Universal Pokémon Randomizer Changed Evos: pokehacks.dabomstew.com/rando...
Chat/Comment Guidelines:
1: Respect each other, do not intentionally cause arguments and diffuse the situation immediately.
2: Please no backseat gaming. If I need help, I will ask the chat for help. A lot of the fun for myself and the viewers is coming up with the strategies on my own and solving problems in my own unique way.
3: Listen to the streamer. If I say stop, I mean stop, and move the discussion on.
4: Please don't reference other creators' in-jokes and running gags on my stream. Just as much as I wouldn't like another creator using my lore, I would find it disrespectful to use other creators' lore.
5: Moderators' and streamer's decisions are final.
The Rules:
1: The timer starts when walking away from Professor Elm after receiving the starter Pokémon.
2: Only the Challenge Pokémon may participate in battle.
3: No items in battle, except Balls from the bag.
4: No evasion-increasing TMs, and no Rest and Sleep Talk TMs until every other option has been exhausted.
5: No intentional uses of glitches or exploits, except the Teleport glitch after the SS Aqua.
6: No Rare Candies until facing Red. Rare Candies will be used in a 3-3-4 pattern.
7: Timer may be paused for breaks in recording, but no inputs may be made when the timer is paused.
8: Save states are permitted in the overworld, but no save states may be used mid-battle.
9: If the challenge Pokémon faints, the previous save state must be reloaded and progress regained.

It has always annoyed me that psyduck is not a psychic type, and yet has early access to a psychic move, but does not have access to a water type move as a water type until lv 50 😂

Psychic is really the only GOOD Psychic type attack good for the entire game too bad even in Gen 1 Psyduck never actually LEARNS it as a lv up move and in Crystal theirs no TM for it.

That I'm not sure since Psychic as a TM FOR FREE doesn't exist so the CASINO Token COST is like 3500 in a Pokemon game where playing ANY OF its Casino mini games is NOT worth it. Besides Golduck in Gen 2 can't even USE the TM for Psychic it ONLY gets it RANDOMLY via hatching it out of a EGG and confusion and its ONLY psychic type of attack by games end SUCKS unless its Kadabra/Alakazam that's still using it.

Water types in Gen 2 had a really easy time: Surf before the 4th gym, ice punch potentially, return/headbutt, no electric/grass gym leader in Johto, & the biggest challenge is often the rival's starter

So for that falkner battle the two fights were identical besides the critical hit on the pidgey. The only thing I can think of is that there’s some ai quirk that gives falkner a chance of using mud slap as a control move rather than a damage move. There was probably a chance that he’d use either tackle for damage or mud slap for control there.

AAAA I've been waiting so long for this run! I loooove Psyduck. Anyway, the reason Falkner's AI chose Mud Slap is because you disabled his highest-damaging move, Gust. The part of the AI that checks which move does the most damage is a bit buggy and doesn't check if the move is actually usable, resulting in all of his (usable) moves having the same priority. As a result, he'll pick a random move.

It's a tough call which one is my fav, I haven't yet watched every run, but I'm a fan of dichotomy and my favs are your Porygon2 and Shuckle runs. I started watching your channel after Kangaskhan was already at the top of the leader board, so it was exciting to watch a pokemon do it even faster. And Shuckle was just interesting and fun. Did his best, gave Magcargo some company, it was a good one! My very first Crystal solo run was Golduck, and while I was super slow, it was still so so fun to try! I also struggled with the Whitney fight and had to grind some levels. I finished the run at level 68 with Surf, Protect, Ice Punch, and Dynamic Punch (which was a lucky two hits in a row against Snorlax and Blastoise!) and holding Leftovers. I use the same Universal Pokemon Randomizer, but I haven't figured out how to change the IVs to get the right hidden power typings. How are you able to start with the right IVs for the right HP type?

I doubt this will mean anything given how you probably select Pokemon, but... You should definitely do Starmie next. If Golduck does this well, Starmie should absolutely plow through the game with it's insane coverage of Surf, Ice Beam, TBolt, Psychic, and Hidden Power (maybe Grass or Dark?)
