Is a run where you befriend all types of pokemon possible, a run that could be added?

Who would run it, route it, and not get upset over RNG? This just seems like a very hostile category.

Quite honestly, this category is absolutely doable. We are currently working out a category like this for Blue Rescue Team, but Sky's recruitment mechanics are simply so much more friendly to this sort of run. We are also able to wonder mail in Pokemon joining our team, save for a couple of special exceptions such as Kecleon. The basic idea of the run would be to complete an any% run normally, and then use golden seeds to level a Pokemon in IQ group B or H such as Wigglytuff to level 100 and gradually boost over the course of the run using the IQ booster so that Fast Friend can be achieved. We would also wondermail in an Amber Tear to maximize recruitment efficiency.

Some roadblocks with this run are the legendary pokemon recruited via the Secret Slab, which can be quite annoying to recruit and typically have quite low recruit rates. And obviously, boosting the IQ of the pokemon we use will take quite a lot of time.

But yeah, moral of the story, this type of run is absolutely doable with a minimum amount of RNG. It will take quite a bit of time to complete and especially to route, however it is definitely possible. We will not, however, add the category to the leader board until an actual run has been completed.

If you want to talk more about this run, please, by all means, feel free to hit me up on Discord or Twitch! Thanks.

This seems really fun to route out in terms of which Pokémon to recruit and which ones to WM in... might give it a go in the next couple weeks.
