The Brown Monocolor Challenge in Pokémon Yellow

Something to say

It's been a while since I did Kanto Challenge, so I decided to look back at Gen I games and picked Yellow as suitable game for Brown Monocolor. I can't even remember last time I've played Yellow and Disturb Not The Harmony's posts just made me want to replay it.
I actually had pretty hard time picking the color for the Monocolor and then members. I originally wanted to do Yellow Monocolor, but changed my mind after realizing I would have to use pretty much same Pokémon I've used in previous challenges (Not just in BINGO). So I've swapped to the Brown one.
This was also first time I've used Abra line in-game. And now I understand everyone that said it's OP. It's probably more OP in RB...
Pidgeot is also something I haven't use in a while. Last time was probably when I was little. It was solid back then and it was solid member now too.
Primeape - I've used one recently, so I've used him pretty much to get through Brock and the caves. I've also used it on as Ground-Type attack user until I got Marowak. Dig was handy few times.
Which brings me to Marowak. Don't remember using one before outside 'lockes. There wasn't much for it to do when I got it so it was pretty underused.
Kabutops - 3rd best member of the run. Even when it was obtained pretty late I spent time to train it and even derleveled it was able to solo Blaine. I really enjoyed imagine it slashing the opponents.
Kangaskhan - Last member that I originally didn't even want. I caught it pretty much for the HMs and while I leveled it, it was used in about 3 battles againts the E4

Gift Challenge - Yellow #1
This game confuses me, but I managed to get past 6 gyms already.

I battled Blue in Route 22 and won it, as well as the first one (which I'm starting to regret), so his Eevee eventually evolved into Jolteon.

Anyway, to the leaders and main events:

Brock was my main concern, since my only team member was Pikachu (also, I heard Bind in this game is broken, and it really is). But a few Tail Whips and Quick Attacks were enough to take him out.

Misty was... Pikachu??

I battled Blue again on Nugget Bridge and got my second team member in Route 24: Charmander.

Battled Blue yet again at S.S. Anne and got HM01 Cut. We're close to the next member, just need one more badge...

I literally laughed when I realized Lieutenant Surge had only Raichu.

Went straight back to Route 2 by Diglett's Cave and traded a Clefairy with a guy to get Miles, the Mr. Mime.

After a lot of frustration in Rock Tunnel (twice, cause I lost against a random NPC just outside Lavender Town and had to walk EVERYTHING again), I arrived at Celadon. Got a lot of items, mainly TM48, which is gonna be useful for a future member, and won easily against Erika.

At Saffron, the Fighting Dojo was very kind to give me Hitmonlee, and he's joining the team.

Team Rocket filler stuff.

Seriously, why is Sabrina's team at level 50, by the way? Nevermind, I slashed the hell out of her.

Went back to Silph Co. and some random person gifted me Lapras.

Fuschia is next, and Koga's bugs were no match for Miles.

Phew, that was fast, anyway to the team:

Pikachu | Lvl. 40
- Thunderbolt
- Mega Punch
- Double Team
- Thunder Wave

Charizard | Lvl. 42
- Fly
- Growl
- Ember
- Leer

Mr. Mime | Lvl. 42
- Psychic
- Barrier
- Thunderbolt
- Light Screen

Hitmonlee | Lvl. 41
- Double Kick
- Meditate
- Rolling Kick
- Jump Kick

Lapras | Lvl. 38
- Ice Beam
- Body Slam
- Surf
- Confuse Ray

Sheet:

Spoiler:

Not a bad team but I wanted to comment that you can get Bulbasaur via gift in Cerulean(and prior to Misty if your friendship with Pikachu was high enough. If not, there is a way to push it higher without battling). Would allow you to abuse Leech Seed/Toxic with it on your roster. Also there is an Eevee in Celadon that you can get via a gift as well, hence giving you the option of getting Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon(not like you need it with the cast you've already assembled).

Oh and one more thing. Yellow is harder than Red/Blue when it comes to Gym Leaders/Elite Four. Pokemon are much higher in level and come with different/improved movesets. Granted they nerfed Brock by dropping his Pokemon 2 levels and removing Defense Curl from Geodude. Bind does suck though(as does Wrap and Fire Spin).

Okay here is my next update for my White 2 Champion Challenge. I have just defeated Marlon, now about to work on the Team Plasma story arch and I have all of my team fully evolved now.

Thanks! Yeah, I have pondered using Bulbasaur and Eevee in my team (in fact, I looked at a list of all gift/trade pokémon in yellow to decide which pokémon I want to use). I never thought in abusing the Toxic/Leech Seed strategy though... But I think my first playthrough is going smooth so far (let's see when I reach E4).

SUON PLAYS BINGO

A BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS CHALLENGE ON BLACK
BINGO! challenges completed: 4/20

UPDATE #2

Time for a new update. I beat the E4, N and Ghetis. The E4 wasn't too hard, but N and Ghetis required a lot of strategy and healing items from my side.

Of course, not a big surprise. The teammembers I chose aren't the strongest statwise. Also, I decided on purpose to get only single type Pokemon, which limited my coverage and STAB moves. Our levels really needed to be on par or higher to stand a change.

The last (and only) time I played this generation, I stopped here. But, since this isn't finished untill I beat Alder, it's gonna be a blind run from now on. So before I went to bed (this was yesterday night...), I challenged the E4 again for some training (since the trainers in the new routes appear to be L60+), but they are L70+! I guess I'm not done yet :D

My team

SURICATE (m) @lvl 50
Impish nature, quick tempered.
Ability: Illuminate. Holding Smoke Ball.
- Return
- Baton Pass
- Work Up
- Hypnosis
Due to his type and stats, he was seriously falling behind. By giving him Baton Pass (something I've never used before), he became important again. He started every major battle, many times successfully passing Work Up.

CHAT (m) @lvl 52
Lax nature, good perseverance.
Ability: Limber. Holding Scope Lens
- Night Slash
- Slash
- Shadow Claw
- Hone Claws
Like SURICATE, CHAT was also falling behind a bit, but got important again when he learnt Night Slash. My Ace against Caitlin and Chauntal. Can't take a punch though.

OMBRE (m) @lvl 53
Docile nature, highly persistent.
Ability: Mummy. Holding Spell Tag.
- Shadow Ball
- Rest
- Will-o'-wisp
- Curse
Quite important all the way through. A good staller, and could finish where others couldn't. Never used Rest since I can use healing items, but I still have to find a suitable replacement.

SORCIÊRE (f) @lvl 51
Calm nature, scatterers things often.
Ability: Frisk. Holding Lucky Egg.
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Fake Tears
- Future Sight
Compared to Psychic types from previous generations, she is quite weak. I never do EV training, but maybe I should have.

ANGUILLE (m) @lvl 53
Bashful nature, strongly defiant.
Ability: Levitate. No hold item.
- Acrobatics
- Crunch
- Brick Break
- Thunderbolt
The MVP. My sweeper. That's all.

FLOCON @lvl 50
Bashful nature, often dozes off.
Ability: Levitate. Holding Nevermeltice.
- Ice Beam
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Aurora Beam
It's low defense is a serious pain. Thankfully, it's reasonable Special Attack and Speed, combined with a high Special Defense, make that it can do some good damage or set up some extra defenses before fainting... all... the... time!

UPDATE #3 - FINALE

So I finally finished this challenge, and, to my surprise, I quite enjoyed it. I've always been an offensive player, but here I needed more status moves and patience.

In the post-game, I discovered all the new areas, battled all the new trainers, found 6 sages and got some useful TM's and challenged Cynthia a few times (kept losing untill, well, I won...).

In the end, I challenged the E4 when I thought I was strong enough.

Shauntal
I started with SURICATE, trying to do the same strategy as I used against Cynthia. A few Double Teams, Sword Dances and then Baton Pass to CHAT. Didn't work, CHAT fainted to a crit hit Energy Ball. OMBRE then managed a few Calm Minds and crushed all six ghosts.

Caitlin
I wanted the Baton Pass technique to work, so I tried it again. This time, it was easy. CHAT slashed his way through all of Caitlin's psychics.

Marshal
OMBRE and SORCI?RE didn't struggle here.

GRIMSLEY
Here I used my leftover team members. FLOCON was actually a bit useful here, by beating Krookodile and Drapion. ANGUILLE finished the others.

Alder
I can write a whole book about this fight, if more happened. But in fact, I only used OMBRE (who had taken over ANGUILLE's MVP status)... Against Accelgor he could set up 6 Calm Minds. The others, including Bouffalant and Volcarona, were no match.

So, top row of my card is done! But the challenge continues...

My team

SURICATE (m) @lvl 74
Impish nature, quick tempered.
