      @@dreeg1896 I think you've misunderstood what is being said. There's no skill or thought that goes into a Kaizo Ironmon run. You either get lucky or don't. Runs are expected to be seconds or minutes long 99% of the time. And that's not hyperbole or exaggeration. It's not a game, it's a less awkward version of an chat forum. "The run" where you win is going to be a couple hours tops. Almost all of the time a streamer puts into Kaizo Ironmon is not gameplay, it's chat interaction. That's why the people in the video joked about "the content farm". Because that's what it is. That was the entire point, from the start. There is no commitment or investment, it's just content that lasts exactly as long as the streamer wants it to, that requires no real start-up or expectation of finishing.

    The thing I love about CJ, especially as he plays more and more pokemon, is that his recovery play, while not perfect, often lets him clutch up unwinnable fights because he's able to take gambles a better player would just see as unwinnable and try to stall out and find a safe switch or guaranteed kill, leading them to just getting drained and being put in a totally unwinnable situation. And, yknow, sometimes what you don't know can't hurt you, not overthinking and overpreparing makes it easier to adapt to rng, and CJ demonstrates this pretty well (though tbh he could probably do a little more thinking and preparing...)
    He's a really interesting player and with a slightly better grasp on the basics, he could pose a serious threat in the challenges he joins, yknow, as the wildcard of Wildcard!

    i donno if pchal or any of his team reads the comments, but If you want to do some cool content that's easier to pump out next to these once-a-month videos, you should consider making videos of analysing the prep+battle of a few interesting trainer fights of your current run.
    You have hundreds of hours of content to choose from, your audience likes the in-depth prepping and you could go for an educational angle, you could plug your twitch a whole bunch and make youtube-people feel more invested in your current runs, and you're already explaining the plan three times over during the stream for every battle, so the content is literally already there!
    If you just wanna post once a month thats fine too, but I think it's a bit of a no-brainer to make like one or two 5~20 minute videos taking a look at/explaining some fun/interesting/notable fights. I know you have Pchal-Daily, but this could be a middle-road way to leverage all the hours of content you have over on twitch :]

      Like, go over the team mon-by-mon to explain why they are tricky (could be post-com/scripted), explain the team-building process and what you were looking for, why choices were made and explain why certain ideas were discarded etcc, and then show the battle as a clip from the streams. 5~10 minutes per fight, 2~3 fights per video.

    i think what this really shows is the strengths and weaknesses in the difference in philosophy between hardcore Nuzlockers as a whole (represented here by SmallAnt) and the way Patterz/GameBoyLuke/The Core 4 all think. the hardcore Nuzlockers plan for EVERYTHING, but while it didn't happen to Ant sometimes things can go wrong and one mistake or AI quirk you didn't plan for disrupts the entire line because everything is planned out so rigidly going into a fight. meanwhile, i'd hazard a guess that many of us are fans of the other side of nuzlocking as well, and most of us are fans of those creators because they're personality driven, do collabs frequently, and the core 4 in particular have joked in the past in various ways about how when the collab is happening the gameplay is more or less secondary to the conversations which are pretty funny and out there. patterz though has done quite a few soul link cagelockes, which that very specific format brings out the true virtue in the other half of the nuzlocking community: the ability to let things you didn't expect kinda roll off your back and adjust moment to moment, with the team you bring just having a lot of general answers even if nothing specifically hard counters a mon or 2 on the opposite team. that's what we saw with patterz after the few deaths he had, everyone noticed that none of the unexpected non-sac deaths really bothered him, he just recalibrated in the moment and went "okay next move." he didn't account for bulk up AI, but while it made him a little nervous he just went, again, "okay next move" and that's the real virtue of the side of nuzlocking we don't see in the hardcore half. SmallAnt went clean and deathless, but i think Patterz won simply for being able to adjust minute to minute. and then CJ was there purely for content.

So of course Jan's pride and honour are at stake here. If he does not beat it, the name loses it's meaning, the play is's main actor, the ying it's yang.

    Without knowing the exact IVs and natures, I think CJ still had a chance at the end. Lead araquanid and sticky web+do enough damage for Breloom to kill with brick break or miracle seed seed bomb if you soaked. Sack eldegoss to Pidgeot to get speed drops for jynx to win. Sack jynx to cinccino so Breloom can kill using the sticky web. Send in chesto Donphan on Meloetta's relic song and bait cc into Xatu. Cheri Xatu wins and is sacked to Azu, then Breloom kills Azu and chips Diggersby enough for Donphan to kill with ice shard. Any heart scales remaining should be used first on Breloom attack, then Breloom nature if possible.
