[Challenge] The Solo Challenge

[Peq]

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!
For now lets start with this:

Username: Peq
Partner Pokemon: Squirtle
Challenge: Single
Game(s): Blue (0/8)
Previous Progress: No

I'll edit this as I go along!

Spoiler:

Here is where I'll put all my successful runs!

I'll probably regret this later when I'm trying to beat the Champion with an unevolved Normal type, but it's my favorite Pokémon for a reason! ❤️

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

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.

Current Progress:
Blue

Spoiler:

Completed in 14:42!

Brock took one attempt at level 14. Misty took three attempts at level 22 and 28. Surge took one attempt (sweep with no damage) at level 35. Erika took two attempts at level 46. Sabrina took one attempt at level 58. Koga took one attempt (sweep with no damage) at level 61. Blaine took one attempt (sweep with no damage) at level 65. Giovanni took one attempt (sweep with no damage) at level 67. I was able to defeat the elite four after a couple attempts at level 72, but my rival forced me to train to level 86 and even use PP Ups. I did not use any X-Battle items.​

Level 86
HP 198
Attack 152
Defense 130
Speed 178
Special 92

Thunderbolt
Dig
Blizzard
Skull Bash

Crystal

Spoiler:

Falkner took one attempt at level 13. Bugsy took one attempt at level 20. Whitney took one attempt at level 25. Morty took four attempts at level 34. Pryce took five attempts at level 43. Chuck took one attempt (sweep no damage) at level 46. Jasmine took around six attempts at level 48 because there is no reason for a purple rat to beat up a giant steel snake and I had to resort to lucky misses. Clair took five attempts at level 56 because I forgot that dragonairs are not flying type and so dig will hit them hard.​

Level 56
HP 124
Attack 102
Defense 70
Sp Attack 62
Sp Defense 73
Speed 113

Dig
Icy Wind
Rock Smash
Shadow Ball

Spoiler:

Viola took two attempts at level 13.​

I bred for this Rattata in Omega Ruby and put it in the Pokemon Bank in order to get him in this game as quickly as possible. The egg moves were accidental but appreciated.

Level 14
HP 34
Attack 24
Defense 17
Sp Attack 17
Sp Defense 16
Speed 26

Bite
Quick Attack
Last Resort
Reversal

Ultra Moon

Spoiler:

Totem Raticate took one attempt at level 17. After so many long and arduous attempts my Rattata beat Hala's Grand Trial at level 23 and no, Rattata would not stop disobeying me which is why we lost so many times. I was so proud on that last attempt when he stayed strong so that I wouldn't be sad. What a trooper!​

I got this Rattata by transferring her in through Pokemon Blue virtual console at level 3.

Level 23
HP 54
Attack 34
Defense 22
Sp Attack 18
Sp Defense 25
Speed 51
Ability: Hustle

​

Wish me luck! (I'll just update my progress on this post if that's alright.)

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

 

[yankeefan93]

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.

 

[yankeefan93]

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.

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)

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)

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.

First Update (Ruby - 2/8)

Athena the Ralts - Level 16
- Confusion
- Double Team
- Growl​

Spoiler:

I unloaded myself from a truck, set the clock in my room, withdrew my potion from the computer, and met my new neighbour May. I then heard the cries of a man and investigated finding the Proffessor attacked by a Poochyena, I search through his bag and grabbed my first ever pokémon, Slave the Mudkip. After defeating the Poochyena, I was ready to go meet May again. After defeating May and receiving a parting gift of shoes from my mum, I was ready to take on an adventure.

Firstly I headed straight to Route 102, where I would catch my new partner in crime Ralts. After over 50 random encounters I finally came upon who would be my new best friend, the Female Ralts whom I named Athena. After some quick grinding swapping from Athena to Slave, Athena reached level 6 and learnt Confusion and was now ready to be used as my main pokémon. I went and saw my father at his new job and was introduced to Wally who totally copied me and caught his own Ralts. After heading on I travelled through the forest and arrived at Rustboro City where I quickly healed up, bought some potion and went to challenge Roxxane for my first badge.

Her two grunts were of no issue, Athena quickly took them down and reached level 12, I healed again, ready to take on Roxanne but luck was not on my side. Her Geodude out sped my Athena and quickly one shot KO'd her with a Rock Slide critical attack. It was disheartening. I decided to not give up and headed north to Route 116 where I grinded on the trainers and wild pokémon to reach level 14. I headed back to town to challenge Roxanne again. This time I was fortunate and my strategy worked. I used Double Team till I was nearly unhittable, with Geodude only hitting me once. Then came her infamous Nosepass, I was an unhittable machine, using Growl neutralised the Nosepass even more and I quickly made work of him, using Confusion 7 times untouched.

I had earned my Stone Badge and had learnt the power of Double Team in defeating hard opponents.

I headed north and helped both the Devon Co employee and Mr Brinley in defeating the Team Magma grunt, this being the final time I would have to use Slave to battle. I then took a ride on Mr Brinleys yatcht and travelled to Dewford Town where my first stop was the local Gym.
This gym was quite easy, only using Confusion on all the trainers then using Double Team once and sweeping with Confusion against Brawly.
Here I received my Knuckle Badge and ended the first stretch of my adventure

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
