The Might Of The Earth!(WSGreen's Ground Monotype Run).

[WSGreen]

Hello People of Reborn City! My name is WSGreen, (you know, the one that comes on the forums on in a blue moon.) and I have been seeing a lot of monoruns popping up lately and thought, what the heck why not. So with out further ado, here is my Ground monotype run of Reborn!

Chapter 1, Part 1: Introduction

 

Lets Get things started with a introduction to are hero.

This is Daisuke, age 18, Home region Kanto. And his starter for the he will be picking is....

Turtwig's ivs are all around decent (especially his attack and defense) and brave nature is really decent as well.

I'll post more once im further into the game.

 

There will be updates to the team down below for anyone curious.

Especially if you set up Curses with Grotle, it's gonna be super easy. Plus, Electric is weak to Ground. 

I don't get why people vote that it would be tough to defeat Julia with only 2 mons

I think it's mostly because of Sonic boom abuse on Julia's side. And Grotle doesn't learn any ground attacks, neither does Wormadam

Can always heal up with a Super Potion  

I haven't found her to be abusing Sonic Boom that much in my last run... Don't know why.

Didn't say it would be easy, but it isn't supposed to be overly easy. Having 3-4 Ground types vs Julia would've been a walk at the park.

True, true

it doestn mean that grotle and wormadam can't do damage without a ground move

curse razor leaf and wormadams bug bite can do a lot of damage

Yes, exactly. Plus, Grotle can easily set-up Curses vs Helioptile while healing up the Paralysis with Parlyz Heal.

Then, it will be easy to sweep. Only thing to be afraid of is Sonicboom, but can get 2 Super Potions pre-Julia, so there won't be any problem.

 

Also, Mudkip has Damp ability. Which prevents Explosions. Another nice thing to have vs Julia. 

So, I think that, with either Grotle/Marshtomp and Wormadam it's winnable.

Hell, @Gentleman Jaggi did it with Swampert alone!

That isn't usefull unless you are battling Julia without it being evolved as her field makes explosion part electric and marshtomp is part ground.

[HongaarseBeer]

I believe you can also get an Onix from a hiker in Peridot. It says so in the location guide

True, I hadn't considered the type change of Explosion due to the Electric Terrain.

You can, if you find him an appartment. But only after Julia. Same as the Numel quest.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'll be posting the first bit of my run as soon as i can. (Maybe later today or tomorrow.)

[Orasha]

Good luck! I'm sure Fern will be really fun for you in the early game  

[WSGreen]

Chapter 1, Part 2: First encounter with Fern.

 

After obtaining Landmass, I did the battles with Kain and Victoria and went outside to catch a few mons for hm users for a later date ( I have the TMX mod installed). But while I was catching some bidoof I found this little guy.

 

After that lucky encounter I cleared out all of the bridge and made my way to get my second mon Sandbag the Burmy.

 

I grinded her up to lvl 20 (Which was a pain to do.) and I used a few common candies to lvl her down to 15. Afterwards I lvl'ed Landmass to 15 and decided to take on Fern.

 

            

            

Fern was alot easier then i thought (Sandbag FTW). After him getting but-hurt about losing, he left me alone. After which I healed and went on to the next part of the game.
