3rd Gen R/S Monotype Challenge

Not sure how I'm going to defeat Wattson with Bug Pokemon. The only way I can is by getting really lucky and score consecutive fury cutters.

To TheAbsol: Or you could just overlevel one of your pokemon to make it easier... Post your team and I might be able to help more.

--------------------

- Went to Fallabor and gave Prof. Cozmo his Meteorite.
- Trained Cacnea a bit more before heading toward Mauville.
- From Mauville, curved into Verdanturf and into Rusturf Tunnel.
- Made my way to Rustboro, and then to Petalburg.
- Challenged the Petalburg City Gym, generally scoring victory quite easily; I defeated Norman and earned the Balance Badge.
- Made it back to Mauville, where I was asked by Wattson to turn off the generator in New Mauville.
- Ventured into New Mauville and turned off the generator found there.
- Surfed over to Route 118, where I met and talked to Steven again.
- I battled my way up Route 118 and Route 119.
- Saved the Weather institute from Team Aqua and obtaining the weather-dependent pokemon Castform for my troubles.
- Found May and battled with her once more, pushing her aside with ease.
- Finally, after a gruelingly long trip, made it to Fortee City.
- Went back outside Fortree and caught my #1 HM Slave: Tropius.
- Went fishing and caught my #2 HM Slave: Magikarp (Gyarados in reality).
- Stuck around and fished some more, catching my fourth team pokemon: Carvanha.
- Adjusted my team and created my HM slaves, evolving Magikarp into Gyarados.
- Ventured to Route 120, capturing my final team pokemon: Absol.
- Trained my newly made team.
- Talked to Steven once again, getting the Silph Scope and battling Kecleon.
- Identified another Kecleon and cleared the path to the gym.
- Challenged the Fortree City Gym, breezing through most of it. After a long close-call of a battle, I defeated Winona (Altaria is EVIL...) and obtained the Feather Badge.
- Made my way through Routes 120 and 121, battling / training my newer additions.
- After a tiring run through the long routes, I made it to Lilycove City.
- After talking to May, I battled her for the final time, and defeated her.
- Made my way toward Mt. Pyre after training some.
- Climbed Mt. Pyre on the inside, defeating all of the trainers.
- Defeated Team Aqua on top of Mt. Pyre, getting the Blue Orb.
- Trained atop Mt. Pyre (Dark-type PARADISE).
- Flew to Slateport City and witnessed Team Aqua stealing Captain Stern's new submarine.
- Through save states and various tests, I identified my pokemon's Hidden Power types (not power, however... I don't EV train, so I can't find that out).

Currently: Relieving Lilycove City of Team Aqua.

It might be a while until my next update. I have to beat Watson with Flying only. :(
 
I'm going to have to drop out of this.
I don't have the time or the attention span to go any further with the challenge, which is kind of disappointing to me since I was hoping I'd get around to finishing the game for once.

Best of luck to everyone who is still participating though. ^^
 
Sorry about this, but I've decided to put my fire monotype on hold for an all-blaziken run of Sapphire.
I'll do this challenge next.
 
Since Ghost is rare I'll sign up using Rock types. I'll do it on Ruby.

Whats a Monotype Challenge?
Click to expand...

A Monotype challenge is where the challenger picks a singular pokemon type, and goes through said pokemon game with there party consisting of only pokemon with the chosen type(secondary-types are usally allowed, at the discression of the challenge runner). HM slaves are completely up to the challenge runner, but are for the majority allowed. The challenge usally ends with the defeat of the regional Eilte 4, or with any other specifications that, again, the challenge runner decides. Updates are usally mandatory, to keep tabs on the progress of the other challengers. Anything else RanzAlton?
