Can I Beat Pokemon Sapphire with ONLY Version Exclusives 🔴 Pokemon Challenges ► NO ITEMS IN BATTLE

[@Unison23]

Should’ve taught Kyogre Thunder instead of Shock Wave because with Drizzle, Thunder never misses

[@chaosgaming4070]

I was about to say man lol

[@shironeko1843]

Yes

[@lolschrauber]

Certified MDB vs. MDB moment

[@ItsJustKaya]

Id guess He picked it so we " comment down below " Or that he handicaps himself with a weaker move, not that it will works since kyogre hits hard. I am generally upset when people dont use thunder on kyogre. Like my headcanon is; thats from where Ogre in his name comes. Orgre in asian culture do control the weather. I believe there are 2 ogre brothers one of which decided to be scapegoat so his brother can be happy. That one controls rain and thunder Might be wrong, i just remember there is a weather controlling ogre

[@MahDryBread]

Yeah, I absolutely should have. I thought that rain making Thunder 100% accurate was a gen 4 thing like Blizzard and Hail. My bad!

[@MEPlaysGames]

Been watching the show ever since the first few Pokemon challenges, they’ve become my go to videos to put on while I cook on the weekends :)

Groudon being ground only makes sense given the whole land vs sea deal with the games

[@kirant]

It also makes sense when you see the legendary three as references to Leviathan (Kyogre), Behemoth (Groudon), and Ziz (Rayquaza).

[@GSamus14]

As soemone who's done a Sapphire Professor Oak's challenge, I know how much of a pain grinding on Route 117 is. I spent easily 20 hours during that challenge on that route alone.

[@knate44]

Still requesting the POISONOUS SNAKE run with seviper and arbok. For FireRed or Heart Gold(soul silver might be easier if you don't want to grind voltorb flip) you can start with seviper, for Emerald you start with ekans, and you can get the other partway through the game.

[@DarkEinherjar]

I don't think he'll ever do a poison run again after that one with only poison moves...

[@066kshitizvsingh4]

​@@DarkEinherjarA poison move and poison type run is different. Especially since Seviper learns Flamethrower

[@Barracius]

I am once again asking you to take the fossil opposite the one you say you took. Just to see who notices. Yes, I know he took the Dome fossil on a fossils only run when he started with Omanyte. But that is not what I mean. I mean I want to hear "I took the Root fossil" while seeing the Claw fossil being taken. Or hearing "I took the Helix fossil" while seeing the Dome fossil being taken. And to those who say that this has happened before - when? Show me! I've looked and looked and have not seen it!

[@MobileGamingChronicles]

For real.

[@sashaanne703]

I, too, want to see this happen.

[@BigBoct]

20:24 did you know that Delcatty means "of the catty?"

[@chrishubbard64]

The groudon kyogre thing with types, ive always enjoyed the fannon talks about it. Groudon manages to be on par with kyogre, despite being weak to water normally then QUAD weak when primal reversioned. That suggests that he should be an absolute MONSTER stat wise to be able to withstand such a crushing type disadvantage.

[@GusterTails]

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

[@beauvogames]

10:06 So if you had used Fake Out here (before Faint Attack) that would have chipped away what ended up being the sliver of health before all Attract stuff? Phew that close!

[@jand1993]

Interesting as always! Here are some ideas: How about a Vulpix only run in gen 4 platinum? Platinum could be easier, not entirely sure, wether it even is possible in gen 4 Heartgold/Soulsilber, but should in Platinum... Not difficult, but an Eeveelution run in gen 4 Platinum could be fun, and should give you some time to breath! Could you beat Pokémon Crystal as elite 4 Bruno? You sweep him most of the time, but would he be strong enough or worthy of being an Elite 4!

I did a version exclusive run in pokemon violet and it was fun! The cool thing about version exclusive runs is you get to use pokemon you wouldn't normally use. An example for me was I have NEVER used Swalot or a Mismagius but I got to use them and after the run was done I liked Swalot and Mismagius a lot more.

[@easternwoyer3876]

So whyd you delete night shade almost immediately? It's better then faint attack until sableye itself becomes basically useless

[@DanF791]

I always come back to your videos for these challenge runs. I appreciate your will to sacrifice your time for grinding and doing things the old fashioned way. Also I’m most interested in the Pokémon that I never got to use. Like Seviper in this one. Maybe you should look up statistics about what the least used Pokémon are and do a run with that? A team run of the underdogs if you will.

[@PraefMace]

Wattson is such an unique gym leader! He is the only parafusion-themed gym leader out there. And yes, that's totally a type, if you disagree, you get thunder waved and confused as well. Also a very brief story time: I am very fond of Sapphire, it was the first game I managed to get my hands on shiny pokémon, a Linoone and a Seviper. And shiny Seviper looks SO COOL, needless to say I was beyond happy when I managed to catch it back then!

[@leothewhiteranger]

What's fun is, thanks to Scott's Thoughts testing, we know that Solrock and Lunatone are SHOCKINGLY even with each other, with Solrock getting the advantage vs Steven due to fire coverage.

[@ShinjiIkari1]

Pokémon Yellow with first form versions of Ash Ketchums team Pokémon any Gen with the first 6 Pokémon you find in any route, but you can’t evolve them. You can swap out after gym leaders. Pokémon Any Gen but only using RNG moves (Psywave, Magnitude, etc) Pokémon Any Gen but you can only use standard poke balls Pokémon BW2 with only Ns Pokémon Pokémon HGSS with only headbutt tree and sweet scent Pokémon Or moves with random # of attacks like Double Kick, Double Slap, Fury Cutter, etc Fallout NV with thrown melee weapons only Fallout NV with only Nuka Cola (Nuka breaker and Nuka grenades) Fallout 4 with only Thirst Zapper Fallout 4 with only Power Armror and Cryolator Fallout NV with only the dart gun Fallout 4 with only Zeta Wave Gamma Gun Fallout 4 with only Shem Drowne Sword Fallout NV with only a nailed board/baseball bat Fallout NV with only Bladed Gauntlets

[@MinunRobotnik4]

Actually I think you should do these same challenges in ORAS. I think the Ruby team can redeem itself even if you don't allow the Lati twins, because you didn't use them here. You'll have access to your Fire Groudon, but the real interesting one is Mawile. With Heart Scales it gets easy access to Steel and Fairy STAB moves. You can compare how much of an upgrade Mega Mawile is to Mega Sableye. It will have a rough start still, but it will come into its own around the halfway point.

[@danikirk5774]

Instead of training against the Wild Pokémon for Watson, run back & forth between New Mauville and the town Wally lives in. There are 4 trainers you can battle over & over. The Twins, both Pokebreeders (or whatever they're called, the balanced trainers with a full team), and the Nerd. Every 2 or 3 passes you can fight them again, you can even fight the trainers leading to the Surf route towards Fourtree City

[@superconfuzzled]

you should do black 2 or black with only shelmet & karrablast, i never see those pokemon shine i think itd be cool

[@theta1672]

Man I remember the Deadly Preminition games, hilarious playthrough!

[@zidarose]

Love the design of Sableye

[@trevorstevenson4038]

I really do appreciate the Pokemon Mawile. It fits the early Pokemon aesthetic, and it is quite weak so you have to use it situationally.

[@allanjensen59]

A Kyogre with Calm Mind, Ice Beam, Surf and Thunder. Then with a Sitrus Berry (or even better Leftovers) 🤩

[@richarddill692]

A couple notes on Seviper: *First, and foremost, level it up; it was two, possibly three, gyms behind in terms of levels. *Second, moveset; Seviper should absolutely be tapping into it's great coverage options on the special side. Namely, Giga Drain and Flamethrower.

[@zidarose]

Splash 4x, big brain plays

[@Electric999999]

Gen3 legendaries are the sky, sea and earth, so flying/dragon (because they seemed to have something against pure flying types existing prior to Tornadus), water and ground.

[@jordanyoungman2811]

What fossil did you take? I forgot to listen. On another note, how is Helmet doing?

[@Steve_A93]

I never realised that they probably added Shiftry and Ludicolo as exclusives, because Shiftry gets Chlorophyll to pair with Groudon, and Ludi gets Swift Swim to pair with Kyogre. Somehow completley missed that

[@MrRatflmao]

This episode gave me whiplash. i had sapphire as a kid, and i NEVER KNEW! that Groudon wasn't a Fire type. I always thought it was Fire/Ground, with ground being secondary typing... Hell i thought you were kidding, so i looked it up. I hate this...

[@MagileineTopDeckToFullField]

Curious. Why did you teach Kyogre Shock Wave instead of Thunder? Thunder is twice the power and because of Drizzle calling eternal rain, it can't miss either. So it's literally a Shock Wave at 2x power.

It wouldn't be an MDB Pokemon run if he didn't make questionable choices and decisions.

Shed Skin does cure sleep- it has a 1/3 chance of curing all non-volatile status conditions(burn, freeze, sleep, badly/poision, and paralysis). Funny enough though, in only Ruby and Sapphire there's an oversight where it will cure sleep, but the Pokemon will still be effected by Nightmare, as if it was still asleep.

[@AquibMohammedAyman]

Hey this outro was so fun!

[@MinunRobotnik4]

They probably didn't make Groudon a Fire Type because they didn't want the Continent Pokémon to be weak to Ground moves... only to see how much easier Kyogre had it, so they made Primal Groudon, a Pokémon which is weak ONLY to Ground moves.

It would’ve been perfectly fine to make Latios and Latias your starters in the Hoenn exclusive runs. Their only damaging move until Level 30 is Psywave, and you *know* how bad those moves are.

[@kitkatboard]

Tip for anyone who'd like to try Seviper : it can learn Flamethrower, which is a great way to deal with Steel types.

[@DMaster8686]

Groudon wasn't Ground/Fire because it would then become 4x weak to water despite the sunny day. Mega Groudon was made Ground/Fire since his signature ability nullify water damage.

[@danielbutler8103]

I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is. For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.

[@austinmunn]

Should do a glitched or exploited run, whichever one is least impactful so the video isn’t only a minute long though😅 or even an explanation on how a few of your favorites work

Great video. I'm happy you used Ludicolo.

[@joram52776]

I forget if you've ever done this, but have you considered doing a challenge in a later gen where you're only allowed to use gen 1 moves? Preferably in a gen where TM's aren't infinite use.

[@Karokzak]

Gen 3 pokémon are my least favorite and the games I know the least overall. So I would put no prediction at all and just enjoying the show. Pokémon Challenge suggestion: You are free to go with the game of your choice, but the challenges is using only middle evolution stage pokémon. (For Exemple: If you pick Bulbasaur as your starter, you can only battle with Ivysaur.) You are not allowed to use pokémon who's has no evolution or only 1, it must be a pokémon with a 2 stage linear Evolution. So pokémon like Eevee or Tyrogue are not allowed, but pokémon like Oddish, Poliwag or Ralts are allowed. Try number: 20

[@LMK-Gaming]

Groudon does become Ground/Fire in its primal form but that's in ORAS... Aka a game you haven't played...

[@trevorstevenson4038]

What if Lunatone and Solrock had the hidden ability 'same type attack bonus' on Grass and Water respectively. Solrock because it's the sun and plants grow... Lunatone because the moon supposedly pulls the tides. Both are special, which makes sense, but could benefit Lunatone more
