Ultimate Ice Type Mono Updated (finished Crystal)

I finished this part two days ago, but I've been lazy. Once again I've been a bit of a speed demon ^-^'

Start- I hacked a Smoochum in and nicknamed it Hips again. I've decided to use Smoochum/Jynx as my starter all the way through. My starter was Chikorita so that my Rival would have Quilava.

Falkner- About this time my Smoochum was lv 16-18 and had just recently learned Powdered Snow. I finished this one quickly.

Bugsy- I progressed swimmingly and beat Bugsy using Powdered Snow again. Flying type on that Scyther was nice <3

Whitney- I used brute strength here. Mostly in the form of Powdered Snow. I had to use a Revive once because of Milktanks rollout :/

Morty- Hips had Confusion at the very least so all of Morty's half poisons went down easy.

Chuck- I took a detour and picked up Lapras and named it Prima again. I love Lapras <3 I taught Lapras Thunder and began training it. Lapras was used on Chuck, but it was Jynx (I had Smoochum evolve at lv 37 so it could learn Psychic naturally) who finished Poliwrath.

Jasmine- Lost to Prima's surf. Pretty easy battle.

Pryce- My favorite gym leader T^T I used Hips on the Dewgong and Prima on Piloswine.

Clair- I picked up a Swinub of my own <3 Best Ice type ever... and I evolved it into a Piloswine named Pryce ^-^ I used my Piloswine as a ground type rather than an Ice type. Out of all of the Ice types currently available, Piloswine has the highest attack. Clair was finished off easily by Prima.

E4- (to be continued)

Update for Final Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Water).

Update #4 on HeartGold.

Moar screens!

Spoiler:

• Chinchou actually was a lot easier to get than I thought, I reeled one in on my third try, but it had the Illuminate ability, so I let it go. The next one had Volt Absorb (and Rash nature too, awesome). I named her Light.
• Delivered the SecretPotion to Jasmine, who healed Amphy.
• Then I took her on in the gym. Light took down both Magnemite with Confuse Ray/Surf, and Cleopatra beat Steelix with Surf.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Flew back to Ecruteak and headed to Mahogany Town, training Light up.
• Went to Lake of Rage, then talked to Lance, who invited me to a Team Rocket party.
• Crashed the party in the Hideout, and after the first alarm, Light evolved into Lanturn.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Continued through the Hideout, and at the end took down both Petrel and Ariana.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Got out of the Hideout, healed up, and took on the gym.
• Pryce was no match for Light.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• After Elm called about the Radio Tower, I headed to Azalea Town and went down the Slowpoke Well, where I found a King's Rock.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• I also played the Pokeathlon Power Course a bunch with Torrent, Rider, and Pincher. Eventually I earned 3000 points and bought the second King's Rock.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Now that I had two King's Rocks, I was able to evolve Cleopatra and Kermit into Slowking and Politoed!
• I am currently saved on the first floor of the Radio Tower.

- Completed my aforementioned grinding, beat the Elite Four with minimal difficulty.

- Sped through the credits, got the S.S Ticket, got on the ship, did that quest.

- Beat the Vermilion Gym very easily.
- Beat the Saffron Gym, also very easily.

[Lunacrest]

I started, got Treecko, nicknamed it Scout, and then I defeated the Poochyena. After that, I trained it to Level 10, and then I beat Brendan.

And with only using Absorb on his Torchic! Haha!

 

[Technician]

UMC: Yellow (Ground Types)
Update 2

• Beat Brock! Nieds evolved into Nidorino! Double Kick wiped the floor with Brock's pokemon.
• Fought my way to Mt. Moon. Caught a Sandshrew, named it Santorelli.
• I forgot how ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING Mt. Moon is. Every step is a Zubat. Every. Single. Step. Santorelli got Paralyzed but a Paras, so I'm now wandering through the cave with a paralyzed, underleveled Sandshrew, and a Nidorina with well under half its HP left, and no potions. Ughhhhh.
• Got me a Helix fossil :D doesn't matter though, because I can't use water- or rock-types on this challenge. Oh well.
  
• And then the Team Rocket battle... I should note here that Santorelli is knocked out and Nieds has 12 HP left.
• I survived Ekans and his Wrap that thankfully only lasted two turns. Double Kick took care of Meowth, and Horn Attack beat Koffing. So I barely escaped this fight.
• Made it to Cerulean City! The upbeat music and blue hues are bringing me back. And a Pokemon Center never looked more appealing. Next update will be me against Misty.

My Team:

[Images coming soon]
Nieds the Nidorino
Level 22
-Tackle
-Poison Sting
-Horn Attack
-Double Kick

[Images coming soon]
Santorelli the Sandshrew
Level 12
-Scratch
-Sand Attack

Entry #2 for Grass Monotype on Blue:

After I beat Brock, I traveled to Mt. Moon, beating the Normal Types with vine whip and Bugs with tackle with my trusty Ivysaur. When I got in Mt. moon, I immediatly saw a Paras, which soon was fighting alongside Ivysaur. Paras couldn't stand up to the Zubat's, though, so it trained on the patch outside Mt. Moon. Later, when Paras was level 16, we went through Mt. Moon and got the Dome Fossil, though it probably will never be used. Ran into Misty's gym, owned Staryu with Paras and Starmie with Ivysaur. Got BubbleBeam and Cascade Badge. Beat my rival easy, though Pidgeotto killed Paras. Got through Nugget Bridge, and caught my next Pokemon, Bellsprout, though it can't really fight on its own like Paras was. Now we're trying to get through the trainers to Bill's house.

Team so far:

Ivysaur: Level 23
Vine Whip
Poison Powder
Leech Seed
Tackle

Paras: Level 21
Scratch
Stun Spore
Leech Life
-

Bellsprout: Level 13:(
Vine Whip
Growth
Wrap

Wait, you can only use 3 pokemon?

 

[jdthebud]

Wait, you can only use 3 pokemon?

you can use any team size you want, as long as you have 2 or more. some people find it easier to use less, as it is easier to train them (less exp to spread around). I am using a full party for my water challenge right now, as an example.
