Abra Only - Pokemon Yellow - Teleport Only? Are you sure?

Playthrough Rules:
1. Only my starter in battle
2. No items in battle*
3. No glitches or exploits*
4. No Double-Team TM before level 100*
Other rules:
-- *Pokeballs & Pokedolls are allowed in battle
-- *The badge-boost glitch is not restricted at all
-- *Skipping the Rocket Hideout & Marowak is allowed
-- I play the game at 4x game speed (238 frames per second)
-- My Pokemon has perfect DVs
-- The Trash-Can-Puzzle is automatically solved so times are not affected by RNG
-- The bike is allowed (the bike skip is not)
-- Skipping the bike is not allowed
-- Saving between league members is allowed
-- If the solo Pokemon faints and I choose to blackout it counts towards my reset counter
*Double-Team:
-- Almost every Pokemon can learn Double-Team through TM
-- The TM can be purchased in Celadon
-- Using it would centralize the meta
-- Every Pokemon would use it to overcome tough battles at lower levels
-- It raises evasion
-- It triggers the badge boost
-- Banning the TM allows Pokemon who learn it through level up to use it
-- I believe evasion is part of Pokemon and shouldn't be banned entirely
-- I don't want the videos to all be double-team spam though, that's not fun or entertaining
-- Only two Pokemon learn Double-Team through level up: Pikachu & Scyther
-- Minimize is the other evasion raising move, these Pokemon learn it through level up:
-- Clefairy, Clefable, Grimer, Muk, Chansey, Staryu
Yellow Version changes from Red/Blue:
1. You cannot use Dig/Escape Ropes in Bill's House or the Pokefan Club
2. You cannot talk to the trainers in Blaine's gym to battle them
3. Surge, Sabrina, and Blaine do not have Good AI
4. The Elite Four have better movesets
5. Koga, Sabrina, Blaine, and Giovanni have higher level teams
6. Blaine doesn't use Super Potions are full HP
7. The rival picks his eeveelution based on the outcome of the first two battles.
-- Lose in the lab: Vaporeon
-- Win in the lab and skip route 22: Flareon*
-- Win in both locations: Jolteon
-- *You cannot lose on route 22 because you blackout
Terms:
-- STAB
-- Same-Type-Attack-Bonus - a 1.5x damage multiplier
-- Stat Experience
-- The Gen1&2 equivalent of effort values. You can invest in all stats until they max
out at 65535

Abra has no way of acquiring confusion at this level. It can't get confusion as an egg move. But, it should learn rest by level up because Abra sleeps all day. It can even teleport in its sleep. But, sadly, it doesn't. It only learns teleport.

Weedle is essentially impossible without in-battle save states, I'm pretty sure. I mean like using Poison Sting against all of Agatha's Poison-types. You basically need to crit every single hit and them get 1/256 misses regularly. Even then, you might be pushing it with PP. 5 Pokemon, 2 of which are 4x resistant to Poison moves, the other 3 are 2x resistant. 56 PP when maxed out. Gotta take each Pokemon out in ~10 Poison Stings average. It's absolute statistical insanity.

There is a german guy (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXfIgaKdot6jl9k ) who finished red with weedle - but he says it took him several days to beat each, Agatha (1 PP left) and Lorelei. So yes, I think insanity is the correct word.

[@jennytalia6724]

You want seismic toss vs Zam and Exegg, although I see why it was tempting to burn that TM in the early game. I'll admit I didn't expect to see toxic here. It does work well with rest. However, you may have been able to squeeze by at a lower level with psychic, seismic toss, rest and toxic. You may want to rethink mimic strats or even rest on squishy mons like Abra because they can't risk setting up and don't stall well. Although it might be funny to have a swords dancing Abra. Another possibility here is actually mimicking leech seed which would boost your stall much more than toxic, allowing you to KO faster with seismic toss. Also I have no clue why you'd pick fire punch over barrier. Psychic, ice punch, thunderpunch and barrier would've carried you all the way through the champion. It's why I had this jank moveset on my Mewtwo in Gen 4 with charge beam, icy wind, psychic and drain punch lol.

[@kendallbyrd966]

It took me about 3 whole minutes of staring at your comment to figure out Zam meant Alakazam lol

[@enitheway]

I love the "what-if" bit in the end! Even if it trivializes the idea, it was a nice section to showcase "an unleashed potential." I would like to see similar to be done with other Pokémon but I started to realize it wouldn't work as nicely with others. Like Caterpie, Kakuna nor Magikarp won't benefit from the generational shift at all, and legendary birds would make sense only for giving something to play with before they start to learn level up moves. So what's only left, is a hack where you could use newer Pokémon with only moves that existed in Gen 1. Probably a topic for another time.

[@jackruby6696]

Tangela gets amnesia, mega drain..

Caterpie cold be interesting in a hack that added newer moves. It gained STAB with Bug Bite in gen-4, and gained coverage with Electro Web in gen-5.

@@jackruby6696 Tangela with Amnesia and Confusion would make a huge difference in Gen 1 run but it wouldn't be as huge as with Abra. However, Tangela learns Mega Drain and Growth in Gen 1 so I don't know how much difference Confusion would make (which reminds me to rewatch the Tangela run).

this was such a fun video. It’s so painful to see the brock split but really that whole early game split until you get psychic shows abra’s weakness. I think the clip selection and the routing you’ve developed shine here. always a fun watch, can’t wait for the next one.

[@luigibarqs]

Abra is physically frail, starts with only Teleport and will need to use Struggle, No level up moves, the majority of Kanto TMs are physical attacks, and the closest things to consistent special attack damage it can exploit are TM Psychic and TM Mimic which aren't even accessible until roughly half way through the run. Getting strategically creative with your limited moveset options and good TM management seems like it will be key aspects of getting the best run possible.

[@Ludzig]

No shit

[@jackruby6696]

Hey Scott have you ever thought of doing a few “redos” of old terrible Pokémon with there egg moves from gen 2 in here? For example tangela gets confusion , amnesia and mega drain as egg moves . IMAGINE how fast ur run would be if you started off with these. And the legit way to get them is to trade them in so you’d have time boosted exp from the traded trainer function. Idk think about it.

Gen 2 Abra story: The second time I played through the Crystal Clear romhack, I decided to go beat Blue first (since it lets you tackle gyms in any order, scaling up/down gym leaders' teams based on your badge count).

Since then, that OP glass cannon sleepy fox feels more quintessentially "Blue" to me than either Eevee or Squirtle.

What's funny is even though lick is trash if ghost moves were coded correctly in gen 1 it still would have been a problem for him, after all of the boosts from same type attack bonus and being super effective it puts it at a 60 power move, which would be hitting abra's abysmal defense stat.

[@TechHug]

I'm curious how much faster the run becomes just by allowing Abra to evolve into Kadabra.

[@misirtere9836]

Dramatically faster. As soon as Abra evolves at level 16, it learns Confusion, which is PLENTY to cleave through Brock and move the hell on to the rest of the run.

[@aaronb8858]

I would like to see your take on a “developer intended” or “developer aided” run. It seems all early gen gyms have a Pokémon to be caught just prior or around that is super effective. The challenge I guess would be to find them all and the elite four team can be any of the ones used in the gyms ( pick of 8) examples are mankey in firered, or nidoran male in gen 1 for the first badge, oldish or bell sprout for gym 2, digger for 3 etc.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Yeah, I’ve thought about this actually!

[@Zorafin]

Nidoran male learns Double Kick in gen 1 at level...43. But in Yellow that's changed to 12. Definitely a way for them to apologize for having so many bad pokemon choices for Brock. But they also let you catch a Mankey there so that's probably the better short term choice. Unless you want a Nidoking in your party long term, of course. I've always been annoyed at your lack of options against Brock. Honestly the best choice is to just catch nothing and use nothing but your starter. Even if you chose Charmander, since Ember actually does more damage to them than you take. Plus you can get a Charmeleon just by taking out the trainers on your way to Brock, and that will let you overpower him with ease. Funnily enough he's the only trainer with that problem. Misty you can catch a Bellsprout or Oddish, Surge has Diglet or Sandshrew if you haven't leveled up a Geodude, and then the game opens up and you can really customize your team for the rest of the game. Probably even catch a Tauros before Erika.

Tip for when Ditto happens. If a transformed Ditto levels up in Gen III, it regains its normal stats in place of whatever Pokémon it copied. I’m pretty sure that if Gen III had this glitch, then Gen I likely has it too.

I'd highly doubt it tbh. Glitches that are consistent between pokemon games are very rare. In fact, I don't know of any glitch that is the same between any two generations. I'd look it up, but Bulbapedia is giving me a 503 error right now.

[@stevelknievel4183]

I think the best way of giving Abra a useable move early on is to change when you receive Psywave. It can never do more than 1.5 times your hp in damage (and usually significantly less) so it would only ever be as overpowered as you are. It would also be a much more appropriate time to receeive it than as a reward for defeating Sabrina.

[@veghesther3204]

Psywave sucks in every every pokemon game.

[@iantaakalla8180]

Maybe it can be a Level 100 move to represent that it’s a move not worth grinding for but if you were you would have something that is slightly more likely to do significant damage because of it having the potential to do 1.5x your health.

[@veghesther3204]

Even at lv 100 Psywave still sucks.

[@DonYagamoth]

I had no idea about that additional trainer in yellow, or how to acquire these pokéballs. I have a feint memory of knowing these pokéballs existed, but I figured I remembered another generation. That's interesting Also - one thing I'm wondering about: Training against the Diglett trainer: Would it potentially be beneficial, to not entirely deplete all Teleports - have like 2-3 left, once you have Abra at a higher level. So you defeat Diglett, but take a bit more damage from it because you have to use turns using Teleport in the trainer battle, then defeat it, but are more likely to feint from the Sandshrew anyways, since you took more damage from Diglett? Edit: My statement is horrible. I mean, intentionally taking more damage in that fight, in order to extend the diglett grind Edit: I bet Kadabra would be faster, purely on the basis of not having to cancel the evolution every other battle Edit 2: I feel like you should never use all your bunny to buy potions

I'm loving the touch of putting your avatar on the left side with the Pokémon you're using during the Gym Battle transitions x3

[@shydog7276]

I love your content but I gotta admit it was your blooper reels that broke me and won my sub 😂

[@devinmiracle7680]

Awesome video. I love the cleverness of using the Gen 2 Abra to destroy Pokémon Yellow. Your videos are great man, I’m really glad I’ve been on this journey with you for so long. I comment on other Pokétube content about how great your videos are.

[@KiranasOfRizon]

Love the art you got for the wrapping lass and self destructing hiker.

[@damonphilbrick2125]

Its so crazy that i was at work earlier thinking when scott was gonna do an abra run and how difficult it would be. Just to open yt and have it be on my screen. Great video lol i still cant believe it took almost 3 hours to beat brock

[@richardstrait3723]

You inspired me to do a piplup run on Brilliant diamond, thanks man you taught me a new way to enjoy these games

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Great video! I really love the stats/information on the side of the gameplay (particularly the stats section). I know you've been doing it for a while but I still think its really cool!

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

I still like it’s really cool too. Feels like magic now that it’s working. I dreamt about it for over a year and now it’s finally a reality!

[@leviadams8777]

So cool to have been with the vhannel for so lomg to see how much you've evolved. Keep up the awesome work, Scott!

[@giacomoalessandrodeluca]

Great video Scott. The quality of your videos has been improving to a crazy level (I still remember the first videos). Keep on doing what you do

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

I will :)

[@joshuarogers2513]

Thank you so much for the content scott!!! Can’t get enough! Keep it up my friend!!! 😁😁😁

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

I will

[@fixmein4558]

I've long considered doing runs with optimal move sets from the beginning to see how the best times would change. Awesome to see it here with Abra. I'd love to see that become a feature at the end of your videos. Also your videos have improved so much in what feels like a short amount of time. Super crisp, love the animation, and the information in the margins. You're a heck of a creator my friend

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Thanks

[@TDMicrodork]

9:33 Wow never realized she was exclusive to yellow. Though Yellow was my favorite generation 1 game so i must of just misremember her being in red the other gen 1 game i had as a kid

[@dwellerofgloom8450]

Awesome job and show of mental strength! I really love the add of visual move/psychic effet, I think you should keep it and do a special/thematic one for the next playthroughs

[@johnfrancis89]

gotta put super Saiyan and ultra instinct abra back on the tier list, this is outrageous. I demand justice. (amazing video! your hard work really shines through and your rate of improvement is so impressive.)

[@carprincess]

This must have been a difficult run to go through, especially that early game with just Teleport. Ouch... Thanks for going through the pain for us, as you said early on in the video, there are many of us that are morbidly curious to see every single Pokemon go through this run.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

It’s say it felt tedious, Seel felt difficult. Hour 2-3 was pretty mind numbing in this haha

[@scottprice1330]

I was waiting for this one :) thank you Scott!!!!!

[@eightteentwo]

Love the various abra edits!

[@travisalexander6440]

The Comedy/Tragedy of Champion losses on the rerun was best laugh I have had in a while! You can hear the OMGWTFBBQBS in your voice as the counter racks up! Oh, my cheeks hurt!

[@LunethAkumajo]

Scott, you're awesome! Keep up the great work!

[@SimplyAJ]

Great video, dude. Enjoyed the "What If...?" segment at the end there using moves from Pokemon Crystal.

[@NativeGolfer10]

Did I spend the entire weekend going back and rewatching Scott’s videos? Perhaps… The 70 hour weeks have gotten real old for the past 3 months. I appreciate you big time.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Hopefully work slows down for you, 70 hour weeks are really demanding. At least the content has helped you make it through!

[@shimauta1941]

IMHO this is your best video yet. Having the original run where Abra struggled so hard to get past Brock and then the contrast of how easily it gets through everything except the elite 4 and champion in the run with moves it can be transferred back to gen 1 with from gen 2 was really awesome to see. Really highlighted how night and day things can be for Abra.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Thanks Shima! I worked hard on this one! Hopefully there are still improvements in the future too
