Pokemon Platinum Game Mastery - Electric Oh would you look at that, more progress on that nearly a year after. Hopefully I can finish a couple more of those before I move on to other things again 😁 Overall it was a fun little run. In hindsight I should've gotten Jolteon for the faster E4...

I would personally consider that cheating. In similar vein what prevents you from hacking in other things that theoretically take a long time but are still possible like getting Heracross/Muchlax on your platinum team, maxing out happiness at any time or even stuff like getting your pokemon up...

Solo Challenge my beloved Username: Kostucha Partner Pokemon: Delibird Challenge: Single Game: Platinum This is probably a bad idea

Pokemon Platinum Game Mastery - Fire Despite the rough start of failing the first rival battle (hence Infernape's nickname), the playthrough was very smooth up until E4. Bertha gave me slight trouble, so I popped all the Rare Candies early (usually I save them until just before the champion's...

Oh look a bulk update because I'm too lazy to write them out as I complete the runs Pokemon Platinum Game Mastery - Normal and Ground Normal Finished that one a while ago, I don't remember much about the run aside from it being very fun Hall of Fame: Team: Ground Wrapped this one up...

It's really not that bad, especially if you can use the speed up function, I've done it many times in various scenarios. Also you don't have to do it more than once if you just keep on struggling as long as you keep a steady supply of potions (that's actually a decent strategy in some solo runs...

You can get past early game with Ralts, all you need to do is get rid of all your move PP (preferably on other wild pokemon before an upcoming battle) so you get down to struggle. It's a typeless move so you can use it to deal with dark types. You'll gain a lot of levels during the process so...

How about Diggersby, Serperior, Cofagrigus, Lanturn?

tbh I wasn't enjoying it as much in the end because of the restrictions making the run annoying rather than challenging (Mr. Mime having to waste a turn, Beedrill being nigh unusable for most of the run and Ledian being usable for like one turn per battle due to flying/steel restriction clash)...

So that never happened, I guess now is the best time to do that run Your name: Kostucha Your game of choice: Y Any optional rules: SET battle style The best Easter Pokémon: Bunnelby iirc

Finished up the Water monotype in Platinum that I started like half a year ago. It's the easiest type so it mostly went without issues, especially once Gyarados picked up Dragon Dance. Hall of Fame: Team: Gonna tackle Normal type next

Wind of Change - Final Update I'm finally done with this nightmare. This is the big story segment of W2 which means many miniboss and boss battles aka praying to RNGesus that my team doesn't get wiped every battle. Most of those battles required at least a few attempts and careful planning but...

The Landorus and Cresselia exclusion feels like you're still looking at VGC/smogon usage lists :P (please stop). Battle tree list + 600+ BST legends make a nice and proper list already with clear rules of what counts. Don't add/remove pokemon based on your personal bias. I feel like the second...

The difference is that Garchomp and other pseudo legendaries start off weak and take a lot of effort to train. Typically they reach full potential just before the league. Also they don't cover many types, you mostly get dragon, maybe flying, and a select few types for each gen. It's a complete...

Sorry, but using smogon tier lists to value whether a pokemon should be allowed for in-game challenges sounds like the dumbest idea ever, PvE =/= PvP. It really is best to just use the battle tree list, those mythicals are absolutely busted in-game. Like sure, Cosmog/Cosmoem are very weak and...
