Alright, here is me doing through the early-midgame objective rush. Not the most interesting thing, but we gotta do it. --- THE CHALLENGE + RESTRICTIONS Goal: To clear the epilogue scenario of Pokémon Violet. Restrictions: -Minimum Bag Menus -Minimum Captures -No Food / Picnics -"Switch =...

Titans do, in fact! They only give experience and EV's once you take them out in the second phase (since in the first phase, they run once they drop to critical HP). I am not sure on Starmobiles, but it is reasonable to expect Legendary bosses to also give EV's since you also get experience once...

Well then, it took a while, but here I am... --- THE CHALLENGE + RESTRICTIONS Goal: To clear the epilogue scenario of Pokémon Violet. Restrictions: -Minimum Bag Menus -Minimum Captures -No Food / Picnics -"Switch = Set" --- Set forth to the land of Kitikami! I hinted at it earlier, but the...

I will be grabbing Ogerpon as early as I reasonably can, which will probably be around the 40s mark. Her toolkit makes her worth using for a lot of the late base-game content, on top of critically being an extra Pokémon we have access to in a run where we won't have a full party until the postgame.

This is less of an update and more of a brief status report. So the Epilogue just released and it requires the Mythical Pecha Berry (which is Mystery Gift only for some reason): As well as the completion of the Hidden Treasures arc and the Ace Academy Tournament up to a certain point. Since...

Well, I managed to go through the entirety of 2023 without making a single forum post... Let's break that non-posting streak by doing a self-imposed challenge run. It has been a while since my last challenge run thread, you can find both challenge runs I have chronicled in my forum signature if...

Thanks for taking over ceal. I do appreciate that someone is willing to take on this project again. Anyway, I do not have much to add or any sort of rigour, but I do feel like the following D-Rankers can probably be moved down to F-Rank without issue: Bronzor: Abundant Shrine is inaccessible...

What DHR-107 said here also applies to this thread. If anyone is even interested in tackling this behemoth...

In general, In-Game Tier lists do not consider non-trivial* RNG Manipulation tactics as while they are efficient from a speedrun context, they can also further distort from the premise of these tier lists to determine which Pokémon are your most efficient options when playing through the game...

Honestly, all this Chinchou / Ralts / etc talk speaks towards a more generalised question that could be considered for this thread: How much should a Pokémon's start-up cost factor towards its tiering? Technically, every Pokémon has a start-up cost, but there are some that are more notable...

Okay, this is going to be a pretty long post, so buckle up. First up, write-ups for our forgotten two. Name: Wailmer Availability: Wailmer can be found in Undella Bay shaking spots with a 30% chance (60% in Winter). Its evolution can be found in the same shaking spots with a 5% chance. Stats...

While I am at it, here's a couple of resources that I am going to put into the OP: Black 2 / White 2 TM / Tutor Availability TM21 Frustration (Floccesy Ranch, Plasma Grunt) --GYM 1-- TM83 Work Up (Gym 1 Prize) TM27 Return (Aspertia City, Bianca) TM46 Thief (Virbank Complex) TM94 Rock Smash...

I guess I'll make a post since no one else has much to say right now. Since I want to prioritise dealing with S-Ranks, I'll post each mon and ask a few questions for you all: Name: Braviary Availability: Braviary can be found on Route 4 as an interactive encounter on Mondays [White 2]. Stats...

The ingame tier lists are designed with casual playthroughs in mind (with no intentional glitches or RNG Manipulation) and assume the player is at the very least, competent at the game (in other words, the player knows what they are doing and can effectively make use of whatever tools they can)...

Did my run of Emerald. Post-Brawly, Pre-Rival 2, Pre-Wattson, Pre-Maxie Pre-Flannery, Pre-Norman, Pre-Rival 3, Pre-Winona Pre-Maxie 2, Pre-Liza + Tate, Pre-Maxie + Tabitha, Pre-Archie Pre-Juan, Pre-Wally, Pre-Sidney, Final Final Time: 10:09 IGT Swampert Lax, 167 / 132 / 117 / 92 / 94 / 84...

I personally don't mind doing Kanto, but I will say that you are not going to get anything useful out of testing Red. This is because in 99% of scenarios, you are going to be going to Red in early-mid 50's (as a reasonable assumption) and the most efficient strategy is going to come down to for...

Yet another person adding onto the pile of tests being conducted with Ralts here. Mudkip is Lax I haven't really done much with Mudkip in that not much else will probably be found (but I will see what I can find, my microscope is more on Ralts than anything), but I did find some new insights...

I disagree with this assessment. Tsareena has more good matchups than Olivia/Hapu. Maybe not natural as in "I win itemless," but they are still there: Guzma is a fight that it can solo despite the natural type disadvantage. This is because Queenly Majesty (gotten from Oblivious Steenee) reduces...
