Really sorry for the pathetic update, I'll try to put a good effort into my next one...

 

[Thebeast21799]

Alright, there are a couple of reasons why I haven't started my new monotype yet. First off , I already have a Solo challenge up right now and second, I have high school, so it will be a while longer until I start. I apologize for no updates. However, hopefully, I can get started in the future. Maybe it's possible I'll finally get started within today or tomorrow. I know high school hasn't started yet either, but it will hamper my time with these challenges when it does start. I hope you all understand that. XD Anyways, I'll try to get a good update for this challenge for the lack of playing this challenge.

Unova Bug, update 3

After a long vacation where i would have finished this challenge if Fire Emblem: Awakening was not so amazing, im back with my second to last update.

- In preparation for Skyla both Blockhead and Webz evoled
- Now a Galvantula, Webs soloed Skyla
- Drayden was pretty challenging, odd Swimmer guy not so
- Colress was the closest battle yet, hyper potions and low health Reversals for Charles saving the day
- Ghetsis was reasonably hard, but nothing outstanding happened to my memory
- Now in victory road

Team:

Beleafe, the lv. 55 Leavanny
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Leaf Blade, X-Scissor, Swords Dance, Slash
"Only still really useful in cases where it is possible to set up Swords Dance"

Stampede, the lv. 54 Scolipede
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Megahorn, Toxic, Bulldoze, X-Scissor
"Lacks the coverage to lead the team, but has Megahorn to give him the highest base damage output of the team, while being quite tough at the same time"

Blockhead, the lv. 54 Crustle
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Rock Slide, Bulldoze, X-Scissor, Toxic
"Falls flat on the ground once in a while, but generally a reliable type covering and tanking option"

Charles, the lv. 55 Escavalier
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Iron Head, X-Scissor, Reversal, Swords Dance
"This guy is absolutely amazing. Anything anyone can do, Charles can do better (Exeption of course being Blockheads firefighting)"

Webz, the lv. 55 Galvantula
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Signal Beam, Discharge, Volt Switch, Charge Beam
"Sucked *** when i first got him, but then he evolved and suddenly spiked to the top of the team. Now he is a mid-tier guy that thrives on niches like Charge Beam and being the only special attacker."

I just realized, I don't know how to post screenshots. :p Can someone tell me how so that I can post my first update. I'll tell you, I'm already outside Mt. Moon.

Hey guys, I just wanted to post a half-update. I realize I haven't updated in a little while, but that's because I've been discouraged from playing on emulators ever since I tried to play Crystal and it lagged alot more than normal. Don't worry, I should still be able to do the challenge and I should be getting a new, better computer sometime soon. Anyways, here's my update.

Update 1.5: Not Much​

What happened:

Spoiler:

Really, it's just been me going through the game with a team of underleveled Poison-types up to Kanto. It's really not alot, just me beating Clair and entering Kanto for the first time.

Team:

Spoiler:

Pretty much the same as last time. Crobat, Venomoth, Tentacruel, Haunter, Nidoking, Weepinbell.

Next time, I should probably have more content in my updates. Bye!

I've made progress already, by the way:

· I picked the female trainer and named her Sappy.
· Picked an Oshawott, named it Neptune, and boxed it.
· I lost to Bianca, but won against Cheren.
· Got the PokeDex and some Poke Balls from Juniper.
· Proceeded to catch a female Lillipup (Lady) at Lv. 3 and a male Patrat (Scout) at Lv. 4. I trained them both to Lv. 10 before proceeding.
· I won against N and his Purrloin.
· I caught a Purrloin of my own to learn Cut.
· Trained some more, fought Bianca as revenge for earlier, went to the Dreamyard, and finally Lady evolved in to a Herdier. Afterwards, I took on the gym and won on my first try.
· I saved the little girl's Pokemon and then caught a Pidove I nicknamed Dark Pit (...'cause I can).
· I'm currently preparing for Lenora for a normal type showdown.

Given that I have a few challenges ongoing, I'm probably gonna post a fair bit of updates, not only from my Grass UMC, but from my Flying and Bug challenge, as well. Here follows my first update from the Emerald run of my Flying UMC. (In the top post, it says that I'm three badges into Hoenn on this challenge, and I have no idea why, I haven't ever posted a Hoenn update from my Flying UMC)

Type: Flying
Badges: 1
Game: Emerald

Obviously, the game has just started. I've been spending a decent amount of time soft resetting for a well-natured Wingull and a well-natured Taillow. Then I plowed through the woods and arrived at Petalburg City. Roxanne proved easy enough. I used X Special on Wingull, then sweeped her team with just Water Gun.

Current team:

Spoiler:

"image removed"
Wingull, lv. 16
Male // Modest // Keen Eye
- Water Gun
- Growl
- Supersonic
- Wing Attack
"image removed"
Taillow, lv. 16
Female // Adamant // Guts
- Wing Attack

- Focus Energy

First update.

Challenge: Ultimate Monotype - Ground

What I've done so far:

Spoiler:

• Chose Squirtle as my starter - I figured I'd have a better advantage over Venusaur's poison type later on, since Charizard will be immune to ground moves and Blastoise obviously wouldn't be fun to go up against in the champion battle
• Delivered Oak's Parcel
• Got through Viridian Forest
• Defeated Brock pretty easily with Squirtle
• Caught a lv. 7 Nidoran (f), nicknamed her Rain
• Caught a lv. 6 Nidoran (f) to trade later in game for Nidoran (m)
• Got through Mt. Moon, always has been one of my least favorite places
• Rain evolved into Nidorina
• Evolved Rain via Moon Stone into Nidoqueen
• Caught lv. 6 Sandshrew, nicknamed him Suna
• Defeated rival after about 3 attempts
• Trained on Nugget bridge, etc..
• Met Bill and did science to get the ticket for the S.S. Anne
• Defeated Misty, surprisingly with no problems, with Rain... Body Slam saved the day

Okay, so Brawly was a complete pushover. Taillow took him out singlehandedly. Moving on from Slateport to Mauville, both Wingull and Taillow evolved, and we felt more or less ready to take on Wattson. But goddammit, that guy was a pain! Eventually, I succeeded after purchasing a bunch of X Attacks and one Dire Hit. I had Swellow use Double Team a few times, had her paralyzed by his Voltorb, giving her a much needed Guts boost, and then I was able to take out his entire team with Quick Attack. Hell, even Magneton. But that was a crazy battle.

Current team:

Swellow, lv. 32

Ultimate Monotype Challenge Bug, Unova part, Final update

- Fought my way through what i at the end decided was my favorite Victory Road yet

VS Marshall
- The hardest fight of the 4. It took the entire team, almost even Jimmy the lv 31 Skorupi i had caught to fill the 6th slot.

VS Shauntal
- Webz and Beleafe, the squishy sweepers of the team took this fight without major problems

VS Caitlin and Grimsley
- Bug moves, Megahorn in particular, cut through them like butter

VS Iris
- Took me several tries because of missing and flinch-hax.
- The only fight in the entire game that required me to use a Revive mid-fight.
- Druddigon with Flamethrower was a pain in the butt
- Megahorn OP
- Finished the fight low-HP Charles and only little Jimmy in reserve

Entered the Hall of Fame, completing my first ever UMC

Team:

Beleafe, the lv. 59 Leavanny Early-game MVP
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Leaf Blade, X-Scissor, Swords Dance, Slash
Stat-leads: None
"Held up the team at the beginning of the game, then started to fall off. In the E4 she only softened up some targets to then get OHKO'ed"

Stampede, the lv. 60 Scolipede E4 MVP, Champion MVP
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Megahorn, Toxic, Bulldoze, Double Edge
Stat-leads: Speed
"High speed Megahorn alone wrecked the E4 and the first 1½ of the champions pokemon. Averagely usefull most of the game, to suddenly crash the charts at the end!"

Blockhead, the lv. 54 Crustle
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Rock Slide, Bulldoze, X-Scissor, Toxic
Stat-leads: Defence
"Rock moves where really useful in a lot of situations. Ended the game as "The guy that is not OHKO'ed by [Long list of pokemon]""

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Iron Head, X-Scissor, Reversal, Swords Dance

Webz, the lv. 55 Galvantula
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Signal Beam, Thunderbolt, Volt Switch, Charge Beam
Stat-leads: Special Attack, Speed
"High speed and damage made him perfect for picking off what Stampede left behind after his stampedes ended. Also played the second part of the "Beleafe does one attack and dies, leaving the rest to clean up" combo for difficult targets"


Honorable mention:

Jimmy, the lv 31 Skorupi
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Strength, Cut, Flash
"In a fight i ended up losing against Marshall, he outsped and killed the Conkeldurr that had taken down the rest of the team XD"

After defeating Wattson and making it to Fallarbor Town, I caught a new team member; Skarmory. Not long after that, I caught another team member; Swablu. We then grinded for a while and moved on, chased Team Magma off Mt. Chimney and challenged Flannery. She was a joke. Pelipper OHKOd almost her entire team with Water Gun. Torkoal took two hits.

Second update.

Ultimate Monotype Challenge - Ground - LeafGreen

What I've done so far:

Spoiler:

• Headed onto Route 5 to get to Vermillion City
• Traded my Nidoran♀ for the little girl's Nidoran♂ which she unfortunately has nicknamed as "Mr. Nido".
• Mr. Nido evolved into Nidorino after training on Route 6
• Got on the S.S. Anne and trained a bunch there
• Waited until Mr. Nido was at level 22 so he could learn Horn Attack and then evolved him into Nidoking with the Moon Stone
• Taught Suna Dig because he wasn't being very useful in battle with his other moves and I was ready to have an actual ground-type attack in my movepool – This was very useful going up against a bunch of Sailor's Tentacools.
• Suna evolved into Sandslash
• Defeated my rival rather easily
• Rubbed the captains back and he gave me cut
• Watched the S.S. Anne leave, never to return again
• Caught a lv. 18 Diglett, nicknamed her Hokura
• Defeated Lt. Surge – He wasn't even a challenge
