Ultimate Monotype Challenge

[Blues003]

I started Platinum. Already got the first badge. I beat the first gym with Kricketune, using Sing, X Attack, Dire Hit, and a maxed-out Fury Cutter. Right now, I'm at floaroma town. I just got the honey, and used it to get pokemon out of the honey trees. Yes, I manipulated the watch. I was not going to wait 6h for a CHANCE of getting a pokemon. Specially, when I'm looking for a specific gender too! Having that in mind, here's my team so far:

Martyr, the level 20 Kricketune
~ Fury Cutter
~ Growl
~ Bide
~ Sing

The only Bug I could use against the 1st gym. Fortunately, Fury Cutter, when maxed out, has 160 base power. Adding Swarm and STAB to that, it becomes 300. He is also Adamant nature, which is pretty nice. Unfortunately, I won't be keeping him. Only used him so I could do the 1st gym on a Bug restriction as well. In fact, that is where his name came from: he's just there to feel some pain >_>' In any case, now that I got some of my REAL future members, he's going to start having a much secondary role. Dunno if I should deposit him right away or wait a bit.

Mel, the level 11 Combee
~ Gust
~ Sweet Scent

Got it a little bit ago, so no use talking about what I still haven't really tried. As a curious fact of trivia, 'Mel' is not only a short for an english name, but it also means 'Honey' in portuguese. That's where the name came from.

Cindy, Sandy and Mindy, the level 11 Burmies.
~ Tackle
~ Protect (AMGAMGAMG! UBER MOVESET!)

Also haven't tried them. They are all female, because I want the three versions of Wormadam. I COULD use Mothim, which would probably serve me better than these dudes. However, I don't want to have too many Bug/Flying types on my team. That was the main reason why I decided not to go with Mothim, and get these dudes intead. Their names come from the Magus Sisters, figures presents in the Final Fantasy series.

After some major grinding in Fallarbor, I finally moved on to taking care of Team Magma at Mt. Chimney, then taking on Flannery. Her gym was quite the challenge, I had to get out of there to heal Lombre a couple times. When I finally got to her, Lombre took care of her first three (or four? I don't remember) Pokémon, but Torkoal was a beast. Luckily, Lombre is not weak against Fire, which is obviously why I chose him for this gym, but he didn't know any Water-type moves at the time, so I had to keep using Fury Swipes and Thief, (And I'd forgot to buy some medicine, so I repeatedly used my Red Flute and all my Cheri Berries, several Soda Pops, a Hyper Potion and a Full Heal) and then I finally took it down eventually. Then I moved on to my dad's gym, where Breloom knocked down every single Pokémon in one hit. It was pathetic, to be honest. A single STAB Sky Uppercut from Breloom, and teh mighty Slaking goes down. Anyway, now I'm gonna go to bed, and then I'll continue tomorrow.

Current team:

Sceptile, lv. 42
Bold Nature // Overgrow
- Leaf Blade
- Pursuit
- Absorb
- Cut

Breloom, lv. 42
Relaxed Nature // Effect Spore
- Mega Drain
- Sky Uppercut
- Rock Smash
- Mach Punch

Lombre, lv. 40
Serious Nature // Swift Swim
- Absorb
- Fake Out
- Surf
- Thief

Nuzleaf, lv. 40
- Rock Tomb
- Fake Out
- Faint Attack
- Facade

I simply don't have the time to write a comment on all four of them. Or, well, I do have the time, I just don't want to. My team isn't complete yet, I still need a Tropius. And I'm still somewhat uncertain as to whether or not I want to have a sixth ember on my team... Cradily, maybe, but I don't know if I want to train a Lileep from level 5 to keep up with the others... Bellossom, maybe, but I don't really feel like having a Gloom on my team again.

Anyway, I've already started planning my Platinum team - Obviously, I'm gonna have Torterra. And I'm thinking Leafeon and Abomasnow, too. And possibly Cherrim. I don't want a six-member team, so maybe four will do.

Time for another update! Well this is my most recent list of things I've recently done recently...;

[Gregora]

So yeah, I'm back with an update of my FR run through. I beat it after two days of heavy gaming with a team in their early 50's. Here's the screenshot:

Two of these I never trained before (vaporeon and Poliwrath), one I haven't trained since Yellow (Blastoise), and one is pretty much a staple for me (Lapras). So yeah, I think I did a pretty good job with my team. Most of the final Rival battle, I was spamming surf and ice beam. XD

I think I'm gonna take a well-deserved break before seeing how fast I can run through HGSS.

 

[11wildy]

WOOHOO, ONLY 1 REGION LEFT!!!

Nobody will be interested in my boring battles against team magma and the gym leaders, so I'll only list the E4 battles. Oh, and I caught a Tentacool and evolved it. I used it once in the league...

Dark trainer:
Mightyena went down by Azumaril's Surf.
Cacturne by his Ice beam.
Sharpedo by his Brick break.
Shiftry by his ice beam.
Absol by Surf.

Ghost trainer was pretty much Surf, nothing exciting...

ice trainer:
Surf for Glalies and Brick break for Walrein and the 2 Sealeos.

Dragon trainer was kinda boring too, Ice beam did all.

Steven:
Skarmory went down by Swamperts Surf, I had to use 1 Pecha berry.
Cradily was the only league pokemon I used Tentacruel for, because of Liqued ooze, which I switched from Swampert to him the turn he used Giga drain. Then I was pretty much a few Blizzards.
Aggron was pretty easy and 1HKO with Surf.
Claydol was Surfs from Swampert, he used light screen and 3 Full restores, but I eventually did it.
Armaldo was also just Surf.
Metagross was 2 hit KO by Swamperts Earthqyake
_______________________________________________________________________

Continuing to Diamond, only 1 region to go!

started the game, bla bla bla.
Chose Piplup, beat that stupid Starly.
Caught a Bidoof.
Trained them up a bit.
Beat my rival easily.
Bidoof evolved.
Beat the Rock gym easily with Bubble from Piplup, he evolved.
Did the stuff at valley windworks.
Caught a Buizel which I'm now going to train.

Righto. I've now made it to Fortree City.
On Route 120, I caught myself a Tropius and an Oddish. I know I said I would hate to have to deal with the damn thing again, but well.. I changed my mind. I taught Fly to Tropius, trained them both a single level, mainly to make Oddish evolve. Then I found Steven, who gave me the Devon Scope, and then I challenged Winona's gym.

Nuzleaf owned a couple of her Pokémon with Rock Tomb, but eventually Altaria took him out, so I sent out Sceptile, which turned out be a bad move. Altaria took him out in, like, two turns. Then I sent out Lombre, who manages to do some damage with Surf, but eventually he gets his ass kicked. Then I try sending out Breloom, despite his major weakness to Flying-type attacks. However, with two Sky Uppercuts, Breloom manages to knock out both her Altaria and her Skarmory. Now I'm at Fallarbor, where I intend to grind the **** out of Tropius and Gloom, so that they can keep up with the others.
Current team:

Sceptile, lv. 46
Bold // Overgrow
- Leaf Blade
- Slam
- Absorb
- Cut

Lombre, lv. 45
Serious // Swift Swim
- Absorb
- Fake Out
- Surf
- Uproar

Breloom, lv. 45
Relaxed // Effect Spore
- Mega Drain
- Sky Uppercut
- Rock Smash
- Mach Punch

Nuzleaf, lv. 46
Relaxed // Early Bird
- Rock Tomb
- Fake Out
- Faint Attack
- Facade

Gloom, lv. 27
Gentle // Chlorophyll
- Poisonpowder
- Stun Spore
- Sleep Powder
- Acid

Tropius, lv. 27
Hasty // Chlorophyll
- Fly
- Razor Leaf
- Stomp
- Aerial Ace

 

[The Sceptile King]

[Rabid Ditto3 8]

Alright it's been a while since, my first post, I've been a bit busy lately.
1st Gen Poison Run

I made it through Mt. Moon, along the way picking up a Zubat (named it Ct.Chocula) and he's been an invaluable member of the team with Supersonic. In Cerulean city, I once again faced my rival, Bowser, and proceeded to reach Bill past Nugget Bridge.

With my newly earned strength, I headed to Misty's gym. Ct. Chocula made easy work of Misty's guards with Wing Attack. I switched Solartank to front for my confrontation with Misty. Staryu was easily taken out with a Razor Leaf while Starmie needed two, but its Swift didn't do much anyways. And so I earned the Cascade badge and the right to use Cut.

I end my journey once again, heading towards Viridian City.

Current Team​

Solartank level 25
- Razor Leaf
- Poisonpowder
- Leech Seed
- Vine Whip

Ct.Chocula level 24
- Bite
- Wing Attack
- Supersonic
- Leech Life​

[Charmageddon]

This sounds really fun

*Picks out of an imaginary hat*

[Jacobguy26]

Alright its been like, 3 days...

I JUST Finished Blue Version

My team at the end of all this was

Starmie, lvl 48

Golduck, lvl 43

Blastoise, lvl 48

Poliwrath, lvl 42

Vaporeon, lvl 43

Gary would've been a pain if starmie hadn't totally owned. it took out pidgeot, alakazam, gyarados, arcanine, and rhydon... wow.

Moving on to Silver soon, starting wit Totodile!

 

[Charmageddon]

I haven't played much recently due to my laptop acting up, but I've beaten the Sunnyshore gym. Slughorn (Gastrodon) just swept through it, and only fell to Electrivire - I got him to the red zone with Earthquake, but he hit me with a Giga Impact and knocked me out (I was already weakened because Gastrodon is slower than most Pokemon, especially in an Electric gym). Pingu's (Empoleon) Brine finished the job off.

To the Pokemon League!

 

[mondays suck]

Noctowl Lv. 25 (Pokerus)
Tackle(Meh)
Hypnosis
Foresight
Tackle

Noctowl with Double Tackle? Is that a reference to your username (Water Gun, Water Gun, Sky Attack)? =D



I'm still at Vermilion, but i decided to finally continue progressing now

UPDATE: I did the whole stupid, long and annoying power plant quest, caught Snorlax (wasn't easy with just 4 Ultra Balls and 1 Poke Ball, i forgot to get the Master Ball from Elm), and beat all Gym Leaders except for Blue and Blaine. Saved at Pewter after beating Brock with 5 Giga Drains from Butterfree.

Team:

Cool Eyes / Butterfree f Lv.52 @ Miracle Seed
~ Giga Drain
~ HP Ice
~ Sleep Powder
~ Psychic
Butterfree is one of my 3 core members, since Sleep is always a good thing to have.

Eeek! / Ariados f Lv.53 @ Pink Bow
~ Sludge Bomb
~ Return
~ Leech Life
~ Dig
Kanto is weak and underleveled, so it helped to balance the level gap between Ariados and the rest of my team.

iWin / Ledian f Lv.53 @ Nevermeltice
~ Thunder Punch
~ Reflect
~ Light Screen
~ Ice Punch
Ledian is not that important atm, but Double Screen support will really help me against Red i think. Too bad Light Clay doesn't exist yet here...

Forry / Forretress m Lv.50 @ Leftovers
~ Rollout
~ Curse
~ Explosion
~ Strength
I'm considering Toxic, but i don't really know what to replace for it... If anyone reads this, what do you think?

BulletPwnc / Scizor f Lv.51 @ Leftovers
~ Return
~ Agility
~ Baton Pass
~ Swords Dance
For some reason Scizor mostly lives a lot longer than Forretress, maybe because Forretress can't really hurt trouble stuff as good as Scizor does

To tell the truth, I don't know. Does your Strenght move do that much damage? Cause Explosion is so god damn useful. On the other hand, Curse and Toxic on the same set... they don't combine. 4 Slots is too little for you to try and get 2 strategies on there. It really depends. But if you really want it, trade Strenght for it. You can then replace it by another Strenght, or even Return, if you regret it.


I advanced a bit on my mono bug. I find it harder to progress on the 4th gen, cause I don't like it as much >_>' IN any case, I decided to ditch Cindy, Mindy and Sandy, the 3 wormadams. The hell with them, I can't be bothered to train them all >_>' So I proceeded with Mel, the Vespiqueen, and Martyr, the Kricketune. Fantina was a joke with Rock Gem or whatever is that rock move of Mel's... I'll post a more informative update some other day.

 

[Gregora]

Okay, after being down and out from my routine twice a year sinus drain-fest, I've started up on SoulSilver.
