Fun fact: moves like steamroller and stomp doubles in power if the opponent used minimizes

I am so pleased to see you doing Gen 2 runs. The nostalgia hits hard. Fun fact: your mom doesn't actually spend your money when you ask her to save it. The stuff she "buys" are just gifts that you receive when you hit a certain threshold of money saved.

Spongebob: Oh no Mr. Krabs, she's single. Mr. Krabs: Then what happened to Mr. Puff? Karen, petting her Umbreon: She doesn't like to talk about it. 🤷‍♀️

14:40 Btw If the target has used Minimize, Stomp deals double damage. It should also ignore accuracy but in Gen 2-5 this doesn't happen. So yeah minimise was not a good idea against miltank lol.

Lol, when you use Minimize stomp does double damage. Similar to how when you use Fly and Thunder becomes 100% accurate, Earthquake doing double damage on Dig users etc.

The usefulness of spikes increases dramatically for each additional pokemon the AI has.

that Venomoth type edit at 23:05 was pretty amazing, but I'm not going to be fooled - Venomoth didn't get it's fairy typing until Gen Vi, at this point it was still a Poison/Psychic type

"Qwilfish deserves some love" Controversial decision to make a video where you create a Tinder profile for Qwilfish and spend 40 minutes swiping, but I support it! Hope you don't get catfished!

"Quilfish is easily forgotten" Remoraid: they don't even remember me enough to know they forgot :(. Only known for Mantine really.

Treeckos final evolution actually is a mono grass type. At least unless you count mega evolutions.

So glad someone finally remembers that Venomoth is grass / flying! People always mistype this pokemon and it frustrates me to no end.

Love how quick this content is coming 👌. Props man you’re putting the work in

stomp does more damage when you use minimize.

Im glad to see you putting more and more personality into these videos its great to see you really finding your stride with these videos

scott: scoffs at spikes qwilfish competitive g&s qwilfish: 0-0

Lol that edit on Venomoth's typing when you showed Koga's team!

actually I'm pretty sure venemoth is a grass/dragon type

Oh this is going to be fun. Also feel free to try this idea. A race between two of the objectively worst Gen 1 Water types, Seadra and Seaking.

Stantler is supremely underrated. I thought he was super cool when I saw him, and I couldn't understand why no one seemed to like this cool antler pokemon.

As a Slowpoke fan, I thank you for saving our beloved pink hippo. And hopefully we can expect a Slowpoke run in the future... maybe a Slowbro vs Slowking run for gen 2

I wish Qwilfish had gotten an evolution in Gen 4 when some Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon got theirs. It really deserved it.

Stomp ignores minimize evasion changes and also gets it's power doubled.

About Kenya : You can put his mail in your PC then attatch it to any other pokemon and deliver that other pokemon instead. So you can both finish the quest and keep the spearow. The NPC does say he doesn't care about Kenya, only the letter.

I keep forgetting that venomoth was fairy type in the first gens. No wonder poison was effective against it

If you use minimise and your opponent uses stomp it does double damage. Also when playing gen 1 you can dig from the bike voucher house.

"I'm planning a run with Sneasel" I've used a lot of Pokémon in these games and can say without a doubt that Sneasel is one of the worst Pokémon to use in pre-Physical/Special split, the only thing that trumps it is Yanma. Even when I used Unown it was better. Good luck, I'll wait anxiously for that run!

14:42 - if you use minimize, Stomp does 2x damage. Since Miltank's Stomp is STAB, it's power is 210

"Starters like Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip are also mono-types at the start, but their final evolutions are dual-types" Um, pretty sure Sceptile is still a mono Grass type lol

I understand the confusion with Venomoth. I keep thinking Kangaskhan is a Normal type for some reason, but Giovanni has one, Lance has one in Stadium, and it's clearly related to Cubone, so obviously I should remember that it's a Ground/Dragon type.

If you’re only trying to progress dialogue boxes, and you really insist on spamming a button, the B button is a far better button to spam. It still advances the text, but it won’t do anything upon returning control to the player, outside of yes/no prompts.

Give Qwilfish an evolution! I think it being the first steel/poison type would be cool. Like a spikey depth charge design.

I understand your confusion with Venomoth. They changed its typing from Grass/Flying to Psychic/Fairy in Gen VI

You did an awesome job with that little mace fish! Looking forward to the Fossil Fight!

Me: checks comment section for minimize stomp interaction. Also me: uses minimize Whitney: get wrecked scrub

These vids are always a great way to prep for my week, good send off before the slow work week

You should really do a Pokemon Race between Lunatone and Solrock in Emerald. Or A Pokemon Gold run with only Girafarig

I have to admit, your types of jokes don't resonate with me, but I'm fascinated by your dedication and how much work you put into it. So it's enjoyable to watch anyways :) Good luck on your next run

Hahaha, I love the edit on Venomoth's type for Koga's team

Qwilfish was a pokemon I liked the concept of, but you're absolutely right I completely forgot til this year.

Can you do a Weavile vs Gliscore gen 4 run, I'm pretty sure they're semi counterparts since they both evolve in similar ways and have the same base stat total

Hey Scott, it's been awesome watching someone around my age play pokemon again. I enjoy jrose, mahdrybread, and a few others, but you seem the most genuine out of all of them. Your content is quickly becoming my favorite when it comes to pokemon, and your editing is entertaining. You're doing such an awesome job and watching your journey from a newbie to a pokemon master has been a real pleasure. Keep up the good work, and I'll be sure to watch every single video you upload!!

Cries in pincurchin.

When i play Gold for the frist time, i thought that Quilfish evolvs into Octillery^^. Was really sad, that he won't evolve. After Years i learned that Remoraid was the one^^. What a sad Story ;D

Ah Qwilfish. Another Gen 2 Pokémon who deserved more than they got. He does deserve an evolution.

Fun fact: I don't like water types very much... but out of all of them, I think I like all the ones introduced in Gen 2 for some reason. Not counting the water starters, of course, which I usually somewhat like as well despite the fact that I mostly prefer the grass type ones. I mean... Grass types have such cool designs, like Venomoth! But yeah, Gen 2 Water types are kinda weird and derpy which makes me like them for some reason. Chinchou and Lanturn are the cutest fishes and you can't convince me otherwise. Also, Wooper is obviously the most supreme Pokémon in existence.

So happy to see such unloved Pokémon such as the speedy dragon slaying 'sea urchin' that is Puff get some spotlight. I've learned a lot of interesting info from this video regarding Gold/Silver and I hope you learned now that minimise increases the damage received from Stomp (that was a painful thing to witness you do... repeatedly). I look forward to more of these!

I believe you're the only person who has done a challenge with this pokemon. For that you have my respect and admiration.

I think that spikes can be useful, because It does damages when a pokémon enter in the field, not necessaraly in a switch, but Also when you defeat a pokémon and The trainer has to choose another pokémon From their team.

I made a ROM hack of G/S where Qwilfish evolves into Shibirefugu at level 18, a nod to it's beta design, Puku, which evolved into Shibirefugu at level 18. In the ROM hack, Qwilfish's stats were lowered to 335, and Shibirefugu's base stat total is 460.

And Scott delivers again!!! Man level 80 and Quilfish conquers Johto, color me impressed man, esp when it 2 shot Snorlax with Sludge Bomb!

Honestly, out of all the tropes in the Pokémon challenge runs on youtube, Venomoth's typing is my favorite

WOW!!! This guy is great at the game. He really has a good thought process around the game and he puts together really intelligently done videos. The data and the methodology and stuff is rigorous and we trust his results.

Random thought- One thing I always thought is that making Dark type moves special attacks was an error. Literally all of them are contact moves from Gen 2-3. Most introduced Dark Types in this generation also have higher attack than special attack, barring houndoom. Even Umbreon has very slightly higher attack than special attack. Most psychic types have lower defense than special defense. Dark Types were created to balance Psychic types. Sneasel is one of the worst Pokémon battle-wise in Gen 2 and it didn’t have to be. Also, ghost being physical, wtf? Yeah that helps vs psychic types but there’s only two ghosts Gengar and Misdreavus. Both have higher special attack than attack.

Catching up on a few older uploads. Your girlfriend has amazing taste with Mareep, that evolution line is my favorite by far for Gen 2 The Neo Genesis Pokemon card set had a great Mareep card featuring the classic Ken Sugimori art as well for the little static sheep.

0:30 There's also a fisherman Tully/Chris with a Qwilfish on route 42...

I learn so much about the early gen games this way. I didn't start playing pokemon until fire red and leaf green. It's nice to see the way it all began.

Scott's Thoughts: "There's got to be some cheese and Miltank joke in here somewhere" Me: Challenge Accepted... I don't think using Roll-out on Whitney's Miltank is a gruyere idea at all.. there's absolutely no Whey that could work out for you! But hey.. if that's you Feta-sh then i'm not one to kink shame... I think I should stop now....

Pfffft, thinking Qwilfish is a sea urchin- everyone knows it's a water hedgehog! 🤣 For real though, I'm impressed at just how decent Qwilfish can be- I'm guilty at forgetting its existence too.

for future references: try to use physical attacks against bruno's fighting mons, if you look at hitmontop, lee, chan, and machamp, you will see that fighting type mons are usually way more specially defensive than physically defensive.

Try doing a run with Tauros only using special moves. Great video as always.

"Let's go catch a Bellsprout. But not in Sprout Tower, where they're nearly guaranteed to show up."

You need to make Venomoth’s type a running joke said with all seriousness. “But I’m not worried, since Venomoth is a fire/electric type”. And you do know you can tell your Mum/Mom to stop saving your money if you just go and talk to her. You can also move between non/daylight savings time if it happens in the middle of a run. Have fun with these things. Mum: Is it daylight savings? You: how are you not keeping track of these things? You’re a grown woman.

I love the way you do your videos with the little texts in between stuff and memes. Good sense of humor lol cheers. Awesome video ^_^

Qwilfish is my all time number one favorite pokemon, so happy I found this hidden gem! Keep up the work

The guy doesn't give you Kenya. He gives you a TM, I think, but he takes the Pokemon away for good.

YESSSS Scott being a fan of unpopular Pokémon like Ariados, Qwilfish, and Dunsparce makes me so happy. I nearly exclusively use guys like that nowadays.

Exeggutor is obviously pronounced "ven-no-moth," of course!

Quilfish has to be one of the most underrated pokemon.

If you don't have a strength pokemon for Chuck's gym, you can just get the gift Shuckle from the house next to the pharmacy and it can learn strength.

Remember that you can't use a bike indoors. Professor Oak taught me that.

Legit had to look up Venomoth after watching 6 of your videos this weekend and questioning my own sanity. Glad it reinforced my gut "steel / dark" typing from Gen 1

I'm very impressed that Quillfish managed to win against Red using only A button spam. Especially since it was using Sludge Bomb instead of relying on a lucky Rollout streak.

Hell yes. My all time favorite water type! I've been farming for his shiny this past week! I love the pink! Eternal fav 💓

Spikes is actually really good because even A.I. trainers have to send in pokemon which means that unless they are flying type they will take damage. Qwilfish learns it because it is a mine as well as a pufferfish. Defense curl boosts rollout simply because you are already in the shape of a ball so you can get up to speed sooner. Really simple logic there. Chikorita is not weak, it just happens to be defensive oriented which makes miltank a breeze with its mid stage evolution. Try playing through crystal with a Meganium starting from a Chikorita. You will know what I mean.

Pillow-swine > pie-low-swine. I like your way of saying it is better than mine

The reason Miltank was destroying Qwilfish with Stomp when it connected is because in Gen 2, whenever Stomp connects on a Pokémon that has used Minimize, the damage dealt is doubled.

The grunt in kanto IS optional. Just get the machine part 1st

“Let’s cheese this cheese maker” ideia for when battling whitney

Its cool to see Venomoth was a Bug/Fairy type even back in gen 2 (you can even see it at 23:05).

Qwilfish is one of my favourite Pokémon. Also it’s not a sea urchin, it’s a puffer fish.

This reminds me of that one Qwilfish sweep in Ubers on Pokemon Showdown.

Bro I didn’t know that Venomoth was grass/flying I thought it was always psychic/flying Thank you so much for telling me 😳😳😳😳😳

Fun fact, Qwilfish is considered one of like, the top 5 or so water types in emerald Kaizo (it did get a very small buff tho, 10 defence points).

Every ROM hacker tries to make this thing Op One game made it poison steel with levitate

Arceus is about to lose its throne, new Pokémon with all Types is on the house: open space for Venomoth.

On the theme of obscure Johto mons - the Hoppip-Jumpluff line would be a good one. I've always known it to be rather terrible, so it would be cool to see if it can manage. Hippop doesn't get a damaging move until level 10 so I probably would cheat it to have tackle immediately.

Comment for the algorithm: The most underrated Pokémon card has to be Dark Golbat. The Pokémon power allows you to deal damage with the card still in your hand, to any of your opponents Pokémon.

A random fact that cost me a Ho-oh as a kid. The NPC you're supposed to deliver Kenya to doesn't actually check for Kenya, instead they check for the mail If you move the mail to another Pokemon without erasing it, they'll take that Pokemon from you.

True underdog, i vote for the fight with the guy before victory road who have 2 of this bad boy to become a mandatory showcase for any challange

Milk that cow battle! Give Whitney some cheese for that post-battle whine!

Just because you made sure not to go crazy on the ads, I watched both of them all the way through. Sure it's probably only like 5 cents to your check but you've earned it. Btw keep up the good content. 👍

I am almost positive that Qwilfish is based on both a pufferfish and a sea urchin. My theory is partially based on Qwilfish's cut evolution since it was based on a naval mine as well as a pufferfish. (The one that clearly inspired the design for Whiscash. Not the flexing one.) So it'd make sense for it to be two things combined.

I love Quilfish. As a kid i always wanted one. It just looked so cute and angry.

Was not expecting that run to end where it did. Rollout is powerful

Thank you, these videos are a joy to watch

Daaaamn this is the first time a Pokemon challenge has made me want to use a Pokemon in a regular playthrough. We've been sleeping on Qwilfish!

Should have just kept the harden hahaha. Curse , return, surf, rest. Might be a good set. Maybe. Nevermind, not enough damaging moves. Take out curse , add spludgebomb back for damage.

NO, THE LOGIC IS THAT YOURE CURLING UP INTO A BALL TO "ROLL" OUT!!!!! Yes, I know everyone knows this.

I look forward to your videos as much as I do my weekly anime episodes they are amazing and you’re a great content creator can’t wait to see what you do next !

for me forgotten pokemon from 2 gen was Octillery , never seen wild or used by other trainers.
