Dodrio Line - How fast can I beat Pokémon Crystal (again)? - Pokémon Crystal Solo Challenge

[@ashleykerry2189]

Hi Squidy, firstly fantastic run! Well done Dodrio! Secondly it’s amazing I had to go back and watch the first run again to see the differences again here’s some things I picked up on, Voice over flow on your videos has improved so much over the 2 years and the amount you menu has gone down so much too. The final time previously you hadn’t even started will so that shows how much you’ve improved your game play! This time round you also were 1 level lower when starting the red battle! Keep making fantastic content! Love seeing it! Lastly Thank you for the great entertainment over the last 2 years! Keep it coming

[@Squidgy]

Thanks Ashley! Menuing is something I've been focusing on a LOT lately; it's where I lose most of my time, and I think it's finally producing results with the lower times.

[@horizonforevergold]

Congrats on 7000, and 10k in no time at all I am sure. Well deserved!

[@Squidgy]

Thank you! I never put any expectations on how many people will subscribe to the channel! As long as just a couple of people leave with a smile on their faces, then I am very happy!

As they say in Yugioh, Bird Up

[@RibsnWhey]

Dodrio is underrated in my opinion, love the design :) Gutted I always miss the live videos but glad to have found this channel. Amazing content and commitment so good to hear someone be geniuinly passionate about their content :) Keep up the great work

[@juliekilkus4510]

10k is coming for sure! I love the end of the line series , the redos and all the new content!

[@christopherballero866]

Way to go Dodrio the fact that STAB normal and flying is only resisted by 2 types both of which are uncommon in Johto/Kanto helped a lot

[@DwunD016]

That final battle had me on the edge of my seat to get that top spot.

[@turbotortoise7336]

You certainly are drilling along with these solo runs🎉

[@MusicHavenSG]

And Congrats on the 7K, mate!

[@Matthias.Abaddon]

YES DODRIO IS MY FAVORITE I KNEW IT COULD REIGN SUPREME!

[@Squidgy]

Dodrio's one of my favourites as well! I don't let my feelings about a Pokémon get in the way of how I play a challenge, but I definitely wanted do get Dodrio a very, very fast time!

[@26KIDa]

BIRD SUPREMACY! Fly high, my beloved Flying types!

[@fethrish7688]

The Bruno AI saved a reset. Instead of seeing the knock out with sandstorm chip with a neutral mach punch it saw the super effective elemental punch probably as a kill.

[@laelienriviere5735]

Normal flying type, with return and the early game OP peck with the attack and type badge boost, is just busted in Gen 2. Love it..

[@chaddnorthern4711]

Great run!

[@andersonantunesdeleu8591]

Congratulations to dodrio! It has persevered! The lesson for us to learn is simple: never underestimate Blue or Red😅!

[@blakeschwab7518]

more dodrio? yes always more dodrio

[@BenjaminGlatt]

Missed opportunity to name it "Doduover".

[@kangaskdan]

Oh man, thinking about the pre-game hook days, how naive we were :D

[@ttc3453]

Squidgy I really enjoy the content keep it up. From Texas USA

[@veraxiana9993]

Good job Dodrio!

[@PalkiLuv]

Would Hidden Power Ground not have been even better?

[@Squidgy]

We did Hidden Power Ground in the original Dodrio challenge, and it was significantly worse: kzbin.info/www/bejne/np7LqH2vqMyUrrM

[@armandovaltierra5892]

@@Squidgy thanks for the info! I also thought hidden power ground would have been useful against the poison, ground, fire, steel, & rock Pokémon. I’m shocked it didn’t go well the first time. I really enjoy the videos!

[@Squidgy]

Dodrio was one of my first challenges, so it's not completely surprising that it was slower, but I was shocked by the difference! 99% of the time with a physical attacker, HP Ground is absolutely the right play! Dodrio is a bit of an edge case, though. We have Drill Peck and Return - those two moves are going to give us neutral coverage for most of the threats, and everything that's left has abysmally poor Sp.Def with relatively high Physical Defense, so with a workable Sp.Atk like Dodrio's, we can keep a higher Attack DV and run a Special HP type.

I didn't think anything would be able to beat Ho-Oh.

[@thomaswilliams1533]

My favorite gen 1 bird

[@LilPrzy]

This why i was in favour of keeping the legendaries as part of the same leaderboard. All the mtthical hoo hah means nothing next to STAB Return

[@SonicMeters]

This is a great run 👍👍👍👍

[@MegamanXV0]

Lapras really should have a re-run. Just because it's my favorite Pokemon. So feel free to wait until it's right.

[@Squidgy]

I can't give you a Lapras redo in Crystal any time soon as it's only recently had its challenge, but how about Lapras in FireRed at the start of December? :)

[@MegamanXV0]

@@Squidgy Sounds like a plan. Whenever you can fit in your schedule

[@Squidgy]

It's already recorded, edited, and uploaded, so we're good to go on December 3rd! :)

Bird supremacy!

[@bigswole2133]

Leader Blue sent out Gyarados... Screen Turns Black.

[@jdsnerdverse]

I don't think I've ever seen that The rival 2 battle I've never seen him come out with a Zubat second. I wonder what causes that ask me something in the game that would make it want to come out second

[@chefgrizz6284]

Any Typhlosion runs coming soon lmao

[@Squidgy]

I have no plans for Typhlosion at the moment.

[@chefgrizz6284]

@@Squidgy the leaks are unfortunate

[@llSuperSnivyll]

Is consistency against Steelix (either that or the two Attack DVs) that crucial to not consider Hidden Power Fighting (which would be better vs Pryce as well as Bruno's Onix) instead of Fire?

[@Squidgy]

Having a 14 DV in Attack was really about as low as we could go for Dodrio; any lower and we'd have had a lot more two-hits and ranges

[@llSuperSnivyll]

@@Squidgy I see.

[@slippy318]

Bird up!

[@veghesther3204]

IMHO this pokemon sucks in EVERY single game.

[@Squidgy]

I'm sorry, but you are objectively wrong. How can a Pokémon suck if it is at the top of the leaderboard?

[@veghesther3204]

ITs Lv up moves IMHO are all crap and its TM/HM moves aren't that great either.

[@ttc3453]

Do you have a discord?

[@ttc3453]

Also you said it so many times I want to say it once I want to see it the last thing you do in Johto is the first thing you do in Kanto

[@Squidgy]

I do have a Discord! If you have your Discord linked to KZbin, it should automatically invite you as a channel member! If it hasn't worked, though, lemme know and I'll drop you an invite link :)

[@ttc3453]

​@@SquidgyI don't know how to connect my Discord to KZbin but I'm going to look it up
