[@paulmann8570]

I remember doing a run with Horsea. Technically it can be done on Minimum Battles, but the Bide luck needed for Rival 2, the Oddish Lass, and Misty is what makes it not fun. Once it got Agility, that was when the fun began.

A sort of clutch win, and perfectly hitting that level 69 at the very end.

[@Peelster1]

On the topic of using Lapras as the Surf pokemon: For runs that you have trouble beating Rival Fival, and don't have a pokemon that learns Surf, getting the Celadon City Eevee and evolving it to Vaporeon to teach it Surf could be an option to get more EXP. Helpful especially for when the solo run is a Grass-type or Electric-type as the Swimmers are a very easy source of EXP. Probably a bit late in the series to employ that as a new strategy as I don't know how many earlier pokemon that would have helped.

[@raineob4996]

Always fun when the obscure Pokemon get some love! Having a Pokemon with essentially only Water and Ice moves is wild.

[@Odd_Taxi_epi04]

It had a psychic move as well and psychic is the best move type in Red and Blue (repeat after me, badge boost glitch) XD

"Within the top 10, 6 Pokémon right now are of the water type." If you're referring to the list shown, it's actually 7. Maybe it's easy to forget Omanyte is Rock/Water. Or maybe you meant the top 10 post-Gastly.

[@Jrose11]

I think I meant post Gastly or miscounted

[@parzival-bo]

Either way it's 7; Poliwag, Tentacool, Staryu, Horsea, Omanyte, Krabby, and Slowpoke are all within the Top 10.

[@3eve0n]

"how bad of a move is bubble ACTUALLY?" oh whoops wrong channel

[@martinlehmann3134]

Another reason why (mono) water types are so strong in gen 1 is that water is a special type that is only weak to other special types (electric and grass). They get a high special stat, which covers both attack and defense in gen 1, so they don't really have any big weaknesses - so they end up tanking a lot of hits compared to other types. (Also, there's a LOT of water types, so they're kinda bound to be overrepresented.)

[@roamingnyiad]

So Horsea did quite well for itself despite some hiccups and ends on a "nice" number level-wise, lol. Anyway, good to see how this went. Wonder if Seadra would be even better or not.

[@ForeverLaxx]

"Forgot to use Amnesia" >mimic'd Growl instead of Amnesia, which is the real reason you didn't use Amnesia Yeah. Okay.

[@adambermingham737]

I stared watching these about a year ago and they genuinely rekindled my love for pokemon- so much so I went out and bought a switch to play shining pearl and then a randomiser rom on my phone to play emerald run throughs with my own challenges- I'm 30 years old and I haven't enjoyed gaming this much in a while! Thanks for then great content 😁

[@RossSpeirs]

How often is Blaine the 4th gym leader?! What a funny order with Horseas situation.

[@joeldixton5627]

I wonder if for ice beam coverage the correct rival pick for water types is squirtle? You'd have had to rely on the gyara freeze if you were facing blastoise at the champion for example

[@jacksonskinner7879]

[@lemeres2478]

Summary- Decent-ish stats and water moves. Brock was easy... but this run has Misty and rival 2 as a roadblock instead. It just doesn't have much besides basic water move progression and some annoying stuff like bide and smokescreen. The only real upgrade it ever gets is ice beam.

[@jorgehuertas3995]

Mimic and surf, you've won the game

[@perkypenguin1663]

I'm impressed by how well Horsea did, in spite of its shortcomings in the early game! I wonder if Rest would've helped against the Jr. Trainer with two Oddish and two Bellsprout, but even so I can't imagine she'd be easy. Regardless, it was cool seeing one of these live and I've love to tune in to another one (maybe Kadabra live on Twitch someday?)
