[@briankaste6931]

I posted a comment about the stats with this. The defense curl is the reason, but the HP and defense stats change between geodude and graveler because of the evolution and the slight level difference. I estimated that the +1 def geodude would always need to be a 2HKO with mankey using dig, having about 78%-94% geodude's hp damage range. Whereas the Graveler was a 15/16 chance to be a 1HKO with dig, with a range of about 98%-116% of the graveler's hp.

Probably. Rhydon's got 1 move that can't affect the mankey, 1 move that does terrible damage, and 2 debuffs that would kill defense(which can only be lowered so much), but would also trigger the badge-boost, leading to likely sweeping the rest of the team and even one-shotting the Rhydon when he finally did attack it.

Why on earth is karate chop a normal move?! It's literally named after a martial art. Gen 1 gonna Gen 1 I guess

[@mussolini2525]

Came looking for this comment lol

[@TheDigitalrunner]

Never understood karate chop being normal instead of fighting... Loving this series! :)

[@Ttarler]

Also, love the road to 1M on your title screen. You’re gonna get it do and I’m gonna watch every video you got along the way.

[@JerryAsano]

It feels like it’s been forever since you’ve been gone.

[@sfall616]

Can you breathe for the first time?

[@djembejambi]

Are you so moving on?

[@bradyc1793]

Watch him on Twitch, he's doing Pokemon stuff at least a couple times a week

[@nineteenct]

Thanks to you, now I get, what I want

[@HaydnG266]

Dedicated, you took the time

[@tylerdodson3014]

I get so excited when these videos come out. I immediately run and hide and watch lol

[@MrJonathanoscar]

man these videos are so great i'm so hype for the next one. i feel like it's gonna be a hard pokemon with the gap since this one

[@OisinMcColgan01]

Great video, I've been looking forward to seeing Mankey since the series started!

[@Azkozt]

Bro your content is by far the most consistent stuff I watch on KZbin these days. Much love, keep it goin.

[@TouchedBigfoot8]

Me: Wakes up to see JRose11 posting a new video Also me: Horray!

[@Chloe-rs8nv]

just wanted to say you have a nice inoffensive voice and i enjoy falling asleep to your pokemon challenges (relaxing subject material i'm familiar with). i've watched pretty much every one because i don't like listening to the same things, so i appreciate that you've done so many of these. i do fall asleep to these, but i return to the ones i fall asleep to and continue watching from the last parts i remember. if you ever start any other sort of series, i'd watch them

[@Chloe-rs8nv]

also have grown really fond of your intro, please never change it

[@gillriet773]

dude mankey was one of my favs in gen 1, after a lot of years and adding 500 or so mons on top of that I honestly forgot he existed for a second..

[@FuegoAlicante]

Yess, I was looking forward to another Jrose video! Please try Tauros next!

[@Isabelle-mp8rk]

why didn't you just mimic harden from bruno's first onix? i'd think that makes the fight more consistent

[@ericwolf9664]

Bruno is so infrequently a problem that I think the possibility went straight over his head. He had to think about it to start using withdraw over amnesia for lorelei after all. All these special attackers have definitely built up some muscle memory.

[@DrFoggyPants]

There's a possibility that the time would need to set up the badge boost glitch and just harden in general would provide Bruno ample time to hit him with rocks, maybe if Onix got locked into rage. Plus, I don't think changing from paper defence to cardboard wikk make too much of a difference

[@ericwolf9664]

@@DrFoggyPants onix just isnt a threat. You'd boost so that you'd be able to OHKO more of the them courtesy of 6 additional stacks.

[@petelee2477]

@@DrFoggyPants rock throw has like 20% accuracy and even if it hits fighting resists rock and mankey will be increasing its defense every turn.

[@sameash3153]

Bruno has more than one onix lmao

[@bbr17]

You've not only got my sub, but made me go find a copy of blue to try this for myself! Time to binge watch all your videos

[@Raattis]

I love this match cut 15:03. Good job! :D
