So I had an ultimate run going in the last thread but my pc with all my saves on it bricked. Time to start a new one! Now on a laptop that's just about as powerful as a toaster I actually have to dust off my old physical copies for most of these.

Oh man this brings back memories. i was a psychic champ in gen 5 and a bug champ in gen 6. last i recall i was in the middle of a fire ultimate but i've since given up on that. what can i say, grinding monferno and ponyta to the mid 30s just to beat fantina was NOT fun.
but hell yeah i'll give it another shot. which type to go for though. there's intresting ones like Dragon and Steel, ones with plenty of options like water or grass, or with tricky strategies like Poison. its difficult to know. yknow what, since it contains some of my favourite pokemon.

Alright, about time I actually did a challenge run again.
Forum User Name : Spirit Shackle Game : Renegade Platinum Pokémon Type : Ice Mode : Single Ren Plat is the newest of Dray's enhancement hacks, as it serves as a "493" hack (as in, makes 493 Pokemon available within the game without trading/events) of Platinum with a few other changes. Most notably for this run, the game hands you an Eevee and an Ice Stone prior to gym 1, meaning I have access to an Ice-type prior to the first gym, and Route 116 is accessible prior to Gardenia, meaning I will have a full team by gym 2. Downside: I have to solo a Rock-type gym of 6 Pokemon with a Glaceon. Worst case scenario, uh, I get Earth Power at 37? This could be a mistake. |
Alright my first update

Team: Spoiler:
Thoughts: this was tougher than i expected, true it went by faster than frlg would have (or god forbid Let's Go!) but the lack of variety in movesets hurt me a lot, Rhydon didnt know anything but normal moves till i taught it Rock Slide and Submission from TMs. and he was still one of only 2 pokemon on my team without a Ground move. yknow, the type this is supposed to be a mono run of. Onix learned diddly squat too but at least Bind was semi useful for awhile. none of the trainers were as tough as i thought, i was expecting lorelei to be a nightmare. and after almost being swept by Blue's gyarados in previous fights it was a relief to see Nidoking KO Lance's AND Blue's with a crit thunderbolt each in one shot. MVP: Nidoking Early it didnt do much but it learned horn attack as a good move early. but once it evolved to Nidoking and learned a nice variety of moves like thunderbolt and surf, suddenly it was a force to be reckoned with. its main advantage was unrivaled coverage. LVP: Onix I loved having the chance to use Onix for once (shame this is the last time since from gen 2 onward i have his superior evolution at my disposal) but he was pretty awful, Screech and Bind off a respectable speed stat for a ground type in gen 1 was nice but it was still too weak, not as strong as the OPness of Wrap and his attack stat was pathetic. when a 4x effective STAB move does barely half to a pokemon, there's something wrong. plus it learned diddly through the game, sticking to Screech, Rock Throw, Bind and Rage. i could have taught it slam but it wouldntve done much and was innacurate anyway. Imma take a small break then maybe start on HeartGold sometime later.

Turns out 130 base SpA is stronger than I thought. Who knew?
Ice Waves ddrox13's Monotype Challenge of Renegade Platinum with the Ice type. Badges: 1/8 Right, let the suicide run begin. Oh this is also going to be mono-gender - Only female Pokemon. - I started by picking my starter. And by "picking my starter" I mean letting the RNG decide Rabinov's starter. Conveniently, my favorite d20 rolled me Piplup, meaning Rabi took the 4x weak to ice Torterra. I lost the first fight with him because Withdraw is busted. - Real starter - Fjorm the Eevee. We did a little grinding, and then headed for Jubilife. - Turns out Rival 2 is hard with just a non-Adaptability Eevee. We won anyway. On the 4th try. - Ice Stone get means Fjorm evolved into Glaceon - GYM 1: Took 4 tries, but finally got some good RNG. 2HKOing everything helped. Badges: 1 - Nothing of consequence until the Windworks - Mars was easy. - Nothing of consequence until Eterna EXCEPT... - In the forest, I found a Shiny Murkrow! NOT FALCO will now be the prettiest pink fly slave. - Gardenia's absence forces us to go to route 116, which I wanted to go to anyway. Because, you know, the rest of my team is there. - Snow! Yay! - Enter: Gjoll the Snorunt, Sylgr the Swinub, Hrid the Snover, and Leiptr the Sneasel. - Slapping Brick Break on Leiptr allows me to FINALLY stop using Fjorm for a while, which is good, since she's nearly DOUBLE the level of everyone else (35 vs 18-19) - Grinded to 22ish on the whole party - Began the trek back to Eterna The Team I'll also be including some tidbits about important changes in Renegade Platinum for these Pokémon Spoiler:

I always like monotype runs :) They're not incredibly hard, but fun nevertheless. Monotype runs I've completed over the years include:
- Leaf Green: Mono Normal (Pidgeot, Raticate, Persian, Clefable, Snorlax, ?? - maybe Tauros) - Platinum: Mono Water (Empoleon, Tentacruel, Golduck, Gyarados, Gastrodon?, ?? - maybe Vaporeon) - Platinum: Mono Poison (Crobat, Gengar, Drapion, Tentacruel, Roserade, Toxicroak) - Black 2: Mono Bug (Heracross, Leavanny, Crustle, Galvantula, Volcarona, Yanmega) I should do one on Emerald or Soul Silver. |

ddrox13's Monotype Challenge of Renegade Platinum with the Ice type. https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/bb/471MS.pnghttps://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/8f/478MS.pnghttps://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/6d/221MS.pnghttps://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/06/459MS.pnghttps://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/67/215MS.png Badges: 3/8 Ice is a really weird type early game. Because Ice-types are generally late game mons, they aren't really balanced around the early game. There's basically only two early level Ice moves - Icy Wind and Ice Shard - and then basically no intermediate moves before Ice Beam. On one hand, this means literally my whole team had Priority until I dropped it on Fjorm for Shadow Ball after Fantina. These two moves were essentially mandatory on everyone - leaving little room for the few coverage options I had. They also tend to have REALLY late evolutions - Lv40 for Snover, 42 for Snorunt (in the vanilla game), 33 for Swinub, rare item for Sneasel, location locked to the 7th gym for Eevee (again, vanilla), and so on. Those would be okay levels for the final bit of a 3-stage line, but those are all evolving from the base form, meaning they will almost always have subpar stats until the late game. Thankfully Renegade Plat also makes the "late game" levels start at around gym 5, which means we can start hitting those evo triggers earlier. After 3 gyms, my whole team has evolved once, bar Sneasel who can carry his own weight even without evolving and Snover who is... bad. Also because of how garbage Ice is defensively, Speed is debatably my most important stat so far. Thankfully with a base 95 in Fjorm (Glaceon), a base 110 in Gjoll (Froslass), and a base 115 (soon to be 125) in Leiptr (Sneasel), we're fairly stocked in that department. On the other hand, thanks to aforementioned slow evolutions and just being, you know, slow, Hrid (Snover) and Sylgr (Piloswine) have been a bit of a liability thus far. I've faith in Sylgr - she's my Fire "resist", after all - but I worry for Hrid, as his typing makes it mostly impossible to just tank a hit and then nuke back, which leans towards him being a bit of a hail bot (which is pretty much how Abomasnow ended up the last time I did a Sinnoh Monotype). Oh, and Thief is just really good in games where enemies have broken items super early like this one. So far, Leiptr has nabbed a Life Orb, some Leftovers, Light Clay for Sylgr to use, and some other junk. Technician also means I'll be keeping Thief for basically the whole run. Oh yeah, that's why Sneasel is so good before evolving - he literally has his final moveset already. --- Anywho, on to what happened. I start this update with Gardenia. You'd expect her to be easy, but she has a Breloom (Technician Mach Punch), Belossom (BST 490), and Roserade (BST 515) among her ranks, and at this point I'm using Snorunt (BST 300) and Swinub (BST 250) among my main party members. Also I was trying not to use Fjorm to balance levels (she was still ~14 levels ahead from soloing the first quarter of the game), but Breloom I just didn't feel like dancing around Mach Punch, so Fjorm blew it up. Other than that, with a shot of Priority and a pinch of slow tf down wind, the other four members of my party managed to take out everyone else. And by that I mean I tried to use Hrid, Sylgr, and Gjoll as much as possible then just had Leiptr clean house. Most of the Galactic Eterna Building was training for the three underlevelled party members (Hrid, Sylgr, Gjoll), but Fjorm and Leiptr again had to do most of the work during the Jupiter fight. The bike shop owner, in lieu of a bike (we already had one), granted me a Dawn Stone, which meant that Gjoll evolved into Froslass. The Mira sidequest is mandatory in this game, so to wayward we go. I decided to use the opportunity to have my party healed after every battle to grind some more, and got everyone up to 32ish, or 33 in the case of Sylgr because I wanted to just have Sylgr evolve into Piloswine ASAP. Also Mira gives you a Dazzling Gleam TM. So that's a thing. Now on-level with Fantina's party, it's time for... OH RIGHT THE AARON FIGHT. Yeah so Aaron of the Elite Four challenges you to an unofficial match as you're about to hit Hearthome, and even though the story progresses on a loss I kinda wanted to win, so after a few resets I was able to beat his Scizor with a crit Ice Beam from Fjorm, and therefore him. I am NOT looking forward to fighting that Scizor again. The Fantina fight was really easy. Gjoll, now wielding Shadow Ball, tore through Drifblim and Dusclops. Leiptr took out Banette, while Fjorm handled Gengar and Spiritomb (ty Dazzling Gleam). Mismagius would have OHKOed my party, if not for Sylgr's Light Screen setup allowing Gjoll to eat a Shadow Ball and retaliate with a close-enough-to-lethal one of her own.
