So, why did u include trade evos again?

[@SirZesto]

Just so you know, Mystic, you can download the Universal Pokémon Randomizer to bypass trade and other special evolutions. It works with all Pokémon roms, and has a bunch of other options as well. Link to website: pokehacks.dabomstew.com/randomizer/ Hope this helps anyone who needs it!

[@oof-qj3ec]

MysticUmbreon the shirt looks awesome

[@TomRyuKen]

I understand Snorlax is a tempting choice, and it's good, but its Special stat in gen 1 was only 65, so not particularly high. That means it won't tank these special hits quite as well as you'd think but also means Psychic and Blizzard really don't deal that much damage. Pikachu is also definitely not mandatory and also just not really that good honestly. But cool video!

[@PlayThenReview]

Pikachu Charizard Blastoise Venusaur Snorlax Nidoking No one’s got time for them trade evos

[@saintwarriorwithin2226]

Zap224 Machoke can be obtained as an In game trade and then have Machamp in your team.

[@JCBagginsAgronai]

Really good setup! My first Yellow playthrough (that I somehow won with) was...well, let's just say I was an odd kid with odd choices... Pikachu Venusaur Charizard Blastoise Butterfree Primeape Despite what you might think, Butterfree actually helped me destroy Koga's Gym. XD

[@wintertheampharos4725]

My team for the digital copy is Pikachu Victreebel Sandlash Ninetales Gyarados & Dodrio

[@goreangel1258]

Something I find EXTREMELY overlooked in this Video is Nidoking. It is a ground type as well. And after beating brock, ESPECIALLY in yellow since it gets Double Kick way earlier than Red/Blue, you can get a Moon Stone and obtain Thrash, a move that in gen 1 lasts 3-4 turns, a great move that can easily sweep up a rocket base. A second reason to use it is Horn Drill with X Accuracy. It becomes an unmissable OHKO move, as well as getting the move Thunderbolt and having Stab Earthquake for Agatha. It alone can absolutely mop up the elite 4 with this alone. So the choice of Golem over it seems like a slap in the face to the poison type.

[@jeremymitchem327]

Plus it basically fills the slot of both Mankey and Golem without a 4x weakness.

[@justinarney3050]

thats the best starter for gen 1 for you and yes a I am saying that for the old games cuz even though he has a limited move pool crit-leaf is still op, and vaporeon is just a way better water type in my opinion

[@TheDjbz]

To be fair by the time you get bulbasaur in yellow you're already past the point where it's most useful. (I.e Brock and Misty) Everything afterwards that you'd use the bulbasaur line against (water/ground/rock types) can be handled just as easily by pikachu/whatever water type you have

[@justinarney3050]

yeah I know that..... but what sucks more is that bulbasaur is the first starter ash gets in the anime

[@cheems13]

TheDjbz I understand why they weren't added. I just commented because Venusaur is my favorite poke, so I was feeling quite salty about his absence. Not saying he should've been on the team.

[@hexmaniacciaran]

Ariana Isabella it’s a shame, Venusaur is the best grass type in gen 1 that isn’t exeggutor Blastoise is massively outclassed by starmie, lapras, vaporeon, slowbro and even gyarados that has 100 special in gen 1 and Ninetales outclasses charizard with 100 special to really make those fire moves hurt

[@Jonatron101]

Next time, could you put all 6 Pokemon together at the end of the video just so we get a look at the final complete team? Btw love how you use the old school artwork, it's so refreshing and nostalgic to see them!

[@cullenkenny98]

I like that you considered how soon you can get the Pokémon as well as how viable they were. As a suggestion for alakazam's 4th move, I'd suggest psybeam (or even confusion). Most of the routes are long with many battles. And if you wanted to go as far as ev training (for stadium), 10pp on psychic is just not enough. As for competitive, could work in synergy with double team if you can pull off the small chance of confusion

[@perfectspare3009]

Reflect is actually pretty good on Alakazam in Gen 1. So is Thunder Wave

[@javianmonserrate8930]

ALL HAIL GOD

[@entermaidtheelegant2513]

Oh the hilarious tasty fitting irony of this video with the new things going on loooool

[@Sonicfan640]

What about Nidoking/Nidoqueen for the ground type? Nidoran can be obtained around Mt. Moon and can fully evolve very quickly.

[@TrainerRed519]

I use Rhydon along with giving a ground move to my Blastoise, and it crushed

[@channeldeleted3622]

Jolteon, Dragonite, Arcanine, Gyarados, Snorlax, Exeggcutor I've done multiple playthroughs, and this team is what I always settled for. Blastoise, Venusaur and Charizard are all still in my heart, however

[@josesoriano3323]

What moveset?

[@comics4556]

@@Asfgxff uhhh you level it up?

[@chandlerdiasfernandes8595]

Just came here from the future to say that in yellow there is one trade evo you can use. In the underground path from route 4-5,there is a girl that will give a machoke for cubone, and it does not have an Evers tone, meaning it WILL evolve once you receive it

[@WesleyLawton]

* Clefable with Thunderbolt, Hyper Beam, Sing, and Reflect because Clefable can be obtained very early, has pretty good stats, and a massive TM access. * Nidoking with Earthquake, Thunder, Ice Beam, and Surf because, yeah, obtained early, really good stats, and great TM access. Also, Horn Attack is a solid move by learnset until other moves are obtained. * Kadabra/Alakazam with Psychic, Recover, Thunder Wave, and Reflect for reasons listed in the video. This Kadabra/Alakazam is powerful and annoying to opponents as long as Psychic is effective, which it is against 90%+ of opponents. The thing that sucks about this moveset is running out of PP in-game for Psychic, but I wouldn't want to use another move slot on any of the other damaging moves available to this pokemon. * Articuno with Blizzard, Agility, Double-Edge, and Rest because I don't mind legendaries, ridiculous stats, and a small but versatile moveset * Blastoise with Surf, Blizzard, Body Slam, and Mimic for reasons listed in the video * Pikachu with Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Submission, and Seismic Toss because it's Pokemon Yellow and even though you don't technically have to use Pikachu, you kind of do. The biggest reason to choose this version is because it's Gen 1 but consistent with the anime and you have a cute little pal to follow you around. Pikachu may be relatively terrible in battle, but it adds a lot to the fun factor. Also, this moveset makes Pikachu at least not totally defenseless against most foes. Obviously you'll need an HM slave or two as well, but Surf is the only great HM for battle (though Strength and Fly are not terrible). Also, I would have strongly considered Golem, Gengar, and Machamp, but I don't have a 3DS so I avoided Pokemon that needed to be traded, besides Kadabra because its Sp. Atck. and Psychic typing make it good enough without being fully evolved. Having these amazing Pokemon only be obtainable through trade was a smart move on Nintendo's part when the games were released, but sucks when that's not a viable option for you in 2018.

[@penggao7034]

This is late, but haunter is pretty good until the late game

[@mistermillz]

I’d totally love best teams for Colosseum and XD. Choices may be limited but considering you get Eevelutions as your starter, and all battles being double, building a team around that should be fun

[@TheUntitled100]

In my last run through Yellow, I boxed Pikachu and used Jolteon instead as it's just a better Electric type overall, plus it has access to Pin Missile and Double Kick. Previous playthroughs where I have used Pikachu out of sentimental value have meant that a Vaporeon was used (Surf, Ice Beam, Acid Armour are its main moves), otherwise my water type Pokemon has been Lapras. Access to Surf, Ice Beam & Thunder makes this a very strong member. Charizard is my favourite of the starters and it has access to Earthquake, Body Slam and Swords Dance. My grass type Pokemon has always been Vileplume because of access to Petal Dance, a highly powerful attack with the advantage of being able to switch out in Gen 1. Dodrio is (in my opinion) the best regional bird in the game with great attack and speed stats, plus access to Drill Peck and Tri Attack (Which in Gen 1 is just a very strong STAB attack). Finally, despite the lack of a decent ghost move, having Gengar/Haunter is brilliant for trolling those self-destructors, plus it gets Thunderbolt and Psychic allowing to utilise its high special stat.

[@jraymond1988]

imo I don't think you need a bird pokemon in Yellow since Charizard can fly.

[@GalacticElliot]

Great video! Last move for Alakazam could be Thunderbolt. :) Also instead of Blastoise, I’d personally use Vaporeon. Also bulky and just overall a super well rounded Pokémon.

[@SJMan2022]

oh hi

[@TKnHappyNess]

Alakazam doesn't get Thunderbolt

[@doraeguyakaneddie6586]

TKnHappyNess I think he meant Thunder wave

[@GalacticElliot]

TKnHappyNess You’re right. My bad! Always think it does.

[@redd6763]

tm? dunno im kinda dumb when it comes to psychic

[@fusionomni305]

The fourth move I use for Alakazam is reflect to keep him from getting hit too hard with a physical attack. Use that, and pretty much all your opponent can do is hope for a crit at just the right time.

[@Chloethepikachu100]

I was thinking Thunder Wave but that's a good idea.

[@blakedup6190]

thats what recovery is for...... Psychic, psybeam, thunderbolt, recovery......or replace thunderbolt with icebeam to destroy dragon pokemon

[@tylergaylord3]

@@blakedup6190 Recovery is for the hits that were weakened by Reflect. Alakazam's defense is so weak its nice to throw a reflect up and then recover if needed. Because otherwise, you're gonna recover, and lose all you recovered with the next hit

[@mcjaguilar8667]

Alakazam's last move should be substitute. Another one I could think of is seismic toss. You may even throw in metronome for fun.

[@ashleygillespie-horne6429]

Also: Not sure why people are making a big deal about speed in this game. The purpose of these teams are for sweeping the game from Pallet Town to Pokemon League, so you'll be higher levels (and invariably faster) than opposing pokemon 90% of the time. And the one time your Golem get outsped by a Rattata isn't going to hurt.

[@vaiyt]

If we're going to be completely honest the best way to beat the entire game is with just a Nido (either will do) maybe with something that's not weak to Psychic or Ice attacks for backup.

[@ShiningJudgment666]

Nidoking can destroy Psychic types with STAB Earthquake since they have weak physical Defense for the most part. Exeggutor and Slowbro could be problematic though critical hits turn the tables on Slowbro's 80 base Special.

[@hentaifreak25]

Gen 1 Crit chance is determined by how much higher your speed is over your opponent's, so naturally stacking with high speed Pokemon will give you more crits and easier battles.

[@hexmaniacciaran]

Ashley Gillespie-Horne you won’t be higher levels, you’ll barely be level 45-50 because of the lack of grinding by the elite 4 and speed is very relevant given base speed determines the crit hit ratio and high crit moves like razor leaf have a perfect crit hit ratio on anything at base 70 speed or higher because of the 8 times multiplier

[@zackzack9341]

Ashley Gillespie-Horne in gen one the critical chance is determined by the speed stat. slash increases your chance to crit even more and combine that with the fastest pokemon in gen 1, Persian you will crit all the time

Well, this video became a lot more relevant now.

[@LongfellowLP]

Fun video. I think the Nidos and/or Clefable would've had a place on my team. Probably Dugtrio too if I want to go full OP. Blastoise's availability is good but I think Vaporeon is a little better, especially if one of your other Pokes has Water Gun for the Geodudes in Rock Tunnel (which is the main advantage in availability Blastoise has over Vaporeon). I find Kadabra/Alakazam to be less useful in Yellow than in Red/Blue, where you get it earlier and can start destroying the Poison types that much sooner. Mankey/Primeape isn't really better than other Pokémon but I think it's fun to run after Brock. Hitmonlee isn't the best either but considering you can get him at level 30 as a gift as soon as you're out of Rock Tunnel, I find him to be good and fun (pretty good against Lorelei too).

This was my team in my Yellow Nuzlocke: Starmie (you can get it fairly early actually, as you can get Super Rod decently early and fish for it in Pallet Town)- Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Surf, Ice Beam Ninetales- Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Dig, Confuse Ray Pikachu- Thunderbolt, Thunder, Seismoc Toss, Thunder Wave Dugtrio- Earthquake, Cut, Slash, Rock Slide Venusaur- Razor Leaf, Leech Seed, Toxic, Body Slam Haunter- Psychic, Confuse Ray, Night Shade, Mega Drain It was a fun team. You don't have to use Pikachu; you can use Jolteon instead. I's also recommend Nidoking/queen. Very versatile, and can learn Double Kick to combat Brock. Gyarados is also an option, as you get it very early and its Special Attack stat is actually useable in this gen. The only issue is deciding who gets the Thunderbolt tm xD. I also usually put Swords Dance on Charizard if I use it. Probably replace Slash. I'd also put Amnesia on Snorlax... its Special isn't actually that high in RBY; it's not until GSC that it gets high Special Defense. Blizzard is great on RBY Snorlax, though. Amnesia is a ridiculously OP boosting move, doubling Special on both sides. I think I'd ditch Submission because Fighting isn't very useful in this gen.

[@torokami1109]

Good video, but sadly as you said yourself Pokemon like Alakazam and Golem can be pretty hard to come by nowdays when you play Yellow on the old GB cardtrige like me and have no way of trading these Pokemon with anyone. From own experience I can say that great alternatives for these Pokemon are Rhydon and Hypno, who really surprised me with their gen 1 strenght in my playthrough

[@smaragdchaos]

Rhydon is still viable in gen 3 too

[@derekholden6135]

Pikachu Rocky (Machamp) Charizard Blastoise or Lapras Snorlax Mew on the glitch hypno otherwise

[@KuroiWinter95]

My team in Yellow was: Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Nidoking, Jolteon and Snorlax.

[@zn9020]

Why the fuck would you replace Pikachu with Jolteon? Fucking monster.

[@kodytiffany5686]

Alakazam last move Metranome if it can learn it... its unpredictable. personaly instead of slash I had Sesmic toss and instead of earthquake I did dig for its dodge patential... for my Charazard.

[@sebastiano4906]

21st! Hi guys! And thanks for the yellow team!

[@willylarry2041]

[@Serjical1]

You should begin doing the Best Type team for each game!

[@RichardCheshire]

Like a single type for all members? Coz I've just done a poison playthrough of red for a challenge. Destroyed the elite four but got my whole team swept by blues alakazam. I rage quit and haven't touched the cartridge since lol

[@Serjical1]

Yeah just one type through a game.

[@ZoeBios121]

If you assume trade that early, get a Jynx from trading in a Poliwhirl after Misty. Ice/Psychic is very powerful and the trade exp bonus is very nice in the exp starved yellow. Heck if you assume trade, just trade in a Starmie and you can solo the game with the high special and speed and moveset: bolt-beam, psychic, surf

[@NordKing88]

I like the video and the Pokemon you picked. I just have to disagree with a couple. Golem and Alakazam are amazing picks, but I think it would have been fair to say that if they're doing a solo run with no outside help (trading) or glitches, I would go with Dugtrio instead of Golem due to Dig being a very broken TM in that generation and his speed is crazy good, and Hypno as a runner up for a solid Psychic type Pokemon. Overall great video.

[@ainsleyvikalp]

Last move for alkazam: Metronome

[@Docmain3]

Alakazam, last move? Teleport, duh!

[@turntsnaco824]

Yeah, let's be redundant and tack on low accuracy STAB moves instead of increasing a Pokémons move diversity or giving them more strategic options like Double Team. You seem like the kind of person who thinks that if a move doesn't do damage, heal yourself, or put the enemy to sleep, it's bad.

You should do a video about when to evolve certain pokemon. Pokemon that evolve via trade or stone and what level you should evolve them at based on moves they can learn and the differences between different generations.

[@xxXCoolJokeXxx]

alakazam should have psychic recover thunderwave reflect/seismic toss

[@leemurrison4222]

Use amnesia instead of submission on Snorlax cause special stat is broken and plus you utilize blizzard and psychic more.

[@Trmeman]

my team before fighting elite four, getting through the game with HMs (only used flash once and used it on a butterfree that I inboxed) and its heavily based on Ash's team: Pikachu: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Submission, Double Team Charizard: Flamethrower, Fly, Slash, Seismic Toss (for nostalgia lol) Blastoise: Surf, Hydro Pump (just cause), Ice Beam, Bite Venusaur: Toxic, Razor Leaf, Leech Seed, Cut Snorlax: Body Slam, Strength, Earthquake, Hyper Beam (can change Hyper Beam for Rock Slide, not necessary) Lapras: Surf, Blizzard, Ice Beam, Sing (can change for Psychic)

[@meganbell3699]

imo i'm still switching out my Pikachu for an Electrode because even if this Pikachu is stronger I just feel better having a fully evolved (and REALLY FAST) electric type on my team. Another thing is that Blizzard might be a better option for Blastoise (unless you just like having more PP which is fair) considering it has 90% accuracy in Gen 1.

[@xyzzy-dv6te]

I would pick jolteon if I didn't already use my thunderbolt TM on Gengar, so I went to glitches and used ws m to evolve Pikachu

My team: -Pikachu -Charizard -Venusaur -Lapras -Snorlax -Gengar *Notes:* 1.) I didn’t include moves because I am in no way a competitive or smart Pokemon player and you really shouldn’t take advice from me as I’m nothing but a filthy casual. 2.)I didn’t include Blastoise as I have a personal dislike for the Pokemon, but if you like Blastoise that is in no way a problem and please understand this is just my opinion. 3.) This isn’t based on the original Pokemon yellow and instead the Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee remakes. (Why did I even put this much effort into this it’s not like anyone’s going to read all of this if any at all)

[@-------------------------98722]

It's like $8 for a GBC trading cable you can use with a gameboy advance SP. A gameboy advance SP, the AGS-001 model never costs more than $50. Pick a couple up, or an extra one to trade with the one you already have. You can find the gen 1 cartridges on ebay for pretty cheap (battery may be dry, but it will still work 100% fine) ~$20. $78 total is relatively cheap all things considered. Depending on how big a collector you are of the series, this may or may not be a good investment. The prices are considerably cheap considering they stopped manufacturing the original hardware years ago and they likely won't any time soon so prices will only go up.

Golem's (and Graveler's) Earthquake and Rock Slide hit harder, plus it's just fun sending Graveler/Golem out before all the Lass's and Jr. Trainers and watching it devour all of their normal/flying/poison-type pokemon and coming away with hardly a scratch.

assuming your main goal is to beat the game asap once you start a new file, Nidoran(king) is a must have

You’re right.

[@LittleAl016]

Queen and Clefable are good too, for such a deed.

[@Empr4evr]

What always scared me away from using the Nidos is that it's weak to four of the strongest types in the game (Ground, Water/Ice, and, the boss type, Psychic). Also it's stats are just... okay. Certainly good enough to beat the cartridge game, but I preferred to use the likes of Golem, Alakazam, Starmie, and Exeggutor instead.

Yellow was my first pokemon game and I was going to question you if you did not choose Charizard... Him and Snorlax is why I beat the game.

[@LittleAl016]

You don't have to use Charizard to beat the game, though.

[@adamgreen7909]

7:14 is the Heart Gold/ Soul Silver route 5. Just being picky

[@BoostIncMotorsports]

Currently playing yellow. You talked about Charizard using Slash with occasional Crits, but i raised my Charmander to lv32, and Slash after that is basically a guaranteed Crit Atk now.

[@mariusherr9267]

How about Reflect or Lightscreen for Alakazam?

[@TKnHappyNess]

Light Screen is an egg move in Gen 2, plus it only works with the caster. It didn't get the 5 turn buff until Gen 2

[@Xelianow]

And on top of that.... considering how frail Alakazam is you don't want to waste a round using Reflect. Round one: Reflect --> Enemy does only take you out half way. Second round: Psychic --> Enemy takes you out entirely So you were able to get out one Psychic. Instead you could simply use Psychic right away without sacrificing half your HP for a Reflect that does not help you surviving the second attack anyway... rather take Psybeam as the 4th attack. Simply out of convenience because Psychic does only have 10AP and a STAB Psybeam from 135 base special is still enough for almost everything weak to psychic types... Considering alakazam is your go-to sweeper in that team you want more than 10AP...

[@smaragdchaos]

Get Starmie and you don't ever have to worry about using Alakazam ever again (Or Blastoise for that matter, yay)

[@AlexG0080]

Reflect on Alakazam is actually used in competitive, with Reflect up Alakazam takes about 25% from most physical attacks, I'm looking at Tauros and Snorlax Body Slam here, and even Rhydon's STAB Earthquake (The strongest physical hit, without a huge drawback, in the game) is only about 35%. They only thing this doesn't work well on is auto crit attacks that bypass it. Hell, with Reflect up, Alakazam can survive an exploding Golem at high health.

[@Xelianow]

Alex_0080 In competetive gameplay reflect is no doubt your go-to 4th move. And it does only reduce the damage by 50%, not 75% :) But apart from that, the team building here is not about competetive, but about playing the main game where you are definitly not willing to sacrifice your HP for a reflect because you do not want to run for a pokemon center after every 2 trainer battles : D

[@BritHumorBanter]

My team was Pikachu Blastoise Charizard Venusaur Kadabra Snorlax

For my I got kadabra and got it confusion it was my best pokemon at this point because i used 2 double teames then confuse and hit it with psychic and if low on hp i use recover i recomend use that combo
