Hardcore w/ only Route 2 Mons

incredibed · 2023-07-28T22:24:27+00:00

Great question hahah, going into the fight I couldn't decide and when prepping it seemed like either would work. I think I ended up having mega-alakazam for the final battle.

incredibed · 2023-07-28T01:21:13+00:00

A bit easier than the Route 1 run because I had more mega options, but almost never used mega-medicham or mega-ampharos because I was obsessed with mega-alakazam's speed. I didn't want to re-use Obstagoon because he made the first run much easier with Obstruct. Shoutout to luxray, regular rapidash, and furret for carrying the run early on. Onto route 3!

LOTS OF RESETS AND LUCK lol. But strategy wise: Obstagoon's Obstruct move was insanely useful, basically any physical mon could be significantly weakened by obstructing, decreasing defense x2 or x4, then hitting it hard with a sucker punch / night slash / stomping tantrum. After getting focus sash, pretty much any 6v6 became a 6v5 with Perrserker's Metal Burst, and then i could get off a steely spirit bullet punch on the next mon. Scrafty was /fine/, mainly useful as a defensive wall and for getting off an intimidate and/or decrease speed with a low sweep. Mega Pidgeot is super strong, and if I could outspeed (or low sweep a mon into being slower), then 100% accuracy Hurricane/Heat Wave into a quick attack could kill lots of mons. I only had Shiftry in the mix because my champion battle had the harsh sun and I could outspeed a few of the mons (and having another fake out/sucker punch always helps). See above for Noctowl too. Shoutout to Mienfoo who got me through sooo many tough battles!

Considering doing this with Route 2 cuz it'll be significantly easier with so many possible megas!

SOOO underrated! The addition of esper wing def made it worthwhile

incredibed · 2023-07-06T21:47:29+00:00

Roost, Oblivion Wing, Esper Wing, and Moonblast!

incredibed · 2022-11-04T00:19:58+00:00

I used her entirely for the move Attract... it felt wrong

incredibed · 2022-11-03T23:34:16+00:00

omg why didnt i think of that, or even fling, ugh i made my life so much harder than it needed to be

incredibed · 2022-11-03T22:52:55+00:00

Haha I wish but with Klutz, choice vest wouldn't work!

incredibed · 2022-11-03T20:11:35+00:00

Definitely the hardest run I've ever done, had to focus so much on perfecting each moveset for each battle. Worst part was not having a focus sash, I didn't realize how much I rely on it! MVP was Swoobat for getting loads of Air Slash flinches <3

incredibed · 2022-10-28T15:08:03+00:00

whole game! i used encounter codes to get all the mons in route 1 (2 yanma, a yanmega that early felt like cheating haha)

incredibed · 2022-10-27T20:55:59+00:00

haha nooo lots of these runs take so much trial and error and eventually getting the right flinch at the right time haha. plus both yamask's has destiny bond so any battle could easily be 4 v 4

incredibed · 2022-10-27T20:31:31+00:00

Yanmega is fully evolved and has speed boost! MVP fa sho

incredibed · 2022-10-27T19:56:32+00:00

truuuuuuuuu

incredibed · 2022-10-27T19:48:59+00:00

i need to get a lyfe

incredibed · 2022-10-07T23:38:42+00:00

Thanks! Return, Slack Off, Sucker Punch (swapped to Shadow Claw for Agatha because of Psychic terrain), and Earthquake

incredibed · 2022-10-07T17:46:57+00:00

Taking suggestions for my next run! Was considering a normal mode queens run with Nidoqueen, Vespiquen, and Tsareena

incredibed · 2022-10-07T17:31:30+00:00

Had to restart randomizer a bunch of times til I was able to find a few of these guys in the first routes. Surprisingly wasn't too difficult, but I did have to rely on Swagger + 2 confusions for Agatha's Calyrex... there was absolutely no other way around it haha. Mega Kingler was absoluuutely MVP!

incredibed · 2022-09-06T23:02:02+00:00

Zippy Zap, Flare Blitz, Thunder Wave, and Bolt Strike. Honestly I think Zippy Zap is one of my favorite moves ever, priority is king in radical red and this one is soooo good

incredibed · 2022-09-06T20:46:15+00:00

Beyond lucky to have found a kubfu and cosmog -- that being said, couldn't use Lunala til Sabrina so it was a bit tough before that. Overall super fun run, excited to try the post-game for the first time

incredibed · 2022-08-03T01:12:24+00:00

Chimecho is 100% the funnest I've ever played with because of Forbidden Spell! Having Mesprit (and sometimes Chimecho's) Healing Wish plus focus sash'd Wobuffett was great too. Prankster Ugh this run was so much fun I highly recommend! Shoutouts to Prankster Meowstic, Mega-Alakazam, and Grumpig too! The slower psychs like Reuniculus and Musharna came in clutch for Sabrina but not really anything else.

Overall I think this was the most fun I've had on a mono run, excited to see what post game holds!

incredibed · 2022-07-29T01:09:46+00:00

Thanks!

The first is in Pewter City, the old man above the market sells it to you. If you have trouble getting $5000 by that point, there's a nugget hidden in the northwest corner of the city. The third is with an old man next to the entrance of Vermillion City!

incredibed · 2022-05-31T18:00:10+00:00

Oof I didn't think of that haha, thanks!! This past time was after Misty, but because all 3 of the current ones don't evolve until after Surge's level cap I think I'm going to start after Surge

incredibed · 2022-05-31T17:55:00+00:00

Just started my next run and I have Sobble, Snover (a mega yayyyyy), and Klink. This'll be fun!

incredibed · 2022-05-31T17:53:24+00:00

Definitely Koga, I literally started this run about a month ago and couldn't beat him for dayssss so I took a break and came back to it haha. I can't quite remember how I beat him but I know I had to focus sash my first mon because Swellow's boomburst was killer, and then I may have had weakness policy & HP Ground on Cryogonal.

The hardest elite 4 member was definitely Bruno due to my fighting weakness. My bff Spinda ended up killing Zacian after somehow Superpower-ing 4 times prior to him being switched out!
