When you run low on money, you can take some of the Pokemon you'll never use from the PC, then stomp the lower leveled trainers you skipped.

Exactly! Leave most of the skippable trainers until you come across wild pokemon that are tougher than them.

There is also an unlimited, but very slow source of moneys: he can use pokemon with thief, steal items from wild pokemon and sell them. For example, Gulpin at route 110 can hold a big pearl with 5% chance, which can be sold for 3750$

If I battled my son and he spammed sand-attack, hyper potions, and poison-stall strats I would disown him.

[@Oceane1803]

You know that you can't use items during fights against real people, right ? So he wouldn't use Hyper Potions. And the sand attack strategy wouldn't work because he would need 6 turns of not attacking where you would have a chance of taking down his Pokemon despite sand attacks. Plus, you could take a Pokemon like Skarmory with the Keen eye ability in order to prevent the accuracy loss. Also Skarmory is a Steel type so poison doesn't work on it.

I still think a pickup team would help out a lot. I know these were streamed so I'm watching the past right now, but like I said last video, you could definitely grind route 1 for some healing items and pokeballs with low level Ziggys to save on cash. I think you can catch them at higher levels later on too, so there is a possibility for nuggets and candy to sell. EDIT: Apparently another comment pointed out that Ant said in stream Pickup only works when fighting trainers. I'm pretty sure that's wrong, but maybe that's something built into the rom hack. I'm not 100% positive either way.

I recently found your channel and I'm obsessed! You're so entertaining! Keep up the good work!

[@r9k_YT]

There aren’t many options to choose from, but how would spamming a Mon with Destiny Bond go? You purposely go down to take out your opponent when you can’t regularly battle them, and you don’t level down.

[@chari9291]

That only works if his Pokémon outspeeds or is able to take a hit, so that it can use Destiny Bond in the first place. Def possible, but certainly not enough to cheese through the challenge. Im also not sure if there are any wild pokémon that have this move available without leveling up

[@bane2201]

@@chari9291 you can catch Wobbuffet in the Safari Zone, and they learn it at Level 1. They also have a base HP of 190 - if there's any Pokemon that could take a hit at a low level, Wobbuffet would be it.

[@chari9291]

@@bane2201 Ohhh i see, yeah that could work! Its still not an OP strategy bc he has to win the battle without destiny bond or else it counts as loss when your pokemon faints in the same round. And Sydney at the Elite 4 could def one shot lower level Wobbuffet, but your idea could def make parts of the challenge easier

[@bane2201]

@@chari9291 yeah, you can catch Wobbuffet at level 27, and that's definitely not gonna be much help in the Elite 4. I think there are some berries that can increase Speed EVs, maybe he could grow those to help, or use a Quick Claw. Alternatively he could use a stat buffing setup and Helping Hand into the Wobbuffet. But that assumes he could find a Pokemon that could survive against the Elite 4 long enough to buff Speed for 5-6 turns and then switch out. It'd be great if the Focus Sash was in Emerald (prevents being OHKO'd). Unfortunately it was introduced in Gen 4.

[@chari9291]

@@bane2201 Im not sure if Wobbuffett's base speed is enough to be able to outspeed even with full EVs tbh (and Ant usually never bothers with EV training anyway) and quick claw is very unreliable. Even if Focus Sash was in gen 3, he would only get 1, so it would only work once in battle. And im not sure if there is a pokemon with batton pass around (that also learns the right stat buffing moves) to be able to carry the stat changes if he switches wobbuffet in after buffing up. And even if, it seems like too much of an effort to go through all that trouble just to get one wobbuffet to use destiny bond (and switching out would mean the other pokemon loses levels as it didnt faint and gains exp, so it will also be less bulky and may not be able to set the next wobbuffet up)

[@SomeGuy712x]

(12:05) Actually, accuracy and evasion changes work with slightly different numbers than with changes to other stats. One accuracy drop reduces it to 3/4 (not 2/3), and a second accuracy drop reduces it to 3/5, or 60% (not 50%). It would take a third accuracy drop to make it 3/6 (50%). That's cool how you leveled down into evolutions to get Gyarados and Tentacruel. Also, those Magneton catches were awesome too.
