I decided to continue my Poison UMC Sapphire leg, and I'm not as far as I thought. I managed to level Tetrid III the Tentacool up to Lv10 (from 9) and begin to raise my Daclus II the Zubat to the same level. I have one badge.

Fire Ultimate Monotype Challenge - Crystal Update #2

Fire Type UMC - Crystal #2
Ok, a short update:
-Headed to Ecruteak, then east to Mahogany town. Upon finding the Gym closed, I headed to the lake of Rage, where I caught the Red Gyarados, then went back to the Mahogany Town Mart.
-Met up with Lance, headed downstairs, then cleared out some grunts and some admins, and Krakatoa evolved!
-Killed off the rest of the rockets, defeated the Electrode, then got Whirlpool.
Thats all for now.

Update for Electric UMC Platinum

Right, after getting bored of the favourite challenge, I have started up my Platinum and returned to my beautiful challenge. I reckon mono's are the most fun challenges of all :) I may say things I've already said, but bear with me. I'm also showing my team differently:

- Beat Hearthome gym
- Got Eevee and Rotom, named Needles and Plasmazap (:P)
- Trained Plasmazap, but Needles (Even after evolution) only had tackle to attack with, and flopped pathetically, doing crappy damage
- Ditched Needles
- Went to Veilstone, beat the gym there
- Continued on my way down to Pastoria
- Trained to lv36 for everyone
- Went to the gym
- Beat Wake

Lightyear the Hardy Electabuzz (Static) lv37 @nothing
[PokeCommunity.com] Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

Thunderpunch, Swift, Shock Wave, Low Kick

Bushtail the Modest Pachirisu (Pickup) lv37 @nothing
[PokeCommunity.com] Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

Discharge, Swift, Quick Attack, Dig

Bolt the Adamant Luxray (Intimidate) lv37 @nothing
[PokeCommunity.com] Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

Tackle, Bite, Roar, Spark

Plasmazap the Sassy Rotom (Levitate) lv37 @nothing
[PokeCommunity.com] Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

Thundershock, Ominous Wind, Uproar, Shock Wave

I'm hoping to do several UMC's, actually, so I suppose what I'll do is, do four at a time, then I'll finish one up to Pt, the next one up to R/E, the next one up to C/HG/SS, and then the next one up till I finish R/B/FR. Then, I'll move up one in each, before starting new ones :). I hope that makes sense...

Can you sign me up for the Ice-Type Ultimate monotype? I wanna see how well R/B/Y is gonna go XD

Edit: btw, I'd be starting off Yellow with a level 3-4 Shellder in place of a Squirtle, and hopefully evolve him asap to get a Cloyster. My game progression will go Y/C/E/D/B or W (up in the air)

Edit two: realized that Jynx cannot be found in yellow. Looks like I'm stuck with 3 pokemon! Let's do it!

Edit three: Update! Here's my progress so far:

On another note: I have yet again run into the problem of not having any ice-types (or even non ice types that evolve into them) until I can get a Good Rod (something like the 5th or 6th town you visit I do believe) so I will be trading in a Smoochum egg from Gold/Silver as soon as I can, then dumping anything else off and releasing it.

I completely forgot that i was doing this. Could I restart?
This time ill be doing all regions with dragon types, excluding the kanto, I always get horribly lost in the rocket hideout in the game corner, I got through once, and only once.
But ill be playing on these games: HeartGold,LeafGreen,Ruby,Diamond,Black.
Ill be using Dragon Types, obviosly. (Maybe not, but I love Dragon types. :) )
And one question, if you cant get the pokemon you need as your starter until after you beat the E4, could you hack it in?

Um, if you do an ultimate mono, you have to do Kanto too, you can't just skip it....

You can't skip a region, and: You can hack in a single, low-leveled Pokemon thats available in the game before you finish the challenge (No using Kingdra in leafgreen and such)
