and did some extreme grinding. The E4 wasn't much trouble with my new team, but Lance was sort of a pain. Suprisingly, Blah (my rival) wasn't too hard either. I was really disappointed with Blah. So, I am the Champion! Here is my team.

Vegeta (Hitmonchan) Lv. 60 (Obviously grinded up)
Focus Punch
Sky Uppercut
Ice Punch
Brick Break

Sensei (Primeape) Lv. 58
Mega Punch
Brick Break
Cross Chop
Rock Slide (Tutor in rock tunnel)

Po (Machoke) Lv. 58
Dig
Cross Chop
Brick Break
Strength

Chris (Poliwrath) Lv. 62
Mind Reader (Sort of a backup for Hypnosis)
Hypnosis
Surf
Submission

OK, onto Johto we go!

Ultimate Mono Fight Challenge- Johto

Update!

#1

I started my journey with a Chikorita. I used him to beat ???, yeah, that stuff. When i got poke balls, i caught a hoothoot for fly, a poliwag, and spinarak for cut, etc. Right when i got my poliwag, i boxed my chikie and trained my poliwag. i got to violet city and kicked falkner's butt. the ruins of alph was hard cuz of the bellsprouts. but i managed to pull through ok. and, this is my team.

Videl (Poliwag) Lv. 15

Bubble
Hypnosis
Water Gun

McSlave (Hoothoot) Lv. 5

Tackle
Growl
Flash

Mr. Cut (Spinarak) Lv. 5

Poison Sting
String Shot

PS: I realize i could have used chikie for cut, but i decided not to.

Yay, i can use pictures now!!!!!!!!!

I need help. I am looking for Heracross, and I know you get him from headbutts. On bulbapedia, it says you can find him on route 29, but in a special tree. Can someone tell me which tree this is? Thank you.

Does this look like a happy face? You all know this little guy wants to be on my team. :(

Oh no, my emulator messed up when i tried hacking in a water stone for my poliwag, so i am forced to start over.

Grass Monotype Ultimate Challenge Update

Type: Grass
Game: Gold

Update: After defeating the Elite Four, I got four badges (Lt Surge, Erika, Sabrina, Jasmine). Now working on playing through the Kanto Region to get the last four. I am not looking forward at all to battling Red.

Current Team:

​

Herby Lv 53 (Meganium M) @King's Rock

Reflect
Light Screen
Razor Leaf
Body Slam
​

​

Fluffy Lv 53 (Jumpluff M) @Amulet Coin

Sleep Powder
Leech Seed
Headbutt
Giga Drain
​

​

Joliflor Lv 53 (Bellossom F) @Miracle Seed

Stun Spore
SolarBeam
Sunny Day
Moonlight
​

​

Helia Lv 53 (Sunflora F) @Quick Claw

Growth
SolarBeam
Sunny Day
Synthesis

​

Can I just say that Jumpluff really took me by surprise? I expected to like him the least, but he is easily one of my favorites. Both he and Herby are super easy to play with. (Helia and Joliflor are really hard to play with, because of being slow, and Sunny Day). Fun Fact, unless I'm in a really /long/ battle, I HATE Solar Beam. Not practical at all for normal game play through.

 

[XxTOOLxX]

Well I just beat Red on Pokemon Silver with this team (revives and Explosion helped with half of Red's team lmao xP)

so now Ill be going onto Emerald/Ruby (undecided as to which one yet lol) to continue the Ultimate Electric Monotype, but I probably wont be going through the other games quite as quick as I did in Pokemon Yellow and Silver though because I'll be going back home tomorow-ish (I thought I was going back much sooner, but apparently my mom wanted to stay here a little bit longer)... but idc cuz I tomoro (or maybe day after depending on wat time we leave) I'll get to see my friends again lol xP

(Edit) Umm... Why will it not let me add on my screenshots that show my team?... I make sure they are in jpg format but they never ever show :(... Well until someone can help me out... my team to beat red was Lanturn 67, Ampharos 55, Electrode 78, Poliwag 26, Spearow 6, and Paras 6... Wish someone would help me find out why my pictures never show on here though :(

Update!

#2

Okay, so because of the cheat problem, i had to start over, but im doing better now. Like i said, i got chikie, named him Cutter this time. So i did wut i did in the update before, upgrading kanna (which was his name at the time) to a poliwrath right when she hit 25, which was when i tore down bugsy. Then i got through ilex forest, giving cutter cut (thats why i named him cutter) and headbutt. Ive decided to hold off heracross becuz i found a good spot on route 29 to just headbutt and get heracross. \ So, then i caught a drowsee, then learned i needed abra to get the machop trade. So i bought him with coins i, well, bought, and got me a machop lv. 5 named muscle already. Then, i renamed kanna to carla. In the GIRLY gym, I trained muscle up and got him to like lv. 15. Then, i caught the second ditto i saw (cuz muscle accidentally killed the first one), which didn't take long, and named him Mr. breed (for breeding purposes). And now i stand in the goldenrod poke center with this team:

Muscle (Machop) Lv. 17 Female

Low Kick
Leer
Focus Energy
Karate Chop

Cutter (Chikorita) Lv. 12 Female

Cut
Headbutt
Razor Leaf
Reflect

Carla (Poliwrath) Lv. 28 Female (Wow, lots of girls!)

Rain Dance
Hypnosis
Water Gun
Doubleslap

Mr. Breed (Ditto) Lv. 10 Genderless

Transform

Boxed:
Togepi Egg

Odd Egg

Kenya (Spearow) Lv. 10 Female

Peck
Growl
Leer

If you want to suggest anything to me, I would be happy to take your suggestions. And, I think my movesets are kinda off.

Can i just hack a heracross plz? Cuz ive been searching for a while and haven't found one heracross.

Grass Monotype Ultimate Challenge Update

I have collected all 16 badges in Pokemon Gold. I am at the base of Mt. Silver, but I do not want to scale it and battle Red, so for now, I am shelving it. I may come back to it later. As for now though, here is my team:


Current Team:

​

Herby Lv 57 (Meganium M) @King's Rock

Reflect
Light Screen
Razor Leaf
Body Slam
​

​

Fluffy Lv 56 (Jumpluff M) @Amulet Coin

Sleep Powder
Leech Seed
Headbutt
Giga Drain
​

​

Joliflor Lv 56 (Bellossom F) @Miracle Seed

Stun Spore
SolarBeam
Sunny Day
Moonlight
​

​

Helia Lv 56 (Sunflora F) @Quick Claw

Growth
SolarBeam
Sunny Day
Synthesis

​

Thoughts on the Playthrough (Contains Favorites, least favorites, etc)

Spoiler:

Okay, yet again, I was surprised at who my favorite would be. It is a tie between Herby and (here's the surprise) Fluffy. I thought that I would hate playing with Fluffy, because of his low stats (except for his exceptional speed). Herby was just a very well rounded individual and was easily the one easiest to play with. Fluffy however, came in very handy when I needed to battle a Fire type, or anyone I had a type disadvantage against. I would just Sleep Poweder > Leech Seed, and then either Headbutted or Giga Drained to speed the process along. Loved it.

I absolutely hated playing with Joliflor and Helia. It is such a hassle to always pull out a Sunny Day, and then Solar Beam. It was wonderful for long battles, but short battles (which is easily 5/6 of the Game) was painful. They didn't even get the Chlorophyll ability advantage of Sunny Day in this Gen. I still really like them though.

Jumpluff surprised me the most. I absolutely adore it. Adding him to the Grass Hall of Fame.
