    All these snowy routes were in fact pretty hard, but manageable. Candice's gym was easy, not even the puzzle caused me any problems. Candice herself: Rollout OHKOd Snover, Abomasnow and Sneasel, Medicham detected, but EQ OHKOd. Currently at the beginning of this huge Galactic HQ. Geodude is level 74, same moveset as before.

    I have a question: Does it matter what level the pokemon is at when it's traded over?

    Edit:
    Game: Pokemon Pearl
    Pokemon: Aron
    Evolution: Is evolving

    I think you should trade eggs, but if you want to trade your Aron as an Aron and not as an egg, i think it should be under level 10.

    Seeing this thread is not dead, i continued on my Geodude run and cleared the Galactic HQ. Guess what is huge, time-consuming, annoying, full of inevitable double battles and comes next?

    I would like to participate!
    I'll be buying pokemon diamond sometime in the future.
    I'm going to use a budew, and I will evolve it.
    More to come! ^_^
    Click to expand...

    Uhm... Yeah, sorry, I haven't followed through my plan. O///O;
    However, I AM going to this time, but I will use a Duskull, which I will evolve.

    Again, my apologies; I kind of forgot about this.... lol

    Oh, and I will be using my Platinum instead. Trading all by *good* pokemon to my brother's game for safekeeping.

    I beat Cyrus on Mt. Coronet now, i even managed not to level up any of the HM Slaves. First i let all of them faint against a random wild Machoke or whatever it was, then all worked more or less well on my way to Spear Pillar, except for Geodude getting badly poisoning by a Golbat which made me having to sacrifice an Antidote.
    Arrived at Spear Pillar, the last grunts told me i should go away because i only have one Pokemon, so i had to use a Revive on my slave Geodude, but instantly killed it with an EQ to prevent it from getting Exp.
    Mars, Jupiter and Cyrus were all pretty easy, but most of Cyrus' Pokemon outspeeded Geodude, so it didn't have too many HP at the end.
    And now i've to fight Palkia, which can easily outspeed and OHKO Geodude with Water Pulse, but can take an EQ (barely, on my first try, i just sent out Starly after Geodude had fainted, which got revived by my rival after Mars/Jupiter, used Quick Attack, and it killed Palkia. But i decided not to save it since it would have ruined the fact that this is a one Pokemon run. I will try again to beat Palkia later on, if it uses Ancient Power twice without getting a boost on the first one, or one Ancient Power and one Dragon Claw, i should be able to beat it. Maybe Geodude (at ~60 HP) can even survive 2 Dragon Claws, but i'm not sure about that...

    Defeated Palkia after some more attempts, Geodude had 7 HP left after 2 Dragon Claws, whew... Luckily, no Golbat spawned on my way back.
    Volkner was quite easy, the only thing that caused me some trouble in his gym was a Bibarel, that could hit first because Geodude was paralyzed, used Water Pulse, confused Geodude and left it with maybe 30 HP, but I got lucky and Geodude could use Brick Break to defeat it. Now I'm somewhere on that water route between Sunnyshore and Victory Road, Geodude is level 81, same moveset as always.
    This isn't really the best place for Geodude, some of the higher Tentacruels can outspeed me, all I have seen being used by them up to now was Poison Jab, but I'm pretty sure they also have Water attacks. And I'm also pretty sure some of the trainers have a Gyarados, which is probably the Pokemon that causes me more trouble than anything else, because of Intimidate of course.

    Update: Ok, i managed to pass the water route without too much problems, but now, in Victory Road, i'm having huge problems with PP. All 5 steps, something spawns, and running is a waste of time, so i fight the stuff, but that means i don't get really far, at least not fast. I think i'll first grind to the high 80s (now 84), and then go through Victory Road with repels. Otherwise wild the Floatzels and maybe also the Medichams will screw me up.

    Hmm I might do this with a Platinum Rom, my thoughts would be

    Growlithe
    Flamer 4.0/ Will Evolve/ Platinum

    Oh, and it will be Flamer 4.0 because ever since Pokemon Red I have caught a Growlithe and called him Flamer.

    Youtube says yes, there are people with Ditto only runs there.
    IN FRLG someone got pretty far and already has 8 badges, but didn't defeat the Elite 4 yet. In DPPt the only Ditto only run I found ends after Roark.
    So, Apparently it isn't impossible to beat the game only using a Ditto, so you could try it.

    I'll be posting back in this thread after I beat my Platinum file.

    I'll restart and hopefully someone can trade either Charmander, Dragonite, or Absol to me cause those will be on one my choices for the solo-runner.
