FIRST POST, FIRST CHALLENGE DONE
Hello everyone! I just want to share you my very first time journey on the monotype runs. I just finished it today and it made me feel a great sense of achievement especially since it is literally 2025 tomorrow (in our region)
It went pretty------pretty bad, there are some specific montoypes that was so hard that it made me think for like a week or smthn to strategize.
Here are my ratings on the difficulty of the challenges:
Grass - 10/10 first time experience, Meowscarda is an amazing mon
Ground - 9/10 misty was tuff, the hippo and exca combo is good tho
Fire - 9/10 tried the double sun set up during the e4 since ninetails sets up a snowscape upon drought, darmanitan and infernape are the main attacker with torkoal soaking some dmgs
Water - 7/10 one of the tuff runs I've had that made me second thought of pursuing this challenge, mostly RNGs - urshifu and kingler-mega mvp
Dark - Meowscarda n Sneasler/10 what can I say bro Fighting - 10/10 blaziken speedboost and sneasler poison touch dire claw with CLUTCH STATUSES on crucial mons, i love it
Dragon - 6/10 actually didn't enjoy it, was hard for me since I was also against lorelei's snow team instead lf his rain team. The whole e4 was tuff i'll be honest
Electric - 10/10 really enjoyed it especially mega toxi, electrode with chloroblast destroys everyone
Poison - 8/10 tuff but I somewhat enjoyed it, Sneasler once again clutching up those statuses from dire claw and iron moth with a clutch psychic coverage move against champion's ditto'ed iron moth
Fairy - 10/10 enjoyed it really well holy, this strat is actually something that I have found with cutifly focus sash and sticky web with grimsnarl thunder wave prankster and then welcome to flinch town with serene grace togekiss (p.s yeah I really liked zacian and I cheated on this since it's a pretty cool mon, but I only used it during the e4)
Ghost - 8/10 also tuff but fluttermane and S. Noivern with rockblast loaded dice is a chessy strat
Psychic - 7/10 also one of the tuffest run, I had to use cloud nine golduck just for me to cheese strat lorelei's hail team. Clutched meteor mash mega metagross attack up saved me here
Ice - 10/10 one of the most element I enjoyed. OMG H-avalugg is a monster and will always be, technician boosted accelrock and ice shard with atk bst of 134 is straight up badonkers. It can also learn rapid spin against fast stealth rock set ups like Aerodactyl
Normal - 9/10 i actually thought this is going to be hard but boy, cinccino(idk spelling) with technician:loaded dice/skill-link:expert belt boosted tail slap, bullet seed, and rock blast just decimated everyone 💀. Terrapogos goated tank fr
Bug - 10/10 enjoyed it once again, I adapted the cutiefly/garvantula:focus sash sticky web again with kleavor stone axe free stealth rock set up into a sweep with S-Centi and Larvesta with quiver dance
Steel - 10/10 also enjoyed it, togedemaru is actually really good and kingambit as per usual always clutches up with supremeoverload plus 5 into sucker punch or iron head (p.s yeah I really liked zacian and I cheated on this since it's a pretty cool mon, but I only used it during the e4)
Flying - Delibird/10 straight up one of the easiest monotype run I've had. Delibird with refrigirate fake out and extreme speed destroyed the champion and lance 💀. Also, sandaconda mega is also good with aerialate
Rock - H.Avalugg/10 straight up also a good run, it was tuff at the early parts especially against misty, surge, misty rematch, and all of giovanni battle.
Nonetheless, it was a great run guys!
Thank you and Happy New Years Everyone!
You're free to ask something but I might already forget some info about my team in detail especially those early elements
