My team is:
Drifblim, Cofagrigus, Banette, Jellicent, Golurk, and Chandelure

P.S-(I would do the cool sprites stuff, but I don't know how.)

*FINAL UPDATE* -Soul silver flying

well it only took 2 months from the last update, and almost 5 months from when I started... finally the Challenge is complete

my story is a simple yet long one, after my last update grinding got harder to do, and thus finding motivation to continue was hard too. I attempted to beat red about a month back, but I failed miserably haha. since then I had been slowing grinding a dratini to a dragonite, so I could combat his pikachu that swept me on my first try. just last night I found some motivation to do some bulk grinding, and i was able to finally finish the challenge today.

Battle summary: (warning, it's a long read)

Spoiler:

-battle started with me sending out dragonite and using extreme speed, taking about 40% of his Pikachu's hp away
-hail bombarded him until he was down to low hp, I went to use extreme speed again but somehow messed up. Red then used a full restore
-repeted above, and didn't mess up. 1 down.
-Red then sent out lapras, which I easily took out by sending out my gyarados and healing him along with using dragon dance. then I used strength to k.o it. 2 down
-Then he sent out his venasaur. keeping gara in I just did the same as above until hail put it in the red, of course I somehow lost gara before knocking it out. noctowl then defeated it with air slash. 3 down
-snorlax was troublesome o_o gara had to be revived a couple times until I finally took it out with avalanche. 4 down
-to make this one short, it was a revive fest for charizard. Red used 2 full restores before I could finally take it out. 5 down
-I was easily able to defeat Blastoise, I healed until it ran out of blizzard attacks, then prepared by letting hail bring it to low hp while gara used dragon dance. finally ending the battle by using strength and thus knocking it out

Levels in the end:

Pidgeot - Pig - 57
Noctowl - Hooty - 61
Gyarados - Friend - 66
Scarmory - scare - 59
Dragonite - Dragonite - 56
-
Geodude - Geodude - 17

Completion time: 71:21

and finally,

I was planning on doing a electric monotype on kanto, but since my flying took way more time than I expected I decided to skip that all together and do what was next on my list. lets hope this will be finished before this time next year.

Update for Final Ultimate Monotype Challenge - Water!

It's been several months, so for reference, here's my last update, which was the start of the postgame.

Final Update (#7) on Black 2.

Ultimate Champion.

Spoiler:

• Eventually fought all the trainers I could, ending with the sea routes 18 and 19, where I found the Plasma Frigate.
• Defeated Colress without much trouble, although his Beheeyem was more difficult than expected.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Next I went to Undella Town, beat Tyson, my rival, then challenged Cynthia. She was tough as usual.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Continued my miniboss spree by taking down Morimoto and Nishino, who weren't too challenging.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Did some moveset finalizing (mostly replacing HM moves) and a little EV training.
• Then I got everyone to L77 and declared myself ready for Round 2 of the Elite 4.
  
• First up was Shauntal, who was handled by Kermit, Torrent, Archelon, and Aquaman.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Marshall was next, and Coby and Ruby took him out easily.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Grimsley was third, and Kermit, Torrent and Archelon did well to put him away.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The final member, Caitlin, wasn't too tough either despite some enemy electric attacks. Aquaman, Coby, and Ruby took her out.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Time for Iris's rematch team! I did lose once to Iris' Haxorus (damn Dragon Dance), but pulled it out the second time.

I have decided to open a poll for the fate of the Gen 6 Exp Share. It seems to me that X and Y do seem to be made with it in mind, but that doesn't mean it's necessary either. So I'll poll for what you guys think for the next 2 weeks, and make a decision based on the results.
