Hi
Well i enjoyed this quite a bit, and I enjoy it even more that I came here before the comment bots took over
Im not gonna be a grammar nazi
@@rogermarti5598 Give me a snack bartender
piplup being hype as fuck is just what i needed to see today
I knew i'd find you here dad. hope you're doing well.
Soo, we gonna do Mario Party Pokémon edition soon or what?...
I feel like Piplup should be added in Smash Bros.
Knew you’d show up, it’s only reasonable for someone as legendary as TC Nicholas the Third to show up
I fucking knew you would be here. Was not dissapointed.
Mudkip Only: "Don't do drugs, kids."
Piplup Only: d r u g s
Yeah but piplup isnt a kid hes a 40 million year old deity
Ye
Also, wasn’t that video about Mudkip made in 2019 or something? Only in 2020 onwards did people start taking drugs because since the great pandemic of 2020 because people are getting more and more depressed and feel like life has no meaning. That’s also why more people are killing themselves. Now Alpharad has joined them.
@BCT2
Yeah that's how Piplups are.
You have a point.

It's not wrong
"I'm gonna beat Starly with hammers"

Yes
Piplup is the 2nd strongest penguin in the Multiverse (just below Pingu)
Bruh what about Gunther?

Piplup vs literally anyone: "He's never fought me."
Everyone: "Yeah he has."
Piplup: "He's never fought me twice!"
"And I'll be doped"

Wait is that a jojo reference
Piplup shares something in common with Thor
@@sparki045yt3 I think it's Avengers
Found out that the Abra battle doesn't have to be a doubles battle, you can talk to them individually and fight them separately
That's too obvious a strat for Alpharad to try. Why would it be that easy, you know?
But fun cool fight hit double kill!
alpha: “ok so this garchomp can do anything, they can do swords dance and eat a berry that reduces my damage, and i can deal damage that turn and be safe but i probably won’t live the next turn, so..”
Piplup: “I got a crit dad are you proud of me?”
Alpha: good boy.
There are two types of people who play Pokemon
Smallant: Spends hours grinding, analysing and making the best strategies to complete the challenge
And then there's Alpharad
"It can't happen a 2nd time right?"
This is one of the best comments I've ever seen
I watched this entire video and didn't know it wasn't smallant until I saw this comment.
The smart player
The brute force player
I am definitely Alpharad
it did, infact, happen a second time.
Can we take a moment to talk about Aaron's strategy? This guy's whole gimmick is to gamble it all on crits and not only does he risk it for the crits, lore wise he got to be one of the members of the Elite Four so he made it to the big leagues using crits. Guy's a baller.
I bet he was sad to see the casino is gone, shame.
*guy's
Can we also take a moment to acknowledge that the bug type gym leader's entire strategy revolved around a not bug type pokemon using a not bug type move?
@@dontbememeist497 oh shut up mr/Mrs English teacher literally nobody cares that they forgot an APOSTROPHE

Now that's a truly evil idea Ron xD I love it. Also, in your expert pokemon lore knowledge, could you please explain how this Pikachu turned into a penguin? I'm very interested :P
Nice to see you here, man.
Fun fact, in the diamond and pearl manga, the main character had a piplup that he didn’t know had an everstone. So he crushed all the gyms and the piplup gained so many levels it became sick and almost died because it couldn’t evolve.
Those manga were sick
@@variableaxis9652 especially when the girl took a bath with tentacruel.........oh noe
While definitely more lighthearted about it, in the anime, Dawn's piplup had the opposite problem. He really didn't want to evolve, but had enough xp to evolve. He got sick, and an everstone helped him get better
Wait, I thought piplup ate the stone by accident?
Which manga? It's not adventures.
I barely beat crasher wake with only a staravia at 10 HP. This is a good life lesson: if Alpharad beat the elite four with a solo piplup, I’m sure I could beat the elite four as well at this point. So In other words, never give up. This right here is a beautiful life lesson. Congratulations, @Alpharad. You’ve earned that sweet victory.
Edit: also it was the toughest thing I ever seen when you beat Cynthia with just a small penguin. If you beat BDSP with only piplup, what’s next? Scarlet and violet with a solo Quaxly perhaps?
Tbh Alpha has either fuecoco or quaxly energy
My favourite moment in this video is when Alpha pops off with Lyn from rivals of Aether
Yeah I’m also confused

I'm pretty sure Peck could do it. Abra's Defense is way lower than its Special Defense.
so basically, you decided to have TCNick3 beat the game for you
Exactly that
Alpharad can make a 12 hour video of watching paint dry and he'll STILL manage to make it entertaining as hell.
If you like watching paint dry then boy do I have the channel for you
I remember when my sister basically did this on Platinum years ago. Her Piplup was over Lv. 50 and she never beat the game, as she was stuck on the second gym.
Note that this was her first actual Pokemon game, and the reason she didn't catch any other Pokemon was because, in roughly her own words, "They weren't cute enough for her to catch." Also sever case of Starter Carry Syndrome.
...Wow
What sucks is that if they ONLY used the Piplup back in the old Gen 4 games, they wouldn't manage to beat the E4, because it requires 5 HMs, and a single pokemon can only learn 4 moves
doesn't think bidoof is cute. cringe
That kind of reminds me of my brother, his first game was pokemon silver and it took him years to figure out there is a way to switch the order of pokemon in his party, so he ended up with a level 70+typhlosion with the rest of his team being 20+levels behind
and it didn't evolve?

Just to clarify about the friendship thing: They took the previous Affection mechanic from Gen 6 and 7 and tied it with friendship.
Which is the only thing I don’t like about the game
Wait what…
Makes it even funnier since Sylveon isn’t in the game, so why have all the other eeveelutions, and the affection mechanic, but not Sylveon?
Yea and the friendship was broken because My prismarina survived two attacks while she was at 1 HP just cause friendship from ultra necrozma
@@AlexMorales-iy1ih My midnight Lycanroc back in original moon survived 6 hits in a row on 1 hp as my last mon during the champion fight with the professor, gave me enough time to revive the entire team and full restore him, most ridiculous shit I’ve ever had happen and and along with all the other hits he beefed through for the elite four he was a definite MVP.
“I, Ronald McDonald, have a dream”
After rewatching this I realized that, despite it not mattering in the slightest, Piplup landing those 3 friendship crits in a row is INSANE rng. To sum it up quickly, that has a less than 1% chance of occurring. Props to Alpharad, I suppose. Never punish.
Yes! Piplup was my first ever Pokémon and my favorite!

You can avoid the double abra fight in Eterna Forest by just going up to one of the trainers and talking to them from above. This does make it a single battle so you dont get Cheryl's help, but you could just inject lethal amounts of potions into your poor pikachu until the Abra ran out of Energy Balls.
Does this work on the Team Galactic grunts ?
@@miwestraveler3986 Works for most except for the last 2 on the spear pillars
@@deberis6308
Damnit.
You don't even have to do spear pillar, although this glitch got patched out, you used to be basically able to walk past the guy that stops you from going to sunnyshore.
I did that just on instinct then realized I didn't want to do it but it was already too late lol
We all know the world stromgest piplup is named TCNick3
Isn't it nice that Team Galactic is like "no, we are too noble to fight us two against your one"
Fun fact; in the Pokémon d/p manga, this run is canonical bc the main character (hareta) literally goes all the way to post 7 gym leader with just a piplup he doesn’t evolve
Isn’t the manga a different canon tho
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Adventure was based, I named my Piplup after Hareta and my Luxray after Koya
@@Lonewulf321 technically the manga, games, and anime are all different universes since ash is Anime exclusive, many manga characters are manga exclusive, and the games are different since you choose the path, however they are more closely related to the manga most of the time
@@rowquaza5977 yes every medium has it own canon except the manga which has multiple manga canons
yeah that guy was chaotic
Jacob made his audio quality drop on the ad read on purpose but still couldn't stop himself from editing in "Dating Start" like it's actually playing in the bathroom, the audio quality obsession grind never stops.
Knew this was gonna be a tough one in the Elite Four, especially Cynthia if luck was against him, since most of the game is a cake walk until the battle-trained well oiled machine that is the Elite Four and Cynthia.
Easily the biggest difficulty spike of the series since Ultra Necrozma, and that was just one battle against a wild Pokémon instead of a whole gauntlet of trainer battles with no automatic healing inbetween. And this difficulty spike didn't come from an immediate +2 omniboost either.
Piplup has been my favourite pokemon since the original gen 4 games had come out and I'm so happy to see this video being done. Thanks Alpharad!
GUYS ITS TCNICK3!
Is really funny once you realize that the new champion, a person who ranks higher than the Elite Four, has their level 69 Piplup and nothing else.
Edit: and a truckload of performance enhancing drugs
well, they have something else
Drugs
I mean, even *with* performance enhancing drugs, beating the elite four with *only a piplup* would be absurdly impressive in the context of the universe...
I'm disappointed Cynthia's Spiritomb didn't have Embargo in these remakes. Realize just how fortunate you are on that count, Alpha
What’s embargo? I forgot that move exists
If I remember correctly, the move prevents your opponent from using items on that pokemon, meaning no healing items or X items
@@napstaperd8824 (looks at people who does no items challanges or sumn like that)
I was curious, so I looked it up. Embargo is apparently one of the moves unlucky enough to get purged in gen 8... So, despite them making some pretty poor decisions in the name of "faithful remakes..." (these decisions are more pet peeves of mine, so I won't go into it) They outright _couldn't_ use Cynthia's original set for Spiritomb because both Embargo _and_ Silver Wind got cut from the games entirely in Sword/Shield.
Oh well. At least Embargo's removal made this run possible, yeah?
@@tra12048 If you bring a Pokemon with embargo from a past gen, are they usable if you know?
Its TCNick3
Yeah!
we have confirmation alpharad is insane when he said i did the same thing again expecting different results
Fun fact: every other double battle with Cheryl (other than the first one) can be forced into solos by talking to the trainer
Let me tell you… I was screaming at the screen
This actually isn’t true I think, if you go and talk to one while hugging a wall while moving at an angle I think you can force it into a a single battle
The first one can be forced into a silver battle because of diagonal movement
I accidentally did the first one as a single battle by talking to them diagonally.
I think what save him was the double battle in that situation, because they kept targettong Chansey in the end. If he battled them one by one, Piplup would lost in the second turn anyway because each Abra is faster and Piplup can't one-shot them either.
It’s kind of crazy that Pikachu was one-shotting way stronger Pokémon than itself, even at about the same level.
Drugs are amazing
One word: d r u g z
When he called X items drugs I swear that made this 5x funnier
This isn't the Ronald McDonald video
Fun fact: with the math gym, if you fail one of the questions one of the trainers will tell you off, asking if you forgot the fact that you own a calculator or if you just did it on purpose
wait which question
I think they caught on that I was going directly to fight them because they just said “you just wanted to fight me didn’t you?”. The questions were so easy lmao

9:00
I have been playing through Pokemon Ultra Sun recently, and I have created the ultimate critical hit Drapion. Similar to Aaron's own, he has Cross Poison and Night Slash, which, when sided alongside the items Scope Lens (which Aaron has) or Razor Claw, has a 50% critical chance (Also they both have STAB). My Drapion also has maxed attack and speed EV's, and also Swords Dance to increase physical attack even more (last move is Ice Fang for annoying type matchups). Working on levelling him up to 100 in order to hyper-train the beast. Also he is shiny.
P.S. Also, apparently with a max affection, it doubles crit chance. I will test that out once my own Drapion is level 100. If it is true, then he will have a 100% crit ratio. Will keep this comment updated.
Alpharad: *cancels Piplup's evolution*
Jaiden: "You're not gonna use an everstone?"
Me: *thinking* Were you not there when he did this challenge the first time???
Evidently not.
I played Shining Pearl and chose Piplup. I never evolved him (He is currently level 78) so it’s cool to see someone did the same!
I did the same but with Turtwig. I named him Torta. I also have an unevolved Bidoof on my team
The Dawn run
im so glad someone tortured another piplup!
Lol I also refused to evolve the penguin.
I used to do that a lot when I got Platinum. Every play through after the first, I would always choose Piplup and name my character Dawn. I wouldn’t let him evolve and got him to level 100. It kinda felt like I was playing the anime. It’s why I have such a strong connection to the character Dawn in the anime.
25:15 for those of you watching in timed mode, hello! Make sure to drink water and rest your eyes before binging more funny internet man Alpharad
Shut up
Alpharad: beats chyntia with ONE piplup
me and my whole team: 20 tries later
The “affection” mechanic and its side effects have been around since XY, but since nobody cared about PokeMonAmie and it’s equivalents, it seems new since BDSP tied it in with the normal friendship mechanics, which is has been around since very early in the series. Friendship usually only affects Return’s damage and the evolution of certain Pokemon, and is raised by just having the pokemon in your party or, when the option is available, walking with them. Affection was usually only raised by PokeMonAmie.
No, people noticed with Let's Go, the game that merged both stats.
Maybe, if people actually played the Let's Go entries.
Wdym noone cared. It was the greatest geature ever. The affection stuff ruined it because it made everyone op for no reason. The real reason why it isn't in BDSP is because it wasn't in the original and if game freak *can* cut corners they *will* cut corners. Pokemon games suck now lol
It carried on my US nuzlocke
It was also tied in together in SwSh, but you won't get affection benefits in battle since it's capped unless you do camps or whatever it's called in that game. No such cap exists in BDSP.
"It was available in the Department Store the whole time!"
That's what happens when athletes prioritize performance enhancing drugs over developing their natural skills through study and training.
Man, this puploop run was amazing. The peeplip was so strong the world crumbled when it took a step. Favorite part was when papluop beat everything with hammers. Yes the joke of this comment is various ways to misspell poiplawp.
pliplup
Drapion has the Sniper ability which makes critical hits hit even harder than they normally would.
Alpharad: _"'Can You Beat Pokémon Emerald with ONLY Mudkip'_ was a couple years ago."
Me: "That feels illegal."
No matter how many times ive seen people do it, throwing a Master Ball at a Magikarp will always make me laugh.
Opponent trainer: oh a Pikachu is being sent out by him
(Alpharad's Piplup comes out)
Opponent: well it's just a Piplup right
(Sees it's level 69)
Opponent: well I'm dead

“Pick a god and pray”
Thank you for that reference, milord.
Don't forget the clear the pebbles on his path
Fun fact, you can turn double trainer battles like that double abra fight into 1v1 matches by talking to the individual trainers instead of walking into their line of sight.
It wouldn't have made a difference though, the Abra outspeeds and it's a guaranteed 2HKO with Bubble Beam unless he gets a crit.
Good to know you can still do that just like in the original but still wouldn’t of really mattered too much
Abra has basically no Defense. I'd think Peck is better here.
This was wild. Great narration. The best of all Piplups. Had a lot of fun watching this video.
