6:40 also, there was a glitch in the Switch version which higlighted moves purple even if they werent illegal...it's been patched...

[@WinternetLP]

This is true! This is actually what the footage I used in this video is from because it was easier to find in higher quality, haha

[@TheSalamanderMenace4]

8:32 in stadium only, if hyper beam misses, then it will require a recharge turn as well!

[@WinternetLP]

Also true! I don't know how I didn't mention this. Hyper Beam is overall just a lot more punishing and not worth using in Stadium over moves like Double Edge.

[@TheSalamanderMenace4]

@@WinternetLP Yes, also Double Edge ain't too hot either since it's only 100 base power, use Body Slam.

[@WinternetLP]

I'd argue there's no reason not to use both on a Pokémon like Tauros. Double Edge's recoil is ignored when it breaks a Subsitute or knocks out an opponent, so that bit of extra power can make a difference!

[@TheSalamanderMenace4]

@@WinternetLP true! haha

[@theIJPmexican]

cool video.

[@WinternetLP]

Thank you!

[@foohfreitas6153]

its is not 9 hp is actualy 11 😂

[@WinternetLP]

You spend an hour using Tackle and Splash nearly 80 times in a game with unskippable battle animations and try to do quick math, then get back to me

[@IceSpoon]

9:53 you could've used a Ditto. Transform has only 10 pp, unlike Splash.

[@WinternetLP]

You're right! I didn't think of that. I tried a few options and ended up with Magikarp.
