EndearingCharacterTrait Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Hi all, in this thread I intend to document my attempt at a mono Steel Type run. We'll see how this goes... Table of Contents Spoiler Chapter 1: A Modest Beginning Chapter 2: When Plants Attack Chapter 3: Graduating Onyx Trainer School Chapter 4: The Plant Strikes Back Chapter 5: Shelly Shocked Chapter 6: Hii Power Chapter 7: In Search of Strength Chapter 8: Trainer Stahl and the Unusually Lengthy Fetch Quest Chapter 9: To Chrysolia and Beyond Chapter 10: Protect This House Chapter 11: Castle Crashers Chapter 12: Hello Darkness Chapter 13: The Agate Incident Chapter 14: Burn My Dread Chapter 15: Icebreakers Chapter 16: It's Not an Endearing Character Trait Chapter 17: Live by the Sword Chapter 18: The City's Hero Chapter 19: Trails of Cold Steel Chapter 20: Don't Make Waves... Chapter 1: A Modest Beginning Firstly, the hero of our story: Spoiler And the starter pokemon. It was a simple choice. Spoiler That Defiant ability will come in handy With barely time to meet each other, the two of us are challenged by Cain Spoiler Rather forward, this one We went into battle confident Spoiler not a good start We were then challenged by Victoria Spoiler no really, this does not bode well Apparently we still lack both strength and stamina, but that will soon change! With an assist from Bidoof -> Bibarel, we meet 2 new team members: Spoiler This is the first one that didn't explode before I could catch it...The first of a surprising number of Bugs to be seen on this Steel run Can finagle her into Steel Wormadam, don't know how much she can do for me though Our numbers now at three, we go to face our first real challenge, Fern Vs. Swag Jockey Fern Spoiler Lotad's Growl increased Piplup's attack, and he was helpless to stop our Peck assault. Fern's potion was wasted here Snivy led with wrap, which was likely a mistake. Vine Whip might have been a threat but by now 3 pecks are enough You mean this sweep? That's already a given at this point Turns out I didn't need the rest of my bug Steel based team for this guy. Piplup already redeemed herself! And, she evolves after this battle: Spoiler almost feels like a legit run now We get contracted into raiding the factory. I try to train Pineco and Burmy here, but the Team Meteor grunts use a lot of Rock types, which I (ironically) have trouble beating right now without Prinplup. Eventually we come get to the control room. Cue the next battle: Vs. Meteor Grunts Aster & Eclipse Spoiler As expected, both of theirs are faster than all of mine. Still, Prinplup takes one Shock Wave to nuke Magby with Bubblebeam. Magby's Fire Spin hits Budew. I then switched to Pineco after the second Shock Wave downs Prinplup, but soon realize Elekid is too strong to fight...Good thing Pineco and Burmy both know Protect! I was content to make Fern end the fight himself and spread the xp Our performance against Elekid was not inspiring with regard to the upcoming gym battle...Nonetheless, this is a victory against the still mysterious Team Meteor, even if ??? basically let us go. With that out of the way, we can get back to our journey. To the first Gym! Vs. Cheer Captain Julia Spoiler Unfortunately missed the battle with Helioptile... I led with Burmy. Helioptile threw out a Mud Slap which did next to nothing. Burmy's Bug Bite put it to critical, which Julia tried to heal next. A second Bug Bite downs it. I switch to Pineco for Voltorb. Sonicboom hits, Pineco uses Bug Bite to deal >1/2 damage. Pineco takes another Sonicboom before ending it. I switch again since Pineco is now critical. Prinplup tanks a Charge Beam before one-shotting with Bubblebeam. Emolga hits with Acrobatics but misses Charge Beam. It goes down to 2 Bubblebeams Blitzle's Charge Beam hits, but it is KO'd by a single Bubblebeam Electrode hits with Sonicboom, but Prinplup's Bubblebeam deals 1/2 damage. I use the second turn to heal Pineco Pineco's Selfdestruct ftw! It was a necessary sacrifice... Even though you were faster, potentially stronger, and had twice as many team members The first 2 attempts saw my team being Sonicboomed into oblivion. It became essential to have more than 40 hp on Pineco/Burmy so they had a shot at beating the Voltorbs. Victoria is waiting to tell us about the plant fiasco in Obsidia Ward. Clearly, we're going to need more help to solve this. Luckily, helping out the stranded hiker dude nets us this pretty: Spoiler Already the second mon with Sturdy. I'll be seeing a lot of that it seems. The team so far: Spoiler Shoutout to Bibarel, without whom we would be pretty much nothing Notable statistics of this chapter: Badges: 1 Steel type pokemon: 0/4 Bug type pokemon: 2/4 Maybe someday we'll look like a real type specialist, but that day is not today That's all for now, tune in next time if you wish. I hope this becomes entertaining for someone - I expect the hardest battles are still to come (obviously) -Dav Edited January 28, 2018 by EndearingCharacterTrait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EndearingCharacterTrait Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Well I'm back again. Let's get to it. Chapter 2: When Plants Attack Florinia asked our hero for assistance in investigating Obsidia Ward. The plants have caused great structural damage throughout the area, so to reach the source we are forced to travel though the slums. But Victoria is worried about us, so she challenges us to test our strength: Vs. Apprentice Victoria II Spoiler First up is Burmy vs. Ralts. Uneventful, Burmy's STAB Bug Bite is too powerful for Ralts to handle, so it goes down easily Pignite is next, but it goes down to 2 Bubblebeams while doing some damage with Arm Thrust Makuhita's Arm Thrust is not any more threatening at this point The battle was no challenge; Victoria hasn't yet caught up to the (over)leveling I had to do to beat Julia Victoria allows me to go on into the slums. Along the way we pick up this: Spoiler Drowzee won't be useful on this run, but I couldn't just leave that egg... At the end we come face to face with Scrafty's gang: Spoiler This was troublesome only because they liked to double target my weaker members. However, Prinplup's Peck made short work of them after being boosted by Intimidate -> Defiant All of this indoor fighting experience allows Burmy to rank up: Spoiler It's a Steel type y'all! We gon be alright Haven't yet figured out what type Wormadam's Hidden Power is...all I know is Fighting types resist it Escaping the slums, we get detoured to Coral Ward. Here we meet Amaria, who's puzzling how to rescue Oshawott. Luckily Cain swoops in to save the day with his poisonous Pokémon. Cain gets convinced to take Oshawott with him, and before leaving challenges us again: Vs. Pretty Boy Cain II Spoiler Pineco's first Take Down misses, and Grimer's Sludge hits. Pineco hits the second Take Down, and takes another Sludge. Recoil+damage puts her to critical I switch to Wormadam, who nulls a Sludge(finally). Wormadam's Hidden Power does neutral damage to Poison type apparently, but it still lacks power and the damage is small. Grimer boosts with Harden. Before the 2nd HP, Cain uses the 1st potion, and Hardens again after the 3rd. Then he disables HP, so I must use Tackle, which is also weak. However, with Sludge nulled Grimer can only hope to damage with Mud Slap, which does negligible damage. It takes several more turns (Cain used another potion) but Grimer goes down I switch to Onix, who sets Stealth Rock (probably not necessary, but why not) Onix is currently my fastest team member, and also is faster than Nidorino (always thought it was faster than it looked) Nido's Double Kick is Super effective, but we have high defense, so it does an even 20/49 damage. Onix hits a crit Rock Tomb (which still does less than half-Onix always had less attack than it looked too...) then takes another Double Kick to go into critical Wormadam is back in, and as expected Nidorino struggles to do damage. Each hit of Double Kick does single digits. Wormadam wins out after another long round, but thanks to Focus Energy and some criticals, she goes below half hp Poor little Oshawott here can't hope to compete with our superior stats Venonat too goes down with no trouble I mean, my defensive advantage will only go up from here Cain, too, still cannot match my level. But his type coverage will likely get better before mine does We then follow Amaria to the park, where she and Rini have gotten...well, tangled. That leaves us to face ZEL and PULSE Tangrowth VS. Meteor Admin ZEL Spoiler I lead with Pineco, just to see what happens really. Surprisingly, we are faster! Unfortunately, we still lack Poison resistance, so we use some weak Bug Bites before Selfdestructing Pineco's self-destruct damage was pitiful. However, Wormadam now nulls Acid Spray and double resists grass, so it is just a matter of out tanking Tangrowth Wormadam's increased defenses and new typing have already become my secret weapon, shows what I know... Still don't know about HP though. It was neutral again on Grass/Poison Tangrowth, so if my calculation is right it should be Rock or Dark Up next we go for our second badge. Stay tuned!

Could help as I said with Fire types, even though Wormadam is very slow, so I don't know whether it could tank a Fire attack first in order to be able to use HP Rock. But yes, it is useful!

EndearingCharacterTrait Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Another quick update, the battle for our second badge! Chapter 3: Graduating Onyx Trainer School Before we go on, I take a moment to pick up one more team member: Spoiler Now that's a steel type I could have had Klink before Victoria, but I didn't recognize at first that it does actually appear in the Railnet entrance. Usually I don't see it until after I have rock smash We attempt to go see Florinia but Fern stops us Fern closes the door in my face to force me to solve the gym puzzle because he felt like being an ass, and we have to take the long way around. Of course this fails to stop us, and we come face to face with Fern again. This time he decides to just fight us instead Vs. Swag Jockey Fern II Spoiler Lombre leads with Fake Out, then uses Nature Power -> Tri Attack, which does significant damage. Pineco's Bug Bite does a bit more than half, Lombre counters with Absorb for some reason and allows Pineco to take this round with another Bug Bite Roselia misses Leech Seed, Wormadam's Bug Bite does some damage. The second leech seed hits, and it becomes a battle of attrition... Roselia's actual attacks really don't do anything, but a combination of leech seed damage and super potions by Fern allow Roselia to win Roselia's Mega drain still does significant damage even resisted, but Klink outdamages with Gear Grind Servine is next. Already damaged, Klink goes down to Leaf Tornado after attacking with Gear Grind Servine uses Growth, Pineco attacks with Bug Bite, putting Servine to critical. Pineco goes down the next turn to boosted Leaf Tornado I sent in Prinplup next, who immediately went down Down to one-on-one...Onix survives Leaf Tornado with Sturdy, and ends it with Rock Tomb Couldn't beat me even at my most carless Somehow I almost lost this fight...letting Wormadam go down to Roselia was a mistake Unable to stop me, Fern leaves, and I can now face his (better) sister...The battle was, of course, troublesome Vs. Head Instructor Florinia Spoiler Maractus sets spikes, but Pineco's Bug Bite immediately sends it to critical health. One super potion and one Bug Bite later it is down My toughest opponent yet is (naturally) another steel type. Wormadam's Confusion does little damage and Ferroseed uses Leech Seed, so I switch I go for Charge + Thundershock in hopes of more damage, but the result is actually worse. Thundershock does succeed in paralyzing though. Ferroseed sets up Sandstorm, and I switch again to shake Leech Seed after taking Pin Missile Here I tried to set up Bide, but the first Pin Missile only hits twice. The second one misses, and only after my weak bide attack does the third hit 4 times. After Spikes + Sandstorm + Iron Barbs it is enough to down Prinplup Onix can't do much either, he is switched when his health goes yellow from Leech Seed damage Back where I started, the only option was to spam Confusion until it went down...This took a while, and it was necessary to heal as well, but since all the enemy could do was throw out weak Pin Missiles... Yeesh... Breloom wastes the first turn using Spore, which fails because of Overcoat. 3 Confusions KO Breloom, but I have to heal after the first Mach Punch and take 2 more before ending it, so Wormadam is low yet again. Pineco's Bug Bite again puts the enemy to critical, but Pin Missile from the stronger, faster Cacnea brings Pineco to low health. I switch again On the switch Wormadam tanks Pin Missile with a mere 1 hp! I knew my chances were slim if she went down...I used another Super potion before ending it Wormadam's Bug Bite is weak, I switch to avoid Leech Seed Pineco takes Cottonee's attack on the switch, and is then poisoned before the first Bug Bite. I expect the second to end it but... ... I bring in Onix to clean up. Just 1 left... One way or another. I waste 2 turns healing Onix and then Klink before realizing Cradily's only attack is Smack Down. Onix is able to finish it alone Somehow this only took 2 tries, though in the first Maractus was too effective at flinch-haxing through my health I was hoping the battle would be smoother. I had to use so many potions and the enemy wasn't even that strong...The team's relatively low attack power and inability to damage Ferroseed was a great weakness...of course, access to Fire attacks will be next to none on this run so... For winning we get TM Nature Power. Maybe it will come in handy? Florinia's badge in hand, we set off to the next destination: Jasper Ward! Until next time!

HongaarseBeer Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) I like your style of describing the battles, keep it up! Since steel types are generally slow, I advise you to get a bronzor as soon as possible (probs only possible when you're on your way to Calcenon though) to get trick room on it (if possible). That will make the Charlotte fight easier because her mons are faaast. You can also try to get it on Klinklang, maybe via a move tutor Edited July 2, 2017 by HongaarseBeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revan Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I have a Beldum in my old save file, if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndearingCharacterTrait Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 I think I have access to Bronzor and Beldum both before Samson, so I should be alright. And I think Trick Room is the TM recieved from Radomus, so it should work out. Thanks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
