Doubles it _after DVs and Stat EXP_ no less. Max DVs/StatEXP Alakazam behind Reflect has 376 total defense which is equivalent to base 139. So it's functionally 55/50/139/135/135/120 or 634bst. Basically Toxapex if Toxapex couldn't be hit super-effectively, had the 4th highest speed stat in the game, the 2nd highest special attack, and a 90bp STAB move that has a 30% chance to reduce the opponent's stats by 1 calm mind.

After finally catching a caterpie, I screamed with excitement that I could finally do damage to Brock. Then Caterpie died. After about a year of playing, I finally discovered the Mart and was SUPER happy when I discovered they sold Poke Balls. So I caught 5 pidgeys. Eventually discovered Mankey, caught it, and it learned Low Kick. After 2 years, I finally learned how to get past Snorlax.

@@Ward8668 Looking back, I think it's safe to conclude that I was a slow learner. But even with that in mind, if I was determined to reach my goals (in this case, figure out how to get past this next road block until the game ends), nothing was going to stop me from getting there. As for the team, I didn't know trading was so highly encouraged. We didn't get a link cable until after catching Mewtwo and we figured out how to clone almost immediately after getting one because my brother's GBA died midtrade and I lost my Blastoise and we ended up cloning a fricking Caterpie. We tried to copy the process on a couple of duds just to test it and then we realized we could clone so we cloned Mewtwo. Then we battled. My team and Mewtwo vs my brother's team and his clone of my Mewtwo... He won. We got down to full health Mewtwo vs full health Mewtwo clone and the fricking Mewtwo clone WON on Struggle moves. Holy hydras

Starmie might have issues till it beats LT surge. It only has tackle and watergun. So brocks a breeze but misty wont be, and starmie cant learn dig or body slam so surge will need strategy

for surge the strat is probably skipping him and going to celadon where starmie can pick up exp and learn psychic and icebeam. starmie is very overrated for this series.

Starmie has no chance, before you get Ice Beam every gras type is a huge hurdle and you just aren't quick enough because you need to level up. Even Zubats with Leech Life are problematic, because they do massive damage to you and heal at the same time and you have nothing to really hurt them with.

This run could have been better if he used both psybeam and psychic instead of psychic and teleport in the mid-game.

Starmie will be slow until Celadon. Then it should make up lots of time after adding, psychic, ice beam and surf. It would be interesting though because starmie would easily blitz the rest of the gyms and elite four.

Bruno spends too much time training himself, but you can't fight a ten year old's pokemon with your own bare hands after your first five fall over I guess.

Bruno’s team is so bad. I love Onix, but it has 2 4x weaknesses. Also Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are basically the same, just one is offensive, and one is defensive. Machamp is probably the only real threat. Also his team is slow as shit. Also I’m just adding this for no reason, but I’d replace one of his onix’s in this game with a Primeape. Also you could replace Chuck’s Primeape with Heracross in Johto

@@Beeftitan He said he was 10 minutes ahead of Mewtweo before Erika, 7 minutes after.

It is not 3 minutes lost since he wouldn't be 10 minutes ahead if he did that first, but then again some of the battles would have been way more consistent if he did not forgot about erika

I like Aerodactyl's chances, personally.

I think your right it is far-fetched that he will get the fastest time.

Starmie does have a dual/typing, so it's not the same as Alakazam. The only moves that can hit Kazam for super effective damage in gen 1 are weak AF bug moves like Pin Missile or Twin Needle. Starmie is weak to electric and grass in addition to being weak to bug. So, it's a bit of a trade-off. With Starmie, you get a slightly slower and less powerful special attacker with more type coverage but more weaknesses. With Kazam, you get less type coverage but only on weakness and are faster and hit harder than Starmie does. Technically, ghost moves were supposed to be super effective against psychic types, but it didn't work out that way in gen 1.

@@james_ford86 Although everything you said is accurate - none of it matters. There's no electric or grass pokemon in E4 or in the game that will challenge Starmie. Only concern would be Surge at low levels, but can be skipped and fought at a higher level with minimal time loss. Kazam starts with Confusion. Starmie only has Tackle and Water Gun vs Early Game and specifically Misty's Starmie. That's where Starmie will fall behind, and not be able to catch up despite its superior endgame with Psychic/Blizzard/Thunderbolt/Surf

@@justinpalmier I get what you're saying, but I wasn't referring to just in-game use. I was also including Gen 1 competitive battling. Alakazam was a far superior option to Starmie in that generation. Starmie's not bad, mind you, but Alakazam is faster and hits harder, making it the superior option, especially considering nothing resisted Psychic in Gen 1.

@@james_ford86 The OP was based upon what Pokemon can come close to Mewtwo, so despite your points being accurate, they're irrelevant

@@justinpalmier No they're not. The OP made no such distinction. In fact, Alakazam is the only Psychic pokemon in Gen 1 that even comes close to Mewtwo's level of power. It doesn't matter if we're talking about in-game or competitive battling. Alakazam is faster and hits harder than Starmie, rendering Starmie the inferior Pokemon. Don't get me wrong. Starmie is still good, especially due to its movepool and typing, but it's not in the same class as Alakazam or Mewtwo, especially in Gen 1.

It's pointless to even think about it, because you're trying to think of a strategy to beat a time that was not at all optimized. Alakazam would never beat Mewtwo because they are both the same type, except Mewtwo has the better stats in every category & movepool. It's just common sense that there's no way Alakazam would ever beat Mewtwo unless it was done intentionally.

@@randumo24 Alakazam gets Dig, whereas Mewtwo does not. I'm not sure if Dig is allowed on a HM slave in this challenge (HM slaves obviously mandatory for progress but not usable in any other way is my understanding) but if it is not then that is the one major advantage Alakazam can have. I won't pretend to know if that's enough or even close but overworld Dig can save a looooooooooot of time. So it is worth at least some modicum of consideration :)

@@randumo24 your smug comment doesn't account for the fact that Alakazam is in a faster experience group than Mewtwo, and the fact that dig saves a lot of time when exiting caves/buildings.

@@Sonicfan640 Lol, being a slightly higher level doesn't put it at actually higher stats. Not to mention, the sheer move diversity has Mewtwo with far more OHKOs. It's not a smug comment, it's a fact. He did a playthrough where he actually tried to do it fast with Mewtwo and did it in under 2 hours lol. The reason it even took the time it did in the first video was because of the insistence of pure minimum battles and no rare candies. Also, both parties have dig moron.

@@feanorn8409 it resists misty itself though - so I think Surge is likely to be the only issue

@@NathanRhysGeorge Even then, you can put off Surge until later.

Usually the issue with time loss on some great pokemon is an inability to beat Brock and Misty early on due to bad level up movesets; Starmie does start with water gun, so Brock won’t be a problem. But Misty is gonna be a blockade cuz you don’t get access to most of the good TMs til after her

Metronome is too unreliable for Brock. Resetting over and over to get the right moves is like reseting over and over hoping for critical hits. A luck based strategy is never any good.

Normally, I'd agree with you that a luck based strategy is not ideal. That being said however, there are so many water and grass type moves in the game that it's hard not to win against Brock after resetting like only 4-5 times.

Except you can't do that. Alakazam never gets Ice Beam, nor does it get the Elemental punches in generation I, when this playthrough takes place. Outside of Psychic, Psybeam, Confusion, and Psywave, Alakazam literally learns no other damaging special moves in R/B/Y. It gets access to some physical moves, like Mega Punch, Mega Kick, Body Slam, Take Down, Double-Edge, Hyper Beam, Submission, Counter, Seismic Toss, Skull Bash, and Tri Attack, but Alakazam's awful ATK stat renders most of these moves, except for Counter and Seismic Toss, useless. Alakazam doesn't get access to the Elemental Punches until Gen II. Jrose's strategy was correct for the generation it was played in.

@@james_ford86 I agree, I noticed my mistake when going back on an actual safe file. Indeed, tri attack still is physical and the punches aren't tm yet but only learned by hitmonlee's brother. The ice beam can be taught by tm or blizzard or something along those lines but it s rather pointless to aim for alakazam to these attacks. Dream eater works with hypnosis but is no better than any of the classic psychic moves it learns, the healing absorbtion does very little for an alakazam.

@@fredericschatz5379 A few things you're still incorrect about: 1. Alakazam does NOT have, nor has it ever had, access to the move Ice Beam, whether we're talking via level-up or TM. Sure, Ice Beam is a TM in most generations, but Alakazam couldn't learn it, even if you tried to use that TM on it. So, talking about Ice Beam in relation to an Alakazam moveset in any generation is a moot point, as it cannot learn the move. It can't learn it via level-up, TM, or breeding. Please reference Bulbapedia if you need proof. 2. While Alakazam does get access to Dream Eater, it does NOT get access to Hypnosis or any other sleep inducing move. So, yeah, teaching Dream Eater would be pointless for Alakazam, especially considering it already has a reliable health restoring move in Recover, but also because it doesn't have a way to put the opponent to sleep in the first place. In order to use Dream Eater on Alakazam, you'd first have to put the opponent to sleep with a different Pokemon, then swap to Alakazam and pray the opponent stays asleep. That said, if these conditions were met, due to Alakazam's massive special attack, Dream Eater would do a lot of damage and probably restore almost as much, if not more, health as Recover does, depending on the opponent it's used on.

@@james_ford86 good one. :) hypno /drowzee is the actual intended user of dream eater, but it's also very commonly used on Gengar. Indeed you do know your way around in these things. :) very glad to see.
