Heracross Lv.40

Update 5:

Bug Monotype on Fire Red

Yep, took a while to get to Fuchsia, but I made it. Tower in Lavender Town was annoying but got through it and received the Poke Flute which let me wake up the Snorlax blocking the path to Fuchsia. Caught a Venonat on the way, to add to the Bug team, making my 4th spot in the roster. Koga was quite easy with the Sleep Powder-Confusion combo on Butterfree, however Muk was incredibly bulky and took like 30 mins to defeat, but did it in the end.

Update on Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Psychic).

Update #3 on White 2.​

• Went to Route 23 and got the Colress Machine, then made my way through Seaside Cave to the Plasma Frigate.
• After Ruby got to L52 and learned Hydro Pump, I used a Water Stone to evolve it into Starmie!
• Solved the puzzle, then defeated Zinzolin and Colress before meeting with Ghetsis.
• Ghetsis ran away, so I went to the Giant Chasm where the Frigate was.
• Solved the puzzle again, then headed into the inner cave.
• Ghetsis and N had a nice scene with Kyurem turning into White Kyurem, who was defeated by Gemini.
• Took on Ghetsis, who was a tough customer, but eventually prevailed with Nazca.
• Time to go to Victory Road, but before that, i grabbed Waterfall from N at the gate, then headed to the Abudant Shrine.
• Caught my final team member, Liberty the Bronzor.
• 1 level later, Liberty evolved into Bronzong!
• Continued leveling Liberty up on trainers I skipped before Victory Road, then headed into the mountain.
• Got through Victory Road after beating Ren with a pretty weakened team.
• Did some moveset editing, then took on the Elite Four.
• Started with Marshall, who was taken out by Gemini, Ruby, and Astrodoll.
• Caitlin was defeated by Gemini and Nazca.
• Grimsley was beaten by Ruby, Nazca, Limey, and Astrodoll.
• And finally, Shauntal was defeated by Limey, Liberty, Astrodoll, and Ruby.
• Then it was time to face Iris, the Champion. Here's a video and play-by-play of the battle.

And now for my final update of my entire Grass monotype challenge. After my last update I went and got a few TM's from the other side of Unova (such as Energy Ball, Psychic, and Thunderbolt) to teach to my team members to make them more versatile for the upcoming challenge. Once I got my move sets figured out I spent the majority of the day Audino grinding my entire team to level 77, which in hindsight may have been overkill for the E4, but it did come in handy against the Champion. I then flew to the Elite 4 and saved my game before the final small leg in my challenge. I took on the Elite 4 in the same order as last time: Marshall, Grimsley, Caitlin, then Shauntaul. I barley survived my fight against Marshall, but the battles did become increasingly easier. Once I defeated all of them I went on to take on the Champion, Alder. He was difficult. It took a few tries and some good luck to finally defeat him. Because of all of his Bugs and their effectiveness against me I relied on luck to get through him. I used Ferrothorn and Gyro Ball to get rid of Accelgor, but Volcarona gave me a run for my money. Once I took down Volcarona using a majority of my team, I was able to defeat Druddigon with slightly more ease. Next I easily took out Bouffalant and Vanilluxe with Sawsbuck, who was one of my final team members standing. To defeat Escavalier I had to rely on comstantly reviving Sawsbuck, Ferrothorn, and Leavanny and inflicting damage with Sawsbuck's Jump Kick and Ferrothorn's ability. Escavalier finally fell many revives later from the damage inflicted by Ferrothorn's Iron Barbs. And that was it. This long challenge, which I started in early August, ended. Here is my final team:

Serperior / Lv78 / Leaf Blade, Strength, Aerial Ace, Hidden Power (Ice)

Leavanny / Lv79 / X-Scissor, Leaf Blade, Shadow Claw, Poison Jab

Whimsicott / Lv78 / Psychic, Shadow Ball, Energy Ball, Hurricane

Sawsbuck / Lv78 / Jump Kick, Faint Attack, Horn Leech, Megahorn

Ferrothorn / Lv78 / Power Whip, Thunderbolt, Gyro Ball, Bulldoze

For this final leg of the challenge I decided to name Sawsbuck MVP for its versatility. However, Ferrothorn came in a very close second and Whimsicott and Leavanny in a close tie for third. I felt that all of my team performed very well except for Serperior, whose stats don't really match any play style that I like to use.

✔Pokemon Blue Version

✔Pokemon Silver Version

✔Pokemon Sapphire Version

✔Pokemon Diamond Version

✔Pokemon Black Version

Type: Grass

 

[Umbreon3055]

I was wondering, can I do my challenge backwards/out of order? Because I am already over halfway through my unova section, and that is what I started on. I wouldn't like to start again, but is it ok?

 

[Gulpin]

Previously, it was required that these regions be completed in chronological order, but that just seems silly to me. From now on, you may complete the challenges in whatever order you desire.

This should answer your question ^^;

Water-type Challenge (Johto): Update 1​

Bobby (my rival) was HORRIBLE...until I taught Fury Cutter to Godzilla. Well anyways, Whitney was soloed by Ralph's (HerpDerp from the previous post) and his Dig, which saved him from a couple of Rollout's and a Sky Attack from Clefairy. O_O Morty was a team effort from Floopy and Ralph, poor Floopy got KO'd by Shadow Ball from Gengar. Taught Floopy Shadow Ball just before I saved. I wonder what's in the odd egg...

Up Next:
-Catching a Marill and later a shiny Gyarados as party members.
-Finding a Good Rod to fish for Chinchou with.
-Defeating Chuck, Jasmine, and possibly Pryce

If anyone cares about the story that I made up for my UMC's, check this spoiler

Spoiler:

The Story: 17 special people ended up being chosen to be Type Masters! (don't freaking know why) They are sent to 5 regions (via something along the lines of the Animus for Assassin's Creed, like Animi Avatars) to train and conquer the specific regions with their selected type.
(Brooke: The Chosen Water-type Master) She started with Johto, which is irregular for Type Masters to do, usually starting in Kanto. Ever since finding out about Suicune, she has wanted to capture it, but cannot use it. (A little rule I made for myself: You may capture minor legendaries if they correspond to the type, but DO NOT USE.)

The Legend Begins...

Sawsbuck / Lv78 / Jump Kick, Faint Attack, Horn Leech, Megahorn

I felt that all of my team performed very well except for Serperior, whose stats don't really match any play style that I like to use.

[ScubaDouch3]

I realize that Ice is one of those types that are pretty rare early, but the rule only allows you to hack in one Pokemon in the event that your type can't be found before the third Gym. But hacking 4 is a little excessive, especially since most of those can be caught before the E4. Sneasel is certainly a good choice for your hack, since he can only be found at Mt Silver. But I gotta ask you to stop using 3 of your hacked mons. If you go to Olivine right away you can get a Good Rod and catch a Shellder for your party. The other two you have to wait to catch. Sorry.

Hey no worries man I was already planning on boxing everyone except for Sneasel anyway, once I got to Goldenrod(before I beat Whitney, by the way) I finally clicked in that you can only hack in 1 Pokemon. Sorry about that, it's my first mistake, though I knew I would make one eventually XD

So I guess that means my team now consists of:

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Sly Lv.22(Male)

Moves:Headbutt
Ice Punch
Quick Attack
Screech

When I play again I'll head to Olivine to grab a Shellder then continue from there. Oh, and again NecrumWarrior, sorry about all this.
