Can You Beat Pokémon Ultra Moon Without Catching Pokémon? 

Depending on the shiny, I can choose to use it for my playthroughs, especially if it's an early game shiny that's a pokemon I like. Would’ve boxed that sigilyph though, that was late in the game.

@Unown Unless I'm doing a Shiny Locke, (which I'm preparing to do on Alpha Sapphire) I allow myself to catch them, but not use them. In a Shiny Locke, I can obviously use them.

thats generally why the shiny clause is a thing.

Shiny chances are really high in wormholes

I remember one time playing Pokemon out of the box, can't remember which game it was, but I somehow got a shiny starter

also Mikey: let's igonge him

@@shirley2322 I love to “igonge” people

Thats sad

For those who don’t understand These are some of the pokemon that died in mikeys first nuzlocke

Ludacris the Infernape: You think that sucks? I survived until the very last Pokémon before the Elite Four. Beat that!

@@jacobchildress7921 Metal the Gliscor, who died during the Cynthia fight: Bruh.

@@jabarithegoldenlucario8841 JAIDEN ANIMATIONS WHO LITERALLY FAILED HER PLATNIUM RUN AND GOT A RE-TRY: Really guys? Really?

I was perfectly thinking: "Mikey, just cheat and catch the darn shiny, nobody is going to care."

@@Zenith-SMK yeah, I said, don't use it on your team, and it won't be cheating... I BARELY get shinies, so I felt a personal attack...

@@yummydragon8533 I agree, I have no non event shinies myself

It's a lot easier to get shinies via Ultra Warp Ride. The odds are much higher; it was not unexpected that the Sigilyph would be shiny.

@@cullenhutchison6528 ok and? Nobody really cares, a shiny is a shiny, just catch the darn thing

I killed him like this! Proceeds to shoot sniper in the chest

You think that's bad? Feraligatr doesn't learn any water type moves after Water Gun till level 63!!!

@Sofia Stumme-Hanson well, in pokemon platinum you can teach gyarados bounce in post game tutor moves, if Im remember correctly

What's so terrible about Salazzle's moveset? It learns a descent amount of Fire type moves, and although it doesn't learn many damage-dealing Poison moves, it learns Venoshock by level up which is arguably the only one it needs, plus it learns Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, and Poison Jab by TM. (Also that's just in Gen 7; in Gen 8 Salandit learns Poison Fang at level 15.) That's a lot better than Togedemaru not learning any Steel type moves except Gyro Ball by TM.

@@tronzero more than of it's moves are PHYSICAL moves, the only non STAB special attacking move it learns by leveling up is Dragon Pulse, and it ONLY learn Mud-Slap as an egg move, so yeah, either swap it's attack special attack stats or change most of it's movepool drastically.

And that Indominous continues to lost battle against opponent with favorable type matchups

And that Demon is planning its return

Confirm, I'm still working hard for that

@@LordRemiem How have been going your relationships with the other members of the team?

@@thewisthersgames awesome creatures, they're all great ❤

a fellow popplio enjoyer! popplio was and is still in my top 3 favorite starters for that reason. plus its just plain adorable.

I did the same thing

I hated litten. Because it stands on 2 legs 😂 i always pick Rowlet so hau had popplio. cause i found him best for hau.

@@thenoisybunnyPrimarina Is Literally The #1 Fairy Type !

They didn't give hate for the typing, they gave hate for design. Those are the sort of vapid, prissy folks who think Pokémon is a beauty pagent instead of a video game.

RIP Chompers

@@AznYunHou yes

He realizes it in the UN battle

Damn that masquerain

@araion hatokawa in my first playthrough of sun, it took me like 30 TRIES to kill that mimikyu. Luckily, my wonderful habit of overleveling my pokemon before big challenges.

I'm not done watching the video, but that Shieldon better be a true *Iron Wall* Edit: Well, that was upsetting.

I love he named it date tech

It took me way to long to realize where i had heard it from when I watched this before

Yeah, otherwise it would b almost impossible to beat it

@@eljordinio7647 i enjoy referring to myself in third person. this gives necrozma power

@@necrozma4029 don't really see how that helps necrozma

@@eljordinio7647 ...excuse you.

I'm grateful that all its moves are resisted by a pure Steel type. Smart Strike is a really dumb pick when it could have something like Brick Break or Heat Wave.

He probably didn’t have any poke balls

He could have just used toxic turn one and win that way

The sigilyph had a super high shiny rate

He could have caught it and did a wonder trade or sum

@@dungfungus56 god damn I got shiny altaria in that space but till that time I didnt know anything about shiny and stuff and I ran away from that battle

Also shiny sigilyph: yeah I’m just gonna take your spot in the intro for ASPITPIAY now.

If it's not a 100 percent accurate it's 50 percent accurate!

Ooh that explains how I lost my first time haha

In USUM, people have EV-trained pokés in general. A Masquerain wouldn't be that fucking brutal to fight if it wasn't obviously EV-trained.

I feel like if you find a shiny in any of these challenges then you can catch it but just can't use it

@@rashanmcrae9166 agreed

@@rashanmcrae9166 I agree somewhat. I say all these challenges be they randomizer or nuzlocke or no catching and so on have the exception rule for Shinies that they can be caught and used but with a sort of Asterisk acknowledgement.

@@morrigankasa570 well they can be used like for hm's for a solo Pokemon runs or it fits the requirements for an basic or hardcore nuzlock such as an all flying type run perfect for the sigilyph he found or some how found a shiny in the poke pelago

I mean those shinies are much more common but still it is sad

Right same here

U mean EVs

4) Archeops and Defeatist are garbage most of the time Edit: 4*

@@mizuenayuri I was just about to say that lol

5) you can have bad luck with shinies

That same Eevee was the one to defeat Ultra Necrozma as a Jolteon in my Ultra Sun after everyone died. Jupithunder the Jolteon dodged the Photon Geyser and crit with Shadow Ball, OHKOing Necrozma. I mean, I did got some damage from my Golisopod's First Impression and Decidueye's Sucker Punch, which brought Necrozma's health to exactly half, but then the others didn't have any priority moves and Necrozma had a super effective move for 4 members of my team except Decidueye, who already died from a Photon Geyser and Jolteon and I didn't want to use revives and potions, i just thought i would go back, grind and come back but nope, Jupithunder wanted to take revenge right then and i appreciate him for that, i actually cried.

unfortunate that it didnt happen :(

LOL yeah

Castform is not a pokemon that can appear in Poke Pelago

@@evanromanek6146 that's why he said if

@@phantom_box Still good to know though

I enjoy

Omg I got the same exact ad

Yes!!!!!!

*IT'S THE STRONGEST POKÉMON IN GUZMAN'S TEAM*

Guzma was right, *never* underestimate the Bug Type

I really hate that stupid Masquerain, why the hell does it have Intimidate, it makes no sense

@@virtualcolt If you see a bug in your room, you might be intimidated by it. Especially if it was as big as Masquirain

Are u a pokken master

No way XD

@@Gr4ceful4life yeah

Kinda late, but Fabio's nature was Calm not Timid.

Yes I agree 👏

Also, I feel like the power increase of all the newer pokemon makes it worse and worse

Crazily lol 😂

*Cradily

I regret choosing the claw fossil now

Crazily is my favorite pokemom man

I has one in my emerald playthrough and that thing was un killable

SmallAnt did that. “Can I Beat Pokémon Using Only Items?”

You can wrong warp past the champion battle in Red/Blue/Green, so yes, you can beat Pokémon without Pokémon.

@@cullenhutchison6528 well i guess thats true

X and y is almost 8 years old

@@sid2269 *softly* dont

pokemon is 25 years old

Same here

I first time I beat it I used a hippowdon and a carracosta. Hippowdon had sand stream and Carracosta had Sturdy. I just kept reviving them because I had 100 revival herbs on me. It died from the sandstorm and aqua jet eventually.

i killed mine with a level 88 umbreon using dark pulse and got a crit

Before I played through Sun and finished it. It took like 69 hours bruh

@@susantadhikari6573 That's your mom.

To be fair, Archeops also caused him other really bad loses or near losses so... 😂

@@TIGOfficialYT Wouldn't have done so if he knew how to use Archeops.

@@lyncario5515 That's true too, but tbf Archeops sort of sucked to begin with.

@@TIGOfficialYT Being honest, the Alola games don't favor Archeops. Totem pokemons from the point he's usable all have a speed boost making so that ouspeeding them isn't a reliable strategy most of the time (the only exception is Togedemaru, who instead resist Archeops's stabs, and has a +2 defense boost). And since Archeops isn't bulky, totems easily put him in defeatist. Then for trainer bosses, the pokemons they have are often very bulky or incredibly speedy since in gen 7, the bosses all have teams with perfect ivs and are ev trained from at least the begining of the 3rd island (which is also part of why gen 7 is very hard to nuzlocke). Archeops's gameplan is to one-shot things left and rights with acrobatics before u-turning, so of course the one generation where they make every bosses way stronger than usual is it's worse region, which also applies to most pokemons.

Me too!

Same here!

it looks good on paper but there's so many strong Pokemon in USUM that its mediocre defenses, bad HP and mid speed just makes it so unworthy of using

Sun and moon alone were a pain in the ass to do.

@Noah Cafaro it was a hassle for me and I've been playing since red and blue. It's like hey let's put pokemon that are annoying to battle against in the game

@@marinegator1833 yeah man those totem battles were really tough!

Except for the millions of cutscenes in the early game these games were great and deserve more support

@@uraveragepokemonshipper1855 i think they reduced them in USUM so i was fine with that

The potions saved him

And then Popplio gets Icy Wind a little later on.

worst case scenario

My first shiny, a misdreavus, had a modest nature

Don't get me started every good pokemon I catch just has a terrible nature. I don't know why but I was cursed with terrible natures.

Hence why I love that you can just outright buy mints and silver bottle caps and all that jazz in S/V. See a poké you like? Cool, catch it, and the only thing you have to look out for a bit is EV-training, which again is very alleviated by 252 being the max and the power items.

That's your mom.

Who ya pick?

Lol

I Hate Grunty boi, so anoying. It's Nice that you know when an ad is happening. But you also have the 10! 10!!! Midrol ads plus the sponsor! It seem like a scam. But ill give the benefit of the doubt and say that hé needs to pay his editors a lot. And maybe for the merchandise hé needs to buy? I guess? And maybe his video got claimed. But still if hé got better advertising of his merch and better quality and quantity hé could be making more dough than the dough in Ben n Jerry's.

That fucking Masquerain is complete bullshit. It feels like it has choice scarf, choice specs, wide glasses so its air slash never misses, assault vest and king's rock at the same time since it outsped even plus speed natured pokés of mine, did a stupid amount of damage, was bulky as all hell and flinched like 9/10 times. It definitely has EVs and great IVs, cuz it's like the one pokémon I struggled hard against (well... aside from Lusamine's Milotic and the totem Araquanid when doing a mono-fire type run but that was very expected). But a fucking *Masquerain???*

It did get base stat increases to Special Attack and Speed in this generation, just to add. +20 on both.

Wait did he?

U were first

🎉

Dude he uploaded like a week ago so idk what you're talking about

@@ani3168 ik right

I'm sure Hau's team has been EV trained there, because some of my "faster" Pokémon were being outsped even with good Speed IVs.

You called it, don't do that anymore
