Reacting to MandJTV's Castform Run That I Was In

SUBSCRIBE: ➡️ bit.ly/pokemen7_plays ⬅️
Today I'm reacting to MandJTV's video Can You Beat Pokemon ORAS With ONLY Castform? This Castform only run was actually something I did alongside Mikey on stream a while back, but we never finished the project together. He eventually finished the run himself and made it into a video and I thought it was about time to finally watch it! If you enjoyed this video make sure to check out MandJTV, subscribe to my channel, and let me know what I should react to next!
Thank you to MandJTV for letting me react to his video!

50:18 I personally did the calculations, it's surprisingly remarkable. At HIS full health, a max damage (not a critical hit) roll lands at 99%. At 126 HP (57%) WITHOUT tough claws & +1Attack boost Castform (Lv. 71) survives giga impact from Metagross before receiving it's boosts from mega evolution. However without the 84 HP EV's he picks up along the journey using the SAME calculations, he does not survive at 57% health. And on top of all that, without the sun, flamethrower does only around 50-ish% to Steven's (Lv. 59) mega-Metagross! Kudos Michael for the smart/clutch heal, the "poke-math" seems to heavily support your decision!!

It's not that Chip Away can't ever miss like Aerial Ace, it has a normal 100% chance to hit and ignores an opponent's Evasion boosts like Sacred Sword. Accuracy drops on the user can still make those two moves miss a target.

See I was very smart with my Kyogre. i managed to get O-Power catch level 3 up just before entering that low chamber so that when I started the fight with Kyogre it still has a little time left on the clock. It made catching Kyogre (with a Net Ball btw) MUCH easier.

I always wonder what was what the future of the region looks like. Someone walks up to the Pokemon League, they've just gotten past the victory road and are about to face the Pokemon League. They walk in defeat all of the elite four members battle hardened their team scuffed up, battered, and bruised from the previous elite four members. This is their final challenge the champion of the entire region. They walk in expecting a fierce opponent. Then find out... The champion is a guy with a Castform. Literally no other Pokemon, just castform. Yeah sure, he's got a legendary and some random zigzagoon in a box somewhere. But his entire team is literally just one castform. No other Pokemon just castform. Honestly by that point I wouldn't know whether to drop to the floor and start laugh hysterically, or be absolutely terrified that this guy became champion with a castform and no other Pokemon.
