Most ridiculous one I've finished was the lowest individual stat run. Take Attack -> Speed in order, and add the Pokemon with the lowest base stat. Ignore Wishiwashi and legendaries. It gives you: - Shedinja - Shuckle - Blissey - Mega Beedrill (Alola Sandslash is the alternative if you don't want megas) - Sharpedo - Pyukumuku Set mode. No items. I also did it originally by starting Nincada as my starter and only using the Pokemon I could pick up.

Corey sucked and it took a lot of figuring to get it. Shoutouts to S_G for telling me I need to make sure Weezing blows the field.

I hope it makes it more interesting and challenging for you!

Florinia took a few tries, but eventually went down to Snorunt Moody RNG hax.

Fern 2 was taken down first try, although it came down to a speed tie.

Oh yeah. True suffering. I finally beat Julia after what feels like a ton of bad luck. Here's the strategy for those wanting to suffer in the future: For Julia: 1. Lead with Moody Snorunt w/ Elemental Seed 2. Double Team and hope Plusle does little damage with Volt Tackle 3. Double Team again hope Oricorio misses 4. Double Team to +6 and hope Moody helps you out. My winning game I had a +6 Atk and +6 Evasion with a -3 Speed with others thrown in that didn't matter much 5. Icy Wind / Bite / Ice Shard depending on the type match and what Moody gave you 6. Magnemite is your worst enemy here since Magnet Bomb ignores accuracy. You need to kill Magnemite in one or two hits and just tank the Magnet Bombs./ 7. Electrode might say fuck you and hit through Evasion and kill Snorunt 8. If Snorunt survives, just continue on 9. If Snorunt dies, send out your Seel Team and do Fake Out + Ice Shard until Electrode's gone GG. You just spent 4 hours waiting for RNG to be on your side. Note: I also EV trained Snorunt in HP. Idk if that's necessary but I was tired of taking so much damage to Volt Tackle first turn -_-

Hmm, those are fair points. When I've done runs with similar premises, I didn't allow myself to use an Azumarill with Huge Power because it turned it from a very meh mon to a pretty decent mon. It went against the spirit of the challenge. I can understand not wanting to implement the rule without hard and fast reasons behind every ban, though.

One thing you might want to add to the rules are the BST of a Pokemon can never exceed 450. That stops you from being able to use buff moves and the like.

Great Shuckle set: Shuckle w/ Contrary Rest Infestation Power Split Shell Smash and his best friend Pyukumuku Pyukumuku w/ Unaware Toxic Soak Recover Harden

If you're looking for a challenge, do set mode and no items. That tends to be more challenging than most people are expecting.

Does this include mega forms BST? Which patreon sbumitted set made you groan the loudest and yet you still put it in?

Sorry, everyone! I have fixed this.

Cain and the orphanage were easy. I have a video for Cain that I'll link that shows why singles is so strong for this team, but the real point of the post is to say this: Shade is whooping my ass as bad as Shelly was, and I have Blissey this time around. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VGy96Lw0lf-bWmboD-Ujml5WGOotPNIT

Oh. You'd think I would have known that, considering I built the E18 Pokemon Locations Spreadsheet. Thanks for the info.

I can't reach the Underground Railnet yet. That's post Shade since we have to open the door where the kids get kidnapped, no? Good point about missing. I'm not sure why I was under the impression that missing does not cost PP.

Welp. Once I get Eviolite and breed another Chansey, she's going to be the hardest to hit tank. The biggest problem with that set up, actually, is Chansey/Blissey is at a real risk of being PP Stalled out depending on the Pokemon. Once I get Seismic Toss, it's not as much of an issue, but I can't PP Stall the opponent because they just miss every time and never use PP. In some fights, like Noel's Clefable, it becomes an actual problem to watch out for.

I'm actually not sure when you get the TM for Psych Up. In past runs with similar teams, I never ended up using Psych Up but it would be absolutely perfect to use on Shuckle, so I'll use it once I get the TM, for sure.

Holy shit Shelly was tough. Shuckle again coming in clutch. After action results: I needed to bring everyone to the Rare Candy hard limit for levels this time around, because Shelly just packs way too strong of a punch. I also bit the bullet and EV-trained the team. I spent a lot of early planning trying to weaken her Victreebell and Vivillion so I could set up against them, but it turned out the best strategy was to go offense before defense. The first half of the battle was planned. The moment after Wobuffet (I just swapped the icons. I like the way Wynaut looks. It's still Wobuffet) hit Mirror Coat, all bets were off. Everything after that was improvised, and I got super lucky with Destiny Bond taking out Scizor. This time, I have a video! https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ytzSll1ZoHD9h6fzenjK00bg6PzcOY95 Enjoy! I can now finally get a Blissey.

Team for Shelly. For the record, she's kicking my ass with just her first two mons. This is going to be rough.

Not specifically. I think only the Whismur line is not possible to get if you miss the Whismur and the Loudred. However, any Pokemon you do want has all of its secondary locations available which would include post-neoreborn.
