You don't really need to go through Rock Path for that. You can head east from Cerulean if I'm not mistaken.

MAJOR UPDATE: well im now the officil pokemon league champion!! muahahaha!! anyways after my 8th badge went to professors place aand got a masterball. Went to ecruteak to verse kimono girls not to hard i have to admit having taunt on my murkrow worked wonders against the umbreon the only real challenge that and the vaporeon. Next went to bell tower and killed ho-oh. Then went through new bark to victory road killing trainers blah blah blah and then met my rival at the end beat him to a pulp and then continued to pokemon leuge!!

WILL

Xatu - started with sharpedo one crunch he dies
Exeggutor- Switched to murkrow taunted it, fell for it by using hypnosis one faint attack crits it
Jynx - Switch to sharpedo crit it with a crunch
Slowbro- Switch to pupitar use crunch i think and kill it
Xatu - Switch back to sharpedo and crunch it

MVP: Sharpedo was easily the mvp against will OHKOing almost his whole team and could have have done it if he wanted to.

Koga

Ariados - pupitar uses rock slide gets a lucky crit

Forretress - i know this is bad it practically walls me but i switched to murkrow. SPAM as many taunts and flys possible soon he gets soo fed up he uses explosion while im in the air(for fly) lol that was probably his hardest to kill

Muk - Switch to pupitar and use a x attack and then 2HKO his muk after plenty of damage from crunch lowering his defense. Oh ya btw he used 6 minimizes and i never missed an attack on him, not even rock slide XD!

Crobat- Seeing as i have an x attack i see no point of switching I USE A ROCK SLIDE AND GET PROBABLY THE MOST LUCKIEST CRIT EVER i OHKOed it!!!!!!!!

Venomoth - rock slide nuff said

MVP: Pupitar for sure, took out most of kogas top guns

BRUNO

hitmontop - use faint attack while he uses counter then fly to kill it.

hitmon chan- fly gets a crit

onix - Sharpedo + Surf = OHKO

machamp - sharpedo uses surf to take it at around 35% and then sacrifices himself so murkrow can finish him off

Hitmonlee - kills him self with hi-jump kicks missing lol

MVP: Most definately murkrow helped take out our whole teams wall (Machamp)

KAREN

Umbreon - murkrow spams as many taunts and flys as possible

Houndoom - sharpedo kills it with surf, actually it was a crit lol

Gengar - Murkrow sucker punches it and then faint attacks but it used destiny bond so we both die

Vileplume - Sharpedo ice fangs it

Murkrow- Pupitar rock slides it

MVP: id say there are 2 murkrow and sharpedo each did something to win

LANCE

on a side note this was the most difficult balttle ever had to give pupitar a choice scarf and sharpedo a muscle band to win it also it took me prolly 25 restarts to win :S

Gyrados: Pupitar rock slides it with a crit

Dragonite(49) : pupitar rock slides to half uses dragon rush misses finish it off with rock slide

Dragonite(49): Sharpedo ice fangs it while it uses full restores and misses with dragon rush

Dragonite(50): Sharpedo ice fangs it to yellow b4 dieing and i let pupitar kill it

Aerodactyl: Sucker punches till yellow and then pupitar finishes it with rock slide

Charizard: ROck slide btw before i couldve won earlier but against his charizard i missed 2 Rock slides!

MVP: PUPITAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next went proffesors got a s.s ticket went to olivine find mr. oak who gives me a national dex next go to pokeathelon and buy a dusk stone to evolve my murkrow who also learns night slash. Now im at safari zone waiting for baoba to call me for his second challenge and then catch my 2 next members of my team: A houndoom and nuzleaf( shiftry )

You're doing the Poison Type run, right? I just want to know why you didn't use Nidoking and / or Nidoqueen. They're pretty cool and their starts are balanced.


Anyway...

-Got to Pewter, and entered the Gym.

ROCKY BROCK BRAWL!

-Luna 3HKO'd Graveler with a lot of Faint Attacks.
-Gojira 1HKO'd Rhyhorn with Earthquake.
-Gojira 2HKO'd Omastar with Earthquake.
-Gojira 1HKO'd Onix with Earthquake.
-Gojira 1HKO'd Kabutops with Earthquake.
Brock doesn't have Golem. NOOB ROCK LEADER.

-Made Blue GTFO of Cinnabar.

A BATTLE WITH BLUE!!!
-Luna 1HKO'd Exeggutor with a boosted Payback.
-Scarface 1HKO'd Machamp with Pluck.
-Gojira 2HKO'd Rhydon with Ice Fang and Earthquake.
-Garmr 1HKO'd Arcanine with Dark Pulse after a Nasty Plot boost.
-Garmr 1HKO'd Pidgeot with Flamethrower.

-Went to the path to Mt. Silver.
-Caught myself a Ponyta and named him Jacob. I also caught an Ursaring and named her Mama Bear.
-Found Moltres... Meh... I'll catch him anyway.
-Caught Moltres after 5 Ultra Balls, 10 Poke Balls and 3 Fast Balls with a Heal Ball. I named him Feeny.

Here goes nothin'... But that has to wait. Got to do a science module...

I guess... I was underlevelled. I grinded while doing my module... And now my Darks are around Level... :\
70.
Still can't beat him. I hate Blastoise.

 

[amberfunk]

@dr faustus- I was going to use nidoking since he's one of my favorites but I got too attached to training just the Asuka and Kael so I decided to just have those two. I was also going to have weezing but the koffing I caught aggravated me so I ditched that one too.

Update:
I went to Kanto and defeated Surge, Sabrina, Erika and then went to restore the power at the power plant. Then I defeated Janine then made Misty go back to the gym and defeated her in two minutes ( I turned off the battle scene so the battles went way faster). I got the radio card and now I'm on my way to defeat snorlax and then Brock.
Here is my team.

Kael lv70

Nightmare
Dark pulse
Curse

Asuka lv69
Poison jab
Bug bite

I went to the Battle frontier because I want my Bloom to learn Outrage...
spent several ours there...need still more BP.
But i made a break cause Baoba called twice and told me there were new Objects in the Safari Zone. I went there, placed some plains objects inthe Wetlands and 28 forest objects in the Meadow areas to catch a Nuzleaf and Lombre.
Afterwards I entered the Pokeathlon, the shop let me buy a Water Stone. I entered the Bug Contest afterwards hoping to win a Leaf Stone but i got a Fire Stone...very Useful for Grass Types...
Because i had nothing to do I played Voltorb Flip for some two hours or so and won 10034 Coins. I wanted a Tm Ice Beam.

[twinsandvikes777]

So my current team is a level 68 hitmonlee level 65 heracross level 66 hitmonchan and level 66 machamp! Woohoo I think I'll kill everyone!

 

[Dr. Faustus]

Oh great. NONE of my Dark types can learn Light Screen. Going through Blastoise is going to be hard.

Oh great. NONE of my Dark types can learn Light Screen. Going through Blastoise is going to be hard.

Changed my team's items...
Gojira @ Choice Scarf (thanks Mom)
Garmr @ Passho Berry
Luna @ BrightPowder
Scarface @ Muscle Band
Challenged PKMN Trainer [I think it should be master lol] Red!

-Gojira surprisingly 1HKO'd Pikachu with Rock Slide. Must be his Pikachu's crappy defenses.
-After flinching Blastoise once, Blastoise 2HKO's Gojira with Focus Blast and Flash Cannon.
-Hydro Cannon fails to 1HKO Luna and she finishes off Blastoise with Faint Attack after Sandstorm damage.
-Switched into Gojira to revive Gojira, and is 1HKO;d by Crunch.
-Snorlax deals laughable damage to Gojira with Blizzard. Lol. Gojira finishes him off after a few Crunches.
-Gojira Crunches Lapras twice before getting 2HKO'd by Brine.
-PKMN Trainer Red used Full Restore! FFUUUUUUUU
-Scarface avoids a Blizzard and 3HKO's Lapras with Night Slash and Sandstorm damage.
-I send in Mamaru to Revive Gojira and gets 1HKO'd by Dragon Pulse.
-Gojira 1HKO'd Charizard with Rock Slide.
-Venusaur and Gojira wall each other due to Giga Drain (benefiting Red) and Sandstorm (benefiting me)
-Gojira gets Sleep Powder'd, but I used a Chesto Berry to wake him up. He got Giga Drained again, though.
-Gojira hits Venusaur with Rock Slide, and Venusaur's attack misses (I didn't see which).
-Gojira almost KO's Venusaur, but Red uses a Full Restore. HOW MANY HEALING ITEMS DOES THIS GUY HAVE?!
-Gojira commits suicide with Struggle.
-Garmr finishes off Venusaur with Flamethrower.

I won... I actually won... The credits roll...
...

...
...
This quest spanned time and darkness...
And I have completed it...
I say goodbye to Gojira, Scarface, Luna and Garmr... for now...

"Fast and powerful, but usually frail. That's what Dark-type Pokemon are."

[SkieTheKitsune]

Oh man, this is gonna be a massive update. I haven't had internet for 2 whole days so I've had plenty of time to progress through SoulSilver with my awesome normal team. :P

Anyways, onward! No massive walls of text, just what I've written down in my log.

UPDATES 2 through 5: Spanning from July 5th (probably) to July 8th
(This is where Update 2 would have started)

• Cut through Union Cave, made it to Azalea Town
• Kicked Team Rocket out of the Slowpoke Well
• Fought Bugsy, cost me 3 resets and 1 blackout

Oh, boy, what can I say about Bugsy that isn't the words "I never want to see another Scyther again"? Ironically, Bugsy is the only Gym Leader who's caused me problems so far, the others have been a walk in the park. xD

• Traveled to Goldenrod
• Fought Whitney, cost me 0 resets/blackouts

This was an interesting one. Whitney's Miltank clashed with Shakey Snake in an epic stall-out battle that kept going on for a good 10-20 minutes or so.

(this is where Update 2 would have ended and where Update 3 would start)

• Delievered Kenya the Spearow to that fat guy on Route 31, got the Rest TM
• Fought and caught Sudowoodo, obviously put him in the PC, got the Berry Pots and the Apriblender
• Caught Deereisen the female Stantler (another clever, if not fairly obvious portmanteau)
• Made it to Ecruteak City

After a lot of time spent Headbutting trees, I finally found myself an Aipom, and I named her Handy. :3

• Got the Surf and Strength TMs
• Caught Caesar the male Meowth, put Caesar in the PC

(this is where Update 3 would have ended and where Update 4 would start)

• Fought Silver at the Burned Tower, met Eusine who did nothing of importance to the plot
• Fought Morty, cost me 0 resets/blackouts

This was another fun one. :D Flip, who had evolved into a Pidgeotto at this point, wins the MVP for KO'ing Morty's over-leveled Gengar with a combination of whittling down its HP with Gust and major Sand-Attack spam. He proved himself to be quite useful despite his disadvantage. >:3

• Surfed to Mahogany Town
• Caught Cinnamon the female Girafarig
• Plowed through the trainers in the Lighthouse
• Put Flip in the PC
• Surfed to Cianwood City, fought nearly all the trainers on the routes there getting Cinnamon's level up
• Put Flip in the PC
• Fought Eusine again and once again did nothing of importance to the plot (Seriously, why the hell is he in the game again? He's really unimportant -.-)
• Fought Chuck, cost me 0 resets/blackouts

This was another fun one, and was basically fought by using Cinnamon until she was KO'd by Chuck's Poliwrath. After which I let Mother Hen take over. It was quite amusing watching him use Focus Punch after Focus Punch only to get hit and have its focus lost. I still wish TM01 was Dynamicpunch. ;_;

(this is where Update 4 would have ended and where Update 5 would start)

• Flew back to Mahogany Town, did the entire Team Rocket Sidequest

I Caught two Electrodes inside the HQ, and named them Bap-Zoom and Zoom-Bap (I have two Electrodes on my HeartGold cartridge named Zap-Boom and Boom-Zap, I thought it was funny at the time :P), I obviously I put them in the PC. I also caught the Red Gyarados and named him Girugados (Another obvious portmanteau)

• Flew back to Olivine City
• Fought Jasmine, cost me 0 resets/blackouts

Okay, I REALLY liked this match. Handy took out her two Magnemites using Dig. Her Steelix caused problems in the beginning, but Handy's multiple Screeches combined with Shakey Snake's Rock Smash and tank stalling proved to be successful, and earned them both the MVP this time around. :D

• Flew back (again) to Mahogany Town
• Beat Pryce, cost me 0 resets/blackouts

Things got interesting when I fought Pryce. His Dewgong continued to be a problem with its Rest spam, but once it ran out of Sleep Talks it was easy prey. >:3 The real problem this time around was his Piloswine, surprisingly. Blizzard spam is not fun. =.= Of course, after he ran out of Blizzards, he was slightly easier, but still a pain. Mother Hen wins the MVP this time, but I used up nearly ALL of my Lemonades and Revives. :I

• Flew back to Goldenrod
• Kicked Team Rocket out for good >:3

That's all this time. Here's my current SoulSilver team:

Now, I'm debating this and I need some help- Which Pokémon should I get to fill in the 6th slot? I was thinking of waiting until I get to Blackthorn City to get a Teddiursa so I can evolve it into an Ursaring, but then again, I do have the Miltank, Togepi and Meowth sitting in my PC just waiting to be used. And there's also the chance of me finding a Snubbull nearby Ecruteak City. There's just so many choices... @_@

Which should I go for? I'm personally leaning towards Teddiursa, but I need a few other opinions before I finalize. :P

Anyway, time to grind for Clair.
​

 

[EJ]

Your best bet is to get Miltank or wait for Teddiursa. That chance of finding a snubbull is very slim. (1%) I caught mine after like two hours. Frikkin' annoying =/

 

[amberfunk]

I just defeated red. I have completed my poison monotype challenge.

My final team:

Kael lv80
Hypnosis
Nightmare
Curse
Dark pulse

Asuka lv79
Poison jab
Psychic
Bug bite
Night shade

Curse tended to be a very useful move. This challenge was the first time since pokemon came out that I've used it.

Also EJ I'd like to start a normal type challenge now with soulsilver. Everyone is making it sound like a lot of fun.

 

[NecroFlame]

@ Skie - I think you should get Togepi into Togekiss, as he is an amazing special sweeper.

I will soon begin this challenge, might be a part of my Ultimate Ice Monotype, unless I decide to do this on a different type. I'll post here again when I actually start this off.
