I expected the month of jrose to be a 10-15 minute video every day (which I wouldn't be against!) Instead there's a bunch of 1hr+ impossible challenges
Camerupt is probably my second favourite pokemon (Behind yeboi Gyarados) and I'll never forget being in a double battle against my brother when I kept spamming flame charge until Camerupt was pretty fast, then he hit me with a crit and I was on exactly 2 hp, but Camerupt's hidden ability Anger Point triggered, giving me max attack and I just sweapt his team with Earthquake. Good times
I love how this video comes out the DAY I finish this challenge myself. This run I found to be far easier than I expected, but I did allow myself a perfect Numel, so results may vary.
I just stumbled on these videos and i gotta say I absolutely love these. This is exactly the kind of thing i used to do playing red and blue as a kid, except I'd do it with just a Blastoise or Gyarados or something, i cannot fathom using just a Numel never mind some of your other runs like Magikarp and Shuckle. I can't imagine the dedication and frustration this must take
"Hope this run didn't disappoint you" your runs could never disappoint me, doesn't matter if they are easy, impossible, or "complicated" I'm here for them all!
That’s an interesting idea actually. A “How much of a difference do EV’s make.” Video (or mini series) where you compare an otherwise identical Pokémon/team when properly Ev trained, The random Ev training of a casual/uninformed player and having Ev’s turned off.
If I'm correct, the Juan Kingdra double team thing is because the A.I. in the game, if it doesn't see a K.O. will either pick a move at random, or i believe some are programmed to attempt to boost stats. so my guess is that because you had full health, it didn't see a K.O. and the other half of the programming kicked in.
Precisely Magcargo's issue. It's typing is very good offensively, but it's statted as a tank... (I mean I get it, it's a snail, *of course* it's gonna be slow af, just... man, Magcargo just got screwed over by a type-stat mismatch).
Offensively, rock/fire is actually quite potent. 38 pokémon resist it, 650 pokémon normal effective and 507 SE. Ground/Fire is resisted by 29, 595 normal effective, 571 SE. Both type combos are clearly geared towards offense, but rock/ice especially have the problem that gamefreak is obsessed with making those types slow. @@mesplin3
@@Golden_Deus I looked over my data since I posted this. Fire/Rock isn't as bad as I initially thought. The rock coverage provides a decent amount of neutral coverage to otherwise strong types. Although I think Rock Head/Head Smash is a big contributor for Arcanine's success in UU.
I think the Kingdra in the Juan fight went for double team because you finally reached it with enough HP to not get knocked out by water pulse. If it sees a guaranteed KO, it will take it, but since there was no KO to take, it just selected moves randomly.
@@jordand8371 he didn't upload yesterday, but he Gave us 2 today. Though this video is very...... Generic. I still think his Gen 1 runs should have been in Fire Red. That game had actual strategy
Honestly I'm so happy that all these videos are like regular videos and not 20 min ones thank you for putting in the time and effort in doing these I know this was a lot of work so again thank you!!
So it's a good think that you got that crit on Norman's Slaking instead of the burn you wanted. Slaking has Facade, which does double damage under status and ignores the damage drop from burn, so the burn plan would just fail anyways.
@@scoobiusmaximus9508 Yep, so it is identical to its other attacking move. Wait... I'm an idiot, I forgot that Dark was Special in Gen 3. It is way better than Feint Attack.
Hope all this hard work pays off for you jrose been watching your videos for years the quality hasnt dropped even with all the extra work youre putting in really enjoyed the daily videos!!
I really like the thumbnail to this video. An apprehensive (or just dopey?) expression on the Numel over a background of one of Hoenn's many water routes. The yellow and blue compliment each other nicely. Great job!
I think Juan's Kingdra calculated that it's water pulse wouldn't knock you out (Lvl 46 0 SpA Kingdra Water Pulse vs. Lvl 68 60 HP / 100 SpD Numel: 144-172 (80 - 95.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO) so it chose a random move and you got really lucky. I obviously don't know your Numel's IVs but I guessed a fairly logical spread of average (15s) in IVs and matched your HP stat. Very lucky! Any damage even just from confusion probably results in an attack.
@@dawnsbuneary At least as far as Brock is concerned that's still base 80 power move that's healing you half the damage dealt and neither of his mons can hit you back very hard. Also stats are so low that early in the game having bad special doesn't really matter.
In the Tate & Liza battle it was really smart to go for Charcoal over White Herb, since Rollout was the better move to use for the rest of the battle. Neat!
I am living for this month of jrose. So much fun to look forward to these challenges everyday. I hope your channel gets a big push from this, you deserve it
Hey Jrose I really hope all this hard work is paying off for you. Hopefully your able to make a living doing these pokemon videos because I'm fully addicted now lol I want you to keep making videos FOREVER haha
Amazing journey! I had to take a few days to watch in short sessions due to being too busy but it was amazing! I'm excited to watch the rest of your videos as well!
33:00 What happened, I think, is that you survive a Water Pulse from full, so the AI instruction to go for the kill doesn't activate, so Juan just does whatever he wants, which is usually evasion spam.
"Too much water. 7.8/10." Words to live by from Numel, November 30th, 2022. In any case, WOW. That final clash with Wallace, which I thought would be the WORST THING EVER FOR GEN 3, went actually kinda okay in the end with the right strategy. Good to see this still works even despite a really BAD match-up.
Damn, I remember doing this same challenge like a year ago... I feel your pain. I used a different ruleset tho, so I guess that made things more bearable... with your rules, no way this can be beaten without overleveling like crazy! Keep it up Jrose, you are an inspiration to many
I absolutely LOVE Numel, and as someone who did this run on his own a while ago, it's one of the funnest Pokemon challenges I ever did. Glad to see an official video on it now ^-^ As for what Kanto solo run to do next, I have an interesting question: Which Gen 1 Fire-type is worth using your Fire Stone on? You've done Eevee and Flareon, now how about Growlithe/Arcanine and Vulpix/Ninetales? As a massive Arcanine fan, I would like to know which is best. (Day 11 of asking)
Ninetales. Scott's thoughts made a video about it some hours ago and Ninetales was far better than Arcanine because of that crucial 100 special, as well as the exp. group (Slow group can even ruin gods like Tauros).
@@N12015 that and Arcanine having balanced stats hurt it because it wasn't consistently getting one shots on its special moves This even caused BRUNO of all people to LET ARCANINE KNOW WHOSE BOSS
@Nicholas Aiello Metronome is funny, but thing with Metronome only runs is that there’s absolutely no strategy and they always turn into leveling past your problems eventually. Level up enough and it no longer really matters what move you roll.
Did he try using Amnesia in the Wallace fight? Can hit Wailord with Flamethrower since Earthquake knocks it out, tank the Water Spout, and set up Amnesia so later water moves don't one shot you.
I mean to be fair they don't know if you're just going to heal yourself. Healing is the logical choice because at worse it just resets both pokemon to neutral.
I never thought I'd hear someone say "Steven is not good at battling" considering everyone loved him as the champion, but that also isn't false considering he teaches thunder and solarbeam to Aggron. THUNDER and SOLARBEAM to BASE 60 SP ATTACK AGGRON.
@@creeperbro7677 he doesn't emulate, so I forgot about that. I emulate and when I play games like gen 2 or gen 2 remake, I code break Evo stones because they suck to get unlike gen 1
The math is 1 - 0.8^2 = 36% for qc or miss, because you calculate that both thing are not happening so 0.8 * 0.8 and if you substract that from 1 you get the probability for one (or both) things happening.
Awesome run with Numel managing to get past Wallace at level 95! But, I'm surprised you didn't attempt the bonus battle with Steven Stone afterwards, which I was hoping to see as well. I'd expect Numel to do real well against most of his team.
@@JustusRodan But, Steven Stone is typically regarded as the true final challenge of Emerald runs, and I expected him to at least mention it. I'm betting he simply forgot about it altogether.
I recently used Numel and Camerupt in a playthrough of XD. It’s a really fun one to use, but with water types being the MOST common type in the game, it’s an uphill battle 😂

Numel's typing is actually quite good. The issue is that it is an aggressive type combination like ice ground which works better for faster pokemon.

Sun reducing water moves power definitely helped majorly here, good job on the run!
I think Juan's Kingdra calculated that it's water pulse wouldn't knock you out (Lvl 46 0 SpA Kingdra Water Pulse vs. Lvl 68 60 HP / 100 SpD Numel: 144-172 (80 - 95.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO)

He usually resets for slightly better than average IVs
Would love to see a Kabutops gen 1 run. Super effective move against Brock and misty, decent speed, good atk and def, and a good movepool 👍
Yeah, but that move is ABSORB. No STAB on it, 20 Base Power and Kabutops's Special sucks. Not great.
