Can You Beat Pokémon Violet Using the Worst Six Pokémon?

I remembered my password! I really wanted to do a challenge in Scarlet & Violet and taking after the Bug run in Sword, this seemed like a fun idea. Today, we're asking the question: Can you beat Pokémon Violet using only the worst six Pokémon in the game? No items in battle. Set Battle Style (even if the game has removed the option). Thanks for watching!

A fun fact to note for these games and any future challenges like this. Formerly single use items like focus sash are no longer consumed after battles. Focus sash stun spores or endeavors seem like they could come in handy in a lot of moments in this challenge. Great video either way! Always love seeing stuff like this.

[@CyberchaoX]

Scatterbug actually is really good early in the game with access to status moves. Of course, it also gets to evolve quickly when you're not doing a challenge run, but I think even if it were stuck as a Scatterbug it would've done work in the second Gym. And that Montenevera Gym was incredible.

You can actually get a Magikarp at the beach where you fight Nemona if you backtrack after defeating the lechonk. Or, you could day one, at least. Idk, I threw my Fuecoco out of it's ball there, and it became my second catch (following the aforementioned lechonk).

I actually love the friendship mechanics in Scarlet and Violet. When the “your pokemon toughs it out cause it doesn’t want you to feel sad” kicks in, that mechanic actually makes me feel more attached to my team, and makes me feel like they’re actual living things with all the emotions a loyal pet would have and not just some lifeless, digital creatures. Also, that game mechanic saved me a few times. Pokemon Scarlet is my first Pokemon game since Gen 4. Yup, I haven’t kept up with Pokemon and its anime for that long. Scarlet was my reintroduction so my poke knowledge and type matchups were not great 😂😂😂. This game made me fall in love with Pokemon again.

Holy heck; an unexpected Christmas present in the form of your return to uploads! Wonderful to see your fun content is back! 0:37 - Yeah, they really buffed up the stats of all the Paldean region Pokémon in this gen. No Johto or Alolan awkwardness here. A shame that, as someone whose favourite type is Bug, it is the Bug types on the lower end of the stat line up even for the Paldea region Pokémon. 3:51 - Azuril's stats are that low!? Quite a shock. I ended up using one throughout all of Pokémon Emerald (assisted by other, stronger team members though) and I never knew it's stats were that low. I suppose it is a Baby Pokémon and Thick Fat or Hug Power makes a considerable difference to it's low stats in either offence or defensive measures. Nice type variety at the start already. 6:39 - I remember witnessing a Sunkern only run before, an despite it's low stats, the strong movepool it has makes it a fairly interesting Pokémon to use compared to other low stat Pokémon like beginning Bug types and such. Leaf the Sunkern's celebratory dance just off-screen was adorable and hilarious! 9:24 - Leaf the Sunkern here avoiding all attacks with his Ultra Instinct. Also proving itself the true ace of your team despite him having the lowest stats (a shame the Bug types aren't getting much use). 15:46 - Putting aside the fact that trucks are apparently a bigger threat than giant Pokémon buffed my ancient herbs with mystical properties, what is with that glitch!? It seems Azuril has a habit of transforming in unexpected ways when evolving. 19:30 - Hooray, some Bug type achievement at last! Also, loved seeing Alfombra with her Terastalize hat at 22:09. 28:43 - Oh my gosh; that is terrifying! The Terastalizing making it look like it's night time just amps up the creepy feel to it. 33:43 - It's a shame that Xyla the Kricketot is only here for support and is unlikely to get a finale win under their belt, but surviving 3 Brave Birds in a row plus Stealth Rock damage is at least impressive feat. 39:57 - To be fair, said champion is Geeta, so it's not too surprising that the six worst Pokémon could pull this off. Astounding video and the lack of context for the story actually made it funnier. Again, wonderful to have you back. By the way, do you plan to do one of these videos for Legends Arceus as any point?
