Can You Beat Pokemon Sun Without Taking Damage?

pokemon is the highest grossing video game franchise in the world one of the primary reasons for this is the wide audience that it attracts especially in regard to the games no matter how old you are you can have fun playing pokemon however these games are not very difficult especially in the more recent additions the games are meant to be kid friendly and making them more difficult can interfere with this goal of course you can always make the games harder for yourself so far seven different youtube channels have made videos trying to complete pokemon games without taking a single point of damage every generation has been covered except for the sixth and the 7th i'm gonna attempt this challenge with pokemon sun a generation 7 game i know this is vastly different from the other videos i've posted on my channel but i would like to get into this type of content in the future and i think this is a great place to start before i start the run i'm going to set a few ground rules the first of course is that my pokemon cannot take damage for any reason if i take damage i have to reset to where i last saved i know that a few youtubers who've done this challenge have implemented rules limiting the points at which they can save such as after every gym leader after every rival battle or just never i'm going to allow myself to save whenever i want to for two reasons the first is that i want to spend as few real time hours as i can on this challenge since it's going to take a very long time the second is that when catching pokemon i nearly always have to take the risk of the pokemon breaking out and dealing damage to me having to reset to an earlier point in the game for each failed capture will waste my time while not contributing anything of significant value to the video unless my pain counts however i will try to minimize the number of resets to the best of my ability with all that said it's time to begin the run i wake up head over to iki town and pick my starter after attempting to rescue cosmog and falling off a bridge and i'll go with lidden because it's the only starter that can actually beat how in the mandatory battle that follows hal will never press a non-damaging attack for some reason so i need my starter to both out speed his and get a one at ko fortunately lin already comes with ember so this is possible to defeat him i'm gonna need a lin with 13 special attack and how to have a rowlet with less than 21 special defense ivs i also need to get a critical hit after resetting 11 times i get the lidden i need against tau i reset 18 times before getting the critical hit after that i head to route 1 and level up linton leveling up against wild pokemon will be tough in this challenge starting in gen 5 a pokemon gets less and less experience as the level difference between it and the target increases i have to start with battling caterpies and level 2 ladybugs since those are the only pokemon that will be knocked out by a single ember at level 16. eventually lyden reaches a high enough level to defeat all the trainers on the route and at level 14 it's time to battle hau again ember easily takes out both pichu and rowlet the next area i need to go to is the trainer school there are two trainers here for which i'll need a pokemon other than linden to win one of the four trainers you need to beat before battling the teacher has a bonsai with sturdy and the teacher you battle afterwards has a sturdy magnemite normally this could be achieved through using double kick a move torah cat gets by level up at level 20. unfortunately it only gets double kick starting from ultrasound and ultra moon i'm going to catch a meowth because it learns fake out i use a festival plaza trick that i'll describe in more detail later to quickly bring meowth up to level 28. after that i battle spinorack jungus and pikipek on route 1 to increase both meowtz and linden's attack evs miath k is the trainer's bonsai with a fake out into a bite takes out the teacher's magnemite the same way and then chaos the teacher's meowth with a scratch i didn't realize this until editing but the teacher's mouth was level 9 meaning it also carried fake out fortunately only trainers with high ai will always press fake out during the first turn and meowth had three other possible moves to click this gave me about a 75 chance to win this battle i defeat team skull for the first time and it's time to battle ilima none of his pokemon have priority moves so both his young goose and smeargle go down to a single bite on rat two i chase off team skull yet again and catch a growler this will help with the future battle against totem gumshoes it's time to use that festival plaza trick i mentioned earlier the trainer starts off with seven different facilities and one of the seven will be completely random two food stalls are guaranteed and there are a total of four food stalls one of these food stalls is the rare kitchen which you have a slightly higher than 50 chance of starting with because of the additional random facility fortunately i have it so i will not need to reset the game every day rare kitchen will offer three meals each of which acts like a rare candy for pokemon under level 29. pokemon cannot evolve nor learn new moves with this method by moving the date forward by a day on the console or device if you're using an emulator you can reset this process and bring a mod up to level 29 very quickly this can only be done with the previous update of the game however since i believe this glitch was patched around may of 2017. i'll link a reddit page about how to go back to this update in the description though it will refer to pokepallago a feature i'll also be using later i want krawler to have an attack stat of 61 so we can one hit ko the totem gumshoes which gets a defense boost i go back to route 1 to eevee train in the attack and it's time to start the trial on the way to gumshoes i pick up the tm for brick break which i honestly did not remember was there i give it to kerbrawler and start the totem battle brickmake probably chaos the gumshoes two times over on route 3 i battle and defeat how again but i make my first major mistake i lead torcat into a trainer's growlithe which you can't one shot so i take my first damage since the original hal battle i'm not making the same mistake a second time next up i'm going to catch a magnemite which will help in an upcoming wishy-washy trial i failed at my first attempt catching magnemite and took damage but i lost the footage that brings the total number of resets up to 31. finally it's time to battle grand kahuna hala brick brigg takes out manky and i need to fake out makuhito because it also has fake out it then goes down to a normal z moon however micro brawler which is 14 levels higher than hollows cannot ko his with brick break i consulted a damage calculator and determined that his crab must have had maximum defense in hp evs this was the first time battling a trainer with eevee so i had to be more careful of this in the future i decided that the easiest solution to defeating hollow would be to catch a level of a sphero on route 2. i level up spiro to 14 on festival plaza and then battled wild pokemon until 15 because spiro gets aerialist remember pokemon can neither learn moves nor evolve with rare kitchen meals alright round two nike goes down to aerial lace makuhita goes down the same way it did in the first battle and kerballer gets killed by aerial ace meowth evolves into persian and i am done with melee melee island on to akala first thing i do is give my mom's nicknames and you'll find out what they are in battle remember when i said i was done with melee melee island i lied to the route of route 2 lies the haole cemetery it's time to catch a gasoline so i can have a better answer to quick attack or fake out than just my own fake out i level up gastly to 29 picking up both shadow ball and sucker punch along the way i battled against several wild ghastlies to gain a bunch of special attack evs now it's time to head back to akala and battle dexio the person i got a ghost type for in the first place because espeon knows quick attack haunter fries him with a couple of shadow balls moving on to paniola town i'm greeted with the howl battle i lead persian thinking it's a safe lead but i forget that his pikachu knows quick attack i use fake out and proceed to read him like a book i reach route 5 where i find the first double battle in the game fake out makes these battles a lot easier as it basically turns the first turn into a one-on-one if both opposing pokemon cannot be ko'd in one turn it's time to take on gladion fight takes out zubat and brickwork ko's type and hull before heading into brooklyn hill i'm going to use another sun and moon feature pokemon refresh by feeding a pokemon pokebeans which i believe the old man out of pokey central cafe gave me when i talked to him a pokemon's affection can be raised at the second stage a pokemon game's boosted experience something that will be helpful when grinding i train by battling pokemon in brooklyn hill without priority moves so anything except circuit and wingle i want to hold off on evolving magnamine until level 37 because it gets discharged after i finish off the first single wishy-washy magnamite hits that level learns discharge and evolves the battle with totem wishy while she goes is expected with a single discharge being enough to take it out time to head over to the battle royale arena after this trainer hisuto budo has sturdy but it chooses to go for a mimic so i catch a lucky break that trainer was avoidable since i could have just walked around him i need to take less of these unnecessary risks team skull goes down again and it's time for probably the most uncontrollable battle yet here are the moves that the opposing pokemon can use in the mandatory battle royale house dartrix has razor leaf a move that hits all three other pokemon so it needs to go down first as for the others i just need them to not attack my slot i have a greater than 60 chance to get out of the battle unscathed since this battle royale ends the turn in pokemon faints i could have also leveled up a bit more but i didn't really want to our streak of luck continues and it's time to take on the third trial i made sure incineroar is fast enough to out to pizza with the neutral nature since the lazzle is not the bulkiest pokemon darkest lariat picks up the ko we have now unlocked a very important feature to this run pokepallago this feature allows you to do things such as pick up pokey beans grow berries level up pokemon and ev train the aisle used to ev train and level up is called well i'll level up anyways i need 45 mods in my boxes to unlock this so i go back to route 1 and throw several pokeballs on around the 35th month i needed to catch i lost to a picky peck because it broke out a newspeck following that blunder i made sure to catch only pokemon with normal type attacking moves since they wouldn't affect haunter after i had 45 mods in my boxes i started to level up my mons using pokepalago this method is efficient until somewhere in the level 60 so i can't just use it forever like with the rare kitchen i'll repeatedly change the time by 2 days and reset my game i'm going to train my pokemon up to a point where fira will out speed the upcoming totem lurantis which will have a plus 2 speed boost meaning 2 times the speed this happens at level 37 when that's all over i arrive at route 8. polaris gives the tm flame charge something i will never need to use onto lush jungle i bring furo to the front of the battle and give it a sharp beak just in case aerial lace wasn't enough to pick up the ko this trial should be a breeze or so i thought turns out pokemon can actually learn moves through pokepallago unlike with the rare kitchen the top move gets replaced and every other move shifts upwards by one aerial ace was at the top fortunately firo gets drilled back four levels later so this isn't a big deal right unfortunately i saved right before i battled the totem after reviewing the firo sequence i realized there was no way to escape without having to battle the totem since cutscene is triggered immediately after going back to the front of lush jungle you also can't encounter wild pokemon during a trial unless they are part of the trial such as the smaller wishy-washy of brooklyn hill in other words there's no way to level up firo the only pokemon i have that concurrently out to be laurentis are haunter and persian persian cannot care lorentis in one hit no matter what but hunter might be able to i go into battle with the possibility of needing to fish for a critical hit however shadow ball somehow chaos without the crit after looking at the calc this looks less impressive but it was still very surprising another trial is complete i learned about ultra wormholes go through diglett's tunnel win the free-for-all against tao and team skull and reach koniconi city i find one of the best items in the game an evil light unfortunately i can't take damage so this is completely useless i head over to memorial hill pick up the spell attack beat team skull again and it's time to plan for olivia olivia has two sturdy pokemon but no priority moves persian would have to reach a ridiculously high level to ko either one the best solution mold breaker there's only one pokemon with mold breaker available in this stage of the game after even more team skull it's time to go back to lush jungle where i can catch a pincer although pincer is bug type half the attacking moves he gets are fighting type after leveling it up to 36 where it gets storm throw it's time to take on olivia unfortunately storm throw is only 90 accurate so i'm going to need it to hit one of the sturdy mods i can fight z move the other i choose to storm throw nose pass and it fortunately hits brick brick picks up lykan rock and the z move chaos baldor pono grand resort is next and ather paradise quickly follows i'm about to face a back to back battle with nially go first and how afterwards no time to save in between hal always leads with this alolan raichu which was quick attack so i'm going to need to lead with hunter this forces hunter to have to beat nyliga shadowball will not ko without a crit but fortunately hunter knows the 60 accurate hypnosis i hit hypnosis on my first try use dark pulse to possibly flinch under the small possibility nyliga wakes up which it doesn't and shadow ball to finish nightly go off wick then gives me the tm for psychic wow that would have been useful two minutes ago at maui city how wants to battle and will not take nover an answer raichu gets taken up by a shadow ball but vaporeon has a decent chance of surviving even if haunter is holding a spell tag i decide that my best course of action is to send out magneton and hope vaporeon presses a neutrally effective move rather than quick attack i'm getting to the point in the game where important trainers will have a high enough ai level to do things such as press super effective moves whenever possible press neutrally effective moves rather than not very effective ones or just purse moves that do the most damage thus opposing trainers will soon become a lot more predictable time to go to maui garden where how is blocking my way for seemingly no reason rep 10 is next i give my persian the rocky mz for a couple of upcoming battles i take down team skull for waiting at a bus stop and i take the bus up to holy connie observatory the next two battles are mullein and the totem bike volt trial mullein always leads with a sturdy skarmory but my pincer is way too low the level to ko it i decide to fake out and rock zieman from persian as my best game plan unfortunately it was just barely not enough i'm stubborn so i decide that rather than leveling up version by three more levels i should go for hypnosis i miss during the first battle and lose and i hit during the second fortunately melanie uses a full heal eliminating the chance that skarmy both wakes up and attacks the rest of the battle is easy for the trial i decide to use persian holding rakim z rather than incineroar with fire emzy because vicovolt is holding an akaberry having the damage that a fire type move can deal the zoom of ko is weakable and i get both the electrium z and the stellium z i head back to maui garden where i face guzma for the first time persian needs to fake out galicipa to prevent it from using first impression roxy finishes galicia pot off remember how i said earlier that trainers with higher ai levels are going to become more predictable guzma is one of these trainers although guzma's ariados has both sucker punch and shadow sneak it's gonna click one of its two bug type moves since they are super effective sure enough he presses neither priority move and power gym knocks it out the assumptions i made regarding the actions of high ar trainers are really important for the remainder of the run on route 11 i come across an interesting double battle one trainer has a herd here and the other has a fletchender with quick attack to deal with this i'm going to teach persian the tm protect which i brought from a heiahei heehee city pokemart this way i can fake outflegender and ko heard your turn one with haunter then protect and chao fletchender turn two the only problem with this is that fletcher has flame body which has a 30 chance to burn i scoured the first three islands for alum or rossberry but i cannot find one so i just decide to take the risk fortunately persian does not get burned and i win the battle i apparently could have skipped these trainers as well i backtracked to route 10 to catch the most important pokemon this run a panjam specifically with moldbreaker i'm nicknaming it champ i throw it in pokepelago to eevee train it in attack and speed i'm gonna need every stat point with that finish i move on to tapu village and then the aether house where i read a very weird description of the malasada team skull never learns and it's time to train up pancham for the upcoming totem mimikyu mouldbreaker allows pancham and pangoro to ignore mimikyu's ability disguise which would normally protect it from taking damage from the first attack i evolved pancham into pangora level 32 where it learns bullet punch i stuff it into pokepolago without other pokemon for some reason and take it out at level 50 at which you can outspeed the plus one speed neutral natured mimikyu i need to lead haunter for this trial to be as safe as possible sucker punch takes out both ghastly and haunter which also have sucker punch however i need to use dark pulse on gengar to ko it leaving my haunter vulnerable to sucker punch fortunately i can switch my lead before taking on mimikyu so i bring pangora to the front of the party 100 base power stellium z was enough to take out the mimikyu but it outsped me and ko'd with play ruff i now know with a hundred percent certainty that totem pokemon can have natures as this mimikyu must have had a speed boosting nature to outspeed pangora i level up pangora to level 60 allowing it to both outspeed a plus one stage mimikyu with the speed boosting nature and to nearly always ko gengar with bullet punch with that done pangoro at speeds and ko's mimikyu i defeat plumeria but teen skull steals a yongus forcing me to infiltrate po town start the compilation [Music] um [Music] the battle against guzma goes exactly the same way as the first time with both of his pokemon going down in persian lily gets kidnapped and gladion takes his rage out on us like with nihiligo and howe we're about to face a back to back battle the gladion first and now new second gladion leads golbat and nanu leads to sableye with fake out this means i have to lead haunter but a spell tag boosted shadow ball should ko both pokemon shadowball kay's golbat the newly obtained sludge bomb ko sneezel and pangoro's low sweep which would really be brick break ko's type null on to nanu staple light goes down to shadow ball low sweep k was croc rock and i need to send out persian to beat don's persian everything on my team makes up my own persian underspeed's nanu since his evs are maxed out in speed after running a couple damage calculations i determined fake out into rocky mz should always ko the z move was a critical hit but it did not matter aether paradise is filled with a bunch of very annoying battles faba is not one of these i then have to beat three consecutive researchers each possessing just one pokemon i'm lazy so i use the percent accurate sky uppercut on muk instead of the fighting z-moon magniton and porygon 2 both go down to low sweep it's time for the first of four double battles where my partner is not myself unfortunately i made a mistake by knocking out machoke instead of vanillish since how's right you could have ko'd machoke with psychic however i wasn't punished i don't know why i keep making these mistakes was it 3am i don't make the same mistake in the next battle but i press sky uppercut instead of the z move again i'm pretty sure most of the 3am the next battle is with gladion i attacked the magmar expecting electabuzz to attack the slot it can hit super effectively oh i pressed crunch into magmar pokemon with the flame body i could have just pressed the z move yeah it was 3 am time for the last battle with how is a partner baba has three pokemon but his partner is one i ko the legend so i only have to worry about fava side and i expect houzz raichu to ko slober with electro ball he sure doesn't but father yawns into right three crunches later we win the footage for this portion of the run ended there probably for good reason gladian supposedly loses to guzma but we avenge him golispot goes down the same way as before fake out into rocky mz masquerine goes down to power gem pincer is bulkier so a crunch from pangoro is required which also chaos ariados guzma has an existential crisis we learned that the three blonde people in the room are a family the ultra beasts reenact that one scene from chicken little and it's time to battle loose mean clefable goes down to flash cannon pangoro z moves beware to ignore fluffy crunch takes out liligant discharge takes out melodic and crunch takes out miss maggias winning me the battle lucid and guzma phase out to another dimension and i guess i have to save them after obtaining the moon flute i head to sea folk village i obtained the sun flute from executor island and beat team skull for the final time [Music] plumeria gives me the poisonium z and i enter vastpony canyon i level up pangora with a couple rare candies so we can outspeed the alolan dog trio that happy leads with low sweep takes out dugtrio the fighting z move takes out mudsdale and now i'm faced with a problem i have no pokemon that can ko gastrodon crunch only does about 60 percent i'm gonna head back to the place which sold our olivia problem plus jungle there's a rock that can be moved by the new addition to the ride pager machamp after a bit of exploring i pick up the tm for energy ball which i immediately teach to hunter gastrodon goes down to the energy ball and flygon goes down to crunch magneton apparently evolves here so that's cool now it's time to explore the canyon i find the team for dazzling gleam and obtain the ferrium z which will both assist me in the upcoming como trial after teaching hunter dazzling gleam and giving it the ferrium z i take on the trial dazzling gleam easily chaos about jang moho and hakamoto and twinkle tackle ko's como i summon selgalio and head out into ultra space and then i leave ultra space because my pokemon are not strong enough to take on lusamine pokepalago becomes obnoxiously slow around level 60. so i'm going to need to farm rare candies when my pokemon hit that threshold how am i gonna do this lily pups in your pan yellow ranch i catch several lilly pups with the ability to pick up and palago them up to level 50. after every battle one wilder trainer there is a 10 chance of pokemon with pickup will be holding an item assuming that pokemon was not holding an item before after level 50 there is an eight percent chance that this item will be a rare candy with six pickup mods i'm getting a rare candy about once every 20ish battles assuming i take out the other obtained items frequently after i have enough rare candies i head over to route 12 and obtain the tm for taunt which i teach the hunter this will help me against lusa means beware which cannot damage haunter with any move of pain split a status move i witness the most comical angry face i've ever seen followed by the most disturbing scene in a pokemon game loose mean sends out a menacing plus one special defense clef bowl look at that look at the smile and i send out pangoro holding a stellium z corkscrew does enough damage to knock it out contra beats beware with a taunt and two sludge bombs i leveled up persian to a much higher level than the other pokemon on my team so could outspeed a miss magnus with maxed out speed ev's a plus one night slash destroys miss maggias sledge mom k is little again and magnzone beats melodic i have defeated loose mean i catch solgaleo with a master ball and it's time to head to mount lanakila before that i give persian a hard stone which boosts the power of rock type moves and pangora the titanium z time to face gladion i lead persian into gladion's crowbat i don't press fake out because crobat has inner focus making it immune to flinches a hearthstone boosted power gem k owes it spell tag boosted shadow while chaos lucario which had quick attack the fight z move chaos silvally and a bullet punch chaos we vile before it can possibly ice shard how is next shadow ball takes out raichu kamala goes down to brick break bloom doomed from haunter kills vaporeon and shadow ball takes out decidueye it's almost time to take on the elite four i'm going to teach haunter psychic to help with the fight against hala i purchased the iron plate from the mall in holy city go to seaward cave to pick up an expert belt and then the oolulo desert to grab the psychem z the final five trainers are left i give the psychiamzee to haunter so i can kohala's hareyama i start off on the wrong foot and lead magnazone into hariyama why is magnazone at the front of my party you ask i moved it there just in case i had to battle a trainer in the desert magnus zone is steel type so does immune to sandstorm damage either way this is not a problem because hala has a good ai this means he always versus fake out turn 1 assuming you didn't lead a ghost type this fact allows me to safely switch into haunter shattered saikikeo's haryama while psychic takes out primate beware and kerbominable magnazone's discharge chaos polywrath and that's one elite four member down before olivia i'm gonna give pangoro the expert belt this allows it to ko all five rubric pokemon relicanth goes down the brick break carving to bullet punch and the lykan rock probopass and golem down to brickbrick two members down before acerola i give hunter the ghost tmz this allows it to kill her first pokemon sableye after that palace and delmaes go down the shadow balls i need pangora to bullet punch ferocious because it has ice shard hunter ignores aftermath by using shadowball into driftblim and that's three members down before kahili i give pangoro the fightinium z and magnazone the expert bell i lead pangoro because her first pokemon skarmory has sturdy a 190 base power z move based off of hammer arm is enough to take it out manda buzz goes down to an expert belt boosted discharge power gymko's oricorio discharge takes out to cannon and the hard stone boost allows power gem to kill crobat before the champion i teach honduras sludge bomb again and give it the poisonium z i also give pangoro back the expert belt the final battle against professor kukui begins he sends out lycanrock as i send out pangora like rock goes down to bullet punch but the next pokemon is primarina to which i plan to send out magnazone primarina has two not very effective moves moonblast and hypervoice its other two moons are sparkling arya and aquajet two neutrally affecting water type moves aquajet would be worrying but due to kukui's ai unless the pokemon is in range of aquajet he will press sparkling aria because it does more damage he does not quit aquaja as expected and discharge picks up the chaos brick break kvs snorlax bullet punch kyozolo and ninetails haunter's acid downpour ko's braviary and fittingly champ ko's magnazone making us champions i am declared as alola's first ever champion and the run is over or is it i'm suddenly forced to enter the ruins of conflict and the game still is not saved yet what is happening hello apparently i have to battle topukoko this is horrible because none of pangora's moves can actually one hit keiotapukoko not even a critical hit from hammer arm will do the job though there's also a small chance koko will outspeed pangoro if i turn the game off now i'll be reset to a point where i have to battle kukui again i don't have a reliable way of koing his lycanroc without taking damage unless i lead pangoro so i'm stuck so that ends the run sorry guys it looks like you can't beat sun and moon without taking just kidding coco is not a trainer so running is an option if you can't win just don't battle the game finally saves and i've shown that you can in fact beat pokemon sun and moon without taking damage i find out my final time 40 hours and 54 minutes not bad i'll save one more time one more time for the fans remember if you liked the video like the video and if you
