2nd Gen Gold/Silver/Crystal Monotype Challenge

@ekriptor: why dont you just use onix and scyther till you get to ecruteak, and get metal coats from wild magnemites (they've 5% chance to hold one, you can combine finding ~40 magnemites with training against all those raticates and miltanks and so you dont have to trade to get the metal coats, you get them on your own) and then trading should be allowed, it won't be much different from trading a kadabra/graveler/etc so it evolves and trading it back
 
Final team:

Lanturn Level 49 *Team favorite*
Spark
Surf
Take Down
Thunder Wave

Jolteon Level 47

Defeated Janine (not that hard)
Defeated Blue (meh, easy even though my pokemon were a few levels under his)

MONOTYPE CHALLENGE - POISON

Started off with a Totodile but quickly caught a Zubat.

Gastly was next to be caught (night time)

Was okay in Bellsprout Tower, Zubat can't do much at the moment so it was mainly Gastly

Went to the Flying Type Gym, was very tricky but I sent them to sleep with Gastly and used Bellsprout and Zubat to take them down. I used a lot of potions, spending all my money. First Gym complete!
