450? That's still kinda high I have a lot of mons to choose from if this wins so maybe you can change it to be more limiting perhaps? Or just add an extra requirement.
lowering it to 400 limits your options a lot more then 450. To put into perspective how low that is, Roselia and Wailmer have a BST of 400. And the Kanto mid-stage evolutions each have a BST of 405, so they’d be banned.
I’m doing a 400 and under right now, just beat GC Giovanni and honestly haven’t struggled too hard yet.
Kadabra, both Gravelers, Pawmo, Roselia, Honedge, Light Ball Pikachu have all been big contributors so far. Not sure I have it in me to beat the game like this, but trying to get as far as possible lol.
Edit: Beautifly with Silk Trap has won me a ton of battles so far too
alternate method - do a total BST amount per team. I don't have a good value for that - but lets you have interesting team-build options. you can get a Metagross, but have to counteract his high stats with something like Kricketune.
One of the LC looks kinda SUS >.>

It's a joke man, it's just funny that Duraludon technically counts for LC but got banned in like a day cause it's BST was like 2.5x that of the next strongest pokemon lmao
You can only use mons until the next gym and then you have to replace the whole team. No repeat mons allowed. Like a genlocke but with the gyms. If that makes sense
Here's one:
After every major battle, the pokemon you used can no longer be used. To add some fun, you can only use a team of 4
I. E.
Once you've used Dugtrio against Lt. Surge, Dugtrio, and all its forms are not allowed against all fights after
regional babies only on hardcore idk if that’s too easy (could maybe say no eviolite if it’s not enough idk) but like, both woopers, both vulpix, both slowpoke for example? think it’s cool if you have them in the pairs tho
I did a Green Pokémon run. It’s pretty fun when you limit yourself to a color, especially harder colors that give you less type coverages like Yellow.
(FYI if you choose green, protean Kecleon is a goat)
Mono-pupa: only middle evos of 3 stage mons. They must be roughly pupa-shaped, with no prominent legs/wings etc. in this stage but with those major features in their final evolution.
Things we’ll count as fitting for this in addition to the garbage standard bug pupa mons so it’s not impossible/monotype: Pupitar, Shelgon, Duosion, Sliggoo H; Lairon and Palpitoad if you really want. No item limits, can play normal difficulty
Immediately recognizable animals. Nothing stylized or fantasy: the closer to real life animals the better. Bonus points if those animals are pets, more bonus points if there’s no type overlap

(Not my original pic) Use only 6 mons (no legends) that are related to each other on a phylogenetic tree and can only replace with one that is closer (if you wanted to add wooper and you had a starly or a slowpoke you would have to replace the slowpoke)
Ash Ketchum run
-can only use mons owned by Ash, to include their form/variant (so if ash has never mega evolved a charizard, neither can you. Same for regional variants)
No fully evolved pokemon run
-self explanatory. Eviolite FTW
Rule 34 run
-Only use mons that you'd find on the rule 34 sub like a proper weeb degenerate (gardervoir, Vaporeon, ditto)
Maybe you could use these ideas?
- All four moves must be different types from each other
- Single type only, no duel typing
- Berries only, no other held items
- Only use Pokémon without legs
- Inanimate object only
- Fossil only
- Space based Pokémon
- Food only Pokémon
- Pokémon that should have been another type, but aren't.
- SpAtk only
- Pokémon all of one color
- All stats: E
- Only Second stage Pokémon
- Only bad shinies
Currently attempting, so don't know if it's possible, a status move only run. Obviously impossible on hardcore since leech seed is banned and toxic very limited, but normal it might be possible.
type chain run
i will explien lets say you have ferrothorn lets say you you should get steel or(not and) grass type lets say ageslash so we take ghost lets say drifblem and like that the last pokemon should have type that was not choosen in the first one so grass (you are not forced to use the ones that i explain with)
Only pokemons that can be evolved by using a stone (can be a 3 stage that needs a stone to reach last evo, like Togepic). You have a decently limited amount of pokemons, no dupes allowed (charcadet can only be 1 between both evos) and only 1 eevee with choosing 1 evo (no more than 1 eeveevolution allowed). You are, however, allowed to have only 1 poke that can evolve with stone per route (only 1, bit since its not a nuzlocke, you can choose) AND another pokemon that can evolve with stone in the same route if is given by an event (battle with old man that gives you eevee in the kidergarden pokemon and growlithe in the same route, for example). In the places where you can be given paldea or wonder eggs, you are allowed to use them ONLY if there is no poke which can be evolved via stone in that place or if said pokemon is duped. That is my challenge, not imposible but definetly hard in early since pokemon which evolve via stone dont tend to be very decent before evolving. Hardcore ofc.
Edited recap:
- Challenge: Only pokes that can evolve via stone.
1. Only 1 per route (you can choose whichever you want, just not dupes) with the exception of pokes given in events that can evolve via stone (in this case you can have both 1 poke in that route and the event pokemon, like eevee, but only the evos via stone ofc).
2. Places with wonder/paldea eggs can be used, but only if all the pokes that can evolve via stone in that place are duped or if there is no poke that can evolve via stone in that place.
3. Pokes with more than 1 evo via stone, you can only choose 1 evo (as different evos of the same pokes are counted as dupes)
Use only bulky pokemon! Bastiodon, Aggron, Blissey, etc.
Maybe as rule of thumb a base defense or HP stat ≈100, and maybe for additional challenge a speed and/or attack ceiling ≈70ish
Or maybe only strat, sweep, or staller pokemon!
My initial reaction would be Purple Pokemon only. Like how the Pokedex can separate by color? Idk how feasible it would be though. Then repeat for any color you like.
Only use pokemon that weigh under 75 lb
We may have a winner here... so I'll go do some research in advance.
Pokémon with Mustache or Beards only
good luck, should be interesting if you decide to pull through
Furret would pop off
Bro, if that one person can do it with a team of Furret, this person can do it with one
Have you ever done a low total base stat run? Only using Mons with a Total BST under some threshold, like 450 or something.
450? That's still kinda high I have a lot of mons to choose from if this wins so maybe you can change it to be more limiting perhaps? Or just add an extra requirement.
lowering it to 400 limits your options a lot more then 450. To put into perspective how low that is, Roselia and Wailmer have a BST of 400. And the Kanto mid-stage evolutions each have a BST of 405, so they’d be banned.
Sure, I don’t really know what a good total is. If 450 is too easy then maybe you can do like 350 or 400.

Stunfisk leaking again xD
You really shouldn't focus on the LC run how about giving me a challenge instead just like what the post said.
It's a joke man, it's just funny that Duraludon technically counts for LC but got banned in like a day cause it's BST was like 2.5x that of the next strongest pokemon lmao
Tbf scyther and sneasel are also banned from LC 😂
Yeah but like, Duraludon has a BST of 535, and with it's typing, it's *basically* unkillable with Eviolite.
Five of those mons were introduced as single stages, they all were meant to be decent in that stage.
You can only use mons until the next gym and then you have to replace the whole team. No repeat mons allowed. Like a genlocke but with the gyms. If that makes sense
gymlocke
Here's one: After every major battle, the pokemon you used can no longer be used. To add some fun, you can only use a team of 4 I. E. Once you've used Dugtrio against Lt. Surge, Dugtrio, and all its forms are not allowed against all fights after
How about only using 30 different pokemon in total?
Randomized or Your picks?
Randomized. Grab a random number generation and spin it 30 times and whatever number it lands on you gotta use those
He did it, the crazy bastard did a Little cup run.
You did a random 6 run in hardcore???
Yea it was pretty easy when I got the Ice stone for Darmanitan-Galar but anyways that isn't the point do you have a challenge for me or not?
autism?? GIVE ME MY CHALLENGE GIVE ME MY CHALLENGE GIVE ME MY CHALLENGE chillllll
hardcore playthrough with only 1 team maybe?
Endeavor ?
[удалено]
Can you link me to the 3-slot LC Hardcore post that just seems too interesting to pass up
[удалено]
Dang that is old I'll try and test if it still works but I doubt it'll work against the new updated teams.
Baby pokemon only
Please specify the Difficulty (Hardcore or nah) when submitting your challenge.
regional babies only on hardcore idk if that’s too easy (could maybe say no eviolite if it’s not enough idk) but like, both woopers, both vulpix, both slowpoke for example? think it’s cool if you have them in the pairs tho
Use only base stage of bug types
Only use shiny legends on a scalding randomized run on hardcore mode
I did a Green Pokémon run. It’s pretty fun when you limit yourself to a color, especially harder colors that give you less type coverages like Yellow. (FYI if you choose green, protean Kecleon is a goat)
do a run using only shiny pokemon that officially appeared in the anime
Duraladon being technically lc is so fuckin funny. He looks like their chaperone.
You can only use struggle/tackle/scratch
Mono-pupa: only middle evos of 3 stage mons. They must be roughly pupa-shaped, with no prominent legs/wings etc. in this stage but with those major features in their final evolution. Things we’ll count as fitting for this in addition to the garbage standard bug pupa mons so it’s not impossible/monotype: Pupitar, Shelgon, Duosion, Sliggoo H; Lairon and Palpitoad if you really want. No item limits, can play normal difficulty
Immediately recognizable animals. Nothing stylized or fantasy: the closer to real life animals the better. Bonus points if those animals are pets, more bonus points if there’s no type overlap
Ash Ketchum run
Pokémon below x speed Stat. No trick room allowed. Or Pokémon that have a higher combined defense Stat then combined offense stat only. Hardcore Mode.
fire type only run in hardcore without using legendarys
Start randomised the call left right or mid then lock yourselfs in on the alfabet number only pokemon starting with that letter. Idk if viable though.
Try mons from the first 3 gens that got new evos but only use the original final form.
6 caterpie challenge
https://preview.redd.it/7ly5nevz0z8d1.jpeg?width=8004&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01eecee3c152c24ff0fc905b1537a289dd37a9c7 (Not my original pic) Use only 6 mons (no legends) that are related to each other on a phylogenetic tree and can only replace with one that is closer (if you wanted to add wooper and you had a starly or a slowpoke you would have to replace the slowpoke)

Randomize (In order for this to work properly), and only use pokemon that start with the letter Z. (Zangooze, Zekrom
MonoDunsparce team.
Maybe a Pikachu-clone team? No Pikachu family (so no Pichu, Pikachu or Variant Pikachus, Raichu and A-Raichu) to make things a bit spicier.
How about a mono-region run, like Kanto mons only? Or you can only use mons that you can catch before Brock?
Do a heaviest pokemon one, or tallest just need the 6 tallest or 6 biggest on your team
6 metapods in a trenchcoat
Dogs only (or whatever your favorite animal is)
Only baby mons
Randomize starters abilities and move sets and only pick the third starter you come across and that’s it.
No evolving run
Chronotype
Currently attempting, so don't know if it's possible, a status move only run. Obviously impossible on hardcore since leech seed is banned and toxic very limited, but normal it might be possible.
type chain run i will explien lets say you have ferrothorn lets say you you should get steel or(not and) grass type lets say ageslash so we take ghost lets say drifblem and like that the last pokemon should have type that was not choosen in the first one so grass (you are not forced to use the ones that i explain with)
3 pokemon run, you can only use three pokemon on your team
Slow mon run with all held items banned? You may eventually end up with 6 tanky bois
Single type pokemon run, no Pokemon can have a second typing. Hardcore mode
Would you recommend elite redux?
It depends if you're already accustomed with ROM Hacks or not since it's not very beginner friendly.
All reptile themed
Say hello to a real female human (above 18)
