      In theory you could set Weedle's level as high as 255, max out its DVs and stat experience, and turn off experience to prevent it from leveling down to 100 after gaining EXP. This would give it in-battle stats of 708 HP, 475 ATK, 446 DEF, 389 SPC, and 561 SPD. This makes Giovanni very doable with Struggle, which is a possible OHKO even on Rhydon. Agatha's Gengars are 3HKOs with Poison Sting, while Haunter, Arbok, and Golbat are 2HKOs. Lance might be doable even at level 100 due to his AI, while Giovanni and Agatha are probably beatable around level 150, but the Champion could still be a problem since Charizard's Fire Blast can still take out 20-25% of your HP, and Weedle can't OHKO Charizard even with Struggle until level 168, with the guarantee coming only at level 183. Level 183 gives a guaranteed OHKO on Alakazam with Poison Sting, and level 183 Poison Sting is also a likely OHKO on Charizard if Rhydon badge boosts you six times while you attempt a 14HKO on it.

Not only that but he perfectly got to struggle strats right on the Nidos and they only went for 35/40 base power normal moves to allow him to get to the end lol.

    The Agatha fight for Weedle has always interested me as someone with a statistics background. I'm pretty sure someone somewhere has already done a deep dive, but I do have an idea on how to approach it with something called a Markov Chain. Agatha switching makes that really tricky though.

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  6 месяцев назад

    Weedle's back sprite was looking like it asks you every single time that you sent it to battle, when is it going to end?!😂😂😂
    Basically,form the get go,the game likes to remind you that Pokémon is so bad ,that it's Brock split is equivalent to a good Pokémon's crystal run.😂😂 Trying to optimise that part alone is a formula for madness, but you asked and did play with madness, and you did it in the best possible way.
    I also really liked the explanation that you did why this challenge was doomed to fail to begin with. Frankly speaking, I don't think that even at level 255 Weedle could do it without x items. But maybe it (in a legit way) could do it in crystal, but that's too much madness for one year.🫡

      I think some curious people did the math for me. I think level 183ish is where you'd need to be to do it but not too much higher if it fails. It's crazy and I'll leave that up to someone else lol. I do think it's funny how Weedle's Brock split is a full F tier run on it's own and that just scratches the surface of how bad it is. I had the itch to explain the Agatha odds and probability for a long time now and I figured I'd wrap it up in a video.

      @@stallone5017 All I can do is present the odds and probability. It's up to you to decide if someone could actually do it. Think about it like someone getting 3 full odd shinies in a row. It's not something you do in a week and it's likely something that someone could spend their life on and never have it happen but let me say one final thing.
      The point to where the probability reaches 99% where it's likely to happen is around 138.15 million, and that's a very conservative figure. Let's assume someone plays out every fight to see if they get the luck and on average each reset is around 20 seconds.
      If you never slept, ate, or took a break and reset continuously for a whole day, that's 4,320 resets in a day, which no one would realistically do but I'm comfortable pretending that this person is a robot that doesn't need to do those things. In this situation, take a guess how long it would take to reach that probability without eating/sleeping/etc?
      The answer is 31,979 days and some change. That's 87.6 years assuming you never sleep, eat, have a job, or do anything other than do roughly 20 second resets on a Weedle run from like the age of 10 all the way to when you are about to turn 98 years old.
      I'm sorry but someone saying they spent a week sounds like something only gullible people who have no clue about odds, statistics, or probability would believe.

      I'm sure someone desperate and hungry for views might do it but it when you are making yourself crit a lot and just making the opponents miss or use bad moves, it's hard to see the point. It sounds very tedious and very boring to watch.
      The Emerald TAS is much more entertaining with Machop, crits, and guts.

      @@GymLeaderMatt1987 Yes, it is obviously a different type of videos. And normally it is quite interesting to see, why a decision for this or that was made. So with Weedle without a lot of decisions, there obviously isn't a point of it. But I just would be interested, how fast it is possible in theory.

      I've thought about TAS content but at the end of the day I just like playing Pokemon and how do you decide the limits of a perfect run. Do you just let the perfect situations always align and if you do, wouldn't nearly every decent run end up at the same time?

      @@GymLeaderMatt1987 I don't think they would. But I agree. I think TAS wouldn't match your style of videos which is great as it is.
