Ultimate Monotype Challenge

[mondays suck]

Why not giving both Ice Beam, the 200.000 money are quickly collected if you battle the rich people around that mansion near Hearthome, and they give decent exp (at least if they leveled their Chatot and Roselia up)

If you don't want to do buy a second Ice Beam TM, i'd say give Tenta Ice Beam, since it seems to be your main Pokemon, it should have the more reliable move.
Even though this means you'll need some luck against Garchomp (which is always needed anyway, since there's stuff like crits)




I didn't continue yet, i was exceptionally busy with school, didn't want to screw up today's test.

 

[Charmageddon]

Phew... that was hard.

I bought a second Ice Beam TM like monday suggested and grinded all my Pokemon to lvl. 52 (except for Zoey (Lumineon), who I got to lvl. 53 for Bounce). I entered the Pokemon League.

Aaron was reasonably difficult due to his Double-Teaming Yanmega being a pain in the proverbial. Rock Slides from Slughorn (Gastrodon) took him and Vespiquen down. Scizor enjoyed Gunn's (Octillery) Flamethrower, Drapion an Earthquake from Slughorn, and Heracross a Bounce from Zoey.

Flint and Bertha were absolute jokes bar Flint's Magmortar. That cut into me with Thunderbolt and Solarbeam. After these battles, of which I cannot remember the details, I noticed I had three Pokemon fainted and had forgotten to stock up on healing items. I was never going to make it from then on, so I let Lucian murder me, and stocked up.

The second round went pretty much the same as the first, except I coped better against Magmortar since I knew more about its moveset. Lucian was a pain, but with Wesley's (Floatzel's) Crunch, Pingu's (Empoleon's) Shadow Claw, Zoey's U-turn and Gunn's Flamethrower for Bronzong, I got by alright. Now Cynthia, there was a hell of a challenge. I wished I'd used Gyarados after all.

I resetted three or four times until I beat her, so I don't remember exactly what happened, but I know it involved a lot of healing. Zoey beat Spiritomb (I hate that thing having no weaknesses!) with Surf, and Slughorn's Ice Beam beat Garchomp and Togekiss (with plenty of healing and reviving). Slughorn also beat Lucario, and A combination of Gunn's Charge Beam and Empoleon's Grass Knot beat Milotic. Roserade was the real evil. It took both Pingu and Tentachul to take her down. This description makes it seem a hell of a lot easier than it really was - after several resets I ended the match with 5 fainted Pokemon and just 7HP left on Pingu. But nonetheless - I have completed the challenge!


Final Team:

Floatzel/Wesley
Swift Swim
- Crunch
- Waterfall
- Dig
- Brick Break

The Glass Cannon of my team. Its speed was definitely useful - it could even outspeed Cynthia's Garchomp, but couldn't take a hit. Its diverse movepool was curiously useless in the Elite Four

Empoleon/Pingu
Torrent
- Brine
- Shadow Claw
- Drill Peck
- Grass Knot

The same as he was in the middle of the game - solid. It's typing allowed it to take all kinds of hits, which certainly helped. I couldn't have done it without him.

Octillery/Gunn
Suction Cups
- Charge Beam
- Ice Beam
- Psychic
- Flamethrower

Was absolutely invaluable in the earlier stages, but fell far behind later on. Slow as a snail and took hits like a chump. Flamethrower was still vital against Bronzong.

Gastrodon/Slughorn
Sticky Hold
- Muddy Water
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Rain Dance

Joint MVP. The immunity to Electric was beyond important, and it took down more than its fair share of the E4, including half of Cynthia's team. It was a bit of a tank, but could dish it out as well.

Lumineon/Zoey
Swift Swim
- Surf
- Attract
- U-turn
- Bounce

Oh, poor, poor Lumineon. It was more useful than I thought due to Flying and Bug moves, and Attract saved my arse against Snorlax, but lets face it, its stats suck.

Tentacruel
Liquid Ooze
- Surf
- Sludge Bomb
- Toxic Spikes
- Ice Beam

Surprisingly awesome. I used to think it was just an annoying jellyfish, but now I'm thinking it's one of the best. It's fast, hits hard, and can take hits. Vital in both general play and against the Elite Four - joint MVP.

Fin.

 

[Pekin]

Final Johto entry
Verion: Emerald
Type: Grass

I ****in' made it!
After defeating Juan, I searched far and wide for TMs to complete my team. Then I grinded to lv. 60, then challenged the E4 and failed. Then I trained 'em all up to lv. 61, bought a lot of stuff at the mart, then challenged the E4 again.

Sidney

Spoiler:

This was almost too easy. First up, Breloom kills both his Mightyena and his Absol with Sky Uppercut. Then Tropius takes out both his Shiftry and his Cacturne with Fly, and then Sceptile destroys his Crawdaunt with Leaf Blade.

Phoebe

Spoiler:

Again, this was not all that interesting. I put Shiftry first, so he's up against Dusclops in the first round. Dusclops uses Protect, so my Shadow Ball turns out to be useless. Then I try again, and this time I get to inflict a lot of damage with Shadow Ball. Dusclops uses Curse and dies. I switch to Ludicolo, who takes out the rest of her team by spamming Surf. So much for having a Ghost-type move against Phoebe. Major disappointment.

Glacia

Spoiler:

This was even more boring. Sceptile starts out by OHKO'ing two Sealeos with Leaf Blade, and then killing her Walrein with two Leaf Blades after having received severe damage from an Ice Beam. Then, Breloom OHKO's her Glalies with Sky Uppercut.

Drake

Spoiler:

It looks like it was a good decision to have Dragon Claw and Ice Beam on my team. Sceptile goes first, and kills Shelgon with Dragon Claw after two attempts due to an annoying Protect. Then Sceptile goes Dragon Claw-berserk against Flygon, who delivers a pretty weak Flamethrower in the process. Next up, Ludicolo OHKO's Altaria with Ice Beam. Then Sceptile takes out Kingdra with Dragon Claw after two attempts and a Dragon Dance from Kingdra. Finally, Ludicolo kills Salamence with an Ice Beam.

Champion Wallace

Spoiler:

First up, it's Sceptile VS Wailord. Sceptile uses Leaf Blade, which almost does the trick, and Wailord uses Rain Dance. Wallace uses Full Restore on the whale, and I go for Leaf Blade again. Once again, Wailord almost dies. I use Leaf Blade again, and the whale goes down. Now, he sends out Milotic, and I keep my Sceptile out. I use Leaf Blade, which cuts about half of Milotic's HP. Then, he uses Ice Beam, which cuts about half of my HP. Furthermore, Milotic heals some HP thanks to a berry. I use Leaf Blade again, praying for a crit, which I didn't get, of course. Down to almost no HP, Milotic uses Ice Beam and kills my Sceptile. Then, I send out Breloom, who kills the damn thing with a single Mach Punch. Next up, it's Tropius VS Tentacruel. Tentacruel starts out with an Ice Beam, cutting a lot of my HP. I use Earthquake, which almost does the trick, then I use Full Restore on Tropius, because one more Ice Beam will kill him, for sure. Of course, Wallace also uses Full Restore on Tentacruel. I go for Earthquake again, but Tentacruel is faster and hits me hard with an Ice Beam, and again I almost kill him with an Earthquake. I try again, but Tentacruel is faster and kills me with a Sludge Bomb. So I send out Breloom to OHKO it with Mach Punch, because it barely has any HP left. Next up, Vileplume OHKO's Whiscash with Petal Dance. Then, it's my Ludicolo VS his Gyarados. I own the thing by spamming Ice Beam. In the meantime, Gyarados uses Dragon Dance and Earthquake two times, bringing Ludicolo down to a little less than half its HP. After killing Gyarados, I send out Vileplume against his Ludicolo. His Ludicolo uses Double Team, and I almost kills him with a Sludge Bomb. He restores, and then I kill him with a Sludge Bomb.

And it's over!

Final team:
"image removed" Sceptile, lv. 62, aka "Palmer"
Overgrow // Bold Nature // Silk Scarf
- Leaf Blade
- Dragon Claw
- Return
- Cut

This guy did really awesome, and he did most of the unimportant trainer battles. However, he did not turn out to be quite as useful as I hoped.

"image removed"Shiftry, lv. 61, aka "Dots"
Early Bird // Relaxed Nature // Lax Incense
- Shadow Ball
- Strength
- Faint Attack
- Extrasensory

When I received him as a Seedot from an in-game trade, he was impossible. But after some training, he turned out to be a goddamn beast. However, as I moved on to the Victory Road and te Pokémon League, he didn't really turn out to be all that useful, after all. But still a great Pokémon.

"image removed"Breloom, lv. 61, aka "Mush"
Effect Spore // Relaxed Nature
- Mega Drain
- Sky Uppercut
- Mach Punch
- Iron Tail

This guy has to be my favourite on this team. He's just... He hits hard and fast, and he can even leave the foe paralayzed or even asleep! However, he doesn't really enjoy getting hit, so I've had to rely on a sort of hit-hard-and-hit-first sort of tactic with this guy, but it worked.

"image removed"Ludicolo, lv. 62, aka "Loculo"
Swift Swim // Serious Nature // Mystic Water
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Waterfall
- Water Pulse

Useful. Especially against Phoebe, Drake and even Wallace. He has very decent Sp. Atk and Sp. Def. stats, and he's even faster than I thought. He can kill a lot of Pokés with Ice Beam and Surf.

"image removed"Vileplume, lv. 61, aka "Plumy"
Chlorophyll // Gentle Nature
- Secret Power
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder
- Petal Dance

Very decent. Sleep Powder is dead useful, and Petal Dance and Sludge Bomb are just two great moves. As for Secret Power, it works fairly okay as a filler move, when nothing else works, and when you don't really have any other means of attacking a friggen' Golbat, when grinding in Victory Road.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Tropius, lv. 61, aka "Banas"
Chlorophyll // Hasty Nature // Soft Sand
- Fly
- Magical Leaf
- Earthquake
- Aerial Ace

Solid. Earthquake + Soft Sand turned out to be a very useful addition to my team. Besides, he can take care of annoying Bug-types, and he can get me from A to B. Magical Leaf works as a great filler move. Well. He's decent, and he can take a hit, (somewhat) but I'm a little disappointed by his Speed.

Anyways.. Move me to Sinnoh!

 

[Fire Wolf]

Spoiler:

*image removed*

I've defeated Red, on my fourth attempt! So, I'll describe the big battle now. Pikachu was no problem, OHKO'd by an Earthquake from Quaggy. The overrated Venusaur was next, while charging in for an Solarbeam, OHKO'd by an Ice Beam from Ice Beam. Next was Espeon, killed by two Shadow Ball's from Vapor, after surviving two Psychic's. Snorlax was the toughest, killing Vapor, Surf and Confused, to be killed by Crunch. I revived Surf, who 2HKO'd Blastoise with Thunderbolt. Charizard was OHKO'd by a Surf from Crunch, and that sealed my win :D
Final Team:

rofl, my little sister wanted to play my pokemon game and grinded my Bibarel to level 40 XD. Too bad she didn't learn him the right moves, so I'll be needing some TMs.

- Chose Squirtle at random as my starter (I know Charizard is part flying, but I wanted to challenge myself :P)
- Beat Green, and ran to Viridian and back to get my pokédex and get this show on the road.
- Bought me some pokéballs and caught a Level 3 Spearow and a Level 3 Pidgey.

I've got some more progress! :)

-Continued the training of Price the Paras. Leveled it to level 21.
-Fought Mik, my rival. Pryce was able to beat Pidgeotto and Abra, but Rattata got a lucky hit and killed it. Brink the Ivysaur took care of Rattata and Charmander easily though
-After healing, we took on the Nugget Bridge and won quite easily. Great job, Price!
-Went into the route north of Nugget Bridge and caught a Bellsprout! Named it Belle.
-Went back to the route west of Cerulean City and began training Belle. Leveled it to level 20.
-Went back to the route north of Nugget Bridge to beat all of its trainers. While doing so, Belle evolved into Weepinbel! Saved Bill and got the S.S. Ticket!
-Returned to Cerulean City, healed, and went to Cerulean Gym! Belle easily took care of the Gym Trainers.
-Fought Misty. Started with Price and easily killed Staryu. Price almost killed Starmie but bubblebeam got a great shot at Paras, knocking it out. I sent out Belle to finish the job with a Vine Whip. And I got the Cascade Badge!
-Went back to the route west of Cerulean to catch an HM slave. Price accidentally killed a Rattata and evolved into a Parasect!
-Caught Rattata the HM Slave and named it Slave. (May ditch for a better HM Slave later)
-Defeated the Digging Rocket and received the TM for Dig
-Made it to Vermillion City, defeating all of the trainers along the way
-Went to the Route east of Vermillion to train against the trainers. Afterwards, returned to Vermillion to heal
-Explored Diglett Cave to Train. Caught a Diglett to help fill up my dex. Returned to Vermillion City to heal, drop Diglett off in the box, and head to the S.S. Anne. Defeated all of the trainers then fought my rival, Mik. Belle took care of Pidgeotto and Raticate without a problem. I switched Price in to fight Kadabra and once again the little bugger prevailed. Sadly, it died against Charmeleon. I switched Belle back in and sleep powder/wrapped Charmeleon to submission. Good job, team! I then got cut from the captain and watched the ship sail away~
-So, I healed and booted up cut to remember... Rattata can't learn cut! And so, I'm now off to find a better HM Slave. Any ideas?

Current party. (Put Slave back in the box)

[mondays suck]

I'd recommend first using something like a random Bellsprout or Diglett for Cut, and later, as soon as you get the Super Rod, replacing it by a Krabby, which learns Cut, Strength and Surf. This makes it the best HM slave in gen.1, after Mew. Oh, there's also Lickitung, but it's a lot harder to obtain, so go with Krabby.


I've to get back to this, i can't even remember where i saved last...

Meowth learns Cut and Flash, and in any generation past 2, gets Pickup. He's a good pick.

 

[mondays suck]

Ah, forgot about Meowth, since i'm mostly playing Red version...
But since Uysl is using Wrap on Weepinbell, i think it's Blue version, since Wrap is more or less useless outside of gen.1.
But Rock Tunnel without Flash isn't too hard anyway, since you can see the walls.

 

[slls81]

-So, I healed and booted up cut to remember... Rattata can't learn cut! And so, I'm now off to find a better HM Slave. Any ideas?

I'd say Bellsprouts the best option at that stage of Blue, as it can learn both Flash and Cut :)

Anyway I have more progress :)

-Woke up Snorlax and beat him to open up Cycling Road. On Cycling Road Pidgeotto evolved to Pidgeot.
-Made my way to Fuschia and headed straight for the Safari Zone, where I caught a Level 26 Doduo and got the Gold Teeth for the Warden and won HM03 as a prize for some competition I didn't even know was happening. Taught both HM's to Gyarados and deposited Fearow to withdraw Doduo.
-Beat Koga using mostly Butterfree's Psychic. However Dratini won one battle and evolved to Dragonair.
-Grinded a bit back up to Lavender to raise Doduo to the teams level.
-Flew to Pallet and surfed over to Cinabaar.
-Found the Gym key, then tore through the Gym with Gyarados.
-Flew back to Viridian and beat Giovanni using Gyarados and Dragonair.
-Headed towards the league and met Green, who I beat using only Dragonair, Gyarados and Pidgeot.
-Now I plan to grind a bit to get everyone to around Level 48-50.

1st Sinnoh Entry
Version: Platinum

So, I've finally started the last part of this challenge. I'm gonna skip the boring details of the storyline, cos' I haven't really played Platinum that much yet, so I don't really know the storyline yet. Just know that I have two badges, and as soon as I've made my Cherubi evolve and grinded 'em all up to level 30, I'm gonna move on. Here's my team so far:
