Even more insane is that he wasn't allowed to save-scum; if he got hit even once, he'd have to delete the save and start over from the very beginning.

Level 100 Nidoking by Mt. Moon and had to get creative with his route so he didn't need to use x items for power ups?

Lmao at the jojo reference during the Hypnosis/Pokeflute loop

Curious as to how he got past the rival battle at the very beginning though.

Probably reset until it just growled/tail whipped the whole time

Squirtle only knows Tail Whip and Tackle; Tail Whip lowers Defense, which is a completely useless stat, and Tackle doesn't have 100 accuracy. Meanwhile, Charmander knows Scratch, which is 100 accuracy. Since the first battle is so early in the game, there's very little time lost on a full reset, so brute force is enough. It only took ~25 resets on average to get a run past the first rival, which took around 6~8 wasted turns.

I mean it at least requires a shit ton of luck to never have a single one of your pokemon be hit a single time

I watched a bit of the first video and he grinded against metapods for at least like 3 hours to evolve his ratatta and charmander

So lots and lots of safe grinding

from what I watched of that video it seemed like he was stopping to do a lot of math to make sure he was fast enough to 1 hit stuff without taking damage. but he had to grind two pokemon to lvl 100 and one to 79 without taking any damage.

They do this kinda stuff just to see if it's possible/if they can.


i'm all for self-imposed challenges but resetting two dozen times isn't exactly thrilling

Ehhh... Some decent Pokemon at Level 100 could easily out-speed anything you encounter. From there the only concerns strategically would be ensuring your OHKO everything if you can, and avoiding priority attacks like Quick Attack.

Starting at Level 5, though, sounds nasty.

Why does the time investment minimize the achievement for you?

Is Alex Honnold climbing up a mountain with no ropes unimpressive because he spent years preparing? (Extreme example but it's the same point)
