Defeated Red , got through Kanto , slaughtering ANYTHING with the Emulator's FastForwards ! Ended up in 154 Hours of FastForwards ! After that super hardb battle with Red , I seen the credits ! So nice made !

How I beat Pikachu :

Out of impatience , I left Destroyer against Pikachu (b4 it was Venusaur and Shell fainted in a SolarBeam ) . He used Thunder , killed it and sent Dampie . That noob used Thunder again , I used Earthquake ..... red life = FullRestore . Ooops . He just kept with Electric moves and eventually after a lot of Full Restoress killed it !!

That's IT ! I'll pick a Monocolour challenge ! Also mondays suck , can ye put me on winner list ?

 

[mondays suck]

How did you get your Pokemon that high, for me it took already ages to level a Jumpluff from 58 to 63 with 4000% speed... xD

But i finally caught a Jynx, now, so i can finally get rid of Delibird. Caught it with Master Ball because i'm pretty sure i would have killed it if i'd attack it.

 

[560cool.]

In my PC it made 7000 % Speed....
Dunno how P.S : FINALLLY i FINISHED my first monotype ! The honor to be in the winner list....

Also my egg hatched... into a Krabby ! Maybe cuz i HAD A WATER MONOTYPE ??

 

[FLORYN]

congratulations for wins. ****...you finished before me

 

[Fire Wolf]

I'm doing with Water.........

With me, a friend of mine is also doing with water. I'll give updates for him too.

 

[Hamilton]

i finished on the other thread with Grass :)
so i guess when i have some free time, i'll go with fire when i feel like it
(someone should make an HGSS monotype challenge- i'd be all over that)

 

[560cool.]

Well , this thread really deserves a generous.... :

_-BUMP-_

 

[rndm.]

I started a Poison run a while ago in Crystal. Here's my team: (Currently at Mahogany's Rocket hideout, been to Cianwood already) (Posting this on my Wii, no piccies :( )

Cold. (Tentacruel) Lv. 27
-Surf
-Supersonic
-Constrict
-Acid

Vamp (Golbat) Lv. 28
-Leech Life
-Supersonic
-Bite
-Confuse Ray

Spook (Haunter) Lv. 27 (Can't trade...)
-Hypnosis
-Shadow Ball
-Nightmare
-Night Shade

Boss (Nidoking) Lv. 28
-Trash
-Poison Sting
-Strength
-Double Kick

Zew (Koffing) Lv. 28
-Poison Gas
-Tackle
-Sludge
-Selfdestruct

My HM slave will be Suicune. (Cut, Waterfall, Whirlpool, Rock Smash) Golbat gets fly when it evolves...

 

[mondays suck]

I finally continued a bit now. Bred a Smoochum with the Jynx i caught (Smoochum learns Psychic by level up and Jynx apparently doesnt). Currently trying to train Smoochum, it's about Lv.10 now.

 

[FireRed Supergiant]

this looks like so much fun! i was about to restart silver and build a psychic team, so this should be perfect. only drawback is i wanted to use lugia and exeggutor. rules exclude legendaries and i was gonna trade a leaf stone to evolve exeggcute, but that's out so i'll just wait to do that until kanto.

but yeah, put me down for a psychic run!

EDIT: First update, didn't want to double post
--Chose Cyndaquil as starter
Retrieved egg, defeated rival, delivered egg
Arrived in Violet City, proceeded to Ruins of Alph
Caught A-shaped Unown, deposited Cyndaquil
Determined Unown-A to have Fighting-type hidden power
Caught B-shaped Unown
Determined Unown-B to have Rock-type hidden power (PERFECT for first two gyms)
Cleared Sprout Tower
Defeated Gym #1: Falkner
Received EGG from Elm's aide
Proceeded to entrance at Union Cave


Current Party:
1. Unown-A: Level 9 (Hidden Power = Fighting)
2. Unown-B: Level 11 (Hidden Power = Rock)
3. Egg


I've never used Unown in my party before. I love the HP type distribution I got, since the only existing type combination found in Gen 2 games which resists both is Ground/Poison, and I won't be facing any Nidoking/Nidoqueen before I get my Slowpoke at the well.

Bedtime

 

[mondays suck]

I beat the rest of the game only using Lapras because it covers pretty much anything and Sneasel, which covers two important things Lapras doesnt: Electric and Psychic. And now, it's...

[FireRed Supergiant]

LONG POST ahead. Would have posted each as its own post, but not enough activity in this thread so it would have been me posting several times in a row or editing the same post multiple times. Wrote down stuff in MS Word, copied it to here. One spoiler section is one main segment of my run.

• Drowzee: L22 Drowzee (Hypnosis, Confusion, Pound, Disable)
• Xatu: L25 Xatu (Fly, Leer, Night Shade, Teleport)

Yup, this was a one-man show. It's great because I can still keep recover and use 2 of the three remaining slots for elemental punches. I keep a few spares on hand, to adjust which 2 he knows as the situation demands.

Update 2: SS Aqua through Kanto Power Plant

Spoiler:

Took SS Aqua to Vermillion city
Went north to Cerulean to talk to Bill's grandfather
Had to go catch Lickitung (everstone), Oddish (leaf), and Staryu (water)
Caught Exeggcute
Evolved Staryu (Tsunami) and Exeggcute (Krebbs)
Taught Surf to Tsunami, Strength to Krebbs
Beat Lt. Surge
Beat Sabrina, also acquired TM29 from Mr. Psychic
Beat Erika, taught Giga Drain to Krebbs
Went to power plant, back to Cerulean, retrieved machine part, fixed generator
Beat Misty
Went back to Johto, bought TM29 (psychic)
Taught psychic to Tsunami and Krebbs, taught return to Tsunami

Current Party

• Maestro: L54 Alakazam (Psychic, Ice Punch, Thunderpunch, Recover)
• Tsunami: L28 Starmie (Psychic, Return, Surf, Recover)
• Krebbs: L26 Exeggutor (Psychic, Strength, Giga Drain, Hypnosis)
• Unown-A: L25 Unown (Fighting-type hidden power)
• Unown-B: L28 Unown (Rock-type hidden power)
• Xatu: L25 Xatu (Fly, Leer, Night Shade, Teleport)

Update 3: EXPN Card through Mt. Silver

Spoiler:

Back to Johto, flew to Lavender Town, got EXPN Card
Caught Snorlax near Diglett's Cave
Went to Pewter City, Beat Brock
Went south to Cinnabar Island, talked to Blue
Went to Seafoam Islands, beat Blaine
Went to Fuschia City, beat Janine
Flew to Viridian City, beat Blue
Talked to Professor Oak, got access to Mt. Silver
Taught Flash to Xatu
Trained Tsunami and Krebbs up to reasonable levels at Mt. Silver

Current Party

• Maestro: L60 Alakazam (Psychic, Ice Punch, Thunderpunch, Recover)
• Tsunami: L54 Starmie (Psychic, Return, Surf, Recover)
• Krebbs: L56 Exeggutor (Psychic, Strength, Giga Drain, Hypnosis)
• Unown-A: L25 Unown (Fighting-type hidden power)
• Unown-B: L28 Unown (Rock-type hidden power)
• Xatu: L25 Xatu (Fly, Leer, Night Shade, Flash)

More training yet to come. I plan to delete Krebbs's strength to trade it for rollout.
30/60/120/240/480 is way better than 80/80/80/80/80 over 5 turns. Red's final-form starters will be pretty easy since Maestro has Psychic and ThunderPunch. I'll keep his Recover and then give him one other move via TM. I'm thinking either Shadow Ball for Espeon or Attract for Snorlax.

Update 4: Final Battle with Red

Spoiler:

After a few failures trying to defeat Red, I decided to overhaul Krebbs's moveset. Eliminated Giga Drain in favor of Curse and made him hold PrzCureBerry. Also, made Maestro hold a Magnet.

--Opened with Krebbs vs Pikachu, put it to sleep and started away with a few applications of Curse. Had to put Pikachu back to sleep, then used a Hyper Potion and started with Rollout. Missed once, had to do it again. Pikachu tried Charm but Krebbs is a dude, too, so no dice (THANK GOD I didn't catch Krebbs as a female, that could have derailed everything). Pikachu went down on turn #4.
--Red sent out Charizard next. Krebbs tried to keep rolling out, so he died. Switched in Tsunami, who took the hits like a champ while I revived Krebbs. Three Surfs and Charizard was down.
--Tsunami wasn't too useful against Espeon, so I changed back to Krebbs. He took a lot of Swifts from Espeon, but his Rollout took out the cat in the end.
--Snorlax was a big pain, but strategy paid off. Kept Krebbs in the battle, maxed out the applications of Curse so his attack and defense were at maximum. Snorlax only had two attacks, both physical, and his Amnesia does nothing to slow down Rollout.
--Venusaur in. Hyper Potion for Krebbs, then Rollout.
--Then I had Krebbs in there against Blastoise, but Blizzard knocked him out with a critical hit on the first turn. NOOOOO!! Switched in Maestro. A Thunder Punch took Blastoise down to just below half health, and Blastoise used Rain Dance (powering up for Surf, but too late). One more Thunder Punch and WIN!


CHALLENGE COMPLETED

Never used Rollout hardly at all before this run, but combined with Curse against the right opponents (weak offensively to grass/psychic and/or specializing in physical moves so I had time to power up) it got me through a lot of opponents which would have otherwise been impossible since my team focused mostly on special attack, as is common with Psychic types.

I'm also surprised at how little I used Maestro in the final battle compared to the rest of the game. Krebbs took down 4 out of 6 and I only started using him after the E4.

Final Party

• Maestro: L65 Alakazam (Psychic, Ice Punch, Thunderpunch, Recover)
• Tsunami: L67 Starmie (Psychic, Return, Surf, Recover)
• Krebbs: L63 Exeggutor (Psychic, Rollout, Curse, Hypnosis)

Slaves: Xatu (Fly, Flash), extra Staryu (Waterfall, Whirlpool), Cyndaquil (Cut)



I'm thinking about starting another one in a little while, maybe ground (Nido's, Donphan, Steelix), bug (never ever used a bug seriously but Heracross looks SWEET) or electric (Magneton/Lanturn/Ampharos sounds like fun). Does anyone have a recommendation? Maybe a seldom-used pokemon you trained for a while and fell in love with?

 

[mondays suck]

Congtatulations for finishing to both of you!

Well, i'm using Girafarig in my Normal Ultimate Monotype Challenge and i must say, that thing is a beast. But since you just finished a Psychic run, you probably won't want to use Girafarig now...
Can't think of any other one right now, i'm too tired
