Can I Beat Pokemon Emerald with ONLY HM Moves? 🔴 Pokemon Challenges ► NO ITEMS IN BATTLE

[@MahDryBread]

Yo, Waterfall doesn't cause flinching till gen 4 This is gen 3 Just thought I'd say that since I'm seeing A LOT of comments about it

[@Stejers]

MDB could you make a recoil move only run?

[@ssjmatt8424]

I know this is an odd one. But you could see if someone like Atsign or a rom hacker could produce unique challenges. Like if enemies ALWAYS critical hit, or the only encounters are ones that are considered bad pokemon.

[@jiffbombastic3694]

You should definitely do one in gen 4, hust cause of the special-physical move split.

waterfall is physical in gen 4 onwards. I teach that to my water onix rather than surf

Linoone is one of the only pokemon i know of that is capable of soloing the emerald elite four and champion while still being under the level of the elite four, specifically by abusing the power of substitute and belly drum.

[@Iceyia]

@@gokun_98 yes and after doing it myself, i can confirm it is actually one of the easiest ways to beat the elite four, since you don't need to worry about a lot of things, like switching and items, and is honestly one of the few things that will make you feel like an absolute badass when you finish

[@rosheafan]

@@Iceyia Substitute/Belly Drum/Surf/Slash?

[@Iceyia]

@@rosheafan FlygonHG has a really good video explaining the step by step process for each member, but the strat basically boils down to finding which pokemon in each elite four battle you can belly drum in front of safely, followed by a sweep. I believe surf and slash were used, but it may have been headbutt.

[@AceWolf456]

[@jonathoncampbell6813]

I would love a Zigzagoon/Linoone only run! The move variety would be a delight and would still provide a bit of challenge if you did it in gen 3, because it's special attack is still pretty low.

[@judgementwings]

Belly drum sweeps

[@jonathoncampbell6813]

@@judgementwings Valid. Though it would be a valuable move slot for type coverage and you'd lose health. If you came across a hard hitting rock or steel type it might get difficult. I don't even want to think about if he does gen 3 and tries the Steven fight. It might be a pretty chill run except for a few rough spots depending on what gen MDB pick.

[@Goopster3]

Funnily enough, I did a linoone run in x and I won for the exact reason you said, it really did surprise me at how much damage it could do, and it’s practically the bidoof of gen 3 so that helped as well

[@That_Doctor_Del_Fella]

I did a ruby zigzagoon run. It took me being level 90, belly drum, a sitrus berry, and good rng on avoiding toxic to clear Steven. Getting able to overpower Roxanne and Wattson with only normal moves nearly drove me to madness.

[@munchrai6396]

Really looking forward to the gen 4 version of this run because Rock Smash actually gets a bit better. Would be really cool to do this run in HGSS because both Dunsparce and Togekiss make great use of move thanks to their Serene Grace Ability, which makes the move drop defense 100% of the time

I honestly have not understood even a single one of the wrestling references made in any of these challenge videos. BUT they make me smile and laugh every single time because MDB always sounds so happy to include these references and I can hear the smile in his voice from laughing at his own jokes. It's just wholesome and enjoyable, so even though I don't understand it at all, I think I'm laughing just as much as someone who does understand. Thanks MDB for putting your all into your content; every single video I've watched is a blast and I hope you feel better enough to get back to what you love soon.

I guess we should dicuss how bad that will be 😂 Just like i we know MDB, he will most likely get 5 hits outside of every major battle and in major battles just 2, at highest! He would go even under the lowest possible number with his bad luck he has sometimes. I guess it will be bad!

[@numbernumber25]

@@jand1993 I believe that is quite an overstatement, around 2/3 of the multi-hit list contains moves that have accuracy under 100. 7 of the 9 more common multi-hit moves have accuracy below 100. Honestly the only way I see this run going well is that the pokemon that are using these moves must either have an ability that guarantees the amount of hits, an ability that boosts Pokemon attacks base power, or just increases critical hit ratio. The only pokemon I really know may be a contender would be Scyther, Beedrill, or Clefairy. Probably other Pokemon that have better abilities that could work well with multi-hit attacks.

[@jand1993]

@@numbernumber25 i'm aware that most of these attack have a power of 15-20 and an accuracy of 85. I know, several pokemon can increase the power of moves with a power of under 50% (like scyther) or can increase the number of hits overall. With those it is most likely possible. I meant it will be bad in terms like other runs. Not magicarp bad or metronome-only or that, but like mono type runs or trades only at the beginning. With the luck he has had several times, this will be tough in my opinion

Something I always try to do that I'd like to see you try, is a pokemon run with only "unique" pokemon.

One thing I'll say - while you say "nobody wants to see me grind for hours.." - The story is still fascinating, to get a sense of scale and time that you invested (suffered?) through repeated attempts. It's why I enjoy when people have a timer in their challenges - suddenly they have 5 more hours on the clock, that they don't even mention sometimes ^^

Challenge suggestion: You're allowed a full team, but between the six Pokemon, none of the Pokemon are allowed to share a move type For example, if one Pokemon knows a fire, normal, steel, and flying move then none of the other five are allowed any of those move types Probably easier in newer generations due to expanded move pool, probably harder in older generations when one may be scarping the barrel for move type variety

I think a good idea for a run would be Pokémon Emerald with only Skitty but you can only use Assist. You can slap Exp share onto the other Pokémon you need for the run for them to learn moves you would want Skitty or Delcatty to use and then there’s the dilemma of either keeping your team limited to ensure certain moves come up more often or go full 6 for max coverage with a low chance of seeing them
