spark95 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 What type would it be hardest to do a mono-run with? Quote
Omega_Ra1der Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 what version if reborn, bug without venomoth or steel Quote
Sheep Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I'd say bug is one of the easier ones actually because it has a huge amount of diversity in the early game. It's one of the only monos that won't leave you struggling for choice early. The hardest one would have to be ice wouldn't it? Are there even any early ice types? Anyway, moving this to Reborn City.

Knight_Teutonic Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I'd say Rock for it's lack of and coverage or Ice for its lack of diversity. Quote
Damage Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I think there are 8 catchable ice types, of course none of them being a starter. Unless you count protean froakie that you teach ice beam to. Hardest mono is probably grass or bug since both types offer infinitely less than they defend from in a game where most enemies have rock, fire, fighting and flying. Quote
derekwst3 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 steel since they are not available to early in the game<If you want a harder challenge I suggest something im calling typelock...... once you beat a gym you are not allowed to use pokemon of that type (I am not counting secondary type), so after the first gym, no more electric types, after the second no more grass......etc..... at the begging it will be easy but after the first gym 36 are unavailable, 102 by the second, 166 gone from the third, 189 forth, 217 fifth, 240 sixth, 333 seventh, 383 eighth, 411 ninth, 436 tenth, 484 eleventh, 514 gone from beating the twelfth gym leaving 207 pokemon 23 probably unavailable at the time legendarys leaving 184, only way we will be unlikely to finish is if the 18th gym is flying because I doubt anyone will use only tornadus and five noiverns Quote
Gaunt Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Definitely Ice once (if) you arrive at Apophyll and fight against Cal you're dead Quote
Jean mi Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Dragon ? There's no dragon early game, just maybe Noibat and Trapinch (if you're a gambler addict) Quote
primrose Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) The hardest one would have to be ice wouldn't it? Are there even any early ice types? once you get to beryl ward, you can get swinub, beartic's line, and smoochum from the citrine mountain cave. other than that, nothing else for a while i believe.

spark95 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 What do I do then, if I can't get an ice type at the beginning? Quote
Gaunt Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 What do I do then, if I can't get an ice type at the beginning? Go around with only your starter till you get your first Ice type (it will probably be the ice cream AKA Vanillite) then you ditch the starter (and practically lose the game because Vanillite sucks) Quote
Infel Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I would say Ice Type is also hardest monorun because Charlotte will destroy your face no matter what. She wrecks teams made with strategies specifically to beat her. Even if you leveled everyone to 100 and tried to OHKO her team when they actually obey you. But I guess that's the risk that goes will all monoruns, hitting a gym leader that's the opposite of your type. Quote
Shamitako Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Ice or Dragon probs, there's very few of those for most of the game, and especially early about the only thing you can get for Ice is the Vanilluxe line for quite some time. To the point where they stop being hard monos and more "use your starter until you get an Ice type" *Is intent on doing an Ice mono one of these days* Quote
Eternal Edge Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Mono Bird is the hardest obv that or mono ??? Quote
Zane0144 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Charolette shouldn't be too hard to ice. There are plenty of ice/water types, no shortage of thick fat. Eq or blizzard kills her field effect. Rain dance is available too. Quote

Rain dance is available too. The problem is you will die long before getting to her (there's Cal, Kiki, Samson and many MANY Rock types) Quote

There are 18 gym leaders in Reborn. One for each type. By the time you beat the last one, you'll have no pokemon left you can use. How are you beating the E4 and finishing the game? Quote

ShatteredSkys Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Dragon, have fun beating Julia with noibats. Quote

By the time you beat the last one, you'll have no pokemon left you can use. How are you beating the E4 and finishing the game? I think he means that whatever type the last gym leader uses you are stuck with. Then you can only use pokemon of the same type, but they must have it as their primary type (hence his comment of Noiverns). Quote
derekwst3 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 @kurotsune personally my idea is once you beat the final gym (18th) you can go with what ever you feel like, you have achieved a exhausting goal Quote
Xiri Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 As much as I love Ice types, a mono-run would be quite difficult in Reborn. Fighting Florinia with Vanillish sounds like torture. ...Something more horrendous would be fighting Cal with Vanillish, Beartic, Jynx and Mamoswine... Quote
