Btw you need to predict the ronin for this to work. Doing this reactively means your pekka will still get nuked and you'll be down a lot of elixir

Thanks for the free Archer Queen ig

If my mini account decks look wierd that's bc I chose a lot of those cards based on their level rather than deck synergy lmao.

Doing some clan war battles and the moment I use the ballon deck my opponent has 7 ant-air cards. Don't ask me how I won this bc I don't know either lmao.

The Pokédex groups Pokémon into different shapes, so I did 14 challenge runs with only Pokémon of specific shapes.

It's been around 3 months since the challenge started, and it was very fun! This ROM hack's sheer variety of pokémon and high difficulty is perfect for challenges like this one. I also improved a lot as I progressed through the runs, culminating in the insanity that was the pokémon league in the legs run. It was 100% worth tho, but I don't think I'll be playing this game again for a while after this lmao.

Also, almost forgot to mention this, but Sticky Web might gennuinely be the best move in the game lmao.

BTW, for sake of simplicity I used the base form's shape for the RR exlusive megas and banned all seviian forms.

The Pokédex groups Pokémon into different shapes, so I decided to do challenge runs with only Pokémon of specific shapes. In the end, I completed the following runs:

• Gathering
• Round
• Insect
• Wobbufett
• Multi-leg
• 🐟
• Four Wings
• Snek
• Two legs and tail
• Quadruped
• Geodude
• Two Wings
• Humanoid
• Legs

For the most part, this run wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. However, it still cements itself as not only the hardest run of the shape challenge, but also my hardest radical red run yet, because the league was MISERABLE. Bruno and Agatha weren't too bad, but then Lorelei and the champion were really annoying and required a lot of luck to get thorugh. And then there was Lance... who was so hard that it ended up being the only fight in this entire challenge that I ended up using savestates to get past, bc the amount of stuff that had to go right just to get a win was unreasonable. Turns out I ended up relying a LOT on webs throughout the entire run, and, from a direct quote from yours truly in the insect run: "the fight that gave me by far the most trouble was Lance, since his team has a bunch of mons immune to webs".

MVP was a tie between Mr.Fish and Kirby. The former I shiny hunted for an hour at 8x speed and was my main damage dealer throughout the mid and late game and the latter was the best support pokémon a man could ask for, with access to webs, cotton spore and endavor, as well the unburden ability to enable the rest of my team of leggy bois. This run would gennuinely be impossible if it weren't for them.

I'll post the final hall of fame compilation later today, and for anyone crazy enough to attempt this run, here's the team comp I used for the final fight: https://pokepast.es/1e6e4bb0ae1be3cf

For sake of simplicity I'll use the base form's shape for the RR exlusive megas and ban all seviian... why am I even typing this? The runs are over... eh force of habit ig.

Easy enough, as was expected. MVP was Greninja, this thing is crazy good in this game bc of how fast and strong it becomes after Battle Bond activates. Once again running webs, this time on Slurpuff, who I orginally considered for Unburden + BDrum shenanigans, but since it was my only webs setter sadly that wasn't really possible. The other 4 were... pretty good, but I was kinda disapointed by mega machamp, I thought it would be a lot better than it was but even with webs support it's just too slow.

So, the final shape... yeah looking at the roster size things are looking very dire. We have a roster of only 7 fully evolved pokémon (8 if counting P2), and the only one that truly stands out is Dracovish, but even that can't carry an entire run on its back. Good news is that I can pair Dracovish with webs, the bad new is that the best webs available setter is... Swirlix (basically my slurpuff from the previous run but worse). By this point tho, I can't really back down, especially after completing the previous 13 runs, so wish me luck ig.

For sake of simplicity I'll use the base form's shape for the RR exlusive megas and ban all seviian forms (btw I now deeply regret this latter decision Seviian Dodrio would've been crazy good for next run).

Sooo I was trying to fish up a Poliwag for my humanoid shape run, but I was in cerulean instead of celadon since apparently I can't read lmao. Ended up finding this bozo just before realizing my mistake tho, so thats cool. Obviously I can't use it, it's a fish that isn't = even close to being humanoid, but it acts like a good luck charm ig (also yes I had the shiny charm so the odds weren't THAT low)

While this run was not as easy as Two legs and tail (aka godzilla shape) and quadruped, it was still quite easy, as expected. Turns out most of my roster being flying-type wasn't that much of an issue at any point of the run, even brock and surge ended up being quite managable. MVP was Mega Aerodactyl, 150 speed with tough claws is insane lmao. That being said the rest of team was really good too, especially when backed up by orbeetle's webs. Btw this is (I think) my first ever RR team where none of the members had any priority moves at all, as I already had plenty of speed control, so dealing with the champion's ditto was a lot harder than anticipated, but turns out all I need to do is make it transform into my gliscor to get the win.

Humanoid is another shape with a crazy large roster, so it acts as a nice calm before the storm that will be the last run... You know what I will just explain what I mean by that on the next post since just typing about the legs shape rn is already making me shiver...

Remember when I said this run would have an easy late game due to all the legends you get? Well turns out that the tapus are post game exclusive, making this run significantly harder than I thought it would. That being said it was still easier than Gathering and Multi-leg lmao. MVP this time is Diancie, Diamond storm is a crazy move as it turns out. Aside from her and lando tho, the rest of the team was kinda underwhelming, but they still pulled through in the end, and thats all that matters ig.

Two wings has a decently large roster, with an balanced spread of options for all stages of the game, so this shouldn't be that hard. The one problematic matchup I'm concerned about is Brock (poor Rowlet can't solo this one), but depending on how dire things get I can get Gligar or Flamigo from the wonder egg or mystery gifts lmao

Sorry to keep you waiting! My laziness got the best of me and also deltarune chapter 5 happened lmao. I will try my best to end this challenge b4 the new update comes out, but I won't promise anything :P

Another very easy run, in fact only slightly harder than the previous one. I thought shell smash H-Samurott would have easily been the mvp but it was a lot more balanced than I expected considering the league's power level lmao (would have been a lot better if paired with a-ninetales or cyclizar but whatever). Terrakion, Skeledirge and Venu all exeeded my expectations, Garmanitan was just as broken as expected (100% mvp in the league btw), and honestly luna was here more for emotional support than anything else lmao (tbf he helped a lot in the run... prior to the league, at least).

Geodude is the kind of shape that, despite its limited roster, will probably still not provide much of a challenge since the mons themselves are VERY good. That only applies to the late game tho, since most of the good mons here are legendaries, so the early and midgame might end up a little tricky.

Turns out Rare Ebarbs are really good into rare tombstone lmao

Yeah that was very easy, as I expected lmao. The league in particular got obliterated, only Lorelei and the champion required two atempts and the others fell first try. Ngl this is probably the strongest team I ever used in a RR playthrough, all mons were incredible this time, tho I if I had to choose a MVP, I'd choose the cat (pre-nerf protean on meows is crazy).

Quadraped also happens to have a crazy large roster, tho it seems a bit worse than the previous one. That being said I feel like the run is still gonna be easy, to the point where I don't even think it's worth to gamble with the wonder eggs for Solgaleo, since that will probably definetly take forever.

Not that difficult overall, as expected, except the Elite 4 and champion which were a huge pain to get through, probably the hardest pokémon league since the multi-leg run. Gyarados and Steelix were both consistently incredible, both with and without mega-evolving, while the other 4 had some amazing moments as well but were much more inconsistent.

Considering what I had to work with up to this point, the next run is going to be probably DEFINITELY the easiest run ever lmao. That list is so big is actually insane (also BIG MAN BLASTOISE). So yeah there's not really much else to comment on, I'll just win so easily its not even funny.

This was another run wih basically zero early game options, as most encounters are good rod+ exclusive for some reason, so I basically only had Popplio... and magikarp, so once again, to avoid gambling with mystery gift/egg, I ended up using cheats to get extra mons early game. Aside from that, the run wasn't nearly as hard as the last one, with Mega Sharpedo in particular far exceeding my expectations, while mr. Catfish had one great moment taking down Blue's Eternatus but was kinda underwhelming otherwise lmao. The other four members were all quite good.

Four wings is yet another shape with basically just bug-types, just like insect, only this time there's no crabs to bail me out, only iron moth and crobat ig. I have genuinely no clue on how to get past Brock or Falkner, and the early game seems like it's going to be absolute TORTURE in general, but once I get the mega ring post Surge and acess to Sticky web on Ribombee this will become a lot easier... hopefully.
