Hoenn Grass monotype part 8.5: Some thoughts before taking on Juan, Victory Road, and the final core game challenges
badges obtained: 7/8, as well as Team Magma and Aqua finally being stopped once and for all. (OR DO THEY!?)

Before i proceed with my game, along with my posting of Screenie heavy (VBA tool based) screenshots of our awesome Hoenn grass adventure, I just want to say a couple of things that I've been wanting to say for the longest time since I started this run and put my Kanto grass run on hiatus. I have a lot to say, but i hope i'm sharing good insights for the rest of the fellow players to know. I'm doing this so you don't have to :) (but i appreciate the concerns)

Sceptile Thoughts:

Spoiler:

I finally realized why not a lot of people do play the game as Treecko into Sceptile.. its learnset is just lackluster compared to how Blaziken and Swampert grow. I mean Sceptile's last two moves aren't really good for battles (Slam, Non stab and unreliable attack (compared to what's already taken), False Swipe, his lack of solid base ATK doesn't even make it useful). At least it does have some other move options through TMs. (Then again, so does Blaziken and Swampert). I guess Breeding would help, which unfortunately wasn't in my mind when doing this run. (Even though i did get the female starter).

On the positive side, growing into Sceptile was pretty fun. His move variety on his own is during the mid levels is quite good, and he does get his signature STAB move along with it before growing into Sceptile. Thank goodness he was improved in the remakes.

I hate BATS!

Spoiler:

To those who have been following our journey, Leafa and the team has and will always have their problem with ONE particular creature: BATS. Zubats and their ilk are really annoying. Their typing heavily resists our monotype's STAB, and their own STABs wreck us hard. (My Breloom has a particular and deathly allergy to Crobat Wing Attacks). Poison/Flying types are hate inducing fiends in this monotype.

PS - Crobat's are satan against Grass monotype runs. Those who are doing their own grass monos should watch out for them, especially if your team lacks a decent sub-psychic type (Hoenn's lack of Exeggcutor is a little saddening)

Thoughts about our team
I guess i haven't really talked about my team. I was too busy hyping up our adventure for the other monorunners to read (and the fact that I'm having more fun playing Emerald (Hoenn) than FireRed (Kanto) in general... so I'll talk about them.

Asuna, the Mild Female Sceptile (Leaf Blade, Pursuit, Agility, Quick Attack)

Spoiler:

- I've previously stated my thoughts on Sceptile (and Treecko as a starter) on the previous segment of this post.

1. She's been the leader of the team as well as the devourer of SPAtk EVs, since her role is to hit as hard and as fast with Special (Magic) attacks as possible
2. As always, she's the highest level'd moemon pokemon in our team since she's the leader and the starter.
3. She's mostly been hitting things with Leaf Blade and knocking them out with at least 1 or 2 hits. Her other moves are for the purposes of dealing some chip damage or quick attacks to snipe out slow and lingering targets.
4. She has Agility just for some bit of self utility. I didn't want to have her using only attack moves.
5. She's been the Ace who duels against the other Aces, the Green Baron of our team. As most Ace pokemon used by the game's trainers have significant level differences with other mons, Asuna was needed to match up against those signature mons

.

Jippangyi, the Lax Male Breloom (Mach Punch, Sky Uppercut, Headbutt, Mega Drain)

Spoiler:

1. I was a bit of a fool to forget that Shroomish evolves into the physical force of the Hoenn Grass team. I didn't have the time to find another Shroomish of a better nature, and the other that i found was Relaxed (worse)
2. When it comes to being a mono damager, Jippangyi does his job incredibly well. Mach Punch for priority snipes and Sky Uppercut for Big Big Hits. He still has headbutt for some Neutral Damage (will be replaced with Hyper Beam), and Mega Drain for a little bit of sustain.
3. Jippangyi is basically the team's other carrier. He may be slower than Asuna but his ability to KO things quickly with his high ends of burst is what making him a key player in our team.
4. He has big issues with his typing. Grass+Fighting = dat 4x Weakness to flying. Again, he has a deathly allergy against Wing Attacks

Doreimo, the Quiet male Lombre (Surf, Ice Beam, Absorb, Fake Out)

Spoiler:

- The 1st Grass-mon we found in our journey and he's keeping up every well. I was happy to encounter him early during the beginning of our adventure and he's grown so well. He was stuck with crappy moves but was keeping up with Fake Out, a really good move.
- Once he got Surf and Ice Beam, he finally had the moves to wreck things with Fake Out. Surf being his STAB attack thanks to his part water typing was useful in dealing loads of neutral damage.
- Ice Beam, which he can legally learn as a Grass/Water type, helps against one of our dreaded types - Flying. it has been paying off so far and he're more than ready to take on Dragon types with it.
- As i mentioned about my Hatred for Bats, Doreimo's Ice Beam was the cold solution to the problem.
- He can learn Hydro Pump, which i won't bother with, since Gen 3 Surf is too OP.
- He'll eventually be stoned to reach his full stage.
- Once he gets that Nevermeltice held item, his Ice Beam will deal more damage.

Inca, the Impish Female Cradily (Acid, Confuse Ray, Astonish, Ingrain)

Spoiler:

- That Rock/Grass typing is spectacular! While it may not have as many desirable resistances as i thought it would, at least it enables us to survive against the common things that kill Grass types: Fire, Flying, and Poison. Inca's typing and the bulk really helps in tanking.
- Because of the venerable typing and the way i built Inca's EV Spreads, she is the team's primary tank. Other monsters have to try chew through her bulkiness just to deal damage against my party, but Inca's Impish Nature has done wonders as a Physical damage dealing Tank.
- Confuse Ray and Ingrain greatly helped against her slowness. Again, as a tank, she wasn't meant to be fast, but she was meant to be beefy while threatening. She's been mostly relying on move she has known as a little Lileep (Acid, Astonish, and Confuse Ray) but she's capable of hitting hard.
- I'm hoping to get a better assortment of moves for her. She's close in getting one of her signature STAB attacks, Gen 3 Ancient Power (Physical in this Gen) to finally smash Ice and Flying types.
- I'm really in-love with Cradily's bulk. I finally got the chance to play this pokemon and i'm having fun with it.

Jroooce, the Mild Male Tropius (Body Slam, Magical Leaf, Growth, Fly)

Spoiler:

• I wasn't sure on what i wanted Jroooce to be but since his Physical and Special attack stats are too similar in range, i settled him to be our team's secondary tank. He has Body Slam for Paralysis and Aimbot Magical Leaf to help deal damage as a tank, and the flying type for immunity against Ground, and advantage against Fighting
• He has the same nature as our Starter Asuna. But the nature of his base stats mean that he's going to be more of a tank
• I did give him the Fly HM which i might keep on him. Fly has its uses against certain battle conditions too, and its large base power helps.
• Tropius is one of my favorite pokemon from Gen 3, of course he had to be part of the team.

Yuri, the Sassy Male Roselia (I wanted a chick, not a Trap!) (Magical Leaf, Poison Sting, Leech Seed, Giga Drain)

Spoiler:

- For some reason, i have the obligation to not use male pokemon of those mons that i see as very feminine (Gardevoir - all of my other save files, she has always been a she). But beggars in a monotype challenge can't be choosers
- That Sassy nature is helping him survive some hits from Fire and Psychic moves that could have otherwise REKT him.
- He actually has some of the best moves among the grass mons as a Grass Type. Aimbot Leaf, Giga Drain, and leech seed to name a few.
- I'm seriously considering his EV Spreads to lean more on the mixed sweeper side (again, Gen 3 poison moves are Physical) and he can have the ATK stat to take advantage of poison on STAB
- Reason why = Grass mons are walled by Special Def Sponges. Some damage coverage will be needed other than our Breloom Jipanngyi
- I hope some people can guess why i named this male SASSY Roselia "Yuri" ;)
- Anyway, I do love the Roselia mons in general. They have surprisingly good moves.
- he's our Seeder - I've seen enough hentai where that may go.

The Boxed Grass mons:
Dots, the Relaxed Nuzleaf (from in-game Trade)

Spoiler:

- I simply do not know how Nuzleaf and Shiftry work in terms of good movesets. Even as I read SMOGON (of all sources) I'm not convinced of what i can do for him. I simply do not have the time to think more on how to raise him.
- I'm not as worried with Psychics as I was in Kanto with more than half of the Kanto grass team being part poison. Hoenn's grass mons are more diverse in typing, so I wasn't that worried of Psychics, and we have already taken care of Tate and Liza and their gym earlier with just Asuna and company.
- Raising him was counter-productive with progress unlike the rest of the party. It was more rewarding to raise Doreimo when he was a little Lotad (which suffered from its own early-game hell)

Nozomi, the Lax Gloom

Spoiler:

- I already have a Gloom in my Kanto (FireRed Throwback) monotype run. It also doesn't help that Oddish for some reason found its way to Hoenn (and its even a pestering existence in Johto!).
- Simply put, I had enough of Oddishes unless I get in the mood for it to do the same role as it is doing in my FireRed Kanto Grass team (Energizer = Sunny Day)
- Maybe he'll be back to tag along with the team in facing off the Elite Four as stall and bait.

Other thoughts:
-Ever since my university's 3rd Term has started, I've not been making any progress with my FireRed Throwback Kanto run. I just thought in the last minute that Kanto's Elite four, two of their members heavily resist and counter Grass types (Agatha and Lance) and Kanto Rival Kirito's Charizard has been unfun to deal with. Its basically RNG if my Executtor's Quick Claw Explosion would work before that monster spits Flamethrower and sweeps my team. Its basically just some EXP Grinding till at a certain level, my Executtor with Explosion and Quick Claw could knockout Charizard or not.

- Not that I'm |)1ck riding Hoenn and its games, but I'm just having way more fun in Emerald than I was in FireRed (Kanto). I still remember the HELL i put through in my past monotype challenge in that region (Lighting Monotype, which to be honest was won because Zapdos, a non-banned legendary was there to carry everyone to salvation, especailly against the hellspawn Rhydon!).

 

[Hann]

Update #1: Bug - Fire Red
Defeating Brock was a pain, but I got through it eventually. What comes after is kinda easy, though I really wish I hadn't chosen Bulbasaur, because I can already tell that Gary's Charizard is gonna be hell.

Hoenn Grass monotype update part 9: All Badges acquired and POKERUS

The Story so far:

Final showdown with Team Aqua and Archie.

Spoiler:

- Inca vs Mightyena: Archie's Doge doesn't know what Swagplay is. Its swaggers kept making Inca stronger.
- Eventually, thanks to those off-chance Acid shreds enemy's DEF, that along with the Swaggers we got, made Inca strong enough to KO that Doge.

VS Crobat

- Dear lord, I thought that Maxie's Crobat was the last we have seen of this demonic fiend.
- Doreimo, the Lombre, must take him on. He has Ice Beam
- Unfortunately, Crobat was really fast. His wing attack dealt horrifying amounts of damage, but Doreimo somehow survived.
- One more ice beam and finally, FINALLY! Good Riddance to any Crobat encounters ever.

VS Sharpedo
- Jippangyi, our ever powerful Breloom stepped up to face Archie's Ace. One Sky Uppercut later, Team Aqua was finally defeated.

Archie decides to be a jerk and try summon Kyogre, but of course it fails.

Aftermath with Archie

Spoiler:

- Steven = always and will ever be the coolest male champion ever.
- Caught a sableye because Wynaut?
- Awoke Rayquaza from its beauty sleep. Obviously cranky. It tells Groudon and Kyogre to shut up. (RQ: MY MEGA EVO SELF IS BANNED IN UBER! SCRUBZ! 1v1 ME RUST!)
- Rayquaza, Emerald's version mascot finally saves the day, and we get to tackle the last and final gym.

BUT FIRST! Training and Sidequests!

What happened:
While tackling on Wattson's little sidequest...

Perhaps it may be a blessing, or a sign of monotype trolling. Asuna has contracted POKERUS from a wild Voltorb in New Mauville! She has infected all of the party with Pokerus as well. Remember what happens when idol groups share too much of their belongings with each other? yeah pokerus...

After fooling around, it was finally time to tackle the last gym. And yes, this being a grass monotype, obviously was the easiest gym after Roxanne.

VS Sootopolis Gym (or the fangirls)
- Ransacked those ladies of their cash and their dignity as devoted fan girls.

VS Juan

Luvdisc:

Spoiler:

- Started with Asuna vs Luvdisc. I always hated fighting Juan's Luvdisc because of its silly status effects: Attract and Lovely Kiss (Infatuation and Confuse?), basically trolling any male mons to cover up for its terrible stats.
- Leaf Bladed that thing. I didn't want it to cause any problems.

Sealeo:

Spoiler:

- VS Sealeo = This was the funniest part of the match. I let Inca fight him.
- Sealeo kept using Aurora Beam after Aurora Beam even after a confuse ray. Basically being confused wasn't on his dictionary
- I didn't want Inca to get downed.. i used so much of my Hyper Potions just to let her live. Eventually I forced Juan to use his Hyper Pot on Sealeo.
- After a few minutes, the battle of attrition was over. Sealeo was down when confuse ray decided to favor me this time.
- Juan, having enough, sent out Kingdra. I sent out Asuna.

Kingdra:

Spoiler:

- Sent out after Sealeo being downed.
- Leaf Blade dealt 50% of his health. Our EV Training with Asuna was paying off. Obviously not even Kingdra's notorious typing couldn't resist the natural weakness of water against grass.
- Kingdra used double team, trying to annoy the hell out of me. He had Ice Beam... but i guess..
- Sorry Kingdra, but Leaf Blade is at 100 Accuracy, not 90 or any more less. One more to tag him down.

Whiscash:

Spoiler:

- Sent out Yuri (Roselia) to try abuse what it is very weak against, our monotype. and he needed some action.
- He had the level advantage over Yuri, and got the first move with Earthquake of all moves!
- Luckily, Yuri survives the hit, and gets Whiscash with Magical Leaf.. 4x damage..

Crawdawnt:

Spoiler:

- Sent out Jippangyi to easily smack it down.
- One Sky Uppercut later...

With Juan defeated, we have all 8 Hoenn League badges. Victory Road and the Elite Four are upon us!

Once i'm ready, I'll battle the Elite Four and Champion in SET. This will spice up the challenge and the fun we have been experiencing.

Hoenn Grass monotype update 10: Growth and really near the finale:

Here's our team. I decided to post a picture of them, and the probable final lineup I'll be using to face the Elite Four and Champion (Wallace). If anyone's still wondering whats with the sprites? My Pokemon Emerald game is patched with Moemon.

Moves: As i said, I NEVER lie about my pokemon's movesets. I always tell the truth about the movesets.
Asuna: Leaf Blade, Pursuit, Agility, Quick Attack
Doreimo: Surf, Fake Out, Absorb, Ice Beam
Jippangyi: Mach Punch, Sky Uppercut, Headbutt, Mega Drain
Inca: Ancient Power, Acid, Confuse Ray, Ingrain
Jroooce: Magical Leaf, Fly, Synthesis, Hidden Power - Fighting
Yuri: Magical Leaf, Giga Drain, Leech Seed, Hidden Power - Ice
Moves in bold indicate which pokemon gets STAB with it, italics are moves that deal a status condition

Actually, I played around with Hidden Power through the wonderful power of soft reset and a friendly Kechleon near Route 120 to see what Hidden Powers did our Pokemon have:
Asuna - Ground, Jippangyi - Grass , Inca - Fire. Its somewhat sad for me to not have the HP types that I may have wanted for Asuna, Jippangyi, and Inca to get since the types of their HPs do not match well with their Current Stats. But Jroooce and Inca were the two lucky fellows to earn their good Hidden Powers.

Pre-Final Thoughts about the team and their future:

Spoiler:

Asuna has the simplest form of Special ATK Brute Force in the team, given that she has the highest SPATK in our team, 192 SPATK at lvl56. Her Leaf Blade slices and dices whatever doesn't resist it, and her 2 other moves are for the purpose of dealing some damage against other types. Agility is there as her main steroid as she cannot learn the Calm Mind TM. And given her really high speed Stat as well, +2 Agility enables her to outspeed most threats and sweep. Figuring that she needs another move with strong base power, i thought that i would eventually give her the Dragon Claw TM to make her work against any other pokemon, especially against Dragons. Since Pre Gen 4 Dragon type moves run off Special Attack, that Dragon Claw TM would be a perfect addition to her kit.

Doreimo has the best moveset Variety among the team in terms of what he can do. Fake Out to insta-flinch strong threats, Surf for STAB Water damage, Ice Beam to defeat Flying, Other Grass, and Dragon Types. He still has absorb in his kit but thats for his sustain. He pretty much has his final moveset unless i plan to replace that Absorb into some better move or Hidden Power but I'm more than happy with Doreimo's ability to defeat type weaknesses thanks to that Ice Beam.

Jippangyi is as i mentioned earlier, the physical force of the team. He's the physical glass cannon that we all need. While he doesn't have the most type variety on his attacks, he has enough physical power to pretty much do what he's supposed to do, deal tons of damage. A STAB Priority attack is really amazing as it helps save Sky Uppercut on far stronger threats.

Inca is the tank that we love. She may not have that much power, but she has the stats to make her low base power moves still hurt while tanking as many hits as possible thanks to her venerable typing. Since Recover, a godly move, requires breeding, and seeing that it took me forever to raise that Lileep, i decided to not bother getting it and sticking to Ingrain, as the gradual regeneration is okay by regular playthrough standards.

Jroooce's EV Spreads have been messed up because I was too fascinated that he got Fighting type as a Hidden Power. Originally, i EV Trained him with SpecialAttack but suddenly I thought that him going to Mixed attacker route might be viable for this playthrough, Sadly, Tropius does not have the best stats, despite it being one of my favorite Gen 3 pokemon. But I would rather have him than my old Oddish anyway.

Yuri the Roselia. Just wow: Magical Leaf, Leech Seed, Giga Drain, and Hidden Power Ice? He may just have the best moveset among the team. Leech Seed to seed down threats, 2 Strong STAB attacks with different purposes, and Ice as a Hidden Power to take care of Flying, Dragon, and other Ice types? Her kit allows for some great type coverage, almost in the same level or may be even better than that of Asuna. I was planning to give her the Sludge Bomb TM but since Roselia has way more Special Attack than Physical to make Poison moves work, I didn't bother.

I decided to keep up with my progress. Anyway, the story so far:
- Battled' Wally and sent him packing. By the time he tried to challenge us once again, our mons were already too strong for him to handle.
- got the effort ribbons to all of my favorite mons. The efforts in making sure their stats are alright have paid off.
- cleared Victory Road thanks to 2 great HM Slaves: A Kechleon i aptly named Serebu (Slave), and a Clamperil with ALL the water based HM moves.
- Victory Road's Ace Trainers bowed down to Leafa and her (our) army. Asuna, Jippangyi, Doreimo, and Inca really toppled whoever was on the way.
- Effort Ribbons earned on Asuna, Jippangyi, Doreimo, and Inca. Jroooce and Yuri are to be further trained until they get their effort ribbons.

Although victory road was cleared, training was still needed. But I do not plan to overtrain all of my pokemon to overlevel the Champion Wallace. I plan to battle the Elite 4 and Champion at the appropriate levels to even up the scales, and i plan to battle all 5 on SET.

Now since i'm so near to this region's end point, I decided to finally put this on Hiatus once Jrooce and Yuri reach appropriate levels. I should resume the region that I've dreaded to go back playing, Kanto's FireRed Throwback Grass monotype run!

 

[FeralSlaaneshi]

I'm interested in doing a monotype challenge on X using Poison types. I've never really done a challenge on the games before, and I think the one I need is 'single'?
Can someone please explain the difference between the challenge modes?
Additionally, I'm hoping to actually *start* with a Poison type ASAP. Is that a thing that I can do without ruining the challenge from the start (I was hoping to get a Gastly off Omega Ruby to start the challege with on X) or will I have to wait until Route 5 for Gulpin?
(Will edit post accordingly)

Forum User Name: FeralSlaaneshi
Pokémon Type: Poison
Challenge Mode: Single
Game(s): X

 

[Volga]

Can someone please explain the difference between the challenge modes?

Single is what you are doing, one game.
Ultimate is going through each region once, so 6 games for most types
5 for Steel and Dark (Kanto is not needed)
2 for Fairy (Only Kalos and Hoenn are needed)

An example of an ultimate is like what I'm doing.
I'm doing Poison on Red (Kanto), Crystal (Johto), Alpha Sapphire (Hoenn), Platinum (Sinnoh), Black (Unova), and X (Kalos)

Is that a thing that I can do without ruining the challenge from the start (I was hoping to get a Gastly off Omega Ruby to start the challege with on X) or will I have to wait until Route 5 for Gulpin?

Be sure to read the rules carefully.
You will have to wait until you get Gulpin. Like rule 2 states:

2. A Pokémon of your type must be obtained before you earn your second badge. If this is impossible in your game, you may hack or trade a single Non-Legendary Pokémon of your type within your region's Pokédex. See below for a list of qualifying challenges. No hacking is permitted otherwise. Any hacked Pokemon must be 100% legal by the Trade Corner definition. Hacking or trading items into your game is never permitted. Before you obtain the first Pokémon of your type, you may only use your starter Pokémon.

- Defeated Vince in battle , although squirtle was so damn cute i felt bad
- Got prof.oaks delivery for him, was given pokeballs
- Had our first encounter with a potential teammate outside of town, pidgey
- named them Yuki, started training them right away

- caught her and named her Rima, did some more training so she could catch up
- met vince and defeated him in battle on route 22
- found a caterpie while travelling though viridian forest, tried to catch it since butterfree is part flying type
- was terrified Yuki would knock it out, but he left it with just enough hp to capture
- named my new teammate Freya

Geodude:
Freya took it down with confusion attacks, taking minimul tackle damage and saving the rest of the team a lot of trouble
Onix:
Onix unfortunately wiped Freya out with just one rock tomb, i didnt think either rima or Yuki would stand much of a chance against it, so it was up to Yang to finish the job, however his metal claw missed and he got hit with a critical hit from rock tomb and fainted the rest of the battle went predictably. We got wiped.

- it was apparent we needed to grind a little more to overcome our weakness.
- pushed everyone to lvl 15 and challenged brock again

>>Brock rematch<<

Spoiler:

Geodude:
Once again Freya took down Geodude with 2 confusions and no damage, sparing the team any troubly from this particular poke

Onix:
Decide to start straight off with Yang this time, we survived our first rok tomb this time and was lucky enough onix missed with the second, Yang knocked its hp down to half before falling to the stony beast.
Freya re-entered the battle, decided we needed to use some tactics, used her stun spore on the opponant granting us more opportunities for confusion attacks. Luckily we survived yet another rock tomb from the spammer with a horrific 9 hp, yet luck remained on our side when onix became confused as a side effect of our onslaught. Unfortunatly the opponant prevailed despite its status impairments and knocked Freya out
Sent out Yuki to mop up the last of its hp and to collect on that juicy exp

Spoiler:

- Finally earnt the boulderbadge from brock
- was finally given running shoes yay!
- Yang evolved into a charmeleon, one step closer to being a flying type!
- entered mt.moon and found a zubat, but yui accidently crit hit it. dang.
- encountered another and Shado the zubat joined the team
- Yuki evolved into Pidgeotto while helping Shado level!
- had the sudden realisation that gyarados counted as a water/flying type, decided one would be a good addition to the team
- due to lack of fishing rod, brought a magikarp from some shady guy in a pokecentre outside of mt.moon
- named my over-priced magikarp Lanna, time for a very long training session...
- trained Lanna from lvl 5 to lvl 14 before focusing on catching Shado up again

Update on Alpha Sapphire Poison run. Went through the route connecting to Petalburg. Went through Capture tutorial with Wally. Proceeded onto the next route soundly beating most of the trainers. Entered the Petalburg Woods and beat the trainers there. Intercepted the Aqua Grunt and after defeating his Poochyena my Cascoon evolved into Dustox. Proceeded to beat the other trainers on my way to Rustboro. Then took out the trainers at both the Gym and on the Route connecting to the cave East of Rustboro. Around this time my Dustox had hit level 16. I then took on Roxanne and won, although not without Dustox taking a brutal pounding. Got back the Devon parts, saved Peecko, got a ride to Dewford Island. Once there I went to the cave and caught a Zubat. Went to get the Old Rod and caught a Tentacool. Now training my team for taking on Brawly.

So, I just finished my LeafGreen MonoNormal run. Here's some images.

Spoiler:

Before any of you judge me, yes, I name my rival and player the same.

I had a little trouble with the Lorelei and Bruno but once I got over them, the rest were pretty easy. Although I did grind up a little since Pidgeot and Persian are not really performing as well as I thought they would. Anyway, final team. Levels are in the image above.
