Benedikt well it would still be a nice move in a regular playthrough. Some good tms are finite, so this could still be a move you put on your mon with the worst movepool. It happens to be solid for venusaur since its movepool isn’t that good. Also, for any fast mon, using mimic against a mon with an OHKO move + 1 x accuracy is an easy sweep. Of course, it would be a liability in comp gen 1

@@ionlydrinkjesusmilk7256 The sad thing about using growth with venu is its best grass move crits 99.6% of the time. So you end up having to resort to mega drain or solarbeam. Leech seed toxic is a great combination but for a casual setting (which was the framework here), you generally prefer more offensive wins. X item spam would probably be a faster way to succeed with venusaur in casual play than going for leech seed toxic. Especially since once you have sleep power + x acc + more speed than the opponent (which might happen naturally have getting a stacked speed boost), you have free setup reign to go for a sweep.

Dang, I knew Gastly was good, but I didn't think it was this good. I'm impressed. I'm thinking Staryu will be one of the best runs. Its movepool is amazing and it gets Recover. It MIGHT give Gastly a run for its money just because of Ice Beam and Surf, but Gastly's immunities will probably keep it at the top. I'm mostly looking forward to Vulpix and Growlithe. Fire is a fairly bad type in Gen 1, sadly, but those 2 are some of my all-time favs. I'm also looking forward to Dratini.

No chance. Staryu can't beat brock until level 17. With slow EXP curve on top of that you'll be grinding for hours.

Tentacool is essentially a better version than staryu in every single way and even that one can't compete with Gastly.

Charizard is kind of on that same boat, Fire types really weren't that good in the RBY metagame but I'd say Charizard is the 2nd best starter (in competitive, charizard is the worst starter in-game) and I'd say he was outclassed by ninetales and Moltres (just like venusaur, is also UU but was OU with strategy). Blastoise though, I agree, it gets outclassed by so many other water types (Starmie, Lapras, slowbro, cloyster, even gyarados are good examples)

I agree with all of this. Great comment; I was thinking all of this myself. Magmar should be counted this generation as a nonevolving Pokemon comparable to Onix or Lapras, and I think it would fit the challenge well, only learning Ember to face Brock with. It gets a few good TM attacks such as Psychic and Body Slam, and Mega Punch can come in handy until it's able to learn the latter. It has good offensive stats and Speed, balancing it with things like Gastly and Abra since it isn't quite as powerful, but has noticeably better bulk and similar Speed. I'm looking forward to Magmar more than Electabuzz or Jynx, though Electabuzz would also be a fun challenge, because Magmar is part of a generally more challenging type to use in the first generation. Also it's my favorite of the three, but that's secondary.

I tried this with a perfect DV Gastly, and was able to do the minimum battles without using any Rare Candies at the end, those perfect DVs were certainly required though as the Alakazam's Psychic at the end was almost an OHKO without a crit, even with me pumping Calcium to the vitamin cap ASAP to maximize my Special Stat EXP, so with a couple less points in HP and Special DVs it becomes a luck more luck reliant if you're getting OHKO'd by Psychic without a crit (and he might miss out on a crucial OHKO or 2HKO too). So your Gastly might not have been strong enough to do it without Rare Candies, but you definitely didn't need to use them all, in the future I think it would be better when you have a minimum battles run going that you avoid using all your Rare Candies up at once, to see how low a level you can truly finish at. I also think the Charizard team is the hardest and is the one I went with; the Zard is more threatening than the Blastoise, as they have equivalent Special yet the Zard is a lot faster, so better crit chance and you might not outspeed it (my Gastly was able to, but if my Speed DV was a bit lower it might have missed it), and then Fire Blast is slightly more accurate than Hydro Pump with a 30% Burn chance that might just finish you off if you're almost dead, alongside Fire Spin to trap you if you're slower, while the Blastoise can also waste turns with Withdraw wheras the Zard won't since its other two moves are Normal type and thus Blue will avoid them. Then with Arcanine vs. Gyarados, yeah you'll typically OHKO the latter so the former tickling you with Ember makes it technically more dangerous, but if you get your Special dropped by an Alakzam Psychic you'll miss the OHKO on Gyarados and then get slammed hard by Hydro Pump (which happened to me and made me fail a run), so the Gyarados certainly has the potential to fuck you still. Overall though all the starters suck against Gastly and none of the Arcanine/Gyarados/Exeggutor trio can do anything to Gastly typically either, so it doesn't really matter which one he picks and either way the real final boss is the Alakazam; if you can beat him without your Special getting dropped and can Mimic Recover, you should have the battle won unless you run out of PP against the Exeggutor or have bad luck against the Zard/Blastoise. Also as a final note about your Giovanni battle, Giovanni's Dugtrio DOES NOT get OHKO'd by Psychic without a crit (if a perfect Gastly pumped up early on Calcium couldn't do it on minimum battles and no Rare Candies, no Gastly can), and in turn you will get OHKO'd by Dig, so you do have to put it to sleep to win more reliably.

Awesome performance by Gastly. When I learnedd Jrose would be doing this with multiple unevolved pokemon besides the starters I looked at most options, and realized Gastly will do great, but didn't think it would be good enough to do it with minimum battles! Maybe using less rare candies could give even lower score, and I think Gastly could do the last three at a level or two lower. Agatha seems to be the only big obstacle, but she's basically just a one big random number generator so nobody does well against her. Maybe Abra would if it had a movepool. Anyway, still rooting for Tentacool. A bit more bulk than Gastly, same Special but just a bit slower, and gets it's own boost move in Barrier as well as ice/water coverage that is only resisted by water, and Mega Drain for it. No sleep unfortunately, so Sabrina could be hard with that Poison type, and no water for Brock seems to mean that it can't achieve this now coveted minimum battles. Other good ones would be Poliwag because of great speed, Hypnosis, Amnesia and coverage, and maybe Slowpoke because of its sheer bulk, Psychic type and Amnesia, but always being the slowest can hurt. Edit: Oh dang Tentacool has Slow leveling rate, that might ruin it.

I'm always delighted when you upload and it makes my probably shitty day that much better. Thank you for making life a bit more enjoyable and thanks for getting me into Pokemon challenge runs! :)

I ended keeping nightshade the entire run (together with hypnosis, psychic and thunder bolt). In the end I was around level 60, which is quite decent damage, and it was a great supplement for some fights, mainly psychic type like Kogas gym and Rivals Exeggutor

I just (successfully, might I add) did a Tentacool-only run of Emerald, so I'd be up to seeing that run here, too. I discovered, to my shock, that Tentacool's move pool (at least in Gen III) is actually nuts, but I don't currently have a way to access Gen I other than the remakes, so I don't know if that's true there.

If you have access to an emulator I suggest downloading OpenEmu. Can emulate tons of different consoles and does it well; has support for the Gameboy era as well and can emulate patched romhacks. And its honestly really cool to hear how good or bad certain Pokemon were before gen 4! The physical/special split really polarized the series. Also it almost always seems like Water pokemon generally have pretty expansive movepools, I suppose to give them lots of wiggle room for coverage to patch up their more common weaknesses and the types that resist it? All in all a really great type and you can't quite go wrong with a water type most of the time.
@cmck3624 жыл бұрын
@@xxxmysticaldragonxxx Water doesn't have big weaknesses. They're only weak to grass and electric. Electric as an attacking type only does super effective damage vs flying and water so it has a limited niche. There aren't a lot of electric pokemon either in the early gens. Grass in the early gens just sucks. So as a defensive typing water is doing pretty damn well. Water is also only resisted by itself, dragon, and grass. On top of that all water pokemon get surf for an insanely powerful stab move which canceled out any late game move pool issues. Which mean as an attacking type it's also doing great. So I don't think that justification for their expansive movepool works.

@@cmck362 expansive movepools? Starmie and Lapras and Gyarados aside water types tend towards fairly bad movepools in gen 1
@cmck3624 жыл бұрын
@@priestesslucy3299 He said they had expansive movepools and justified it with the fact that their typing has a lot of common vulnerabilities. I didn't agree that those vulnerabilities existed to a large enough degree to explain why waters have good coverage. As far as their coverage goes any water that doesn't have a lot of moves also doesn't have good stats so it's a moot point. Any of the decent water types worth using have good movepools. There's no high stat'd water pokemon with a bad movepool unlike say electric. The best electric pokemon have limited coverage moves to go with their high stats. That's not a thing for water types. As far as gen 1 goes you're forgetting a few water types with good moves. There's also Blastoise and Slowbro. There's arguably a few more, but they're more borderline. Worth noting that all waters can learn ice beam and surf so at the very least everyone has two good moves minimum. For gen 1 that's pretty good. It's also worth noting that there are only 16 water pokemon lines. There are 5 that we specifically mentioned and there are a few more that I could have listed as borderline. Roughly half the water pokemon have good coverage moves available to them. So saying waters tend to lack coverage is a bit misleading don't you think?
