Finally started the Normal monotype challenge.
Day One Picked Totodile for a starter, did the run to Mr. Pokemon's house and beat rival and his Chikorita. I then caught a Pidgey and a Sentret, Falka and Scout respectively. Headed up to Violet City, on the way stopping in Dark Cave and catching Teddiursa, Delphi. Falkner was easily defeated with Falka's Gust attack. Then heading towards Azalea Town, Scout was deposited in the box. She would be replaced by Togepi and maybe a Snubbull or a Jigglypuff. Bugsy and the rival went down easily. Then headed through Ilex Forest and up to Goldenrod City, catching a Snubbull, Kita. Day Two The Togepi egg finally hatched and I picked up the Odd Egg. Going to train the Pokemon into the twenties before taking on Whitney. Team stands at: http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs017.gifFalka / Pidgeotto, Lv. 18. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs216.gifDelphi / Teddiursa, Lv. 17. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs209.gif Kita / Snubbull, Lv. 15. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs175.gifNuka / Togepi, Lv. 8.

i started the dark challenge, but i wasn't able to trade, so i gamesharked a houndour into the first route and caught it. it was actually weaker than the one i bred because the one i bred would've had flamethrower, and that's ridiculous.
i've done a LOT, so i'll just share the most important events. - houndour (TheHounds!) evolved right after the battle with whitney. - got an eevee (Lame) from bill and trained it to level 29. determined to get its happiness high enough so it would evolve at level 30 and i would get both bite and confuse ray, i walked around a lot. sort of anticlimactic. - clair's dragonairs were taken down by Lame, and just to show how awesome TheHounds! was, she took out kingdra. - i lost once the elite four (only using the healing items i had accumulated throughout the game), so the second time i bought a couple full restores. Lame lived up to its name and died mid-way through, so TheHounds! had to take out the last of the elite four (whatever her name is) and lance. and somehow, that happened. EDIT: i actually just beat red and stuff. i didn't think i'd beat him because i only had sneasel left and he had venusaur and espeon, but venusaur kept using solar beam, so would use dig to dodge it, and it eventually died. espeon couldn't do anything but swift, and it didn't do much damage, so i slashed it a couple times and it went down. FINAL Team: TheHounds! lvl 65 http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs229.gif Crunch Strength Flamethrower Faint Attack Lame lvl 63 http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs197.gif Quick Attack Bite Confuse Ray Faint Attack Byrdie lvl 63 http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs198.gif Hidden Power Fly Faint Attack Shadow Ball Sneeze lvl 64 http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs215.gif Ice Punch Dig Faint Attack Slash may as well do another. i guess i'll do rock. |

It lives? This is incredible!
Oh, i still didn't progress in my Dark Challenge, gotta continue playing... |
oh yeah, i forgot about this :D
well, i don't really know all of what happened because i started the rock challenge nearly a month ago, but i DO know that i beat all the leaders up to jasmine. and my team is: Raspberry lvl 34 http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs075.gif Magnitude Selfdestruct Tackle Rock Throw Woody lvl 33 http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs185.gif Rock Throw Rock Slide Low Kick Flail Awesome lvl 39 http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs222.gif Tackle Bubblebeam Spike Cannon Surf i may or may not have been really into corsola when i first caught her, but i have the sneaking suspicion that i had a leveling love affair with her. |

I really should check this thread more frequently....
So, maybe i'm a bit late, but i added you to the champions, congratulations! |
Ok, just have one question, about the trading for evolution.
If its a pokemon that requires an item + trade for evolution, are we required to play to where we get that item on our monotype, or can we use the item from another game? |
I think the items should be acquired in the played game, not in another one. Just like you can't trade to give let's say a Growlithe a Fire Stone and trade the Arcanine back...
|
Ah well, lemme think what type to do then, was gonna do steel, but would take forever to get a decent pokemon (e.g not foretress).
|
It would be OK to use an Onix until you get to Ecruteak and then evolve it, somewhere there are wild Magnemites that have a 5% chance to hold a Metal Coat.
666 posts xD |
This sounds good, I'll do this with ground types.
|
Alright, put me down for Steel then.
Progress so far: Made it to that cave where you get Onix Fainted too many Onix's by mistake Decided I wanted a female Onix 15 Onix's later and I accidently fainted all females Found a nice female, but ran out of balls, so restocked :P Glad I restocked because: Onix appeared: Omg it's shiny. - Caught Shiny Onix. Taught Onix Mud-Slap (to beat Rivals Gastly) Defeated Bugsy, no contest Moved on to Goldenrod, beat gym, moved on again. Went west of Ecruteak searching for Magnemites. (Hoping to find 2 metal coats for a Scizor and a Steelix). Will catch a Scyther as soon as possible. Current Team: Onix, lv29 (Shiny) Rage Screech Mud-Slap Rock Throw |
Already the second shiny in this thread that fits its owner's type, incredible.
I have to continue, maybe I will also find a shiny Houndour or Sneasel. Well, it's unlikely, but I have to continue regardless. - - - As I promised, here's finally my newest update: I had saved at Mahagony, but didn't defeat team rocket there yet, so this was the first thing for me to do. As always, it took quite long, but was easy. And once again, I realized my bag was full when I was halfway through it. After TR was finally defeated, it was time to beat Pryce, the whole gym caused no trouble at all for Umbreon. Did Ice Path stuff and headed back to goldenrod, to beat Team Rocket once again. When they were finally defeated, I used Fly to get back to Blackthorn and defeated Clair with ease thanks to Murkrow's Icy Wind. Team: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/08/Spr_2g_198.png Krow / Murkrow m Lv.51 @ Nevermeltice - Fly - Return - Faint Attack - Icy Wind Icy Wind gives nice coverage, but sadly I lost the ability to hit steels, Magnetons now cause some serious trouble. http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/bc/Spr_2g_197.png Overhyped / Umbreon m Lv.50 @ Amulet Coin - Quick Attack - Bite - Sand Attack - Return I really need to work on this moveset, it's horrible. |
Finally caught a Magnemite with a Steel Coat...now have to get another one for a Scizor. Defeated next few gyms, and recorded my battle with Jasmine, purely because I used 2 lv30 Magnemites and a lv35 Steelix, same as her team.Her magnemites were better but Steelix fixed that problem.
Shouldnt take too long to finish this one now, any suggestions for another one to do? (Not bug, cos I already did this part during the ultimate monotype challenge) |
Maybe Dragon, no one has tried it yet. Or how about grass, they have a lot of disadvantages in Johto so it would probably be more challenging than other types...
|
With Dragon I take it I'd be able to transfer a Dratini over, right?
Update on Steel Progress: 1/2 there, defeated Lance just now. Used the same tactic against Elite Four that I did in my Bug Challenge (e.g overpower Scizor and run right through them with Swords Dance/Agility and Slash). Planning to finish tomorrow, probably gonna keep soloing through with Scizor now...the only real challenges left are Red's Charizard and Blaine's gym. |
I´s like to join this challenge with an ground team so let´s go.
1.Update: -choosen chikorita as starder, named it trash. -get the egg -lost agaist rival (forgot to go to pokecenter) -talked with the prof. -got an geodude -got 1 badge -run away in fear of the sprout tower -catched an wooper -kicked the but of team rock-et -owned bugsy -searched an sandshrew -still searching -found the sense of life -stopped searching sandshrew -try to catch an onix, lost all my balls -defeated an sandsrew -.- -got to the forest took a look to see the team, GAME CRASHED FORGOT TO SAVE!, give up for the moment see ya later |
I know having to do stuff again because of not having saved is annoying, but... do you really want to give already up? Not try again later, maybe with another type?
|
Ok, I have 4 Badges and 3 team members,(My whole team).
Team- Bonehead/Marowak-Lv.29 Bone Club Headbutt Leer Growl Muddy/Quagsire-Lv.28 Surf Slam Amnesia Tail Whip Boulder/Graveler-Lv.29 Magnitude Rock Throw Defense Curl Harden |
I'll do a Houndoom solo challenge on Gold and Trade over a Level 5 newly hatched Houndour.
Update, started out, picked Totodile because if I remember, he learns the most HM's (he will be the HM Slave), beat rival, named him Silver, got Houndour at level 5, took him to Sprout Tower to smash everything, and easily beat Falkner Team: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/38/Spr_2g_228.png Devildog Lvl 12 Leer Ember Roar I usually never plan my moves and go on the fly, but with Houndour I will have to since he has so much weaknesses. So my planned final moveset for when he becomes a Houndoom is looking to be Crunch Flamethrower Iron Tail and probably Headbutt, but Return seems better in the long run Does this sound good for a solo? And Crunch was Special Attack in Generation II right, it's pretty important since Houndour/Houndooms Special Attack is more than its regular Attack. Double Update, went through Union Cave, it was pretty hard since all the pokemon went against my type except for Zubat, beat the Rockets, easily beat Bugly, demolished my rival Silver, went through Ilex Forest, beat all the trainers so Devildog can get some experience, Devildog evolved to Houndoom, easily annihilated Whitney to a big surprize, I took out her Clafary in one shot with a Critical Hit, then I only had to use Bite 2 times to take out her annoying Milktank Team: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/39/Spr_2g_229.png Devildog Lvl 24 Leer (Will be replaced once I get Iron Tail) Ember Headbutt (Will get replaced with Return on Sunday when the lady comes) Bite |
ThwackX would like to take up the challenge. I will use ROCK type pokemon, and im playing pokemon Gold.
|
Triple update, got to Ekruteak City, beat my rival easily again, unlocked the dogs, beat Morty easily because I had Bite, got to Olivine, did lighthouse stuff, beat Jasmine first because she is weak against Ember I wasn't hit once, caught a Psyduck to be HM Slave #2, went to Cianwood crazy scared, battled Chuck, against him he didn't hit me either since he was flinching on Headbutt. So 6 Gym Leaders down, 2 more Johto ones to go.
Team: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/39/Spr_2g_229.png Devildog Lvl 37 Faint Attack Ember Headbutt Iron Tail http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/72/Spr_2g_158.pngHM Slave #1 Cut Surf http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/dd/Spr_2g_054.pngHM Slave #2 Strength Flash Update, did Lake Of Rage stuff, helped Lance, beat Pryce without a challenge, an d now it's time to save the Radio Tower. Team: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/39/Spr_2g_229.pngDevildog Lvl 42 Faint Attack Flamethrower Headbutt Iron Tail http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/72/Spr_2g_158.pngHM Slave #1 Cut Surf Whirlpool http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/dd/Spr_2g_054.pngHM Slave #2 Strength Flash |
