Anyone may edit this page. |
This page is intended to be a source of information about low-base stat total (referred to as BST) challenge runs. The idea or "spirit" of the challenge is to prove the usefulness of very weak fully evolved Pokémon that GAME FREAK took a good look at and said "Yeah, that's good." While playing through and beating games with these Pokémon, the player main gain an insight into why these species were designed to be they way they are, and gain a greater appreciation for them as a whole.
Information that can be found here includes:
- Which Pokémon are available to use, when they can be obtained, and the versions they appear in
- Recommended versions to play
- Tips and strategies
- Sample teams
- More coming soon...
Pokémon that become available after first watching the credits roll are not listed. The exceptions to this are HeartGold and SoulSilver, which have the battle with Red atop Mt. Silver, as well as Scarlet and Violet, which have most of the content contained within The Indigo Disk.
Ruleset
The maximum BST per Pokémon is generally 400, but in games where less than 6 unique Pokémon are available, the limit is adjusted to allow for a full party.
Non-fully evolved Pokémon (referred to as NFEs) are banned from the challenge starting in Generation V due to the held item Eviolite, which causes them to be much bulkier than other Pokémon with similar BSTs. In earlier Generations, the usage of NFEs is up to the the player, though discouraged (and not covered on this page). Allowing NFEs widens the pool of available Pokémon by a large margin. Some Pokémon (such as Kadabra) have proven to be extremely powerful despite their low BSTs. Others, such as starter Pokémon, are only available to be used in their first stage, making them an experience sink that will fall off in the mid-to-late game. Additionally, Everstone usage and canceling evolution on every level up is an annoyance factor. Eviolite itself is also banned from use on earlier evolutions of eligible Pokémon, mostly for simplicity's sake.
Other Pokémon that are banned from the challenge include Ditto and Smeargle due to their moves Transform and Sketch, as well as Shedinja and Wishiwashi due to their Abilities Wonder Guard and Schooling. Additionally, forms of Pikachu that are unaffected by Eviolite are banned due to the held item Light Ball, which effectively makes their BST 523.
Mega Stones are banned, due to Mega Evolution increasing all applicable Pokémon's BSTs well above the maximum.
Additional rules, such as item restrictions and level caps (often seen in Nuzlockes), can be applied to this challenge as well. If items are allowed, Wobbuffet is banworthy due to HP-restoring items enabling it to counterattack repeatedly.
As with any challenge, it is also reccomended that the game be played in Set mode.
Generation I
BSTs in this Generation are calculated on the modern scale by doubling the Special stat.
The Blue column in this table refers to the japanese Blue Version, which differs from the International release that was based on the japanese Green Version.

The recommended game for this set is Green (English Blue). The reasoning is as follows:
- Beedrill and Lickitung are available
- Porygon only costs 6,500 Coins, as opposed to 9,999RY/8,300JB
- Caterpie is more common in the wild than in Red, and can be found at a higher level
- Butterfree's Confusion is more useful against Brock than Beedrill's Poison Sting
Tips and strategies:
- Lickitung is the only available Pokémon capable of learning Surf
- If planning on playing Stadium, try not to level up past Lv50
- Choose Squirtle as a starter Pokémon in order to make battles with Blue easier
- In Mt. Moon, pick up TM12 (Water Gun) on 1F
- On Route 24, pick up TM45 (Thunder Wave)
- On the S.S. Anne, pick up TM08 (Body Slam) on 1F

- If using Hitmonchan, purchase TM17 (Submission) on 2F
- In the Rocket Hideout, pick up TM10 (Double-Edge) on B3F
- In Saffron City, speak to Mr. Psychic to receive TM29 (Psychic)
- In Silph Co., pick up TM26 (Earthquake) on 10F
- If using Lickitung, pick up TM03 (Swords Dance) on 7F
- In the Pokémon Mansion, pick up TM14 (Blizzard) on B1F
- Lorelei is difficult, but can be brought down by a combination of a Thunderbolt user, Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan, and a Mega Drain user for cleanup
- Bruno and Agatha are completely swept by Psychic, though Earthquake may come in handy for the latter
- Lance folds to a BoltBeam user, with Onix's Rock Slide being useful for revenge kills

The recommended game for this set is Sapphire. The reasoning is as follows:
- Both Roseila and Sableye are available
- While Mawile's Intimidate is useful, Sableye has no weakness in this Generation
- Battles against Team Aqua are easier than those against Team Magma
- Tate and Liza are near-insurmountable in Emerald due to their Claydol's Earthquake

Tips and strategies:
- Lickitung is the only available Pokémon capable of learning Surf
- Choose Squirtle as a starter Pokémon in order to make battles with Blue easier

Generation IV
Sinnoh-based games

The following Pokémon are available after entering the Hall of Fame:
The recommended game for this set is HeartGold. The reasoning is as follows:
- Ariados is available
- While Ledian can potentially abuse Baton Pass, Ariados has access to Night Shade and priority moves
- Caterpie is available earlier
- Butterfree's Confusion is helpful against Proton, Bugsy, and Silver in Azalea Town

The recommended game for this set is Black. The reasoning is as follows:

- Since Basculin has low defenses, avoiding recoil damage is less useful than the boost in power Take Down and Double-Edge receive
Black 2 and White 2
Although the maximum BST for these games is 420, Azumarill is not listed due to its Ability, Huge Power, which effectively makes its BST 509.

420 | 0 Badges | B2 | W2 |
The recommended game for this set is White 2. The reasoning is as follows:
- More Pokémon are available
- A Flame Orb can be found in Reversal Mountain rather than a Toxic Orb
Generation VI
Kalos-based games
The recommended game for this set is X. The reasoning is as follows:

Tips and strategies:
- Luvdisc is the only available Pokémon capable of learning Surf before it is required, and is also the only available Pokémon capable of learning Waterfall
- Choose Froakie as a starter Pokémon in order to make battles with Calem/Serena easier
- Shauna is only battled twice, and her starter only has a Fire-type move in the second one, by which time the player has access to plenty of options to counter it
- All Balls thrown on Route 2 are a guaranteed capture

- On Route 6, avoid battling the Poké Fan Family, as their two Furfrou are very difficult to beat at this point
- After obtaining HM01 (Cut), backtrack to Route 5 and pick up a Sharp Beak
- After dealing with Snorlax, pick up a Silver Powder on Route 7
- Decline to battle every Sky Trainer encountered, as Butterfree and Ledyba/Ledian are not equipped to handle the multitude of Flying-type moves these Trainers use
