This team looks so fun to play with. I never knew tauros was such a tank. Did you see that moveset and the moves that were recommended for tauros though????
If you choose Fearow as your flyer, I would recommend leveling up the Spearow given to you for free by the guard at the Goldenrod/Route 35 gate. It will be holding mail, just remove the mail. This Spearow is treated like a trade Pokemon and will level up quickly.
@@brucepraska7781 Spearow and Geodude can be in any version, however, Phanpy, only in silver and crystal. If I'm not mistaken, it has to be in the morning.
To everyone questioning why this specific Spearow, the trade exp boost is extremely valuable in a game that's relatively starved for good exp. Especially considering this video has a no external trading restriction.
@@ExaltedArchvile In gen 2 all shiny pokemon have 10 DVs in Defense, Special, and Speed. Attack can be 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15. And HP can be anything. So relatively speaking have guaranteed 10 DVs in 3/5 stats makes a shiny stronger than an average pokemon.
Typhlosion: 2:09 Fearow: 3:49 Ampharos/ Electabuzz: 5:22 Machop(Temporary): 7:51 Espeon: 8:18 Tauros: 10:51 Lapras: 11:51 (Edit: I've just put them for my convenience if I forget)
The best substitute for alakazam is kadabra. Still very fast, and it’s special atk is as good as Raikou I do belive. Give it psychic, and all three elemental punches.
@@Machoke. No, it's Espeon. Espeon has a base speed of 110 and 130 SpA, meanwhile Kadabra's base speed is 105 and his SpA is 120. Espeon is also more bulky with higher higher HP and Def and his SpDef is actually decent unlike Kadabra's. The only good thing Kadabra has is movepool since you can give it Fire Punch, Thunderpunch, and Ice Punch, which are all special in gen 2. Recover is useless since it will die fast. However your other team members will take care of your electric moves and fire moves so it's not necessary and in game, the AI isn't smart enough to switch like you are. I also disagree with the vid giving Espeon Shadow Ball, instead you would want to evolve it after it learns Bite since Shadow Ball is physical and Bite is special in this game and takes care of both Ghosts and Psychics. Confusion doesn't matter since it will be replaced anyway.
@@ShahriyarAlam1 I agree bite is better in espeon over shadow ball and for competitive espeon probably beats kadabra, but for an in game playthrough the game isn’t really hard and I rather have movepool over slightly better stats. That’s just me.
Just a note on Espeon: if you train Eevee till lvl 30, it gets Bite. Covers the same things as Shadow Ball, is a bit weaker but is Special which is huge with Espeon, and it spares you a rare TM. You do miss out on Confusion, but Eevee is a hassle anyway. Liked the new team, by the way!
yeah shadow ball is wasted on Espeon in gen 2. still don't understand how ghost type moves were physical, while dark type moves (mostly crunch and bite) were special -_-
@@pn33milan11 Psychics usually have high special defense, ghost was made to counter them, psychics have low defense, makes sense why ghost was physical.
@@badtimeisinevitable9620 Yeah, that is smart but you should have just traded a machamp from another game because if typhlosion will listen to you then machamp will.
Garchomp is good but so is TORTERRA oh my god its slow and 4x weak to a ice cube but why would you have a slow mon against a ice or water mon that uses ice moves in the first place XD you could use a fire type for the ice type and electric for water torterra is amazing just people who use it wrong hate it
@@damionlittle7519 naw I was joking how he goes from explaining one pokemon to just throwing then away then move to the next. I haven't played either a torterra yet BUT what move set would run on it?

Don't worry Mystic, you making mistakes is what actually draws me to your work. It's all part of the charm of "Hey I'm just a guy who's having fun making videos on things that I like" and it makes it that much easy going and enjoyable for me.
@@Templas100 did you make sure to get Pichu very close to leveling up from level 25 to level 26 and then raising its happiness enough to get Thunderbolt for it?
I got a shiny sentret while increasing eevee's friendship so I guess I don't have to waste 10 minutes of my life only to find a stupid miltank And I don't care that furret is very bad im using my second shiny pkm that is not gyrados and the first i've found without a shiny charn
Man I love the old pokemon art it screams nostalgic. Also tiny bit about Espeon it has the highest special attack out of all the Johto pokemon, and even though everyone knows. Make sure you evolve Eevee in the day
For all crystal players, Ursaring works just as well as Tauros, as it learns all 4 of the moves in Tauros’s Moveset, as well as earlier accessibility. However you can go Tauros if you want to (sorry I’m late)
Sorry... Im even LATER lmaoo. Appreciate you adding this comment. Mainly because ive used Tauros 3 times before since my first play through when i was a young child😂 so lately ive made a pact with myself to not use pokemon ive used before. Also ive never used Ursaring. Appreciate the info u provided fr. Also ive added another lil thing to my pact. Since ive used all starters, ill box my starter after finding a worthy enough to Pokemon that can stand its ground against the first gym. Of course after switch training it and having my starter as back up and box as soon as i get my second worthy enough pokemon. Its a different style of gameplay when you dont have a "first pokemon" you know. The starters tend to be better than the rest but this equals your team out a lot
actually, I've always found strength to be a decent move for an HM. It has 80 base power and 100 accuracy and its a normal type move so if u think about it it is a slightly weaker take down with no recoil and is more accurate
Okay, so I did follow this guide, and after having got the elite four, I can definitely say it has some problems as I played through Crystal this week. 1. Tauros is a poor choice - it was nearly useless all game after the 4th badge - only being needed for 2 pokemon out of the entire elite 4, and I had to grind for that to become a possibility. The biggest problem is that it doesn't get STAB moves and there's not enough ghost pokemon where normal typing matters, so it's never sweeping unless it's very over-leveled - and that's difficult to do because I barely used it. And any fast psychic pokemon kills all the ghost pokemon in the game anyway, making the normal typing fairly moot. The other problem is that Earthquake TM comes just before the elite four - which is depressing since it could have been useful all game. But what's worse, because a lot of pokemon that are weak to ground moves also have high defense, Tauros won't 1hko them either. And what makes this even more annoying is that a lot of the later end-game ones use Self-Destruct, which really punishes Tauros for not being strong enough without a STAB bonus. He requires serious grinding to work to compensate for this. Also, Rock Smash as an attack move is garbage. It is always better to just use Strength (or whatever) even if it's not super effective. The showdown calcs demonstrate this. I seriously do not recommend wasting the precious Earthquake TM on this. 2. Water pokemon are largely not needed beyond the HM abilities. My Gyarados didn't see much use in battle at all. And then I got Suicune and it was just a lot better in Victory Road than any water pokemon I could have trained before. My recommendation is just to use whatever water type you want until you get Suicune, especially in Crystal where it is pretty easy to get after the Radio Tower and doesn't require annoying search strategies like Entei, etc. do. Suicune also learns Aurora Beam on top of Surf, which is great - that's all we care about. 3. I had to use Jolteon instead of Electrabuzz - and frankly, I think that should have been the recommendation as farming Elekid from the egg is just unreasonable and a waste of time. Getting a Thunder Stone is super painless - there's a trainer after the 3rd badge you can get it from if you get their phone number. Joltean was easily in the top 3 mons on my team. If you stumble on an Elekid - great, then use it. Otherwise, Jolteon is fine. Just move on. 4. I also used Espeon, but gaining friendship on it by level 15 to ensure I learned Confusion took me several hours. It's not worth it. I checked the dex and Kadabra would have been fine. In fact, Kadabra learns the elemental punches and has almost the same stats. Espeon will use psychic moves a little better - I agree - but using Kadabra lets you move on with the damn game rather than bike around aimlessly for 4 hours to raise the stupid friendship value on Eevee to get an espeon. If I had known it was going to take several hours, I would not have done it. Espeon is a good pokemon - it was in my top 3 all game once I got it trained - but Kadabra would have also produced a nearly identical result and maybe it would have been better due to superior coverage. 5. Typhlosion is good. No complaints. It's good, especially with the elemental punches which let you evolve it early without feeling bad. 6. Fearow sucks. It is literally a fly bot. I understand you need a fly bot, but it is a bad pokemon. It had a lot of value in the beginning, where grass and bug pokemon are everywhere, but that really changes later on. There are hardly any fighting pokemon in this game to justify using it, and ALL of its better match-ups conflict with Typhlosion, who is also good at defeating grass and bug pokemon, and Kadabra/Espeon, who can deal with Fighting types. Also, you have to be level *47* to learn Drill Peck - people think that's reasonable? All of my mons are level 38-41 by the time I got to the elite four. This one sucks. The best option was probably Crobat, as it's a pokemon you could use all game and it's a much better sweeper with a much better move pool and you can also learn Fly. It has the same attack stat, and just better stats all around in every single area. It has 20% more stats than Fearow does. Crobat also learns a bug move, which can be helpful to deal with psychics and dark pokemon, which the above team has no strong answers to. Crobat is just freaking good. Trading a dratrini for that Dodrio in the final town is also another option - it's a very good physical sweeper and can also learn fly and gets Drill Peck at level 38. I see no reason to use Fearow in this game honestly, other than the beginning where you need something to beat grass and bug pokemon where your fire starter does not know Ember yet. 7. There's also enough electric pokemon in this game to justify using a ground type. Because water pokemon were not a huge requirement in my crystal playthrough, Quagsire might actually have been the best choice for most of the playthrough - just to brick electric types while providing hm slave support and the odd water attack support if I should have required it. I know Nidoking comes fairly later, but it would have been a great replacement for Tauros and a hell of a lot more useful. It learns earthquake, but it gets STAB, which is critical to being an effective pokemon in Victory Road. It also learns Rock Smash, Strength, etc. so I see no reason to even bother with Tauros - it is not required at all for all 8 badges. I never used it. **So what do I actually recommend for Crystal?** 1. Typhlosion 2. Jolteon 3. Kadabra (or Espeon if you like wasting 4 hours) 4. Crobat 5. Quagsire/Lapras/Gyarados -> Suicune 6. Utility -> Nidoking The reality is that you can beat the entire game with Typhlosion, Jolteon and your psychic user of choice. They have super-effective damage against almost everything, and are all special attacking pokemon that often sweep even when they do not get special effective damage. Crobat will not be super useful, but will be more powerful and more useful than Fearow. Suicune will definitely be useful for Victory Road and the elite four - comes just in time where you actually need it as you we really don't need a good water type before that. The 6th slot can be whatever - it doesn't matter. Maybe that can be a Spore/Mean Look user until you get Nidoking. I know Moon Stone is also received at the end of the game, but it's no worse than Tauros getting Earthquake to become useful and is a better late-game choice due to the typing.
For me it was pretty much the same. Having a flying pokémon it's useless i just used a level 11 hoothot to get everywhere an deposit right away espeon worth the waiting tho. I used thyplosion, gyarados, ampharos, jynx, espeon and snorlax for filler and i sweeped johto and kanto and they weren't even overleveled i don't know if i got lucky but i beated red on my first try with that team all 53-55lvl It was pretty easy compared to fire red where you have to level up so much and the type coverage hard on the elite four
@@naxo9975 Yeah, the reality is that as the game goes on, Typhlosion and Espeon will essentially be the best 2 pokemon out of this entire list and can handle themselves in almost all situations. Even if they don't get super effective damage, their special attacks hit so hard it's still often better to attack than switch. I wish ampharos was available in crystal - I would have recommended that over Jolteon just to move on with the game even faster for sure. Jynx is a cool pokemon for Mean Look, Sleep, etc. for catching, and it has good sweeping stats. If Suicune is not available (because you're not playing Crystal), then I'd say Jynx is an extremely suitable replacement to take on the Dragon Gym, the last few routes, Victory Road and Lance's team. After this, I don't think the remaining pokemon matter that much - it can be anyone as long as you have enough move slots for HM usage. The game only requires 3 or 4 active offensive pokemon - not a full team. I think going in this game with a full team mindset is actually going to make it harder and more time-consuming rather than easier. Typhlosion it just so good that the amount of coverage it gets renders so many pokemon obsolete - Fire, Lightning, Ground and Steel kill so many things just in 1 pokemon. And since psychic moves are basically better Normal type moves that pretty much always hit hard against everything, there is no reason to run a Normal pokemon either. At the end of the day, I don't think this video answers the question people want answered: "What pokemon do I actually need to do really well in the game?" My answer is Typlosion and Espeon/Kadabra with HM slaves, followed by Jinx or Suicune - whatever is more easily accessible (and Jinx + Scyther for efficient catching). That's pretty much all a person needs to know. Simplifies everything.
@@Katie-hb8iq yep with those four pokemon you'll get your way through the game easily cause of all the tm coverage i just got snorlax cause its one of my favorites but yeah it didn't help that much but if you're gonna play gold give it a try on my team hahah i didn't know jynx was version exclusive btw and also mystic make mistakes sometimes like on kanto where he recommended nidoking who's useless against elite four except for bruno and also here with fearrow but he's fun to watch
"Alakazam was a good choice because he got all the elemental punches. But we can't use him because he's trade evolution." Hypno that does the exact same thing: **cries**
PokeMon (w/out Egg Moves or Trades) for GBC: - Typhlosion - Fearow - Ampharos (G/S) or Electabuzz (C) - Machop (temporarily for Whitney) to sub. for Espeon (though it's a lot of work) - Tauros - Lapras
I did the calcs, Bite is actually better than Shadow Ball Also, Rock Smash is so bad in this gen (20 BP) that your better off using Strength against Red's Snorlax. Even against Jasmine's Steelix, yeah, that's how bad it is.
Just the In game Spearow," kenya" itself if sufficient to clear entire game, even red, done that many times. The exp boost works quite well as it acts like trade pokemon. Moveset for the evolved fearow can be among drill peck, return, steel wing, thief, pursuit. Leftovers once obtained can be held item
@@xyzzy-dv6te in my playthrough Ursaring carried my team with the element punch and earthquake I used a low level pkm with focus slash so I can heal twice in case of emergency and my other 4 we're just there
With Espeon, I always got Bite instead of Shadow Ball. You can get Eevee to level 30(?) to learn Bite, and then evolve it before level 36 to get Psybeam.
Lol I got the notification and was like, geez Mystic, I didn't ask that nicely... Looking forward to watching when I get home. I can't wait to try out all three remastered teams!
PSA: Ampharos's Thunder Wave is actually not useful for catching wild Pokemon in Gen 2. Because of an oversight in the game's code, sleep and freeze are the only non-volatile statuses that increase a Pokemon's catch chance. Poison, paralysis, and burn do bugger all. It's still a good move, but I just want to let y'all know not to use it on a Pokemon you're trying to catch. If you want to catch a wild Pokemon, either put it to sleep or just throw balls. (You could also get really lucky with an Ice-type move, but I wouldn't count on it.)
There are a few move differences I would make. For Electabuzz I would use Thief, which is Special, instead of Strength, which is Physical. I would recommend just leveling up Eevee to lvl 30 for Bite instead of Shadow Ball. It's only 20 power weaker but it's Special, and Espeon has much higher Special. You miss out on Confusion, but Bite works just as good on Morty, and if you don't want to over level for Psybeam for Chuck you can just use Fearow and Electabuzz. Finally if you use HM Mules effectively you don't need Strength on Tauros either. It's still a strong move but I would use Headbutt instead. It's only 10 power weaker, and it has a chance to flinch which Tauros can take excellent advantage of with its 110 Speed. You also still have Thrash if you need more power. My recommend HM Mules are Paras early on for Cut, Flash, and Rock Smash, and Psyduck later with Strength, Flash, Whirlpool, and Waterfall. Once you have Psyduck and Tauros with Rock Smash you'll only ever need Paras for Cut.
My team for latest Crystal run: -Typhlosion -Fearow -Donphan (Phanpy caught in same spot as Spearow in morning, can’t learn Dig sadly, but even Mudslap on Donphan works fine til EQ) -Victreebel (don’t have patience to reset for Electabuzz tbh) -Kadabra (can’t trade for Alakazam but almost as powerful as Espeon, easier to get, and all 3 element punches) -Lapras
Or you know... trade a drowzee for a machop and wipe up the milk off the ground from Miltank with barely a scratch. Dratini is too much work at that point
Just teach fury cutter TM which you get from bugsy to your starter ( i used totodile dont know if the other 2 can learn it) and let it gain power against clefairy, after that you can one shot her miltank lol
Glad you replied to my opinion on your video I didn’t think that Electabuzz was that good just because it’s a final evolution form but also Jolteon is pretty good but like you said and I forgot about because I myself had also played through Johto your so right about the stones and good idea about strength because we need it anyway for some caves that we need to wake threw
One error, Elekid doesn’t have thunder punch when you hatch it. But it does have dizzy punch. Would it be a better option to keep dizzy punch on electabuzz or just go for strength? Tauros already has strength.
My first Johto team Fernando-Typhlosion Eclipse-Umbreon Zeus-Ampharos Batgirl-Crobat Leviathan-Red Gyrados Clair-Dragonite My teamed rocked Johto and Kanto! I played through Silver on an google emulator on my school ipad. I suffered from depression and my pokemon were always there for me. Unfortunately when school ended I had to return my ipad and my save file will be gone forever. My Pokemon help me find self worth and become a better person. Rest in peace, my friends.
Just a recommendation because this is what I did replaying Gold: get the Spearow from the guy wanting you to deliver it to his sleeping friend near Violet City for the Dream Eater TM, you can just take the letter off of Spearow and he'll take it off of your hands. The guy with the Spearow is in Goldenrod City. Why wait until you get there when you can catch it early? It is considered a "trade Pokemon" of sorts since it is given to you and it earns extra EXP Points in battle! Besides with Cynda and Mareep, you can breeze through the game until you get Spearow.
@@iamadeem7 Still, i think that, in a few weeks we should have all of those teams, so, i think the RSE alternate starter best teams aren't too far behind
Solid choices for the Johto Team remaster, I do want to ask if Lanturn would be a viable choice for the team which would take care of both Lapras & Ampharos/Electabuzz, and for a solid 6th member our old pal Nidoking? Possible moves Lanturn: Surf, Confuse Ray, Spark/Thunder, Rain Dance/Thunder Wave & for Nidoking: Thrash/Strenght, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Fire Punch/Double Kick
I did noticed on little flaw for Electabuzz, it can only be obtained in the post game since in the English version of Crystal you don’t get the gift eggs, and you can’t obtain Elekid in the games unless you breed Electabuzz.
Yeah...biggest oops for Crystal is I think the egg is chosen based on your trainer number, so getting all the way to hatching the egg from Goldenrod only for it to NOT be an Elekid just kinda screws people over in Crystal...
Hey, my love for Pokemon usually goes back and forth, but I'd love to subscribe. I love your Pokemon videos and they're so very entertaining and enjoyable. I hope you keep making things based on Pokemon.
You said that you are using fire punch on Ampharos for Grass resistance So why not use ice punch?? It will counter it's grass resistance and also it's weakness to ground
I agree with Espeon, but for anybody who doesn't want to go to the hassle, just go with Kadabra. It's not that badly inferior to Alakazam. Definitely not as good as Alakazam or Espeon, but super easy to get and definitely good enough for your Psychic needs.
I’ve always used girafarig. Does great against ghost types, and stomp or strength come in handy, little underpowered with confusion til lvl 41, but it does the job
So I took your advice and here’s the problems I’ve run into 1. Lapras can’t learn waterfall and you need it to get through the road to the elite 4. The best option I’d Say is Psyduck and Golduck. You can find them both on Route 35 after you get surf. They can learn confusion and ice punch which are both useful. High special and decent physical attack. Also not as hard tedious to get as lapras. 2. Just because you don’t want to include trade evolutions doesn’t mean you shouldn’t include pre evolutions of those Pokémon. Machoke and Kadabra are both still way better options than espeon and Tauros. They’re both easier to find and level up while having access to better moves. Kadabra gets confusion at the same level and you can just buy abra, give it elemental punches and train it in ilex Forrest until it evolves. Machoke gets good fighting moves the elemental punches and Dig which is useful until you get earthquake. If you don’t want to keep using the machop you get or want to stick to your criteria, I’d say a better option is Sudowoodo. It’s comes with Low Kick which is better than having Rock smash as the only fighting move with Tauros. Also got faint attach strength rock slide earthquake dig and the elemental punches. For Pychic Kadabra is the best option since drowzee is too slow
Actually as weird or crappy as it might sound, your second best option for psychic type moves is butterfree. You find caterpie early on, and it fully evolves by level 10 and learns confusion after right after evolving. It also learns psybeam at level 34 and even learns gust which kinda helps. Also it learns psychic and giga drain through tm
If you’re playing crystal and don’t have access to mareep, i would recommend lanturn with surf, thunder, rain dance, and ice beam. Basically replacing lapras as well freeing up a spot for bellossom. ;) Also i guess crobat isn’t a thing according to mystic. Lol.
My new mantra is “We got shirts on sale!”
Edit: Got pinned 🙌🏻

If you choose Fearow as your flyer, I would recommend leveling up the Spearow given to you for free by the guard at the Goldenrod/Route 35 gate. It will be holding mail, just remove the mail. This Spearow is treated like a trade Pokemon and will level up quickly.
Jamison Moore correct me if I’m wrong but can’t you catch spearow right of the bat after leaving players home but slightly lower chance then pigey
@@brucepraska7781 if I'm not mistaken, you can capture a spearow in route 46. Not only that, but also geodude and a phanpy.

@@brucepraska7781 Spearow and Geodude can be in any version, however, Phanpy, only in silver and crystal. If I'm not mistaken, it has to be in the morning.

Good Bot
The best substitute for alakazam is kadabra. Still very fast, and it’s special atk is as good as Raikou I do belive. Give it psychic, and all three elemental punches.
@@Machoke. No, it's Espeon. Espeon has a base speed of 110 and 130 SpA, meanwhile Kadabra's base speed is 105 and his SpA is 120. Espeon is also more bulky with higher higher HP and Def and his SpDef is actually decent unlike Kadabra's. The only good thing Kadabra has is movepool since you can give it Fire Punch, Thunderpunch, and Ice Punch, which are all special in gen 2. Recover is useless since it will die fast. However your other team members will take care of your electric moves and fire moves so it's not necessary and in game, the AI isn't smart enough to switch like you are. I also disagree with the vid giving Espeon Shadow Ball, instead you would want to evolve it after it learns Bite since Shadow Ball is physical and Bite is special in this game and takes care of both Ghosts and Psychics. Confusion doesn't matter since it will be replaced anyway.
@@ShahriyarAlam1 I agree bite is better in espeon over shadow ball and for competitive espeon probably beats kadabra, but for an in game playthrough the game isn’t really hard and I rather have movepool over slightly better stats. That’s just me.
This video was sponsored by the Goldenrod department store.
Edit. Mystic hearted my comment. I can die happily.
Hahah wordd
Proof?
Kevin Guzman when you edit the comment the heart disappears. I bet he doesn’t know that lol
Skeetasaurus I did not know that. F
Congratulations. You played yourself
Just a note on Espeon: if you train Eevee till lvl 30, it gets Bite. Covers the same things as Shadow Ball, is a bit weaker but is Special which is huge with Espeon, and it spares you a rare TM. You do miss out on Confusion, but Eevee is a hassle anyway.
Liked the new team, by the way!
Good idea
yeah shadow ball is wasted on Espeon in gen 2. still don't understand how ghost type moves were physical, while dark type moves (mostly crunch and bite) were special -_-
Same thoughts. Gen II Shadow Ball is best taught to Pokemon with high Attack that can take on Psychic and Ghost-types, like Snorlax.
November Lima nice, thank you for this, I didn’t catch that in my last play through!
@@pn33milan11 Psychics usually have high special defense, ghost was made to counter them, psychics have low defense, makes sense why ghost was physical.
"With these moves Typlosion is great against Bugsy..."
I'd say at this point in the game, any Typlosion would be great against him : P
Lol
Him?
@@badtimeisinevitable9620 no
Yeah but it won't listen and will be useless.
@@badtimeisinevitable9620 Yeah, that is smart but you should have just traded a machamp from another game because if typhlosion will listen to you then machamp will.
This is probably my favorite series you do except when you trash torterra line on type opinions lol
But garchomp is same way xD
@@damionlittle7519 garchomp trash? you forgot to put mega before its name
Garchomp is good but so is TORTERRA oh my god its slow and 4x weak to a ice cube but why would you have a slow mon against a ice or water mon that uses ice moves in the first place XD you could use a fire type for the ice type and electric for water torterra is amazing just people who use it wrong hate it

Don't worry Mystic, you making mistakes is what actually draws me to your work. It's all part of the charm of "Hey I'm just a guy who's having fun making videos on things that I like" and it makes it that much easy going and enjoyable for me.
You slapped us two remastered teams and I didnt see this coming I was bamboozled
oh no
lapras with teeth
Xd
@Nick Cruz That's a solid team! Good luck! (Hope I'm not too late)
@Nick Cruz Congrats! What was your team?
@Nick Cruz Woah! How'd you get 3 starters? Did you use the duplication glitch?
@Nick Cruz Well, congratulations on completing the game. What will you do next?
The old art style was really nice. It’s a shame Sugimori doesn’t use it anymore.
Level eevee up to 30 so it learns bite before evolving into Espeon, since Dark is special in Gen 2
Can't you just teach it thief instead?
I got lucky and found a random shiny Pidgey before the first gym, so I’m using pideot for that reason alone. Lol
me, i encounter a shiny zubat in dark cave, and now, i'm using crobat as a flying type.
I got my first ever wild shiny the other day, a snubble just after i pickdd up the odd egg :)
I got a shiny pichu from the odd egg the daycare gives. I guess i will be using that instead of elekid even though it's much inferior
@@Templas100 did you make sure to get Pichu very close to leveling up from level 25 to level 26 and then raising its happiness enough to get Thunderbolt for it?
I got a shiny sentret while increasing eevee's friendship so I guess I don't have to waste 10 minutes of my life only to find a stupid miltank
And I don't care that furret is very bad im using my second shiny pkm that is not gyrados and the first i've found without a shiny charn
First Kanto then Johto as I mentioned to hope to see a Johto one made ! Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the gen remastered teams
Man I love the old pokemon art it screams nostalgic.
Also tiny bit about Espeon it has the highest special attack out of all the Johto pokemon, and even though everyone knows. Make sure you evolve Eevee in the day
For all crystal players, Ursaring works just as well as Tauros, as it learns all 4 of the moves in Tauros’s Moveset, as well as earlier accessibility. However you can go Tauros if you want to (sorry I’m late)
Sorry... Im even LATER lmaoo. Appreciate you adding this comment. Mainly because ive used Tauros 3 times before since my first play through when i was a young child😂 so lately ive made a pact with myself to not use pokemon ive used before. Also ive never used Ursaring. Appreciate the info u provided fr. Also ive added another lil thing to my pact. Since ive used all starters, ill box my starter after finding a worthy enough to Pokemon that can stand its ground against the first gym. Of course after switch training it and having my starter as back up and box as soon as i get my second worthy enough pokemon. Its a different style of gameplay when you dont have a "first pokemon" you know. The starters tend to be better than the rest but this equals your team out a lot
Im EVEN later thanks for the tip but gotta ask where can i find ursaring?
@Staygoofy243 I know I'm EVEN LATER but in crystal you can find teddiursa in dark cave
actually, I've always found strength to be a decent move for an HM. It has 80 base power and 100 accuracy and its a normal type move so if u think about it it is a slightly weaker take down with no recoil and is more accurate
I agree, Strength it's a very underrated move in-game
And it has 120 power if it gets stab
nah, its a slightly weaker body slam without secondary, but I do agree, strength is quite powerful
Okay, so I did follow this guide, and after having got the elite four, I can definitely say it has some problems as I played through Crystal this week.
1. Tauros is a poor choice - it was nearly useless all game after the 4th badge - only being needed for 2 pokemon out of the entire elite 4, and I had to grind for that to become a possibility. The biggest problem is that it doesn't get STAB moves and there's not enough ghost pokemon where normal typing matters, so it's never sweeping unless it's very over-leveled - and that's difficult to do because I barely used it. And any fast psychic pokemon kills all the ghost pokemon in the game anyway, making the normal typing fairly moot. The other problem is that Earthquake TM comes just before the elite four - which is depressing since it could have been useful all game. But what's worse, because a lot of pokemon that are weak to ground moves also have high defense, Tauros won't 1hko them either. And what makes this even more annoying is that a lot of the later end-game ones use Self-Destruct, which really punishes Tauros for not being strong enough without a STAB bonus. He requires serious grinding to work to compensate for this. Also, Rock Smash as an attack move is garbage. It is always better to just use Strength (or whatever) even if it's not super effective. The showdown calcs demonstrate this. I seriously do not recommend wasting the precious Earthquake TM on this.
2. Water pokemon are largely not needed beyond the HM abilities. My Gyarados didn't see much use in battle at all. And then I got Suicune and it was just a lot better in Victory Road than any water pokemon I could have trained before. My recommendation is just to use whatever water type you want until you get Suicune, especially in Crystal where it is pretty easy to get after the Radio Tower and doesn't require annoying search strategies like Entei, etc. do. Suicune also learns Aurora Beam on top of Surf, which is great - that's all we care about.
3. I had to use Jolteon instead of Electrabuzz - and frankly, I think that should have been the recommendation as farming Elekid from the egg is just unreasonable and a waste of time. Getting a Thunder Stone is super painless - there's a trainer after the 3rd badge you can get it from if you get their phone number. Joltean was easily in the top 3 mons on my team. If you stumble on an Elekid - great, then use it. Otherwise, Jolteon is fine. Just move on.
4. I also used Espeon, but gaining friendship on it by level 15 to ensure I learned Confusion took me several hours. It's not worth it. I checked the dex and Kadabra would have been fine. In fact, Kadabra learns the elemental punches and has almost the same stats. Espeon will use psychic moves a little better - I agree - but using Kadabra lets you move on with the damn game rather than bike around aimlessly for 4 hours to raise the stupid friendship value on Eevee to get an espeon. If I had known it was going to take several hours, I would not have done it. Espeon is a good pokemon - it was in my top 3 all game once I got it trained - but Kadabra would have also produced a nearly identical result and maybe it would have been better due to superior coverage.
5. Typhlosion is good. No complaints. It's good, especially with the elemental punches which let you evolve it early without feeling bad.
6. Fearow sucks. It is literally a fly bot. I understand you need a fly bot, but it is a bad pokemon. It had a lot of value in the beginning, where grass and bug pokemon are everywhere, but that really changes later on. There are hardly any fighting pokemon in this game to justify using it, and ALL of its better match-ups conflict with Typhlosion, who is also good at defeating grass and bug pokemon, and Kadabra/Espeon, who can deal with Fighting types. Also, you have to be level *47* to learn Drill Peck - people think that's reasonable? All of my mons are level 38-41 by the time I got to the elite four. This one sucks. The best option was probably Crobat, as it's a pokemon you could use all game and it's a much better sweeper with a much better move pool and you can also learn Fly. It has the same attack stat, and just better stats all around in every single area. It has 20% more stats than Fearow does. Crobat also learns a bug move, which can be helpful to deal with psychics and dark pokemon, which the above team has no strong answers to. Crobat is just freaking good. Trading a dratrini for that Dodrio in the final town is also another option - it's a very good physical sweeper and can also learn fly and gets Drill Peck at level 38. I see no reason to use Fearow in this game honestly, other than the beginning where you need something to beat grass and bug pokemon where your fire starter does not know Ember yet.
7. There's also enough electric pokemon in this game to justify using a ground type. Because water pokemon were not a huge requirement in my crystal playthrough, Quagsire might actually have been the best choice for most of the playthrough - just to brick electric types while providing hm slave support and the odd water attack support if I should have required it. I know Nidoking comes fairly later, but it would have been a great replacement for Tauros and a hell of a lot more useful. It learns earthquake, but it gets STAB, which is critical to being an effective pokemon in Victory Road. It also learns Rock Smash, Strength, etc. so I see no reason to even bother with Tauros - it is not required at all for all 8 badges. I never used it.
**So what do I actually recommend for Crystal?**
1. Typhlosion
2. Jolteon
3. Kadabra (or Espeon if you like wasting 4 hours)
4. Crobat
5. Quagsire/Lapras/Gyarados -> Suicune
6. Utility -> Nidoking
The reality is that you can beat the entire game with Typhlosion, Jolteon and your psychic user of choice. They have super-effective damage against almost everything, and are all special attacking pokemon that often sweep even when they do not get special effective damage. Crobat will not be super useful, but will be more powerful and more useful than Fearow. Suicune will definitely be useful for Victory Road and the elite four - comes just in time where you actually need it as you we really don't need a good water type before that. The 6th slot can be whatever - it doesn't matter. Maybe that can be a Spore/Mean Look user until you get Nidoking. I know Moon Stone is also received at the end of the game, but it's no worse than Tauros getting Earthquake to become useful and is a better late-game choice due to the typing.
For me it was pretty much the same. Having a flying pokémon it's useless i just used a level 11 hoothot to get everywhere an deposit right away espeon worth the waiting tho. I used thyplosion, gyarados, ampharos, jynx, espeon and snorlax for filler and i sweeped johto and kanto and they weren't even overleveled i don't know if i got lucky but i beated red on my first try with that team all 53-55lvl It was pretty easy compared to fire red where you have to level up so much and the type coverage hard on the elite four
@@naxo9975 Yeah, the reality is that as the game goes on, Typhlosion and Espeon will essentially be the best 2 pokemon out of this entire list and can handle themselves in almost all situations. Even if they don't get super effective damage, their special attacks hit so hard it's still often better to attack than switch.
I wish ampharos was available in crystal - I would have recommended that over Jolteon just to move on with the game even faster for sure.
Jynx is a cool pokemon for Mean Look, Sleep, etc. for catching, and it has good sweeping stats. If Suicune is not available (because you're not playing Crystal), then I'd say Jynx is an extremely suitable replacement to take on the Dragon Gym, the last few routes, Victory Road and Lance's team.
After this, I don't think the remaining pokemon matter that much - it can be anyone as long as you have enough move slots for HM usage. The game only requires 3 or 4 active offensive pokemon - not a full team. I think going in this game with a full team mindset is actually going to make it harder and more time-consuming rather than easier. Typhlosion it just so good that the amount of coverage it gets renders so many pokemon obsolete - Fire, Lightning, Ground and Steel kill so many things just in 1 pokemon.
And since psychic moves are basically better Normal type moves that pretty much always hit hard against everything, there is no reason to run a Normal pokemon either.
At the end of the day, I don't think this video answers the question people want answered: "What pokemon do I actually need to do really well in the game?" My answer is Typlosion and Espeon/Kadabra with HM slaves, followed by Jinx or Suicune - whatever is more easily accessible (and Jinx + Scyther for efficient catching). That's pretty much all a person needs to know. Simplifies everything.
@@Katie-hb8iq yep with those four pokemon you'll get your way through the game easily cause of all the tm coverage i just got snorlax cause its one of my favorites but yeah it didn't help that much but if you're gonna play gold give it a try on my team hahah i didn't know jynx was version exclusive btw and also mystic make mistakes sometimes like on kanto where he recommended nidoking who's useless against elite four except for bruno and also here with fearrow but he's fun to watch
Looking through all of this I'd say caused Confusion, and it was super effective.
I use Typhlosion for earthquake. It is a monstrosity. Especially when battling Bruno's hitmontop
"Alakazam was a good choice because he got all the elemental punches. But we can't use him because he's trade evolution."
Hypno that does the exact same thing: **cries**
Bite is special in gen 2. So you could give Eevee Bite, then evolve it so you don't have to have two Psychic moves
Make remastered team for heartgold and soulsilver pleaseee
Hells yeah
Please
PokeMon (w/out Egg Moves or Trades) for GBC:
- Typhlosion
- Fearow
- Ampharos (G/S) or Electabuzz (C)
- Machop (temporarily for Whitney) to sub. for Espeon (though it's a lot of work)
- Tauros
- Lapras
I did the calcs, Bite is actually better than Shadow Ball
Also, Rock Smash is so bad in this gen (20 BP) that your better off using Strength against Red's Snorlax. Even against Jasmine's Steelix, yeah, that's how bad it is.
Doesnt rock smash reduce defense though? But yeah Rock Smash is trash useless
@@butteredsalmonella it does, but it only has a 40% chance. If it was 50 or 60 maybe it would be decent.
I think that rock smash is just for hm's.
Just the In game Spearow," kenya" itself if sufficient to clear entire game, even red, done that many times.
The exp boost works quite well as it acts like trade pokemon.

3:49 - Fearow, (Peck ->) Drill Peck, Return, Agility, Fly
5:22 - Ampharos (Gold/Silver) Thunder Punch, Fire Punch, Light Screen, Thunder Wave.
6:44 - Electrabuzz (Crystal) Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Strength
7:52 - Machop (Temporary for Whitney)
8:22 - Espeon, Psybeam, Psychic, Hidden Power, Shadow Ball
10:55 - Tauros, Rock Smash, Strength, Earthquake, Thrash
11:51 - Lapras, Surf, Perish Song, Ice Beam, Psychic
@Nick Cruz I was just writing down the video for easy reference. Not my team. :)
Every time I use a lapras the move set is
-Surf
-Ice beam
-Confuseray/Perish song
-Body slam
PSA: Ampharos's Thunder Wave is actually not useful for catching wild Pokemon in Gen 2. Because of an oversight in the game's code, sleep and freeze are the only non-volatile statuses that increase a Pokemon's catch chance. Poison, paralysis, and burn do bugger all. It's still a good move, but I just want to let y'all know not to use it on a Pokemon you're trying to catch. If you want to catch a wild Pokemon, either put it to sleep or just throw balls. (You could also get really lucky with an Ice-type move, but I wouldn't count on it.)
girafarig with stab psyhic move and being the best crunch-er is so underrated

I would do morning sun for espeon instead of psybeam, since you already have Psychic
I agree.
But what about pp's
@@dzplayers3428 lol
@@Nerdboying333 lol
@@Nerdboying333 Power points get your mind out of the gutter
There are a few move differences I would make. For Electabuzz I would use Thief, which is Special, instead of Strength, which is Physical. I would recommend just leveling up Eevee to lvl 30 for Bite instead of Shadow Ball. It's only 20 power weaker but it's Special, and Espeon has much higher Special. You miss out on Confusion, but Bite works just as good on Morty, and if you don't want to over level for Psybeam for Chuck you can just use Fearow and Electabuzz. Finally if you use HM Mules effectively you don't need Strength on Tauros either. It's still a strong move but I would use Headbutt instead. It's only 10 power weaker, and it has a chance to flinch which Tauros can take excellent advantage of with its 110 Speed. You also still have Thrash if you need more power. My recommend HM Mules are Paras early on for Cut, Flash, and Rock Smash, and Psyduck later with Strength, Flash, Whirlpool, and Waterfall. Once you have Psyduck and Tauros with Rock Smash you'll only ever need Paras for Cut.
For typhlosion, instead of iron tail or sunny day, I would recommend Earthquake
earthquake tm is being used on tauros (although iron tail can probably just be used there instead)
My team for latest Crystal run:
-Typhlosion
-Fearow
-Donphan (Phanpy caught in same spot as Spearow in morning, can’t learn Dig sadly, but even Mudslap on Donphan works fine til EQ)
-Victreebel (don’t have patience to reset for Electabuzz tbh)
-Kadabra (can’t trade for Alakazam but almost as powerful as Espeon, easier to get, and all 3 element punches)
-Lapras

One error, Elekid doesn’t have thunder punch when you hatch it. But it does have dizzy punch. Would it be a better option to keep dizzy punch on electabuzz or just go for strength? Tauros already has strength.

My teamed rocked Johto and Kanto! I played through Silver on an google emulator on my school ipad. I suffered from depression and my pokemon were always there for me. Unfortunately when school ended I had to return my ipad and my save file will be gone forever. My Pokemon help me find self worth and become a better person. Rest in peace, my friends.
My first team was insanely overleveled Feraligatr and a bunch of hm slaves....
Just a recommendation because this is what I did replaying Gold: get the Spearow from the guy wanting you to deliver it to his sleeping friend near Violet City for the Dream Eater TM, you can just take the letter off of Spearow and he'll take it off of your hands. The guy with the Spearow is in Goldenrod City. Why wait until you get there when you can catch it early? It is considered a "trade Pokemon" of sorts since it is given to you and it earns extra EXP Points in battle! Besides with Cynda and Mareep, you can breeze through the game until you get Spearow.
Ruby/Sapphire the other starters please.🙏🙏
Who agrees Like👍👍👍
I think will do the end of the B2W2 starter best teams and the HGSS remake first
@@thegreatavenger5471 yes
@@iamadeem7 Still, i think that, in a few weeks we should have all of those teams, so, i think the RSE alternate starter best teams aren't too far behind
Solid choices for the Johto Team remaster, I do want to ask if Lanturn would be a viable choice for the team which would take care of both Lapras & Ampharos/Electabuzz, and for a solid 6th member our old pal Nidoking? Possible moves Lanturn: Surf, Confuse Ray, Spark/Thunder, Rain Dance/Thunder Wave & for Nidoking: Thrash/Strenght, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Fire Punch/Double Kick
Nobody:
Mystic: We got shirts on sale
Yes I copied the pin comment
I did noticed on little flaw for Electabuzz, it can only be obtained in the post game since in the English version of Crystal you don’t get the gift eggs, and you can’t obtain Elekid in the games unless you breed Electabuzz.
Ruby/shappare/emerald pls. Mystic (srry for the worng spelling)😁🙏
are you going to do the same for hg ss ?
I remember teaching my Espeon, Zap Cannon always thought that was so cool
more like miss cannon
I have a question. How come for Kanto remastered you did the FRLG remakes, but with the Johto remastered you did the original GSC games?
That was originally how it was done in the beginning lol. I wanted to stick to originality.
@@MysticUmbreon that makes sense. Its just weird how you focus on a remake for the first one but then the original for the other is all.
and HGSS is getting rarer and rarer and you can easily buy GSC on eshop
Dang dude, you're on a roll, you also chose my favorite Johto starter too!
Can you soft reset for Elekid?
Imagine you do the Johto part with the Johto team and do the Kanto part with the Kanto team.
That's genius!
Crystal clear rom
You're a mad lad if you do it
Yeah...biggest oops for Crystal is I think the egg is chosen based on your trainer number, so getting all the way to hatching the egg from Goldenrod only for it to NOT be an Elekid just kinda screws people over in Crystal...
Ikr
Does this team also work for heart gold and soulsliver?
Prolly not, since gen4 has special/physical attacks divided. In the end you can defeat anyone with any team tho, it's a Pokemon game
No
No
I realize I'm commenting on a 3 year old video, but I always considered Kanto to be the second half of the game, not end game.
Just finished watching the kanto remastered. And now, you already made a johto remastered. I admire your passion
Hey, my love for Pokemon usually goes back and forth, but I'd love to subscribe. I love your Pokemon videos and they're so very entertaining and enjoyable. I hope you keep making things based on Pokemon.
You said that you are using fire punch on Ampharos for Grass resistance
So why not use ice punch??
It will counter it's grass resistance and also it's weakness to ground
I don’t think ampharos learns ice punch
It doesnt get it for some stupid reason
The problem is that you can't get electrobuzz before you beat jhoto so what electric type Pokemon is good early game in Pokemon crystal??
I agree with Espeon, but for anybody who doesn't want to go to the hassle, just go with Kadabra. It's not that badly inferior to Alakazam. Definitely not as good as Alakazam or Espeon, but super easy to get and definitely good enough for your Psychic needs.
I’ve always used girafarig. Does great against ghost types, and stomp or strength come in handy, little underpowered with confusion til lvl 41, but it does the job
No idea if anyone will see this but what's better for Crystal as a normal type
Miltank or Ursaring
Ursaring😁
Does anyone know the best place to get spearow? I’m currently in the middle of sprout tower.
Bulbapedia
on the route above the first one
Electabuzz helped me to win against Lance and Erika.
My team on soulsilver:
Feraligatr
Crobat
Magmortar
Ampharos
Espeon
Heracross
ssd
Magmortar isn't until post game
My actual team on SoulSilver was:
Ampharos lvl 100
Espeon 89
Crobat 100
Lugia 99
Meganium 100
Ho-Oh 100
First time watcher, these videos made me subscribe 👍
Hey mystic hope the streams are amazing this weak like always
So I took your advice and here’s the problems I’ve run into
1. Lapras can’t learn waterfall and you need it to get through the road to the elite 4. The best option I’d Say is Psyduck and Golduck. You can find them both on Route 35 after you get surf. They can learn confusion and ice punch which are both useful. High special and decent physical attack. Also not as hard tedious to get as lapras.
2. Just because you don’t want to include trade evolutions doesn’t mean you shouldn’t include pre evolutions of those Pokémon. Machoke and Kadabra are both still way better options than espeon and Tauros. They’re both easier to find and level up while having access to better moves. Kadabra gets confusion at the same level and you can just buy abra, give it elemental punches and train it in ilex Forrest until it evolves. Machoke gets good fighting moves the elemental punches and Dig which is useful until you get earthquake. If you don’t want to keep using the machop you get or want to stick to your criteria, I’d say a better option is Sudowoodo. It’s comes with Low Kick which is better than having Rock smash as the only fighting move with Tauros. Also got faint attach strength rock slide earthquake dig and the elemental punches. For Pychic Kadabra is the best option since drowzee is too slow
Actually as weird or crappy as it might sound, your second best option for psychic type moves is butterfree. You find caterpie early on, and it fully evolves by level 10 and learns confusion after right after evolving. It also learns psybeam at level 34 and even learns gust which kinda helps. Also it learns psychic and giga drain through tm
Replace fearow with dragonite later on. Fearow becomes absolute garbage towards the end of the game.
you take that back right fucking now
If you’re playing crystal and don’t have access to mareep, i would recommend lanturn with surf, thunder, rain dance, and ice beam. Basically replacing lapras as well freeing up a spot for bellossom. ;) Also i guess crobat isn’t a thing according to mystic. Lol.
