Flare Blitz Flareon nao- GSC Monospecies Challenge
I think it's been about 2 months since I last made a challenge here. I've decided to warm up my challenge-starved brain with a simple Monospecies challenge.
One thing, though... Spoiler:
Here's the rules: - You can use one species of Pokemon. This includes the evolutionary family. - This also means taht you can train any pokemon in that family(i.e. if you choose Scyther, you can have 3 scythers and 2 Scizors if you want with an HM Slave). -Eevee is not allowed to be used, too much cheapness. - You can use any Pokemon that is CATCHABLE in the game BEFORE YOU GET TO ILEX FOREST. THIS MEANS THAT AIPOM AND HERACROSS CAN BE USED, AS THEY ARE FOUND IN AZALEA TOWN. - Your challenge ends when you beat Red. -HM slaves are allowed, but cannot be trained. - You can catch Pokemon for your pokedex, but cannot train them. - If a HM slave or Pokemon u caught for the Dex levels up, you MUST release that pokemon. - Here's a list of Pokemon that u can use, just to reasuure everyone: Totodile Cyndaquil Chikorita Pidgey Sentret Caterpie Weedle Poliwag Spinarak Ekans Exeggcute Phanpy Spearow Geodude Onix Zubat Gastly Bellsprout Ratata Hoppip Wooper Hoothoot Slowpoke Sandshrew Aipom Heracross Teddiursa Togepi Pineco Goldeen(rare with old rod) Dunsparce(credits to bantamtim) Jigglypuff(credits to bantamtin) Ledyba(credits to bantamtin) Growlithe(credits to shadoweagle89) Mareep(credits to BidoofMaster) Magikarp(credits to L'Viaquez and suicidesal) Qwilfish*Rare with Old Rod at Route 32 Swarm*(Credits to Water PKMN Trainer) - No Gameshark or Action Replay can be used. - You can evolve the species you are using. - If someone else has a species, you can't use that same species. - If you know of a pokemon that is catchable between the start of the game and Azalea Town, let me know and I'll put it in with your name for credits. - You can trade TMs ONLY from another file. Pokemon who have TMs attached are the only way to get them, so you can trade the pokemon over, but are NOT allowed to use it in battle. - Trading to evolve is allowed, only for the dex on pokemon htat aren't your species. If it is your species, you can continue to train it after it is evolved. Trainers who have signed up: Sc4rfCh0mp: Poliwag 53:48 Angelic Diablo: Geodude 21:04 ChamsRock: Onix J.M.: Totodile msdfabio: Exxegcute 10:19 MoonlightKnight: Gastly(dropped out) bantamtim- Slowpoke Pheonix the fire Master/ Blaine's Best student- Growlithe sdfs: wooper 35:55 woooooooooooohooooooo: Teddiursa 32:30 wus6r: caterpie ShadowInfernape: Mareep(dropped out) suicidesal: ledyba(dropped out) L'Viaquez: Ekans 70:17 Water PKMN Trainer: Hoothoot REGISTRATIONS FOR THIS CHALLENGE ARE NOW CLOSED.

So what, this is choose one pokemon and powerlevel it basically?
If that's the case... uhh Geodude for me |
Hmm, I'll try Onix on my Gold. I'll get started now!
Edit: Can you take more than one of them, like having 6 Onix, or just one? |
You can get Dunsparce in dark cave (with a LOT of patience), and I'm sure you can get Jigglypuff on route 46 in the mornings on Gold and Silver. You can get Leyba on route 30 as well in the morning. Oh, and Unown of course.
|
I'll put my name forward although I might not have the time to start it any time soon.
I'll go with Totodile. |
I'm making some edits to the rules to make it more clearer. Bantam, thx for the help.
|
So has this challenge started yet? Or do we just go about our own pace. Coz I've already started if that's the case
Character : Mouldz Pokemon : Geodude (Rocky) Game : Crystal Started the game, chose Totodile coz he can learn 4 of the HMs, did the usual start off stuff, go to Mr Pokemon's house, got the egg went back, battled rival, blah blah blah. Finally caught a Geodude and raised him on all the bugs on Route 30. Got him to level 7 before starting my way up towards Violet City. Reached Violet City and Rocky was level 12, Rock Throw easily took care of Falkner and then I had the fun of attempting Sprout Tower. Even at level 14 Geodude struggled against all the Bellsprout there. Cleared Sprout Tower, got the Togepi Egg from the Aide and saved the game. Team:- Rocky (Geodude) - level 16 -Tackle -Defense Curl -Rock Throw -Magnitude Totodile - level 7 -Scratch -Leer -Rage |
Own paced challenge, need to add that to the rules. I need to get back on track with the guide that I posted... I'm such a disgrace.
Anyways... Let's update! - Chose Cyndaquil as a starter for cut. - Killed Rival, named him Kyle (as usual) - After getting Pokeballs, I caught a Poliwag! w00t - Raised Poliwag to level 20 before even touching Violet City(I'm heavy on the training, and Gastlys and Geodudes are extremely frail and give a lot more EXP than most pokes at the beginning) - Caught a Bellsprout, deposited Cyndaquil - Taught Bellsprout Flash after getting it from Sporut Tower. - Kicked Falkner's feathery butt with two doubleslaps. - Saved Name: Costa Time: 4:00 0_0 Pokemon: Poliwag @ Oran Berry Level 21 Water Gun Double Slap Hypnosis Mud-Slap Slaves: Bellsprout lvl 5: Cut, Flash |
Character : Mouldz
Pokemon : Geodude (Rocky) Game : Crystal Left Violet City and continued on down towards Azalea Town, Rocky destroyed alot of the trainers on the way down, continued through the Union Cave and then arrived in Azalea Town. I took care of the Rockets, and then demolished Bugsy. Silver was somewhat of a pain thanks to his Bayleef, but it succumb to the awesome power that is Rocky. Continued through the Ilex Forest and made my way up through to Goldenrod City. Got another egg from the day care couple, took another gym challenge (which quite frankly wasn't that challenging) and I had my third badge, fought all the way up to Ecruteak City and then remembered my togepi had hatched so I made a beeline for Newbark Town. Saved in Newbark Town. Team :- Rocky (Graveler) - level 35 -Magnitude -Rollout -Defense Curl (2x rollout damage lol) -Self Destruct Totodile - HM Slave (Cut) |
I'm planning on doing this challenge with an Exeggcute. I have one question though.
Are we allowed to trade from other files? It's impossible to get Headbutt without having to trade for it since Headbutt can be gotten in the Ilex Forest. I plan on trading the Headbutt TM from my Gold file to my Silver file which I will be doing the challenge on. |
If the file isn't AR or Gameshark, it should be fine IMO.
School took up all of my time to play. No update today :( |
Character : Mouldz
Starter Pokemon : Geodude (Rocky) Game : Crystal Started today by trading my Graveler to another game and then back again to evolve him. Then with Golem I travelled back to Eruteak City, destroyed Silver at Burned Tower, released the dogs, and then battled and defeated Morty for my 4th badge. I then took to the dance arena, and took out the Kimono Girls and obtained Surf. Then battled my way through to Olivine, catching a Noctowl on the way (for Fly later on). Climbed the lighthouse, then proceeded to Surf down toward Cianwood for the secretpotion and to obtain the 5th badge, saved when I arrived on the island. Team:- Rocky (Golem) - level 42 -Earthquake -Rollout -Defense Curl (2x rollout damage lol) -Self Destruct Totodile (HM Slave) - Cut, Surf, Strength |
Ugh, I am getting owned by Diablo (lol) More lulz, I realized I accidentally called Berry an Oran Berry in my first update *shot*
Update! After killing Falkner, I caught another Poliwag, trained him up, and then headed down to Union Cave. Caught a Geodude for Rock Smash and Strength. Made it to Azalea, kicked Team Rocket out of their little hole, and killed Bugsy and my rival. Got Headbutt in Ilex Forest, taught it to one of my Poliwhirl. Headbutting around for training, and knocked down a lvl 10 Noctowl! Caught it for Flying purposes. Got to Goldenrod, taught some moves, then saved. Name: Costa Time: 8:40 Pokemon: Poliwhirl @ lvl 28 Berry Rain Dance Hypnosis Water Gun Mud-Slap Poliwhirl @ lvl 27 No Item :( Hypnosis Water Gun Headbutt Ice Punch Slaves: Bellsprout lvl 5: Cut, Flash Geodude lvl 7: Rock SMash, Strength Noctowl lvl 10: Fly |
I guess I will do Gastly if that is Okay
|
That looks very very powerful
|
Character : Mouldz
Starter Pokemon : Geodude (Rocky) Game : Crystal Wow, Cianwood is boring, I even get to battle Eusine but he wasn't really a challenge for Rocky. Neither was Chuck for that matter, and he had a type advantage (two when he used Poliwrath). So yeah my fifth badge was obtained, got HM02 (Fly) and taught it to Noctowl, flew back to Olivine, healed Amphie, battled Jasmine and got my 6th badge. Rocky and I then travelled to Mohogany Town which is where our journey ended for today. Team:- Rocky (Golem) - level 47 -Earthquake -Rollout -Defense Curl -Headbutt Totodile (HM Slave) - Cut, Surf, Strength Noctowl (HM Slave) - Fly |
Wow, this challenge is getting activity from someone besides me and diablo. *shot*
Moonlight has been signed on, and msdfabio is a maybe. Angelic Diablo is pwning me, will probly win at this rate(based on time guyz, not a race, if it were that, angelic diablo would pwn us all) but thats no excuse to keep trying, rite folks? No update today. |
Growlithe can be obtained in the route that has the Sudowoodo in it in Crystal. It should be eligible.
|
Yeah the fact how far I am ahead just proves to me I need something to do outside of work. Seriously I seem to have way too much time on my hands, at least on the days I'm working it's only a couple of hours playtime, not a whole afternoon o_o;

oh yeah, forgot about the fire dawg. ur name is up there. Update: After getting a Gold Berry at the Bug-catching Contest. I challenged Whitney. Even without STAB Fighting, her team was easy. Crushed her. N wonder she cries after she loses 0_0 Made it to Ecruteak. Too bad I ahven't found any Water Stones yet... wonder is there are any in crystal? Pokemon: Poliwhirl @ Lvl 30 PRZcureberry Mud-Slap Hypnosis Water Gun Ice Punch Poliwhirl @ Lvl 30 Gold Berry Ice Punch Water Gun Double Slap Hypnosis HM slaves: Noctowl lvl 10: Fly Bellsprout lvl 5: Cut, Flash Geodude lvl 7: Strength, Rock Smash |
You get a water stone from Bill's Grandpa when you finally go and see him, but I think one of the Fishermen near Mohogany will call you up if he gets one, it's probably your best bet.
Speaking of Mohogany... Character : Mouldz Starter Pokemon : Geodude (Rocky) Game : Crystal Started in Mohogany Town, travelled up towards Lake of Rage, battled the Red Gyarados, met Lance, travelled back down to Mohogany, found the entrance to the Rocket's secret base, battled my way through (really rollout is just a funny move to use, especially when they send their rock weak pokemon out for the last blast of it). Lance thanked me for my help, I then went and beat Pryce and obtained my 7th badge. Uh oh something is going on with the Radio transmissions. So I begin to travel back to Goldenrod City, and then I climb the tower, only to find out the Director is an imposter, I leave the radio tower, heal up and the pokemon center, and save. Team:- Rocky (Golem) - level 52 -Earthquake -Rollout -Defense Curl -Headbutt Totodile (HM Slave) - Cut, Surf, Strength, Whirlpool Noctowl (HM Slave) - Fly |
I may as well start this challenge - I'll use Slowpoke.
|
Well, went and kicked some butt in Ecruteak against my rival and Morty. Other than that, not much activity. Pokemon are the same as my last post, just at level 31.
|
Since no one has called Growlithe Ill use him.
|
Been making some slow progress on my challenge. Since I will be recording my entire challenge, I will more than likely take awhile to finally finish the game. As of now, I barely started progressing in the Union Cave but I decided to train more instead since I'm tired of Exeggcute's Barrage attack. My team as of now:
Exeggcute - Level 17 - Barrage - Hypnosis - Reflect - Leech Seed That's it. I don't have any HM slaves at the moment since I only have HM05 which is useless to me at the moment. As for some videos of my progress: Spoiler:
