Beating Pokemon Platinum Using Only My Starter

NOTE: There are a lot of grammatical errors in this video and I realize that, i acknowledge the fact that I don't do the English well. Also Vespiqueen has an ability that makes moves cost double, I learned this after finishing the video.

Then, coming up with solutions to beat those opponents or solving puzzles.That tiny bit of health remaining after getting hit by super effective move and making a comeback. Finding out secret passage and route,with unknown adventures ahead of you.... Pokemon games produced a whole bunch of people with god knows what kind of skills,from kids to adults and even elderly😆. To all POKEMON trainers(veteren or beginner)out there, GOTTA catch them all😎.

[@narrenitsuwaru8052]

ninepuchar1 Oh yes. The Totodile line was strong as hell throughout the entirety of my HeartGold playthrough. I think the part I differ from you is that I play the games to complete them. The most satisfaction I get is when I finally see those end credits, because it tells me I’ve finally won. The only other thing I really enjoy in the games is when something happens that I didn’t expect, which is a lot, seeing as Pokémon isn’t exactly the hardest series to predict. Getting my ass handed to me is also fun. It shows that my predictions were wrong.

- Pressure causes you use two PP per move use instead of one. - Bastiodon is 4x weak to fighting and ground type moves so it really shouldn't have been much of a challenge to fight at all. - Solar Beam absolutely stinks as a move without sun out, especially for something as frail as Infernape. Should've used Grass Knot for more reliable damage since on average it'll likely be at 60 or 80 damage. - Fire Blast is alright but similarly to Solar Beam, it's not very reliable since there's a 15% chance of you missing your target. Flamethrower has more PP, 100% accuracy and very solid damage before and after STAB. - Floatzel wasn't faster since it was underleveled. It hit with Aqua Jet because it's a priority move. - Close Combat lowers physical and special defense by one stage after you use it. It says it when you look at the move and even after you've used it so I have no clue as to how you could get that mixed up. - How did you not pick up any Elixirs or more Ethers? - I don't mean to be that guy but this is hardly a challenge. Infernape has good speed and good physical and special attack stats. It's able to hit almost everything in gen 4 for super effective or neutral damage and defeating the Elite Four with pretty much *any* pokémon at level 92 is a guarantee. You outspeed everything and your attack stats are through the roof, plus, despite Infernape's poor defenses, it can take a hit from other pokémon since it's grossly overleveled at this point.

[@Eufamis]

[Ecchi] even though float Eli was under leveled it probably would have been faster anyway. It has really high speed + infernape’s speed was lowered by mudshot

[@cenachi]

Don't need to be "that guy". I'm pretty, pretty sure that every starter can do this, even something like Meganium, since it will just funnel all the exp for itself

[@janner2006]

@@cenachi You're right. It's just that in this case, Infernape is probably the starter you'll have the easiest time running through the game with due to its insane movepool and offensive stats.

Eufamis nope, Infernape is the fastest Pokémon in Gen 4, even if it’s speed was lowered it was still faster than Floatzel. Aqua Jet was just a priority move

[@janner2006]

@@justinhamilton8647 You should probably check up on that first, my guy. Even if you only look at pokemon that were introduced in gen 4, Infernape is in fact not the fastest. Its base speed clocks in at 108. It gets outsped by Froslass (110), Purugly (112), Azelf, Ambipom *and* Floatzel (base 115) (plus Arceus, Weavile and Darkrai). Don't spread misinformation.

Raj Chow but honestly I can see a flotzel out speeding that infernape because one time I had a level 49 flotezel (306 speed) that out sped Cynthia’s garchomp and I didn’t iv train

[@Zen_Note]

@@Miami2514 IV's (internal values) are inherited through breeding. You can train EV's (Effort Values). Furthermore Garchomps Base Speed is at 102 (i believe) while Floatzel is at 115. That is a big difference in base speed. While Floatzel does have a higher base speed stat than Infernapes 108 it is unlikely that this would account for a roughly 10 level disadvantage. Also even if you didn't focus your EV Training you're bound to get some speed EV's here and there. Since NPC's are (as far as i am aware) neither carrying Pokémon with IV nor EV's its more than likely that Floatzel has an easy time outspeeding most of the game. (Disregarding Natures)

The Video is really good, i just wish you knew Pokemon a little more.

Also Bronzong and Togekiss are not weak to Fighting-type mpves because their secondary type resists it thus making them neutral. There were quite a few of these mistakes in this video.

@@TheDomini i'm sorry but i'll have to disagree with you, cus infernape is actually a mixed attacker with its attack and special attack stats at the same level, so technically fire blast is still a very good move for infernape, even if it has a somewhat mediocre accuracy
