I wanted to do a delta-only hard mode playthrough after completing my first hard mode playthrough and am wondering if it will be way too extremely difficult without trading.
its 100% possible the e4 isnt that hard if u have a good team
I’m going to have to disagree here and say that it’s probably impossible without some extreme luck. I distinctly remember having a lot of difficulty with the trainer school tournament in hard mode, and that was with a full team. I’ve checked the wiki, and the earliest non-starter delta you can obtain is cake dwebble, which you can get by trading a totodile… Which are found in route 2, after Midna town and the tournament.
So, without any trading, you’d be stuck with only your starter against three teams of three, and while the first match is easy… The other two aren’t. Maybe you can overcome them with item spam, but I wouldn’t count on it.
After the trainer school tournament, though, you can get cake dwebble, delta aipom, and delta grimer before your next major fight against Orion, so it might be doable if you relax the rules to allow you to use non-deltas until then.
well charmander gets confuse ray at lvl 10 lets assume that you 2 shot first 2 mons with twister so 3 turns with 2 confusion hits and then the wartortle lets say you 3 shot it so it needs to hit itself 3 times in a row so its 7 confusions in a row and thats 0,5^7 the odds of that happening are 0.0078125 but you can get a crit which means that our chances are slightly higher BUT we can increase our chances of winning by ev training nvm we cant wartortle has a 9,3 of being 4hko with twister so that means its almost fukcing impossible to do this with charmander
