Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

- Volkner:



- After surfing to Victory Road, I did EV training first, then got Earthquake and taught it to Claw, taught Cross Poison to Shadow, and had Hawkeye forget Fly for Brave Bird.
- Made it through Victory Road and taught Stone Edge to Claw (forgot Strength).
- The final battle with Hal was next:



- Then it was time for the final Elite Four Challenge:


Team effort here. I still had Drifter in reserve I think.


Claw was the key here. Although no Ground moves can be used here, Sandstorm helped kill all of my team members (except Claw), and then Claw was able to get a Swords Dance, then OHKOed Hippowden with Earthquake for the win.

- Used all my Rare Candies here to raise my team a couple levels each.


Claw set up 3 Sword Dances on Rapidash, then swept. Drifblim's Aftermath killed Claw, leading to my first Elite Four win without a Pokemon out. Lol.


I reset here once out of frustration because Boss got critted with a Thunderbolt from Mr. Mime when he had several Defend Orders set up. The second time, I didn't bother with the setup, and contributions from Boss (Attack Order) and Hawkeye finishing off Bronzong with Close Combat led to an successful win.


During this battle, I set up Boss with 6 Defend Orders, and after taking out Milotic and Gastrodon, she ended up getting Garchomp and Lucario to Struggle to death with the help of a few PP restoring items on Boss and her Pressure ability. Boss almost got Spiritomb (who switched out earlier) as well, but Embargo forced Boss to Struggle to death as well, taking Spiritomb with her. Roserade took out Hawkeye with a Sludge Bomb OHKO, then Shadow Flew (lol) Roserade to death for the win!!!

Weary from his travels and the battles he'd fought; Acidity made his way home to Pallet Town. As he walked and his faithful pokemon slept, he remembered his journeys through the Kanto region. He remembered Brock's face when he, Acidity and Toxicity the pair of Nidoran he'd met on his tenth birthday deftly mopped the floor with his 'rock-hard pokemon'. He remembered when his and the Bulbasaur's, which would later become PoisonIvy, eyes connected. He remembered finding the Venonat which he had no idea could be found in the area on Cerulean Cape, and named him VenomWing, for his evolution.
Acidity trudged through the sleeping city of Viridian. He hadn't realised his conquest of the Elite 4 had taken so long, but he didn't mind. The city, even bathed in the faint glow of the moon, shone green. His mind was cast to Giovanni and Team Rocket. Would they really disband simply because he'd gotten in the way of their plans so many times? Acidity found it unlikely but he was the strongest trainer in Kanto now, he could send them packing if necessary.
The tired champion made his way through Route 1 uneventfully, avoiding disturbing the families of Rattata and Pidgey, his mind set on returning home and telling his mother all about his adventure from when he last spoke to her, and indeed of his new status... And who could forget; of the prospect of journeying to the Johto region, for an entirely new adventure...
