Good to know I wasn't the only one. I think his concern was that he would be powering up Wallace's water type moves. But it wouldn't make that much of a difference since he would become water type as well and resist

[@Bje1998]

You were screaming? It’s Pokémon buddy

[@voltstrom]

Yeah, I was looking around castform's moveset, I saw that it can learn psych up by a move tutor, maybe that could have be helpful? And not the Move Tutor that takes heart scales... one of the random tutors that teaches a specific move to a pokemon once. Aaannddd... nevermind. To get Psych Up on a Castform, you need access to the Battle Frontier...

It might have been a choice due to the lower PP.

[@wilcosloetjes7731]

Just as a heads-up, but there was no reason to be afraid of Slaking's Counter since it only works if the opponent uses a physically typed move. Since Rain was active during the fight, Weather Ball changed type to Water, which means it turned into a special based attack. Yay pre-physical/special split generations! Edit: Slaking is still scary though

[@ShinyTillDawn]

Sunny day would also be better for Steven. And Blizzard's accuracy is still 70% in the sun.

[@jacencade4019]

Id like to see some second stage evolutions like wartortle

[@ShinyTillDawn]

@@jacencade4019 To give you insight, almost every _first_ form Pokemon makes an easy challenge in a Pokemon game since pretty much every Pokemon can learn Return, Double Team, and at least 1 other high-power TM (or even Protect, Substitute and Toxic), and the only thing MDB knows what to do is spam Double Team (which isn't a legitimate strategy). Second forms have higher base stat totals, making such runs far easier. The only second stage Pokemon that would be a challenge are stuff like Wobbuffet, Chansey, Kakuna and Metapod.

[@ShinyTillDawn]

​@@koolaidman4869 You take solely relying on RNG to the extreme with using double team. (like using focus band Shedinja) At that point, it doesn't matter what your Pokemon's weaknesses are. If they can use will-o-wisp, toxic, or any relatively strong attacking move, alongside double team, then it's a few resets until you can get an easy win. Even if you are too weak to ohko mons, it doesn't matter, as you can just evade every single attack, and take your sweet time to KO them in however many hits, or PP stall their accurate moves. When competitive players depend on PP stall, they take taking damage into account by using substitute and a recovery move, as that is what Pokemon battling is about, taking damage, and dealing with it. Also, ideally, competitive players use math to think about how much damage their Pokemon (can afford to) take and how much is required to 1 hit KO their opponents. They do not abuse most forms of random number generation as they are not consistent methods to win multiple battles. Double team is not a strategy, it's an anti-strategy, as you just nullify the need for other stats except Speed -- yours and your opponents'. Also, it turns every turn into spinning a wheel and hoping your opponent does not kill you. Why do you think Smogon has banned the move?

As some of the others pointed towards thunder has 100% acc in the rain, there was also the thing about solar beam and sunny day.

[@lawrencebaker9438]

Heyop! Big fan of your videos, this one was a banger! Everyone has already mentioned Thunder but I thought I should point out how powerful weather ball really is. Wasnt sure if you were aware how powerful weatherball really is for castform, as you've said its a base power 100 attack in weather plus stab. I'm not sure if you realised its powered up by both stab AND weather. Fire and water are 100 (base power) x 1.5(stab) x 1.5(weather) x1.1(mystic water/charcoal) so its power = 247.5 Hail Weatherball is only 165 power with never melt so ice beam is probably more efficient than swapping it for Hail. Also pp is important aha. Thunderbolt and Ice beam are only power 90. I mean really the elite four should have been easier if you just used weather ball. (p.s.- if you know all this ignore everything, love your channel ^.^)

[@williammaccabe9402]

I support that idea, though it would start like the Plusle/Minun challange, since Ralts doesn't learn an attacking move until level 6 (Confusion). At least it only has to get a single level and waste only 40 power points instead of 60 unlike Plusle.

[@enzoforgets9456]

but ice beam and it doesnt get storm drain til gen 5

[@Venomous9]

Thank you for taking my advice! Interesting to see how it worked out.

[@tony2939]

This is clearly too easy for him, lets make him do a challenge with only a caterpie and a weedle

[@frenchball1311]

BaboonMan BaboonMan oh yes If he did with magikarp So its ez with caterpie or weedle I think caterpie is harder caus he doesnt learn a poison attack while poison sting has a 30% of poison (not badly) So caterpie is the choice

[@OidhcheLanFala]

Which joke do you like more: Joey or Fossile? I prefer getting Joey from reviving the fossile.

[@trevrah]

Same. The fossile joke has honestly gotten old for me in the whole year I've been watching MDB's videoes.

[@SoggyCoffeeAddict]

I like hatching youngster (or as he called him in one video, younger) Joey and then him giving you the Lord Helix fossil as a reward

[@rollingskatteswabajack347]

Nah, fossil rains supreme

[@brishrestha6007]

Here's an idea: Can I beat pokemon fire red with only 1 meowth? Love your videos, I'm excited to see how this challenge works out!

[@Magmatic07]

Tion has that already, I think.

[@alexschlessman5355]

Ok how about a playthrough with using the move bite. Any pokemon with bite. Squirtle eevee meowth, whatever you wnat just bite

[@chaosdragun1608]

Love the mallow name drop. Super Mario rpg legend of seven stars was one of my favorite childhood games.

[@mrussell1018]

Good run, seemed a little more challenging than I was expecting from everyone’s comments. Keep it up!

[@randomlantern]

What about Pokemon Platinum using only a Starly? Can the lil beep cheep take on Cynthia? Edit : Also 6:48 "Water Ball" , nice

[@keaganjolliff2380]

@MandJTV will love this. Can he get a HAIL YEAH!

“I named him mallow” SUPER MARIO RPG LP WHEN

[@yamiryushi]

@Cameron Hudson No. Because Legend of the 7 stars is LITERALLY called super mario rpg: legend of the 7 stars.

[@zacharybancroft747]

Noooo thunder and rain bypasses accuracy😭 you could have avoided a lot of problems you had with accuracy in the elite 4 this way!

[@TruBluLew23]

That and he also forgot that Sunny Day would weaken water moves so the water moves would do the same damage on Fire Castform as they would on Normal Castform. Still a good run though. Castform is such a fun pokemon 😊

[@ShinyTillDawn]

Thunder is only needed for Wallace; Thunderbolt and other TMs are fine for the other Elite 4 members. Using Solar beam was actually feasible. I know since I did this challenge, too.

[@silverrey7379]

[@psyche_tomten3291]

Love these videos! How you resisted making an innuendo joke about weatherball I'll never know!

[@flareon350]

I don't comment much on KZbin but I figure I would here. Been a big fan of these Pokemon Challenges you've been doing! They're a lot of fun to watch and listen to and I look forward to them every Saturday. I have a suggestion for one you might enjoy though - Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire with a single Magnemite. Specifically those games due to Steven being the Champion with harder to hit Steel types and a Claydol, and having very little coverage as opposed to the easier Wallace in Emerald with the type advantage. Ruby could be even more challenging due to Team Magma being the antagonists with Ground types than Aqua with Water types in Sapphire. Figure it could be an interesting one :)

The move thunder always hits when rain is in effect.

[@kaelankinneavy8147]

One of the best epesodes...good job

[@midnightthoughts2422]

Pokemon Heartgold with only using the same type of team against each gym leader (only flying pokemon against Falkner, only dragon against Clair, etc) This would make Kanto maybe even worth mentioning

[@kazzar831]

"I name him Mallow, cause he's a cloud person" - I understood that reference.

[@elecmanrobotmaster1702]

I wonder why castform don't have a ground form in sand storm

It would be rock, the move is rock type for no reason

DUNSPARCE ONLY RUN: POKÉMON GOLD!!

Yes. I’ve been asking for a dunsparce run for several videos now. It’s one of my favorite Pokémon.

[@master1442p]

Hey! I'm a big fan and very impressed with this series, Idea for a new challenge, pokemon fire red with a mew that doesn't obey you? I believe it'll do a move randomly and loft around but can imagine you pulling it off

[@crisiszaniki5584]

Hey MDB! Love the channel! Can you try spinirak in Johto? I think you would love the challenge.

[@landenfasy4688]

Here’s a good idea: Maybe Emerald with only a slakoth?

[@ajayshirole3729]

[@Nick-vl8zx]

Btw for future runs, rain dance makes thunder hit no matter what so you don't have to worry about accuracy

[@burningtaubsi1208]

How about a Gen2 run with only 1 Pineco ? Love the vids, keep on being aweseome :D

[@poptomism1234]

Try beating pokemon emerald with only one Smeargle. Sketch is a weird move so I think this will be pretty difficult.

Great video but when is the next crusader kings 2 playthrough? :)

[@aceclover758]

Castform is fun to use. I loved using mine in Black 2. Make sure to give it speed EVs to quickly set up a weather move.

[@ShinyTillDawn]

I've done this before, and it's pretty easy until Wallace, but you can win with some luck and crazy strategy. I beat Steven at like Level 84, and I didn't even need _weather ball!_ Edit: I used Sunny day for a majority of my run, instead, since you could buy Flamethrower before beating the 2nd gym.

[@ShinyTillDawn]

@idk maybe memes ;D Yes, and I know. It took me like 15 attempts to beat Wallace and the winning one involved Thunder, Solar Beam, Sunny Day & Rain Dance. For Steven, I won with Sunny Day, Protect, Fire blast and Blizzard. If Castform was at Lv 100, I would be able to wing it with a more mundane strategy.

Because every Pokemon is someones favorite

@@applejacks3925 I just want him to tell me why.

[@garbodude4365]

@Shadow the KZbinr, two reasons: 1- I just think it looks neat and I love the idea of a prehistoric artifact coming to life from Moon Magic™️, and 2- a good buddy of mine bred me one years ago for a trick room team, around gen 5 or so, and it worked really well for me; on top of that, it was around that time I discovered this (now defunct) Pokémon website called PokeProfiles, that did neat reviews of lesser used Pokémon and what move sets worked on them. The article for claydol was great and it made me appreciate what it can do more, so I’ve tried to use it as often as I’m able. Just a neat floaty eyeball dude

[@jakecooper5855]
