The CoD Monotype Challenge

[Noctowl]

After finishing my nuzlocke of platinum (boy was that hard). I have decided to do a flying mono of sapphire.

Location: Just got to Mauvile city. *gulps*

Wow, good luck with that. The only strategy that I think is possible in that situation is get lucky with damage so that endeavor takes Magneton down low enough that Pelipper can KO it afterwards. Either that or catch another pokemon.

---
I found my Leaf Green cartridge, which has my Bug Solo run on it! Hooray!

I currently have a team of 5:


Beedrill Lv 41
Twineedle / Brick Break / Fury Attack / Aerial Ace


Butterfree Lv 40
Psybeam / Stun Spore / Sleep Powder / Psychic


Parasect Lv 43
Slash / Spore / Leech Life / Bullet Seed


Pinsir Lv 39
Revenge / Brick Break / Rock Tomb / Dig


Venomoth Lv 41
Psybeam / Giga Drain / Sleep Powder / Stun Spore

Location - Saffron Pokemon Centre.
Sleep makes this one pretty easy, so I think I'll just skip the rest of the trainers.

 

[Whirlpool]

Location: Just got to Mauvile city. *gulps*

Wattson's Voltorb knows Selfdestruct, so you might want to just get a useless Wurmple or something to take the damage. All three of them have SonicBoom, which can be extremely annoying as well.

This strangely reminds me of the time I tried to beat Wattson's gym with only an overtrained Swellow.

 

[1. Luftballon]

This is true but I don't see why you'd want to cuz there's some good EXP. in there. Plus his Makuhita has an attack EV higher than anything in the game up to that point.

for training purposes so that you don't lose terribly to brawly? I find it useful to clear out slateport beach first, but. that second part seems to reflect a misunderstanding of EVs.

I plan to train everyone up to 40-45 before I challenge the Elite four.
Also, no significant progress on my Flying mono in Sapphire. D:​

[Storm Earth and Fire]

Beginning a Psychic challenge on Platinum. This one is a race against a friend who is doing bug so I'll try and be expedient.

 

[gdoo]

Well I am considering doing a mono on my Diamond, but I would have to trade like 141 Pokes over. :/

 

[Time Psyduck]

Well, I just got Platinum (I know I'm behind, but it was on clearance), so I have a new game to go through. So, without further ado, here's a steel monotype:

Trainer: Diana
Time: 2:00
Badges: 1
Party:

Pingu (Male)
Lv18
Pound
Metal Claw
Bubble
Peck

(Future) HM SLAVES:


Pioneer (Male)


Hermes (Male)

Once again, my monotype is female. I think I may stick to this theme, just 'cause. Started on the train today and spent most of the first hour and a half grinding so that I would have peck to deal with my rival (Roy). Also spent some of that time trying to find a male Starly, which seemed to all be absent. Piplup them evolved in Oreburgh Gate, funnily enough after beating Picnicker Diana, and with the trainer fights around the mine and gym Rorak was easy enough (but since my only Pokémon is a Water-type, this was to be expected).
Next up, northwards, and team expansion. Since I don't want to have to try and get Pingu to evolve again before the second gym, I need a Burmy, and it's going to be fun getting it to evolve in the right form.

Edit:

Trainer: Diana
Time: 8:52
Badges: 3

Party:

Pingu (Male)
Lv29
Pound
Metal Claw
Bubblebeam
Peck


Vesta (Female, obviously)
Lv29
Confusion
Mirror Shot
Bug Bite
Hidden Power (Seems to be Dragon)


Big Ben
Lv 28
Confusion
Hypnosis
Extrasensory
Confuse Ray

HM SLAVES:

Pioneer - Rock Smash/Cut


Hermes

Pickup:

Loki

Random non-monotype layabouts:

Zephyrus


Chaos


Venus

Headed north, spent a couple of days dealing with combee (and multiple Aipom) before catching a Burmy. Went and took out trainers that were skipped for this purpose, cleared the windworks and used the pair in the trainer's school to get the right Wormadam. Nothing much of note - Gardenia was easy enough with Wormadam, and Jupiter wasn't any harder. Once I had the bike I went to Wayward cave for my Bronzor (not realising it was moved to the route east of Eterna) and took on more skipped trainers. Headed through to Hearthome and took on Fantina, who was potentially troublesome without anything to counter Ghosts. Big Ben barely won out against Duskull, meaning Vesta had to deal with Haunter and Mismagius, Pingu taking too much damage too fast. Still won though, and beat Roy in the gatehouse as well.
Next up, north again, this time to Solaceon. The team is probably going to need a significant boost, since it won't be getting bigger for a while.

Hawkeye (F)
Lv. 15
Double Team
Growl
Quick Attack
Wing Attack


Yakuza (M, Sounded better than Don,)
Lv. 14
Peck
Astonish
Pursuit
Haze

Major Battles: Nico's Air Force vs. Spandam's Spaz Squad
Despite being a disobedient son of a bitch due to being traded from Diamond, Yakuza took care of Spandam's team. Starly fell to one Pursuit without disobedience, on Turtwig, Yakuza kept ignoring me and getting Tackled to about nearly half-health, he eventually brought down Turtwig with two Pecks.

Just arrived in Oreburg City, planning on doing some grinding in the mines before I take on Roark. No idea how I'll win with only a Staravia and a rebellious Murkrow.

 

[Mai]

Drawing a random picture has led me to do a poorly planned Ghost/Dark/Scary monotype on the original Gold.

This will probably turn out badly, but why not try? My planned team:

Houndoom, Haunter, Misdreavus, Marowak, Murkrow, and Sneasel.

However, since so many are obtained late-game, I'm allowing myself 'scary' pokemon, so my current team is:

Venusite the bellsprout and

Canterlot the cyndaquil.

Granted, neither of these are all that scary (and I'm not too fond of bellsprout anyway) but soon I will catch a spinarak and this monotype/theme will really begin.

D:

Goodbye Canterlot and Venusite...

 

[Wargle]

I plan on doign a real playthrough of White but might do a monotype on Black. Not sure if there will be enough of the same type to do one, but maybr I will.

 

[Professor Wesker]

Got my first badge! :D

SneaselLover's Flying Monotype Challenge!!!

Player: Nico (Rival: Spandam)
Money: ¥350
Badges: 1



Hawkeye (F)
Lv. 23

Double Team
Endeavor
Quick Attack
Wing Attack



Yakuza
Lv. 18

Pluck
Astonish
Pursuit
Haze

Major Battles: Nico's Air Force vs Roark's Rumble Rocks

It was easy, surprisingly. Hawkeye's Intimidate and a few Growls weakened Geodude. I then Double Teamed a few times, and Wing Attacked it to death. Onix was easier, it kept missing and I kept Wing Attacking. Cranidos was pathetic: Wing Attack, Failed Headbutt, Wing Attack Critical Hit!, Cranidos fainted! Too easy!

Nico's Air Force vs Mars' Nasties
Another easy fight, Mars' Zubat fell to one Wing Attack from Hawkeye, and Purugly did a Fake-Out, then a Critical Hit Scratch which got me to about 4 health. Thanks to Endeavor, I got Purugly's health that low, and finished it off with a Quick Attack.

Current Progress: I'm in Eterna Forest with Cheryl, attempting to level up Yakuza to lv. 20, having an okay time despite Yakuza being a disobedient bastard.

And does any one know when you can catch Drifloon? I got Team Galactic out of the Wind Works and fast forwarded to Friday, but Drifloon's not there! What happened?

 

[Superbird]

Friday evening, my friend.

 

[Chief Zackrai]

Friday evening, my friend.

I've caught them in broad daylight :I

 

[Coloursfall]

If you change the date, the game won't have it show up. Either wait for real-Friday, or change the date to a minute before midnight on a Thursday.

 

[Professor Wesker]

Ah, okay. Thanks guys! Here I come Drifloon! *Insert evil laugh here*

 

[Chief Zackrai]

If you change the date, the game won't have it show up. Either wait for real-Friday, or change the date to a minute before midnight on a Thursday.

this is only in Platinum, actually. (I believe- it's been a while since I've done it.)

 

[RunsWithScizor]

At first, I thought this was a wonderful and moderately challenging idea... But, only about a half hour in, I'm starting to realize the error of my ways...
