    Venomoth was the only truly wild shiny I ever encountered, it was in the FireRed Safari Zone. Since it was part ghost-type it was easily able to escape from the safari ball and run away

    The Mimic thing when the opposing trainer switches out is a known glitch, yes - If I remember correctly, it didn't just replace your Psychic with Wings Attack during this fight, it actually would be a permanent change to your moveset. So probably a good thing you reset

  • @Ars-Nova258
    @Ars-Nova258 2 года назад +38

    1: All you had to do was say “Metronome” and I instantly predicted that you blew yourself up at least once.
    2: I have never seen the back Sprites of either Pokémon until now. Very striking due to the color palette.
    3: 23:45 I never realized that until you pointed it out. I just thought that Giovanni was picked as his name because it’s Italian and therefore fits the crime boss stereotype.

    I remember playing blue as a kid. I beat the Pokemon League, caught Mewtwo and truely believed after soloing the league that Mewtwo was untouchable. Then my dad is like hey, what's that pokemon you think is unbeatable. Mewtwo why? No reason. How about a battle. Sure dad...sends out Cefable. I laugh my head off not knowing the horror in store for me. He proceeds to mop the floor with me. He only raised Clefable, had it at level 85, Body Slam, Thunderbolt, Bubble beam, Psychic. Holy crap...he swept my team ith little resistance and my Mewtwo was broken that day. He still brings that up and it has been 23 years lol.
    We didn't have all the information about the attack power, etc so he kept Bubble beam instead of using surf, etc. Crazy power with body slam. Paralyze, tank the psychic from Mewtwo and just chop away.
    Good memories 😊

      Clefable doesn't learn Surf, so Bubblebeam is its best water type option. It's the one "weakness" it has once more TMs become available (though Bubblebeam tends to shred well enough thanks to the 4x damage on most Gen1 Rock types). Still, that's kinda wholesome :)

It starts with ember and gets bite relatively quickly, later on it naturally learns both flamethrower and crunch. Faint attack is there too for all those annoying evasion strat pokemon.

    The problem with Wigglytuff is that it only has good Hp. It would need Chansey's skill in that it has one other good stat to show how good that hp is. But no, they did Wigglytuff dirty. The only advantage is the wide movepool. And it's hard to take advantage of when you don't have the stats to support it. Love Wiggly, but man it needs something to make it stronger.

    I think Wigglytuff got a LOT better after the Special split, making it a weird slow glass cannon with lots of HP but taking lots of damage in return. The increase in Special Attack makes it a lot more reliable and incredibly offensively versatile thanks to its movepool, so when you do play other gens consider giving the fat pink fluff with impeccable hair another shot!

  • @Alienldr
    @Alienldr 2 года назад +9

    I know for a fact accuracy and evasion moves effect the badge boost glitch. When I was younger, I would max out my Pikachu's evasion with double team, and notice it hit rock pokemon harder. This was years before it was known as the badge boost glitch. I just assumed "more Pikachus must be hitting Onix, so that must be why my attacks are hitting harder." I never assumed other stats would do that too because I never needed to max something out, and if I did, it's usually Amnesia Mewtwo that one-shot everything anyway.
    Once I saw the jrose videos bringing it up, I remember thinking "... Is that what that was?"

    • @foxbird123
      @foxbird123 2 года назад +1

I was so hungry the day before the liquid diet that I was nauseous, so I ate a bunch of food and had to focus on SOMETHING to keep it all down.

    Thought I'd mention that in gen 1 OU competitive; Clefable does actually have a unique talent that makes it kinda interesting. It's completely unwallable. You see when running Blizzard and Thunderbolt, as well as Thunderwave you can either Cripple or threaten almost everything, if only Chansey wasn't everywhere to stop you, well that's where MEGA KICK comes in! Mega kick is pretty much the only advantage that Clefable has to Chansey, and it actually enables it to threaten Chansey and Alakazam which usually would wall it! Wigglytuff gets the same move too, but it's special is so low that it doesn't really threaten anything else besides by useing Mega kick.

    With the stone evolution, any else think it is weird that some Pokémon either gain or switch typing while other don’t. I wish a mechanics of stone evolution was giving a secondary typing once evolved (or switched in the evolution). Also, I think they could have used Clefable (whether starting Gen 1 or Gen 2) to have an interesting typing once evolved, to where it retains its mono normal (then fairy typing) if it evolve without knowing Metronome, but it gains random secondary typing (to highlight the randomness of Metronome) if Clefable evolve with knowing the move.

      When I was a kid, I thought of the moon stone as the "vanilla" stone that evolved normal types. Other stones evolved into those kinds of types. But then there's Nidoking and Nidoqueen

    Nice runs, tip: with these diverse move pool types, it's sometimes faster to teach water gun & keep it a bit. After rock tunnel, if available, ice beam is better. More often then not, water gun is sufficient for everything up until celadon. Saving the bubblebeam tm cam prove faster. Using ice beam for Erika, replace with bubblebeam for rock types / Blaine / Giovanni, replace with blizzard after with it's massive power & decent acc. Leaves an open slot for defense curl / rest / reflect throught playthrough. Thanks for your vids. Always a treat to watch.

    If I had to take a guess, Wigglytuff was designed to be bad.
    Clefairy was supposed to be the series mascot, so the Jigglypuff line would be the jealous moon rabbit rival to the moon fairy. Makes sense that Clefairy would evolve into the better of the two.

      In Gen 1, Jigglypuff doesn't learn Pound until level 9. It only knows Sing prior to level 9 which doesn't even do damage.
      Jigglypuff would lose so much time putting things to sleep in the early game before Brock just to waste PP to get to Struggle, as well as wasting early game money to potion heal so it won't be sent back to a Pokémon Center and get its Sing PP refilled, that it probably wouldn't recover in terms of time difference.
      Also doesn't help matters that Clefairy starts with the offensive move Pound, only giving it even further momentum against Jigglypuff.

    Yeah, Clefable did exactly what I thought it would do. There are very few Pokemon that are the swiss army knife that it is. That being said I'd like to see Starmie get redone on the rankings as it is a swiss army knife too and a very fast one at that. Starting as Starmie you'd sacrifice the ability to recover to start as Starmie but... No having to wait fight brock with Staryu with only Tackle until level 17.
