I keep on thinking electric is super effective against bug pokemon. Not the same problem, but it has the same results...

[@fabgassie]

(Warning, lots of numbers below) Regarding the low SpAtk of Pikachu being because of it being a bad pikachu... Yes. The Sp.Atk values that a regular nature Pikachu can have at lvl 100 are between 105 (with 0 EV's and an 0 IV in Sp.Atk) and 199 (with maxed EV's and an 31 IV in Sp.Atk). The Sp.Atk being 112 means that, at the very best (and most likely) the IV was 7 out of 31. Having to grind in the early game probably meant you barely had any EV's, with all the rats, bugs and birds not giving Sp.Atk EV's (mostly Speed and HP, of which the former was nearly at the maximum possible value, it being 261 out of a range of 185-279, meaning it had at worst an IV of 13, most likely higher if the speed EV's weren't maxed). Yeah, this Pikachu made it even more horrible than it needed to be. Interesting how Pokémon that need more grinding to beat for example Onix usually have very low Sp.Atk and very high speed. Of the available Pokémon to grind against, Rattata, Pidgey, Weedle, Spearow and Pikachu (2!) give Speed EV's, Caterpie gives HP EV's, Mankey gives Attack EV's and Kakuna and Metapod both give 2 Defense EV's. This means that you'll very often end up very weak on the special side. To completely show this (as I'm taking way too long writing up this comment anyways), let's compare ALL of Pikachu's stats to it's possible ranges (taken from the DPP Pokédex on Serebii): HP: 229, compared to a possible 180-274 Atk: 155, compared to a possible 115-209 Def: 109, compared to a possible 65-159 SAtk: 121, compared to a possible 105-199 SDef: 102, compared to a possible 85-179 Speed: 261, compared to a possible 203-306 We can see that the SpAtk and SpDef are very low, taking into account both IVs and EVs can increase stats, and HP, Atk, Def and Speed being average to high (since at most 2 stats can be maxed out, these are quite decent values). Definitely makes (at least in FRLG) special attackers that can't beat Brock hell. It'd be interesting to check if other generations have similar problems, but I doubt any have it as bad as in Kanto. The other regions all have either a bigger selection of grind-material, or don't have a huge roadblock before getting a bigger selection of grind-material. By the way, I wonder... What fossil will MDB pick next? Maybe we should all collectively drop our guesses in the comments. I'm going with the Claw Fossil.

I really don't mind when you use double team, it's a fair strategy. My thing about it is just when it's used every run, at that point it feels more like a comfort zone.

I like that you don't reset for favorable IV's/EV's/natures. Makes the run more interesting.

[@douglaswills4624]

I actually disagree with this because it doesn't answer the actual question. Like, if the only reason the run wasn't winnable was because the pokemon had hot garbage for IV's that would be pretty lame. And there's also a very real possibility that the garbage IV's are the cause for Double Team being absolutely necessary. And then it's just a lottery simulator. All the same, I don't think there's any reason it's NECESSARY to do that. I just think it harms the ability to appropriately answer the question and makes less interesting strategies more likely to be necessary.

[@forgiveman]

Also, we don't know if doing appropriate EV training would help him in the long term.

[@ShinyTillDawn]

@@forgiveman Considering how you battle so many Pokémon before you get the Macho Brace, the EVs will likely be already maxed out. So in order to max out a stat, you'd spend hours getting 1 EV per battle, which is boring. He probably resets for IVs/Natures in the background.

Next gens gimic should be triple typing. Then maybe venamoth would be flying

[@akshaykarthik928]

Oh hell no, the type effectiveness chart would be insane

Charizard: dragon, fire, and flying type

[@67benn1995]

I didn’t realize teddiursa counted as a melee weapon. Good to know

[@shadowtitanx3962]

To be fair, Ursaring is a Physical Attacker (If you take away Hyper Beam on it, since Hyper Beam sucks on Ursaring).

[@shinypika1801]

"I have a knife." 'I also have a melee weapon.' "What is it?" *'Teddiursa.'*

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

@@shadowtitanx3962 In Gen 2, the uprising of Ursaring, Hyper Beam was still physical, and it would destroy things with Hyper Beam!

[@scythes2864]

Nice run! Next fire red run you could catch a bunch of meowth with pick up for a chesto berry against sleep to make the rival fight a bit more consistent

Pokemon platinum with no new moves or without healing at Pokecenter

@Christopher Lee brutal runs are nice ;D

[@ThespisStar]

Another video, another time I throw out the idea of you picking up the dome fossil but still doing the spiel about picking up the helix fossil. =) love the vid and looking forward to more MDB.

[@digitalneonblue97]

Gen 2 or 3 with Yanma 🤔 that would be a interesting challenge

[@TrixWithStrix]

I feel like I can’t be the only one who sees any Pokémon with wings and goes, “Oh, you must be a flying type!” Great video as always, MD F’n B.

[@hipojoe]

Pokémon challenge: gen 1, krabby only, no hm Pokémon. Krabby can learn all three required hms

[@williamfalls]

Then they wouldn't be able to fly.

[@Sans_the_Skeleton4336]

@@williamfalls you dont need fly to beat the game tho

[@williamfalls]

It'd make moving around more annoying, though, without fly.

[@tomkane5187]

@@williamfalls so you’re saying it would make the challenge more challenging?

[@wyattoleff5278]

@@tomkane5187 no it would make the tun more annoying. annoying and challenging are 2 different things kiddo.

Thank you for this birthday video! You used my favorite Pokemon, too; thank you! :D ❤🎁

[@gabbywills98]

I'd love to see a Sinnoh run with Kricketot

[@Leeroy_the_Potato]

I tried so hard to get Kricketot to work and after a year of trying I gave up, but I did do a kricketune challenge and it was so much fun

[@ShinyTillDawn]

That's already been done, and it's impossible. The player loses before the elite 4.

[@blindsamhare5954]

What fossil didbyou take? The heracross fossil! Thats amazing you should do a run with one

[@GusterTails]

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

[@joel2628]

Just get a photo of the character grabbing the helix fossil with the text box saying so.

[@Raiga345]

Im just a normal listener not really a tech guy, but even I noticed how the audio sounds super soft & clean. Your words with the letter S sound kinda sharp though

[@aiuchi860]

A KZbin friendly algorithm for the comment.

[@kennethsouthard7942]

This hurts my soul

[@aisadal2521]

Omg, yay, another Pikachu run! 😍

[@matthewbrown6573]

Ironic how you say you're "brick walled" while using brick break

[@thaelrynvecna2953]

@MDB, yeah there is no embarrassment in forgetting Venomoth's typing. It has wings, and you see those and your brain goes, "Oh, flying type!". They pulled this in later gens with that Octopus pokemon that you THINK is water type, only for it to be pure fighting, lol. Thanks for all the fun of these challenge videos!
