Can You Beat Pokemon Violet if Trainers Only Have Level 100 Arceus?

This was by far the hardest challenge I've done yet. I've borrowed some rules from Smallant's level 100 video to make it more interesting so shoutouts to the goat ‪@Smallant‬

I like how this challenge is only made possible by the god-awful movesets each of these enemies have by default.

[@doohickeyhandy758]

Yes, very "God" Awful Movesets

It's so funny how every single gym is out of order. Except for psychic

[@cullenhutchison6528]

Secondary typings like Poison, Flying, Steel, and Grass and certain abilities like Levitate and Mold Breaker that are immune to or neutralize gimmicks would actually lead to the original Pokémon sometimes being more difficult to face than Arceus while at level 100.

[@theladypalecorn7750]

3:03 Naming the Squakabilly Tawnos and the Deerling Tyvar was the moment I realized you were naming them after MtG cards. As someone who’s going to FNM in about an hour, that was hype as hell to see

The Drifloon with aftermath being called Ugin is possibly the funniest nickname in this entire video.

[@shasan2393]

Wow very nice job. At first i thought, “what a ridiculous impossible concept”, especially considering your additional self imposed restrictions. But wow, your clever tactics and AI exploitation were actually impressive. Also, I wish you included a final display of your pokemon’s levels/movesets/stats so we could see how much they grew.

I hope nintendo doesn't get petty with this one.

[@anabunny0831]

most of the time people play modded nintendo games Nintendo is chill unless they say how to mod the game

[@Zora_TheSideCharacter]

Luckily Pokemon is a second party game, so Nintendo doesn't have much of a say when it comes to that. TPC (the pokemon company) isnt exactly great with fan stuff either but they usually take down fan games not mods.

[@Lordbowser666]

I didn't know that those 2 squacksbilly would be up their on the players house. That a nice detail

[@user-uv2cp1qd1j]

I always catch them because it learns aerial ace (bc hustle) before gym 1, so it solos first two gyms and most other battles inbetween.

[@diogenesenuts]

This is honestly an excellent argument for why level scaling isn’t necessarily the sauce needed for a good poket monsters game

[@patroka]

I almost think that them all being Arceus makes it easier, just because way fewer Pokémon will be immune to Toxic Spikes and Leech Seed because of abilities and dual typings, and the stat improvements aren’t usually that important. Either way, very fun challenge!

[@nickmosey1549]

Btw if the arc is a flying type it cant get hit with any spikes

[@Nixitur]

You go through the battles so quickly and cut so often that following your train of thought becomes really, really difficult. This is especially so when you cut away just before the opponent's moves, and I'm left to wonder how your Pokémon survived.

[@KingTheLuck]

this is a fair complaint I was worried about when making the video and I'm surprised this is the first comment I've seen addressing it honestly

[@firestar5810]

I see those Magic the Gathering themed names 😉

[@Gamesaucer]

I want to see a cut of this video where all the original pokemon names are removed from the commentary and it's just "Arceus" every time without any elaboration. Basically give it "Add butter" vibes.

[@RealNikTrustMe]

this is awesome but i can't help but wonder why you didn't use a Revival Blessing pokemon

[@KingTheLuck]

I definitely though about it but the only way I could use it reliably would be to use either a focus sash or quick claw, and I'm already using those items to guarantee kills so there's actually no real benefit

[@animalxing8697]

King i gotta be honest. IDGAF about Pokemon but your content is dank anyway

[@cestariviere]

Gee! 💫 I thought it will be impossible for the level 'cause, how you endure a hit that comes for a 120 Base (Spe)Atk? The strategies were the best (and all here of course ksksk) and, did anyone notice how Arceus look down on you in every battle? ksksk, it's giving «you're really using my a 1% of my power in this…?»

[@icyscream355]

why didn't you ever use focus sash on glimmet/glimora to get 2 layers of toxic spikes? and maybe even stealth rocks, regular spikes, or a poison off? is there a reason?

[@KingTheLuck]

Yeah it was better suited to other pokemon who couldn't guarantee themselves a use without it, the difference between the single and double layer of toxic spikes rarely ever made a significant difference to warrant it
