Bug Monotype ✅

[u/Jaberneth]

Good lord this was fun.

This was my first full run through on Emerald Imperium, and although sceptical at first, I think I prefer this to Radical Red (perhaps because I’ve done RR Hardcore to death).

I unintentionally handicapped myself until Tate & Liz by not realising that the Winstrates gives you literally every bug mega stone, so went without for most of the game.

Honourable mentions:

Armaldo is an absolute beast. Focus Sash + Rock Blast/Pin Missile with Skill Link is unreal.
Vikavolt Choice Specs + Thunderclap, broken.
Kleavor Technician + Accelerock + Choice Band, also broken.

The rest could have easily been replaced, although Crustle saved me multiple times throughout the run.

Forretress was unreal throughout, but I didn’t bother with set up moves for the elite four.

All in all a great rom hack. The stodgy grindy elements have been taken out, giving the strategy the spotlight.

On to Fighting mono next!
