Challenge [Multi-Gen] Let Zard Solo Them

Lunaflare

Lunaflare


I am attempting a multigenerational Charizard solo run in the following games:

Red
>Crystal<
Fire Red
Diamond
White
Black 2
Y
Alpha Sapphire
Sun
Ultra Sun

If it's unavailable in said games before the first gym without trading, it hackin tim

The rules are:
1. Try to limit scum saving. This is a habit I am trying to break. Exceptions may apply if I run out of money. grumble grumble misty
2. HM slaves are permitted, but may not battle. They must have a non-damaging move to spam in case Zard faints.
3. The solo Pokemon must be named something along the lines of "Let Me Solo Them". "Lemme Solo" is fine in case the name doesn't fit.

Current progress:

:gs/charmander:
SOLO HIM (Crystal)
Level: 11
- Scratch
- Growl
- Ember
0/8 badges

:rb/charizard:
LEMME SOLO (Red)
Level: 69
- Swords Dance
- Slash
- Flamethrower
- Dig
8/8 badges
E4 fails: 1

Charmander is better than people give it credit for. Kanto’s starters are all honestly not as strong as what we would have to pick from in later games, but even in an environment where Fire is a mid Type at best and it has lower Special Attack than later games, you could do worse. It’s better than Arcanine in Gen 1 specifically in my opinion, and it’s probably the best Fire-Type in Kanto that doesn’t require a Fire Stone. Also in Gen 1, the critical hit mechanics and access to Slash later in the game partially compensate for the lower attacking stats. I’ve even seen people use Ember against Brock’s team before. It’s not the best move you can use but it’s something.

I agree with this. Also, Ember would be best against Geodude and Onix over Scratch for sure because of their low Special stats.

I’m going to eat at a restaurant but I’m bringing my console with me so hopefully I will make some progress.
 
Bringing this back because I'm sick again and I have time on my hands for once. At least, I will until college starts up Tuesday.

OP has been updated.
 
Did some sneaky updates without bumping the thread, although it is slightly out of date because I’m at 6/8 badges and on my way to Cinnabar island. From here on out screenshots will only be of Hall of Fame moments with my solo Charizard.

Actually wait I think I annihilated Blaine already.

After wiping the floor with Blaine, Giovanni, and ASSFART, we are taking on the Pokemon League! I'll update this post with LEMME SOLO's final level once I get to the end of the league.

Edit: we won mr stark (i forgot to deposit my HM slaves but i had no revives)
