FireRed Water Monotype Update #4:
It’s been several months since I last updated, and I haven’t played too much, but I have made a bit of progress since my last update. My team is headed for Fuschia City and gym badge #5. Horsea (now Seadra) has also joined the ranks, and is well on its way to catching up to the other team members. The team: Blastoise Gyarados Vaporeon Seadra Mostly in the 40s. |

Game(s): Sword Pokémon Type: Ground Single/Ultimate: Ultimate:Optional. I completed the ultimate run back in a previous iteration of the thread, during Gen 7. Gotta get caught back up and lock in this game as a Ground Champ. Thank you! Edit: My Ult-Ground run started here: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=388312&page=9 |
Sword - Part 1
Slow start, but it should snowball from here. I tried to do this earlier this year, but I was burnt out from my normal playthrough. I'm already farther than I made it on that attempt. Spoiler:

Ultimate Monotype Challenge - Fire Red Part #4 - Yeah, I'm still doing this So I picked this up again for lack of anything else to do...here I was, thinking I would be done with this within a month. I'll be lucky to finish it at the end of the year this rate. SO. I have decided to drop Golbat and Pidgeotto (sorry guys, maybe in HeartGold) and focus on Charizard and Dragonair...I'll fill my team out with Articuno when I get to it. Realistically I don't need anything else to finish the game, and those two need around 180,000 EXP each to get to Level 55 (rough endgame level target, might go for 60 if I feel like it) and I just don't have the time or energy to needlessly grind. So this is a minimalist run! Blasted through Erika's Gym as expected...Charmeleon evolved. Team Rocket's Hideout wasn't too difficult either, but Lavender Tower...ugh, I should not have tried to use that place to train my Dratini, which had a weaksauce Shock Wave and Dragon Rage. Gastly are the absolute WORST things to grind off, did you know? If it's not Confuse Ray, it's Lick. Paralysis, Confusion, Spite on my Dragon Rage, Night Shade to reduce my HP by a fairly hefty amount all things considered, and...ugh. Why do they never use Curse when I want them to?! That was...not fun. Not fun at all. Next stop is Fuschia City for Strength and Surf for Charizard and Dragonair respectively - Strength isn't THAT bad really as an attack move - and then it'll be back to clear Team Rocket out of Saffron City probably. By which point I will hopefully be able to destroy Erika and Sabrina's Gyms without too much difficulty. Hopefully before the end of this month, but I make no promises... Stats: Trainer Name: Dawn Playtime: 9:21 Current Team Three times faster than the average Charizard - Level 37 Putting on Dragonairs - Level 33 Badges: 4/8 Game(s): Fire Red, HeartGold, Emerald/Alpha Sapphire (depends on my mood), Platinum, White 2, X, Ultra Moon, Shield Pokémon Type: Flying Single/Ultimate: Ultimate |
Ultimate Monotype Challenge - Fire Red Part #5 - The in-between bits Whoah boy. When did this become FUN again? So dropping everything except for Charizard and Dragonair was a fantastic idea - it turns out the game is MUCH less grindy and tedious when you only have 2 Pokemon to worry about, and those 2 Pokemon are 10+ levels above everything else. This afternoon I blasted down the cycling route, out of Fuscia City, and cleared out Silph Co. Both my Pokemon went up by over 10 levels apiece. Muahahaha. Still, this has been an eye-opening experience on just how relaxed the grind in modern Pokemon games has become - in 3 hours in XY I probably could have done this for six Pokemon. In 3 hours in Shield I could have a full team of level 100. I'm surprised I didn't notice it...but then, it HAS been quite a few years since I dived into a Gen III title. My interest in replaying usually begins at Gen IV...stops at Gen IV too. So yeah. I demolished Koga with little difficulty too...although Hypno are surprisingly resistant to Flamethrower. That was somewhat vexing. Turns out I'd somehow amassed 140k in money again from all these trainer battles, so I've bought 20 Ultra Balls and I'm going to try my hand at catching Zapdos, because why not. Then it'll be off to Seamfoam Islands for Articuno. Using two Legendary Birds is probably cheating in some rulebook somewhere, but not this rulebook here, and honestly they're more for variety than anything else - between the two of them, Charizard and Dragonair have pretty great coverage, and when Dragonair involves it'll probably be able to clear the E4 all by itself, especially if I level it up to 61 for Outrage. Which I might. It'll depend on how the levelling goes, since it'll probably be all I use between now and the Pokemon League...it has Shock Wave and Surf. I've got Blaine, Giovanni, and a lot of swimmers to take care of. Hoo boy. Stats: Trainer Name: Dawn Playtime: 12:31 Current Team Big Orange Dragon Thing - Level 51 Long Slimy(?)

Game(s): Fire Red, Soul Silver, Emerald, Pearl, Black, Y, Moon, Sword Pokémon Type: Flying Single/Ultimate: Ultimate Just started Fire Red. I didn't choose the Flying type on my own. I used a spin wheel to help randomize it for me to give even MORE of a challenge. This is my first time doing a Monotype challenge. Excited to see how it goes! Oct. 05/20 UPDATE: Took some time, but I got lucky and beat Brock with Butterfree. And by lucky I mean, he didn't use Rock Tomb! |

Ok so I think I might hate myself because instead of doing the sensible thing of doing white 2 like I said I would I decided “Screw you white, you can’t beat me!” So I started up white 2, beat the first gym leader, caught a male and a female venipede, brought them to the daycare and bred them to get a new fresh one for white, restarted white and beat progressed far enough to trade, traded random patrat for venipede names puera, also traded in my ducklett and patrat from previous run to serve as hm slaves and pignite to laugh at my suffering, grind a lot, beat 2nd gym with Pokémon occasionally listening but strong enough not to hinder me too much catch a lillipup for pick ups because I think I’ll need some luck for this, am now in pinwheel forest trying to progress without overlvling for fear of disobedience and try to beat gym so I can get a Pokémon that will listen every time.
Puera (Whirlipede) lvl 24 Hm slaves Patrat Ducklett I’ve also started a bunch of single runs for fun though I’m pretty far in most so not sure if I should even count them, I know I’m way too far to recount most of my adventures in nearly any of them; yellow psychic, emerald ground, omega ruby normal. All are at least past 4th gym or later. |
Managed to finish forest and reach the gym without lvling too much and fought burgh.
Surprisingly easy compared to last time since I had rollout and I even buffed it with defense curl in order to ensure maximum damage and I one shorted his whole team. After crying over how much time I lost from deleting rollout last run I recovered and proceeded to leave and fought Bianca and easily defeated her to finally evolve into scolipede. Now trying to rush forward to finally get a second Pokémon. I’m going to try updating more regularly after each gym but I may forget. Puera (Scolipede) lvl 30 Hm slaves Patrat (slowly lvling it for evolution for extra hms) Ducklett Pickup Lillipup Moral support/Debbie downer Pignite |
Been a while since I posted here, but I've recently resumed my mono dragon run. I'm currently preparing to take on the fourth gym in Y.

Ok I went to route 4 and defeated Cheren.
Reached nimbasa city and immediately moved past it to reach route 16 and started hunting for my second Pokémon. Found a decent Trubbish and named him Quis. Spent some time trolling around a lot of trainers I saved for this grind. Finally went back to nimbasa and surprisingly struggled against N. After a quite a few failed attempts I found a solid strategy and managed to beat him. Challenged the gym and didn’t have too much trouble beating it. Proceeded to route 5 and beat cheren... again. Reached and passed thru Driftveil. Reached route 6 and started hunting for my last mon. Found a decent foongus and named her Amanita. Am now grinding out Amanita with some trainers I saved for this. Puera (scolipede) lvl 32 Quis (trubish) lvl 31 Amanita (foongus) lvl 23 Hm slaves are unchanged as is the pickup dog though I have dropped pignite due to lack of room. The run is progressing well and much better than last time. I also am no longer reaching the disobedience threshold as easily as before so that’s no issue either. |
