  • In the Pokemon games, earning experience points is the most important part of progressing through the game, but how difficult would the game be if you never earned any in battle? Today we're going to find out how easily you can beat Pokemon Platinum without earning EXP. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

    Fun fact about the Crasher Wake fight is that if you can find a Croagunk nearby and it has Dry Skin, you can use Swagger on his Gyarados and Floatzel and they tend to not know what to do and just use water moves. That’s how I beat Wake the first time I played Platinum!

    I actually did this run back in May of last year and I'm quite surprised at how different some of our solutions were to each gym.
    The one that surprised me the most was Wake. For Wake, I used Tangela from Pastoria Marsh to help with Floatzel, since Ice Fang didn't OHKO through it's high Def, and it had Stun Spore, so I didn't have to rely on Static. The Gyarados was a much bigger issue for me since I didn't do the Quick Claw/Thunder strat with Raichu. Instead I used Stun Spore Tangela to weaken it and then bullied the Gyarados with Water Absorb Quagsire from the Great Marsh and Intimidate Staravia, which wasn't always successful depending on what turns it was paralyzed for.
    I also spent a lot of time grinding money off the 2 Rich trainers next to the Mansion right before the E4 in order to give Azelf 10 Calcium/Carbos, just to have an easier time with that whole thing because I was quite afraid of the E4.
