[@billie-ve_in_yourself6464]

Now I wanna see a run with Phione lol. It’s got a base stat of 80 in every stat, but it’s a Pokémon you never see.

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

That could be a nice run, actually. I kind of want to try it for myself now... 80 across the board is way better than most Pokemon he's done runs with, but Phione's still not great (in particular only learning Water-type moves by level up, and not a whole lot more via TMs), so it could make for a fun run still. Mid-difficulty, I would guess, probably keep it on the backlog for right before or after a really tough challenge.

[@appelofdoom8211]

Just saying halfing your attack stat isn't the same thing as halving your base stats. It's like huge power. Azumarill doubles attack stat means it's EV's and IV's get doubled as well

[@ZorotheGallade]

You can test that by using a Teddiursa (who does have base 80 Atk 50 Spd) and seeing that at an equal level with the same EV investment it outspeeds and outdamages Reggie.

[@robertfaer4522]

Ye. and the Nature as well

[@psychopat4402]

@@ZorotheGalladedon’t have to hes correct. It halves your stat as in the summary screen in game.

I was curious about how Regigigas' halved attack would look as a base stat. its actually not 80, its closer to Pikachu's 55

[@Dorg0Nerd420]

And the speed closer to base 25

[@Slimeonian]

Fun fact, if you gave Pikachu a Light Ball, it’s attack stat would be about the same as Regigigas’ 160 lmao

[@animalia5554]

How the fuck the does that work?

[@contramundi02]

Surprised just how many fights hit that sweet spot. Will definitely be interesting to see if using Regigigas in other games will work just as well.

[@nathaniellim9928]

i kinda wanna see more of these "good mon" challenges. not replacing anything but it was fun to see a low grinding run with a diverse moveset. Slow start is also an interesting factor to deal with

[@shanoc5902]

Small correction from the start, base stats do not scale linearly. If your base attack is 160 and your attack stat is cut in half that means you effectively have a base attack of 71, not 80. The way your actual stats calculate, each additional point of base stats gives a smaller return as you go. As a result, since actual stats gained from all the base stats are cut in half, instead of recalculating your stats as if your base stat was lower, you should always consider reducing your actual stats as reducing your base stats by *more* than what the reported decrease is. This means that discounting nature, EVs, and IVs, Regigigas has a higher special attack than physical attack until slow start wears off.

[@D-Havoc]

Do you know if that is the same case with a level 100 Pokémon doing online battles that set it to level 50? Are the stats just being halved, or are the stats being recalculated?

[@Nerex7]

That is actually a good point

[@ryanmuller9497]

@@D-Havoc Without knowing every single online battle system out there, any system I'm aware of changes you level 50, just without changing EVs or moves. So, it not only recalculates stats, it also means the damage calculation formula uses level 50 rather than level 100 (a weak level 100 Pokemon with the same attacking stat as a strong level 50 Pokemon will actually do more damage because damage scales with both attacking stat and Pokemon level, not attacking stat alone).

[@unoriginalname771]

It's not really a smaller return as you go. Each additional base stat point always gives an additional 2 actual stat points at level 100, not including natures. You are however right that its attack being cut in half is not the same as cutting the base stat in half

[@appelofdoom8211]

Also IV's, EV's and nature bonuses are halved as well and since early game mons tend to give attack EV's that means gigases attack stat is worse than it would be for another mon.

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

I managed to do this one as a hardcore nuzlocke with level caps and all, it was super fun and I'm glad you got to do this one as well!

[@chrisswanepoel7389]

I'm amused that a pokemon that canonically shifts continents around had a hard time with almost every major fight this run

[@13JackStorm]

This run speaks to me personally. Myself and my partner actually reference Regigigas some days. If we wake up on a given morning and just can't get going we call it a Regigigas kind of day. Because of the "Slow Start"

[@ChibiRuah]

i too thought it be too easy but it seems to hit a really good balance. For me a good challenge run is one that feels a bit like a puzzle instead of having to just grind like hell. This run i wont say make it 100% there but it did have cool moments and substitute being a legit solution made it way more cool

[@Dianathemewqueen]

Considering how well it went in this run, Regigigas in Pokemon Black should be somewhat similar but a little more challenging. Can't wait for more of your amazing runs!

[@thattagen]

Bringing in substitute for the last battles was a pro gamer move. Great run!

[@delaneymcdonell5774]

I wonder if a Platinum Fossil only run would be too easy? They have a lot of weaknesses but Rampardos hits like a truck so who knows. Maybe one day!

[@criticalblaster458]

Bwomp

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

Depends on the patience Mah Dry Bread has. He can start with one fossil, but the only other way to get another one is in the Underground... a major luck-based circumstance. He might not want to waste hours or days finding the Skull/Armor Fossil to get the other party member.

[@delaneymcdonell5774]

@@insulttothehumanrace3807That’s very fair they are a pain to find

[@veghesther3204]

ITs doable since their doable as long as its NOT a Kabuto/tops run for at least the Gen 1 games.

[@Ender41948]

I like the idea of retooling the easy challenges like this into trying to do it at the lowest level possible, to the point that you would even retry fights underleveled if you feel like you could JUST about make it with the same kind of RNG you'd need in a normal run.

[@Drake2486]

I loved this challenge! Regigigas is literally my favorite Pokemon of all time

[@jennytaylor3986]

Would love to see you do one with Shaymin! I actually tried it with two Shaymin recently, and even with adding Swift at the beginning since it doesn't learn an attacking move until lv. 9 I was still surprised by how much of a challenge it was, mostly due to the lack of non-grass level up moves.

[@AgsmaJustAgsma]

Really happy with how this challenge turned out. I knew it wouldn't be as hard as using first form Pokémon, but Slow Start was such a hindrance that it made for really interesting fights, specially the final rival fight. Glad to know that you're planning to use Regigigas in more challenges in the near future.

[@isaacsimpson8098]

I mean slow start wasn't much of a hindrance really. The only hindrance was that he was a normal type during the rival fight and that he only had one Pokémon so susceptible to stat drops and status.

[@zorrokai8053]

It'd be a fun challenge to make it so every pokemon you caught had slow start. I always like seeing what team you pick

[@elefantepolski7456]

Only special attackers

[@verinthecrow1367]

I've been waiting for this, glad you enjoyed the run.

[@CrazyLeviathan62]

I thought it would be a piece of cake too 😮 For a next run, what about a breton run? Playing Aegislash (Excalibur) in Kalos (France/Bretagne/🧀🥖) 😋

[@les5503]

Wishing well to Fatima!!! We miss her from her Emerald run haha

[@eager_99]

Funfact for people who don't know, Regigigas actually has an effective attack of 55, and speed of 25 under slow start.

[@ShikiKiryu]

Regigigas (and the other Regis, especially Regirock) is one of my favourite pokemon by design just because of how weird they are and the lore (or lack of) that they have, they're still pretty mysterious and ambiguous creatures and I love the design so much. Sure he sucks to use but its a fascinating creature, lovely to see you use it.

[@kackers3]

Any Gen HM Moves in Battle Only + Minimum Pokemon required to learn all HM moves out of battle to progress to Elite Four. Can use PUR to start with weakest HM damaging HM move.

Hell yeah!!! That was great!!! You can really tell you're having a lot of fun Only needed a fossil joke though

[@haunter5271]

Nice run MDB! My workweeks have gotten a lot worse so these days I’m always at least 1-2 runs behind. Anyways, back to the randomizer series I go lol

[@doomlord0162]

You know it's going to be a fast run when the video is a quarter finished after the first gym😂

[@Drake2486]

Hey MDB! I'm surprised that I remembered this but - I had a dream a few days ago where I was a Pokemon trainer with only one hoothoot and I was getting destroyed by this double trainer battle with 5 ledybas. This is weird because I have never played Pokemon gold or used a hoothoot in any of my Pokemon games. To honor this odd dream, could you play Pokemon gold with only one hoothoot? I think it would be a good challenge! Thanks for reading my comment - they are good for the youtube algorithm, after all.

[@lyblank6946]

I really liked this video! It's good to see you enjoy a run so much!

[@jesteroffire]

Let’s boost that algorithm before the release! Because why not!

[@Azurious]

For a big challenge beating pokemon emerald with only a Slakoth would be crazy difficult

[@San-lh8us]

What I find absolutely hilarious is that Varoom has Slow Start as its Hidden Ability. I guess it makes sense when you consider Varoom is based on a car engine so it takes time to get going, but its still so bizarre and funny.

[@kazekamiha]

I think Return + a good Dark attack coupled with Protect and Bulk Up/Curse would cheese it. Protect to burn past Slow Start, Bulk Up/Curse to boost while Slow Start wears off, then RUIN THEM.

[@Upload098765432]

Regigigas doesn't get protect or rest. It is the only Pokemon in the game to not get those moves. The only way it can heal is through drain punch or items.

[@grunkleg.3110]

Regigigas only got Protect and Rest in Sword and Shield

[@rockerjay970]

I use to run a pretty decent team on Showdown with Gigas. So many people online were clowning me for using him until they realized that a slow, bulky, physical Gigas is hard to defeat when the meta was “spend 3-5 turns setting up” back then. My favorite set was max atk, max def, no speed, lefties, Drain Punch, Return, Substitute, Knock Off.

[@piratelady8771]

I actually laughed out loud when I saw that title and thumbnail. Obviously this will be an easy run, regigigas is practically unkillable compared to the crap you normally use, but I love this idea for how much of an insult to regigigas it is. I think it'll be really fun to see how some of the boss fights go and how low your level will end up being. Keep up the good work

[@Typhabock]

The perfect balance of fun and fast but still requires some game planning and a bit of luck

[@talklein39]

Great vid!

[@matthewdrury1228]

Heres a fun run I just thought of. Any Pokemon game with the box art legendary, but you have to have the Pokemon be at least 6 levels lower than the Gym leader or Elite for members ace. For example if you play Pokemon ruby you can only use Groundon but he can only be at level 8 when he goes up agains Roxanne who's Nosepass is at level 14. That way the extra stats of the legendary isn't as noticeable. Also is you go under 6 levels close to the ace you have to restart.

[@Unotuchable]

Them: oh no, your stats are cut in half and it'll be so hard. MDB: 80 attack? It must be Christmas morning

[@kingcobra4733]

"Maybe you're a scarf guy!" just a chuckle, but still a chuckle

[@ddjsoyenby]

this was a great one.

[@bananaspice1967]

Correction, Slow Start works like Huge Power. Halving the *total* attack and speed. Not the base, meaning it's slower and weaker than what you expected. I don't know the exact calculations, but the halved attack won't be base 80

[@pheonixfire667]

for future runs if you're worried about one specific status like burn just try to start the fight pre statused with a less threatening status

[@alexisauld7781]

I came up with a really silly challenge this week: Pokemon Black/White with only the move Assist. I wanted to try it for myself in X, but trying to randomise that *just* to have Purrloin as a starter to do it turned out to be far, far beyond the level of faff that I was willing to deal with when it came to figuring it out. xD

[@XlightninX]

Lots of tense moments, not much grinding, pretty much the ideal scenario for a run! Loved the creativity needed to overcome the gimmick. Obviously you can't plan for a run that good but it'd be interesting to see some other gimmick pokemon that aren't necessarily agonizing, but would make for interesting and unexpected outcomes. Not too familiar with later gens so I can't think to suggest any unfortunately. Regardless, great run, good video.

[@niklasjungbauer3013]

I really like your variety of runs!! Have you ever thought of adding something like a randomizer for e.g. the abilities or moves? Or have you considered runs like random path finding (I love those videos) What do you think of a parcifists run (only status moves and no direct hits)?

Video idea - can I beat Pokemon (insert gen 3 or 4 game) using Pokemon and moves from card packs You would buy a fresh box of Pokemon cards and open like 10 packs of Pokemon cards only using the Pokemon on the card and only using the moves that have on the card. You cannot evolve the Pokemon on the cards nor could you use any other moves but you can use duplicates if you get duplicates.
