Can You Beat Pokémon Emerald with ONLY Mega Rayquaza?

Pokémon Emerald kaiso is known across

the world as the hardest challenge

imaginable throughout the Pokémon worlds

but in reality how hard can it be if

several people have conquered it in fact

one has even beaten the challenge

without a single death yeah it doesn't

sound too hard to me so I decided to try

something actually difficult and set out

to complete a challenge that not a

single person in the world has ever

accomplished instead of utilizing these

broken and soullessly created teams I'm

going to try to beat Pokémon Emerald

with my favorite Pokemon of all time uh

mega Rayquaza look I know it sounds easy

by using a Pokemon with a base dash of

780 but what you're failing to realize

is that he levels up very slowly given

that he's a legendary it's also

challenging because other trainers

typically have more than one Pokemon

which can make mega Rayquaza feel

outclassed especially given that he has

a four times weakness to ice when Delta

stream isn't active so I'm glad we can

all agree that this is going to be one

of the hardest challenges anyone has

ever attempted so let's start from the

beginning in little rout town I hopped

out of the truck had the game function

normally and received a tiny little mega

Rayquaza of my own after making it back

to the lab Professor bur thanked us and

I named it attempt one to help me keep

track of how many attempts this insanely

hard challenge takes so when it came

time to fight our arrival I tried to

take advantage of our limited move pool

and decid to spam ancient power against

ma Mudkip I know it was scary because

Mudkip can learn Ice Beam which is a

four time super effective move against

mega Rayquaza if neutralizing gas happen

to be active fortunately this mud new

tackle and folded before heading back to

the lab collecting some Pokeballs and

ultimately starting the run since I'm

going to be massively outnumbered in

this entire journey I decided to fight

every single trainer I could to make

sure mega Rayquaza can gather as much xp

as possible surprisingly enough though I

didn't reach the level of Rox Sand's Ace

nose pass by the time I even made it to

rustboro so this gym was not going to be

easy on top of it all Mega Rayquaza has

a minus speed nature so to offset this a

bit I went by the trainer school and

picked up a quick claw which is going to

be crucial in this run yes mega Rayquaza

picked up crunch along the way but we

didn't really have a strong answer to

her dominant team of powerful rock type

Pokémon I mean I know that mega Rayquaza

has a base 780 stats but when you add up

all of her team together they heavily

outranked mega Rayquaza with a whopping

975 so needless to say this was not

going to be easy the Quest for my first

gym badge started out with an ancient

power against Geodude which you might

not see the reason for but it worked out

because this increased every single one

of Mega Rayquaza stats to barely give us

the edge of a rock team and take down

our first Geodude tragically though no

pass lowered our speed significantly

with multiple Rock tombs making this an

unfair battle once again but thanks to a

lucky crit and a defense drop mega

Rayquaza managed to pull through with

Rox Sand's back against the wall though

she threw out her final Geodude sure it

looked Bleak for us but after running a

few quick calculations and a bit of

quick claw luck mega Rayquaza took the

win over rockand and barely made it out

alive sure this gym was tough but my

journey was far from over I know that I

went into this gym a bit underleveled

but it's mainly because a guy like me

refused to use rare candies like I

always say grinding is based and

cheating is cringe so naturally I

grinded out a bit more before stopping a

robbery and set sail to doofer town

after spelunking through the cave and

finding a lost twink it was time to

challenge D's fighting type gym in case

you didn't know Rayquaza is actually a

flying type Pokemon which is super

effective against bry's entire team so I

farmed the entire gem for some free XP

and then pressed the a button whopping

three whole times before collecting

another gym badge I know this one looked

easy but it's really only because of the

quick claw I picked up earlier that

allowed us to move first and sweet Broly

then it was time to set sail and

exterminate all other survivors on the

beach in the name of leveling up as I

was about to enter the museum to conquer

Team Aqua for the first time it dawned

on me since nobody has ever attempted

this Gauntlet of a challenge before this

is the furthest anybody has ever been

and I could not afford to lose progress

so I had to fight every fight like my

life depended on it even though I

couldn't help but to feel scared when

the game were throwing multiple fights

back to back at me somehow mega Rayquaza

persevered and kept attempt one alive

and well before I could tackle the next

gym though the runer of all run Enders

was standing in my way the route one0

Rival Battle luckily prior to this fight

mega Rayquaza get to learn a new move of

Dragon Dance I thought it would be a

strong Dragon move but no it's actually

a very bad move that deals zero damage

oh well here goes nothing a again mega

Rayquaza was drastically outnumbered and

immediately humbled by Lombre fake out

but to see it to the end I had to play

around my outs I had to take advantage

of some type advantages for Lombre and

then abuse Slugma low special defense

with air slash so with only one Mar

stomp remaining I pulled out the big

guns with dragon Ascent this move is one

of the strongest moves ever made but it

lowers both of Mega Rayquaza defenses so

even though it's a highrisk high reward

move it allows us to move onwards to

Watson's gym but first we take out

Wall-E anyways navigating through this

electric gym is difficult given how hard

the gym is to navigate but on the bright

side mega Rayquaza now resists electric

type moves due to my strategic usage of

the Delta stream ability that removes

all of Mega Rayquaza's flying type

weaknesses so now it's time to challenge

Watson and hopefully collect yet another

badge since mega Rayquaza was unable to

One-Shot Voltorb given a poor damage

roll we lost an intimidating 5 HP from

spark roughly 16 more of those and this

run is as good as over over I managed to

waste some more of Watson's heels and

ultimately knocked out the Rogue voltor

before things got too much worse the

Magneton may not have dealt any damage

but leaving mega Rayquaza with a

paralysis is a far worse scar than

anything else now we are at the risk of

getting outsped with a Chance of never

attacking again but this is where quick

claw comes in this circumnavigates all

of our current shortcomings and believe

it or not mega Rayquaza was still able

to take out a manectric but that health

bar is getting low in fact it's almost

yellow so with my back against the wall

mega Rayquaza put it all on the line

with one final Dragon ascent and somehow

Live to Tell the tale tragically enough

though mega Rayquaza is not a good

enough Pokemon to learn all of the

required HMS so no this challenge is

actually impossible because mega

Rayquaza is not even close to being as

good of a Pokemon as Zig zigon maybe I

can just tweak the rules a little bit

and recruit an extra Zig zigon but never

use him in battle so I guess the mega

Rayquaza solar run is still still on as

long as Zig zigon never deals any damage

I mean he's fine to break a few rocks

along the way right then after leaving

Gabby and Tai with some Choice words it

was time to Trek through hen's dry spell

and push the plot forward through this

Montage of a sentence and just like that

we made it to this specific plot point

and learned extreme speed and with the

help of our quick claw it should be even

faster and maybe even stronger but now

it's time for Mega Rayquaza and I to

scale Mount Chimney to challenge our

favorite little Eco terrorist of Maxi

his terrifying mighta puts us at a

drastic disadvantage of lowering our

attack so after trying out Dragon Dance

a couple times it made us faster sure

but air slash didn't deal any extra

noticeable damage I decided to then try

out extreme speed and wow the Dragon

Dance buffed it I guess being faster

just makes us hit even

harder one more extreme speed and Maxi

was done he quickly disappeared in a

Flash so all I really had to do was pick

up a random egg I mean it could could be

anything I guess perhaps even a Shiny

Mega Rayquaza oh yeah there's also a gym

here so let's uh deal with this hot SAA

and prepare to challenge Flanery in this

dreaded battle she has four whole

Pokémon who massively lap mega Rayquaza

and stats given that she is a fire

trainer we don't have a single move nor

have we ever had one that's super

effective against any of her team so the

only way out is to strategize I mean if

one of her Pokémon had gold deck

signature ability of Cloud9 then a

pathetical blizzard would be four times

super effective so uh let's just hope

nothing like that happens her first

newal rudely ignored my dragon's dance

and struck hard with an overheat that

dealt a dangerous amount of Health

before mega Rayquaza fought back with a

quick claw boosted extreme speed then

came Flan's camera up and not even she

was prepared for another quick claw

activation on Extreme Speed making this

speed even more extreme with her Ace now

in the war zone toal knocked mega

Rayquaza down to nearly half health so

you can tell that these battles are

starting to get tough Perle tanked a

whole extreme speed but fortunately

could not take another then all she had

left was a Slugma who was dead to a few

quick calculators and one lone ascended

dragon and that's four badges out of the

way now all I have to do is run directly

to Norman but since this is known as one

of the easier gyms in the game and

didn't serve any challenge before mega

Rayquaza yeah I just collected another

gym badge and oh uh our Zig zagon

evolved just in time to learn surf and

carry us towards for Tree City but first

the weather Institute and uh you've

played this game before right you know

how the story goes but have you ever

attempted it with mega Rayquaza yeah

it's a bit harder okay all we do is take

down a few Grunts and admin for fun and

collect a cast form to keep our new why

not company yeah no uh tragically enough

the egg was not a Shiny Mega Rayquaza

given that this is such a brutal and

unforgiving Pokémon challenge The

Gauntlet of trainers was far from over

for our punan small mega Rayquaza given

that this was one of the most brutal and

unforgiving Pokémon challenges huh that

name kind of has a good ring to it and

it doesn't look like anyone uses it

maybe I should Rebrand and just change

my Logos to triangles or something sure

enough though may had to come back for

more once again her Lombre overpowered

mega Rayquaza with a blazing fake out

before speeding our way through maze

next Maron since I didn't run the Cs for

this one I decided to go with mega

Rayquaza's strongest move but lowered

both defenses and left him vulnerable to

Ma incoming Slugma as you know the food

chain can easily be turned upside down

when one was wounded but due to some

Insane luck mega Rayquaza delivered

another finishing blow and defeated May

once again but you know only barely then

with Steven's new magic trick out of the

way wiona was the only obstacle left in

my path for a sixth gym badge sure the

torturous chamber of puzzles made for

children slowed me down a bit but now we

were face to face with two different

outcomes Victory are failing this

incredibly difficult challenge I've

already put several hours into to

because the hardest part of this battle

is that Winona brought five entire

Pokémon with her keep in mind these

combined base stats are so high that I

would need nearly three whole mega

Rayquaza to make this a fair fight but I

will do my best to see it through I was

of course worried about swabl mega

evolving here but mega Rayquaza finished

them off with one air slash before they

even got a chance of course Altaria is

coming out next and I tried to Dragon

Dance to taunt the Lesser Dragon but to

my surprise they returned it lucky for

me though the move doesn't really do

anything I mean I even checked the Cals

and though most of my moves would kill

Dragon Dance couldn't and it's not like

I'm even the only person who thinks it

might be the worst move ever striking

Altaria with dragn aent Pro fruitful but

risky because now again both of my

defenses are essentially gone and to

defeat Skarmory the Cal said I was going

to have to risk it all once more sure

tropus wasn't going to stand in our way

but then there was peler I only had one

chance to striking down with another

Dragon Ascent since if I missed anything

probably would have killed me through my

minus like eight defenses sure enough

though mega Rayquaza defied all

expectations and collected the sixth gym

badge and a new move that's right a

dragon move that actually deals damage

and as you all probably know the next

chunk of hoen gameplay is something that

I usually skip

over and today is no exception oh hey

welcome back don't worry you didn't miss

much if you can believe it mega Rayquaza

really started start to tear through the

game once you get to this point

eventually I made it to Moz deep and I

know you've never seen this part of the

game due to the Intensive puzzles but it

truly takes a tactician to get this far

in the first ever mega

Rayquaza mega Rayquaza solo run after

flexing my incredible puzzle abilities

it was time to fight Tate and Liza with

our lone soldier and a lenon that is

only going to spam growl after

navigating my way through a very tricky

double battle the final 1V one was

perhaps the scariest battle yet the

enemy cayll was happy and healthy but

mega Rayquaza was down to nearly half

Health that's right we are deep inside

crit range I think so to play it safe I

expertly DOD an oncoming attack with fly

since I recently replaced Dragon Ascent

because it's kind of bad since it lowers

my defenses anyways just look at the

helpless Cay doll's face as they fly

around their psychic strike nearly all

of their health and even had time to

tank the next psychic they had so now

it's time to bring it all home with an

extreme speed but sadly we did not

activate quick claw it was a complicated

battle and I hope you were able to keep

up with how technical all of that was so

with the seventh gym badge in hand all

that there was left to do was battle

with Steven and our incredibly balanced

teams I mean do I even need to say it so

now I have to head underwater and uh

lenon can't learn dive but sure enough

it's time for Mega Rayquaza to come in

clutch since it's essentially like fly

but underwater which is a good thing I

mean we can dodge like twice as many

attacks now no need for a move like

extreme speed anyway since we already

have quick claw equipped too you might

not like it but this move set is

actually what Peak mega Rayquaza looks

like all we have to do now is pick up

the super awesome and strong earthquake

TM and then take down Archie which we

did but only barely then the ego

terrorist terrorized the weather or

something and now it's up to me to

venture off to the Sky Tower and find

some Pokémon named Rayquaza I mean I did

but what the hell is this thing honestly

it doesn't look very strong at all to me

probably it's a quad ice weakness or

something so I use this cut scene as a

sign to take a bathroom break since I've

been going at this for like 18 hours

straight now and you know like all the

action that I needed was going to be

right inside of the final gym it was

definitely a treacherous path getting

there but since this is the furthest a

mega Rayquaza solar run in Pokemon

Emerald has ever been I wasn't going to

go down without a good fight 18 hours

later and it was finally time to collect

the last gym badge in hoen and our fate

opponent was a ravenous love disc yeah

this thing's power is like a third of

Mega Rayquaza but we have to keep in

mind that there's a chance he has four

other love discs in the party there's

really just no way to know these things

ahead of time luckily though mega

Rayquaza Dodge sweet kiss with a

well-timed fly and managed to land the

damage roll that took love disc down but

uh-oh now we have to deal with KRA so

good thing we removed Dragon Dance

because the pulse variant netted us the

kill so then it was time for the rest of

Wan's team to fall to a collection of

Mega Rayquaza's Master tactics before

collecting the final gym badge it's been

a long day but the culmination of our

entire journey is finally coming to

fruition we entered Victory Road we

clutched up against Wally's team and

finally made it to the Elite 4 and as

I'm sure you know once we step through

those doors the beginning of the end

will have finally begun so thanks

everyone for watching and supporting the

series so far okay okay jokes aside for

real this time we're just going to skip

through some of these fights because the

elite for despite their incredibly

overpowered teams that Tower over mega

Rayquaza stats they could not handle the

smoke I mean yeah I just I'm grinding

before the Elite 4 but it's only fair

when I have one lone tiny puny

microscopic mega Rayquaza it took a lot

of time but getting to level 100 feels

like it should make for a good fight

right yes the answer is yes because

believe it or not mega Rayquaza storm

through the best hoen had to offer as a

result of my sheer skill and nothing

else well until we ran into Champion

Wallace who surprisingly actually caused

some issues before we entered the Elite

4 I went back and tweak the move set a

little bit because hey to complete a

challenge of this difficulty you have to

bring everything you got and when the

battle started Wallace opened with wh

Lord perfect exactly what I expected

given that you could never be too safe

in a battle like this I had to run some

calculations and of course there it is a

guaranteed one hit knockout with fly

perfect we might just be able to do this

sure yeah Wallace has a melodic but I

even caled around the possibility of Ice

Beam I mean if the melodic happened to

land 10 of the move they might not even

have we were screwed so it was time to

swiftly take it out with a quick claw

boosted extreme speed before things got

too out of hand then with tinac taking

the stage we ran some new Cs and I

thought it would be best to dodge the

inevitable toxic with the fly

but uh I I I I was wrong he used toxic

and it

and and and it and it worked for some

reason yeah apparently poison types can

never miss toxic like ever like that's a

thing especially since fly is only a

semi invulnerable move like jokes aside

from this video and all uh I didn't know

that you learn something new every day I

guess and now our solo Pokemon run might

actually come to an end since toxic

drains your health based on percentage

which means our level 100 grinding was

ultimately for nothing here and suddenly

things have actually become hilariously

D ah get back into character the next

wish cash goes down to a well-timed

extreme speed but now we're racing

against the clock because every move I

use results in more and more health Lost

it's like health is a resource oh that's

good and if I can be honest I might

actually fail this challenge which sure

I know I'm the Nuzlocke King and this is

the furthest anyone has ever gotten with

mega Rayquaza but oh my God is this

embarrassing embarassing because now

that Gyarados is here his intimidate

activates and somehow our level 100 mega

Rayquaza can no longer oneshot Gyarados

with extreme speed yeah even if quick

claw activates so one Dragon puls later

and we're face to face with the final

Pokémon Luda Colo our health is draining

rapidly and we have a guaranteed win

here with dragon pulse but fly feels so

much more hype here you know first off

there's a chance the move doesn't even

hit it's 95% accurate hype secondly

there's a chance that it doesn't even

kill because of damage rolls hype and

lastly there's a chance we die to toxic

before the second hit even connects

again height so let's try it this move

kills it 100%

kills wait

wait oh we hit those we actually hit

[Music]

those oh my God and just like that I

became the first person in the world to

ever beat Pokemon Emerald with just one

mega Rayquaza and uh unrelated happy

April Fool's

[Music]
