For those who dont know what a duotype run is the main rules are,
- You declare two types at start of the run.
- Each pokemon on your team should have atleast one of their types match one of the declared types.
- The run officially starts when you can catch your first pokemon of said type.
- A hm slave can be kept incase it is required.
So I recently did a duotype run of pokemon black. I chose rock and ghost as the types as,
So I got a choice of 6 out of,
- They did not have enough mons on there own for monotype runs.
- They combined have a decent spread of pokemon throughout all the locations in the game.
I am at gym 7, so the run is not over as of now. My team right now is Coffagrigus, Gigalith, Crustle, Archen, Litwick, and Jellicent(hm slaved to surf and waterfall | not gonna use it | to be replaced by golurk)
- Gigalith
- Crustle
- @Fossil (archeops/carracosta)
- Coffagrigus
- Jellicent
- Chandelure
- Golurk
The hardest gym by far was clay. Oh my god that fcker is hard af. I had to teach my Gigalith solar beam and give him miracle seed just to get through.
This run officially added sandile, watchdog and driblur lines to rage-inducing mons.
Sandile and co are ground dark types (aka worst type combo for me) with intimidate(hint : My major source of damage is physical). They learn crunch and ground type trapping moves making them painful to go against.
Watchdog : Ughhhhhhhh. Confuse ray + yawn + Super fang.
Exadrill : Ground steel with stupid damage on ground moves + learns crunch.
So an unexpected strategy that I realized was Coff's mummy + Archeops. As for other strategies,
--------------------------------------
- will-o-wisp + hex + rocky helm on coff (now replaced by shadow ball)
- Acrobatics + mummy on archeops
- Headbutt/anyrocktypemove + weak armour on boldore (now Sand stream + oneshot with headbutt/rock/bulldoze)
- Expert belt on Crustle
- Litwick is kinda meh right now coz of underlevel
So what are your thoughts on monotype/duotype runs? Ever done any such run?
