Pokémon FireRed: Flying Monotype (Post Run Review)
Version Played: GBA Rules: Only Pokémon that are Flying, part Flying or evolve into Flying types may be on the team at any given time. (Charmander OK, Scyther OK unless it evolves) No Legendary/Mythical Pokémon allowed. Goal: Elite Four (Any%)
Challenge Rating: ★✩✩✩✩ Fun Rating: ★★★★✩ Overview: Super simple without being completely free. Flying is a fun type with a lot of hybrids to keep some diversity. The lack of a Physcial/Special split kinda hurts, but that's old Pkmn for you! But this one was fun. A lot of mons made me surprised at how versatile some can be, casually! The team was as follows: Inferno?! (Charizard) Oberon (Butterfree) Manafa (Gyarados) Kweh ' v ' (Dodrio) Freyja (Scyther) Haruka (Dragonite) Final Thoughts/Recommendation: This is another on the list of good entry level challenge runs! I picked this one for its relative ease, since it was sandwiched between two other hard runs, at least in terms of intended scheduling. Truth be told, I wanted an easy time because I wanted a break between tougher runs. That said: Any monotype can be made easy or hard depending on the type used. Flying is relatively easy. Butterfree pulls a lot more weight than one might expect, and Dodrio is a beast in any capacity. Special attackers for my run were Charizard and Dragonair/Dragonite. Any other fliers might be viable, though. Not a lot in terms of walls, surprisingly. Just don't overlevel for Surge and remember that Brock doesn't actually have any Rock-type moves. (DISCLAIMER: Rare Candy cheat WAS used before the Elite Four to cut down on multiple hours' worth of grinding. This is justified to me, because I'm denying 'mons of extra EVs at the end of the game, and all I'm ultimately doing is cutting down on time spent grinding.)

Pokémon monotype team for Sakura: Flying.
Send me a Pokémon Type and I’ll make a Team for my muse using only Pokémon of that type.
#So I know the meme is monotype#but flying type is usually paired with another type#lol#majority of it is normal type#with three pokemon actually being pure flying#one of them being tornadus

Moth of the Week
Kentish Glory
Endromis versicolora
The Kentish glory was first described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus. It is a part of the family Endromidae which was created in 1810 by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer. This is a monotypic genus, meaning there is only one species in it being the Kentish glory.
Description The male and female of this species are clearly told apart by their colors and size.
Males are darker and more orange than females with feathery antennae
Males hindwings are orange
Females are paler/more washed out in color and larger to carry eggs
The forewings of this moth are a marbled black, orange, and white. The outer edge of the wing called the outer margin is brown with white stripes along the veins. The females hindwings are the same marbled black, brown, and white with a brown edge. The males hindwings are orange with brown markings.
The legs and antennae are black while the thorax is brown and white. The females abdomen is black while the males abdomen is a similar orange to the hindwing.
Sources differ on wingspan range.
Wikipedia: 50 - 70 mm (≈1.97 - 2.76 in)
Butterfly Conservation: Male 27 - 30 mm (≈1.06 - 1.18 in), Female 34 - 39 mm (≈1.34 - 1.54 in)
Diet and Habitat The larvae of this species eats mainly birch (Betula species) but will eat other trees and shrubs such as Alnus, Corylus, Tilia and Carpinus species. Adults do not feed.
This moth’s range used to be much larger, such as living in the southern and western English counties of Kent, Sussex, Berkshire, East Anglia, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire and the southeastern Welsh county of Monmouthsire.
Now this moth is restricted to living in the central and eastern Highlands of Scotland. It is seen in the Scottish counties of Perthshire, Inverness-shire, Morayshire, Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire.
They prefer to inhabit open birch woodland and lightly wooded moorland.
Mating Females use pheromones to attract males, who can detect them from 1-2 km (≈0.62 - 1.24 mi) away.
This species has one single generation per year. The females lay their eggs, which are yellow at first then purplish-brown, in batches of 10-20 eggs on low birch scrub at an average height of 1.2m (≈1.31 yd). They prefer to let them on sheltered, unshaded saplings, usually the first few batches are near where the females emerged. The eggs hatch after 10 to 14 days.
Predators Males usually fly during the day from mid morning to early afternoon while females fly at dusk. Because of this males are presumably preyed on by daytime birds while females are preyed on by bats.
Fun Fact The females do not fly as strong as males due to the eggs they carry as it weighs them down. Females tend to lay their first few batches of eggs close to where they emerged due to this fact.

Thanks for coming to Discount QiJiu Week where I just put post cool AU ideas I want to see
Pokemon AU
Peak Lords are all Regional Gym Leaders. YQY and SQQ are a doubles gym bc SQQ absolutely refuses to do the work of making different teams to fight fewer badge trainers, so YQY does it for him lmao
(Aside: In the cartoon where you follow Red rather than Ash/Satoshi it shows that the Gym Leader's combat team changes based on how many badges the challenger already has)
SQQ is Grass Monotype and YQY is rock monotype.
YQY got SQQ an eevee as a companion pokemon he could evolve into a leafeon, but it evolved very quickly into a Sylveon SQQ is extremely protective of and gives spa days, jewelry, clothes, etc. YQY was an aspiring champion, but there was a terrible accident where he was badly injured (severely torn ACL, he can mostly walk okay but has a cane for bad days) and his shelgon got shards of an everstone embedded in its flesh
(Bagon-shelgon-salamence line is about a pokemon that wishes to fly and actually can in its final evolution, the everstone prevents ever evolving, ergo can never fly)
#sy is standing champion in this au#and lbh is aspiring to be the best etc#lbh has a salamence so sqq loathes him for having what qi ge can't#svsss#qijiu

What type would each Pokemon villain be? Including Tera types.
Sure! I like playing Pokémon type tarot or whatever you want to call it. I guess Tera types could be like a hidden side, one that shows up in fewer situations, or one that is more variable.
Giovanni: Ground/Normal (Tera fighting)
In addition to it being his type specialty, ground is fitting with Giovanni in that he’s a grounded person. He has a plan B, C, and D, his organization is well-structured enough to go on without him for years, and while he has grand goals, he’s fine approaching them slowly and realistically. Normal is because his goal is pretty mundane compared to other villains and because of his persian and kangaskahn. And he’s shown to greatly value Pokémon battling and his abilities in it, thus the fighting Tera.
Maxie: Fire/Ground
It’s the type of primal groudon and his camerupt. Ground represents how his team is more organized than Team Aqua and his general preference for structure, and fire represents his emotionality and anger.
Archie: Water
It just seemed right for someone this obsessive to be a monotype. This one needs no explanation. It also fits him being cooler-headed and needing/wanting less structure than Maxie.
Cyrus: Flying/Dark (Tera electric)
Aside from flying and dark being his most-used types, flying represents that he’s ambitious to the point of being unrealistic and that he doesn’t see limits. Dark is for his selfishness and deceit. And electric is for his association with technology, rotom, and his crackling passion (Tera because he hides it).
Volo: Fairy/Ghost (Tera dragon)
It seemed right for Volo to be represented by the types most associated with myth, and both ghosts and fairies are associated with impishness. Dragon is the type of power and grand goals, and it’s his Tera type because he pretends to just be a quirky merchant while secretly being very strong and ambitious. Plus, dragon and ghost are the types of Giratina.
N: Grass/Dragon (Tera: fire or electric)
Grass is the type of calm, nurturing and kindness, as well as fragility. Dragon is the type of power, royalty and mysticism. Fire and electric can both represent passion, with fire being a more romanticizing passion (truth) and electric being a goal-driven one (ideals). Which N would have would depend on the version.
Ghetsis: Dark/Dragon
For his selfish, soulless, underhanded ambition and daring nature, there could be no other type but dark/dragon. It’s also the type of his ace. Dragon also suits his refined presentation.
Colress: Steel/Electric (Tera flying)
They’re the types associated with technology. Colress seems like he has a good balance between calm sturdiness and goal-driven passion. Flying is for his irresponsible ambition- he sees no limits, even when he absolutely should be seeing moral ones.
Lysandre: Fire/Flying (Tera dark)
Lysandre is a man with high ideals and a passion that could easily become very dangerous. Dark is for his deceitfulness and hatefulness, and it’s his Tera type because he hides it from the public.
Lusamine: Poison/Fairy
In contrast to the uncaring dark type, poison types often become harmful because of obsession and high, uncontrolled emotions. Fairy type represents her love of aesthetics and generally feminine personality.
Guzma: Bug/Fighting
In addition to being a bug specialist, Guzma prides himself on being a pest, unwilling to show respect for that which he doesn’t find respectable. He’s also highly aggressive, angry and destructive.
Rose: Steel (Tera poison)
Monotype because he’s obsessive, poison because he’s toxic and to associate him with Eternatus.
Piers: Dark/Normal
Aside from it being the type of his ace, I associate the normal type with an appreciation for the mundane, which fits with his goals of caring for his town and his sister.
Penny: Fairy/Electric (Tera fire)
Ngl, fairy is mostly because of sylveon, but it also represents her naughtiness and rebelliousness pretty well. Electric is because of her tech skills, and fire is because, though it’s understated, she’s clearly a very passionate person.
Kieran: Grass/Poison
Kieran is gentle, sweet and meek by nature, but he’s also highly emotional and has acted in some very toxic ways because of it and his obsessions with Ogerpon and strength.

I lost the post about Gotham having Pokemon starters and —
I don't go here, I know the bare minimum shit you need to know about Pokemon, but let me tell you what I do know about starters:
They're all three stage evolutions
They're all local to their region and can be captured later on in game/show
They are either water, grass or fire types
I assume they're all monotypes in their first stage but I could be wrong.
They are not rare or uncommon for their region
So if we pick starters they have to be reflective of all of New Jersey, not just Gotham. Preferably, even, all of the New England area, to give us a proper range for a region and greater variation of Pokemon species.
Various birds, bats, fish and insects with our most common typing being ground, plant, water, flying and poison types. This is just the ones coming to mind immediately, not mentioning larger mammals and reptiles in the area.
That said, I think it would be hard to find a fire type that isn't a product of the city environment. Chemical spills, repeated bombings, radiation poisoning and even just the presence of weapons and items have shown to influence the entire existence of a pokemon family.
...
Stuff to play around with while I get business done today, I guess.

Have you ever been to kalos? If so have you ever met any sky trainers?
I haven't been to Kalos unfortunately! The only other place I've been 'sides Sinnoh was Galar 'couple years ago to try the Gym Gauntlet there, and it was... An experience.
I've met many monotype trainers in my life tho, and I find Sky battles really interesting, if a bit... confusing? I'm not sure of what makes a 'mon qualified to participate in one 'sides the Flying type, but they're amazing to watch for sure!
#for me id rather to be with my own two feet on the ground thank you#pokeblogging#pokemon irl#clay talks#ask#rotomblr

SwSh HC's I've had in the Vault for the past few years (removing various minor OCs)
Full Names
Leon Hart Eudios
Hop Astralis Eudios
Soren “Skyler” Griffin Eudios (The boys' dad)
Amelia Katharine Paganous (The boys' mom) (she use to be the major league flying type gym leader of Hammerlocke! :D)
Raihan Vouivre (Wyvern) Laburn (Laburn from a friend on the Champion Time Server)
Nessa Locke (hehhe loch ness monster joke)
Oleana Delila (I don't recall from where)
Malcolm Rose (I don't recall from where)
General Hcs (straight from my notes)
Raihan’s been all over the world, travelling seven regions before settling on Galar because its close to home and because he made the most amount of friends there
The process in which a new Champion is chosen if the current one dies or retires is complicated. They have to have a list of at least four trainers who they would recommend for the Champion position in such cases ready, and then those selected trainers would have to battle with the Gym Leaders and Elite Four (assuming that the people on the list isn’t a Leader or Elite)
Mustard’s successor was a Poison, Ice, and Psychic type specialist who hailed from Galar’s Tundra
Leon wrote down Sonia and Raihan as who would be the ones to take his crown should anything tragic befall him, but he also has Mustard on that list just in case
Ages: 12 (Allister), 14 (Hop), 15 (Marnie, Bede), 17 (Bea, Avery, Klara, Hyde), 20 (Sonia, Leon, Milo), 21 (Raihan, Piers, Nessa), 22 (Gordie)
Had the roles been reversed a bit, Sonia would've been Galar's Champion
That's due to Sonia being a potential Sword to Leon's potential Shield, the wolves choose people who were always set to be on even playing fields in terms of combat capabilities. But if there was ever a point where that balance is tipped over to the favour of one, then the synergy between the Sword & Shield together in combat would be disastrous
Kabu's Team when he was a lad: Pelliper, Relicanth, Vileplum, Dusclops, Altaria, Manectric, Linoone, Mightyena, Magcargo, Camperupt, Shiny Ninetales, and Blaziken
A lot of trainers generally have monotype teams due to the easier training, food, and care requirements
Marnie had a surprisingly normal Gym Challenge, outside of telling off Team Yell every now and then, she was pretty much just Vibin’
Isle Of Armor Hc's
Leon & Sonia both got a Kubfu but Sonia gave up too soon and Leon got lost
Sonia would’ve chosen the Tower of Water and Leon would’ve chosen the Tower of Darkness
Sonia thought that since she’s friends with Nessa and thus familiar with water types, it would’ve been easier on her to go through the Water Tower
Leon thought the Tower of Darkness sounded tougher, but after getting a bit too lost he decided that either would work but he would’ve preferred the Tower of Darkness
Raihan started his battle practice with Sandstorms in the Isle, which continued to happen once he found a place that would regularly have and be accustomed to Sandstorms (ex: the Desert in Hoenn)
Despite that, he caught his Tyranitar in Kalos and brought it along for his journey through Unova
Klara and Avery are siblings who hail from one of the settlements on the Tundra. To try and bring more fame and attention to their precious home, Klara tried to become a popstar and Avery tried to become a famous Psychic alongside some distant relatives
They quickly switched to try and become Gym Leaders once those goals prove to be too difficult, but after finding a more than worthy challenger in the MC & Co.
The Master Dojo is actually a multi-story building but also an extremely wide one, not as wide as most would except but wider than they think
When not used to be a trail for the one who has the Isle’s Sacred Armour, its a regular training building
But if one requests it, they can have the special training activated for them and a few others for a session
Mustard did use to be the Stow-On-Side Gym Leader, but that was years before Bea’s time so she doesn’t even know it until she visits the Isle for training
Hyde’s a teenager, he’s just really short
He half-assedly participated in the Gym Challenge and got his ass kicked by her in the Cup
Honey is still part of her old Company, but as a distant investor and consultant
Mustard only allows himself to go all out on Four trainers: Leon, Honey, Sonia, and Opal
Sonia doesn’t know that she’s one of them because Self-Esteem Issues
He adds Marnie, Bede, and Hop to this list once he sees their potential
He also adds Raihan when that boy finally becomes Leon’s official Rival, Piers when he finally finds confidence in his battling skill, and Nessa
Leon, surprisingly, didn’t get lost in the Isle except for the one time when he was going to the Tower with Kubfu, but that was due the raging Sandstorms
Sonia also had a Kubfu, but due to storm she gave up and returned it, no objections
Leon & Sonia’s starters are actually from Mustard, but due to someone pulling some strings, they got them as their first Pokemon
Leon’s capable of hand-to-hand combat, Sonia’s an expert on disarming someone with a weapon
Despite this, Leon’s a Shield and Sonia’s a Sword
They returned their Kubfu to Mustard because they felt like they failed
In another timeline, Mustard would give those two to the next Sword and Shield, to— Hop
In another timeline, Mustard would give those two to the next Sword and Shield, to— Victor
In another timeline, Mustard would give those two to the next Sword and Shield, to— Gloria
Mustard wasn’t the Champion Leon had to battle to be crowned, but Mustard knew that if Leon could match him— and eventually beat him— that that boy could become Galar’s Champion
Mustard’s lost partner Pokemon is not known by the press of current times, only Opal truly knows what it was. As does Honey. Some guess it was an Eevee, many more suggest an Eeveelution
The only way Sharpedo don't go after you while in the water is either to use a boat or have several water type Pokemon out and around for your own safety
Don't use red boats though, they confuse it for prey. Leon and Piers learned the hard way
Nessa refuses to train any of the Psyduck line because back in the Isle as a challenger, she saw one sneeze in a cave and released a bit shockwave that punted her to a wall and knocked her out
Honey terrifies everyone of the young Adult Crew (Piers, Leon, Sonia, Raihan, Nessa, Milo, and Gordie) as much as they adore her
Crown Tundra Hcs
Malcom was the one who always looked out for both of them, him and Peony, when they were kids so Peony could have a childhood
This, in turn, made Malcom a lot more serious and ‘mature’ at a younger age while Peony is a bit too naive as an adult
The Mayor of the settlement is Klara and Avery’s grandfather, who raised them alongside the settlement after he took them in after their parents died
Avery and Klara practically inhaled and ate up every piece of information they could find on the King, because he could make their home better, right? He could make it so their friends don’t have to leave with their parents to the big city, right?
Calyrex watched Klara and Avery grow up, the two kids being it only source of power for years, but then they left, not long after giving up on believing it’s ‘fairy tale’
That doesn’t stop the two siblings from trying to restore the faith in the lost King, especially after hear two kids younger than they speak vividly and furiously about myths and legends and gods

@cinnabar-surfin //don't mind this being a direct copy paste from one of my posts//
Trivia for you;
A few glitch pokemon are dual-monotypes. For example, ♀, ▶ A and 4 h are both normal/normal typing, they react as normal, normal typed pokemon. In a similar vein, some glitch pokemon have types that don't even exist, the 'default' L shaped missingno, and it's sibling the defaulted L shaped 'm both are 'bird' types, a typing that does not exist but seem to be similar to flying.
Very interesting...
In the case of a normal/normal type, does it make it 4x weak to Fighting or is it still 2x?

Yaaaah! I finally finished one! And because it is my birthday, you will be nice and listen. Like a lot of older Pokemon players, I've found sometimes an extra challenge is in order. Nuzlocke runs are pretty fun, but being honest after a few I learned the real key is patience and so they don't have the same panache. One has eluded me, the Monotype run. Pretty self-explanatory. I couldn't dream of any other type but my beloved Grass buddies. I've tried a few different games but it ends up grinding me out and I lose interest, because this one is a lot harder. So I solved that by trying a game in the series I hadn't actually played yet. Black 2.
Going in largely blind made this one a real test. But it was a game surprisingly conducive to a Grass-only run. You could get a lot early. The test in these compared to a Nuzlocke is you really have to understand the intricacies of the type. Even in Gen 1 where you have limited options, you can't just depend on supereffective shots and having all the best attack moves. You really want to try and diversify, lean into gimmicks and craft a flexible strategy that can handle hurdles.
You can see the final HoF team up above, what ended up making BW2 a good Gen for this was having a lot of options. By the end I had a second team of Grass-Types I could have made. So let's walk through the gang:
Udon the Serperior was my rock, and I knew that'd be the case going in. I've used mostly Grass starters and this big beautiful snek is my favorite. It's like a physical Milotic and that's just so perfect, not a lot of type coverage but Leaf Blade rips through so much backed by the golden combo of status moves in Leech Seed/Coil. That plus Leftovers ensured a strong baseline, and I got a kick out of some of the shenanigans I could pull by rounding it out with Dragon Tail.
Chuggz the Ferrothorn was a project, and one I couldn't have done without the investment. I lagged in the tricky midgame around Skyla the hard flying-type gym largely because I needed to keep the Exp Share on him. But once he hit 40 and evolved he started to dominate. Neutralizing that big poison weakness was crucial to dealing with Team Plasma and so many fights were won off of the classic Iron Barbs/Rocky Helmet combo. Toxic & Ingrain just let this bastard sit there and take abuse, Iron Head and ultimately Thunderbolt also gave me some nice coverage options.
Cabbage the Whimsicott was a great all-around addition. I got one early thanks to the rustling grass feature and while I was initially bummed to not get Prankster as the ability Infiltrator ended up being more important. Because this guy was the big coverage all-star. Kept Leech Seed because it was tanky and sometimes I needed him to set it for Serperior, but moves like Hurricane, Psychic, and Shadow Ball ensured the cotton ball stuck around.
Bongo the Simisage came online late, but ended up being necessary. His speed and moves like Acrobatics and Rock Slide did a lot. But he was such a glass cannon he couldn't do much more than fill in a couple of niche roles. Usually Serperior was just so much of a better physical attacker. What I love about these runs though is how they finally give me an opportunity to use all the other grass types a normal playthrough makes redundant.
Bara the Roserade was one that disappointed me for how long I've thought of trying one. It hit hard as a special attacker, harder than Whimsicott...but Whimsicott could take a hit and was a lot faster. Roserade felt like it'd crumple to even neutral type moves. It did find a great niche though for some specific hurdles. Weather Ball. Thought Sunny Day would be a bigger deal initially, but Rain Dance for troublesome fire moves ended up being the real deal. Also had some fun keeping Toxic Spikes so Serperior could juggle.
Chopper the Sawsbuck...I regret giving him such a cool name. This is one I was excited about trying the run in Unova. I love Stantler in GSC, thought Sawsbuck would be the same. No. He sucked ass. Like, black hole. I couldn't do anything because you'd crumple if another Pokemon sneezed at you, and the one thing I loved in Jump Kick? You kept missing those when we needed them. The only thing he did for the whole E4 run was give me a safe switch and an Aromatherapy setting up Rain Dance for Shantaul's Chandelure.
I also had a Leavanny (Leo) that did work early on. But the strategy worked pretty well. Toxic Spikes and try to check anything in the way of either Serperior or Ferrothorn setting up then grinding opponents out. Surprisingly didn't use status effects much for an all-grass team. Once I got Toxic of course it became a staple but that's late. Leech Seed was crucial though.
Cheren wasn't much trouble but Roxie was such a high wall early. Poison plus needing to get past her for the best options. Burgh was surprisingly easy for an unfavorable matchup, that's where the Leavanny got to shine and Whimsicott made his debut. Elesa's Emogla got a little scary but grass resisting electric helps, Clay got flattened. Skyla's birds might have been too much if they came before I really rounded out the team. Even moreso with Drayden coming right as I finally had Ferrothorn as an option. Then of course Marlon had no chance being a late-game water gym.

Moth of the Week
Chimney Sweeper
Odezia atrata
The chimney sweeper is a part of the family Geometridae. It belongs to a monotypic genus, meaning it’s the only moth species in the genus Odezia, which was created in 1840 by Jean Baptiste Boisduval. It was first described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus.
Description This moth is mostly black with white on the tips of the forewing (called the “apex”) and on the fringe of the forewing.
There have been a few variations in color:
- Odezia atrata pyrenaica, which is found in Pyrenees and central Italy, the wings are “dusted” in a brownish yellow with a stronger color on the forewing.
- Ab. Odezia atrata nigerrima, described by Paul Thierry-Mieg, was a female with no white apex or fringe.
- This moth’s wings may become brown from wear over time.
Wingspan Range: 23–27 mm (≈0.91 - 1.06 in)
Forewing Range: 12–15 mm (≈0.47 - 0.59 in)
Diet and Habitat The caterpillars of this species mainly eats the flowers and seeds of pignut (Conopodium majus).
This moth is distributed in the Palearctic region. In the west, it’s range reaches the Iberian Peninsula through western and central Europe and the British Isles. In the east, they can be found in Sakhalin and the Amur-Ussuri region. I’m the north, this moth reaches central Fennoscandia. Finally, in the south they are found in Italy to the Balkans.
These moths were once very common in Austria, but now the species is a rare occurrence.
They inhabit ditch edges, meadows, bogs, moors, lake sides, chalk downland, limestone grassland, woodland edges and hedgerows in southern Britain
Mating In Belgium and the Netherlands this moth can be seen flying from June to August. It presumably Nate’s during this timeframe.
Predators This moth flies during the day, especially in sunshine. They are presumably preyed on by birds and other daytime predators.
Fun Fact The chimney sweeper can be confused for the Small Blue butterfly (Cupido minimus), which also lives in the Palearctic region, as its wings may become brown from wear.

Did you find your Sun/Moon playthrough?
I’m gonna assume you meant to ask if I finished the game yet, and the answer is nope.
Unfortunately I just stopped posting about it because I kinda fell into a Pokémon trance and freaking forgor about it.
Here’s the team now:
I finished Ula-Ula and the whole Aether Paradise plot, and am currently on my way to get the moon flute.
Some of you might have realized it already, but sadly I… I had to remove Lady from the team. My team had just way too many monotypes and I needed something against flying and Fairy types… She will be missed. Arktis the Sandslash has big footsteps to follow.
Also, yeah I know that I used a Sandslash in another game already (Shoutout to anyone who remember Tectra from my Soulsilver Liveblog), but Arktis is an Alolan-form. Basically a completely new thing.
