HOW EASILY CAN YOU GET EVERY POKEATHLON MEDAL IN POKEMON HEARTGOLD/SOULSILVER?

Throughout all the newest additions added to Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver, the Pokeathlon Dome was probably the most unique. There are a bunch of medals that you can obtain, but how easily can you do it with the worst team in the game? Today we're going to find out how easily you can collect every Pokeathlon Medal in Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

There's something amusing about a group of fish being forced to compete in a relay race against land creatures.

[@AmyraCarter]

Or, vice versa...

Sports > Beauty in Feebas's case

[@ZoruaHunter]

If you judge a fish by its ability to climb trees...

And *winning.*

[@splinky9226]

Team Aqua Grunt: This speaks to me on a personal level.

[@GalacticNovie]

Remember that guy in the Dome who said he wanted to see a team of Magikarp win all of the events in the Pokeathalon? I actually went out, caught 3 Magikarp, and made them into Medalist Pokemon because I was hoping he'd give me a reward if I did so. He didn't :( His dialogue did change, though.

[@brianli6562]

For the block break event, if you hit the cracks on the blocks accurately, you will do double the damage and if you do it consistently, it will boost your pokemon's motivation and make him stronger. For the Lamp jump, you have to drag from below the pokemon and no ON the pokemon. For ring drop, you pretty much had it. For the football minigame, camping is a good strat but it takes an insane amount of luck to do it with feebas. Well played for getting so many .

[@MrGhosta5]

nah man i just send a fast pokemon with decent power to rush the ball into the goal. i usually get over 10 but have gotten 15 goals in a game.

[@brianli6562]

@@MrGhosta5 yeah with power and speed and some skill, it is easier to rush it. However I was talking about the challenge, where he doesn't have those. My record I believe was 23 when I got all golden balls and had 1 pokemon being an iron wall that I managed to counter every single ball coming back to their side and scored.

[@meredithsutton1485]

The Pokeathlon is one of my favorite features ever introduced in Pokemon. I've spent countless hours trying to get as many pokemon with all the medals and breaking all the records. I love seeing a youtuber giving this feature some attention!

[@aa-lc6hs]

I'm sure others have pointed this out already, but the reason Feebas's Jump Stat cannot be reduced any lower than 2 Stars is due to the fact that such a reduction would make it impossible in-game for Feebas to jump at all. In fact, the only 2 Pokemon capable of possessing a Jump Stat of 1 Star are Diglett and Dugtrio, which would make winning in the Jump Pokeathlon events even more challenging than Feebas. Also, if you see this, and in case you get the urge to try for a better score in the Block Smash event, tapping on the X-shaped cracks in the blocks will allow your Pokemon to instantly break the block, plus additional blocks dependent on its Power Stat. I doubt it'd make for too much of a better score, since most of your time gets eaten up by switches if you don't clear the whole stack and then switch, but it's definitely possible to get a passable score even with Feebas... Not that I would know from experience, as I've not tried to do so, lol

[@joshbaker7633]

Hey John, have you ever considered doing a let's play channel? Id love to see a series of you completing Pokemon games with challenges like your usual videos. But I understand if that would get in the way of your schedule. Keep up the good work!

I admire your bravery of doing this with only Feebas but you´re just scratching the Pokeathlon´s surface, every room has its own trophy, Crown or awards that can be earned depending on many things, you´ll have to use 200 different species, participate in the Pokeathlon more tan 100 times, win every event at least 50 times, that´s the real challenge. It took me months to do it but i´m sure you could do it in much less, if you decide to take THAT challenge, i would be gladly impressed, Good luck.

Nice! Coming this far with this Team is insane! Really nice job! Well done, Sir! I managed to 100% the Pokéathlon once in my SoulSilver back in the Days because I was going for those sweet Black Trainerpass and 100%ed the Game. And to be honest... it took me almost 3 months of playing Daily to get this Sh*t done. (3 months for only the 100% Pokéathlon that is. 100% of SoulSilver took me about a year and a half. With the Battle Tower took most of the Time. even more then completing the National-Dex.) I really hope you're going to make a 5 Star Trainerpass Video for HG/SS soon, and go to talk to Nurse Joy after you got your Black Pass.

I was horrible at all of these except the Speed and Stamina Challenges, so I just did those over and over and over to gain enough points to buy an evolutionary stone (usually took about 6 or 7 replays). I then found out, after spending literally hours grinding for both a Water Stone and a Shiny Stone, that I couldn't even *get* a Shiny Stone until after I had gotten the National Pokédex, so I was forced to use a Togetic against Bruno (because I had a Vaporeon instead of an Espeon). Its moveset was Yawn, Sweet Kiss, Ancient Power, and Fly, so it wasn't really very good against anything (base 40 Attack and Speed).

The reason you can't decrease jump to 1 star is because 1-star jump rating is Diglett/Dugtrio exclusive to reflect the fact they're incapable of jumping.

Yeah, usually, the A.I. in the Pokeathlon is quite easy to beat, but, for some weird reason, the A.I. in Block Smash is hyper HYPER competent, and it's so weird! Why is the A.I. just so much more competent in Block Smash than the other events? I remember that, when I played Block Smash back in the day and with good Pokemon such as Arceus and Giratina, I couldn't break many blocks when the A.I. broke almost 100.
