Speaking of the Root Fossil, Lileep is one of my favourite 'mons and would make for an interesting solo challenge.

[@LunaDeaminac]

Here’s an idea, beat Gen 1 without any items except HMs and other essential items. No healing items in or out of battle, no PP boosting or regeneration, no TMs, no Pokeballs. You can still use gifted Pokémon so that Starters, the Eevee in Celadon (which you won’t be able to evolve), Silph co’s Lapras and either Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee for the dojo. It’s actually possible on paper if you pick either Charmander or Bulbasaur because they can both learn Cut, Lapras can learn both Surf and Strength and the Hitmons can learn Strength too. It’d probably be an easier one to do for most of it but you won’t be able to heal between Elite 4 members and you’d really have to manage those Power Points so I’d expect a difficulty spike there.

CHALLENGE IDEA: Can you beat Pokemon SoulSilver using no moves that have "Power?" Any other form of attacking is allowed as long as the move doesn't have a 'Power' stat, including unlisted 'Power' stats like Low Kick or random 'Power' stats like Magnitude and Metronome. Basically, if it uses your stats in damage calculation, it's right out. I expect there to be plenty of moves that work fine, and I worry Nightshade and Seismic Toss might be a bit strong if you overlevel, but with such a move restriction and so many immunities around you'll need to have a few different plans ready at all times. Start by replacing Totodile with Buizel. Why Buizel? It gets Sonic Boom at level 1. You'll need to catch and train a Hoppip or seriously grind your own Gastly for a chance at beating the second rival fight's Gastly, but I think once you do that you'll be pretty open with your options.

I did a nuzlocke years back similar to this challenge. The rules were, ( on top of the regular nuzlocke rules): 1. Your Pokémon could only use the first 4 moves it learnt, or 4 moves it has when you catch it. 2. Your allowed to teach each Pokemon 1 TM. 2) Outside of HM Helpers, you can reach each of your Pokémon 1 HM. 3) If your Pokémon learns a move when evolving (like charizard learning wing attack), you can teach it that move.

Very cool to see a run with a full party for a change. Slowly but steady I'm going to finish my personal quest

[@RogueSamaelZX]

Something funny happened to me when I watched this video : At 10:44, just after MDB said "let's do this", I had an Ad starting by "Pegi 18"... maybe the elite 4 battle was so brutal that youtube put a warning before.

I did this challenge a while back and used most of the same Pokemon as you. The only ones I used that you missed were Vulpix on Mount Pyre (Flamethrower, Confuse Ray and Will o Wisp) and Heracross in the Safari Zone (Brick Break).

Always love seeing new challenge runs from you, MDB! How about a Pokemon challenge where you can only deal damage with variable damage moves? Return, Magnitude, Psywave, Beat Up, Spit Up, Rollout/Ice Ball, 2-to-5-hit moves, and all moves whose base damage is calculated by weight/Speed/HP. If that's too strict to be doable, then moves with a set base damage AND a special condition allowing double damage (Knock Off, Pursuit, Brine, Earthquake, Gust, Stomp, etc.) could also be allowed.

Love it!! That's what I thought in my last comment like we need another challenges like only one pokemon challenges! Like I said... Love it!! Ur on the right way ^^

[@MythsolverMercy]

Commenting before he starts the challenge: this seems like an easy one for him.

[@rpgfan007]

good run mdb!

[@ajshow4060]

I have an idea for a challenge. Can you be Pokemon Fire Red without evolving your Pokemon. You can set out the game but I did some interesting idea. Love your content please never stop making up

[@john98765333]

I feel like you are underestimating the power of an arm-Thrusting Hariyama. Hariyama is awesome!

[@DanF791]

I think the full team runs are becoming my favorites. Where you actually get to evolve and strategize. The no new moves setting is perfect for it, but how about switching it up and do a „No STAB moves“ run? Could be cool to play around the types to not get hit hard while also gathering up type coverage in the offense

Pokémon challenge: gen 1 only krabby, no hm Pokémon. Krabby can learn all 3 required hms. And no, fly is not required, dig is not required, and fly would only save about 10 minutes of back tracking.

[@robertlupa8273]

You forgot to mention: ONLY Krabby. No HM Pokemon.

[@hipojoe]

@robert lupa good on you ;)!

[@jadethest0ne]

Another fun run! I'd love to see a FOSSIL POKEMON run!

[@mattiaskostaszamanis1933]

This was quite interesting. Nice to see more then just one pokemon!!

[@aseiryo]

HeartGold with Nosepass. No particular reason, just like the big nose boy.

[@therealthumbsupguy]

I kinda wanna see you do a run where you're only allowed to catch 5 pokémon in total and you're not allowed to use new moves. You HAVE to catch all 5 pokémon before fighting the 5th gym. It'd make this type of challenge extra, well, challenging. :D

[@Sonicsion]

It'd be cool to see these kinds of runs more often if you can. I find them more entertaining than using a single pokemon and it pretty much being 'I bullied my way through this fight with return'. Those are fun, but seeing a variety of pokemon and moves is great
