How I speedran the Scarlet Pokédex Day 1

- *THIS VIDEO CONTAINS MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS*
When Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came out I decided I wanted to be one of the first people to ever complete the Pokedex. This is the story of that speedrun.
Run started just after 10 am EST on November 17th (JP eShop release) and finished at 5:58 pm EST on November 20th. There is only one known recorded pokedex completion (excluding leaks) that finished before this by / @astelleda . That run uses online trading with others for version exclusives making it the first co-op completion. My run, however, is entirely solo and all Violet version exclusives were caught on stream by me using a second switch before being traded to Scarlet, making my run the first solo Pokedex completion.
Want to find me elsewhere? I'm active on these platforms and even stream daily on twitch!

*THIS VIDEO CONTAINS MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS*
Because I complete the whole story and catch every Pokemon, I would not recommend watching this video if you are trying to stay spoiler free. I figured it was implied with the premise of the video but I'm pinning this comment as an extra precaution.
oh okay thank you!
cool
Why didn't you buy the Australian version?
Only saw this comment after I got spoiled xD welp
ME TOO :(
Congrats to all the troopers that survived the stream :D
I never wanna watch him stream ever again
@@ThebedwarsEditmaker 🤓
Wdym from what I heard nobody survived
Bro I survived
The reason that Pawmo didn't evolve was because the step count resets once you end the let's go mode, so it has to level up when it is out. And yeah 1000 steps won't take too long, 3 minutes of walking would be enough.
oh I didnt know it reset, thx for the info lmao
Thank you so much
@@mutaku4287 It does not reset. I accidentaly put my Pawmo back in the ball multiple times. It's just important to keep it out in let's go mode when levelling it up. :)
@@mutaku4287 Sorry, tagged wrong person.
@@dmitrierichsen455 you mean it needs to be outside the ball and given a candy or exp to get it into the next level and only then will it evolve provided you have fullfilled the 1000 steps?
I mean I dunno about the 3 min claim whoever made. I walked my price of crap up and down the desert for 10 two nights back and it's still a fkn pawmo. I hate the thing, gotta do it with 2 more Pokemon yet.
I'd love to see astel's reaction to your solo run
That'd be cool, I was super impressed when I learned about Astel's run! Cool that I wasn't the only one to spend way to long without sleep trying to finish the pokedex haha.
YO IS THAT HIT CZcamsR FIR???
no way! astel, as in holostars?? manifesting for an interaction rn LOL
@@rei_ikko ok
Congratulations Fir!!!!!
Also the other streamer played Violet, You played Scarlet. So you still were the first to complete Scarlet's Pokedex!!
1:26 That feeling when you know 30 hours was a drastic underestimate, lol
42 hours is definitely the time your body starts to tell you it's dying and forces you to want to sleep at any cost.
True I’ve done 72 but at that point you will physically collapse at any second
i did NOT expect to see Holostars/live be mentioned in a Fir video at ALL, wild crossing of worlds.
Sheesh can't you speedrunners ever just PLAY the GAME?!?!!
I kid I kid. Great job! World first looks hella nice on a speedrunning resume. HUGE respect for taking a break when you needed to, that is honestly the most inspiring part of the whole thing. Good on you for taking care of yourself.
Content and clout > enjoying the game
No 😂
@@kizurae and > sleep
Dang it I don't want spoilers for the game so I'll let this video play on my phone in another room, but I will come back and watch the video once I get through most of my own playthrough!
Also Congrats Fir!
The end is very good crnt wait for u to get there
@@frew5757 I'm taking my time so it might take me a while, but so far I'm having lots of fun!
this mad lad legit streamed for almost two days straight before the game even came out where he lives. what a legend.
you are an absolute grinder, Fir! I'm upset I missed the live reaction to the completion but I loved being a part of the journey!
That's some real dedication. Great run!
Great video, I had avoided the steams until I got the chance to play the game. You video did a great job of explaining what you did without spoiling too much of the experience of playing it.
Awesome video!! I was on the stream for 20+ hours watching your progress and this was fantastic time
Congrats on completing the pokedex by yourself! Completing it all by yourself is insane, i would have gone insane if i were in your shoes.
My favorite thing about Astel’s run is that unlike your stream where you just turned the stream off he would just leave the stream on and take 2 naps for a hour throughout the whole thing and just go back to catching pokemon normally. I don’t understand how you guys function at all like this.
Speedrunners be built different
@@Gamesmarts194 Lmao Ive been watching him for 2 years now, he isn’t even a speed runner he did it just because he just wanted to
Didn't he used to speedrun SMO though?
@@Gamesmarts194 Oh I am mostly referring to Astel. I do know about him speed running odyssey tho.
i was able to complete my living dex in 47:13, though i traded for exclusives, im glad to see my time was pretty competitive
I did it in 36 hours trading exclusives
Congratulations again, I enjoyed the stream!
Work kept me from staying all the way until the end, but really enjoyed the stream! You're a mad lad but keep it this way!
This video is great! Cant wait for Fir to do this same thing for the next 2 dlc’s!
This must have been hard with a completely new game as he has to rely on chat and any news to find out what to do or where to go especially with how open the game is so good work Fir
Truly one of the runs of all time
Congrats Fir, you're amazing !
I've never played a Pokemon game before, but I'm still going to watch this because Fir's content is just so fun to watch.
This run was crazy wow nice job
6:36 glad to know I wasn’t the only one to crash at that door it’s the only time the game crashed for me to lost like 30 min of grinding
Putting in the grind, I respect it.
11:07 is the end of the story, for everyone who hasn't beaten the game yet.
"Has he slept yet?"
Fir: "What does sleeping do? Oh wait, you mean in real life!"
For the walking evolutions (pawmot, bramblin, roller) just walk from mesagoza gate to light house in the beginning area then back to mesagoza and circle back to Los platos. Longest route possible. It got roller evolved without having to count steps.
Great Job Fir!
Congratulation!! 🥳
man, it was so fun watching the streams
I don’t even play Pokémon and that was amazing to watch. Well done!
Great job!
“Where will you travel? Who will you meet? What will you achieve.

ASK
Amazing content keep it up
The easiest way to evolve the Walk Count evolutions is ride Koraidon/Miraidon in a circle while dashing while the Pokemon follows you. Took me two and a half minutes every time.
Hey Fir… I just want to tell you that Australia doesn’t have many committed people to be in a 50 hrs stream just to complete a pokemon Pokédex…. Well done haha - Cruncha from Australia
One thing that might’ve helped is the fact that version exclusives can be caught by the other version while playing together online
Welp that's a game changer
btw fir, if you crash, you can press the up button from the cross pad, and x + b on the right controller to get the backup, which is the last time you healed from a pokecenter
Nice job!
Congratulations
Your last Pokemon was my favorite one from this Gen and literally decided which game I chose lol
Congratz bro.
Its cool how you were the first person to complete the pokedex
Great Job!
The way I relate so much to the Arvin fight 💀
Congrats! I tried to do this challenge and I'm only 250/400 way there (scarlet). Great job and honestly, best of wishes for me lmfaoo.
Those let's go evolutions you could just walking in circles by holding forward and looking right then in 1 minute or less it can easily evolve
The absolute mad lad
your pronunciation of Annihilape caught me so off guard lmao but congrats and good job! I'm at 392 right now, plan to finish it tonight or tomorrow
this was great content
Imagine doing all this with only 10fps. Absolute madlad!
I absolutely did the same thing like you, but I did the ice gym third and it was a real struggle lol
When speedrunning is an addiction
Wait, Astel from Holostars? Damn...
Of course the only one to beat fir at an insane challenge like this is a goddamn Vtuber (all love to astel tho, he's great you should check him out)
I got my game at like 9 pm on the 18th, so I had to start a little late but still managed to complete the Pokédex
Props man
gotta catch
em all
I love how you called your lizard a dog. That's a good dog.
someone shouldve told him New Zealand exists, they got the game 4 hours before Japan :P
Yeah I realized when I woke up on Thursday that I picked the wrong region when there were already tons of people streaming lmao
Congrats on the large feat! I could not do what you do 😅
How’d you like the story btw? I’d love to hear your thoughts since that was on the back burner for this video premise.
Me who don't have the game yet...
Good video tho, keep the good work Fir!
I can't imagine playing video games for that long!
Of course Iona wanted in on your Mario Hide & Seek success
You do pokemon!🤯🤯🤯
Oh gnarly
Respect. After 40 hours of grinding non-stop slept for only 6 hours and completed the grind. Mad respect. I would never grind like that
Thanks for changing the thumbnail!
In Australia we got the game at 8 am AEST so yea ig we got really lucky
Favourite Fir moment:
My first Fir stream
Least favourite Fir moment:
Skipping my homework that was already overdue to watch my first Fir stream.
Bro didn't sleep for 42 hours just so he could play Pokemon. Mad respect
Yoo Astel the vtuber made it into Fir's video lmao, its cool tho that u solo'd the challenge
I did a solo run too, not once but twice. For both of my switchs
10:35 When I beat that Nemona fight, I won with 1 Pokémon left at 1HP. 👍
I like how it says sword and shield as the game
Fir is so cool and smart!
I feel like one of the best Pokémon for catching is kingambit with defiant because it can raise its attack when a stat is lowered and it has one of the highest attack stats in the game. And it learns false swipe to
thanks for letting me know i had rewards in my pokedex😭 im already 300 in
I think you win this contest. Soloing it would be much harder.
Easiest way to catch all pokemon is get a pokemon that can learn false swipe. Level it up to 70+. False swipe knocks the opposition's HP to 1HP therefore easy to catch.
He really flew all the way there just to play pokemon😆. SIGN ME UP!!!( by the way keep up the good vids and content).
You should try the New Zealand store if you ever have to do this again. They're 2 hours ahead of Australia.
The fact that there are 2 more Pokemon to evolve with walking is funny
I also found out for the pawmi evo line that you have to use ZR to have it run around. From my understanding if you use R instead it won’t count
3:53 clout chaser got me
This is when being Australian comes in handy.
Amen fellow aussie brethoren
@@ProverbialSandwich Videogames and movies we get them early I think this means we are better
@@mcpikachu_bob3876 truly
Meanwhile here i was hearing about a lvl 40 bossfight on the first route and grinded up a 6 man team on the beach to win said fight only to find out later thats its a god damn cut szene
my brain told me to not watch this because i hadn't beat the elite four yet. (i beat all 5 titans and all 8 gyms, like 3 team star bases and had tried the elite four once and failed lol)
for some reason i still watched it.
the story seems good atleast
That pronunciation oh annihilape killed my soul
Yeah I didn't know about the items until I completed the Pokedex too.
Funny thing with the start and you buying the japanese version to play early: I live in Germany and for whatever reason I got my copy on Thursday, one day before release. I also could play it without problems.
Congrats on being the Fir_st
I was not expecting a holostar to show up lmao
they need a category a part for solo run or trading run xD
I love it when he says "pokeymon" and "pokeydex"
Don't worry the first gym I went to beat was the normal type gym. I had level 15 pokemon and Larry's were 30. Needless to say I had to cheese it. I spammed double team on my rockruff as komala put me to sleep
I must say… buying scarlet was a blessing in disguise for reading paradox mons. I think everyone and their mom bought violet.
