This one has been in the works since last year but we ask one simple question: Could Slaking without Truant dominate generation 1 like no other Pokemon can. The competition is steep and Mewtwo has set the bar high for these runs, but let's see how it plays out.

►I can only use the title Pokemon in battle. No switching at all, HM Pokemon are required.
►No use of items in battle. Potions, TMs, etc. are allowed outside of battle.
►No use of skips/exploits. This includes the Pokedoll Marowak skip. Badge boost is unavoidable.
►The TMs for Double Team and Toxic are banned. Pokemon that learn similar moves naturally are allowed to use it but not the TM.
►I play on x3 speed and use the in-game time for the run along with resets to rank these runs.

It just came from several tests. I tried early and I guess technically you could just reset the whole run over and over until it gets passed but it's a HIGH chance to fail. I'd like to at least be able to consistently get a battle started but lots of great Pokemon gotta pick up optionals early.

It was a speed tie, that’s why I went for the less risky punishment opening and it worked out. Hammer Arm can’t one shot and I got a crit to take him down there but you have to soften it up a little. The extra levels also push you to damage rounding to get to mega punch a little faster. I tested alot and did 4 full runs on top of that. This was the only feasible way to get sub 2 hours that I saw.

Goodra might be able to beat Mewtwo. Nearly the same special, good mixed stats, can brute force a lot of fights quickly with Outrage. It's a multi turn move, meaning you have less to click through and because it's neutral on almost everything, you skip the "It's super effective!" text box. White Kyurem has an even higher special, fantastic bulk and starts with Dragon Rage, meaning it could possibly also brute force a lot of fights. 120 Base Attack and access to Slash also lets it shred through the psychic types in the midgame.

The lazy Muppet gets his act together and beats face, that's what. Cool back sprite. :D I've played Gen 3 the least, but I like the concept of Slaking being incredibly strong, only nerfed by skipping every other turn. That Saffron speed skip was also cool to learn, I would've never considered that proc of getting the city as a Fly spot. With the bronze medal for cross-gen runs, I'd say this dad bod sloth has been proven to be a #realone.

It was pretty good. That Mewtwo bar is set pretty high! There's also a ton of little things like that I try to pick over in every video.

@GymLeaderMatt1987
@GymLeaderMatt1987 11 ай бұрын
It's a good move but I think it's a little too cautious and safe to say there's a huge difference between 90% accuracy and 99.6~ accuracy. There's numbers to back up why but things like the Golbat range just add up to save you a little time. I guess it's just personal preference to if an extra 25 base power is worth only hitting 9 out of 10 times but Blizzard is probably the best damaging move in gen 1. There's a reason it was nerfed in gen 2!

Real one! I loved the muppet back sprite. Slaking did about as well as I imagined without Truant holding it back.

Pleased to see that Alolan ninetails beat Mewtwo -- for some reason I'm gravitating towards Vulpix and Ninetails being my favorite pokemon (yeah, the bog standard versions aren't super good, but I like an underdog story, and LOVE the astetics of thos guys). Though Alolan Ninetails was to be expected in the end due to an extremely good typing plus excellent initial movelist and overall excellent learn set.

Yea it’s hard to get over the Mewtwo bar. It’s slow leveling group holds it back but for a vanilla run, hardly anything past, future, or present can get can get close.

Every time I remember Slaking in Generation I I think about an old Smogon article about bad Pokemon in Gen I, and how good Slaking would be competitively. This always fakes me out into thinking it learns Slash outside of Egg moves XD. Sadly Slash is Egg Move only but one of these days I want to do that run myself, just to see the sheer raw power that Slaking's Slash would have to its back. This was still a super good run though. I know a lot of people want to see Regigigas in all of its glory, but you know what I want to see? I want to see the true titan among the golems. I want to see the Chansey rule stretched to its absolute limit. I want to see that 200 Special with Amnesia and BoltBeam. Will 50 base Speed hold it in check? Who knows, but I really want to see Regice tear through this game. As always, real one.

36 is a little late but it could be solid. It might be a while before I get to it though. I try to do the cross gen runs more sparingly since the summer and not ‘force’ myself to do much since it’s just a hobby and burnout is a bitch.
