Ultimate Monotype Challenge

[grey†fish]

You might want to post pictures and/or real names, I have no idea what your team is. :D

Agreed…
I'm guessing that Rudolph is a Stantler (what would make me think that?), Daisy is a Miltank (Milk Drink gave it away xD), but I'm not about to go through Normal-type Pokémon's movesets just to figure the other ones out…
So yeah, what are they?

As for me, here's a short summary of my progress…

• Already beat May… (sorry :()
• Went up Mt. Pyre, beating the trainers along the way, and I got the Magma Emblem
• Flew back to Lavaridge Town to face off against Team Magma
• As I make my way through Magma's Hideout, I realize I LOVE how everything will die to Ryo's Mystic Water-boosted Surf :D (who uses Mystic Water anyways?)
• Saw Groudon… scared it away :D (according to Maxie)

VS Maxie

Spoiler:

Ryo

vs

Mightyena​

As soon as the match started, Maxie's Mightyena showed no intention to go easy, and made his fangs visible in an attempt to Intimidate Ryo, although Ryo showed no signs of backing up either. This match was too important. Mightyena immediately charged at Ryo, who attempted to put the Dark-type out of commission with a Supersonic attack to no avail, and was hit hard, although not without consequences for the straightforward Dark-type. Ryo then unleashed his Water-type power with Surf on the Mightyena, although the Pokémon was able to stuff the hit and use a Swagger attack. So I switched Ryo out, unwilling to lose health unnecessarily.​

Zoé

vs

Mightyena​

When Zoé came out, Maxie used a Super Potion on his Pokémon, and I immediately commanded mine to use a Confuse Ray, which connected with Maxie's Mightyena, although it kept its composure and connected with a second Take Down. I attempted to use Fly in order to keep Zoé away from the Mightyena's attacks, and leave it prone to damaging itself, although it never did, and eventually Zoé was the one who fell in that battle, although not without taking her toll on the Dark-type.​

Ryo

vs

Mightyena​

After Zoé unfortunately fainted, I knew I needed to step my game up, and brought Ryo back out with a vengeance. Ryo swiftly connected with Surf, and Mightyena could no longer stand.​

Ryo

vs

Camerupt​

Eyeing the opportunity to take the lead, I commanded Ryo to keep up with Surf, which completely knocked Maxie's Camerupt out! (OHKO!)​

Kobe

vs

Crobat​

Maxie's last Pokémon was, much to my surprise, a fully evolved Crobat. However, I didn't let it faze me, and I sent out Kobe so that I could set up on him, a win was too close to let his Crobat's resemblance to Zoé stop me. Although the Crobat was able to beat Kobe (I don't know why I used Screech… I don't :(), Kobe was able to cripple the Pokémon by Paralyzing it, and now it would be turn for Ryo to finish clean things up.​

Ryo

vs

Crobat​

As I mentioned, Ryo switched into battle for the third time against a Paralyzed Crobat, and it only took a couple of Surfs to finish the battle, and win the match.​

Maxie ran away! :O

• I flew down to Slateport City and went into the museum (again, don't know why)
• A reporter gave me an interview in the museum (I soft resetted back to Maxie to make the transcription, it's HILARIOUS! xD)

Spoiler:

Hello, it's time for Recent Happenings.
For Pokémon trainers, everyday is a storybook tale.
What we want to do is introduce you to some of these Pokémon tales.
Today, we bring the story of the Trainer Grey.
What did Grey experience recently?
Let's find out.
Let's see…
"I like your mother."
Wasn't that enlightening?
The story gives you a clear idea of what Grey has experienced recently.
It's as if we were there as witnesses!
"Mother."
That gives the tale a sense of place. (xD)
It lets us envision the tale's setting. (8O)
Grey has recounted a wonderful tale involving Pokémon. (o_0) (wait, what?)
And now Grey's tale is indelibly etched into your soul, too. (xD yes it is)
That's it for today.
Please tune in next time.​

• After becoming a world-renown celebrity, and becoming a target of the Pokémon Protection Laws Enforcement Force (PokéPLEF for short), I decided to swiftly escape the city, but not before making yet another TV appearance with Capt. Stern right before Team Aqua showed up… now I'm gonna have the Intepol behind me too for sure. (¬_¬)
• Flew back to Lilicove and ripped through Team Aqua's defenses (although Archie escaped in a submarine)
• Surfed over to Mosdeep City, and immediately (ok, after a bit of healing, :P) entered the Gym to witness the EPICNESS of Silver Wind… too bad it won't be much use during the actual battle against Tate and Liza. :\
  
• Aaaaannddd… I got destroyed by the twins :(

[dragon0fangz]

Yeah... Ive been busy with my Ultimate Solo Challenge, but i promise i will at least start my Ice run when i come back in 2 weeks' time.

 

[soulkaze]

I have just completed Blue, I'm now on crystal, and I'll be keeping a log, Ultimate Poison Monotype challenge, here I come on crystal!

 

[aaronburnsyou]

So today I thought it'd be a good time to finish this, since I just left off before the elite four of Platinum over a year ago, but when I went to get my Torterra out of the PC, it turned into the HM slave I had in my party, so I give up, no more contest for me!

 

[Apple Juice]

I've been secretly doing this in Red. I've chosen Grass.

Team:
Lv. 53 Vileplume (Omega)
Lv. 51 Venusaur (Beta)
Lv. 25 Exeggutor (Delta)
Lv. 25 Parasect (Zeta)
(will be Tangela (Alpha))
Lv.? Oddish (Slave)

I'm in Fuschia. I don't think I'll go through all the trouble to grind Exegg, Para and Tangela to the 50s because I hate Red. Hate it. And I want to finish it as fast as possible.

 

[Ezashin Koori]

I'm joining this as a Bird Keeper (Flying type) and I'm starting out in Red

I have finally finished this very long challenge. I had done a monotype in Pearl once, but used a different team, so it didn't feel like the same one, plus that was like a year ago. The easiest part was generation 1, Starmie was amazing. The hardest battle was against Wallace. Ironically, both Wallace and Cynthia, the last opponents of gens 3 and 4 both used their Milotic last. This is also the first time I ever really used a Slowpoke or Psyduck, I have a new respect for both. Not really sure what I'm going to do now… need a new challenge...

Thanks to all 4 of my teams

Generation 1:

Generation 2:

Generation 3:

Generation 4:

 

[tomreaper]

geez.. haven't updated in a while..

I haven't made much progress.. Just beat team aqua, and they woke kyogre. grinding right now.. i'll fight it at 45, or maybe 50 if i have to..

ill post my team after i beat kyogre..

 

[Draknir]

I shall start a Rock challenge, starting with Red, then Gold, then Ruby, and finally Platinum.

EDIT:
Had to beat Brock using my starter(I chose Charmander so I would have a type disadvantage against my rival). Caught a Geodude and named it BOULDER(In all caps like all other Pokémon). I had to level grind just to beat a Lass in Mt. Moon. Chose the Dome Fossil because I prefer Kabutops over Omastar. Upon making it out of there, I continued to level grind to evolve BOULDER, at which point I traded it to my Yellow to evolve it fully. Had a major struggle against Misty, but I ended up winning with Selfdestruct. Cheap way of winning, but it was my only option. Continued to level grind, since I was only using BOULDER. Did the whole S.S Anne thing, getting BOULDER to Lv.32 in the process. Beat Lt. Surge without beating any of this trainers. Made my way to the Rock Tunnel after getting Flash and the Old Amber, where I caught an Onix that I named ROCKY(Like the one that you get traded in Violet City in GSCHGSS). I am now level grinding it to match BOULDER.

Current Team:

-BOULDER-33-110/90/103/44/51-Tackle/Harden/Rock Throw/Selfdestruct

-ROCKY-14-36/54/28/15-Tackle/Screech/-/-

Planned Final Team:

Spoiler:

-BOULDER

-ROCKY

-PERIOR

-CUTLASS

-STARSCREAM

No movesets as of yet.

 

[raekuul]

Woo... my team is now on it's way back to where I was before...

Same team makeup as last time, only the Beautifly doesn't have absorb and the Nincada still has harden. I'll be skipping the Fighting Gym until after I clear Wattson. Insanity? Yes, but I need Nincada for Wattson, not Ninjask.

For once I'm afraid of being Overlevelled.

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

Just thought I'd update after disappearing for twenty billion milleniums. Laptop problems and lazyness have meant I've played very little, and the technical issues mean I had to restart Silver >.> So, a quick update. i'm currently at the Pokecentre outside...um...that cave. Between Falkner and Bugsy. Anyway, Falkner was beaten by Hoothoot and I'm on the way to murderise Bugsy now.

Current team:

Hoothoot

- Tackle
- Growl
- Foresight
- Peck

Togepi

- Metronome
- Charm
- Flash
- Mud-Slap
