First Monotype Run - Rock! Help me pick my next one?
After hella playthroughs I finally decided to do a Monotype run, and I settled on the Rock type. I don’t normally mess with Rock types, but I thought it could be a good challenge given their weaknesses and man, I have a new appreciation for them honestly.
Lepidasaurex - Technician always slaps but putting it on Rampardos monstrous attack stat just makes it really nutty. Nickname is Lepída (Greek for bladed) Saur (Greek for lizard) and then Ex which I honestly forget but was something bug related LOL
Whitemane - The GOAT. Fast, hits hard, and fairly versatile. Got that much better when he learned Dragon Dance. My buddy came up with the nickname.
Barbas - Ngl, way less useful than I thought. Got OHKO’d a lot, but Thunder Wave was nice and dished out solid damage with Phantom Force and Stone Edge. Nicknamed after Clavicus Vile’s dog from Elder Scrolls series.
Sigrid - All around a solid pick throughout the game.
Fire type mitigated some Grass and Steel weaknesses and let me hit back hard. I can tell she would have looked AMAZING with a shiny though. Nicknamed after Sigrid Sunshield from AQW.
Aeon - My starter and another GOAT. Bro’s motto was “Your attack was super effective? Who decided that?” Amazing defenses with solid attack made him a staple. Also, the sprites for Eeveelution heads + Aggron bodies are absolutely peak. Whoever was behind them should absolutely get on designing some for the rest of the Eeveelutions, as they are an amazing contribution to this game. I also learned that Aron can learn Quiver Dance for some reason? BIG POTENTIAL. No real rhyme or reason to this nickname, I just liked it.
RoadRager - Awesome design, honestly didn’t use him much since I didn’t get him until Cinnabar. Sandstorm was nice and he was strong though. Nickname is just a play on Roadrunner.
BONUS
Murmaider - Decent early-mid game pick. Mixed attacker with decent defenses. Liked the design. Named after Dethklok song.
Stella - Started off a sad little bean and found her confidence. Not a bad pokemon honestly, but I just found less use with her as I went on. No real reason for the nickname.
Who is your favorite of the bunch? Have you done any monotype runs? Which run would you suggest I do next?
