-- Saving between league members is allowed
-- If the solo Pokemon faints and I choose to blackout it counts towards my reset counter
*Double-Team:
-- Almost every Pokemon can learn Double-Team through TM

Quick sidenote, I appreciate the fact that you let the pokemon evolve at the end of their struggle. They have fought long and hard and deserve it. And it feels like something is missing if they don't get to evolve.
I already know this video is gonna be a ten outta tentacle!
Hay its Andrew Davis you come for the solo challenge and end up staying solely for the puns
@@eeveestars3668 That’s my style. Making people laugh when they don’t want to. I call it reluctant comedy.
@@AndrewDavis2112 Truly a visionary in our time.
Booooo!
Giovanni be like: *Only uses guard spec*
Also Giovanni: “Ha! That was a truly intense fight.” 💀
Loving how all the iconic trainers have a "trainer representative" in the bottom right screen. Shout out to the self destructing hiker.
I've been dealing with extremely excessive stress in my life over the past year, and the only way I can get myself to sleep is watching Pokemon videos because it soothes me and makes me think of my childhood Pokemon Yellow days on my clear purple game boy color (simpler times). Your videos are perfect because you have a very calming voice and don't fake enthusiasm/raise your voice more than necessary, you are just your genuine self. Also your PP jokes crack me up every time. Very grateful I found your channel, I probably watched all your videos 2-3 times over the past 6 months and they make me sleep like a baby away from all the stress every time, thank you for that Scott
That's great to hear! I agree his voice and being genuine is why he's the only poketuber I watch. Very professionally done too.
I have his Clefable vs Wigglytuff video on my nightly sleep playlist.
It helps *so much.*
Same. I sleep to Scott's Thoughts a lot too. He's well structured, says interesting things, with a good voice, patient editing and a calm atmosphere.
Ok but literally. Same. Here. This channel and others like it literally give me comfort and peace as I try to sleep and it’s the highlight of my day when their videos come out. Honestly thank you Scott!
Same here! You are not alone! I hope you are doing better! Cheers from Portugal!
I just wanted to let you know that I found Jrose, then Muh-Dry-Bread, then you, then from your video Vanman, and enjoy all of the Pokemon challenge runs, but your videos are my favorite to listen to. Your scripts and speech patterns really make your videos the easiest to listen to at work (sorry I don't watch, so I don't know whose video editing is best ha ha). If every early generation challenge runner puts out a video at the same time of the same Pokemon, Scott's Thoughts is always my first choice to view. Keep up the good work!
Scott's editing is by far the best. The Quality is outstanding.
Agree, scripting speech and editing is by far best at Scott's channel.
Scott has put A TON of work into his editing and video formatting. And he keeps improving it. I'd strongly recommend watching it sometime.
That feeling when you see yourself in the description of the video before it premiers. I've been wanting to redo a lot of my old runs but I can't wait to get to Tentacruel. The stats for gen 1 are never talked about but it has some crazy ones. I'm interested to see if you stuck with Barrier because my biggest mistake was swapping to Sword's Dance and struggling in the E4.
I'm excited for you to see this one! I should probably add your Tentacool video to the description too. Will do that now.
Ps. Barrier is very good!
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon I would say my older ones are cringey but I’m sure everyone thinks that. I watched your Hitmonchan and Butterfree videos the other day while working on a script lol.
You guys happily discussing your runs with each other is the most wholesome thing I've seen all day. Love both your channels!
Ayyy
Glm in da house
I was excited to see a lot of unusual moves showcased here, like acid, cut, and toxic. It's interesting to have such a great special stat paired with low-power moves.
Anyone would think tentacool would be a "Cool" experience for being a water type, but that poison type and low late level up is just "Cruel"
Scott, I have watched every video of yours. I love your content. It's so straightforward and simple, but it's also everything inside the inner child in me dreams of.
Scott lulls me to sleep most nights, no joke. It's an interesting enough topic to me that I think about it instead of what's on my mind, but it's familiar enough that I don't think too hard.
@@bradlauk1419 I also use Scott's videos to help with sleeping or doing chores for those exact reasons, but also watching his most latest videos are also good to just wind down to as well.
Absolutely loved this video, especially because of the tentacool expressions and that fairy type venomoth art!
For the Algorithm!
I think the channeler with two gastly is worthy of getting their own art like the self destructing hiker. I find it really fun when regular NPCs who are consistantly an issue get that treatment, and I feel that channeler is tough for mons who struggle to hit ghosts (and tentacool aparently hehe). Plus I think Serena's take on them could be wonderful~
Agreed. More cute art is always welcome.
15 minutes in "Scott's making great time!" *checks the video length* "Oh, not for long."
Love all the little animations you add to the Pokémon sprites on the side -- its a nice touch!
Fun Fact: pineapples don't grow on trees but right above the ground in a sort of bush haha
Tentacool's second playthrough was amazing, keep up the great work and I looking forward for other second playthrough with Pokémon who miss them ❤
True. Exeggcutor is actually based on the watermelon tree.
Wait, really?
@@KainaX122 yep blew my mind as well
@@UlimativeDunkelheit what’s blowing my mind is whether there’s ACTUALLY a type of tree called a ‘watermelon tree’ or if this other guy is just trolling
Oh watermelons grow like pumpkins, right on the cold hard ground
Scott out of context: "could acid be the answer?" 🤣
I cant even get through a whole video without wanting to play pokemon😂 been subscribed for awhile now, watched almost all your videos man. You’re my favorite youtuber at this time
dang the jellyfish surprised me. Thanks for your good content scott! Keep it up. I love this series so much^^
Excellent video, as always! I'm really impressed with how well it did in the second round.
Another amazing video! Didn't think the second playthrough would be such a breeze. What a cool little jellyfish.
Scott, you are such a respectful, genuine dude. god i appreciate you a lot man. so cool of you to keep other creators/friends in mind like you shared with us
Thanks for the comment Jack! I value those qualities so I’m glad they come through in the videos.
Wow there is literally nothing better than starting my day while listening to one of your uploads. I’m finally at the point where I’ve gotten through your back catalogue of videos so now I only get to do this when you upload something new. Meaning today was a good day 😉
Hey Andrew, thanks so much for leaving this comment. I really appreciate it
The whole 'I didn't want to do the thing another youtuber did' is honestly so weirdly nice, like I love when stuff like that happens.
Dude, 100 special? That's amazing haha. Can't wait for Horsea, Seadra was always one of my fav underused mons. Then there was Kingdra . . .
Tentacruel has 120 Special and 100 Speed. I never used it, but it seems to be absolutely amazing.
And yeah, Horsea should be really solid.
Recently discovered your channel Scott… never thought I’d ever find a content creator to out-jrose jrose. Keep up the incredible work!
Well I’m glad you’re enjoying my stuff.
I just love your narration. Keep at it Scott!
Thanks so much Dan
Got to love watching these videos keep up the good work!
Tentacool after that first Oak battle: ""Use Barrier against Tauros!" Scott said to me. "You will be fine!" he said to me."
It’s always so wild to see how optional trainer battles still manage to pull out a faster time over the playthrough without optional battles. Well optimized Scott!
I try to watch your vids here even though I support you on Patreon just to boost your videos. Your content remains great. You make my days better with your vids! Thank you :) AHHH MONO FAIRY VENOMOTH SO WHOLESOME.
I do the same thing for the algorithm
I just love seeing all the love and support we are throwing at this channel. Well deserved to say the least.
Whew, an exciting amount of customization and optimization. The testing was really neat and all of the strategies worked out rather flawlessly.
Also I'm always glad to see Oak give you a run for your money, even with full set up Exeggutor and Venusaur created a lot of problems.
An extremely underrated set of pokemon. I cannot WAIT
I love your videos so much. I look forward to them every week. I just want you to know that
To explain badge boost for the uninitiated. In gen 1 and 2, 4 badges boost a stat 12.5% (gen 3 10%, mechanic removed in gen 4). In gen 1 specifically, there is a bug that causes all the badge boosts to apply again whenever your stats change stage (from moves or Xitems). However, when you level up and your base stats change, this triggers stat calculations to be run from scratch, resetting the badge boosts to the unglitched 12.5% again.
Additional trivia about badge boost glitch: the stacks are based on number of changes, not the severity of the change. A +2 attack stage from swords dance applies the same badge boost as a -1 accuracy from sand attack. Badge boosts do not cap at +6 like stat change stages do.
Yay! Back to regular uploads and brightening up Fridays!
I really enjoyed the moveset experimentation for the champion this video!
First time I'm vatching a premiere of yours! Wooohh!
Especially early bug love! c:
This video could not be more tenti-cool! Keep up the great content
Thanks for the content. Its smooth and relaxing.
You're welcome Ryan :)
I love that you ended it by evolving him!!! So wholesome!!! : ))
Was expecting some swords dance/wrap or toxic/wrap shenanigans, didn't leave dissapointed. Great job!
I think Mega drain should have been kept. Hear me out. Most of the final gauntlet has a lot of pokemon weak to grass. Lorelei's pokemon, a chunk of bruno's, and even Blue's team to name some examples. You can replace rest with Mega Drain for the champ fight, half it's team, not counting the eeveelution are would make for good "rest" points in that fashion. Sometimes, the "weaker" move can prove to have more potential.
Edit for anecdote to help illustrate point:
Once, for fun, I did a Scyther Only run on Crystal. It was certainly an interest run and had a more casual approach to it, but when I got to red. I beat him with only Fury Cutter. That move is a lot better than what people give it credit for.
Beating Alakazam with Wrap and Surf is so in-character for Tentacool
Nice one of my favorite Pokémons, and Gym Leader Matt is awesome! Love his videos
He is awesome!
Tentacool is such an adorable pokemon, and with your custom animations it was even more adorable ☺️.
That run was really thought thorough, and you've improved the results of your first run so much. Thanks for trying the super troll strat of toxic and leach seed, even if it didn't get to job done for the champion fight.
While watching you fish for the freeze, I thought you would resort to use rage, to express that frustration of getting walled at the champion fight 😂. The slow growth rate is an issue when it comes to solo runs, even though Tantacool is a great pokemon for gen 1 and even in general. 🤔You've made Cool very proud of you👏👏👏☺️. Good job!
By the way these bloopers are never getting old, I always find it to be one of the best moments in your runs, and they always make me lough so hard while I do tedious stuff. So thanks for always making them, they're awesome. 😁
By the way, don't underestimate the of rage, because it can give you badge boost, with an awful price, of only using your attack stat. But, it can help somehow if you need other extra badge boost because you've leveled up at the middle of battle. 😊
This run was sweet. Surprised at how well you managed to mitigate the Poison typing, especially once you revealed slow growth rate too!
Found your videos a month or so ago really enjoyed your content 😊
Also I predict horsea will be similar to tentacool, probably slightly better
Tombstoner brother. Thanks for giving Matt a shoutout bro!
Happy to spread the word about other awesome creators!
I just did this run for fun, and when i heard you say you could finish the run under an hour 20, but hadn't fought the champion yet I knew you were in for pain. It took me forever to get past him after almost minimal resets in the rest of the game. His team was just so well set up to face tentacool. My ending move pool was ice beam, surf, barrier, and swords dance and I had to fish for a freeze on one of the early pokemon in his team to complete the setup. Incredibly frustrating last trainer, but deeply rewarding. Just wanted to say I feel your pain on that one but misery also loves company haha
_'A Charity Kinesis!"_ Good one Scott, yeah... that was a good one!
This series is so good. I listen to it while in bed and it reminds me of Pokémon red
Nice playthtough ! When I was a kid I round Tentacool and its evolution quite good
I love when the pokemon gets to evolve at the end! They worked hard for it!
Pretty good run! That slow growth rate really hindered it, but having a water typing is great, and wrap really helped with brock!
So the gameplay is good, the commentary is engaging, but I'mma be honest, I show up for the animations of the mons, and how their emotions change depending on the circumstances. Happy tentacool best tentacool.
Gym Leader Matt is indeed a Tenta-cool dude, I’ve talked to him several times via comments and watch pretty much all his challenge vids alongside Scott, MahDryBread and JRose
I told ya Tentacool would be sick. I think it's a real underappreciated gem of a Pokemon, especially when it evolves. While it may seem weird it has the slow growth rate, Tentacruel's stats in this generation are so good I think it might even be warranted. 120 Special! 100 Speed! Bonkers for a Pokemon no one bats at eye at.
Horsea...well it might end up being a little better than Seel. You do get Agility after all. But Horsea definitely is going to suffer in similar ways to Seel, outside of having a more inverted early game.
At least Horsea gets Smokescreen? :shrug:
No one bat's an eye at Tentacruel? It's the undisputed king of RBY UU in competitive Pokemon.
@@glitchedoom I more meant in the casual sense. I actually knew that fact, but the amount of people who know how Generation I's meta works is fairly small and any meta outside of OU is incredibly niche.
Tentacool and Tentacruel are just Pokemon you constantly run into in the water and pass by.
Gym Leader Matt: Certified Cool dude
Yoooo so fun!! Literally just did a tentacruel run, let my lil buddy evolve. It was fantastic with barrier and swords dance. Tentacruel ended with Blizzard, Surf, Swords Dance, and Hyper Beam
Tentacruel will always have a soft spot in my heart. My first ever play through of Pokémon red had some kind of chest code on it where I had like 50 master balls and a Ratana with surf. Because of this I accidentally went the wrong way to start the game. It was confusing and super hard but the tentacruel I caught carried me through the entire game until I got mewtwo.
I feel like there is a theme with pokemon that appear later in a normal playthrough having really good stats for first stage, but also generally having a slow level growth
That was a cool tent
I'm excited to have a video from my favorite challenge runner on my birthday
Tentacruel was always my go-to water Mon in Gen 1. Glad to see Tentacool save face with that second play through. That has to be one of the biggest improvements between a first and second play through on your channel, no?
I have to say, I've watched a few of your videos now, but I think your overlay is amazing. There's a ton of dead space with these videos because of the GBA aspect ratio, but you're using it to the fullest. Nice job man 😎
Thanks Adam! Glad you like it :)
Scott in nidoran run "I wont make any promises anymore" scott here "horsea is next :D"
Was recorded before I wrote Nidoran.
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon why do you not release them in the order of recording? It seems so weird holding back a finished vid. Is it just because of the promises in the past?
i love the small tentacool drawings, they're very cute
also, all hail the dome fossil
This video is gonna be a very TentaCOOL, calm, and relaxed one.
Thanks Scott for the fun
I recently also finished a tentacool run and I was moderately impressed with how well it went.
I've been revisiting your old vids during a stressful time in my life, and Christ, I'm just so impressed. Like I don't want to name names, but the quality of your editing, and your feel for what makes interesting content, both to watch and create, are so high, it's so impressive. You've ruined me for other poketubers.
Tentacool is fuckin rad. In later gens it becomes more of a special wall, but here it's just a bit of a beast. It's interesting how the big weakness is actually a benefit at koga of all gyms lmao. Very complicated learnset on this bad boy, cool to see you go through all the options.
Finally I'll leave you with this suggestion. In the same vein that removing the garbage puzzle in surges gym functions to remove a bad part of the game but ultimately makes better content, even as it's a less 'pure' experience, for nuzlockes I highly recommend you hack in infinite rare candies. I remember you saying you found them super fun, but time consuming. This (partially) solves this issue. It may be less pure, but grinding is not interesting to play or watch in a nuzlocke context, rare candying is totally worth it.
Sigh, not the Rare Candy argument…
I will likely use candies for Nuzlockes and turn off stat experience.
I love Tentacool! Such a unique Pokémon!
Nice :-)
Looking forward to how this is going
12:03 - Tentacool's typing makes Petal Dance neutral, so typing isn't saving it. Just its high special stat.
I think he meant that Tentacool could be a pure water type, but the poison type saved it from having a super effective hit
Commenting for the algorithm :)
I know it's minor but I really love the celebration animation for tentacool once the Brock fight is finished. Makes this pokemon I hated as a kid seem not nearly as annoying and almost endearing in a way. Something that never ceases to amaze me at gen 1 is how blatantly lopsided movepools for certain types are compared to others. Poison and bug types get absolutely shafted where the most powerful moves are sludge and pin missile respectively. Compared to water, fire, or psychic types that get hydropump, surf, flamethrower, fire blast, psychic, etc.
I absolutely love Tentacool and Tentacruel, they are absolutely beasts, but they really are annoying to grind up. I think this run also really reflects on how good they are, but how they do struggle against psychic types. Keep up the great work!
I do wanna say that I like to look a bunch at the movesets and mimic can make that a bit annoying due to it not changing on the moveset top left. I don’t know exactly if they moveset gets edited in or if it, just like the stats, gets update while playing, but if it’s in editing I’d love to see mimic change to the move that you’ve mimicked
Lt. Surge at it again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
You're the Wrapping Lass now!
I need to watch your older video to find out about the Venomoth typing!! On a side note I would love to see a Mono Fairy Venomoth as regional form.
time for aCooltent to shine
You the man! Thanks for the vid!
I love this channel!
9:08 Omg Angry Slowpoke. I’m loving it, thanks for asking for a Slowpoke commission
One day there will be custom art for every Pokémon!!
Glad to see a poison type do well even if its mostly because its water typing lol
Leach Seed / Toxic is my favorite combo of first generation.
It blew my mind when I discovered it as a kid.
When i played yelow my Ivysaur had leech seed , mega drain, toxic and vine whip
This was the highlight of an otherwise terrible day for me
Shoutout to Serena! What beautiful artworks those are 😍
19:57 a cursed image if I ever seen one. A larpris with teeth.
I've always liked tentacools older brother tentacruel because of the anime haha I hated grinding with him until he evolved but I'm so surprised by how well & intuitive tentacool was!
I'm mega excited for the Horsea video as it's one of my faves too. I think the show had a lot of influence on which ones where my favourite it seems 😅
Added extra for the algorithm: Venomoth is a ghost type! Can only be defeated by the silph scope or pokedolls 👀
Tentacool… glass cannon… B-tier?
When is the next vs vid? That is my favorite series that you do! I like how much research and determination go into those runs
Finally, my favorite pokémon('s pre-evolution)!
Horseeeeeeeeeeeea!
Who's excited for that cute little cannon-nosed baby sea dragon?
This guy.
Up next is the Pokemon I've been given in the credits. Neat!
tentacruel is the king of gen 1 uu. fun vid man
I wish that they’d give you horsea as a starter or early on. I love that Pokémon!
Thanks for the video, Scott
You’re welcome!
43:11 "supersonic might very well be the least consistent move before dynamicpunch was introduced"
Horn drill: am i a joke to you?
Ok but that move only needs to hit once to get the job done, meanwhile Supersonic needs to hit and then pass up to 5(?) checks per infliction to even be helpful. So I would say Horndrill is the better bet if you have a choice to make.
I can't wait to watch this, I've been working on a tentacool run. In Blue. Hasn't been going well, tbh.
Tentacool is the second best pokemon in rby 7U tier alongside Charmeleon, so it's technically better than mons like Farfetch'd, Golbat, Rhyhorn, Beedrill and Ivysaur, so I honestly think it's pretty underrated on its own
And Tentacruel is really good in UU from what I've heard.
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 always has been
Well not in generations it's banned in UU, that is.
when i first started watching youtube videos, i saw a Chugga Conroy video where he named his tentacool acooltent, and for some reason it’s stuck with me for years.
19:13 "Because I'm a Psychic Type, it's gonna spam rest"
Didn't know we were doing a Venomoth run.
