      How about any gen with only a team of rt 1 pokemon. You can only use 1 of each so you can't have 6 of any 1. I think it would be most interesting in gen 2 because a sentrite and hoothoot only team would be super weierd

      And it also gets an terrible typing after evolution because hoenn is full of water types and ground attacks would just anhilate magcargo

      @@c.o7993 yeah, if you didn't know, pseudos categorically must be part of a three stage evolutionary line, have a BST of 600 when fully evolved, and be in the slow experience group. Milotic, being fully evolved as a first evolution, having a very respectable BST of 540 but is unfortunately quite shy of 600, and being in the erratic experience group, actually fits none of the categories. If you did know that, well...sorry for repeating it to you lol. There's also normally only one per region, other than Hoenn which has both Metagross and Salamence for whatever reason, for a total of 9. The others are Dragonite, Tyranitar, Garchomp, Hydreigon, Goodra, Kommo-o, and Dragapult. Though I agree that Milotic fits the vibe of a powerful, rare, majestic Pokemon that Psuedos fit, and applies to other Pokemon like Volcarona, Snorlax, Gyarados, Arcanine, and Flygon. I, unofficially, call them Pseudo Pseudo Legendaries lol.

    As a fan of Gen 5, I'll try to promote this challenge once more:
    Can you beat B2/W2 with only an “Assisted” Purrloin/Liepard?
    Rules:
    1) Play on Black 2 or White 2. The challenge is considered completed after defeating the first round of Elite Four & Champion battles. It'd be nice if you manage to defeat other important post-game trainer battles as well, as a bonus.
    2) You may only use a Purrloin for every battle in the game. Replace one of the starter choice with a Purrloin. (Alternatively, for this challenge, you may evolve this Purrloin into Liepard, so that you don't have to excessively grind for levels during late game.) You are free to bring any number and any variety of Pokemon in your party, but only the Purrloin/Liepard may fight for you in battles.
    3) No item usage during battle (only held items are allowed).
    4) Once Purrloin learns Assist on level 6 and you have access to catching wild Pokemon, you may only use Assist as your source of damaging move against the opponent. Your Purrloin/Liepard may use any other status moves it learns from level up or TMs, but none of them may be a directly damaging move*.
    *) Preferably, no spamming toxic/protect/double team, as this is a rather uninteresting strategy to overcome battles, and doesn't encourage team-moveset building for Assist usage.
    Addendum/Tips:
    - To make this less frustrating, you may choose to give yourself a PP Max in the beginning to max out the Assist PP.

      Question: Are you allowed to swap what your other pokemon are/change their moves? If I remember correctly, assist is a move that uses a move from another pokemon in your party so if you were fighting against the normal gym, could you fill out your other pokemon with fighting moves then swap them after the gym or do you have to keep the pokemon you use the whole run?

    Challenge Idea: Pokemon Emerald with Only One Snorunt
    It has low base stats and struggles against gyms 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8, while also struggling against both team magma and aqua. It also has a hard time in the water areas and against Norman, Glacia, Wallace, and Steven.
    However, it has a wide movepool with water pulse, crunch, and shadow ball. It also has some nice gimmicks like hail + blizzard, double team, or headbutt flinches. Lastly, Snorunt gets good level up moves early like powder snow and bite at levels 1 and 10 respectively. Would be fun to see if it's possible, especially against Steven.

    Black/White or Black2/White2 with Dunsparce. (It has an amazingly diverse moovepool, and with the reusable TMs...)
    HeartGold/SoulSilver with Azurill. (Seriously, you haven't done a single challenge in one of those games)
    Emerald/Platinum with only Pokemon available before the first Gym (decent variety, mid-to-low stats, you get to choose whether or not to use a starter/evolve any of your team).

      I know this is a pretty old comment, but...
      While a "Only Pokemon available before the first Gym" can be pretty interesting depending on the game used, Platinum is by far the easiest for such a run. If we allow fully evolved versions of the Pokemon available, the roster appears as such:
      Starter
      Bibarel
      Staraptor
      Luxray
      Kricketune
      Beautifly/Dustox
      Kadabra/Alakazam
      Gyarados
      Golduck
      Roserade
      Graveler/Golem
      Onix/Steelix
      Crobat
      Rapidash
      Machoke/Machamp
      Even with evolution restrictions, that's still a very diverse selection, with lots of coverage options throughout the game.

    One suggestion might be trying a Pokemon game (or Oblivion for that matter!) in a language you don't speak. I'm currently playing through gen 1 but in German, a language I only have a rudimentary understanding of and without looking online to remind myself of movesets, tm loadouts etc. I also implemented a "No take backs" rule where if I decided to replace/not replace a move by level up or tm, I couldn't just reload if I made a bad decision.
    It's been real fun and a test of how well I actually know the game, as well as the journey of relearning which Pokemon have what names! 😄

    So the next one is Skyrim. This should be fun.
    Here’s a quick exploit if you ever need to level up smithing at a decent pace without worrying about money:
    Go to Dawnstar,
    wait until the khajit caravan rolls into town,
    go to the invisible chest near one of the mines (I think it’s called iron breaker),
    take all the various hides (wolf, horse, bear, etc),
    go down to the blacksmith,
    make leather out of the hides on the tanning rack as well as leather straps,
    Make leather equipment (I went with the helmet I think)
    Go to the Khajit caravan,
    Save
    Kill the seller (don’t remember her name)
    Reload, talk to the seller again (Make sure to see what they’re selling) and the invisible chest should be restocked.
    Repeat until smithing is high enough for you.

    I have a suggestion: Gen 4 with only igglybuff, cleffa, and happiny (or gen 2 with only igglybuff and clefa). I chose this, because the lines the Pokémon are from are similar, pink things that get big. The typings are normal, normal fairy, fairy (or tripple normal in this case)

    EDIT: And I did allow one item used per battle so I guess it's not entirely comparable, but still.

Dustox is my fav regional Bug-type, next to Venipede and Sewaddle, so I’m glad it got its time to shine!

    An idea just hit me for Steven. Why not burn all of Dustox’s PP till you only got Silver Wind and (some of) Moonlight left. Then in the fight proper, spam Silver Wind to fish for omni boosts, use Moonlight as needed in between, and then Struggle like your life depends on it since the typeless, damage-neutral masochism is basically the only hope you got for consistently good damage.

  • @Erlaad
    @Erlaad 4 года назад

    Tactical analysis of the run. Almost as good as picking the Root fossil:
    1/ For Flannery, you had protect on the Dustox. I'm not 100% of this, but you could try and predict the Overheats with Protect to drop its SpA. Granted, it has a White Herb, so would have to do it twice, but maybe it could make the Torkoal easier at lower levels. Also, when you got there with Toxic later, Toxic + Protect (+ Moonlight) stall is a viable way to rack up so damage (maybe with a Sitrus Berry).
    1a/ Generally if you are going for Toxic stall, Protect is very useful.
    2/ Aerial Ace of Beautifly seems like a no brainer. Would have helped against Kingdra also.
    3/ Hidden Power test to see if anyone has Ground/Fire/Fighting?
    4/ Both your bugs learn Shadow Ball, like you said. After getting the shell bell, the coverage is probably more valuable then morning sun on Chuck, although this is somewhat debatable.
    Good run! Keep up the good work!

    One thing I was wondering if you'd try was going for the hidden power TM from slateport and seeing what type it is. You can buy an unlimited amount of them, so you can replace the TM and add it back later if need be, and it has potential to be really good type coverage - either physical or special. Might be worth trying out in other runs :]
