this new Alpharad Live channel is honestly great, I rarely am able to catch streams due to time zones and rarely have time later on to watch the full VODs, awesome that I can now enjoy more Jacob Alpharad content
you are allowed to have another pokemon to be used for hm's and to use for swaps on specifically perish song, at least according to the ruleset I read.
the perish song swapping is only for kaizo ironomn+ which has a few rules to make the rng a bit less frustrating, but thats not in the original kaizo ironmon ruleset
very little skill involved. it's like the world's longest game of russian roullete. and respectfully, any game that can take players anywhere from several hundred to almost 2k attempts before they beat it is just objectively not a fun game.
I can’t imagine having a good time playing Kaizo Ironmon. It feels like the opposite of a normal nuzlocke. Kaizo Ironmon is all RNG and grinding with minimal strategy, which is my least favorite part of the game, while regular nuzlockes are about using strategies that minimize RNG, and with things like rare candies require little grinding.
Ironmon Kaizo is the restart simulator. And it is soooooo random. You can have a good mon but terrible stats. You can get a good mon with good stats but still have awful moveset. You can get the perfect mon but don't find any healing items during whole game (yes, i did it). If you love this mod, you love to suffer
I just want to say I just recently started watching Alpharad and the amount of channels he has is making my head spin trying to keep up. Its like a new alpharad pops out of nowhere after every finished video
Alpharad to me is the proof that the mechanisms of fortune and probability in this universe always are acting in favor of the funnyman. Lady Luck has a lot of humor.
Perish Song being possible in enemy move pools is actually absurd bullshit. Kinda takes the fun out of the challenge if dumb crap like that can just end your run
3.09 - Swapping Pokémon You may not swap Pokémon to remove volatile status conditions. (a) You may swap out if you are affected by Perish Song, but you must immediately swap back.
I know it's too late now, and kinda against the bullshit nature of the challenge. But, I feel like a perish song and destiny bond clause would be nice to just not have mega bullshit losses to stuff pretty much entirely out of your control
I'm a fan of all the different Alpharads. Alpharad, Not Alpharad, Alpharad Plus/Deluxe/Gold, Alpharad Live, Alpharad Live, Alpharad Replay, Alpharad Shorts...
I really feel this can be a bit longer, like, this run an hour, do 2/5, or about 25 minutes instead of the 19 minutes (about 1/3 of the original length) it is now. If the vod is 5 hours long, condense it into 2 hours instead of 1 hours and 40 minutes. Overall, I would say this is almost the perfect sweet spot you should be aiming!
As a tip to anyone who wants a challenge but doesn't want to sacrifice their braincells by bashing your head against a wall: You can try normal Ironmon! When you use the default rules instead of the kaizo rules, Ironmon is actually a really fun challenge and fairly doable!
if he had tail glowed again on that last battle you would've one sadly cause you would have one shot both of the pokemon so same amount of turns. Really good run tho, love your content
Spark in gen 3 is special because it was the gen before the special and physical attack split. The split was Gamefreak rebalancing moves and types by changing their classifications. Every electric and dark type move was special and every normal type move was physical, ect. Hyper beam counted as a physical attack which worked wonders on Slaking. Spark is a physical move gen 4 onwards, and hyper beam a special move. I recommend going through a comparison chart.
I love this mod because of dumb shit like this. You learn tail glow on Kingdra and fucking BIDE is NOT one of the things you immediately consider getting rid of, because it's been crazy good for some reason.
Being a fan of Alpharad Live is like being a fan of Not Alpharad before he was Alpharad
and there it is
like so True
But he's not alpharad what do you mean?
yes
True
Not Alpharad may be dead, but Alpharad LIVE is alive!
It's even in the name!
More like Alpharad Alive is LIVE!
I think this would be infinitely funnier if it was just, “but Alpharad LIVE!”
not alpharad is not dead,just hibernating preparing for the new season
this new Alpharad Live channel is honestly great, I rarely am able to catch streams due to time zones and rarely have time later on to watch the full VODs, awesome that I can now enjoy more Jacob Alpharad content
i've been here since 2019, and as a long-time alpharad fan, i gotta say
we're so back
Bro I know right this feels like coming home
alpharad; the way home
This video is the exact Alpharad content I needed
yeah ive missed this era of alpharad
The best part of kaizo ironmon is when someone comes into twitch chat asking why you're not catching more pokemon
you are allowed to have another pokemon to be used for hm's and to use for swaps on specifically perish song, at least according to the ruleset I read.
the perish song swapping is only for kaizo ironomn+ which has a few rules to make the rng a bit less frustrating, but thats not in the original kaizo ironmon ruleset
@@Kready44 Ah I see ok thanks for the clarification.
I cant believe alpharad killed not alpharad!
As someone who has been subbed since 2017 i genuinely love all of your content, so seeing a highlight format back is oddly comforting so Ty
Actually same, I subbed on like 2019 and man this is the stuff I missed
The new videos are fine but this kind of vids are my favourite
I am actually sub since 1999, so I was here the longest (
@@invertebrado so true bro we all know you were there since 1804
I now understand why Pchal refuses to touch this with a 10 foot pole holy shit.
Cause its an unfun no skill 90% luck "challenge"
very little skill involved. it's like the world's longest game of russian roullete. and respectfully, any game that can take players anywhere from several hundred to almost 2k attempts before they beat it is just objectively not a fun game.
You cant just say something is "objectively unfun" when its just your opinion @@croatiancowboy

I was watching this thinking "Is this even fun anymore or is it explicitly designed to torture streamers?"

Absolute insane foreshadowing with how often perish song was mentioned.
I just want to say I just recently started watching Alpharad and the amount of channels he has is making my head spin trying to keep up. Its like a new alpharad pops out of nowhere after every finished video
He’s trying to build an empire to fill the power vacuum MatPat is going to leave behind
We will miss not alpharad despite alpharad covering for whoever that brave soul was
Honestly I really like the new channel, being old format content, we get the double the alpharad!
i can finally watch with full confidence that this is, in fact, alpharad
This thing didn't have the stats to win, but Tail Glow + Spark + Crunch + Ice Punch is a pretty damn good moveset lol
The livestreams/vods to longplay highlights to main channel productions to shorts pipeline is real and I am 100% here for it.
Can't believe Alpharad took over Not Alpharad's channel.
I almost had an anxiety attack thinking this was going to be the new Deluxe Gold Plus experience
i can’t believe this was alpharad the whole time…. never meet your heroes😔
Ever since smallant started spending 1000s of hours on kaizo ironmon, everyone started doing it and I love that
Yooo, Vixento is an editing genius. That intro actually got real laughs from me. Keep being awesome
honestly this run should be an accomplishment just for the fact that Bide was useful more than once
I’m such a huge fan of this style of content, I really hope you find enjoyment with this
Fucking of course he gets one of the best Pokemon in the challenge on attempt 1 as his starter. Only Alpharad could pull that off
Kingdra isn't one of the best Pokemon, it is the best Pokemon. You only have 1 weakness and it's a type with very few moves.
You and smant dropping ironmon videos back to back is genius marketing
Any NotAlpharad fans feel betrayed by this revelation?
Not Alpharad flew too close to the sun, now we have another
On perish song you’re allowed to switch out as long as you switch back immediately according to rules
Alpharad to me is the proof that the mechanisms of fortune and probability in this universe always are acting in favor of the funnyman. Lady Luck has a lot of humor.
Im glad that one guy asked for this to be posted an hour earlier
Shoutout to the person who told Jacob to play by his own rules for kaizo ironmon, they’re my hero
Alpharad: "Stinky moveset"
Reality: Tailglow, spark, ember, crunch, ice punch (all special)
That is a godmoveset, if only it had a better statspread.
The amount of luck from your first run actually vexes me. I was stuck in the lab for like 2 hours before I got a real run going. Awesome video though
Perish Song being possible in enemy move pools is actually absurd bullshit. Kinda takes the fun out of the challenge if dumb crap like that can just end your run
0:25 the image strikes again!
That's classic Jacob Alpharad luck, baybee
3.09 - Swapping Pokémon
You may not swap Pokémon to remove volatile status conditions.
(a) You may swap out if you are affected by Perish Song, but you must immediately swap back.
Would love to see this continue
Excited to see Stream highlights be a thing now
Not Alpharad walked so Alpharad LIVE could run
Not Alpharad died so that Alpharad LIVEs
Not Alpharad may be gone forever
But Alpharad Live keeps the Legacy alive
Calling it Alpharad live, as accurate to RUclips vernacular as it is, is so funny
So happy Alpharad took over the channel from Not Alpharad
I cant wait for Not Alpharad 2
Kinda glad that Not Alpharad guy decided to give Alpharad another RUclips channel, I’m sure he’ll use it better
Best character development in anime: * saying goodbye to Bide and grow *
The tragedy of the following 130 runs...
I love the new channel icon
If it was me personally, I would've named it Alpharad PLUS instead of live since it's like an additional Alpharad channel. 😂
do not invoke that name
Alpharad Definite Plus.
RIP Not Alpharad 2020-2024
I will miss the funny Non Alpharad clips :(
I know it's too late now, and kinda against the bullshit nature of the challenge. But, I feel like a perish song and destiny bond clause would be nice to just not have mega bullshit losses to stuff pretty much entirely out of your control
I like this. It's a little bit of slop, but it's good slop. Thank you for making this content
BTW trainer pokemon levels are increased so it gets harder later in the run.
I'm a fan of all the different Alpharads. Alpharad, Not Alpharad, Alpharad Plus/Deluxe/Gold, Alpharad Live, Alpharad Live, Alpharad Replay, Alpharad Shorts...
Truly flew to close to the sun
I guess now it's not not Alpharad now
Okay most comments will be usual funny haha but I want to say I am very excited for live highlights
I really feel this can be a bit longer, like, this run an hour, do 2/5, or about 25 minutes instead of the 19 minutes (about 1/3 of the original length) it is now. If the vod is 5 hours long, condense it into 2 hours instead of 1 hours and 40 minutes.
Overall, I would say this is almost the perfect sweet spot you should be aiming!
I was in this stream. It was a crazy time lol
As a tip to anyone who wants a challenge but doesn't want to sacrifice their braincells by bashing your head against a wall: You can try normal Ironmon! When you use the default rules instead of the kaizo rules, Ironmon is actually a really fun challenge and fairly doable!
if he had tail glowed again on that last battle you would've one sadly cause you would have one shot both of the pokemon so same amount of turns. Really good run tho, love your content
Pleasee post more attempts!!
HE'S BACK!!!
Tax evasion
I subscribed to this channel for a reason. And that reason is not Alpharad.
Stinky moves? Ice punch spark crunch tail glow is p darn good
You can in fact heal in wild battles who ever told you otherwise is either uninformed or trolling
Spark in gen 3 is special because it was the gen before the special and physical attack split. The split was Gamefreak rebalancing moves and types by changing their classifications. Every electric and dark type move was special and every normal type move was physical, ect. Hyper beam counted as a physical attack which worked wonders on Slaking. Spark is a physical move gen 4 onwards, and hyper beam a special move. I recommend going through a comparison chart.
Wait, you mean this IS Alpharad now?????
I think he could've won if he used tail glow again at turn 1 of perish song to get +6 so he could spend a turn each to 1 shot & survive
Awesome.
You could have tail glowed a second time though on t1 of perish counter and spark would have 1hkoed both. I think that was probably the out
Good to see Alpha grinding his Luck skill on stream 💩
What's the name of the blue info box on the bottom left screen? I'd also like to use it
this is his first run????!!??!?
Heard the first 5 seconds of vid and clicked watch.
Kingdra had a base of 55 sp attack soooo sad with tail glow
Anyone know what the mod is?
What’s that stat screen Alpha was looking at after the run?
16:44 ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS TAIL GLOW AGAIN NOOOO
I love this mod because of dumb shit like this. You learn tail glow on Kingdra and fucking BIDE is NOT one of the things you immediately consider getting rid of, because it's been crazy good for some reason.
I cant believe i've been sleeping on bide.
Obviously people can do what they want but smallant just posted this video 😂
Fuck YEAH LETS GOOOO
How did he get the guide In the bottom left corner
Isn't kingdra banned? 500+ bst and all
awesome
You’re never going to beat kiazo.
Does your pokemon matter if moves and IVs are random I guess typing and that's it
this is a slot machine ball buster, most of the rules reduce skill/game knowledge 😂
its not facade its fachady
Alpharad
Does anyone know what mod this is?
We’ve entered the schlatt era of Alpharad. He’s now to react to TikTok’s and condone drunk driving
Can anyone tell me what's going on in the bottom left corner?
The bottom corner showcases the moves, level, and stats of the pokemon Alpharad is fighting/using for these runs.
@@TruelyAstern Do you know where to get that little addon? It seems helpful if it works for more than just FR/LG!
Not not alpharad
Does anyone know the name of this mod
