[@c.m.9369]

Just about the "Why does this guy learn Watergun" question: In real life, most of these type of fossils we find on earth come from aquatic animals. Which is why the first-Gen fossils were mostly water type pokemon. Probably to avoid too much redundancy, they started using new type combinations ("Bug" makes sense as well, because all of these fossil creatures are also part of the arthropode phylum), but they still wanted to keep with its original theme of being inspired by these real-life animals. So, to me it makes sense. But then again... I'm a biology nerd and love taxonomy X-D

[@SamiiSam128]

Very insightful, thanks!

[@stonehermo6531]

He is also modeled off of an ancient sea creature called anomalocaris so it kinda makes sense the ancient shrimp boi would get water gun. (Former dino nerd kid lol)

[@LiquidPear131]

I was thinking something similar. Also, to add on your comment, the "rock type" that the fossil pokemon have is there because they're revived fossils, they weren't rock types back when they weren't extinct (if I remember correctly). So Anorith learning Water Gun could be because back in the day, it actually was Water/Bug

[@krankarvolund7771]

@@LiquidPear131 That's a theory that had never been official ^^' Another theory is that only rock types can survive fossilization enough to be revived.

[@LucyRoseLuna]

yes he did

[@kingsnake7596]

I just started watching I hope he takes one of the fossils added in gen 5 like Tortuga because defeatist is bad

[@albertbass18]

Cradily is so much more effective running a stall set. Toxic, Sandstorm, Ingrain, Confuse Ray. Your battles may be slow with him but he become extremely difficult if not impossible to take down. Especially if he is holding either leftovers or bright powder

[@TheGhostFart]

leftovers is effectively a postgame item in RSE, unobtainable for story runs unless you trade.

[@nautgamingnautgaming9949]

Brightpowder not till post-game either Also offensive cradily is better because 1 ap boost n u sweep fights That being said lileep is awful to use

[@MahDryBread]

It's an awesome strategy, but I can't really pull it off in one of these runs. Stalling strategies almost never work out in favour of the person with less Pokemon in these runs

[@tanner6260]

I've done this exact challenge before (except I think I allowed myself to use items), and I used Ingrain a lot, and also Leech Seed maybe? Yeah he's stuck in until he faints, but cradily can do a lot of damage this way still.

[@ZorotheGallade]

That might have worked perhaps on Wallace. But against a full Steel team, not so much.

[@LBrooklyn99]

(Ricky) Morton and (Robert) Gibson of The Rock 'n' Roll Express - impressed they are still going strong as a tag team in their 60's and irony since Morton made it to the Elite 4 at level 60 with Gibson younger than Morton as well. 👏👏👏 Love the references you did here, MDB. Keep up the great work.

[@kylethecherry-nosesanalite1723]

Took me like half the episode to piece that together. What a throwback.

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

If there was a third fossil he could have named it Cornette

[@mr.austin2278]

I’m upset their on there farewell tour 🥺

[@timothyrowland8294]

I got the name reference. The Rock & Roll Express. Who are still doing Indy shows

[@VictiniTheGreat]

When it comes to grinding, if you want to do it and have the time to do it, more power to you. If you just want to play through the game or don't have a lot of time I think rare candies are fine as long as you aren't overlevelling unnecessarily (so try the gyms at the level cap, then if you lose give the mons a rare candy each and try again until you win). Grinding can get tedious and the only real advantage to it is EV training and potential random shiny. Even worse in nuzlockes because people tend to not pay attention while grinding and can lose a mon.

[@thest0mpa]

i agree especially with something like anorith at the start where it is very obvious that you have 0 chance before water gun and only from that point are you going to have a chance so why waste many hours grinding there (especially in emerald where it is ungodly slow) when its not like theres going to be much variation like some other runs where 1 or 2 more levels might make the difference

[@MahDryBread]

I think the grinding is especially impactful in early game because of the EV aspect. Even if I were to have unlimited rare candy from the start, not getting as many EV's would probably impact the run

[@VictiniTheGreat]

@@MahDryBread You could also bring in vitamins to help with that and use them very sparingly along the way to replace the EVs you would have gotten from grinding, and you would only be allowed to give EVs you can get at that point in the game (So on the first route you could use a Carbos or two if there are wild mons that give Speed EVs, but if there are no pokemon that give Special Attack EVs then you can't give them a Calcium). Maybe have a limit of 1 vitamin per artificial grinding session in the early game and 2-3 in the late game.

[@MahDryBread]

@@VictiniTheGreat Ehh, I'd rather not. There's no way I'd be able to use just the right amount of vitamins to make it just right. I'd rather just grind

[@VictiniTheGreat]

@@MahDryBread Fair enough, to each their own!

[@morrigankasa570]

Technically you could get up to 5 Fossil Pokemon in Emerald. You could trade Aerodactyl, Kabuto, and Omanyte to Emerald from LeafGreen/FireRed. Also Armaldo is based off an ancient Sea Creature so makes sense can learn/use Water Moves(Technically).

[@syndere6755]

That involves trades though, which isn't allowed. Honestly, both movesets are just weird.

[@morrigankasa570]

@@syndere6755 True about the trades rule, but I still mentioned that technicality since he didn't in the video. Just in case someone else was actually interested in doing a more in depth playthrough using just Fossil Pokemon a d could trade. As for movesets they make sense to me what can be learned naturally. Though some TM/HM moves they can learn may be a little weird.

[@TactlessC]

I like how often Steven Stone becomes "This is too hard/impossible cause I don't have status removal". PokeChallengeTube really is another world.

[@captaincriticize8050]

I appreciate the absolute confidence MDB has in his naming references.

[@dwanedibly8129]

Ah, Armaldo. It's one of my favorite Hoenn Pokemon, ever since a few years back when in my first successful Emerald Nuzlocke, I lost my whole team in Victory Road except Armaldo so I gave him all my Rare Candies, and he actually swept the Elite Four and Champion, partly thanks to some incredible Ancientpower luck. Seriously, against Wallace I got the all-stats up three times.

[@lickitung200]

I have been watching for four years now and you are still one of my favorite youtubers

[@bobithenross455]

What fossil did he pick?

[@scorpion3128]

Armando and Cradily are incredibly underrated Pokemon. I think you'll definitely win. As for why Anorith learns water gun, Anorith is based on anomalocaris aka a prehistoric ancestor of modern arthropods that were apex predators in the oceans. Cradily not learning any grass moves by level up is probably because it's not really a plant. It's based on the sea lily which is actually a type of marine animal that acts kind of like a plant but unlike plants that feed through photosynthesis, these animals feed on plankton.

[@bleach-kun]

Ah, I see you are a Dino nerd as well

[@matthewmccullough6211]

honestly, I think it's fine to use rare candy cheats once you hit the elite four. in gen 2/ gen 3 it absolutely sucks to grind at that point, and you've already maxed out EVs/Stat experience by that point. I think adopting rare candy for faster incremental leveling would, if nothing else, be a serious quality of life improvement.

[@pandoravex4791]

“Only tentacool in battle” Yes, I do always read your rules.

[@jand1993]

Damn! Your fossil gag killed me this time 😂 However, i have an idea for a future run for you. How about a Vulpix run in a gen of your choice? I know it can learn some interesting moves, so i'm interested how you handle my favourite pokemon

[@KingMadDog7]

I know it sounds like an easy run, but I’d love to see you solo whichever game Hawlucha premiered in with one. I love those little dudes ❤️💪😤

[@iLoveMajima]

I believe that it was X/Y. Don’t blame you for forgetting because a lot of people seem to love gen 6 Pokémon, but have no strong opinions on the games

[@omegavulture8379]

Tenta-fossil run apparently 😁. These come around mid-night for me and I always wait up to check them out right away. Great content is great, what can I say.

[@Zelgius1]

21:36 The AI in Emerald remembers Ancient Power as the last attacking Move you used against Skarmory and right after using this very same Ancient Power, the AI will also consider the possibility to switch into a different pokemon, that resists it(i.e.Claydol/Aggron/Metagross) as their next action. The repeated use of Ancient Power also helped the AI to commit to this suprise.

[@JeffKGaming]

7:51 You've GOT TO GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT! **pans in to Armaldo and Cradily hugging**

[@manuelpavanello90]

Happy Easter! Talking about resurrection, this video about the fossils fits perfectly with this day.

[@Dragonemperess]

When you use Cradily right, that thing is impossible to kill! I always dread seeing a Cradily even with ingame battles. It's gonna take a while. Arceus forbid if it knows toxic and ingrains with a draining move.

[@fozzie_79]

I gotta feeling Cradily is gonna be the MVP of the run.

[@fisher7865]

Cradily is a great wall!

[@pandadan8870]

you only had to watch jaiden's 2 player nuzlocke

[@pokeperson1000]

To be honest, I was really hoping Cradily would play a larger role as a stalling wall. But I guess the circumstances really just didn’t allow for it. If it wasn’t being smashed by super effective attacks, it was either under leveled or threatened by things like poison. How unfortunate. Regardless, fun run.

[@jaylor182]

Fun run! You seem to be in a really good space right now and it's nice to see, really reenvigorated your videos in the last months :)

[@domain2genus]

Fun fact: Whilst a lot of people have been suggesting Armaldo is a shrimp, it is actually based on the much older (and now extinct) group of animals called the Radiodonta (or anomalocarididae). The name Radiodonta is actually a description of the animals' distinctive mouth shape, which they kept on the design of Anorith.

I've been playing a rom hack called Pokemon Bidoof Version. It's Fire Red (with a few extra mons) but all the pokemon are bidoofs. Like Charizard is an orange Bidoof with Charizards wings. I think this would be good fun, especially seeing all the bidoof'd mons and your reactions to them as you play through. I think a vanilla playthrough would be best as you'll probably encounter more mons that way but a hard-core nuzlocke would be brilliant too :) thank you for all the work you do :)

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

[@Kmn483]

Only a SINGLE team Aqua member has a Water move in Emerald! One Aqua member has a Wailmer, the rest have Carvana/Sharpedo, which don't learn any water moves through level-up! In Pokémon sapphire, there's 0 aqua members do.

[@Girdain]

I would honestly love to see a Tauros-only run in either basic RBY or Fire Red/Leaf Green - ever since I found out it can learn Blizzard, Thunder, and Surf, it's become such an interesting pokemon to me. I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult given its type coverage and all, but it could make for a fun run nevertheless!

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

Don't think he's done a Tauros run yet, so I think I can throw this in... Thunder/Blizzard/Surf is amazing in RBY, when its Special stat is actually pretty good (70, which isn't a powerhouse, but definitely enough to incorporate coverage). After the Special Split, Tauros's SpAtk becomes 40, so he probably can't rely on those in Fire Red or Leaf Green... but he's still a powerhouse, so the run would still be fun. (Except for Ghost-types, he'll have to rely on Rock Tomb or Iron Tail for those)

I can’t wait for the Gen5 run. Caracosta, archiops ( it’s really good at 50% or higher health, and usually you won’t be at low health with it, you mainly just Die).

[@VioletRaze]

Armaldo can learn a few good water-type moves. As a kid, I theorized that maybe in ancient times it was water/bug, but fossilization caused the water typing to drop and be replaced by rock. 7th gen introducing Wimpod and Golisopod (water/bug types that look suspiciously like Anorith and Armaldo if given thousands of years of natural evolution) only cemented my idea further.

[@manuelromero8837]

Well Anorith is in the Water egg group and its an aquatic pokemon. Its a pretty viable theory.

[@theoriginaldeity]

​@manuelromero8837 it's based off an ancient prehistoric predator that lived in the water

[@FonVegen]

Ah, I wish this was gen 5, because Cradily with Storm Drain is the perfect response to any Water types. Still, the fact that Giga Drain from Cradily was the move that beat the champion means I can't be too upset.

hey, big fan of your challenges! I was wondering, do you ever consider using resto chesto sets on your runs where your Pokemon gets statused at the beginning of the battle? for example, Steven's lead Skarmory with Toxic or even the Koga battle? could be a nice one time thing to do in that battle if you have the move/item slot for it. just an idea to open up the possibilities for more strategic sets at lower levels instead of just brute forcing at high levels. could be interesting!

[@Lunaraia]

Anorith is based off of an Anomalocaris, an aquatic apex predator that lived in the Paleozoic era. This is why it can learn water moves. It's a Radiodont, an ancient close relative to the Arthropod.

I'm about to know the feeling of a one-man team. I just started working on the mental process of preparing to do KZbin content. I'm still making minor mistakes like not recording audio or having to realize that what I recorded was not the right ratio... It's been annoying but nothing too detrimental like recording hours of footage and can't use any of it. But yeah, no issues at all and no matter what the content is enjoyable.

[@UnknownVir]

It's interesting how they can both beat Roxanne fairly easy (bullet seed for lileep is probably easier), but then Anorith has an easier time vs Brawly while Lileep would have an easier time vs Watson. After that you'd each has the same resistances vs the rest of the gym leaders until the last one anyway.

Hey MDB I think I I have a really intresting idea for a new challenge,how about you try to beat a pokemon game only using a very strong pokemon like a mewtwo,but only by using one weak move like tackle or confusion?

[@uxie08]

I thought of a dumb challenge. Try something like "Can I Beat Pokemon [INSERT GAME HERE] with no TM moves?" What do I mean by No TM moves? If a Pokemon can learn a TM, then that move is unusable (HMs are allowed but only outside of battle). Additional rules can be set by you. I would love to see this idea as a video.

[@scraps7624]

Dude I love your videos, but I think you should've tried to use a held Cheri berry to heal paralysis in the 3rd gym instead of grinding right away. Those types of strategies really add to a run imo Thank you for the videos man, much love
