Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

[AyameHikaru]

So, I finally finished my St. Patty's day challenge, and am now resuming my UMC. :) For a refresher, I just beat Pryce and am beating up TR in Goldenrod now. Currently my team is:

Izanami the Lv. 33 Flareon
Izanagi the Lv. 38 Typhlosion
Vulpix (SHINY) Lv. 34
Inari the Lv. 16 Magmar/HM slave?
Gyarados the HM slave
Farfetchd the HM slave

 

[polkop]

Tomorow, I will continue my Ultimatemono-grass challenge.
Generation 1 to 4 are already done, I will continu on pokemon Black.
To be sure, do I have to beat the Elite Four one or two times?

Alright, my updates here aren't going to be nearly as in-depth as some of my more recent ones in other threads, since I'll be zooming through these. :D

So, I guess I'll just start off with a Flying Monotype in Red.

Update #1.

Name: Aero
Starter: Charmander
Rival: Bob (lol)

• So, I started the game by obtaining my Charmander, which I named 'Ryuka'.
• Captured a Pidgey as soon as I could, named it 'Rasen'.
• Defeated Brock with ease, Rasen Sand-Attacked Onix several times, which rendered it useless. Ryuka finished it off.
• I obtained a Magikarp from the Pokemon Center near Mt. Moon. Named it 'Issui'.
• Passed through Mt. Moon, Rasen evolves. Defeat my Rival and everyone North of Cerulean. Issui eventually evolves.
• Defeated Misty with Issui easily. Moved on to Vermilion, and won against Bob in the SS. Anne.
• Defeated Lt. Surge. Issui starts off by OHKO'ing two Pokemon, then allows Ryuka to finish by using Ember on Raichu.
• I'm now training in Diglett's Cave. (Currently training whole team to about level 40, shouldn't take too long.) Also, while I train, Rasen evolves into Pidgeot.

Current Team: (Note: The level differences are due to the fact that I am still in the middle of training.)

Rasen Lv. 36
Gust, Wing Attack, Quick Attack, Whirlwind

Ryuka Lv. 25
Ember, Rage, Scratch, Leer

Issui Lv. 26
Bite, Splash, Tackle, Dragon Rage

Poison UMC question

Pretty soon I'm going to continue my UMC Poison in Sapphire. However, the only poison type available before the first gym is Dustox. I really don't want to spend the time levelling up a Dustox to 15 or whatever to beat Roxanne only to dump it immediately after. I wanted to know if I could use my starter until Granite Cave to grab a Zubat instead of Dustox.

 

[Enigma]

Mini-Update.

• Finished training both Issui and Ryuka to level 36. Ryuka evolved into Charizard. (Couldn't do much today, didn't have time.)

Next update, I will probably either finish or be very close to finishing this monotype. I'll also post the Charizard evolution screen next time.


Current Team:

Rasen Lv. 36
Gust, Wing Attack, Quick Attack, Whirlwind

Ryuka Lv. 36
Ember, Rage, Scratch, Slash

Issui Lv. 36
Bite, Splash, Tackle, Dragon Rage

Blissy's Normal Ultimate Monotype Challenge! - Yellow Version
Chapter 1 - So it begins!​

Well...time to start a new game. I'm naming myself Kobora, and my rival is named Zero. I head to the tall grass, but an old guy stopped me. It was Oak. Well, he dragged me into his lab where his grandson, Zero was waiting. I got a Pikachu since Zero stole the other poke ball, then we duked it out. He got an Eevee...lucky basterd. Well, Lucky, my Pikachu, owned it. Now...let's go to the next town.

It seems that Oak was waiting for a package, so I'm the delivery boy...I feel like Fry from Futurama. Now...when I gave him the package, he gave me and Zero a Pokedex...awesome. Anyway, in Route 2, I caught a Pidgey and a Rattata. I'm gonna train them up, then enter the Viridian Forest.

This concludes this chapter of my Normal Ultimate Monotype Challenge.

Blissy's Normal Ultimate Monotype Challenge! - Yellow Version
Chapter 2 - Rock Hard Brock!​

Well...it's time to go through the Viridian Forest. Doesn't look too hard, but I'll need to catch a Caterpie...for later. Anyway, onward to the forest. A few trainers...Bug types...the works. After a bit, I caught a Caterpie and named it B-Man...since it's a bug. I'll train up my party in Route 3 until they're all at least Level 10. Then I'll go to Pewter City.

Ok...all trained up. Now, time to own Brock. 1 optional trainer? Ha! Pathetic! I'll skip him, then move on to Brock. Two pokemon, eh? Geodude...owned by B-Man, and Lucky helped. Onix nearly killed B-Man, but he came out on top, so Brock gave me the Bolderbadge.

This concludes this chapter of my Normal Ultimate Monotype Challenge.​

If anyone is wondering why I didn't use a Garchomp, probably the most powerful ground type in platinum, it's because I completely forgot about the area you could get them in. *facepalm*

Anyhoozle, I don't have Black or White yet so I might start a new type challenge before then. We'll have to see!

Out of curiosity does anyone out there still read this thread or are most people just posting and leaving it?
