First off congrats on finishing E16.

Well it gets aura sphere so thats kinda something... I guess.

Fairy types have 1.5X (I think. Might be 2X) Special defence on that field.

 

Edit: If your aggron's EV's are anything like what I suggested it isn't going to outspeed many things unfortunatly.

My headcannon is that maybe Togepi was a gift from Kiki? But Kiki is also a fighting specialist so I dunno. Yeah, the special defense boost + defeatist meant it didn't do much. To be honest, I wanted to suicide Plume Knight there so I would have a safe switch. 

 

Aggron is a bit slow, but he's doing pretty good so far. I might tweak his EVs a little bit, cause yes there are similar to what you suggested. Maybe I'll invest more in speed... I dunno. I don't really have to worry about that for a loooooong time.

I've just started reading this from this chapter but I would like to tell you a few things:-

1) That iron head from aggron should have completely koed the glaceon. Aggron has huge attack plus the supper effective should have definitely finished it, why did it not do so?

 

KIND OF SPOILERS FOR TITANIA GYM BATTLE BUT READ IF YOU FORGOT 

2) Titania has Fairy tale feild meaning all fire type moves are dragon type. So fire punch is useless.

 

 

3) Try enjoying new reborn city, you'll feel really good and there are some decent quests to do.

4) Just because of defeatist I would say that Aerodactyl is better than Archeops.

Crunch, Rock slide, fly and another move are very good coverage especially since Aerodactyl can outspeed lot of psychic and ghost types.

 

That's all

1) He could have rolled low? I'm not sure, really. ^^' 

 

2) Ah, well... Superpower or Earthquake should still be okay. I'm not really looking forward to her, truth be told, as both my runs are weak to Steel  But I'm sure I'll be able to handle it. 

 

3) Oh yeah definitely, I fully explored all the side content on my Fairy run. The jobs quest, the fortune teller/spy quest, the Kecleon thing, underwater... I did as much of it as I could. Like I said, I'm having a fair amount of burnout so I might not do them all with my Rock boys until Episode 17. 

 

4) That's true... Hm. Idk, I might train one up and put him in rotation. Nuking with Acrobatics is just so fun though

Aw thanks!  I think I'm going to start off with Rejuvination, but in the future I'll look into those! And if I decide to do any weird challenge or theme runs I'll be sure to put them here. To be honest, I kind of prefer doing challenge runs, since I get overwhelmed by just how many Pokemon there are to choose from  having a set monotype or theme makes it a lot easier to choose who to use, and to make sure they do the best they can.

Good work on this monotype @Orasha. I haven't read a lot of them on the forums but you paid me a courtesy, and the least I can do is return it and it was a pleasure to witness your run as it was still ongoing. As hard as I imagined monotypes could be, I'm still pleasantly surprised that a type like Rock made it through fairly well despite it's many weaknesses compared to the other types. Whatever challenges you plan on involving yourself in as you go forward, I'll be waiting and watching.

Thanks!  I was surprised at how few problems I had, too! I expected Rock to be a lot, well, rockier to use. I've definitely gained a bigger appreciation for the type. I can't wait for Episode 17, in no small part due to your upcoming Ladlylocke challenge! I really love theme runs and that one looks like it'll be both challenging and interesting

Congratulations for finishing this run. I really enjoyed reading it and am glad to see that Rock seems to be possible to do. At first I was sceptical because of its many weaknesses, but in the end it is probably similar as in my Grass run: you simply need to put more thought into it. 

 

Finally, I cannot wait to see how you will handle both Titania and Amaria

Yeah, figuring out the best selection of coverage moves was basically the only way to go. And finding good defensive Pokemon, since Rock has a lot of weaknesses. Cradily is the MVP in that regard  

 

It'll certainly be an interesting time. I expect a lot of trial and error as I discover their Pokemon and movesets
