Most "can you beat Pokemon game with just this Pokemon?" playthrough challenges aren't actually possible. Here are the starter Pokemon that can beat their Pokemon games COMPLETELY on their own, thus being capable of a true solo run.

Hate to burst the generation 5 bubble, but it’s kinda impossible to solo starter run black and white. You see after getting cut and dealing with team plasma in the dreamyard. On route 3, there’s a mandatory double battle and they will push you away until you have two Pokémon. Just like Tate and Liza in gen 3.

Fun fact: In X/Y you can actually skip the "mandatory" Kanto starters. Just have a full party and when asked to send one of them in the box to make room for the starter just press B. You"ll still get the mega stone for it. Granted it cant work for a solo run but it's still possible to not obtain a Kanto starter in the game. I found that out doing a nuzlock and not wanting 2 starters since that would make the run far too easy in what might already just be the easiest pkmn game to nuzlock.

@MandJTV 4 года назад

Several comments are mentioning that the Hoenn games force you to have a second Pokemon to face Tate & Liza, something I admittedly forgot about when making this video (oops). If you think that disqualifies Swampert, then that's fine. However I personally think Swampert should still get credit, because the games force the gift Castform onto you (hail yeah). You can then: 1. Not level Castform up at all 2. Bring it into the battle alongside your starter 3. IMMEDIATELY KO the Castform Turn 1 By using your starter to KO the Castform, you avoid cheating the battle by causing one of T&L's Pokemon to use an attack on the Castform instead of Swampert. It actually makes the battle a bit tougher since you have to waste your first turn. So while you technically are bringing the Castform into battle, you're not USING it in battle; its only use is being allowed to fight T&L. That's just my interpretation though. Again, I'm sorry I forgot to mention this in the video itself. EDIT: UGH AND RAIHAN WHY DID I MISS THIS. You can do the same thing in Sword and Shield but with the gift Toxel instead of Castform. There we go NOW I SHOULD HAVE COVERED EVERYTHING

In Pokemon Blue, Red, Leaf Green and Fire Red, i just got an idea about (maybe) a possibility for Blastoise to Solo Run without Cut: Simply skip the 3rd gym until you beat Koga and backtrack manually since you cannot use Fly outside of battle due to the fact that you didn't fought Serge yet. Then once back in Vermillon City, use Surf to reach the small portion with the gym. Once Serge defeated, use Surf again to get out and proceed with the game. There you go, Blastoise CAN now Solo Run the whole thing.

Technically the Mudkip line cannot solo Ruby or Sapphire because when you try to fight Tate and Liza, you won't be able to unless you have a second pokemon. The reason for this is the fact that Tate and Liza are the double battle gym leaders, and will refuse to fight you unless you have at least two pokemon. Therefore, you are unable to truly beat Ruby/Sapphire with only Mudkip. God, that felt like I was writing a school assignment.

In BDSP you call for help from Pokémon with your Pokétch. Certain ones can be used when facing the obstacle that can be removed, like Rock Smash, but others like Defog you have to manually activate in the watch. In Legends Arceus you have Wyrdeer, Ursaluna, Basculegion, Sneasler and Braviary. With the exception of Wyrdeer, all of them played a part in progressing the story, especially Basculegion and Braviary. In Scarlet and Violet you have Koraidon and Miraidon, but completing their upgrades (recovery) with Arven is necessary to access Area Zero and "The Way Home" story line, along with beating the league and Team Star.
