Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

Update for Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Normal).

Finished Green. It was weird, I won't do it again.

Started on Cycling Road.

Trainer Card:



Crystal is next.

Team Norm:

Fairy the Clefable - L50
Moves: Strength, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Fire Blast

Twin the Dodrio - L48
Moves: Drill Peck, Fly, Fury Attack, Body Slam

Fang the Raticate - L49
Moves: Hyper Fang, Super Fang, Double-Edge, Dig

Pory the Porygon - L48
Moves: Psychic, Recover, Conversion, Tri Attack

Sleep the Snorlax - L48
Moves: Body Slam, Surf, Rest, Earthquake

Dux the Farfetch'd - L12
Slave Moves: Cut

Another part of my Poison UMC. I made my way trough the gym leaders, rockets and other people who wanted to challenge me (Who the poison master now Koga?) With my six beauties i made my way to trough the first part of the second part of my UMC.



My team:


Missile (Ariados), lv. 48
- Thief
- Constrict
- Leech life
- Fury swipes

Missile, (I also named my Beedril in Fire red that way in this challenge) the "Beedril replacement" It was not a bad pokémon in the beginning. I really can't whait until it learns Psychic or a strong move. He is by far my weakest pokémon in the Elite four.


Hades (Crobat), lv. 51
- Leech life
- Fly
- Bite
- Confuse ray

Hades. I want to kick myself. why i didn't used him before? His Bite saved me from Will and his Fly actually made the final blast at Dragonite. He is for sure one of my strongest pokémon


Jungle (Weepinbell), lv 46
- Razor leaf
- Acid
- Wrap
- Sleep powder

Jungle named after my Venusaur on the Fire red part of this challenge. And he is mostly the same. Not that strong but strong in the thing he does the best. Killing rocks, ground and waters.


Iris (Tentacruel) lv. 47
- Wrap
- Acid
- Surf
- Barrier

I LOVE HIM. Iris is by far my strongest member. Taking Hitmonchans Thunderpunches or what ever attack he fires at him like a champ. And then firing back strong Surfs or set up a Barrier.


King (Nidoking) lv. 45
- Iron tail
- Strength
- Double kick
- Fury attack

King... I expected him to be just as strong as his counterpart (Queen the Nidoqueen from guess what challenge) But he wasn't that good still pretty good



Smog (Weezing) lv. 51
- Explosion
- Sludge
- Rollout
- Destiny bond

Smog was the latest but still a bulky member. Rollout killed very irritating Golbats and other flyers while i just could explode when i was bored or was facing some thing unbeateble. Dragonites or something.

So, on to Kanto again. Let's get the other eight badges and Red's respect!

Click to expand...

I personally LOVE explosion.

Anyways, back to the hoenn leg, which my playing on ruby, of my fighting ultimate monotype challenge

beat those 2 no problem. i did norman's entire gym with just breloom

this one, was a lot hard. that 9 hp was the last 9 hp on my last guy... but i pulled it out, thanks to the fact breloom used leech seed before he was ko'd by altaria

i thought this one would be hard. then i remember fighting beats rock. Solrock was ko'd in the first turn with a shadow ball from medicham and a sky uppercut from breloom. psychic from... the other one whose name escapse me, lunatone? took out breloom, but it was quickly taken out by a shadow ball and double kick by blaziken.

This wasnt hard at all. mega drain and fighting moves for the ice types.

im currently a little lost in the ocean looking for ever grande. thats the part i HATE about hoenn, the oceanic navigation.

Current Team

Blaziken (lvl 43)
-Flamethrower
-Slash
-Earthquake
-Double Kick

Breloom (lvl 43)
-Headbutt
-Sky Uppercut
-Leech Seed
-Mega Drain

Medicham (lvl 41)
-Confusion
-Shadow Ball
-Hi Jump Kick
-Hidden Power (Poison? Seriously?)

HM Slaves
Zigzagoon (Cut, Rock Smash, Surf) (he has also picked up like 7 rare candies, its awesome)
Tropius (Strength, Fly, Flash)
staryu (Dive, Waterfall)

Update for Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Normal).

Started Crystal leg of Normal UMC.

My only holdover from Green is going to be Clefable. I hate that Girafarig isn't in Crystal, though. I chose to have Clefable over Girafarig, as Clefable can learn the elemental punches, and has the only decent special attack of the normal type so far.

Here we go. I just beat Morty:

Right now I am waiting for the morning to come so I can catch Miltank, and I will also get a Moon Stone from the south-east cavern in the Ruins of Alph. I have Surf now so I can do it. I will also be able to get another Return TM.

Team Norma:

Gerald the Pidgeotto, ♀ - L23
Moves: Quick Attack, Gust, Sand-Attack, Return

Fable the Clefairy, ♀ - L24 @ Quick Claw
Moves: Return, Ice Puch, Dizzy Punch, Sweet Kiss

Phil the Furret, ♂ - L27
Moves: Headbutt, Quick Attack, Defense Curl, Dig

Chikorita, ♂ - L6
Slave Moves: Flash, Cut

Psyduck, ♀ - L13
Slave Moves: Surf, Rock Smash

I made it though victory road, grinded my team up to level 50, thinking it was enough. And for sidney, pheobe and glacia it was, i walked through all of them. And them drake demolished me. I found my secret weapon however, the move relearner was able to teach my medicham ice punch. i'm gonna grind everyone up to level 55 and the go for E4 attempt #2.

Emerald Update

As you can see from my sig, I have most of Emerald behind me, but...

I AM STUCK AT LIZA & TATE >.<

Current Team:

Amber/Blaziken lvl 59
Careful
HP: 184 Atk: 163 Def: 101 SpAtk:128 SpDef: 103 Spd: 130
Slash | Sky Uppercut | Bulk up | Blaze Kick

Danson/Camrupt lvl 57
Naive
HP: 135 Atk: 135 Def: 93 SpAtk: 155 SpDef: 87 Spd: 61
Strength | Rock Slide | Eruption | Earthquake

Sunny/Magcargo lvl 57
Rash
HP: 134 Atk: 63 Def: 154 SpAtk: 117 SpDef: 94 Spd: 51
Amnesia | Rock Smash | Flametrower | Rock Slide

Luna/Vulpix lvl 57
Rash
HP: 115 Atk: 64 Def: 63 SpAtk: 73 SpDef: 79 Spd: 88
Quick Attack | Grudge | Safeguard | Flamethrower

:( This does not bode well... My team can just barely take Claydol (if they don't go down first to Earthquake or Psychic) out, but there's still Solrock, Lunatone, and Xatu. Any advice? I'm seriously thinking of speed training a hacked Charmander and/or Cyndaquil at this point. This is after my first loss and I had to train drastically as it is when they were in their high 40's. x(

Update for Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Normal).

Update #2 on Crystal.

Went from Ecruteak City to the start of the Radio Tower takeover.

I am about to beat Team Rocket for all time.

Team Norma:

Miss Tank the Miltank, ♀ - L32
Moves: Stomp, Milk Drink, Defense Curl, Tackle

Phil the Furret, ♂ - L32
Moves: Return, Quick Attack, Defense Curl, Dig

Gerald the Pidgeotto, ♀ - L33 @ Sharp Beak
Moves: Return, Fly, Wing Attack, Quick Attack

Fable the Clefairy, ♀ - L33 @ Magnet
Moves: Return, Ice Puch, Dizzy Punch, ThunderPunch

Chikorita, ♂ - L6 @ Gold Berry
Slave Moves: Flash, Cut

Psyduck, ♀ - L13 @ Quick Claw
Slave Moves: Surf, Strength, Whirlpool, Rock Smash

When are you going to evolve your Vulpix? It can't learn many moves after that, for being a NFE Pokemon...

In other news, I am still trying to beat the Elite Four round 2 on HeartGold. Feraligatrs are between 60 and 64, and Starmies are either 55 and 57 or 57 and 59. But I think I'm getting somewhere, and I've begun using Hyper Potions and Revives, because I realized that I have enough money to buy one Revive and 4 Hyper Potions if I beat Will and Koga, and lots more if I beat Bruno (also, I just started using the Amulet Coin so yay). I think I'm going to train my EQ Feraligatr until he can OHKO Will's Bronzong. That will probably be around 70 or something...

Would have evolved her already, but I don't have Dive, so I can't get those shards for a fire stone just yet. My focus at the moment is just trying to figure out how I'll survive the twins with all my fire types taking 2x and 4x damage.

Hmmm, I guess you should try to get Blaziken to get a Crit with Slash and train Vulpix/Camerupt enough til they're faster than Claydol and kill it with Eruption/Flamethrower or something. Good luck.

Move my UMC poison onto Hoenn I beated Red!

Pikachu: Kings Earthquake splashed the little rat
Espeon: It's a *****. Luckly with one sacrifice and Crobats Bite hax i defeated it.
Snorlax: BOOM Weezings explosion was enough to stop it doing damage
Venusaur: Some Flys killed it.
Blastoise: I hate blizzard. I had to restart my emulator a few times to sleep it and Razor leaf it down.
Charizard: Got Surfed over




My team:


Missile (Ariados), lv. 58
- Thief
- Giga drain
- Psychic
- Flash

Missile again, he got so much better when i teached him Giga drain and Psychic. Still not my strongest member but a good team mate.


Hades (Crobat), lv. 58
- Leech life
- Fly
- Bite
- Confuse ray

Hades. After lance i wanted to kick myself why i don't used him now i want to kill myself. Killing to of Red's pokémon. Espeon and Venusaur. He is a very got if not the best member of my team. You will see him back next part for sure


Jungle (Weepinbell), lv 60
- Razor leaf
- Acid
- Cut
- Sleep powder

Jungle He was one that killed Blastoise not the strongest member. But Sleep powder was very handy


Iris (Tentacruel) lv. 55
- Wrap
- Acid
- Surf
- Barrier

I STILL LOVE HIM. He's strong takes any attack like a champ. (was so handy VS Sabrina) and his surf is one of the strongest move in my team. Very good member. i now you are gonna see him coming back to


King (Nidoking) lv. 56
- Iron tail
- Strength
- Earthquake
- Surf

King... He killed pikachu and Earthquake killed Pikachu. Very strong after he got Earthquake and Surf

Onto Hoenn.

After i did the boring stuff and captured a second Wurmple. I grindend him and hoped to not again be a beautifly. But i had luck and he changed in a Cascoon and short after that in a Dustox. I beated Roxanne with thanks to missing and a X defend and a x special.

Team:


Missile (Dustox)
lv. 18 Quiet
- Tackle
- Confusion

Just a quick update from me on my Soulsilver run.

I didn't have a lot of time to play, mostly because I spent most of my time breeding. Nevertheless, managed to get together a cool team and I've got all 8 badges now.
Dragon girl wasn't any harder than any other trainer so far, mostly due to my new cool Mamoswine!

Team Soulsilver:


Bowser the Quagsire, Level 48
Surf, Earthquake, Slam, ForgotEnglishnameWeakGroundattack


Loverboy the Nidoking, Level 50
Earthpower(?), Attract, Doublekick, Thrash


Tinkerbell the Mamoswine, Level 47
Earthquake, Ice Fang, Dig, Ancient Power(?)


Sputnik the Rhyhorn, Level 1
Ice Fang, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Crunch


Random notes:

• I am now quite the breeder. I have about twenty level 1 Pokémon in Box 1.
• I'm thinking about removing at least one of the elemental fang attacks of Rhyhorn for a ground or rock move. Any ideas on which for which?
• I've never given much thought about natures and breeding moves, but it does add another fun and interesting layer to Pokémon. Go Nintendo!

That's it from the slow Granpa for now,
Cheers,
Peter

Well, I beat the E4 round 2. I think I'm just going to have to train on them until my team is all around the same level. Lance was much easier than I thought he would be. I figured all of his Pokemon would outspeed a Starmie 15-20 levels under them, but nobody except for Salamence did. I didn't OHKO Dragonite w/ Ice Beam, but he spammed Draco Meteor, so after I revived Starmie I took care of him. I'm thinking I'm going to get both Starmie to level 65 and Feraligatrs to whatever level they end at, since they'll be much higher (they're already 60-65). I'll probably have 2 more updates; one saying I'm ready for Red, and one saying I beat Red.

I will say this... This challenge had the single hardest single pokemon to conquer of any challenge i've ever done. Drake's Salamence. Like i said before, I walked through the first three of the elite four, taking hardly any damage, and with ice punch, drake's other pokemon weren't difficult. His salamance gave me so much grief. Was so happy when Blaziken took it out. Steven was pretty easy, the only annoying part was the fact i acidentally lead with breloom, and onto of that, i acidentally used giga drain, so he laid spikes and poisioned me. Other than that it was smooth sailing.

Final Team

Blaziken (lvl 56)
-Flamethrower
-Slash
-Earthquake
-Double Kick

Breloom (lvl 55)
-Headbutt
-Sky Uppercut
-Leech Seed
-Giga Drain

Medicham (lvl 57)
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Hi Jump Kick
-Ice Punch

HM Slaves
Zigzagoon (Cut, Rock Smash, Surf) (he has also picked up like 7 rare candies, its awesome)
Tropius (Strength, Fly, Flash)
staryu (Dive, Waterfall)

Onto Sinnoh... no more screen caps, since i dont have a ds emulator.

Heyo, folks! School is no longer an obstacle for me, so by the time I get this challenge updated, I plan to keep it that way.

I am still rather focused on competitive Pokémon battling, so I don't know if I'll be completing a challenge myself in the near future. But in the meantime, expect to see more of me around these parts. :P

Grass Monotype Challange (HeartGold) - Part 1

I will be doing a Grass Monotype Challange on HeartGold. So whenever possible, could someone add me to the list please.

Progress made so far:

* Started a new game, named my character Ethan, and picked Chikorita as my Starter Pokemon
* Did all of the usual stuff - be forced to go on the errand to pick up the "mystery" egg, get Pokedex etc.
* Trained Chikorita to level 10, so that it would stand a chance against the rival. It leant Poison Powder in the process.
* The move was used to great effect, alllowing me to KO Cyndaquil that much quicker.
* Named my Rival Silver, and trained Chikorita some more as I made my way up Routes 30 and 31.
* Along the way, fought and caught a Bellsprout. Used the good old bait-and-switch method to level Bell against the last trainer I fought.
* Reached Violet City, healed up at the Pokemon Centre, and headed to Sprout Tower.
* Used Bellsprout against the wild Gastly and Ratatta, and bait-and-switched in trainer battles.
* I finally made it to the head honcho of the place. Despite having just fought Silver, he was up to battling me.
* Poison Powder was extreamly useful in this battle, as that single-handedly killed him damn Hoothoot, which was otherwise dealing super-effective damage, when it wasn't putting my Pokemon to sleep. The two Bellsprout were defeated using my Bellsprout's Wrap attack.
* After the battle, he gave me TM70 Flash, and I warpped myself out of the tower to heal.
* Trained both my Pokemon in Sprout Tower until they both reached level 16, in preperation for fighting Falkner and his flunkies.

My Pokemon team and Stats thus far:

I'm going to do my best to set up a Ghost-Type challenge in Emerald on an emulator, as I'm doing a solo challenge on my Silver Cart right now. It's gonna take the back seat to my dratini though. Sableye is my second favorite pokemon in all of history though, so don't fret, I will give the occasional update.
Misdreavus, Bannette, Dusclops, Haunter, Shedinja, Sableye. This shall be fantastic.

So I got purdy good at beating the Elite Four with items. And I get some extra money from beating them after I buy back all the items I lost. Got about 5 levels to go for Stella/us. I think I might go for Red now.
