Monotype Challenge

[Rich Boy Rob]

Right, since I have already got a fairway into the Ultimate Monotype Challenge using Psychic and I'll reach Gen IV eventually, I've decided to switch over to Ghost type. I'm having a fresh start on a Platinum ROM, so can you switch me over?

Update #3(Sorry for the delay, haven't had internet access or much time to play recently)
-After a few failed attempts at beating Wake due to my team getting its rear handed to it by Floatzel's ice fang, I did some grinding, but that still didn't help.
-Bought a bunch of X Defends and X Special Defends and taught Gastrodon Toxic
-Used a poison wall strategy to beat Wake's gyarados and floatzel by using toxic and spamming x items to the point there attacks didn't do much, and if I dropped into the yellow used a moomoo milk to avoid the extra brine damage. Once I was effectively walled, slowly chipped away until they fainted. and let Tortera Grass Knot Quagsire
-Chased the galactic grunt, and got the secret potion from Cynthia
-Healed the Psyducks and got a new errand to run for Cynthia
-Got to Celestic town and beat cyrus
-Received HM03
-Beat Nick in Canalave
-Went to Iron Island for some serious level grinding
-Gabite evolved
-Beat Byron rather easily
-Survived Team Galactic's terror attack
-Traded a Heart Scale so Garchomp would learn Fire Fang, which I really hope will help handle Candice, because if Wake's Floatzel was any indication, I might be in huge trouble.
-Headed to Lake Valor and beat Saturn there
-Beat Mars at Lake Verity
-Headed north to Snowpoint, found HM08 on the way
-Beat Candice without too much difficulty
-Went to Lake Acuity, and flew to Veilstone to play James Bond

[Haxeray]

-Now after i beat the grass gym leader, i grinded my Haunter and my Koffing (my cousin traded it to me) to lvl 30 and proceded onto the next town.
-After Eterna i went to Hearthome City and Talked to my mom in the contest area. Couldnt wait for my Haunter to DESTROY Fantina's team.
-(in real life) Convinced my cousin to trade me a Haunter for my Haunter, now i have a Gengar (so cool!!!!)
-After Hearthome went to the meaningless town of Solaceon and passed right by it.
-Next i went to Veilstone and defeated Maylene the fighting gym leader. After i beat her, helped Landon get his pokedex back.

Toxik the Toxicroak:
-Lvl: 42
-Obtained in the Swamp/Safari thing in Pastoria.

Greenbat the SHINY Golbat:

If you scrolled down, I now have a total of 7 Gym Badges.

If you read the whole thing Congrats!!!!!
P.S. (please forgive me for all my spelling errors. This is going by really fast!!!)

OHHH NOOOOOOO!!!!! I thought we could trade over any pokemon!!!! i forgot about Only one!!!!!!!!! DANG IT!!!!! IS it OK if i traded 2-3 poison types?????

 

[myrrhman]

Yeah, its fine. Just stop using 2 of them and you'll be ok. If you can get your Gengar back (the one that you traded to your cousin) you can use it again, and catch it up to the rest of your team.

 

[Haxeray]

Ok... I got rid of my Golbat and the Weezing. And i got the original C-thru (gengar) back. Now its time for an update:
-Spent an hour training my new Gengar.
-Got to Volkner and killed him with Toxicroak's earthquake.
-Got Waterfall from Jasmine.
-Went to Elite four.
-Had to make it through Victory Road (easier than expected)
-Beat Aaron with Gengar (the original one)
-I then beat Bertha with Tentacruel (EAZY PEAZY)
-Flint wasnt very hard either. Took out Lopunny with Toxicroak and his revenge.
-The psychic guy, (cant remember his name), wasnt very easy. Kept getting destroyed by Alakazam's Psychic. But its ok because i figure out Gengar learned Dark Pulse, but my cousin deleted it, so i went into the mine and got a Heart Scale. Then i beat Him.
-Finally i got to Cynthia..... WAS VERY HARD!!!!!!! Garchomp was taken out in one hit though, With tentacruel and Ice Beam (bough tit at Game corner).

!!!!!Now im the league champion!!!!!!!!

Hey um now that my mono-type is over, can i try the solo run. I wanna do Munchlax and Gengar but cant choose =[.....

The time on my computer is weird...

Myrrhman, ummm can i now delete my save file and start my solo run??

[Cardwell74]

Update #5
-Caught a Rhyhorn to deal with those pesky water-flying types
-Left Victory Road and got TM24
-gave Rhyhorn a Rare candy and it evolved to Rhydon
-let Rhydon hold a Protector and traded it to another game and back to evolve it into Rhyperior. Taught him Thunderbolt, Rock Tomb and Iron Tail
-Went back to Victory Road
-Caught a Graveler to use Explosion or Self-destruct in the E4
-Made it though
-beat Nick in the Pokemon Centre
-Headed into the Elite 4

Aaron Battle: Perfect Example Type Coverage
-Garchomp Fire Fanged Yanmega, but it u-turned out to drapion, which ate an earthquake and went down
-A pair of Fire Fangs took out Heracross
-Rhyperior got a Critical Hit with Stone Edge on Vespiquen
-A Fire Fang OHKO'd Scizor, and a second Fire Fang finished off an already hurt Yanmega

It's at this point I saved, and realized I forgot to bring Graveler in. Oh well, I didn't train him any, just a bomb.

Bertha Battle: Ground vs. Ground
-A Giga Drain didn't quiet finish off Whiscash, so I used an X Special on the turn she healed, and as a result KO'd it next turn. Torterra leveled up and learned Leaf Storm!
-She sent out Gliscor, and I sent out Gastrodon. Took an Earthquake but OHKO'd it with Ice Beam
-Hippowdon hit an Earthquake, and survived surf. I didn't heal because I thought she would, but she didn't and Gastrodon went down to Earthquake, but Torterra took him out
-Torterra also took out Golem with Leaf Storm
-Her Rhyperior took out Torterra with a surprise Avalanche, but my Garchomp was too fast and finished it with an Earthquake

Healed and used some PP Ups on Leaf Storm

Flint Battle: This is Gonna be Fun
-Stupid Houndoom used Sunny day, so it took two Surfs
-Garchomp was faster than Rapidash, and OHKO'd it with Earthquake
-Garchomp also OHKO'd Falreon, Magmortar and Infernape

Lucian Battle: Toughest Test
-Mr. Mime used Reflect, but went down to 2 Crunches
-Grachomp's Earthquake isn't doing much. Stupid Reflect. We are both in the red, and both heal, and Reflect is gone. Eathquake takes it to the red, and a Slash puts Espeon away.
-2 Fire Fangs put Bronzong in the red. I thought he would heal, so I used an X Attack, but he didn't, so Garchomp went down. Hammer Arm from Rhyperior put Bronzong down.
-When I needed the quick claw it came though, and Torterra put Gallade away with Earthquake
-Torterra survived Alakazam's Psychic with 31 hp, and got a Critical Hit with Crunch

Healed before going into the Champion's Room

Cynthia Battle: Main Event
-Garchomp out ran Spiritomb, and finished it with a pair of Earthquakes
-She sent out her Garchomp, who missed a Dragon Rush and BARELY survived and Ice Beam from Gastrodon. History, however, repeated itself, a missed Dragon Rush, and an Ice Beam, this time for the KO
-Garchomp Fire Fanged Roserade, but it survived. Garchomp got poisoned. I opted to use an X Attack for a guaranteed KO instead of healing the poison on the turn Cynthia healed.
-Milotic used Ice Beam and OHKO'd Torterra. Bad luck with the Quick Claw
-Used the Toxic Wall strategy I used on Wake against Milotic.
-Lucario OHKO'd Rhyperior with Aura Sphere
-Send out Gastrodon, but healed Garchomp instead. Gastrodon took the fall. I regret sending out Rhyperior and losing my wall
-An Earthquake from Garchomp OHKO'd Lucario
-Took a few turns to heal Gastrodon while Togekiss Air Slashed Garchomp
-Garchomp hit Togekiss with Dragon Rush and it flinched. Air Slash put Garchomp down the next turn though when Slash didn't put it away.
-Cynthia healed, allowing Gastrodon to hit Ice Beam. Air Slash missed, and Ice Beam Froze Togekiss. One last Ice Beam ended the battle and my challenge.

Final Team:

Torterra (Lvl 57)
-Leaf Storm
-Curse
-Earthquake
-Crunch

Gastrodon (Lvl 56)
-Surf

-Mud Bomb
- Ice Beam

Garchomp (Lvl 57)

And Special thanks to all my HM Slaves
Budew: Cut
Geodude: Rock Smash
Bibarrel: Surf, Rock Smash, Waterfall and Rock Climb
Tropius: Cut, Fly, Strength, Defog

Challenge wasn't too hard. The hardest parts were Wake and Lucian. My MVP was Garchomp, he beat Candice, Aaron, and Flint almost single handedly. Gastrodon was a great wall against Wake and Cynthia's Milotic. My LVP was Rhyperior, he wasn't on my team very long, and his Special Attack wasn't that good, so Thunderbolt wasn't very good, and his purpose, to beat water-flying types, wasn't very necessary at that point. Were I to have caught a Rhyhorn before I battled Wake, the case would have been different. Overall, I enjoyed doing this challenge. I love ground types, and X items are awesome.

 

[Bart Crab]

I won't be able to have time to play until mid july as i'm going on a holiday.

 

[myrrhman]

Well, time for me to do this challenge. I'm using Ghost Types.

Update 1: Named myself A, and Rival You (so I could see You defeated You!). I played a bit yesterday, and finished the Poketch stuff. So now, I beat everyone north of Jubilife, and You. Saved because I had to go to class.
