Can You Beat Pokemon Sword playing as Leon?

Leon is the champion of Pokemon Sword and Shield’s Galar region so he has basically already beaten the game... but is it possible to play as Leon and do it yourself? What does playing as Leon even mean?

I used Serebii.net as a reference, and in several parts of the video -
www.serebii.net
I have legitimately spent the best part of 3 months working on this video, probably reworked the script a dozen times, but I'm so happy with how it turned out. KZbin is a massive learning process as you really do have to do everything, editing, mixing, etc. Some of which I didn’t have much experience with... I spent a long time understanding how I can make my audio the best it can be, and while it's not perfect by a long shot, I'm proud with the improvement in this video over the Hop one. Anyway long rant but basically I'm really excited to (hopefully) get into a routine of uploading a lot more regularly! Ha. ha... like that will happen
This is a description, thanks for reading

Simple. Make a mod in which everytime you enter or exit an area, it takes you to some random place. To be Leon, you have to be as lost as he is.

[@PhoenixFirewastaken]

Exactly

During the 7th gym, the reason you won, assuming you had a blaze Charmander, is that blaze is a great ability if you don't get outsped, and can ohko. It was active assuming your Charmander has it during the parts of the guy where you were on 10 hp

I did a run with Charizard, Aegislash, Dragapult, Seismitoed, Rypherior, and Mr. Rime. No items (yes to held though), no grinding (I had to run from all wild Pokémon I didn't intend to capture. That being 5.), and because of this I was actually at a disadvantage for most of the game. Most trainers having access to healing items as well as me being under leveled for most battles (I was under Leon by at least 10. Dragapult was 61 though.) Generally had quite a few losses. Was challenging, but really fun once I got the team all together.

[@haileycarter122]

I really appreciate all the time it took to to make this video. I loved it. Thank you❤️

Plus a scorbunny that I use to wreak havoc on Abomasnows when I go to The Eye of Axew. Also I don’t suggest going to the Lake of Outrage for Dreepy as it’s very tedious.

Great video! Reminded me of when I played the original Pokémon Gold and beat the game with only Typhlosion

[@PixelPanda82]

I’ve got a challenge idea for you. Basically the idea is that you play Pokémon only using Surprise trade Pokémon. You catch a Pokémon in the game and then surprise trade it and thats one of your Pokémon. Also you can only catch one Pokémon form each area like in a Nuzlocke. This means you have to trade every Pokémon you obtain including starters and gift Pokémon. I think it’s a really fun idea and could go really well or terribly bad

[@ninjapanda0822]

7:27 the reason it worked the second time is because attack damage isn’t set in stone. There is a range of attack so let’s say it 20-27 damage. There is somewhat of a dice roll to decide how much damage you do. You must have gotten a low roll the first time and a high roll the second
