      Hey, remember Jrose's Eevee challenge where he went on about how he hates to see people be a dick to me in his comment section?
      Honestly it doesn't matter. Derva can think it's all luck if he wants to. Until you've actually done these challenges, you don't know how little you can get by with luck.
      It's one thing to watch an edited video with some of the attempts in it. It's another thing to actually sit there trying the fight over, and over, and over. Hell, I don't even use speed up.

      @OmegaTyrant 4 года назад +46

      Tauros won't be able to; his only move until level 21 is Tackle, and at level 21 he then gets... Stomp, and he doesn't learn a move to avoid building Onix's Bide until he gets Tail Whip at level 28. Tauros will destroy everything after Brock, but he is going to be stuck for so long at Brock that he won't be able to catch up to Mewtwo, the birds, and could even finish behind the highest ranked first stages. The other broken Normal types, Chansey and Snorlax, won't be able to match Mewtwo either because of Gen 1 early movepool problems, but they do get better options than Tauros for dealing with Brock and could make a run similar to Zapdos.

    @MadTheEgg 4 года назад +1

    OK, so I got here from ProtoMario. I love pokemon videos and especially the older games and series. First, I´d like to write, that this video was fun to watch, as well as it was fun to hear. Great voice and great speaking! Strong combo. BUT, to be fair, I was I bit frustrated during the video as well.
    I read some comments and I am surprised, that no one sees, that JRose uses Rattatas strong points quite badly. I mean, critical hit is luck, for sure, but it is a thing and it plays its role. Rattata might be bad pokemon overall, but his potential is actually very high! His speed makes up for his generally bad defence. Higher chance of crit hit is sort of a "bonus" to it - so use it! Second thing is his move set. Having a combo like hyper fang - quick attack, super fang - hyper fang, or even super fang - quick attack is so good! Yet, it was replaced too soon. As well, as these moves works at early stages pretty well with Rattatas tail whip too, when it´s needed.
    I would see a problem for Rattata beating Misty´s Starmie, Erika´s Victreebel, Sabrina´s Alakazam, Koga´s Weezing and Giovanni´s Rhydon. Of course with the move set I mentioned. Still, I WOULD NOT DROP it out - WHY? With replacing tail whip for bubblebeam (or dig, which is actually smarter for battles, but worse for training) those four moves makes more than fine line. Other battles should Rattata definitely be able to win.
    Third thing - in "only run" using rare candys? What kind of crappy stategy is that? I understand, that with doing such videos time flies a lot, but if you train on certain places, you train pretty fast as well. Great spot generally is Diglett´s tunnel, and good spot for Rattata would be place with Voltorbs next to Rock tunnel. Later a spot with Fearows and Raticates next to Fuchsia. After training got on bike and you´re in PK Center right away, but even without it it´s just a little time to reach the Centers... And if you feel like a weaker trainer, there is nothing easier than overtrain Rattata at the begining in Viridian forest and then battleing every trainer on the road. It´s not such a big time deal. Which of course will save you money for potions etc... and these money you can use for HP UP, carbos, iron, protein and calcium later! No rare candys, making Rattata actually worse than by regular training. Sell it and buy HP UP/PROTEIN instead!
    Also... body slam is really a good move, stronger than hyper fang... BUT on "two shot" battles it´s better to stay with HF. Flinch is flinch, paralysis is better for longer battles... and then again, that is not sure either. Better think twice. Generally might be better to overtrain Rattata for first two gyms, then beat quickly Surge and Erika. Yes, even Victreebel. With a bit of luck you can beat it with that combo of super fang and hyper fang. With a different luck with these two, flinch and another HF/QA... It may sound that you play a risk, but Victreebel´s crit hit with razor leaf is what? Both is a risk. You may loose 4 times in a row and you may even win 4 times in a row. Of course you have to know, how to use these combos. As well, as move like dig. Dig is better as a finnishing move, than a starting one!
    I mean, the combo SF-RF will very much stay till the Elite four, but for Koga and Sabrina you need to train a bit more, or prepare for it carefully. Beating Sabrina is simply the thing of speed, so I would first beat Koga, then I might consider replacing that hyper fang with body slam, if I would´nt want to train so hard. It might even be a better choice for Givoanni, but like I wrote... that depends... on Giovanni it sure will need a plan and a backup for any case... From there, it´s a game of tanks or strong moves, so changing attacks might start here, if you´re not great strategist. I didn´t mentioned rival, since I don´t think that any of his pokemon, except for Gyarados and Exeguttor are different to prepare for. And yes, dig or bubblebeam would not make a good choice to battle them with. So on these two is actually better to start up putting your luck in game with hyper fang and then "hammering" them with it.
    Elite four is a different game. Still, I would consider at least sticking with super fang (even though I like HF more). In battles with Dewgong, Cloyster, Slowbro, Machamp or even Dragonite it is still a great attack, that you can rely on as a start up. But, you would need a luck, or not overusing this. On Rattata it would be a too big risk at this point. Using it in the middle of the battle (2nd, 3rd...) might not get you to actually win the battle... And as JRose planned it, as we heard with that explanation on thunderbolt, I would definitely pick strong electric type move as one. Lorelai, Golbat, Pidgeot and Blastoise need this attack to feel on them. Dig and blizzard were awesome as well, problem was, that JRose didn´t use dig right in many battles. Too bad for him...And blizzard and it´s chance of freezing opponent is all you need for all kinds of turn around. You might set up with healing, x-items...
    So, I must say, that JRose is great youtuber, but not that great pokemon trainer. :-D Sorry, if that is a bit over the line, but he really thought a lot about typing strategies, but he forgot, that in this game there is much more, how to beat the game much easier. A shame. Overall, like I´ve mentioned, I enjoyed. Better "luck" next time! :-)
