How FAST can you beat Pokemon Red/Blue with just a Poliwhirl?

I'm a Poliwhirl in a.... Poli..world?

Complete Playlist: • Kanto Solo Challenges
Rules and Explanations
Rules: (1) Only use the one Pokémon in Battle, others for HMs are fine. (2) No Items in battle (3) No Glitches* (4) Set Mode (5) No saving in the Elite Four (6) No evasion moves
Badge Boost "Glitch" Explanation: When you collect odd numbered badges the game boosts a stat by 12.5%. Brock gives ATK, Surge DEF, Koga SPE, and Blaine SPC (in game text is wrong). When any of your stats are modified (even by you using a move like Withdraw, or your opponent using Leer) the badge boosts are re-applied. So If you use Swords Dance, you also gain *an additional 12.5% in Speed/Defence/Special (on top of the 12.5% you were supposed to be getting). When you level up, the game corrects this error, and only the non-glitch 12.5% remains. Because of how difficult it is to avoid, I've allowed for it to be exploited, since opponents will spam Leer/Growl anyways, and this way battles are less random. Red/Blue are extremely buggy, so there's always going to be some glitches present, and because of how unavoidable this one is, it is allowed in runs, and considered more like a special Generation 1 mechanic as opposed to a glitch.

Poliwhirl definitely deserves to be above Nidoking and Nidoqueen. The mistakes like forgetting strength and not teaching psychic in the tower cost so much time and wasn't poliwhirls fault.

[@miguelangelmartinezcasado8935]

Yes, specially as maybe he could have won with less lvl and could have been 5 minutes less time because of strenght being then 3:15

[@sondrefrlich9307]

Agree

[@Rork310]

I tend to agree. Might be close with Nidoqueen. But time losses aside, While it makes sense to give a pokemon the benefit of the doubt if they struggled against Brock compared to something that struggled late game when it has all the options. The fact is the Nidos did struggle with Brock whereas Poliwhirl really didn't struggle at all. Even against the Elite 4 while the Nidos first tried other than the unfortunate Loreli luck I think Poliwhirl might have been more consistent. Outspeeds the Gengars. Champion battle went smoothly despite Sky Attack interupting setup and Gyrados taking 3 turns because of crits. Even the Gyrados misclick against Lance might actually have been the better strategy. Hyperbeam did less than half so unless it was a bad range tanking 2 hyperbeams should be fine to get the extra Amnesia as it outsped and one shot everything after the Gyrados.

The long foreshadowed poliwhirl run is here excited to see what it can do

[@Marcos31092]

And now he mentioned a collab. Maybe a new foreshadowing?

[@xj-may]

The reason for the 1/256 glitch is because of the way the game checks accuracy. When you use an attack, it’ll roll a random number generator from 0-255, and if the number it lands on is less than the specific number (whatever the closest number to the percentage of the move accuracy, so the number would be 229/230 for a 90% accurate move), the move will hit. For 100% accurate moves, the number the RNG roll needs to be less than is 255, since it’s impossible to roll anything higher than that. However, since the RNG only counts a move as a hit if the number is less than 255, and not less than or equal to 255, if the RNG lands on 255, it’ll count as a miss. Hope this made sense lol

[@cathallynch8269]

Not quite lol

[@ekim613]

if a "100%" accurate move rolls 0 out of 0-255 it will miss. 100% accurate moves are really 99.609%. nice

It's not the lack of amnesia that would hurt poliwrath, it is the fighting typing. Psychic will do extra damage and it's slower to boot.

[@benikujaku4567]

But Lorelei can't attack it

[@jerry3115]

​@@benikujaku4567the fighting type has its upsides, but making Alakazam very annoying is a serious L. I still think amnesia is the bigger loss

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

Also the 70 base speed compared to Whirl and Wag's 90

[@Nightmster]

The lack of any (badge-)boosting move will probably hurt it too though

[@noukan42]

That is overrated has a problem. How many psychic types are there that cannot be delayed and are not weak? Basically just the champion alakazam. Pokywrath is far better equipped than Machamp at dealing with it and Machamp did well enought. Lacking amnesia is the big problem.

[@damno8190]

One thing I've noticed through all these runs is how good the water types do. Goes to show how well rounded the water typing is, with almost all water types learning ice moves to completely destroy one of it's weaknesses. Poliwhirl also learning earthquake makes it a beast

[@DrinkingBird69]

Shenanagans is a great guy. I've been watching him and Chrism race randomizers for like 4-5 years now. Listening to him discuss the details and quirks of all the pokemon games is a real treat. A Collab would be fun

[@n_k_]

[@chaoslordmissingno]

I will say that I do appreciate shenanagans but after hearing his views on unvaccinated shouldn't be allowed into hospitals, I've lost all respect for him. His views may have changed on that but I haven't kept up with him since

[@iss2075]

@@chaoslordmissingno I'm unvaccinated, so it's a shame if he believes that. But the truth is that a lot of people have very different life experiences. For me I don't watch the news, don't have a TV, just ignore politics, and I live in a community of people who are into occultism, so we don't rely on mainstream medicine very much compared to other people as we have our own methods (which I'm not supposed to be talking about in KZbin comments honestly... but they work fantastic). I don't know very many people who are vaccinated. It's the obvious thing for me to not do it. If I did get vaccinated everybody I know would think I'm weird and wouldn't understand why I would do it. Shenanagans lives in a completely different world to me though. I guess he's most likely an atheist and he follows mainstream news and mainstream politics very heavily. So he has a completely different perspective on things. If we swapped upbringings probably he would be unvaccinated and maybe I would be wanting to ban unvaccinated from hospitals. The media he's consuming every day, it has an ENORMOUS effect on the way people think. He's probably been put under a lot of social pressure to say things like that. Basically, he's just a product of his environment, so I don't hate him. He seems to be quite an intelligent guy, but he's still human and susceptible to social influence just like the rest of us.

[@lunkee6972]

@@chaoslordmissingno god forbid, they didn’t want someone at the height of a pandemic who is much more susceptible of getting a disease to being said disease into a place where many people do not have the immune function to fight it, essentially killing them. Helping one person to kill more. It’s like letting someone with a ticking bomb strapped to them enter the airport and board the plane. We don’t know if the bomb will go off, so we should just let them in, right? Or would you agree it would be best to prevent them from coming in? Now that we’re not at the height of the pandemic and the deadliness of the disease has gone down, those views are understandable to change. In the end, it comes to a difference in value of human life and the sacrifice it takes for society to run. Besides, caring that much about a KZbinrs political stance is kind of cringe. Ngl.

Great run, by the way~!

[@mr.number9279]

Poliwhirl is a complete beast. For as good as the Nidos are, Poliwhirl makes an absolute joke out of the entire game. It has a "rougher" start than them I guess but it makes up for an absolutely effortless late-mid to end-game thanks to the absurdity of Gen 1 Amnesia. Awesome run.

[@kitty1931]

I'm suprised that middle evos aren't getting their own tier list. Was great to see poliwhirl in action!

[@NicolasClark7732]

To be fair, Poliwhirl feels like one of the few middle stages that would actually have a plausible difference compared to its final and first stages. Most middle stages seem like they'll perform in a middle ground between their base and evolved forms. But like Jrose mentioned, Poliwhirl might actually perform better than Poliwrath. All of which means it's generally more entertaining to play and watch either fully evolved Pokemon, or unevolved ones.

[@DisplayThisOkay]

@@NicolasClark7732 Charmeleon and the Nidos will be different too, but every other middle evo is "pretty much just better than first form worst then fully evolved".

[@PyreonPT]

From what I understood, it's not meant to be part of a middle evo run, it's just that the Pokémon itself has at least as much potential as fully evolved mons and can therefore be tiered alongside with them. I see it as an exception.

[@kitty1931]

[@emperor_morpho3226]

water is OP

[@marcosdheleno]

@@emperor_morpho3226 always has been. the best part of water types is how they get a counter to all of their weakness with many getting either earthquake or dig and ice beam/blizzard. i remember discussing with someone on a diferent video about the best starter, and how blastoise ends up being the best first choice due to how diverse his moveset is. i mean, you get bite at 24 and can get mega punch before misty. and you get dig before surge. and those are the hardest challenges you will face, until the end of the game, when you could have some problems to beat the gyarados.

Month of Jrose has been killing it and I've pretty much eagerly await for the new video every night before I go to sleep as a ritual of sorts lately.

[@DrFoggyPants]

Another thing that I think can make Poliwhirl better for this type of challenge is the typing. Poliwrath is part fighting, which potentially could be a huge deal vs Sabrina, Agatha if she sleeps and dream eater, and the champion's Alakazam, especially with the lower base speed

[@velvetbutterfly]

But the fighting type makes Lorelei and and Lance free

[@DisplayThisOkay]

Being fighting type is a huge deal. Being fighting offers zero advatage even if it got all of Poliwhirl's moves and speed.

[@craigyeah1052]

@@velvetbutterfly Does it? I can't remember if Poliwrath has a set up move to use against Dewgong. Since Poliwhirl swept Lance after Gyarados anyway it is even with Poliwrath on that front.

[@shirounshiroun7555]

Surprised too see Poliwhirl ranking below Nidoking, there's definitely an argument to be made for Nidoqueen being better but watching the run it really felt like Poliwhirl breezed through the run despite the mistakes that cost time like no Psychic for the ghosts, not going to Blayne before rival 5val and going back for Strength. Amnesia is just that good and he outsped the Gengars too! Earthquake was definitely the right call but I'm thinking maybe holding on to Psychic until after you defeat Lorelei so you can use it on her water types, and then teach EQ for Agatha, might have saved a little bit of time (and would have one shot Sabrina's Venomoth too)? Regardless, great run for Poliwhirl and I'm looking forward to see how it compares to Poliwrath when you release it Jrose! Also AJ please keep pushing for the "song" to be released, you guys already said too much to back down now 😭
