16:40 - MDB is using Return instead of Dig against targets that Dig is super effective against is because, 1) Dig only had 60 base power in Gen 2. However, even if it was 80 it would've done 160 damage. Whereas with Return, with max friendship, it has a base power of 102. Factoring in STAB makes it 152 _PLUS_ extra damage from Normal moves because of the 3rd Gym badge. This makes STAB Return one of the strongest moves in the game, and why MDB was able to one shot Pokemon you might've thought should've survived. (That and stat experience of course, but that applies ot all moves.)

[@sobblegaming350]

True

[@Pawerrex]

For the same reason I don't get why he uses blizzard for the dragon gym. Sure its 240 power being super effective, but a badge boosted 153 power return will do a lot more damage, considering that rattata has more than twice more attack than special attack. Except for double weaknesses, super high defense pokemon or steel/rock types, it never makes sense to pick any super effective move over return

[@PME_FGC]

Okay, 2 things: 1. STAB is only a 25% boost in this gen 2. None of the badges in gen 2 power anything up But yes, STAB max Friendship neutral target Return is still *sliiiightly* stronger than supereffective gen 2 Dig

[@sobblegaming350]

@@PME_FGC Okay, 2 things: 1. To complement what SobbleGaming350 said, Pokemon Legends Arceus and Pokemon GO are the only games in the *entire series* that didn't have STAB = +50% damage. Including the spinoff Mystery Dungeon games. 2. Not only do certain badges boost stats like in Gen 1 (minus the glitch regarding stat drops), they continued to do so in Gen 3. And in Gen 2 there were boosts to moves of the corresponding Gym types, they just weren't explicitly _mentioned._ So the Flying Gym badge boosts Flying moves, Bug Gym badge boosts Bug moves, Normal Gym badge boosts Normal moves, etc. So no, STAB max Friendship neutral target Return is _noticeably_ stronger than supereffective Dig in gen 2.

I've been chanting slugma run for weeks, and I only just found out Magcargo would be more painful due to dual typing in gen 3. I figured Slugma would be pain enough due to lower stats, but if Magcargo would be a tougher run, then that would be cool to watch

[@agrithdragonflame3775]

Fun fact: Despite hail existing in Generation 3, no weather condition affected Blizzard until Generation 4, where hail makes it a sure-hit move. However, in Gen 4 (specifically Diamond and Pearl due to a bug that was fixed in Platinum and onward), it had a 30% chance to bypass Protect and Detect if using when it is hailing. Also, harsh sunlight (the sunny day effect) halves damage from water moves. While I'm not certain, it may be possible that Surf might not have been able to take out Manbar under these conditions (or at the very least might have been an unlikely damage range between a high and low roll) while Blizzard would guaranteed finish Manbar of (provided it landed the 70%).

[@robertlupa8273]

I assume Blizzard worked like that because the coding worked like this: - roll the dice - if the RNG rolls on "miss", check if it's Hailing - - if it IS Hailing, force the move to hit, skipping any other checks (including "is the target using Protect?") - - if it's NOT Hailing, force the move to miss

[@Mattias_the_unimpressive]

I think you are allowed to restart the game until you get a good starter. Rattata is a physical attacker and gender is based on the attack stat, so I knew from the start that your rattata isn't in the top percentage of rattatas. My thoughts on the Red battle: leftovers heal so little that a pink bow or king's rock would have been more helpful. Also, Blizzard does not have reduced accuracy from sun, you're thinling of Thunder.

hmm I don't think it would be the hardest challenge, but I'd enjoy seeing a Scyther only run. Poison and Bug types always get a hard time, I would love to see a poison team realised fully with the tactical playstyle, rarther then brute forcing fights like so many types do. Bug too are so often seen as a joke it would always be good to see more bug revenge which I am happy to see you've done before. This was a straight fun run, I was surprised you didn't hit walls sooner, maybe Youngster Joey is on to something?

[@critormiss6084]

I wish only Poison types (plus thematic exceptions like Gliscor) could learn Toxic, or that it only Badly Poisoned when those mons used it. It's really weird that they're supposed to be this technical typing but the OG Poison utility move can be used by anyone and isn't even more effective on a Poison type. EDIT: I forgot it can't miss when Poison types use it since Gen 6. And Bulbapedia says many Pokemon lost the ability to use it in BDSP? That's a step in the right direction, I guess.

[@ShadeDergon97]

@@critormiss6084 The TM for Toxic didn't exist in Sword & Shield, and they kept it consistent with BDSP, apparently. Which is something I'm quite annoyed about, since my main strategy with Umbreon, my favorite pokemon in the entire series, is now gone. Also, Poison types cannot miss when using Toxic iirc, which is the plus they get when using it. EDIT: Just noticed the first half of your edit, whoops. That's what I get for just skimming through comments looking for one to reply to for the KZbin algorithm, I guess.

[@ssjbread2803]

Scyther would be hell in gen 1, for the same reason that he deemed Eevee impossible; it doesn't learn anything other than Normal moves and thus can only hit ghosts with Bide. Mimic makes Agatha less of an annoyance but that doesn't change the fact he has to fight mandatory channelers to get through the middle of the game.

[@conflictinmybrain2019]

I really like your challenges!!! I used to really like mono pokemon runs and i still do! But I've developed a soft spot for move restrictive runs.

[@jackmahoney3783]

A fun fact about Ruticata is that people think you kill Blue’s Ruticate but in actuality it makes sense why it wasn’t on his team as he is going to an area filled with ghost types and Ruttata and Ruticate can only learn normal moves in gen 1 even struggle was normal in gen 1 so it’s impossible for a natural one to hit a ghost. This could be fixed with Tms but why would you waste one on something already weaker than what you’re fighting. The only real mystery is why he didn’t replace it with another mon but it’s still better having an open slot than a Ruticate in this context.

[@EluneAnzu]

I assume he literally just got done tossing it in the PC right before the fight, after the end of the fight he specifically says he caught a Cubone at the tower who also isn't on his team, so he probably decided the Raticate was useless around the time he caught the Cubone, went to the PC to box it, decided not to replace it with the Cubone, he does mention he can't find a Marowak in the tower so maybe he was trying to replace it with Marowak? Just a guess.

Alternate strategy for Red I believe this would have worked. Curse instead of super fang. Snorlax would probably rest after one return giving you a chance to set up. Or you could have set up on the Pikachu and had rest instead of dig to heal

[@skeetermania3202]

That would introduce another problem: speed. Plus the most threatening Pokémon use special attacks, so Curse doesn’t help there at all.

[@darkwingduck1376]

just starting the video and looking at the tms so I'm gonna say this now and then hope that it happens in the video. Anyways, shadow ball is physical, also Iron tail or dig could be pretty good. So I'm hoping you incorporate those more that thunder and blizzard, cuz those moves don't seem worth it imo.

[@dmcmahondm]

As for the Magcargo, I played Omega Ruby with a fire team and while I loved the Magcargo I used in that run. However, I would not want to be doing a full run with it and that's with a Magcargo that has better moves than what you will have access to. Sure the dual typing is not great but I predict that the speed stat will really be the cause of most problems. Really looking forward to seeing what you do!

[@MobileGamingChronicles]

You came very close to winning at level 95. Instead of leveling up, you could've went and got the TM for Thunder, but then again it requires a ton of coins, and with low Special Attack, it may not have been a one shot, but there's a chance it could've paralyzed Blastoise and caused it not to attack, and the other downside of Thunder is it's only 70% accurate. Great challenge as always.

[@SquallLionhart409]

Silly fact, if an Alakazam were to use Hyper Beam, it would deal less damage than a Rattata Return. A Charmander would deal slightly more than that Alakazam with Hyper Beam, but still fall short of the Rat's Return. (This assumes max happiness and equal EVs and DVs/IVs for gen 1-3.) Some more practical information is that the Rat's Return will overpower any (physical) move 75 power or lower that does not have two effective modifiers in favor. (Not very effective vs super effective, for example.)
