Is Chimecho Faster than Mewtwo in Pokemon Emerald?

[@edicyon]

Imagine being Steven Stone, ready to fight the new champion, and then he comes along and throws one (1) little bell boy at you and wins

[@calebjohnson9740]

Love Chimecho! Also it’s funny watching this from back before you knew Cradily and Armaldo’s types 😆

[@tsunlastspock2206]

Glad you figured out what was going on with the first video! Chimecho is definitely one of those Pokemon that doesn't stand out in the fandom's consciousness but still puts in the work. And its performance in this run is definitely a testament to how much you've been improving both in general gameplay and in Emerald specifically!

[@azeria1]

You can thank gamefreak for that a one percent encounter late into the game with proof it was added very late into development

[@reshawshid]

Forgot to say this in your Rayquaza video, but I hope you know to put Solarbeam on Groudon, and Thunder on Kyogre, when you do cover them. You get free setup for both those moves to take away their drawbacks. Also I like when you have your character drawing show up on the left when you face a gym leader or other tough trainer, it gives the impression that you're challenging them.

[@Reptargrr1]

Love that you ended up liking Chimecho as much as you did :-) I didn’t start using him seriously till I played Arceus and I absolutely loved him! He was even my ace at one point. Nothing but love for Chimey ❤

[@Carson_Neiss]

Two observations. Modest is good. Fast EXP Growth Rate is good. These helped Chimecho a lot. It will be interesting to see how EXP growth and base stats continue to affect runs in Emerald. Note: I'm recommenting with a similar comment to my original since this video was reposted.

[@DeuxisWasTaken]

Yawn is pretty good. A guaranteed sleep on the second turn is often more reliable than 60% chance on first, then another on second. The risk of missing two in a row is only 16%, but you know how it goes with moves around 85% accuracy lol

[@qactustick]

Imagine my confusion when I finish watching the Chimecho video, go back to the homepage for KZbin, and somehow see the Chimecho video in my recommended...uploaded 45 minutes ago. I honestly didn't really notice anything 'wrong' with the original upload, except for the BGM during the Victory Road section being a bit loud and that seems to have been addressed here so I'm guessing that's related to the stuff mentioned in the description!

[@WiredSquid]

Glad I wasn’t the only one confused stilled watched as well just cause I wanna but I was caught off guard when I realized I was wow what’s the odds he runs out of pp against the same Pokémon twice lol then I had to look twice still great content love the hard thanks Mr. Scootter

[@TheSuperGiantSquid]

I used chimecho for the 1st time when I was about 17 (I’m 27 now) and ever since it’s become a staple on my team if it’s available. It’s not fantastically powerful or anything but it’s incredibly reliable. It fits the definition of “Good Pokémon” perfectly.

[@nelsondaily]

So glad I found your channel. Love to binge these old runs and looking forward to see the future runs :D

[@wideright7567]

In the glorious words of Chimecho itself chime chime!!!!

[@areallytallguy]

I had commented on the previous video about the audio balance, and it’s completely fixed now! Thanks!!

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Glad I was able to figure it out for you :)

[@scrubplaceholder6216]

Legendary's are held back by the slow growth rate. Chimecho is just very high lvl all the time.

[@n64_kfp]

Watched it yesterday and was more than happy to watch it again today. Love your content Scott! Keep up the great work!

[@BKroyals6]

Liked the original video and slapped another like on this bad boy. Keep up the good work brother, love the content.

[@Penguindude1]

The "Berry Shack" on the other side of Petalburg Forest is called the "Pretty Petal Flower Shop", (Yes, that is the actual name. One of the girls in there say as much.)

[@kotythe3238]

Glad you were able to fix the issue I am ready to watch the whole thing again lol

[@KyweenKyo]

Thanks for always being here for me during my treatments

[@Kim_W]

Watched the first version already, but here to watch the re-upload ❤

[@1stclasswarior]

Hey, it's me! The guy who leaves very long comments on your videos! I think you played this one excellently, your improvement was very visible. There's only one piece of advice I can give. I think you should have learned Shock Wave right away. You wouldn't have needed o use physical moves against dark types as often. You could argue it was for Wallace, but it is weaker than Psychic. 60x2=120 90x1.5=135 Psychic is always stronger except for against Gyarados, Sharpedo and Crawdaunt. Other than that small detail, good job. You did this one really well.

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

Audio balance is certainly much more, well, balanced in this vid lol.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

I exported the pre-processed audio incorrectly. My bad! Figured out a check to prevent it in the future.

[@OcelotOmega]

Rewatching to show my support! Definitely a cool run.

[@RobKni76]

Didnt even realize there was an audio issue, but I came back to give you another view! Thanks for all the amazing content!

[@LTDextel]

Feels bad that you had to reupload. So here's another comment and like and all the fun stuff. Dennis!

[@SixJayy]

Scott I just want you to know, I've been watching KZbin a ton for over 10 years now, and your channel is honestly the best channel I've come across yet. Your video's are just so incredibly good. I hope you keep doing this for a while longer. Incredibly entertaining every single time, so I guess I just want to say thank you so much! Much love

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Thank you so much. I put my heart and soul into this videos. It makes me so happy that they mean that much to you.

[@ButterMyPanda]

Hey, gotta read them all. Thanks for the good play through, I’ve deeply enjoyed your Yellow runs, and LOVE that you are dipping your toes into gen 3. Don’t worry, I slapped that chimecho, liked, and am already subbed. Thank you Scott!

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

You’re welcome @ButterMyPanda

[@red-eyessolares1817]

Great showing from both Chimecho and your continuing improvements on Emerald! I think in future runs for Pokémon like Chimecho that have setup moves, Substitute in Lilycove City will help deal with annoying statuses and give protection to dangerous threats. I also wonder if Swagger or Rollout on Chimecho would help out against Wattson?

[@ubermusli]

One of my favorite runs yet. Of course I'll watch it again!

[@shimauta619]

That was a genuinely surprising outcome.

[@ashclaw2306]

Chimecho is one of my all time psychic favourite... glad it did so well!

[@ultimapower6950]

Not sure what your opinion on rom hacks is but it has an evolution in Pokémon Procyon and Deneb. If your wondering what that is you can look it up if your interested. Edit fixed some spelling mistakes

[@ashclaw2306]

@@ultimapower6950 Thanks for the tip, I will check it out!

[@kevinsips3658]

Not gonna watch again (yet) since I saw the OG, but here's a replacement comment!

[@mufasa5851]

Thank you for another amazing video. Denis. Also near the end due to STAB shockwave was still less than psychic except vs gyarados

[@Undrave]

The biggest problem with Chimecho is that it was a super late STUPID RARE encounter in Hoenn. Like... 5% or less chance in the top area of Mt Pyre?! I don't know why they added Chingling to the line in Gen 4, I feel like getting a Chimecho by the second gym wouldn't have been terrible.

[@iantaakalla8180]

It’s not like Chimecho is a super powerful Pokémon either; Chimecho is basically a Pokémon in between third-fifth gyms if power was fully in effect. It is powerful and has STAB psychic moves but it certainly is not a Pokémon you want on your Elite 4 run.

[@Undrave]

@@iantaakalla8180 Yup. It's not something that should be rare! It's cute and small, make it an early mon!

[@eunotv]

Oh snap this is a round two.. you go Scott!

[@The_Azure_]

I've always liked Chimecho, but I constantly think its part Steel-type.

[@jimmie8987]

Think you're getting confused with venomoth

[@ellinosamakuntan2247]

I always think it's part flying Cause it's a damn wind chime

[@shantiranjansamal2535]

a attack lowering nature is usually very bad in early game but in the gen 3 Games including fire red u immediately get the rock type gym badge which raises Attack by 10% (instead of defence for some reason) your attack goes from 100% to 100(1-10÷100)(1+10÷100)=99%of original attack

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

First badge always raises attack ;)

[@shantiranjansamal2535]

[@pommyadam]

all this comment about "experience group" makes me want to see a pokemon in the fluctuating group next (and those pokes are almost exclusive to Hoenn) maybe something like Breloom/Hariyama because I'm not a complete masochist

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Oh yes, I should do one of those :)

[@garryfischer3679]

Holy crap I’m first! I look forward to starting this in a few minutes!

[@tylerhartman3034]

Also I think a Crawdaunt and Whiscash run would be super cool

[@patrickormerod3472]

Is Chimecho Better Than Mew Two?

[@dii3218]

[@stardf29]

I actually really liked Chimecho back when Ruby/Sapphire first came out; it had a cute design and I thought it was interesting how it was a rare encounter on Mt. Pyre. I don't think I really used one in my playthrough since I already had Gardevoir on my team, but I did use it a lot in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Anyway, Chimecho really showed up here! Calm Mind strats are overall really good and I think any mon with access to that move will do well to use it.

[@stevedomique9278]

Commenting to refeed the algorithm

[@lazypaladin]

The only person to give Chimeco any kind of love was James. _Hopefully this video changes that for the better!_

[@genesisyugioh9405]

Chimecho is one of those weird pokemon where, like. It's not exceptional in any sense of the word, it's outclassed by lots of pokemon by a clear margin. But it's just, like... Good. It's not crazy, it doesn't have a lot for coverage (thankfully Hidden Power exists now), but it's designed to be a special sweeper, and, for the story? It works.

[@Colin1Moriarty]

Commenting again cause I know it helps! Same comment as on the last video but always good for the algorithim. After watching this video I'm convinced that chimecho is the alarm clock bell to wake up Rayquaza so he can stop kyogre and groudon fighting! The real MVP lol Seriously though I didn't see this coming and I am so impressed with this Pokémon! I am actually excited to see a future episode with an optimised run and see how well it performs :D Thanks again Scott another great vid!

[@Burningtreeblood]

Yeah okay 👍🏽 I’ll watch again. I’m behind 2 videos. Drowzee is long 🙈 poor guy

[@WhiteOwlet]

I've always loved Chimecho! It was such a shame to me that they were so difficult to catch in RSE. But now I'm playing X and I just caught a Chingling.

[@thenerdbeast7375]

Growth rates are a fair metric when judging a Pokemon, yes Chimecho ended at a higher level but so what? It probably still had inferior stats to Mewtwo and you did almost if not the exact same battles with both Pokemon. You treated them fairly and Chimecho got to shine because of it.

[@maneruloquendero]

I used to have Chimecho on my DPP teams and honey, with the physical/special split, having a Chimecho with Shadow Ball, Psychic and Shock Wave is all you need to humilliate Cynthia

[@matthewbrown6573]

Fun fact: Chimecho is the best pokemon in competetive gen 3 Never-used

[@skeetermania3202]

I’m pretty sure that’s Hitmonchan.

[@CelticGuardian7]

I love that Chimecho destroyed the important fights... but died several times to random trainers. XP

[@braingaming8224]

For the double battle. You could have kept yawn and put the Claydoll to sleep then focus on the others

[@darkitachi6577]

with a pokemon like that its really amazing result. The power of fast growth :D

[@TheOGButterfreeguy]

If you ever do Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, you should do a Chingling run

[@corberus3119]

hey Scott, the moveset overlay doesn't have a power listed for double edge just ##. might be an issue with your code edit not a code thing, it not displaying correctly as the column is too narrow to show the power. you might need to adjust your overlay for moves with 100+ power, especially for later Gen games as more powerful moves are added

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Excel -> Photoshop issue

Already watched the original... But damn that view count lookin kinda sad So I guess I can throw this on in the background and drop a comment for Al

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

View count just looks sad. If we add in the original videos views as well as these this video performed well!

[@Silvitewolf]

you probably saw it but according to your own overlay your shockwaves were weaker than psychic vs the champion... gyrados not withstanding.

[@mickgorro]

Scott: It's so delightful! Me: Are you Geek now :)? (FreakandGeek is a Mario KZbin channel, and the lady who plays on that channel always says the trolls in the levels she plays are "delightful" :).)

[@spachishome]

For the algorythmn

[@olavjorvik94]

Calm Mind… Broken move. Even though it’s only half as broken as the insane gen 1 Amnesia, you can see how powerful that move is. Not many pokemon learns it, even from TM, I think that’s why. It’s just too good to be handed out to everyone.

[@tylerhartman3034]

Scott can you do a Starmie solos Gen 3 video?

[@mauiixg0dlike]

hate and love it that i have to chuckle about the pp-attack things like pp wrap even tho im 30 years old 😂

[@PhyzinicStudios]

I recently ran an emerald hardcore nuzlocke with single stage mons, and Chimecho put in work. It was the inspiration for the run, as I've never used it, and I was not disappointed. Question: In gen 3, if your hidden power is a special type like fire or ice, does it roll damage based on your special attack? I know that no matter the type, counter affects it and not mirror coat.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

It rolls damage based on your special stat or physical stat. Type dependant.

[@jefferythomas9072]

Would love to see a Claydol or sharpedo speed run

Are Chimechos eyes part of his smile? Or is he eyeless and the circles are simply dimples? I have made you question its design as I have. Good day to you.

Is there a reason you didn't learn Shockwave? I know it's not that powerful but it would give you a base 60 move that uses your better attacking stat.
