- Why do one challenge when you can do TWO?! Can we beat Red/Blue with just Gastly while battling as few times as possible? There's no way, right.....?

Blastoise: "Oh noes, a Gastly!" *Hides in shell*
The rival left his Silph Scope home
The rival never gets a silph scope
Cloyster looks like a Gastly in a shell. Maybe Gastlys are dead Cloysters
@@PaulSmith-od6dp Wow.
Blastoise is the real nintendo ghost.
This play through is what happens when professor Oak drops your starter Pokeball too hard before you get it...
Didn't see that coming 😂
Tigercat5 yea, if he dropped it on the trainer’s head.
Or perhaps it's just Pokémon CursedBlack
Oak forgot to feed his Charmander
@@priestesslucy oh no something worse happened...he forgot to keep charmander's tail out of the water when he washed it
love how gastly's backsprite is just a mush of pixels
I think it's one of the few gen 1 sprites that is cooler than the later ones
literally the paint sptay tool
he looks like spray paint
4 minutes in MS paint :ok_hand:
I love seeing all the pokemon's old sprites... so nostalgic.
can you imagine climbing mt. silver to face the most difficult trainer, and red sends out a gastly lol
...
It would be at level 235 tho
Beats you with my mimc
Team Pikachu gastly starter
Gastly was one of the strongest pokemon on the show and toyed with all of Ash's pokemon. When I watched the episode with Gastly I had to try it in the game because I didn't realize how powerful they are.
“This Video is close to ending” *is half way through video with about 14 minutes left*
Haha I was so sad when he said that, like nooooo not yet !

Alternate title: How GOOD was Mimic ACTUALLY? Part 5
More like: Why Gamefreak nerfed Mimic. Part 5
A move I never used, never even thought of using, is consistently his MVP move
@@petercarioscia9189 In a normal playthrough it would be pretty pointless, these challenges always force the use of every available strategy, so it's nice to see such a move unveil it's potential.
Benedikt well it would still be a nice move in a regular playthrough. Some good tms are finite, so this could still be a move you put on your mon with the worst movepool.
It happens to be solid for venusaur since its movepool isn’t that good. Also, for any fast mon, using mimic against a mon with an OHKO move + 1 x accuracy is an easy sweep.
Of course, it would be a liability in comp gen 1
@@GreatestLeaf
The sad thing about using growth with venu is its best grass move crits 99.6% of the time. So you end up having to resort to mega drain or solarbeam.
Leech seed toxic is a great combination but for a casual setting (which was the framework here), you generally prefer more offensive wins. X item spam would probably be a faster way to succeed with venusaur in casual play than going for leech seed toxic. Especially since once you have sleep power + x acc + more speed than the opponent (which might happen naturally have getting a stacked speed boost), you have free setup reign to go for a sweep.
The sheer panic in his voice when he says he's not promising to do these runs for every gen, he's just saying "if".
The panic of a man that is coming in terms with knowing that it's most likely too late anyway
Well tbh any of us could catch Rona at any time so...
i think he will do the leftovers eventually lol

@matt fahringer "i-i'm not stressed bro!!!"
ok dude lol
@matt fahringer If you aren't stressed good for you. Just stay inside so you dont put other people at risk please and thank you.
Someone thing about the speedup: When it is true that the speed makes idle time (like hitting a wall) take up more time than needed, as long as you do all the runs in speed up there's no problem. That said, love the new direct you are going right now. Do what you love, and it's sure to be great!
That's _almost_ completely true. There is one key difference between the first runs and later runs: Practice. Over time he'll bonk less, make decisions in battles even faster as he notices patterns, and make less pathing mistakes. Still not worth stressing over, but it is a thing.
@@cmck362 i mean the same can be said about everything. over time he gets a better feel for setups, for strategies etc, like in this run he had to go back to get mimic. for the future he may pick it up when he is already there. you cant truly make every run have the same unless you tas it
@@cmck362 I mean your talking about literal seconds here. Even if he hit every wall in the game that's what a minute or two of extra time?
To sum up, that is the routing differences in buying & picking up items.
You should show the rival how to use an Exeggcute by using it yourself :P
It is Easter this Sunday...
@@Jrose11 You know what to do. You know how to exeggcute this.
This seems like the right answer
@@Jrose11 Well now you have to
Do Exeggcute and name either yourself or Exeggcute "Easter", "Omelet" is also acceptable.
Jrose, you are criminally underrated and under-subbed.
"The Arcanine never woke up" - jesus christ that's dark
Signs that you’ve watched Jrose enough:

His mispronunciation of her name frustrates me so much. It's not that hard!
nah, I've played tales of the abyss too much, Its always going to be lore-eh-lie
I'm STILL getting used to that :/
At this point it's almost a running gag
Me: "mhhh weird. He's not uploading anything lately. He must be doing some very difficult challenge"
Gastly: "Hold my nightshade..."
Dang, I knew Gastly was good, but I didn't think it was this good. I'm impressed.
I'm thinking Staryu will be one of the best runs. Its movepool is amazing and it gets Recover. It MIGHT give Gastly a run for its money just because of Ice Beam and Surf, but Gastly's immunities will probably keep it at the top.
I'm mostly looking forward to Vulpix and Growlithe. Fire is a fairly bad type in Gen 1, sadly, but those 2 are some of my all-time favs. I'm also looking forward to Dratini.
Staryu might have more trouble. Surf/Hydro Pump & Ice Beam/Blizzard are great, but stat-wise, it only has better ATK, DEF & Speed; Gastly narrowly has more HP and THIRTY more Special. It'll do well, but not like Gastly did.
Abra is gonna suck 🤣🤣
@@b-radskii Abra has a 105 Special stat, higher than Mew. You're probably thinking that it only learns Teleport, whick is only true for level-up. It can still learn TMs, such as Psychic. It won't suck.
@@kevh6303 Fair enough. I kinda forgot that Abra can at least learn good TMs (tbh I thought the only TM it could learn was Hidden Power, which wasn't even released yet, if I remember correctly). Either way, though, it'd still be pretty hard until he got some TMs
No chance. Staryu can't beat brock until level 17. With slow EXP curve on top of that you'll be grinding for hours. Mind you that Gastly actually finishes the game in under 3 hours if no additional rules are enacted, so any Staryu attempt would beat brock at the time Gastly heads to Victory road.
Tentacool is essentially a better version than staryu in every single way and even that one can't compete with Gastly.
I would love seeing a run with Goldeen, who has only Peck and Tail Whip until level 19, and the earliest point you can even get a water move for it is from Misty! It doesn't even naturally learn a water move until a whopping level 37!!
Dude that sounds awful, I love it
Also, the Geodude run, Lorelei is gonna be awful without items, I had to use 4 X Specials (you might need less but I was just trying to finish the run). Same with the champion fight.
Don't you get the water gun TM at mt moon?
At least it DOES learn a STAB move eventually In Gens 1 and 2 that's still something 😂
Isn't there a Water Gun TM in Mt.Moon?
Everyone: You need STAB moves to win
Ghastly: Hold my SPECIAL
I'm looking forward to Cubone. He is kind of almost an honorary ghost Pokémon, so of course that means he will be great like Ghastly, right?
I hope so too but it doesnt get thick club in gen 1 so maybe not...
Cubone only has bone rush and can't get past the first team rocket grunt who has zubat. Ofc leveling it up would get more moves, but then again it would not work with least battles.
Side note: Bide might work
@@ajaakola2 Cubone gets water gun by TM for the Zubat.
@@kassadus2499 but not before mt. moon?
@@ajaakola2 It's right at the start of mt.moon. You get it before any mandatory flying type battle comes up.
the best part about quarantine is that Jrose11 is imprisoned in his house and forced to make videos for us
"the next five elite four trainers" Pokemon was always good at math
Technically it isn't wrong. Four Elites and the Champion.
3 days no video and i was thinking: has the challenge destroyed Jrose11 or did he destroy the challenge. and the Title is promising
gastlys backsprite is something else
"hey you gotta finish this backsprite before you leave for today"
"ok whatever" *randomly clicks around in MS paint for a minute "good enough time to go home"
I think I'm most excited for Sandshrew now
oh hi aarantula
Lol same😆
Sandshrew/sandslash are my favorite pokemon. Im hype for it. Slash earthquake double team and sand attack hits anything in the game pretty hard and is annoying to play against. He also gets good stab early once you get the digTM from the rocket grunt
@@AImpatientMan Eww Double Team
@@AImpatientMan Dig is actually superior to Earthquake in most playthroughs, having identical Accuracy, Base Power, and PP. It comes with the added bonus of exiting dungeons as well as dodging attacks in battle (not Swift, but it's a more than fair trade off, especially when you get that Explosion/Self-Destruct cheese).
29:21 "Exeggutor would be very scary if.."
Honestly that gen 1 sprite is pretty terrifying
I don't mind one bit that you are trying minimum battles, as it is the most accurate representation of a solo Pokémon's viability:
Less battles = Less Time and Levels = More Score
Yeah. Any pokemon is viable if you waste enough time training. The more interesting question is what less popular pokemon is as/surprisingly more viable then starters
@@PointsofData A ton of pokemon are going to be more viable than the starters really, Gen 1 starters are pretty bad and outclassed by so many other pokemon (or in the case of Charmander, gets held back hard by its typing sucking in Gen 1).
month late but idk about them being bad,
but I agree they were outclassed. Venusaur is the 3rd best grass type only being outclassed by Exeggutor and victreebel competitvely being UU but OU with strategy. Charizard is kind of on that same boat, Fire types really weren't that good in the RBY metagame but I'd say Charizard is the 2nd best starter (in competitive, charizard is the worst starter in-game) and I'd say he was outclassed by ninetales and Moltres (just like venusaur, is also UU but was OU with strategy). Blastoise though, I agree, it gets outclassed by so many other water types (Starmie, Lapras, slowbro, cloyster, even gyarados are good examples)
I thought this was gonna be pidgey, but DAMN was this a great turn of events
Raikaria he isn’t doing weedle or caterpie because there is no point you get stonewalled
@@raikaria3090 Ah my mistake. I thought he was gonna skip weedle as there is literally no strategy in it, just spam poison sting and hope for crits and early poison.
I guess it's safe to say, that jugglers like to JUGGLE their Pokemon.

That's a profile pic from a choice of game LLC game right? I can't remember the name
@@fallenolympian9860 perhaps.
@@fallenolympian9860 choice of deathless! It was the best written choice of game Ive played
Literally some of the best content on fb. I don't even care about pokemon
I tried this with a perfect DV Gastly, and was able to do the minimum battles without using any Rare Candies at the end, those perfect DVs were certainly required though as the Alakazam's Psychic at the end was almost an OHKO without a crit, even with me pumping Calcium to the vitamin cap ASAP to maximize my Special Stat EXP, so with a couple less points in HP and Special DVs it becomes a luck more luck reliant if you're getting OHKO'd by Psychic without a crit (and he might miss out on a crucial OHKO or 2HKO too). So your Gastly might not have been strong enough to do it without Rare Candies, but you definitely didn't need to use them all, in the future I think it would be better when you have a minimum battles run going that you avoid using all your Rare Candies up at once, to see how low a level you can truly finish at.
I also think the Charizard team is the hardest and is the one I went with; the Zard is more threatening than the Blastoise, as they have equivalent Special yet the Zard is a lot faster, so better crit chance and you might not outspeed it (my Gastly was able to, but if my Speed DV was a bit lower it might have missed it), and then Fire Blast is slightly more accurate than Hydro Pump with a 30% Burn chance that might just finish you off if you're almost dead, alongside Fire Spin to trap you if you're slower, while the Blastoise can also waste turns with Withdraw wheras the Zard won't since its other two moves are Normal type and thus Blue will avoid them. Then with Arcanine vs. Gyarados, yeah you'll typically OHKO the latter so the former tickling you with Ember makes it technically more dangerous, but if you get your Special dropped by an Alakzam Psychic you'll miss the OHKO on Gyarados and then get slammed hard by Hydro Pump (which happened to me and made me fail a run), so the Gyarados certainly has the potential to fuck you still. Overall though all the starters suck against Gastly and none of the Arcanine/Gyarados/Exeggutor trio can do anything to Gastly typically either, so it doesn't really matter which one he picks and either way the real final boss is the Alakazam; if you can beat him without your Special getting dropped and can Mimic Recover, you should have the battle won unless you run out of PP against the Exeggutor or have bad luck against the Zard/Blastoise.
Also as a final note about your Giovanni battle, Giovanni's Dugtrio DOES NOT get OHKO'd by Psychic without a crit (if a perfect Gastly pumped up early on Calcium couldn't do it on minimum battles and no Rare Candies, no Gastly can), and in turn you will get OHKO'd by Dig, so you do have to put it to sleep to win more reliably.
Well, the way you slaughtered everyone in this run was simply... Ghastly.

l discovered your channel with those videos and really apreciate it.
l wish you the best , and hope for even more videos .
We have no reason being up this late, thanks for giving me a reason to stay awake.
Congrats on just hitting 300k! Love your videos. It's always nice falling asleep with a new one and picking it up again the next day :)
What an awesome run! My personal favorite Pokemon from gen 1 is Magnemite, so my vote is for him to be next. You did an injustice to my favorite little steely ball of zappiness in that top 10 worst runs video, and now I want to see him prove you wrong!
I love how with Mirror move Pidgeot just learned *an attack it already knew*
Also my vote for the next Starter goes to Magmar, it’ll be interesting to see it perform in the beginning since it won’t learn anything new until the level it was supposed to be caught.
Wasserlöwe am pretty sure magmar is the only one in his evolution line
pmd fan Probably, since Magby and Magmar’s evolution are from later gens where they were prepared for this situation. I once watched a gen I randomized playthrough with a Magmar at level 10 or so that was almost useless until way later
I agree with all of this. Great comment; I was thinking all of this myself. Magmar should be counted this generation as a nonevolving Pokemon comparable to Onix or Lapras, and I think it would fit the challenge well, only learning Ember to face Brock with. It gets a few good TM attacks such as Psychic and Body Slam, and Mega Punch can come in handy until it's able to learn the latter. It has good offensive stats and Speed, balancing it with things like Gastly and Abra since it isn't quite as powerful, but has noticeably better bulk and similar Speed. I'm looking forward to Magmar more than Electabuzz or Jynx, though Electabuzz would also be a fun challenge, because Magmar is part of a generally more challenging type to use in the first generation. Also it's my favorite of the three, but that's secondary.
Only one Pokemon runs getting old
Jrose: Hold my spoon
To be fair, making a "tier list" for Gen 1 solo runs keeps some sort of suspense going that will prevent them from getting old. Making it a competition rather than just randomly-picked runs was a great idea that is a breath a fresh air to this concept.
I don't know if he'll be able to keep going at this pace in the later gens, though. Especially if things get sorted out in the world and we can go back to work.
@@LonesomeDevil oh absolutely. Jrose way of doing it is entertaining enough, not even mentioning that he somewhat started that whole thing
@@justuslueke Agreed. I have to admit, he wasn't the first I started watching take those challenges, but because of the others I was watching, he ended up in my recommended videos and he's now my favorite.

Thank you for doing these. It's awesome having something like this to look forward to every couple of days while stuck at home
Oh boy, another one of these! Also nice purple background!
I have watched this video 3 times in less than 24h. Either something is wrong with me or you are doing something extremely right and i guess it's the later. Keep on rocking those challenges.
I love how ever since you first used mimic in the minimum battles run you’ve used it in pretty much every run sense.
So glad I found this channel. Teaches me sooo much! Continue the great work, my dude!
30:52 Gastly mistyped as "Ghastly".
Capt. Nitpick out ✌️
But thanks for the entertaining run!! Waiting for the next episode
For once, the Rivals salty response to losing that first match is entirely justified
"its not as fast as a speedrun, it might be a little slower"
yeah, if it was faster than a speedrun then that would be rather suprising.
Wow, incredible! Did not expect Gastly to be so OP.
I'd love to see diglett, got a very solid move pool and speed. Be interesting to see how you strategise against the E4.
Loving the content!!
Jrose: "Oh no I'm gonna fail this run!"
Mimic: "And who decided that?"
3:45 Yeah, that's a well known bug. The instruction manual for Pokemon showed Ghost-type moves as being effective against Psychic-types, but it was programmed incorrectly in gen 1.
Speeding up is the way to go! You are giving us a lot of cool content in a short amount of time, much appreciated in these strange times! :)
Yes please. I don't mind if you speed up. I'm here for....I actually don't know why I'm here. But I want more.
Wow, so glad you finally got a break with these challenge runs! :D
Nidoran male would be interesting. Since Nidoking dominates the glitchless speedrun, I wonder how his pre-evolved form does.
Probably not as well since he doesn't learn thrash
It's also unable to learn a lot of tms as a nidoran. There are quite a few coverage moves it misses out on that you get as nidoking.
Nidoran's stats aren't good, it doesn't get Ground STAB (nor learns any Ground moves in Gen 1 for that matter), it loses a lot of the TMs Nidoking gets, and since this is itemless it can't abuse X Accuracy for perfectly accurate OHKO moves, so it's going to do a lot worse than Nidoking does.
I don't believe it will be better or even good. I just wanted to see how it would stack up to Nidoking.
I actually got really inspired by your vids and I did a Gastly minimum battle the day before you posted this video. I ended keeping nightshade the entire run (together with hypnosis, psychic and thunder bolt). In the end I was around level 60, which is quite decent damage, and it was a great supplement for some fights, mainly psychic type like Kogas gym and Rivals Exeggutor

I'm spreading your videos like a wildfire in my friend circle since I think your vids to be insane. I mean just look at this run.

I'm always delighted when you upload and it makes my probably shitty day that much better. Thank you for making life a bit more enjoyable and thanks for getting me into Pokemon challenge runs! :)
I just (successfully, might I add) did a Tentacool-only run of Emerald, so I'd be up to seeing that run here, too. I discovered, to my shock, that Tentacool's move pool (at least in Gen III) is actually nuts, but I don't currently have a way to access Gen I other than the remakes, so I don't know if that's true there.
Bulbapedia my dude
If you have access to an emulator I suggest downloading OpenEmu. Can emulate tons of different consoles and does it well; has support for the Gameboy era as well and can emulate patched romhacks. And its honestly really cool to hear how good or bad certain Pokemon were before gen 4! The physical/special split really polarized the series. Also it almost always seems like Water pokemon generally have pretty expansive movepools, I suppose to give them lots of wiggle room for coverage to patch up their more common weaknesses and the types that resist it? All in all a really great type and you can't quite go wrong with a water type most of the time.
@@xxxmysticaldragonxxx Water doesn't have big weaknesses. They're only weak to grass and electric. Electric as an attacking type only does super effective damage vs flying and water so it has a limited niche. There aren't a lot of electric pokemon either in the early gens. Grass in the early gens just sucks. So as a defensive typing water is doing pretty damn well.
Water is also only resisted by itself, dragon, and grass. On top of that all water pokemon get surf for an insanely powerful stab move which canceled out any late game move pool issues. Which mean as an attacking type it's also doing great.
So I don't think that justification for their expansive movepool works.
@@cmck362 expansive movepools? Starmie and Lapras and Gyarados aside water types tend towards fairly bad movepools in gen 1
@@priestesslucy He said they had expansive movepools and justified it with the fact that their typing has a lot of common vulnerabilities. I didn't agree that those vulnerabilities existed to a large enough degree to explain why waters have good coverage.
As far as their coverage goes any water that doesn't have a lot of moves also doesn't have good stats so it's a moot point. Any of the decent water types worth using have good movepools. There's no high stat'd water pokemon with a bad movepool unlike say electric. The best electric pokemon have limited coverage moves to go with their high stats. That's not a thing for water types.
As far as gen 1 goes you're forgetting a few water types with good moves. There's also Blastoise and Slowbro. There's arguably a few more, but they're more borderline. Worth noting that all waters can learn ice beam and surf so at the very least everyone has two good moves minimum. For gen 1 that's pretty good.
It's also worth noting that there are only 16 water pokemon lines. There are 5 that we specifically mentioned and there are a few more that I could have listed as borderline. Roughly half the water pokemon have good coverage moves available to them. So saying waters tend to lack coverage is a bit misleading don't you think?
I guess the rival didn't stand a ghost of a chance, lol. Keep up the great work, love your videos so much!
I would love to see sandshrew, one of my favorite pre-evolved pokemon.
Lol i know just he said to ask for one in the comments😄
Thanks a lot for these regular uploads they are so entertaining !!!! I followed your work for a few months and I love these new series ! Can't wait to see the next ones
Would love to see Paras as the next.
It would be a great dip in Pokeman quality but Paras was always one of my favorites in this gen. Little man needs some appreciation
Either way great content, love to see it
Paras has awful speed, but also has spore, one of the best moves in the game
This is the first time I’ve run into a 21MINUTE ad in a video. My god. Skippable tho, and your content is great as always Jrose.
O ya? Black Friday.

~~that was actually a thing to promote the sequel, you could just watch the lego movie for free on black Friday in RUclips as an ad for the sequel~~
I love how gastly is just a smudge on screen in gen 1
Man this was so entertaining despite being so drastically different than the previous Pokemon! Well done 🙌🙌
I think he is taking away one note out of the intro song with every new video of this series, possibly as a countdown to 200k subscribers.
I have been going to RUclips every hour for the last 2 days waiting for this video! IM SO EXCITED!!
So that means you did 69 battles?

With your one extra catch, you brought the battle number to 69. Nice.
I'd love to see Dratini (or Porygon, since that one does evolve later...)
Porygon is the only gen 1 monoform weak enough to be interesting. Although throwing King Tauros into this would be such a meme XD
I like how you finished Alakazam with thunderbolt and Sabrina says "I'm shocked".
I can't wait to see Tauros run, which can also be a good contestant on time and minimum battle due to his really high speed, body slam and horn drill.
Unfortunately he isn’t including Pokémon that don’t evolve. If he did, that would include legendaries too
I had to turn the notifications on for your videos. They are that good. Props to you
This is my fav series love it!!
Love this series, man! Rejuvenating my love for Pokemon. Keep 'em coming
I feel like the ghost typing was a huge help assisting poison, so let’s do Grimer next!!!!
I'm so glad you are doing regular videos now. I'm surprised I wasn't subscribed until now. You are one of the OGs in my opinion. Your catch em all videos are the reason I found so many other channels and found a bunch of other Pokemon geeks like myself. Please don't leave again. These challenge videos have given me a great day off right now. Thanks for all you do my friend. Keep it up.
People forget gastly has same sp atk as mew base 100
Awesome awesome awesome. I love this series. As soon as i see the notification i click it. Thanks again for the 10/10 content.
2:18 I love how as you’re explaining how you’re doing minimum battles you start an optional battle
If he didn't battle her he would have had to battle another trainer
He’s going to have to fight that other trainer anyway. Look where the trainer stopped him. He’s going to have to go around and fight another trainer when he could have just walked around to begin with and skipped a fight
I was surprised no one else noticed. Not minimum battles after all... But still pretty amazing!
I just noticed that, also!
I suppose he could've kept it minimum after battling that lass if he'd left the route and came back :p
@@thekestrel9290 no, he just has to go back to Pewter city to reset her position, then go back east.
just wanted to say that you posting videos so often always makes me happy
I hope this Gastly run doesnt *run outta gas*
*BA-DUNCE*
I have no idea what your talking about good sir
7:24 your pause for laughter was just long enough for the laughter that joke deserved. And yes, I'm counting the pause starting at the end of the sentence "pause for laughter."
17:55 - This video is close to ending.
Me: You're only halfway through...
