    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.

    -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
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

    Thunderpunch, Swift, Shock Wave, Low Kick

    Bushtail the Modest Pachirisu (Pickup) lv37 @nothing
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

    Discharge, Swift, Quick Attack, Dig

    Bolt the Adamant Luxray (Intimidate) lv37 @nothing
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

    Tackle, Bite, Roar, Spark

    Plasmazap the Sassy Rotom (Levitate) lv37 @nothing
    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.

    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)
