I figured out why Lysandre never Mega-evolved his Gyarados. Gyarados at level 100 knows Rain Dance, Hydro Pump, Dragon Dance, and Hyper Beam, aka nothing that can hit Shedinja. When a Pokémon cannot hit the opposing Pokémon in any way, the trainer decides that there’s no point in Mega-evolving, and thus doesn’t do it. That’s also why Diantha never Mega-evolved her Gardevoir: it couldn’t hit Shedinja, so why bother?
The mod actually stopped adversaries from mega-evolving somehow. Because AI in this game always mega-evolves turn 1 regardless of strategy, and Ant did not face a single mega-evolved pokémon
Wait… If rock is super effective against bug… and the second gym was a rock gym…. Did the second gym seriously have a rock type team with no rock moves?
@@spoipy the mod levels up the pokemons to 100 and they automatically learn moves by levelling, this causes every pokémon in the game to have as moveset the last four moves they would learn if they were levelled to 100, amaura for example learns hyper beam, ice beam, light screen and haze (I think this is how it's called in English), this being the last moves it can learn by level up and, same as tyrunt, none is rock type

I thought it was more hilarious than epic considering he followed that by essentially saying "the opponent cannot do anything despite still having 3 pokemons"
I thought this challenge was going to be difficult as hell but still possible since you can grind up your Pokemon, but then I read the "No Fighting Wild Pokemon" rule and realized you aren't just dipping your toes in the river Styx, you're straight up walking into Hades office.
"RadicalShado grew to level 100. Finally, a fair fight..." Holy crap, that line and delivery was so badass. Especially after everything that you had to go through to get to that point.
To outspeed that hourdoor, level 27 Ivysaur needs a positive nature, 28+ IVs and at least 152 speed evs vs a negative nature, 0 IV, 0 EV paralyzed. Even then it's still a tie
As much as Radical was the MVP this run, can we at least give some props to AtSign for their performance at 34:22? They didn't only crit, but they also fought past their confusion flawlessly AND withstood a _120_ power move without any form of sturdy, nor a defense buff.
Inferno is Special move, and Calm Mind raises Special Defense (AtSign outsped), and it resisted Inferno so it was only 60 BP. Of course it was gonna live. As for the sweep that happened after? Yeah AtSign was god tier.
Ant's run with Valerie is actually suprising to me cause I had a shedinja one time that the opponent team could not hit so they just switched every turn until I just absolutely swept.
It's amusing how Ant is simultaneously a genius at coming up with innovative strats for these challenges yet consistently forgets to think ahead and prepare items, like the lack of PP restoring items.
@@Joker-fq6yx You can grow Leppa berries in the fields before gym 2. if he started every stream by going back and cultivating more, he would have had plenty.
I like the irony that the description says "You get over-levelled so fast" when SmallAnt was expecting to get to level 50 from one battle, and only got to level 12.
I'm glad you set the "no fighting wild pokemon" rule, as that would just allow you to grind to get a strong as trainers' pokemon which would defeat the purpose of the challenge.
@@alexread6767 he probably took that into account while deciding the game or it’s just because he’s done the first 5 gens lol but he prolly waited till this gen to do this challenge
@@frostfrost8907 or not because the modern EXP share gives every Pokémon who showed up in the battle 100% of the XP while those who didn't gets 50%, while it's counted individually for each Pokémon rather than it being 1 large XP that gets divided into 6 so the XP is the same regardless.
@@V-Jes doesn’t matter either way. As said above, Gen 6 is a little weird in that it doesn’t take levels into account when giving EXP. if you defeat a level 100 at level 1 or a level 1 at level 100, there’s not going to be an overwhelming difference like you’d expect.
My favourite bit of this video is the editing at 6:17 - you can see the resets and time spend DRASTICALLY shift, showing just how difficult the one battle was
It seems to me that x and y are more focused on the adventure and companionship which could be true since there is a lot of dialog cut out for the world wide release they went for just wish if we get a x an y re-release they add the missing content they intended to do.
It’s funny because it sounds like something a kid would say: "I could beat you even if all your Pokémon were level 100!” And the mad lad actually did it 😅
(iirc you can't abiltiy swap with sedinja) or hail, sandstorm, gust shedinja to undo the ability swap,abilities that ignore abilities and neutralizing gas, rocky helmet,hit inself into confusion,etc..
@@DerickIsCringe you can't swap Wonder Guard. But you can entrain any ability onto shedinja. (Or entrain Wonder Guard on others, but that requires a pokebanked Shedinja with Mimic to copy entrain from it's partner)
I really like the Kalos region and the Pokémon variety. But these are things we didn’t notice until now, since everyone who played these game sped through them easily with a completely overleveled team.
30:31 loved the little cue to Mystery Dungeon Explorers music. Reminds me of Dialga's temple where it was either calm him down or you had to reset and start all over
@@rushalias8511 The comment is poking fun at smallant because smallant said "a little luck" when he had a 1/5th chance each time he used quick claw destiny bond for it to work. i said "little" as sarcasm, cuz it was alot of luck
Hi, a Pokemon Hack Creator here. The Reason Lysander didn't Mega: The AI doesnt consider Abilitys but Weaknesses first. M-Gyarados is weak to Bug but Normal Gyarados not. It knew with its current Moves it couldn't beat Radical but the Mega Ability is the turn after it megas. So the AI thought it could be beaten before beating Radical and locked itself to a boosting move. If you would have had any other Pokemon out he would have went Mega
It IS possible to change that specific scenario but its very complicated in the code. The Mega Users have a priority on Mega after considering the Weakness and Ability Problem. Making the Ability from the Mega Turn 1 would crash the Game so it doesn't work. Adding the Priority on Damaging Moves to let it mega for STAB on Dark Moves would turn it to ALL Mega Users but forbids you on using Status Moves on your Mega until you Mega. Because Gyarados doesn't have a Damaging Move we need to add another command in the code: The latest STAB shall stand. That let's it become Mega and go for an effective move, after that he attacks with Mold Breaker active. And for that we prioritize the Mega Types as original Types so it keeps Crunch.
I thought they figured out in the stream that when the modder changed all the pokemon to level 100, they lost the items they were holding, so gyarodos wasn't holding the mega stone. Same with gardovoir in the champion battle. I'm pretty sure they are scripted to always mega evolve in those battles normally.
Unbelievable. I've been playing Pokemon since day one and I don't think I could manage to pull this off in a million years as I just lack the patience for such a thing.
That's why TMS in previous gens are one time use. This is fixed in gen 8 when you only get a small amount of infinite TMS and the actually good moved are TRs
This playthrough is absolutely brilliant in a way that I've never seen before. I'm genuinely in awe at some of the strategy and thinking required for this
Whenever I hear ant say "I then just force fed radical for the remaining turns" I just imagine ant shoving a bunch of oran berries into radical a whole bunch
cause x and y doesn't resonate as much as gen 4 right now, perhaps in a few more years when those who played it growing up will be the ones making content
This is such a crazy challenge. Definitely difficult earlier on, but with all the great EXP, there is fast level up. Trainers’ pokemons only know the last four moves they learn which is like 50/50 good bad. Plus their bad AI with luck.
i don’t think he realizes that the first guy he sees on the route after beating the gym leader in shalour city would give you a lapras that knows perish song if you talked to him, lol
@@johnjohnson1351 Lapras will just die with each move taken so you'll have to rely on quick claw, which is used by Wobbuffet, just to launch a perish song, die in the process and see the enemy switch out his pokemon after 2 turns :p .
I don’t know how hard this would be to code, but could we see a Pokémon play through where enemies have an “anti wonder guard”? Where you can only use not very effective moves vs trainers?
There is actuakky a fight in x and y thats exactly that. The whole type charting got reversed in that fight so everything super effektive couldnt hit and vice versa
@@TheJayRipper that's not really the same. That's just "super effective" and "not very effective" typing switching. What they are saying is just to make it so you can only hit things with "not very effective" moves. And then normal effective and super effective couldn't hit the opponent.
This was honestly impressive. In pokemon, especially the more modern games, you either end up over levelled to the point where it doesn't matter what you're facing or you are even levelled with a super effective more that oneshots anyway. Stragey beyond types isn't something you really need in casual playthroughs anymore. Sure this isn't a casual playthrough but it was still impressive to see you have to use your brain and learn from your mistakes and past experiences to make it through. Also damn Shedinja is OP AF, Wonderguard on a reasonably fast, reasonably strong and reasonably well types pokemon is insane.
@@Meepoli I never knew Shedinja was slow. I never used it since while it's cool and pretty useful, it's not a pokemon I actually like all that much, I don't dislike it, it's just not one I think I would ever use. Also since most of the times I've seen people use it, it's ended up hella overleveled compared to everything that it's faster just because of how many levels higher then it's opponent it is so it comes across as being fast when it might not actually be.
Wait, will-o-wisp is in a swamp That actually makes sense, since many legends about will-o'-the-wisps can be traced to a certain soil in the ground that make blue flames when alight. Look it up, I'm not the best source of info
What I like about this challenge is that it never gets easier. As he levels up, the opponents Pokémon evolve to their final forms, maintaining the leveling as well.
The time, effort, and dedication to this challenge just stupidly amazes me how you managed to beat the game this way. My first video I watched of you was the one where you could only catch shiny Pokémon. This one is my second. Immediately subbed to your channel. Thanks for the awesome things you do for the viewers.

I thought this challenge was going to be difficult as hell but still possible since you can grind up your Pokemon, but then I read the "No Fighting Wild Pokemon" rule and realized you aren't just dipping your toes in the river Styx, you're straight up walking into Hades office.
or just straight belly flopping into Tartarus
You're straight up getting slapped so hard that you look like Jar Jar Binks and then fall into the deepest pits of hell.
its more like trying to give Ares a hug. Or trying to fight Ares. Or looking at Ares the wrong way.

"RadicalShado grew to level 100. Finally, a fair fight..."

Ant's run with Valerie is actually suprising to me cause I had a shedinja one time that the opponent team could not hit so they just switched every turn until I just absolutely swept.
It's amusing how Ant is simultaneously a genius at coming up with innovative strats for these challenges yet consistently forgets to think ahead and prepare items, like the lack of PP restoring items.

I like the irony that the description says "You get over-levelled so fast" when SmallAnt was expecting to get to level 50 from one battle, and only got to level 12.
He’s talking about normal Pokémon X/Y he literally said that
yoooooooo your pfp is amazing and makes me want a PMD: Sky remaster even more
I'm glad you set the "no fighting wild pokemon" rule, as that would just allow you to grind to get a strong as trainers' pokemon which would defeat the purpose of the challenge.
I do believe it would have been better if the rule was "No grinding" as that Dugtrio showed.
The thing that amazes me the most is how little exp you really get for beating level 100 pokémon.
Gen 6 is the only game after gen 5 to drop the level scaling exp system. If this were BW or SM, it would be much more exp.
@@alexread6767 he probably took that into account while deciding the game or it’s just because he’s done the first 5 gens lol but he prolly waited till this gen to do this challenge
He was using exp share too, so... It may have been way more than what he showed, but divided among 6 Pokémon.
@@frostfrost8907 or not because the modern EXP share gives every Pokémon who showed up in the battle 100% of the XP while those who didn't gets 50%, while it's counted individually for each Pokémon rather than it being 1 large XP that gets divided into 6 so the XP is the same regardless.
@@V-Jes doesn’t matter either way. As said above, Gen 6 is a little weird in that it doesn’t take levels into account when giving EXP. if you defeat a level 100 at level 1 or a level 1 at level 100, there’s not going to be an overwhelming difference like you’d expect.
My favourite bit of this video is the editing at 6:17 - you can see the resets and time spend DRASTICALLY shift, showing just how difficult the one battle was
17 resets to 73 - 56. He ended the run with 104. He had more resets at that one fucking Combee than the rest of the entire run.
This challenge: You get one-shot by everything
Shedinja: It's like... I was made for this...
It seems to me that x and y are more focused on the adventure and companionship which could be true since there is a lot of dialog cut out for the world wide release they went for just wish if we get a x an y re-release they add the missing content they intended to do.
It’s funny because it sounds like something a kid would say: "I could beat you even if all your Pokémon were level 100!” And the mad lad actually did it 😅

The odds were 80% against him, how tf-
Hi, a Pokemon Hack Creator here. The Reason Lysander didn't Mega:
The AI doesnt consider Abilitys but Weaknesses first. M-Gyarados is weak to Bug but Normal Gyarados not. It knew with its current Moves it couldn't beat Radical but the Mega Ability is the turn after it megas.
So the AI thought it could be beaten before beating Radical and locked itself to a boosting move. If you would have had any other Pokemon out he would have went Mega
It IS possible to change that specific scenario but its very complicated in the code. The Mega Users have a priority on Mega after considering the Weakness and Ability Problem. Making the Ability from the Mega Turn 1 would crash the Game so it doesn't work. Adding the Priority on Damaging Moves to let it mega for STAB on Dark Moves would turn it to ALL Mega Users but forbids you on using Status Moves on your Mega until you Mega. Because Gyarados doesn't have a Damaging Move we need to add another command in the code: The latest STAB shall stand. That let's it become Mega and go for an effective move, after that he attacks with Mold Breaker active. And for that we prioritize the Mega Types as original Types so it keeps Crunch.
...that's a massive ai bug..
I'd imagine sword and shield never fixed this?
@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32 Haven't tried moding SwSh yet so don't know.
@@siddhantsingh1316 It means that if you change the way the AI thinks, the AI will do different things.
I thought they figured out in the stream that when the modder changed all the pokemon to level 100, they lost the items they were holding, so gyarodos wasn't holding the mega stone. Same with gardovoir in the champion battle. I'm pretty sure they are scripted to always mega evolve in those battles normally.
Unbelievable. I've been playing Pokemon since day one and I don't think I could manage to pull this off in a million years as I just lack the patience for such a thing.
You're also not getting paid to do it.

cause x and y doesn't resonate as much as gen 4 right now, perhaps in a few more years when those who played it growing up will be the ones making content
This is such a crazy challenge. Definitely difficult earlier on, but with all the great EXP, there is fast level up. Trainers’ pokemons only know the last four moves they learn which is like 50/50 good bad. Plus their bad AI with luck.

@@souhailbelhay6867 This is, of course, assuming the enemy has something to switch into.
I don’t know how hard this would be to code, but could we see a Pokémon play through where enemies have an “anti wonder guard”? Where you can only use not very effective moves vs trainers?
You could givr give everyone pokemon Wonder Guard and program all battles to be inverse battles
@@TCStink3 that would work, but I think the point would be to only be able to use moves that aren't very strong to hit.
There is actuakky a fight in x and y thats exactly that. The whole type charting got reversed in that fight so everything super effektive couldnt hit and vice versa
@@TheJayRipper that's not really the same. That's just "super effective" and "not very effective" typing switching. What they are saying is just to make it so you can only hit things with "not very effective" moves. And then normal effective and super effective couldn't hit the opponent.

This was honestly impressive. In pokemon, especially the more modern games, you either end up over levelled to the point where it doesn't matter what you're facing or you are even levelled with a super effective more that oneshots anyway. Stragey beyond types isn't something you really need in casual playthroughs anymore. Sure this isn't a casual playthrough but it was still impressive to see you have to use your brain and learn from your mistakes and past experiences to make it through.
Also damn Shedinja is OP AF, Wonderguard on a reasonably fast, reasonably strong and reasonably well types pokemon is insane.
Shedinja is actually VERY slow, but yeah still incredibly useful/unbeatable against certain teams
@@Meepoli I never knew Shedinja was slow. I never used it since while it's cool and pretty useful, it's not a pokemon I actually like all that much, I don't dislike it, it's just not one I think I would ever use.
Also since most of the times I've seen people use it, it's ended up hella overleveled compared to everything that it's faster just because of how many levels higher then it's opponent it is so it comes across as being fast when it might not actually be.
The image of ant forcefully stuffing his pokemon with berries whilst the enemies die of toxic poison in the background, is hilarious
I'm a fan of how the correct starter choices for this run are both the starters I picked when I first played Y when I was, like, 8.
The amount of rock and dark types that can't hit Shedinja with these movesets is hilarious
Hearing about someone playing X and Y a lot growing up makes me feel old.
Yeah I played on the Nintendo 64 growing up
Lmao I was 7 years old when the game was released
It sounds weird to me even though *I* played x and y growing up, this game has a weird quality to it
My thoughts exactly 😂😂 I played Red and Silver growing up
Same, I grew up watching people play on the Gameboy Color and GBA.
Wait, will-o-wisp is in a swamp
That actually makes sense, since many legends about will-o'-the-wisps can be traced to a certain soil in the ground that make blue flames when alight.
Look it up, I'm not the best source of info
Yes
In DnD, Will o Wisps also originate in swamps, from the thick mist specifically
Same with toxic being in a swamp, as the stagnant water there is very unhealthy.
now i wanna see how easy the game is when you play it normally
