Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

[Remnants]

This looks really interesting, and I've never tried a challenge before. That's why today, I am deciding to take on the Ultimate Mono-Type Challenge using my sturdy ground-type pokemon!

What a beautiful... Dustox~ (I love her already!)

Skip over Rustboro gym for now and catch a Nincada (one of my favorite bug types). Name him Dahj. :3 Grind a few battles, aaaaand... PRESTO! Cuvossi evolved into beautifly~

[Magmorter]

Hey I'd Like to take your challenge :)

Forum nickname: Magmorter
Game: Leaf Green
Pokemon Type: Fire
Platform: PC-Emulator, No$Gba.

I'd start with Charmander of course, and then I'd like to end up with Rapidash, Ninetales, Flareon, Magmar, and Houndoom. I know most of these aren't available till a bit later on in the game so I'll just stick with charmander for most of the start. I plan on using Chansey as Hm slave with Strength, Rock Smash, Flash, and Softboiled. I also will use Gyarados with Surf and Whirlpool and then maybe like just a pidgey with fly.

 

[Nash Bandicoot]

I am going to take to Ultimate challenge!

Type: Ground

I will start with Leaf Green.

 

[Westie7]

Update for Poison Ultimate Monotype: Kanto leg (Blue). Almost done.

First, I used the Ice Beam TM from the Department Store on Tetrid (Tentacool). I then went to Celadon Gym to train Tetrid using Ice Beam. Afterwards, I went south to Fuschia (Sp?) via the path that isn't Cycling Road. After capturing a Venonat (Docori), and got the TM for Psychic at Saffron City for him. I then trained him on Cycling Road, and he became a valuable team member when he evolved to Venomoth. I leveled him up to approximately 40 (along with Tetrid) and defeated Koga and most of his lackies with Psychic, Psybeam, and Leech Life. I collected Surf and Strength from the Safari Zone and the Safari Zone Warden. Tetrid got Surf while Lina got Strength. I surfed to Cinnabar and picked up a Grimer (Mito), who I taught Selfdestruct and Thunderbolt from TMs. I went back down to Saffron and leveled up Mito at Team Rocket's Silph Co. He evolved to Muk on the way. I then went to fight Sabrina, and defeated Kadabra with a pair of Leech Lifes from Docori. Mr. Mime fell to Lina's Body Slams. I beat Venomoth with my own Docori's Psychic, and Kadabra fell to Lina as well. I then flew back to Cinnabar and Surfed through all the Trainers with Tetrid, but defeated Blaine with Lina's Earthquake.

Team
Lina the Nidoqueen
Body Slam, Rock Slide, Strength, Earthquake

Tetrid the Tentacruel
Ice Beam, Mega Drain, Surf, Bubblebeam

Docori the Venomoth
Double Team, Psychic, Psybeam, Toxic

Mito the Muk
Sludge, Selfdestruct (To be replaced with Explosion), Thunderbolt, Minimize

Probably only one more update on Blue. I'm hoping for Crystal real cartridge, but I'm kind of afraid it's internal battery will die before I finish.

Started Ruby leg of Ultimate Naormal Monotype Challenge. I though about doing this on Emerald so I wouldn't have to deal with Metagross, but...

Name: Norma
Rival: May
Starter: Treeko

- When I got Pokeballs, I caught a Zigzagoon and named him Lenny.
- Went through Petalburg Woods and into Rustboro.
- Caught a Taillow named Saul up north.
- Grinded Lenny to L17, then challenged Roxanne.

The Super Potions I pick up were useful here. Headbutt and Sand-Attack were the reasons for victory.

- Caught a Whismur named Bart.
- Taught Cut to Treeko.
- Went to Dewford and got Saul some training in Granite Cave. Taught Flash to Treeko.
- Challenged the gym.

Saul 2HKOed both Machop and Makuhita with Wing Attack. Saul took a Karate Chop from Machop, then got lucky when Makuhita's Arm Thrust only hit twice.

- Delivered the letter to Steven, teaching Steel Wing to Saul.
- Went to Slateport and delivered the Goods. Bart is so weak right now, he keeps fainting...
- Lenny evolved into Linoone.
- Headed north and saved in front of the Trick House.

Team Norm:

Barb the Hardy Whismur, ♀ - L14
Ability: Soundproof
Moves: Pound, Uproar, Astonish

Lenny the Naughty Linoone, ♂ - L20
Ability: Pickup

I'm thinking about dropping Lenny in favor of Zangoose eventually, as I also want Girafarig.

Can I change my type to Poison please?

 

[649]

649/dragon0fangz's Rock Monotype continues on to XD!

Ok, you know that boring starter stuff? Sped through that. Using only the Teddiursa, and an unevolved Eevee. That's right, unevolved. Got a Water Stone and threw it away. The first rock type I could get was Aron, at the PokeSpots. Until then, my Teddiursa leveled up quickly, and the useless Eevee struggled to catch up. Whatever. Luckily of me, I caught a Wooper! I would need this to trade for Larvitar. However, as I went back to Pyrite, ONBS was taken over, and Duking was nowhere to be seen. I guess it's just Aron.

So, using only Aron and Teddiursa, I swept through the ONBS incident. Eventually, I finally found Duking. I traded my Wooper for a Larvitar, then I found out it had the egg moves Dragon Dance and Outrage. Sweet! Currently, I'm training the both of them up to lv 30-ish, before going to Phenac City, where I finally get my Lunatone.

Update for Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Normal).

Update #2 on Ruby.

Started in front of the Trick House.

Spoiler:

• Well, I went back to Petalburg and got a Slakoth - lucky to get an Adamant natured one. Named him Lazy.
• Went back to Slateport and headed for Mauville after beating the trainers left of the Trick House, as well as the first Trick House level.
• I actually lost to the trainer with an Aron, I eventually had to use Treeko to beat it since it kept using Iron Defense.
• Saul evolved into Swellow just before I fought May.
  
  
  
  
  Wing Attack ruled here.
  
  
• Reached Mauville and beat all the trainers around the city and Cycling Road, leveling up Barb. She evolved into Exploud during the grindfest.
• Crossing my fingers for Wattson...
  
  
  
  
  It took me several tries, and I won more from luck than anything else (Supersonic and Howl, self-damage), especially against Magneton. The Soda Pops I had helped a lot, as was the fact that Magneton always left Barb with 3 HP after 2 Shock Waves, letting me put in a move every now and then.
  
  
• Got Rock Smash and taught it to Treeko, and also got strength and taught it to Lazy.
• Got to Fallarbor. Saul's Steel Wing helps a lot against Geodude.
• Lazy evolved into Vigiroth. Finally he can move as fast as everyone else!
• Caught Zagger the Zangoose past Fallarbor Town. Taught him Dig.
• Zagger creamed everyone with Swords Dance and Quick Attack/Slash/Dig.
• Team Magma stole the Meteorite, so I went to Mt. Chimney to get it back, where I saved.

Next: Beat Maxie on Mt. Chimney, and hop to Lavaridge Town and the fourth badge.


Team Norm:

Zagger the Bashful Zangoose, ♂ - L21
Ability: Immunity
Moves: Slash, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Dig

Lazy the Adamant Vigiroth, ♂ - L23
Ability: Vital Spirit
Moves: Strength, Yawn, Fury Swipes, Slack Off

Barb the Hardy Loudred, ♀ - L28
Ability: Soundproof
Moves: Secret Power, Uproar, Supersonic, Howl

Saul the Sassy Swellow, ♂ - L29
Ability: Guts
Moves: Wing Attack, Endeavor, Quick Attack, Steel Wing

Also in the party:

Lenny the Naughty Linoone, ♂ - L20
Ability: Pickup
Moves: Headbutt, Tail Whip, Tackle, Sand-Attack

Treeko, ♂ - L12 (Cut, Flash, and Rock Smash slave). Lenny is going to be a future Surf slave until I get Tentacool later on for Dive and Waterfall.

[Magmorter]

Second update! yeah i know, wasnt that long before the last but i've done a fair bit :)

Ok so I made my way through the rock tunnel to Lavander Town, then caught a Vulpix on Route 8 and then used the underground path to get to Celadon City! Bought a couple of fire stones at the department store, and then evolved my Vulpix into a Ninetales :) Sat at the gamecorner for quite a while to get Iron Tail, Flamethrower, and a few Charcoals from the rewards shop thing. Went and easily bet the grass pokemon chick, and then got an evee and evolved it into a Flareon. Trained up my Ninetales and Flareon by beating Team rocket in their underground hideout for the silph scope, beating everyone in lavander ghost tower, and then finally by getting into Safron city and beating team rocket (again) in Silph Co. Then I Trained up my charizard by beating the fighting Dojo, beating sabrina's gymn, clearing out trainers in the surrounding area and also on the way to Fuchisa City, and then beating the Ninja Poision guys gymn. :)
