[@djkates1916]

If you're wondering why the Pikachu went first with the X Speed, it's because of how (or, more to the point, when) the AI decides whether to use an item. The AI will always choose a move for its Pokémon. At this point, the AI's action for the turn gets the priority level of the move it chose. Before performing the move, if the AI is of a class that can perform special actions (switching or using an item, or in Agatha's case both) the AI calls the RNG to determine whether it will replace its move for the turn with the appropriate special action; the priority level of the action will not be changed by this. This means that, in most cases, the AI doing a special action will have the same priority as a standard move. However, Surge's Pikachu knows Quick Attack. In this case, the AI must have chosen Quick Attack as its move for that turn, then rolled "use an item instead" on the RNG. End result, X Speed at Quick Attack's priority level.

[@YukeWeiss]

Always someone who knows the answer; curious how move priority is then overwritten by item priority.

[@caritahearts2405]

[@sauerkrautlanguage]

"Luck is a skill" - Wolfe Glick

[@lostnumbr]

when it comes to speedy pokemon crits are fairly predictable and would not be considered luck. especially for any fast pokemon using a high crit chance move, making it guaranteed.

[@HannibalKantter]

I wouldn't count crits as "luck" either. Since there are ton of abilities (Sniper, Super Luck) and moves (Focus Energy, Night Slash, Snipe Shot) dedicated specifically to crits nowadays, making them another part of the game. Also they are one needed way to nerf hard setup sets, that are overall so OP (That's why Baton Pass is banned)

With a 25% chance for X Attack being used and the other 75% evenly reparted to the 3 moves allowed for weezing, you have a 1/4 chance for seldestruct. This also applies for Bruno's machamp. You have a 25% chance for X defend, the other 75% evenly reparted to the 4 moves of Machamp. It makes a 18.75% chance for submission and not 20%.

Hey Jrose. Love your content and your single pokemon playthroughs. If you were looking for another challenge, how about something along the lines of this: -You can use any 3 pokemon from the 10 worst pokemon in terms of stats. -None of these 3 pokemon are allowed to go above level 40 -No items in battle, no glitches (except badge boost) -You can switch pokemon during battle, but only during your move - not when you faint an opponent's pokemon and it asks if you want to switch. Can you beat the Elite Four and Rival using thr above rules?

I feel that while Blastoise have higher defense, Gyarados is almost always a worse threat. Hardest starter in neutral situations should therefore almost always be Bulbasaur, as critical strike razor leaf is terrifying, and you get to fight both Gyarados and Arcanine, which are the two hardest replacements.

[@grammysworld5449]

Hey Jrose there are like 10,000 people making the same content as you but you're the best. Love you.

[@kaptainKrill]

So you said you have a new method for getting regular uploads again. What’s your secret? I Love seeing all these videos, but I know lots of content creators that have needed a break, and would love to share with them how you got back in the saddle again.

[@Jrose11]

I hired an editor

[@kaptainKrill]

Gooooooood call.

[@Livingvapour]

@@Jrose11 that really makes a difference the editing process is what keeps me from ever starting KZbin lol. Keep up the excellent content friend.

[@kaptainKrill]

@@Jrose11 Listening to this tonight, and when you compare with the recordings from the Month of Jrose, there’s a very clear increase in energy in the more recent videos compared to this. I hope that’s reflective of life in general, and not just getting better at faking it. As someone who was also feeling a lot more “meh” half a year ago, I hope this month continues to be a source of joy and energy for you, whether it’s on the channel or in the much more important life you live outside of it. I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before, because I’ve certainly noticed it before. Hopefully that doesn’t come across as me being repetitive. Life is a series of ups and downs, and even if the downs come back, each up is still worth celebrating. (Im saying this here because a direct reply hopefully sends a notification, as opposed to getting drowned out by all of the well-deserved attention your new videos are getting)

Great video! I was really looking forward to a Persian run. I used one in my last Blue playthrough because I really like it and don’t see it getting a lot of love. I was floored when it ended up being my team’s MVP! Was really hoping it would do well here, I’m glad!

[@13JackStorm]

Persian surprised me in Gen 1, pretty decent. Always name it after Anna from Fire Emblem. Pay Day, that is all.

[@OswaldAurelia]

"This one's on the house!!"

"Slashing More Than Prices"

[@DullBoy23]

Thought I couldn't fall asleep but apparently I was just waiting for a new jrose video. Thank you for another one good sir 👍

[@Weroleytor]

I know the gen 1 speed crit thing so I'm pretty sure he should be in the upper half of the list, maybe around 4:30?

[@TheLudicrousLuv]

It made it to 3:28 by the end :J

[@Weroleytor]

@@TheLudicrousLuv Yeah I saw, damn, I knew it was good but not that good, glad to see it tho :D

[@maxiuxoxo]

A gen 1 favourite. Such a beautiful looking Pokémon (obviously the most important factor)- especially with gen 1 sprites

[@paulthompson382]

20:22 made me laugh far more than I care to admit

[@hjelsethak]

Not sure if I've said this on your channel already, but as a cat person I have always loved Persian. This vid was a pleasure to watch. Keep up the great work, Jrose11!

[@YhwachTheAlmighty.]

Actually Bulbasaur for the rival would’ve been the harder starter to pick against, since it resist Bubblebeam and thunderbolt. But then again I guess it really doesn’t matter when you have a crit machine.

[@Raikiri103]

I was thinking that too, wasn't sure if I missed where in the video he explained the Squirtle rationale. I could see Venusaur in the final fight tanking a few Body Slams

[@YhwachTheAlmighty.]

@@Raikiri103 He said “blastoise has better Def”, something along those lines.

[@justinmadrid8712]

Meh, if Gary doesn’t have Venusaur he will have Exeggutor instead.

[@ZeusJuicy2]

Jrose! Thanks for more content, I’m obsessed with your run throughs man. I used to watch a ton of pokemon channels but lately it’s been all you haha thanks for stepping up the frequency 🙏

[@Thutil]

wow Jrose REALLY wasn't kidding about faster release dates, I'm loving it!

[@lordvic8072]

I love the approach you have to these videos, they're so enjoyable to watch! I'd love to see an Arcanine run!

[@madddd1]

Such a rollercoaster, great video. So glad you are back at making videos

[@vrzrea795]

Great, thank you Jrose, I really love your videos and the concept behind them!

[@lildragonbabe13]

Your laughter was so infectious in this vid... every time you laughed at something in the run, I laughed with you

[@victisomega4248]

As a simply fan your naming convention made me chuckle. Thank you for that! Good stuff as always jrose!

[@Jrose11]

You'll be happy with the naming scheme in a few videos haha.

[@OtakuJuanma2]

"You probably wondering how good Persian could possibly be?" Gen 1 competitive scene: how dare you...

[@akapsi7679]

I'm so glad you dropped the intro man. Ofc its just my opinion, but I'm honestly glad you did it.

[@farorewind3379]

I don't even know how many times I've been through this game, and now, in the past few weeks I've been like 30 more times by watching his runs with every pokemon, that's pretty amazing

[@lukegeer4864]

The intro “yo” threw me off and I listened to it at least 4 times. 😂 Great video!

[@timjones2232]

Yo JRose! It's my birthday and you released a video! I've been waiting on you to drop a new one for a while and it being today is perfect. I turn 31 and have listened to all of your challenge videos either at home or driving long distances for work. I love your style and the unfortunately retired Count voice and just wanted to reach out and say thanks for the entertainment the last year. Keep doing what you're doing! If I can throw my 2 cents in for consideration, I'd love to see you take a serious optimized stab at Mewtwo again now that you know the game and mechanics better. Mewtwo is #1 and I would love to see what you could do to give them an updated time. If you do this, please don't forget to battle Erika. Best wishes, Tim

[@Okamiguy]

Always makes me smile seeing a new Jrose video in my feed! Thanks a bunch for the content!
