The CoD Monotype Challenge

[Falthor]

Game Sapphire
Monotype Water
Play Time 59:12

I now have five badges. Flannery was cake. This entire game is cake. My team is in the low- to mid-40s now, wielding more powerful moves, including SURF. Now my team is pretty much kick-ass, and loads more varied. I'm on my way to Fortree now, with some of my Pokémon possessing Ice Beam now. Man, luck was on my side in Mauville. I made so much money, lost a lot, regained it, and spent a few coins on the Ice Beam TM. Pain in my ass, but so worth it.


Swampert, Level 47 (Male)
Nature Serious
Hold Item Sitrus Berry
- Mud Shot
- Surf
- Take Down
- Ice Beam


Sharpedo, Level 45 (Female)
Nature Mild (I'll take it. Its Defenses suck anyway)
Hold Item Blackglasses
- Crunch
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Slash


Gyarados, Level 41 (Female)
Nature Hardy
Hold Item Sitrus Berry
- Twister
- Bite
- Surf
- Hydro Pump (Yeah, the shittiest move of all Water-types)


Pelipper, Level 42 (Female)
Nature Timid
Hold Item Leppa Berry
- Surf
- Stockpile
- Swallow
- Wing Attack

I lowered the team to this. Lombre was too weak to get anything done, so I stored it. I'm reserving three slots (I'm getting rid of Gyarados soon) for any three of the following: Milotic, Starmie, Kingdra, Gorebyss, Walrein.

Crystal - Water Monotype
Day One

Events

• Started the game. Chose the female character and named her Koritsi ('Girl').
• Got my starter, a Totodile named Euthrausta ('Crunchy') who, after a small amount of training, is level 8.
• Met my rival, named him Agori ('Boy').
• Caught a very stubborn Poliwag who just didn't want to get caught, even with red health. Named her Speira ('Spiral')

Current team:


Euthrausta (Male)

Scratch
Leer
Rage


Speira (Female)

Bubble

A kind of pointless entry, but oh well.

Okay, I just managed to beat Roark (barely, it was due to two self-hits in confusion and a Hidden Power that I tried out on Blackwing and wasn't super effective on Roark's Pokemon but appeared to be somewhat powerful anyway), and here's my team:


Blackwing
Level 17
Tackle
Hidden Power (may keep if I can figure out what its type is)
Quick Attack
Wing Attack


Toxil
Level 15
Leech Life
Supersonic
Astonish
Bite


Serpent
Level 12
Splash
I decided to pick up a level 6 Magikarp earlier in the game as opposed to one that was closer to level 20 later in the game so that I might be able to get him a Gyarados before Roark. I managed to beat Roark regardless, but I'm still keeping him. I'm currently using the switch technique to train him.

Also, I'm probably going to run a Ground mono in Emerald in addition to this one and the Fire one in FireRed. Monos are fun.
Planned Ground mono:

 

[Munchkin]

THANK YOU FMC I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER!

Er...on another note, I shall start a Flying mono on a Fire Red ROM.

Still training in my Leaf Green Ground mono, Diglett is a pain to train, but I feel like she'll be worth it.

 

[Autumn]

Okay, I started the Fire mono in FireRed as I had planned, and I have just beaten Misty. I convinced my sister to play up through her LeafGreen game so she could trade me a Magmar and a Vulpix in place of Rapidash and Magcargo, and she's running her own Water mono as well.

My team:

Flamewing
Level 30 (severely overlevelled, I needed a high level to beat Misty)
Secret Power (beat Staryu in a hit)
Smokescreen
Ember
Metal Claw

xD

 

[Exdeath]

So, I've started the not-so-easy Bug mono on a Silver ROM. I started out with Beedrill(Who I'm planning to keep), named him the ever so common Sting, and narrowly beat Falkner with Fury Attack, and then started destroying everyone with Twineedle. Bugsy's Scyther and Marcos(my rival) were tough, but Fury Attack and Potion spamming won the day. I caught a Paras in Ilex, and then skipped Goldenrod Gym to catch the other four members of my team in National Park, messing with the game clock to speed things up.
Whitney was easily taken care of by my Scyther's Fury Cutter KOing Clefairy and striking down Miltank before it could move. Morty was then beaten by a combo of my Venonat and Butterfree's Confusion and my Parasect's Dig. Now, I'm currently in Olivine, heading towards the Lighthouse.

:D

I'm also probably going to start my Ground mono today. I like this.

 

[EvilCrazyMonkey]

I've made good progress in my games so far. :D

FireRed:Poison
I beat Misty, Rival on S.S. Anne, and Lt. Surge, then saved the game and haven't played since. My Ivysaur and Nidorina are way too overleved.

Emerald:Flying
I finally beat Roxanne thanks to supersonic, and Brawly, too. Delivered the letter to Steven and sailed to Slateport. Ran Team Aqua out of the place to deliver the Devon Goods. Beat the Trick House first level and saved right before the rival battle on the way to Mauville.

 

[Exdeath]

I've made some progress in my mono. I cleared the Lighthouse, and sailed across the sea to Cianwood, battling the swimmers along the way. I got a nasty surprise in Chuck's gym when I learned that the Machoke of an undertrainer knew Rock Slide. >.< Stupid RBY tradebacks...Anyway, I managed to defeat him, and Chuck himself was knocked aside by Venonat and Scyther's newly attained Wing Attack.

So! I gave the medicine to Jasmine, yadda yadda, I went to her gym saved, and, feeling a bit confident, I challenged her. Parasect's Dig took care of the Magnemites, but Steelix crushed me, no matter what I tried. 'Forget this,' I thought. 'I'm not going to power level.' So, I've decided to skip her and move on to Pryce. I'll post my team at the next update.

 

[Peegeray]

my final team was

(f) lv60

Caprice's Bug Monotype

Lance defeated!​

Wort wort wort Woot! I've cleared three-fifths of the game! I'll provide a description of the way I defeated the Elite Four and such.

Pryce
He was no trouble. Beedrill's Sludge Bomb took care of the Seel and Dewgong, but Piloswine was KO'ed by-get this- Hidden Power Fire from my Venomoth! I couldn't believe it when that turned out to be his HP type, since everyone else had stuff like Steel, or Dark on my physical attackers.
Jasmine
Dig OHKO'ed the Magnemites, and Venomoth put Steelix to sleep before hitting it with HP Fire until it dropped.
Claire
Venomoth Psybeamed Dragonair #1, Scyther Fury Cuttered until paralysis forced him to go with Wing Attack, and Beedrill KO'ed the third. Kingdra was where the problems started. He killed everyone multiple times, so I just gave up after the first three challenges and had Pinsir Guillotine him.
Will
Scyther Swords Danced twice, used a Full Restore to clear the Health loss and confusion, and swept with Wing Attack.
Koga
Scyther Wing Attacked Ariados, Venomoth Torched Forretress and used his Sleep Powder+Psybeam combo against Venomoth, Crobat and Muk. Easy.
Bruno
Butterfree Psybeamed Hitmontop, and hung in long enough to Solarbeam Onix. Beedril Sludge Bombed Hitmonlee, and Venomoth took care of the rest, avoiding Machamp's Rock Slide.
Karen
Beedrill Twineedled twice to take down Umbreon with the assistance of a critical hit, and used Sludge Bomb on Houndoom before fainting. Pinsir finished it off with Submission. Scyther Slashed Murkrow.
Lance
Scyther Swords Danced up while Gyarados wasted time with Rain Dance and Flail, and proceeded to OHKO all of Lance's team. He never stood a chance.

Team
Let me tell you, it was a royal pain leveling these guys up.
-Ziphold-Staro-Luxembourg-Ruby-Sting-Stalfos
Lv.52---------------Lv.51------------Lv.48------------------Lv.48------------Lv.49------------Lv.48

Now for Kanto and Red!

 

[Coloursfall]

|D E4 in FR Decimated! Go me! I think I'll take a page from Prettzel's book and tell you how I did it!

Lorielei - Thunderbolted the crap out out of her Dewgong with Dragonair, but he was taken down by an Ice Beam from her Cloyster. Sent out Gyarados and Dragon Danced a bunch while Cloyster put up Spikes (against my PURE FLYING team!) and used Protect. 6 DDs under Gyara's belt and she slaughtered everything else with Strength before they got a single hit in.

Bruno - No problem. Both Onix fell to Gyara's Surf, while my Pidgeot decimated the others with Wing Attack.

Agatha - I hate her. Used Charizard first, got rid of her ghosts with her... That GODDAMN second Gengar kept putting her to sleep, so I swapped to Pidgeot to stay immune to ghost. He swept with Wing Attack.

Lance - is a bitch. my Dragonair took care of most of his team with Ice beam, and was promptly killed by his Aerodactyl. So I killed it with one Steel Wing and a good Quick Attack from my Pidgeot. He had 7 HP left. D: Dragonair Evolved at the end. Yay Dragonite!

Rip (my stupid Rival) - haha, you're an idiot. Dragonite took out Blastoise (and his Pidgeot) in one hit with Thunderbolt. Exeggutor fell to a couple Fury Cutters from Scyther, Arcanine kept using Flamethrower on my Gyarados (o.O) while she Dragon Danced. Then swept the rest with Earthquake.

hehe I'm the champ now, idiot! >D Champ Kitten! yeah!

My Golbat evolved promptly after I got my National Dex. xD

My Team Now:


Shimmer - Charizard - Lv57 - Female -Hasty
-Aerial Ace

Caprice's Bug Monotype​

Red Utterly Crushed!
Notes:

• Yesyesyes!I finally did it! Eat it, eat it, Red!

• Scyther, Butterfree, and Venomoth got promotions in my list of favorites.

• Training my team was ugh.

I will now provide a rundown of how I beat Blue and Red. The other Kantonian gym leaders were scythed down effortlessly. Even Blaine fell to my onslaught.
Blue
This guy was difficult. I attempted a Swords Dance sweep with Ziphold, but after his Pidgeot Mirror Moved Swords Dance I just decided to kill him. Rhydon killed Scyther and was killed by Venomoth, but Arcanine killed off Venomoth and Parasect, but was finished by Beedrill, but Gyarados returned the favor. Pinsir took him down, but Exeggutor killed him, but Butterfree, my last team member alive, KO'ed him. I used a Max Revive on Scyther just in case, but it wasn't needed; Butterfree survived Psychic and put him to sleep, Solarbeaming him to his grave.
Red
Parasect's Quick Claw allowed him to dig before Pikachu Charmed him, leading to an OHKO. Scyther was switched in to Venusaur, and Swords Danced thrice, easily absorbing 'Saur's Sunnybeams. Scyther then went on to OHKO the rest of Red's team. That was easy.

Winning Team
Ziphold- Lv.73,(M)________________________________Staro-Lv.70,(M)
@------_______________________________________________@------
Wing Attack____________________________________________Hidden Power (Fire)
Fury Cutter______________________________________________Psychic

;; someone should add a special rule for Psychic monos that until their Pokemon know other moves they can have something to kill Darks for them?

 

[Exdeath]

Technically you have Struggle to use, so your Psychics aren't completely helpless against Dark types.

 

[Coloursfall]

But I'd have to go like... 60 or more turns to get it, so that's a tad flawed. D:

I have all of my badges and am now gearing for the Pokémon League. I have been going around, collecting new Pokémon and training them, preparing to level everyone to around 68 to completely demolish the Pokémon League. I'm in Victory Road now, just about to reach the area where I fight Wally, so I'm taking out all of the Rock- and Ground-types in the area with relative ease. Even the Level 30s are kicking ass, which is phenomenal.
