Monotype Challenge (Ver. 2.0)

[Shiari Xero]

UGH. FINALLY FOUND DUNSPARCE. Phew. I think this playthrough will be similar to the last one, where almost my entire party was female, which is what it's starting to look like now. (Not that I have a problem with that, it's just a bit weird in my opinion.)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! RUN AWAY ABILITY. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!

man i know that pain. Finding that 1% encounter rate pokemon, catching him, and finding out he DOESNT have the ability (or item if thats what your lookin for)

Makes you just want to bash your head in eh?

Good luck! We have similar teams, it'll be fun and VERY challenging. :)

Steel Mono-Type Challenge (Chapter 1) @ Page 25 Post 607

- As i enter the Kurt's House, i saw a crazy old man yelling and rushing somewhere (Let follow it GO Steelix)
- At the well, i saw the Old man injured his leg & ask me to save those Slowpoke from the Guy in Black (Old man you really should'nt be running around in your age)
- After clearing the Well & recuse the slowpoke (it was easy all of them was using Normal / Posion which is deem useless infront of my Steel Pokemon - I later learn that they are called Team Rocket)
- Kurt being gladful give me a few pokeball & a very unique ball which he autographed it (-.- who want your autographed ball, i never heard your name till this morning in fact)

- As i leaving the town, i noticed My Rival dropped something (It a HM Cut which i teach it to my HM slave - well finder keep it right)
- Breeze Through Ilex Forest & Reached Goldenrod City. (I went to the Poke Centre & one thing is on my mind - Scyther @ National Park)

[Toxic Potato]

Haha, thanks Emoxy and Sam-sam. All I need to do now is get him (Well, her) a better move than Rage. And Defense Curl, which she apparently just learned.

Haha you might want to keep Defense Curl for double damage Rollout at the start. Or maybe you would've already gotten better moves by then.. Haha.

 

[AvianAzure]

Idk if you want to count me or not I already beat it so I don't have updates or anything but i went through the entire game with just my Tauros so it's technically a solo and monotype challenge. Add me if you want if not then *shrugs* ok.

Well, I'm going to keep Defense Curl and Rollout (Once I get it) until I can get Water Pulse, Glare, Rock Smash, and Headbutt, so probably not very long, since I can get - I think - all of those by the third gym. But I'm done for the day, so yeah.

 

[Shiari Xero]

gratz on the dunsparce :D

Another update before i head to bed:

• Grinded Voodoo on Route 30, killin innocent Weedles and Hoothoots is Voodoo's specialty 8D
• After grinding to a decent level i trekked farther in the route, seeing what i could see and fighting what i could fight and all that jazz.
• A youngster, one who was battling before, challenges me to a battle (after rambling about loosing and saying i looked weak.. wtf come on im older than you, you little ****)
• I beat his poorly trained Rattata into the dirt with Voodoo, thing couldnt lay a finger on me
• Another youngster challenges me, and he gets beat. Another one bites the dust.
• Passed Route 31 and got to Violet City. I hear from folks around town that Gastly have been appearing at the Sprout Tower at night. A ghastly would be an epic addition to my all Ghost team, so i head to Sprout Tower to claim my Gastly.
• After alittle searching in the towers second floor, i find a Gastly!~
• I name it Alptraum, which is German for Nightmare.
• Afterwards i start grinding Alptraum, sadly hes a special attacker..and his only attacks at this time are Hypnosis and Lick (a physical move)
• I fight every "Sage" i could see, most of them thinking they had the upper hand...Not hahahaha
• I got to the top, just cause i wanted to see whats up there, and i see... nooo that Red-headed a-hole.. Soul (i know creative name)
• He beats the Elder, and takes the TM from the Elder as a prize (man i want one too D:)
• He turns to me saying that he wouldnt loose to anyone who preached about being nice to pokemon.. man i wonder wtf happened in his life that made him such a ****

Spoiler:

• Yup No Clue...
• Anyways i got the TM, its for flash..kinda useless but oh well i may use it later.
• I climbed back down the tower and then went to Route 32 to grind, and am currently grinding my arse off :D

[emoxy]

Ghost should be rather fun.. :) Might considering doing one in the future.

I just beat the new Elite Four with my Bug team! The front four was easy, but Lance was incredibly hard to take down. Intimidate screws up my Ninjask setups, and their powerful attacks means that I could only set up Swords Dance once before Baton Passing (contrary to the front four where they used some status moves that allowed me to set up thrice, leading to incredibly easy sweeps). I have to give special mention to Farfetch'd because I forgot to deposit it.

Rocker (Armaldo) used Rock Blast! It's super effective!
Garchomp used Roar! (I was like, ****, Lighting's Baton Pass wasted.)
Cufly (Farfetch'd) was dragged out!
........
Garchomp used Outrage!
Cufly fainted!
Go, Fortress!

He managed to tank Outrage VERY well and retaliated with 2 Gyro Balls which put Garchomp to shame. :)

Another mention is STEALTH ROCK, it totally gave me a lot of damage boost to Lance's Pokemon (especially Charizard!) I had it learned by Rocker.

I think I'll drop Ash. Hail means I won't be able to setup like I did during E4.. ><

 

[Legendarian Mistress]

I can get Water Pulse, Glare, Rock Smash, and Headbutt, so probably not very long, since I can get - I think - all of those by the third gym. But I'm done for the day, so yeah.

Rock Smash can be obtained by going west of Violet.

 

[Little Brother]

aaaalrighty then, lemme update.

Started Journey with Totodile as HMSlave
grabbed an egg for Prof Elm
Fought my rival
returned to New Bark Town, reported the thief, and traded over my eggs in Violet City.
ran in circles like a mad man until they all hatched, and heard nurse joy saying mean things about me being crazy.
Began grinding straight from the start after dropping off totodile into PC from violet city.

Dratini: Male, Lvl 5. Nickname Glaedr

Dratini: Female (first one ever YAY) Lvl 5, Nickname: Tiamat

Bagon: Female (Woo) Currently Lvl 1, Nickname Bahamut.

Trapinch: Male (darn) Lvl 3, Nickname, Pilot

Hopefully at some point I'll catch a seadra for my team. This is gonna be hard from the beginning since Dratini has only wrap and leer :| ONWARD!!!

 

[EJ]

Yeah, I guess that's true, but I don't want to fight the first gym with just a Pidgey. :( Nor do I want to catch a Rattata or Noctowl.

That's my team =/

Idk if you want to count me or not I already beat it so I don't have updates or anything but i went through the entire game with just my Tauros so it's technically a solo and monotype challenge. Add me if you want if not then *shrugs* ok.

AvianAzure

Soul Silver

You did a solo run. Technically it's monotype but there's a challenge thread for that...

 

[Sweed]

Dude, i am so inactive on this :/

I'll try to update later, kinda loosing interest....
​

 

[DreJ1212]

Getting farther...

-Leveled up in the grass I left off in. Yanma and dratini got to lvl 30. Witnessed an awesome evolution of dratini. He is bigger, faster and stronger. He is Dragonair!
-Sent out Pidgeotto and used fly. Fly back to Olivine city.
-Went inside the gym. The trainers inside have a large respect for me since I gave Ampharos the Secret Potion, and they didn't bother me. I walked straight to Jasmine.

Gym Battle:
-Toughest gym battle yet. 2 Lvl 30 magnemites and a level 35 Steelix.
-I used dragonair and dragon rage to deal with the magnemites. They tried to paralyze dragonair with a swift thunder wave attack, but Dragonair shed his skin before their eyes, and he proceeded to Ko them with dragon rage.
-Steelix was a bit tough. I got 2 dragon rages off before Dragonair fainted.
-I switched to yanma to hit him with supersonic, and then I hit him with sonicboom. The reason I used sonicboom here was because I wanted to make sure Jasmine didn't use a full restore on Steelix.
-Steelix easily got a KO on yanma, yanma did her job well and deserves a good rest.
-I sent out Gyarados, one last dragon rage. Steelix faints. Jasmine hands me her gym badge. 6 down, 2 to go... in Johto at least.

-I flew back to Ecruteak city and headed to route 42. I surfed east and discovered Suicune. He ran away after he realized Eusine was stalking him.
-I went inside Mt. Mortar and explored. Fought all the trainers inside and got pretty decent exp. I exited and fought a few more trainers.
-Went into Mahogany town. This town looks really suspicious. There is a really odd tree next to one of the buildings. Proceeded to route 43, the lake of rage awaits!

Quick update before work. (K-mart rules my life. DX)

-Pokeathlon Stamina Course is a breeze. Only got one Metal Coat last night because it was so easy, I actually got bored with it.

-In the mean time, I decided to level a bit more and challenge the next few gyms.

-Scyther quickly disposed of everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, in Chuck's gym. Lemme show you how it goes....[Wing Attack * Technician Bonus * STAB = 135 if I'm not mistaken and bonuses stack.]

-Did the training in the Lighthouse. Met Jasmine, Surfed back to Cianwood (as I haven't picked a flier yet). Got SecretPotion, Cured Amphy, Went to Jasmine.

-Jasmine was a lot easier than I thought. SolidSnake took out both Magnemites with a Dig each, and Mr. T wasted Steelix.

-Lake of Rage, no pokeballs. Not a big deal though. I can get one another playthrough...lol

-Started Mahogany Town Rocket Hideout.

Tonight I will grind pokeathlon for second Metal Coat and hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get Scizor and Steelix.

Mr. T/LUCARIO (Lv. 28)
