Can a Pokémon Noob beat the BRUTAL Pokémon Roguelike?

[@Sophist]

Hi, while reviewing this vid, I felt copious amounts of cringe saying things that weren't even remotely close to being correct within the scope of Pokemon, don't be too harsh in comments, I am pokemon noob.

[@antray6848]

I am crying so hard at the RED SHINY ETERNATUS. Like omg, I honestly think I would have held the save file and never touch it ever again just in case I can capture it in 500 years or so (you need to have every starter to catch it)

[@Da_pibe]

Is that how it works?

[@antray6848]

@@Da_pibe Yeah it is, you can capture the mons in the last area if you have unlocked them as a starter (eggs for most). To get Eternatus as a starter you need to have every single other starter unlocked. Then you can catch Eternatus at the end of the game, especially worth if it's a fucking red shiny. Seriously I HAVE NEVER SEEN A RED SHINY this guy is so lucky and he just killed it 😭

[@YoloYester94]

Was checking the Party Crashers channels right after playing this game. Also, if you’re a “noob,” there are a few ways to learn the game that can really help, and that I often use: -Use Bulbapedia to see data about certain Pokémon. It’s particularly helpful for base stats and movesets. I use it all the time when I question a Pokémon’s viability. -You probably won’t win your first run, as the game is designed to beat you down. You may have figured this out already, but refreshing the page is a viable option to try and salvage a run. It won’t always be possible, though. I do it because I like seeing runs to the end. -Don’t focus solely on attacking moves. Dragon Dance, Swords Dance, Quiver Dance, Calm Mind, and Bulk Up are great for sweepers (the Pokémon that do most of the killing.) Defensive moves such as Protect, Detect, Light Screen, and Reflect, Status inflicting moves such as Thunder Wave and Will-O-Wisp, and self-healing moves like Rest, Moonlight, and Synthesis are great options for support Pokémon. -Drugs are encouraged, both X-items and the bottled drugs i.e. Carbos or Protein. PP Up and PP Max (haha, PP) should also not be underestimated. There are probably several guides that are pretty good for giving out this information, and I know I look like a nerd telling you all of this, but this is coming from someone who has played generations 1-5 and 9, and some showdown as well. I’m not trying to say that you’re wrong if you don’t follow this, it’s just some pointers for someone who may find it helpful.

[@waddlesw74]

Take a shot every time he says "honestly". See how long you'll live after

Very nice editing on this one, especially during the intermissions. That first run reminds me of my early runs: start with oshawott, immediately regret it (it takes him 4-5 tackles to kill something 3 levels below him and he doesn't get a water-type move until level 7, but because he takes so long to kill he almost dies every fight you use him. He gets better later on once he gets razor shell and such, but it really stands out compared to something like say eevee with adaptability that can one shot 90% of the encounters in the first 20 floors), end up wiping on floor 20 because you rolled one of the first gen 5 gym leaders and they're for some reason very scary on floor 20. Mostly Cress and his basculin. It's hard to describe how it feels getting swept by a basculin of all things. Still trying to carry oshawott to a win because he's my favorite water starter. Still failing.

[@Wearywastrel]

I had the strangest run earlier... I selected kangaskhan, Magnemite, and gothirita as my starting party. I was using the kang as an early carry and my first four rewards were candy jars... Four out of every five rewards following had a rare candy in the listing. Kangaskhan never dropped lower than ten levels above the cap for each new set and he ended up over a hundred levels higher than eternatus at the end. His fake out wiped out a cobalion with four health bars at one point.
