@@viperio4345 you wouldn't be able to not use items and not use moves at the same time, because items are basically used to stall turns and there's nothing else you can do to forfeit or skip your turn. You also wouldn't be able to just- waste your PP and struggle, because using all your moves to get struggle is "using moves" and thus voiding the run.
@@robbiirvine1038 actually, you can still waste turns by switching. Another option, which is more debatable, is if you for example spam awakenings on a pokemon that isn’t asleep, so it fails. The item doesn’t get used up, but it’s kinda playing with definitions. It also doesn’t work in all pokemon games. Just switching is still a fair strategy though.
You were right from the start - this isn't a question normally asked! I expected the Rocky Helmet and similar strategies, but you expanded it far beyond that!

@@DaveyGunface N's name was given to him by Ghetis.

what a silly idea do you enjoy grinding or is the challenge enough to make you do it? in any case it's amazing that you managed to make an entertaing video out of it
I didn't enjoy the grinding at all, but since it was so easy to do I usually had something playing on the other screen the entire time. Other than that, I actually enjoyed my time with everything after the ~2nd gym. There were a lot of really nice checkpoints on the way that I enjoyed getting to and looking forward to.
I just finished and I think there’s some untapped potential- no aftermath Pokémon?! Also, did the magic guard Pokémon not take damage from anything except struggle? They seem like roadblocks I want to try this 👀
The only Pokemon you can get with Aftermath is in post-game, since it's a hidden ability for Garbodor Drifblim I believe is your only option. You can also only get one Snow Warning / Sand Stream Pokemon, also in post game, Tyranitar. Really if you want a generation to utilize the most Pokemon abilities go for Gen 4 (specifically Platinum). That really has everything you could ever want and more, and it's by far the easiest out of the first 5 generations.
For the four people who care, here's the explanation of N's full name: Natural could stand for natural numbers or the ten billion "natural" things related to e. This relates to N, because he likes math. Harmonia is exactly what it sounds like. N's themes features a special harmony. I don't know shit about music theory, but you can look it up if you care. Also, N displays several symptoms of autism, and "harmony" is sorta related to that. Lastly, Gropius obviously refers to Walter Gropius, the founding father of the "Bauhaus" architecture and design. This style is known for it's simple shapes and pragmatic designs. Once again, this can be related to autism. Thanks for reading through this bit of trivia. It must've been hard on your attention span
If you had chosen Oshawott as your starter instead of Snivy, wouldn't the 1st gym leader's monkey have had Vine Whip, a physical move that can be affected by Intimidate, instead of Incinerate, a special move that can't be affected by Intimidate?
True, although to be fair you have to go to the Dreamyard regardless, so it's just doing it in a bit of a different order. I actually don't even think you can get to the daycare before hitting up the Dreamyard either.

The main reference is Genji from Overwatch, he says it when he needs healing and trust me when I say Genji players will make sure you know that they need healing.
Never played a pokemon game, I have no idea why struggling deals damage or why they struggle in the first place. I guess the spikey looking pokemon was good because it hurt people when they touched it? Was the butterfly pokemon setting people on fire when they poked it? Frankly who cares, funny man makes me laugh while doing things I cannot understand is exactly the entertainment that brain desires.
Struggle is the consequence for running out of moves, your mon makes a last ditch effort to do Something and hurts itself badly in the process. your other two points are correct

This is it, ultra stall, you thought normal stall was bad, but this is the epitome of stall.
I know the info corner wanted us to say high or litterally anything to it, lets ignore that and thank the bottom screen corner for its tireless work.
Woulda used jellicent more, since it would speed up the cursed body stalling. Cursed body also affects special moves.
