Yeah, even more so with the FLYING gem, Acrobatics + STAB = 165 base power if you are not holding an item. Acrobatics + STAB + Flying gem = 248 BASE POWER, THAT'S 2 POWER LOWER THAN EXPLOSION, sure you only get that off once per fight, but it will delete practically EVERYTHING short of a Sturdy target. And if you then have Unburden, THAT activates too for double base speed. Not staged speed, BASE. And yes, this works. The gem is consumed before the base power check on Acrobatics. It's one of the main reasons Gems hasn't returned. Because Acrobatics + Flying gem was THAT broken.

I think Eviolite is fine, especially for things like the ground gym where you straight up had no other answers for it other than grinding and had to go from 50 to 52 to finish it, that likely could have been not needed with Eviolite since the attempt at level 50 looked it would have came down to you getting an extra critical hit in. Also another way to think of it: it might make the fight(s) you're CURRENTLY struggling with easier but you'd also not end up as over leveled making the game a lot more fair since you wouldn't need to be 10+ levels over that one thing you're struggling with (ideally speaking anyways)

As a small time saver, lots of people in the Pokemon community call an "all stat boost"/"stats boost" an omni-boost (omni as a prefix means all). You can of course call them whatever you want but it is a bit less of a mouthful full in my opinion to say omni-boost, plus it sounds cool.

Is there a reason you don't fight Alder when you do B/W runs? You usually attempt Red and Steven, but I can't remember a time when you tried Alder after beating Ghetsis.
@coreDesignix
@coreDesignix 2 ай бұрын
My best guess would be that, instead of just fighting one new trainer, you have to fight a gauntlet you've already gone through to get back to Alder. Admittedly, the elite 4 is buffed up the second time around, but it's the same group of trainers essentially right after you've *just* fought them (since there's really no major hurdles between beating the game and being able to challenge the elite 4 again) and it wouldn't make for very good content. That, or Ghetsis in the main story is already taking up the slot of post-champion battle boss fight, or the exp formula in gen5 onwards makes grinding up for that take to long, or something.

Flying Gem + Acrobatics is cracked as hell. B/c the items gets used up BEFORE Acrobatics resolves, so you get the boost from the gem, THEN the full powered Acrobatic b/c you're not holding anything. Not to mention the boost from STAB on top of all that. So farming a few Flying Gems at the very least can't hurt.
@knate44
@knate44 2 ай бұрын
Unburden can actually be pretty good gen 5! Acrobatics+flying gem for instance is kind of an insane combo since it give you an insanely powerful 55x2x1.5 for a massive 165 base power before STAB, and doubles your speed until you switch out it's nuts. It's really good if you need to open with one big punch and the rest of the team can be easily swept.

It's a part of the game, after all. You should probably mention when you're using it, though, just for transparency's sake.

The other awesome part about remakes is you can use Pokemon that weren’t in the original. Such as Stunky in HeartGold (that’s my idea of the week). I do also think Eviolite is fair game in Black. It’s not a free win button but can still give you the edge in close battles, plus it eats up your item slot and keeps Acrobatics from being 110 BP.

Not to be that guy, but Return is technically still more powerful than Acrobatics. Acrobatics, due to its restrictions against held items, can only reach up to 165 Power (55 [Base power] x2 [for no held item] x1.5 [STAB]) naturally... with an exception that I'll get to in a moment. Return, meanwhile, is 102 base power, so STAB can only take it to 153 Power, but a Silk Scarf (1.2x boost) takes it up to 183.6 (which probably rounds-up, but I'm not sure what the game actually does with decimals) and a Life Orb (1.3x boost) takes it to a whopping 198.9 Power. Providing I'm doing my math right. Now. There's two caveats. The first, and most obvious, is that Acrobatics can actually be super-effective on targets, and only has one more type that resists it (Electric). Which is an obvious booster to utility. The second, and perhaps more absurd, is that... apparently (according to Bulbapedia) Flying Gems are used *_before_* Acrobatics checks for a held item. Which means STAB Acrobatics can get a frankly absurd 1-time boost from a Flying Gem (1.5x power) to give it an unbelievable 247.5 (again I don't know how the game handles rounding) Power. That's more than STAB Hyper Beam (225)! By contrast, Return can only crank-out a maximum of 229.5 Power with a Normal Gem. Once again, these are single-use items, so, Return users may still favor a more enduring Held Item to a single-use one-but Acrobatics users will have no such reservations... as long as you can acquire enough Gems. I suppose I should also mention that, assuming non-STAB typing use cases, Acrobatics actually does win-out in a lot of cases, since a non-STAB Return user is less likely to be using a Held Item to maximize its power, anyways. However, Acrobatics is also a lot harder to come by outside of Flying Types... at least compared to Return, which can be learned by almost anything; Acrobatics is, by no means, an uncommon move. There's no real point to this; Acrobatics is a truly beastly move, and is probably more *_valuable_* than Return, for its type-coverage... but, in terms of (sustained) raw hitting power, Return does technically have a potential to be stronger. I have been careful not to use the word "better" thus far, as I largely view these two moves as being on equal footing-though, given the choice, I'm sure I'd probably pick Acrobatics.

It is always fun to watch these because of the gaps of knowledge sometimes, but it does slow them quite a lot also. Calling Unburden a useless ability while having a flying type and acrobatics is astonishing. Prestatusing and holding a curing berry will let you outspeed almost anything. Also at the ghost type E4 just hold a rawst berry if you know you always get the turn 1 burn. I think this is were these challenges can get even more interesting if these small things would be applied. Now they usually turn into overlevelling or crit luck.

Well, that ended up being surprisingly brutal. Thanks for sharing that run with us. But for future runs, I'd be completely okay with you using the Eviolite, on the grounds that 1. it's something the game provides you, so it's not like it counts as cheating, and 2. considering how weak most of the Pokemon you use are, and how rough Black and White are for solo runs, I don't think it would make things too easy. Back to Shuckle, eh? Oh goodie. Well, Shuckle has a good movepool this time around, and you get Return right away, so maybe it won't be quite so bad this time around? Hopefully?

Very good video ! An idea for a challenge doing pokemon firered with only a Mismagius.

The most broken move in black is acrobatics paired with a flying gem. The flying gem boost activates, and the game gives you the full power of acrobatics because you're no longer holding an item. Its really good for destroying single pokemon.

i think eviolite is a valid strat in gen 5 solo runs. many other challenge runners I've watched have discovered that despite how good it is Eviolite is not always the correct play.

One unsung benefit of reusable TMs is being able to replenish the PP of those moves for free, which is very useful if you're 1monning the E4. You basically take off the move with a random other TM, then put it back on, and voila, fresh PP. If you have enough elixirs and others you don't need to worry of course, but even in a normal run it can be useful if you're out and about and don't want to go back to a Pokemon centre.

I haven't seen anyone else doing this, at least not semi-popular creators, but I really think randomized move runs would be hilarious. Here are the rules that I thought would make things somewhat fair. One Pokemon (pick whatever you want) Moves: 1st: Randomized offensive STAB move 2nd: Randomized offensive move 3rd and 4th: Completely randomized move I think this would be so fun to watch and play and could create some OP runs or some absolutely brutal runs.

This video taught me that the Acrobatics boost will work if you just don’t equip an item. All this time I thought the item had to be consumed mid-battle. Turns out it’s just mildly more efficient.

On the topic of Eviolite, I personally prefer it to higher levels / grinding. Personal bias and all that, but I find Eviolite to be a cool item that sadly doesn't get as much use as I'd like.

As a suggestion for a team run would love to see all steel types in any gen. For solo id really like to see Aron in gen 3 or HG/SS

As for using Eviolite, I would say if you're struggling at a spot, esp closer to the end game, it couldn't hurt to use before going the over levelling route.

Considering how bad gen 5's xp scaling works I'd say that evolite should 100% be on the table for fights you would otherwise need to overgrind for. Actually thinking on it, evolite could lead to more interesting puzzles later on in a run because you wont be as overleveled to progress. I couldn't suggest any hard and fast rules for using it exactly, but I think it should be a tool in the bag. :)

Pausing really early after the mention of Patrat or however it's pronounced. I think it would be funny to do a run with one of those named Ratatta.

Maybe you can try the Cynthia superboss in Undella Town after the League for your next Black and White run one day, it can be fun. ^^
