  • Hey guys!
    Hope you had a great start to your 2021! Let's begin the year with a bang!
    #PokemonSwordandShield are a little over a year old, but they're definitely one of the easier games in the franchise, so I decided to do a #challengerun of this game by only allowing myself to use pokemon obtained by in-game trades! I've been talking about this kind of challenge on my Twitch Streams back when I first started, but I finally got around to it!
    Do you guys think I will succeed? Do you think I'll lose? Let me know what you think in the comments section! Don't forget to like and subscribe for notifications on more of my content!

    I believe that Oleana using an all-female team and mostly ‘waifu’ Pokémon, except with Garbodor being her ‘Ace’ Pokémon, means that she is literally *the* “Trash Waifu.”

      Actually, it's been stated that Trubbish is Oleana's first pokemon because she was originally poor. Garbodor being her pokemon means that she has never let go of her first ever partner even after she's become rich and 'classy' with other beautiful pokemon. It's honestly very wholesome!

    • @TheMurphination
      @TheMurphination  3 года назад +20

      In hindsight I definitely should have dynamaxed, but Cottonee is super fast and Grass is 4x effective on Drednaw, so I anticipated being able to outspeed AND take it out.
      I was DEAD wrong lmao, I don't know how a turtle outsped my fluff lol. But I'm currently doing a challenge run right now on Twitch without Dynamaxing to see how that goes. We didn't get up to the first gym yet but I think it's going to be really tough yet fun!

      It’s just boring design wise to me. I never understood how a crybaby lizard could evolve into an Emo lizard, and then into a James Bond lizard. I know WHY they wanted to go with a James Bond based Pokémon, but that concept doesn’t mesh with the other members in the line. If you look at Grookey and Scorbunny, they have a main idea that flows through the whole line. Sobble doesn’t. It goes from one idea and then goes to the complete other side of the spectrum.
      It also just looks bad to me, it looks way too generic and lackluster. I feel like it has absolutely nothing to it other than it’s slim, but doing that kind of thing dwindles the possibilities for potential designs because there isn’t much to work with in the first place.

    just started this run and have a few pro tips for the early game
    1. You can get the TM for Payback behind Magnolia's house which is great for a slow Pokemon like Skwovet pre Body Slam, and it can powered up even further with the Black Glasses you can find in Motostoke
    2. The girl with the Pancham can be skipped if you're careful
    3. Cash is actually a god if you re-learn Fake Out and delete all other moves except it and Last Resort. You can also buy the TM for Protect in Motostoke which synergizes well

    • @TheMurphination
      @TheMurphination  2 года назад +4

      I actually never knew about payback! That’s a good tip, thank you!
      And Cash for me at least just wasn’t doing too much, I always found myself using other Pokémon instead but the fake out protect and last resort combo is pretty busted, I remember a few competitive sets used to be like that!

    • @TheMurphination
      @TheMurphination  2 года назад +1

      So Stomping Tantrum is a 75 base power Ground move that doubles in power every time the move used prior to it fails. So since Swallow automatically fails if you don’t have any stockpiles set up, you get a 150 base power ground move every other turn!

To me it doesn’t seem right at all. If they wanted to make the line resemble James Bond, making it a cry baby was not the way to go in my opinion.
      There’s nothing wrong with the line itself. People love the line for obvious reasons. But I just feel it was executed very poorly, and that design wise it’s very lackluster.

    Murphination: Grooky is the best gen 8 starter
    Me: OBJECTION scorbunny is the best starter because it's good against the first gym where you have few choices for a team and It's also super effective against the fairy and ice gym and still good against the rock gym assuming you have double kick or some other fighting type move. Also, it's the cannon option that the protagonist chooses thus the protagonist prefers scorbunny. I also just think it's a great Pokemon being fast and powerful when fully evolved and that can stick without status moves or ev training.

    • @TheMurphination
      @TheMurphination  3 года назад

      That's definitely a fari argument! But Rillaboom to me is just a very balanced Pokemon, pretty great stats all around aside from Special Attack, but when are you going to see a Special Rillaboom anyway? I've never been one to choose the "canon" starter because every since I was a kid I always went with the water type starter anyway! But I think you've got a great variety of Pokemon to choose from before Milo. You've got Sizzlipede, Rookidee, Blipbug, Carkol if you evolve Rolycoly quickly enough, and you even have accessto Alolan Meowth for bulk to resist Milo's entire team!

    5:23 this girl gives me flashbacks when in my nuzlock where she killed my newly captured, underleveled klink by dragging it into the fray with circle throw, despite my attempts to switch to Tesla (my grubbin) to use a super-effective stab bug bite.
    Rest in peace

      "Uh. Should we tell them that Pancham actually resists Bug?"
      "... Nah. Let them figure that one out on their own."
      Just a joke. Just a joke.

    I really really enjoyed this video, and tbh I don't mind the Dynamax the way you used it, which is to dynamax against foe's dynamax, so it's fair.. buuut, I do recommend you try your challenges on Set Mode instead, as Switch mode makes the game a lot easier

    Yo big fan of content like this and I watch I religiously so I’m not in any way shape or form in the position to tell you what to do. But
    1. I really like your vibe and I liked this video I feel like a play through on another game with the same rule set but nuzlocke would be more intense but idk if that would be too much and make it too hard.
    If you don’t want to do a nuzlocke try and implement hardcore rules eg no items, set mode and level
    Really enjoy the content and the no face cam vibe. also sun and moon and usum is doing good on the algorithm rn 😃

    This vid really blew up. I wonder if the creator still reads the comments.
    Really good editing and nice challenge. You were too loud at times because of screaming which lessened the audio quality. But thats all.
    My favourite team is Salazzle, Gastrodon, Tsareena, Calamanero (inkays evo), Whimsicott and Aggrostella (mareanies evo).
    They hit hard and have great designs at the same time. :3
