Can you please do Pokémon black with just Munna?

Gen V but without leveling up

[@musicalsystem927]

Gen 3 with only dark moves

[@gmsloep]

17:12 a story about a Guard Spec? MDB, have you forgotten about your own Voltorb run? Giovanni was a nightmare for you in the last gym because his Guard Specs stopped you from using Screech, and you kept running out of PP for your non-Electric moves as a result!

[@Tohtal1]

Hi MDB, challenge idea: only trades but no new moves! maybe in fire red or gold... :) i'd say to go for a game with more than 3 trades in this case :)

[@ExcenGaming]

The way you shout out these smaller streamers/youtubers is something that very few have ever replicated before. It all felt so natural, and all of them were great suggestions. You do a lot of great work for the little guys out there. Thanks for giving these other channels the light of day that KZbin would ignore.

[@onijester56]

Like, if he didn't mention the one KZbinr only had like less than a minute of content hosted, I would have believed she was his friend and he was promoting her as a friend. (Which if the case, would probably lead me to watching her videos despite me being kinda drunk. But at a minute of content...yeah, that's really fun...)

[@Shlonzs]

I’m always looking for smaller channels to watch. Especially livestreamers because you actually can talk with them directly. They also usually do more obscure games

[@typhoon008]

OMG, the guard spec story I'm still trying to get every gold symbol in emerald frontier battles, and the last pokemon I added to the team was a curselax. I had to level up until lvl 85, so I used the elite four many times. By the way, with fully HP + SP Def EV train, starting at level 38 I was able to win :-p You know the mightyena on Sydney likes to spam sand attack, and I needed at least a double boost by curse to overcome the trainer at that level. Guard Spec is magic there, the AI does not understand that you are safe from that attack XD

[@typhoonboom]

[@jamesavery3727]

Metagross+ Latios allows you to sweep the entire frontier. It's what speedrunners use. you can find walkthroughs with movesets that they use and strats online

[@donlyphans7801]

I spent a lot of time getting the gold symbols too. So much time in fact that I now hold the record for the longest Factory streak. I'd recommend saving lots of your time and using the pc box cloning glitch to clone 5 Pokemon holding 5 rare candies over and over to avoid having to battle the elite four for exp.

[@enerc2333]

In the first 3 generations the AI ​​is stupid, it is clumsy, and it only makes random attacks, but I think that if you go with a Pokémon with white smoke I think I still do not read that you have immunity to the sandatack, or someone with keen eye, I think that from the 4th generation they do things differently, but these games are not like the final fantasy, being it was thinking for children.

[@masterfy24]

Odd story, but I used to have an emulator on my DS and play Pokémon Yellow. For some reason, the version of the game my dad got me didn't work in the sense that if I caught a Pokémon and saw it's Pokémon entry, it would just go blank? That meant that I could only have Pikachu, the three starters, hitmonlee or hitmonchan, and so on. In a way, I kind of already did this challenge when I was a wee little boy. 🤣

Funny story, I got the inspiration to do my first gift pokemon run from your "In game trade only" videos. I was actually the first challenge runner to do a gift pokemon only run and they quickly became my most watched videos by far. I have you to thank for that in a way, as I probably wouldn't have thought to do a run like that otherwise, as pretty much everyone was doing solo runs exclusively. Seeing you do a gift pokemon run is kind of surreal to me, but in the best way possible! Thanks again for what you've contributed to the challenge running community :)

[@MahDryBread]

Thanks! It's still wild to me that people started making videos after seeing my goofy stuff

[@bridgefair8594]

[@almightyk11]

20:50 Finally a recent video where you mention this XD Alright, so for the Normal/Fly distinction I can explain that one for you. Without going too deep into lore and speculation. Every move of Pokemon has an aura effect about it radiating energy of that "element" (for lack of a better word). In many cases it is this energy striking the target rather than the physical object. The exception to this is Normal and Fighting. What makes a Normal type normal is the lack of energy influence. This is why Normal Typing has no strengths or weaknesses, it is the physical object making contact. Fighting type moves similarly are the expression of Martial form. It has a small amount of energy (Chi effectively) but taken from the natural form (thus it's interaction with other types), however as it is still fundamentally applying a direct physical impact Ghosts can still phase through it. The existence of Chi gives Ghosts something to interact with which is why Ghost can harm Fighting types. Flying goes back to the "Element" thing I mentioned earlier. While a normal peck would pass through a ghost, the move "Peck" is a name given to a small gathering of Fly type energy focused at the tip of the beak. This is also why we have things like Whooper using Ice Punch, and Doduo using fly.

[@HathiFan]

The funny thing for Germans is that "Gift" is german for "Poison", so at first I thought for a moment that you were only going to use Poison Type Pokémon 😄

[@robertlupa8273]

Hey, that one's new! Should be pretty easy, since you can get all Kanto starters, but who cares about it being too easy when the host is MDB! ^^

[@HomeCookinMTG]

Not to mention Jolteon and Gyarados lol

[@paulthompson382]

For the algorithm's sake, beat any (first 4 gen) pokemon game with the most algorithmy Pokemon there is: Porygon

[@Seblar87]

Seconded! I really want to see this,

[@ultm8gamer326]

Name it ‘Algorithm’

[@aaronodonoghue1791]

Fun Fact: Guard Spec is basically canned Mist. A Guard Phys would most likely be canned Safeguard (also 5 turns, statuses are more "physical" than stat drops, plus canned Protect would be busted)

[@ethanrose9682]

God, could you imagine *consumable item Safeguard?* Gross.

[@aaronodonoghue1791]

@@ethanrose9682 Well, at least it's not Consumable Item Protect. That is literally the definition of busted. And maybe that's why there's no Guard Phys

[@PBK1977]

Somebody else suggested Pokemon Platinum with one Skorupi and I'd like to second it. I think it'd be good for the KZbin algorithm.

[@cutekittyforever]

[@angelwhispers2060]

Hope you are doing better now

[@cutekittyforever]

@@angelwhispers2060 I am thank you for asking!!

[@jackmahoney3783]

An interesting idea for a challenge would be gen 5 with only deerling. It’s about as strong as a first form starter.

[@jackmahoney3783]

I suggest a Red/Blue run with only Magmar. If you look at its move list you’ll understand why. If you want throw in no Tms for added challenge I’m pretty sure magmar would have one of the highest base stat totals for a mon in a single run that you’ve done so far.

[@Medabee8]

You've commented this b4

[@MelloxMaster]

Magmar would be a bit boring and eventually not that hard. Its TM move pool includes Psychic, Body Slam, Mega Punch, Hyper Beam and since it doesn't learn anything until lvl 36 for Leer, lvl 39 Confuse Ray and lvl 43 for Fire Punch, MDB would just have to grind levels and only use Ember and Mega Punch most of the run until then. So it would just be lvl 20 Magmar to defeat Brock, probably 30ish to defeat Misty and then after that the run would slowly become a breeze, though Lorelei would pose potential problems.

[@DaermaeonBranKor]

@@MelloxMaster I think that’s why the commenter mentioned possibly doing no TMs. Then we really have a challenge!

[@caylacomix3039]

Fun Fact: Exeggutor's yellow sprite was so good that they used it again in gold and crystal

[@khalilli6613]

[@Kjoeran]

Fun fact about when Guard spec is helpful - for the algorithm, ofc: Guard spec is used in Alpha Sapphire + Omega Ruby any% speedruns. Without it, the team Aqua/Magma leader is going to lower your stats when you try to set up. If they don't lower your stats however, they use Embargo instead, which means you can not set up anyway. GLHF with that!

[@AsheSkye]

Guard spec is useful in challenge runs that allow items against teams with intimidate. For example, gen 3 venusaur champion has gyarados and aracanine with it. In a nuzlocke you can get an easy win setting up dragon dances with a gyarados against pidgeot and then using guard spec before sweeping.

[@dakotashroom5401]

Yes, please make more videos like this one! You could play through Johto with only gift pokemon. There are 2 gift eggs, a shuckle, a gift eevee, a spearow, and the starter. In Crystal you can get evolution stones from some trainers if you get their number. One of the gift eggs you get has a random pokemon inside it.

[@tomasribeiro2779]

There's a gift dratini too, after the 8yth gym

[@makooo52]

also a gift tyrogue in mount mortar

[@silliercrayon9588]

And the 3 Primo eggs in HGSs

[@dakotashroom5401]

I tried to not name all the gift Pokémon. But, in Crystal you can get 1 if the 3 Kanto starters after you get all 16 badges. This is another reason why playing Crystal is the best Johto game for this challenge of the original 3.

[@prathibaramadas8086]

While I was playing through Pokemon emerald i was battling archie in the first turn misclicked and used gaurd spec instead of x attack and it really saved me as his mightiyana kept on spamming sand attack and failed and sharpedo kept on spamming scary face. In the last turn while my swampert was in red hp i outspead the sharpedo and finished off the battle. This one is important because i was trying beat the game with just my starter and if i lose a single battle i lose the challenge.

Wow, that a nice blast from the past. I actually did something very "similiar" to this years ago before the internet was not only dial up. instead I used pokemon Ash actually used, and well since most the gift pokemon are what Ash gets, the only ones I actually caught and used were butterfree and pidgeotto. Luckly Pidgeotto actually spawns in viridian forest so I was able to get it right there. but yeah doing it this way, the rock gym is gonna wall. I had Butterfree to muscle my way through with confusion.

Here's my Guard Spec story. I speedrun most Pokemon games, and in Gold we use a Guard Spec for the final fight vs Red. At that point we have a lvl 62 Feraligatr and he leads with Pikachu. Thunder doesn't oneshot, so he has a 75% chance to use charm on any turn that we havent attacked yet. We use a guard spec turn one, set up our x attacks and x speed and with some luck we win the fight with Pikachu never landing a hit. The guard spec protects us from all the Charm attack drops

[@ajktulm]

When doing a gen 2 run, guard spec can be pretty useful for red. It lasts the entire battle, and means you can set up against physical attackers against pikachu, since you can spam curse without worrying about charm ruining your attack.

I did a no-catch run-through of Blue Version last month which is basically the same thing except your also allowed to buy the pokemon from the game corner.

How cool of you to recommend some other channels. I was particularly interested in Greenclock's Megaman Starforce run. So rare to see those

[@michaelbounds4821]

man i dont use twitter but i can tell you i have been trying to do my own nuzlock in radical red and failing horrible but having fun you inspired me to give my hand at streaming so i want to thank you MDB keep up the amazing job Imhauntingu2 is my stream

You should totally try a Radical Red playthrough. Super tough game but you’ve played enough Pokémon to where you shouldn’t have any issues, it’s super satisfying to go through the game with all the improvements

I love these videos of you do. Something I think it'd be really cool to see is an only multi turn or multi strike moves. Bind, wrap, clamp, fury attack, twineedle, fury swipes, I think you would have to start with Beedrill for fury attack and twineedle. Gen 1 btw

19:03 lol i got an ad about ice at the second he says ice. Mind blowing.

[@mitchbarnes755]

Yes! I love these gift only runs!

Nice! Mankey should be a good one for the next run! This one was fun--nice to see something different than a weak pokemon using the same one of like three different moves at lvl 70+... I think you should consider a run that requires some real planning--try a run where you can never fight another pokemon with a pokemon of higher level-- in other words, you always have to have a pokemon that at least matches the lowest level of the lowest pokemon of whatever rival you fight. (e.g., if they have a level 19 and a level 18 pk, you could use a level 19 to fight the 19, and a level 18 to fight either). Would be fun.

Man you should have taken the dome fossil on this run.... that would’ve literally been galaxy brain... only time you get to use it and it’s not even the helix fossil lol. Love your stuff man!
