Serperior is the only grass type starter Pokemon that can beat a whole game by itself. I will have to fight Ghetsis, N, Reshiram, the Elite Four, and all of the Gym Leaders with only a single Serperior.

There should be an exception to the no additional mons rule. I mean you still can't use them but this is my emotional support lilipup she's a very important part of the run

13:20 Yeeeees, a Mah-Dry-Bread reference!! A person of culture you truly are, friend. This was a most-interesting run indeed! I love these one-mon challenges, albeit it truly is the first time I see someone not randomize their starter not catch a designated HM user... And now I want to replay Unova, thaaaanks :' ))

Yeah! This was actually partially inspired by Alpharad's run-through of Hoenn with just a Mudkip. He never evolved his starter and didn't use HM pokemon, and when I learned that my favorite pokemon could do the exact same thing, I couldn't resist trying it. But I ended up evolving my Snivy into a Serperior, partially because it's much harder to get up to level 100 in Black and White, and also partially because I'm not a full time KZbinr and not (that much) of a masochist.

You could have also gotten the Return TM in Nimbasa, good bit stronger then Strength at max happiness and gives you more move flexibility. I actually did this myself a while back but I was less strict about it, letting myself use a Ducklet and the monkey for HMs just out of convenience, so I know you're pain with those last few fights. I ended up using a Coil/Rest strat for Ghetsis since the Cofagrigus is only really a threat with Toxic so you can eventually get up to +6 and body the rest of the team. Anyways good stuff and respect from another Serperior stan!

Dammit, you're right! I missed it because it's technically listed as not having an attack power. I always forget about the move Return...

Great taste serperior is my favorite Pokémon I remember practically doing this at age 4 except I used panpour for chili and darumaka for burgh’s whirlipede and used seismitoad, darmanitan, scarfty and gigalith along with serperior for the elite four I did get serperior to level 100 but the save sadly got deleted it was my brother and sister who deleted my save because they were jealous I had a overleveled serperior.

Serperior really is superior in this playthrough

@explosivesguy Ай бұрын

When you said attempt and mentioned getting lucky twice in a row on that ghetsis fight I have to assume that took you a lot more tries lmao edit: also it's crazy how much worse serp is in this game since in the sequel you can slap aqua tail and outrage on it (though i think outrage was post game)

@thehayze259 Ай бұрын

Yeah, it took me like 8 attempts. Not crazy, but a while.

@dr0g_Oakblood Ай бұрын

For as much as it’s annoying to have to deal with HM nonsense, at least strength is situationally useful like here, where it literally just serves as an upgrade to cut for both “decent” coverage and gives some niche map exploration buffs.

@thehayze259 Ай бұрын

Yeah. Serperior's coverage is awful and Strength is decently powerful, so it's genuinely useful as a move. And getting bonus items every now and then is pretty nice, too.

@gabrieldevoogel6225 Ай бұрын

While Samurott is my favorite, Surperior is such a good Pokémon, I wish it had been the gen 6 grass started where it would’ve gotten a second type and beaten ahh

Samurott only is super easy just be careful with the first and second gyms

@soundrogue4472 Ай бұрын

I mean Serperior is one of the best Pokemon to use because of it's hidden ability and even without it's hidden ability it's one of if not the strongest grass type starter.

@thehayze259 Ай бұрын

I don't think so. I mean, I can't use its hidden ability in this run anyway, but besides that, its coverage is really bad and being a single type makes it a lot less versatile. Also, being a solo-grass type is particularly bad, compared to say, Venusaur, which has a much better type.

@soundrogue4472 Ай бұрын

@@thehayze259 I used it over 90% in my playthrough; did you not get the correct EVs? Like how the hell are you having so much trouble even without it's hidden ability?

@Frank_Erz Ай бұрын

Even if you had had a full party, the game still forces you to send a *different* Pokemon to PC. If you try to fill up your PC first, there's a hidden box that doesn't become available until you catch your game's dragon. Even if you edit your save to fill the hidden box(es? there might be more than one), I think the game will softlock. There is no way to not catch your dragon and send it into battle. I might be wrong about the soflock, it's been a few years since I saw somebody test it.

@Luna-rl5wu Ай бұрын

The game actually has a failsafe for that. You have to faint the dragon with all boxes full, it will sleep again and you can fight N as if you've captured it. Then, you can go to the top of Dragonspiral Tower in the post game to catch it.

@alans-dumb-username 5 күн бұрын

Also, if you have a full party, the game doesn't force you to replace a pokemon with Reshiram or Zekrom, it merely gives you the option to. It's only forced into your team if you have a free slot
