Zellorea Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Currently Completed/Posted Chapters: Reveal hidden contents GREEN = Finished + Posted YELLOW = Finished but not Posted RED = Unfinished Chapter 1 - Julia Chapter 2 - Florinia Chapter 3 - Corey Chapter 4 - Shelly Chapter 5 - Shade Chapter 6 - Kiki Chapter 7 - Aya Chapter 8 - Noel Chapter 9 - Luna Chapter 10 - Charlotte Chapter 11 - T3RR4 Chapter 12 - Ciel Chapter 13 - Adrienn (These clearly aren't the actual chapter sizes, as I only have 13 chapters here, but to make otherwise shorter posts longer, I have compressed some chapters into two, with every Chapter ending with a gym fight (A couple of the chapters have two gym fights. Those being Luna and Radamous (Chapter 9) Charlotte and Samson (Chapter 10) Noel and Serra (At least I believe that's it, Chapter 8) Introduction: There are so many Mono-Types going on right now, With Fire (Jaggi), Grass (Neco), Water (Anstane), Bug (Jess) and any others I may be missing. But I've been wanting to do my first Monotype run of reborn, and since I hate doing new things on my own, I'll be posting my Mono-Type run here! So for starters, my first thought was "What type should I do" So I took to a random pokemon generator, first pokemon that appeared with a pure type is the type I am going to Mono. I ended up getting this: Reveal hidden contents Psychic, not bad, fan of the type, and there's even a starter I can choose that'll become psychic! Only problem is, to my knowledge there aren't many psychic types around the beginning of the game, so this may be troublesome. I will try to include photos of battles and my team, play by plays of only important battles, and as long as I can handle it, as much story stuff as I can! So with our type chosen and our adventure set, we begin. Chapter 1 We begin our adventure as adventures always begin... On a train that's in the process of being bombed by a terrorist that appears to be apart of Team Meteor... Alright so not all adventures begin that way. But never the less, we get out with our lives and... Do I really need to say this story bit? If you're reading this, you've most likely played Reborn, so how about I skip ahead to our starter. Reveal hidden contents Fennekin! I named him Myst... Because you know... Mystic... Whatever, He's got some pretty decent IVS, an amazing nature, and an ability we will be changing once we get our hands on that ability capsule. With our starter by our side, and the excitement of a new adventure... We get into some rival battles... Great. Reveal hidden contents Cains Nidoran is out in a breeze, with it missing it's first attack and us getting a crit on our second attack. Ensuring us a perfect victory. Luck seems to be on my side. However we don't have much luck against Victoria... Just wait until I have psybeam! We head into Peridot and immediately find and obtain (Once we get pokesnax) our second pokemon... Reveal hidden contents Putty the Espurr! A bad nature, a meh ability, and some meh IVS. I'm not complaining, still a nice pokemon. I also quickly head over to the Railnet and snag this little fella, who won't be used for a bit considering it's type disadvantages it has for the remainder of this chapter. Reveal hidden contents He'll be named Swooer once I remember to go to the name rater. After clearing a few trainers and items, we meet the worst character in game, the douchebag of douchebags.... Fern! He then tries to say that he's top dog with all his swag, he then challenges us to prove his point. Reveal hidden contents He leads with lotad which goes down in a couple of embers. Then he brings in snivy... Same thing happens. He then sends out his Budew... Which also goes down in a couple of embers GG no Re He then leaves to go to presumably the other factory. We then head over to Julias gym to get ourselves the badge. (You know what happens, and we gotta go to the factory and stop Team Meteor) Along the way in the factory Myst evolves into Braixen! And we gain some nice levels. Once we get to the top we meet two grunts, and a guy that looks like half his body was made into a machine, he then takes on Flobot and Julia, while Fern and I have to deal with the two grunts: Aster and Eclipse. Queue battle music! Reveal hidden contents (Sorry, had no screenshots for this one) We lead with Putty and get off a ton of Psybeams onto the magby, confusing it and wasting their potion. Fern attacks the elekid. Putty then gets taken out, we go into Myst. Magby dies to hitting himself in confusion, and Fern and I double team the Elekid, taking it out. The first time I played this game I had to try three times to beat it. This time it turned out so much easier. We then head to Julias and challenge her to a gym battle! Reveal hidden contents We lead with Myst and decimate her Helioptile by using psybeam three times (Also wasting one potion). Doing the same to both her voltorbs. She then sends in Emolga who nuzzles us, getting the paralysis. We kill it next turn anyway. I switch into Putty to deal with blitzle, he manages to confuse the blitzle and bring him into red health, the blitzle kills itself. Here comes Electrode... He charge beams, I respond with Psybeam (Battle of the Beams!) I take about half health and she takes a bit more than a quarter of her health. She misses her next charge beam and I get another psybeam off, bringing her down to mid-yellow health. He then kills Putty and we send Myst in... I was sure I lost here, since Myst was Paralyzed... BUT she misses her sonic boom, I ember her, bringing her into red health, she then heals, I break through the Paralysis again and ember. Then... The moment of faith... She sonic booms like an idiot and we win with a psybeam! That was an insanely close battle, I feel the only reason I won was because of dumb luck (Never getting stunned due to the paralyze.) and just her AI making a dumb decision when she could've won. Anyway, that was the end of chapter 1! It went better than I thought, winning fights I've struggled with before, with relative ease (No Julia, don't say anything about how you would've won if you used Charge beam...) Anyway, since I am doing these chapters as I go along, I should post the next chapter within a couple days, at most a week! (I mess time up a lot so these claims may not be valid) Also, any suggestions would be appreciated! One last Message: Fern Sucks.

Jess Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) @Zellorea Good luck, fellow monorunner! You had a great start I see...

Jess Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Gallade with Justified can literally annihilate Luna. It has great Sp.Def to tank one Dark Pulse, get a boost in his Attack and the rest is history. But (even though I dislike Gardevoir and love Gallade), in general I agree that Gardevoir will be more useful than Gallade. Edit: Also, don't be so sure about sweeping Shelly with Braixen... She tends to lower your Sp.Atk with Struggle Bug, so in a couple turns you'll be doing much less damage even with fire type attacks... I can't wait to see how you go in these fights!

ZEL Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Ohey, Psychic was my first Monotype run, too! It's such a fun type to start with because even in Reborn you'll eventually have a lot of Pokémon to choose from and there's so many useful dual types. Best of luck with this run! Shelly can be a bit tough due to the limited number of 'mons you can get at the time, but if it's any sort of encouragement, I beat her with a team of 4 (Braixen, Meowstic-F, Grumpig, and... Munna? Musharna? Hell if I remember). So if you're less of a fool than me and complete your team, I'm sure you'll get it done. For Luna I mostly used Malamar and Gardevoir; I remember sending out Delphox first and Tyranitar getting rid of the field effect for me because it used EQ. She's not as much of a threat because you'll have a good pool of 'mons to pick from by the time you reach her. I'll be keeping an eye on this, me thinks~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anstane Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Heh, these runs are now just popping up all over the place, eh? Good luck with the Psychic Mono!

I imagine life must be quite confusing for the Meteors in your game. 'The hell do you mean, ZEL destroyed the PULSE?' - 'No, you idiot, the other Zell. Zellllllllll.'
