FireRed Mono Ground Update #2

So I found myself with a lot of spare time this evening so I decided to progress through my challenge.
Got through mount moon with minimal effort. Peck and Double Kick on Nidoran with Rock Throw on Geodude made everything you find in there a breeze.
Get to Cerulean City do the nugget bridge and head to Bills crushing each trainer that dares stand in my way. Help Bill out and head back to the city.
Decided to try Misty since my Nidoran is now Nidorino and lvl 24.
Got whipped by Starmie.
Decided to head to Vermillion to get more training.
Destroy all the trainers before Vermillion with ease.
Get my Diglett from Diglett cave.
Clear out the S.S.Anne and get ready to beat surge.
Geodude and Diglett both evolve.
Realize I need the Cascade badge to use cut so back to Cerulean I go.
Defeat Misty by using Focus Energy and spamming Horn Attack with Nidorino.
Head back to Vermillion and destroy Surge.
Train some more on trainers to the right of Vermillion.
Currently headed through Diglett cave to get Flash and then it's on to Rock Tunnel

FireRed Mono Ground Update #3

Update
Spoiler:
Realized I didn't have anyone who could learn Flash. So I decided to catch a pikachu and force it to do my bidding. Went back to the Rock Tunnel pikachu in toe. Got through it, caught an Onyx on the way.
Got to celadon city feeling kind of nervous so I cleared out the rocket hideout. After I got the silph scope I decided I'd go back to lavender town.
Clear my way through the pokemon tower. Fought my rival and caught a cubone. Save Mr. Fuji and get my pokeflute.
Head back to celadon and beat Erika pretty soundly (though I was kind of over leveled).
Take out snorlax and make my way through the bike path.
Get to Fushia City and take on Koga. The battle was fairly easy but boy do I hate minimize.
Hit the Safari Zone tried to get Rhyhorn but failed. Did get Surf and the gold teeth then got my Strength HM.
At this point I'm breaking and thinking about my next gym leader Sabrina.

First Update: FireRed Normal Monotype
I just beat Gary in the optional rival battle on Route 22. I went in a little underleveled because I got tired of grinding, but it turned out fine! About to head into Viridian Forest.

Current Team:
Violet (Rattata) F Lv. 8
Penny (Pidgey) F Lv. 8
Serena (Spearow) F Lv. 5

I caught Serena on a whim. I haven't decided if I'm going to use her or not. I've never used the Spearow line. Any thoughts?

Psyduck Flying types.

Black 2
Important Events:
Spoiler:
- Train
- Get annoyed at life and ho grab some TMs
- Train
- Get rekt by Skyla
- Less than 9000 Audinos were harmed in the making of this Monotype.
- VS Skyla: Erufuun gets up a Leech Seed, Tailwind, and Light Screen before dying horribly to Swoobat. Kuru just misses the KO with X-Scissor and gets rekt. Shiki takes an Acrobatics and 2HKOes the damn Swoobat with Return. Swanna's FeatherDance harshly lowers a stat Flora doesn't use and it's Air Slash fails to KO or Flinch, so Flora gets kill credit. At this point, I learn she has a Skarmrattata. ugh. Flora sleeps it and Seeds it, then I switch to Shiki for... a lot less damage then I'd hoped. Luckily, Bounce crits and we out. Finally. I hate Flying types.
- Nothing of note happens until Route 11 except me ignoring Cobalion like an asshole
- On route 11 I find... Wait, that thing isn't banned in the Maison?
- One Master Ball later, I find my 6th team member, Virizion. Not nicknaming her due to the Japanese name being the same as the english one. (I know Virz is genderless, but I will continue to refer to her as a girl for reasons)
- Bla bla bla move stuff, bla bla bla training, bla bla bla Entralink abuse...

Team in the 7th Gym:
Later. Not now.

I caught Serena on a whim. I haven't decided if I'm going to use her or not. I've never used the Spearow line. Any thoughts?
My only Spearow usage was as an HM slave in LG that ended up beating the champion's Venusaur by abusing the fabulous Gen 3 AI. I had Fly and Venu's only attacking move was Solarbeam. Figure the rest out.

I started doing monotype runs before I saw this, so there's actually a lot of progress on this one, but I actually followed all the rules! We'll see if I'm brave enough to tackle an ultimate challenge later.

Crobat (Isabella lvl53)
Victreebel (Venus lvl53)
Tentacruel (Tsukimi lvl56)
Nidoking (Hamlet lvl55)
Venomoth (Natalia lvl56)

Badges: 16/16 All that's left is facing Red. And consequently a lot of grinding to be able to be in the same league as he is. Seriously...level 80-88? I'm only 30 levels lower than his Pikachu
I just re-opened up my shop specializing in HA and Rare Ball pokemon! Feel free to check it out!

I decided not to use Spearow mostly out of laziness. Ended up trading her for Farfetch'd so I would have someone to use cut. That's an awesome story though Ddrox13.

I got pretty far today. I beat Brock and Misty. Brock was trouble but I eventually whittled his Onyx's health down. Currently I'm about to enter Surge's Gym.

Starting my run with generation one and moving forward.
  • Chose Gaia the Bulbasuar for full poison immersion.
  • Wrecked rival and went on to Viridian and grabbed Oak's parcel.
  • Pokedex get. Let's go.
  • Scooped up Pimp the Nidoran Male on Route 22 and Shino the Weedle on Route 2 before facing Viridian Forest.
  • Did a little grinding in the woods and walked out with Shino evolving into Beedrill and Gaia learning vine whip.
  • Brock didn't stand a chance.
  • Moved eastward and cleared Route 3.
  • Caught FatBat the Zubat in Mount moon.
  • Grinded a bit and left with my new team consisting of a Beedrill, Ivysaur, Zubat, and Nidoking all level 17.
  • Grabbed NopeRope the Ekans on Route 4 and leveled him to match the team.
  • Healed up at Cerulean and went North to challenge the rival.
  • Wrecked his face and everybody else on the bridge.
  • Caught Maria the Oddish on route 4 and leveled her up while fighting my way to Bill's cottage.
  • Gaia and Maria swept through Misty and her trainers.
  • Going south to make my way to Vermilion city I encountered a Butterfree that reminded my how pain really felt. Thankfully Pimp proved his worth and was the only survivor of the battle.

Took another large break, this time I stopped in the Ice Path and about three months later I got the Rising Badge. As I expected, Clair wouldn't be too easy to beat because exp is spread thin and I have nothing effective against her.

-: I believe I had to fight the Team Rocket admins at Goldenrod before entering the Ice Path? I did that.
-: From what little I remember, the Houndoom was an incredible obstacle, the only reason I beat it was because of some luck regarding Berserker and Brick Break. I might have used some Rare Candies to attempt to get Berserker to outspeed Houndoom but ultimately luck won that battle.
-: Stopped at the Ice Path and later continued at the Ice Path.
-: Fought Claire. Minagawa and Berserker took care of Gyarados, Berserker and Takumi took care of the Dragonair's and Takechiyo was the true MVP against Kingdra by making it fall asleep allowing me to heal my team up after they had all been destroyed by Hydro Pump. Takumi ended up defeating Kingdra but Takechiyo really won it for me.
-: Completed that quiz and recieved the Rising Badge.
