So, the "Sudowoodo" thing in the rules is because I had to re-render this video to fix something else, but because I already started editing next week's challenge, that text had already been updated to the new text. It's a weird leftover of some of the text being from an older version of Adobe Premiere. Sometimes I forget I have to manually fix that since I don't have to with the other bits of text. Sorry about that!
Man, that fossil pick really proved useful this run. Glad you said which one you took!

On black and white chalenges you could battle Alder, the true league champion as a "secret final boss" like Steven on Emerald challenges,. Anyway, great work as aways!
he's said in the past that he doesn't do that because black and white runs usually take soooo much longer than his other runs because of the exp formula in these games

@@aidrianpatullo598 Nice, it makes a lot of sense!
@NegaSyrus5000 he uses rare candies after he makes out the EVs of his pokemon, so in a solo run its relatively early, in this one it was after a few attempts at the elite 4
It's absolutely hilarious that MDB calls out the whimsicott line as the tank of the team, well ignoring that Mandibuzz is worse in both attack stats and better in both defense stats and HP! 😂
Whimsicott is pretty tanky in later gens, mostly thanks to getting the Fairy type to shore up its coverage and Prankster to reliably disrupt the opponent's offense. Not so much in gen 5 though.
You can challenge Cynthia in the Post-game in Gen 5 BTW, in Undella Town. Don't go in her villa until you're prepared, because she'll Battle you the moment you enter her summer home.
Hi mdb! I found you while watching yt at school a few years ago. I forgot about your channel for awhile but recently found it again and subbed. Glad to be back :D
Love your content MDB. I don't comment much, but I apparently watch you more than I thought. I was in your top 0.4% viewers this year according to RUclips's recap!
Some suggestions for HGSS runs, since you said you probably can't beat Red with only 1 Pokémon: Try a solo run with an Ice type so you don't take Hail damage, or something that can change the weather. That would also mean Blizzard isn't guaranteed to hit. Do some full team runs like version exclusives and type specific teams ☺️ Also I support the Maractus crowd 🌵
I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is. For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.
What about playing Pokemon Platinum with only “version exclusives”. That would be every Pokémon added in for the Platinum Dex. And whatever fossil you get with your trainer ID, I guess.
Im surprised you didnt start with a post game mon that is exclusive to give yourself four mons through the playthrough. You should consider doing this for future runs Side note even if watchog had used retaliate first you would have survived
There’s one more version exclusive run you squeeze out of the DS. Platinum has real exclusives: Magmar, Electabuzz, Tropius, and Tangela. Use Giratina-Origin for good measure and for fairness with DP.
On our way through, I took the Plume Fossil. I knew if I didn’t say what I took, you’d all ask. Actually, now that I think about it, everyone asks anyway. Comments are good for the RUclips algorithm.
Hey Mah- Dry-Bread, I have been watching you since 2020, and I'm very excited you picked the one I put in the chat. Thanks for reading and taking my challenge, I even graduated from college this week, so that's a fitting gift😀. I figured it would be an interesting challenge, I guess we'll see if a pure rock 🪨 type can beat Gold Version.
Pokemon White 2 with only Bad Abilities. Slowstart (Regigigas and switch it out, when 5 turns are over), Truant (Slowking and/or Durant), Stall(Sableye), Defeatist (Archeops), Normalize(Delcatty) Or Pokemon Platinum with all 3 Wormadam forms. or Pokemon Mirror Match. As much Dittos with Transform as the Enemy has Pokemon
Mandibuzz is one of my favourite gen 5 Pokémon. She's such a bulky Flying tank, that if it wasn't for Pokémon like Skarmory or Gliscor she'd be the best in that category period.
Sudowoodo counts as a Christmas run for sure: not only can he be the Tree in which the following episode can be placed under, but part of where the tradition of Santa Claus comes from is that on Saint Nicholas's Feast day (December 6th Western churches, 19th for Eastern) good kids get Christmas treats, and instead of coal, naughty children get sticks. I guess the sticks were so old they petrified and then became a pokemon.
mdbma : Why aren't you using pokemon randomizer to replace starter with pokemon from post game in this version exclusive runs ? Wouldn't it bring more variety and make chalanges funnier ?
Mandibuzz is one of my favorite pokemon, I'm excited to see how this goes! I feel like if you ever want to try Gen 6 either ORAS or maybe modded Emerald with a Mandibuzz and Briviary would be cool
I would love to see how you'd handle a Gold or Silver run with only Mantine. It's only flying move is Wing Attack but it has terrible attack. (and learned at level 40!) Surf is really the only good move you'll get, but of course many pokémon in a gen 2 run (where it matters) resist water. Return won't be great either due to the low attack. Maybe an interesting idea?
This showcases how absurd Vulluby's evolution level is. Even having it from the start, on a small gimmick team, it's not fully evolved when arriving at the E4. That's something I expect of a Pseudo Legendary, not some random bird.
Some have pointed this out, but you could've grabbed a Tornados since it's a version exclusive available before post game. If you haven't done this in White yet you should remember that and grab Thundurus.
MDBAMA Do you know about the Eviolite in Castelua city? I was wondering if you use it in your black and white challenges. Especially with Pokemon like Vullaby that take long to evolve.
hey MDB, this is an fyi comment regarding the pronunciation of Vullaby (if you don't care, feel free to disregard this comment, I completely understand) it rhymes with lull-a-bye. I pronounced it the same way when I was younger until I realized that was its namesake
I’m assuming the roaming legendary, though version exclusive, would cause issues with production time is why it’s not on the exclusive list for these challenges, as well as 2 legends on the team take away some of the spirit of challenge.

Well sudowoodo whole this is it impersonate trees, guess its starting impersonating the rules too
I was about to leave a whimsical comment on that. I'm glad I don't have to. 😂
I now want that to be a running gag. Replacing one random word Sudowoodo in each video.
Me too you should do it more often
For me from now Sudowoodo = Version Exclusive
The sudowudo challenge could absolutely be a Christmas challenge in its self cuz it does imitate and look like a tree
But Snover is literally a snow-covered tree
Start with a shiny sudowoodo and it would really be Christmas-y
My suggestion : Pokemon White2 or Black2 with only one Maractus 🌵
Keep it running 🌵
We need this
I’ll spice it up by suggesting a duo run of Maractus and Cacturne!
🌵
🌵
Maractus to support the Maractus guy.

Pokemon BW2 with one Maractus, for the maractus guy!

In my completely unbiased opinion, this is MDBs best video.
Because you have Gothita.
I didn't know seismitoad was double week to water. Great video

Sudowoodo solo ! This runs insane 🎉
Gotta love how Mandibuzz is just absolutely jamming at around 25:00
You can challenge Cynthia in the Post-game in Gen 5 BTW, in Undella Town. Don't go in her villa until you're prepared, because she'll Battle you the moment you enter her summer home.
0 out of 10. You did not use only Sudowoodo!
Maractus is calling, MDB. You can't run forever. *dun dun dunnn*
🌵
Made it harder by not finding the roaming Tornadus after getting the 8th badge. Give an extra pokemon for the elite 4.

Gen. 5:
- Massive regional dex
- Floods you with it instead of flooding with oldmons
- Has very few version exclusive mons
- Somehow people hate it...

Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is.
For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.
It’s a cool idea, but sounds pretty technical. I’m not sure if MDB would be into that.

That's not a bad idea. Lots of options.
Only Sudowoodo in combat? 1:17
It's in the pinned comment
Week 40 of asking for a Flareon solo run (now recommending B2W2)
I'd love to see (if possible) the version exclusive teams take on different gens, like can the Gold exclusives beat Emerald or alike
So glad you played Black 1 everyone dismisses it for 2 instead
Im surprised you didnt start with a post game mon that is exclusive to give yourself four mons through the playthrough. You should consider doing this for future runs
Side note even if watchog had used retaliate first you would have survived
There’s one more version exclusive run you squeeze out of the DS. Platinum has real exclusives: Magmar, Electabuzz, Tropius, and Tangela. Use Giratina-Origin for good measure and for fairness with DP.
Looking forward to the White run. My Liligant with own tempo, petal dance and quiver dance swept the elite four!

Pokémon Conquest Run?
Pokémon Rumble Blast maybe?
Sudowoodo?
Whole run invalid, didnt use Soodowoodo in battle
Sudowoodo is one of my favorite Gen 2 Pokemon and its on my birthday as well. Kinda hype tbh
Pokemon White 2 with only Bad Abilities.
Slowstart (Regigigas and switch it out, when 5 turns are over), Truant (Slowking and/or Durant), Stall(Sableye), Defeatist (Archeops), Normalize(Delcatty)
Or
Pokemon Platinum with all 3 Wormadam forms.
or
Pokemon Mirror Match. As much Dittos with Transform as the Enemy has Pokemon
Can you believe he took the Plume fossil?

Was gonna ask about the sudowoodo but you answered it
Keep up the amazing vids
I do miss the fallout and Skyrim playthrus
Can you beat Pokémon platinum with 2 spoinks, one named boingo and one named oingo.
Maractus for the maractus man!
🌵

Week 14 of remembering to ask for you to do a Zorua run in whatever Pokemon game you want.
Justice for Sudowoodo! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Never realised how great Mandibuzz is. Thanks and merry Christmas.
Btw: Which fossil did you take?
Also: can you beat Pokemon X/Y with one Noibat?
Pokemon Emerald with only a Deoxys would be an Interesting run
Make it fire red, and he'll prolly make it happen
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum might be better, then deoxys can change forms.
@@nextdoorneighbour fact actually
Pokemon Platinum with only Beedrill and Fortress
Love the fact that you used gothitelle, she never gets used!!!!
yaaay that was so fun! :D i always love team runs

"Cottonee will be the tank of the team"
You have three tanks. Especially by the standards of this channel.
MDBAMA - Why in Black and White runs do you not battle Alder? You do post game in Gen 2 and Gen 3 but not Gen 5
29:57 I didn't know Seismitoad was a Fire/Ground type. Or that Energy Ball was a Water move.
I haven't said it in some time but I'll say it again... pokemon red/ blue with only 1 horsea
Wow sudowoodoo looking weird these days
MARACTUS GANG, RISE UP
Yes! Yes! Yes! Best Pokémon run! (I really really like Sudowoodo)
I would love to see how you'd handle a Gold or Silver run with only Mantine.
It's only flying move is Wing Attack but it has terrible attack. (and learned at level 40!)

Week 39 of asking for B2W2 with only one Remoraid
Mandibuzz is one of my favourite Pokémon! Finally it gets some recognition!
Every Time you said gothita, i just heard the donkey kong “GROHIHA”
This showcases how absurd Vulluby's evolution level is. Even having it from the start, on a small gimmick team, it's not fully evolved when arriving at the E4. That's something I expect of a Pseudo Legendary, not some random bird.
The Driftveil City music will forever remind me of the dancing toothless meme 😂
Some have pointed this out, but you could've grabbed a Tornados since it's a version exclusive available before post game. If you haven't done this in White yet you should remember that and grab Thundurus.
WE WANT MARACTUS
🌵
love these version exclusives seems like a fun challenge
these runs are always so fun.
The Electric and Ground gyms in both versions of these games are both the biggest gym battles
Kinda funky looking Sudowoodos, but Gen5 is my favorite so I won't judge lol
29:57
Huh, Sizmatoad is double weak to water?
MDBAMA
Do you know about the Eviolite in Castelua city? I was wondering if you use it in your black and white challenges. Especially with Pokemon like Vullaby that take long to evolve.
Don't stretch for the second Bethesda challenge. It will be just as sweet in 2025
I love the Santa hat given to sudowudo
An Archen only run would be awesome to see!
hey MDB, this is an fyi comment regarding the pronunciation of Vullaby (if you don't care, feel free to disregard this comment, I completely understand)
it rhymes with lull-a-bye. I pronounced it the same way when I was younger until I realized that was its namesake
Yellow with Gary's team and moves.
I don't know if he's done it before.
Is it possible for u to do these challenges from gen 6-7? Or does it get weird with the randomizer
which fossil did MDB pick again? i missed that part
My suggestion: Crystal with only Jolton,
Also just do any game with the eeveelutions.
Why didn't u chatch and use the Genie bc thats also a black exclusive
Bianca really locked in on that final fight
I can’t wait for the video where you play Let’s go Eevee, but just act like your playing Let’s go Pikachu.
Not so Black and White, is it? (Sorry, couldn't resist)
Requesting Pokemon B2W2 With Only One Chinchou.
Pokemon Platinum with the Beldum line you use Beldum and able to evolve it to Metagross for the run.
I’m assuming the roaming legendary, though version exclusive, would cause issues with production time is why it’s not on the exclusive list for these challenges, as well as 2 legends on the team take away some of the spirit of challenge.
Black 2 or white 2 with version exclusives?
Pokemon Black with pikachu
Pokemon Black with eeveE
Pokemon Black with fossil pokemon
You know that you don't have to wait until after the 2nd gym for sawk or throw right?
I was wondering how you'd handle the Petilil/Cottonee thing.
Is Vullaby/Mandibuzz not a physical attacker? Really interesting seeing it as a special attacker in this run.
Can you beat Pokemon BDSP with only Fairy Types?
I was watching the Project Zomboid videos and I completely forgot about the premier
MDB drinking game: take a shot right away every time he says right away
Sudowoodo Gold run!? It's not Crystal, but I'll take it! 😁
Poochyena run when 😢
I am holding on fast.
The Christmas run will be a challenge run in Gen 6.
Would love a set damage only run (like dragonbreath, hyperfang, supersonic)
My suggestion for a challenge: Pokemon Emerald with only 1 mudkip :3
I'd like to see Pokemon Emerald with only one Taillow.
