Can I Beat Pokemon Black 2 with ONLY Regigigas? 🔴 Pokemon Challenges ► NO ITEMS IN BATTLE

[@Stv101streamer]

You wanna know why I keep coming back to your channel to watch these? Because its a casual players experience doing challenges and every-time you seem like you are genuinely enjoying or at least entertaining us. I too am a casual player, and that's where I am gonna stay. Keep making awesome content MDB

On our way through, I took the Plume Fossil. I knew if I didn’t say what I took, you’d all ask. Actually, now that I think about it, everyone asks anyway. Comments are good for the KZbin algorithm.

The funny thing is that with 80 attack, 110 hp, defense and special defense, 80 special attack and 50 speed Regigiga is still better than most of the pokemon in these runs even before Slow Start wears off.

[@Flaming_Rok]

The funny thing is that it does not halve the bases of Regigigas, it's halving the actual stats, so it's closer to base 56 Attack and 41 Speed. The defensive stats and Special Attack as you stated though are still better than a fair number of Pokemon that are used, but those physical maluses are affecting Regigigas more than you think.

21:43 you got it right (Be-Hee-Yem). Beheeyem and Elgyem’s names are based on acronyms: BEM and LGM respectfully. It’s based on the alien acronyms Bug-eyed monster and Little green men. This is the only reason I remember their names lol

Regarding sponsorships, I had always thought Factor was shit until I heard you do an add for them. That is the power of the brand you have cultivated by being picky. Love the show!

[@stilelits]

7:30 i like what they were doing with the xp curving, because the goal was to make it easier to quickly level low pokemon against enemies that are higher level, but they shouldn't have made a penalty for fighting enemies at a LOWER level. i feel like that one adjustment would have been the perfect balance

[@genemelendez368]

Here’s a tip for future B2W2 runs. If you go to the PWT and immediately quit out of it, they give you a random shard as a consolation prize. If you need a certain Move Tutor move, this can be a good way to grind for shards

[@atomicorange0512]

Couldn't you just do one of the "Find Mysterious Ores" Funfest missions in the Entralink? Those give out shards way faster

[@Raziel_HHL]

@@atomicorange0512 yeah those are amazing for shards, like 15 shards in what 2 or 3 minutes? my prefered route is starting all the way in the west of Castellia since there are a lot of spawns there

[@rayko5037]

Sabu walks across your keyboard. My cat sits on my laptop. It's just cat things. They're adorable, fluffy jerks.

[@Casey21.]

I know you are using jerks in an affectionate way so I'm not upset or offended, but I think cats doing this is actually kind of cute and sweet, still annoying, though. They do this because they are trying to mirror your behavior because they love you. There are some other reasons, too, but they all boil down to them loving you. There are actually cat keybords you can get that will make them stop. Hopefully this helps you love your cat even more

[@justinthibodeaux8601]

I'm convinced they do it because that's where they see your hands so they feel it's the place to go

[@arashiyari]

7:53 Before the level-up after Leavanny, Giygas had 53 HP remaining. He restored a total of 51 HP so he actually would have survived without the Leftovers. +16HP - four turns of +4 being 1/16th HP +3HP - level-up +30 and +2 (topped off) from seven turns at +5 being 1/16th HP. Either way, the Leftovers definitely pulled it's weight and kept that one from being a nail-biter.

[@arashiyari]

Actually now that I think about it, he's right. I only checked to make sure that the healing received was not higher than the remaining health left. Assuming the AI can 'see' a faint happening, Leavanny would not have used String Shot at the end if Giygas had only two health remaining. Setting aside damage ranges and other RNG elements that could have made the margin of error smaller or bigger, I was only thinking about the healing in that situation.

[@jonathoncampbell6813]

Hey! I just realized that it's been a second since your last Bethesda challenge! I know the pokemon challenges get you more views, subscribers, money, etc. and you should definitely keep doing them.

Regigigas runs seem like a customary thing now.

[@kingmatthewlego]

Here is an idea “Can I beat Pokemon Red with only ‘Blast Boom Destruct and Bomb’ like Moves! If you start with Voltorb you get Sonic Boom at level 17 making it possible from the start of the game. Plus in Gen 1 it hits Ghosts for some reason. It would be funny and stupid and interesting! Would love to see a video of it. Moves you could use: Explosion, Self Destruct, Fire Blast, Egg Bomb, Sonic Boom, Spike Cannon, Pin Missile, and Smoke Screen. Every Gen 1 move related to explosions!

[@Malendar]

I miss the once a month Bethesda runs, and would love to see that make a comeback.

[@knate44]

Yo an MDB video, and a Jrose video on the same day, AND the Jrose run is Drowzee, this is a good night for challenge runner content.

[@JackitK]

14:01 I got a little tip in case you ever need to grind the shards for move tutors in the future. If you lose the tournament, you receive a random shard as a consulation prize. So hypotically, you can just keep losing round 1 of any tourament here to infinitly grind shards.

[@ddjsoyenby]

[@jameskay5880]

NO idea how tedious this would be, but I'd LOVE to somehow see a ROM hack where you beat a Pokemon game...with only one Sabu.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Fun fact: if you're playing Black 2 and White 2 in Challenge Mode, Marshal's Conkeldurr was supposed to pull off a Flame Orb + Guts strategy... but they forgot to change its ability, so it has Sheer Force instead. Oops! Speaking of Challenge Mode, is there a way to enable it right from the start in an emulator? The battles are a lot more interesting in it.

[@Colbdolb]

There actually is a way, there’s a program called PKHEX where you can mess with game settings. I’m not sure if MDB knows about it though.

[@iamknightzzz]

There is a way to just have to use an action replay code

[@mateomeza5970]

Another very big oversight in challenge mode is that they actually forgot to change the stats of the Pokémon. The levels appear higher but the stats remain unchanged making the game actually easier because you’re leveling your Pokémon up to match their level but only your Pokémon are getting stronger. The only thing that makes challenge mode an actual challenge is the extra Pokémon some boss battles have

[@generalwd40]

Very good video ! I propose 3 ideas ! 1 idea: Froakie and croagunk in Pokemon Y 2 idea: Pidgey, spearow and doduo in Pokemon Firered 3 idea: Rattata, Paras and Meowth (For Meowth, he can't evolve, and the move are Cut, Flash, Thief and Payday) with the ability pick-up in Pokemon Firered.

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

Another brilliant Regigigas run! Thanks for this one, MDB! And yeah, the Pokemon World Tournament is really easy the first time around. They put you through a round to introduce you to the mechanics of the tournament, but don't apply the level limit so players don't get stuck on it. Cheren's levels right after on the boat are a lot higher, so it is him being limited by the tournament. (Also noteworthy for team runs is that since the Subway and the PWT are accessible before the postgame, with a decent party you can grind them a bit for some useful TMs and items...) Cyndaquil next, eh? Finally doing a starter run. Good luck with that one, definitely looking forward to it!

[@daltonbooth2738]

7:15 this is kinda true, but you can change their exp gains to fast for most pokemon I believe, which should make it faster

[@MidlothianOdyssey]

You should see if you can get a rom of Hawlucha in one of the earlier gens. An Emerald-Hawlucha run would be pretty damn cool! Or maybe Fire Red and you could include the post-game too! Gen 1 games could be fun too cause Flying/Fighting is a pretty cool type, but could actually still be challenging with how underpowered both of those types are in the RBY games. Why Hawlucha? Because it's the perfect Pokemon for you! A luchador fighting through small independent circuits(the gyms) and working its way to PokeMania 2025 & battling the champion for the gold? Commentary would be as epic as it was in your one video where Pokemon were wrestlers. Also, great run as always. Your Regigigas runs kick ass :)

[@hhjan594]

7:41 "I made sure to pick up the leftovers in the sewers before the bug gym because I'm not insane. It's gotta be the easiest to get Leftovers in any Pokemon game right?" A statement that shows how unfamiliar MDB is with the newer games (and I'm not surprised) In Gen8 Sword and Shield, you can pick up the Leftovers in a corner in the wild area, shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to pick if up if you know the path, and that's 2 cities away from the first gym. In Gen9... Gen9 is an open game world. You are free to pick up anything lying on the ground before your first gym as long as you can reach it. The Leftovers item is found in Medali which it's totally possibly to make your way over there are pick up the dang item before fighting any gyms.

[@kazekamiha]

Beheeyem is psychic. Also I think it's meant to be pronounced as B-E-M; an acronym for Bug-Eyed-Monster.

probably a mix between that and behemoth

[@MrPippo713]

Hey MDB, these games have post game Cynthia and N fights. It would be cool to see those in these challenge run if you have time to

[@AquibMohammedAyman]

Now that you have played with pokemons like reggigigas (who needs stalling to get his acts together) and Slaking (with truant), will you consider playing with pokemons who have the ability defeatist like archeon? Since playing with a single pokemon means you are almost bound to get hit, defeatist will be a sure handicap!

Just the Rival leading with his Starter instead of a Munchlax really helps in those double battles.

[@danielbutler8103]

I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is. For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.

[@littlepandapal2450]

A good idea for black and white runs would be to have your Pokémon battling hold the exp share. Because of how it works, it doubles the exp they get.

[@mimikyu4327]

This is Week 2 of asking for a Pokemon game of your choice with only moves that Pokemon can learn in Pokemon Go. I would personally recommend a game with easy access to move reminders and deleters, like SwSh or SV, but you could probably do it in any game. I did this run in Shield, and my rules included: -Only moves that a Pokemon in the game can learn in Go (So for example, Magnemite can only use Thunder Shock, Spark, Volt Switch, Metal Sound, Discharge, Magnet Bomb, and Thunderbolt.) -"Common Sense moves" are allowed (So, for example, one signature move on legendaries or the Ultimate Moves on Starters. I only used this rule to make raid grinding easier by giving Eternatus Dynamax Cannon) -One encounter per area (Completely optional, but stops you from picking only good Pokemon. This inderectly led to me using Klefki against Leon, since after going through every available encounter, that and a low-level Snorunt was all i had for Dragons) Also some other rules i considered but didn't use -1 fast move and 2 charged moves. (Replicating possible PoGo movesets) -Protect allowed (Pokemon Go "Protect Shields") The main difficulty of this challenge comes from the fact that some Pokemon have really had movepools, including very little coverage, very few status inflicting options (There are only 4 Pokemon lines that can use Yawn to inflict sleep, for example), and some Pokemon getting no moves that work with their stats (For example, most of Empoleon's Special options are higher level, like Hydro Pump, or TMs, like Blizzard) Also, I'm only posting this on Pokemon Challenges since I don't want to be the person who spends time spamming a request on non-Pokemon related things, and I don't have Discord and don't really want to set up an account just to spam one section on your Discord.

[@Lebon19]

That was a nice level Regigigas.

[@TrueBlueThew]

For the Pokémon World Tournament, or PWT, all the Pokemon you fight on your first time through will be level 25, except for your Pokemon, so you’re not stuck trying to beat the PWT with your team leveled down to level 25, but anytime after you do the PWT, your team will be level 25. Also, with all the different colored shards that you get, you can go into the PWT, and then immediately quit in your first battle to get a free random colored shard, or if that’s too much work, you could just hack in the shards. It’s dealer’s choice which one you want to do, if this is a strategy you want to attempt

[@AZ-rl7pg]

It's funny seeing how easy this run went after my Black 2 run with Slakoth (with evolutions). I had Vigoroth before I could even beat the first gym. I should have just started with Slaking like you did in your run, just the difference in base stats would have saved me so much time. Also it didn't help the run at all when apparently in gen 5 opponents with moves like dig will time them so they're always underground on turns you can attack so you just have to grind it out until they run out of PP. I think I was in the 80s before I could beat the Elite 4.

I was thinking a fun challenge you could do that still gives you a team would be, new team before each new challenge (gym's, and elite four). You could also extend that to rivals/evil team leaders if you wanted to. So the idea becomes using only the pokemon found before the challenges and boxing them once you win and catch a whole new team in the area's before.
