*image removed*

My team:

"image removed"
Missile (Ariados), lv. 48
- Thief
- Constrict
- Leech life
- Fury swipes

Missile, (I also named my Beedril in Fire red that way in this challenge) the "Beedril replacement" It was not a bad pokémon in the beginning. I really can't whait until it learns Psychic or a strong move. He is by far my weakest pokémon in the Elite four.

"image removed"
Hades (Crobat), lv. 51
- Leech life
- Fly
- Bite
- Confuse ray

Hades. I want to kick myself. why i didn't used him before? His Bite saved me from Will and his Fly actually made the final blast at Dragonite. He is for sure one of my strongest pokémon

"image removed"
Jungle (Weepinbell), lv 46
- Razor leaf
- Acid
- Wrap
- Sleep powder

Jungle named after my Venusaur on the Fire red part of this challenge. And he is mostly the same. Not that strong but strong in the thing he does the best. Killing rocks, ground and waters.

"image removed"
Iris (Tentacruel) lv. 47
- Wrap
- Acid
- Surf
- Barrier

I LOVE HIM. Iris is by far my strongest member. Taking Hitmonchans Thunderpunches or what ever attack he fires at him like a champ. And then firing back strong Surfs or set up a Barrier.

"image removed"
King (Nidoking) lv. 45
- Iron tail
- Strength
- Double kick
- Fury attack

King... I expected him to be just as strong as his counterpart (Queen the Nidoqueen from guess what challenge) But he wasn't that good still pretty good


"image removed"
Smog (Weezing) lv. 51
- Explosion
- Sludge
- Rollout
- Destiny bond

Smog was the latest but still a bulky member. Rollout killed very irritating Golbats and other flyers while i just could explode when i was bored or was facing some thing unbeateble. Dragonites or something.

So, on to Kanto again. Let's get the other eight badges and Red's respect!

[PokeCommunity.com] Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

this one, was a lot hard. that 9 hp was the last 9 hp on my last guy... but i pulled it out, thanks to the fact breloom used leech seed before he was ko'd by altaria
[PokeCommunity.com] Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

i thought this one would be hard. then i remember fighting beats rock. Solrock was ko'd in the first turn with a shadow ball from medicham and a sky uppercut from breloom. psychic from... the other one whose name escapse me, lunatone? took out breloom, but it was quickly taken out by a shadow ball and double kick by blaziken.

Update for Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Normal).

Started Crystal leg of Normal UMC.

My only holdover from Green is going to be Clefable. I hate that Girafarig isn't in Crystal, though. I chose to have Clefable over Girafarig, as Clefable can learn the elemental punches, and has the only decent special attack of the normal type so far.

Here we go. I just beat Morty:

Spoiler:
Right now I am waiting for the morning to come so I can catch Miltank, and I will also get a Moon Stone from the south-east cavern in the Ruins of Alph. I have Surf now so I can do it. I will also be able to get another Return TM.

I made it though victory road, grinded my team up to level 50, thinking it was enough. And for sidney, pheobe and glacia it was, i walked through all of them. And them drake demolished me. I found my secret weapon however, the move relearner was able to teach my medicham ice punch. i'm gonna grind everyone up to level 55 and the go for E4 attempt #2.
 
Emerald Update

As you can see from my sig, I have most of Emerald behind me, but...

I AM STUCK AT LIZA & TATE >.<

Luna/Vulpix lvl 57
Rash
HP: 115 Atk: 64 Def: 63 SpAtk: 73 SpDef: 79 Spd: 88
Quick Attack | Grudge | Safeguard | Flamethrower

:( This does not bode well... My team can just barely take Claydol (if they don't go down first to Earthquake or Psychic) out, but there's still Solrock, Lunatone, and Xatu. Any advice? I'm seriously thinking of speed training a hacked Charmander and/or Cyndaquil at this point. This is after my first loss and I had to train drastically as it is when they were in their high 40's. x(

When are you going to evolve your Vulpix? It can't learn many moves after that, for being a NFE Pokemon...

In other news, I am still trying to beat the Elite Four round 2 on HeartGold. Feraligatrs are between 60 and 64, and Starmies are either 55 and 57 or 57 and 59. But I think I'm getting somewhere, and I've begun using Hyper Potions and Revives, because I realized that I have enough money to buy one Revive and 4 Hyper Potions if I beat Will and Koga, and lots more if I beat Bruno (also, I just started using the Amulet Coin so yay). I think I'm going to train my EQ Feraligatr until he can OHKO Will's Bronzong. That will probably be around 70 or something...
 
Would have evolved her already, but I don't have Dive, so I can't get those shards for a fire stone just yet. My focus at the moment is just trying to figure out how I'll survive the twins with all my fire types taking 2x and 4x damage.
 
Hmmm, I guess you should try to get Blaziken to get a Crit with Slash and train Vulpix/Camerupt enough til they're faster than Claydol and kill it with Eruption/Flamethrower or something. Good luck.
 
Move my UMC poison onto Hoenn I beated Red!

Pikachu: Kings Earthquake splashed the little rat
Espeon: It's a *****. Luckly with one sacrifice and Crobats Bite hax i defeated it.
Snorlax: BOOM Weezings explosion was enough to stop it doing damage
Venusaur: Some Flys killed it.
Blastoise: I hate blizzard. I had to restart my emulator a few times to sleep it and Razor leaf it down.
Charizard: Got Surfed over

Just a quick update from me on my Soulsilver run.

I didn't have a lot of time to play, mostly because I spent most of my time breeding. Nevertheless, managed to get together a cool team and I've got all 8 badges now.
Dragon girl wasn't any harder than any other trainer so far, mostly due to my new cool Mamoswine!

Team Soulsilver:

"image removed"
Bowser the Quagsire, Level 48
Surf, Earthquake, Slam, ForgotEnglishnameWeakGroundattack
Spoiler:

Loverboy the Nidoking, Level 50
Earthpower(?), Attract, Doublekick, Thrash

Tinkerbell the Mamoswine, Level 47
Earthquake, Ice Fang, Dig, Ancient Power(?)
Spoiler:

"image removed"
Sputnik the Rhyhorn, Level 1
Ice Fang, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Crunch
Spoiler:


Random notes:

  • I am now quite the breeder. I have about twenty level 1 Pokémon in Box 1.
  • I'm thinking about removing at least one of the elemental fang attacks of Rhyhorn for a ground or rock move. Any ideas on which for which?
  • I've never given much thought about natures and breeding moves, but it does add another fun and interesting layer to Pokémon. Go Nintendo!
That's it from the slow Granpa for now,
Cheers,
Peter
 
Well, I beat the E4 round 2. I think I'm just going to have to train on them until my team is all around the same level. Lance was much easier than I thought he would be. I figured all of his Pokemon would outspeed a Starmie 15-20 levels under them, but nobody except for Salamence did. I didn't OHKO Dragonite w/ Ice Beam, but he spammed Draco Meteor, so after I revived Starmie I took care of him. I'm thinking I'm going to get both Starmie to level 65 and Feraligatrs to whatever level they end at, since they'll be much higher (they're already 60-65). I'll probably have 2 more updates; one saying I'm ready for Red, and one saying I beat Red.

[PokeCommunity.com] Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

I will say this... This challenge had the single hardest single pokemon to conquer of any challenge i've ever done. Drake's Salamence. Like i said before, I walked through the first three of the elite four, taking hardly any damage, and with ice punch, drake's other pokemon weren't difficult. His salamance gave me so much grief. Was so happy when Blaziken took it out. Steven was pretty easy, the only annoying part was the fact i acidentally lead with breloom, and onto of that, i acidentally used giga drain, so he laid spikes and poisioned me. Other than that it was smooth sailing.

Heyo, folks! School is no longer an obstacle for me, so by the time I get this challenge updated, I plan to keep it that way.

I am still rather focused on competitive Pokémon battling, so I don't know if I'll be completing a challenge myself in the near future. But in the meantime, expect to see more of me around these parts. :P
 
Grass Monotype Challange (HeartGold) - Part 1

I will be doing a Grass Monotype Challange on HeartGold. So whenever possible, could someone add me to the list please.

Progress made so far:

* Started a new game, named my character Ethan, and picked Chikorita as my Starter Pokemon
* Did all of the usual stuff - be forced to go on the errand to pick up the "mystery" egg, get Pokedex etc.
* Trained Chikorita to level 10, so that it would stand a chance against the rival. It leant Poison Powder in the process.
* The move was used to great effect, alllowing me to KO Cyndaquil that much quicker.
* Named my Rival Silver, and trained Chikorita some more as I made my way up Routes 30 and 31.
* Along the way, fought and caught a Bellsprout. Used the good old bait-and-switch method to level Bell against the last trainer I fought.
* Reached Violet City, healed up at the Pokemon Centre, and headed to Sprout Tower.
* Used Bellsprout against the wild Gastly and Ratatta, and bait-and-switched in trainer battles.
* I finally made it to the head honcho of the place. Despite having just fought Silver, he was up to battling me.
* Poison Powder was extreamly useful in this battle, as that single-handedly killed him damn Hoothoot, which was otherwise dealing super-effective damage, when it wasn't putting my Pokemon to sleep. The two Bellsprout were defeated using my Bellsprout's Wrap attack.
* After the battle, he gave me TM70 Flash, and I warpped myself out of the tower to heal.
* Trained both my Pokemon in Sprout Tower until they both reached level 16, in preperation for fighting Falkner and his flunkies.

My Pokemon team and Stats thus far:

Bayleaf (Level 16) Nature: Hardy

Stats: HP - 51
Attack - 28
Defence - 33
Special Attack - 26
Special Defence - 34

I'm going to do my best to set up a Ghost-Type challenge in Emerald on an emulator, as I'm doing a solo challenge on my Silver Cart right now. It's gonna take the back seat to my dratini though. Sableye is my second favorite pokemon in all of history though, so don't fret, I will give the occasional update.
Misdreavus, Bannette, Dusclops, Haunter, Shedinja, Sableye. This shall be fantastic.
 
So I got purdy good at beating the Elite Four with items. And I get some extra money from beating them after I buy back all the items I lost. Got about 5 levels to go for Stella/us. I think I might go for Red now.

Blaziken, Camerupt and Magcargo, the rest of the team will be HM slaves(Probably not going to have 6 on team though).

@edit: Defeated Roxxane.
