How Easy Is It To Beat Pokemon Yellow With Only Beedrill?

[@Alex_Off-Beat]

Twineedle is almost always a better move to use than Fury Attack. With STAB, Twineedle is effectively 75BP and has 100% accuracy, Fury Attack would need to do all 5 hits to equal 75BP and only has 85% accuracy. Even if the opponent has a single resistance to Bug there's still a 45% chance that Twineedle does more damage!

[@ezekielrage515]

Yeah I probably would have went with a moveset of Swords Dance, Twin Needle, Hyper Beam, and Mega Drain. While Beedrill doesnt have a very good special, neither do any of the rock types, and all of them except Sandslash, Marowak, and Dugtrio are all 4x weak to grass, instead of base 40 power, Mega Drain ends up being base 160 power

[@dannykrise9721]

I was thinking the same thing. Or at least kept pin missile over fury attack for STAB

[@alexandreberthault9942]

Twineedle is the reason why Beedrill is one of my favorites pokémon in the first generation (I use it every time I play Pokémon Red). The four times effective damages against Grass/Poison types are something very unique in these games, alongside the effectiveness of Poison Sting against Bug types (very useful in Viridian Forest, against bug catchers, and one of the worst nightmares of Parasect lol)

[@InfernosReaper]

Yep, then they removed poison's weakness to bug, but did make dark weak to it for some reason

[@porsche911sbs]

fire and flying pokemon are parasect's worst nightmares

[@paradygmshift7826]

Everyone gives Beedrill a hard time but he's actually pretty good in gen 1. Bug was a good typing for a lot of battles in the game, it wrecks the middle gyms and Team Rocket.

[@jakerockznoodles]

Yeah, they did a dirty on the gen 1 bug types by making bug ineffective against poison for all the later games.

[@SilverZephyrFalcon]

Twinneedle is such an underrated move. Gen 1 it's super effective against Poison as well as the normal Grass and Psychic types, so that's 3 gyms and most Rockets covered. And it can also poison. Fun fact: in Gen 2, it can poison Steel types, since it isn't a Poison-type move. I think they fixed it in either Gen 3 or 4.

[@vwts]

Was playing a poison-monotype Let’s Go for a change (actually an enjoyable game if you ditch your starter) and Beedrill was quite effective in the early game, as it’s attack is high for that point and Twineedle is so good (as are Poison Jab and Brick Break, to which it gets access early on). The thing did become useless in the latter half of the game though, everything else had better Attack and could take more punishment, and almost nothing was weak against bug or poison

The lass after brock kept using sand attack bc beedrill is poison. Gen 1 AI automatically uses super effective moves even though it isn't an attacking move. Same thing happens in runs with lances dragon airs and agility (not that far in this one yet idk if that happens but I would assume so)

[@grantcox2438]

That would make sense if it were a ground type move, but it’s a normal type move.

[@andersonantunesdeleu8591]

Beedrill is far one of the greatest to do a solo run! It can learn swords dance, that really makes easy the game afterwards! Maybe you could have taught it the move swords dance, Scott, I saw in other run with Beedrill beating the game at level 67, all because of swords dance! But no matters, I like to see different attempts! It was fun, really! Thank you, Scott!

[@bitterzombie]

Twinneedles power is always impressive early game. Bug type is actually so good in gen 1, being super effective against both psychic and poison types, that it kind of feels like prior to release they went back and nerfed the power of bug moves and the stats of bug pokemon so that they would peak early and not get better options later

Lickitung (or Crabby) run is cool since they can learn all 3 HM’s needed to beat the game. You can beat the game with a Pokédex of one!

[@yokoelf1293]

It's mind-blowing to see Psychic types consistently taking super-effective hits on Gen I. I think this is only possible using Beedril, since Jolteon only learns Pin Missile very late and no one's gonna use it. Anyway it's very satisfying to watch the SE hits, Psychic types by default are a pain in the ass on these games, so Beedril gets this merit.

I forgot about Leech Life, but with only 20BP, even a STAB SE hit only reaches 60BP... i.e. the same BP of a Rattata using Tackle. Not really a "super effective" move.

5:10 actually there are 2 "bugs" here. 1st is the one you said, that Bug moves are Super effective against Poison. However, those are also resisted by Flying pokemon (which Zubat is). This is when the other "bug" cames in. It's just a display bug, it doesn't affect the fight, but when a pokemon that has dual types, one that is resistent and one that is weak against a move, it will wrongly display that it was "Super effective" or "Not very effective" even if it has neutral damage. The message displayed depends on the first type of the foe: in that case, Zubat is POISON/Flying, so it will say Super Effective. A different example would be a Nidoking hit by a Grass move. Nidoking is Poison/Ground, which gets neutral damage from Grass moves, but Gen 1 games will say "Not very effective" because the first type (Poison) is resistent to Grass moves :)

In regards to Twineedle doing decent damage against Brock's Pokemon, apparently, Rock (and Ground for that matter) does NOT resist Bug. Just found this out, I'm as shocked as you are.
