The Ultimate Monotype Challenge

[Jleggy12]

Blue down :D Really pleased with how that went, was down 20 levels on Red's Venusaur but still pulled it off :D 1st run of elite four, no faint run of Blue. I can't post pics until I've posted 15 times, but I have a couple, will update with them once I reach 15 posts :)

Onto Gold! Never finished Gold before lol, now I'm gonna do it on a monotype run. This will take longer though - I know Gens 1 and 3 really well, 4 ok, but the other 2 not at all. But hey, let's see how it goes :P

The Winning Team:

Bob the Blastoise: Lv 46
Strength/Fissure/Earthquake/Surf

Steve the Gyarados: Lv 46
Body Slam/Thunderbolt/Fire Blast/Hydro Pump

Gerald the Lapras: Lv 46
Ice Beam/Body Slam/Sing/Surf

Pete the Starmie: Lv 46
Blizzard/Water Gun/Surf/Recover

Barbara the Seaking: Lv 46
Peck/Waterfall/Surf/Horn Attack

Len the Vaporeon: Lv 45
Double-Edge/Surf/Ice Beam/Bite

Looking at you guys doing Bug runs, they look really tough, will have to try that one eventually :) I'll focus on this one for now though.

 

[Gulpin]

Well, I've decided to do another UMC. For this run, I've decided to use Ground types on LeafGreen, HeartGold, Ruby, Platinum, and Black. However, for this run I've decided to mix things up a bit by doing all of the games at once. I've divided each game into 9 parts. For LG, R, and Pt I'm doing one gym at a time and the E4 as the final segment, and for HG I'm doing two gyms at a time so I can end at the same time so I can end at the same time as the other games. For Black, I've put gyms 4 and 5 together since I have to rematch the E4 to defeat Alder. The only deviation from the plan above right now is that I won't be starting HG for a while since my sister lost my copy and I have to wait on her to find it or buy me a new one. Once I get a copy of it I'll just catch up to be even with the other games. Anyways, here is my signup:

Username: deku
Type: Ground
Challenge: Ultimate
Game(s): LeafGreen, HeartGold, Ruby, Platinum, Black

I'll do an update once I make progress in each of the games besides HG.

[HaiImNate]

Today was a good start for my fire monotype adventure on SoulSilver. Current team?

Spoiler:

Furball Lvl.30
-Fire Spin
-Cut
-Quick Attack
-Ember

HM Slave Geodude- Rock Smash

Major accomplishments today:

-Defeated Falkner, the Violet city gym leader
- Cleared the Violet city gym
-Defeated Bugsy, the Azalea cityg ym leader
- Cleared the Azalea city gym
-Defeated Whitney, the Goldernrod city gym leader
-Cleared the Goldenrod city gym
- Obtained HMs cut and Surf
-Evolved cyndaquil into a quilava

Spoiler:

My adventure started off badly. I had played forty minutes into the game and realized that I hadn't deleted my other save file, so I had to quit without saving and start all over again. This was at about 4 AM in the morning, so I waited untilI had woken up, then had started my adventure. Besides that first dissapointment, my adventure went well. I filled Professor Birch's request in record time and was on my way to Falkner's gym in no time. I cleared the gym and was advancing to the Azalea ym after about an hour and had hurriedly defeated a plethora of trainers. Unfortunately, I could not find any other fire type so I've been using Quilava the entire time. Ha, I might as well make this a solo challenge (jk). Anyways, I defeated the Azalea gym with ease, hhen proceeded to Goldenrod. I completed the quiz, and went off to the gym. I cleared the gym easily and defeated Whitney in like four turns. Haha, this adventure has been easy so ar but I know that it will get harder soon.

My current progress: I am getting close to Ecruteak town. Wish me luck!

UPDATE:

Again, I'm too lazy to upload the pics. I'll do it later.

Only been able to play for about 90 mins, but the speed button has help me accomplish a lot. From the start of Mt Moon last time, here are the highlights:

- Beat Misty, Lt Surge and Erika
- Evolved Bronto through to Venusaur with razor leaf critting everything, Rex through to Nidoking with Thrash doing wonders
- Caught an Ekans (Nagini), evolved through to Arbok but I'm kind of unsure his future usefulness
- Caught a Ghastly (Casper), and using TGB Dual evolved through to Gengar. Really good with Thunderbolt and Psychic
- Caught a Tentacool (Cruella) with the Super Rod and am training her up with the tried and true switching method
- Caught an Oddish (Root), just to be a Cut HM Slave

Just taking on Silph Co now. Gotta say, that damn Hypno on the 3rd floor is a tank, and Confusion DESTROYS me big time. had 3 semi-injured teammates fall there, requiring a heal, and I decided to take a break.

So until next time folks!
