Why Speedrunners Use Shuckle to Break Pokemon Soul Silver

[@nutmegdoesstuff1339]

Ridiculously high level wild magicarps are the best thing in pokemon and I hope they start doing it again.

[@zdelrod829]

*Laughs in Platinum Resort Area*

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

They should add a route with level 100 magikarps. Not 99, 100. So you can never evolve them

[@nutmegdoesstuff1339]

@@ENCHANTMEN_ Actually you can give level 100 pokemon a rare candy to still evolve them, pretty sure they added that in gen 8 iirc.

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

@@nutmegdoesstuff1339 lame

[@xreamed]

@@ENCHANTMEN_ I can see why some would dislike this but, I think it's need when mons get new evos. For instance, if someone had a level 100 Dunsparce, it'd kinda suck if they couldn't evolve it after moving it to gen 9 just because the evo didn't exist before.

[@Mrnotpib]

I’m glad you don’t ask “why speedrunners use Shuckle” but “How speedrunners use Shuckle.” They don’t get asked that enough.

[@zdelrod829]

They always ask Why Shuckle. They never ask How is Shuckle.

[@abderianagelast7868]

When I first read the title, I thought Shuckle was somehow going to sweep the entirety of Red's team thanks to some sort of programming oversight or something crazy like that. While certainly disappointing to learn that wasn't the case, it's still a cool video, I enjoyed it a lot! The editing was tight, I really appreciated that!

[@PulseEffects]

There is something somewhat similar to that, but that's a topic for a future video. 😉

[@leaffinite2001]

I thought somehow they were beating pokemon red with shuckle. Lmao

[@Alexander_Grant]

That's a wild piece of trivia.

i was just about to say this thankfully i read the comments before i did

[@funforall9741]

That is accurate

[@maxspecs]

People call modern Pokemon games buggy, but I say it wouldn’t be a Pokemon game without bugs. They’re great for dealing with psychics and dark users.

[@gnammyhamster9554]

The problem with new pokemon games is that you don't need 10 years of research to find the bugs

[@Cr102y]

Yeah but there is a difference between having bugs that can be exploited and being buggy. The older games aren’t broken.

[@braydengraves4655]

I don't see why everyone complains about the bugs, grab a flying type and you can deal with them just fine. 😀

[@dswrabkln4900]

Yeah, I don't buy this. I sunk hundreds of hours into HeartGold and Platinum without ever encountering a glitch, you have to make a conscious effort to trigger them. Huge performance issues and clipping through the world are not at all uncommon in Scarlet/Violet, meanwhile. They're Gen 1 levels of broken.

[@maxspecs]

@@dswrabkln4900 Have you tried headbutting trees? Bugs love to hide in them in that game. I remember one time I was looking for Heracross and suddenly I got trapped in the level geometry.

[@renownerd.276]

"Someone as weak as shuckle." Shuckle can do the most damage in the game, or at least could until the latest generation. How dare you!

What's up with all these gym leaders lying about leaving their spot!? Rude. This was a really well written video Pulse, much enjoyed🥰

[@imbadatgames568]

I was half expecting shuckle to just sweep the team

[@multiagustin2]

Interesting video man! Also fun fact: All the sprites used in the video for showing female gyarados were actually male. Females have completely white barbels (the fish moustache). Hoping to see more!

[@LB-gj7bt]

this is the exact kind of content i come to this channel for, great vidoe

[@cameronbartlett856]

"You don't Fuckle with Shuckle!"

[@TheSprinkler]

I thought this was talking about beating red version with a shuckle at first

[@SeanTran117]

10:30 gyarados got bitten so hard his gender changed, lol 😂

[@tylerd1297]

I've heard Keizaron say before that Toto actually beats Sprout Tower faster to some degree, bc of Cyndaquil not getting Ember until lv 10. Think it has more to due with the nerfs to Rage, Fury Cutter.

[@FireBlindStudios]

this is some really good speedrunning content

[@eleviathan4621]

If you get a male gyarados, would getting dragon dance from the move relearner be worth it? Raise attack and speed at the same time.

[@Alb410]

"most badge checks don't actually work" Pokemon S/V: Heh. One step forwards and a million steps back, but OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED!

[@zigazav1]

Hence "most"

"as weak as Shuckle"?! You'll regret to fuckle with Shuckle

[@BiakSkull]

Duuuude ive done that underground glitch on accident. Honestly thought my game was fucking busted or some shit

[@BluishGreenPro]

Definitely a neat showcase of the route, but I was really expecting this to be an Alt Main run or something crazy

SHUCKLE GOD!

[@sagacious03]

9:41 Constrict actually has 10 base power, not 35. But considering Shuckle has like, the 3rd lowest ATK stat in the FRANCHISE (& it's level 20 vs Level 88.), it's not that big a difference; Constrict is still completely unusable. Heck, even with a better species & level it's almost certainly an awful choice! Sorry for any bother. Anyway, neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

[@zigazav1]

Constrict's name is misleading, sounds powerful, but in truth it's a Move so weak, even Tackle is a better alternative, the Move many players replace with something better as soon as possible

[@yourlocalterrariamage2046]

Whenever I tried doing this, after beating Pikachu, red would always send out Venusaur. Am I doing something wrong?

[@shironasama0445]

I laughed at the Clefairy WTF BOOM

[@joshuamason8992]

did the vid explain why it had to be a shuckle?

[@Gfious]

I believe it's because shuckle is always guaranteed (no need to waste time looking for one) and because the stats/nature thing he mentioned. You might be able to bait quick attack with another pokemon with encore, but since you might waste time looking for one rather than receiving one for free, it ends up being preferable.

i never new HGSS was so buggy LMAO

[@YTG99]

I don't understand; Tweaking was an oversight in D/P and then "slightly patched" in Platinum. You were stuck when trying to move, making Tweaking basically useless. Why is it then possible AGAIN in a game that was released AFTER?

[@MrLump]

The games were just that broken that it would’ve cost too much for something barely anyone would have bikes into

[@danielpruitt8550]

[@leifalley7167]

had me really confused for a second. when the title said "beat red" I thought you meant the game red not the person red. i was like "uhhh how did you beat the game with shuckle when he *doesnt exists yet*?" lol

I was so confused by the title at first, thinking you meant Pokémon Red not Trainer Red.

[@PulseEffects]

I will usually try to title my videos as "Pokemon Red" instead of just "Red" if that helps a bit haha. It was just hard to fit a Pokemon title in this one. I'll definitely keep this in mind for future titles though!

[@SquishyOfCinder]

@@PulseEffects Nono it is good clickbait, not false, just confusing :P

[@bamweasel]

@@PulseEffects might I suggest “How HGSS speed runners “ etc? That way it’s clear it’s the trainer Red. I had the same confusion lol.

[@DJFracus]

technically you could program Shuckle into Pokemon Red with Arbitrary Code Execution and then beat the game with it

Shuckle is not meant to attack. It is a utility pokemon. Comes in handy every now and again, don't it?

Can't you use a Chilean berry on shuckle to always live quick attack or would the AI know you have it?
