How I Beat Pokémon Let's Go Eevee Without Catching Any Pokémon -Pokemon Challenge 

🖕🏻 Your euros bs. This dude spending dollars

He said $300, not £300.

@Ruy Vuusen £ may be the default for their phone/computer.

@@Pudcup still a different currency

Fun fact. Pokedollars = Japanese Yen

bruh hurb

Eevee didn't know it. And it's Lizzy.

@@jacobs5546 Yes, I know Eevee didn't know it. But there's a guy in the Pokemon center at cerulean who can teach Eevee the electric move. Since Eevee also had sizzly slide, they could have temporarily replaced that with buzzy buzz, then gotten back the fire move after the gym. Also, I don't particularly care about how to spell a fictional character that existed for one video's name.

​ Abi Griffin I'm dumb. I thought only Pikachu could learn electric. And also, fair.

@@jacobs5546 eevee can learn a move for each eeveelution so that's fire water electric psychic dark grass ice and fairy

I tried this challenge myself and that didn't work :/ It seems like for the gift starters you actually need to catch Pokemon TwT

Agreed

We need to start a fundraiser for this dude, that is some dedication.

Yep

Uh huh

Yes

On a side note I'm in shock on how much those pokeball plus things cost. I mean you essentially gave away $150 in the form of a pokemon with some of the best stats ever

The dedication it takes to be a true challenge runner is some intense stuff.

@@thenailsageofgeo4975 I can tell. It definitely seems like a struggle to keep your motivation if something goes wrong but he always seems to be able to push past that

That's an interesting way of looking at that type matchup. 🤔

@@CMeeCraftGaming lizzy should visit the alola region.

She should.

Please make Sunglasses Eevee a meme.

Sure, but the game says you need more than 2 pokemon.

It's a bit hard to tell, but looking at the Let's Play footage, I don't think Mew was following Lizzy at that point. Seems like they're brought out in part 4 around 19:09, which is after both Poké Ball Pluses were bought.

@@ShursGarden Nah, the game says two *or* more.

R.I.P your wallet

I checked the lets play--mew wasn't following.

Props to the man

Is this implying that Ghosts are actually good natured?

Glad I’m not the only one who caught that

Well clearly you’re the expert, so if you have the 300 dollars to do this challenge yourself, go on ahead

@@IsabruhMoment The challenge already has an answer to it so why on earth would they do that?

The point is he picked Fire, instead of the Electric Move, for the WATER GYM

That Eevee is truly the best.

Glad you enjoyed.

But they’re not “micro-“, they’re very “macro-“ 😂

Except that other Pokemon games don't have requirements like "have a grass or water type Pokemon" or "register 50 Pokemon in your Pokedex" to enter gyms, and if you can't get past an area and need to level up, you can infinitely battle wild Pokemon, or sometimes even rematch trainers, instead of having to run around until you find a trainer you haven't beaten, or fight whomever you are stuck on over and over and over. Not to mention solo challenge runs often let you catch other Pokemon as needed, for the purposes of HM usage or, in some cases, catching a legendary to progress the plot. In a game where you cannot rebattle trainers, wild Pokemon are catch only, with a handful of exceptions, and you have some requirements of having certain numbers of Pokemon or ones of certain types, a "no catch" run is more tricky in terms of figuring out how, to the point where if that Mew wasn't available, the run probably would have been impossible or minimum catches instead. In comparison, a solo run doesn't have as many work arounds to figure out. That's not to say the battles themselves aren't harder, it just requires more planning.

@@Kahadi That is an excellent point, you are right, sir, I stand corrected.

i could have SWORN back when they were released someone figured out a way to reset them to an unused state. maybe they just weren't popular enough for that to continue, but at 150 a pop I'm surprised it's not more common to do it. maybe it was just too much effort at the time for something you could just dupe into the game? idk.

This challenge will still be possible if you don't count getting a pokemon from pokemon go as catching! It isn't caught in lets go thus your lets go character isn't breaking the "no catching" rules.

@@testerwulf3357 To bring Pokémon from GO into Let's Go, you unfortunately have to reach Fuchsia City first, as I recall. So that would make Koga's Gym easier to get into without having to bother with trading, but the double Mew would still be a necessity before then, I think.

Yeah, I bet you could. Good point.

Yes, missed opportunity!

He ain't g@y

To be honest, I'd prefer this challenge to a nuzlocke. Catching Pokemon is THE main way of gaining experience in these games, and even though you _can_ catch Pokemon in a nuzlocke, you can only catch ONE per route, and in a nuzlocke, you have to be worried about fainting and blacking out due to being underleveled, whereas in the no catching challenge you don't.

Thank you.

An alternative to constantly battling and losing to the rival is to do that with Brock, assuming you can at least beat his Geodude. He does have 2 Pokemon, after all.

I was really just wondering if there's a way to skip past that npc blocking the way from buying a magikarp looooool

@@_WiZ420 huh, I suppose I don't know enough about let's go's glitches, but that might actually be a thing...

@@MudakTheMultiplier if it is that'd be incredible. I haven't found any way to exploit online or in game though

I'd consider 300 USD more of a *macro*transaction myself, personally :p

Honestly I don't know why he didn't just transfer a Grass-type from Pokemon Go. Like seriously, just choose your starter as Bulbasaur

Hey, when your convictions are that strong you do what you have to.

It depends on your starter as well

@@alexisdipoalo9443 No, not at all. In fact, in other games its much easier. This one has the tricky requirements of needing a grass or water type and 50 total Pokemon (in the Pokedex). Solo runs have been done for lots of other Pokemon games, and with grinding being easier in other games, thanks to being able to battle wild Pokemon as well as trainers you can rematch or areas you can battle in infinitely, no matter your starter you can manage with gift Pokemon and trading. Even dealing with HMs isn't an issue, since there are many options for gift Pokemon you can trade away or possibly even breed and trade away to get something you can teach the HMs to, and newer Pokemon games have been replacing HMs entirely. Solo runs do have the issue of Tate and Liza in gen 3 (you need 2 Pokemon on your team or you can't even battle them), which might also be an issue for Raihan in gen 8 (I know he's a double battle too but idk if he has the same restriction), but this isn't a solo run so gift Pokemon solve that issue.

What do you mean? He narrates all of his videos.

I think they mean the storyline with the character
