At level 100, a Pokemon that used vitamins and had no battles would have an extra 40 points in each stat. If the Pokemon has max stat experience, it will have 63 in each stat. Vitamins give 2560 stat experience, and you can't use them if you have 25600 or more stat experience in that stat. You need to battle Pokemon to reach the true max, which is 65535. There are diminishing returns for getting higher stat experience because there's a square root in the formula. The formula takes the square root of your stat experience, then divides the result by 4.
I know TMs aren't exactly free, but theres not really any stopping you from just keeping extra punch TMs on your person, and replacing them with the one that works best for the next major fight.
Yeah, when I do gen 2 solo runs, I always grab a few of any punch TMs the Pokemon can learn. It's really handy, since you can use them like the unlimited-use TMs in later gens.
On our way through, I battled Youngster Joey. 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.
Love the fact that MDB favourite Pokémon is Drowzee while Jrose's is Kadabra. Adds to the friendly (and it is based on what I've seen of your channels promoting/supporting each other) rivalry 💪🔥💪🔥
Sorry bro I don't think he cares about your suggestions. It's been ignored for weeks now and next week he's doing another team challenge that no one ever asks for.
A hint for Gold/Silver. When it comes to red, and you get stuck, Curse, Rest, Return and Protect while holding leftovers makes him decently easy with any pokemon.
Always fun to go back to your favorites. I don't use Lanturn every time, but it's a nice treat when I do. Speaking of Lanturn, requesting Pokemon B2W2 With Only One Chinchou.
The amount of stat experience you need to max out in a stat is 65535, and vitamins stop working when you get to 25600, so not even half. Maxing out just takes reaaaaally long in Gen I and II.
Exactly. Most 100 levels mons don't ever get maximum stat exp unless they were trained with Pokérus active OR just kept battling very low levels mons all the way to level 100 (stat exp is fixed for the pokemon species but general experience varies with level of the pokemon being fought). The only sure way of getting any mon to maximum stat exp in gen I & II is by pumping 10 of each vitamin before even starting training, now you have a mon that will reach maximum stat exp naturally when going for level 100. Otherwise, you're going to be doing the box trick A LOT.
@@Otonio_Bruno Or gamesharking in Mews as wild encounters and knocking out 400 of them, after the vitamin diet. It's a good thing they changed the system into the modern one, in Gen III!
Everyone who mentions Mikey on this I am telling they need to tag him please tag him I don't know if you can actually tag a Creator on RUclips in somebody else's video but I know he's got Twitter you can tag him on there I don't know if he's still uses it though
I've heard a lot of people describe Lethal Company as "co-op Pikmin" and while it's not accurate for everything going on in the game. It does get across the point of what you're supposed to do surprisingly well.
Happy Birthday, MDB! I wonder if it would've helped to keep Hypnosis for the long haul. Maybe it could've made things like Red's Snorlax more reasonable to deal with. The elemental punches are buyable TMs, along with Headbutt, so you could swap those moves around as you saw fit without worrying about permanently losing access to any of them, while hanging onto Hypnosis for those times when you want to try putting a troublesome foe to sleep.
That was a cake walk challenge until then, and I think except Snorlax I think you will be able to beat Red at level 80 or 85 maybe. Pokémon Challenge suggestion: You are free to go with the game of your choice, but the challenges is using only middle evolution stage pokémon. (For Exemple: If you pick Bulbasaur as your starter, you can only battle with Ivysaur.) You are not allowed to use pokémon who's has no evolution or only 1, it must be a pokémon with a 2 stage linear Evolution. So pokémon like Eevee or Tyrogue are not allowed, but pokémon like Oddish, Poliwag or Ralts are allowed. Try number: 19
Stopping by to say happy birthday, and also thank you for all these amazing videos. As well as thank you to you and your friends for helping me through a bad time. Your videos got me through a rough patch, and i always look forward to your videos. The pokemon stadium lets play was my 1st lets play that i watched, and i enjoyed every episode. Thank you MDB for being so awesome
I never got to really pick a "favourite" pokemon like you, Mr Dry Bread, because I got the players guide with RED and BLUE and picked my team purely based on graphs that were a primitve form of Base Stat Totals....never once did i say "oh that pokemon looks cool" and train it based on that alone.
Happy birthday! My birthday is today too and I wanted wish you happy birthday on your actual birthday😊 nice to share a birthday with an awesome content creator❤
Getting to this video a little late, bit that just means I get to wish you a happy birthday on your birthday! Happy Birthday MDB! Glad you got to use your favorite this time.
Happy Birthday! I have an idea for a run, but I’m not sure how possible it’d be. Any generation, and Pokémon to make it work, but you can only damage opponents using non-volatile damage, so poison, toxic, and burn damage. Moves like poison sting don’t count since it is a damaging move that inflicts the status, but poisonous gas, poison powder, will-o-wisp, etc. are all fair play. Thank you for all your hard work and keep on keepin on!
Hey MKHB. Happy birthday! I think you should consider putting an attempt counter for high attempt number battle in the corner. Would really add some context to what is happening! Thanks for the great content!
I watch all of these challenge videos that I want to say that happy birthday MDB I’ve been watching you for I don’t know how many years I miss your randomizer videos. What a gig you should bring those back anyway just wanted to say I love your videos and happy birthday, I think the reason that I love your videos so much because I’m blind myself so I am able to enjoy Pokémon with your entertaining commentary 2:39
On the topic of Drowzee, I might as well suggest folks to watch MDB's LP of Pokémon Stadium with his friends. They played the mini games too and the Drowzee hypnosis one is hilarious as it keeps speeding up until there is just one left standing. Also it was overall funny to see them trying to get through the game with rent Pokémon before switching to proper ones during the high tier cups as that game is ridiculously unfair and straight up cheats sometimes pffff.
Happy early birthday MDB! I can’t BeLieVe you don’t record vids the same day they’re uploaded! Anyway, hope everyone is having a nice day, including you MDB
@Mah-Dry-Bread i was wondering if you could say "gyarados". Yup thats it. Im just wondering since i have not in 5 years of watching heard you say it once lol. Love the content 👌
I was always partial to drowzee and hypno when I was younger. Kadabra was cool and all but finding people to trade with pre internet was difficult. Not getting the final evolution always bugged me.
The absence of a fossil means I can't comment. And by extension, I cannot once again ask you to take the fossil opposite the one you say you took. Just to see who notices. Maybe that can also be a gag in games where you don't have a fossil to take on the way. Adding that in a random spot to see who notices.
Hey Mah-Dry. I think a fun or frustrating challenge would be to use only set damage moves like sonicboom and dragon rage and RNG based moves like metronome and magnitude. You can only use those type of moves to deal damage. I know you have done a metronome based challenge before and it was crazy, this will give you a little more variety, but not much.
I hope you do a furfrou only run once you start doing pokemon x and y challenges! I used Furfrou on my team the last time inplay through x and was surprised how strong it was!
If you had chosen Cyndaquil to have been replaced for Drowzee in the beginning, your opponent would have had Feraligator which uses Bite, and I think it would be a bit more difficult of a run
Challenge idea. Any gen, its a single pokemon run but you have to catch a new pokemon on the next route after each gym. Previous pokemon becomes an HM user (if possible) or gets boxed/released.
You know, I thought about Ice Beam (one of my favorite moves too!), and that inspired me on an idea of a challenge. Might be stupid, but here goes: Pokémon (any edition you wish), but the movepool should only consist of moves that contain the exact type in their name! The team is at your disposal - might as well just be a team of Smeargle. For example, Ice Beam has "Ice" in it, "Water Spout" has "Water" in it. Please note that derivatives such as "Flame" for "Fire", or "Thunder" for "Electric" would not count!
Calling a Drowzee that will never evolve a Hypnope would have been awesome : 3
Would be hilarious
Hypnot

To be fair to Koga, an opponent that can read minds must be a terrible match for a master of ninja trickery.

I know TMs aren't exactly free, but theres not really any stopping you from just keeping extra punch TMs on your person, and replacing them with the one that works best for the next major fight.
Yeah. Like, while not needed, having Thunderpunch for Lance would have made thay fight a tad easier
Yeah, when I do gen 2 solo runs, I always grab a few of any punch TMs the Pokemon can learn. It's really handy, since you can use them like the unlimited-use TMs in later gens.

Did he take youngster joey, or youngster joey?
youngster joey has a great twitter game but youngster joey is also really good at youtube
He took his Rattata

Red will only ever use his 2 Full-Restores on Pikachu. Thats how he us programmed
In gen 2 they only use healing on their highest level pokemon
Mandjtv gonna love this vid 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Here we are ! For my suggestion of a challenge : Pokemon White2 or Black2 with only one Maractus 🌵
Good week-end for everyone ! 😊
