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

[@WhimsicottFanatic]

2:20 - Reading up on Bulbapedia, it basically was because of the Confuse Ray "Additionally, if the opponent does not use an attack that misses, the last amount of damage done will not be reset, effectively resulting in damage done during the previous turn also being counted as damage done during that turn." Meaning that when you used Confuse Ray, instead of adding 0 to the stored damage like it should since, y'know, you didn't deal any actual damage, it instead repeated the last amount obtained: The 9 from Night Shade Thus, Bide had stored 18 and did 36 as a result

I'm very interested in how a Snorlax run would turn out. It starts out with amnesia at level 1, so once you beat Brock you have a move that increases both your attack AND special due to the badge boost glitch. Could make for a very fun run.

[@cubedmelons876]

I tried it, and was murdered by Brock at minimum battles. Plus, Snorlax is more of a wall than a sweeper normally, so while I think he'd get through a lot of battles on the first try, I'm not sure how fast he would be.

[@TheBlueWizzrobe]

@@cubedmelons876 I definitely don't think he'll be anywhere near the fastest, mostly due to his terrible speed stat, but I just think it would be a fun run regardless. That said, I'm surprised Snorlax had that rough of a time with brock. It starts off with headbutt, which even despite not being very effective, is a decently powerful STAB move, and I feel like rest should let you stall them out pretty well even if it might be agonizingly slow.

[@cubedmelons876]

Great run. By the way, you've uncovered the Gen 1 Bide Glitch. ANY time a non-accuracy action is taken while under Bide from EITHER side, it doubles the Bide counter.

[@guts8952]

So bide is one of the best moves against Agatha?

[@blah9500]

For the bide confusion at 2:20, this is taken from bulbapedia: “The damage received during the period is counted as equal to the last amount of damage done. The last amount of damage done will include crash damage, an opponent's self-inflicted confusion damage, and the full damage absorbed by a substitute. Additionally, if the opponent does not use an attack that misses, the last amount of damage done will not be reset, effectively resulting in damage done during the previous turn also being counted as damage done during that turn.”

[@MsCravenMoorehead]

So, you're saying: * 9 damage done * Confuse ray missed (another 9 dmg calc'd) * Bide returns 2x (9+9) // 36dmg?

[@blah9500]

Essentially that initial night shade will count for every turn when the “last damage done” is not reset”. So i guess the optimal strategy once he had already used bide prior to your night shade, would be to use lick? Or at least use lick once, then confuse ray. That way the most recent damage would be from lick, and then you can confuse it. This weird status of the last damage dealt causes a lotttttt of fun stuff with counter as well. Counter can even counter itself. You can counter hyper beam during its recharge turn if you outspeed, etc. Something fun to do if you have, say a chansey vs a tauros (any faster hyper beam user really). Use thunderwave to paralyze it on the same turn it uses hyper beam, then use counter. Heres another dumb, but unrelated mechanic. If a pokemon that has yet to recharge is target by a sleep move, it is put to sleep no matter what. As in the accuracy check is bypassed, and its current status is overridden. Using the same example above, paralyze the opponent on the same turn hyper beam is used against you. Then use sing, and tauros will be put to sleep, even though it was paralyzed. This is risky though because it gets rid of the recharge, meaning tauros will be ready to attack next turn if it gets a first-turn wake. HOWEVER, thanks to more gen 1 fun, the tauros will still be slower because the paralysis speed drop persists until status healing item is used on it or it switches out. Ok sorry, done ranting :p

Onix KO'ing Gengar with Bide was baffling, and there isn't anything on Bulbapedia that indicates Bide should have done more than 18 damage since Onix didn't hurt itself in confusion. My only guess is the game somehow treated the confusion check as the last damage dealt, and since the game rolls a number between 0 and 255 for checks, it could have very well picked a number higher than 14, meaning it would have done at least 30 damage, and possibly up to 510.

My favourite pokemon since when i was a kid, my family were not well-off, so when my aunt showed up with a gameboy, it filled my childhood with unforgettable memories. And gengar is one of the main character in those memories, as he helped me made friendships that still last til this day. Thank-you for allowing me to re live these moments and best of luck to you in these trying times!

[@backonpro5679]

Jrose11 if you see this can you beat pokemon ultra sun/moon with only wingull? I think it will be a fun challenge and the necrozma fight will be hillarious. Love the videos btw. the time you put into these challenges is insane.

[@BDCS17]

I love the rush back into the Count voice upon the critical hit on machamp. Like he got caught leaving on an encore

[@LuSoloLu]

I honestly would like to see a Tauros solo run considering that in competitive is, besides Mewtwo and Mew, the best mon in the game

[@galararticuno9419]

It's level up moves suck though. Tauros is good in competitive because it's fast and wins almost all 1v1s but it's frail and won't be sweeping whole teams with ease

[@LuSoloLu]

@@galararticuno9419 Although I do agree that it level up moves suck, I don't think it's frail. Jrose has worked with waaay worst mons and I believe that with Body Slam and Hyperbeam Tauros is capable of destroying teams (Agatha will be hard, though)

[@galararticuno9419]

@@LuSoloLu Agatha shouldn't be that hard Tauros gets Earthquake. Blizzard for Lance too. I'm sure it is decent but the beginning is going to drag it down and Hyper Beam will require a bunch of healing items. Not having any super effective + stab opportunities means it's not going to be okhoing much either.

[@IMPHLAmaste]

Came here to suggest the same thing, would be fun seeing a Tauros run.

[@GrayLanternPPA]

Great video! I like how you've expanded to about all of gen 1 mons. Speaking of which, I know you've said a Weedle challenge is unlikely, but what about a Kakuna challenge? Harden would let you exploit the badge boost glitch. It'd still be an uphill battle, but you'd at least have that one more tool than with Weedle.

[@nemohimself2580]

Problem is that Kakuna (and Metapod) can *only* learn harden, so they would need to keep only 6 uses of harden for badge boost, then struggle to victory.

[@waqashaha]

Been waiting for this since the announcement on the stream yesterday. Honestly I enjoy the strong pokemon runs along with the impossible challenges

*Video is only 28 minutes long* Me: Oh, he's going back to the old style of editing with only showing the Elite Four wins. Elite Four: Ummmmmmm... About that...

[@mayborneflower]

1:59 - I learned about this while doing a Rivals vs Gym Leaders thing over on Pokémon Showdown (which perfectly retains most of the Gen I glitches faithfully). I was that whole thing for... personal reasons. What you suffered from against Onix was the Damage Duplication Glitch. There’s apparently several circumstances and applications for it, but the big claim to fame involves Bide. The long and short of it is that if you get hit on the first turn of Bide but not the second turn, the damage from the first turn is registered a second time in spite of no additional damage being sustained. So you did 9 damage turn one, it got counted twice for a total of 18 damage, and then Bide released energy to double the power to an accumulated 36 HP when you were capped at 31 HP. If you find yourself in that situation again, just attack again with a weaker move because you’re gonna be punished for two turns of attacking either way. Just cut your losses and pray.

[@Eledar95]

I actually think, about the Onix kill, that he deals double damage with bide. So double of HIS level. But still, it's 28. Not 29. So why?

[@zeroblade8]

That doesn’t make sense. Bide does damage in accordance with the damage you take, it has nothing to do with level, even in Gen 1

[@tylerlarsen1842]

Turns out that Bide has a quirk where if you use a move that doesn't miss but deals no damage, it'll add the damage done the PREVIOUS turn. So, Gengar did 9 damage with Night Shade the first turn, then used Confuse Ray the second turn. We double the damage from the Night Shade and add that to Bide's power, and then add that again because of the Confuse Ray.

[@MH_0015]

So it's just Gen 1 being Gen 1? Sounds normal to me.

[@Eledar95]

@@tylerlarsen1842 thank you for the explanation. Just gen 1 things

[@Aelfraed26]

Why can Gengar learn Thunderbolt but not Ice Beam?

[@galararticuno9419]

Idk it gets Mega Drain though

[@soap93160]

Do Clefable. It learns metronome, which helps against Brock in the beginning, levels up incredibly fast and has an amazing movepool of Body Slam, Thunderbolt, Blizzard, Ice Beam, Minimize etc. I did a run of Clefable and ended at about 3:30 (and I'm not experienced at speed runs) so I'm sure that Jrose could do it even quicker, possibly even beating Mewtwo.

[@bluestar2059]

Out of curiosity, as you've done a fair few of these now, do you think you could do some of these runs faster with better planning? Like, is there any of these you look at and think "I could shave a few minutes off that" if you did it a second time?

[@HECKproductions]

bide and nightshade ignore type immunity but struggle does not... that is really really stupid
