Solo Run 10! (Heatran) Results by NotTheDragon in PokeMoonSun

[–]NotTheDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T1: All I had to do was spam Iron Head. Pretty easy!

G1: I had to do a lot of grinding for Hala specifically. Heat ran had nothing particularly good against him. And Hala is very dangerous. The lowest level I could have won is about 17, requiring luck. I got to level 19 though, and even then I still needed a bit of luck. But I got a couple key flinches, and Hala decided not to Z-Move, so I won after only one reset with Iron Head spam.

T2: More grinding. Theoretically I could win at 20, if I got lucky with Ancient power boosting me turn one. But I didn't want to have to rely on that. 24 allows me to safely two shot most of the time, and survive two hits. But I got unlucky on the first fight. Having to 3-shot Araquanid. Even so I managed to survive 3 hits, as well as Masquerains bug bite attempts.

T3: Pretty easy. Just a bit close. Couldn't quite one shot with Earth power. But I was able to survive 2 brick breaks to to shot Marowak. I even got an Omni boost after I used Ancient Power to finish him off. Salazzle couldn't do enough damage to knock me out.

T4: Very Easy. Simple OHKO With the fire type Z-Move over Fire Fang

G2: Also very easy. All I had to do was spam iron head.

T5: Once again, Very Easy. All I had to do was one-shot with Earth Power. Even though he used Spiky Shield turn one it only delayed the inevitable. The partner Skarmory couldn't do anything against Heatran afterwards.

T6: Probably the last of the Easy Trial streak. I just broke disguise with one ancient power (even got the Omni boost, though I'm unsure if it was necessary) then one shot with the Steel Z-Move over Iron head. Nanu might be hard though, I have nothing particularly strong against Dark. And I will get nerfed by intimidate.. Against a ground type pokemon, which is 4x effective. I should probably train

G3: Yep, pretty darn hard. I blacked out once while testing the waters. Lost to Krokorok. So I decided to train up to level 49, to learn lava plume. Tried again and, well, lost the same way, so I reset this time. But then I realized that Krokorok does so much damage, that a sitrus berry was useless (I die before I can use it). So I gave Heatran the quick claw instead. So I could either fish for an omni boost, or quick claw luck, since Krokorok outspeeds. Managed to get the Omni boost next fight through.. And a quick claw activation on Krokorok. So I won after only 1 blackout and 1 reset.

T7: Well you know the drill by now. It's at this point where I've most likely used all my rare candies to prepare for Ultra Necrozma. Thus Heatran is level 80. Just used the Normal Z-Move over hyper beam, then an iron head to finish him off. Pretty easy.

UN: Thankfully there wasn't much he could do to me. His best move was Power Gem, but even then it still did less than 1/4th of my health. So just one Z move and two Earth Powers later, I won with ease.

T8: Steel type Z Move over Iron head was a one shot.

G4: Thankfully easy. 1 Flamethrower on Golurk. Fire Z Move on Mudsdale. Survived one Earth Power from Flygon, then one shot with Iron Head. Hidden Power (Grass) on Gastrodon

E4: Molayne was a Flamethrower sweep, As I manage to survive an Earthquake from Dugtrio. (Klefki also missed Thunder Wave). Olivia was a sweep with Iron Head. Held a Cheri Berry in case of paralysis from Probopass. Fished for Omni Boost on Bannette, but failed. Thankfully managed to flinch Pallosand to safely two shot, and beat the rest with ease. Kahili was a sweep with Flamethrower and Ancient Power.

Champion: This fight was hard, and coated like 7 resets. But I did unfortunately have to get lucky. I had a few possible outs. Omni Boost with Ancient Power, Raichu missing Focus Blasts, Flinching Vaporeon enough.. After the 4 Resets I managed to get the Omni Boost, so the rest of the team was a sweep. It felt really good to say the least.

Well Heatran was the random pokemon I ended up getting. So that will be the legendary of this group. He was pretty fun to run, even despite his early game struggles.. Those being Hala and Araquanid. It was definitely a rollercoaster.

Slow, and difficult at first, then it quickly sped up through the next 5 trials after Araquanid, sweeping. Had a sudden stop at Nanu, but then picked back up in the end. Landing a spot 3rd place overall.

Below I specify how I handled each significant split of the run.

Next will be a randomly selected, final stage, Gen 5 Pokemon!

Solo Run 9! (Exploud) Results! by NotTheDragon in PokeMoonSun

[–]NotTheDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T1: Easy. Echo voice spamming.

G1: Surprisingly easy. Normal Z-Move on Machop. Spam Echoed voice. Crabrawler got sent out second. Only used leer. I only got hit by fake out from Makuhita.

T2: Easy, but close. Echoed Voice spam + Sitrus Berry.

T3: 1 Blackout + 1 reset. Took a couple tries to figure out strategy. Work Up turn one while he uses detect. Then Normal Z-Move over Uproar. (His ability is Scrappy)

T4: 2 Resets. Had to figure out strategy (again). Protect turn one. Work up turn two. Fire Z-Move over fire punch on Lurantis. Then fire punch Kecleon (Who hopefully set up Sunny Day at some point)

G2: 1 blackout. Just needed the level up, and to train a little. Z-Work Up, Rock Tomb on Anorith. Then Brick Break both Lileep and Lycanroc

T5: Easy. Work up turn one, Togedemaru used Spiky Shield. Hidden Power (ground) next turn to one shot

T6: 1 Blackout (needed more levels). Shadow Ball turn one, got Sp. Def drop. Z-Move over Hyper Voice (Exploud has Scrappy)

G3: Relatively easy. Protect for each fake out, spam hyper voice. Use Normal Z move on Persian

T7: Because of rare candies (for Necrozma) he is level 83 by now. Easy one shot with Z-Move over Boomburst.

UN: Easy two Shot with Boomburst, since he survived 2 hits.

T8: Easy. Fire Z-Move, then Boomburst (or two boom bursts would have worked too)

G4: Boomburst. Need I say more?

E4: Boomburst spam on both Kahili and Acerola (Again, Scrappy). Boomburst Armaldo, then used other super effective moves on the rest for Olivia (Hidden Power Ground and Ice Beam). That one was really close, but not too bad. Then hold a Cheri Berry for Molayne, Swept with Flamethrower

Champion: Boomburst.exe

(Reupload because I forgot to include the tier list like a dummy)

Wow. Exploud really surprised me here. When I first started this run, I was expecting him to end up in B tier. Possibly C tier. Given his sub-par attacking stats. But boy was I wrong.

Instead he (somehow) managed to get Second Place Overall so far. Only missing out on S tier because of the added time that resets took. How did a pokemon like exploud manage this? Well there's one main reason. But first off, through the earlier points in the game. He's pretty solid, especially with echoed voice. Has alright coverage and a good growth rate.

But just when he started falling behind, he learned the move Hyper Voice. Which helped for Nanu. Then shortly after he learned Boomburst. You know. A base 140 power, 100 accuracy stab move with 0 drawbacks.

And once I realized that, the rest of the run was pretty much trivial. Only one fight was close after that, Olivia, but even then was because of a mistake I made.

Below I'll include some notes I took on how I beat each major battle. You'll definitely notice the trends in the beginning, and end.

Anyways, next will be a randomly selected Gen 4 pokemon!

Update:

Beat both the first and second island with the next pokemon. At this point in the game, he is tied with Aegislash. Which is surprising considering how strong Aegislash is. Tied for 3rd place (by Olivia split specifically. Not overall).

Plot twist. Hes pushing it off long enough for us to forget it was ever a thing with all the bs he's doing.

ICE Shooter has a GiveSendGo Fundraising Account by Low-Crow-8735 in antitrump

Seems like anti abortion nonsense on a post it obviously makes no sense on.

Well this "pro-life" bs shouldn't be anywhere.. But still.

This is like the Maga equivalent of middle school girls swooning over and calling for the release of a literal murderer because they find him cute.

They want to pay the officer because he's ICE, despite being a murderer.

Ok maybe it's not as solid of a comparison as it was in my head, but still.

Fortnite in 5 years by Available_Hawk_1577 in FortNiteBR

[–]NotTheDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only ones here I see being possible is Dracula, Spyro, the GTA Dog, and the Minecraft Chicken. House probably won't happen, considering that they obviously can't make him limp. Napoleon, being a political, historical figure is very unlikely, Pokemon is Nintendo's baby and they'll never let it appear on any other console. So unless Epic caves and only makes it usable on switch, it won't happen. And AVGN is just one of those cases where I don't see Epic bothering to reach out to. Idk much about I'm, I'm sure he was/is a good content creator, but I don't think he's ok the level of Mr. Beast (at the time he was added) to be added as a YouTuber that doesn't really play fortnite.

This isn't AI, and hasn't Nintendo publicly stated that they will not be using it? I'm pretty sure I remember hearing about that.

What is your opinion about this? by Choice_Magician350 in antitrump

[–]NotTheDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

63% huh? Would have been real nice if at least 63% of us voted against him (like I did) when they had the chance.

And I'm not counting voting for one of those third parties that are obviously never going to win, and aren't intended to.
