[@coltengardner7470]

7:50 Also worth noting, Gen 1 A.I. for some reason only registers a Pokémon's Primary type, not its secondary. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but probably around 75%ish

[@shanoc5902]

It's actually a bit more complicated. It's less about the primary type and more about the first result on the in-built type chart it registers. It sees that Poison is super effective to grass before it sees that poison resists poison so the AI believes that poison is super-effective. Whether the typing it 'sees' is the primary or secondary is irrelevant, as once it finds a specific result of it's typing against either of yours it reports that. A Poison/grass pokemon would get the same results, you can find lists about the typing priority it checks. This is also the same super-effective checking method is also shared by the text-box so if the game says something is super-effective the AI thinks it's super-effective regardless as to if that's the truth or not!

[@mikecabral2420]

Seriously? I knew the text was glitched so it only registers in one type when it says whether it's super effective or not but the damage is supposed to be accurate. When you see how much of a buggy mess gen 1 is, it is kinda incredible how popular it was and still is.

[@NeverLikely]

Maybe oddish (weed) and lotad (water weed) in emerald, you can get lotad early on route 102 and oddish as the grass starter. btw, the reason Erika uses poison powder is because gen 1 ai doesnt look at secondary typing when picking moves - it just sees that oddish is grass and poison moves are super effective.

[@Xyrusama]

So, for a more relaxed challenge: play any game using only the version exclusive (in their first form only if you want a harder challenge). I feel like that could be fun, maybe after a particularly hard one.

[@augustmadsen5322]

Gen 1 Ai only looks at your first type, and then uses a type that's effective against it if available, even if It's a status move.

[@fawfulmark2]

Lorelei being the most infamous example.

[@azeemsiddiqui4764]

Lance is more infamous for it imo since 3/5 of his Pokémon will use Agility or Agility / Barrier in the case of his Dragonite.

[@simonalbert7518]

It actually does the first type matchup on a list of type matchups. If you look up the AI you can find the list.

[@TheLanceUppercut]

Oddish's second type is poison, but it still defaults to using Psychic moves when they're available, like in the Lance fight.

[@ryanmuller9497]

My understanding was that "Good" AI suffered from the same problem as the super/not very effect text. If a dual-typing has one type that's weak and one type that's resistant, then there's an internal priority order that determines whether the AI will treat the Pokemon as though it's weak or resistant corresponding to whether the text displayed would be not very effective or super effective respectively. The AI will work fine as long as one type is neutral or both types are the same kind of effectiveness, it just has issues with a dual-typing that is overall neutral because of one type being weak and the other type being resistant.

[@richarddill692]

It cracked me up when you said "Yes! The Weedle's are actually a threat."

[@Heva1987]

This reminds me of an in joke with my mate. We hated Oddish in gen 1. and we would keep trading the same Oddish back and forth and we said it was the "lonely" Oddish as no one wanted it, lol. It was even better when natures was added in gen 3 and one was lonely, so we made it a thing to have a "lonely" Oddish on ours teams.

[@FireFog44]

I feel like Agatha would have been a lot easier if you'd replaced acid with mimic and then copied dream eater. You already had sleep powder so a powerful psychic attack would have ripped through her whole team.

[@FireFog44]

@@CyberchaoX Acid is only 20 base power, so Oddish needs a lot more turns to KO anything with it. It may not have recoil, but risking enemy attacks is usually worse. Realistically, only the champion is a threat since Oddish has a really good matchup against all of the E4 with the moveset of sleep powder, petal dance, mimic and double edge. Lorelei: Petal Dance to one-shot Dewgong and Cloyster then mimic Slowbro's amnesia and max out Oddish's special while also getting Badge Boost Glitch (BBG) boosts to speed, attack, and defense, then sweep Slowbro, Jynx, and Lapras with petal dance. Lorelei's good AI means Slowbro will only ever use amnesia so it's completely free and the boosts to speed and special means Oddish should out speed and one-shot the last three. The only issues here are confusion hax and one-shotting Slowbro with a three-turn PD, otherwise there's nothing she can do. Even if the worst happens, Jynx and Lapras aren't too hard to take out with sleep powder anyway. Bruno: He's Bruno. No strategy necessary. Agatha: What I said in my original comment. Sleep powder and dream eater is a perfect combo to take out her entire team. The issues here are getting out-sped, Agatha swapping Gengar before you mimic dream eater, and sleep powder missing. Unfortunately Agatha will always be the least consistent member of the E4 since Oddish just doesn't have the stats or moves to make her fight better. Lance: Because of his good AI, the only Pokemon he has that will ever attack Oddish/any poison or fighting type are Gyarados and Aerodactyl. Gyarados. knows hydro pump, leer, dragon rage, and hyper beam but it'll never use hydro pump against a grass type which means, so long as Oddish isn't one-shot by a hyper beam, it'll always have at least two turns to land a sleep powder and take it out with PD. After that, Oddish can mimic agility from one of the Dragonairs and boost so it can outspeed the Aerodactyl and take it out with a BBG boosted neutral PD. Since the dragons can't attack, the only way Oddish can lose to them is recoil damage and confusion hax, but unless your luck is absolutely terrible, I doubt it'll be enough on its own to KO Oddish unless its health is already low from taking a hyper beam from Gyarados. Champion: The actual challenge. There's a ton of luck necessary to take down the champion at a reasonable level. For Pidgeot you have to go for a turn one sleep powder and hope it uses anything except wing attack and also that it stays asleep long enough to KO it with double edge. Alakazam is a major wall. It'll always outspeed, and I'm pretty sure Oddish can't survive even one psybeam or psychic so you need to hope for reflect and then land a sleep powder. Double edge should KO it in two, maybe three, hits and you just need to hope it doesn't wake up. If you're feeling ballsy, you can mimic recover to try and mitigate the recoil damage. Rhydon is free with PD and Exeggutor shouldn't be too big an issue so long as you have recover, otherwise you need to get lucky. Gyarados is a repeat of Lance's, hope it doesn't use hyper beam, land a sleep powder the take it out. Oddish might need to avoid PD here because it can't risk going into Charzard confused or with the move still going. For Charizard itself, hope for a fire spin/fire blast miss, land a sleep powder and then hope it stays asleep. There are just SO many ways this battle can go wrong...

[@Otonio_Bruno]

Underrated comment. Oddish with Petal Dance / Double Edge / Sleep Powder / Mimic is definitely the best move list for gen I Oddish to beat E4 + champion. Acid is pretty weak with only 40 Base Power, going to 60 BP with STAB, while Double Edge is 100 BP (With recoil). As already explained up above by this commenter's creator, Lorelei and Bruno are trivial with Oddish Petal Dance and Mimicking Amnesia from Slowbro. Agatha is a bit annoying if she decides to confuse ray, but if you land a sleep powder turn 1 then mimic dream eater turn 2 (Provided Agatha didn't just randomly switch her Gengar), it's just a matter of putting everything to sleep then KOing it with Dream Eater. Lance is also easy due to his "good AI". Champion is hard to crack, but I would just sleep powder pidgeot and take it down with double edge. Hopefully Oddish might take a hit from Kazam and survive and the sleep powder and mimic recover after, finishing Kazam with either Petal Dance or Double Edge. When Rhydon comes, just spam recover to get full health and Petal Dance it and Gyarados later. Exeggutor is your chance to be fully healed + not confused for Charizard, so just sleep powder it and recover to a good amount of health then finish it with double edge. Chari, well, just hope you don't get Oneshot by fire blast and land your sleep powder and double edge away to victory.

[@wmzer0mw]

Was wondering about this too, mimic woulda made this hella easier. Mimic slowbro amnesia, mimic dream eater on gengar, mimic ice beam from dragonair, mimic agility from pidgeot. You wouldn't even need petal dance, could just use mega drain + the badge boosts

[@beta511ee4]

@@FireFog44 Why not use Mega Drain?

[@FireFog44]

@@beta511ee4 Mega Drain is only 40 base power and it's resisted by all of Agatha's Pokemon (duel resisted by golbat) while also being a Special move (the Gengar line have great Special in gen 1). Dream Eater is also Special, but it's also 100 base power and super effective against her whole team which makes it much more powerful.

Gen 1 AI sees that you're part Grass type, knows that Poison is super effective against grass and opts for Poison type moves. In this case, using Poison Powder despite not being applicable to a Grass/Poison type. It's the same reason why you can get some trainers into a loop of only using Agility against a Poison type

[@SirAthiro]

I promised I would donate something, so here ya go. Keep up the good work.

[@dundee6402]

7:47 That's actually a big oversight of the gen 1 games. Enemy Pokemon are programmed to prioritise super effective moves, but don't take into account double types (only the first is considered) and don't take into account either if the move does damage. So basically they use PoisonPowder on Oddish because poison moves are effective on grass types, even if Oddish is part poison too and is immune to that move. You can even take advantage of this bug by having a poison type during the elite 4 battles, Lorelei's Dewgong and Lance's Dragonite will keep spamming Rest and Barrier respectively as a result.

[@TheWrathAbove]

It's worth noting that this is only a quirk of the "Smart AI" in gen 1. Trainers such as Bruno and Agatha don't have "Smart AI" and just pick random moves.

Here is a tip about Gen 1 that I'm not sure if you know: When using a move like body slam, it doesn't apply paralysis on Normal types, similar to how thunderbolt won't paralyze Electric types, but body slam can paralyze electric types. This is due to a mistake in the coding where the status can't be applied onto a Pokémon that shares typing with the move.

Yeah, seems like the gen 1 AI only takes into consideration a Pokemon's first typing for Super Effectiveness, and if it succeeds there it doesn't check the second type.

I missed it.

Then why did Lance only use agility.

[@morgastic23]

@@hay4664 because all of his moves are neutral against grass, so it goes on to check the second typing.

Thanks! You should try more Gen.5 runs

[@haunter5271]

The madman finally did it. Nice run MDB!

[@SnowyTotodile]

Aaa, this was so fun to watch! Anyway, for a (maybe) better time at Agatha, teaching Mimic over Double Edge to copy Night Shade might have helped a bit. Her Pokémon have pretty low base HP, so fixed damage moves work great on her if you can pull it off. Agatha is always going to be an annoying fight if you don't have a strong physical move to hit her with like Earthquake. She is often the last major roadblock before the rival.

This run was fun. It gave me an idea though. You should do a gen 3 run of only one Seedot. Should prove quite challenging since it's only offensive level up moves are nature power, which is only sometimes offensive, and explosion. I've been following your content for several years now and you do a good job. Cheers!

[@psycho7642]

Do a run where the only move you can use is “Assist”, your allowed to catch and have as many Pokémon as you want in your party and they can have any move set you want, but the only move you can use is “Assist” preferably on one pokemon, you can pick the gen but I’d suggest gen 5 using a purloin/liepard as white was my first Pokémon game

[@DeadAimKillah]

I found your channel after Smallant talked about your no Pokecenter run. And it's been fun watching all these runs! keep doing these if you can cause i will most likely keep coming back for 'em. Also really? Matt riddle and RVD? I love it. Any other grass types your gonna do a run with? might i suggest the other "green" supporter Jesse Ventura

[@jand1993]

I'm still hoping for a Vulpix run in a gen of you choice. You're awesome and i'm interested in what you can do with my favourite Pokemon! You're doing a great job and i'm enjoying your videos!

[@bratackthecreator]

Thanks for the content I just have an idea for pokemon challenge maybe each pokemon can only use one move instead of 4 per fight

[@PoisonFlower765]

I always forget how much I adore the oddish line, especially the little weed itself.

[@theroguearceus2869]

If I remember correctly, the reason y they kept using poison powder is because it is a poison move, and there is a Gen 1 glitch with dual types where the text acts as if dual types are only their first type, so the text believes oddish is a pure grass type. If move selection is chosen from the same coding, while damage or interaction coding seems to be correct in this instance, they could be using poison powder or poison sting because the txt will announce poison moves as super effective (even though it isn't really) into the pure grass type oddish (who is actually grass/poison, thereby making it immune to toxic)

[@werbnaroc]

Thanks! Hopefully i can catch the premier next time.

[@kalebschuller4709]

JRose MDB and Carci all being associated in the same video makes my heart happy

[@MahDryBread]

They're the mans

[@rossi1990]

Love the shout out for J Rose. Best part of the weekend evening watching these

[@Atomsk2]

Hey MDB maybe as a relaxing chill video you could do a run with your favorite Pokémon using exploits heavily whichever game has the most and just like hammer onto those exploits but not a speed run. Just feels like something you need on the channel since we always hear that you’re not using them lol. Anyways! Keep up the work man great job!

[@nicholasnewton2912]

I know that I am probably not the first to suggest this, but it would be nice to see an Alakazam run. The change up of needing to grind and such to breezing through I think would be very interesting to watch. Amd I'm looking forward to whatever quips you would come up with for it since you would be able to just have fun.

[@Rubyslippers2005]

I love your vids man

[@D3vil_Mir0ku]

Respect to you and Jrose for telling everyone to stop the hateful comments about you on his last video! Both of you guys are amazing and I hope y'all continue with what you guys do. Also still love the wrestling references

[@heathcook9754]

Comments are good for the KZbin algorithm. Also im super excited for more Pokemon Legends to watch! ive watch all four already up at least 5 times haha if you happen to read this youre awesome and should have a good day! (that goes for everyone, not just MDB!)

[@lavistalimited4747]

ROB VAN DAM! ONE OF A KIND!!

[@water2621112]

I had an idea after grinding for some rare mons in HeartGold Pokemon HG/SS with only 1% encounter Pokemon. You'd have access to 5 total mons: Dunsparce, Marill, Yanma, Snubbull, and Chansey. Evolutions are allowable, but you have to catch each mon to be able to use them.
