    Hot take: since body slam would be pretty much worthless against Steven anyways, you probably could have won if you swapped it out for Harden of all moves using a heart scale. As long as you don't get toxic from skarmory, you should be able to boost defense enough that you could power through an earthquake and heal off shell bell. Just my hypothesis though.

    • @mayborneflower
      @mayborneflower Год назад +16

      Set up on Cradily instead. It’s not much of an attacker, both his STAB moves and confusion damage are negligible, and Shell Bell plays off nicely against its utter refusal to get OHKO’d (which prompts Full Restore spam) and access to Ingrain.

      It sounds like a hard run, and maybe late game it is, but larvitar basically wrecks gyms 1-4, and gym 6 and 7. I would argue it's easier than most starters, the only real challenges being chuck, pryce if you're unlucky, clair, maybe Bruno. The champion having all flying types doesn't help. Erika, misty, migjt be risky, but there's a big level lead by that point. blue and red would be a different story. I've tried the run, it's pretty easy.

      I know I'm a little late to this comment section, but...
      EV training isn't as useful in solo runs - since you're battling everything with that one 'mon anyway - so any EV training efforts you do put in aren't going to be enough to make a significant difference. And... it's been a long time since I played Emerald, but aside from HP and Speed... and maybe Special Defense... I don't recall any other good EV grinding spots until late in the game. ALSO, bear in mind in 3rd gen there's no way to refund/reduce EVs, so any unwanted EVs are stuck on your 'mon.
      ... all that said, I do agree that Amnesia would have been a big help in this run. He could have used that.

    Hey ! Amazing video as always, and I've got an idea for a challenge :
    Eevee is THE pokemon that was made to be evolved in order to be actually used, right ? Well, what if you did an "Eevee Only" run ? Could work on any game, as it's been here from the beginning.

    24:13 that's not the only problem:
    Kingdra's ability is Swift Swim, meaning its speed stat doubles in rain. The moment Whiscash uses Rain Dance, you're doomed
    And before anyone comments: yes, I know he acknowledged it, just wrote it before noticing, my bad.

  • @Kevin-gg2bl
    @Kevin-gg2bl Год назад +3

    Errrr, there is zero situations where evolving makes you worse. Ground attacks are physical, so x4 sounds worse than x2, but you're also only receiving 1/3 thanks to your defense. Water comes out as even. So yeah. evolving is better. Unless you're worried about fighting or steel. But yeah, you shouldn't be

    • @crazychristopher1989

      Not as much for Steel because Fire is resistant on its own, thus resulting to be type neutral against Magcargo. Now Fighting on the other hand is a yes because it's super effective.

    • @jafortune
      @jafortune Год назад +2

      That's only by base stat. In a damage calc triple defense would be worth a moderate amount less and since evs are additive they provide more percentage benefit to lower stats. Magcargo is legitimately more vulnerable to water moves in this game than Slugma is.

    • @KeithTheGeek
      @KeithTheGeek Год назад +1

      Yeah, I kinda wonder why people were telling him to use Magcargo. Water moves TECHNICALLY do more damage to Magcargo but Slugma dies just as quickly to them in most situations anyways... Fighting moves end up doing less despite the 2x boost because of how much more defense Magcargo has over Slugma.

    Finally I been waiting for this video for years since no one ever uses Magcargo.
    I wish Magcargo had Smell Smash in this generation (I don't even know if the move was in gen 3) which I find to be useful on a Magcargo since it helps raise all his stats in taking up his defense. Which isn't horrible for a mon with high defense.
    I know this isn't the best Pokemon out their but I love Magcargo. One of my most favorite Pokemon of all time.
