17:12 a story about a Guard Spec? MDB, have you forgotten about your own Voltorb run? Giovanni was a nightmare for you in the last gym because his Guard Specs stopped you from using Screech, and you kept running out of PP for your non-Electric moves as a result!

OMG, the guard spec story I'm still trying to get every gold symbol in emerald frontier battles, and the last pokemon I added to the team was a curselax. I had to level up until lvl 85, so I used the elite four many times. By the way, with fully HP + SP Def EV train, starting at level 38 I was able to win :-p You know the mightyena on Sydney likes to spam sand attack, and I needed at least a double boost by curse to overcome the trainer at that level. Guard Spec is magic there, the AI does not understand that you are safe from that attack XD

In the first 3 generations the AI is stupid, it is clumsy, and it only makes random attacks, but I think that if you go with a Pokémon with white smoke I think I still do not read that you have immunity to the sandatack, or someone with keen eye, I think that from the 4th generation they do things differently, but these games are not like the final fantasy, being it was thinking for children.

Odd story, but I used to have an emulator on my DS and play Pokémon Yellow. For some reason, the version of the game my dad got me didn't work in the sense that if I caught a Pokémon and saw it's Pokémon entry, it would just go blank? That meant that I could only have Pikachu, the three starters, hitmonlee or hitmonchan, and so on. In a way, I kind of already did this challenge when I was a wee little boy. 🤣

I was actually the first challenge runner to do a gift pokemon only run and they quickly became my most watched videos by far. I have you to thank for that in a way, as I probably wouldn't have thought to do a run like that otherwise, as pretty much everyone was doing solo runs exclusively. Seeing you do a gift pokemon run is kind of surreal to me, but in the best way possible! Thanks again for what you've contributed to the challenge running community :)

20:50 Finally a recent video where you mention this XD Alright, so for the Normal/Fly distinction I can explain that one for you. Without going too deep into lore and speculation. Every move of Pokemon has an aura effect about it radiating energy of that "element" (for lack of a better word). In many cases it is this energy striking the target rather than the physical object. The exception to this is Normal and Fighting. What makes a Normal type normal is the lack of energy influence. This is why Normal Typing has no strengths or weaknesses, it is the physical object making contact. Fighting type moves similarly are the expression of Martial form. It has a small amount of energy (Chi effectively) but taken from the natural form (thus it's interaction with other types), however as it is still fundamentally applying a direct physical impact Ghosts can still phase through it. The existence of Chi gives Ghosts something to interact with which is why Ghost can harm Fighting types. Flying goes back to the "Element" thing I mentioned earlier. While a normal peck would pass through a ghost, the move "Peck" is a name given to a small gathering of Fly type energy focused at the tip of the beak. This is also why we have things like Whooper using Ice Punch, and Doduo using fly.

I suggest a Red/Blue run with only Magmar. If you look at its move list you’ll understand why. If you want throw in no Tms for added challenge I’m pretty sure magmar would have one of the highest base stat totals for a mon in a single run that you’ve done so far.

@Medabee8 2 жыл бұрын

You've commented this b4

@MelloxMaster 2 жыл бұрын

Magmar would be a bit boring and eventually not that hard. Its TM move pool includes Psychic, Body Slam, Mega Punch, Hyper Beam and since it doesn't learn anything until lvl 36 for Leer, lvl 39 Confuse Ray and lvl 43 for Fire Punch, MDB would just have to grind levels and only use Ember and Mega Punch most of the run until then. So it would just be lvl 20 Magmar to defeat Brock, probably 30ish to defeat Misty and then after that the run would slowly become a breeze, though Lorelei would pose potential problems.

While I was playing through Pokemon emerald i was battling archie in the first turn misclicked and used gaurd spec instead of x attack and it really saved me as his mightiyana kept on spamming sand attack and failed and sharpedo kept on spamming scary face. In the last turn while my swampert was in red hp i outspead the sharpedo and finished off the battle. This one is important because i was trying beat the game with just my starter and if i lose a single battle i lose the challenge.

Fun fact about when Guard spec is helpful - for the algorithm, ofc: Guard spec is used in Alpha Sapphire + Omega Ruby any% speedruns. Without it, the team Aqua/Magma leader is going to lower your stats when you try to set up. If they don't lower your stats however, they use Embargo instead, which means you can not set up anyway. GLHF with that!

Guard spec is useful in challenge runs that allow items against teams with intimidate. For example, gen 3 venusaur champion has gyarados and aracanine with it. In a nuzlocke you can get an easy win setting up dragon dances with a gyarados against pidgeot and then using guard spec before sweeping.

Here's my Guard Spec story. I speedrun most Pokemon games, and in Gold we use a Guard Spec for the final fight vs Red. At that point we have a lvl 62 Feraligatr and he leads with Pikachu. Thunder doesn't oneshot, so he has a 75% chance to use charm on any turn that we havent attacked yet. We use a guard spec turn one, set up our x attacks and x speed and with some luck we win the fight with Pikachu never landing a hit. The guard spec protects us from all the Charm attack drops

"Gen 1 sleep sucks" True, but if you have the flute, you just use it on the very first turn that your pokemon is sleeping and gg (specially cause if it wakes up, they don't attack, so the flute always the best solution)

This was a really enjoyable video! :D I absolutely loved it. Also, I do play pokemon, but I could not tell you what a guard spec even does lmao. I uh-- I don't use it a lot lmao I'm gonna guess it increases defence? xD

Not only do I love Mah Dry's channel because of the great content, but also because he is genuinely a really good/ nice guy!

You should totally try a Radical Red playthrough. Super tough game but you’ve played enough Pokémon to where you shouldn’t have any issues, it’s super satisfying to go through the game with all the improvements

I have to say that I really respect this! Promoting some small channels and giving them a chance to gain few more views this way! Too bad that I missed the opportunity for not having a twitter, but it's not like I would have been lucky enough to get picked anyways.

Mankey and Primape are legit my favorite fighting type Pokemon. I just love their angry furrball design. And the nose poking out it's just the cherry on top.

I actually did this challenge run a few years ago before I knew what challenge runs really were, it's not particularly hard but it was a fun one. Good to break things up with something more chill.

I love this video! Thank you MDB! I really dislike Charmelions white “horn” in gen one. I did however love remembering the first gen “remake.” Crystal is probably my favorite game since gen two added so much to the world of Pokémon at the time.

Holy crap, I actually did Pokemon Gold with only Primeape last year. Primeape snaps Gold like a twig, so I'm sure that Mankey can handle it, although I never did Kanto, so that'll be interesting for me. As for this run, it was kinda neat to see the starters again, I'm so used to them getting replaced that it was nice to see some of them used. Also, dang, Aerodactyl is really good, I forgot it even existed.

Commenting before you get to far in the video. I used to do only gift Pokemon in Yellow when I was a kid (and thought you had to have 6 Pokemon to get to the Elite Four). My favorite team at the Elite Four was Pikachu, Venasaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Hitmonlee, and Aerodactyl. Can't wait to see what team you end up with!

Great run, awesome names! :D I play my yellow runs always with mostly just gift pokemon. Pikachu, the three starters, Evee (Jolteon), and Nidoking or Pidgeot.

All I have to say is holy crap thanks for the shoutout on a day like today you reenergized me for the last few hours of my shift while in the car delivering pizzas. Did not see it coming and when I heard it I was like holy shit. Coincidently my birthday was this past Wednesday and this was a nice touch to the weekend.
