The Monotype Challenge
The Monotype Challenge The Challenge: The Monotype Challenge is a challenge where you use only Pokemon of a single type throughout your game. Rules: 1. Your final team must consist of at least 2 Elite Four-viable Pokémon who share the type you specified in your sign up. No Pokémon may be used in Trainer Battles outside of that specified type. Monotypes may not be stacked into a single run. (ie, using Vileplume and Victreebel and calling it both Poison and Grass monotypes) 2. A Pokémon of your type must be obtained before you earn your second badge or before Lana's Trial (S/M). If this is impossible in your game, you may hack or trade a single Non-Legendary Pokémon of your type within your region's Pokédex. See below for a list of qualifying challenges. No hacking is permitted otherwise. Hacking or trading items into your game is never permitted. Before you obtain the first Pokémon of your type, you may only use your starter Pokémon. 3. Pokémon outside your type may be used as long as they evolve into your type by the end of the challenge. 4. All Pokémon on this list plus Mega Latias/os are banned from use in this challenge: Banned Pokémon in Battle Maison Any other legendaries (i.e. Legendary Birds) are allowed, but only 1. 5. Trading is permitted for evolution, and obtaining version exclusive Pokémon in your region's Pokédex that cannot be obtained otherwise, as long as its level does not exceed the highest level on your team. No HA/Egg Moves/Perfect IVs for this trade in. You may hack Pokemon to evolve if they evolve by trading if you are incapable of doing so. If the Pokemon requires an item, you must wait until you have the item before hacking the evolution. Using a trade evolution patch on a ROM is also acceptable. Trading to another game and evolving is allowed at level 30 or above, but only for Leafeon/Glaceon in B2W2, and Glaceon/Crabominable in SM. *Note: Trading in Nectars for Oricorio is allowed, as it's a simple form change that doesn't change base stats, this also allows anyone using a specific Oricorio to be used from the first island. **Note2: Island Scan Pokemon are allowed as well, because although they are not in the Pokedex, they are obtainable within the limits of the game/challenge. 6. HM Slaves are permitted. They do not need to match your type. 7. Hacked ROMs are permitted. Any hacks are only viable for single challenges. *This was added 8/4/17, any ultimate challenges that includes hacks started before this will not count against you. 8. Pokéwalker and Pokémon Dream Radar may be used to obtain Pokémon of your type for the challenge, as long as they are imported directly into the game you are playing and not traded in from a separate game. 9. Dark and Steel are exempt from needing Kanto for Ultimate Challenges, since the types were introduced in Generation 2, with only Magnemite being available in FireRed and LeafGreen with one of these types. 10. Affection is not allowed (Sylveon is the only exception, but a max of two for Sylveon, no hearts at all for everything else). Mega Stones are not allowed. Z-Moves are allowed as of 8/5/17. 11. An Ultimate Challenge is accomplished by reaching the end game of one game from all seven official regions using the same type. They do not need to be completed in chronological order. Fairy type only needs Kalos, Hoenn, and Alola to complete. 12. Should you want to play outside the standard rules, You may opt out of championship by setting your Challenge Mode to Free Mode. Free Mode allows you to play the Monotype challenge how you want to while still being able to post updates. End Game Points These points are considered the end of the game.

Old thread champions not being ported? Awww... I still want to see my name next to my favorite type in the Ultimate section...
Anyway, I completed my Electric Sun monotype from the last thread a couple weeks ago but forgot to post about it. Oops. Aaaand I think the exception pokemon listed at the bottom apply to rule 5, not 6. Necrum had the same mistake. |

But before I update it, I want to get it right. You have completed Ultimate Grass and Electric Single on Sun, correct? And yeah, I used his thread as a basis and changed some things, so I accidentally missed that, it's been fixed. :) |
Will you be letting people port existing progress on Ultimates into this thread? If so, I am carrying over my Bug Monotype Challenge, which is complete in Leaf Green and Heart Gold and currently in progress with Alpha Sapphire.

Nothing really changed, defeated Brawly super easy, I think it's the first time my starter isn't't evolved when I fight Brawly.

Quick question about items in the game, could I import the secret key so I could grab rotom wash form? I still have my platinum physical copy with my key in it so it is in the game, just 7-8 years ago. |
Quote:
It would be a different answer if it was obtainable in-game, but since you can't get it while playing the game, then I can't allow it. Also, fyi, assuming this question is for your Water Monotype, all Rotom formes are Electric/Ghost in gen 4, and didn't get separate typings until gen 5, so you wouldn't be able to use it anyways. :p |

Pokemon Y - Fighting Monotype Update #1:
Badges: 4/8 Currently in the Power Plant. I currently cannot check my levels/moves as I don't have my 3DS with me, but here's my team so far. Spoiler:
--------------------------------------------- I also added a note regarding Oricorio forms, allowing Nectars being traded in to use any form from the first island. They don't change base stats, and the only thing that changes is the type and the move Revelation Dance, so I felt it would be acceptable to allow this. |
Emerald Bug Monotype Update 2:
Made some pretty good progress. Current plan: Catch an Illumise, use MALTA against Wattson for all but his Voltorb. Current Team: MIKE the Beautifly, Level 20 DUSTER the Dustox, Level 20 KALA the Ninjask, Level 21 and MALTA the Shedinja, Level 20 Update 2.5:
Ditched the plan about Illumise. I'll wait for Anorith, then Heracross. Now, off to some more plot (and also Flannery). Current Team: MIKE the Beautifly, Level 21 DUSTER the Dustox, Level 22 KALA the Ninjask, Level 21 and MALTA the Shedinja, Level 22 And if it isn't too much trouble, may I be added to the original post? ;) |

They're a pretty large feature in the games they're introduced, and personally I think there's something special about having a "team mega". I care less about Z-crystals, though, but I think it should be up to the player whether or not they want to use megas or Z-moves. Just my two cents. |

Would it be too much trouble for me to change the Gen IV section of my Ultimate Fire run from Platinum to Pearl?
I began playing Platinum on an emulator on my phone but I'm finding it runs a little sluggish compared to the older games. I was hoping to play on my handheld DS instead for a smoother experience but I own Pearl and not Platinum. I started a progression post for Platinum which I will edit and restart for Pearl if this is ok. |

Quick question. Rule 5 states you can trade in version exclusives so long as they are in the regional dex.
I switched from Platinum to Pearl which cuts down my fire types significantly, I can only obtain my starter and Ponyta pre-E4. I wanted to trade over a Platinum exclusive or two so it's not just a two Pokemon bulldoze through the game, but I've realised that Platinum and Pearl do not share a regional pokedex - the fire types available in Platinum are not in Pearl's dex. Does this mean this challenge must be completed with just the two Pokemon available in Pearl? |

I was going to have another update, but I've decided to take a short break to avoid burnout. Expect me to continue in a couple days. Just in case anybody was curious, I guess.
|
So, I started my ground run of Pokemon X last week, and I'm already to Cyllage City. I haven't gotten the badge here yet, but I need to do some serious grinding first. I caught a whole bunch of new ground pokemon on Route 9 and in the Glittering Cave. I'm on the hunt for a Golett on Route 10 too, but so far, no luck. Here's my team now:
https://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/111.gif Rhybecca Lv. 19 https://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/449.gif Fat Amy Lv. 20 https://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/104.gif Skullamy Lv. 20 https://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/095.gif Boulda Lv. 21 https://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/551.gif Medusa Lv. 23 https://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/660.gif Babs Lv. 26 Babs got me through everything up to Route 9 and only got knocked out a couple times, which was pretty impressive. And I don't know how this happened, but every single ground-type pokemon I ran in to first has been female. So, I guess this is an all-girl run too. ;) Also, I am strangely excited to be using Rhyhorn. I've always liked that evolution line (minus Rhyperior of course), and I've never used them. Now's my chance to get some mileage out of Rhybecca. I'm hoping I can get Medusa and Skullamy evolved before I face the gym leader, and I have to go back and find Rock Smash. Right now, Babs is the only one who knows a fighting move, and this gym is going to be really tedious without those.

I've got another update for my Pokemon X ground run. I now have four badges and am just starting the Power Plant mission. My dice role at the beginning for my starter turned out to be a bit of bad luck, as Calem ended up with Froakie. My first time facing his Frogadier ended in a complete wipe of my team thanks to a badly timed critical hit on my Krokorok. I beat him easily the second time though. He didn't even use any water moves that time. Anyway, my team has switched up a bit, and here they are now.

Hello, I just wanted to make an announcement, I'm changing White 2 to just White. The reason for this is that I really want a seismitoad, and it's post game exclusive.

I feel I should mention that I've been very slowly updating this, and once I'm done I'll try to stick to a weekly schedule. So if you don't see your username in the update list, just be patient, I'll get to it.
And an update for myself. Sun - Dragon Monotype I traded in a Drampa egg at the beginning, and just solo'd with him until I beat Hala. Today just also happens to be Tuesday, so I used Island scan to get Deino, and I'll be doing tomorrow as well to get Horsea. I have so far beaten Lana's Trial, my team as of now: Drampa Lv.22 Deino Lv.23 I can't post movesets because I don't have my 3DS on hand, but I'll be sure to get them for my next update. |

Currently traveling through: Alola (Moon) Progress on Ultimate Challenge: Fire Red, Soul Silver, Ruby, Pearl, White 2, Y, Moon - Got to Akala Island - Caught a Poliwag on Brooklet Hill - Defeated totem Wishiwashi - Caught a Goldeen on Brooklet Hill - Defeated totem Salazzle - So when I defeated Salazzle, I immediatly started to get the fear sweats. If I don't overlevel or get something good against it, I am getting Fucked. So I came up with the great idea: Why not both? I caught a Wimpod and leveled everyone to Lvl 30 (Yes, this is how anxious I was). Wimpod evolved to Golisopod, and Poliwag to Poliwhirl. I used my waterstone to make it Poliwrath. - Defeated totem Lurantis with ease thanks to Golisopod. - Defeated Olivia Team: Spoiler:

Sun - Dragon Monotype
Island Trials: 6/7 Grand Trials: 2/4 On my way to Po Town, last saved right in front of Ula'ula Meadow. I had a fainted Butterfree at the front of my team so I could increase the chances of Horsea having a Dragon Scale, and it was quick as the second one had it. I also farmed a Dragon Fang from Bagon for obvious reasons. I stopped using Drampa and Deino once I got Axew, as they were somewhat lacking compared to Kingdra, and later caught Turtonator and Gabite. I was also pleasantly surprised that Turtonator can learn Charge Beam. :D My last two members are going to be the obvious ones, Alolan Exeggutor and Kommo-o, but it sucks that I have to wait until the last Island for these. So finally, here's my team up to this point: Spoiler:

Ultimate Flying Monotype Challenge
Game: Black 2 Badges: 8 Unova Completed! Status: Leaf Green, Soul Silver, Omega Ruby, Platinum, Black 2 (8/8), Y, S/M (0/8) Here goes my first actual update in the new thread. I can see that I haven't been added to the ultimate challenger's list yet, so I figured I should probably do some updating to get that sorted out. As of this update, I'm only missing Alola on my Fire-, Grass- and Flying challenges, and a few more on my Bug challenge. Anyway, I just recently beat the E4 and Iris in Black 2. Sigilyph and Swanna took down Shauntal in a team effort, Crobat blasted through Marshal's entire team, Emolga took out most of Caitlin's team, but had to bring in help from Unfezant, and Crobat almost took out all of Grimsley's team, but Mandibuzz had to finish him off. As for Iris, Emolga was off to a great start, taking out Hydreigon, but was then beaten by Lapras. Unfezant then managed to take down Lapras and Druddigon, but was beaten by Archeops. Swanna was then sent in to clean up. And that's it, here's my final team: http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/black-white/animated/unfezant-female.gif Unfezant, lv. 62 w/ Silk Scarf Female // Adamant // Big Pecks - Return - U-turn - Fly - Roost Unfezant was kinda cool to use, but it has an absolutely terrible movepool. Sure, most generic birds have terrible movepools, but Unfezant doesn't even learn a decent Flying-type attack. Sure, on a mono-Flying team, it wasn't exactly needed, but still... Come on. Still, Unfezant powered through more enemies than expected with a hard-hitting Return. http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/black-white/animated/crobat.gif Crobat, lv. 65 Female // Adamant // Inner Focus - Acrobatics - Cross Poison - Zen Headbutt - X-Scissor I don't really have much to say about Crobat. I've used it on several of my Flying-type challenges for a reason - I absolutely adore Crobat. http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/black-white/animated/swanna.gif Swanna, lv. 64 w/ Wide Lens Male // Timid // Big Pecks - Surf - Hurricane - Rain Dance - Ice Beam I used Swanna on my Kalos Flying-team, as well, and I've gotta say - eh. Swanna is alright, and Ice Beam provided great coverage, but other than that, Swanna is kinda - well - boring. Design-wise, if nothing else. http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/black-white/animated/sigilyph.gif Sigilyph, lv. 62 w/ TwistedSpoon Male // Bold // Magic Guard - Psychic - Air Slash - Energy Ball - Shadow Ball Sigilyph is awesome. I love its freaky design. It was fun to use, if maybe a little difficult to utilize properly. http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/black-white/animated/mandibuzz.gif Mandibuzz, lv. 63 w/ Leftovers Female // Careful // Weak Armor - Brave Bird - U-turn - Bone Rush - Roost If not for the fact that the game gives you a level 25(I think?) Mandibuzz with its HA, I never would've used it. It has a weird stat distribution, a kinda lackluster movepool, and I'm not too keen on its design. I ended up kinda liking it, though. Mandibuzz, you're alright. http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/black-white/animated/emolga.gif Emolga, lv. 62 w/ Magnet Male // Timid // Static - Thunderbolt - Volt Switch - Thunder Wave - Signal Beam As far as Pikachu clones go, I really like Emolga, Stat- and movepool-wise, it's a little underwhelming, sure, but it's adorable and just powerful enough to be a pretty decent team member. |

Log #7 and last: Done it! The Elite four was easy until I met Drake's Salamance and I had to start over. Then with a bit of strategy, he was defeated too. Steven's Metagross was another matter, completely wrecked me. In my second try, I just taught Candy Kitty bulk up, setup on his Cradily and it was over, a crunch here, a brick break there. Lots of fun, gonna do a Wonderlocke on Pokemon moon, then I'm going to come back for more monotype!

Sun - Dragon Monotype
Challenge Completed I beat Guzma with really no issue, thanks to Turtonator's Flamethrower. Once I did all the Aether Paradise stuff, and after barely beating Lusamine and getting to Poni Island, I went back to Hano Beach and farmed up some Stardust and Star Pieces from the Staryu there. **FYI, great place to get money at this point in the game and even late game if you're desperate, just have a fainted Butterfree and a Pokemon with Thief, then you're set. Compound Eyes makes Staryu have 60% of Stardust and 20% chance of Star Piece, and they also drop some after battle sometimes. After catching an Exeggcute (because catching Exeggutor already evolved doesn't have Dragon Hammer -.-), I noticed my problem was that my Pokemon can't take special hits for shit, so I went back to Route 17 and caught a Goomy (I would've just caught Sliggoo where I was at if it were raining), and after 20 or so chained Fearow, one finally popped up, and guess what? It had it's HA, Gooey, which has been super helpful, and also had perfect IVs in Attack, Special Attack and Special Defense (according to serebii's stat calculator). I trained a LOT and got my team to about 48, and continuing through Vast Poni Canyon, my team was 52-53 when fighting Lusamine in Ultra Space. Goodra was an absolute beast. My amazing slime dragon used two Sludge Waves on Clefable, then took 3 Moonblasts before she swapped it out, and after I healed, Goodra proceeded to wreck the rest of her team, then finished Clefable with a final Sludge Wave. So after all that, I went to the Pokemon League, taught my Pokemon some new moves with the Heart Scale lady, trained a bit, then took out the Elite Four. My team, Goodra was by far my MVP for the remainder of the game: Spoiler:

Ultimate Fire Monotype Challenge
Game: Moon Island Trials: 1/7 Grand Trials: 1/4 Finally starting up my Alolan Fire-type challenge! I've spent longer than I care to admit soft resetting for natures, but I've finally completed Melemele Island. Finally got myself an Adamant Litten, after what seemed like forever, caught a Jolly Growlithe, trained for a bit, and then completed Ilima's trial. Then I spent an eternity in Melemele Meadow, trying to get a Timid or a Modest Oricorio, before I finally caught myself a Timid one. I've traded a Red Nectar to my game, along with a level 29 Turtonator from Sun, which is sitting comfortably in the PC, until one of my other Pokémon reaches level 29, and I'm allowed to use it. As for Hala, I figured Oricorio could use the training, so she blasted through his entire team with Air Cutter. Here's my team so far: http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/torracat.gif Torracat, lv. 19 w/ Expert Belt Male // Adamant // Blaze - Fire Fang - Scratch - Work Up - Lick http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/oricorio.gif Oricorio, lv. 14 w/ Sharp Beak Female // Timid // Dancer - Pound - Helping Hand - Air Cutter - Work Up http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/xy/growlithe.gif Growlithe, lv. 15 w/ Quick Claw Female // Jolly // Intimidate - Bite - Roar - Ember - Leer |

Ultimate Fire Monotype Challenge
Game: Moon Island Trials: 4/7 Grand Trials: 2/4 Just arrived at Ula'ula Island! Lana's trial was a pain, that Wishiwashi Totem destroyed my team, like, four or five times, so I had to grind for a while and plan some sort of strategy. Growlithe would sacrifice itself, getting in as many Confides as possible, then Torracat would paralyze it with Lick, and finally Oricorio would spam Air Cutter and hope for the best. Before Kiawe's trial, I caught myself a Cubone and a Salandit. Cubone one-shotted the Salazzle Totem, and (almost) the entire team took down the Lurantis Totem in a surprisingly difficult battle. By the time I went up against Olivia, Torracat and Oricorio had reached level 29, so I was allowed to use the Turtonator from Sun that was sitting in my PC. Good thing, too, it saved me in the battle against her. Cubone had evolved by then and lost what little advantage it otherwise had against her. Side-note, Alolan Marowak is sick af. Here's my current team: http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/torracat.gif Torracat, lv. 31 w/ Expert Belt Male // Adamant // Blaze - Fire Fang - Bite - Work Up - Leech Life http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/xy/growlithe.gif Growlithe, lv. 29 w/ Quick Claw Female // Jolly // Intimidate - Fire Fang - Reversal - Bite - Confide http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/oricorio.gif Oricorio, lv. 31 w/ Sharp Beak Female // Timid // Dancer - Air Cutter - Baton Pass - Pound - Roost http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/salandit.gif Salandit, lv. 29 w/ Poison Barb Female // Modest // Corrosion - Flame Burst - Toxic - Dragon Rage - Venoshock http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/marowak-alola.gif Marowak, lv. 30 w/ Thick Club Female // Adamant // Lightning Rod - Bonemerang - Fmale Charge - Rock Tomb - Brick Break http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/turtonator.gif Turtonator, lv. 32 w/ Charcoal Female // Timid // Shell Armor - Charge Beam - Venoshock - Iron Defense - Flamethrower |

Ultimate Fire Monotype Challenge
Game: Moon Island Trials: 7/7 Grand Trials: 4/4 Ultimate Challenge completed! That's it! Once again, my Fire-type UMC is complete! I've been through a few trials since my last update, so I'm just gonna do an update on the E4. Oricorio handled itself well at first against Hala, but was taken out by Poliwrath, so Arcanine had to step in with Wild Charge. In the end, I think it was Marowak who took out most of his Pokémon. Olivia was tough. Had to use a Max Revive, even. I think Turtonator was able to win in the end. Turtonator was MVP for sure during this E4 challenge. Acerola(?) was kinda tough, as well. Incineroar, Marowak and Arcanine all had to chip in. I forgot the Flying-type trainer's name, but she was by far the easiest of the bunch. Turtonator was able to set up two Shell Smashes and then just proceeded to wreck her team. Then there was Kukui. I had a lot of trouble with Kukui. His damn Lycanroc singlehandedly took out three of my Pokémon, before it for some reason decided to set up Stealth Rock, so I could set up with Turtonator and take it out with Flash Cannon. The rest of the battle was a desperate stalling game of me constantly reviving fainted Pokémon. In the end, all I had was Turtonator (again!) against his Ninetales. After surviving a Blizzard that I thought for sure would make me start over, Turtonator finally finished the battle with a Flash Cannon. Crazy difficult battle. FINAL TEAM: http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/incineroar.gif Incineroar, lv. 57 w/ Expert Belt Male // Adamant // Blaze - Flare Blitz - Darkest Lariat - Cross Chop - Leech Life When they were announced, Incineroar was certainly not my favorite starter, but boy, has it grown on me. There's a lot of personality and charm to it for a Dark-type Pokémon that is trying very hard not to be a Fighting-type. All in all, a really cool starter, I think. http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/xy/arcanine.gif Arcanine, lv. 56 w/ Quick Claw Female // Jolly // Intimidate - Flare Blitz - Outrage - Crunch - Wild Charge Throughout this challenge, I wanted to use only new Alolan Pokémon or Alola Forms. That left me with one slot after a bit of team planning, and how could I not fill that slot with Arcanine? An iconic Fire-type ever since its introduction. I don't need to do any sort of analysis of Arcanine, Arcanine is amazing. That's all there is to it http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/oricorio.gif Oricorio, lv. 56 w/ Sharp Beak Female // Timid // Dancer - Revelation Dance - Air Slash - Mirror Move - Roost Oricorio felt very much like a generic Normal/Flying bird that also kind of maybe was a bit of a Fire-type. I adore the design, and its dancing animations were really cool, but other than that, it was a little difficult to get excited about Oricorio. http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/marowak-alola.gif Marowak, lv. 58 w/ Thick Club Female // Adamant // Lightning Rod - Flare Blitz - Bonemerang - Rock Slide - Shadow Bone The baddest of the bad, Alolan Marowak is clearly the superior Marowak, because how can you even begin to compare this majestic craziness to the absolute mediocrity that is regular Marowak? 10/10, for design, if nothing else. And, of course, it's crazy strong with Thick Club. http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/salazzle.gif Salazzle, lv. 58 w/ Poison Barb Female // Modest // Corrosion - Flamethrower - Dragon Pulse - Nasty Plot - Sludge Wave Other than the fact that soft-resetting for this thing took an eternity and a half, Salazzle was super fun to use. Amongst a region of snail-tier speed stats, Salazzle was sure to go first 90% of the time. Couldn't take a hit, though, which made it difficult to set up. http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/sol-luna/sprites/animados/turtonator.gif Turtonator, lv. 59 w/ Charcoal Female // Timid // Shell Armor - Flamethrower - Flash Cannon - Dragon Pulse - Shell Smash Oh boy. I did not have my hopes up for Turtonator, and I was not initially planning on using one with a Timid nature. Incredibly, though, a Timid Turtonator with Shell Smash proved to be a REALLY solid strategy. At +2 speed, Turtonator would outspeed almost anything I threw it at. And at +2 Sp. Attack, it would usually OHKO it, as well. MVP for sure against the E4, and just a much more fun Pokémon than I thought it would be. All in all, fun challenge, I'll have to do this again when Gen 8 comes out! |
