Monotype Challenge

I have a question...is it okay if my baby Elekid knew the egg moves Fire Punch/Ice Punch?

Well...irregardless of whether or not my Elekid is valid for this challenge, I do have an update.

--Started game and named myself Konato and my rival Warrang--
--Picked Piplup, and realized my error, as now my rival will have a ground type starter. >__< Oh well, more challenge. XD--
--Traded over my Elekid egg and a Slugma, and I hatched it--
--Grindded up to level 5 and caught a Shinx and levelled it up to level 5--
--Got my Poketch--
--Fought some trainers and then met my rival and trashed him...hopefully it stays this easy. XD--
--Cleared Oreburgh Tunnel and Oreburgh Mine--
--Went and fought Roark...stupid Roarks critical hits. XD Had to restart as my team was KO'ed. Second time, I managed to narrowly win with ELekid and a few HP left. Phew...now, onto Floaroma!--

[myrrhman]

You're fine with egg moves. I'd rather you not have them, but I'm not going to make you start the challenge over, it just takes away from it IMO.

 

[Hiiragi]

I'll take a Grass challenge in platinum, and I'll edit this post with an update soon.:)

Edit:

~Named myself and my rival
~Did beginning stuff
~Chose Turtwig as my starter, of course
~Defeated my rival
~Went to lake Verity
~Saved the game

[-Jared-]

Well, another fairly large update:

--After catching Rotom, I trained it up against the trainers on Cycling Path and just north of Oreburgh.
--Traveled through Mt. Coronet
--Visited Hearthome and trained a little
--Backtracked and helped Mira out of Wayward Cave. Some good training there. Too bad I made Alexis forget Flash...>__>. Combine that with my bad sense of direction and it's a MIRACLE we got out of there alive.
--Battled Fantina. Pretty easy, as I had Bite and Spark on Raymond. A bit of a relief considering Gardenia's difficulty...
--Obtained and Eevee from Bebe, and nicknamed him Joel.
--Fought my rival and beat him pretty easily. I am dreading when his Grotle evolves...>__>
--Visited Solaceon and obtained HM05 and thunder stone. Evolved Joel into Jolteon. I love my nicknames. XD
--Fought my way over to Veilstone and obtained both the Shock Wave TM and couple of Thunder TM's. Taught Thunder to Joel and Romer, and Shock Wave to Romeo.
--Grinded against Ace Trainers outside of Veilstone for a while, and gained a whole new respect/hatred for Gligar. XD
--Promptly trashed Maylene and the Galactic Grunts. Whew, another easy gym.
--Traveled to Pastoria and trained up my pokemon along the way.
--Visited Great Marsh and caught my second HM pokemon, Tropius.
--Trained a bit on the route west of Pastoria. Thunder Dancing in permanent rain FTW. XD
--Took on Crasher Wake. Slight difficulty with Quagsire, but Romeo took care of it, and the stat boost from Ominous Wind helped quite a bit. XD
--Took on the running Grunt.
--Obtained Secretpotion and cured the Psyduck.

CURRENTLY:
--Approaching Celestic Town
--Contemplating Boxing Raymond...I want a Magnezone, and I want Bibarel and Tropius as HM pokemon...and I don;t want to box Romeo, Alexis, or Joel. Hmmm...what a quandery.

TO DO:
-- Obtain HM Surf so I can catch a Magnemite.
