I am fairly new to these forums, and I think we should get some people started on doing only runs.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, that is where you use only one pokemon (HM Slaves not included) throughout the whole game.

If anyone is interested on joining, please respond. The rules are basically the same as the mono-type challenge. Remember, keep us updated!!!

Well, I suppose with a lack of anything better to do, I'll do a Pachirisu only run. xD And not only that, I think I'll aim to get it done tonight. However, I'm cheating for all TMs. :o

(However, I'll be starting on Cycling Road, because I don't feel like erasing my file :P)

It's not that hard. I'll do it one day if I get another game because my Pearl is all I have and I'm not erasing that file. The best pokemon in D/P/Pt for it is Infernape/Electivire, due mainly to the fact they can be given movesets which pretty much hit everything for Super Effective hits. Especially a common competitive set for Electivire.

Lol. wonder if anyone would want to use a magikarp for this.
8 DD
certainly not me.
"magikarp use splash!'
I'd do it :) I'd just have to use another pokemon to hepl level it up to level 15 first of course.

Uhm interesting... I didn't know there was a term for it but yeah, I've done it , with my pearl using only Piplup, by the end of the E4 it was a level 74 Empoleon :p , the only help I recall using was the Palkia to take a hit in Cynthia's battle so I could revive Empoleon and strike again :D

My current sapphire file has a level 58 Swampert and I'm with Kyogre atm (SR-ing) where level 40-45 is a given hehe , Swampert has smacked down every gym by its own

I've done a couple of "something" only runs..
- Mudkip Only Run: Emerald
- Hoppip Only Run: Pearl

And I'm working on a recorded Houndour only run of emerald..
Also, I'm going to be starting a Larvitar only run when I finish my D/P Monotype run.

I did a ninjask-only run in Sapphire. I started with a nincada, though, and had to use defense curl and leech life to get past the first two gyms. X_X it took like 2 hours per gym. After he evolved it was AWESOME.

I will be using a Latias, but i will pokesav it if that is ok, then I might seek a challenge and do an only Toxicroak run >:D I will start making the Latias right now.... :) it will be holding a Soul Dew :)


and the reason im doing Latias instead of Latios, is bcauz Latias is kooler and better looking in shiny :)
Chinchou is easily the coolest Pokemon in the world, why? he is the only Water&Electric type (apart from Lanturn) and I'm unique because I like him.

Um.... what level is that Latias going to be? It'd be unfair if it was level 40. Make it 10 or under so it's not unfair, and make its IVs bleh. Most starters have bleh IVs the first time around, unless you SR.

I'm currently doing an only run with my Alakazam. It started off as a Psychic Monotype, which it still is, but it's also an only run. I've had to use my chingling several times for double battles, but only then. I'm almost to Solaceon the town that Cynthia's grandma lives in and my Alakazam is lvl 46 and already has 161 Sp. Attack and 144 Speed (Modest nature + some early EV training FTW!)
