Can You Beat Pokémon Ultra Sun Using the Exact Team that Ash Used for Every Major Battle? 

I find it ironic how the most difficult game for these challenges is the only region that Ash has actually won.

Wow I did not expect the series where Ash actually wins a league to have this many losses. Seriously this was brutal. But considering all the 1v1s and 2v2s and Nanu and Hapu yeah this was kind of a wash. Anyways good try and I can't wait to see what you do for Sword.

ETU: (Enters Alola) Also ETU: Why do I hear boss music?

Despite all the headaches this challenge undoubtedly caused for you, I appreciate your effort to stay faithful to the anime. Thanks for your hard work and keep plenty of Tylenol on hand.

I never watched the anime in Alola so I’m glad you included the clip of litten being caught because the way he hits the button of the poke ball is adorable

I love that Necrozma, what's usually considered one of if not the hardest fight in-game, went down fairly easily and then the kahunas were what wiped you. Anime teams sure are something

That was a rather good way to get around the Melmetal issue, and a damn good attempt. But, man, just goes to show how odd Ash's combat style in the Anime is and how it cannot be copied in the games really.

When you're done with this series, can it be redone with the teams from the "what if ash woke up on time" series.

Just discovered this channel I am loving it

Him: “Olivia is just too strong to beat with just a Rowlet and a Rockruff. So, no, you can’t beat Pokémon Sun and Moon with Ash’s team. Me: *checks how long the video is* 😏

I wasn't expecting Metagross to take Melmetal's place. I was predicting Registeel since they look similar...but as far as stats go, yeah, Metagross makes much more sense.

Ayy glad to see this series back! I can only imagine how difficult these videos are to make, thank you so much for all the work you put in to entertain us

I've neither watched the Sun and Moon anime nor played the Ultra games, so this was already a unique viewing for me, and then further made unique with your inclusion of totem battles, legendary fights and such that happened in the anime. An boy, I expected this to be a tough one for you to go through but this went way beyond those expectations for how gruelling it seemed.

LET’S GO, IT’S ALOLA TIME

Pikachu didn't reset in SM, it take 100 Episodes for pikachu to lose a battle and it was against Mythical, he even beat a UBs Nihilego in less than half series.

25:35 How Ash wins 101 Even if it didn't go well battle-wise you really learned how to channel Ash.

I know that these can probably be incredibly taxing to create, but I want you to know these are wonderful, wonderful videos, I love watching them and I want you to know how good of a job you do with all these

It’s funny because I literally just watched these for the first time yesterday and was wondering if you were gonna do this one any time soon. Very nice!

8:34 So..... it tooks us up to Alola (Gen 7) AND 2° Kahuna to defeat Enter the Unown... (not counting Tucker from the Battle Frontier's Battle dome) Not bad. That's a very great winning record all things considered 10:54 is amazing hearing those words 16:18 The mythical Legendary Meltan That looks like a Beldum!! (akso technically you could teach Metagross THE "Meteor Mash" move being the closest to Melmetal's Double Iron Bash) 18:33 what about Naganadel? you can technically use it given the final battle of Alola, ash uses it 20:51 VENGUEANCE TIME!

Enter the Unown: *plays a Pokémon game* Pokémon game: *_why do I hear Ecruteak/Cianwood City music?_*

3:01 *HOLY SHIT WAS THAT A KING OF THE HILL REFERENCE??*

Yeah, I knew this one would be a disaster. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are surprisingly tricky in places, and even by his usual standards, Ash had to pull a LOT of tricks that just don't translate into the games. And let's be honest, Ultra Necrozma was only doable because you had to break the rule of using anime accurate moves to get Black Hole Eclipse. I have absolutely NO idea what you could be thinking of for Sword version, seeing as the only battles from it that Ash did were Bea (even if not as a proper Gym battle), Oleana, Rose, and Eternatus. All of those would be pretty easy to win, though, given some type advantages tipping the scales in your favor and Eternatus being almost impossible to lose against.

Ok besides the gameplay i still cant believe Ash's face in alola was so messed up and it still creeps me out even to this day . With that out of the way cool video though.

It sounds like the difficulty was more with the structure of the anime than the game. It seems Ash repeatedly used as little Pokemon as possible in the challenges he was given. It removes the ability for some Pokemon to pick up the slack.

Finally I have been waiting for this thank you 🙏

Thank you for pushing through until the battle with Professor Kukui!

Yes finally now we need to wait for pokemon journeys to start with the gyms

'All new Pokemon games are way too easy.'

When are you planning to do the 'Misty's Battle Frontier adventures' anime what if arc?

My first team was Incineroar, Zoroark, Noivern, Dusk Lycanroc, Necrozma, and Jolteon.

Dang, didn't expect it to be this difficult!

In Kalos, everyone was buffed from their game counterparts.... in Alola, everyone was nerfed from their game counterparts. HARD.

I loved your meltan, it was perfect

Melmetagross. 👍

You know when you factor all this in, HOW THE HELL DID ASH BECOME CHAMPION!!!?

that alolan form meltan looks dope how'd you get it ?

Top quality Melmetagross gameplay

for future reference, you can actually have all of ash’s moves and have his pokemon be your OT! so for example if you wanted pikachu with thunderbolt/quick attack/iron tail/electro ball, you can just breed two pikachus with those moves on your completed save, and the baby will inherit all four of those attacks. if you then trade it to your ash save file without hatching it, the hatched pokemon will have your OT and obey :)

I honestly have no idea how I beat Ultra Necrozma the first time I fought it. I was maybe 3 levels over and somehow got it on my first try. Went through a second time and got rekt even though I was 10 over and had a pretty decent team to fight Necrozma.

Ur channel growth is nuts I wish u the best

CHAD IS BACK.

Hapu was so hard for me it took days of luck and frustration, and by that I mean 2 hours of fighting, 10 minutes of crying, a lucky win, screaming, happiness

I think Pikachu's level is atmost 100, no doubt only the plot wanted it to lose against trip's snivy to make him seem like ash's rival and his snivy as his ace 😂😂

Him:u can't beat ultra sun with Ash's Pokemon Me:beats ultra sun with Ash's Pokemon

“ultra sun is really really difficult” are words i never thought i would hear 😭

Hapu: exists Ash: I'm about to end my whole career. (See it's funny because he actually doesn't)

I think it's fair to use shift battle mode if Ash fights a double battle in the anime while you're force to fight a single battle. It essentially emulates him tagging his 2 pokemon in and out on the battlefield

I with my fully evolved team struggled with this game, I can only imagine how much FJ struggled to record this lol

Nice it's back. Always a big thanks for your hard work on this series and channel

I have relished that you can get the Own tempo rockruff by breeding a dusk form. You can re challenge it and how it works to get the trade

This challenge is more difficult then I expected it to be.

I think that at a slightly higher level a Dusk Lycanroc holding a Sitrus Berry (recall that Dusk Lycanroc eats one during the battle) could probably take down Nanu. If you had asked around, you could probably have found someone who could have traded you an Own Tempo Rockruff--I myself bred a bunch of them after receiving one through the event back at the start of USUM.

4:19 pikachu is getting it real good from behind

That is one thing I liked about USUM, it was a bit more difficult than SM, but I hated the lazily added story so I stopped playing

This video challenge only further proves Ash should have won the league in XYZ

Love this series so much, thanks for the upload FJ!

pockets sand the most underrated weapon

I have never heard FJ so frustrated omg. I mean I solely watch challenges like these for the filling enjoyment of human pain, but FJ's pain physically hurts me. I guess his ability is Liquid Ooze.

RIP this amazing series. Is there an Orange islands fan game you could try the challenge in?

What I have learned from this is that Ash needs to evolve his damn pokemon

You got it right on 5:33 XD well done

Always great to see a new video from FJ and ETU!!! 😁

Haven’t watched the full video yet but I know it’s gonna be AMAZING

Best series, best games!

i would wait until journeys is done but is your chose if you want to do it now or later ;p

Yeah with the decline in quality of the later Pokemon anime it's hard to do something like this but it was good and I can't wait to see what's next

Big fan great videos

Just found the video while watching Thinknoodles play kitty

10:54 You need a FOCUS SASH!

It'll definitely be impossible to beat Sword and Shield. Seriously, why did they have to skip straight to Rose and Eternatus instead of remaining consistent and having Ash earn the gym badges

Next video: Can you beat Pokemon Sword/Shield with Ash's pokemon Journeys team. You can't use a starter cause he didn't catch a single one, which has broken a tradition.

Is an Own Tempo Rockruff really all that uncommon? I still have the one i got from the event way back when and his many many genetically superior children...

Can you update "what if Ash woke up on time ?" So I think ash should train with oak to fight the Hoenn elite 4 and like the battle frontier Ash wins against the entire elite 4 but stalemates Drake and Drake offers ash an elite 4 position but ash doesn't accept it Ash in Sinnoh catches Spiritomb (One shot by Blastoise as Dawn trades buizel with Misty in the battle frontier and test it to against Ash's turtwig),Heatran (without team rocket to have heatran almost thrown in the volcano the ranger can't properly tame it so ash weakens it by Blastoise and asks the ranger to tame it but out of honor the ranger asks ash to catch it ),Gabite, Staraptor,Torterra,Infernape, Gliscor, Ash wins the Lily valley conference as he uses Heatran,Chalazard,Sceptile, Primeape,Blastoise,Spiritomb against Tobias's darkrai, Latias,Zapdos,Moltres Articuno,Entei and wins

Love these, as long as the're not to mentally draining keep them coming

Was waiting for this, so happy rn

Love this series and your twitch nuzlocke is great 😊 thanks for putting them up after streaming, bit sad we lost relaxo though and to a carablast 🥲

Bro I love these series finally let’s go

after 5 months.... Cool cya next year

You can breed dusk lycanroc for a own tempo rockruff

Why does ash look younger than when he first started his journey as a Pokémon master!?

Hey F.J. had an awesome time in your stream. Hope you an amazing birthday. Can't wait to watch again soon

I would of wish you had beaten Tapu Koko with Naganadel and Pikachu.

Yes the king is bacl

I can't wait for Galar

me seeing you upload: hey babe the king dropped another video

Next it's pokemon journey,s time on galar

Got to watch out for that pocket sand!

It's a little funny to me that this is such a hard game to make it through. In my first playthrough I steamrolled it so hard it was a little boring

I hope the Gen 8 idea you mentioned is whether you can beat the game using Hop's exact team.

I've been waiting for this one!

9:48 it Flame Charge replaced Fury Swips ornScratch

Great vid bro I enjoyed it, thanks!

This the one I’ve been waiting for

Why is the battle animation off?

You could have asked someone for that rock ruff. I have one shiny hunters have dupes....

The king has returned.

When you said pocket sand i had some vasko flashbacks

You could always play fire ash. That's a game with all of Ash's travels up to alola to add for game play.

Yes it’s done

Wait I swear Ash had the Solgalium Z 👁️
