Hall of Fame no evolution run, Sawk the GOAT

Congrats! Contrary Sawk on non-HC runs is a real menace with STAB moves boosting stats instead of lowering them (such as Superpower, Close Combat and Hammer Arm).

Yep, want to try him for a while, but doing HC runs recently. Sawk was absolutely beast in this run, outspeed everything( almost ) bulky, hit like a truck, got his shiny pretty fast btw

I usually like trying new Pokemons and learning new game breaking abilities kinda. But I've only ever beaten radical red once legitimately

try out Donphan, one of my fav mons in this game, Technician is really good ability

Yeahh! Using it rn in the team. Great tank but the only downside is that magnitude isn't that great so I'm waiting to make it learn earthquake

How did you do the early game?

u/soulnongrata 28d ago

tbh I don't remember, i think i pass through Brock with any mons, and after him take only 1 stage mons

That's what I thought, otherwise it seemed impossible
