Monotype Challenge (Ver. 2.0)

[Toxic Potato]

ah, I didn't even know you could get it on Route 31. I'm pretty sure the encounter rate on 32 is a lot higher than 5%, though. :)

Lol, you can't get Poliwag on Route 32, and if it's with the Old Rod, it's always 5%.

 

[yomamathecableguy]

CRAP, sorry, it's late. I completely meant to say Wooper. lmao Wooper has a 35% encounter rate on Route 32, plus it's a dual ground type making it that much more awesome, for those electric types at least.

@toxic potato: it takes determination to get that 1% pokemon. Snubbull is just as hard to get and I did it =D

yeah totopacman you can get wooper really early on and poliwag.

Well, yeah, I toughed out the 5% chance of Poliwag, so I think I could live through the 1% of Dunsparce.

Just got the 3rd Badge.

-Went into Ilex Forest. Found someone who lost 2 Farfetch'd.
-Found his Farfetch'd, had to sneak up behind them because they like to run when they see me for some reason.
-Returned the Farfetch'd and received HM 1, Cut.
-Taught cut to totodile and cut the tree in front of me.
-Went through the rest of the forest, helping a Kimono girl on my way out.
-Battled trainers on Route 34, put magikarp in day care.
-Reached goldenrod city and went to the game corner.
-Played Voltorb Flip for a long time until I got 2100 coins, then bought Dratini.
-Got the bike from the bike shop.
-Trained Dratini in the Goldenrod Underground. Dragon rage is so awesome at lower levels.
-Went back to the daycare to check on Magikarp, who was level 19 at the time, perfect. Put totodile in day care so he can evolve into a better HM slave later on.
-Went into the Radio tower and took the quiz to get the radio card. Whitney just happened to be there and returned to her gym.
-Beat the trainers in the gym. Magikarp evolved into a BEAST. Gyarados has better stats than all of my pokemon.
-Confronted a jealous Whitney.

Gym Battle:
-Easily took care of Clefairy with Zubat.
-Whitney sends out Miltank, who cant use attract on Zubat, since they are both female.
-Miltank stilll gets an easy KO on Zubat with flinch hax from stomp.
-I send out Dratini, who gets hit with attract.
-Dratini resists the cow's charms, and dragon rages twice for the easy win.
-Whitney cries for a bit, I walked away because I felt bad, but a trainer told me to go back there and get that badge.
-I go back and Whitney hands me the Plain Badge. I exit the gym and head toward route 35.

Hmmmm..... alright then. Just gotta trade over all the old guys (i'll miss the old assorted flying things) to my HG (the hub of games past, including the Bug Champ team),and i'll start.

and to people who make banners: can i pretty please have a Flying Monotype champion banner? pleeeeeaaaaase?

 

[EJ]

5% is a lot different than 1% Believe you me....

 

[Toxic Potato]

I wouldn't begin to doubt you for a second on that. :S


In other news, HAPPY DAY. I found my DS, so playing through this will be a lot less painless. I am still doing Normal, but will have another save for the Steel one, once I get to that. (I'm using a flash card, so I can use multiple .sav files, obviously.)

 

[emoxy]

YEAH DUNSPARCE IS AWESOME. HEADBUTT FLINCHES 100% OF THE TIME.

Never met a Snubbull before.. :( Poliwag wasn't so hard to find though.

60%.*

But yeah, I'm gonna start tomorrow. Too lazy to do it today. :l

Haha I mean it feels like 100%. Paraflinch Dunsparce is seriously gay.
On the other hand, Glare feels like 50%.

Then apparently you've never come across a parafusionflinch (:l) Dunsparce.

Water Pulse, Glare, Headbutt.

I just shudder thinking about the fact that the one receiving damage will have like a 1% chance of actually attacking.

Haha! Never thought about water pulse. I used to use Rock Smash, which pretty much makes sures everything's a 2-3HKO.

 

[TrilbyMenetti]

I've decided that I'm going to give myself a real hard challenge on my currently unused SoulSilver cartridge and go with a Monotype Grass team, which I believe will have the most trouble. Plus, I didn't use any Grass types on my main HeartGold team, so it'll be refreshing to use this type again.

My team will be (and I apologise if it's similar to anyone else's):

Meganium (Grass)
Victreebell (Grass/Poison)
Vileplume (Grass/Poison)
Bellossom (Grass)
Sunflora (Grass)
Tangrowth (Grass)

I don't know when I'll start, probably tonight, but who knows. I'm looking forward to doing it though.

And now, I believe I've found a moveset for my Dunsparce. :P

I know the pain. I hate exams. Fortunately, I've finished mine, but hey, if you're allowed to, play the game after you've completed the test, if you have enough time. :P That's what I did during my Fighting run.

Throwin' in another quick update here.
Nothing new really, I think I'm going to grind until level 45 until I try the League again.

Here's my planned match up for Will:
Xatu #1 vs. Golem - Rock Throw
Jynx vs. Quagsire - Put in a Surf and/or EQ or two and STAB should kill it...
Exeggutor vs. ??? - He's what killed me, Quag being my ace and 4x weak to Grass moves.. dunno what to hit him with
Slowbro vs. Quag - EQ/Surf it before it gets too many Curses up
Xatu #2 vs. Golem - Rock Throw again.

Also, Golem is my last chance sacrifice. He has Explosion.

Any tips?

Try Iron Tail too, much higher power, but only 60% defense decrease, and 75% accuracy. Depends on the circumstances I must say.

Better make sure that your Golem don't get OHKO-ed by Psychic.. Or you can grind till Level 49 to get Stone Edge, which pretty much ensures a OHKO for flying units (assuming you don't die of course).

You might need to set up some Amnesias for your Quagsire.

Megahorn would own Exeggutor, but Nidoking only learns it at Level 50+. Might want to try a STABed Sludge Bomb on Nidoking, or Blizzard on Piloswine.

And I just finished my performance! Super tired, but will play a while.​

Update Numero Uno!

Will be starting this evening. Still deciding on names and such.

Friend let me borrow his DS to do the necessary trading.

Starter = Totodile

Won't be able to update as often as i thought. Someone spilled iced tea on my laptop over the weekend so i will only be able to update when i can get to my desktop.
