How Fast can you Beat Pokemon Red/Blue with Just a Dragonite?

It has some of the best stats in the game, including the best attack. Does that mean it will be the best? Only one way to find out!

[@youtube-kit9450]

Pokés that just start with a normal attack (non-stab) or worse just run into a Brock-Wall for like an hour, unless you can make it up later like Mew because of an insane movepool, it's just brutal. Hence why gamefreak used rock for the first 3 of 4 gyms, and fire/fighting for 3 - rock is the perfect "first gym" type if you give the fire starter metal claw or a fighting move. Everyone early game poké has jack shit to deal with it, but the starters will sweep through it. Makes rock pokémon look way more intimidating. Like, Onix is legendarily garbage and only impressive exactly as Brock's ace because it's high-level for that point in the game and then its defence which makes up nearly half its BST means something. Now imagine GF learned their lesson and stopped making the ice gym 7th or higher every gen since it also would be a wonderful early gym with its glass cannon nature when not everyone and their mom has an answer to them.

I mean, Dragonite has worse stats than Mew (same base stat total but *much* slower, the attack isn’t the most important, and less bulk for what it’s worth), a worse experience group, and a worse movepool, though they both have poor starting moves. *And* no STAB, so arguably worse typing too. I’m not sure why it was even considered as a contender to beat Mewtwo, though it’s 100% a cool run to see!

[@Redpoppy80]

Same. Dragonite is OK but for a Pseudo Legendary, Dragonite sucks. I used a Dragonite a lot in Pokemon Stadium and while it had the best Atk stat, the lack of ANY good moves for it meant that you were forced to wait until it learned Hyper Beam or just treat it as a Special Sweeper. Unless you wanted to cheese with Wrap as Dragonite was the best trapper in the Gen though I was never patient enough for such a slow strategy.

"Putting such a powerful move so early in the game is something they wouldn't do in modern Pokémon games." TR rewards from raid dens in Sword and Shield would like to know your location.

[@zeaferjones1404]

The thing is as great as Body Slam is its not that much better than cut so I feel you have to reward someone a little bit for finding it. If I'm not mistaken you actually get mega punch much quicker.

[@MasterZenII]

@@zeaferjones1404 Fairly decent point. But I was still making a funny. TRs in Sword and Shield was just rediculous.

I think dratini's bad luck carried over for the elite 4. Good vid, and happy christmas!

This channel is a mixture of nostalgia, never ending fun from these amazing video games, and the coolness of Jrose that makes it all.

[@hiddenpowervalleyranch4545]

I enjoy that you switched from making them bonus videos to making them part of the series. Those this mean that you'll eventually do every pokemon that can be solo runned in Gen 1? That would be a fun couple of days to binge watch when completed.

You're the only person I've ever heard of who says "Laura Lee" for Lorelei.

Loaura lee Like urora lee

[@BingtheLizard]

@@swampy725 Except the name Lorelei is Germanic in origin, so the "ei" is therefore pronounced the same as in Einstein. The correct pronunciation sounds like "law-rel-eye".

[@DavidStevenson2009]

I'm curious how Snorlax would do. Might not be the fastest, especially since it doesn't learn another move until level 35, but it would be a different kind of run. Maybe its vast TM/HM moveset would give it an advantage?

[@iRazenrak]

bruno would always defeat it

[@iRazenrak]

@Viking machamp has submission though, right? Unless he maxes out with badge boost glitch, snorlax would fall to that.

[@BigSlimyBlob]

The Kabigon run has happened since then. Bruno was very easy, every single one of his pokémon were one-shot with Ice Beam.

[@EggOfNobleArms]

"Not something they would do in modern Pokemon" Raids in gen 8 give powerful TRs regardless of how difficult the raids are.

[@RosyKitteh]

"Raids"? what's going on in Gen 8 that we have raids. I have never played a game outside of gen 1, 2, 3, and 6

[@roccopiosaracino3681]

@@RosyKitteh there's a new mechanic called dynamax, basically a pokemon becomes huge and his moves get a power boost, there's raids where you can fight those pokemon to gain exp and instruments

[@Xapheion101]

@@RosyKitteh play 4/5 they are by far the best the series has to offer. But to answer your question there are giant building sized Pokémon that you fight 4 on 1. Not as interesting as it sounds just YT Pokémon raid battles.

Jrose: everybody has been requesting dragonite in my comments Everybody: we aint tho, we asking for starmie

[@OmegaTyrant]

@Claude Von Riegan Best starter against Starmie is Venusaur; Blastoise can't do shit to Starmie while Starmie learns Thunderbolt, while Venusaur can be hit by Psychic but if it's not OHKO'd it'll actually deal serious damage back, including being able to bypass badge boosts with Razor Leaf.

[@kaathesacolyte2943]

My personal pick is Dugtrio; starts off with a 100 base power ground move in dig, has a 100% chance to crit with slash and can learn body slam and rock slide. With dig it breezes past brock, Misty might give some trouble but you could always do the rival and nuggest bridge first, Surge is a joke as is Koga. By the time you get around to Ericka it should have Slash which will deal with some of the grass Pokemon. Sabrina isn't an issue with Dugtrio's speed and Blane also becomes a joke. Giovanni will be easy and then it gets Earthquake. Earthquake mops up Loreli, Bruno and Agatha. Lance is a bit trickier but hopefully a crit slash should be enough to deal with gyarados.

[@OmegaTyrant]

​@Claude Von Riegan Except again, Blastoise can't do anything to Starmie, all it gets are crappy Normal moves or moves that are resisted by Starmie on top of having mediocre Special, while Venusaur can actually kill a healthy Starmie if it isn't OHKO'd. Venusaur's Special is also higher than Blastoise's in Gen 1, so a STAB Psychic isn't doing that much more damage to it than Thunderbolt is to Blastoise, both should be either getting 2HKO'd or OHKO'd after badge boosts. Plus there are multiple Rival battles earlier in the game before Starmie can get Psychic (Starmie can't get Psychic until you get the TM, and Starmie won't learn any other Psychic-type moves before then).

[@nomercyforswine]

The fact that you picked the gameboy colors to try and make it look like the modern Dragonite colors. We see the little details you put into these vidoes, Mr. Jrose11, and that's what makes this channel top-quality. Keep up the great work man, seriously.
