Can you Beat Pokemon Sword with JUST ONE Ditto?

Ditto is pretty weird…. ⁉️ Who is your favorite WEIRD/UNUSUAL Pokémon? 🎥 Check this vid out next -> Can you beat the HARDEST Pokémon Game if all trainers are LVL 100? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKS6l5WIhNNkl68

[@JustSomeGuyExisting]

Perhaps he didn’t get the type matchups memorized

[@Stromry]

I think he wants to retire

[@iantaakalla8180]

When Leon is stressed about being a celebrity and so he subtly throws while looking like he is trying hard.

[@TTMv4]

he must of not listened to hop going on and on about type matchups

[@waterunderthebridge7950]

I’d like to imagine that at the end Leon was just so tired of beating you again and again that he intentionally used the moves that best fit your strategy so he can finally retire

[@iantaakalla8180]

Leon really wanted to be an activist promoting clean energy that does not rely on Eternatus, didn’t he? I mean, ignoring Chairman Rose’s pleas did lead him to raise Eternatus, but still.

[@Acs2004]

At level 100 your ditto has 300 HP, and by the calculations, that's the highest a ditto can have. Your ditto had 31 HP IV. If IVs were random then you had some good luck.

[@thatotherdan9984]

If I was doing the run I'd just hack in a ditto with 31s in all IVs and max the useful EVs to give myself the best advantage. Seemed like he had some hacked items so it's no a stretch

[@darkphoenixgaming8253]

Bruh, you can look up ditto and it'll tell you that, no calculations needed! (Just for the future to make it easier on you)

This is probably the first time I've seen Hop be the biggest challenge, the funniest part being that he's only so tough to beat BECAUSE he's such a bad trainer 🤣

[@Superluigi881]

Hop is such a pitiful rival. And he wonders why he keeps losing.

[@joeyteter9383]

Just the thought of everything you had to do and go through to complete this challenge gives me the chills. I’m stressed out just thinking about it lol 😂

[@squkyshoes]

I've watched quite a few of Pokemon challenge runs, and I think this is the most impressive one I've seen so far.

[@axelreboot8475]

Just a FYI confusion was nerfed in gen 7 so it's only a 30% as opposed to the original 50% of the time so it's not as detrimental to your strategies as it once was hence why you luck out more frequently

[@CrimsonSpikeFlash]

holy shiet this fishing for RNG mustve been hell! i respect you not just struggling with ditto with no transform pps in those hard battles!

[@sallylee5038]

There’s a huge difference between having 2 dittos and having a ditto

[@mastermewtwo5503]

Two types of battles: 1) The opponent starts with a Pokemon with a type advantage against their other Pokemon. 2) The opponent starts with an awful Pokemon, severely hindering Ditto's ability upon transforming and usually relying on the opponent to do a rare chance of doing bad moves.

[@hassanmahmoud6495]

This was extremely entertaining. I would want to see this challenge as a nuzlocke, with the added rule that you can add a ditto to the team after each gym badge maybe?

I could feel your pain through the screen 😂Congrats on beating this game with this ruleset

[@ZoeytheLumeroctrainer]

Except technically he can't beat this game with the ruleset because the double battles make it so he had to have a second pokemon which means he can't beat the game with just one ditto.

[@rookiebr]

Duncan got some nightmares after hop battles

[@ZeroNobody0]

man i cant believe you actually did this this is incredible. Not sure if youve seen it or know him but Jrose did a ditto only challenge on emerald and there was this glitch.... or something where if you level up in mid match the level up stats of ditto override the copy stats so in certain matches he was using a copied mon with his actual ditto stats. I just wanted to know if this happened for you in this run. Amazing video cant leave a comment without saying that man

[@thevioletbee5879]

@@talete7712 I mean I guess without in-battle items. But the Pikasprey runs showed that struggle is a really valuable asset.

[@UnlimitedRun]

@@thevioletbee5879 But that's only applicable to the first three generations. Going into the fourth gen, struggle was nerfed into the floor, going from dealing recoil based on the *opponent,* to now dealing recoil based on *you,* meaning levelling up doesn't make the recoil easier to handle. Thanks, Leftovers Wobbufett... Though at least the move can no longer miss (except against the usual suspects of dig and co. of course) while it could before.

This run being so terribly hard, hilariously enough, proves that this game was laughably easy if played as intended. Most of the major battles consist of poor ai and terrible movesets.

I liked pokemon content looking forward to the next video i thought your videos are about pokemon memes cos your thumbnail is funny, new subscriber from Indonesia.😂

[@fabrizioart1928]

Would a Ditto without Imposter have been an easier run because of the possibility of deliberately using Struggle with Ditto's actual stats?

[@Mocklate]

Nope. Post gen 4 struggle means any battle with 4 pokemon or more is impossible. And you can't ohko wooloo with a struggle crit to transform into pokemon 2 either.

[@Zeldrake]

Oh my gosh! I saw Pikasprey's series of a Ditto long ago, but that was in an old gen when Struggle did 1/2 the damage _dealt,_ not a quarter of your HP (meaning you could slowly whittle down strong targets). I thought this was impossible in newer generations, and Hop's awful, awful, lead Woolo doesn't help - but sometimes you get so lucky like having a move that hits both in the last gym! Also, 10/10 vid and editing, haven't enjoyed a Pokemon vid this much since MDB

I do wonder though... How come your chosen starter was Grookey? Shouldn't it have been one of the other two so Leon doesn't get a 2nd Fire type against your transformed Aegislash (Leon will take the starter strong against yours, to be used fully evolved in his battle)? Or is the team different depending on the starters?
