Can I Beat Pokemon Yellow with Psyduck?

[@got2strpk]

It's so refreshing to see someone do one of these on yellow instead of red or blue

[@djembejambi]

@Quinn Nolan What kind of prick hacks their friends Instagram.

[@mythicalskeleton1546]

Yellow is usually way better because it is less likely to softlock a player through certain means

[@MicahhhHD]

I agree.

[@cipherdourdan2328]

Scott: I don't have access to stat boosting moves. Amnesia Psyduck: Heresy

[@TheDjbz]

For future reference against Gyrados Ice beam > Surf (even with STAB) Surf is not very effective while Ice beam is neutral- (the in game text might say otherwise but that’s one of gen 1’s bugs) So surf is only hitting with 67.5 power vs ice beams 90.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Great insight! This makes sense.

[@l.p.7585]

A 'no tm' run could be actually challenging if you're looking to increase. The pidgey line gets mirror move, there could be some sweet strategy solves in that.

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

I've been going through your videos all day, because l have some post-holidays free time. I like your love for Yellow, which is unique. You're also gained over 400 subs since yesterday. Very cool.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Glad you like them!

[@tylerlee5767]

I did psyduck in red and named mine "gotgrapes?" I may do another one and name it lemonade

[@mattchalucha894]

You’re a freaking legend for putting yourself through these challenges over and over again. Keep it up!

[@StatusQuonald]

I was so angry when I found out the Psyduck i´d been training couldn´t learn Psychic...

[@kevmasengale6903]

What fossil did you take? I'm asking because Comments are good for the algorithm

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Helix fossil :)

[@carlosmiravete1159]

At least psyduck benefits from headaches cuz when he gets one he can use confusion🙃

[@julianbojko6168]

Nice challenge, I really appreciate the work you put into these videos.

[@jacobhawney]

Keep it up bro, just found you today and I'm eating it up. Great work!

[@musaedalfahhd]

I've noticed that you always avoid using ground type moves (earthquake,Dig) against venomouth, its poison bug type so it will hit and its defense is way less than its special.

[@musaedalfahhd]

Btw keep up the great videos.. I would like to see a Kingler only challenge since no has ever done it.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

I always think it's flying haha

[@professionalidiot1156]

It’s venomoth not venomouth

[@professionalidiot1156]

@@j2398 im not mad i’m just correcting

[@toxicperson8936]

I’m pretty sure venomoth is a psychic/dragon type

[@glockworkorange6598]

Anyone notice it? "I tank the electric attack it throws at me, and I get my dig off... It doesn't go down!" It's always bad when you put your little friend off and the opponent don't go down, I hate when this happen! 😆

[@suzig5702]

Psyduck is one of the few water types that has trouble with fire types.

[@WilliamElric10]

Why did they do my boi Psyduck so bad with that moveset. No no moves till 28... starts with scratch smh.

[@davidschottle3332]

I like your content, I can see that you are inspired by bread and jrose. I enjoy your Video and hope you grow fast, good work.

[@Kristalya]

Psyduck is so derpy and cute 💛

[@Walton_Doody]

Just wanted to say I love your content. You remind me a lot of JRose both of you do a great job of talking about the battles.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Thanks so much! JRose is a big inspiration of mine.

[@lonewolf975]

Thanks for the great content 😊 really love these challenge run videos, makes me wanna try similar challenges myself with how fun you can make them look in the videos.

[@InfernosReaper]

Wait, Psyduck can learn body slam. That's way better than megapunch and and double edge. Sure, there's a 15 power gap, but no recoil pays for itself considering how many times double edge kills you. Moreover, it has a paralysis chance, which can help deal with a speed gap. I've seen that move carry many a run.

[@shanoc5902]

So something that I've never understood, you have a tendency to use ice beam against Onyx and Rhyhorn even though water moves are more effective. Icebeam is 2x effective because of their ground-typing while water moves would be 4x effective due to the rock and ground effectiveness, water and ice are also still special so no advantage there. While icebeam is 95 power which would make it edge out watergun, bubblebeam is 65 power so it'd be better, but here since Psyduck is a water type you're also getting STAB on water moves but not ice, so that means that while icebeam is basically a 95x2 special move, Watergun would be a 45x4x1.5 special move and Bubblebeam a 65x4x1.5 special move. I get that Giovanni is a joke either way, and ice beam is basically a must have regardless, but it just always struck me as odd how in a few challenges you go out of your way to avoid using bubblebeam on his rock/ground pokemon to use icebeam which would be weaker against them. Not that it matters too much when it's a one-hit either way and Erika early on and Lance late on make Icebeam a good addition to your moveset regardless.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Thanks for the tips. A lot of people have mentioned this to me already. I'll be using more bubblebeam vs Rock+Ground pokemon in the future.

[@marcinkopycki1918]

I do love your vids, you make challenges with all my favourite pokemons :)

COMMENT OF ENGAGEMENT! PRAISE THE ALGORITHM! LET THIS VIDEO BE UPLIFTED! RECOMMEND TO MANY!!

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

PRAISE THE ALGORITHM!

[@hazebro3786]

surf deals more dmg than confusion except if surf is resisted and confusion is super effective like against tentacool

[@slayersam1]

Although against tencool you're probably still better off using a neutral physical move and it's surprising 100 base special

[@rennyjesus]

Psychic would help dealing extra damage to a few pokes in the Elite 4 like Gyarados. Not that it matters now that you beat the game but it could be helpful in future runs (you can get the TM for Psychic in Saffron City)

[@bongosmcdongos4190]

Psyduck can't learn psychic. Yes I know that's hard to believe

[@rennyjesus]

@@bongosmcdongos4190 oh my... since it could learn it in later gens I assumed it could in gen 1... it reminds me of Charizard and Dragonite not learning Fly in R&B xD

Hey Scott, how's it going? I know this is an old video but I haven't seen it yet and I gotta watch em all!!! Hope all is well!!!

[@james_ford86]

I know you think Venomoth is Grass/Flying ;) but it's actually Bug/Poison and its physical defense is significantly weaker than its special, so you should have been using Dig against it. Lol.

[@pietzychannel]

He used dig instead of confusion against Koga. Why?

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Because I'm bad? haha

[@justboschma5047]

Why not use confusion on cloyster? His special is way worse then his fisical defense

[@priestesslucy]

It's a significantly smaller gap in Gen 1. Might still be worth it, not sure

[@escapecamper]

thanks scott

Question why didn't you icebeam venonat and venomoth? But overall I loved this video.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Usually I use the wrong move because I suck at understanding the type chart haha

[@Irmarinen]

During 5th rival battle why didn't you use confusion(psychic) against cloister?

[@FreshBones08]

Right, it’s a special attack and could’ve even lower the opponents special

[@Irmarinen]

@@FreshBones08 no, that's psychic, confusion causes confusion 10% of the times, but true, a neutral-special attack would be far more effective on physical wall of a cloyster.

[@348joey]

Probably should've used dig against Venomoth. Its Poison/Rock typing makes it weak to Ground. Most people forget the Rock typing, but Venomoth rocks, so it gets it.

[@magusperde365]

No you freaking noob, its aquarius and INTJ

[@gabr.7878]

I like this channel

[@pokelol92]

Just wondering. Why not using Toxic on Lorelai Slowbro? Rets Toxic should be enough. And then change one for Blizzard which is more op in 1gen. And second why not use Seismic toss? I beat Lorelai in this way in gen 1 with Psyduck

[@oscarisaksson5553]

Question why didnt you pickup the psychic tm in saffron?

[@python1972]

In Gen 1 at least, Psyduck could not learn psychic

[@TheDjbz]

Ahh Psyduck. The pokemon I once tossed out my team upon finding out it can’t learn Psychic. (Also it not being water/psychic still makes no sense)

So weird. There are some geniunely weird typings in Pokemon. Why is Gyarados Flying and not Dragon?

It would but psyduck doesn't learn amnesia

Hey Scott, I just wanted to say why I'm not subscribed, since I do like your challenge videos. It's because I'm uncomfortable with the word "derp," because it started I believe as a way to mock someone with neurological problems ("derp face") and has since been associated with the r-slur, and as an autistic person, usage of it makes me feel unsafe. If you'd consider maybe trying to phase it out of your vocabulary, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. :3
