Fun fact if one of the day siblings is standing on an item for example Wesley or Frieda on those days the item is moved one tile in front of them, so on Wednesday you can pick up the Rare Candy it is just one tile in front of Wesley. Also if you do have to grind up against wild Pokemon in Johto you can teach your Oddish the TM for Sweet Scent which will allow you to encounter Pokemon much faster than just walking back and forth, this is especially true if you are surfing and want to knock out Tentacools/Tentacruels in the water to the north of the healing house on Route 26, their levels range from 25-34.

Tyrogue is a Pokémon that I think maybe deserves a special playthrough someday. In particular its egg move list contains one move from each of its potential evolutions. This notably includes Mach Punch and High Jump Kuck, which seem like they could make some interesting differences. ...or maybe not, since since neither of those moves are going to help against the Espeon.

Love to see this run. I tried this in Heartgold at one point...one of the big differences between gen 2 and gen 4 is that Falkner gives Roost instead of Mudslap. This seems to have been accounted for by Tyrogue having foresight on it's moveset as the only way to hit ghosts. This is the case all the way to Morty, as the closest options (Hidden Power and Thief) require Surf to access. I foolishly didn't bother reseting for IVs and had a terrible Tyrogue and eventually gave up at Will...

I'm only at your Steelix battle on the first run so I don't know what you've gone for yet.

I'll be completely honest here but with Tyrogue I just flatly wondered if it was a run that was winnable at the outset. Tyrogue's stats and movepool are just so bad that I really didn't know if it was possible. Glad to see I was wrong, and it didn't even clock in with over 3 hours. I can't imagine this time gets beat any time soon: the Pokemon who would struggle harder I imagine are just so bad that there is a very likely chance they might not even be able to complete the game. Like I don't imagine Caterpie or Weedle can beat Red at all and for a Pokemon like Magikarp maybe it can through use of Flail? Sunkern is probably the best case to do worse incidentally. This was a fun video! It's cool to see new routing choices incorporated into the run as a whole. Do you think it would be worth doing Elite Four training in some of the older runs that needed to grind on wild Pokemon for Red?

@bateltheassistant 9 ай бұрын

I remembe as a kid leveling up Tyrogue ,it felt like an eternity to get to level 20 while eagerly hoping that it would get a different move then tackle. I grinded it because I knew that would evolve. The first one that I got evolved into a Hitmonlee.😊 That's why I kind figured that would struggle, but I never thought that it get to level 100 . But in the end hidden power and standard gen 2 moves were it's saving grace.😊 By the way the hidden power explanation was really looking cool ,and it was well thought.

It makes sense for blackout training to not count as a reset, even when you don’t know when you will reset, since when you usually reset, you are going back to a save point, which ends up removing all earned exp from the fight. Since you are keeping it across blackouts, it isn’t really a reset. If you had added 20+ of those resets, it would look like Tyrogue could get through the game much faster if it had ‘perfect luck’ since those resets would never happen.

@Scott: just add a death counter. Count all deaths and then you don't need to quantify resets/blackouts/etc. because if your solo Pokemon fainted then it's out. In fact, just call it a 'fainted' counter since Pokemon don't die in trainer battles canonically. :)
