Kanto Challenge Complete

Finished my Kanto FIRE challenge, moving on to Johto now.

I only started 2 days ago, hehe. Played pretty much all throughout last night to complete it.

-I pretty much solo'd the League with Charizard. Slash is just great. :)
-Lorelei was the bane of my existance. Her and her Cloyster's Clamp destroyed my Pokemon.
-Once I managed to 2HKO it with my Charizard, the rest of the Elite Four were pretty easy. Except Lance and his Aerodactyl.

Final Kanto Team

Valor Lvl.76 (I extremely over-leveled him.)
-Slash
-Earthquake
-Strength
-Flamethrower

Fluttershy Lvl.53
-Stomp
-Fire Blast
-Ember
-Growl

Dash Lvl.51
-Bite
-Roar
-Ember

Flare Lvl.49
-Bite
-Ember
-Toxic
-Take Down

I've been using an emulator on my iPod for this challenge. I will use the same emulator for the next part of my challenge. I will be playing Gold.
Wish me luck, again.

[BlissyMKW]

Wow. Red was FAR more tedious than he is in G/S/C. It took me many tries to beat him, but it's done. Water Monotype on SoulSilver is complete. Now, I'm going to do a Bug Monotype on White to see how I fare. Hopefully, I can beat Tate and Liza on my Normal UMC for Emerald soon. Although, final results time.

Team Blissy (Final)

Level 84 |Surf, Crunch, Earthquake, Ice Fang
Final Stats: 249/204/216/145/178/188

Slaves: Lugia - Fly
Togepi - Flash, Rock Smash
Paras - Cut
Gyarados - Waterfall, Whirlpool, Strength
Suicune - Rock Climb
Hoothoot (Boxed) - Fly​

 

[Bigfoot963]

I'm also jumping on the Fire type run bandwagon. I'm playing through Leaf Green and so far have just Charmander.

Charmander: Level 9

Edit:
This has probably been asked before, but is it ok for me to get Eevee if I evolve it into Flareon instantly?

 

[alexstelistu96]

Hi everyone,I an new to this forum and I want to start my single mono-type challenge.I will do fighting type.I started Fire Red with Charmander and I'm curently looking for a Mankey.

UPDATE:I catched a wild Mankey,trained it until level 10,defeated Rival second time(Mankey vs Pidgey and Squirtle) and progressed to Viridian Woods.
Curent location: Pewter City
Curent team:Mankey lv 13

Johto Update 1

Since I started my Johto part of my FIRE challenge yesterday, I've made quite a bit of progress.

-Obtained all 8 badges. All gym leaders except Claire were extremely easy. Attract helped me SO much during the battle.
-I don't remember Victory Road being so easy. Oh well, better for me.

Currently training on the Elite Four.
-I figured out that I can solo the entire Elite Four with just Typhlosion. It's just Lance I have trouble with now.

TEAM

Aura Lvl.58
-Swift
-Rollout
-Attract
-Flame Wheel

Dash Lvl.46
-Bite
-Iron Tail
-Dragonbreath
-Flame Wheel

Blaze Lvl.54
-Fire Punch
-Strength
-Confuse Ray
-DynamicPunch

Fluttershy Lvl.52
-Stomp
-Fire Spin
-Fury Attack

[Bigfoot963]

Update on my Fire Leaf Green run: I'm just at Victory Road and have been tanking the game with just these two:

Charizard Lvl. 60
Wing Attack
Slash
Flamethrower
Dragon Rage

Ninetales Lvl. 45
Quick Attack
Flamethrower
Fire Spin
Dig

Sorry about double posting, but I finished my Fire Leaf Green run.
Final Team:

Charizard: Level 65

Ninetales: Level 53

Dummy the Rapidash: Level 42

Rapidash: Level 41

 

[8bitSilence]

Ok, got my Pokemon all up to level 45. Going to attempt the Elite Four once more, because last time my team got destroyed by Will and his Psychic spammers.

 

[phonastik]

I had forgotten how terrible bugs were before Gen IV...
Anyway, update:

Spoiler:

Named myself OTOKKA, which is apparently the (diacritic-less) name for the Bug type in Finnish, and I rather liked the sound of it.
Got Mudkip because a) he can Surf and b) Sceptile will be easier for the bugs to defeat.
Caught 2 Wurmples on route 102, Luna and Helio.
Grinded them in the grass until they both evolved. I was lucky in that Luna evolved into Dustox and Helio into Beautifly.
Helio learned Absorb sometime before Rustboro, so Roxanne was fairly easy.
PLOT ETC.
Got to Dewford, destroyed Brawly with Luna.
MORE PLOT
Defeated Brendan without too much difficulty on route 110.
Searched in the grass for years about an hour for a Volbeat. Caught one, named him Hamlet.
Grinded the whole team up to level 25 so that Luna could learn Psybeam, Helio could learn Mega Drain and Hamlet could learn Signal Beam, in preparation for Wattson.
With liberal application of the Parafusion strategy, Wattson was defeated.
I then realised that Flannery was going to destroy my team, so I went hunting for a Surskit. Obviously 1% encounter rate means different things for different Pokemon, because I found one without too much trouble. Named her Mothra.
I am now on my way to Fallarbor Town, training Mothra up to level 25 as a Surskit so that she learns Bubblebeam.

The team:

Helio Lvl 25
-Tackle
-Mega Drain
-Stun Spore
-Gust

Luna Lvl 26
-Tackle
-Psybeam
-Poison Sting
-Gust

Hamlet Lvl 26
-Confuse Ray
-Double Team
-Signal Beam
-Tail Glow

Mothra Lvl 22
-Bubble
-Quick Attack
-Secret Power
-Water Sport

 

[8bitSilence]

EDIT: Just beat Lance. After literally 40 tries at the Elite Four.
Off to Kanto...again! :)

Updated team is above. ^

Haha, I seriously solo'd the League with Typhlosion. Rollout was the MVP move definitely.
Will probably update sometime tomorrow with Kanto information.
Wish me luck in Kanto...again.

-Gave Prof. Elm the Mystery Egg and showed him the Pokedex that Prof. Oak gave me

[1ninjadude1701]

Can i join in as Fire type in leaf green? I want to go up to Unova with the same mono type as well.

 

[Sydian]

Sad to see such an old thread come to an end, but someone else wanted to take ownership of the Monotype Challenge, but have a completely new thread. I felt that this was a good idea as well, and thus, we have this thread: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=282238

If you are currently doing a monotype, don't worry! You can still do that monotype, just sign up in the new thread. So yeah! That's that. Good luck to everyone! Sorry old thread. :( -pats-

Locked.
