Emerald Bug Monotype Update 3:
  • Connected Rustboro and Verdanturf
  • Made way to Meteor Falls, saw Team Magma mug a guy for a space rock
  • Followed Team Magma up a volcano, stopped Maxie from expanding the volcano with a broken itemfinder or something
  • Beat Flannery because her Numel kept using Magnitude against KALA.
  • Took the Claw Fossil and revived an Anorith, named it ARTY

Now on to actually fight Brawly, then Norman.

Current Team:

MIKE the Beautifly, Level 33
DUSTER the Dustox, Level 32
KALA the Ninjask, Level 33
MALTA the Shedinja, Level 32
and ARTY the Anorith, Level 20

I did a little bit of grinding to be strong enough for these fights. Won't need to for Brawly, though!

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.

keishajay March 5th, 2017 2:41 PM

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

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.

Lv. 30

I'm still going strong with this first encounter female ratio. Every single ground-type I've run in to is still female, with the exception of Golett of course. I have Diggersby, Dugtrio, Onyx, and Gible waiting in the box if I ever need them too. Also, I changed Skullamy's nickname to Skullvia, and my Onyx is now Barda.

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.

If a Pokemon is in the Pokedex, but is only obtainable post-game, you can trade/hack it in. :)

Quote:

Rule #5 applies to any Pokemon only available in the post-game or not at all, but are still in the Regional Dex, which are: (also incluing all of evo line)
- G/S/C: Anything only available in Kanto/Mt. Silver (i.e. Houndour, Misdreavus, etc.) Same applies to HG/SS, but much more limited due to Safari Zone. More detailed list is coming at some point
- R/S/E/OR/AS: Beldum
- B2/W2: Archen, Tirtouga, Tympole, Munna, Durant, Heatmor, Cyrogonal, Stunfisk, Larvitar, Croagunk, Carnivine, Tropius, Yanma, Lickitung, Igglybuff, Slakoth, Corphish

However, I'm playing on an emulator, and I have no idea how to hack it in on an emulator, especially since I want to keep my starter (and not replace it with Tympole)

L'Belle March 13th, 2017 12:06 PM

Ok, Volga has helped me out here, so I am going to keep White 2!

Volga March 14th, 2017 3:26 PM

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.

- 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
