Can You Complete the Pokedex with REGULAR Pokeballs? 

Yo! We got a discord server now! You can hang out with me after hours, flex your shinies, your irl pokemon, and more : discord.gg/HKcXVzW3pk If you like shiny pokemon, check out the 100 Shiny Sandwiches video. There's a lot of them in there ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WJbyB3VXAyM.html

Larry really is a whole mood. Larry is the GOAT. The reveal of Larry as an Elite Four member was something, but him trolling us by using Flying-types instead as we get out our Fighting-types was genius. Not only does he have his job as a salaryman, he also has to work as both a Gym leader and an Elite Four member. He lives up to the title of "Exceptional Everyman". His lines are even better in the Japanese version. He said he uses Komala, a Pokémon that is always asleep, because that is "what all salarymen truly desires".

in my defence, the masterball perfectly matches miraidon

Oinkologne is meant to be pronounced like cologne. This references the fact male Oinkologne uses its flower-like tail to unleash a concentrated sweet scent to cover its body to attract female Pokémon, while female Oinkologne are surrounded by a floral scent that soothes nearby Pokémon, according to the Pokédex. Both of these have different abilities, Lingering Aroma for the males (exclusive to just male Oinkologne; changes the opponent's ability to Lingering Aroma when hit by a contact move) and Aroma Veil for the females (just like Lechonk and also an ability of Spritzee and Aromatisse; protects it and allies from moves that limit their move choices).

That note that shows up with all of the scratched out names at 23:48 is exactly what I do all the time, got nearly a full small notebook filled with that crap haha

You're about to be able to be a full-time youtuber, specifically a poketuber! Congratulations! You understood and mastered the craft before your first upload and made perfectly click able and high retention content which you knew would blow up immediately. Absolute mastery right here, great job bro.

Finally, another human who catches all their mons on regular Pokeballs! (at least for this video) It feels especially good to get your shiny legendaries in them.

I did this same challenge and have a full living dex of pokeball only catches. Now I'm working on the living shiny dex.

Definitely feeling the "don't use the master ball on a legendary" vibe! The power of stubbornness prevails! (unless of course it's a roaming legendary like in the gen 2 games, then yeah no, I'm using that damn master ball lol). I've kept ahold of mine for now, and I'm either going to hoard it like I tend to do, or I'll use it on a particularly aesthetic shiny.

Did not realize this was a challenge. I have only ever used regular pokeballs.

I totally agree about the lighting making Pokémon look shiny. I had a terrible time earlier today hunting glaceon since the shade made every freaking glaceon look shiny. It was a complete nightmare but at least I got the shiny.

Steel sandwich helps riolu hunts because riolus will often spawn with Lucario. That’s how I got mine while looking for a shiny Lucario

1:13 I expected him to say manscaped😂

I'm in the process of completing my living dex with premire balls only.... man I miss my scrappy false swipe pangoro. A lot of luck going into catching all these new ghosts

Without watching the video... Yes, I did exactly that, (except the poison terra Sligoo that I caught in a premier ball for whatever reason...) But even my legendary, I completed my Pokedex with all red pokeballs

10:27 Cant wait when someone send this clip to Purplecliffe on his you laugh = lose pokemon XD

Your videos are really well put together and inspired me to make my own Sc/Vi videos!

I love all the youtubers references very entertaining

Someone sponser him he already nailed the transitions!

I've been doing this challenge since emerald, even some legendaries. It has formed a love hate relationship with the games.

Yes you can, and I always do. I've only ever caught stuff in basic pokeballs because I got ocpd. Which results in me yelling at my screen for everything to just stay in the freaking amzingly low catch rate pokeball for a few days😂

As someone with the tism if I don’t use the same kind of pokeball for every Pokémon I catch I get overwhelmed by which ball I should use, so yes, can confirm. Good to see someone else do it!

You should have way more subs. Your narration is very entertaining and i hope your career as a RU-vidr skyrockets!

super fun video! always brightens my day to see you've uploaded a new one on this channel! :]

Nice video really enjoyed it it felt like a casual playthrough more than a challenge but it was really good! also I am all for catching legends in regular poke balls. I do it with every legendary

cant believe youre a new youtuber! this is great content and well edited! subbed :)

Good content man! Can’t wait to see more from you!

that poke rap just earned you a sub buddy ! (watching your video while i try to see how many shiny pokemon i can catch in 24 hrs. I'm up to 13 at the moment with 7 hrs left

1:12 would be a perfect manscape sponser moment

rowlet enjoyer and stock pokeball only user... seems we are not so different great video, keep it up.

Yo! Super happy to see a new video from you! You're awesome, and a big inspiration. I dedicated my latest video to you actually, since your content got me into shiny hunting! All the best 🎉

You can do it, I've got a living-dex of only basic balls Pokémon. Great content, keep it up.

Interesting video concept ... please keep the unique content coming!

No idea how, but I did end up with an extra Master Ball. At first I thought maybe I just didn’t use it, but the wild Koraidon was right there in a Master Ball. Came in handy for Ting-Lu, though, because I forgot to save before fighting it.

I already did this and have a full living dex including all the raid den event pokemon and now have over 150 shiny pokemon in regular pokeballs. (yes I caught the raid den event pokemon in regular pokeballs as well as walking wake and Iron leaves in regular pokeballs too)

Fun Fact: I actually somewhat did this as in catch every Pokémon in a pokeball except for the legends but yay I caught all of them in a pokeball(iron valient and roaring moon to at full health)

great video! just subbed!! keep it up!!

You deserve over 100k subs before summer. You are making such good content 😊

Bro I can’t believe how new you are, and you’re already my favourite RU-vidr

10:27 congrats you killed a makuhita

I only used pokeballs in my playthrough, and I completed the dex that way. It wasn't difficult at all

I have watched do meny pokemon RU-vidrs but even though your a new RU-vidr your my favorite pokemon RU-vidr I love your videos and theres just something about this RU-vid channel than has a place in my heart❤ I love your videos and I hope this channel will be a channel that people can call out.

Yes, yes you can. Did it myself. Caught nearly everything in the game in basic poke balls, all with mostly just knocking them below half health and paralyzing them. Crit captures happened often, even caught the second Miraidon in one on my thirteenth or so ball. The only thing I didn’t catch in poke balls were the treasure legends. I used Luxury Balls on them for aesthetic and they’re no stronger than the basic ball anyway.

Lucario is my chad when you said how much damage will it do I instantly chose one shot .

Me already knowing the answer because I've been playing like this for ages. Well done tho it's nice to see other succeed in this challenge aswell ^^

10:27 i didn't see that coming

The shade thrown on Purplecliffe is unreal! 😂

Your voice is so calming in the best way possible. (Also love the vid)

ngl, when he was listing all the pokémon at the start of the video, it sounded like the og ending theme for pokémon

As someone that caught most of the Pokemon in Paldea Pokedex, it's possible to catch them all in a Pokeball.

wow, amazing vid! you need WAY more veiws.

Me who does this already: In all seriousness though, super awesome video!

So... I decided to shiny hunt rowlet, and I some how got it in 3 eggs! Granted, it was masuda with a shiny charm.But it's still cool!

I was absolutely expecting a manscaped ad with that setup 😂

My brother has been doing this ever since gen 4 and I have followed in his footsteps ever since gen 6. Idk why he started it but I just do it too out of habit now. Love the video tho keep it up :)

I only just subscribed to you because this is amazing

27:57 You can, but only when wifi is switched off. You can use local communication from the same account. It works a little worse now since with SwSh you were always connected with local communication if you weren't online. But if you start searching on your main switch and then open your other game on your second switch it will work. Same goes for union circles

This is just how I play Pokemon, except I use Premier balls for Legendaries.

Purplecliff reacted to the clip

Hey there! I’m loving this channel so far, you’re quickly becoming one of my favourite Pokétubers, keep it up man!

I catch every Pokémon I think I’ll ever use for a battle in a normal pokeball cuz I like them the best outta all of the pokeballs so it’s definitely possible as I also did all the legendary Pokémon as well with the only exception being Miraidon as I thought the Ultra Ball matches the design on his head really well and since I don’t use legendary Pokémon too often I allowed it

I only use Pokeballs in every game, unless its mandatory to use another ball. (Such as second legendary in Legends Arceus).

It took me 100 hours after game launch to make a living dex with just normal pokeballs.

Caught Ting-Lu in a nest ball for colour matching but for some reason it worked very well on it? It rocked 3 times twice then I caught it on the third ball

great video!

Ok im so glad someone said it. I remember that i found a shiny beldum that i wasn't prepared for and used my master ball. I showed it off in a pokemon community and so many people said i wasted my masterball and i could have used it for for the tapus or the box art legendaries. And at that time, i already caught them all, even if i didn't, i feel like that would be a waste of the masterball. Like you can reset your game to try and catch the legendaries, you couldn't do that with a shiny (at that point in sun)

I already catch my pokemon in regular pokeballs, but still an entertaining video XD

I wish people would make living dexs when they did these challenges, they ain’t that much harder but they so much better

in my defense, i got SO MANY hacked lv 100 shiny mons ranging from competitive biulds to starters to paradoxes, so i now have 27 master balls in my bag. i did not care to waste 3 of them on miraidon and the last 2 shrines to complete my dex.

For the most part I did this challenge in my Scarlet playthrough, only things in other types of pokeballs were violet exclusives my girlfriend traded me.

I've just started the video, but I already done that before! Took a lot of pokeballsand lots of time haha

Yes You can and I have,that’s the only pokeball I use unless I want a pokeball to match a shiny I caught actually next to the heal ball the regular pokeball is my favorite pokeball it’s so iconic❤❤

Im in love with this channel

Emotional support Dunsparce back to save the day!

Challenge idea 💡 Play Pokemon S/V but you can only use one of every type of pokeball

you deserve mcuh more subs

This isn't a challenge for me this is just how I normally play even with legendarys

I literally have been doing this since sun and moon and every other game that came next😅 I just like how it looks, it’s simple and also cuz like in the anime they mostly use pokeball so that’s also why

was literally following john austin guide for the 4 mythic as well

I basically use only Poke/Premier balls anyway so yes it’s possible

I've been doing that since I started, I only have six Pokémon out of the 250 I caught that aren't in a regular pokeball being three shines, ceruledge armarouge and a traded Rowley from my friend

Ayo the Pokerap was HEAT!!!

12:07 "Arven" Bro just named Arven's first pokemon after him 💀

THAT POKÈ RAP WAS AWSOME

can confirm this is possible as i did it 2 weeks after release

I have caught 2 full odds, non outbreak, random, shinys, a yungoose, and a magnamite

I always use the premier ball. Well, I used it in Alola and then again in Paldea, idk why I didn't in Galar, but moving forward I'll always catch my living dex in Premier Ball.

i was here before you hit 500 subs

Classic balls are probably one of the best not only they are cheap so you can just spam ungodly amounts instead of 1 quick ball + some ultra also every single pokémon can look good with normal balls but some balls just don't do it for some pokémons

Every pokemon game I've ever played has been with Pokeball only, idk why but i just prefer the look and its more consistent when looking through boxes and parties.

Tip: If you are enough of a Pokémon fan that you’re running it on two switches, it might be worth it to invest into both physical cartridges and digital downloads. Doing so allows you to run either game at the same time without moving a cartridge back and forth or being locked out due to digital restrictions. Obviously not for everyone, but I make a lot in my day job, so getting rid of inconvenient things to fully play everything these games can do was worth it to me. This is especially useful if you want to save a raid on your second switch and then use local union room to keep playing it while being able to go online on your main switch.

You can trade between two files on the same account, as long as it's on two different switches. Just disconnect from the wifi on one of them. Not Flight mode, just disconnect.

Considering that I forgot about the existence of Quick Balls for most of the game, I did catch most of my Pokemon with regular Pokeballs. Gimme the classic red ball! Best ball! I literally only use different balls for shinies. Then there was Miraidon... after using 30 regular pokeballs, I was annoyed and put it in a Great ball. I honestly wish I got it in a master ball just for the M.

😂 I liked and subscribed just off the Pokérap

well, I guess we can expect flat pokeball theories now

This video is goated

i have a living dex in pokeballs, never used any other ball in my playthrough! it's also female only (unless 100% male or has a different form when male)!! doing a shiny dex now in poke balls :-)

"can i complete the pokedex by catching pokemon" "yes, but i can't cheese it with quick, ultra, net or any other types."

You forgot about the Sun for iconic spherical celestial objects. It and the Earth are two major reasons we can even be alive.

I have played all pokemon games using only the pokeball besause I hate the design of the other balls with rare exceptions like the ones made by Kurt which only features in a few games. I must say that it is a run itself to catch them all using only the pokeball but it is fun and very accomplishing once you do it.
