The Ultimate Monotype Challenge

[Pave Low]

Changed types after signing-up because game crashed whilst doing Poison so gave up and changed to Water.

Water Monotype Single: Emerald

I'm not going to dwell on actually saying what my team was because I want to hop straight onto the next challenge and finish that one fairly quickly like was done with this one. The E4 took 3 times to beat simply because I rushed this challenge and they weren't the highest level, lowest being 45 (Pelipper) and highest being 58 (Swampert).

I think there is about 5-6 fighting pokemon in Sapphire so your best is going to be covering your bases, you will have a tad bit of trouble with Liza and tate but Hariyama can deal with it with surf, your next issue will be Phoebe, but having a medicham with Pure power and Shadow ball will destroy her.

thanks for the tips
also second gym now completed
team is:
Combusken 19
Makuhita 19
zigzagoon 5
i think i might go get a shroomish now so i can get a breloom but not sure if its worth it
gym 3 now complete
combusken 29
hariyama 29
zigzagoon 5

Update on my Red run of my Ultimate Normal mono.

Spoiler:

Picked Squirtle as my starter.
Did the whole beginning stuff.
Got my Pokédex.
Got Pokéballs and caught myself a Pidgey.
Reached Pewter and battled Brock after a tiny grinding session with Pidgey.
Went to Route 3 and caught a Jigglypuff then went Clefairy hunting in Mt. Moon.
Used mt. Moon to grind Jigglypuff and Clefairy.
Reqeached Cerulean, battled my Rival, took on all the trainers up to Bill's house and obtained my SS Anne ticket.
Took on Misty and won.
Caught an Oddish on the way to use as a Cut slave.
Took on the SS Anne people and grinded my team some more. Battled Rival, obtained Cut then took on Surge's Gym.
Went through the Rock Tunnel and reached Lavander Town. Used the Pokémon Tower for some more grinding.
Went on with my adventure and reached Celadon. Took on the Rockets at the game corner then took on Erika's Gym.
Got some drinks for the guards then reached Saffron. Some more Rocket Stuff happened back at Lavander, then went on and reached Fuchsia City and took on the Safari Zone challenge, getting Surf and the warden's teeh which resulted in me getting Strength too.
Spent hours in the Safari Zone trying to catch a Chansey and a Kangaskhan.
Started taking onto koga's Gym then somehow changed my mind and left for Saffron again.
Used Sliph.Co to train Kangaskhan and Chansey.
Took on Sabrina's Gym.

Went over to Cinnabar and played in the Mansion.
Took on the Gym and won my Volcano badge using Kangaskhan alone to take down Blaine.

Battled my Rival on the way to Victory Road.
Got lost inside Victory Road. Had to faint Moltres.
Eventually reached the E4 and easily won against them despite being a tad underleveled.
Battled my Rival for the last time and won after an exciting battle that involved the use of a few Revives and Full Restores.
Became Champion.

SoulSilver Ground Monotype, Update #10 - The Final Battle!

Spoiler:

-Went through Route 28 now that I have all 16 badges.
-Arrived at Mt. Silver.
-Did a tiny bit of training, even though it's still not fun.
-What's also not fun is getting Heart Scales. I got one after some unpleasant grinding, and used it to reteach Thunder Fang to Lancelot. Then another, which I used to reteach Screech to Rocky.
-After a bit more training, did some Rare Candy hunting, then had 16 and used the last of them spread across my team, except Lionel (who was my highest level at the time) and Rocky (who gains boosted EXP so I didn't feel a need to).
-Challenged the man himself, Red!

Pokémon Trainer Red overview:
Team entering the fight, listed in reverse order of when I got them: Lancelot LV64 / Leftovers - Earthquake, Roar, Stealth Rock, Thunder Fang
Lionel LV66 / Choice Scarf - Earthquake, Ice Fang, Ice Shard, Rock Slide
Gareth LV65 / Choice Specs - Double Kick, Earth Power, Fire Blast, Thunderbolt
Arcana LV66 / BrightPowder - Earthquake, Surf, Waterfall, Yawn
Rocky LV62 / Quick Claw - Earthquake, Rock Climb, Screech, Stone Edge
Marhaus LV62 / Silk Scarf - Double-Edge, Earthquake, Explosion, Stone Edge
He starts off with Pikachu while I open with Lancelot. The hail is brewing, but Lancelot's Sand Stream ability replaces it with Sandstorm, hahaha. He hits with Iron Tail, but it does just under half, while I go for Stealth Rock just to set the stage a bit. Him: 15/16 HP, Me: 131/224 HP after Leftovers recovery. He uses Iron Tail again, but I live and kill him with Earthquake. Me: 52/224 HP.
After that is…Lapras. He takes super-effective damage from Stealth Rock, but then kills me with Brine. Him: 11/16 HP. I send in Gareth and go for Choice Specs Thunderbolt, but it doesn't do that much at all and he kills me in one hit with Brine. Him: 1/4 HP. I send in Marhaus, and knowing he's gonna heal, I go for Explosion. And sure enough, he does use his Full Restore, while I use Explosion, and…he lives with a sliver of health! But the Sandstorm finishes him off.
I go for Arcana next, as he sends out Venusaur. Shoot! I use a Revive on Gareth as he kills me in one hit with Giga Drain. Him: 15/16 HP. I send in Lionel and use Ice Fang, which looks to do over half, but he uses Giga Drain again, kills me in one hit and gains massive HP in the process. Him: 7/8 or so HP. I'm thinking, how am I supposed to beat this thing?! Then I have an idea, it's risky but it might work. I send in Rocky, and he uses Giga Drain, here I am praying to god I can survive a hit. Thankfully I do, and use Screech…which hits! Keep this in mind in a little bit. Him: 15/16 HP and -2 Defense, Me: 63/192 HP. I use a Revive on Lionel as he kills me with Giga Drain. Him: 15/16 HP and -2 Defense. I send in Lionel and use Ice Fang, fingers crossed…! Thanks to the -2 Defense from Screech, it kills him.
Next up is Blastoise. Another thing i'm quite afraid of. He does take Stealth Rock damage, though. I take the turn to use a Revival Herb on Arcana as he finishes off Lionel with Focus Blast. Then I send her in, and he hits with Focus Blast while I use Yawn. Him: 3/4 HP, Me: 77/215 HP. Since i'm gonna die this turn, I use a Revive on Lionel again, then he hits with Blizzard and kills me, but then he falls asleep. I send in Gareth and, after some thinking, I use an X Speed, but if he wakes up on the second turn that X Speed will have been for nothing (this might do enough to kill him in two hits if he heals, I hope). Him: 11/16 HP, Me: 102/204 HP and +1 Speed. I use Thunderbolt, which…gets a critical hit on the first usage of the move and kills him! Nice! THAT'S what i'm talking about.
Following is Snorlax. That doesn't exactly bode well with Gareth being locked into Thunderbolt. I use a Revival Herb on Rocky before he kills Gareth with Blizzard. I send in Rocky again and use Screech while he hits with Blizzard. Him: 3/4 HP and -2 Defense, Me: 87/192 HP. I use Screech again and he hits with Blizzard again. Seriously, he hasn't missed a single time yet, which is getting a bit ridiculous. Him: 11/16 HP and -4 Defense. Now we're down to just Lionel. I send him in, and am wondering, should I attack, or Revive someone? I use a Revival Herb on Lancelot, then he uses Blizzard and misses, haha, that's what you deserve. I use Earthquake and finish him off. Lionel grows to Level 67 after that.
Finally is his Charizard, which, right off the bat takes half his health from Stealth Rock. (See why Charizard is overrated?) Since I can't attack due to being locked in with the Choice Scarf, I use a Max Revive on Arcana before he kills me with Flare Blitz. Him: 1/3 or so HP. This is it! I bring in Arcana and go for Waterfall, but he uses Air Slash, and…I FLINCH! NO, YOU RUINED THE MOMENT! Him: 1/4 or so HP, Me: 67/215 HP. I take the turn to use a Max Revive on Marhaus as he uses his Full Restore. Him: 15/16 HP. Remembering that Lionel has the Choice Scarf and Rock Slide, I use a Revive on him just for backup before Charizard kills Arcana with Air Slash. I send in Marhaus, just because he's been with me since the beginning of the adventure, to see if he can finish the job. He uses Dragon Pulse, which does more than half even with the Sandstorm, but I hit with Stone Edge, and…finish him, ending the battle.
I think I played that very well. I don't think I was too high leveled nor did I use too many Revives (used ten, but two of them didn't matter). I also liked being able to use Sand Stream to override the hail and make it so all his guys would get hurt and not mine, along with Stealth Rock. Though I did get a bit lucky with the critical hit on Blastoise, because things could have gone quite lopsided against it otherwise (although I did have Arcana to block Hydro Cannon). That Venusaur was immensely scary, and I thought it was going to sweep us! I had over 100 Revives in total, though, so I wasn't too panicked. It was one of those situations where Rocky's Screech actually helped, so i'm glad I took the time to get a Heart Scale to put it back on him! And Lapras, also, had it lived Explosion with more than just a sliver of health, he could have healed and things would have been even worse. So, the whole team played parts in this, and it was an exceptional final fight. That was amazing.

-Red left Mt. Silver without a word, and the game was saved.

Here's my final team, this time in the exact order of when I got them:

Sorry it's been so long since my last update, my DS got mixed up with my brother's stuff when we moved so I just got it back, but here goes. After defeating Morty I went back to Olivine and went through the lighthouse trashing the other trainers as I went. After speaking to Jasmine (my 4th favorite gym leader of all time) I surfed on over to Cianwood. I picked up the Mystery Potion and then trained my Pokémon for Chuck's gym including soundly defeating the Jr. Trainers and Esuine. I then fought Chuck. I had my Gengar Night Shade his Primeape into defeat before using Gloom's Mega Drain on his Poliwrath. Then I gave Jasmine the Mystery Potion before surfing back to Cianwood to train on the newly opened route. I am now preparing for Jasmine. Current team loadout: Level 31 Gengar, Level 31 Koffing, Level 31 Qwilfish, Level 31 Venomoth, Level 31 Crobat, Level 34 Gloom
