[@MahDryBread]

I accidentally called Bayleef "Quilava" . I hope you can forgive me. Also since I'm getting a lot of comments about it! Regigigas can't learn Protect in this game. Look at the TM list at the start of the video, it's not on there. Trust me, if it was an option I'd be using it. I do agree that drain punch would have really helped though, I should have tracked down a heart scale and got it back for that fight, but it didn't come to mind at the time.

[@contramundi02]

If you ever do a Bayleef run, at least now you have the nickname

[@arcangelgutierrez88]

Would you make an intentional mistake in your videos to see how many comments you get😁

[@MahDryBread]

@@arcangelgutierrez88 Nope! Honestly, what's the point? People accuse me of doing that sometimes, but it doesn't make any sense. I guess I'm flattered that people find it more believable that I'd intentionally get something wrong than me genuinely messing up, but nope. When there's a mistake, it's just a mistake. There's no point in making a mistake to get people to comment when people will comment regardless. That's what the fossil gag is for. A 100% transparent gag where I literally announce that it's good for the algorithm.

​@MahDryBread what would be kinda funny the pokemon you replace you use as the nickname lol

I’ve learned in my time playing that if a pokemon gets drain punch, you keep drain punch. Maybe that could’ve helped VS Snorlax?

[@Wywern291]

It really could have turned the whole fight. Could have healed a lot off of snorlax's huge HP stat and get rid of slow start.

I can't fathom why he didn't use return earlier in the run. That would have been more powerful then even a 2x effective elemental punch at max friendship.

[@vinceeager8553]

[@kulrigalestout]

Trick Room makes it so that pokemon with lower speed go first for five turns. That's why Exeggutor was able to move first after setting it up, but was otherwise moving second.

[@shadowshedinja6124]

And why Machamp was initially faster, but then Regigigas outsped when it wore off.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Deleting Drain Punch was probably your undoing against Red. With hail negating your Leftovers recovery, you really needed another way to heal and stall the battle until Slow Start wore off, and Drain Punch would nail both Snorlax and Lapras.

[@cseymour-veriod2110]

Maybe Shell Bell would be better since its heal effect is based on damage dealt and not a percentage of max HP

[@DarkEinherjar]

@@cseymour-veriod2110 With Slow Start halving the Attack, probably not.

​​@@cseymour-veriod2110All of the HP-draining moves' healing is based on damage dealt though?

[@avitraangelica9278]

@@cseymour-veriod2110 There's some stuff that makes me think Shell Bell might outheal leftovers in some cases, namely hitting venusaur with avalanche and charizard with rock slide (or stone edge if you do a bunch of battle frontier grinding) since the effective base powers are so high (both would do more damage and give more healing than drain punch), but I can't find their stats to run the actual damage calcs on them or figure out if the total healing and healing at key points would be enough. Leftovers tends to out-perform Shell Bell overall, but this is a weird battle to math out.

At 13:30 that extra level made a lot of difference against Gyarados. Because with 164 HP, Regigigas was putting up 41 HP substitutes, which means Gyarados was unable to one-shot them with Dragon Rage. With a bit of RNG luck it would have made it possible to gain the advantage.

First minute of the Challenge and seeing Giygas waddling behind MDB on the first route got me giggling. I forgot how humorous the following Pokémon were in HG/SS.

[@thefrubblewarrior4678]

2:50 Watching Gygas follow you in this game is hilarious.

[@oriongroves5272]

I went through the playlist and I believe you have only done one other challenge in HeartGold and it was with a Ledyba and that definitely wasn't going to beat Red's team. So maybe we need to request more HeartGold runs so here is a couple. HeartGold with only one Gligar and HeartGold with only one Skarmory. I think Gligar might have a chance at beating Red but blastoise might just one shot it and skarmory probably doesn't stand a chance but could be fun.

[@Handington]

I love when you at least attempt Red in HG/SS, even if it's a losing proposition. Maybe if the pokemon has it in their move pool, after attempting him normally, you could use taboo cheesy strats like sand attack and double team against him only. Just to see if it's even possible.

[@the_og_alpha]

I love how in the overworld, Giygus following you just feels like your own Stand. It also punches so you are just Jojo-ing your way through the challenge.

[@xtrmrage0144]

Seeing Regigigas show the Dancer the way out of the forest is a pretty funny image Edit: does anybody know why Lyra had a Lopunny instead of her Marill? Quirk with the randomizer? I dont remember any other heartgold runs that have that happen.

[@Lunaraia]

About the Red fight... there are some days when the fight does not have Hail. But those are on SPECIFIC dates. Those dates being February 29, March 25, October 10 and December 31. Note these uses your DS' calendar, and you might need to set the dates 24 hours in advance, (so on the day before what's listed here Feb 28, March 24 ETC) as I have seen conflicting reports on whether HGSS has a 24 - hour no timed events lock for messing with the calendar or not.

[@DrPotatoSkins]

Probably received a dozen comments about it already, but there's two things you could've done to make Red a little easier. 1. Keep Drain Punch. Even if it's only super effective against Snorlax and Lapras, that thing will still heal you quite a bit. It could even heal you a ton on Pikachu despite Slow Start. With Leftovers as your held item, Drain Punch to heal + for Snorlax and Lapras, Thunder Punch for Blastoise and Charizard, Ice Punch for Venusaur, and Return for good neutral damage, you may have done it. 2. If you change the date on your compu- I MEAN, your *_totally real and very existent Nintendo DS._* Anyways, if you change the date to either October 10th or December 31st, then the weather on top of Mt. Silver won't be hail. It'll be a completely unique weather condition called "diamond flurry". The cool thing about diamond flurry is not only the fact that it doesn't hurt you like hail, it also won't make Blizzard 100% accurate. And that would make Leftovers heal you rather than just fighting off the hail damage.

[@MinunRobotnik4]

Edit: Forgot Protect was added to Regigigas's movepool in a later gen. New strategy, get Drain Punch back from the move relearner. Equip the Black Belt you get from the Lake of Rage on Wednesdays. I did the calc, it should be a roll to KO after Volt Tackle recoil. We're still dependent on a focus blast miss or Snorlax coming out next, but the extra healing from the extra damage should balance out the lack of leftovers. Old: Replacing Substitute with Protect probably would've helped just a bit with the final Red fight. But you'd still want to keep retrying until you got another Focus Blast miss. Protect -> Attack (OHKO Pikachu) -> Protect -> Focus Blast Miss -> Protect gets you out of Slow Start. Hopefully you'd have enough strength to get through the rest of the fight. Keep Leftovers to heal off Hail damage. Keeping Drain Punch around probably would've helped. Potentially even getting rid of Dizzy Punch during the mid-game and getting Return for the late game. Ideal final setup wold probably be Return, Drain Punch, Protect and Thunder Punch/Ice Punch. Though with max Friendship Return does more than either punch moves against Charizard/Blastoise/Venusaur. Maybe Zen Headbutt for Venusaur, but I don't want to add any more luck to the fight if we're going for a Focus Blast.

Trick Room is one of the most important moves in Pokemon’s VGC competitive format. Makes it the slower the pokemon, the higher priority it will go first (basically, reverses speed rules).

[@Worstfreelancer]

Just so you know because you said you didn't know what trick room is, it's a move that essentially reverses speed tiers, making the slowest pokemon move first instead for like 4 or 5 turns. I'm surprised you didn't know that, but i guess it makes sense since i don't think that would really be a great move for your challenge runs

[@mattmc1234]

Regigigas is honestly a very interesting pokemon, love seeing it in these challenge runs.

[@nugbone6702]

20:53 trick room will make the pokemon with the lower speed stat move first while it is active

[@snoozbuster]

This is why the machamp outsped him and got the wallop with dynamic punch. Trick room was still active and so the slower machamp moved first

[@lipika2841]

It's ez to see what it does while in my play. The slow goes 1st so say, Munchlax & Shuckle will mostly move faster than others.

[@NotTheDragon837]

20:30 Trick room makes it to where the slowest pokemon goes first, and the fastest pokemon goes last.

[@55DarkGallade]

Was screaming "USE PROTECT!" at the top of my voice.... Alternate between Protect and attacking. Keep Thunderpunch to deal with Blastoise, and Charizard, re-teach Drain Punch for more healing vs Snorlax and Lapras, and Dizzy Punch for Venusaur. Rework your EVs to maximize HP and Attack if that's an option, and use PP Ups for Dizzy and Drain Punch, and Protect. This is gonna be a fun ride: Vs Pikachu start with Protect, then hit Drain Punch. We're testing ranges. If it KO'es it, then great. If not, then it should be on red HP forcing out a heal item. Drain Punch again the next turn, then Protect, followed by Drain Punch. That's 5 turns, and you got your act together. Now if you do get the KO on Pikachu on turn 2 with Drain Punch, alternate between Protect and Punch for the next Pokemon. It's best if you can get rid of Slow Start vs the Pikachu since it can't really threaten to KO you (bar a crit) but you have to work around the Static. If you manage to get that, then the fight should be a breeze. You COULD theoretically gamble for a double protect as well if you're feeling adventurous. Hope this helps!

[@EduardoCastrocg]

What I don't understand is WHY did I have to scroll this far to see ONE person talking about THE move that helps gigas be viable. I was doing just like you, screaming at my phone to just use protect lol the amount of turns you stall not losing heath instead of using subs is a lot better against Red and if I'm not mistaken, you can get it easily at the department store, not needing to voltorb flip, as is the case for subs. And ofc, the punches as you said. But yeah, use protect, guys!

[@RandomXxX13]

It can't learn protect haha

[@55DarkGallade]

Holy crap my friend you’re right! It doesn’t learn Protect until Gen 8!

[@poweruppikawho9007]

drain punch + a muscle band to keep your hp up and give your other moves a little more damage. Maybe a chesto resto strat to cure para from pikachu and stall out turns for slow start too. Other options include relearning knock off to remove pikachu's light ball to reduce its damage output and stalling it out with rest without chesto. You could have taught mud slap to lower pikachu's accuracy. Regigigas gets rock polish for some unknowable reason, so that might have been an out to your poor speed at the start of the fight.

Trick room switches attack order, so slowest Pokémon attacks first.

[@frankyquilavafireblast895]

Trick room is a five term move that inverts the speeds of all Pokémon on the field. So the slowest Pokémon would go first, where the fastest Pokémon would then go last. There is a way to manipulate the last fight. There are specific days of the year where hail is turned into a phenomenon known as diamond dust, which is affectively snowy conditions, so that’s one way to avoid damage.

Sucks that Regigigas doesn't get Protect until Gen 8, that's so weird And yea, as many others have said already, I'm surprised you got rid of Drain Punch at all. Once you got any of the elemental punches, I thought Foresight and Dizzy Punch would be the next moves to go since you had a move to hit Ghost types But no worries!

The Gastly line's level-up moveset was famously devoid of non-Ghost damaging moves for quite some time; I think it still would've been like that in Gen 4 which is why all of them just kept trying to status your sub. They can't hit Normal types.

[@Mine4dayzz]

Regigigas runs are always fun. I enjoy it when you’re using cool or gimmicky pokemon, or even just cool pokemon you like.

[@incorrectdigit]

I feel like there's definitely a strategy here with regigigas, like I'm not sure if you tried sub spam at higher levels, also I don't think focus blast missing is really that rare, I call it focus miss a lot because of 70% accuracy,. But I know time is a very limited resource so fully get just didn't want to beat your head against one fight, either way, fun run!

[@seanwilliams823]

I was skeptical about Drain punch but a Scrafty in White Two(?) changed my mind. Then had it on almost every team I could

[@RiverwalkerWolf]

Since you mentioned it at 20:32, Trick Room reverses the turn order! Slow Pokémon will go first, fast Pokémon will go last! Priority moves will still go earlier, so you can still go first with a Quick Attack or last with a Roar.

[@Slimeonian]

22:53 Fun fact about Light Ball Pikachu. Since Light Ball doubles Pikachu’s offensive stats, even tho it’s only got base 55 attack and 50 special attack, in reality, doubling the stats, make it equal to having around base 160 attack and 150 special attack lmao. Hence why Huge Power is such a strong ability Vice Versa with Halving stats. So really, during the Red fight, Pikachu has Regigigas’s 160 attack stat. And Regigigas has Pikachu’s 55 attack stat during Slow Start lel

[@SuicuneSweetie101]

Great run as always!

[@crimsonpresents]

If you change your date to a specific date (can’t remember off the top of my head), you can change the hail on Mount Silver to Diamond Dust, a weather condition that doesn’t effect battle

[@Abdus_VGC]

Trick Room reverses the speed order so that the moves in their respective priority orders goes by slower Pokemon moving first until next 4 turns. Machamp was supposed to be slower than you but because of Trick Room it moved first and broke your substitute with dynamic punch

[@barofsoap8098]

3:55 your deceptions shall not fool me, yeast man!

[@rooislangwtf]

Machamp outsped because of trick room, would've helped to stall that out too

[@NeosMaxi]

Probably someone has already said it but Trick Room makes slower pokemon move first and faster pokemon move last, it basically switches de speed control for a few turns

[@sebhub8632]

When Blastoise misses the focus blast it is the opening to waste more turns with Substitute and get rid of slowstart. Also if you had drain punch you probably would be better off here. So try Pikachu, reset when you get paralyzed, Blastoise comes out, always press Substitute and reset if he hits focus blast. Return instead of dizzy punch and drain punch instead of Ice Punch. Return for Venasaur. I think that could work, just dont know if switching AI still sends out snorlax at 3rd with the changed moveset

[@fabgassie]

It might be just a little thing, but especially with it effectively ignoring Leftovers recovery, if you change the date of your DS to October 10th (or December 31th?), the hail on Mt. Silver will be replaced with 'Diamond Dust', which means that in battle there will be no Hail damage. Also gives the Blizzard users an extra 30% chance to miss, doesn't hurt either.

[@nhoriel]

Thunderbolt hit more hard for Regigigas than thunder punch. Your atk stats are divised by 2 for 5 turn and thunderbilt have better base damage

[@obinnanwakwue5735]

Diamond Dust helps Also, Trick Room swaps the priority bracket to where slower Pokemon goes first.

[@amirmahadeo56]

The sheer hatred for voltorb flip is hilarious cuz I always found the minigame fun and easy

[@rancorrage5646]

The Red fight is absolutely doable. Even ignoring Return vs Dizzy Punch, you could have easily stalled out Slow Start with Protect, Leftovers, and maybe Drain Punch if you'd kept it. Also, Focus Blast only has 70% accuracy. Everyone calls it Focus Miss for a reason. Still a cool run!

[@vaporeonice3146]

Regigigas can’t learn Protect in Gen 4, and Hail keeps you from getting Leftovers recovery. It might be doable if you, say, set up Sunny Day against Blastoise and it misses several Focus Blasts in a row, but I think it would be REALLY difficult either way.

[@hkh4-onehandedvidya]

Glad to see your using the big boy again

[@Rubyco]

HG/SS are still such nice games- like visually speaking! Man I miss em... Anyway- GO GIYGAS GOOOO hahaha

[@platinumraven118]

If the Trick room comment was geniune; Trickroom sets up a field effect which reverses the speed bracket, so the lowest speed goes first, followed by second lowest, then in multibattles third fouth and fifth slowest, etc. This has no effect on the nature of priority moves, so Protect would still go before a mach punch in later gens(Apparently in gen 4 all priority moves have the same priority) This room lasts for 5 turns or 8 with a special item.

[@redmagejack]

I'm here 16 hours early to ask you to do Elder Scrolls Oblivion with only Quest Rewards as Equipment.

[@timekilling101]

There are certain days that you can set the date to to have the hail on the mountain not be there. That would stop blizard from having 100 accuracy as well. If you dont mind date manipulation. That could also get you return whenever you wanted. Completely understandable if you dont want to do that but i feel like its a valid strategy.

[@SpliffingBrit]

I would have suggested switching substitute for protect to stall out slow start turns

[@justinthibodeaux8601]

Doesn't learn it

[@AlexM-fv8lp]

I know you've gotten a few comments about this, and you mention it yourself (but comments are good for the youtube algorithm), but yeah drain punch would've helped. Also here's some run ideas -Gen 5 eeveE run -Gen 5 pikachu run -Gen 5 fossil run -Emerald with one drowzee -Emerald with one Swablu

[@cocaloid9251]

Here's my idea on how to beat Red: Crush Grip (Regigigas signature move), Rock Polish, Substitute, and Confuse Ray. You can get the TM for Rock Polish on route 10. Turn 1, you Rock Polish, then ohko Pikachu with Crush Grip. Rock Polish lets you go first against Blastoise to use confuse ray, which means it's only 35% to hit Focus Blast. From there, it's not asking overly much to stall out Slow Start with sub and misses and once it's gone Crush Grip (which is 120 power against full HP targets) is a guaranteed ohko on all of Red's Pokemon (assuming they have 31 IVs but no EVs) with your level 100 attack. You do also need a pp up for it, but there are plenty of those lying around. Also, for everyone suggesting Protect, Regigigas doesn't learn it in gen 4. Yes, Game Freak hates the poor guy that much.

[@mickgorro]

Trick room makes slower pokemon attack first for like 5 turns or something. Basically it either did nothing, or got rid of half of Slow Start on turn 1 :).

[@qinaxin7107]

Also trick room is a move that for a few turns (around 5 I think) the slower pokemon goes first. So the first fight against blue you said Machamp was faster, it actually wasn't but because Trick room was up it went first due to being slower.

[@uomospazzaturatube]

Ah yes! Another nice Gigas run. This is gonna be good.

[@cesarg.5750]

Something I would like to see in HG/SS runs with stage one Pokémon is, if the Red figtht proves impossible, to evolve them and check how the evolution would have fared in that one battle, without risking a redundant middle stage run or a thrilless-until-red final stage one.

I haven't seen any comments about it, so I figure I'll mention it. Trick Room's actual mechanics are a bit complex, but the effect said mechanics have is simple; slower pokemon move first, faster pokemon move last. The mechanics aren't exactly super well-coded, though - if you're stupidly fast you completely bypass it, but you have to be Regieleki fast.

The POSSIBLE strategy would have possibly have been having Drain Punch and hoping for Focus Blast misses, it's 70% accurate so you ONLY seeing that one miss is super unlucky actually, it's jokingly called "Focus Miss" because of it's accuracy and the fact a lot of special attackers have to use it for a special fighting move. Side note if it ever comes down to NEEDING a miss I'd say save states are perfectly viable or just calling the run a dud since if you fail after getting perfect RNG after a 30% miss chance it'll likely be incredibly annoying to actually finish.

You know what they say- "If it's not 100% accurate, it's 50% accurate"(but only when you're using it)

Thank you for a fun run=)Have a nice week=)

20:30 Trick room makes it so that slower Pokémon get to attack first for 5 turns

[@TheRainbowninjakitty]

Oh mdb if you want to know what Trick room does it makes fast Pokémon slow and slow Pokémon fast for 5 turns

[@ravinercf]

For futere hearthold run use save states for the game corner, the voltorb flip part doesnt change anything in terms of in game decisions and doesnt even cost money, just time

[@abedelkarimmurrar4466]

I love how small the in-battle sprite for Regigas is

[@monstermayhem4367]

If no one has answered yet Trick Room makes it so the slower Pokemon goes first for five turns. It reverses the turn order basically. So really good for you before slow start ends

[@Denuhm]

Protect and return may be really helpful. Keep draining punch and substitute.

[@darkfiredragon3410]

Regigigas didn't get Protect until gen 8.

1:43 I think that you will make it to the E4 around levele 80, as in I think you'll get through the main game by mid to late 80s and take to Kanto with little to no problem. Red however, I dont think will be possible even with the 20 extra levels 5:14 side note about Policemen Trainers, I love how they only battle you at night, cause theyre doing their job and why is this random dude walking through at 2:00 in the morning? Also this particular Polieceman and I have tha same name, so thats neat 15:49 I now see I have a severely poor judge of things. I was quite a ways off, that said I now expect you to be 15 levels higher at least by the time we beat Lance 19:04 Still a poor judge. I gotta practice 21:36 Theres the additional 20 levels

[@DAGZ1991]

I have an idea for a run of any generation: - Use any Pokémon you want - The Pokémon you have cannot use moves with the same typing, example: Fire Pokémon cannot use Fire type moves or a normal/flying type Pokémon cannot use either normal or flying type moves - Cannot use the move return, to help with the difficulty

It's always funny revisiting this channel and forgetting about the water onix joke
