That Deerling would've needed a perfect 31 IV and 248 EVs, or 30 IV and 252 EVs in order to hit 143 at level 65. That was nearly perfect by sheer chance.

[@stardf29]

14:38 So I checked with a stat calculator, and at Lv. 65, a neutral nature Deerling with max Attack IVs and EVs would have 144 Attack. So yeah, your Deerling with 143 Attack had max or near-max Attack IVs and had incidentally maxed or near-maxed its Attack EVs.

[@silverrey7379]

Also, he somehow managed to avoid getting any SpDef EVs

[@JDP5127]

@@silverrey7379 It is a pain in the but to get Special Defence EVs in BW, at least for a playthrough. The earliest ones are Frillish if I remember right from my attempts at a nuzlocke. All the other EVs you can get pretty easy, especially ATK as the first route is only ATK ev pokemon, and the next several are very heavy on ATK EV pokemon. Prior to the first gym you only get Attack and Speed.

[@Undrave]

And Feint Attack would have 2HKO'd most of Shauntal's Pokémon.

This Deerling was insane. Near perfect EVs and IVs for its Attack stat, STAB Return, and a powerful Fighting move for the Rock and Steel types that resist Normal moves.

Hmm... I think using Feint Attack on the Ghosts would have worked better than Shadow Ball since it's physical. It sucks that Deerling only gets Seed Bomb by tutor in B2W2 and doesn't get Horn Leech before evolving. EDIT: I checked the Showdown Damage Calculator and your Deerling was a guaranteed 2HKO against Cofagrigus with Feint Attack. Just equip a berry to cure burn.

[@piratebear3126]

Deerling and Sawsbuck is one of my favorite Pokemon from Gen V, and was excited to see it back in all its forms in Scarlet and Violet. In Gen 6 you could only get the Spring version without breeding a transferred Deerling and Gens 7 and 8 just didn’t have him.

[@_Pikalika_]

Gen 5 is really cool. Would love to see a Litwick only run Or gen 6 runs as well, a lot of great Pokemon to try

[@BardicLasher]

So, your grinding spot of choice has Tympole, Pidove, Sawk, and Timburr. Of these, Pidove, Sawk, and Timburr give Attack EVs, while Tympole gives Speed EVs. By grinding here this early, you likely maxed out Deerling's attack EVs, so it probably had 30 IV, which is still very good. Maybe keep this in mind for future runs: If you want Attack, that grinding spot will get you lots of it.

[@CrazyCyranYT]

Here's a tip for if you're playing Black 2 or White 2: In Mistralton City Professor Juniper gives you a lucky egg which doubled the amount of exp you gain this has helped me a lot in the late game and help me get Chuck to level 70 with ease

[@tgh1466]

The Deerling line is one of my favorite! I know you lucked out with the attack stat, but I still choose to believe that this video shows that Deerling is in the top percentage of Pokemon and its a crime it was so hard to have one in your party after gen V, at least until Scarlet/Violet

[@animeakumaakuma5236]

Fallout 4 with no perks MDB: I think that's going to be a hard one. Me when my entire first run was no perks because I didn't scroll down the bar and only saw the skills: Vietnam flashbacks to 2018-2019

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

You could of made this so much easier if you reminded faint attack ( or just kept it) . 60 bp physical super effective move is significantly better then shadow ball or wild charge

[@depressivesophomore2911]

I was thinking about Faint Attack, too. Was going back to the Move Reminder too much trouble? Chandelure's Flame Body might give some trouble.

[@TheMurphination]

An idea should you ever do another one of these runs! I get why you replaced Snivy with Deerling, but maybe pick a starter so that one rival always has the advantage and one ISN'T weak to you! To elaborate, I did a run of BW with Klutz Golett and I replaced Tepig so that both rivals had a starter effective against me (It was absolutely brutal)! It makes me think how different this run would be like had Bianca had Emboar and Cheren had Serperior!

[@pokeplayerHQ]

Why I love Chandelure - 145 Base Special Attack. Add in the fact it learns Calm Mind and can learn a variety of Special Coverage Moves, and you have a Pokemon that can be a serious threat. It's a Fire/Ghost Pokemon you don't want to underestimate. Yeah, Gen 5 was definitely the Power Creep, my friend. And this was all BEFORE Mega Evolution hit.

These challenge runs are always funniest to imagine in-universe in Black and White, considering how high-stakes and personal the story is in those games. Just the idea of demolishing N's legendary dragon with this small deer and then sweeping the final boss with it always makes me laugh. These challenge runs are great!

[@geologist1235]

MDB after you hit level 32 (when deerling naturally learns energy ball) and have the tm for grass knot (and have access to the move reminder [Driftveil]), you would be able to switch between energy ball and grass knot interchangeably. If your deerling had energy ball and you wanted it to have grass knot, all you would have to do is use the grass knot tm, and if your deerling had grass knot and you wanted it to have energy ball, all you would have to do is pay the move reminder one heart scale to relearn it. However, this introduces another problem, how to get infinite heart scales (legit), but luckily, in Driftveil there is an npc who will give you one heart scale per day if you show her a pokemon with whatever TM/HM move she wants to see that day. So, for instance she might ask you to show her a pokemon which knows cut, at which point you pull out your handy-dandy HM slave and score a free heart scale. Repeatedly setting your clock forward a day would allow you to get something like a heart scale every 2-5 minutes, I would estimate. And it gets better too! The "move lover," as bulbapedia terms her, will only ever ask to see moves that you already have the TM or HM for, meaning that in this one pokemon challenge she will only ask for a pokemon knowing Grass knot (which your Deerling should already know if you are trying to teach it energy ball), all the required HM's which you presumably already have a pokemon for, and the required TMs the gym leaders give you: Retaliate, Volt Switch, Work Up, Dragon Tail, Struggle Bug, Bulldoze, Frost Breath, and Acrobatics. To that purpose, I would recommend (for future gen V runs if the same problem occurs) catching a scraggy (retaliate, dragon tail, & work up), a dwebble (bulldoze & struggle bug), an emolga (acrobatics & voltswitch), & any gen V ice type (frost breath). While you might be tempted to use the pan--- pokemon (the elemental monkey) the game forces on you since they learn acrobatics and work up, I can promise you that it would not be worth it unless you plan on getting lucky. (If you want to know why, it is in the next paragraph.) There actually is another 4 (first form) pokemon combination that fulfills all of the required TM's AND include the free monke: a Pan--- monkey (acrobatics & work up), a Druddigon (retaliate, bulldoze, dragon tail), a Joltik (struggle bug & voltswitch), and any ice type (Frost breath); however, Druddigon and Joltik are both problems because you run into them after you get to Driftveil city, the first point in the run that this method of swapping moves should be possible. This is problematic because Druddigon is supposed to represent 3 TM's including retaliate, which you will certainly get before druddigon and even Driftveil (the second gym leader, Lenora, gives it to you). Thus, when you get to Driftveil, you are inable to necessarily get one heart scale per resetting the clock because occasionally the Move Lover will ask you for a pokemon with retaliate, which you won't have yet. The problem is similar in joltik's case: you can not get joltik until beating Clay (they are found in Chargestone cave) but need a joltik to present struggle bug (given to the player by the 3rd gym leader) & voltswitch (given to you by the 4th gym leader). Inevitably you would be forced to catch 3 extra pokemon because no pokemon (you can catch before the elite 4) learns even just two of those (voltswitch, retaliate, and struggle bug) except for joltik, nullifying any advantage you could have gotten by using the free monke. Concluding statements: I have no idea if this strategy would be time efficient or helpful to you, but I though might as well help expand your Pokemon challenge tool box, especially since it gave me an excuse to research my favorite pokemon game! (Btw. cubchoo learns frost breath, HM01 cut, HM03 surf, & HM04 strength) Also, since I got distracted before actually watching the video, I think you are going to succeed. Deerling is pretty good imo though I have never tried one of these challenges so I don't really know if not being able to evolve will really be that detrimental.

[@gabr.7878]

I don't think I've ever seen a deerling challenge run before. I like

“We took a ton of damage, got burned and lost” Yep that sounds like a Shauntal fight in a single Pokémon run. Nice job. Go Deerling go.

[@Dansedrengen]

Glad to see this run. I remember I have asked for it quite some time ago and now it's finally here. Nice work MDB. Even if the Attack had not been so high I think the middle game would still have been managable with only minor obstickles. Well that guesswork but that's just my opinion

[@rdbeef5645]

I love learning so much about a Pokémon like Deerling, which I've never used. It really makes you appreciate the amount of time and effort that goes into these games, when most people will probably only actually use 10% of any regions given roster of Pokémon.

[@Nalucha]

Undeertaker may be my favorite nickname you’ve ever given a pokemon 😂 Also, in the future for Black and White, doing the elite four again so you can fight Alder as a final boss (similar to Red or Steven) would be really cool

[@perkypenguin1663]

I’m surprised by how well Deerling did! It makes me happy because Grass is my favorite type, plus I just like it and Sawsbuck a lot. One thing I will say is that I’m surprised you didn’t get a Heart Scale to relearn Faint Attack when it came time to fight Shauntal. It could very well have OHKOed the more threatening ghosts.

[@C0DY420]

I have an idea for a unique challenge: Pokémon but you can only use stab moves, but you can make an exception at the first rival battle because you’ll get your first stab move immediately after

[@stardf29]

I wonder if Lenora can be beaten earlier with some help from Sand-Attack. Definitely requires some luck but if you can get Watchog to miss Retaliate, future uses shouldn't get the 2x damage boost from an ally fainting the previous turn. Still, only needing Lv. 24 to reliably beat Lenora is great. Overall Deerling was a boss against a big chunk of the game, especially once it got STAB Return. That combined with Jump Kick coverage allowed it to deal with any non-Ghost-type really well. Alas, Ghost-types were in fact the one thing that kept it from being truly dominant, as seen with Shauntal (and to an extent Ghetsis's Cofagrigus). Still, a really great run in which a young deer demolishes almost any opponent in its path. Undeertaker indeed.

I like deerling/sawsbuck! Hoping it does well but early game is probably gonna be pretty rough. I did a monotype normal run and had a great time, Sawsbuck and Cinccino were my powerhouse sweepers. Actually I'd like to recommend a minccino only run then now that I think about it, it's move pool is passable and it's stars are pretty bad, but the Technician and Skill link abilities have some fun uses that could make the run interesting. Skill link is definitely better on the evolved from though, since it learns rock blast and bullet seed

[@redangelsixsixseven]

Awesome run as always gen 5 runs are always great to see. Hopefully you can fight alder or Cynthia like you would red or Steven in faster runs. Here's a challenge idea in any pokemon game of your choice use the first pokemon of each gym leaders team to beat the game. Ex: gen 1 Brock Geodude,misty Staryu, surge Voltorb etc. Gen 2 Falkner Pidgey, bugsy metapod, Whitney clafairy, etc. Your choice if you wanna use their exact moveset or not.

Chandelure's base special attack is 145 so yeah, Bambi was guaranteed to be toasted by base 120 power Fire Blast.

An idea for a series could be where you use your favorite pokemon from a generation and get to carry that pokemon forward, so the Gen1 mon gets traded to gen2, gen1+2 to gen3, etc. Would obviously get easier as the series goes on and you get more and more pokemon, but that is part of the fun.

Deerling line is a top tier design and pretty powerful moves in casual play, underrated mon.

I have two ideas for some runs: Vulpix in the generation of you choice. I could see Gen 5 being interesting for some move variety, however i'm not sure, if you can get some interesting before the post game. Second idea: How about an Eeveelution run? I suppose Gen 4 diamond/perl/platin might be interesting for you. You can obtain all evolution stones, all friendship evolutions and the back then new gen 4 evolutions. Otherwise gen 2 in crystal might be interesting, even though it's post game you get the stones.

Yeah chandelure is a beast. People often run it with a choice scarf because it actually hits so hard.
