Can You Beat Pokemon Emerald Kaizo With Only Grass Pokemon?! (HARDEST ROM HACK)

Welcome to my first Pokemon challenge in a ROM hack, Emerald Kaizo with only grass type Pokemon! This game is insanely hard, as it doesn't allow you to use items in battle, and levels and teams are massively altered along with AI in order to give you the most challenging Pokemon adventure possible. Come join me through the insanity that is Emerald Kaizo with only grass types!

Emerald Kaizo is basically how it’d be if pokemon were real: extremely diverse populations of Pokémon everywhere you go, and everyone you meet actually knows how to fight and trains actually good Pokémon.

You could retry E4 with Ludicolo on the team. It can learn ice moves to help with Drake. It has swift swim and isn't super affected by ice, so it should help with Glacia too.

[@paintedeyes9736]

Love your content, and I really appreciate the effort you put into them. Also really like that you upload "failed" runs; it makes it more exciting to watch content if you don't know beforehand if the challenges are de facto beatable. Only thing I would suggest it matching the audio with the footage. Otherwise: great stuff! Keep up the excellent work

[@Neefew]

5:15 sounds like you're doing a POC Emerald Kaizo in the future

[@mjm3091]

3:25 I think aside expanding the teams with Pokemon that can counter grass types (which are SE in a rock gym), Yanma actually fits the fossil theme of the Rustboro City (you revive them here and in remakes Roxanne's gym is full of those as well). It a Pokemon that evolves through Ancientpower (traditionally fossil related move) and the name for both Yanma and Yanmega are based on prehistoric dragonflies. I feel like if we would use other type mons - this one is great choice.

[@superzenmodeman]

Someone has done a mono grass run of emerald kaizo so it should be doable. I recall Ludicolo was pretty important, and I think they also used an explosion Shiftry.

[@kevans2642]

Nice try! Ludicolo is ok vs the Dragons, and it gets good Rain abilities for the Ice types. Also Cradily can use Recover and rock slide so you can outlast the Latis and Kingdra.

[@dzigayu4944]

This video is a blast form the past to me since my first monotype run was a Grass-type Emerald one.

[@steve.m7443]

I did an easier Drayano Hack of gen 5 with all grass types using the same game rules you did. And the elite four champion had all dragon types in the mid level 80's and the only way I was able to win was to use the grass types that knew weather ball (AKA Roserade & Victreebell) in Hail which required a Ludicolo (& weirdly Roserade) to set it up. Even then other suppport moved like Tailwind, Sleep Powder & Stat buff moves were needed just to survive long enough to get some lucky RNG. Grass Pokemon can be really strong but they have so many type weaknesses that make it difficult. Anyways sorry you couldn't win but thanks for using my fav type! Great Vid

[@olavjorvik94]

Cacturne is one of the coolest pokemon of this whole gen. AMAZING. Simple and clean design.

[@jacobluna305]

I beat Pokemon Sapphire yesterday with only gen 3 grass types. The elite four on Sapphire was actually not that bad. I used sky uppercut against the dark type elite four. I used faint attack to beat the ghost type elite four. I used sky uppercut, iron tail/steel wing and grass type moves against the ice type elite four. I used ice beam and dragon claw against the dragon type elite four. I leveled up all my pokemon to level 50 before the elite four. Champion Steven was not bad, the only problem was the steel flying type. I used confuse ray and leachseed to slowly bring it down with added ice beams. The other Pokemon in Stevens team where easy to bring down. Metagross missed 2 meteor mash attacks which helped. Claydol used earthquake nonstop agaisnt Ludicolo which does little damage to me. I used revives and hyper potions to make sure I didn't lose. Aggron was one shot with a surf lol. That's how I became champion hahaha. It was a fun little challenge, it made the game more interesting. The grass type starter's speed is insanely high 157 at level 52. That speed made the challenge much more playable.
