It’s dumb but there is a situation where focus energy is useful in gen 1, if you’re using a fast Pokémon with/with a high crit rate move that wants to set up with swords dance or badge boost, you can use focus energy to NOT crit since they ignore your positive stat changes too.
JRose11 actually did use that on purpose with one of his MANY solo runs (at the time I write this, he ACTUALLY succeeded a solo DITTO run)
Not really worth it, because you're using a whole turn to do it when chances are two critical hits would probably do as much damage as setting it up.
@@williamfallsyeah but if you’re facing more than one pokemon it becomes worth it
@@williamfalls If you're +6 from swords dance and you one shot without a crit, but you do like a quarter with one it becomes worth it
Using focus energy is a legit strategy, it's not dumb but you're absolutely right
What an incomprehensible back sprite that Rhyno has.
Look like Cloyster or Lapras shell
I keep thinking it looks a bit like a weird Reznor
Rhyhorn and Rhydon are Pokémon I thought were SUPER good back in the day. I mean its a rock rhinoceros and you get it pretty late into the game so it gotta be good, right?
Yeah that was before I learned how important speed and how aweful very common x4 weaknesses are.
Actually rhydon is fairly good in competitive gen 1 singles. The meta game is dominated by normal types and being able to switch in on hyper beam is pretty good. He’s not like an S tier Pokémon or anything but rhydon and golem are both decent Pokémon in gen 1 competitive.
as well, Zapdos, a pretty good Gen 1 OU staple, doesn’t do jack shit to it
Gen 1 Meta teams feature either Rhydon or Golem, both with their own advantages over the other.
@@briankim1098not anymore sadly. Golem is agreed to just be worse in almost every way. Explosion is the only thing it really has over Rhydon and that isn’t game changing enough to be better than Rhydon. It’s still not bad or anything but it’s just outclassed
@@adamstadick2044 Competitive play wasn't really a thing 7 year old me thought about.
I just thought "Oh cool a rock rhino! Aaaand it died to some leaves..."^^
In my head canon, Sabrina gives you the TM for Psywave because she gets tired of the move costing her the win and she doesn't want to use it anymore. Change my mind xD
Canonically very few trainers beat her or any gym leader. By the end of the game, only Red and Blue have their names carved onto the statues of every gym.
While she is portrayed as somewhat childish, less so than the likes of Whitney, I don't see her giving up on a move after 2 losses even if they were close together.
@@velvetbutterfly Counterpoint: it's fucking Psywave.
@@Deadflower019 like Brock using Bide is any better?
@@velvetbutterfly Brock is the first gym and doesn't use Psychic types, let him live.
The entire strategy of the run was just "keep reseting the fights vs Gyarados until Hydro Pump misses" :D
"Lets get brock over with. At level 15 I lost all the time but as soon as I hit level 15 I won with a bit of health left." -Mah-Dry-Bread
I'd love to see more meme runs. Something like "Can I beat pokemon (insert) using only The First Pokemon?" and you use Arceus, Mew, Bulbasaur and Rhydon.
Arceus: First Pokemon in existence that created the rest of existence.
Mew: Originally the ancestor of all Pokemon. My headcanon to get around that conflict is that Mew is the ancestor of all non-Legendary Pokemon (and Mewtwo).
Bulbasaur: First in the National Pokedex.
Rhydon: The first Pokemon created in real life.
13:18 best part of the video
I think Blastoise would've been harder than Venusaur. Venusaur being part Poison has reasons to fear STAB moves such as Dig and Earthquake. Blastoise MIGHT fear Thunderbolt but that is non-stab and Rhyhorn's special is...less than stellar.
Blastoise would've been a decent fight for Rhyhorn. Great defense, water moves the whole game (so Hydro Pump at the end), plus gen 1 Blizzard (yikes 🥶).
But if he made the rival pick Squirtle, his grass type would've been Exeggutor, who is less scary than Venasaur.
So, starters in both scenarios are hard fights, but one of his (rival) picks other picks is much less threatening. I get why he chose Bulbasaur.
Ah but it also results in his Rival's water type being Gyaraods who is also flying and thus weak to STAB Rock Slide too. So Picking Venusaur made the rival have a lot more weaknesses for him to exploit than he otherwise would have had.@@AnimeNut101
Nah, blastoise + exeggutor much easier than venusaur + gyarados
Normally yes but considering type coverage in this specific run having Verusaur (Poison so fearing EQ) Gyarads (Flying so fearing Rock Slide) and Arcanine (Fire so fearing both) is NOT exactly setting up for a hard fight for a Rhyhorn.@@chrisdaignault9845
Yeah gen 1 champion exeggutor, only attking move is barrage and stomp last move is hypnosis, yeah 3 moves on a champion fight is not good
Right as you said "what an ending" my brain autofilled it with "THAT'S HIS OTHER NAME" 😂
(5:44) Which fossil did you take? I hear bananas are good for the monkey algorithm. :P
(11:41) Gotta love it when Blaine decides to heal while at full health.
(13:17) Whoa, that ambush! Good thing you were able to put that Meowth to sleep! :P
(21:24) Wow, Rhyno tanked that Mega Drain like a boss, and then that clutch PAR from Body Slam won it for you!
Great run, just wanted to mention that Rhyhorn can learn Earthquake too, the TM is on the 10th floor at Silph Co. Hope the helps in the future
In solo runs Dig's higher PP count makes it more appealing too use, plus the invulnerability turn sometimes helps like when Blaine used a Super Potion and then Fire Spin when Rhyhorn was underground.
Great run. Just to note that for Gen 1, miss chance -1 stage is 2/3 chance to hit. Gen 2+ changed this to 3/4 hit chance with -1 stage. Sand-attacking Pidgeys against slow mons are no joke.
That's even worse than I thought!
Here's a Super Comment! I burst out laughing at your superthanks rant. It's insane that youtube just does that, and Happy Holidays MDB!
Three ideas, short and simple:
How about a Vulpix run in gen 4 or 5? Might be some fun. It has some decent moves and/or can learn.
Second idea is an Eeveelution run. All Eeveelutions allowed - best would be gen 4 in Platinum, breeding will be needed, but i guess you will have some fun. On top, you need some time to relax - this should do the trick.
Last but not least, i think a Bruno Team run in gen 2 can be really weird. I just have a feeling it will be weird, but this might be interesting.
5:08 even if the rival were to use good AI it still wouldn’t go solely for Sand Attack as in gen 1 it is listed as a normal type. (That can still hit ghost types)
I’ve been requesting this for years but I still want my Pokémon Black with only Sawk and Throh run
It's finally happening this week.
This is hilarious because in addition to this video, Scott's Thoughts Just released a Rhydon line solo challenge in Fire Red today. So twice the rhino themed Pokemon today!
I mentioned that in the live chat earlier lol
They've done this a few times. Probably a coincidence but still always a treat
Coincidence is what I’m thinking it is
@@Chaosking5445 as solid snake would say... I don't believe in coincidences...
In gen 1 the first sand attack knocks your accuracy down to 66%. Absolutely brutal.
Basically demolishing any hopes of hitting anything.
Sand-Attack is a normal type move in gen 1
I was just thinking about your Super Thanks rant, so this video was especially hilarious for me. And that that RUclips employee!!
Against the rival 5, learning mimic to take agility to outspeed would probably make you win a lot lower lvls
Can rhydon learn mimic?
That sounds so fun! I love discovering old or obscure games to enjoy. And yeah, videos or tutorials that explain your exact problem clearly and solves it are the best things. Which channel was it by the way?
I hope you enjoy playing and figuring out your 1997 game!
Man I could only imagine how a FireRed run would go.
Scoot thoughs did it today too! In fire red
13:17 That cat is adorable! 💞
I remember the first time I caught a Rhyhorn in Pokémon Yellow. It looked like a really cool and strong Pokémon and I spent hours trying to catch one in the Safari Zone.
Then I saw that its moves were crappy and it struggled to even stay alive to gain EXP in battles and promptly boxed it. Poor guy. At least it got some redemption when in gen 4 I traded a Rhydon with my brother to evolve into Rhyperior and became a part of my big team together with Gallade, Lucario and Empoleon
That's crazy that Rhyhorn doesn't learn EQ naturally. Or any Rock Ground moves 😂
Not really gen1 movesets are mostly garbage
@@thedancingguy828 you'll be garbage if you carry on
Or any self buffing moves. Rip badge boost glitch
The best part about a Rhyhorn-only run is that you don't have to worry about pressing B for 37 whole levels. :P
Psywave only only. Don’t have a specific game in mind. But that would be hilarious to watch much like the Night Shade / Seismic Toss run
Well it has to be gen 1 or gen 3 or there would be dark types. No struggling in a psywave run because struggle is way better than psywave usually. I would watch
Its also the most RUclips thing in the world for them to have more interaction with their content creators on Twitter than on their own site!
Fun challenge vid as always!
The part about super coments was hilarious!
I still believe after you managed to beat this game with a Zubat, there anren't many other Gen 1 Pokémonthat could not beat this game alone. It's only a question of "How hard is it to".
I wish I could write comments from the xbox but I've had to pause your video on the xbox to jump on my phone to write this comment but I honestly couldn't resist.
I hugely respect what you done with the video at 13:18 to 13:30 which is why I stopped to write this comment. I laughed so hard because it matches your personality so much, I don't want to spoil what happens for those that haven't watched that far into the video so just know that you my good sir are a clever man.
Yay! My boy, Rhyhorn!
You would be so proud! I’m not super in wrestling but watched several hell in the cell matches last night. So COOL
my best nickname for the rhyhorn line is rhydonald LOL
Don't worry about missing so much. Went to play Red for the first time in 11 years and got the 1 in 256 glitch 3 times in 1 fight😭
The lore of rhyno... I appreciate that alot
I just found a shiny Rhyhorn in the teal mask dlc when this vid popped up. He's one of my favorite pokemon and I can't wait to see how he does!
Another great vid as always! 👍
I know you do all your Kanto challenge runs in Red and Blue, but I would love to see you do this particular run again, but in Yellow.
I think your worries about Lorelei's Slowbro (as well as Bruno even) would've been more valid, due to better movesets for the Elite 4 teams. Also, I'm curious how the rival's team would be doing against you throughout the run, considering how different the rival is in Yellow.
Ha, take that Meowth! That's what you get for causing trouble in so many other runs
I’m impressed you won at the level you did. That was a big surprise but I like Ryhorn so I’m happy.
Rhyhorns line is fun to use.
Def one of my favourite pokemon.
Difficult to use. But an absolute beast against anything physical
Yea fr, I wanna use one in Pokemon emerald and I looked at the upcoming gym and I'm like well fuck
Finally my boi gets the chance to shine!!! My favorite Pokemon(besides his immediate Evo)
A “ harder” run? I get it! It’s a pun!
Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen with Roxanne’s team from Pokémon Emerald? That will rock the Kanto region for sure.
You winning the water gym with a crit, and starmie doing nothing was insane! I chose bulbasaur as my starter and by using razor leaf, I hit 24 crits, I would have hit 25 but my first razor leaf didn’t hit.
You know what's my problem with those videos? I watch em when I'm in bed and falling asleep, seemingly there is no problem until you realize that I wake up and always forget to comment how much I actually enjoy them. It's great content, you have a great voice man. Also which fossil did you pick
"Gore! Gore! Gore!" -Paul Heyman :)))
Super Thanks to you! (Super Comment when the RUclips Community Manager isn't looking at me)
Betting on success but Level 80+ minimum because if you can't Outspeed and 1shot Lance's Gyarados it'll be either impossible or require a miss and Rhyhorn's base Speed is kinda bad if i recall.
Lance's gyardos was exactly what I was thinking as well he's gotta out speed
Millions of channels on RUclips, but right now you get to enjoy a nice mah dry bread video. :) I hope each and every one of you is having a wonderful night, life is beautiful and grand. What an incredible common ground we all have here, it's truly amazing how pokemon brings so many people together.
Leaving a comment for the RUclips algorithm. And I’m definitely 100% not watching this on the drive home
I think Mimic to steal Agility in rival fights in gen 1 could help a lot with slow mons like this
„we Hit a big dig“ …… man I am too childish to ignore that 😂
I love it how you and Scott used the same pokemon today
It's actually pretty funny timing that this dropped same day as Scott's Thoughts put his Fire Red with the Rhydon line video out. Either way the poor critter gets brick walled hard by Misty.
6:23 I think one sand attack is actually worse than 75, I think it’s around like 67%. It’s crazy how gen 1 works. And I think the first smart AI is misty, as far as big fights go. I’m know theres some other trainer classes that have it but don’t know if any of them appear in early game
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver with only one Pachirisu. We have some love for Sinnoh’s electric rodent, right?
Fun fact, I caught a shiny rhyhorn yesterday in pokemon scarlet lol. The timing on this is kinda funny.
MDB could have had EQ since before Koga by going to the 10th floor with the card key and beat that one rocket
Your right. Maybe he was counting on Dig's invulnerability turn to survive quad weak attacks due to bad speed and special? 🤔
Or he might've forgot, who knows.
@@AnimeNut101it's because he already had Dig which had higher PP and it didn't make sense to have double Ground moves.
The ending is perfect
5:05 sandattack in gen 1 is a normal type move, so he should not use it unless all his attacks are ineffective
You might like this idea
Next pokemon challenge could be pokemon whatever but a player controls the enemy
Rhyhorn is honestly one of the coolest first stage Pokemon. I'd even go as far as saying that he's cooler than many fully-evolved Pokemon. It would've been sick if he got a Paradox form in Scarlet and Violet.
I still think it'd be a great bit to do the Helix Fossil bit, but the footage shows taking the Dome Fossil instead.
I heard he took the Dome fossil in the footage during an old run now. As in, I heard it like a year ago and they said it was an older video then
If I had a nickle for every rihorn solo challenge that came out today I'd have 2 nickles, its not a lot but its strange it happened twice
Wouldn’t “speeding into a brick wall” take a while?😂
Yeah I just assumed that you'd cut all the rock slide misses 😄
Once again asking for a Platinum Lopunny Solo.
It's funny; I got two dittos from catching Rhyhorns and got a shiny Rhyhorn in Go, and now you're putting up a Rhyhorn challenge. I don't think I've ever used the Rhyhorn line in a playthrough before, though I do remember my brother having a great Rhyperior when he played Battle Revolution. Lightning Rod was a pretty good ability in that game since it was all double battles.
Also 100% approve of the cat pics, along with you talking about something unrelated to the video like how dumb the name "Super Thanks" is and... basically everything you ramble on about in the outros.
Also two more ideas I had for challenge runs: Pokemon Black with only one Litwick (probably my favorite ghost-type pokemon that I had a level 80-ish one of in White for some reason), and Pokemon Platinum with only one Phione (pure water-type, has 80s across the board for base stats).
Random words of the "Day"™: day 682, 683, 684, and 685: Amalgamation, Mum, Nanotechnology, Poland
It's Ok Rhyhorn, at least you weren't it an Emerald run
His super tweet got super ghosted for his super comment, that's super funny😂
I forgot how....lumpy Rhyhorn's backsprite is
Actually IIRC Scott's Thoughts' overlay reveals one sand attack in gen 1 lowers 100 to 66. Still, that's 2/3, so 1/3 to miss, and 5 times in a row is 1/243.
I guess it's a bit less impressive when you figure that it's got slightly better odds than the 256 glitch and I see that happen just about every Red run, either to me or my opponent. Still funny though!
My first time making a suggestion. Platinum with Phione
For me rock slide has always hit like dig
Next you should do Heartgold with only first form grass types
That is absolutely amazing..! 🤣
#MDBA Challenge idea:
Can you Beat Oblivion, Poison only run?
The rules are pretty simple:
- you can only use Poison as a means of dealing damage
- when using alchemy, you can only make poison
of course, you can add rules as you see fit
As usually, I'm writing this before you ever did the challenge
let me know in the comments if MDBA decides to do it at any point.
Comments are good for the YT algorithm after all
Next time if you have an empty sponsor spot, I'd love to hear you make one up. Personally, I think something like "Nanzabit Crackers" would offer a suitable scoff.
Oh, which fossil did you grab?
Twitter gang? Twitter gang.
I’m usually Twitter gang but I guess I was asleep
Grow up, Twitter is fucking stupid.
Imagine using twitter.
X factor gang
At RUclips you get ghosted for having a good idea
5:08 It won't either way since Sand Attack is normal type in gen 1.
another impressive run kbh i thought you would get brick walled somewhere
Suggestions for future runs:
X or Y with only a Greninja with Ash's moveset (Cut, Water Shuriken, Aerial Ace and Double Team)
Any game with only moves up to 60 base power
Sword or Shield with only TM Moves (no TR)
Any game with randomized moveset and abilities.
"I chose to replace Squirtle so that our rival would have Venasaur" 😂 Another MDB stamp of quality assurance lmao. Jk. Yall good.
It feels weird to tie these to the concept of "Thanks" since sometimes I just want to send something dumb like and YT is all like "Buy a Super Thanks" and I'm like YT pls I just wanted to and now you've made it weird. So even something like Super Comment would've been better. Also early Merry Christmas I guess.
Thank you very much, Merry Christmas to you too!
Hell yeah, a run with my favorite Pokémon! I've been hoping for this for a while. Thanks for the early christmas gift!
can't wait for the christmas episode.
Also I never realized just how weird this mon is.. I knew it was lopsided but the move-set is so weird!
Still waiting on that pokemon stadium 2 that you said you were going to do
I'd like to see a gen2 Chinchou run.
I'd love to see an only tms run, realizing the challenge doesn't start until.the first available tn
I came from Twitter to ask which fossil did you take?
I can remember has he done a fossil run for each game
My dude!! You should play emerald with Wally’s team! Might be fun 😮
They didn't change super thanks because they either stopped caring, or just forgot about it
Blastoise would have been way harder to fight than Venusaur, you should know by now that at the end of the game Venusaur just spams solar beam which is pretty useless
Have you done a smeargle run? Would be interesting to see the moveseta you could come up witg
I've been waiting for this 1!!!!!
