The Ultimate Monotype Challenge

[The Masked One]

That is correct. You can also use your starter briefly afterward for the sake of getting low leveled Dragon-types up to a level where they can adequately fight.

Alright, thanks. So I'd be able to keep the starter long enough to train the dragon type a little bit? That actually helps alot! :)

I believe it's okay to post a question here. I've already completed a monotype challenge in the past (Fire Red, Mono-Bug) but I was curious if I wanted to submit it towards the ultimate monotype challenge, would it still count? Would all I have to do is move onto one of the Johto games?

Also, what if I wanted to use another type, would anyone mind giving me suggestions on what type they enjoyed using the most. Mind you, I'm going to go for the ultimate monotype challenge either way, but, I'm just curious to what would be a fun type to use. I was thinking Normal, but it seems like a lot of people are already attempting that as is. I don't know, I hope this isn't out of line due to the nature of this post, but I just want to ask for opinions/get answers.

I messed up on my challenge, so I had to start over. D: I'd love to try another challenge though.

[Pendraflare]

Y Poison Monotype - Challenge complete

I'm not gonna bother posting overviews of all the big battles and such, so here was my final team and such after beating Diantha:

Spoiler:

Player name: Ivy (female)
Time: 29:21

Gengar (M) "Spookshire", Level 62
Nature: Docile
Obtained at: Route 14
Moves: Confuse Ray, Focus Blast, Sludge Bomb, Thunderbolt
Named after Marriland's classic Gengar used from his DP Wi-Fi battles way back, I think I have to give the MVP to him. Very fast and had good oomph to his attacks.

Drapion (F) "Arachnida", Level 62
Nature: Gentle
Obtained at: Route 14
Ability: Battle Armor
Moves: Crunch, Earthquake, Poison Jab, Swords Dance
A bulky addition to the team, her attacks weren't exactly the strongest under the roof but she got the job done well.

Dragalge (F) "Radish", Level 61 (no image)
Nature: Sassy
Obtained at: Ambrette Town
Ability: Poison Point
Moves: Dragon Pulse, Focus Blast, Sludge Bomb, Thunderbolt
Easily the least valuable member of the team. She didn't really get too much action, and the only Elite Four member she got any screen time against was Drasna.

Nidoking (M) "Percy", Level 62
Nature: Docile
Obtained at: Route 11
Ability: Poison Point
Moves: Earth Power, Earthquake, Flamethrower, Poison Jab
Very diverse, with his wide array of moves I was able to adjust them for whatever battle I had coming up to use him against.

Toxicroak (M) "Dartboard", Level 61
Nature: Lax
Obtained at: Route 7
Ability: Dry Skin
Moves: Brick Break, Dark Pulse, Poison Jab, Power-Up Punch
Another very helpful member. That Fighting-type was pretty useful on more than one occasion. And since I had never used a Toxicroak seriously before this, he was pretty fun to use.

(M) "Hopper", Level 61
Nature: Serious
Obtained at: Route 6
Ability: Poison Point
Moves: Earthquake, Megahorn, Poison Jab, Swords Dance
I'll give the MVP to him also. Scolipede is in my top 20 favorite Pokémon, and he had some powerful attacks to use, especially with Swords Dance under the belt. Most of the Gym Leaders didn't stand a chance.

And Pokémon in storage:

Spoiler:

Beedrill (M) "Buzzer", Level 23

Budew (F) "Aromasse", Level 17

Venusaur (M) "Flax", Level 41

Swalot (F) "Jello", Level 30

Crobat (F) "Boggart", Level 60

Tentacool (M) "Squid", Level 25

Trubbish (M) "Basket", Level 35

Foonguss (M) "1-Up", Level 34

Oddish (F) "Mikaela", Level 34

Victreebel (M) "Flytrap", Level 52

That's one down, so I think I can say I enjoyed playing through it all things considered.

 

[The Doctor]

I just completed a Psychic type run. I didn't want to post here that I was going to do it cause when I do that it makes me less wanting to do it. So I just done it.

It was on my X game.

That's it for now. I would have updated sooner, but certain academic situations have kept me from doing so. Also, I've been trying to put some time into my X run of the Mega Evolution Challenge, so that's gotten in the way too. But, now I'll be able to work on it more efficiently. See you guys later!

 

[Natnew]

I'm up to the champion...

GOD it's hard

edit: I did it...

here's the proof

-after I beat the last gym, I started to surf. yay...
-well, then I entered victory road
-neither gave me much trouble other than a stray torterra from a trainer (ugg)
-I made it to the elite four! yay
-I failed miserably
-I grinded
-failed again
-I tried to get a lucky egg to make grinding easier
-I got a lv 20 luxio (trained lv 3 shinx) and used a repel to find a chansey easier
-I gave up, bought 8 hyper potions and 8 revives, and started the elite four
-The bug guy wasn't that hard
-I blew half my stuff on the ground guy
-I beat the fire guy
-I crunched the psychic guy
-I saved right before the champion
-I restarted multiple times. GOD, is that garchomp hard. why is it dragon/ground anyway?
-before the battle, I rare candied static and spark to revive them, hyper potioned shock, and taught it attract.
-I used zapper to discharge spiritomb...Cynthia used a full restore so spiritomb KO'd zapper...I sent out static because I thought it could take a hit or do just a little damage...she switched to garchomp early...garchomp KO'd static...I sent out spark to take a hit...I attempted to heal shock a bit...garchomp missed twice so I got multiple chances...spark got KO'd and I sent shock...I used attract...I got lucky and KO'd garchomp...with low health and an elixer I barely KO'd gastrodon...lucario waisted all my haper/max potions...milotic was annoying but easy...I used attract on roserade...I got lucky that it got immobilized by love enough to KO it
