The Ultimate Monotype Challenge

[Griffinbane]

Ground monotype - SoulSilver

After hours of running around Victory Road trying to bring Mamoswine to the same level as Golem and Quagsire, I went raiding the E4 and won. Oddly enough, I had the most difficulty against Koga while Lance went down extremely easy. Cubone, unfortunately, is the same level as when I caught it. I'll have to spend all my time in Kanto bringing him up to speed. :(

Lv. 53 Golem - Strength|Earthquake|Stone Edge|Explosion
Lv. 55 Quagsire - Waterfall|Strength|Amnesia|Earthquake
Lv. 53 Mamoswine - Avalanche|AncientPower|Strength|Earthquake
Lv. 16 Cubone - Tail Whip|Bone Club|Headbutt|Leer (derp)

"Happy Birthday, Monotype Challenge!"

I'll be adding a Houndour to my Dark-Mono playthrough of Emerald, speaking of, here's an update:

Ultimate Dark-Mono Challenge: Emerald

- Started the game, caught a "Poochyena" just until I catch a "Sableye" then I'm dropping it

- Trained Useless until it learned Bite, then beat Roxanne for the

Stone Badge

- Went to Dewford and caught a Sableye, then dropped Useless off in my PC

- After a bit of training, challenged and easily beat Brawly for the

Knuckle Badge

- Went to Slateport, beat Team Aqua, beat May, then arrived in Mauville and had an okay fight with Wattson for the

Dynamo Badge

- Skipped all the way to Meteor Falls, then came back around and beat Team Magma

- Went south to Lavaridge and beat Flannery for the

Heat Badge

------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I guess I'll hack in my Houndour and catch my Cacnea when I play again.

Happy Birthday, Monotype Challenge! ^-^

But I still won't hack anything in xD
I abused the previous event enough as is so don't want to abuse this one as well xD

 

[SubVirus]

Happy Birthday, Monotype Challenge!
I'll be hacking in a Bulbasaur for Liquid Crystal it will be level 1 and be as if hatched from an egg (no special moves or whatever... no stats edits... just entered into the game via gameshark as a random encounter forced to be as the next encounter)
Anyways I completed FireRed here are some pics

Spoiler:

I've got to say though.... doing it so underleveled cost me a LOT of revives/hyper potions. I spent probably 30 Revives on my Rival alone. I had to revive through Psychic until it ran out of PP lol. (thank god that it does run out in this game)
MvP is definitely Gengar... he was a BEAST and had the highest SP.Attack
Whelp. On to the next game.

 

[Thebeast21799]

Wow, its been a while, eh (got my psn back online, so, yeah). Finally, here is my 3th Update for Johto. Sleeping near a cave is not easy, espically with zubats hanging out near. After a lot of annoyance from Zubats, my Pokemon decide they had enough. I couldn't argue with them, and besides that, time passed by fast. Going through Union Cave was easy, although I did lose some PP. The hiker outside of the Union Cave almost fainted Loyal, but with careful switching, the hiker went down. In Azalea Town, there was nothing to do, even the gym was blocked off, but I heard of a someone named Kurt, who made Pokeballs apricons (I think that what they are :p). I honestly headed over there to see if he could give me some donuts. Apparently, he was more worried about the slowpokes that were missing than food, then mentioned Team Rocket. >:( That got me worked up, no wonder the Slowpoke Well was blocked off, but now they have purple hair. Heading over to Slowpoke Well, I kicked rocket ass and Kurt took me back to his house. He did have donuts after all. >:) That guy blocking the gym even left. The gym, well, that is self-explanitory. Loyal solo'd Bugsy, it was that easy. However, my rival's a different story. Derp wanted to know where Team Rocket was, and when I told him the truth, he said I lied and challenged me. Tyson fainted to Croconaw after defeating Gastly. Loyal almost fainted as well, but with a critical hit bite and a bit of flinch hax, Croconaw went down. With healing, Loyal defrated Zubat, with some difficultly, Confusion hax is quite annoying, is it not. Finally, Derp was brought down after an exhausting battle. Finally, I chased a Farfetch'd back to its owner, obtaining Cut. Caught a Sandshrew because Rattata fails at what I'M intended him to do. Oh well, and happy birthday, but no hacking for me, as it is kinda unfair and takes some fun away. That is just my prespective. Anyway, my current party is: Tyson the Quilava(M) Lvl.18 with: Tackle, Leer, Smokescreen, and Ember; and Loyal the Growlithe(M) Lvl.17 with: Bite, Roar, and Ember. Any moveset suggestions are always welcome, and good luck to anyone attempting this challenge. See you later. :) Oh, and here's another thing: I still have an account on my black 2, and I just started ev training a Speed Boost Blazekin :D. I'll eventually have a team ready, so if anyone wants to battle me one day, I can give you my friend code. :D Anyway, yeah, see you later. :)

 

[WarriorCat]

Happy Birthday, Monotype Challenge! :)

I'm only going to take advantage of this on Black 2 for Deino (I don't want to wait 'til Victory Road).
I'm going to trade it in from my Storage White 2 at the same time as Larvitar (I already got Necrum's approval on this), both as Eggs.

Dark Update 2: Emerald 5/8

Here's my team so far:

Spoiler:

Flannery is so annoying, I hate that Attract and Overheat+White Herb combo. :P
I'll probably have another update tonight or tomorrow.

See you later. :P

Username: Tide
Type: Bug
Challenge: Single
Game(s): SoulSilver

Also, "Happy Birthday Monotype Challenge!" I will take advantage of this by hacking in a Cascoon. (I want to ensure that I get a Dustox, rather than a Beautifly)

 

[SubVirus]

I have decided to do SoulSilver instead of Liquid Crystal. I will be using the Birthday code as i've previously stated in my other post or if you didn't see it "Happy Birthday Monotype Challenge!" on Toxicroak instead (Croagunk at lvl 1 which will eventually be Toxicroak)
My next update will be after the first or second gym.

Happy Birthday, Monotype Challenge!

I'm just going to give myself an oddish even though I can get it at the second gym. Oddish is my favorite pokemon family :3 (oddish,gloom,vileplume,bellossom) my plan is to get cyndaquil as a starter and just throw him in the PC and not use him.(I only picked him so the rival will pick the water type) then I will use oddish as my actual starter.

 

[Necrum]

Happy Birthday, Monotype Challenge! I will use this code For Suicune in Heartgold

~~~

P.S Can I add Pokemon X to my Ultimate run since I will most likely still be doing this in October

Suicune is not allowed, sorry, no Legendary Pokemon. Please remove it from your challenge.

You don't really have to worry about that yet. If you finish your challenge before then you will be on the 5th gen Champions list, and will be free to upgrade it to 6th gen if you wish. After 6th gen is released you will have to complete it in order to qualify for Ultimate champion.
