Some of the best theorymonning i've seen in this genre. You actually acknowledge game-specific issues, like Fairy not existing in any Johto game, and mechanical specifics like Bugsy not actually being able to harm a psychic mon despite his typing. Most people who do this just assume modern mechanics everywhere and only consider type matchups per gym. excellent work
Water in my favorite type…I always have to have a Water-type on my team every game, no exception. I’ve never actually considered doing a mono-run of it before though and now this got me thinking about it.
@@stephensherwin8621 no you can also get Poliwag in HGSS, it’s a 5% old rod spawn in Violet town. You can also get Krabby, Goldeen and Tentacool as 5% spawns before Bugsy.
@@Wynneception in crystal at night u can catch poliway in the grass before the first gym at night. The old rod is available after the first gym with the available captures u mentioned in all the Johto games :)
You can get oshawott simipour tirtogua and palitoad all before the 4th gym. Then immediately after you catch ducklett,beat skyla and cheren and boom 3 new team members
Mono water for Johto would be great for me. I love totodile,lanturn,mantine, and qwilfish over most pokemon in the series so i would be so happy to have a mono water challenge here!
As a mono water player since gen 1, after beating Surge you can get flash, then go to route 10, rock tunnel, come down through Lavender town, go all the way down to the fishing guru on route 12 to get super rod, go back to route 10 catch slowpoke, go back to Vermillion catch Shellder. When you get surf get the free Lapras, and go down to seafoam and get Staryu then evolve it. You end up with Blastoise, Gyarados, Lapras, Cloyster, Starmie, and Slowbro they best mono Water competitive team. If you don't want Lapras Tentacruel is a good substitute as well and can befound with the super rod on route 12.
I especially like Hoenn (well, Sapphire/Emerald) for this because the starting trio of Swampert, Pelipper and Ludicolo shares no weaknesses. Water/Ground famously has its single quadruple weakness to Grass, Water/Flying takes super effective damage only from Rock and Electric, and Water/Grass cancels out *both* of Water's weaknesses in exchange for having 3 out of Grass' 5 weaknesses in Bug, Flying and Poison. You're not even past the first *trainer* and you've got your defensive coverage dealt with already!
I did my first official one with BD/SP. That game was impossible not to use a water type and the variety in both rounds meant i was inevitably going to have a solid team of six. Didn't even use Palkia in round one.
I've actually managed to get by in Pokemon: Brilliant Diamond using Water-types(admittedly, I did struggle against Gardenia, but I quickly found a work around). Plus, I've completed a run of Water-types in Shield successfully, too.
Man, I got an idea to do a mono-water nuzlocke in Fire Red because there were so many powerful water types Id just never used, and you absolute hit the nail on the head with regards to the issue of availability. The first two gyms are pretty easy, and even LT Surge can be beaten pretty consistently by teaching Dig to your Wartortle. Erika is where I hit the wall though more than once. You have no way to hit her for super effective damage beyond a Gyarados flamethrower, and Gyarados is actually terrible in the low to mid levels in Kanto, with no move better than Tackle to use its good Attack stat on. I'm considering giving it another go, but this time voiding the Species Clause so I can just get a bunch of Gyarados. I think that's just about the only way to do it, short of being an actual genius/very lucky.
Been waiting for this one! I was wondering where Hoenn was going to fall on this list, no surprise it's toward the top. I know I've mentioned my Water monotype team in Sapphire but maybe I should try that in Alola too, I had no idea there were so many options that I can probably create 2 full teams of Water types.
I actually feel like Water types have become more difficult to obtain lately. It might be my bias but with how they disposed of the rods in recent games and how nerfed it was in Alola (only able to be used in certain spots). I feel like that blocks most water types until you get surf and that has become one of the latest substitute for HM’s. Also any clue what type you are considering next?
I don't know, I feel it's more like there are a lot more other types available now and Water has just become a smaller percentage of the overall pool so it FEELS like less, when really they're just not overrepresented anymore... As for next? Electric seems appropriate as the next most "important" type?
@@emperorcubone Maybe but I still think part of it is how landlocked we’ve been the past couple games. For example surf has been pretty late game lately, which isn’t unusual but without the rods it leaves us waiting until the end if for most options that feel like they should be early or mid. Heck, while Magikarp is still comparably easier to get, it is still tricky with the new mechanics with aiming the pokeball and haveing to wait and hope the pokemon we want will just appear. Not to mention it is so easy to miss a lot of water pokemon. Furthermore surf has been much more limited in newer games with only some small sea areas but mostly lakes and rivers that feels small.
I started a mono-Water in FireRed once to test out the GBA core on my MiSTer. Since I'm playing to level caps, I had two very memorable grinding moments due to overleveling my starter: For Misty, I tackled everyone on Route 4 with Magikarp until it reached level 20. Both Wartortle and Gyarados eventually became overleveled in Rock Tunnel so I had to switch to just Vaporeon for . I, of course, savescummed in Team Rocket's casino for the Ice Beam TM to steamroll the Grass gym. I still haven't beaten FireRed in any form despite having 3 concurrent monotype runs on different devices.
Water is my favorite type, although I do prefer dual-types cuz it makes it easier to cover more types. So if I was to have a mono Water-type team I'd have all them be dual-typed, preferably ones that can counter Water's admitably few weaknesses, so only Grass and Electric.
Honestly hoenn would be great for a water mono run just because swampert is in a good position for majority of encounters in the region, also the semi early wingull and lotad are pretty good additions.
I have to disagree about Hisui. It’s probably one of the best places to mono water. You have a lot of type variety and the game gives you answers to any challenge you could face. Liligant? Gyarados. Electrode? Tentacruel and Walrein (Palkia too for the rematches). Empoleon shreds through Volo after Garchomp goes down
Now that the starter types are done, ground type? Also if you do fairy (and dark/ steel to a lesser extent), will you factor in the Pokémon that were given that type retroactively? Or just as they were when that region was first released? And will remakes factor in at all?
I did Water the most in my Monotype Runs, but I'll talk about my run in Black. I did get a Panpour before the third Gym, it just took me an hour of waiting for rustling grass. For the rest of the team, Samurott was consistently good, Seismitoad and Swanna covered the weaknesses to Electric and Grass, Carracosta and Jellicent were the tanks. Jellicent even toxic stalled Hydreigon to death.
The Jellicent I used in Unova was a beast! But I did trade it over near the start of the game since I couldn't wait that long to capture one naturally...
The old rod right after the 1st gym gets you Poliwag, goldeen, krabby, tentacool and Magikarp. Also in Crystal u get poliway before the 1st gym at night above cherrygrove in the grass.
That is technically true, however at 15% it would take several hours to successfully fish them all up, at which point you could just move on and find other selections...
@@emperorcubone well if u consider the only other capture is a Magikarp for early game Monotype runs/ nuzlocks or a combination of the both. I’m willing to wait out the clock to get as many captures as possible lol. I love your videos, I just think Johto early game is pretty respectable in terms of water. By the 2nd gym you can have part Poison, ground and psychic types. As well as some early game heavy hitters, don’t underestimate Krabby and vicegrip lol 😝. Im a Johto fan despite the bad lv curve lol
Ice and Dragon would be interesting to cover, considering rarity and difficulty to obtain. I did those two in SwSh, but like all of my monotype runs I just restored to getting eggs from another file cause a lot of the cool Pokemon just show up too late in the game for my liking.
I am guessing Electric is next I know Unova can rank well cause of White 2 think about it: a Mareep before first gym, Elekid before 2nd in white 2, ALSO before 2nd is Magnemite which can completely wall Roxie. Not to mention other leaders like Skyla, Marlon, members of Iris Team. Clay is the one tough battle imo.
Its just funny to me because sapphire was the first game I got my hands on and i had a team of a Swampert, Pelipper, Lanturn, Relicanth Wailord and Kyogre. Lol
@@emperorcubone i already did a bug and fighting monotype runs and i used almost exclusivly pure fighting types and i can tell you that you can easily do any monotype run you can think off because the game is too easy
I'd honesty say Hoenn (particularly RSE since I'm more familiar with them) would be the easiest games for a mono water team especially with mudkip since there's barely any trainers with grass coverage to take out Swampert or Whiscash.
Not only that, but you cannot even have Panpour if you have chosen Oshawott. Imo, its kinda unfair to Paldea that you included the Isle of Armor for Galar, why you didn't include Kitakami for Paldea. Galar is imo the best though, due to the lack of an Electric type specialist and the only threat being Milo. Like, you aren't limited to Sobble only early game, due to the wild area, but also due to you being able to catch Lotad (Shield), Chewtle, Magikarp and Arrokuda on Route 2. So you can essentially already have a team of six before you even attend the ceremony in Motostoke, which is the most out of any other region. Even Paldea, with its Open World aspect suffers water types early on
@emperorcubone is it? I know it's cannon to the main series, but how is legends arceus any closer to the mainline games than other side series like stadium or colosseum
That is just false. No one in the history of ever would criticize Erika because she uses half Poison types; monotype just means "at least part Water type" and in fact dual type variety is the lifeblood of mono-type teams! It's important to be able to have Flying, and Ground and plenty of other crossovers for strategy and coverage!
@@emperorcubone i agree using the dual types is fun but i feel using the term mono type in the title at all gives me that impression. usually when people say a pokemon is mono type it means just 1 type so that terminology in the title made me think of only those pokemon.
I stick by what o said in a previous video: ‘which game is best for monotype X’ is a redundant concept because Pokémon games are too easy and made for elementary schoolers. If I’m doing a challenge run I don’t want to make it easier! The better video concept is ‘worst region to monotype X !’. That interests me .
Well in that case you can watch it backwards; I DO cover the worsts in each video, and give reasons for WHY it's the worst, so really I'm pleasing everybody...
Honestly, Poison would make for a good weakness to water. A theme with poison is pollution (Koffing, Grimer, Trubbish) so it’d make sense. Plus, the only reason people even run poison moves 9 times out of 10 is because of the fairy type.
I'm not surprised that Hoenn managed to rank so high and was only beaten by a region that is pretty much islands in the middle of the ocean. 7.8/10 🗣
bro spoilers 😢
Some of the best theorymonning i've seen in this genre.
You actually acknowledge game-specific issues, like Fairy not existing in any Johto game, and mechanical specifics like Bugsy not actually being able to harm a psychic mon despite his typing.

excellent work
Thank you very much! Got to consider all the angles!
The same passage of R/S/E of people who did not choose Mudkip, did not take water/flying or water/ground: Vietnam flashbacks
1:31 "i guess a vaporeon" seems rather rough, my lord
My guess was Hoenn, but the real number one makes so much sense. I’ve done a Fairy type monotype run there-maybe I should try water next!
Water in my favorite type…I always have to have a Water-type on my team every game, no exception. I’ve never actually considered doing a mono-run of it before though and now this got me thinking about it.
Johto wouldn’t have a fairy, but it’s got a pretty early Lapras available on the correct day.
True! I guess just start you game on a Thursday and you'll be good!
Also the old rod in johto can catch poliwat, Krabby, tentacool, Goldeen and magikarp. You get the old rod before union cave after the 1st gym
Lapras is good but its ice type still won't help against Kingdra.
You get poliwag before the first gym in johto. Water stones are basically post game, but you can still use politoad.
Thats only in Crystal
Water stones are also easier to get in Crystal!
@@stephensherwin8621 no you can also get Poliwag in HGSS, it’s a 5% old rod spawn in Violet town. You can also get Krabby, Goldeen and Tentacool as 5% spawns before Bugsy.
@@Wynneception in crystal at night u can catch poliway in the grass before the first gym at night. The old rod is available after the first gym with the available captures u mentioned in all the Johto games :)

That's true, but still not great; not getting to have a full team until after the 7th gym is a nightmare!
That rhyme during the explanation was amazing
Came, saw Corsola twice, therefore it's a good video. :D
Slight correction on johto: can get tentacool right after getting the rod, poliwag too if ypu backtrack to route 30. Hope you're having a good day

Haven't looked into Bug yet, but that might be a good one?
Well I’m going to do a mono water nuzlocke in every region anyway so it’s good to know
What regions will be the hardest
I should do that with Ground sometime!

Fun fact - if you do a Water monotype run in Pokemon Yellow, the only Pokemon you can use for a good chunk of the game is Magikarp.
Good luck. XD
One thing you can do for Sofaciles is alola is get the in game trade/catch a Barboach an have a Wiscash to be immune to electric.
Sofalices 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Do fighting type next please, it’s like the 4 most popular starter type
Is it? I'm not sure add-ons to regular starter types counts, but that is a good point; Fighting is usually found somewhere in the early game...
you cant have both osowott and panpour before like gym 3 i think
Yeah, never said you'd have both at the same time. Which makes it even worse that you can only have ONE Water type within the first hour and a half!
@@emperorcuboneI think you can catch panpour inside of Pinwheel Forest?
Yeah you can, but there's also the story dragging its butt through this universe and the next@PandaCroft
@@PandaCroft you are correct, which means you can get a Simipour before the third gym since you can get a water stone in Castelia.
I hope that Bug type is next, since it is also a pretty early type.

The only game I've done a Water monotype run in was Ultra Moon. Was pretty fun!
Nice! The Ultra games specifically would he really fun because of the post-game!
i thought you could get a poliwag or marill just after cherrygrove city in crystal
Now that the starter types are done, ground type?
Also if you do fairy (and dark/ steel to a lesser extent), will you factor in the Pokémon that were given that type retroactively? Or just as they were when that region was first released? And will remakes factor in at all?
I did my water run in Arceus. Overall though the type you choose in Hisui matters very little, I learned
Honestly that's kind of true since you're mostly catching and not battling, certainly not battling a lot of trainers...
I did Water the most in my Monotype Runs, but I'll talk about my run in Black. I did get a Panpour before the third Gym, it just took me an hour of waiting for rustling grass.

Do early generation versions of regions count? Because if so, RBY Kanto is by far the best place for Normal types.
The old rod right after the 1st gym gets you
Poliwag, goldeen, krabby, tentacool and Magikarp. Also in Crystal u get poliway before the 1st gym at night above cherrygrove in the grass.

So how about an Electric type mono type video next since Pikachu is kinda a starter Pokemon as well.
That would make sense, it's sort of the next most important type anyway so I'll have to look into it!
3:55 I think this is the closest I've ever seen to a pokemon youtuber recommending playing pearl
Oh believe me, I'd never tell you to play that over Diamond. Dialga is MUCH better!
Great video, but I’m surprised you waited until after “Water-Type Month” to post it.
Eh, I was a little busy, and needed an easy idea this week.
Poliwag can be caught in Johto before Violet too.
Mudkip and vapeoreon are the best water types, but they ruined one of them.
I tried a water nuzlocke, but had to stop after I lost my shellos. Couldn't go on without my Squishy :(
Gastrodon would indeed help quite a bit, I don't blame you for throwing in the towel!
Its just funny to me because sapphire was the first game I got my hands on and i had a team of a Swampert, Pelipper, Lanturn, Relicanth Wailord and Kyogre. Lol
Did you know you needed both of those to hunt the Regis, or was that just a coincidence?
Clearly Hoenn. 7.8/10
I played hoenn many times with water only and it is easy, even against the Twins.
Any game with out starmie is already knocked out for me!
S/V no doubt. once you get the swimming after beating the second titan you can catch any water type in the game
You can catch a lot of them for sure! But is Water the best thing to use in Paldea?

It helps that there are no Grass specialists in the region at all too!
This gonna take a long time for all the types to be covered.
Who's complaining ?
The emperor speaks, his imperials listen.
To be fair, that's a good point.
just clicked the video bc i just started a sapphire run with water only on my GB micro, and just play when taking a shi-...yeah
Johto let's you get Polywag before the first gym
I guess you can get the basculin by trading somebody a mimicno in Dirftmal city
I love water pokemon 😍
Well you're in luck, because that's the biggest type in the game!
Not only that, but you cannot even have Panpour if you have chosen Oshawott.
Imo, its kinda unfair to Paldea that you included the Isle of Armor for Galar, why you didn't include Kitakami for Paldea.

you can catch all elemental monkeys in pinwheel forest regardless of your starter
@@afellowgameenthusiast tbh, forgot about that. Even then though, it still doesn't come close to other regions.
RSE as monowater could be fun also because you could roleplay a former Team Aqua grunt.
Surprisingly low on Water types for being a Water team; maybe that's why you left?
Water type is the best!!
It's in my Top 5 for sure!
Why is hisui here?
It's still a mainline region, right?
@emperorcubone is it? I know it's cannon to the main series, but how is legends arceus any closer to the mainline games than other side series like stadium or colosseum
Hoenn no doubt
It's just got Too Much Water!!
Gen 2 or its remake since Totadile is easily the best starter water type I HATE MUDKIP since Torchic in that game is SO much better.

Honestly, Poison would make for a good weakness to water. A theme with poison is pollution (Koffing, Grimer, Trubbish) so it’d make sense. Plus, the only reason people even run poison moves 9 times out of 10 is because of the fairy type.
