Hi vp,
I'm doing a playthrough of Leaf Green and decided to attempt a solo run as in I only use the starter and no other pokemon as far as I can.
Which of the three kanto starters will let me get the furthest? In regards to move pool/stats. Ty.

Bulbadaur gets you through all gyms eady besides sabrina and Blaine, and you also might struggle with Lorelei. Squirtle is a pretty good bet too, but erika and surge will be difficult. Charmander is trash

I remember doing a single mon run in Blue with Squirtle; when Bite was Normal-type and you could get Ice Beam in TM11 on the roof of the celadon dept store--

Bite could handle things that water was shit against, Surf and Hydro Pump were my pocket rockets with 20pp between them, and Ice Beam blew Lance the fuck out.

Not sure if this would be as good a strat in Gen3, but Charizard a shit and Venusaur will get rocked by Lorelei and all Lance's flyers, and I think Agatha rolls psychic moves too?

I think Blastoise has a better time covering his weaknesses than Venusaur does

Is this a bait? If you are just using one pokemon its gonna be overleveled anyway. You can solo the game with a magikarp.

First moveset is a all out attacker. Idea is to use growth to increase damage and depending on whom you're facing; you use the specific move.

Earthquake for electric, fire, poison, rock, or steel mons. Razor leaf for water, ground, or rock. And sludge bomb for grass pokemons.

Order of gyms you should go to

1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 7, 3, 5. Your only weakness will be Sabrina but you should be grossly over leveled at that point.

The other moveset is a defenseive setup with focus on Defense, Special Defence, and HP. Set up Leech Seed and Toxic on first two turns and switch between protect and giga drain every so often in order to stall the other mon out.

Also yeah, this. Maybe not a magikarp without a bit of additional grinding (i can't see a lv 100 karp tackling through Bruno without needing a Costco-sized bundle of ether) but you could solo the game with anything else.

Anything that's either neutral or adds to special attack without distracting from attack or speed, imo, defenses won't matter because you'll be overleveled to fucksville and just want to maximize OHKO potential

Probably Squirtle, he suffers vs Surge and Erika, but is great both in the earlygame and for everything past Erika
Easily best vs E4

Bulba is great too.

Charmander is bad

Your best bet is to go all out attacker. Choose a nature that increases your Physical attack as fire types whom are weak to earthquake will be your biggest hurdle. Detract from defense since you want special defense to stay up to protect against psychic mons.

Leafgreen solo runs are easy, you should be okay with just about any pokemon. Bulbasaur would be the easiest.

Pic related, result of my last leafgreen solo run.
moveset was
-Return
-Quick Attack
-Dig

When you get to E4:

Teach it (reteach) the following moveset

Sleep Powder
Razor Leaf
Earthquake
Giga Drain

On the Ice Elite, use grass type moves as it will be super effective against them.
On the fighting elite, use special moves like razor leaf or giga drain since they have poor special defense. Make sure to sleep powder them.
On Agitha, use earthquake as many are also poison which is weak to ground move. Before you fight her, teach Venosaur Return so he can attack Zubat. Replace giga drain with return.
On Lance, make sure to sleep powder as many of the dragons can one hit kill you.

Blue, use sleep powder on pidgeot. Then return it to death. Alakazam, use sleep powder and return it to death. Rhydon, use razor leaf. Exeguctar, use return and make sure you stock up on health potions. Gyrodos use razor leaf and earthquake charizard.

Whenever I play FRLG I just stomp through the entire game with Charmander. I always wind up having Charizard before Misty, so that takes care of things. Then for the rest of the game I'm 20 levels higher than everyone and spamming Flamethrower to win.

Giga Drain only has 5 PP in generation III. Razor leaf is better.

Any of the 3 will work just fine. Your playthrough will likely be faster and easier with one super stronk mon than a team anyway.

Blastoise is probably easiest because ice attacks deal with lance and champion's Venusaur.

Charizard is probably the most challenging, but still pretty easy.

Venusaur lies in the middle.

Have fun, buddy-boo.
