Update for Final Ultimate Monotype Challenge - Water!

And now, my final Unova monotype has started, with Water-types!

Update #1 on Black 2.

Name: Devin
Rival: Tyson
Starter: Oshawott

• First I activated Challenge Mode, then started the game.
• Picked Oshawott as my starter and named him Torrent, as I have all my water starters in every region in this UMC.
• Defeated Tyson easily thanks to a crit Tackle, then continued on to the beginning parts of the game.
  
  
  

• Defeated Tyson again at Floccesy Ranch, then helped the owner find his missing Herdier.
  
  
  

• Went to the Aspertia City gym, where I took on Cheren, and Torrent was able to survive with the help of an Oran Berry.
  
  
  

• Next I "traded" in an egg with Tirtouga in it (version exclusive to BW), then did a bunch of running around while doing the Funfest Mission "Collect Berries!" multiple times.
• Eventually, the egg hatched into Archelon the Tirtourga!
  
  
  

• Started making my way to Virbank City, training up Archelon as I went. When I arrived, I headed to the Virbank Complex.
• Defeated all the trainers there, and Torrent evolved into Dewott!
  
  
  

• Then I challenged the Virbank City gym, where Archelon defeated Roxie pretty easily with Rollout.
  
  
  

• Saved the game just before heading to the Pokéstar Studios.

Team Devin:

Archelon the Careful Tirtouga, ♂ - L19 @ Pecha Berry (poof!)
Ability: Solid Rock

Okay, so it's been a long while since my last update, I kinda took a long break from playing. Anywho, I think I just beat Claire last time. This time, I just beat the Elite Four and the Champion, woohoo! The entire Elite Four was pretty easy. Lance was obviously a bit more trouble, but it was a really fun match, and Jumpluff proved its worth a thousand times. After his first Dragonite took out my Gyarados on my attempt to set up a few Dragon Dances, so I could sweep him, Jumpluff stepped in and Leech Seeded the mofo to death. Dammit, I ****ing love Jumpluff! Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, Substitute, and every single hater goes down. I sent out Gyarados against Charizard, (having had plenty of time to heal up my entire team while Jumpluff was hiding safely behind his substitute) set up a few Dragon Dances and swept the rest of his team clean with Gyarados. It was beautiful.

Here's my team so far:

Update for Final Ultimate Monotype Challenge - Water!

Update #2 on Black 2.

• Visited the Pokéstar Studios, then defeated the Plasma Grunts.
• Got a boat ride from Pop Roxie to Castelia City.
• Did a little exploring around the city, then headed into the Castelia Sewers with Hugh to defeat Team Plasma.
• Hugh then gave me the Strength HM, and I went into the grass that was now acessible.
• Caught Aquaman the Eevee, as well as a Cottonee to trade later.
• Aquaman won't be evolving until I get to the next city, so I didn't train him up much, as I wanted him learn Aurora Beam (L21).
• Battled all the trainers in the Sewers, the Battle Co., and the few trainers on Route 4 that were available.
• Took on the gym, and after a lot of resets, Leavanny missed with Razor Leaf, and Archelon Rollout'd to victory.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Went to Route 4, where I defeated Colress with ease.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Traded the Cottonee I caught earlier for Petulia the Petilil and snagged the Power Anklet she was holding.
• Continued on through Join Avenue to Nimbasa City, and grabbed the Sun Stone to evolve Petulia into Lilligant.
• Went to the Battle Subway and played a round of Multi Train (using Petulia and Torrent) with Rosa in order to buy a Water Stone.
• Used it on Aquaman, and he evolved into Vaporeon!
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Took on good amount of time to defeat all the trainers on Route 4, the Desert Resort, Routes 5 and 16, and in Lostlorn Forest.
• Finally I went through the old gym and then the new gym, ending at Elesa.
• Aquaman did a lot of damage here with Aurora Beam, and then Torrent finished off Zebstrika with Revenge.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Saved the game directly after I got out of the gym.

Team Devin:

Aquaman the Bold Vaporeon, ♂ - L32 @ Leftovers

[qw13]

Crystal part is over! It is time for Emerald. But first, it is final team time! Pokemon are listed from most useful to least useful.

Spoiler:

Rai Jr was the best pokemon of Johto. He got good moves early and was a beast. I was planning to keep him as Pikachu and use Light Ball but he turned out to be weak so I evolved him with the thunderstone I got from Bill's grandpa. Sweet Kiss and Thunder Wave combo that he got while he was still a Pichu was so useful. I used it against Blue's Rhydon (Lanturn was knocked out) , Red's Pikachu and Snorlax and it trolled them. Thunderbolt was a beast move at early game. Totally MVP.

Conductor dealed with all Rock-Ground-Fire types in the game. He soloed and OHKOed all of Brock, Misty and Blaine's Pokemon, gave me Surf and was powerful with Thunder Wave-Confuse Ray combo which I also had on Rai Jr.

In Kanto, his father was LVP, but electric-steel combination is just too powerful. It could take any type of Pokemon expect for Rock. Only problem was his limited moveset of Electric type moves. Zap Cannon had 5 PP but was still powerful and he took Snorlax after Rai Jr died by outPP'ing it and Toxic+Flash trolling.

My starter in Johto, and was good. His FirePunch was counter against Grass types and Light Screen was good against Blue's Alakazam and Red's Espeon.

He was a bit late but helped much with Venusaur. Coming late was the only bad thing but he was outshined by the others.

His father was MVP in Kanto but he didn't turn out to be the Pokemon I guessed he would be. Wonder why he has Pink Bow even though he has no Normal moves? Because he was stuck with crappy Quick Attack until he learned Thunder at LEVEL 52. I am really disappointed with him. Sorry but you are LVP.

I was playing with breeding thing and Pharaoh got an egg with a Ditto I randomly caught and a Shiny Mareep came out of it. Too bad Gen 2 games can't trade with Gen 3 games. But I'm probably going to hack a shiny Mareep in after game in Emerald.

[Crackin355]

Oh boy, I haven't updated in forever. I remember currently being in Johto going for the 7th badge. The reasons I have not been playing it is because lately I've been buying new games like crazy and I always have something to play since the last 4 games I've bought (Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Graces f & Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch) are 40 hour games that have to be replayed to get 100%. So when I finish the next 20 hours of Graces f and actually start Ni No Kuni, I will probably get back to this. Maybe. I can't guarantee I will but I hope I will.

Platinum - Flying Monotype

Been debating whether to do a normal or flying monotype for like ages on this game. Cuz either way I'll get me a Staraptor and Togekiss, but that leaves the rest of the team to figure out. Le sigh. Staraptor and Togekiss are awesome. So a quarter was flipped and landed on Flying. Defeated Roark, but took forever to train. Ended up at level 23 before I could beat him, mostly because I was blindly training and didn't pay attention. :B

Alrighty, my first steps into Kanto! Had to spend a fair amount of time at the Pokéathlon's Speed course with Crobat, Jumpluff and Yanmega in order to save up some points for a Shiny Stone and a Heart Scale. After evolving Togetic, I took Gyarados to the Battle Frontier, trashed the Frontier Brain of the Battle Hall and earned enough BP to teach Jumpluff Seed Bomb. I then took the ferry to Vermillion City, where Lt. Surge proved disappointingly easy. His Raichu allowed me to set up a few Dragon Dances with Gyarados, then I swept the rest of his team with Earthquake. Sabrina was a bit of a *****, but nothing Yanmega couldn't handle. Erika was a joke.

Here's my team so far:
