Can Castform be used in Ice/Fire/Water monotypes if it has a Hail/Sunny Day/Rain Dance strategy?

[Black and White scramble]

I think it can

[Charmed]

Well I left Professor Rowan's lab and then Dawn showed me around Sandgem Town for some reason. After that, I headed to the Pokemon Center and I healed Piplup. I went back to Twinleaf Town and I obtained the Parcel for my rvial. I trained on Route 201 and then I went to Route 202 and I encountered Dawn there again. She showed me how to capture Pokemon, and I obtained five PokeBalls once the lesson was over. I headed north to Jubilife City and I battled the trainers along the way. I eventually reached the city and I healed at the Pokemon Center. I then decided to visit the Trainers' School since I had nothing better to do with my time. I saved the game once I defeated the trainers there and earned the TM for Hidden Power.


My current team:
- Piplup level 10

After finishing thing up at the Jubilife City Trainers' School, I headed to the Pokemon Center to heal my Pokemon. I then went north, but I was stopped by the president of the Poketch company. He told me to obtain the coupons to earn a Poketch, and I talked to the clowns around Jubilife City until I got all three coupons. I obtained the Poketch after that and then I headed west. I got the Old Rod from a fisherman there and I fished in the water between Canalave City and Jubilife City. I found a wild Magikarp and I captured it for my team. I healed again and then I trained north of Jubilife City since I had to battle my rival on Route 203 soon. I finished training after about 20 minutes, and I saved before going to Route 203.

My current team:
- Piplup level 11
- Magikarp level 7

[Darkrai00]

- Searching the Safari Zone still for Larvitar

[Charmed]

I headed to Route 203 and I met up with my rival there. He talked and then he challenged me to a Pokemon battle. He used Starly first, and I used Magikarp despite it not being very powerful. I swapped to Piplup eventually, but Magikarp gained experience once Starly was defeated, so everything worked out ok. I used Piplup against my rival's Turtwig, and I won with a critical hit move. The battle ended and I gave my rival the Parcel that his mom had sent him. He then left and I healed my Pokemon at the Jubilife City Pokemon Center. I then proceeded to Route 203 and I battled some trainers on my way to Oreburgh City. I also trained against wild Pokemon in the area, but I was sad that I couldn't capture any. I eventually made it to the Oreburgh Gate, and I arrived at the city after I had battled inside the cave. I saved at the Pokemon Center.

My current team:
- Piplup level 13
- Magikarp level 9

[Darkrai00]

After healing at the Oreburgh City Pokemon Center, I headed to the Oreburgh Mine since I had to locate Roark before I could challenge him at the Oreburgh City Gym. I went inside and I picked up some items. I also trained against the wild Pokemon there for a while, until I reached the bottom of the mine and I battled against a couple of trainers down there. I eventually found Roark, and after breaking open a rock, he returned to the Oreburgh Gym. I healed at the Pokemon Center once more after that, and I headed north to the Mining Museum to explore. I then went to train at the route north of town, and I returned to Oreburgh City after about 20 minutes. I saved as I got inside the Oreburgh Gym.

My current team:
- Piplup level 14
- Magikarp level 11

Thinking of doing a monotype in either SS or D/P, but not sure what type to use, any suggestions?

Edit: Decided I'm either going to use Pearl with either psychic type with abra, giraffirig, meditite, mime jr., chingling and bronzor OR poison type with zubat, budew, ghastly, croagunk, dustox, and skorupi. So, which should I use?

You know, I am having problems as well deciding. Why don't we help each other out? Let's see... which one would have a balanced and diverse team? To me, I think the Poison one would. You get Ghost, Fighting, Dark, Bug, and Grass along with the Poison. If that doesn't matter to you, then what Pokemon have you not really used and want to train? If I trained the same one over and over and over again, to me it wouldn't be so fun.

I am going to play a Monotype run on my Platinum, but I don't know whether to do Steel or Flying. With the Steel type I get Water, Electric, Flying, Psychic, Fight, and Ground. I have only used two of them before. (Lucario and Piplup.) With Flying I get Normal, Poison, Ground, Steel, Bug/(or Water), and Ghost. I have only used two of them as well. (Starly and Drifloon.) So... I really don't know. Any suggestions as to which one would be more diverse and balanced??

EDIT- I have decided to go with flying. However, I do not know which ones... there are so many! (And yes, I will be evolving all of these) These are the ones I am most definitely using: Starly, Gligar, Drifloon, and I think Yanma. (Would Combee be better?? Or should I add both?) I am debating using Zubat and Togepi. I was thinking about using Mantyke, but the stats aren't the best. Should I add it for the water typing, or no? So, any suggestions as to who I should use and not use?

[gardevoir rocks]

Thanks for the help. Thinking about it out of the pokemon I've listed I've trained budew and zubat before, but I've only really used zubat as a hm slave before. So, based on that I'll probably go with poison type. Oh, and I was thinking of using a tentacool instead of the dustox as I realised last night that they are also poison type, and I never really liked dustox that much, that and if I were to catch a wurmple I wouldn't know whether or not they would evolve into beautifly instead, meaning I could do unnecessary training.

As for your query I would use yanma instead of combee as you could be waiting a while to get one of those, and if you do find one and it's a male combee then it won't evolve, which could limit its power. I would then probably use zubat and togetic, because togetic is a normal type and can probably learn some water type moves via tms if you really thought having a water type would help you. Also they allow you to have a good mix of move types, I have a porygon on my Platinum, and it knows an ice type move, a bug type move, a psychic type move and an electric type move, which I find very helpful. Hope this helps!

I got inside of the Oreburgh City Gym, and I began to challenge the Gym trainers inside. I managed to beat the two trainers inside by switching between Magikarp and Piplup. That helped level up Magikarp some more, and then I left to heal at the Pokemon Center. I returned to the Gym and I challenged Roark to a battle. He used Geodude first, and I went ahead and used Piplup. I managed to defeat Geodude with one move, and then I swapped to Magikarp when Roark sent out his Onix. I swapped out once more to Piplup, and then I defeated Roark's Onix with a strong Bubble attack. Roark then sent out Cranidos, and I had a tough time against that, even with Piplup's Bubble attack. I beat it eventually, Piplup evolved into Prinplup and I got the Coal Badge. I saved before leaving the Gym.

- Prinplup level 16
- Magikarp level 13

[gardevoir rocks]

Just started the challenge, but I've made it to Jubilife City so far, and I caught a budew just ahead of there, which I'm training up, as it was only level 4 when I caught it.

- level 6
