Update Time
its official i Hate Cyrus
i Absolutely HATE HIM
His pokemon Magically Grew about 4 levels from The Base to the distortion world
and somewhere along the way he magically found a Gyarados
FFFFFFFF

Ok so after being beaten for the umpteenth time i decided to grind a bit
EVEN THEN IT WAS HARD mainly that F***ing Honchkrow Stupid Flying/Dark
Did i mention i forgot my alakazam? (damn Bibarel HM slave)

Houndoom died to 2x EQs from Bronzong (for once im thankful i got Heatproof instead of levitate)
Honchkrow (after Many Many potions) died to about 8 Flash cannon's from Bronzong (damn Full Restore)
Gyarados was pretty easy i just slammed him with 2x Psybeam from Espeon and Strength from Medicham
Weavile had an unfortunate encounter with My Medicham's Foot
and finally Crobat was Annihilated by Bronzong

after about 6 ultra balls i gave up on giratina and just killed him

Compared to Cyrus Volkner was EASY
Jolteon<Earthquake
Electivire<Earthquake

I was inspired by the power of my Garbador to do a MonoType Poison Challenge. (for Black, most likely) I have a few Questions though.

Can I trade in a team of six eggs? Can I trade them to another game to use TMs? (I have 2 gameboys.)

I want Seviper to be my "starter", but he has some movepool problems that aren't fixed until BW2. A lot of my picks are from older games, and their movepools are a little lame.

Here is a list of the pokemon and TMs I want to use.

Spoiler:

Vinny's Poison Team
Crobat
---Fly
---Cross Poison
---X-Scisor
---Toxic
Skuntank
---Flamethrower / Incinerate*
---Night Slash / Pay Back
---Poison Jab / Sludge Bomb
---Dig / Rock Smash
Tentacruel
---Toxic spikes
---Surf
---Toxic
---Venoshock
Toxicroak
---Rock Smash / Brick Break*
---Sucker Punch
---Rock Slide
---Earthquake
Seviper
---Poison Tail/ Poison Jab*
---Bulldoze / Earthquake*
---Venoshock
---Flamethrower

Garbador
---Toxic Spikes
---Acid Spray
---Drain Punch
---Return

*Some attack have a weaker alternative to limit their power until the end of the game.

I would trade over six eggs, then hatch them at certain points in the game. Like Start with 2 pokemon, then add one after the third gym, adding more as I go along.

Does this still in the spirit of the MonoType Challenge yall are doing here?

The rules say you can only trade one egg in the beginning if you can't get your first pokemon early enough. For poison, the first one available is Venipede, after you get the second badge. IMO, you should be fine with trading an egg in, but generally, the pokemon you use must be one you can find in the game, and only one. The idea is to use the Pokemon in the game as your team, so as to make it a challenge.

 

[k137an]

There was a team change while I was playing!
-got treeko named privet, lot ad named reed and shroomish named mush
- mush actually soloed Roxanne with no training between the woods and the gym.
- did stuff with team aqua, beat brawly and delivered a letter, privet & reed evolved
- went to slateport, dealt with team aqua again, caught oddish called Beetroot
- did lots of grinding for may, and Watson, evolved mush, so Watson was easy
- got to fallarbour, Beetroot evolved, taught privet dig and used that to beat Flannery after beating up team aqua... Again
- did more grinding for Norman, love the speed up button on emulators, caught cacnea called cacti
- finished grinding and beat Norman
- caught Tropius named banana
- saved at the weather institute.

TEAM:

Privet, Sceptile- lv 36, moves: leaf blade, dig, screech, quick attack
Reed, Lombre- lv 34, moves: nature power, surf, ice beam, absorb
Mush, Brellom- lv 34, moves: mega drain, leech seed, Mach punch, headbutt
Beetroot, Gloom- lv 34 moves: sleep powder, sweet scent, acid, absorb

[k137an]

Second time I've had to type this today... My social life took a hard hit this weekend when I got so into my challenge that I rarely left my bedroom and as a result, have now finished the challenge! I spent a couple of hours today grinding with the blessing of the speed up button and by the time I began to fight the elite four, everyone on the team was lv 58 (because the thought of fighting Steven with grass types scared me) but in the end, it was actually extremely easy, and I felt that Steven had let me down! I started with Ludicolo, he used rain dance and surf to knock out each member of his team with ease and an ice beam to put down the cradily. Overall an extremely easy, bad match up champion for me. ;)

 

[Crackin355]

So, I'm about half way through playing the games with multi-type Pokemon (Not part of this challenge, just what I felt like doing), so I might be able to start a Water Monotype soon. Also, I'm wondering whether I should do Fire again for B2/W2.

 

[k137an]

So now I wanna do an ultimate challenge with poison types, the games I'm gonna play are:
Leaf green, Soul silver, Emerald, Platinum and White :)
Already started leaf green, have two gym badges, ivysaur named Bob, Beedrill named Jerry and Golbat named James ;)

 

[AyonZ]

Starting Water Type Monotype Challenge now.

-Attempted to leave the town for some fun, however was stopped by Professor Oak, which offered me a Pokemon.
-Got Squirtle and named him Soaked
-Javen got a Bulbasaur and challenged me to a battle.
-Won him easily.
-Went to the grass for the first time of my life.
-Kind Lady gave me a potion, appreciated it.
-Continued my adventure to the next town after training Soaked to level 7 where he learned Bubble.
-Went to heal up Bubbles at the Pokemon Centre and headed to the PokeMart as I thought I wanted some potions for the next rival battle.
-However, the woman at the counter refused to sell me anything until I had sent the Professor Oak's Parcel.
-Groaning, I went to deliver the parcel, surprisingly not encountering any pokemon in the grass :D
-Oak gave me and Javen each a Pokedex, wanting us to fill the pokedex for him .
-Went to Javen's house, got a town map from Daisy.
-Grabbed 6 potions and 3 antidotes from the Pokemart
-After stocking up, I realised it was time to challenge the Pokemon League and become the Champion.
-On the way, Javen told me we could not challenge the Pokemon league without the official 8 badges and challenged me to a battle!
-Lost because of a CRITICAL HIT -.-
-Went to challenge him again.
-Won him easily and Soaked got to level 11 too.
-Weird old man gave me a TV after he taught me how to catch a pokemon, meh he was pretty bad, just pure luck he got that weedle .
