“Can’t learn anything super-effective against fighting-types” actually, Bidoof can learn Pluck via TM, and you get that in Floaroma Town, so it could also potentially have been useful for the grass gym. You only get one copy though, so you’d have to keep it for the rest of the game for all the Heracross. Rattata can also learn it, but Meowth can’t.
you know, some of these runs are like a fun challenge. but runs like this are like a challenge on "how much patience does mdb have". and that's why we love him
Man that run ended in a crazy way, I never thought a Meowth could be such a brick wall! Also, the ad-lib outro is one of my favorite bits of your videos haha. I love that you do them, and always listen
I always love seeing your content, and it is wild to see all the fun runs you do not only in Pokemon, but also Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Even if I have never played those myself, seeing your genuine enjoyment of them is such a treat! Can't wait to see more challenges, and by the way, Meowth says hello!
Oh man, what a fun run! Bidof, to me, in alot of ways just has that lovable derpy look that pokemon like Ekans have. Like... its hard to explain, like its just an animal doing animal things? Like when you look at Blastoise its got that whole "Im a turtle with guns, rawr" or Meowth has that "Im like a cat... but gangsta!" But Bidoof is just so normal, and I love it
The prime minister Bret Hart joke got me *again*. It killed me during the editing stream, and then killed me in the video itself even though I knew it was coming. Every "isn't it funny how much Canada loves the Hart family" joke gets me, and somehow I never get sick of it. something something meowth
Great run MDB! I'm surprised that a Meowth gave your Bidoof so many problems this time around, though I didn't know it could learn those moves it kept using.
have you thought of using nature gift in your runs? it's a 1 use move per battle, but its a customizable attack that can make battle much easier. at least it can make some battles a little easier
I don't usually watch the entire video of challenge runs, but the stuff you do with Meowth is just so goofy, you're one of the few I do watch all the way through
Just wanted to give a suggestion of how you could've maybe beaten this: if you had a Bidoof with Simple as its ability, you could use Curse to get +2 Attack +2 Defense -2 Speed, and then combined with Rest that should give you a decent shot against the elite four! Either way, fun video, and I'm looking forward to the next one!
I thought of this, but I think the one issue that he'd have with simple is that stuff like intimidate and sand attack become even more obnoxious. Simple's a pretty cool ability, but I dunno if it's a game winner here.
Meowth! The rival hurts so much in this game especially vs normal and dark types. I almost want to suggest a revenge run where you build a team purely to make the rival lose lol!
13:50 If you haven't, please consider using your buffing moves more. You can use Defense Curl more than to just empower Rollout. If you can get 6 defense increases you'll take less damage, so Lucario will heal less from drain punch, and you'll have more time to hit it and the other pokemon. And more chances for Ice Beam to get a freeze.
I always listen to the Meowth bit, it's just something in my brain that likes to fully watch videos and not just most of it. I also just like hearing updates about content creators I like. Great video MDB, will definitely check out the editing live stream (that'll be pretty helpful with video editing).
I just finished watching the VOD 1-2 days ago (I like having my attention less divided on my first viewing so I can remember what happens in a VOD, and I end up watching in segments as a result), then this got uploaded. Nice. Long brained Meowth was good to see.
Spoilers for the video: One thing that you can do in an impossible run like this is that you can evolve your pokemon to see if it's impossible with the whole line or if you can beat with its evolved form. For example, if you are doing a MEOWTH run in platinum and you realize that it's impossible to beat your rival you can use PKhax to change your level to 99, than lvl him up once more to evolve and try again.
7:26 That ghost gym looked rough... the Roserade was a WALL for Bidoof. Thank goodness Bidoof took special classes and can hit those ghost types with return. Love ya MDB!
MDBAMA How's Sabu during gaming and filming? Do you have any cat bloopers or is he a well-behaved little furball? Also, happy you're back but keep taking care of yourself, okay? Okay! 💪🏻❤️
have you ever considered in these runs when you know you've failed the main challenge of you just start to remove rules and see how many rules remain ) so if you're super stuck you can use items, if that doesn't unstickl then you can use multiple of the same pokemon....after that then it's a complete failure, but would be interesting to see if items would help these stuck situations
Things you missed: -Bidoof's other ability, simple, is one of the best in the game. You should have used it + Curse. You would build insane ATK and DEF. Your ideal moveset should have been return/curse/yawn/ice beam. I believe you could have won the run with this moveset. Not picking Simple ability kinda doomed the run at the beggining. -You tend to forget that move relearner and move tutor exists in theese games. Idk why. You tend to think the ONLY solution is leveling up and trying again and again. Aqua tail and last resort are learnable in platinum for example. And getting the shards to trade for the move aren't hard. And rollout is very bad and unreliable. -you should try to use the move relearner more. I am sure you could have one shot that lucario with super power, which your bidoof learn at level 41. You waste more time grinding than adapting. Idk why you do this.
I love your vids I don't comment often since I don't usually watch on my phone with my account signed in but I do always watch silently appreciating these Great work MDB!
"So... I think I just lose." was, for whatever reason, a really funny way to end the challenge. Awesome attempt man! I hope you had a lot of fun with it. I still can't believe how much trouble that Meowth gave you!
I'd love to see MDB do a Gold challenge run with only Seaking (oil paintings, oil paintings, Seaking). The Special split in Gen 2 means its STAB moves hit about as hard as a first-form starter, and its coverage is laughably bad for a fully-evolved Water-type. Barring that, some more Meowth runs would be cool too. :)
Bidoof and Meowth: the unstoppable duo! If only they could be teammates the whole run and not just in one cave. 😁 Love the outros as always MDB! Keep up the great work!
You might have better luck with a Bidoof(any nature that's -special attack and +a,d or sD) with curse, rest ,amnesia and rollout. Just setup and sweep.
Hey mah dry bread love the content keep up the good work. I don't think you said that platinum runs are always brutal because the over leveling curve. I appreciate the grind and thanks man
Curse + Return Simple Bidoof is the most common set for it and it's evolution, plus in later games its given both aqua jet and waterfall (as a bidoof I think it already learns them both as Bibarrel) making it a really good lower tier competitive mon.
2 things: The Mewoth at the end was such a beast Also it be funny if over the course of the run his poketech screen would fill with more Bidoof like its splitting off by mitoses
Not the flinches!!! Bret is such a slow boy. He’s probably tired and wanted to just be a bidoof caught for HMs Woo! SPONSOR!!! oh my goodness you’re covered in sponsorship clothes 😂 Woo!!! Level 45 Exorcist-Bidoof lets go!!!
The shell bell does seem better than quick claw, but at level 75 that’s worrisome… Steel gym wasn’t bad?????? I always forget about the distortion world until it’s mentioned bc I had Diamond as a kid and only played that one 😅 Yay double battle!!! Oh, nevermind its slow Oh man - having to do the puzzle anyway sounds like something I’d end up doing too. 😢 I’m glad you found out about the new update! Wooo!!! Level 100!!!! Congrats you did it!!!! I believe in you!!!! (Not in Bret, unfortunately) Lvl 48 taking down Lvl 100???? This run was fun to watch!
Oh man, I did not see the close combat on multiple pkm the last rival fights. I was counting on the Infernape to have it, and that be the deciding factor, but not even close. Great video!
Another great challenge that part with meowth was crazy. Id still like to see how much further you could go in the failed runs if you hacked in a perfect statted mon just to remove that bit of uncontrollable randomness but enjoyed it nevertheless
I loved when on your way you took the meowth fossil. I knew that if I didn't say what you took, people would ask. Actually, everyone ask anyway, comments are good for the meowth algorithm
Next Canada day you can use this. I think it fits your sense of humor. If you do a pokemon run. You can title Canada beat Pokemon......... I feel like you missed an opportunity. Thank you for all the content.
"I can't talk today"
After that Cyrus fight, I think you get a pass! The Meowth told me so 😅
That’s right
“Can’t learn anything super-effective against fighting-types” actually, Bidoof can learn Pluck via TM, and you get that in Floaroma Town, so it could also potentially have been useful for the grass gym. You only get one copy though, so you’d have to keep it for the rest of the game for all the Heracross. Rattata can also learn it, but Meowth can’t.
All these cool moments with Meowth seems like they deserve another video of their own.
MD F'n B run
Meowth-ception
Where?
Meowth
Dude, Meowth needs more respect
Every time Meowth pops up in one of your runs, you know you're in for a good time.
The chimera (kymera?) ad gag is the most mdb joke ever and I love it
you know, some of these runs are like a fun challenge. but runs like this are like a challenge on "how much patience does mdb have". and that's why we love him
Actual facts here
Can you win with Bidoof? Yes, I think so. Should you? Oh hell no.
Edit: Didn’t think Meowth would be the run killer.
That Meowth came out of nowhere. Totally caught me off guard!
Happy Canada Day to you and your meowth. Can't believe Team Galactic were beaten by a level 10 bidoof, how embarrassing for them!
Thank you for making my day better. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and they never disappoint. Thank you
It's crazy to see how cool your strats are man. Breeding your Bidoof with a Meowth to get Pay Day to make buying TMs easier was a mastermind play.
Folks bout to be so confused
I love how’s he’s always like ‘I’ll need other Pokémon for HMs’ it’s ironic considering Bidoof usually *is* the HM mon 🤣
Don't know who will see this but my cat died today. Hope you all have a great Canada day. Rest in peace, Tiger. 😢
Sorry about Tiger 😞 RIP
Rip😢
Losing a pet is always rough I am sorry you had to experience that pain RIP Tiger
RIP Tiger
1 year later how you doing? It always sucks losing a pet.
Man that run ended in a crazy way, I never thought a Meowth could be such a brick wall! Also, the ad-lib outro is one of my favorite bits of your videos haha. I love that you do them, and always listen
Wow, that part of the video with Meowth was so unexpected. Glad I didn't miss it
I always love seeing your content, and it is wild to see all the fun runs you do not only in Pokemon, but also Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

something something meowth
i got so confused, saw this comment, searched "Hart Family" and got a murder thing... and then I searched Bret Hart
Great run MDB! I'm surprised that a Meowth gave your Bidoof so many problems this time around, though I didn't know it could learn those moves it kept using.
Just wanna say, Bret Hart being the Canadian Prime Minister just made my week🤣💜
have you thought of using nature gift in your runs? it's a 1 use move per battle, but its a customizable attack that can make battle much easier. at least it can make some battles a little easier
“I named him after the Canadian prime minister, Bret Hart.”
An Albertan: … Yeah that sounds right.
Your challenge runs are always so entertaining, I've gotta say, your Meowth only run is definitely my favourite.
I don't usually watch the entire video of challenge runs, but the stuff you do with Meowth is just so goofy, you're one of the few I do watch all the way through
Just wanted to give a suggestion of how you could've maybe beaten this: if you had a Bidoof with Simple as its ability, you could use Curse to get +2 Attack +2 Defense -2 Speed, and then combined with Rest that should give you a decent shot against the elite four!

I thought of this, but I think the one issue that he'd have with simple is that stuff like intimidate and sand attack become even more obnoxious.
Simple's a pretty cool ability, but I dunno if it's a game winner here.
It looked like curse was only available in HGSS though, at least by level up. Am I missing something
Curse is also available in platinum not in diamand/Pearl. I did a bidoof only run with this strategy and won
@@jellelubben5909 okay cool, thanks! That's really impressive btw, good job with the run :)
@@jellelubben5909 isn't this challenge done in platinum...? or am I missing something
That was an incredibly insightful comment about meowth and it’s place in the fandom. I hope to hear more mdb analysis soon!
Didn't know Meowth could be representative for Canada day in another Pokémon run.
The Canadian prime minister Bret Hart got me super hard, but man, two challenges in a row with crazy Meowths? What are the odds of that?
Meowth! The rival hurts so much in this game especially vs normal and dark types. I almost want to suggest a revenge run where you build a team purely to make the rival lose lol!
The Prime Minister lol oh man Bret Hart approves 😂
Bidoof screwed Bidoof
13:50 If you haven't, please consider using your buffing moves more. You can use Defense Curl more than to just empower Rollout. If you can get 6 defense increases you'll take less damage, so Lucario will heal less from drain punch, and you'll have more time to hit it and the other pokemon. And more chances for Ice Beam to get a freeze.
I always listen to the Meowth bit, it's just something in my brain that likes to fully watch videos and not just most of it. I also just like hearing updates about content creators I like. Great video MDB, will definitely check out the editing live stream (that'll be pretty helpful with video editing).
With all this early Rollout planning, Bidoof truly is the Excellence of Execution.
I think he's the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
I just finished watching the VOD 1-2 days ago (I like having my attention less divided on my first viewing so I can remember what happens in a VOD, and I end up watching in segments as a result), then this got uploaded. Nice.
Long brained Meowth was good to see.
MDB: So I named him after the Canadian Prime Minister--
Me: I am *so* unsubscribing from this--
MDB: Bret Hart!
Me: Never mind!
Man the meowth run was insane dude can u try a azumarill only run in emerald? Enjoy your 2 week thing and exited for the meowth challange on July 15th
Howdy Mah-Dry, I am glad you took to time to give Bidoof and Meowth a second chance in this challenge video!
Spoilers for the video:
One thing that you can do in an impossible run like this is that you can evolve your pokemon to see if it's impossible with the whole line or if you can beat with its evolved form. For example, if you are doing a MEOWTH run in platinum and you realize that it's impossible to beat your rival you can use PKhax to change your level to 99, than lvl him up once more to evolve and try again.
Meowth was definitely the toughest battle you had in this run
7:26 That ghost gym looked rough... the Roserade was a WALL for Bidoof. Thank goodness Bidoof took special classes and can hit those ghost types with return. Love ya MDB!
MDBAMA
How's Sabu during gaming and filming? Do you have any cat bloopers or is he a well-behaved little furball?
Also, happy you're back but keep taking care of yourself, okay? Okay! 💪🏻❤️

I think Meowth should be the mascot of the Pokémon company. Pikachu should be put in a nursing home.
I love your vids I don't comment often since I don't usually watch on my phone with my account signed in but I do always watch silently appreciating these Great work MDB!
FINALLY THE PLATINUM BIDOOF CHALLENGE! I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE POKEMON BLACK WITH ONE BIDOOF! YES!
Edit: Meowth thing!
I’ve always had a soft spot for Bidoof after playing Explorers of Sky, love the little guy, hope he does well in this run
"So... I think I just lose." was, for whatever reason, a really funny way to end the challenge.
Awesome attempt man! I hope you had a lot of fun with it. I still can't believe how much trouble that Meowth gave you!
Lucario 4x resistant to ice and uses ice beam... love ya MDB but that was a Lil bit scatter brained
You don't know how much I played the Meowth game from "Super Troopers" with my buddies. Thanks for bringing me back.
I didn't even know you could encounter a Meowth there. You learn something new every day about these games
I'd love to see MDB do a Gold challenge run with only Seaking (oil paintings, oil paintings, Seaking). The Special split in Gen 2 means its STAB moves hit about as hard as a first-form starter, and its coverage is laughably bad for a fully-evolved Water-type.
Barring that, some more Meowth runs would be cool too. :)
That moment with the Meowth! Wow, really had me on the edge of my seat!
OMG that meowth with the steel chair out of no where!!!!! Hilarious but also sad bidoof couldn't shake the surprise attack off
Meowth is my favorite pokemon in the "ghost" gym (The second gym, the ghost gym)
Pretty sure with the the right nature, unwasted evs ect that rival fight might be winnable
Meowth that's right
So how about manipulating IVs? Get yourself a perfect IV meowth with whichever nature youd prefer
Loved the video
That part with the Meowth was my favorite part
Bidoof and Meowth: the unstoppable duo! If only they could be teammates the whole run and not just in one cave. 😁
Love the outros as always MDB! Keep up the great work!
You might have better luck with a Bidoof(any nature that's -special attack and +a,d or sD) with curse, rest ,amnesia and rollout. Just setup and sweep.
Hey mah dry bread love the content keep up the good work. I don't think you said that platinum runs are always brutal because the over leveling curve. I appreciate the grind and thanks man
Man I wish you coulda gotten over that meowth….what a run ender tho…great job as always!!!
Meowth's out here training Bidoof to be the most Canadian Pokemon and we love him for it, baybee
Thanks for letting me know about the Universal randomizer update. Damn I hate doing the Distortion World puzzle whenever I play Platinum
Another saturday, another challenge video. Good job as usual dude. Hope all is going well in life mah dry.
Also meowth
I love how MDB reached the conclusion of "Ohhh I should stop rambling so I can get a move on" and proceeds to ramble for another 2 minutes at the end
Curse + Return Simple Bidoof is the most common set for it and it's evolution, plus in later games its given both aqua jet and waterfall (as a bidoof I think it already learns them both as Bibarrel) making it a really good lower tier competitive mon.
Glad to see Chimera is back, that Meowth T-shirt looked pretty cool. I might have to buy one of those now. 😁
I’d say bibarel is more Canadian but good video! Also wild how good that meowth was ;)
Stantler isnt the most canadian animal? I went to the Toronto airport and I couldn't throw a dart with hitting a moose plush
2 things:
The Mewoth at the end was such a beast
Also it be funny if over the course of the run his poketech screen would fill with more Bidoof like its splitting off by mitoses
always love the videos with Meowth, keep it up MDB!
Man that Meowth is a tough one, all the best MDB!
"The Canadian Prime Minister, Bret Hart" killed me. Happy Canada to my friends from the North.
Meowth coming in at 28:20was an unexpected surprise
1:39 - I bet you can win but just barley!
Excited to watch this one!!!
Not the flinches!!!
Bret is such a slow boy. He’s probably tired and wanted to just be a bidoof caught for HMs
Woo! SPONSOR!!! oh my goodness you’re covered in sponsorship clothes 😂
Woo!!! Level 45 Exorcist-Bidoof lets go!!!
The shell bell does seem better than quick claw, but at level 75 that’s worrisome…
Steel gym wasn’t bad??????
I always forget about the distortion world until it’s mentioned bc I had Diamond as a kid and only played that one 😅
Yay double battle!!! Oh, nevermind its slow
Oh man - having to do the puzzle anyway sounds like something I’d end up doing too. 😢 I’m glad you found out about the new update!
Wooo!!! Level 100!!!! Congrats you did it!!!!
I believe in you!!!! (Not in Bret, unfortunately)
Lvl 48 taking down Lvl 100????
This run was fun to watch!
That shiny meowth was so cool to see, nice full odds. That was my favourite part of the challenge run
Oh man, I did not see the close combat on multiple pkm the last rival fights. I was counting on the Infernape to have it, and that be the deciding factor, but not even close. Great video!
You should do a pokemon infinite fusion run with only bidoof.
Thank you for the content, MDB. It really gives me something to look forward too and I appreciate it.
Having the prime minister being Bret Hart makes this video timeless. Great call!
Another great challenge that part with meowth was crazy. Id still like to see how much further you could go in the failed runs if you hacked in a perfect statted mon just to remove that bit of uncontrollable randomness but enjoyed it nevertheless
I love meowth. I'm glad it got a cameo in this run of Platinum.
23:23 I'm surprised you were able to beat him at level 10 despite having issues at level 95.
Just playing, love your vids, man.
Great run, MDB=) Meowth totally caught me off guard.=)
Man that upcoming Meowth run sounds like it's going to be an absolute blast!
Meowth might make a more interesting run, but good video MDB, looking forward to future ones :D
I didn't realize Meowth was such an important pokemon to you on Canada Day MDB :O
more power to you, keep up the awesome video's
RIP run, glad that Meowth was able to pick up the slack at the end and finish out the elite 4. :)
I loved when on your way you took the meowth fossil. I knew that if I didn't say what you took, people would ask. Actually, everyone ask anyway, comments are good for the meowth algorithm
That was an interesting one, the fight with the Meowth was the best part.
God that Meowth was so hard to take down, wasn't expecting that to be such a challenge for bidoof
That Meowth tho. We need a whole compilation video on these Meowth moments.
Next Canada day you can use this. I think it fits your sense of humor. If you do a pokemon run. You can title Canada beat Pokemon.........
I feel like you missed an opportunity. Thank you for all the content.
All hail the Doof!
Always love a good run where a Meowth pops in for a visit. Good content.
Great video once again. I always meowth them to the very end.
The great Bidoof makes even the mightiest Pokémon quake in terror. Good luck to any other run beating this one
Man...that Meowth got absolutely nailed! Who knee Bidoofs rollout could be so devastating!
Love the videos always. Can't believe Meowth was such a killer in this run🙃
