    The psychological strength to go all the way to masters from the very beginning using only low tier Pokémon and itens is insane, but love this idea for a series!
    Also, I work with children in school and it’s so accurate when you said that they usually go to an adult and just start talking about random stuff 😅 I love it though, they’re so genuine

  • @orangejuice3235
    @orangejuice3235 2 года назад +20

    30:50 This is what the bot ai does, when they take damage below 25% hp, they drop everything and go for heal. They prioritize berries from their lane, but if there’s none left, they do the long walk, all the way back to spawn.
    They don’t recall, they don’t even use the speed flux zone, they slip through jungle at the second goal point instead.

    • @aleguan_
      @aleguan_ 2 года назад +5

      Yeah, they really need to fix the AI especially if they're going to be constantly throwing us in bot matches. Idk if this is normal but my bots also don't attack zap at all even after all enemies are dead. It's really odd.

    • @OmgHelpICantComeUpWithNames
      @OmgHelpICantComeUpWithNames 2 года назад

      they do recall, i seen them recall using talonflame because they only recall when when you or your team isnt around, but if you or any members of your team is present, they run a marathon
      edit: one problem i have with bots is that they dont save up their unite move, the moment they see a opponent(s) they use their unite

  • @br0d302
    @br0d302 2 года назад +14

    Using the absolute lowest tier Pokémon is a strong enough penalty that it will absolutely still be entertaining to see you running off-meta items that aren’t necessarily the worst possible items. It works as a great series for people to see how to work with their favourite Pokémon who don’t get as much example gameplay.

  • @riptiderob5433
    @riptiderob5433 2 года назад +17

    Jake, some Decidueye advice as Rowlett: only attack wild Pokémon at the edge of your range. You do much lower damage the closer you are to your target.

  • @poundbark6286
    @poundbark6286 2 года назад +22

    for held items, dont shot yourself on the foot too much
    having no access to the usual items like muscle, score, focus, buddy, scope, and razor is already a huuuge disadvantage to most of the pokemon youre running
    so i think shell bell, weakness, and energy amp should be allowed since they are very rarely used and are niche items

  • @shubhamjohri290
    @shubhamjohri290 2 года назад +2

    You can determine if you are in a bot match like this:
    1. Your allies don't choose their Pokemon until about 49 seconds. They wait for you to select a Pokemon of your choice, but if you don't in the first 10 seconds, they will. And their Pokemon selection is immediately confirmed.
    2. On the match loading screen, all the bots will have simple portraits with the yellow background.
    3. At the beginning of the match, your ally Pokemon will often refrain from getting the last hit on farm Pokemon so that you can level up first.
    4. The enemy bots will stop attacking you immediately if you go into a bush or back onto your goal, even if you are at 1 HP. Same for ally bots.
    5. If bots are at low HP, they will walk all the way back to base to restore HP and won't bother attacking or defending themselves in the process.
    6. Sometimes the bots behave weirdly, like not scoring even if they got Zapdos.
    7. When the match ends, if you try to see the profiles of bots, they will ALL be set to private.
    And finally, if you are getting a lot of KOs and the match is just too easy, it is likely that it is a bot match.

I tried hoopa thinking his teleporting could help cordinate my team, but no one seems to know what the portals do, or just ignore them. I'm back to Blissey, I feel my persistence will pay off.

    - Cramorant: wise glass, special attack specs and energy amplifier with xattack (all about the unite move)
    - decidueye: energy amplifier, attack weight and float stone with xattack (long range poke)
    - crustle: rocky helmet, assault vest and aoes cookies with goal getter (just overall as tank as old items)

Trop Kick/Triple Axel literally never stopped being good.

    Honestly, I think gengar is a lot more powerful than people make him out of. He just isn't very powerful in early game and his damage output is heavily focused on a single target, making him a good assassin for squishy carries if played right. I feel that he is just too squishy and has no reliable way of reaching his targets other than dream eater. he also has almost no cc or are damage, so he's not good at team fights.

    Losing the zapdos hurts so much more 🤣
    The challenge for mental stability too
    Love this series!

    I agree with eliminating all the “OP” items you chose. I think you should allow atk & sp. atk specs since stacking without score shield is risky, especially when using low-tier Pokémon. And weakness policy is only “good” because it’s used in tandem with muscle, focus, buddy, etc. I would maaaaaybe eliminate black glasses and/or energy amp, but otherwise, all other non-meta items should be in play.

    It takes guts for a challenge like this
    But you're a really awesome and a genius player
    You could definitely do it
    Best wishes to you Jake Sir
    All the best
