An update after a long time.I have defeated all the remaining routes and areas like Dreamyard etc and got all the seven sages arrested but my team was still in its mid 60s while the GameFreak guy,Elite 4,Alder and Cynthia all have 70+ Pokemon,so i decided to train in the Nimbasa Domes.I defeated Cheren easily in the Victory Road Rematch and was just waiting to defeat Bianca but i came to know that you've defeat the Elite 4 for the second time to have rematches with her.Anyways, all of my Pokemon are now Lv 74-75 so i decided to battle GameFreak guy since I thought it would be easier to defeat him than the Elite 4,Alder or Cynthia.On the first attempt i could defeat only his Liepard and his second Pokemon,a damn good for nothing Simisear swept my whole team.On the second try,I got a little better and defeated his Liepard,Simisear,Swoobat and Zebstrika but my last Pokemon was defeated by his Simipour's Acrobatics.It seems like I'll have to train some more maybe to Lv 80 to defeat him.
So yesterday I decided to partake in this monotype fun and started up a Dark run. I kinda went easy mode and had my 6 dark types ready to be traded at level 5 once I got the chance since I like the older dark types more. I just beat N at the Nimbasa City Ferris Wheel and hopefully my team makes it through. Here's a quick glimpse of my team.
:551: Chompy the Sandile Lv. 22
;318; LittleJaws the Carvahna Lv. 22
;461; Sherbert the Weavile Lv. 24
:559: Marf the Scraggy Lv. 20
;359; Seiji the Absol Lv. 21
;331; Crow the Cacnea Lv. 21 (not a dark type yet but he will be and I've never used/have always wanted to use a Cacturne)
So far we've been doing okay but I have run into some annoyances with how frail this type is as well as the annoying weaknesses it has. Other than that this is definitely a fun little challenge and I'm enjoy my variation of it.
So after some thinking, I changed my team up a bit because I think it would work a little better overall. First, I dropped Absol for Houndoom just for better coverage plus I like Houndoom a lot better. Second, I took Weavile out because I've had one on every single B/W team I've used. So I replaced Sherbert with Scrambles the Murkrow!
:560: Marf the Scrafty Lv. 39
;332; Crow the Cacturne Lv. 32
;319; LittleJaws the Sharpedo Lv. 33
:552: Chompy the Krokorok Lv. 31
;229; Cerberus the Houndoom Lv. 31
;198; Scrambles the Murkrow Lv. 34
Reserves.
;359; Seiji Lv. 30
;461; Sherbert Lv. 30
I've made it to the Celestial Tower right before fighting Skyla. Needless to say an all dark team completely shredded the Psychics and Ghosts in here.

I shall be doing a Monotype Bug on my Black version, after I get my first badge I'll trade over my first bug pokemon to officially start my challenge! My first bug is most likely going to be Dwebble. :3
Okay, starting up a ghost-type monotype run on Black 2 now that I picked it up.
As a side note, Dream Radar/Dream World pokemon are allowed, traded are not. And I am not barring myself from legendaries (since only Giratina falls under that category for ghosts).
So, named my trainer Fantina, in honor of Sinnoh's ghost-type gym leader.
Before starting up, I did some Dream Radar runs, and got, in a total of 4 runs, a single ghost type.
So my starter, after choosing Oshawott to surf for a Frillish later, is a Spiritomb
Spiritomb naturally made a complete joke of Cheren's gym, what with being immune to stuff and able to hit hard enough with Pursuit/Faint Attack
Hey! I'm looking to start a steel monotype challenge for Black 2!
I'll take pokemon suggestions, evolution challenges, and nicknames, maybe.
No duplicates of the same pokemon or secondary type. I can trade and get basically anything I'll need.
Also, I'll take pokemon that gain the steel type through evolution (such as the Piplup line).
Also, no Mawile, because.

If your going with steel. Two must have (IMO) are beldum and magnemite. Ferroseed is another one I would use. I would reconsider Mawile simply because it can learn most of the TM's allowing you to fill in any holes in your team.
Thanks for the input! Lol, I was waiting to start my file to get a full team from pure suggestions. I'll definitely use Beldum and Magnemite. The only reason I don't want to use Mawile is because of its poor basest at distribution, but I could always hunt for a sheer force Mawile on dream world, now that I think about it. Thanks, BJPalmer95!
Great! I've now started my journey after a tedious first gym battle D:
Current team
Level 11 Mawile (didnt expect this haha)
Level 11 shiny Beldum (I've been saving it for such an occasion.
Now I'm off to Virbank to catch my Magnemite and brush off Roxie.
