This has been a titanic clash! The Best Pokemon with its WORST moves versus the WORST Pokemon with the game's BEST moves will go down for the ages, as we decide once and for all whether stats are most important, or if moves trump statistics. But this time, they're both SLOW!

[@DoctorNovakaine]

Using that one Rare Candy in the Blaine fight makes all the sense in the world in context, but I'm kind of giggling over what it would sound like to someone who had no clue what was going on. "We're going to level up here so that we don't level up here."

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Yeah, clearly I gave the best explanation in history 😂

[@braxior112]

That was an intriguing run. It just goes to show how powerful sleep status is in Gen 1 plus badge boost.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Ph yeah, sleep and bbg are tough, but bad speed is still really bad at the end of the day

[@guildmasterri5995]

I really loved this video, your channel is so underrated wishing for your best ❤❤

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Thank you so much, that is amazing!

[@unwaveringdiscipline5489]

Oh wow this is the geeatest novelty in gen 1 challenge runs i ve ever seen. I m subscribing, assuming more are coming

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Oh yeah! I have lots planned - More type change runs, versus runs, crazy moveset runs, and of course Minimum Battles runs

[@natezuniga-qd7pe]

I woke up too early. This should help me get back to sleep

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Glad to help! Use Rest!

[@natezuniga-qd7pe]

I did. After I used helping hand.

[@12cmercado]

Stringshot was OP in the anime. Took out team rocket single handed

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Stringshot should be a 1hko move, at least if you hit it 6btimes

[@travisalexander6440]

Double Badge Boosting: Gen 1 giveth. 1/256 miss: Gen 1 taketh away.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Fact! Chaderpie failed completely at the end, thanks to the glitchiness of Gen 1 after having exploited it's glitchiness the whole time until then

[@sweetwheatsy]

My guess as to why Snorlax did better than Mewtwo is because all the relevant stats and conditions were better for Snorlax here. Rage is Normal type (so STAB), and Snorlax has better HP for soaking up attacks to increase the power of Rage.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

All true. It's also a case where it's typing still means it rarely takes super effective damage, so it can really utilize it's high HP to survive.

[@shury4260]

Why would you use splash for not allowing struggle strats instead of the much funnier self destruct? I guess hm users could make you win a battle but that would just force you to reset instead of taking the xp so technically self destruct is worse

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

OMG you're right!!!! Plus that would be hilarious 😂

[@bateltheassistant]

This one was hack of a lot of fun, showing an interesting point overall for both pokemon, speed was a major factor in end game, especially for Chaderpie because it needed to bypass it's lack of special,and it shows especially with the champion. Exlax was struggling with the scaling of the mid game as a slow growth rate pokemon,that had to rage for most of the run. I'm glad that gen 1 rage is getting some love😂. That makes me wonder how bad a normal type Gengar would do ? I really liked the splits graphics,it suits overlay style way better than before. Keep it up!😊

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

For sure, I will do my best to keep it going. Normal Gengar sounds nuts 😂. Basically that's Clefable, but sounds legit

[@bateltheassistant]

@@RBYPokemonChallenges Maybe a versus video between the two, would be probably very interesting and funny in a sense 😂.

[@DarKnightKilla13]

Hey man, hope you had a great Easter if you celebrate, and really enjoyed the total show that was your April Fool's joke haha. 'Bout to settle in and watch/catch up, thanks as always for the content!

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Thank you! Hope you had a great Easter as well. Thanks for watching and laughing along with me!

[@joefarrow1599]

1.125^12 = 4, so with the ×4 multiplier from +6 attack you get to 16 times increase from those 12 badge boosts. Then twin needle has effective base power 1200 including stab and all the boosts. That is _wild_

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Yeah, BBG is insane. Together with Sleep it is the single most broken strategy in Gen 1

[@metalmariomega]

I just find the nickname ExLax hilarious for some reason. But yeah this run was hilarous.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

ExLax is second to only MewPoo in the name department

[@OhCrapI_He]

Just got to the 4-minute mark, and I don’t think Caterpie would quite be able to do minimum battles, considering its lower soeed and Twineedle being its only damage-dealing move

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Let's find out

[@pk5727]

My money is in the giant teddy bear, full of fluff.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

There you go!!

[@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303]

Has anyone questioned what a Snorlax is? Is it Pokemon's version of a cat or a bear? I am thinking bear.

[@mrman2557]

totoro

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Bear, 100%

[@contestwill1556]

it's my neighbor totoro

[@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303]

@@RBYPokemonChallenges What animal is Totoro based off of? However, he is obviously a mixture of several animals: tanukis (the Japanese version of raccoons), cats (the pointed ears and the facial expressions), and owls (the chevron markings on their chests and the "ooo"-ing sound they make with their ocarinas at night).

[@Shrikeswind]

Bear if anything, but fun fact, the only thing definitive is that it's a joke about one of the developers, Koji Nishino, who is apparently a big eater and a sleepy boi, so we get this big ol' sleepy bear that eats a lot and gets its (Japanese) name from Koji's nickname: Kirby. Yes, _that_ Kirby.

[@cadencenavigator958]

I like Caterpie a lot more than Snorlax, so I'm rooting for that one.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

I can respect that!

[@cadencenavigator958]

The music cuts out around 1:30:00, not sure why.

[@browncow5210]

Going in and guessing rage carries Exlax. He's actually tanky enough to get it up to decent power. Caterpie with great moves will probably do horribly, just because everything outspeeds and murders the little guy.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Rage iis actually pretty legit on that one. It's not as bad as its reputation unless the opponent use4s accuracy moves.

[@Redmage913]

POWERTHIRST IS CHAD-ERPIE!

[@alexanrsousa]

In hindsight I wonder how much easier Chaderpie's run would be if it had Agility instead of Harden. If it manages to land the first Spore every fight would be almost a guaranteed win oO

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Except the Champion's Flareon, that thing is unkillable 😂

[@skylercroghan6933]

maybe give chaderpie agility over harden so its like doing some speed before a workout lmao

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

That is upcoming. Gigachaderpie 😂

[@kamiotamega5317]

Replace rage with bubble

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Aw yeah!

[@veghesther3204]

Of the 2 I say that Snorlax is still way better but Psywave as a attack sucks for ANY Pokemon that can use it not JUST Snorlax.

[@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303]

Yeah, because it is just a random generated damage attack.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Yeah, but in some cases it's the only decent move. Sand Attack kills Rage users so fast in Gen 1

[@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303]

I never understood how Twinneedle was super effective on poison types. Like in real life, stabbing a snake would be super effective? Well, I guess it could be...

[@Duothimir]

Because it's Bug type and Bug type moves were super effective against Poison types in Gen 1. Poison was also super effective against Bug. It was weird.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Yeah gen 1 type effectiveness is just strange.

Do Chads work out? I thought they just had a pretty face. Probably why my ex left me. :/

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Not sure about basic chads, but Gigachads definitely work out

[@RoninCatholic]

In the original meme, Chad had almost no personality aside from being confident, cheerful, and working out. The "Virgin" was instead a sad lonely guy always slouched over and wearing the dullest clothes he can to blend into the background. Chad was supposed to be an antagonistic strawman but outside audiences felt drawn to his charisma and used him as a shorthand for a man who has the various combinations of positive masculine traits that make men attractive. Muscles and confidence being both more important than handsomeness, which he also has. You don't retain or grow muscles without working out unless you have an _extremely hard_ day job, and also carefully monitor your diet to keep from accidentally getting overweight since your body will beg for more carbs than you need if you're doing physically laborious tasks.
