Can You Beat Pokemon Red/Blue with Just a Hitmonlee?

Fun fact, in gen 1 Jolteon and nidoran learn more fighting moves by level up then hitmonchan. They learn the same amount of fighting moves as Primeape, and are just 1 short away from Machamp. I don’t count moves as counter and seismic toss as true fighting moves since they are set damaged moves.

If you're looking for some non-run video ideas, here are two I'd like to see: * A Top 10 list of the solo runs you think you can do better and/or more quickly. * A video explaining your routing, what is optimal and why, and when you would deviate from the optimal routing and why (like why you skipped Surge in your Charmander run.)

[@SemiHypercube]

only in gen 1 would you use the move that lowers your crit rate (that's supposed to raise it) because getting a crit would deal less damage if you raise your attack

[@yoseftreitman7226]

And they say focus energy is worse than splash. Focus energy has a niche.

[@Igorcastrochucre]

@@yoseftreitman7226 I mean, you'd still wouldn't use Focus Energy since a non-critical hit is more likely to happen anyway.

[@ganjafi59]

@@Igorcastrochucre still a niche tho

[@fahkyew7776]

@@Igorcastrochucre I haven't gotten far in the video, but the crit rate in gen 1 is relatively high, so over the course of a battle with several turns, you're pretty likely to get a crit or two. I'd say it's actually a good idea to spend a turn reducing your crit rate against a non-threatening pokemon.

[@SemiHypercube]

@@fahkyew7776 It is high for most Pokemon because in gen 1 the critical hit rate was actually based off of the pokemon's base speed (BaseSpeed/512 for those wondering, 8x as likely if it's a high-crit move) so for example Hitmonlee's crit rate would be 87/512 or about 17%, for comparison the base crit rate in gen 2-6 is 6.25% and 4.167% from gen 7 onward. Also, notably if the pokemon has a base speed stat of at least 64, then if it uses a high-crit move (like Razor Leaf or Slash) it would almost (1/256 glitch strikes again) always be a critical hit...unless you used Focus Energy or a Dire Hit.

[@shelteringmars391]

Great video, Jrose! Thanks. I was waiting a long time for this video, because I love Hitmonlee! It's my favorite fighting-type pokémon of the first generation. This pokémon is so nice that Game Freak has given it a good number of signature moves: "Rolling Kick", "Jump Kick" and "Hi Jump Kick". As far as I can recall, Hitmonlee is the pokémon with most signature moves, in the first generation. Since I'm a fan of signature moves, it's really hard for me to make him forget any of those three moves (even though "Hi Jump Kick" could be considered a more powerful "Jump Kick", I could never make him forget "Jump Kick"). Taking advantage of the "Seismic Toss" glitch for being able to hit ghost-type pokémon in the first generation games, my Hitmonlee's movepool would be his three signature moves mentioned + "Seismic Toss". Then, it would be able to hit any pokémon.

[@jdawg2798]

What a fantastic late night surprise. Love to hear that intro again! Much love Jrose.

[@christopherballero866]

While for several Pokemon like: Tauros, Jolteon, Alakazam, Gengar, Mewtwo & Hitmonlee speed and critical hit rates having been tied together was great but it also sucked that getting a crit negated the attacker's stat boost was a potential issue. Never realized that Hitmonlee had very close to the same base stat average as base form starters

[@youtube-kit9450]

Yeah, the hitmons, for being prized pokémon you get from a "gym" and whatnot, have super low base stats. In general, the first few gens were terrible about rare pokémon actually being worth getting.

[@dragonknight1560]

[@paulnewton2284]

Great to see you again, as always. I think Bellsprout will make an interesting run. On the one hand, it gets a lot of fun tools like Growth, Razor Leaf, and Sleep Powder, and it gets them quite early. (In fact, it _starts_ with Growth). On the other hand, its offensive movepool is... bad. It doesn't even get Body Slam.

[@Igorcastrochucre]

A combination of Sleep Powder + Growth + Mega Drain (because you don't want critical hits, so no Razor Leaf) is what gave Bulbasaur the advantage in the starters run. Fourth move would be either Double-Edge, Acid or Mimic. Only problem is: because it only has Vine Whip at the start, it's gonna need to set up Growth for anything that resists it like Pidgeotto or Bug-types, and its other attack, Wrap takes a while. The beginning is gonna be really slow.

[@17Master]

Agatha Lottery will be absolutely brutal for Bellsprout, since its damage pool is only Grass, Poison and Normal. Rival fights will probably be difficult once he has Charizard since Bellsprout is so slow and Pidgeot will make setting up rough. Will be fun for us to watch, but poor Jrose.

[@nihildwo4874]

@@17Master i mean bulbasaur wasn t too bad and this is basically a bulbasaur with wrap but no body slam

[@brutusthebear9050]

I've done Bellsprout minimum battles myself, l the way up to the elite four. It's definitely possible, I'm not nearly as skilled as JRose though and I ended up giving up. I dont know where all the rare candies and ethers and stuff are. Agatha isn't as bad as you'd think. Bellsprout gets sleep powder, which is a necessity for the run. This means you can use sleep powder and mimic dream eater to basically two-shot the entire team. She can't do enough damage to win right away. The biggest problems were Lance and Lorelei. Lorelei doesn't one-shot with anything, so she's mostly safe. The problem is, she has a chance to freeze. And I kept. Getting. Frozen. With Lance, the problem is Gyrados. You can set up and sweep on the dragonair, as the poison typing messes with his AI. But you have to deal with Gyrados first. As long as he doesn't use hyperbeam, taking him down is as simple as putting him asleep. But he kept. Using. Hyperbeam. The early game has a few rough battles. The first bug catcher, for example, is the worst fight in the game and took me ~10 attempts. It's completely RNG. But, it is most certainly possible. The run gets easy after Mt. Moon, for the most part. As long as you have sleep powder that is. It's a bit of a luck based pokemon, but is also pretty strong ngl.

[@damoncheek7]

Well after watching many of your videos. I finally completed my first solo run. It was with a Blastoise not the most difficult of challenges but I felt accomplished. Keep up the great work!

Have you ever considered using one rare candy before each elite four member? That way you dont level up in the middle of a battle, and lose your badge boost glitch/feature. Also, your videos are very entertaining. And you are a great commentator.

This was a hell of a run. My favorite little kickin' McNugget dude did great. You cleared the Elite Four at a surprisingly low level despite the largely bland movepool.

He's using Seismic Toss to attack the ghost Pokémon which deals damage equal to your level so there's no RNG involved in this instance.

Absolute highlight of my night. Feels like old times after a really, really rough month. Hitmonlee with all the Fighting moves did well but seems to have fallen about where you would expect it. All that's left is Poliwrath and the Machop line for Fighting if I recall? It's always a pleasure to see you streaming Mario and YouTubing Pokemon. Hope you are well :3
