is it possible to lose the final battle? Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

The results surprised me a bit...
There is a second part of the video at 01:29 so watch until the end.

Koraidon / Miraidon last battle (main story) Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ending

[Smileface]

I love how they say "YOU DID IT!" after you just paid your way to win

"YOU DID IT!! YOU USED BRIBERY AND IT WORKED!"

professor turo/sada :"nothing will stop my plans, absolutely nothi-"
trainer: "I'll give you 8k pokedollers if you stop"
professor: *Okay fair enough*

[lmr]

At the end he used the power of money paying 8160 pokédollars to calm down Koraidon.

You answered my temporary biggest question in life "Can you even lose this?" that kept me busy the entire night lol

[zacharymachado]

i high key knew instantly from his moveset and the fact you gained stats from cheering and miracuously survive on 1 HP that it was a scripted fight that basically forced you to win no matter what. kinda sad that you cant win normally, but with the story between the 2 koradions/miradions, it makes sense from a story perspective

[LanzagranadasM]

You gave $8160 to the winner Koraidon so it accepted to fake defeat.

I can't be the only one that had a weird feeling after winning the battle? Well, I tested it for you. :)

[Test-sdmb]

The game straight up just said "alright, screw you, I'm gonna finish the battle myself"

[j.v.]

So in other words a: "Can you beat pokemon gen9 without terra" is absolutly impossible ... unless you only stick to the champion route

[snitzfoam]

so... it forces you to win
and if you mod the game so you can lose, it hands you the win anyway (for a small fee of 8000 bucks) but now theres the wrong music playing

[Lishaaaaaaa]

Thanks for the laugh. Satisfied my curiosity. :')

I was really hoping this would turn into a final raid battle

[PearangeProductions]

This may sound crazy, but hear me out: what if this isn't the game forcing a win, but _AI Sadi/Turo_ instead?

Think about it. AI Sadi/Turo doesn't want the Paradise Protection Program to win, period. And it will do anything that it possibly can to stop the Program, and I don't think what we see here is out of the AI's reach.

In my eyes, this isn't GameFreak forcing a scripted win. This is the AI literally BREAKING THE GAME just to ensure that you can win.

Damn even the game got tired of you bullshitting and said “fine ima do it myself” 💀😂😂

[PurpleYoshi]

I’d like to see someone hack the game to give a recoil damage move and use it at 1hp, I don’t think recoil damage can be toughed out iirc?

[jaydenmamane]

Koraidon on is filled With DETERMINATION!

(spoilers about the outcome, watch the video before reading this comment)






I have obviously seen this video after i did finish the game so I'm not spoiled anymore but i was curious on what happens if you would deliberately lose the final final battle and it turns out you can't as you forcibly Tera and choose the Tera Blast move automatically if you don't do all of the above for three turns (aka have let the three companions talk).
Whilst you can lose to Hop (first two battles) in the previous generation (albeit not losing money) you can't lose here?
Plus, you can't Tera until four turns (starting from the moment you choose Miraidon from the Party menu) have passed (and Penny says that the Tera Orb is glowing) so those things mean that that battle is scripted like the legendary at the beginning of SwSh.

[TOHOREMIX]

This is just They really didn't have enough time did they?

[justinchang]

When I knew enemy miraidon was gonna hyper beam I used endure

[ImaJynn]

So what if that other Koraidon had Pressure, and you exhaust all of Tera Blast?

It'd be like 5-6 turns due to pressure taking 2 pp per turn of the move you use.

Is it possible to win without Terastallize & Tera Blast before it forces it?
