Shinx can also learn Magnet Rise via the Move Tutor in Snowpoint City. MDB could look up for shards in the underground and then teach Shinx the move in order to avoid the ubiquitous late game Earthquake. Shame Ice Fang is an egg move, but he could manipulate Shinx's IVs to get Hidden Power Ice, a good nature and Intimidate as an ability (Rivalry is terrible). Still, I wonder if a Shinx with Thunderbolt, Return, HP Ice and Magnet Rise can beat the game.

I would suggest getting the held item Metronome. You can get them from Kricketots in the beginning of the game. It makes moves used over again stronger with each use. It would help with the grinds and those pesky damage ranges if one move works on certain Pokémon that give you a hard time. Might help on the next Platinum run.

I would’ve tried to reset for a intimidate shinx in all honesty. Even if it’s only the lead Pokémon that gets the attack drop that at least allows you to do more damage consistently not only that but rivalry is one of the worst abilities in Pokémon history. Upon finishing this video You should’ve done intimidate you would just take less damage in the beginning. And Cynthia’s lucario is always male. Same with Maylene. Those double battles would’ve been better too intimidate hits both lead Pokémon. Resetting for the intimidate would’ve taken way less time than the amount of resets you had on Byron.

So I used a stat calculator and unfortunately due to w/e reasons, it couldn't determine the exact IVs for Shinx but heres what I got. Level 100 Shinx, no clue how formatting will look below: Base Stats EV Range Possible IVs Actual Stat HP 45 200-231 Invalid Value 246 ATK 65 135-166 26 161 DEF 34 73-104 Invalid Value 109 SP. ATK+ 40 93-127 Invalid Value 154 SP. DEF 34 73-104 17 90 SPD- 45 85-113 31 113 Total 263 --- 74 So, with that, the funny thing is that you had MAX Speed IVs but a speed lowering nature and a decent attack IV still. If you look at what Shinx's base stat range should be at level 100 (depending on IVS, EVS and Nature) its: HP: 45 200 - 294 Attack: 65 121 - 251 Defense: 34 65 - 183 Sp. Atk: 40 76 - 196 Sp. Def:34 65 - 183 Speed:45 85 - 207 You can see that your HP was very high, whether that was EVs or your IVS, not sure. Your ATK, despite your good IVs must have not received enough EVs during the run. Your DEF & SpDef were middling so not the worse. Your SpA wasn't too far off its max potential of 196 from your 154, it would needed another 168 SpA EVS and you could've maxed that. Lastly, without being able to know the rest of your IVs that aren't invalid, we can't determine your Hidden Power or what its Base Power would have been, but Shinx would have benefitted from it since its a SpA move.

There should be a caveat that if you can’t beat a challenge at level 100, you try to evolve the Pokémon by using a save at level 99 (or 98) and topping off with rare candy, to see if your evolved Pokémon can actually win if the 1st forms can’t pull through.

What’s frustrating about the Shinx line is they have a really good coverage move that is super-effective against grass and ground (which gave the most trouble) in Ice Fang, but it’s unavailable in a run like this since it’s only obtainable as an egg move.

Waited for the updates vid to say this: How absolutely brutal! And there isn't even much that could help. Intimidate instead of rivalry would've helped, and maybe a speed positive nature but that's rng that could screw you over with IVs. I also thought Shinx got all the Fang moves but I guess that's a gen 5 or 6 addition. It's also crazy how anti-electric gen 4 is, everyone talks about how anti-fire it is but this has opened my eyes to such a disparity

I feel like the only win condition is to do Toxic Stalling with Double Team and Attract for all the Male Pokémon in the run. It sounds as boring as it probably would be but it’s still (probably) possible. The only other option would be to allow you to bread Ice Fang down onto a Shinx and use that for the rest of the run. Good video and can’t wait for that Bethesda.

This challenge is definitely doable with optimized stats, specifically to get HP-Ice for Cynthia's Garchomp. Although HP-Grass would be even better for Bertha, and Garchomp could crumple to a Pomeg Berry fueled Natural Gift instead. Even without one-shots, There's also the option of Magnet Rise to negate all those pesky ground moves. With a bit of research, there are probably even more potential routes to victory. It's just not the kind of challenge that can be brute forced without a plan.

I think this run is definitely possible, but you’d definitely need some combination of, a good nature (probably jolly), ice fang (egg move), perfect iv’s, careful ev training, and intimidate (because it’s not rivalry). Of all of those ice fang is probably the most important, with not rivalry being a relatively close second. That said, still a fun run to listen to:)

Out of all the Pokémon runners, MDB has my favorite commentary. But about strategy, he has a lot of room for improvement… I also believe that he should restart until he has a decent starter.

I remember taking this challenge on a couple of years ago and getting through the Elite 4 and even beating Cynthia. I guess Intimidate is just far better than Rivalry.

I wonder if you get a specific shinx with IVs to get you an ice type hidden power along with a special attack nature that doesn't hit you speed. Trying a special route might help in areas with ground types. Still enjoyed the video!

I wondered the same thing myself and tested it over the past couple days. Short answer, with HP-Ice and optimal EVs, a max level Shinx can OHKO sweep the entire Elite Four.

Intimidate allows swagger to be a viable option for confusing enemies. This run was doomed just because of his ability. I think with enough tries and a level 100 he stood a better chance to make it to the end

If only Ice Fang wasn't an egg move... Also, I'm surprised you didn't reset at least once, because between its nature and ability you handicapped yourself with one of the worst Shinx you possibly could.

Shinx is the most adorable electric type so I forgive it for having a bad time (I always name mine Luna Luna - guess the reference). REALLY should have reset for Intimidate though. Re: why Bite/Crunch is dark: dark type moves are thematically supposed to be tricky or underhanded, like Sucker Punch, Beat Up and Foul Play. Biting somebody in a fight is pretty underhanded I'd say.

the shinx line is done so painfully wrong. Luxray being pure electric instead of electric dark, the complete lack of a moveset, having to go to egg moves for ice and fire fang. at least those are TMs in later games, but they really hit the ground at a very meandering pace here.

I generally only watch Kanto and Johto videos, but I absolutely love Shinx so I had to watch this. I’ve been playing a D&D-like Pokémon RPG and chose Shinx as my starter. I commissioned “me+realistic Pokémon” artwork and Luxray was one of the Pokémon in it. I’m getting one for my cat too and Shinx will be in that one.

It's such a minor thing, but I am surprised you chose Thunder Fang over Spark. I guess the flinch chance was worth the drop in accuracy and paralysis chance to you, which is valid. It's honestly not a huge difference either way, I just favor Spark, myself for those factors and PP. Still, flinch is a very useful effect, especially if they already are paralyzed.

Honestly, this run needs some CRAZY optimization for it to be feasible. I'm talking perfect IVs, optimal EVs, Intimidate instead of Rivalry, and probably the move Magnet Rise for this to even be potentially successful. I'm seeing a mixed moveset that contains Tbolt/Crunch or Return/Magnet Rise/Hidden Power Ice with a Rash or Naughty nature, with the held item being flexible depending on who you're facing (Magnet for Crasher Wake, Nevermeltice for the plethora of ground types, etc.) Even with all that, however, I'd still predict that you'd have to get lucky against Cynthia's ridiculous team, if it's even doable in the first place! Good run MDB, looking forward to the next one!

A suggestion for the future, if there's a single horrible roadblock such as Steelix in a fight the move Natural Gift can give you a single super-strong attack. I did a Jynx run and that was pretty much the only way I beat Aaron's Scizor. As for actually winning with Shinx... can't help you there, that pokemon is just horrific.

I agree with the other comments saying that Rivalry was hindering Shinx more than it was helping for most fights. The only other thing I can think of is maxing Shinx's IVs at the start bc that Shinx wasn't great all things considered. The challenge is going to be rough regardless of any Stat/Ability changes, but would love to see another attempt!
