The CoD Monotype Challenge

[The Hungry Goldfish]

I just decided to start a mono-fighting challenge on my Emerald.
Proposed Team:



(If I can find one on Ruby)

 

[Mustardear]

I said "screw the rules" and did a Ghost monotype for Blue. I Mew glitch'd myself a Gengar as soon as I could and used that until I could get to Lavender Town. I had decided to use 3 Pokémon (one Gengar, two Haunters) because, well, I felt like it. Also, there was no way that I would use Gastly. I ended up with:


Lv 53

Mega Drain, Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Night Shade


Lv 54

Psychic, Thunder, Confuse Ray, Explosion


Lv 53

Thunderbolt, Seismic Toss, Hypnosis, Dream Eater

Note: The Elite Four, barring Agatha and somewhat Lorelei, get destroyed by ghost types in RBY. Lance can barely touch them.

 

[Eonrider]

This sounds fun! I think I'll go for Bug monotype on Fire Red.

 

[Flarginsnarf]

Well, I decided my Ruby Water Monotype I was trying to do equaled fail. I'm doing a Ruby Flying Monotype one now.

I did a steel monotype in platinum. My team was empoleon, lucario, magnezone, and bronzong, with a steelix i found on victory road and a lvl 15 probopass as death fodder. Needless to say, Garchompp screw'd me over, but i won eventually (bronzong was heatproof)

 

[Tsunami]

Alright this sounds fun, though considering the fact that all of my Mono Type teams consist of the starter and two or three HM slaves... anyone have a tip on what type I should do for the most challenge on G/S/C?

 

[wolfroland]

hell ill go for it. ill do a water monotype on sapphire

 

[Eonrider]

Brock, Misty, Surge beat! Brock was a Major fluke, though. Butterfree took down Geodude, but got Rock Tombed right off the bat by Onix, but not before Onix got poisoned. Beedrill lucked out, Onix basically just used Bind and Tackle on it, and when Rock Tomb was used, missed. Eventually poison and Beedrill's Fury Attack got the better of it, though.

Current Team:

Lv27
Quirky Nature
Effect Spore Ability
Scratch, Spore, Poisonpowder, Leech Life

Lv26
Sassy Nature
Swarm Ability
Twinneedle, Rage, Focus Energy, Fury Attack

Lv26
Bold Nature
Compoundeyes Ability
Tackle, Poisonpowder, Supersonic, Confusion

Proposed Pre E4 Team:

The Above with different movesets, +

For Sevii Islands I'll probably toss in a Herracross or something.

Notes: Beat Roxanne after about... a lot of tries! She was harder than I expected but -with luck- I managed to beat her. I have a good feeling Brawly will be easier.
On another note, I have a bit of training I have to take care of. I hate training Magikarps...​

 

[coolking49]

i'm going to start playing a new emerald bug monotype now. I just caught two wurmples and was forced to stop. My proposed team is:

beautifly
dustox
shedinja
ninjask
heracross
maquerain

thoughts?

Why not use an Armaldo? Not that you have to or anything, just that's what I'd probably consider.

I just caught kyoger and have 7 badges. I am currently taking a break to level my pokemon. ​

 

[coolking49]

oh yeah, forgot about that. I'll use it over masquerain.

edit: update, evolved both wurmples, both became silcoons, caught and evolved another one, cascoon. I then released the extra silcoon and my treeko. I evolved my silcoon and cascoon is level 9. Haven started petelburg woods yet.
edit2: trained bueatifly to level 15, dustox to 13, and a nincada I caught to 11. I beat Roxanne by spamming sand attack with nincada on her first geodude, switched out, gave beuatifly a Xspecial and killed the first two geodudes with aborb. i then tried that with nose pass but it barely did anthing. I started spamming sand attack again but fainted after two of 'em. Dustox came in, took one hit, and I realized I had only one option; I gave it a potion and used harden 6 times, then won with confusion (at which point it leveled up, learning gust and I promptly deleted harden.) Brawly was no prob with 4x resists on fighting moves with both dustox and beautifly, though I went though the cave before hand without the badge or flash. Off to slateport now

 

[Eonrider]

Erika beat! Pokemon Tower beat! Giovanni beat! No problems so far, unless you count the fact that I spent almost all of my cash and coins on a Scyther at the Game Corner. Yeah, I can't be bothered to wait until the Safari Zone comes along.

Anyway, team:


Lv. 32
Mild Nature
Shield Dust Ability
Leech Life, Gust, Confusion, Poisonpowder


Lv. 35
Modest Nature
Swarm Ability
Return, Aerial Ace, Slash, Agility


Lv. 35
Twinnedle, Pursuit, Rage, Pin Missile


Lv. 34
Scratch, Spore, Poisonpowder, Leech Life


Lv. 34
Tackle, Poisonpowder, Gust, Psybeam

That's it for now. I'm thinking of starting a Monotype on Ruby, ideas, anyone?

Notes: Beat Wattson!!!!! He was really impossible until Gyarados learned DRAGON RAGE (which is always in 'ALL-CAPS'). I caught a Skarmory obviously, and it needs training.

I should probably start focusing more on this monotype, I don't really give it too much attention.​

 

[Eonrider]

Hello again! I have decided to give my Bug monotype the name "Eonrider's Flea Market" because. Anywho, I've decided to start a Grass monotype on Ruby, BAD IDEA, Maxie is a PAIN. I've tried everything. Surprisingly, it's not Camerupt that gives me trouble, it's GOLBAT. Anyway, team:

Shift
L 26
Early Bird
Careful Nature
Fake Out
Nature Power
Growth
Bullet Seed

Fungi
Lv 27
Effect Spore
Clam Nature
Mega Drain
Stun Spore
Mach Punch
Leech Seed

Geko
Lv 27
Overgrow
Rash
Pound
Fury Cutter
Absorb
Quick Attack

Rafael
Lv 27
Chlorophyll
Impish
Absorb
Acid
Poisonpower
Sleep Powder

That's it for now, haven't been working on my Flea Market much.
The strategy I try to use for Maxie is:
1. Send in my Zigzagoon HM Slave to suck up Mightyena's Intimidate and faint.
2. Swith into Breloom and spam Mach Punch
3. Switch to Gloom and Poison Camerupt
4. Swith Back to Breloom and spam Mach Punch/Mega Drain until Camerupt is low Health.
5. Switch to Nuzleaf and X Attack while Camerupt faints of poisoning.
6. Spam Nuzleaf's Nature Power (which is Rock Slide at Mt. Chimney) on Golbat and hope that he doesn't get KO'd.

Any Ideas?

Notes: Beat Flannery easily, a little more trouble with Norman than I would of thought -but I beat it on my first go.

Just caught a Tropius (Must train!) and have finally reached the weather institute. Winona shouldn't be too hard, just have to not use Tropius probably and I'll be good.​
