We've done some hard Pokemon challenges in the past, but usually they were a solo Pokemon challenge run.

For those unaware, the whole weird buzzy thing on lysandre is to forcefully mega evolve his gyrados. You have to really read back some of the comments made to figure it out.

With kingdra, if you give it the scope lens and use focus energy, you will always crit Draco metor also means the special attack drops don’t matter

I feel like Diantha only being referred to as an actress more than a Champion is kind of refreshing, referring to her with something she does more than what her Pokémon can do.

[@DaZebraffe]

Pro-tip for any future challenges you do on X or Y in which you're allowed to use Goodra: Any time you enter, then exit a building, it resets the whole overworld's weather status. So if you go to any of the places in the game world where a town and a route that rains frequently are both right next to each other, you can just run around for a bit to FORCE it to rain.

[@SogekingFirebirdStar]

Would love to see you do a Normal type Platinum run.

You could get Draco Meteor for Kingdra. Critical Hit does not count the drops of the Special Atack, so you could use as sweeper to Crit Everything with a superstrong attack.

[@ParasaurolophusZ]

I was expecting to see a much harder time early on. Dragons resist a lot, but most of them take forever to evolve, so I thought having a team of lower stat early-evolution dragons would be rough. Seems I was wrong!

As someone who's favorite pokemon is Hydreigon since he's 10 years old, I do enjoy this thumbnail very much

[@icefirepokemon]

Hey Silph! Love your work! But if you want an impossible run, try FireRed/LeafGreen with only water types! I tried this because I thought it would be easy given the variety you can get. But this is made insane by making NO wild encounters until you get either the Good Rod or Super Rod, which you can't get until beating Erika! The only viable encounters are your starter, a Magikarp you buy outside My. Moon, and a Vaporeon after finding the Eevee in Celadon City. Getting four badges with just those three without over levelling is crazy!!
