it's 5/4
Its 1/1
lmfao
You mean to say this ISN'T how I'm supposed to play the game? I always throw my starter away and grind a geodude to a level 100 graveler with his only attacking moves being self destruct and explosion before fighting that rocket grunt. That explains why I thought the game went downhill from there.
I see you are a man of culture as well
Yeah the story really takes a dive once you get Selfdestruct tbh
Wait what I thought he was showing us an escape method
im pretty sure he’s showing us a speedrun strategy.

Game: So you physically have a 1 in 10^3020 chance in order to get past this one Grunt.

There should be no negative sign before 3020

This one is actually pretty easy to escape because of a feature in FRLG that you've overlooked. On the Mt. Moon floor in-between the first floor and the floor with the Rocket Grunt, Tiny and Big Mushrooms are hidden items in the rocks. These mushrooms have a chance to regenerate after taking a certain number of steps. You can sell these to obtain money with which you can buy Poke Balls, catch Pokemon, and escape. Since they are infinitely renewable, there is no way you can trap yourself once you have access to Mt. Moon and before jumping the ledge to Cerulean.
Wow, that is a surprisingly easy workaround so many people missed.
Very interesting. I did not know they they would replenish like a berry tree.
But that's not as fun, is it?
Wow I had no idea those could regenerate.
Dry battery would prevent this if you threw them out, right?
I'm just imagining somewhere some five year old bringing the game to their older brother and saying "I'm stuck, help me get past" and they've somehow managed to get themselves into this scenario
The only thing worst then being the younger brother in that situation is being the older brother and absolutely failing to be able to help.
@@Charles_Anthony what are you talking about? start a new game, get all the way back without letting your brother know and bullshit your way through his many questions. "how did you get pokeballs?" "oh you know, i used a celfairy to get money........"

Master Blaster That’s the real question lmao
I laughed pretty hard at the self destruct missing the level 6 Pidgey.
6:05 lol
Well quite honestly there is another way to escape. With better odds.
First encounter wild lvl 5 or higher pidgey and waste mudsport till it hits you 6 times with sand attack then attempt missing self destruct 5 times.
(Due to odds still being against you you want to set up this checkpoint when you're there. If you fail no biggie just rince and repeat from the start)
After you've done that flee the battle and save.
Then repeat the whole thing with mudsport and explosion.
(On fail restart to the save)
Once you've wasted all selfdestruct and explosion PPs find wild kakunas and safcons to waste your remaining PPs on.
Then beat the grunt with struggle and move on and struggle out the Nerd.
And by then youre able to move tutor your graveler mega punch to just continue the game till it's finish

Good god
dear god
Horribly racist of you, wow...
If you’re curious:
The chance of being fully paralyzed for at least 177 out of 231 turns is the sum from n=177 to 231 of (231 nCr n)*(1/4)^n*(3/4)^(231-n)...
...which is about 1.204*10^-60.
And that’s not even considering the extra RNG factors.

you probably could've just done it at level 62, when graveler learns its last level-up move, but you madlad, you actually brought it all the way and i applaud you
Also level 62 makes the escape harder since graveler has to survive so many turns it is unlikely to even win at level 100.
So he would have to grind wild pidgeys with that graveler to escape.
I did the same thing with a Wurmple before the first gym in Hoenn recently. Then I played through all of the game with it up to Phoebe, and I was all hyped to finish and do a giant video on it... and my dad's girlfriend has lost the DS with the cartridge in it. Yikes.

The best softlocks are the ones where it's so extremely mathematically improbable to escape from.
Mathematically impossible means literally, truly impossible. This one is physically impossible (it's not possible to do it in the real, "physical" world) but mathematically possible (it's possible to do on paper, in the "math" world). It's mathematically possible to roll 1/4 so many times in a row, but it would take far longer than the age of the universe to do it, meaning it's physically impossible

Level 100 Graveller
Me, an AbsolBlogsPokemon watcher: are you going to level it up to 100 in a funny way tho?
For once, people are hoping not to move while a Pokemon is paralyzed...
And thatis when you hit 3/4 times
It's incredible how pointless yet absolutely genius this video is.
This pretty much sums up the entire Softlock Picking series lol
As a member of the speedrunning community, I can confirm with certainty that trainer Pokemon stats are 100% set, to the point that even when you use the Universal Pokemon Randomizer the randomized Pokemon will have the same EVs and IVs as the Pokemon it replaced.
This level of proving that a fail state technically does or doesn't exist reminds me of when my stepdad used to work at a Michelin tire plant and he had to "debug" and failproof machinery that either didn't have any kind of tech integration, or had just barely used code that was in COBOL or 4TRAN. So most of the time failproofing the machinery involved intentionally, physically throwing debris down the assembly line to fuck things up. And even back then, he heard many a fool cry "but that would never happen, who would ever do that to their machine?!?"
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
weird flex but ok
At least with the debris thing, someone could conceivably do it by not paying attention to what they're doing.
I can see that being a potential scenario if a pissed employee who just got fired throws a bunch of debris into the machine to try and destroy it.
@@tanukigalpa yep! Stuff like that is why he kept his job for a real long time, because you never know XD
@@thomasgif1834 I should ask him what he thinks of these kinds of videos. XD His in-depth Pokemon knowledge is limited to what things he's learned from Pokemon Go, but he'd probably still appreciate the RNG aspect. Maybe there's even another timeline where he's making these kinds of videos lol
The solution would take so long that the atoms in your game cartridge would decay, ruining the electronics before you finish.
Actually it would take an hour at best and the actual solution is easier than what he proposed. Pidgey has sand attack. Let it hit you once or twice, do explosion, miss once or twice, quit, save and repeat.

Aight, now somebody do a TAS where this soft-lock is actually escaped from. That'd be quite the feat of RNG manipulation!
pokemon: fun for everyone!
pikasprey: hold my geodude
You mean smergle...
F for that over leveled starter
Nah, that starter's the only one to get out of this with half its sanity intact.
As someone who's worked on both romhacking and TASing FireRed, I can tell you that all trainer pokemon do indeed have set predetermined IVs and natures in the gen 3 games. As far as the likelihood of this happening, there are ways to manipulate paralysis. You have to be incredibly precise, of course, but using EonTimer along with finding out your RNG seed, you can find the exact frames to press A to select attacks, and as long as these fall on the correct frame, you will be paralyzed. RNG is not truly random, but rather just an algorithm that is ran once every frame on the overworld, and twice every frame in battle (for most of the time). The game will run the algorithm more times whenever it needs to determine random actions, but it still remains entirely able to be manipulated. I have done quite a bit of research into the RNG of the gen 3 games, and have used a lot of that research to make TASing the game easier by using a program I developed here- github.com/jvhbv/fire-red-rng-calculator. So if y'all wanna escape this one, you can always go the RNG manipulation route.

My Pokémon when I'm trying to play competitive: *Observe*

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. Rather than have to train Graveler all the way to level 100, it should be sufficient to train it until it learns its last possible level-up move. Just to save a little time ruining your game.
then again, your graveler would have way less health to survive with, which means the grunt is more likely to kill you from all the cumulative attacks being thrown at graveler
My dude did a freakin survey on zubats and rattatas. That's dedication
Have you considered becoming a playtester? The amount of creativity you showcase with every episode of this series goes far beyond what the average playtester would think to do.
One time I accidentally trapped myself in a different way, rather than being in a certain place, I was unable to progress the story because... I lost a battle to someone in the aether paradise in sun but the pokemon centre I was sent back to was an actual pokemon centre in a different island, and I wasn’t able to get back to aether paradise because somehow the game didn’t think that this might’ve happened and since I was stupid, I couldn’t think of soft-resettting at the time and so I just ended up... making a new save.
that's big brain plays
I ran into that problem too. I thought I was just missing something because it seemed like such a simple oversight, but no. You can't fly there, you can't surf there, you can't get a ride there on any of the islands, you're just stuck. Forever. Well, unless you don't save and soft-reset.
That's crazy! I never would've thought Pokemon would let that kind of stuff happen past like, gen 5.
What? In Gen 7?
@@LilyTengoku Apparently Gladion can take you there if you left when you go talk to him in Ula Ula
pikasprey is the only entertaining monotone voice I have ever heard
It's so ironic that that person you got trapped with is the grunt you play as in fire red rocket edition
I was thinking pretty early on, "He's got to get paralyzed and stall for a million turns, doesn't he?"
Did you softlock?
Asprey: Yes
What did it cost?
Asprey: 100 hours of grinding
Also, don't forget that once you beat the Rocket grunt you also have to fight the fossil guy to advance
BUT! After you beat the rocket grunt you can just buy pokeballs and "Restart" your run lol ooor just train another graveler to 100 with the same moveset because escape is too good to claim..
You get about 400p from beating the grunt, enough for 2 pokeballs. You could easily catch another pokemon, train it up a little, and beat the scientist then go on your merry way.
An interesting alternative would be what if Pikasprey chose the Fossil guy instead of the Rocket Grunt.
@@WaterKirby1994 It would be much harder because If I remember correctly, that guy has three Pokémon, and two of them can poison you
@@tonytang7550 Pokemon can't be poisoned if they are paralyzed already.
You touched upon a really interesting point at the end there: are ANY softlocks possible in Let's Go with an unreleasable starter and infinite TMs? Aren't there NPCs that give you free balls if you ever run out? And with permanent Secret Techniques instead of HMs, you'll likely have to be locked pretty early on.
In Pikachu, avoid all trainers possible, and waste all pokeballs, and trash all items. Raise Pikachu to level 26 by catching pokemon, and teach it only thunder shock, electro Ball, thunder wave, and spark. DEfeat everybody up untill brock.
I believe the softlock outside of Cerulean City from the older games is still a problem in Let's Go where you get trapped by a trainer
@@tompatterson1548 there's still the girl in Pewter City that gives you cash every day for babysitting her Slowpoke. There's no way to stop someone from accessing that and getting money for Pokéballs and getting new Pokémon

Xetheon ?
Coming back to this video after Austin’s video, time to rewatch the whole series!
I'm a simple man, I see a pikasprey video, I let out a gorilla screech and immediately slam like
A couple of tips when trying this for yourself:
1. You can use the clearing out of all previous battles in order to level up your Graveler.
2. Don't try this yourself.
Imagine not getting paralyzed in this softlock, while in any other times you get paralyzed, you always do almost all the time.
Finally, my favorite pokemon series is back!
I love the Ace Attorney and Zero Escape music. It’s very fitting.
Very interesting lock indeed, but you missed a tiny little detail that undoes all this work. In Mt Moon there are hidden Tiny and Big Mushrooms that have a chance to regenerate after taking a certain amount of steps. So you can walk around until you find enough shrooms to be able to afford Poké Balls, catch something else, defeat the Rocket Grunt and escape the lock.

The funny thing is that Poliwag and Psyduck, the two pokemon that could have Damp, are barely out of reach. Poliwags swim happily in the small pond in Viridian city, but you can't fight them without Good rod. In Fire Red, Psyducks are also there, as well as in route 4 waters (which would be right after Mt Moon), but you need either Surf or Super rod to fight one. And no trainer that you can fight of course has either of these pokemon.
It is so funny how ps says „it would be easier to just start a new game“ everytime. As if someone would randomly come into a situation like this and really would try to escape it 😂😂

Pikasprey: The only human being who can pull off saying "PP" with a monotone!
I'm pretty sure everyone not attached to the millennial generation can do so also. Maturity.

Speaking of Let's Go, let's see a video on them to see just how childproof they are.

Love the Ace Attorney and Virtue’s Last Reward Background Music. Super underrated games
Basically
Softlock: wanted paralysis work
Normal: please no paralysis
Legitimately one of my favorite series in the entirety of life
I think to myself "What kind of loser has the time to come up with this stuff and do it?"
*Proceeds to watch whole series of soft locking videos*
0:21 “Onix-pected ways”
Another great episode of "Playing Pokemon in the most complicated way ever conceived by man".
Awesome job.
Coming back after Austin of "The SCIENCE!" contextualizes how impossible this "improbable" is only adds to the level of wonder for how insane these setups can get. XD
Heat death of the universe is more likely to happen than someone actually beating the odds (at least as an individual).
This is honestly my favorite series on RUclips, few and far between as the episodes may be.
Unbeakable softlock!
1. Put Pokemon Diamond inside DS
2. Hit DS with hammer repeatedly.
3. Game is unbeatable
4. Give it back to the gamestop Guy saying you didn't really like it
"we don't know whether trainer pokemon have preset or random IVs and the internet doesn't agree on it either" he said, in november 2019, when we already had the decompilations, afraid the internet people you asked weren't quite up to date ;)
the correct answer is (according to the source code): it depends on the trainer. most have only a preset level and random IVs, but a few important named trainers (not the rocket grunt in your case) have preset IVs.
interestingly, the personality value is computed as a hash of the mon's species name, the trainer's name, the type (single or double) of the battle, and apparently sometimes the encounter music used in the battle, but since randomized IVs in gen3 are not generated from the personality, they are actually random in this case, while other personality based values (such as shinyness, gender or ability) are deterministic in the same circumstances even without being preset.
My favorite soft locks are the ones where the odds of actually escape are despair inducing
16 years ago I witnessed a guy insert a jar in his ass, smash the jar, and then remove the shards from inside of himself by hand, and this video was far, far worse than that. Thanks, @Pikasprey Yellow.
Poor Graveler can't even go out with a bang
I really wanna see the devs react to this series.
Speaking of Lets Go:
Is there a way to softlock that?
So far no it not possible yet
Ive seen some but you can just reset
probably wont be any way to perma softlock the games, just due to the fact that your pikachu/eevee cannot be released. Even if you disable TM's they can still struggle.
The fact that he thought all this out makes my head hurt
At least he got a lot of Views on this video.
Now I understand why you where so pissed off at that shiny Geodude in the Smeargle challenge XD
wow i need more videos like this !! there aren’t enough i binged them all in a day . great content though c:
