- After taking on the grueling Professor Oak's Challenge in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, I think it's time to jump to the newest generation and see just how difficult it can really be. Today we're going to find out how easily you can complete Professor Oak's Challenge in Pokemon Sword and Shield. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

Especially when he picked Scorbunny and fully evolved it.

I literally beat the entirety of Winona’s gym in the time span of John talking about all of his Wild Area evolutions
All I got from this is that you can catch Snom before the first gym.
The blessed bug
Wade Conroy THE BLESSED ICE BUG
And somehow charmander
Considering most people get charmander from leon in the postgame this is suprising
I was surprised at ditto being available before the first gym
Sadly failed he failed to find the 1% pyukumuku before the first gym pokemom shield
I completely agree with your rules on exploits:
Exploits are fine when they minimise the time that your NOT playing the game, if you had to wait for each den to respawn over and over then you wouldn’t be playing.
Using it for exp on the other hand minimises the time you ARE playing, so it shouldn’t be done.
TopThog This is a great way of looking at it and great explanation. I hate how time is a gate for most of the game and catching Pokémon so I’m happy to use the exploit. Time gates are cheap and lazy development. I understand evolving certain Pokémon at night, but waiting for the right weather all week to catch a single Pokémon? That’s actively stopping us from playing the game, not cool! And not fun.
well said
Fix the last sentence
i dont think i understand? ): yes the dens take a way long time to spawn, but the only fast/easy way for them to refresh is by defeating each raid, which is not only good for xp candies and tms, but its faster than waiting for them to refresh. idk.
you only use the exp gain for when the game's complete.

Team Yell: You cant get passed us until you do more story lol.

Old leveling system: You took everything from me
Exp Candies: I don’t even know who you are.
I don't know who they are, but I know what they are. SUPERIOR!
@@wallybrown1341 tbh i wished leveling was this easy in other games as well. I just did a monotype nuzlocke with grass type in hoenn. Let me tell you, leveling was scary because of the amount of pokemon that had supereffective moves against me the entire game. Not fun lmao
@@AlCapwndYou05 I can imagine... Grass, if I'm not mistaken, has the most amount of weaknesses of ANY type. Weak to Poison, Fire, Ice, Bug, and Flying. 3 of those types, Fire, Bug, and Flying, are EXTREMELY common.
Rock- and Ice-types said hi.
Ariel Damatto Grass isn’t weak to rock
Great video!
Here's a challenge idea: How easily can you collect all the medals in Black 2 and White 2
Edit: Yes, I have seen the video.
I like this idea, more likes so John sees!!!
Swagster 1000 which also rules out the “all medals” medal
This is the most requested challenge to date
Some Medals are unobtainable by now, but I like that idea
I can see it working, considering some ribbons werent obtainable either
“scorbunny gets the least amount of love”
visible confusion
Just a question
Which starter gets the least love?
@@devashishtripathi3560 grooky easily
Devashish Tripathi yeah grookey is easily least picked
@@jgilly0 Hmm , I wonder why
Sword and Shield have the biggest dilemma for choosing starters after probably Red and Blue and the remakes
@@devashishtripathi3560 because they are all bad
I guess Prof Oak Challenge was never envisioned for something like the wild area, it's insane. I can see why it would be fun on older games, since I tend to push myself to catch everything on a route before progressing, but the wild area completely broke the challenge.
How? the game clearly lays out a path of progression. You encounter a strong looking Pokémon then you go to another area and rinse and repeat. You go back the next day and if the weather changed there will be different Pokémon and you still can’t catch strong looking variants which will almost always be grouped together
@@connerSphotography raid dens is why its insane

People asking for Unova don't get it. He did SwSh while doing Unova.
He is still on the 1st gym. He is getting 1xp each kill for his starter. In the johto video he said that it was the second worst. Unova is hell and back.
Oh god... THIS was him taking a break...
Gen 7 is worse
@@ze_xxiv5968 I was about to ask about Gen 7

29:59 not gonna lie was hoping he'd get the special 1% sinistea
The first and only Sinistea I caught was the authentic. The only issue is I can't get the Chipped pot for the life of me XD
I’m getting it tomorrow, the chipped pot, the guy on the right finally sells it
John: And polte- Oh.... It's a Rare Sinistea! I just gonna wait A while for the Chipped Pot!
Dude, I wanted a COMPLETE living dex, so it took me forever to get two of the 1% forms so I could evolve one and keep the other.
you can't get authentic sinistea via raid. it's only in glimwood tangle.
It always throws me off how different your voice sounds at the begining in regards to the end. I feel like I'm at the wrong channel *laughs*
20:06 Gen 8 Pokérap, starring Johnstone.
Lolll
16:20 Snom
Because Snom is important.
i actually found a shiny snom and i evolved it and used it on my team. its a good lead with its decent speed and special attack. but its a glass pistol if you will
If you have ice scales it’s a special wall/QD sweeper
@@sceptical8694 mine has shield dust, if i can get an ability changer then ill look into switching it
Mekelaina It’s a hidden ability so you can’t ability capsule it, but I can trade you a hidden ability one if you want
@@sceptical8694 damn that sucks. i appreciate the offer but i could breed for one. i dont have online so trading isnt an option atm
Sword actually has FOUR more before the first gym (totaling 293) as in addition to the version-exclusive Farfetch'd, Sirfetch'd, Darumaka and Darmanitan, Mareanie (and thus Toxapex) can be caught in 1-star raids only in Sword. Meanwhile Shield's only exclusives this early are Ponyta and Rapidash.

I want John to throw everyone for a huge loop and make a video about Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.
I don't know if an Oak's challenge would work for those games. Every Digimon is related by evolution to every other Digimon, so aside from the few that need key items/progression (armors, Spirits, Hackmon and Royal Knights in Vanilla CS, Hudiemon and the Arcadiamon line in HM), it might be technically possible to acquire every single Digimon as early as you have access to the DigiLab.
I only say might because you can only de-digivolve if you've already seen the pre-evolution, and you don't encounter all five Baby digimon immediately in either game. But even then, HM has all five Baby Digimon for sale as soon as you have access to DigiMarket, which opens up all evolution pathways. Granted, you can't actually *use* some of the Digimon until you get your first Memory Up (you start with 20 and memory costs go up to 25), but still.
It would be interesting nonetheless.
John, you mad man, you did it again.
The evolving part is a part of the Gen 8 Pokérap. I swear it is.
I took a break from pokemon around 1 and a half years ago and just got back into pokemon a few weeks ago naturally i was looking up some videos about new mechanics and stuff and i realized That 95% of the community posts either extrem low quality content or makes the same videos everyone else makes and then i found this channel and thought to myself that there is still hope for this community. I hope your videos will continue to do as well as they do now and beg you to not change. You are a gem my good sir
Dude, you're a maniac.
Here, try an easier one, X and Y

I was really curious to see how this went. I've got Shield, and I haven't done any link trades to get specific pokemon. But because I got lucky with surprise trades, I got the starters, and because of sword players hosting their raids, I've only got 25 pokemon left to get and I think my save file is sitting at around 80 hours.
with how much work you put into your videos, it’s safe to say you deserve SO MANY more subs. Great work!
First thing I though of when seeing this is
‘The wild area will be absolutely fun
24:20 "Random old man"
He's not old, he's just exhausted.
I love the dedication of this man i imagine how long this challenge is i would not have the patience to do this
thank you for always making content like this! you work so hard and it's recognised :)
We all know what you're avoiding doing. Do it already.
YAS!! I love your Professor Oak challenges so much, made my day to see a new one
Great job, John! Can't wait for the Unova one!
Scorbunny, because he gets the least love.
Inteleon: forever alone
Grookey: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Eric Kim more like Drizzile
This is insanely well done! Thank you for all the effort and the entertainment John
Yes! I was waiting for this~
Also, your calming voice is making my day a lot better, thanks for that~
I think this could entice people: the first section ends at 24:00, lol; this is the sheer magnitude of the effect the Wild Area has on this challenge.
Those are the best videos! There’s nothing like professor Oak’s challenges!! 💪💪💪
John: Time to evolve!
The Pokemon: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Here I am casually playing since release date... I’m at ~250 in my dex only after 30 hours 😂
Great video like always, John! You’re the man.

Sigh I can't get sword exclusive
Jesus that list before the first badge haha, great job man, amazing video as always !
dude I would not dream of being able to do this I didn't know you at all but now im a subscriber because of how dedicated you are.
This is the video I've been waiting for :) now do it again when the DLC comes out lol
I can't play sword and shield because i don't live in north america what does DLC mean
Plz tell me
@@immortalninja9140 it means Downloadable content
I was literally talking about this today! I was wondering how this would work with the wild area. I'm guilty of not having watched the video yet before commenting, but I just wanted to mention that lol.
Great video as always John!!
this gives me big respect for you. you have more pokemon in the dex when you have 1 badge than i have when the only things i have left to do is complete the pokedex, evolve the isle of armour pokemon (forgot what its called) and do the star cup
"I chose Scorbunny cause he gets the least amount of love."
that take is hotter than a pyro ball
"After checking Melony off the list of gym leaders to destroy"
in what way?~
I am v excited about this. I love these videos so much.
Oh boy, can’t wait for part 2 of this when the DLC comes around.
11:26 if you interact with the corvisquire on the rock, you can battle it
Scorbunny by far gets 10 time ore love than the other starters
Pretty sure he's well aware of that and said it as a joke like how he said Charmander doesn't get alot of love in the pokemon y professor oak challenge
Been waiting for this my god
I have the official sword and shield guidebook and that was a HUGE help when I was trying this challenge myself. It shows you how to heat the game, (dlc not included) what encounters are in each area, there spawn rates, and the map and battles.
“So I chose scorbunny because I feel like he gets the least amount of love” no, scorbunny gets the most love
Choose Grookey.
Even tho my boi Sobble is the best
@@lemonicdemonade09 That's the truth!
Sobble:stop right there
I have al 3 via trades
eatheria gamer tv yeah Nobody asked, we’re talking about which ones deserve the most love, not which ones you have
to be honest for this kinda challenge it's insane, but it is really awesome that so many pokemon in the dex are available at the beginning of the game!
i loved this video! it was so good!
love your videos honestly

Bruh did he say Scorebunny got the least amount of love !?
Maura McCabe sadly yes all the others are more loved D:
I think scorbunny gets the most love, with sobble the most hate and grooky in between
StoneWhale2055 not really I’m the only person I know who likes scorbunny sobble being first grookey in between and scorbunny last it’s not that no one like scorbunny it’s just it’s the least popular
"For the first time, we can pick whichever starter we want"
