First, you should get an Arkoos shirt or hoodie at mandjtvmerch.com/ because that would make me happy Second, this **might** be the final episode of this series. I know there is a lot of post-game stuff, which I am recording in case I decide to make one more video with all of it. However to truly complete the postgame, you have to complete the entire dex, a process that will take me quite some time that I'm unwilling to rush. I don't know if enough people will still be interested in a vanilla series of this game weeks from now, so I'll be playing it by ear.

7:47 Hitboxes Mikey. Hitboxes. Despite its large size, Avalugg has the same hitbox as every other noble. When you threw the Pokeball, it phased through because the model is bigger than the hitbox, which was to your right. You can instantly make sure you hit the hitbox by clicking the ZL button to focus on where you can hit it. Also something funny, in every single noble fight, if you open your satchel, the battle straight up pauses as long as you are in it. I exploited this by taking my sweet time healing my 'Mons before I resumed the battle. And also, to calm my stress.

[@avatle]

Avalugg has an issue with its fight where sending out your Pokémon doesn’t work. You need to throw your Pokémon at the edge of the cliff so they actually land on the ground. If you throw your Pokémon at Avalugg itself, it’ll be treated as if you threw them off the cliff and won’t start the battle.

[@MEweedle]

I think it's because avalugg is so big, the ball Michael threw got too far away from him, so the battle didn't start.

[@Moleoflands]

I think he was too slow in throwing out the pokemon

[@dracos0024]

I threw my Pokémon at Avalugg and never had this problem. The issue is that you actually have to hit the head from the front, not from the side.

For all we know, some member of the Galaxy Expedition Team from Galar might have brought with them that armor and decided to either gift it as a thanks for being accepted or loan it to Kamado because, you know, it was going up against probably the equivalent of a god. Heck, why wouldn't Kamado talk about Galar more than a quick note about its armor's origin if he was actually Galarian? And why would more than one localization team put Johto references in his dialogues, especially in those immediately following frenzied Dialga/Palkia's appearance (where, since he was on the verge of panicking [considering the English localization literally made him say "Book it!], it would only make sense for him to talk about familiar places if it had to bring up other locations)? Also, Beni is a ninja, and the Mahogany Rocket Hideout has been explicitly said to be a former ninja hideout, further connecting these two's backstory to Johto (especially with the ninja/armored warrior [samurai] parallel that call back to the old Japanese history that characterises Johto so much)

ive been stuck on this fight since the day you commented this. you have no idea how much i want to throw that clinically insane half-baked moulding stalk of hisuian cauliflower off mount coronet all id need to do is get a machamp and itd send him flying but NO I have to pokemon battle it. and its giratina. and its spare giratina.

@@evanswhite5961 Teach Origin Palkia Draco Meteor, keep Max Reviving it while spamming Draco Meteor on Giratina, and use the rest of your team as fodder. That's how I did it anyway.

[@MarcusMapua]

Looking at the choices of which Legend to get first, Palkia might definitely be a good 1st choice based on their typing & movesets: Palkia has an advantage over Dialga since both know Earth Power, which gives Dialga a disadvantage being a Steel-type against a Ground type attack

[@datura7040]

I chose Adaman on my playthrough so I'm glad he chose Irida. I've been interested in seeing Dialga's origin form

[@THGMR-ox7sd]

No one likes either of their origin forms. Giratina is still cooler (somehow, not that I don’t like it because I actually love origin giratina, but I wanna dissect the human brain because I don’t get why 0 people like the new forms. I think mega evolutions look just as atrocious and yet here we are complaining about choking dialga and horse palkia)

[@datura7040]

@@THGMR-ox7sd Personally, I quite liked the origin forms. They were interesting and gave them a unique appearance that tied them more closely with Arceus. But to each their own. Not everyone is going to like to new forms and there is nothing wrong with that

[@cricrivi]

24:34 , no need to thank me! XD

[@Conorator]

The reason the battle didn't start during the Avalugg fight is because you held the trigger for less than a second, which made you undershoot.

[@CGammer101]

When Kamando says: "Can you prove to me, beyond a doubt, that (insirt name here) is innocent?" I would reply with, "Can you prove to ME, beyond a doubt, that I am guilty?!" I didn't think of this on the spot, I think I thought of it in a shower.

Don't forget that how the turn system works in this game 90% of the time in a trainer battle that you defeat a Pokemon his next pokemon will attack you before you can do anything.

[@rodrigoortiz7501]

I have kind of a theory on the potato mochi guy and Kamado... It's clearly stated that they are from another place and that a pokemon destroyed their entire town. However the words used are "burned to the ground" which means that the pokemon that did it was either a fire type or at least associated with fire or lava. Since the mochi guy is clearly Wally's ancestor, I think it's possible that his home was originaly Hoenn. Now, what's a Hoenn pokemon that can easly destroy or burn everything and terrify everyone to the point of making them repeat "pokemon are terrifying creatures" over and over? Quite possibly Groudon.

[@refinedorc2870]

Not a bad theory. Very easily could be Groudon out of control. Legends: Rayquaza confirmed? Lol

[@calebmaartense3969]

I watched John do the Snowpoint temple the other day. He ended up confusing the rock and steel symbols. Needless to say his confusion was very fun to watch.

[@cookiebop8146]

when you choose irida the final bossfight is against dialga and vise versa if you choose adaman. It doesn't end up making a difference as you end up with both pokémon in your party, and you can use the origin forms of both of them. Both of the bossfights are exactly the same though so it doesn't really matter at all who you choose.

[@MaxWelton]

This was the only boss I died to because I kept forgetting when Dialga transitioned from pink circles of death to the Lurantis Disc Attack.

[@skylerpatrick23]

The "glitch" with Avalugg can easily be explained. Yes, the first throw was very likely a bug, but the second throw just missed, and then for the following throws, after a boss starts attacking again, you cannot enter a battle with it, meaning you can only throw Balms until it gets stunned again

[@Sailor_Enchantix]

When fighting Avalugg you have to throw your poké ball in front of it to initiate the battle, otherwise the ball just flies back to you.

[@stoptheohiomemes]

[@dracos0024]

Easier than Kleavor and Liligant?

[@lianaverwood9810]

Avalugg can be as easy as Kleavor, if you understand its very predictable attack pattern. You're even given the hint by the Warden that using the Invincibility Frames of your Dodge will make this seemingly insurmountable foe relatively easy!

[@foamdome2236]

Throughout my time playing this game I enjoyed the avelugg fight because it really puts you to the test... I also got 2 full odds shinys which are a golbat and glalie which shocked me

[@RodimusMinor1987]

I found a Mantyke a Roselia and a Buizel

[@theresagrawe7053]

To be honest I found the avalugg battle to be the easiest cuz hear me out the attack pattern is the most straight forward from them all avalugg does not move to you it stays in one spot thus limiting it's attacks kinda with the other nobles they are more unpredictable I think since they move around the battle field freely the arcanine dashing at you the electrode following you The most challenging ones to me where arcanine and God itself all the others I managed to do first try on my second run arcanine was also a piece of cake and I beat it first try but only because I beat it before and now know its pattern better
