[@LunarAnimeAngel]

I just started watching it and the first thing that catches my attention is MDB saying “I don’t know about you but when I think about Johto, I absolutely don’t think of tropius” my thoughts: “MDB, there is a good reason you don’t. Tropius didn’t exist there. It is from Hoenn.” Then I read the title and curse my own idiocy for not paying attention. Lol

[@akilreid2235]

Ha! This is my time to shine, yes I HAVE had a Tropius in HG/SS! In fact, I've done the challenge you've just finished in every possible game! I have a Tropius tattoo on my shoulder, and I think I probably have the only one! Tropius is my boy, the pokemon I'd have if I could only have one, and holds a special place in my heart. If #357 has no fans, consider me dead!

It’s okay. You can use the name “Trople H” when you do a Tropius run in Fire Red or Black/White.

My guess: you thought Ice resists Grass because Ice shouldn't be THAT bad defensively. 😂

Grass is probably the type that makes the most sense for Ice to resist. Then again, grass definitely doesn't need more types to resist it.

[@RobinNicoagain]

Couple tips to help your HG and SS runs in future. Remember that you can find very early shell bell in HG and SS in route 32 behind a smashable rock (HM can be found in the ruins of Alph and can be used freely after the first gym) next to the bird keeper. It's just before entering the union cave. Also as another tip, smashing rocks in this game sometimes yields shards that you can exchange to berries with npc in Azalea town next to the pokecenter. This can easily net early sitrus berries and status berries that can help your journey. I don't know the chances of drops but on each save I have yielded few in 5 minute smash sessions so it's very easy thing to grind for. It's my go to way to get 10 oran berries for the ranch (to unlock the moomoo milk) because you find the shards so much faster. Also if you decide to let mom hold on to your pocket money, she can send rare berries that are helping to reduce the damage of certain type your pokemon is weak to. I have done challenge runs in this game and it seems to be coded to look at your party weaknesses so there's a higher chance to get them. For example if the event pops while you have only normal type pokemon in your party, she will send berry that reduces fighting type damage. Hope these will help your future runs. 😊

[@waltterikoponen8426]

I still have my hidden grotto only pokemon! (b2w2) - you can use the randomizer to change the starters to: sap sipper marill, rattled dunsparce and scrappy lillipup (they have their hidden abilities) - the starters are the ranch´s grotto encounters - you can choose to only use one pokemon per grotto OR you can catch anytime when something spawns (backup pokemon etc) - you do need to solo 3 gyms with the starter but you´ll manage

[@knate44]

It's ok, I feel like almost everyone has had that assumption about Ice types. It's REALLY weird that the only thing it resists, is more ice. I'm frankly shocked they didn't add any additional resistances to either flying or grass in gen VI where they tried really hard to rebalance the types. I blame them trying to make charizard a thing again.

[@ohair87]

You caught your error with the Ice resistance, but you didn’t correct the statement about Bug being super effective against Tropius.

[@SwiftyShawn]

wait, using Roost gets rid of the user's flying type for a turn? Never knew that

[@gliddens24]

Yeah, the turn a Pokemon uses roost, it loses all the flying type's weaknesses, resistances and immunities. A pure flying type like Rookidee actually becomes normal type while roosting. Also, fun fact I just checked form Serebii, a dual type Fire and Flying like Charizard or Moltres that lost it's fire type by using the move Burn Up actually becomes typeless while roosting instead.

[@AZ-rl7pg]

Cause it's kind of hard to roost while in the air so it has to land thus is no longer flying.

"Tropius isn't weak but it's really not great." There, I fixed it for you.

[@samperez1727]

For the fight with Red, you can set the weather condition to Diamond Dust if you change the date to particular ones. That way, you don't have to deal with Hail effects in the battle, and Lapras doesn't bypass accuracy checks with Blizzard.

[@discgolfwes]

I wonder what your hidden power was? Could have helped in the ghost gym potentially.

[@UnusualPete]

I was wondering about that too. It wouldn't help much against the ghost gym because they have high special defense but it could have helped with the Steel gym. Steelix is weak against 4 types and it has crappy special defense. If Hidden Power was fire, fighting or ground, he could have had an easier time against her entire team. Oh well... 🤷

[@baymastergin231]

YESSS I loved tropius back in the day! His typing was so unique and and I thought he was a really fun pokemon

[@skimaskedabi]

Fun tropius fact: in the early scarlet/violet vgc (competitive doubles) meta, tropius was a niche menace utilizing leech seed stall of all things! stall is a usually notoriously terrible doubles strategy, usual classic stall singles mons like toxapex cant tank 2 mons focusing them down but...tropius of all things could. It fell off hard after early regulations, but shout out to banana beard for making me want to throw my switch across the room a couple of times lol

[@amazingspidermew]

This run was really fun to watch, Trop is such an odd duck of a Pokémon that seeing it in action was a blast! Would love to see you use it again in FRLG, I think it would fare better but still be a challenge. Lastly, my girlfriend really loves Stardew so you know you’ll have us watching the KZbin uploads!

[@Chimcharlover13]

To say that Wally's team is so good yet he does so badly with it feels kinda unfair. You only battle him once during the entire game (I don't count the first time, since he literally only has an unevolved Ralts), and of course by the end of the game your team is gonna be ready for the Elite Four, so naturally it'll easily take down Wally's team. So, that feels kinda unfair.

Roost losing flying type was a fact that scrambled my brain. Trouple H would've been Gold, shoulda done Soul Silver instead, I guess. A wild Missingno appeared at 27:15!

[@BioniclesaurKing4t2]

The non-attacking Quilava sounds a lot like my experience with that rival battle. His Croconaw refused to attack my underleveled Bellsprout and only tried using Scary Face a half dozen times in a row, usually missing because of Flash, letting Vine Whip slowly chip it away. Any attack and he would've won in 2-3 hits, hands down. And a few foes, especially Steelix, probably would've been easier if you had Magical Leaf instead of Razor Leaf because it was a special move.

[@KimParkkinen]

I pretty much always have Tropius in my team in any of the games where HMs are a thing and it is available sometime before E4, since it is without a doubt one of the best HM Buddies in the game, learning a ton of them, pretty much all non-water related ones.

[@Karokzak]

Gosh I didn't expect Tropius to be that much in disadvantage in HG/SS, maybe in an other game it will get his retribution. Pokémon Challenge suggestion: You are free to go with the game of your choice, but the challenges is using only middle evolution stage pokémon. (For Exemple: If you pick Bulbasaur as your starter, you can only battle with Ivysaur.) You are not allowed to use pokémon who's has no evolution or only 1, it must be a pokémon with a 2 stage linear Evolution. So pokémon like Eevee or Tyrogue are not allowed, but pokémon like Oddish, Poliwag or Ralts are allowed. Try number: 8

[@AquaRainfell]

If Tropius wasn't owned gy a Gym Leader I would have forgot it exists. It's a "Yeah oh that one" sort of Pokemon

[@ShadyScienceFeline]

I’m pretty sure that I did have a Tropius in HeartGold or SoulSilver at some point, because I completed the national dex in one of them. The Tropius came from Platinum, where it can be caught in the Great Marsh.

[@batey317]

My two cents on doing single challenge runs. The Krabby instance around minute 25 actually affected how a lot of the battle went. A single attack drop from intimidate lowers your attack by 33%. After Pidgeot used whirlwind you now got an effective attack buff for the rhydon and Machamp. If you look at the damage range for rhydon he used multiple full restores because you kept bringing him to red health. If you still had the intimidate stat drop then a) Machamp might not have been a one shot and b) those rhydon full restores would be available for Machamp who could hit you in the air due to No Guard. In addition the AI in later games won't use Whirlwind if you have 1 Pokemon. It's a minor thing but always is in the back of my mind when I see you enter a boss fight with more than one pokeball that technically the outcome can be affected just by the presence of HM users even if they don't fight. I know it isn't feasible to box them before every boss fight (especially fights on routes where you need HMs to get to them) but if you could either knock them out or for gym battles box them it can affect the outcome. And the Krabby numbers to me looks like this fight could've been harder if krabby wasn't a target for whirlwind. And the counterpoint of you took damage balancing it out doesn't fly here because Tropius has roost. The attack drop was far more detrimental.

[@batey317]

Huh. I didn't know there are days where Red doesn't have Hail. That would've made it more doable if you set the clock just because blizzard would no longer be 100% accuracy but back to normal 70%. But with 3 Pokemon that probably can't be one shot (maybe you could one shot Blastoise with a crit) you are looking at 30% * 30% * 30% = a 2.7% chance for 3 blizzards to miss you. Doable considering some of your insane earlier runs years ago, but a potential path you could've tried for the fight. Plus all the extra turns of leftovers with fly and no hail might've helped. Fun video, thanks.

[@SubparMinecraft]

Tropius is cool but just wait till you get your hands on Yamask

Tropius is one of those Pokémon with a lot of good things going for it as a mod-game Pokémon, but it REALLY could do with an evolution or regional variant. It would do a lot for the poor bananasaur. Another week of requesting a solo Swablu run!

[@qinaxin7107]

Would like to note that MDB's comment that grass is a rough type for Johto isn't quite accurate. Grass isn't that great a type in general. Lots of weaknesses and for the most part just a less good water type offensively. Plus Flying Bug and poison types are fairly common in most games, especially early, and all of those are super effective on grass types. Anyways, great video as always. Which fossil did you take? Comments are good for the KZbin algorithm.

[@theotakuwolf8573]

Most of the good grass starters are carried by the games being built with them in mind, but then again grass types are great for support in doubles so at least they are great at something

[@jamesdinius7769]

Grass isn't a bad typing per sae. It tends to be a good support/defensive type. Grass types do struggle harder in Jhoto than any other region. Mainly because there's no overlap in the gyms between Kanto and Jhoto is because most of the types Grass is strong against or resists (Rock, Water, Electric, Ground) are Kanto gyms. Also, most of the bad Grass match ups are Jhoto gyms (flying, bug, ice, steel, dragon, and the Ghost gym which is also a Poison gym).

[@avanelletheclockfriend2515]

I’ve personally had a lot of luck with Dhelmise. Not exactly the first grass type normal people think of(or first ghost type for that matter) but it’s my favorite ‘mon and I’m not a normal person. Getting essentially 3 STAB types thanks to Steelworker is neat and allows for some solid coverage. Liquidation and Earthquake are both solid options to deal with fire types, or you can run Brick Break to deal with dark and steel types(and Reflect). Brutal Swing is also there but STAB Shadow Claw or Phantom Force are both better options against ghost/psychic types imo. Unfortunately its grass coverage is hindered by not getting many physical grass moves(as much as I wish it got Leaf Blade, it makes sense not to since seaweed/kelp isn’t actually a plant and doesn’t have leaves- why yes I did take the time to learn about macroalgae because my fictional funny little big guy is that), but that does mean it’s not out of the question to rely on ghost and steel STAB without grass coverage in favor of one of the other physical coverage options it gets. However I usually run brave nature(+atk -spd) so that Giga Drain is a viable grass move for healing; its speed isn’t great to begin with but it has enough bulk to realistically take a hit or two and pull off some amount of recovery. If you can nail something weak to grass with Anchor Shot(which prevents switching), even better! Defensively, it’s actually not too bad for a grass type. No quad weaknesses, dual typing means it only takes neutral damage from poison and bug, normal and fighting immunity of course, can’t be trapped in battle, and immune to powders/spores/leech seed. Given that it has reliable coverage for every type it’s weak to except flying(I do not trust Rock Slide), even in bad match ups it’s not necessarily helpless. Slap an assault vest on it and you’ll probably be able to catch quite a few people off guard. But what do I know, my only experience in competitive is battling in SV for free stuff, and Dhelmise isn’t even in that. 😔 Grass isn’t a great type on the surface, but immunity to leech seed and spore/powder moves(except poison powder iirc) in modern games is a very overlooked trait of the type imo. And at least it isn’t ice!

[@Letcaster]

Quite literally a lot of cool moves

[@SomeGuy712x]

(1:59) "TV Tropius" gave me a good laugh! (3:01) You probably could've used Growth a couple times in order to be able to outrace his Roost healing with your Gusts. (3:16) Ooh, clever. That works too! (4:24) U-Turn is not super effective against Tropius, because you're part Flying, so it just deals neutral damage. (9:55) Whoa, hello there, graphical glitches. (11:37) Actually, Ice does not resist any other type besides itself, so Grass is super effective against Piloswine. (11:49) Well, at least you realized your mistake there. (16:41) LOL, even more graphical glitches. (17:14) Yeah, I guess DS emulators aren't perfect yet. (22:39) I wonder why you're not equipping a Cheri Berry to help deal with paralysis?

(Including the "endgame" additions that only show up after the Joja mart/community centre plots are finished.)

[@farmerphern]

So, Tropius definitely struggles in Johto/Unova runs because of being a grass type, both of those regions are not kind to the grass type as a whole. Sinnoh wants to be unkind to them because of Snowpoint city and Aaron/Flint from the E4, but the rest of the region is fine.

[@jand1993]

I think this is the first time, you was able to beat Heartgold/Soulsilver, wasn't it? Was fun to watch. Runs which could be fun, are a Vulpix only run in gen 4 Platinum/Soulsilver. In Platinum one should be more interesting. Soulsilver, please, for your sanity, just take a team of these cute fluffballs. Second, i'm interested what you will do with a team of 6 Eeveelution's. Best in Platinum. It should be easy, but take it as some easy challenge for once. Third: i wonder, if Elite 4 Bruno can beat Pokémon Crystal. It should work out, but don't know how easy or difficult it may become.

I remember back when oras was about to come out, my friends and I made hoenn teams and fought in a little tournament. We are not competitive players, but I swept everyone with a Tropius that had Dragon Dance, Roost, Leaf Blade, and Fly, also holding a sitrus berry with harvest. It was real fun.

I'd love to see a Carnivine-only run. Nobody gives a shit about Carnivine.

I used it on my first gen 4 run because ive always loved venus flytraps. Such a goofy mon

27:20 I didn't know you could play as Missingno. Lol

[@lolschrauber]

Still hoping for a hawlucha run. Might be too strong to be entertaining though

[@generalwd40]

Very good video ! In your video you use Tropius, but in the video description you says you use Regigigas ??????

[@jonmcknight18]

I want to see you do a riolu only run (I would say lucario but he has good stats and is part steel type.)

[@TheCasualGM]

Would love to see a Surskit only run of one of the Gen 3 games someday. It has a surprisingly decent movepool and I think would make for a fun video, might need to EV train its Special Attack though

13:03 I wonder if you considered using a Cherri berry in this fight.

Glad I'm not the only one that has the pixalation problem when emulating HGSS.
