Can you beat Pokémon Scarlet and Violet using ONLY CAT POKÉMON?

Can we beat Pokemon Scarlet and Violet challenge with a team of only Cat Pokemon?
This is a run where I build a team of 6 cats to take on the biggest trainers of generation 9. With added extra set rules such as no terrastallizing and no items in battle, is it possible to become the best cat trainer in the Paldea region?

not even half way in and I love this so much. Seen a handful of these challenges by you and storytelling is just- GAH! AMAZING.

[@Rypereon]

I put a lot of love into the video and stories! I'm always wanting to improve on the script work as well :D Thankyou so much for the love and support

[@Angel-nx6wy]

@@Rypereon As a reader your story telling isn't in your face yet it's pleasing to hear. And the way you go into detail of the fights is perfect - I was reading while listening to this and knew what was going on just by the descriptions of it! Also yes, cats can be walked. I actually walk mine a lot, it's really good for them! Just not cats being entirely outdoor cats..

In regards to the question about taking cats for walks, yes. I took one of my cats for a walk down the road to the dairy. Well, she decided she wanted to go for a walk with me. Until she freaked out and started crying the rest of the way there.

[@jmurray1110]

I used to accidentally take mine out As in she would follow me and get lost so we eventually hand to hide the fact we were leaving the street

OOH I'd love a bird run too! It would be a GREAT run with how AWESOME the boids are in Paldea.

[@jimbobfam.]

[@solgaleo3533]

They were talking about a bird run, but either would be cool, although a lot of water for fish lol, and while it would technically be viable, I doubt the lava goldfish is would be allowed lol

[@melit.]

Haven’t seen the dog play through yet but I’ll check it out this was fun. And just like so many others people confusing Grusha for a girl. Classic everyone was shocked when it was revealed he was guy, still hilarious every time. Oh and I agree with the other comments talking about a bird play through being cool.

Espeon is indeed a cat Its based on an old myth where a cats tail splits in 2 after living 100 years i think

[@solgaleo3533]

I was watching FlygonHG doing his version of cats and dogs, and did a vote for what the different Eevees each were

[@blade24liger]

I love cats,I’m subbing now.also your cats are so adorable!

[@Rypereon]

Thanks for subbing! 🥰

[@PeanutButterCashew]

This is the order he should do it in: What is the prey for dogs? Cats. What the prey for cats? Birds. Their prey? Fish. Their prey? Plants. And finally their prey is sunlight. For the final one you should do sun/ light or moon/dark Pokémon

[@tulipkitten]

Birds... Quaquaval, Kilowattrel, Flamigo, Squawkabilly, Oricorio, Pelipper, Talonflame, Staraptor. You have more choice but less typing variability. Might be a bit more of a challenge since it's practically a Flying monotype.

[@tulipkitten]

Fish... Lumineon, Gyarados (Does Gyarados even count?), Tatsugiri, Dondozo, Eelektross, Bruxish

[@tulipkitten]

Plants... You got fewer choices than you would think. Not all grass types are plants. But still plenty. Lurantis, Lilligant, Jumpluff, Sunflora, Tsareena, Arboliva, Flapple, Appletun, Brambleghast, Tropius, Scovillain, Cacturne, Abomasnow (Leafeon and Meowscarada were iffy IMO. Yes, they have plant aspects, but aren't plants, nor do they evolve from plants as a base form. Amoonguss, Breloom, and Toedscruel are fungi, so not plants. Sudowoodo is a fossil. Pineco looks like a pinecone, but it is a bagworm.)

[@testerwulf3357]

cats aren't the prey of dogs?? if you want prey for dogs you'd probably be looking for rabbits and mice..though hooved animals work too

[@jasonmadx]

I'm from Brazil, and love your videos ♥️

[@Rypereon]

Thankyou :)

[@jasonmadx]

@@Rypereon you're welcome, keep up the good videos! :)

[@ifemioj]

I might do a birds only challenge and show you via twitter or discord, a recommendation I have is only using pokémon based off farm animals (ducks, pigs, sheep, etc.)

[@solgaleo3533]

On one hand that’d give a lot of encounters, but on the other there’d likely be quite a few flying types. You would get to use a starter again, Quaxly this time

[@RageYTofficial]

This warmed my heart up I love cats

[@TheDeldiz]

Espurr. Espurr is a treasure to be protected at all costs. FIGHT ME.

[@androssuzhaminu8970]

My favourite cat is Pyroar Female cause they rocking that hairstyle.

[@slightlyuncomfortable]

You could have used Zangoose with its insane coverage. Its classification is the 'Cat Ferret' pokemon.

[@Beegirl12345]

It’s a mongoose

[@solgaleo3533]

Technically they could’ve used Arcanine too, it’s based partially on a lion, the same thing as Entei too, and if Entei can be called a dog, Arcanine can be called a cat

[@testerwulf3357]

@@solgaleo3533 Arcanine is a canine..sorry. It isn't a cat. It's origins are lion-dog statues yea, but it is 100% a dog pokemon (growlithe is even called the "puppy pokemon" and in lets go eevee/pikachu there's an npc that pretty much asks you "cat or dog" with arcanine being the dog option). Using Arcanine would of been pushing the line I don't think Entei is ever called a dog? Well maybe by fans..but it's highly inacturate as the legendary *beasts* are very much based on types of wild cats with a few creative liberties (so they weren't just cats).

Raikou is a dog

[@solgaleo3533]

Funny thing, technically Arcanine could’ve been included, since it’s partially based on a Chinese guardian lion, which Entei is also based on, so it could be considered a cat in the same way the beasts are sometimes referred to as dogs

[@testerwulf3357]

@@katherinespry2871 It's not? All of it's origins kinda tie around tigers which are not dogs. This trio is more so "beasts" than anything tbh

Do one where you can only use pseudo legendaries. It’ll be hard and long till you get a starter, but I think it’ll make an interesting video!

[@obnoxiosefe2180]

What about pkmn but you can only use reptiles (not includeing birds even though their technically reptile's although people don't consider them such)

[@solgaleo3533]

Maybe after the birds run, that way all 3 starters can get use. Paradoxes could also see use, I don’t think Slither Wing, Roaring Moon or Brute Bonnet would be usable for Scarlet since IIRC they’re only in the postgame, but if we count mechanized versions of Pokémon that would be eligible, Iron Jugulis and Iron Thorns are available in Violet, and Flutter Mane would be available in Scarlet, which is stated to specifically be the ghost of a dinosaur

[@whatgsaid]
