| 1 | + | Pokemon Stadium - Petit Cups - Transfers ONLY from new game FAQ: |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | Q: What is this run? | |
| 4 | - | A: Basically, only use transfers to beat the Little Cups, while starting from a new file of Crystal. So you have to play through the game and build a team to the point you then beat the Little Cups. |
| 4 | + | A: Basically, only use transfers to beat the Petit Cups, while starting from a new file of Yellow. So you have to play through the game and build a team to the point you then beat the Little Cups. |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | The reason it is transfers only, is because otherwise the fastest method would be to to just use Rentals to avoid the team building altogether. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | Run is also glitchless, as again with glitches you can very easily turn this into being completely uninteresting very quickly. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | - | Q: How are you going so fast in Crystal?? |
| 10 | + | Q: How are you going so fast in Yellow?? |
| 11 | - | A: That's the Dodrio Tower, a mode in Stadium that lets you play GSC at 3x speed, as long as it's connected with a transfer pak. |
| 11 | + | A: That's the Dodrio Tower, a mode in Stadium that lets you play RBY at 4x speed, as long as it's connected with a transfer pak. |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | - | Q: Why is there no colour?? |
| 13 | + | Q: Is Pokemon Stadium from a new save file as well? |
| 14 | - | A: Again, this is part of the Dodrio Tower functionality. In GSC, when you turn on double speed you get Sepia, and at triple speed you get this. In RBY it stays at full colour, but in GSC it does this. |
| 14 | + | A: No, otherwise you couldn't do both the Petit Cups without all the other stuff. |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | - | Q: Is Pokemon Stadium 2 from a new save file as well? |
| 16 | + | |
| 17 | - | A: No, otherwise you couldn't do both the Little Cups without all the other stuff. |
| 17 | + | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | Q: Will you do other cups/parts of the game like this? | |
| 20 | A: Yes, I've done Pika Cups, and Little cups in Stadium 2, and plan on doing some Gym Leader Castle stuff too. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | Q: What is the route for the team you want to make? | |
| 23 | - | A: Yes, I plan on doing Petit Cups too, I've already done Pika Cup, and might do some GLC stuff in both Stadium games. Can also do stuff in Stadium 2 in both Gen 1 and 2. |
| 23 | + | A: There's a few routes I've had in mind, but the one I like the most at the moment is to rush a L30 Abra with 3 support mons, and 2 fillers. |
| 24 | So: L30 Abra with Psychic | |
| 25 | L25 Eevee with Quick Attack, Body Slam, and Double-Edge | |
| 26 | - | A: Basically trying to make a team as early as possible that can win. I have a new route that will be even earlier than I was doing before, and will now only go to Morty, and not hatch any Eggs. |
| 26 | + | L25 Gastly with Thunderbolt (and potentially Self-Destruct and/or Mega Drain - though I'm currently unconvinced if getting these is worth it, especially Mega Drain as that takes a while) |
| 27 | L25 Horsea with Surf and Ice Beam | |
| 28 | - | The main team will be Elemental Punch Abra, Surf Poliwag, and Frustration Rattata. They will be supported by L5 Machop (in game trade who holds the very key Gold Berry item), Onix (in game trade who is just there for team manip to try and get less Scythers), and the real star: Wooper, who is only used for the final most difficult fights, and despite its stats, it has the absolute perfect typing to beat the demon Elekid that Rex has, as well as being able to get sneaky kills on Scyther if it's lucky. |
| 28 | + | and then the 2 fillers, whatever shows up on Route 12 (could be Bellsprout, Oddish, Pidgey or Farfetch'd) |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | - | Q: What about the Odd Egg?? |
| 30 | + | Other considerations that would be potentially useful are a ground type (Geodude/Cubone), but they are annoyingly rare and need some level grinding, and only helpful for electric types. Also considered a L30 Goldeen to use for one particular fight, but the stat requirements are a bit annoying. Also considered going Gastly to L30 instead of Abra, and giving it TB/Psychic/Mega Drain, but it's not as good as Abra for the actually difficult fights - though is better for a lot of the easier fights. |
| 31 | - | A: Yeah I thought about this, but it's too unreliable. If you got Elekid/Magby they could do good work with the Ele punches, but it's not that common. So I'd rather try to win with Abra first, and just use Togepi so the team is consistent. |
| 31 | + | |
| 32 | I would get Poliwag if you could fish a decent level one, but you can't until Route 23, and that requires the Rainbow badge to reach the water, which I'm currently trying to skip. | |
| 33 | - | Q: Why Crystal over Gold/Silver? |
| 33 | + | |
| 34 | - | A: Originally I was thinking about using the Odd Egg, which is Crystal exclusive. |
| 34 | + | Q: Why Yellow over Red/Blue? |
| 35 | - | But now that I'm doing a no hatch run, the fact you can get L5 Abras from the Game Corner is super key (along with Low level Poliwag in the wild is still only in Crystal). |
| 35 | + | A: Abra is obtainable at a higher level is the main reason. Eevee also has Quick Attack at L25 in Yellow, but not in Red/Blue, which is also quite crucial in making the cup safer. |
| 36 | - | This would definitely be doable in Gold/Silver as well, but would need a different route. |
| 36 | + | |
| 37 | Q: Do you know if this will work? | |
| 38 | A: Nope, just mapped out a general idea purely based on theory, I've done no testing at all. Given the nature of this run using multiple games and a transfer pak, the way to test this is with a run |
