While I almost exclusively play hacks/QoL mods I feel like I shouldn't be excluded, so here's things.
Username: Zero-G Partner Pokemon: Walrein Game: Ultra Violet Progress: 0/8, freshly started Username: Zero-G Partner Pokemon: Grumpig Game: Emerald Progress: Complete. Username: Zero-G Partner Pokemon: Garchomp Game: Dark Rising 2 Progress: Complete (in brackets, since the partner here was a fakemon, so idk if it's even allowed) Username: Zero-G Partner Pokemon: Jesmon Game: Dark Rising Origins - Worlds Collide Progress: Complete ... I will never solo any Dark Rising game again. I haven't struggled that much with the E4 anywhere. Not even in Vega. |
I've been debating doing this for quite a while and whilst I have other unfinished challenges, this one in particular is really nagging me and I feel like I need to do it. I legit don't even know if it's possible but I'm assuming it is.

Partner Pokemon:Mightyena Challenge: Single Game(s): Omega Ruby Previous Progress: No |
First Update I started the game and stupidly picked Treeko as my started misremembering what move the tutorial Poochyena gets but decided to run with it. So I chaught the female Pooch with Thunder fang and named it Shenzi after the female heyna in The Lion King as I always name my males Ed. She was a bit rough to train at first not hitting level 7 till I beat every trainer on route 102 but I went through grinding to level 20 before taking on Roxanne just cause I felt like it but man dit it take a while. Long story short started, got the first gym badge and then got off for the night.
Mightyena(Shenzi) Level 20 Thunder Fang Howl Bite Sand Attack |
Didn't get much progress to day because of frustration with the second gym can't get passed that second trainer no matter what I do but anyway no changes to Shenzi except a few levels
Mightyena(Shenzi) Level 23 Bite Thunder Fang Sand Attack Howl |
Update: Finally defeated Misty at Cerulean Gym after clearing the Routes 24 and 25 to Bill.
Spoiler:

After a grinding and grinding and grinding I finally beat Brawley at level 33 then talked to steven. Then went and tracked down Stern beat some Magma Grunts and then Destroyed May before going and taking on Watson. Won and went to the Cave with May to save Cosmo then to Lavaridge beat Flannery. Grinded a bit before taking on Dad and used a tiny raccoon to surf and then saved a dragon boxed then at Fortree destroyed Winona. Story story story beat team Magma at their base and then Tate and Liza. story story story chaught Groudon and then took on Wallace lost the first time grinded just a bit and then won. Grinded on my way to the elite four and beat Wally after a few tries then made it to EverGrande and took my first stab at the E4 First three where easy but Drake caused a few Problems so I had to do it 3 times before even getting to Steven and then at least 5 move just to beat him so there we go endof this
Mightyena(Shenzi) Level 63 Crunch Shadow Ball Rock Smash Strength |
Solo Dratini Update: Dratini evolved while clearing S.S. Anne and I've also defeated Lt. Surge (I've caught a Paras to cut the tree besides the Gym).

Partner Pokemon: Azumarill Challenge: Single Game(s): Black 2 (2/8) Previous Progress: No Since previous progress means if I started this challenge in the old thread, no, I do not have prior progress. In a game sense, though, I did already do some of the challenge prior to signing up. I have already completed 2 gyms out of 8 in the Black 2 run, but wanted to see how those initial battles go before I make my run "official". If this run ends up successful I intend to try the same Pokemon solo on the Blaze Black 2 hack. Currently I am going through Castelia City, knocking out a bunch of side stuff before I continue with the story. I did end up using the marking cheat codes on an Azurill I caught early on, only because the initial grind to get EVs would have doubled the amount of time I would spend on this game, not to mention the challenge would be quite a bit harder with bad IVs. However, the Azumarill I have is legal since all I did was change its Nature, max out its IVs and its HP and Attack EVs (I grinded on Purrloins to get the last 6 points into Speed), and its Happiness to get it evolved right away since non-STAB Bubble does puny damage in this game. I kept everything else it started with. The intention of the cheat codes was to drastically reduce the time I would have spent at the start of the game. EDIT: I have finished the challenge, and while the Pokemon League itself actually didn't end up as tough as I thought it would, it did still challenge me as to how to defeat each of the opponent's Pokemon. I have a picture in spoilers of both proof of my completion as well as what I considered the top 3 hardest parts of this run. Spoiler:
|
Solo Dratini Update: Even without any grinding I didn't expect a slow-growing Pokémon such as Dragonair to reach that level (though I've been helped by the Rare Candies). Easily cleared the Rocket Hideout and the Celadon Gym thanks to the TM for Ice Beam. It should evolve around the Silph Co. arc.

I'm interested! I love the idea of a solo challenge. It reminds me of the companionship of Pikachu and Ash as they set off into the world together.
Someday my Ultimate Goal is to solo with every starter pokemon in every game and give them all a retirement in the new Pokemon Home!

Haven't been active here for a while now xD Decided to start with a surprisingly easy solo run - Clefairy solo run on Yellow, this mon learns a ton of tms so it's really easy, you can easily sweep past everything besides Brock xD
Click here for video since yt video doesn't work |
I'm trying a pretty dumb challenge for myself after watching a youtuber complete said challenge. I've done a couple of solo runs in the past but today I have started what is going to be the most insane thing I've done. I want to beat each Pokemon League with only a single Rattata. I plan to go through all regions other than the one from Sword and Shield seeing as I do not have a Switch. Will this run be impossible? Perhaps. Will I try anyway this summer? Absolutely.
I've already managed to defeat Misty with my trusty rodent and so I'm gonna go ahead and sign up here to keep track of my wins. Username: johnnythe3rd Partner Pokemon: Rattata Challenge: Ultimate Game(s): Blue (8/8) Crystal (8/16) Omega Ruby (0/8) Platinum (0/8) Black (0/8) Y (1/8) Ultra Moon (1/8) Previous Progress: Nope Current Progress: Wish me luck!

So as I complete the Johto side of my Rattata solo run I've come to the realization that I have no solid way to get a regular rattata egg into Pokemon Y, Omega Ruby, nor Ultra Moon. So what I'm doing as a side project is to reach that goal with a secondary solo challenge. This one just a single run through Omega Ruby with the Treeko line. I'm gonna catch a ton of pokemon throughout it but only Treeko-Grovyle-Sceptile will be used in combat. My goal is to complete this game so that wild Rattata will appear in Hoenn so I can catch a couple and breed them, transfer three eggs into Pokemon bank (as well as all the extra pokemon I catch) and then restart Omega Ruby as well as Ultra Moon and start Y with a Rattata egg.
Here is my sign up for my Omega Ruby Run: Username: johnnythe3rd Partner Pokemon: Treeko -> Sceptile Challenge: Single Game: Omega Ruby Previous Progress: No Completed in 16:47 I beat Roxanne, Brawly, and Wattson with one attempt. Flannery took seven tries, I had to give up leveling Grovyle to 43 to get Fury Cutter coz Sceptile's Sp. Defense was the only way to beat that Flamin' Tortoise. Not ten minutes later I beat Norman in one attempt. Winona also only took one attempt. Liza+Tate and Wallace only took one attempt as well. Sceptile Level 67 HP 197 Attack 157 Defense 119 Sp. Attack 164 Sp. Defense 130 Speed 198 False Swipe Rock Tomb Giga Drain Leaf Blade |
Going to do a Latios only challenge in Emerald... Yes, EMERALD. I think I will need to be level 20 to defeat Youngster freaking Calvin....
Edit... Just beat May with 5 HP remaining... 2nd Edit... took 2:37 of in game time to get Latios to level 10... Yep 2 HOURS and 37 MINUTES... And I still have 10 levels until I get Dragonbreath the first move Latios can use to cause damage to Dark types like Poochyena. |
Any additional rules I'll try to follow are.
No revives. Potions and X items are allowed though since Latios will not be holding a Soul Dew. |

Partner Pokemon: Dewgong Challenge: Single Game(s): Fire Red (gonna hack the Seel in as a starter) Previous Progress: No |
It's been years since I've been on here, but I got into doing solo runs again so I figured why not post here as well. According to my own files and lists I completed about 53 solo runs before I stopped/lost interest. I don't have any video footage of those though, so I'm not gonna count them. I just finished a run and I did one 2 years ago (I'm posting it cause I'm making it count in my own 'keeping-track-of' list, but let me know if you don't want to put it up). I'll use the sign-up block to get the info in here, but like I said both of these are completed.
Username: Hann Partner Pokemon: Cacturne Challenge: Single Game: Leaf Green Previous Progress: No (did this one 2 years ago) https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen3frlg/cacturne.png Saguaro the Lax Cacturne (M) @ Lv.89 Ability: Sand Veil Return Seismic Toss Needle Arm Faint Attack Don't remember much about it aside from the fact that I did it in one sitting one evening, probably just cause I felt like playing some Pokémon and I just happened to record it. Spoiler:
Username: Hann Partner Pokemon: Pyroar Challenge: Single Game: Y Previous Progress: No (just finished this one) http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/pyroar.gif Ozai the Hasty Pyroar (M) @ Lv.100 Ability: Unnerve Item: Leftovers Crunch Hyper Voice Solar Beam Flamethrower I was surprised by how much stuff I still remembered. I had a bit of an issue with Grant's gym, until I realised I could avoid the trainer with the Relicanth completely and I only needed a few more levels for Ozai to evolve. Once I got to Korrina my level was already high enough to avoid any further issues, the biggest 'problem' overall was maybe Lysandre's Gyarados but even that was taken care of in 2 hits or so. I thought Siebold would give me some trouble, but I went a little overzealous with the Lucky Egg and apparently having a level 100 Pyroar makes everything pretty easy, who knew... Anyway I did enjoy this one a lot. Spoiler:
Because I know myself I'm not gonna post any actual sign-ups or in-progress runs, just like the ones above I'll just post once when I complete a run. I figure that's better than having a ton of my in-progress runs up there and I change my mind like the weather, so who knows which one I'll finish next. |

Started the run and chose Mudkip as my start, so May had Treecko just for a bit extra challenge. I rushed through the beginning section beat May and got pokeballs so I could get my Wingull naming him Kull, no clue why just first thing I thought of. Trained him a bit before taking on my first trainer. I continued taking on every trainer I could ending up being level 16 before taking on Roxanne she was pretty easy since I got a crit on Nosepass. I helped out Devon and got the letter for Steven and headed for Dewford. I destroyed the gym, Brawly was no challenge at all, before giving Steven his letter and heading for Slateport to help out Capitan Stern and saved my progress for the moment.
Kull the Wingull is Level 23 with Water Gun, Wing Attack, Steel Wing and Mist |

Partner Pokemon: Aerodactyl Challenge: Single Game(s): X Previous Progress: Yes As of today, Aerodactyl has solo'd Viola, Grant and Korrina. ...but not without some embarrassing losses to a Dwebble, a Lunatone, and a bunch of crits. Grant also took a while, had to do some grinding up to level 30. I also got screwed with the lack of a good defense boosting nature, so that's fun. ;_; I'm glad the rest of the region loses to Aerodactyl |
I've decided to resume my solo Dratini run... with an update!
Koga and its army of Jugglers have just been defeated by my Dragonair. Routes 12 to 15, Silph Co. and Saffron Gym are next. Spoiler:

Since actually playing games in the 3DS is ... slow and I'm not close to my gaming PC let's try something faster in the mean time. Here's an Ultimate-ish, since I'm not comitting to the potentially impossible challenges of the 3DS only games (and I don't have a Switch / can emulate it, so if Galar is needed it wouldn't be an Ultimate anyways)

I kinda forgot about signing-up and updating one solo run I did back in August. After I finish my Professor Oak Challenge in Fire Red, Mew was the only Kanto Pokémon I've never used in any challenge, so I decided to do a quick Mew solo run.
Username: Janp Partner Pokemon: Mew Challenge: Single Game(s): Fire Red And I finished it in about 2 days, since there was nothing that could stop Mew. Well, Brock did try, but in the end, the mythical powers were too much for him to handle. I experimented with few movesets and in the end settled with Psychic, Shadow Ball, Ice Beam (for Lance) and Calm Mind. E4 fights were all about setting it up and sweeping the floor with anything they could sent against me. Here's Hall of Fame: https://i.imgur.com/vtlO8Nu.png Also look at my good boy: https://i.imgur.com/NyjDgIr.png |
So I have a question. I have two runs that are completed, but I never signed up for. Is it possible to count those as completions for the sake of completion?

Yea, kind of figured. I was doing things like asking people on my discord for challenges, and they were telling me what to play. I guess I'll write it down and see what anyone says.

Beware of Steven's Cradilly and that female trainer at the bottom of mt chimney. I missed rock tomb.

On today's episode of "I love doing runs with mons that get no moves..."
Username: BlissyMKW Partner Pokemon: Dunsparce Challenge: Single Game(s): Gold Starting with only Rage as an offensive move was a double edged sword because if you got careless, you'd run out of PP, which did happen to me. Once I beat Falkner, Mud-Slap became an addition to the set for a while, but I had already planned on using Dig long term. Miltank almost ripped pour Dunsparce to shreds and I lost to the Elite Four once because Karen's Gengar used Curse, then Destiny Bond on my Dig and killed my Dunspace. With an X Speed, I could outspeed the Gengar, but I also ended up deleting Screech for Thief. I also had an encounter with a shiny Nidoran F...but because I was abusing the speedup button, I didn't realize it until after I ran from it and encountered a regular one. Overall, Dunsparce was, as expected, pretty awful. He struggled to kill certain things like during Blue and Red and the lack of moves means Glare + Headbutt was the best strategy I had, alongside some X Item use to make up for poor stats. https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/crystal/normal/dunsparce.png Segments (Dunsparce) Lv. 80 @ Leftovers Moves: Headbutt, Dig, Glare, Thief Magcargo might be the next one on the list. Another slow mon with poor stats, but unlike Dunsparce, gets completely owned by Misty and Ground types. EDIT: I did Magcargo. It wasn't fun, and I actually did have to rely on X Items and Sunny Day to get past Water types in the lategame. I also had to make use of Amnesia. It is pretty nice that Magcargo learns Flamethrower by level up, which did help quite a bit. https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/crystal/normal/magcargo.png Escargoon (Magcargo) Lv. 81 @ Quick Claw Moves: Sunny Day, Flamethrower, Rock Slide, Amnesia |
