Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
The CoD Monotype Challenge
- Thread starter Exdeath
- Start date
Mr. Dude
So I heard you liek *shot*
I'm doing a Poison-type mono in SoulSilver. The challenge is complete with the capture/defeat of Mewtwo and Rayquaza, as well as the defeat of Red. I'm only going to have Kyogre in the game for about two minutes so I can get Rayquaza, so I should be fine.
Pokemon so far:
Ekans/Level 13/Female
Beedrill/Level 11/Male
Gastly/Level 10/Male
Zubat/ Level 8/Male
Bellsprout/Level 6/Female
I'm doing great so far! Five differently typed Poison-type Pokemon! And I've only beaten one Gym! Woot!
(How do you get the pictures of the Pokemon? I can't seem to find out how.)

I got bored and restarted SoulSilver (after trading anything valuable to HeartGold via GTS... oh boy, that was fun.), and I decided to do a Grass-mono. My character's name means "child of the forest" or something, according to one of my ancient notebooks.

I was going to nickname them, but I forgot and just decided not to bother since I fail at names (I'm doing a challenge in Ruby, inspired by forum member Alraune, and all my nicknames in that fail). So let's see... Started with Chikorita, trained Bellsprout in Dark Cave till about level 8, caught Hoppip, trained it in the Sprout Tower which was a piece of cake (barring Hoothoot's hypnosis). Falkner's flunkies were a breeze, but Falkner's Pidgeotto was trouble. Took down Hoppip and Bellsprout rather easily. Chikorita practically solo'd it one on one, with much potion usage. Lucky for me, it was stupid and spammed Roost when the only damage it had was end of the round poison, which allowed for neutral damage Razor Leafs, eventually ending it. I moved along, and saved at the entrance to Union Cave.
By the way, Mr. Dude, you get the sprites like this:
[.sprite=(game version here) ] Pokemon's Name [./sprite]
So like... [.sprite=dp] Chikorita [./sprite] turns into a Chikorita sprite from Diamond/Pearl version. Just take out the periods. There's a thread somewhere in the forum help boards, I think, that tells you the details.

So I spent a lot of time on this today. Got through Union Cave and Slowpoke's Well. Beat my Rival (named Boris), caught two Oddish in Ilex Forest, trained them a bit, lost to Bugsy's Scyther, trained more, barely beat Bugsy (for the record, so far, this team absolutely sucks against bugs and poison types).
Got through Ilex Forest, explored Goldenrod, crushed Whitney with Chikorita. Moved north and I've been spending the rest of the day doing those annoying Pokethlon challenges. I think I have 6100 points saved up right now. I need 7500 though by Wednesday, which is when they sell Leaf Stones, and I need three; Exeggcute, Bellsprout, and the Serious Oddish. The Mild Oddish will be a Bellossom, hopefully after I win the Bug-Catching thing tomorrow.
So far Chikorita's gotten all the medals, and both Oddish only need the Power medal to have them all. Two Oddish and Skiploom are awesome at the speed course, so I've just been replaying that for points. Took a break and did some other things, might pick this up again later tonight.
Edit: Something in my memory sparked, and I realized (and double checked) that Wednesday is the Water Stone prize, since I recall getting one for my Staryu on my first playthrough of HG. Leaf Stones are given out on Saturday. ......Shit.

"Quake" Level 22
Rock Smash - Fire Fang
Stealth Rock - Rock Throw
"Siege" Level 21
Rock Tomb - Metal Sound
Take Down - Iron Defense
First battle against Gardinia, I lost to Roserade. I evolved Onix with help from my HG and my mum's DS, and battled Gardinia again, twice. I lost both times. I traded Quake back to HG, taught it Fire Fang, and destroyed Gardinia.
I am now in the Eterna Pokémon Centre, planning my attack on the Galactic Eterna Building. Then I can get the fourth member of my team, Aegis the Bronzor. He'll be the last member of my team until just before Gym 6.

Traveled from Oreburgh to Veilstone, beat one of the members of the Karate Quad, and realised I was underleveled. When I next go on my DS, I'll be training my entire team to Level 36, then I'll buy TM Thunderbolt at the Game Corner, and then I'll probably teach it to Siege as my Anti-Gyarados manouver. When I get Shadow Ball, I'll teach it to Aegis, and Fantina won't stand a chance!
