So for my second playthrough of the game I decided to try a baby only challenge run
I want to see if I can beat the game with a baby team (not necessarily the post-game, just get to Top Champion Geeta and defeat her, which also includes defeating Nemona during her Champion ranked battle in Mesagoza)
So yeah let's introduce the babies!
First up, Sushi the Oshawott of course my most favorite baby EVER he's a little G look at him rockin' that Scalchop
I always name every Oshawott I use in any game Sushi. And there's Nabnut the Skwovet, he a chonky boy ready to take a bite outta his foes (and he's got his eye on my Bounsweet too, since she's pretty much a tasty, juicy fruit) They are just TOO precious
Next we have Mangorita the Bounsweet and Sherry the Mareep aka vitamin C and cotton candy. Lastly, there's Sylvia the Flabebe who is just there to deal with dragons lol and Polterpup the Greavard with the hidden ability Fluffy, so while he can't take a fire move he can definitely tank physical attacks much better. So yeah that's the dream team! I'll be alternating between having them hold Everstones and then giving them beneficial held items during major fights, such as versus Gym Leaders, Team Star Bosses and the Titan Pokémon. Let's see how far these babies can go!
Now, here are some obligatory too cute photos of the baby squad frolicking and happy to be free in the great outdoors
Oshawott has no business being THIS cute omg
So gosh darn adorable, I can't stand it
seriously the cutest Route 1 normal type we have ever had. Such a simple, basic design but that's why I love it so much.
Sylvia she so tiny!
No, Polterpup! She's a friend, not food!
Sherry and Mangorita praising the sun. Just another typical day
It began to rain during the picnic.....but while my girl is upset, Sushi over there as happy as can be!
I took Sushi to the beach! He loves swimming! But a missed opportunity by Game Freak was to have Oshawott swim on his back, much like an otter does irl
Sushi is such an MVP! We took on the Fire Squad so of course he dominated
Here's where we're at so far in terms of levels! We're about halfway through our journey! About to fight that boss mon as I like to call them. It's a Lv. 65 Tsareena. Can we do it??
Yes we can!!!
never underestimate the power of babies
and Battle Items aka drugs lol
We even took on the False Dragon Titan! My babies will go down as legends.
As proof of our accomplishments so far. Here's the order we've taken, beating the False Dragon shortly after defeating Iono.
Will update with more pics once we reach the Pokémon League! I'm actually having a lot of fun with this, it's pretty tough. I think this is how ScarVio were meant to be played, to counter how easy the games are overall lol definitely won't be easy taking on the big leagues with just babies though, especially the Professor Sada battle, but we're going to give it an honest effort.
