4. You must have a minimum of three viable team members, UNLESS:

  • You are playing Generation I, in which case a minimum of two is fine.
  • You cannot legally obtain that amount in the game you are playing.
  • For those playing on GSC/HGSS, if you cannot get three team members before going to Kanto, two can be used.
Going with more than three is encouraged, however, as is keeping your team somewhat balanced level-wise.

Honestly, it's not that hard to read the rules. It takes five minutes, max.

If i catch 2 pokemon which are blue and keep them in the party, If i happen not to use them it still counts as a Mono-Colour challenge. Also it stays as a solo challenge and it counts as a Mono-type challenge.

there is no rule saying that I have to use the pokemon I catch, Only that I have to have them with me.

Going back to what I say in the OP:

Note the use of the word viable. As in, three team members that you use throughout the challenge. A solo challenge doesn't use any other members except for the one. The only solo challenge that qualifies as a monocolor is a Snorlax run in RBY/FRLG, because it's the only black Pokemon in the Kanto Dex.

You can do a Totodile solo if you want, and he'd a pretty good one to do it with, but it won't count as a monocolor, sorry.

Same thing I asked on the Mono-type challenge, What is the rule for dupe clauses?
Click to expand...
Dupes are not encouraged at all, since you should be able to get the minimum on every color (except black in Kanto), although it's not like ou can't have dupes if you want - no more than one though, please. We like variety here :). I saw your question in the monotype thread about using Venusaur and 2 Victrebel for a combo green/grass mono, and that will work, although you don't really need to have a second Victreebel, since the minimum party number in Kanto is 2.

and congrats on finishing your blue challenge on Gold.
 
Sorry if you see this as a useless post but, how often should I post my updates on my challenge?
 
-- Update 2 --​

Fun update, caught two more members of my party and evolved three of them! Not a lot to say, just that the Silph Company was huge! Having two party members with Psychic has been pretty nifty, though.

Cheers for clearing that up and I didn't know whether the 2 part members applied for the Mono-typing aswell.

Ill start that one as soon as I finish my Blue Emerald :P

Third and final update! It's been real, Red, but we must part now. This was an excellent run of the game, and I loved my team in the end!

~-~ Team Synopsis ~-~​


MVP - Egghead
[PokeCommunity.com] Mono-Color Challenge

Solarbeam - Toxic
Psychic - Egg Bomb
Egghead was a spur of the moment choice for my team, since I didn't have a Grass type on my team. However, after evolution, Egghead's massive Special stat really made him the star player on my team, even being able to sweep Bruno's entire team without hassle. Solarbeam is a must have for any Exeggutor, so naturally once I got it I didn't even hesitate to replace Barrage. Solarbeam didn't see much use outside of Giovanni and Bruno, however. Toxic was only used once, but it made it possible to actually defeat Lance's Dragonite. Psychic was already on Sandman, but Egghead had the superior Special to use it better, and was Egghead's main attack in all battles. Egg Bomb was a nifty move, and really served as a basic attack, helping out occasionally, but was not the main feature of Egghead. Egghead really earned his place as MVP, and I would gladly use him again in another play-through.

LVP - Sgt. Sting
[PokeCommunity.com] Mono-Color Challenge

Poison Sting - Twineedle
Pin Missile - Rage
I expected Sgt. Sting to become obsolete, but he really served his use for the first 6 gyms much better than I expected he would. With Bug type's incredible power in the first generation, he was the wild card that took down Poison, Psychic, and Ghost types with ease. However, his low stats really shined once we got to the Elite Four, and I had counted on him to take out Agatha. However, he didn't do really anything for the last stretch of the game, and unfortunately got placed as LVP because of it. Poison Sting was never really used, and was simply a relic of his old Weedle days. Twineedle was Sgt. Sting's best attack, as it was both powerful, hit twice, and could poison. Because of this, Twineedle was Sgt. Sting's main attack, and was quite useful while Sgt. Sting was helpful. Pin Missile was Sgt. Sting's other Bug type move, and was used on bulkier Pokemon with more health, since it had the chance to hit 5 times. I had expected Rage to be useful, but being locked on one move with frail defenses did not help Sgt. Sting at all, and was rarely used. Sgt. Sting was extremely useful as an early Pokemon, but just became unusable as the late part of the game progressed. I could see using him again, but not as a permanent member of my team.

Wheeler
[PokeCommunity.com] Mono-Color Challenge

Thunderbolt - Mega Punch
Thunder Wave - Swift
Wheeler's high Speed and Attack made him a good sweeper, along with his usefulness on Water and Flying types, and was definitely a fun choice. He showed his use against Misty for obvious reasons, as well as Xerxes' Pidgeot and Gyarados. Since I was able to pick him up early, Wheeler became a key member of my team, and is highly recommended. Thunderbolt was Wheeler's main attack, and I abused it heavily. It made light work of any Pokemon not immune or resistant to it, and the paralysis was nice too. I taught Mega Punch on a whim, since he could learn it, and it was a good choice, able to 2HKO and occasionally OHKO other Pokemon with ease before they could attack. Thunder Wave and Swift just came naturally to Pikachu, and were only ever used as last resort moves. Wheeler made an excellent member of my team, and I would gladly use him again, perhaps later in the challenge.

Sandman
[PokeCommunity.com] Mono-Color Challenge

Body Slam - Hypnosis
Psychic - Metronome
Sandman was my main special attacking force up until I got Egghead, and I expected him to be the MVP while I used him. His Special stat made him ultimately valuable, and his attacks complimented him nicely. Body Slam was surprisingly useful, and it's Paralysis effect activated quite often. I found myself using Body Slam a lot, sometimes more than Psychic, and was a staple of the team. Hypnosis was only used in tough fights when I needed to heal my Pokemon, but it definitely served its use in the Champion battle. Psychic was Sandman's main attack, and took down most Pokemon with relative ease. Metronome was an attack that I just added at random, hoping it would help at some point, though the biggest thing it ever did was cause Sandman to use Selfdestruct, which was not as fun as it might sound. Even after catching Egghead, Sandman's early evolution made him of the utmost use to my team, and helped me fly through the game.

Rarity
[PokeCommunity.com] Mono-Color Challenge

Fire Blast - Tail Whip
Stomp - Growl
Rarity was a late game catch, and I didn't expect to get too much use from her, but she showed off some impressive skills. She rivaled Wheeler with her Speed and Attack, and while Stomp was weaker than Mega Punch, its Flinch ability activated at good times, making Rarity a good attacker. Fire Blast was a useful move for closing the gap in type coverage I had, and was useful against Lorelei and Xerxes, as well as being used other times. Fire Blast's Burn status was also quite useful, cutting the opponent's Attack. Tail Whip and Growl were just attacks that I caught Rarity with, and never got rid of. Stomp was Rarity's main attack, and was a lot of fun when it worked right, causing the opponent to flinch. Rarity was a good member of the team for coming in so late, and I wish I could have caught her earlier for more use. I will definitely pick up another Ponyta in the future for prolonged use.​

Alright, well Red is now finished! Onwards to Crystal!

-- End of Update 3 --​

------------------

-- Update 1 --​

Started Crystal and picked up the first four members of my team and my first four badges! Gotta keep going though...

Platinum's finished. I had fun with this challenge, even though it was done very quickly. I didn't really have a hard time anywhere, because I guess I had pretty powerful Pokémon. I used a Pachirisu from Floaroma to Pastoria, and then I dropped it. It was never meant to stay permanently, but it found its uses all the way until Pastoria.

Got the maingame of Pokémon White complete. I started off by hacking in a Cubchoo, and added Foongus, Frillish and Larvesta as I progressed through the game. It was a pretty easy ride all the way through, because I had a pretty well-rounded team. But I have a feeling the postgame will be a bit more challenging.
