Poliwags Scarlet mono water Run part 9: The Arc to end all arcs | FandomPart…pokemon.fandom.com

When I started this run,I think I told myself I'm gonna end at ai sada. Can't believe I'm already here lol.

1 last fruit sandwich before we head into the depths.

Alright, here we go.

Yeah true, why do we drop down here again? I'm glad the post game gives us an alternative.

In we go!

Someday I'll use a Bravairy... someday (I wish it evolved sooner...)

Snom finally won the neat name lottery when it evolves at last in 1 language.

So thats where Pimpnite gets all his salt in paldea.

The 1st station battle lycanroc just OHKOed it. Gyarados didn't even do a thing.

Drednaw took over this strecth and didn't do anything.

Also behold, my fav paradox Pokémon (well, tied with slither wing but still.

Anywho it put up a better fight than glimmora, needing 4 rock tombs (it's missed the 3rd one)+dark pulse and 2 baby doll eyes from penny to defeat it.

Pelliper took over for shift 3. Great Tusk was no match for mabosstiffs play rough+hurricane from my pelican.

Also I found more area zero lore in the lab-i didn't know you could read those books. The one at research station 3 feels like it got retconed by Terapagos and the crystal pool...hmmm..

Creepy.

Anywho it's the last streych. It's Azumarill time.

So that means slither wing and sandy shocks are the only paradoxes I can't find before the ai sada fight. Dang.

Great Tusk ohkoes nemonas lycanroc and aqua tail misses

Great tusk brick breaks me as goodra goes for muddy water,doing a lot of damage and allowing Azumarill to take out great Tusk with draining kiss.

The subsequent brute Bonnet gets decimated by play rough... it lived on 1 HP but penny takes it out with a disrespect dark pulse.

Flutter Mane gets rekt by aqua tail+mabostiff crunch. Take that, scourge of VGC!

Ok, now to destroy the ai.

Slither wing out speeds me and goes a lunge, cutting my attack in half. Play rough causes it to live on 1hp, so I had Azumarill go for a disrespect trailblaze.

Flutter mane mystical fires me, Azumarill fails to ko with play rough. I get para hacked by tbolt, then dodge the next one, get parahax again, get struck by a bolt and Azumarill is down. Floatzel can take it out with aqua jet as its HP is low enough.

Sandy shocks is a threat, I got nothing much to smack it with, so I switch to drednaw (`who still doesn't have EQ...) I get a quick claw and use body press. It does nothing. Earth power puts me in orange.

Drednaw evades a discharge and liquidates the magnets, destroying it.

I'm counting on you now pelliper.

I misclick surf as bonnet giga drains, then I go for hurricane, it barely lives and gets a giga drain off, pelliper gets decimated by sucker punch.

Aqua Jet isn't enough to ko, I get hit with payback, and Floatzel just survives enough to take it out with another aqua jet.

Floatzel isn't healthy, so I send quaquaval against scream tail.

I tera water, eat a play rough, then deal good damage with aqua step. With the rain still up, a rain boosted aqua jet (which crits) defeats scream tail.

Now for the final boss: can CC beat the roaring moon?

It does! Yay!

Welp.

Fine I'll stop fooling around game.

First turn I get taunted and fish for burn with flamethrower. It does nothing and no burn.

Next I go for normal tera blast as it goes for flamethrower. Still nothing.

I attempt to collision course...as it goes for bulk up. Argh... still collision course does more damage than the other 2, so I go for it again...

My Koraidon lives on 1hp from giga impact as I deal another collision course.

I go for another collision course (c'mon let me tera) and it does ok damage.

I finally get to tera as I get an omniboost.

The opposing Koraidon barely lives a tera blast as my Koraidon uses power of friendship to live a flamethrower. One more defeats it as the story draws to a close.

Welp, that concludes this playthrough.

I've got another SV playthrough starting tomorrow, stay tuned.

(Edit: lol the credits is still English. What?)

Part 8

https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003823495

Poliwags Scarlet and Violet mono water playthrough part 8; Stars and Titans fall | FandomPart…pokemon.fandom.com

I just decided to let my mons fool around with the ball and this happened. Yikes.

Anywho it's nighttime, time to end Starfall .

Ok,let's do this.

Azumarill used trailblaze on his lead, but it got yawned.

So I swapped to quaquaval to eat a foul play. Should have used pelliper instead. Never mind, CC can take it out....or not...

I swap in Floatzel and it takes way more damage from foul play that my dancing duck, so I check their attack stats (they're the same).

However I found that most of my team is evd in physical attack thanks to the mons we felled. Oof.

Floatzel manages to take out oranguru with aqua jet and I replace it with Gyarados as abomasnow comes in. I was gonna use pelliper, but remembered pellipers ability would likely go second as its under levelled.

Gyarados does nothing to abomasnow with crunch as it sets up a veil, so I swap into Azumarill who tanks a blizzard. Abomasnow then takes a ice shard as I draining kiss (reasoning is it work around the snow, which can give me bulk with lefties. The same events happened again for the next 2 turns as the snow is stalled out-and the veil too. Another ice shard...and abomasnow is down to a play rough!

I had no idea what this was,and kept Azumarill in. Turns out it was houndoom, who goes down to 1 aqua tail .

On the oncoming Gyarados, Azumarill goes for. draining kiss to work around intimidate (becuz what can hurricane to Gyarados anyway-and the rain could backfire), while Gyarados goes for stone miss and eq. It was doing nothing so I switch to drednaw on a stone miss, and it managed to outrun Gyarados and take it out with a rock tomb, a d chews up polteageist.

Oh man it's daytime now...nvm.

Meowscarada is last, so I swap pelliper in and tera to flying...and gets hit by a T punch and paralyzed,..but ...

Ironically enough, meowscarada had the level advantage, but it's paper thin defenses let pelliper one shot it with hurricane. Oof.

Anywho becuz it's daytime I can't fight penny, so I heal up and start thinking on how to beat arven...

Jeez, don't be so hard in urself...

Unironically the 1st time I actually read occulture. Yeah sorry I'm late to the party. (Though flutter mane and roaring moon in the same room...did they know...?)

Anywho, now to battle!

...oops I led with Azumarill. Idk if huge power can break through this things defense.

We trade blows with trailblaze vs body slam, and Azumarill gets paralyzed from the 1st body slam, so I full restore it to get rid of it. I get to +4 and take out Greedent with a disrespect draining kiss.

In comes toedscruel, which misses a power whip as I go for draining kiss to heal up, and then I take it out with a crit play rough.

Idk if scovillains weak to water...

I tera normal to eat an energy ball but miss a play rough, then draining kiss as scovillain misses it's move. 1 play rough takes it down to half health as Azumarill dodges a fire blast. Another play rough takes it out.

In comes Garg, which I'm scared of due to yp salt cure. Turns out it just set up rocks, then got take. Out by 1 aqua tails. That's odd considering garg is supposed to be physically tanky.

I don't know how, but Azumarill deals just under half to cloyster, dodges icicle spear completely, and then crits the next play rough to take out the oyster.

4pp left on play rough so I go draining kiss on mabostiff...it does nothing. It goes for a crunch, which doesn't cut my HP in half (as in deal half hp, nothing like pain split). I go draining kiss again, dodge a second crunch.

I go draining kiss. It lived on 1 health, then burns me!

...and there's epic Azumarill sweep number 2!

1 down, 2 to go. Unfortunately it's still daytime...so...I guess off the find titan Tatsugiri.

Well that was easy. I may or may not use it, probably should have koed it to get Gyarados and Floatzel better levels, but oh well

No way I'm getting another Azumarill sweep.

Azumarill manages to dodge baby doll eyes and gets Vaporeon to low HP with play rough.

I played Umbreon like a fiddle with a disrespect draining kiss as it went for baby doll eyes.

Jolteon comes in and I swap Azumarill die drednaw, who has bulldoze.

I get quick claw and get Jolteon to orange...then drednaw gets electrocuted by thunder.

I attempted to aqua jet ko it with Floatzel. It lived on 1 health again, so it took 2.

Anywho, pelliper faces off against leafeon, and blows the grass type away.

Pellipers hurricane doesn't take out Vaporeon of course, but I get the confusion. Unfortunately, a Hydro Pump took out pelliper, but Azumarill was able to get payback with 2 trailblazes. The oncoming Flareon gets destroyed by 1 aqua tail.

I have no fairy type coverage, so i go for play rough in Sylveon as it teras...

Argh... anywho so I try to take advantage of the leftover rain by tera water aqua jet on Floatzel in hopes of taking it out...and fail.

Anywho, quaquaval also packed aqua jet, so I managed to finish off the battle there. Now I can take on the elite 4 after some mashing.

It's always weird seeing English here as I'm on non English speaking mode.

Ummm...I wonder why?

I wonder why the plot forces us to go in there then...

Draco? That sounds neat ...except non of my team can use it. Oof.

And now...e4 and Geeta time

Yep I accidentally oofed the first one.

Time for epic pelliper sweep.

Nah I ...nearly got screwed by whiscash future sight and stone miss from donphan...

And sandstor from dugtrio... twice. Ended up sacking Floatzel to preserve the sweep...and jist surfed the dugtrio instead of hurricane spam (and an ice beam miss...is it sand veil), as well as camerupt. Though in the end I just scrapped trying to sweep becuz clod can eat hurricanes, ice beams and whatever for days, and surf does nothing,so quaquaval beats clod with 2 CCs.

Ok, I'm not playing around anymore.

Poppy's copperjah nearly destroys quaquaval with play rough after I go for an aqua step, luckily aqua jet could take it out.

Corviknight is next so I send in Azumarill to overpower it's defenses.

1 aqua tail did this much. The next one missed. The last one took corviknight out. The bird kept using brave bird for some reason.

Magnezone comes in so I send in quaquaval...

CC didn't one shot it, but aqua jet could.

Bronzong is next in, and I counter with Gyarados.

I set up 1 d dance, and survive a zen headbutt. Waterfall almost takes out the bell, I survive another zen headbutt, likely due to intimidate. One more waterfall destroys the bell.

For some reason +1 tera water waterfall isn't enough to take out Tinkaton, but Tinkaton goes for stone miss so luckily I tera'd. Another waterfall finishes the job.

Larry uses a team of fliers, so I lead drednaw (who has rock tomb...yes still no rock slide or stone miss, but at least rock tomb I think can trust to land more)...then swap to pelliper to counter his Tropius lead with an ice beam as it goes for solar beam. Tropius gets turned into a popsicle as as staraptor comes in, who take pelliper to orange with brave bird before falling to ice beam.

Pelliper lives a dragon pulse from altaria on 5hp and takes it out with ice beam too...as its unhealthy I swap drednaw into a pom pom oricorios revelation dance.

It hurt, but rock tomb somehow ohkoed (no qukc claw boost either).Drednaw definitely didn't want to eat a CC, so I swap Gyarados in on flamingo, but it's scrappy shit Gyarados down...but Gyarados could still take it out with 2 ice fangs.

For Hassel, I'm gonna just let Azumarill destroy his team of dragons.

Noivern super fangs my Azumarill (it's slow) but 3 draining kisses is enough to take it out.

Azumarill can't hurt the incoming dragalge, so I have drednaw come in and bulldoze it. Dragalge whips out the t bolt, forcing me to tera Normal Azumarill after drednaw gets turned into alligator snapping turtle salad, and 1 draining kiss+play rough decimates it.

Flapple seeds me, and I fail to draining kiss ko. It lands dragon rush, and I defeat it with play rough.

I swap Azumarill out to get rid of leech seed, then Floatzel takes out the haxorus with power of friendship (it lived on 1hp).

Surprisingly Bax uses icicle Crash on Azumarill instead of glaive rush after it terasz and barely survives a play rough. Glaive rush shreds Azumarill...but quaquaval is still healthy enough to take out baxcalibur with aqua jet soon after.

Funny how 2 of my mons attempted to learn wave crash. Floatzel has it, quaquaval not so much (I need both aqua step and aqua jet)

Woah, scary.

If I lose to pre dlc Geeta, I'm gonna be so embarrassed...

Anywho I lead Azumarill and play rough her espathra...not before reflect is set up. Azumarill tanks a lumina crash, and it still wouldn't take out the psychic ostrich. Another lumina crash brings me to -6, but I managed to take out the silly ostrich.

I swapped in pelliper to Gogoat to take it out with hurricane, but it failed as it bulks up. 1 more ice beam finishes the job with a crit.

Kingambit comes in as the reflect goes down, allowing me to close combat the general to oblivion.

(I wonder how kingambit is doing in vgc ATM with urshifu running around...)

Azumarill returns to take on veluza, eating a psycho cut and defeating it with 2 trailblazes.

Quaquaval then comes back out against avalugg. Becuz it's avalugg, it eats 1 close combat with ease. 2 though....

To take on her

ace, I send in drednaw. I click bulldoze as glimmora teras to rock... nothing happens as I get 2 pairs of t spikes set up and lower it's speed.

This time, tera water waterfall is enough to finish the job. Good job Gyarados!

Meanwhile, nemonas not pulling any punches, going for the stone miss on Azumarill as I set up a trailblaze, then setting up stealth Rocks (meaning it's probably Azumarill or nothing) as another trailblaze takes lycanroc out.

I little Timmy Tera on the pawmot and take it out with 1 play rough.

Orthworm nearly destroys Azumarill with 3 body pressses, Azumarill barely escapes. Dudunsparce, however, finishes off the weakened Azumarill after a weak draining kiss does nothing, so I swap into quaquaval to take out dudunsparce with CC.

Goodras swapped in, so I go into pelliper, intending to ice beam goodra. Rocks+dragon pulse nearly destroys pelliper, but an ice beam is fired off. I max Potion pelliper, then dragon pulse and ice beam ends me. Becuz pelliper left the rain up, I swap Floatzel in, who manages to take out the gooey monster with ice fangs crit.

Azumarill expended my tera, and I'm underlevelled so I'm in a bad spot...wave crash save me.

Wave crash Saved me lol.

That's all for today, area zero time tomorrow.

Part 7

https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003823264

Poliwags Scarlet mono water run part 7: The beginning of the end. | FandomPart…pokemon.fandom.com

I decided to go ERI next, wrap up Starfall street, and then take out everything else from there.

I did a bit of grounding, and spent 10-20 mins on picnic because I really need power of friendship for the next few levels.

Slaking? More like call in sick king apparently. (Also does giga impact override truants turn skip? It used guga impact to OHKO my Gyarados, then recharged, then giga impacted again,all without truant activating. What?)

Speaking of Gyarados...you know how it doesn't know flying moves naturally? Yeah, it got semi walled by the final team star base guards Croagunk (waterfall heals it, ice fang and crunch do nothing, and then d dance is d dance)a

but managed to take it down with 3 crunches, then pelipper took out the primeape. (Pelliepr couldn't take out Croagunk either becuz it's a rain setter)

As for Erin herself, toxicroak beat Gyarados, so I took a risk and sent pelliper in. Pelliper also got poisoned but hurricane rips toxicroak to shreds, as well as the passimian that followed.

Lucario comes in and I went into Azumarill. At first I thought I goofed, but then turns out I was good as aqua tail takes Lucario out.

Azumarill vs the angry monkey. For once, I hope play rough doesn't have its effect trigger....

And then it goes for fire punch in the rain.

What.

Now for the car. The car has stamina so I felt like I needed to get pelliper healthy again to take it out as it sets up 2 shift gears. The super overleveld Azumarill does good damage with aqua tail and tanking 2 spinouts,even despite the stamina boosts.

I risk a play rough, thinking it won't KO because of the stamina boosts. Unfortunately the HP bar above indicates huge power boost is just enough to destroy it. Good job Azumarill.

Close combat! Yes! Finally I can replace quaquavals low sweep! Now to beat the Eevee squad...hmm...

Nvm it's daytime now, let's beat dozo first I guess

Woah! Freeze hax! Amazing!

Accidentally found it by finding a big Tatsugiri. Oh well, Azumarill can take dozo down.

Azumarill also somehow avoided a lot bad luck (Greedent took the brunt instead)

Azumarill the MVP LOL.

I don't remember how many things it defeated, but taking on great Tusk while under leveled and coming out on top has to be one of them.

Azumarill is definitely Rankin high on my next Johto tier list, maybe even usurping jumpluff as my fav gen 2 Mon.

That's all for today. Thanks for reading!

Part 4: https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003821118/r/4400000000017220234

Poliwags Scarlet Mono Water run Part 4: 3 for 3, and maybe more? | Fandomhttps://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/440000000000382081…pokemon.fandom.com

Cascarafa has a delibirds presents so I checked it for stuff. I only could get leftovers as the useful item, and 2 water stones to get cloyster and Vaporeon to the mix. Unfortunately cloyster doesn't have skill link, so no shell smash icicle spear spam (though I still went with it)

. I'm gonna let them soak up a bit of exp and let Golduck and drednaw rest for a day.

Jeez, thanks reminding me to somehow have counterplay for arvens garganacl later.

(Also I managed to get cloyster and Vaporeon up to mid 20s, I'll train them more on the way to auction)

Yes, this win gull has hydration, that means I can use it as a drizzle pelipper later. I guess this ends Vaporeons tenure here as I need this to evolve fast.

Drizzle Pelli per has been something I really wanted on my team becuz I have Floatzel (I used a rare candy to evolve buizel). I think I may rotate this with Golduck (who I need to beat Atticus and ERI with as it has psychic moves).

I'm seeing double here lol. Anywho Floatzel was overleveld yet it swept this team.

Wow I'm lucky. Thinking it I should delete t spikes, as I'm not sure I'm gonna use it anytime soon. Plus I can swap it on later if I decide not to replace cloyster.

Seriously, walking whale? That sounds nonsensical.

Bye quaxwell. You wouldn't be missed.

"Hey, did you know aqua step is dancing move?"

(Also I wonder where the style came from)

Can you tell how much I used Azumarill? Idk how it got so strong, I must have used it way too much.

That's an Azumarill sweep! I'm so glad I got lucky enough to roll huge power on this thing way back in part 1.

Anywho, great Tusk time. Gyarados time to shine.

That's a good localization name...

Tho great Tusk phase 1 is very tough due to the sand, it put pelliper and Gyarados into yellow despite being intimidated onec. I had to tera Floatzel to defeat it with aqua jets.

Phase 2 I decided to stop messing around and used Azumarill against it. Azumarill decimated it, making it my strongest Mon and 1st to beat a paradox. Unfortunately as much as I'd like to go beat dozo rn Azumarill couldn't do much to a level 50 Bravairy so I better not try.

I think that's it for this run.

I'll probably put out a ranking every single Mon by region tier list (transformations excluded) within the next 2 days becuz pokemon day is coming.

Part 1: https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003818729

Poliwags Scarlet mono water run part 1 | FandomI wanted a challenge, so here are the rules -Only…pokemon.fandom.com

Yay I have huge power! Not having it was one of my biggest fears, though thick fat will still help with grusha and glaceado mountain. I just huge power more.

Good riddance wiglett. I got a new best friend. I've used drednaw on my sword playthrough a while back, it's nice to use it

Buizel learnt soak. Somehow I managed to use it to beat the Rookidee used by this Trainer. Unfortunately it won't save me from electrocution by Pawmi...or iono much later.

T wave? I wish I could use this later...but it's nice to have.

I'm never badmouthing Psyduck ever again. Pawmi took out quaxly and buuzel (who only got one mud slap off), and I was gonna let Pawmi sweep me but Psyduck somehow lived a tera t shock to take it out with psybeam.

If you know, you know. Hope I don't have to fight one.

I picked a mystic water and quick claw from delibirds, quaxly got the mystic water (it's my strongest so I need some firepower) and chewtle got the quick claw (I think drednaw is like super slow right?)

That localized name for team star ... Makes them sound excessively egotistical. I fought them twice and in hindsight nothing screamed egotistical.

One step closer to being the game I'm used to.

RIP this yungoos. It's gonna get hyper disrespected by a tera aqua jet from quaxly.

Ok this is a bit of a downgrade... (Context: one of the Chinese characters in "tough" work sounds like star in Chinese)

I had to legit look up Penny's japanese name, it's botan-like botanical I presume. That's a lot of transliteration that got lost in English I guess. This is gonna take a lot of getting used to. (I wonder type of lame name Larry will have lol).

Try saying the name of titan pokemon in Chinese 10x fast. It's very hard.(it's also gonna be hard for me to not think arvens name is piper)

Donphan is armored? I guess the trunk section is but donphan definitely doesn't scream armored as much as, say, ttar or aggron. (Man I wish I could use aggron in this game).

These feel easier to read compared to English, they use less characters. I'm so gonna go after dozo in the late game.

Magikarp looks creepy...from that POV. (Also really need a way to get friendship up with azuroll without using it in battle, since it's not water yet...I'd have to bathe it like 20 times...and pray my other mons don't get jealous)

Queen of fairies? I bet she uses.a team of fairies! (Sarcasm)

Why is paldea so themed around food? Like seriously were conceptualizers in hangry mode? Or munchlaxes made this concept?

I looked up all the paradox mons, they're all off limits becuz none are water type (in violet I'd at least have bundle).

For those wondering, Regarding the final mirror match between koraidons, I'm gonna ignore all my rules becuz that's legit no way around that canon event.

I'm admittedly terrified if how I'm gonna get past ionos mismagius rn, give me some ideas in the replies after the end of the post.

Arven seems a bit more daring here...in English I'm pretty sure he never said nemonas name.

NGL, these have the lamest names of the 3 route bosses, it's just type+base...

Finally, I can semi play as I normally do now (... without the upgrades... considering how I muscle memories koraidon before getting it this is gonna take some getting used to).

She seems nicer in this language instead of implying I want to do gyms. Speaking of gyms I'm gonna go take Katy down first....

Oh wait I can picnic now yay!

Magikarp can finally swim above the ground? Without evolving into Gyarados? Yay!

Messing around with picnic really helped, now I can finally use this thing.

Grinded a bit, maybe picked off a bit more than I could Chee (cough level 18 Mudbray cough),I made everyone level 15, except Magikarp becuz it's too hard for it to. I also caught an Eevee in case I couldn't find a wild one (I know they're in the dozo lake but are they anywhere else?)

Now Magikarp got to 15...and finally learnt tackle. Why?!

This one I tried to troll via mud slap with buizel, but that didn't work to help marill beat it after a tera normal slam miss so quaxly had to finish the job.

Oh and I was switch training Magikarp - becuz Gyarados served me well in a nuzlocke did previously, I need one soon.

Well, it had to happen eventually. (Got level 17 on accident). Quaxwell is my least fav paldean starter form but I'm gonna make myself like it for this playthrough. As Quaxly it took out Katy's first non tera bugs, though Nymble it had marills help, and marill took out the last one after I sacrificed Psyduck and quaxly to fury cutter.

1 down, 7 to go.

D'oh! It's just going into storage unfortunately-nvm I oofed it. Sorry shiny hunters.

1st full Evo of the run let's go! Klawf is so donezo...maybe I should try and get Gyarados while I'm at it

Klawf vs water types is easy,I semi handicapped myself by trying to switch train with Magikarp but Azumarill took out phase 1 and phase 2 was taken care of by Psyduck.

Def not the face of mercy. Also this is probably the only place where a Psyduck can take Ws that isn't on Pimpnite or other Ytbers channels.

At this point I'm gonna beat brassius or Giacomo before Magikarp evolves...

Anywho, I think that's where I'm gonna end. Sorry about the shiny ko, maybe recommend me some water types I can try can get...and hopefully tomorrow I can evolve Magikarp.
