this is really killing my enthusiasm to finish the game. Is there any way to get through this without absurd grinding?

Not really. You want to do a monotype run, that's part of the bargain. You'll never have a well-balanced team, so you'll have to grind more than usual.

Any really great HG/SS modes?

Preferable ones that add all pre and new evos for the original 251 and redistribute pokemon locations and encounters

Holy shit.
If you could calc 1billion trips a second, it would take you 208 days to find just one trip that has ShinyDick in it.
You must be an extreme autist to care enough, that you leave a computer searching for 9 character trips

Uh, just catch a Water Absorb Woop? Why would you even settle for Damp in the first place?

I'd like one that adds all current Pokemon into it. Plus their walking sprites.

In fairness, he will fight some Pineco, some Graveler, and at least 3 Electrode.
Self-destruct is a bitch if he's locked.

I've noticed that this part of the game is the real bottleneck for most players. Forget Whitney, if you don't have the right combination of Pokemon to beat your rival, you're utterly trapped, as there's nothing to do to progress except meticulously, unreasonably grind against wild pokes. Go with Water Absorb Wooper definitely

Remember that mono type trainers get super powers related to their poke type just by being near them for years.

We do?
Silver's Quilava is only challenging because Smokescreen forces a switch. If you were smart enough to pick Chikorita, chances are you've got something to cover it's fire weakness or at least a solid neutral switch in.

I don't know if a water absorb Wooper would make a difference because his Croconaw can one-hit the Wooper I already have with Bite as well so I'd still have to do a ton of grinding...I should probably just grind the one I already have. Or I could just restart and pick Totodile so my rival picks Cyndaquil and then it will be easy for Geodude to take it out. I only have about two and a half hours played so it would be inconvenient to restart but it wouldn't be THAT bad...
