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. |

Alpha Sapphire, Fighting
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! |
