Only Runs
I am fairly new to these forums, and I think we should get some people started on doing only runs.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, that is where you use only one pokemon (HM Slaves not included) throughout the whole game. If anyone is interested on joining, please respond. The rules are basically the same as the mono-type challenge. Remember, keep us updated!!! |
Huh...I've never really done that before, but I did use my Charizard for about... 2/3 of the battles in FR, xD
It seems virtually impossible, but I'm not one to talk..xD |
Im pretty sure if i did it i wouldnt get very far.
|
I've been doing a Pikachu only run in FireRed. Unfortunately, it's at about lv. 93, but it's still getting OHKOed by Blue's Rhydon.
|
I used to do that all the time, but when it came to hard battles like theelite four so I always lost
|
lol i did that for half my Firered game with Charizarad for a monotype challenge :P
|
I am just about to start a budew only run. I will keep you updated.
|
Well, I suppose with a lack of anything better to do, I'll do a Pachirisu only run. xD And not only that, I think I'll aim to get it done tonight. However, I'm cheating for all TMs. :o
(However, I'll be starting on Cycling Road, because I don't feel like erasing my file :P) So, current status: [email protected] Nature: Hasty Iron Tail U-Turn Thunderbolt Spark |
I tried to do a Ratatta only run through FR. Needless to say, I failed. Epicly. EPICLY.
(I got up to Giovanni, then I just quit) |
|
It's not that hard. I'll do it one day if I get another game because my Pearl is all I have and I'm not erasing that file. The best pokemon in D/P/Pt for it is Infernape/Electivire, due mainly to the fact they can be given movesets which pretty much hit everything for Super Effective hits. Especially a common competitive set for Electivire.
|
But I only played it for like, 4 hours. :/
(With the record being 5 :/) |
I would consider doing a Mono-run for Yellow or maybe for Platinum. It just strikes me as incredibly time-consuming, though.

Lol. wonder if anyone would want to use a magikarp for this.
8 DD certainly not me. "magikarp use splash!' |

Uhm interesting... I didn't know there was a term for it but yeah, I've done it , with my pearl using only Piplup, by the end of the E4 it was a level 74 Empoleon :p , the only help I recall using was the Palkia to take a hit in Cynthia's battle so I could revive Empoleon and strike again :D
My current sapphire file has a level 58 Swampert and I'm with Kyogre atm (SR-ing) where level 40-45 is a given hehe , Swampert has smacked down every gym by its own |
ive done that with just a Torterra on diamond :bandit:
|
I want to try that on my silver game with just a Sentret/Furret, but I don't think I'd be able to do it. xD Since there is one Ghost leader and all.
|
I've done a couple of "something" only runs..
- Mudkip Only Run: Emerald - Hoppip Only Run: Pearl And I'm working on a recorded Houndour only run of emerald.. Also, I'm going to be starting a Larvitar only run when I finish my D/P Monotype run. |
I did a ninjask-only run in Sapphire. I started with a nincada, though, and had to use defense curl and leech life to get past the first two gyms. X_X it took like 2 hours per gym. After he evolved it was AWESOME.
|
I will be using a Latias, but i will pokesav it if that is ok, then I might seek a challenge and do an only Toxicroak run >:D I will start making the Latias right now.... :) it will be holding a Soul Dew :)
and the reason im doing Latias instead of Latios, is bcauz Latias is kooler and better looking in shiny :) |
Um.... what level is that Latias going to be? It'd be unfair if it was level 40. Make it 10 or under so it's not unfair, and make its IVs bleh. Most starters have bleh IVs the first time around, unless you SR.
I'm currently doing an only run with my Alakazam. It started off as a Psychic Monotype, which it still is, but it's also an only run. I've had to use my chingling several times for double battles, but only then. I'm almost to Solaceon the town that Cynthia's grandma lives in and my Alakazam is lvl 46 and already has 161 Sp. Attack and 144 Speed (Modest nature + some early EV training FTW!) |
Nah, im switching for a Gorebyss, bleh IV's, no EVs, but no item, (I have a damp rock in my bag at the current file) :P and I might EV train it, but, doesnt it take to long with no pokerus or power itemz???
