Can You Beat Pokémon Emerald with ONLY Mudkip? 

**Doesn’t use Thundershock** Mudkip:You will die braver than most.

Elite four: We have you four to one. Buff Mudkip: I like those odds.

I feel like pokemon evolving is like their DNA unraveling and rearranging into new DNA, so I'm gonna guess the DNA being shoved back together hurts a pretty good amount

Just completed this challenge. The 4th gym was a goddamn nightmare. Was unable to beat that damn manectric until lvl 48. Made other gyms much easier. The elite 4 were also a bitch. Had to lvl to 98 to beat the elite 4 and then Wallace. Almost did it at lvl 88 but Wallace and that damn hyperbeam. Victory never tasted so sweet.

Trainer: "Surely Mudkip can't beat the Elite 4 on it's own." Mudkip: **Stares in copious amounts of drugs.** "MUD. KIP."

This is clickbait, it says beating emerald with a mudkip, but he beat it with a pikachu

The image of mudkip stuffed full of discs just made me think of whitesnake

"Druged up fish with legs" That's the funniest thing I've heard

Wait, I thought that’s how your supposed to play Emerald.

Mudkip: trying to evolve Alpharad: S A T U R A T I O N

I have to wonder if any other starters can beat the whole thing. Like Red & Blue with a Squirtle or something.

Noval Duke deserves a medal for the artwork in this, while the script and delivery is funny alone the visuals just nails the funny so hard

"You can accomplish everything if you have a drugged up fish with legs on your side" Holy shit alpha predicted Dracovish!

Alphard: Evolving? Mudkip: No Alphard: Steroids? Mudkip: *Y E S*

The animation is soooo good! It’s so smooth and I live for the expressions!

This is a inspiration to all those trainers who keep challenging the mc with one small bug Pokemon

The true reason “Pikachu” evolved was because he found the thunder stone in the bag when alpharad wasn’t looking.

“Wallace plays 20 questions with me” *this. this is my new favorite headcanon.*

I love this so much, i've also played through emerald countles times and it's not a super hard game but kinda challanging. Only using mudkip sounds like an impossibility since it is challanging to get though the game with a full team but the proof is right here, it is possible.

That teleport back to Ever Grande City for the Elite Four was such a big brain Move. Well played Alphy, well played.

This boi just killed a shiny... then wasted a master ball in a trainer fight... the trigger is strong with this one

I always question how gym leaders were able to win the league to run a gym, now I see

13:10 there is a slight error the milotic died but it didn’t gray out in Wallace’s team thing you had in the top right corner

Remember when people started unsubscribing and then subscribing back during the livestream? That was fun

Yeah, it’s been about a month. I think it’s time to watch again

Love your channel man saw u on pokemon challenges and thought u and jaden are the bomb

*Pikachu evolving* Alpharad: Hehe saturation

All the little animations in the video, instead of just gameplay/commentary, definitely made my day. Gud jerb, mang.

Honestly I love this video, please make more videos like this. I’ve watched this 8 times already. The return of Pikachu would be a great video.

1:10 is good boi yet sad boi art “Pokémon was about catching them all. Well, it was until recently.” I hate that you foreshadowed the WORST THING

>They really wanna walk you down memory lane by showing you all the pokemon you caught >Game shows castform BUSTED

I'm here because he said this was his favorite video.

This video is brilliant. I very much loved how you story told this challenge video!

Thank you for showing people me at 10% of my power

You..just..summarized a few streams 2 hours long each in 14 minutes...

Alpharad is offically joining the "Can you beat (Game) without (Mechanic)?" community.

1:11 that Wally scene was jokes 😂

12:07 I can’t believe Alpharad predicted Wiglett’s existence

More like can you beat emerald with only a fishbunjin

Now there is only one thing left to do... Beat Pokémon Yellow with only a Pikachu named Mudkip.

Looking back on this video brings back memories

PLEASE make more videos with this animation cut in style. It's incredible.

Can You Beat Pokémon Emerald with ONLY Mudkip? *Pikasprey would like to know your location*

Wild. That Mudkip really carried the whole team, bravo.

I'm in love with the chaotic animations interspersing the gameplay footage

I couldn't describe how many times I've watched this video.

*When you're so bad at Let's Go mechanics you just decide to not catch any Pokemon*

Nobody is talking about how you did that in 20 hours what the

alpharad: electric gym is a road block mudkip learns mudsport at level 24 alpharad: N O

"Mudkip single handedly became the champion of the game" Catsform: Am i a joke to you?

I remember witnessing the death of the shiny tentacool. Rip

Props to the animation by nova dude

I love how u make these illustrations that fit with ur progress..

I remember when he had a double nice with level 69 Muskie with 6.9k viewers

"Mudkip can't win by himself." Alpha: Yes, but with DRUGS, maybe he has a chance!

Those Mudkip art is amazing.

I first saw this video when Patterrz reacted to it, and that inspired me to try my own one-mon challenge. Within only a few days, I finished my "Can you beat Pokemon Soul Silver with only a Totodile?" challenge. Things I learned: 1. Totodile CANNOT learn Strength despite Croconaw and Feraligatr being able to learn it, and none of the gift Pokemon you get can learn it either, and you need Strength to pass through Ice Path and get to Blackthorn City. I was forced to catch a Swinub in Ice Path, nickname it Strength, and use it to get through that stupid boulder puzzle in ice path (which isn't even really a "puzzle" it's just "push these four rocks two squares to the left each so they fall down the hole that is *obviously* meant for them, then fall down any of the four boulder holes and go in a literal circle to get to the ladder to keep going.") Seriously, you shouldn't even need to bother with Strength at that point because they already have a way to stop you from going to Blackthorn City before you finish all the plot-related stuff in Goldenrod and Mahogany: at the east exit of Mahogany Town, an NPC stops you from leaving if you haven't defeated both Team Rocket and the Mahogany gym. 2. The "Totodile solo" challenge in Soul Silver is LAUGHABLY easy, especially if you're using a rom and can use the speed up function; I accidentally grinded (ground?) my Totodile up to level 14 before the first gym and basically breezed through the entire rest of the game. The only place I had any sort of trouble was with the Kimono Girls in Ecruteak City, which you're forced to fight before heading to the Elite Four; one of them had a Jolteon and fairly good AI so I just had to keep spamming Hyper Potions until the AI stopped using Thunderbolt and I could get a win. Either that or Soul Silver itself is a laughably easy game even if I hadn't accidentally overleveled my starter because when it comes to Totodile needing to learn HMs, it only need to learn Cut and Surf before you gain access to the Move Deleter, at which point you can delete Cut and give it Whirlpool, then after doing the Whirl Islands bit, delete Whirlpool and give it Waterfall, which is a pretty good move for Totodile to have and you'll end up with a Totodile that knows Surf, Waterfall, Ice Fang, and Crunch for the Elite Four and you can easily breeze through to being the Champion because none of the Elite Four in Soul Silver have Explosion, Self Destruct, Toxic, or any other annoying moves like that (or maybe they do and I just got lucky and they never used them xD) 3. I really like doing "beat Pokemon ____ with only a ____" challenges, but only if I can use a rom and speed up the game 2 or 3x for the first tutorial bit and up until the first gym because otherwise I fall asleep while my rival is explaining to me how to catch a Pokemon. xD

I love how that chat goes crazy when he’s adjusting the stream layout

Ngl this is hands down one of my top 5 alpharad vids now, seconded only by your hilarious cpu smash commentaries. I don’t want more, I NEED MORE

My favorite starter of all time is mudkip, i just finished emerald, but i'll still play the battle frontier lmao, i absolutely love this challenge, kudos man

This was the first video I watched from you, subscribed ever since :)

" Oh my god they're all dead". Mudkip watched from beside, proud of his accomplishment. Despite this, his thirst for blood was not fulfilled, and he would continue to take the lives of those who opposed him.

Mudkip? You mean *_Water Pikachu?_*

This is the first Alpharad vid I ever watched. It was enjoyable.

I love the animation and and pictures in this.

"We retrieved an old man's dog" >Shows Peeko

13:26 “Winners don’t do drugs. Unless they’re steroids. Then do lots of drugs!”

Dunking on Wally while using his ORAS theme in the background for Victory Road is such a power move lol

I love the animations because when i play pokemon i always animate in my head what my pokemon are doing and it makes it so badass to see it in a video

Castform: *Exists.* Alpha: I'm gonna pretend that I didn't see that.

12:07 Stand name: So I heard u liek Mudkipz Stand user: Alpharad

Honestly one of the greatest Pokémon videos I’ve ever seen.

This was my first alpharad video, this is what made me subscribe

You want a challenge. Pokémon Black or White with only a Purrloin.

The Elite Four: Mudkip: I’m Boutta end this whole mans career

this is a big comfort video for me

I love the animation, so gorgeous!

I mean if a Pachirisu can win VGC a Mudkip can beat the game.

“You can accomplish anything with a drugged up fish with legs by your side.” *Ever seen The Amazing World of Gumball?*

All of the art made me laugh but 1:11 takes the cake

Wow, props to nova1Duke, this video looks amazing and I love the style, really fits your content😊👍

“..picking up a much needed pp up along the way” Alpharad, 2019

This video has opened my eyes to the true power of mudkip.

Reject humanity, embrace mudkip

ash can't even win in league with 6 pokemon lmao

Everyone: "Oh Look, Mudkip is evolving!" Alpharad: *Runs over, kicking Mudkip* "NO! BAD! STOP THAT!"

We need more wholesome content like this 😍

Mudkip learns the HM ‘Rock Smash’ because of a Pokédex entry saying “it crushes boulders”

Wow. I absolutely adored this style of video. It constantly had me entertained and everything flowed so well it felt like nothing ever seemed out of place or repetitive. The animations were short, but very good and entertaining and it felt like they added a lot to the video. Your commentary also really livened things up, as the jokes didn't seem forced and you talked at a pace that was quick, but easy to understand. There was no point in the video where I felt lost or confused, and it was just overall an amazing video. I would really, really love to see more videos in this style, however I know that this type of content takes an immense amount of work, so I definitely don't expect them to come out constantly. tl;dr I love this style and you did incredible Alpha

I was at the stream and just... “Do X-items stack?” He asked at the elite 4 Edit: the subject of this comment wasn’t that alpha didn’t know how x-items work. The subject is that he didn’t bother to ask until so late into the game

Still one of my fav alpharad vid

As someone who exclusively used Mudkip as a starter in Pokémon Ruby, this concept is near and dear to my heart.

"no matter how large the obstacle may be,if you believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything if you have a drugged up fish with legs by your side" -Alpharad,July 2019

Do this again but in the 3DS remakes, lol Also I love the half-animated format here, definitely do this more often. Totes worth.

Even after all these years Emerald is such a solid game

I complete that challenge before watching your video and now I can just watch and like it.
