BLACK 2 MONOTYPE (FIGHTING)

I started playing this challenge again as I want to finish all of my challenges before X & Y come out. I was in reversal mountain training with Bianca when I started yesterday so I'll update from there.

Spoiler

I trained everyone up to level 40 before leaving Reversal Mountain since Bianca was healing them after every battle. I battled Hugh in Undella Town. I beat his Unfeasant with a few Thunder Punches from Gallade. Simisage was beaten by Emboar and Gallade beat Samurott with Leaf Blade.
I made my way to Opelucid City as fast as possible, avoiding as many trainers as possible. Once there I beat every trainer in the gym then went and healed my pokemon. I bought 2 X attacks from that store on route 9 then went to battle Drayden. I led with Scrafty and used an X attack, X defend and an X accuracy so High Jump Kick wouldn't miss. I got one HJK in then got swiched out because of Dragon Tail. I can't really remember what happened but I won the battle.

Pokemon Diamond Solo Challenge Update #4
I finally got to play Pokemon so I continued this challenge by losing in the fighting gym... Vibrava had no chance against Lucario, so I went ahead and defeated all the other trainers I could find and ended up beating the water gym without having any trouble. I only spammed Dragon Breath for that and didn't even need the paralysis. There sure are advantages of being 15 level s higher than the others After I fought some wild Pokemon I finally reached level 45, so I now had a Flygon to completely destroy the third gym leader with Dragon Claw. Things are getting better now that I have Dragon Claw and soon I should get Earthquake

Flygon lvl 45 with hardy nature
-Dragon Claw
-Sand-Attack
-Faint Attack (No idea why there is no - , but there is one in Sand Attack... thngs I think when I'm tired )
-Crunch

I'll try to finish the Harmonia challenge next, but it's hard to get me to do it, because a lot of it is grinding... Well in 2 weeks I'll be playing Pokemon Y anyways

B2 MONOTYPE (FIGHTING)

In the previous update I forgot to mention the fact that I caught Virizion

Spoiler

After the battle with Drayden was over, I chased team Plasma out of Opelucid City and the went to Humilau to beat Marlon. I beat his Carracosta and Wailord really easily since I had Virizion, but Jellicent was a bit more difficult for some reason. It may have something to do with the fact that it was 5 levels above my highest levelled pokemon. Thinking back to that battle, it should've been quite easy as Toxicroak had Sucker Punch and Dry Skin. But it doesn't matter now. I won and got my final badge.

Pokegrammar is very strange 'n sometimes contradictory... 'least, in English it is.

FINAL BLACK 2 MONOTYPE (FIGHTING) UPDATE


I beat up Team Plasma and then chased them to the Giant Chasm to beat them up again.
After I beat Ghetsis, I made my way through route 23 and beat all the trainers there before charging through Victory Road and arriving at the Pokemon League.
I challenged the E4 and beat Caitlin and Shauntal using mainly Scrafty. I tried to beat Marshal using Gallade but lost against his Conkeldurr after it used 2 Bulk Ups.
I healed and tried again. This time for Marshal I used an X Defend and 2 Swords Dances and OHKOed his team.
Caitlin and Shauntal went down really easily.
I accidentally challenged Grimsley before I had healed everyone so I had to spend a few turns in battle healing my pokemon before I could actually start attacking him. I switched to Scrafty and beat him.

For Iris, I used Scrafty and used 2 X Speeds so I could be sure to outspeed everything. I just spammed Hi Jump Kick and hoped that I didn't miss. None of them missed and I beat Iris!

SCRAFTY Lv. 64
- Rock Climb

Of all the Pokes on your team, I wouldn't of thought Scrafty would put in the most work... High Jump Kick is somethin' to be feared lol.

 

[bou0010]

Scraggy and Scrafty are both really good from what I've seen. Especially when they have Moxie instead of Shed Skin

I just thought of something that may have to be added to the rules of monotype challenges as of gen VI. Say you're doing a flying monotype and one of your pokemon is Charizard, can you mega evolve it into Mega Charizard X?

 

[Splash_King]

Ah, good thinkin' Jordan. I'd hate t' limit or ban Mega Evolutions in any way, but I s'pose it'd be for the best to include Megaevos in the "alternate form" rule.

... In fact, I should broaden the rule right now. Say, to ban Kecleon. I really should've thought'a Kecleon before lol.

 

[bou0010]

Should Castform also be banned from monotype as its form depends on the weather which can be unpredictable sometimes?



SAPPHIRE HARMONIA UPDATE

Spoiler

Seeing as I wouldn't be able to do anything without someone who could surf, I grabbed Mudkip out of the box and used it to catch my first pokemon for the next part of this challenge. I got a level 30 Wingull, which I was happy with. I tried to teach it Surf so I could let Mudkip go back to resting but realised that Wingull can't learn Surf! So I went to the desert area and levelled him up so he could evolve. Once he evolved, I taught him Surf and used a few repels to catch my next pokemon, a level 32 Tentacool. With my team of 2 I proceeded to the weather institute and faught off Team Aqua, evolving Tentacool and earning a Castform as a reward for my troubles . I took the Mystic Water off Castform and gave it to Pelipper. I also taught him Ice Beam. Pelipper was able to defeat May by himself, making me wonder if I'd be able to beat Winona with only him.
I rode to Fortree city, healed, got the invisible Kecleon out of the way and battled the gym trainers. I ran beck to the pokecentre and then battled Winona.
I one hit her Swellow with Ice Beam.
Pelipper was a bit more trouble as I could only 3 hit it at best (assuming no crits). I got lucky with Ice Beam and froze it. Unfortunately Winona used a Hyper Potion so it took me a bit longer to beat it.
Skarmory was a 2 hit with Surf
Altaria managed to survive an Ice Beam, but wasn't so lucky when I used Quick Attack in the next turn.

FEEDBACK
I don't really have anything extra to say at this point. Apart from the huge amount of training I did for Norman, I've quite enjoyed this challenge.

Harmonia-White Update​

Spoiler

Yes, an update one day 'fore XY's release. Pointless, yeah? :lol:

- Defeated Bianca again and bid farewell to my previous team
- Struggled my way through Chargestone, and caught an Emolga and Joltik in the process... that one Hiker with a Boldore made me white out. ;_;
- Clipped Skyla's metaphorical wings with my (accidentally over-leveled) Mono-Electric team. Considered usin' Zebstrika during my first White playthrough, wish I would'a done so after just now usin' one.

Should Castform also be banned from monotype as its form depends on the weather which can be unpredictable sometimes?

Yep, definitely.

With a new Generation comes a new Challenge thread. This one's closed now, like the original. Y'all go there please.

... That, and I needed t' drop the "Black/White Edition" bit. Changin' a thread's name breaks links, so it's better t' just make a new one.
