The CoD Monotype Challenge

This Topic Needs A Bump And I Just Happened To Beat Two Gym Leaders Since My Last Update!

Man, I need a life (and a name inventory that doesn't suck). Anyway, I beat Flannery (easy) and Norman (hard, required several Selfdestructs).

So I decided to take the Ground mono type challenge in Silver.

Current Team:

Geodude
Lv. 11
Tackle
Defense Curl
Rock Throw

Hopefully I'll end up beating the E4 with a team of Graveler, Sandslash, Quagsire, and Piloswine, maybe defeat Red with the addition of a Marowak.


EDIT: I don't know if someone has already asked / answered this question, but does Drapion count a a bug type in a bug mono challenge?

I'm planning a steel mono in Pearl.

Future Team:
Empoleon
Bastiodon
Wormadam (Trash Cloak)
Lucario
Bronzong
 
Wow... I could of sworn I posted an update on my grass mono, but it appears I haven't posted anything at all.

So anyway, I've defeated the first gym which was ridiculously easy. I then carried on with the plot and tried to beat Brawly. Epic fail on my part. Time to train.

Team:
nuzleaf Spot Lv. 15

shroomish Misha Lv.16

lombre Tulsa Lv.16

grovyle Treek lv.17

To answer your question, I'm like 98% sure you can only use a pokemon if it's actually in that type, otherwise, what's the point of calling it mono-type? (Yeah, E4 Aaron's got a Drapion, but Flint has a Steelix, Lopunny, and Drifblim, so...)
 
Oh, I decided to do... *counts stuff* ...4 more monotypes! 8D
Ruby: / LeafGreen: / Emerald: / FireRed:
Linoone / Venusaur / Sceptile / Charizard
Swellow / Nidoqueen / Breloom / Pidgeot
Slaking / Victreebel / Ludicolo / Scyther
Exploud / Crobat / Tropius / Aerodactyl
Zangoose / Tentacruel / Cradily / Gyarados
Delcatty / Venomoth / Shiftry / Dragonite

P.S.- You could always do a ground mono on PMD2 by choosing torterra and swampert

Update: Well, I've beaten two more gyms and added another pokemon to my team. It took a couple of times to beat Brawly, but I beat Wattson on my first try. I've been going to the Battle Tents a lot for some reason... I just arrived in Fallarbor Town.
Team:
gloom Oslo Lv.26
nuzleaf Spot Lv.26
lombre Tulsa Lv.26
grovyle Treek Lv.27
breloom Misha Lv. 27

And various HM slaves who get switched whenever necessary. I'm not sure on final team yet, but I will probably end up storing Spot and/or Tulsa. They are not really working for me yet.
 
So far my Ground mono on Silver is doing, well, okay.

Geodude
Lv. 19

Wooper-f
Lv. 11

I'm in Union Cave now. Bugsy should be easy with Geodude. Whitney may be a tad difficult, but once Geodude learns Rollout I don't see there being a problem.

Plus, I've decided to do a Water mono on Diamond.

Potential Team:

Empoleon
Pelipper / Tentacruel
Octillery
Mantine
Wooper / Whiscash

So. I'm gonna start an Emerald mono, too.

Within five seconds of trying to play, I discovered that if you press OK on the naming screen when it has no letters, it will give you a default. ^^

Aaaaaand that's pretty much all I have.

EDIT: Okay, I beat up Brendan (almost typed in Brandon cause I'm a weirdo). I think I'm hallucinating, cause I thought he just said "l8r." o.o

I also have a nincada as an HM slave. By the way, did someone mention that you can get a skitty before the 1st gym? I'm training to beat Roxanne and another pokemon would be nice. Geodudes hate me -_-
 
^ yep, you can. I think. It may only be in Emerald, but if it isn't, they're RARE. I still haven't found one after 2 hours of searching. >:
 
I got a Seedot from a trade in game...all they wanted was a Ralts.
