Pokemon Solo Challenges.

[Fuelbi]

Alright my current status. I am having a hell of a lot of trouble in the eterna gym. *Shudders* so many grass types and only one horsea. It was so hard getting past all the other trainers. Especially the girl on the right of the clock. She kept using stun spore on my horsea and I kept using smokescreen on those **** budews. She kept using absorb on me and I had to ****ing keep buying more super potions to keep my **** health up...


EDIT: You know, somebody needs to put up a strategy guide for solo runs because it is extremely hard to defeat gardenia with just a horsea. I mean Turtwig is pretty easy as it just uses Sunny Day and Relfect for the first 2 turns which gives me some free time to defeat it if you high enough level and if you have enough speed, you can just defeat him easily before it uses razor leaf on you, but cherrim is so **** hard because of magic leaf and grass knot...

I saw my brother's lonely copy of Red version sitting next to my GBC today, so I figured eh, why not.

Groan I am still trying to beat the eterna gym gym leader. I swear I am a lvl 32 and I still can't beat the **** woman... grrrr **** her and her cherrim!!!

Are you sure we can't evolve pokemon? If I could evolve Horsea I could probably win the **** battle

 

[Metal~Mario]

Brawly will be a pain. That and Poochy can't learn anything decent.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I know. I'm going to have to spam a ton of leveling..

-Terywj

 

[Metal~Mario]

Shoulda hacked it so it could learn Poison Fang.

 

[Zook]

Good luck when you get to Koga/Sabrina.

That's gonna be a *****. Luckily, Poison is X2 effective against Bug/Posion in that game.

Hehehe Fat Stacks lol

Yeah, its probably the best Pokemon nickname ever.

 

[Fuelbi]

@terywj I know how you feel my friend I know how you feel. If I were lets say a rock type or something thats normal against grass types, I would have to be at at least lvl 15-20 or so. But, since I had to choose the pokemon that is weak against grass, I am at lvl 32 now... well that and since I don't have to spread the exp amongst pokemon, I guess thats another reason why Im so high leveled.

I am probably gonna die at the Sunnyshore gym -_-

Again are you sure we can't evolve the **** pokemon?

Halle-****ing-luja

lvl 37 and I beat the eterna gym. **** so ****ing hard. I swear I have spent all afternoon leveling up just to be in league with these guys!!!

I don't know how much I'll be keeping up with this run, as I actually started it a few weeks ago and haven't touched it since a few days afterward (yay TWEWY), but I'll finish it eventually.

I just beat Brock! Man was that an uphill battle.

[Fuelbi]

Its funny, thanks to all that leveling I did at gardenia's I now have a horsea circa lvl 45 when im only in the 3rd gym XD. I hope sunnyshore gets easier...


Anyways I defeated the Hearthome gym, but the mismagious was a bit of trouble since it kept using Magical Leaf... But easy none the less

 

[Metal~Mario]

You've got it in the bag now.

Are you allowed to teach Horsea TMs?

 

[Fuelbi]

I hope yeah because I taught it Ice Beam

 

[Metal~Mario]

I was thinking teach it Natural gift and give it a berry for a specific poke.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I hope yeah because I taught it Ice Beam

Well using TMs on SoloRuns depends on the player. If you wanted a challenge you could limit 1 or 2 or even no TMs.

-Terywj

 

[Fuelbi]

Oh well Ive limited myself to atleast 1 TM, which would be Ice Beam... its a pain having to face Grass Types when you have no defense.

 

[Metal~Mario]

Shoulda used Lotad.

 

[Fuelbi]

lol lotad sucks you silly goose person !

 

[Metal~Mario]

Lotad is neutral to grass.

and learns good stuff.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Leech Seed+Rain Dish stall? Or were you just aiming to sweep?

-Terywj

 

[Metal~Mario]

Stalling is better since you have items and stuff like that.

And coms are too stupid to switch out of it.

Yay i'm happy someone did this. I was going to but I noobed out with Lunatone. I just beat the sootpoolis gym, and I'm bored lol. I think I'm going to try silver with teddiursa :D

 

[mood4food77]

ditto solo run

someone do it

 

[Circa]

I must say, Ecruteak City is probably the cruelest place for solo Pokemon challenges. ._. This is my second time during a solo challenge where I've taken on Morty, and I had to rely on luck to beat him both times...

That's because you're using Jigglypuff, aren't you?

Because Spinarak is such a beast. :3

It kinda got covered up after a few other people posted I guess. The Jigglypuff run-through was deleted by a friend of mine a while back, so when this thread got revived I decided to do a Spinarak run-through instead. Morty is difficult because his team consists entirely of Curse and Hypnosis users, and they're all relatively fast. At lvl 43, my Spinarak couldn't outspeed his Gengar without Quick Claw, so I had to use that and hope for Hypnosis misses to beat him before being murdered by the Curse that was ripping out 1/4th of my health every turn. I had the same issues with Jigglypuff, although Jigglypuff couldn't even outspeed the first Gastly. It was admittedly easier with Jigglypuff as well though, because the Haunters couldn't Night Shade her and she could actually OHKO all of them (which Spinarak couldn't).

I keep on forgetting to take pictures when I need to, so they're a little late on what they're supposed to represent (beating Jasmine and catching Red Gyarados). ._.

 

[Fuelbi]

My horsea and HM slaves. Asking why my turtwig evolved? Well... double battles on the road have made me level it up... I just caught finneon recently and Staravia was caught when I needed a fly slave ^^

HM moves for each

Grottle:
Rock Smash
Cut

Finneon: Surf

Staravia: Fly

Im planning on giving grottle defog when I find it

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Wait. Don't you mean Staravia?

And an update to my run.

Poochyena is now level 20. I'm going to battle Roxanne.

Oh, and I accidentally evolved it, but I'm too lazy to go back and redo all that crap.

-Terywj

 

[Fuelbi]

I've been thinking of doing a ditto run after I'm done with Horsea... and maybe post it up on youtube, but I need a timer of the sorts to be able to be within the time limit

 

[Circa]

UPDATE:

It's Elite Four time. I'm not quite there, but all I have to do is make it through the route of trainers on the way to the Elite Four and through Victory Road, and it'll be done. Of course, I'm not stopping with the Elite Four. I'm also taking on all of Kanto with my faithful Spinarak, and ultimately Red as well. This is simply going to be the biggest moment for it, as I remember my level 92 Umbreon back in the days of my youth having trouble with the Elite Four during a solo run-through of just them. Should be interesting seeing how it holds up, considering it's nigh impossible for me to also grind in this game now (seriously, everything is like level 20-30...).

As for stats and such, it's level 60 and knows Psychic, Night Shade, Leech Life, and Fury Swipes. No TMs have been used yet (and aren't planned to be). It has 149 HP, 102 Attack, 91 Defense, 82 Special Attack, 82 Special Defense, and 80 Speed. I have no clue if all that can hold up against the Elite Four, but I figure trying's all that can be done at this point?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Night Shade will be epically useful I assume. GO WRITER!

[Fuelbi]

Hey guys, when Im done with this, what solo run should I do next? I was thinking of doing either Magikarp or Ditto...

I wish you were allowed to actually evolve the pokemon you do the run with...

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I accidentally evolved my Poochyena while training. I forgot what level it evolved and then had to be away for what I thought was only a minute. Turned out to be around 10 minutes and when I came back I had a Mightyena.

-Terywj

 

[Fuelbi]

Ohh I feel sorry, thank god Im aware that Horsea evolves at lvl 32. I think I might screw up though one of these days. The little vermin won't leave me alone each level it gains. **** evolution animation!!! I really need to find an Everstone quickly. Where DO you get those?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

In D/P/Pt? You can find some in the Underground.

I don't remember exactly where in-game though.
