[Challenge] The Monotype Challenge Returns

I had a whole fun post with my update but I accidentally closed the tab and restoring it didn't work so here's the gist.

I'm waiting for a link cable (which is on its way to me now) to get a Gengar so I can finish my FireRed run. In the mean time I decided to get Ruby (one of my personal favorites) out of the way. I forgot to take pictures of the first bit but basically I caught a level 2 Wurmple, by the most beautiful luck in the world it evolved into Cascoon. It took literally forever because the Wurmple line is terrible until it hits the final evolution so all my training (and mainly fainting) had to be done in the grass just outside Oldale. It was at some point when Cascoon was level 8 that I realized I hadn't taken pictures, ya know, like an idiot. So I decided I would start at the next major event. and here's the link to that thread https://imgur.com/gallery/BAIgHMv

I'll try to make my posts more interesting in the future but today has just been rough so losing my draft before really took a lot of the wind out of my sails.

Started this on the last forum, got up to right before E4, then stopped for a month because I hate grinding.
On that note, I also finished it. Shout out to MARIO Club for debug.

Part 6: Never Needed a Sash

Spoiler:

I did this from 9:30 - 10:30PM knowing I needed to get up less than 7 hours later to work out.
THE ELITE FOUR
I decided not to grind after a point, so I had 2 level 50 Pokemon, Masticar and Hyla. I don't want to do details of each fight, it was just kind of frustrating. EVERYTHING lived on extremely low HP. Them, me, didn't matter. I'll just do a quick summary.
Sidney - Easy as expected. I feel Masticar should have had Play Rough over Crunch though.
Phoebe - Kind of frustrating, as I couldn't get a switch to work.
Glacia - This E4 is actually creepy. Otherwise Glacia beat up Masticar, which was annoying, but so was much of the E4. Not too hard
Drake - Hardest, surprisingly. Salamence with Thunder Fang KOed both Melee and Conejito, leaving me with Hyla without much PP.

The Final Battle: Vs. Champion Steven
That Skarmory knew Toxic and was a 6HKO.
I lead with Masticar and max out on stockpile buffs. I then Baton Pass into Conejito, and use an X Attack and X Speed. I then began Spamming Waterfall. Fourteen turns later, the Skarmory was down, after too many Full Restores. Cradily came in, and that was dealt with using Superpower. Conejito then easily beat the Aggron, Claydol, and Armaldo. The Metagross actually wasn't that bad, much to my surprise, but required 2 sets of 4 Waterfalls to KO. I beat Steven. I was entered into the Hall Of Fame

But not truly was I done yet

The FINAL Final Battle: May's Route 103 Rematch
May's Pre-Battle Monologue actually gave me chills.
The Battle itself was a breath of fresh air from the E4. Hyla didn't do a good job, but managed to get the killing blow on the Mega Swampert. Most of her team went down easy. I was done.

Delta Episode? Maybe Later.

Gotcha!

Grats Radboy ! I like the stockpile baton pass moveset, it's well thought !
May's monologue is cute and gave me chills too, but anyway, grats on beating steven <3

Okay so I started my journey in pokemon black. I'm not taking pictures at the moment since that wasn't that significative for now. I picked Tepig because I'm normal mono and didn't want to fight an emboar in the late game, and as mentioned I caught a lillipup as my starter. Trained him a little, she's level 15 atm and got first badge. Nothing too much tbh, oh, forgot something tho. I learned that pick up can actually pick items used by the opponent in match ! In the gym my pokemon did have oran berry, I was facing another lillipup, my pokemon ate, then foe's pickup picked it, then mine picked it too, that was funny x)

I'll post pictures once I'll have my second pokemon :3

Yellow Bug Mono run... ballsy. Good luck, you'll need it.

Crystal update:
I took my time clearing out the rocket hideout and it was awful.
I finished with the hideout and headed to the gym to face Pryce.
Managed to finally evolve my R. Rocket into a crobat.
Wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be so I have my seventh badge now.
After getting a call from the professor I headed to the radio tower to clean up.
I basically destroyed team rocket with one hand behind my back.
My rival Rumba showed and actually almost beat me but the power of items was on my side.
I finished off the last remains of team rocket and was told by Eusine to go to tin tower.
I defeated the 3 sages and caught it (cause that's what it wanted me to do).
Decided Bret M. isn't pulling his weight and perma-benched him.
Now heading for Icy cave.

Current team:
Blues S. (Gengar) lvl 36
Matt S. (Arbok) lvl 31
Rikki R. (Nidoking) lvl 31
R. Rockett (Crobat) lvl 31

Um question in regards to pokemon that can't fight back when you get them like abra and ralts for psychic runs is it acceptable to switch train them til they learn an attack move?

I would assume so otherwise you cannot train them lol.

Switch training is totally acceptable for Pokémon who can't fight back. However, if the pokemon is the only one of your type submitted for the challenge, you may not challenge any gyms until the Pokémon in question can "fight back".

Loving this challenge, I've been meaning to do a grass monotype for a long time. Eevee is a surprisingly valuable assett to the team, due to its typing. I've never had an unevolved Eevee fulfill such an important role on a team. I've also never been this happy with not being able to get the desired eeveelution until late in the game, haha.

So we can bring our challenges from the old thread to this one? I think I'll do just that. Here's the link to my original signup.
It's an ultimate Poison challenge, and I believe I'm seven badges into X.
Also, is it allowed for me to use hacks like Sacred Gold/Storm Silver/Blaze Black/Volt White or not?

Ahh, I'd like to sign up again please! I was working on a Normal ultimate from the previous thread.

Crystal update:
Made it to blackthorn after making sure to grab the nevermeltice from icy cave.
Challenged Claire and beat her after a second try.
Went through dragons den pretty easily.
Not sure when I decided to do this but after realizing my nidoking's attack and special attack were nearly the same I bought the gma for thunder punch and ice punch and taught it to him.
Took my time clearing out the route up to victory road for training but it didn't take long.
Finished victory road.
Rumba met me at the exit and tried to spout his factually incorrect nonsense about love and friendship are useless to Pokémon which is why my crobat kicked his golbat's ass.
Immediately challenged league to gauge how much training I needed and got swept by will's first xatu... it wasn't great.
Trained everyone up to 40 and tried again making it all the way to lance (with the unstoppable power of items.
Ran out of items before lance and his aerodactyl outsped all my mons and used rock slide to flinch any that could do damage.
Sulked for 2 days.
Went on a hunt for some type enhancing items.
Obtained hard stone and black glasses.
Finished any remaining level ups from previous attempt.
Bought 30 hyper potions and 20 revives.
Swept will.
Super swept koga (he's not even that good of a poison type trainer anyway)
Swept Bruno.
Swept Karen.
Fought a super hard battle with some great poetic justice of flinching aerodactyl to death and beat lance.
Became champion... decided it wasn't enough and got on a boat.
Beat up local and stole his jewelry (beat lt. surge).
Went on a quest to fix the power plant.
Took photos to send to thread.

Oh boy it's been a long run so far (66 hours to reach and beat league) but we're more than halfway done now. I can hear Hoenn calling my name. I forgot to take a picture at the time so my pictures are team in Kanto I also made a pic showing me in saffron.
