[@matttypes2695]

In Gen II, OHKO moves automatically fail if the target has a higher level than the user. Their accuracy starts at 76/256 (approximately 30%) and increases by 2/256 (approximately 0.8%) for each level the user is above the target. This means that if the user's level is 90 levels greater than the target's, the move will have 100% accuracy. An X Accuracy will guarantee that all OHKO moves hit. The accuracy of OHKO moves in Generation II is affected by the standard accuracy and evasion stats.

[@Alienldr]

I did know that an X Accuracy made OHKO moves in Gen 1 100% accuracy. I didn't know in Gen 2 though.

A 70 power Hidden Power with STAB comes out to 105 BP, which is slightly stronger than a maxed out Return's 102.

I used Gligar in my first Crystal Nuzlocke. The lack of STAB moves is very annoying at first, but I ended up giving him a pretty spicy little stall moveset. Toxic, Sandstorm, and Double Team while holding Leftovers allows Gligar to 1v1 anything that doesn't have a strong Ice or Water move, and Guillotine is there in case you want to kill something in one turn instead of five or six.

[@derrickscott1630]

[@shadowtitanx3962]

Ah yes. Gligar. Another forgotten Pokemon before it gained an evolution. And, another “Venomoth” in the list. You think it is Poison/Flying at first glance. But, nope. Ground/Flying. Granted, they are pseudo Poison type nowadays that both Gligar and Gliscor are “immune” to Poison thanks to their Hidden Abilities. Speaking of which, both Gligar and Gliscor are annoying walls. With the former being immune to Toxic and pack beeeg bulk thanks to Eviolite, while the latter is one of the most annoying stall machines in the series that isn’t even Chansey levels of bulk (Granted, Gliscor can be an offensive menace at the same time).

[@james_ford86]

Yeah, but if you're like me, and always carry at least one Pokemon with a powerful Ice attack in its moveset, Gligar and Gliscor are no problem.

[@roryrevolution2348]

I swear to this day, I have no idea what Gamefreak were thinking when they introduced new Pokemon in Gen 2 and either gave them no stab moves or their typing did not stack up to their stats. Gen 3 did introduce some better moves but imo it wasn't until Gen 4 when it finally started looking up for many pokemon. Loving your content btw!

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Return is more powerful than Hidden Power Ground in neutrally effective situations until after I have defeated Blue. Whitney's badge gives a 12.5% boost to normal type attacks: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Badge#Stat_boost (The badge boost that increases ground attacks power is the Earthbadge, given by Blue.) Also, I will change to gee-uh-teen in the future to vibe with my French heritage and the French-Canadian part of Canada. Plus, it makes sense to pronounce it according to the intended pronunciation.

Haha so true. I was convinced it would learn them when I was planning to do this run. As I sat down to make the overlay I started to get worried...

If I recall, renaming it "Feint Attack" makes sense, since a description of the move in RSE is "Draws the foe close, then strikes without fail." And the word "feint" is a term meaning to distract or mislead. All that said, great video! Still waiting for Slowbro vs Slowking. Request #4
