I haven’t played a lot of gen 8 so I’m sorry that I didn’t know that all those moves were actual moves I’m just a filthy casual after all 😤
I dont blame you some of the new move names sound fake XD
@Miner49r no its just op in psychic terrain :/
@@austinfielder2524 i just realized that XD sorry istg showdown made me thing it only worked in psychic terrain
Ya in the starting I was confused when u declared that "rising voltage"(Isle of armour tutor move)was unofficial
Maybe 'cos it was printed as "rise voltage"
Lol
I really like how they re-made the "gigantamax" as being mega evolutions with unique abilities & stats; so much better than just doubling their hp.
Ikr
and giving them a funny move that is usually worde than the base one
And sometimes makes the mons become really ugly.
And ORAORAORAORAORA
20:50 “He starts out with a Pidgeot”
Shows swellow
Me: visible confusion
That is pigeot but the pigeot color change :v
Me too XD
Wait what?!?!?!!?!??!
@@novacraft257 good eyes
There was no new moves. Some “ new moves” are isle of armor tutor moves, such as dual wingbeat and expanding force; and plasma fists was zeraora’s signature move.
lol he messed up
Yep and surging strikes and dark hole darkrai??
Ravi Patel surging strikes is one of urshifu’s signature moves and dark hole is actually new but has moves that sound like it.
There’s aqua fang and also bad tantrum.
Jerry Ferrell water fang move and dark type stomping tantrum? I dunno
Zwiggo, most of the moves you thought were new were DLC moves from Isle of Armor. Except Plasma Fists, which was Zerorea's signature move IIRC
You do remember correctly, Plasma Fists is a Zeraora signature
also cynderance have libero that works exectly the same as protean
@@RotivOsnofa and also, on an unrelated note, the game showed GMax Toxtricity as a Mega, which is kinda random
@@KinjiroTheThunder the new pokemon that can mega is pokemon that can be gigantamax
@@novacraft257 clearly, because Toxtricity doesn't have an actual Mega
You should made a Sand team dawg. I was recording my playthrough and BODIED Blaine wth that
That’s if he doesn’t attempt it Normal-types
Bro you’re already at Blaine?? Man you must bulk record this game which is understandable bc it’s fun as hell
Them spoilers. I'm still going to watch but now I know whats up
Les français sont la
blaine's typhosion has a fire type gale wings and hdboots so just focus sash counter it to easily win xD
I beat that guy with just 4 mons
This is the type of pokemon game that you have to take your sweet time coming up with cool strategies to actually enjoy it...that's another type of grinding. Otherwise it will get frustrating. I really love this game, glad you played it
I love your romhack videos, so awesome seeing all these passion projects with presumably years of work put into them
Respect to you for knowing your limits and what you're into, keep up the good work.
Git Gud moment
I love that my favorite ROM hack is getting attention from more people now
This game have battle bond ablity ash greninja ????
Its my fav too
@@masterswordsmanzoro7233 yeah
poke fane gamer yes but it's really hard to get
@@kyhz04 its easy, rematch misty, get froakie, use ablility pill and bottle cap
"I didn't have the time" says him after trying the gym for 6 hours
So after watching this video, I decided to try this challenge out myself.
I just beat Blaine and I managed to sweep with only 1 pokemon.
That pokemon was (mega) Kangaskhan, which you can catch in the Safari Zone. You get get the mega stone on the 7th floor in Silph Co.
I spent 350k pokedollars to max out its IVs in Celadon city and EV trained in speed and attack. I maxed its IVs because I'm sure I'll be using it for the rest of the game. EV training isn't too hard because you can reset EVs in Saffron City and you can increase the amount of EVs you get by using Macho Brace (for attack) and Power Anket (for speed). You can use the Dexnav to control which pokemon you find in the wild. I used it to find Dodrios in route 16 to max attack EVs. And for speed, there pond where the man is waiting has Poliwhirls is the fastest way to max speed EVs. I also spent 7500 pokedollars to make it adamant nature.
Now with all the setup out of the way, now to the item, ability, moveset, and strategy.
Item:
Kangaskhanite (Obviously)
Ability: Parental Bond (Obviously)
Moveset:
Power-Up Hit
Rock Slide (considering changing, but good for now and great for blaine)
Drain Punch
Sucker Punch
Strategy: Parental Bond is a broken ability (imo) that which causes most damaging moves to become two-strike moves, with the second strike being half as strong as the first. My general strategy is to use Power-up Hit on setup pokemon so I can increase Kangaskan's attack by 2 stages (Parent Bond makes this move multi-strike, so you get 2 boosts) and then sweep using my other moves. Drain Punch is really good for recovering your HP after you setup. Rock slide is good coverage and has chances (x2?) for flinching. Sucker Punch is good for taking out pokemon that are faster than you. So my strategy against Blaine was to use Power-up Hit twice on the Torkoal and tank an explosion and then sweep the rest of the faster pokemon with Parental Bond boosted Sucker Punch.
Pretty OP and cheesy, but whatever xd
I still had the rest of my team if I couldn't sweep, which I can write up if ppl are curious. But yeah, EV training is kinda important and paying attention to IVs are a good idea.
I'm so addicted to this game that I play with a new team every week lmao. I've used weather teams, mono gen teams,my favorite mons and there's still so much to explore. Feels nice to have beaten it 7 times till now.
Do you know where go get the quick claw or any useful items
@@chachasmooth5863 quick claw isn't in the game. You need to use some cheats to.get it. I personally didn't use any. Check out the docs of this game to know locations of all important items.
Thank you
@@kevins8850 Out of context but can you tell me the difference between the randomized (hard and normal) and non randomized version of the game?
@@mattheoskorreshi3333 For the non randomized modes, you can know which pokemon you can get on which routes by looking at the game docs. But in randomized mode, every route's pokemon are randomized (you could potentially find a legendary on an early route). This game also has a 'hard' randomizer mode, wherein you will only encounter moderate/weak pokemon through the randomizer
This rom hack had me ready to fight anyone and everybody irl
20:50 I didn't know pidgeot had a new sprite haha
Blaine's Typhlosion has a bonus where it has 1st turn attack priority as long as it has full hp, no way to outspeed it, you either need to take a hit or use a priority move yourself.
Here are some tips
Slaking is god- he can use slack off on truant turns
Also i won't actually try to do a mono type challenge
U cn easily ev train its very easy in this game bit requires a lot of money that u cn get by raid dens. U hv to use vitamins or wings ( that u get frm dens but it takes a lot of them). There is a nature changer in Pokémon center. U cn erase ur ev's or have hidden abilities in saffron city. There is a perfect iv's doing guy in celadon building (where u get the tea) on floor 2 but he requires a lot of money( also perfect ivs are illegal in actual pokemon). Also there are several hold items that u cn farm like weakness policies and maybe focus sash( i dont know about sash). Hold items play a really important role. And thats all from me 👍
Best of luck from me if u ever try to do it ever even as a casual gameplay 👍😀
There are also ev training routes that he can access after Koga.
@@bryanisraeltorres7643 Can I know what route is that?
@@yearoldjar
Radical Red Evs Spots
Hp - Viridian City waters

Perfect IV’s are not illegal in pokemon
Perfect IV's aren't illegal. Wut?
Thx very much for doing my request I tried this too its so hard and my pokemon its all gen 8 but I beat it Thx very much❤️ Your 1 of my favorite pokemon youtuber.
Plasma fists is zeraora’s signature move
,i like Espeon
I think you need more subs man! Your soo good!
100% agree this man has an amazing voice in my opinion... and that French voice when he plays platinum 👌😫
Oh, you should have used Dunsparce. Its serene grace ability helped me a ton. Even beat the Elite 4 and champ with it on my team. It somehow managed to sweep Lance’s Primal Dialga, Dragonite, and Mega Salamence before running out of PP and fainting on the first try.
Thank you for posting when you can't pass the challenge!!.. That's also entertaining (in a nice way)
It's refreshing to know that there's a pokemon youtuber i like who is a filthy casual when it comes to EV training and all that competitive stuff just like me
Cinderace's hidden ability is Libero, which has the same effect as Protean
He called a swellow a pidgeot
my brain: How, why, MY BRAIN HURTS
Wait your brain has a brain?
Zwiggo I love your commentary, to help you:
-expanding force is boosted by psychic terrain
-Cinderace has libero which is protean
I just feel bad for u but u did great u did your best!
Yeah, Libero is Cinderace's hidden signature ability and is pretty much Protean under a different name.
This is by far the best Rom created by now.
Grote fan van je Yt btw.
Did I beat that game with a sun team and It was so hard but still so rewarding
I didnt use any weather team to beat it
How hard is that?
@@un_common1483 Pretty hard i had a plan which involved checking elite four and champ teams (they had 2 different teams each) and planned which i wanted to fight Depending on my team for example Loreli had a Hail and a Rain team and i picked rain because i knew my team was better suited for it
Did you?
The point is to Beat Radical Red with Only Normal Types
Toucannon with Beak Blast helps a lot in this game. The burn on physical attack comes clutch in a lot of attempts.
Ziwgoo : I will never play it again
Also zwigoo plays randomized nuzlock in radical red
This is my favorite hackrom. Its hard but not impossible, and still so reawarding. Once you get a mega blaziken with protect you can swipe most teams
@@ginosogoretic2276 Blaziken has speed boost, after using protect once it gets a +1 speed in the next turn which makes it extremely dangerous.
Pre Halloween video wooo!!!
Respect, knowing when to bow out gracefully takes courage. You’ve got my support
man, i dont even know how i like this kind of video until i knew you (sorry for english mistakes. English is not my primary language)
I WAS JUST WANTING TO WATCH RADICAL RED PLAYTHROUGH AND HERE IT IS
Suggestion: Pokemon Outlaw but you can only use Dark Type Pokemon due to it's dark nature.
Damn we got some normie memes in this video, but i stay for Zwiggo and his mad lad attitude towards one of the hardest rom hacks, you have more balls than me
zwiggo's way to celebrate halloween is being scared and traumatized from a pokémon rom hack, lol
Zwiggo : he start with pidgeot
Me: it's a swellow
Broooo u could have had an EV training in the Koga town, and an IV encrease to max in Erika town, with those features the game become pretty playable (until the league, there u would have thrown it away any case just because u can't win this game with normal type only)
Lol people have beaten the game with all normal types before though.
coz of aunt agatha? and her obsession with dead people
What is koga town and what is erika town?
True. But you got to understand thats 350k per pokemon
Someone beat mono normal
I'm surprised you made it that far.. I mean, I was stuck at the battle against whitney (which is completely optional btw) before battling Lt. Surge, I attempted that fight several times (lost count😅) and it drove me crazy! And you know what I did after that? I gave up!
You can feel the challenge in his voice 😲😲
(BTW love your videos 💖💖💖)
Yor challenges r OP
Try getting kangaskhan in the safari zone. Additionally, getting its mega stone, it could help maybe
I recently started this game, and damn it's hard. I am going to the elite four currently.
Go Zwiggo! (My gut says you’ll likely get slaughtered), but Go Zwiggo anyway ! 😅😁👍🏾
Being a competitive draft player i can approve....Zwiggo is a Filthy Casual XD
YALL READY FOR MEGA TOXTRICITY
Zwiggo needs so many more subs, his challenges are so unique
i love watching u struggle :))
Giovani with that kangaskhan is op af I'm soooooooo frustraisted. I have 40+ level 47 pokemon and i STILL cant take it down. U make it looks so easy >_
When fire red an sword and shield u unite (with some extra Pokémon)
Him beating giovanni first try was wow (not the first battle)
Also him don't realize that if he didn't One-Hit KO the greninja it would become ash-greninja
Hey zwiggo when you are ready to take on this game again just know the stat scanner and nerd in the poke fan club in saffron are needed for EV training and there are specific locations in the game where you can EV train.
This is game is impossible to beat without EV training and held item strats, hope you play it some day
This game is really hard i agree! But theres a lot of pokemon and new features! Making this amazing
Dual wingbeat is a move that's in the actual games
It's 40 base power and hits twice
And plasma fists is not new
It's the signature move of zeraora
100 base power
Dual Wingbeat is from Isle of Armor.
Edit: Expanding Force is also from SWSH, it does more damage when it's used on Psychic Terrain.
Edit 2: Cinderace has Protean as its Hidden Ability.
But explain mega gallades ability sword master
@@feliciakrnwn Name is different, but they're pretty much the same thing effect-wise, so I can see why the Romhack maker didn't see a reason to just make Libero.
@@Xande-bh5tm Romhacker buffed mons he believed needed buffs and nerfed ones he saw as overpowered. Several mega's got nerfed, and Dracovish (who is currently banned to Ubers) has less attack than normal.
Some buffs include the Purugly line getting a new hidden ability, which gives it the special attacking equivalent of Huge Power, and Truant allowing recovery moves to be used during the truant turns, so SlackOff/Rest can be used instead of doing nothing for a turn.
@@Xande-bh5tm it buffs sword moves, there is a list of moves that it buffs. I think it boosts the moves around 1.2x
After I saw your video I also tried to do a challenge to complete the whole game with only normal types and yeah I done it and I got much help with your video so thank you so much and the best team to complete this game with normal types are slaking, pidgeot, mega Kangaskhan, obstagoon, snorlax, last is ur wish
Hey Zwiggo I am one of your biggest fans and this is just me thinking out loud but do you think that you can do a challenge in this rom hack thing called pokemon the last fire red in hard mode or even randomizer. I play that game myself and I think it is really hard. The grinding was painful. But I am 100% sure that it is not as hard as this one. Your content is awesome and I look forward for your new uploads.
" it wrecks my beaver " thats what she said
ZWIGGO I ADDED YOU TO MY POKEMON EMERALD RANDOMIZER NUZLOCKE AS MY SWAMPERT
Thank you for the heart Zwiggo keep up the good work man
I’m still playing through radical Ted but Giovanni in silph co was my biggest challenge thus far. I used a soundproof kommo-o with max defense and a siteua berry to set up three dragon dances on his hippowdon and then swept his entire team with earthquake and dragon claw.
Thanks for the video
Literally I Encounter a Shiny Starmie of Misty in his Gym in Radical Red
dual wingbeat, plasma fists and expanding force are all real moves btw
I can't even beat this with a normal team great job man!
Edit: ok it's understandable that it didn't work out and I got brickwalled by sabrina lol
same im playing as well stuck at sabrina
The rival in silph co absolutely destroyed me every time. Might try another run.
Cinderace gets a hidden ability called libero that works similarly to protean.
On my play through Sabrina started with Indeedee and Porygon2 (with trick room) instead of Hatterene. She actually caused me a lot of problems.
Yeah p2 is a lot tougher to take out in one hit
I was stuck in the Blaine fight for HOURS, i finally was able to beat him by changing the wheater (Rain Dance on a rock-type pokemon). Zard and Plhosion were the main problems, but they both need the sun
The typhlosion has blazing soul (gale wings for fire moves) that's why you can't outspeed. Indeedee's psychic surge would have helped you there. Also you can use choice scarf to give your mons some needed speed.
Anyways kudos for trying this run you mad lad.
"Mega toxtricity"
Me:isnt that gmax toxtricity
There is no Dynanax in this game so most Gigantamax forms were reused for Mega designs.
I like it way more that way.
Eh I was saw Dynmaxes as Mega evolution + Bigger scaling
the dynamax band is replaced with mega ring,
you get dynamax band only for raid den battle
I never tried a fight in this game much if i lost i just remade my team if i saw my team was getting beat
20:51 “He starts off with a Pidgeot.”
*sees Swellow* BRAH
I’m sorry. XD I had to point that; I laughed.
Oh man this rom hack looks fun to try also cinderace gets libero which is the same ability effect as protean
I had much more struggles than you, my problem started with Misty. I'm still figuring how to defeat the E4.
Bulky mons can make the game easier if you're still struggling in the e4.
Get a g-cursola,slap on an eviolite, teach it strength sap and run through the e4 lmao
"This game isn't healthy." -Zwiggo
Pokémon Emerald Kaizo: I Am the hardest rom hack ever!
Pokémon Radical Red: Hold my Beer
I know you said you don't want us to ask you to play this again, but if you were to try it again casually someday, I'd watch the video!
Actually he can beat it if he have a good mons since there are alot of buff normal type pokemon and he should do ev training
Honestly, this rom seems pretty interesting. Harder than Kaizo Emerald, but it seems far more fair. It may go hard a bit too fast, but it asks more for strategy than just brute force levels. I may look into downloading it sometime.
The way you are supposed to beat emerald kaizo is by doing big brain plays and not overleveling, but whatever.
definitely worth playing. Kaizo annoyed me because wild encounters were limited, but this game is super fun. I recommend getting yourself a slakoth because truant was buffed in radical red. Zwiggo probably would have faired better in this video if he used him.
Another Pokemon I recommend is Blissey... but that's only if you want this game to be easy mode. I literally swept Blaine with my Blissey using charge beam + serene grace strats.
@@MidoseitoAkage You still need to know how to use that knowledge. We're talking about the series where you can go online and body kids using hacked perfect legendaries with your ragtag team of trained favorites.
Emerald Kaizo is harder
Every one is first until they refresh
if you read this there is a super easy way to beat blaine with your team.
indeedee, on switch in it sets up psychic terrain which makes it so any priority move fails if the defender (meaning you) is on the ground. Typo's ability makes it have priority on all of it's fire moves, and without them it's overall a dead weight on his team.
also some other tips is giving one of your mons rain dance and a focus sash to shut down the sun for a while. you get the rain dance tm to the left of the poison gym, and the focus sash from beating chuck in the training gym next to the fighting gym.
also if you look at the docs for this game which is in the radical red discord. you can find where the ev training items are, with them you can ev train a pokemon in like 10-15 mins.
your team is also missing a mega, you get acsess to mega lopunny, mega pidgeot, and mega audino before the gym. I've done a mono normal run myself and it's been a blast for me personally.
Amazing video
You could've used Ditto with imposter. Just get to Cinderace and switch to Ditto and BOOM. You've got a Libero/Protean Pokemon at your side. That's how I beat Blaine.
Ditto is quite rare though
@@kurtdustinbajar713 dexnav?
It is believed that when you comment early, you get a heart from Zwiggo.
It did now
This thing even beat Kaizo Emerald! Its the start for grinding time
Don't ever give up yet . Cos' i already beat blaine using only normal type . When im battle blaine , snorlax was very useful that time .
Oh yeah , i beat clair too . But im just cannot beat pokemon league using normal
type
Bruh. This would be the Best Rom hack ever if the Difficulty was Toned Down
no- its suppose to be hard. its suppose to make you think outside the box and come up with new strategies and teams. you cant just go "haha level 100 charizard go brrr"
@@thijs4305 The thing is. Going from Renegade Platinum to this. RP is Hard, Very difficult. But it isnt tryhard. RR is just tiring to play because its just competitive pokemon battling
Literraly could fix this by Having an 'Easy' Mode where all thats different is having normal pokemon rules and Maybe toning IVs down
@@zambiekiller360 yeah but the *whole* point of this rom is to make it hard. If you take that away, you can just play another cookie cutter FRLG rom hack
@@thijs4305 Not at All. Your really Underating the Features the Creator added
i agree it’s hard, but i don’t understand the emerald kaizo comparison. on EK i found myself going back to the pokemon center after EVERY trainer battle on a route. in RR it’s mainly just the boss battles that have kaizo tier difficulty
16th we chillin
yaaaaay you finally played radical red!
I'm not much into competetive Pokémon either, but I appreciated having the additional challenge in a regular Pokémon game and played this. Did a monotype team as well, because I'm stupid (mono ice, btw). I think EV training is basically obligatory if you want to beat it.
I actually managed to get through Blaine even with my mono ice team. I quit in the elite four though.
(Slush Rush Bolt Beak Arctozolt carried me through sooo many fights. I love that adorable mistake of creation)
When i see the notification i immidietly click it
There's something strangely liberating seeing someone with minimal competitive experience get punted in a rom hack designed with competitive play in mind.
I've never really seen the point of super competitive 'difficult' Romhacks. It's not even that it's like... 'Git gud Dark Souls' difficult either since no amount of skill lets you beat a statistically superior enemy team without a huge amount of RNG involved. You've got to instead get the perfect pokemon, with perfect IVs, perfect EVs and a perfect nature or don't even bother playing this game.
That just doesn't sound fun to me.
Personally, I just want a game that's harder than standard Pokemon, but doesn't go crazy about it.
@@Syenthros keep in mind that most of his pokemon were normal or flying which makes the challenging game just impossible or stupidly hard.
My point is putting a challenge on something already hard wasn't smart.
@@Nitosa Oh yeah, I totally agree with you. I was just talking in general rather than specifically about this challenge.
Very bad idea in this game lol
@@Syenthros That is understandable. Many people dont enjoy competitve, and that is something I can totally respect and get behind.However, this game, with all the Quality of Life changes (which Zwiggo doesn't even mention) and how the game is actually fair, I'd say it's one of the best this year.
Also, about not being like dark souls, it is EXACTLY like dark souls. No BS like u cant have EVs on ur mons like Kaizo, this game gives you all the tools to get competitive mons. It literally asks you to get good. It's called a "difficulty romhack" for a reason.
I recommend you check out Mr. Ding Dong games' videos on Radical red.He covers most features in this game better than Zwiggo did.
ruclips.net/video/pCufyVoDtnM/видео.html&ab_channel=MrDingDongGames is the video if you want a link
@@foat765 Now this.
This is an idea I can get behind. Drayano hacks and Prismatic Moon get close to that, but I'd like that level of complexity and challenge in a mainline game, not relegated to unofficial hacks of their games.
Damn, does this Rom-Hack seem fun to me. Not only i'm a little bit tired of the normal difficulty rom-hacks usually have, but the part of "this hack looks like competitive Pokemon" makes me want to try it out. Like, i'm not a competitive player, but having battles locked to Set, not being able to use items, and making Pokemon Abilities and non-damaging moves more useful (along with having to fight against actually well-thought teams) seem lots of fun to me
I am playing through radical red right now, and I picked squirtle as well. I agree that the first part that was extremely difficult was Erika.
Hey guys I’m currently playing on the newest version. I’m currently on the Rock Tunnel and so far I’ve enjoyed the game and I recently been watching some run throughs of this because I enjoyed watching them. I encountered a problem because when I entered the Rock Tunnel my game freezes every time which stops me from moving. Please provide any assistance or tips that may help me from solving my problem. Thank you!
It is a part of the story u need get surf from prof oak and clear the power plant of team rocket and then it will be unlocked. It is meant to be an electric gate there but some assets got messed up with the recent patch and it fucks ur game up. I suggest not bothering with the tunnel till u complete oaks challenge and unlock surf
Where do I meet professor oak and where is the powerplant?
@@Flaurose When I went back to Professor Oak he just rated my pokedex
Please give me the directions. I’m really confused...
I was fucking with ya that is just a glitch lol
Is the download link in the description safe?
Edit: Nevermind, I downloaded the rom and scanned my tablet, it's safe
I’m on my second attempt currently. 1st attempt I did it with the pokemon randomiser ON which was fun until giovanni at silph co. I could not beat him no matter what, plus I could catch who I wanted because everything was random so ability’s were all over the place. I am now on attempt no2 doing it without any randomiser and upto lavender town (onward to 4th badge). I’m not into competitive playing but I also wanna challenge myself to this because it is so tough. If you’ve never tried, you’ll never understand. Truly one of the best rom hacks out there.
Zwiggo, expanding force does double damage if in the psychic terrain so that is why it does so much damage
