How Fast Can you Beat Pokemon Red/Blue with Just a Zapdos?

36:57 According to Bulbapedia, Mimic does go through accuracy checks in Gens 1 and 2. So your miss here was the 1/256 glitch

[@bassplay666]

I was thinking that as well.

[@Polarthief]

@Evil team leader Maxie Read Chad's comment again: "It goes through Accuracy checks" as in "it does NOT bypass Accuracy checks". It *IS* a 100% accuracy move in Gen 1/2. Gen 3 is when it bypasses the check. PS: The 1/256 glitch actually works on *all* moves of 100% accuracy *or less*, you just wouldn't ever know if it triggered or not without the use of hacking to see the value of the check. It effectively makes all moves that check for Accuracy just have an extra 1/256 (0.390625%) chance of missing.

The amount of loses were his fault (from what I could see he didn’t use the rare candies like he normally would). At least it didn’t struggle with the early gym leaders.

It was interesting that in the end it has similar time and level to Articuno and it's in RU. Huh. And Moltres is high up but because it has only Ember early on it underperformed quite a lot.

[@OmegaTyrant]

@yossarian Even with Drill Peck Moltres is still having a really hard time against Lance and the level it required to win would only be marginally lower, it definitely wouldn't be coming close to finishing faster than the other two birds.

[@ForeverLaxx]

@@illusionofquality979 That's just how a metagame works. Zapdos was basically brick walled by the same thing that walls it in competitive: Ground/Rock types like Rhydon (and in this case, also Onix). It just has no effective means of dealing with it and when you're forced to rely on crits and bad AI to get past, you're going to lose time.

Just made my night with this 🤩 Have to be up at 6am Needed something to pass out too These videos are perfect too wind down too at the end of the night 🙂 You’re a legend

[@PraefMace]

I really appreciate your choice of music for the E4/Champion stuff. It is one of those little details that is quite nice along with your commentary.

[@PuppetsByPalmieri]

I’d be really curious as to a Mew run. Also for your solo first forms...Staryu?? Great move pool.

[@petrie911]

Staryu doesn't get water gun until level 17, which means it may have some trouble with Brock.

[@kouron]

Funny that you mention it, I thought the same just before he uploaded. Mews good stats and full move pool should make this interesting.

[@Spine-ChillingGengar]

My guess is that mew is worse than mewtwo but better than zapdos. It is going to struggle against brock since it only knows pound and transform by then, but once he progresses through the game it gets easier and easier since mew can learn every tm in the game.

[@spectaclerock6322]

Mew will struggle against Brock but can deal easily with pretty much every trainers before the Elite 4 due to its movepool, with access to Mega Punch and Dig in the early game, then Ice Beam, Psychic and Thunderbolt before the fourth gym. However, a special Mew would just be significantly worse than Mewtwo due to having a similar movepool with a lower special. Mew gets two advantages over Mewtwo in RBY : its access to Softboiled and a way better physical movepool with access to Sword Dance, Earthquake, Rock Slide or Hyper Beam. A physical or a mixed Mew could be interesting to see.

Finally! Keep up the series, stay safe and keep well! 60 minutes, 0 seconds, I am psyched!

Jrose: "Bruno is a joke elite 4 member and Rage is a terrible move" Bruno: "REEEEEEEEEE"

[@lukereilly9844]

Glad to see a new video from you but I'm just so proud of Bruno.

[@FFFTBreak]

I just realized that the last bit of each of the legendary birds' names goes uno, dos, tres (1,2,3) which follows their order in the Pokedex. Took Jrose's player names to figure that one out

[@Sealed_Chamber]

Zapdos got some crazy looking feathers mang.

[@autobotstarscream765]

Some birds have crazy feathers irl, I think Zapdos is based on a kind of crested woodpecker.

[@mayaartsy9919]

@@autobotstarscream765 or that harpy eagle (I think that what is called)

[@MrEnte3000]

@@autobotstarscream765 It's feathers are designed to look like a stylised electric shock. That has nothing to do with real live birds.

[@autobotstarscream765]

@@MrEnte3000 Nothing? Have you seen the pointy plumage and crazy crests on some irl birds? I also used to think Zapdos was just an electric spark with a face so I started to wonder how it could fly, so I looked into it and learned all about bird feathers, and I was _shocked_ to discover that there were birds with wild feathers like that irl!

[@autobotstarscream765]

@@mayaartsy9919 The plumage of the harpy eagle and Phillipine eagle do kind of resemble that of Zapdos, and it makes sense for a Legendary Bird to be part eagle since the the mythological half of Zapdos's inspiration, the thunderbird, is an eagle, and because woodpeckers such as the yellow-crested woodpecker that Zapdos also resembles are kind of small for "god birds".

[@MrMeurfors]

I love your videos! I like when they’re around a hour and your videos’re so good with how you thought in the run etc :)

[@stevenjackson_theblueeyegunguy]

I'll be 30 years old in about 30 minutes, and I'm still a huge fan of pokemon. I've found myself watching your videos every night on my way home from work. I love your content and just your upbeat attitude. Keep it up. Sub for life.

We live in a society where Jrose got beat by Bruno.

Whenever Jrose11 uploads, I get very slightly happier inside

Your calculations earned my like, beautiful

[@enigmaticuser]

Just wanted to thank you for going through the effort to release interesting and engaging content! Been following you for years and I'm glad to see that you're getting the recognition you deserve!

[@masterfy24]

The fact that it is exactly one hour long is really satisfying 😌

[@thattruegamernerd]

Man, this was an INTERESTING video, a truly interesting video! BTW, it really looks like Bruno has leveled up himself, from R/B Bruno to Pokemon Adventures Yellow Arc Bruno, it's great!! Keep up the brainpower!

[@AzFYouTube]

This might have been your best one yet. Absolutely love the series. I really want to see Weedle. Even though I'm pretty sure it's impossible without items. Still want to see it. Keep it up you're doing amazing!!

[@mariogamesrock]

I love how you don't even explain the rules anymore and just get straight to Brock, all the real fans already know whats up

[@HayesCl]

Bruno finally got a little bit of revenge for all those just press A strategies

[@MarMaxGaming]

Love the series!! I’m feeling I may have to try some individual Pokémon run lol.. especially when seeing it could be done in 3-8 hours for a lot of them. Very cool, man.. watched all of your vids like this from start to finish.

[@krislynn5965]

Oh hell yeah. That's my boy Zapdos! P.S. I love these challenges so got damn much. You and Pikasprey are hands down my favorite Poke-tubers. Keep at it my dude 'cause I love em.

[@Gungho73]

I appreciated the faster intro, not gonna lie. It got me CHARGED for this video

[@yanmew]

1h vid just before my bedtime. Thanks for the perfect timing!

[@kyogery8927]

Love that when fighting Bruno you used the pokemon black and white elite 4 music, has to be my favorite elite 4 music. Very great runs. Keep up the runs

[@jonimmink5592]

I watched the articuno and zapdos ones and enjoyed the runs! My all time fav of the legendary birds for asthetic is articuno ever since I saw it for the first time on pokemon stadium but zapdos has become my fav to use in runs! I think itd be pretty cool to use mew as well to do all the legendaries in r/b/y! Very cool content, looking forward to seeing more!
