The Ultimate Monotype Challenge

[BubbleBeams]

Fourth update.

I called technical support for my computer and managed to get it working again. Yay!
Still getting it repaired though, so this doesn't happen again in the future.

Anyway, I was able to continue my journey today. :)


Ultimate Monotype Challenge - Ground - LeafGreen

What I've done:

Spoiler:

• Headed back to Cerulean City to get to Cycling Road, since my Ground types would have an advantage over the Poison type trainers along that route and Alleine needed more experience
• Alleine evolved into Marowak
• Arrived in Fuchsia City
• Visited the Safari Zone where I caught a lv. 25 Rhyhorn I named Rocky (generic, I know)
• Hunted down the Golden Teeth and the Surf HM
• Taught Surf to Nidoqueen
• Gave the Warden back his teeth and received the HM for Strength
• Taught Strength to Nidoking
• Battled trainers and grinded up levels on Route 13 and Silence Bridge
• Went up against Koga and came out victorious. His poison types were no match for me! :D
• Received TM06 (Toxic) and taught it to Nidoqueen

I am doing an ultimate water challenge and I am done with Kanto already.

Right now I'm doing the water monotype on Platinum. Started yesterday, played a bit today, and updating right now.

I picked Piplup, obviously, caught a bidoof right away, trained them evenly. Then when I got to Jubilife (?) I got an Old Rod and caught a level 6 Magikarp that I have never used. Then I got a Psyduck on a Cave on my way to the first Gym.

I leveled up Psyduck until he learned water gun and decided to go forth to beat the gym leader.

1/8

Piplup lvl 13
Bidoof lvl 14
Psyduck lvl 11
Magikarp lvl 6

Just a quick update.

I have defeated Giovanni and he was very easy... I've gotten through Victory Road and made it to the Pokemon League. What my team is looking like at the moment...

Rain/Nidoqueen|Lv. 50
Mr. Nido/Nidoking|Lv. 54
Suna/Sandshrew|Lv. 54
Alleine/Marowak|Lv. 52
Horuka/Dugtrio|Lv. 51
Rocky/Rhydon|Lv. 49

Basically I'm just grinding like crazy at the moment. It's going to be a few levels yet before I'm even remotely comfortable taking on the E4. Unfortunately for me, Lorelei's got a pretty big advantage against my Pokemon so it's going to be hard to get past her.

I'm thinking I'm mostly going to be relying on my Nidos, Sandshrew and Marowak. Dugtrio doesn't have much for HP and her attack stat doesn't seem to be doing her any favors... Rhydon... eh.. He doesn't learn Earthquake for another 9 levels and he just doesn't have very good moves right now. So.. we'll see.

Platinum Water Monotype

Last time I wrote:
1/8 badges
Piplup lvl 13
Bidoof lvl 14
Psyduck lvl 11
Magikarp lvl 6

Then...
I have been playing, but not updating, so I'll just do it all here and now.
Basically after I got that badge, I caught a Buizel and named him tails. Took him to beat team Galactic in the flower town. (sorry, can't remember the names of most cities). After that I caught a Shellos. Trained my Shellos, Bibarel (Bidoof evolved) and Prinplup (Piplup evolved too), Psyduck and Tails (Buizel) in Eterna Forest (?) while I still had the chansey girl with me. Leveled them to 20, except for Magikarp who just leveled once god knows why.

After that I tried to beat the grass Gym Leader and got my butt kicked big time. I trained and trained and trained and trained and trained... My team was like this:

Bibarel l21
Prinplup l22
Shellos l23 (lucky he had Ice Hidden power, otherwise I'd probably have to grind to insane levels)
Tails l24 (was planning on evolving him before trying to challenge Gardenia again)
Psyduck l21
Magikarp l7

I was lucky when I won. Basically my Bibarel got a critical hit rollout on Turtwig which gave me a good start, but Cherrim took him out. Shellos was my life saver here. His Ice hidden power killed Cherrim and hurt Roserade, but Roserade killed him... I managed to weaken Roserade with Prinplup and Tails (Psyduck was a major fail), then all I had left was Magikarp, which I used to use a Max Revive I got from the underground (was looking for a Water Stone for Eevee) on Shellos. When I switched to Shellos he hit him with Hidden Power, barely survived Roserade's Magical Leaf and hit her again with Hidden Power. She died. I sighed with relief.

Definitely one of the hardest Gym battles I've faced.

Badges:
2/8

Team:
Bibarel l21
Prinplup l22
Shellos l23
Tails l24 (Buizel)
Psyduck l21
Magikarp l7

Just to be sure, I don't have to COMPLETE the games in any order, do I? Because Red will take a long time to train for, and i'd prefer to do one of the easier games like Ruby or LeafGreen first.

Nope, you can do them in any order you want.

 

[Pendraflare]

Well, in that case, I guess i'll post my first update for Ruby. The only additional rule is that the battle style is on Set at all times. I'm playing this on an emulator with super speed access, so it'll be over pretty quickly. :P

Spoiler:

-Started the game. Chose the girl and named her Shilana. Random name ftw.
-Picked Mudkip and named it Finley.
-Beat Brendan on Route 103, was a bit close because I missed with Tackle and he used Leer.
-Got Poké Balls, helped Wally catch a Pokémon and went through Petalburg Woods, getting the Team Magma grunt out of there.
-Arrived in Rustboro City.
-Went to Route 116, where I caught a Nincada named Looker. I switch trained it against a few of the trainers.
-Got HM01 for Cut from the Cutter.
-Entered the Rustboro Gym, allowing Looker to gain some EXP along the way. Then we took on the Gym Leader, Roxanne!

Rustboro Gym overview:
Team entering the fight: Finley LV14 - Tackle, Water Gun, Mud-Slap, Growl
Looker LV7 - Scratch, Harden, Mud Sport
She starts off with Geodude while I open with Looker. I switch in Finley as she uses Defense Curl. I kill her in one hit with Water Gun.
Next up she sends in Nosepass. I switch out for Looker as she uses Harden. Her: Full health and +1 Defense. I switch back out into Finley as she uses Rock Throw. Me: 28/39 HP. She uses Harden while I use Water Gun, which does less than half. Her: 2/3 or so HP, Me: 28/39 HP. She uses Rock Throw again, while I use Mud-Slap to lower her accuracy. Her: 1/2 or so HP and -1 Accuracy, Me: 16/39 HP. I use a Potion as she uses Harden again. Her: 1/2 or so HP, +2 Defense and -1 Accuracy, Me: 36/39 HP. She uses Rock Throw and gets a critical hit, while I hit her with Mud-Slap again because I don't want her to heal. Her: 40% or so HP, +2 Defense and -1 Accuracy, Me: 13/39 HP. She uses her Potion as I use Water Gun. Her: 40% or so HP. She uses ANOTHER Potion and I use Water Gun again. Her: 1/2 or so HP. She misses with Rock Throw and I kill her with Water Gun, ending the battle. Looker grows to Level 8 and Finley grows to Level 15 after that.
That Nosepass was a bit problematic, but at least the accuracy drops helped. Not much else to it.

-Watched Team Magma rob the Devon Corporation.
-Finley grew to Level 16 and evolved into Marshtomp.
-Confronted Team Magma in Rusturf Tunnel.
-Got the Letter and the Pokénav from the Devon Corporation's president.
-Got the Quick Claw from the teacher in the Trainer's School.
-Took Mr. Briney's boat to Dewford Town.
-Caught a Geodude in Granite Cave named Jigs.
-Went back through Petalburg Woods and to Rustboro City to get the Exp. Share from the Devon Corporation's president.
-Trained Jigs to Level 14 on Route 116.
-Beat all the trainers in the Dewford Gym and trained Looker up to Level 15.
-Challenged the Gym Leader, Brawly!

Dewford Gym overview:
Team entering the fight: Finley LV18 / Oran Berry - Tackle, Mud Shot, Mud-Slap, Water Gun
Looker LV15 / Oran Berry - Leech Life, Fury Swipes, Sand-Attack, Scratch
Jigs LV14 - Tackle, Rock Throw, Mud Sport, Defense Curl
He starts off with Machop while I open with Finley. I use Mud Shot, which does less than half while his Karate Chop does 1/4. Him: 55% or so HP and -1 Accuracy, Me: 42/55 HP. I use Mud-Slap as to lower his accuracy and not get him to where he'll heal, but he uses Karate Chop and gets a critical hit, though my Oran Berry activates. Him: 40% or so HP, -1 Speed and Accuracy, Me: 25/55 HP. I use Mud Shot and kill him.
Next up is Makuhita. I use Mud Shot, which does half, while he uses Arm Thrust and hits twice. Him: 1/2 HP, Me: 15/55 HP. I use Mud Shot, which kills him and ends the battle.
That was a little shaky, especially with the critical hit from Machop, but thankfully since Mud Shot was able to do enough to 2HKO Makuhita, it all worked out.

So here's my team:

Spoiler:

Marshtomp (M) "Finley", Level 18
Nature: Serious
Moves: Mud-Slap, Mud Shot, Tackle, Water Gun

Nincada (M) "Looker", Level 15
Nature: Hardy
Moves: Fury Swipes, Leech Life, Sand-Attack, Scratch

Geodude (F) "Jigs", Level 14
