[Challenge] Mono-Color Challenge

[Pendraflare]

Ruby Red Mono-Color Challenge - Completed

I started this right after I completed Fire Red, got three badges in one night and came back to it after a while. I beat Flannery on Wednesday night, then Thursday I got the last four badges and yesterday I finished training, so today I took on the league. Once again, as with Y and Fire Red, I was refusing to use any healing items in battle and was on the Set battle style.

Spoiler:

First we'll talk about the Gym Leaders.

Roxanne: All I had were Rustle (Combusken) and Swirly (Wurmple). Geodude was a cinch, and Nosepass went down in three turns of Double Kick, when she healed before the second.
MVP: Rustle, obviously.

Brawly: Both my main Pokémon were Level 18. Machop was barely a 3HKO from Peck from Minnow (Goldeen), and I had 2 HP left because of a crit. Makuhita was hit hard before it killed Minnow, but Rustle finished him with two hits of Double Kick.
MVP: Minnow.

Wattson: I had Rustle and Highweed at Level 23, Minnow at Level 21 and two death fodders. Magnemite was busted in one turn from two hits of Double Kick. When Voltorb came in, I sacrificed Trout as death fodder so I could bring in Highweed. He paralyzed me with Spark, but my Chesto Berry helped. I put him to sleep. Two hits of Bullet Seed did 1/4. Twice in a row. He woke up and then blew up. Magneton killed Highweed, but I brought in Rustle and managed to kill him with two turns of Double Kick.
MVP: Rustle I guess.

Flannery: My team was all around Level 26. Her two Slugma were easy kills for Eclipse (Solrock). When Torkoal came out, Minnow I pretty much had to let die since she paralyzed me with Body Slam. I then brought in Caldera, and got in two hits of Magnitude (6 and 7) to get her just below half before she killed me. I had Rustle weaken her a bit with some Embers, then she healed to full. Highweed put her to sleep, then I brought in Eclipse again. I missed with Rock Throw but made it up with a critical hit as she continued to snooze, then won.
MVP: Highweed? For putting her to sleep and saving Eclipse.

Norman: My entire team was 30. His first Slaking hit Highweed big with Facade, while I missed with Stun Spore first turn then put it to sleep. I managed to hit him with Stun Spore on the very turn he woke up. When Highweed died, he was at around 37% health, so Rustle just finished him off. Vigoroth did less than half to me with Facade, allowing me to just barely survive two hits and kill him with two turns of Double Kick. His second Slaking, I switched in Smugmug (Slugma), as he used Focus Punch and killed it in one hit, but Flame Body activated and burned him. I then had Caldera roughen him up a bit with Growl, and he still hit rather hard, but I lived. He had half his health left, and I got Magnitude 9 AND a critical hit, then after he loafed he died to burn damage.
MVP: There was no one MVP, everyone did good here, except Minnow and Eclipse who didn't get any screentime.

Winona: My entire team was 32/33. Swellow and Skarmory were OHKO'd by Soundwave (Electrode)'s Thunderbolt. I missed with Screech against Altaria, then I brought in Eclipse and avoided her Earthquake. Thankfully, Rock Throw was a 2HKO. I had to switch in Soundwave again, but she used Supersonic, so I had to go back to Eclipse, although I got in Soundwave again on a Protect and killed her.
MVP: Soundwave, obviously. Eclipse was co-MVP for beating Altaria.

Tate and Liza: My entire team was 37. They were faster than Fisticuffs (Medicham) and Cluster (Crawdaunt), and put the latter to sleep, but the former did half to Solrock with Shadow Ball. I switched out Cluster for Highweed, who took Solarbeam for no damage at all. Lunatone then used Calm Mind before Solrock was downed. Highweed was OHKO'd by +1 Psychic while Shadow Ball did a little more to Lunatone than it did to Solrock. Before I could finish them, Lunatone hit Fisticuffs with Hypnosis. They healed, and Double Kick wasn't doing much at all. When it killed Rustle, it was around 1/3 health. But then Fisticuffs woke up and killed it with Shadow Ball, getting the critical hit on the last turn, much to my infuriation.
MVP: I guess Fisticuffs for his strong Shadow Ball.

Wallace: My entire team was Level 40. Luvdisc was OHKO'd by Soundwave's Thunderbolt. After that, Whiscash came out. I brought in Highweed, as his Earthquake did around 40% of my health. He was faster and used Amnesia, but I still hit very hard with Giga Drain. He healed, then I killed him with Bullet Seed and had 2/3 my health left. Next was Sealeo. I hit with Sleep Powder and set up Sunny Day afterward, as Giga Drain knocked him low. Aurora Beam did a bit less than half, then I killed him. He then went for Milotic. Yowza! Giga Drain did a bit less than half, as he used Ice Beam for 2/3 my health. Thankfully I hit with Sleep Powder. As he snoozed I used Sunny Day again, then softened him up with Bullet Seed as to keep him from healing. He woke up though, and killed me with Ice Beam. Just for that, I brought in Fisticuffs, and he was faster than her as well, but Ice Beam did less than half and I killed him with Hi Jump Kick. Lastly was Seaking, who took over half from Hi Jump Kick but used Rain Dance, and he used Water Pulse and confused me, but I hit through confusion and killed him.
MVP: I guess Highweed?

For the Elite Four, my entire team was 51, and I traded Cluster over to my Fire Red version so she could learn Crunch.

Sidney: I started with Caldera to absorb Mightyena's Intimidate. He began with Crunch and lowered my Special Defense right off the bat, but Fire Blast was an OHKO. For Sharpedo, I switched out to Highweed, took a Surf easily, avoided his Swagger and killed him with Giga Drain. When Shiftry came out, I brought in Rustle as he used Double Team, I missed Flamethrower and he used it again but I hit next turn to kill him. Absol and Cacturne were OHKO'd by (two hits of) Double Kick and Flamethrower respectively.
MVP: Rustle

Phoebe: Her first Dusclops was OHKO'd by BlackGlasses boosted Crunch. Sableye was 2HKO'd by Surf, taking little damage from Shadow Ball along the way. She wasted a Full Restore there. Both her Banette were faster and the first lowered my Special Defense with Shadow Ball, but Crunch was an OHKO on both. Her second Dusclops wasn't quite OHKO'd by Crunch, but her Sitrus Berry knocked her above the healing point and I killed her.
MVP: Cluster

Glacia: Her first Glalie was OHKO'd by Rustle's Flamethrower. Her first Sealeo wasn't OHKO'd by Brick Break, but she used Hail, then healed, which gave me a chance to use Bulk Up. I then OHKO'd everything else of hers with Brick Break (he grew to Level 52 after killing her second Sealeo).
MVP: Rustle

Drake: I started with Eclipse as he began with Shelgon. I used Cosmic Power on his Protect, and he tried to use it again but that didn't work. Rock Slide (Hard Stone boosted) did less than half, though. I used it again, but he used Rock Tomb and lowered my Speed. I was still faster and killed him with Rock Slide.
After that was Salamence, who used Crunch, which did a bit below half my remaining health, but thanks to Intimidate I did less than half. I survived his next Crunch with 3 HP, and after Rock Slide his Sitrus Berry knocked him above where he'd heal. I brought in Caldera, and he used Dragon Claw for literally just above half my health before I killed him. Then came one of his Flygon, which straight up killed me with Dig. I brought in Fisticuffs, and he used Sandstorm. Ice Punch did more than enough for a 2HKO, but I was left with a bit over half when Altaria came out. For that, he used Dragonbreath and paralyzed me as my Ice Punch did half on the dot. He then killed me with Take Down. I killed him with Cluster's Ice Beam. His last Flygon was no problem either. I had the Quick Claw, which certainly helped.
MVP: Not sure, I guess Cluster for the Quick Claw activations, and Eclipse was co-MVP.

I gave Overheat to Rustle before entering Steven's room, and adjusted my TMs a bit more. Here we go!

Champion Steven: Skarmory was OHKO'd by Rustle's Overheat. And I grew to Level 53 afterward haha.
Aggron wasn't quite OHKO'd by Brick Break, and he used Earthquake. First time he killed me in one hit with a critical, so I immediately reset because I wanted Overheat for Metagross. Second time, I lived with less than 2/3 my health and used Bulk Up as he healed, then killed him.
He then used Metagross. My Special Attack was halved, so I had to let someone die. Caldera was OHKO'd with a critical hit Psychic (seriously?!). I brought in Rustle again and OHKO'd him with a Blaze boosted Overheat.
Then was Armaldo. I brought in Highweed, as he used Water Pulse for virtually no damage whatsoever. He then used Aerial Ace and hit rather hard, leaving me below half, but I used Sunny Day. (A Miracle Seed boosted) Giga Drain did less than half but allowed me to survive another Aerial Ace with 10 HP, and thus kill him with SolarBeam next turn.
After that was Claydol, ugh. SolarBeam was a straight up OHKO though, which was awesome.
Last was Cradily. SolarBeam did half before he killed me with Sludge Bomb. I brought in Rustle and killed him with Brick Break, ending the battle. And I grew to Level 54, haha.
MVP: Rustle, but Highweed was definitely co-MVP for surviving Aerial Ace after Giga Drain and then killing Claydol in one hit.

So here was my final team:

Spoiler:

Nature: Bashful
Obtained at: Mt. Pyre
Moves: Hi Jump Kick, Hyper Beam, Reflect, Shadow Ball (had Ice Punch over Hyper Beam before Steven)

Nature: Rash
Ability: Shell Armor
Obtained at: Petalburg City
Moves: Crunch, Hyper Beam, Surf, Swords Dance (had Ice Beam over Hyper Beam against Drake)

Nature: Gentle
Obtained at: Meteor Falls
Moves: Cosmic Power, Explosion, Reflect, Rock Slide (had Light Screen over Reflect before Steven)

Nature: Quirky
Obtained at: Route 112
Moves: Earthquake, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Rock Slide

Nature: Modest
Obtained at: Route 110
Moves: Giga Drain, Sleep Powder, SolarBeam, Sunny Day

Nature: Hasty
Obtained at: Route 101
Moves: Brick Break, Bulk Up, Flamethrower, Overheat (had Blaze Kick over Overheat before Steven)

Other Pokémon I used:

(F) "Minnow", Level 30

"Soundwave", Level 40

(F) "Smugmug", Level 30

Final playing time: 22:58 - There were at least 3 1/2 hours in between Flannery and Norman. When I made it through Victory Road I had 19 hours. Then, three hours went into final training, and I had 24 Rare Candies because of Pickup. 20 minutes after that were backtracking and getting TMs.

I'd say overall I definitely enjoyed Fire Red more, but this one had some fun fights, Norman being my favorite battle in the game. I'll probably get started on White soon.

The Manly Misadventure: Part 0.2
__________

• Went and grinded The Wiggs up to Marley's level. Decided to refrain from evolving her until she learns Double Edge.
• Reached Ecruteak City. Upon grinding some more, just so happened to come across a wild Miltank. Caught it ofc. Name: Double L. (Well, I minimized my emulator while on the name screen to write a message to my friend and when I opened it up again she was named LL. Guess I forgot that the window's still running when inactive. For convenience's sake, went back to the Name Rater and named her Double L) Stupid I know.
• Grinded Double L up a lot before heading to the gym. Sudden realization: Morty has ghosts and the majority of my Pokemon are Normal typed.
• I go back to Goldenrod City and pick up TMs Ice Punch and Fire Punch; teach them to Wiggs and Double L respectively.
• Obliterated Morty who could barely even touch my Normals.
• Had a change of heart. I decided that considering the low amount of possible team members in the Johto area, I should go back and at least get Porygon.
• HOURS OF GAMBLING
• Heaved a sigh of relief as Porygon joined my team. Name: Mack.
• After grinding Double L up to my team's level, went to the Burned Tower to train Mack. There, I met the game's ROM hacker Mateo. He's a bro. We went and had some coffee before parting ways. Also I beat him in a Pokemon battle.
• Now let's see who there is to beat up here...
• 
• k no im done
• Marley tried to evolve abandon her manliness. The B button knows better.
• Went ahead to Olivine City, training against trainers along the way, and went up the Lighthouse, triggering the event with Amphy. Currently on the way to Cianwood City, saved in the middle of the ocean.
• On a side note, I have been carrying the HM Slaves Totodile and Growlithe around with me for Surf and Flame Ball.

With the downtime on my Heart Gold Wedlocke, guess i'll hop into the next leg of my Ultimate here.

White Red Mono-Color Challenge - Update #1

Spoiler:

So I started the game, chose the girl and named her Autumn. I chose Tepig as my starter, then beat Cheren and Bianca. Once I got to Juniper's lab I named it Rollerbite. I then went up Route 1 into Accumula Town, where I beat N's Purrloin without too much of a hassle. Then on Route 2, the trainers were high leveled but none of them were hard, Bianca was easy too. And I was starting to get a bit over-leveled (which is what happens when you only have one Pokémon).

Once I arrived in Striation City, I beat Cheren, but he was a bit rough considering his Oshawott had Water Gun, and Purrloin used Growl but I knocked it low with a critical hit Tackle. In the Dreamyard, after beating Youngster Joey and his not Rattata, I got Pansage, but I can't use it so it'll just be a slave. I beat the trainers in the Striation Gym.

I tried to take on Cress at Level 14, but failed because Work Up and a super-effective move don't go together well, so I had to grind to Level 15 to learn Flame Charge (which sucked). Second try I still failed because he was smart enough to keep using Water Gun…and I forgot to put on the Oran Berry.

Third try, all Lillipup did was use Work Up, and I got him to waste his Potion on it, and when Panpour came out he used Work Up on the second turn, and I lived his +1 Water Gun with 4 HP and then killed him. I did not use any bag items.

After that I got HM01 for Cut from Fennel. I'll go into the Dreamyard next time.

Team Autumn:

Spoiler:

So yeah, that's it for now.

Good news! My Pawniard just learned Night Slash! It's gonna be a SLASH!

The Manly Misadventure: Part 0.3
__________

• So after reaching Cianwood, tried to challenge the gym there, but almost got my ass handed to me by the first trainer. Realized I needed to level a bit first.
• Que rigorous sea training montage. Such manliness.
• Defeated the Cianwood gym with relative ease. Chuck probably had a training montage of his own after that.
• Healed Amphy and got around to challenging the Olivine Gym. Admittedly, Steelix had me going there for a sec. My entire team technically got annihilated by him, but I found a Revive in my bag at the last minute and used it to revive a fainted Double L. Steelix beats Mack, but Double L revenge kills him with Fire Punch.
• Decide that it's finally time to evolve Wiggs. He didn't get to learn Double Edge, but I'm sick of him being just a Jigglypuff. Now he's a Guildmaster!
• Backtracked to get to Mahogany Town, where the Lake of Rage event initiated. Surprisingly, Red was there instead of Lance! That's pretty neat.
• Red & Xilfer team up to kick Rocket's ass once more at the radio tower.
• After another short training montage, went to beat Pryce. He was easy as heck. Thundershock and Fire Punch took care of the whole thing.
• Currently saved in Mahogany Town, intending on travelling to the Battle Tower, because apparently Rocket's invading it. New event, much excite.

It's high time I did another Mono Color.
Username: Buzz Buzz
Color: Yellow

I was thinking of doing a Mono-Color Yellow, however, not the same game. It'll be after Mono-Color Green, which is after Mono-Color Red.

Anyway, big news, my Pawniard is fully attack EV trained, and has evolved into a Bisharp. However, that Modest nature is still getting the best of her...

 

[King Tetiro]

Can I get some clarification? Based on the fact Pokemon XY has access to the Pokemon Bank, are we allowed to use any pokemon we wish or only the ones that appear naturally in Kalos? Doesn't make a difference to my starter but it's more of a clarification so I know when planning my team.

Only the ones that appear naturally, unless you are playing a color that allows for the trade rule to apply, and even then you still need to use Pokémon that are in the regional dex.

 

[Xilfer]

Really don't feel like posting a big update right now. Too lazy. I'll just summarize what happened I guess.

So I went through the event with Team Rocket at the battle tower and beat 'em once and for all, yada yada yada. After that, there remained only one gym: Claire's. Getting through Ice Path was a pain. Training to beat Claire was also a pain. And so was actually beating Claire. But ultimately I beat her, got the Dragon Fang thingy, got my badge, and set off for the league.

At Tohjo Falls, happened to run into a Slowpoke. Finally. Caught it and named it Kirby. Backtracked to go find a King's Rock, in hopes of evolving it into Slowking. Found King's Rock, and discovered a crapton of Slowpokes already available in said cave's water. Even some wild Slowbros. After feeling stupid for missing all that, picked up the King's Rock, but remembered that in this game you cannot trade. Dreams ruined. Just go to grind and eventually level Kirby up into a Slowbro instead.

Currently saved at the league, trained and ready to take on the Johto E4 and Champion. From what I've heard, apparently Red is already the champ in this hack.

Just to check, because I can get Kakuna, Beedrill and Pikachu before the first gym I won't be able to use my starter for that gym? I presume it is the case that as soon as I can get a Pokemon of my colour I must stop using my starter?
