Update for Final Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Water).

Update #8 on Emerald.

Green means go be the Champion!

Spoiler:

• Wally was waiting for me at the start of Victory Road, and I quickly took care of him with Nessie.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Got through the rest of Victory Road, and everyone was at L55 but Nessie and Pacific (L56).
• After some moveset editing, I took on the Elite Four.
• Sidney was soloed by Kraken (Hydro Pump and Sludge Bomb).
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Phoebe was taken care of my Pacific (got 2 with Shadow Ball) and Torrent (Earthquake and Surf).
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Torrent almost soled Glacia with Rollout but he fell to Walrein. Lucy 2HKOed him with Giga Drain.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Drake was almost soloed by Lucy (Ice Beam) but she went down to Salamence. Nessie finished him with an Ice Beam of her own.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• And finally, the Champion! It took my entire team (except for Nessie, poor girl) to bring Wallace down.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• You can watch the video of the fight here.
  
  
  Or, here's the play-by-play.

Ocean's Mono-Bug Type Run
Update #2:

Good Day. And welcome back to my Mono-Bug Run of Emerald. let's see what was rought in this update.

Firstly, Wriggle evolved! OMG! I am so excited. He became a Silcoon, as I had wished.

After getting through Petalburg Woods, and through Rustboro, I captured the third member of our lovely team, Kaguya, the Careful Nincada. She will become a Ninjask eventually. Yay for ninja-fast Pokemon! ^_^

Finally, I trained Squirm and Wriggle, and they evolved! Now I have them at final stage. Soon we will be taking on Roxanne, but not this time.


Accomplished in this update:
Evolved Wriggle to Silcoon
Caught Kaguya, the Careful Nincada
Evolved Wriggle and Squirm into Beautifly and Dustox

Next time, we take on our first gym leader! Until then, C'Ya! ^_^

Update for Final Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Water).

Final Update on Emerald. (#10, my numbering was off since the 3rd update, lol)

Water >>>>>>>> Steel.

Spoiler:

• Well, it took a while, but I finally was able to train everyone to L72.
• Nessie and Pacific were grinded on rematches, mostly the ones around Mauville (They're in the erratic exp group).
• I used Rare Candies on Kraken since she takes the most experience to raise (Slow group).
• The rest (Torrent, Lucy and Seabreeze - Medium Fast or Medium Slow groups) were raised by the Elite Four. Usually I would lose against Wallace's last Pokemon, as it was easier and faster to respawn outside the gates rather than wait for the credits.
• After some more moveset tweaking, I taught Waterfall to Torrent and headed to Meteor Falls.
• Found Steven and beat him! The play-by-play and video are below.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• You can watch the video of the fight here.
  
  
  And here's the play-by-play.

  And here's the play-by-play.
  
  Pacific VS Skarmory: Toxic (missed!), Rain Dance, Surf OHKO, Skarmory fainted!
  VS Agron: Surf OHKO, Aggron fainted!
  VS Cradily: Ice Beam, Ingrain, Ice Beam, Cradily fainted!
  Pacific grew to L73!
  VS Claydol: Earthquake, Surf, Full Restore (Claydol), Ice Beam (frozen solid!), (forzwn solid!), Surf, Claydol fainted!
  VS Metagross: Psychic, Surf, Meteor Mash, Pacific fainted!
  Torrent VS Metagross. Earthquake (M), Earthquake (T), Metagross fainted!

I know I've signed up for this before but I must have completely forgotten about it so I'll give it another go using grass types in Blue, Crystal, Emerald and ending it with Platinum(would go to b/w but I traded those in to gamestop).

Edit: Decided to switch from grass to fire/ Finished up Kanto in Blue

Well, my first update on Blue will be my only one because I was too lazy to post frequent updates on this game so I ended up beating Blue and the e4 without too much trouble final kanto team:

Charizard Lv.69
-Flamethrower
-Fire Blast
-Strength
-Submission

Flareon Lv.66
-Flamethrower
-Quick Attack
-Bite
-Skull Bash

Ninetales Lv.65

Now I'm moving on to Johto

 

[A Girl On A String]

I'll do this on heartgold after trade over my special pokemon (the ones i have a super-close bond to :) ) and stuff. name? Kaciey. Game? Heartgold. Type? Electric ;)

Update for Final Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Water).

Well, I started the Sinnoh leg of my Water UMC. Going with Platinum.

Update #1 on Platinum.

Name: Devin
Rival: Tyson
Starter: Piplup

• After the beginning stuff, I picked Piplup and named him Torrent as usual.
• Reached Jubilife City and Dawn cracks me up.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• After getting the Poketch and beating all the trainers up north, I took on Tyson and won pretty easily.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Continued on through the Oreburgh Gate and after I cleared out the Mine, Torrent evolved into Prinplup.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then I took on the gym, and beat Roark easily with Bubble and Metal Claw.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Taught Rock Smash to a Psyduck, and with the Coal Badge in hand, I headed on to Floaroma Town after getting Flash (also for Psyduck) from the lower level of Oreburgh Gate.
• Infiltrated the Valley Windworks and took down Mars easily.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• I was then able to get the next member of my team, and caught Lark the Buizel.
• Started training Lark up and got through Eterna Forest to Eterna City.
• Beat the trainers east of Eterna as well, and prepared to take on Gardenia.
• Gardenia was really hard to beat. I used X Items (Sp. Def and Attack)and a few Super Potions, and after several rematches, was finally able to put a hit on Roserade with Torrent and OHKO with Pluck.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Taught Cut to a Bidoof and saved inside the Galactic Eterna Building.

Team Devin:

Lark the Impish Buizel, ♀ - L21 @ Soothe Bell
Ability: Swift Swim
Moves: Aqua Jet, Pursuit, Water Gun, Swift

Torrent the Rash Prinplup, ♂ - L27

Well its been waywaywayway too long since i posted here, I dont plan on starting my Fire Monotype again, im close to the Lugia/Ho-Oh Battle in HG/SS (Cant remember which one im playing on... i think it might be HG) But im still doing it. I also started doing Monotypes for every type in Kanto, i only have Bug and Flying to go, but I'm not sure on doing Dragon/Ghost/Ice.

Cleaned out the rocket hideout easily with Lances help.
Fought Pryce the ice gym leader and once again Deville made it easy. The prof tole me team rocket took over goldenrod so off I went. Saved the Radio Tower through a combination of stealth, persuasion, courage and coolness.
Ice Path was easy and soon I was in Blackthorn. Clairs gym was actually hard because every trainer had either a horsea or dratini/dragonair with aqua tail, and with a fire type and ground rock type half my team was weak to them. awww well
Clair was sort of hard but we pulled through when deville got a burn on Kingdra, hax. Beat the Kimono Girls and Ho-oh.

Dark UMC Johto Update

After training against the Elite 4 for a while and using a few rare candies my team was ready.

Will
Deville pretty much soloed Will with Dark Pulse, and Sacrecrow helped out against Exeggutor with Fly.

Koga
Once again Deville was the main man, taking out Ariados, Forretress and Venomoth. Reptar eartquaked Muk and after a screech and a rock slide Crobat was done.

Bruno
I always knew this guy would be hard. Scarecrow held out against Hitmontop to get the first KO. Then he sends out Hitmonchan. Scarecrow got him down to about a 1/3 then was KOed. Deville finishes him with a quick Flamethrower. Machamp used cross chop and got deville down to red but I got lucky with a flamethrower burn. Machamp knocked out Deville and then Reptar finished machamp off. Hitmolle and Onix were both finished with an eartquake.

Karen
Shadow used headbutt and eventually beat her Umbreon. Houndoom OHKOed Vileplume with Flamethrower. Reptar took down Murkrow and Houndoom with a rock slide and earthquake respectivley. And one dark pulse later I'd won.

Lance
The first I fought him His dragonite kicked my butt. So new straegy. On his gyarados I sent out shadow. I proceeded to use 6x Z defends, 6x X special defends and 6x X Attacks, healing when nessecary. Shadow then 2HKOed everyone on Lances team and I am now the Dark type master of Johto. I have a new respect for the X items.
Now off to Kanto. I have have just arrived in vermillion.

Deville Lv 49

Update for Final Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Water).

Update #3 on Platinum.

Training, Fighting, Training.

Spoiler:

• The first thing I did was evolve Aquaman into Vaporeon.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then I climbed Lost Tower and moved on to Route 215, where I caught the next member of my team, Zuzu the Marill.
• Taught Zuzu Return and made my way to Veilstone City.
• After some Vitamin shopping, I grabbed the Dig TM for Zuzu and headed to the gym.
• Zuzu evolved into Azumarill in the gym.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• After beating the gym trainers, I took on Maylene and won with Lark and Zuzu (along with a few MooMoo Milks).
  
  
  
  
  
  
• After getting Dawn's Pokedex back, I grabbed the Fly HM (which I taught to a Starly I caught way back on Route 202), and went south to Pastoria.
• On the way there, Torrent finally evolved into Empoleon!
  
  
  
  
  
  
• After arriving in Pastoria, I visited the Move Maniac to teach Ice Fang to Lark and Water Gun to Aquaman.
• I then fished up my fifth team member, Inky the Remoraid.
• I'm still saved in Pastoria City. Training Inky comes next.

Team Devin:

After fighting the trainers around Vermillion city I challenged Lt Surge

Lt Surge

Reptars STAB earthquake destroyed this whole gym. OHKOs on everyone
Headed up to Saffron and after some exploring went to the gym

Sabrina

Hmmm.... I'm doing a dark monotype and this gym is psychic, might be a struggle. Yeah as your guessing this was easy as pie. Deville dark pulsed alakazam and espeon and umbreon faint attacked Mr mime

Erika

Travelling West to Celadon, atfer some gambling and shopping Erika was challenged. She was another easy one. Deville Flamethrowed everyone to a OHKO except Bellossom who took two.

Janine

The cycling road provived some good experince to my pokemon. Fuschia city used to have a safri zone but without it theres not much to do here anymore. Janine was actually sort of tricky. I started with Deville and after getting confused by Crobat and Toxiced by Weezing she fainted, but not without fainting them. One of her ariaods knocked ut Shaodw with swagger and poison jab. Scarcrow beat both the ariados though. Venomoth then knocked him out. But Reptar revnge killed it with Rock Slide.

Training on the bridge to Lavndar Town, Reptar learned stone edge and is one level away from evolving. Also am working on getting a dusk stone from the pokeathlon to evolve scarecrow.
