Professor Oak Challenge Ep 3: First Shiny + 20 Pokémon Before Beating Misty! (FireRed)

After 10+ hours of non-stop grinding under REAL Professor Oak's Challenge rules (catch + evolve everything possible while staying under the level cap), I finally did it right!

In Episode 3 of my Pokémon FireRed Professor Oak's Challenge:
• Caught and evolved 20+ new Pokédex entries
• Explored 2 new cities/areas (Cerulean + Vermilion path)
• Found and caught my FIRST shiny Pokémon!
• All Hidden Items including Rare Candy!
• Prepped the perfect team and took down Misty for the Cascade Badge — no overleveling allowed!

This is the first episode where I followed the strict POC rules 100%. The grind was real, but the payoff feels amazing.

If you're doing your own Professor Oak Challenge in FireRed or LeafGreen, or just looking for "how to beat Misty FireRed" tips with a challenge twist, this video has the full journey + team breakdown.
