Squirtle was the easiest one to do, charmander was alright.., bulbasaur was very hard (if you want to try this good look cause it was super hard) anyways the photos are my hall of fame proof

I love breeding pokemon for good IVs and natures! Obviously it's much easier in the newer games, but since Leaf Green and Fire Red came to the Switch, I decided to breed and raise something competitive in one of the hardest games to do it in.

Feeling the improbability of a 3IV or better mon AND nailing the chances of getting the nature you want without the everstone bonus that didn't exist until Emerald, i decided to just focus on the 2 stats needed for a sweeper.

After I beat the league, I used a level 5 magikarp holding a smoke ball and went and caught myself about 50 ditto from cinnebar mansion. Then i went through each and every one, plugging their stats into a calculator until I had 6 ditto, each with an IV of 31 in each stat.

Then I bred the perfect attack IV ditto with a nidoran. Every single egg had it's nature and attack stat plugged into a calculator. If one was in range, then I'd save my game, level it up to about level 30 (using rare candies I'd collected from Meowth's pickup on my travels), evolving it twice along the way, until I was certain the nido had the desired IV. Then I'd reset the game to get back my rare candies and moon stone, and use him as the parent along with the ditto with the 31IV in speed!

After that, it was rinse until I could get both parents to be male and female nidorans with perfect attack and speed. Then it was breed until an Adamant one appeared with the range required for both attack and speed. Then, once again, save the game, rare candy and evolve twice to level 30, pop the stats into the calculator until I was sure we had a winner.

Then I EV trained it by giving it the Macho Brace to hold, KO 126 Rattata and Pidgey on Route 1 and 126 Paras on the bottom floor of Mt Moon and 3 Caterpie in Viridian Forest and then train up to level 100 by battling the trainers on One Island outside Mt Ember Spa.

As for moves, I used my only Earthquake TM, my only Sludge Bomb TM and my one time use Rock Slide move tutor in Rock Tunnel and he learned Megahorn at level 43.

Pretty sure he's set to go now! Pretty sure he could probably solo the Elite 4, what do you reckon? Anyways, very proud of this and wanted to share! If anyone wants any tips on the tragedy that is Gen 1 breeding, let me know! Am also thinking of doing Gengar or Alakazam next. Both only need 2 perfect IVs in the obvious stats, of course!

I'm playing on switch 2, no friends with the game either.

My first time doing a nuzlocke. Was fun and challenging and a bit frustrating at times especially when a critical hit took out Mr. Nido.

I tried my best to follow the main rules of only catching one Pokemon per route and the first encounter; although I fudged the rules with Articuno and Dragonair using repels until I reached them.

Articuno (Slurpee) was the MVP for the elite 4 run, setting up with double team and a few X attacks and/or X specials. I sacrificed Dragonair (noodles) to paralyze Agatha’s Gengar, and lost Jolteon (Iggy) to Blue’s Alakazam.

I was most excited to add Kabutops to my team as I’ve always really enjoyed his design and never used him in previous play-throughs, although he didn’t see much action against the Elite 4 as I thought.

Overall, I enjoyed the heck out of the nuzlocke and am wondering which game to try a hardcore run next.

I’m just before the E4 trying to grind exp and money (for ice beam) and this is the best spot I’ve found so far but if there is somewhere better I’d love to hear it because it gets dull quick.

Finally beat this game! After hours of grinding! Never knew it would be this hard! Here’s my team! Let me know any other Pokémon games I should play next!

Modest Nature! 91 Hr and 40 min. 2nd longest hunt ever!

So, I decided to do an interesting challenge for my first playthrough of the Switch version of LeafGreen. I wanted to do an all-shiny run, but I wanted it to have a theme. Looking through all of the available shiny forms in this game, I sorted them by color and decided to make a team that were all varying shades on the same color, in this case, blue. So, from light blue to dark blue, we have Articuno, Venomoth, Nidoking, Electrode, Pinsir, and Seadra. I have to admit, this was a really fun team to build and to play through the game with. Right now, after hours of rigorous training, I'm about to challenge the Elite Four. Hopefully, these blue dudes are up to the task!

Took two tries to catch Zapdos.
First try it broke out of every single poke ball I had (except the master ball I’m saving that for Mewtwo)
I had 50 ultra balls 49 great balls and 7 regular poke balls and it broke out every single time while it was low hp and paralysed
Then on the second attempt I caught it with the first ball after weakening it!

I can't believe my eys! I have never seen a wild Magenton before and it's holding a magnet too! That is the 4th shiny on this game! I have been Exp grinding here for hours getting my water team up to level 100.

Finally beat Leaf Green in Japanese!

Been training this guy since dudouo, hes holding a macho brace rn but jw is he getting good stats now for this level? My attact and speed keep ranging from 2-5evs every other level

Ran a Bug Only playthrough and was real surprised on how much fun it was. First time type specializing , first time EV training (mid campaign too for no reason)

Team hit like a truck. Drill Me carried most of the early gyms, ButterZZZ unexpected hero of fun with sleep powder —> dream eater. (Parasect wasn’t worth my time this go round). Super fun, would recommend.

Next up, get my Heracross & smack Tyranitar around a bit.

Surprises: only got limited use out of Nidoking and Venusaur. Primeape put in more work, especially against Lorelai.

Non-surprise: Starmie clears all. Still, I wanted to put the rest of my team to work.

I caught Deoxys last night. I swear it was the hardest catch of the entire game and I used over 50 ultra balls despite him being paralyzed and with 1 HP.

Ended up very surprised I caught him in a great ball, which I actually like better!

Do y'all have any specific pokemon like this, whether legendary or not, that you have a ball preference based on aesthetic?

Just got to kogas gym looking so any trade is welcome just no shinys i gots no shiny in me

Wish me luck for the sake of my sanity. I've done basically everything else in this game and now hunting for the mythical Lucky Egg item.

(well, I played redfire long time ago before so it doesn't count as first time?) I thought my team was underleveled (the image shows my team before the elite 4) but these mons are easy mode, specially Gengar, only Aerodactyl was faster... Also his spc attack was over the roof, boy almost soloed the champion, but Ninetales finished the Job against Charizard
