Did anyone beat the E4 and Champ with just one Pokemon?
Hmm... That sounds like what I liked to do when I was little. I didn't really want to waste my time training a Pokemon party that were immune to many types, I just focused on leveling up one Pokemon that could beat Lance. That was my Meganium. It's actually pretty weak, but if you keep grinding till it reaches a certain level Lance could be crushed pretty easily, considering you had stocked up on like 20 Potions... ^^;
So did anyone of you beat the Elite Four with just one Pokemon? Let's get posting! |
Often enough. Especially after finishing the game I've beaten the E4 using one Pokemon while training another one. After a while it's no big deal, since gen 2 E4 are the weakest of them all.
If you mean beating them the first time in a playthrough: might have happened, can't remember since it's been a long time ago. Might have been a Feraligatr... |

I LIVED by this method when I was younger. Yellow was the first Pokémon game I played, but Gold was the first one I finished because the League was so much lower in level. I would normally have a Typhlosion around level 60 upon entering the League, and after that I would breeze through Kanto, and normally be able to sweep Red with just the one as well.
It's the easiest way to go in the older-generation games, and it's easier when you're younger, too :P |
Haha. Just look at my younger brother's storage Box in Leafgreen. He has a few Pidgeys, Rattatas and Caterpies and none of them are above level 10, and he's already halfway through the E4 with his Charizard at level 67.
This method works real well to beat the games, but if you play multiplayer with your friends it's easy to get beaten because your friends are bound to be around your level and if they have a well-balanced team, lights out. :p And even after I think about all the disadvantages, I STILL use that method. XD |
I can't say as I ever played through the game only to face the Elite Four with a single Pokemon, but there've been plenty of times where just two or three Pokemon were my workhorses, and the others were just filler.
I'm fairly certain I did beat both the Elite Four and Lance with just my Meganium once, but it was after I'd already beaten them a few times, and Meganium was roughly level 85. |
My Typhlosion was level 100 back in my run on Silver so yeah there was lots of carnage when fighting the E4.

Xulek. Wow. A level 100 typhlosion fighting the E4 would be awesome.. :p I could sit there and keep pressing the A button without even looking at the screen if I had one, but I don't... XD |
I've done it plenty of times, really the only thing stopping me is PP.
|
Yep, I beat the Elite 4 with just my Feraligatr.
Throughout the whole, he was my go to Pokemon. I barley used anyone else. So he was pretty powerful when the Elite 4 came around. |
I think I did it once using my Flareon which I evoled from the Eevee that Bill gives you in Goldenrod City.

I know this is for the wrong game, but I beat the elite four in red with just mew. Then went back and beat them with just mewtwo.
|
I've done this challenge in every game, and it was a tough one, for all three of these games, I've used my starter Feraligatr for everyone of these and all three of them were at level 100.
:t354:TG |
I've never tried but i think Lapras would be up for the job...
|
If you're talking about going through the E4 with just one Pokemon, then nope! Never done that past the first generation, since I've always been too lazy to train my Pokemon up to an appropriate level for it to take on the E4 alone, as well as giving them a diverse enough moveset for them to actually be able to take on the E4 alone. So yeah, no chance of that happening anytime soon ;p The only time I've ever done that was in the first generation, but I shared my Blue version with my brother who pretty much did all the work in training the Pokemon and teaching them the right moves, so not really much of an achievement :p
If you're talking about just taking the champion out with one Pokemon, then sure! Lance was one of the easier champions, with his Dragon mono-type team, so one Ice type Pokemon could do the job easily. And it did :) |
I'm pretty sure that I did back when I first played Pokemon. I only trained my Feraligatr so eventually I was able to sweep the whole Elite Four + Champion with just him. I haven't done it since that time because eventually I learned that it's a good idea to have a balanced team with you.
|
Hah, memories. I did this with both my Nidoking and my Mewtwo. My Nidoking sure does get around.

I've done it once with an Alakazam. I think I taught it the three elemental punches and Psychic which made most of the E4 easy except Karen of course. The only things that made her difficult were her Umbreon and Houndoom.
|
Nope, never in gen I or II. I'm not a fan of soloing things, honestly. :( I don't like having any less than 6 Pokemon. I like my teams full.
|
Ive done it with every starter in gen 1-3. I have also done it with a Pidgeot in both Red and Gold. I was considering trying with Geodude in Gold.
|
I've only managed to do it once, and that was with a Luxray in Platinum. Made it all the way through the game with just that and two HM slaves. However, it eventually got canned by Cynthia's Garchomp, and wasn't able to get around it till I got more cannon fodder. :P
|
Well I did it with an Electabuzz in Silver in a Solo challenge but I'm not sure if you'd count that. I didn't beat the Elite Four on G/S/C as a kid, I couldn't get through Ice Path or whatever you call the cave between Mahogany and Blackthorn which is quite embarrassing.
|
Yeee swept E4, Lance, and Red with Typhlosion, taught it TPunch, Toxic, Flamethrower, and EQ
|
I managed to get through the entire Johto Region/Pokémom League with just my Totodile/Croconaw/Feraligatr. It was both my powerhouse and HM slave. By the time I got to the League, I believe it was already close to 70. Haha.
|
I also swept E4, Lance, and Red with Feraligatr, taught it Surf, Ice Punch, Earthquake, and Bite.
|
Almost the same Moveset as myself. I gave it Surf, Ice Beam, Crunch, Strength. Of course, I had to have a few extras solely for Cut, Fly, Whirlpool and Waterfall.
|
I used a Lv74 Polywrath with Waterfall, Ice Punch, Submission, and Dynamicpunch and swept them.
|
I did in Crystal! With Shuckle as a kid, actually. :) I don't remember how I did it but I know it was a huge pain in the butt lmao.
|
Yeah. Most recently in Black 2 I trained up my Starmie to like level 70 and taught it Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Hydro Pump, and Surf. That knocked out not only the E4 but also Iris all by itself!
|
I only ever did this once... In Pokemon yellow... With Butterfree :D
|
Oh yeah I did do it a couple of weeks ago when I was playing crystal(with Feraligatr).I also beat the crap outta Red with the same Feraligatr.
|
I was able to defeat them using only my Feraligatr due to some intense level grinding and the fact that he was over 20 levels stronger.
|
Couple years ago, I did the Celebi Glitch to get Mewtwo (It's a good thing that Splash is the move needed), raised it to 100, and it ****s up everything that stands on its way.
|
Yes, my starting pokemon - that is just how I always have played pokemon.
|
I didn't know you were supposed to level up multiple Pokemon, so I defeated the E4+Lance in Crystal with just a level 64 Typhlosion (and my Lvl 24 Spinarak, in case Fire Dude (my Typhlosion) fainted, so I could Revive him.
|
I did a run through of Crystal once with only a shiny Scyther. Other than that one time though, I have more fun with a full party.
|
I once swept the E4 and the Champion with my level 69 Feraligatr.
|
When I was first into pokemon, I thought metronome was the best move of all time, so I made my togepi extremely overpowered without evolving it because, ew, wings. I pumped everything I had into it, it was poisoned? Holy sh*t get that pokemon a pecha berry asap! It was down by one hp? Use the hyper potion! Seriously, togepi is #3 on my top ten list of pokemon.
|
XD I was stupid as a kid so I trained Charizard to level 100 to challenge everything head on. I was stupid to have Fly, Blast Burn, Flamethrower and Ember I Blast Burned everything to death.
|
In my first run, I beat the Pokémon league only with my Typhlosion. I was required to use a lot of recovery items, though, such as full heal and super potion. xD During my second shot, I was able to defeat the Elite Four and champion with my Gengar. I still had five additional Pokémon on my team (who weren't fully-evolved), though, just so that I could withdraw my Gengar every now and then and give him a rest.
|
As a matter of fact, I did!
On Crystal, I used Typhlosian to stomp the Elite 4 and Champion easily. |
Did it with a Feraligatr once in Crystal and tried it with a Meganium but, to put it nicely, I didn't have decent moves.
|
I did it many times in Gen 1, and at least one time in Gen 2... in Gen 1, I did it with the 3 starters, and later with other pokemon that I trained, and got to high levels so the only relatively quick way to keep training them was the E4, like Dragonite, Rhydon, Gyarados, Magmar, Gengar, Alakazam, The legendarys, eeveelutions, lapras, fossils, and maybe some more... in Gen 2 I'm positive that I beat them with a Thyplosion at least once
|
I usually go though with just one Pokemon in my party, but I never managed to beat the E4 until I got a Dragonite.
|
I don't remember if I did it with just my Feraligatr or not. But I do remember only training my Feraligatr (and a Pidgey I suppose) the first time I played Silver. So when I went into the Elite Four I simply went it with Feraligatr and like.. back ups in case it fainted. Which I don't recall ever happening so in that case I would say I did in some shape.
|
I've beaten the Elite Four in GSC with only one Pokémon plenty of times. Before my Gold died, I soloed it with each member of my five-Pokémon team (so Totodile, Blastoise, Quagsire, Pikachu, and Noctowl--yes, my team was incredibly unbalanced). For each of them, I soloed the Elite Four without using any items (so no hyper potions, full heals, etc.). I have to admit, beating some of those Onixes with my Pikachu (which only knew Electric and Normal-type moves) was a pain, but the end result was satisfying. I may have soloed the Elite Four with some other Pokémon as well, but I can't quite remember.
In Red, I know I did it with Blastoise plenty of times (since that was the only Pokémon I bothered training the first time I played), and I think I later did it with other Pokémon as well. |
My first time playing Crystal I ended up sweeping them with a Suicune. I did it again at one point with my Typhlosion. Can't remember the levels though.
|
Back in the days of GSC era, I filled up my party for story mode.
After it Espeon's my main powerhouse, and arsenal -- the only Pokemon I used for battling E4. |
I beat the E4 on Silver version with just a Dragonite. I didn't wanna level up my team so I asked my friend to trade me his lv 70 Dragonite and I beat the E4 and Lance with that.
|
Did it in Red with a Level 70 Blastoise. In Gold it was even easier with Level 82 Feraligatr. The main attack was Surf, I kept spamming the A button until the enemy fainted. Good satisfactory results, along with switching the move off occasionally due to lack of PP. Oh, the good ol' times...
|
The Johto league was pretty easy but yes, I beat it with one Pokémon quite a few times! The Pokémon I remember beating it solo with were Typhlosion, Lanturn, Sandslash and Jolteon, and I'm pretty sure I did it countless more times on the HGSS version too (mostly for training purposes). It was the easiest league of all generations so I never had too much trouble taking it on solo.
|
In gen 2 I used my Feraligatr that was level 82 and in gen 3 (Emerald) I used Swampert :)
|
On my first playthroughs of most of the games I just used my starter for everything.
So yes, I have beaten the E4 with only Blastoise multiple times. |
First time I ever beat the E4 was actually with a somewhat overlevel Pidgeot.
Then with a Typhlosion and once with a Haunter (didn't have anyone around with a gameboy so no trade evolutions for me :(). Back then I ONLY ever leveled one Pokémon |
My first playthrough with Red I only used Charizard!
|
Quote:
I've practically solo'd the whole game with Blastoise numerous times. In S/G/E I basically solo'd it with Typhlosion. Although once I had Lugia he lead the way the rest of the game. |
Yes Oh I remember beating the Elite Four with a Feraligatr and the only other Pokemon on my team was the Red Gyarados which I never deposited because I didn't know you could... my Pokedex literally had 4 Pokemon Caught for the entire game...
|
if you count using like level 10 and such so i could revive my Typhlosion (i was doing a solo run challenge i'd already finished Silver) then yes i have
