Legends Arceus N Run, but I cannot use Dual Type Pokemon

[Greninjaman]

After that disastrous Nuzlocke, I am doing this. Here are the rules:
1) I can only use the Pokémon found in that area to quell that area's Noble. After the Noble Avalugg, I must build a team consisting of at least 1 Pokémon from each area so that I have a team of six.
2) I cannot use Dual Type Pokémon. Dialga/Palkia are exceptions as I need them in the party for the battle with the Origin Form of the other (Palkia/Dialga).

Catching Dual Types for the Pokédex tasks and side quests is fine. My battling team must consist of Pokémon that are not Dual Type. I will post after each Noble.

Sorry to hear that you have given up on the Nuzlocke.

@Unovia
As I was running around the Fieldlands, I found an Eevee. I was like, "Yeah!" only to remember that after quelling Kleavor, I would not be able to use it at least until I quell Avalugg. Maybe I could put possible team members in the very last box/pasture, so I don't accidentally release them.

I think you can probably use Eevee, just work to get a lot of Star points or Satchels so you can get whatever evolution stone you want.

I know I can use it now, It's just I am kind of limited in what I can get. I think I will save it for later. That way, I can freely choose.

Update 1: Kleavor of the Obsidian Fieldlands
While I still won, I took a lot of damage even though past fights with this guy had me win pretty much damageless. I did run around, completing side quests.

Now that the Fieldlands are clear, time to head out to the Mirelands.

The Obsidian Fieldlands Team

Species	Type	Nature	Level	Move 1	Move 2	Move 3	Move 4
Dewott	Water	Quirky (No Change)	18	Aqua Jet	Water Pulse	Tackle	Swords Dance
Luxio	Electric	Quiet (+Sp. Atk, -Speed)	20	Thunder Shock	Thunder Fang	Bite	Quick Attack
Buizel	Water	Careful (+Sp. Def, -Sp. Atk)	17	Aqua Jet	Quick Attack	Swift
Ponyta	Fire	Naïve (+Speed, -Sp. Def)	17	Ember	Flame Wheel	Tackle	Double Hit
Alpha Kricketune	Bug	Modest (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)	19	Absorb	Aerial Ace	Tackle	False Swipe

Yeah, that Alpha is the one that you are required to encounter in order to advance the story.

Update 2: Lilligant of the Crimson Mirelands
I stayed near her and was able to just throw balms at her. Got hit once or twice. At first, I actually got into the rhythm of dodging her attacks right when she lands, so I took no damage for a bit.

The Crimson Mirelands Team

Species	Type	Nature	Level	Move 1	Move 2	Move 3	Move 4
Carnivine	Grass	Naughty (+Atk, -Sp. Def)	26	Absorb	Acid Spray	Crunch	Stun Spore
Psyduck	Water	Relaxed (+Def, -Speed)	26	Bubble	Water Pulse	Confusion	Hypnosis
Hippopotas	Ground	Modest (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)	27	Mud Bomb	Crunch	Tackle	Rest
Pachirisu	Electric	Lonely (+Atk, -Def)	34	Spark	Crunch	Quick Attack	Baby-Doll Eyes
Tangela	Grass	Relaxed (+Def, -Speed)	28	Energy Ball	Acid Spray	Poison Powder	Stun Spore
Ursarang	Normal	Lax (+Def, -Sp. Def)	31	Slash	Bulldoze	Play Rough	Baby-Doll Eyes

As you can see, I did quite a bit of exploring, just like in the Fieldlands.

Update 3: Arcanine of the Cobalt Coastlands
I almost went down, but I was able to keep my cool (even though I am surrounded by Lava) and won. I generally find this guy one of the hardest of the five Noble Pokémon simply because of the awkward shape of the arena.

The Colbalt Coastlands Team

Species	Type	Nature	Level	Move 1	Move 2	Move 3	Move 4
Purugly	Normal	Docile (No Change)	40	Slash	Night Slash	Hypnosis	Nasty Plot
Tangrowth	Grass	Careful (+Sp. Def, -Sp. Atk)	40	Energy Ball	Acid Spray	Ancient Power	Poison Powder
Ninetales	Fire	Hasty (+Speed, -Def)	41	Flame Wheel	Hex	Extrasensory	Nasty Plot
Ambipom	Normal	Bashful (No Chage)	41	Swift	Quick Attack	Mud Bomb	Nasty Plot
Dusclops	Ghost	Lonely (+Atk, -Def)	44	Shadow Ball	Psychic	Dark Pulse	Leech Life
Octillery	Water	Naïve (+Speed, -Sp. Def)	38	Octazooka	Acid Spray	Ice Beam	Charge Beam

Honestly, I almost considered having each team be unique, but I am glad I didn't do that.

Update 4: Electrode of the Coronet Highlands
I lost attempt one, but I was able to continue and carry over the progress I made on the Frenzy Bar. I just simply spammed the balms for the last bit of the bar. I allowed myself to get hit with that first ball of electricity, which allowed me to win, though I did have to dodge the raining Voltorb.

The Coronet Highlands Team

Species	Type	Nature	Level	Move 1	Move 2	Move 3	Move 4
Luxray	Electric	Hasty (+Speed, -Def)	45	Thunder Fang	Crunch	Quick Attack	Thunder Wave
Carnivine	Grass	Jolly (+Speed, -Sp. Atk)	45	Absorb	Crunch	Acid Spray	Stun Spore
Golduck	Water	Serious (No Change)	45	Aqua Tail	Water Pulse	Zen Headbutt	Hypnosis
Machoke	Fighting	Naïve (+Speed, -Sp. Def)	47	Mach Punch	Pullet Punch	Tackle	Bulk Up
Clefairy	Fairy	Lax (+Def, -Sp. Def)	49	Psychic	Moonblast	Tackle	Calm Mind
Chimecho	Psychic	Adamant (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)	55	Extrasensory	Ominous Wind	Double-Edge	Recover

I am starting to wonder if its even worth building a full team of Pokémon when it comes to playing this game. Yeah, there are trainer battles, but all of them aside from Volo never have more than four Pokémon (and there aren't that many trainer battles to begin with) and the Noble Pokémon battles are the sort you would see in a Legend of Zelda game.

It is worth it to build a Team.

Update 5: Avalugg of the Alabaster Icelands
I thought this was going to be harder than it was. I did black out, but only right at the end. This meant I could brute force the last bit of the bar once I restarted and carried over the progress.

The Alabaster Icelands Team

Species	Type	Nature	Level	Move 1	Move 2	Move 3	Move 4
Glalie	Ice	Sassy (+Sp. Def, -Speed)	58	Ice Fang	Crunch	Bite	Icicle Crash
Ambipom	Normal	Quirky (No Change)	58	Swift	Mud Bomb	Iron Tail	Nasty Plot
Machoke	Fighting	Careful (+Sp. Def, -Sp. Atk)	60	Mach Punch	Double-Edge	Close Combat	Bulk Up
Elecivire	Electric	Bashful (No Change)	58	Thunder Punch	Thunderbolt	Quick Attack	Thunder Wave
Lickylicky	Normal	Docile (No Change)	62	Tackle	Bulldoze	Zen Headbutt	Rest
Mismagius	Ghost	Brave (+Atk, -Speed)	58	Hex	Shadow Ball	Extrasensory	Power Gem

Time for the endgame, and I am not sure who I want to keep from the five squads. I would like help figuring that out.

Post the Squads, and we will help.

Update 6: Origin Dialga
Not really sure what happened on attempt 1, but I lost rather badly. Like, I barely got the bar down to like half before I was defeated. I was able to get my act together and won the second attempt. I don't remember if I ever lost this fight in prior playthroughs.

The Final Team

Species	Type	Nature	Level	Move 1	Move 2	Move 3	Move 4	Area Represented
Floatzel	Water	Careful (+Sp. Def, -Sp. Atk)	61	Aqua Tail	Ice Punch	Crunch	Quick Attack	Obsidian Fieldlands
Hippowdon	Ground	Modest (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)	61	High Horsepower	Crunch	Thunder Fang	Rest	Crimson Mirelands
Ninetales	Fire	Hasty (+Speed, -Def)	61	Flamethrower	Shadow Ball	Energy Ball	Nasty Plot	Cobalt Coastlands
Clefable	Fairy	Lax (+Def, -Sp. Def)	63	Psychic	Moonblast	Mystical Fire	Calm Mind	Coronet Highlands
Elecivire	Electric	Bashful (No Change)	62	Thunder Punch	Ice Punch	Rock Slide	Quick Attack	Alabaster Icelands
Glaceon	Ice	Hasty (+Speed, -Def)	61	Ice Beam	Water Pulse	Shadow Ball	Calm Mind	Alabaster Icelands

Here is a fun fact: I have not lost a single trainer battle up to this point. Not looking forward to Volo. Also, all my Pokémon have Effort Level 6 in every stat.

QOTD: What is your favorite Pokémon that I used in these squads?

If you need help with Volo, let me know. Your team looks good (except for Levels and Effort) for the fight.

Update 7: Volo & Giratina
Attempt 1: while I did defeat Volo, I was down to only Glaceon when he summoned Giratina. Volo's Pokémon were mostly taken out in one or two hits. Clearly I am not ready yet. This was after I grinded everyone up to level 74.

Attempt 2 went so much smoother. When I defeated Volo, I still had four Pokémon. Electivire was sent out against Giratina. He did a bit of damage before going down. Hippowdon long enough to last and beat both forms. I still had Floatzel and Glaceon in the back. My Pokémon for this attempt at Effort Level 7 across the board.

The Final Squad

Species	Type	Nature	Level	Move 1	Move 2	Move 3	Move 4	Area Represented
Floatzel	Water	Careful (+Sp. Def, -Sp. Atk)	80	Aqua Tail	Ice Punch	Crunch	Quick Attack	Obsidian Fieldlands

Glaceon	Ice	Hasty (+Speed, -Def)	80	Ice Beam	Water Pulse	Shadow Ball	Calm Mind	Alabaster Icelands

Thank you guys for reading. I had fun playing this. This was a fun challenge as I used many Pokémon that I don't think I have used before.
