@guizaum wow your team is like exactly the same as mine except I am keeping Tauros and am using Granbull instead of Raticate... Weird

Spring-Loaded Fish
Steel type
Half-term starts in 10 days, so I'll start me a steel monotype. I'll trade a metal coat from my current version probably (so I can get both steelix and scizor without stealing from magnemites) but I won't use it until I get the one on the SS. Aqua. Magneton, Scizor, Steelix, Forretress and Skarmory for me, then.

From Zero To Hero
anyone have any suggested types for silver. be aware that i cannot trade and thus should not recieve pokemon that can be caught late in the game, preferably pokemon up to about the fourth or fifth badge, at most, the sixth

I would suggest using Water, Poison, or Bug since there is a wide variety of those types in this Gen.

Try Steel if you're up for a challenge. You can get Onix early (to evolve to steelix later), Pineco in the Ilex forest (for Forretress), Scyther just before the third gym (for Scizor obv), and you can get spare metal coats for evolution from Magnemites. I was planning on doing steel myself, but I've never got round to it.
Or, if you fancy something a little easier, go for water, normal, flying or bug.

Looks interesting, I'm going to try for a Ground monotype challenge for crystal
edit:
so i started with Chikorita so the rival would have a Cyndaquil (really bad if water/grass was the rival's starter lol) and i caught a Geodude in the route below the mountains (46 if i remember right). I also walked around to find a Phanpy- damn they're so hard to catch and they flee!
Fast forward to Violet City and i traded a Bellsprout for the Onix. Took out the gym with relative ease with Geodude's Rock Throw and Onix Screeching it's way through Falkner's Pidgeotto to make Phanphy's tackle kill it with one hit.
Sprout Tower wasn't as hard as i Imagined as Phanphy's high HP lets it survive a couple of Vine Whips- enough for the Bellsprouts to die from tackle with their weak defense. Just got Flash and am on my way to Azalea Town.
Team-
Rocky (Onix)- Lv 11
-Tackle
-Screech
-Bind
Geodude- Lv 14
-Rock Throw
-Defense Curl
-Tackle
Phanphy- Lv 13
-Tackle
-Growl
-Defense Curl
-keeping Chikorita (later to be Flash and Cut slave for now) and the Togepi egg with party. Not sure who to teach Mud Slap yet.
======================
-FAST FORWARD EDIT-
======================
Just beat Jasmine and am halfway on the Magohany Rocket mission.
-Jasmine was very easy, I didn't use my Ground TM's yet even.
-Chuck's Poliwrath almost owned my team. Used a Suicide Onix to Screech as much as it can before dying (once lol), then Quagsire using Amnesia to soak the Surfs and Tail Whip to bring Defense to lowest then Nidorino landed the finishing blow. Also loving Donphan's Flail against the whole gym.
-Clean sweeped Morty using Quagsire.
-Whitney's Rollout for once didn't bother me because of my ground types
-Bugsy was too easy.
Here's my team:
Quagsire lv31 @ Mystic Water
-Surf
-Ice Punch
-Amnesia
-Slam
Donphan lv31 @ ---
-Take Down
-Fury Attack
-Defense Curl
-Flail
Rocky (Steelix) lv31 @ Soft Sand
-Rock Throw
-Screech
-Dig
-Rage
Nidoking lv32 @ King's Rockp)
-Horn Attack
-Fire Punch
-Thunderpunch
-Double Kick
Golem lv31 @ MysteryBerry
-Rock Throw
-Defense Curl
-Strength
-Magnitude
and a Farfetch'd for the Cut/Fly/Metal Coat Thief Slave
-Plan later to get a Gligar at Blackthorn or a Swinub at Ice Path. Probably the former then teach it Sludge Bomb for Grass types.
-Will teach Ice Punch to NIdoking later and possibly Mud Slap (Earthquake TM reserved for Donphan who has the highest attack). Not sure if I should use STAB and slightly defensive Mud Slap or Dynamic Punch.
-Not sure if i should give Steelix Iron Tail, was planning to teach it Crunch for Psychics and Dragonbreath for Paralyssis Support along with Rock Throw and Dig.

Gee, this has got me really excited, I want to do 15 different monotype challenges.
Well, ok, I've started out on a normal one. So now, lets get into the details - note, I'll be reporting every time I beat a gym.
I started off a few days ago on this one deciding to pick Chikorita and then after I got onto my first route I caught a HootHoot and after remembering that it will take a *long* time before a Sentret started appearing, I waited until tomorrow (the real tomorrow, not the game). After this I eventually got to Violet City where I started off solving the first puzzle of the Unknowns and then going into Sprout Tower and defeated the Sages until I got enough money to get an escape rope and then got the four items and the pointless message back in the ruins.
After the four items trick I battled the elder, Sage Li. It was an easy battle - Sentret tore apart this guy's pair of Bellsprouts in a few turns flat with a quick attack and made HootHoot an easy picking for mine. After there I challenged the gym leader, Falkner. Sentret tore apart his Pidgey in three turns flat. The HootHoot managed to beat his weakened Pidgeotto with a peck.
I'm currently preparing form my next adventure, so now I'll tell you about my team
;161;level 11 (f) tackle, defense curl, quick attack
I'm planning to get this into a pretty high level - higher than HootHoot to be exact.
;163;level 12 (m) tackle, growl, foresight, peck
This guys going to rocking on as my sleeper in the end and rock on, this battle is going to be good.

Well it's been pretty much ages since I last updated. I sort of stopped playing, so I really have no idea of my actions since my last update. All I know is that I'm at the Lake of Rage, having just defeated the Red Gyarados. I'll keep you updated from now on.
Anyways, team:

sorry I haven't posted in a while - I've been kinda busy ... but I'm back!
I started off going in to Ilex Forest after defeating my rival. AFter a while I eventually got onto Route 32 where I caught two new team members, Snubbull and Jigglypuff. After that I trudged on to battle Gym Leader Whitney - it was incredible.
While battling the other trainers in the gym, I evolved HootHoot in to a Noctowl. It was a tough battle with Whitney - her Miltank almost defeated Noctowl. If it wasn't rollout missing twice I would have been in deep trouble. Then stormed off to continue .... I was wondering where you could get the return TM. Woops, it was all the way back at the department store. But anyway, I nearly lost to the psychic with the Drowzee if it wasn't for Togepi's metronome sending a disable after Drowzee launched an unsuccesful hypnosis I would have been done for.
I then started battling the Kimono Girls. I defeated three of them, but now I am headed back to the department store if it is Sunday.
Now on to the team ratings:
;175;level 17 (m) growl, charm, metronome
;039;level 17 (f) sing, ice punch, thunder punch, fire punch
;209;level 17 (f) quick claw, tackle, scary face, bite, charm
;164;level 20 (m) tackle, hypnosis, foresight, peck
;162;level 20 (f) tackle, defense curl,quick attack, fury swipes
