Maractus finally got an evolution | Elite Redux 2.5

[@Stairwayafter]

Politoed learns brine which is super effective on water types! Damp!

[@cocokill3048]

- Some evolutions are yet to be added in the game and some may be accepted in the future. Same for Megas, new forms etc... - Ceruledge around 2.0 was one of the most broken mons in the game. Moxie was a innate along Dual Wield and Battle Armor. Most people never tried to run Sweeping Edge or Merciless as a ability because his last one was far more broken combined with his innates... Speed Boost. - You can explore all of Fiery Path. The only thing you can't do in it RN is a fight for a Mega.

[@Ironman-uu4zu]

And iirc, Armarouge was also just as broken, because it had Contrary before they both got nerfed in 2.5

[@sariix2656]

Been enjoying the series! Fearow is gross when it gets Sky Attack. Two turn moves can go instant, and it gets an attack boost for using the move, then attacks, it just sweeps haha

[@besttitanosaurus7742]

Ominous Wind becomes base 120 power under fog, if you want a really explosive attack for Exploud.

[@bluntizard4481]

Ghostly Echo would combo amazingly well into Red Texan's guaranteed crits

[@rallivsalado6806]

I'd say that for Redux Infernape Blitz Boxer is better since it's Gale Wings but for punching moves.

[@HoodlumCallum]

flip turn tho

[@coffeemug1012]

@@HoodlumCallum on the topic of infernape one inch punch is move what is both punching for iron fist and non contact for long reach, + it has high crit rate and higher bp than drain punch

[@rallivsalado6806]

@@HoodlumCallum I guess that's fair

[@zombifiedsquid]

Keep up the great videos Cal. Loving this series. Anyway you’d name a Pokemon Squid?

18:42 There was a video on Subjectively where someone actually made a really cool Grumpig redesign (I wanna say Truegreen made it? It was a guest vid.), and I would actually consider using a Grumpig if it looked as nice as that one. (Update: Truegreen was in the video, but it was Jack from Subjectively that made the redesign.) Maxie's team... I'm not really feeling it the way I was feeling Archie's team. Like, Archie had a distinct pirate/seafaring theme going on with his new team, so you'd think Maxie would have more of a scientist or geologist theme. I admit, that's probably hard to do for him, but Naganadel and Camerupt aside, that's kinda all he gets. He doesn't really have a defined theme like Archie does. Crobat, I understand, since he had it in the original, and it does get Fire Fang to take advantage of the sun. Hydreigon doesn't seem to fit. I would say, for a Dark-type, Houndoom was right there (also would've been a better wolf replacement for Mightyena); but Krookodile would've worked too since 1) Ground-type, and 2) it's got "glasses." Magnezone would've worked as a Water counter, and because scientists love using the Magnemite line; although, Heliomodo might even fit him better. Espeon gets access to Fire attacks in this game, it's literally the "sun Pokémon," and Psychic is still frequently depicted as the "smart people" type. Scovillain would've been perfect; it gets Water Absorb, is part Fire, gets two sun abilities, and it literally has "villain" in the name. Doesn't get more on-the-nose than that. Could've even gone with more of a "landform" theme with Torterra, Tortemple, Redux Escarginite, or even H-Avalugg. Golurk could also work as Ghost coverage, and also for being a Ground-tyoe and just looking really imposing; also has kind of an "ancient tech" thing going on with it. So, personally, my final team for him would've been Camerupt, Houndoom, R-Escarginite, Golurk, Magnezone, and H-Avalugg. Just feels like there was so much wasted potential with Maxie's team. Maybe that's just me, but IDK.

[@Brogie_21]

idk if you'd be interested, but it would be really cool if you did some videos highlighting your favorite fakemons and changes romhacks have made to vanilla mons. It could be designs, or mechanics, or whatever. You've just played so many rom hacks over the years it'd be cool to see your favorites, I tend to like a lot of the same designs you do

[@Pruhbruh_]

Recommend trying Garbodor he was doing pretty well for me for awhile, I run them max attack max hp assault vest and they beat a surprisingly large number of Pokémon when I lead with them, just make sure you have a ground immunity on the team

[@AlizarinRed]

Damn, the Charcadet line is still done dirty with the shiny colors in this.

[@zachbisson8623]

Really happy we are up to 20 daily uploads! This is some quality content to look forward to everyday after work! I need to watch another FFA sometime soon because they’re so good at times! (If picked name it Bison)

[@XiaVods]

I'm excited for when you get mega evos since i feel like its going to open the game up massively, kinda glad theres no z moves or other gimmicks like in rad red since it'd be too overwhelming

[@bulbaboy01]

20 parts in and it’s finally time to take on Flannery, let’s go!

[@alexplaster9358]

Still keep up the daily updates into the new year? You love to see it. I only have time for one KZbin series rn and this is my go to. Thanks Cal

[@megalayla]

Wake up besties New Elite Redux episode

[@NottaLamp]

Mystery dungeon reference?! I feel like replaying Explorers of Sky now

[@KrizzlerYT]

You should use the Mightyena evolution. It's a decent revenge killer and if it doesn't get chipped and stays at 100%, it gets priority on Dark Moves (Crunch and Rip&Tear).

[@Colaconnoisseur]

Love that Maractus is finally getting some love lol, also Redix Floatzels evo is so gas feel like it’d be fun to use

[@whobox8145]

Always sit down and watch the upload as soon as I get off work!

[@mkonin14]

I love this game so every morning I look forward to seeing these vids❤

[@Ofandorah]

Ohhhh new mightyena evo? I'm definitely gonna have to check that out in my run. Mightyena is one of my long time favourites and that evo looks so cool! I know what I'll be doing this weekend haha

[@Oxman7077]

Im currently using it fornmy current run andnits been handling things well ^_^

[@tylerbartlett28]

Had the vid playing In the background, went to comment section and saw this just when he said it

[@pix0218]

Hoping to see redux Reuniclus take on Flannery! Love seeing my favorite Pokémon get a redux form that is so unique!

[@saeris2471]

Wait til you run into a Kecleong.... That thing is busted af.

[@coffeemug1012]

tbf it's made as a joke mon and not for the player to get

[@ksawerx9277]

I find it really funny that when I decided to play this game, I went with an encounter randomizer, and the starter I got was maractus (one of my favorite mons I never get to use), it was also shiny on the first try (1/5 but still), and it kinda sucks without the evolution. At least I get to see the evolution here a bit early.

[@TheMusicalOtaku01]

There are no perfect pokemon, really. Toxtricity-RF still has to run scarf to be as effective as you are using it, so if you're just using electric or ghost moves all the time, then simply switching to a type immunity or soundproof mon will counter it. Plus, the mega evolution may have more damage, but does not allow you to keep the speed.

[@viviantorchwick5726]

Honestly hoping I speak for many of us viewers when I say, we don't mind you cleaning house with a single Pokémon like Toxtricity so long as you're having fun with it yourself.

[@makosa323]

omg im a charcadet lets goooooooooooo

*22:46* alas, conductot is a vega only evo for chatot...

[@TokenDeathmage]

Holy shit bro 😂 slowking wastes your PP caught me off guard in the morning

[@drax1526]

You absolutely can have multiple megas. In fact, you can mega outside of battle and have a full party of mega mons AND STILL THROW ITEMS ON THEM

[@DanDragonTamer]

I'm happy to hear that FFAs are coming back, they were always a blast to watch

[@Hugelag]

Yes... *YES!* MY BOY!

[@BuckysKnifeFlip]

Definitely using that Mega Camerupt now for a mono fire team. Completely negates its water weakness.

[@jaymehaswow]

I'm doing a Randomize run of this. I've got a Ceruledge that got randomized ability Triage. Mega broken 😂

[@Khristolfhur]

These damn lvl caps. I'm looking forward to the FFAs on hoodcal again. I sometimes go back and re-watch them

[@priyanshu.2613]

I hope this game does flygon some justice

[@coffeemug1012]

honestly it's surprising seeing you get so much use out of redux toxtricity since when i was nuzlocking the game i kind of considered it a box until you get the mega type of Pokémon, since it's not the fastest and other Pokémon hit harder

[@danviferahr1426]

If you read this on time, talk to your dad before you fight the gym trainers

One of the Sawsbucks got hit by damp

[@liamdecareau5454]

You need to get a Skulberus, it's definitely a big carry in my run!

[@zachbisson8623]

Is the double mega evolving based on you get a mega Evo and a mega Evo X? Or is it just a trainer exclusive thing?

[@paposfarm]

Spidops is so goated

[@ninjasanin500]

Pretty sure you can also use multiple megas... Just need to keep in mind that they'll be stuck holding their mega stones(unless u picked that specific option at the start which I'm pretty sure you didn't haha)

[@Pruhbruh_]

Also you can always turn on perma megas anytime if you have the dev options (dev menu)

[@christianbird7414]

dont sleep on fearow, its get accelerate and ambush meaning it OHKOs most mons. Aside from sash users lol
