Thank god that Phanpy can learn mud-slap from the TM Falkner gives you, otherwise you would have to grind to level 33 so that it can hit Mortys ghost pokemon with roll-out!
The TM for Rollout is just north of Goldenrod, so that would be an option instead of doing the training. Annoying, but thematic, that this little Elephant doesn't get Dig.
Don't forget the Rival's Gastly btw.
yeah you wouldn't reach morty unless you struggle the rival after bugsy for the whole fight
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon Elephants will actually dig for food and water with their trunk, so I say give the elephant Dig!
I'd just like to point out that there is now a comment that praises mudslap and justly so.
Phanpy is such a cute and cool Pokemon design. I actually think it's really neat that Phanpy gets Water Gun through breeding when Donphan breeds with a male Quagsire. Quagsire can also give Phanpy Ancientpower and Body Slam through breeding.
Also I believe Sage Li's name in the manga translates to Elder Li which is a play on the word elderly.
I'm pretty sure that's also true in HGSS - the "Elder Li" part.
As for Water Gun Phanpy...why'd they remove that? Sure, Ice Shard is way more useful, but it's not as fun or 'logical' as Water Gun.
@@PokeMaster22222 I know Water Gun and maybe Hydro Cannon should be given to Donphan that would have been cool even though they are special moves it would just be canon with their design.
Elder is literally a word, not a name or wordplay. Elderly is derived from it.
Some of the random moves Pokémon use through breeding is wild
@Tziouv they mean the name elder li is a play on the world elderly which means old people.
Since scarlet and violet came out, donphan has grown to become my favourite pokemon. Great tusk and iron treads are also awesome, but they've really made me appreciate just how cool the base form is.
I've always liked Phanpy and Donphan but never really got the chance to use one in a playthrough. Doesn't help that in the first few gens its either late-game or gets no good STAB options until very late.
That being said its nice they've given it and its counterpart of Ursaring some attention. Funny enough Ursaring also became a Ground-type when it gained its evolution in Ursaluna. Guess it comes full circle?
Who is Iron Threads? I've only heard about the former, who is clearly awesome, my favourite paradox and basically a Mega Donphan, both in design and gameplay.
@@charizard7666 In all seriousness, Iron threads is just so forgettable compared to Great tusk, both in design and competitive (You might have seen some great tusk on action, but there were only 4 Iron threads in a 780 VGC tournament compared to 131 Great tusk)
I think Karen's Gengar is destined to use Lick, it has 69 Attack after all.
Nice

I love Phany & Donphan. I really wish they were more accessible earlier in the game.
Play Crystal! It's available early :D
@Scott's Thoughts will do! Thanks Scott!
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon only problem: there is no Mareep in crystal, which pisses me off and why I don't play crystal lol
@@adventureoflinkmk2 Ditto. Amphoros is such a fixture on my Johto teams that I can't play Crystal anymore.
@@leahbeth8335 iktr.. was gonna say I was just discussing Pokémon favourites and teams with my fianceé the other day and I made two points:
Mareep is part of my goat team but isn't available in crystal which is bullshit
And in gen3, MUDKIPZ. ALWAYS MUDKIPZ
Funnily enough, when Phanpy evolves into Donphan his HP doesn't change *at all* - they both have 90 base HP.
I've always found that quite bizarre.
Some mons lose stats upon evolution i think floette into florges loses sp attk
Keeping hp stat is kinda cool
@@brendanhart517 The one I remember the most is Torracat into Incineroar - it loses like 30 points in Speed, for some dumb reason.
@@PokeMaster22222 Trapinch has the same Attack stat as Flygon, too.
Yeah, Octillery is another weird one for level up. Lanturn too.
Iron Treads has the same HP as Phanpy and Donphan.
Great Tusk has a good deal more HP than those 3.
Early on tackle is doing just marginally more damage than mudslap (it really is only a slight difference)
But mudslap also has the accuracy lowering effect which more than makes up for the slight loss in damage in my opinion.
That being said, mudslap does have PP problems if you use it too often..
I think you should've gone into the Bugsy fight pre-damaged (maybe around 40% HP), such that you can setup on and live the Metapod/Kakuna attacks and have high-powered Flails for Scyther's first two Fury Cutters
38:50 Phampy out here ejecting sus Team Rocket from Electrode electrical with its tiny amongus feet. What a good crewmate.
Thanks for the upload! Cool to see some of the Twitch stream for one side of your production cycle, then RUclips for the final part!
Scott: Phany is one of the cutest Pokémon
Scott’s Fans: That’s why theyre perfect for you
Listening while im working when you do your runs is always entertaining keep it up scott
Lance's intro gave me omega chills man. No words, just your sick graphic and that music. Timeless.
Been watching your stuff since the beginning, kudos on your success and your content is great! Keep up the great job, that 100k is coming up soon!
I always know it’s gunna be a good day when I get that notification about a new video. Thanks Scott!
I haven't used a Phanpy in years! I ended up evolving it into a Donphan later on and used it up until the Red battle where I stumbled upon a Larvitar and power-leveled it up to 51 so it could learn Earthquake (I previously taught that to Donphan in Victory Road) and then leveled it up again until it became a Tyranitar.
Fun fact: Chuggaaconroy caught a Phanpy in his playthrough of Pokémon Crystal many moons ago.
And our boy Chuggaa's reaction was nothing short of precious. "OH MY GOD I FOUND A PHAN-PYYYYY
@@MadameTeqi And then the first one fled. ;~;
Chugga: *WHAT?!*
Phanpy was my first shiny Pokémon (excluding Red Gyarados). So happy to see this play through.
Phanpy is one of my favorite Gen 2 mons. Great job getting a good time out of it! Can’t wait for Donphan, Teddiursa, and Ursaring!
This video gives me so many good memories. My first time playing Crystal I had a Phanpy. I went to route 46 to catch a Jigglypuff, like I did in Silver, and there it was, a cute little baby elephant. The first one fled, and I didn't even know a non-legendary beast could do that at the time. So I bought more pokéballs, went back there and walked around that grass until I was able to catch one.
He is so good for early game, as you said, good HP, attack and defense, evolves at level 25, Donphan learns Earthquake considerably early. Top tier mon for a Crystal run, no doubt.
My favorite pokemon to catch right away after picking my starter. I'm glad you can locate it in the early stages in crystal despite how annoying it was encountering geodudes and spearows. I'm happy you did a Speedrun with phanpy. It's an amazing pokemon
Love our little bluey elephant💙
He’s gonna Crush the enemies ❤
*Roll on
Waking up at 4am due to work... luckily you uploaded so i can watch(listen) as i go to work..
Man blows me away how much u grew over the last two years, I started watching u a little after u started and loved all ur vids,u are my fav pokemon solo run youtuber, I recorded my solo run with pokemon outlaw with Mewtwo but still working on my first rom hack playthrough tho,it is a lot of work with full-time job and family haha haha, keep up the good work bud and looking forward to our new vids
Yeah the last two years have been a roller coaster of learning. Strangely, it feels like it’s accelerating. It just takes longer for new things to be implemented now that I’m juggling 4 games.
I never have trouble training a phanpy or a donphan, so I think you're gonna do a good job with it. This is one I'm really looking forward to
Good run. I've always wondered if that cute little guy was any good. Can't wait to see the evolution.
So animals with hooves are called ungulates, which means that they walk on sort of a modified nail. Elephants are part of a group called sub-ungulates -- their feet are just that -- feet, and they walk on their tip-toes, so even though it's close to the modified nail, it's not actually on it. They also have a fat sac under their heels to make the impact of walking on their tip-toes less.
tl;dr, Phanpy has feet.
One thing I think might have made the Bugsy fight easier - though also even less consistent - set up less defense curls. Scyther's fury cutter would do more damage and you might get better flail ranges earlier on in the fight. Plus, a reset would be less costly time-wise as the battles would be shorter.
The change to the rankings is nice. seeing it ranked in time windows makes so much sense.
Swapping to flail against Scyther. OP move Scotty. Nice play.
How could you cut away when Lance had something important to tell you? Perhaps he was about to admit he's actually a flying type trainer
Edit: just as the first Jasmine fight, I wonder if a PP restoring berry would have helped
Til there is a PP restoring Berry in Gen 2; the Mystery Berry. You can get one in one of the secret Ruins of Alph areas.
@@TheMoogleKing93 - You can also get one from the tree on Route 35. Albeit you need surf in order to reach it.
@@thesacredlobo ah thats probably the easier one to grab then
One of the most dominating late game performances I've seen in your vids. Especially against Red!
Yup. It was very surprising!
Finally!!!!! I've been looking forward to this one for so long!
I really like Phanpy. Pokemon Crystal was my first pokemon game so the Johto Region has a special place in my heart. Seeing Johto Pokemon get love always makes me happy. Please keep up the good work on videos and thanks for the great content.
You’re welcome! I will keep the work up!
These videos have given me the inspiration to finally work on my first actual coding project: a rom hack of pokemon crystal by modifying the decompiled code. A number of the frustrations you encounter these vids have been giving me ideas for things to try to change, most notably learnset/typing disparities. I mean, Phanpy/Donphan are pure ground-types with a fairly standard normal-type level-up and TM/HM learnset.
Please remove the type-badge-boosts. Those make the game so unfair for Pokemon of certain types (like the Ground and Dark type).
It also makes the game so much easier because the context is the Johto level curve.
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon I'm absolutely going to remove those. Among other things, I'm also going to change the level curve to end with red at lv 100 (sadly rendering single mon challenges nearly impossible), fix some design flaws/choices, rebalance all mons to be useable, and adding the physical/special split. the hardest specific goal I have is trying to nerf Return, though I'm not fluent enough in the assembly programming language to understand what to change yet.
Man I love this little guy definitely one of top 10 pokemon on OC rooster
Hi Scott! Thanks for another great video! I have a suggestion: Could you maybe add the levels of the opposing trainer's Pokemon in the overlay? You've done an amazing job on that overlay in general, BTW! So much attention to detail - love it! :)
It was that way originally. I dunno if I’ll add it again, I’ve been toying around with it. Preventing clutter is very important at this stage.
I am glad you are doing this video for phanpy and donphan are in my top 5 favorite johto Pokémon and hoping to see donphan vs ursaring video and a speed run of donphan
"I've got a plan so cunnung, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel!" -Blackadder
As someone who adores elephants, I adore Phanpy with all my heart. I just want to kiss his snout, so so SO cute.
That run was reminding me about me as a kid trying to catch a Phanpy in route 46, because I wanted to complete the pokedex in crystal. 😁Lately I had one in a nuzlocke and it was really good, and that run has shown me, that I wasn't just lucky to have one, Phanpy is just a really good pokemon, especially with hidden power. 😄As first stage pokemon, even though its speed could have been problematic, it was doing a fantastic job in this run,and all thanks to you. Well done.👏👏👏
The second playthrough was really showing that you were studying from your past mistakes in the first one, even though Karen was causing you a somewhat usual reset, but I think that if only Phanpy could have learn dig, you could change the type of hidden power to fighting, so that Karen could been trivia, and avoiding losing because sand attack. That kind a reset can be really annoying sometimes.
But overall that was well played, and I had a great time, so thanks for that. 😄
The main problem is that Hidden Power Fighting's DV drop is worse than Hidden Power Fire's DV drop. You have 3 DV in HP and 12 Atk and Def DVs for HP Fighting.
@@shadowtitanx3962 yeah that's things that you'll need to take into consideration whenever you're hidden power. 🤔And yeah that could hurt that peak performance of any pokemon with these kinds of dvs. So I could get why it wouldn't be useful as much.
Hey Scott :)
To feed the algorythm I did some calculations:
Hidden Power fire would be a guaranteed 2HKO (with the same stats your Phanpy had)
while
HP ground would only be around 98% to 2HKO (even with Soft Sand).
Phanpy is cute and I appreciate your work :)
Keep it up man
Granted hidden power Fire is so much less useful in a playthrough, especially with a Pokémon with less special attack.
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon Absolutely agree on that. I just wanted to write something kinda interresting ._.
Maybe this will come in handy someday, especially if the atk/sp atk stats aren't that far off each other
(as a sidenote, long ago I ran an Adamant Donphan with HP Ice to 1HKO Gliscor)
Phanpy is my first shiny in pokemon go love this. way to go scott!!!!!!!
You could potentially save time on gaining an even better swimmer since poliwhirl spawns at night before violet city.
(And it learns all 3 swimming hms)
Alternativley you could go for rocksmash in olivine city on the shore on the rocks instead
(Since krabby has also a high chance spawning there)
And bellsprout does also learn rocksmash if im not mistaken.
18:59 that selfburn though🤏
To be honest, while idk if you would want to do it, I personally think it’s reasonable to pause the timer while you get HM Pokémon. While I haven’t posted anything, I’ve recorded a few Gen 3 challenges and before I enter the forest I pause the timer, go back, catch every HM Pokémon needed for the rest of the game, walk back to point I was at then start the timer again.
I also pause the timer when boxing hm Pokémon for gyms, as I think cause HM Pokémon are mandatory and in every run they shouldn’t really count towards time, especially since they made a few seconds of variance depending on whether or not you actually get the one you need in random encounters. So with the Psyduck you could pause the time just to get the optimal HM poke,on for your runs without worrying about how they impact game time.
Probably not. This is way more complicated than it sounds. And for other generations it isn’t fair. I want to avoid generation specific rules if possible.
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemonRuns between generations aren't really comparable, so it doesn't really matter if one has exceptions and the other doesn't. The results are going to be completely different no matter what.
Overlay question, have you considered adding an evasion/accuracy stat so you can show when you've been hit by sand attack or use double team? I know that's probably alot of work, but I was just curious if you thought about doing that or something similar.
It isn’t a lot of work. It was originally a third column besides power and pp. showing each move’s dynamic accuracy.
I removed it intentionally to prevent bloating, get larger text for viewers on mobile, and to avoid clutter.
I’ve got a demo working with reflect, weather, light screen, safeguard, evasion, and accuracy. They just pop up when they are relevant and then disappear when no longer needed. It needs a lot of work with styling though until the aesthetics are good enough for me to implement it. Will probably show up in May~
I worked at a Zoo for a year doing their I.T. work.
I can confirm that Elephants have hooves. They just are distributed a bit differently compared to Horses, Zeebras, etc due to their immense weight.
Ah Phanpy. I have some old Pokemon cards here, including a well preserved eCard Phanpy ^^
I love Phanpy and Donphan, they’re such good designs. Phanpy gets the same reaction out of me as my dogs, that being I can’t stop smiling when I look at it bc it’s so cute. And Donphan is just a Pokémon I’ve always thought looks really cool, and it’s good in battle too.
Also as a note: Phanpy is really annoying to catch in Crystal even though it is early on because it’s one of those annoying Pokémon that can flee. And it’s not one of the 3 flee mons that the Fast Ball works on.
With the removal of hidden power do you set your DVs to perfect for the 1st playthrough? Or do you try to keep them the same as playthrough 2 for consistency reasons?
Perfect for first run, the optimal hp. The loss of DVs isn’t as much a hit to damage that most people think it will be. Plus, I have the software to compare the two scenarios. It’s almost always (I have yet to find a case) the case that type coverage is more important than the loss of 1-3 DV points in attack and/or defense.
Hey Scott, great vid as always!
Do you ever feel nostalgic nowadays whenever you play the first two gen games thinking about when you first played them and if so what is your most memorable memory from back then?
Sometimes. However, for me the games feel very fresh and alive. I have a playthrough metagame in my brain and I'm constantly trying to improve my default routing. Sometimes I add small updates, other times I figure out biggest sections of the game. It's really fun to refine.
I love phanpy and donphan, looks interesting in the gen 9 games with new forms (i need to see) never actually used one and had no idea you could get one early in crystal but i never really play in the morning time (unless I can’t sleep) but that’s cool.
Also crystal is the only game that you can breed water gun onto Phanpy, totally useless but still kinda cool i think
Also i just thought of damage rounding thresholds acronym as DRT or just Dr T
That Lance fight was crisp!
Guys, we need to talk about the elephant in the room.
Phanpy. Phanpy is cute.
I have just realized that i've been mispronouncing Phanpy as Phanphy for the past couple of decades.
Oops!
I think this is the case for a lot of people
Hey Scott! Bit of a niche issue, but would it be possible to have the overlay show flail's damage dynamically?
Thank you for these, I'll finish the video now ;)
Yeah I already have that in Gen3. Forgot to port it over. Thanks for the reminder.
My brain is so rotted that I thought you were going to name your family dummy thicc 1:34
I'm sorry, but imma stan my boys shaymin and pachirisu here.
Never really used this Pokemon, always seemed like a bad Sandslash and terrible Gen 2 learnset, like did you really want to waste your earthquake TM on this thing? But looking at Donphans stats, really much better than expected, better than Sandslash in almost every way. More strangely though, its HP value stays the same upon evolution, not sure Ive seen many Pokemon like that (At least through Gen 4). I don't think HP ever worsens on evolution, minus Shedinja, it almost always increases. Anyways, thanks as always for the excellent content and keeping the nostalgia alive!
I feel like with the pokemon that can stomp Blue/Red with curse strats, does it make a bigger difference to use the rare candies earlier in the mid game to try and reduce the time taken for training needed for Claire/Elite four?
I should consider that.
Omg I love phanphy so much I caught a Donphan in platinum, bred it, and traded it to soulsilver so I can play with it the tiny elephant is so freakin adorable. Had to come back and add a shout out to Dennis for the exp.
I love the fact that you named the Phanpy Dumbo.
So is it worth trying to code it so that way the rollout power is reflecting the damage increase from defense curl? I know this is a very niche occurrence, but was curious if it was something you thought of doing?
Coding rollout and having it's power display properly has been a nightmare. We have had to make a patch to the rom to actually implement it in a visually satisfying way. In the next video it should work a lot better. It accounts for defense curl, updates when I'm selecting my next move (instead of immediately after Rollout hits) and it resets properly when I miss or Rollout finishes.
Phanpy is adorable! Donphan is cool, but I remember being so confused after seeing it in the first movie! Also, Phanpy is actually a Gold exclusive in the Japanese version, oddly enough. It went back to being a HeartGold exclusive in the remakes, but the US version of Silver made it a Silver exclusive! Weird, huh?
In the original Japanese version of Gold and Silver Phanpy was exclusive to gold while Teddiursa was exclusive Silver. In case people were wondering why Phanpy was in HeartGold and Teddiursa was in SoulSilver.
That's interesting I wonder why they changed it?
@@darkblue62 Maybe Gamefreak thought it would balance out the exclusives better. I believe this is the only time version exclusives were changed internationally.
@@costby1105 makes sense
The sage at the end of bell sprouts tower is named elder Li in Is heart gold and soul silver.
Another great video
Fun Fact: Phanpy can learn Water Gun via breeding in Gen 2 and can be transferred up to Gen 7 with the move via 3DS ports.
Let's hope by gen2 you mean HeartGold SoulSilver because GSC isn't even compatible with gen3
@@adventureoflinkmk2virtual console (on 3ds) gsc is compatible with bank or whatever it's called tho
@@nomis2268 derp I forgot that will soon be a thing
@@nomis2268 oh yeah and it's Pokemon Home now
After gen 2 pokemon went from being types of animals but cooler with some mythical elements added to full on elemental hero style humanoids.
Grass/Poison doesn't resist ground! You kept switching from earthquake to return for these mons when earthquake would been much stronger. Just had to point that out because it was bugging me lol. Great video, Scott.
hello person scrolling by. hope you have a good rest of your day.
also, i feel like this little goober is gonna do at least *okay*? haven’t looked at stats or movepool, but being a physical attacker will help versus Red’s Snorlax, i think - assuming you can deal with Pikachu’s Charm.
Yesssss! This is gonna be a good one 😊
Hey Scott this is a rather specific scenario but, since in pvp matches if one player uses self KO moves or Destiny Bond and both pokemon faint, the other player wins, wouldn't it be fair for you to not reset if Karen does it? If you don't have any revives it's kinda moot but still.
Interesting point. Maybe… still feels like an emotional loss though. I’ll probably keep things the same but maybe mention this if it occurs in the future.
You're actually correct about Morty's AI regarding Curse. The AI for "smart" trainers has various exceptions when it comes to certain moves including recoil, self KO and other status moves. It will favor Curse at full HP, but will discourage it once damage has been taken.
If you want more info on this, I heavily recommend looking into the decompilation project for Crystal. It takes a bit of deciphering and snooping in the game files, but the AI logic is in there and fairly well annotated.
39:35 would a possible alternative be setting up on the Kakuna?
that way, you'd be at lowish health but have maximum defense and higher power for the flail for the Scyther.
then again, the poison chance may make this method inconsistent.
Interesting idea. I don’t think setting up on Kakuna is a good idea though. Just set up differently on metapod.
Really love how Phanpy is one of the pokemon that has a 50% flee chance so you can't really whittle it down early game.
Phanpy is just such a ridiculously adorable little destroyer of worlds.
Yup!
Can't wait to see Shuckle's run when you get around to it.
Next month
I had donphan in my crystal team . Loved this Pokémon like
Hey for your next crystal playthru have the kingdra in claires intro hydropump the Dragonair instead
Phanpy is incredibly cute, agreed! Have you considered doing a Porygon2 + Sharpen playthrough? The idea for this is silly. I've noticed that one of your favorite terms when it comes to easily beating (or being beaten) fights is to 'polish' off the trainer(or yourself). Why not literally polish yourself?
Haha that’s a funny idea. I’ve got plans for Porygon2 this year!
Scott, How do you set your DV/IV's with the universal pokemon randomizer?
I don’t. I use Gamehook for that.
Scott, one recommendation I would to suggest is a simple graphical one. When you're performing your tier list, you have the times listed but only in the first and last tiers do you have "above" or "below." I think it would be more visually appealing if you used > for above, =< for every tier except for the last one, which just gets
Good tip. I assumed people would intuit that “above” applies to all the times until “below” is stated. Your solution is better.
I thought that for some reason tierings were worse in general. That is, a Pokémon with 1:36:00 completion time was in the tier labeled 1:30:00, as in “the time took was greater than 1:30:00”. I wised up to the meaning but it is somehow just confusing enough that if the conditions are right I forget the real meaning of the times.
Donphan name suggestion: 'Stampy', a la Bart's brief yet memorable pet in the Simpsons.
Scott you’re awesome!
That Clefairy's first Metronome cracked me up.
Also something i found in my gold playthrough you know the built in chance for status moves to miss in gen 2?
Mind reader doesn’t bypass this, Chuck used mind reader then hypnosis then missed so that was a nice thing to learn
Yup, that’s happened a bunch in my playthroughs. It’s also so funny to see chick setup and then miss anyways. At least it makes his dynamicpunch always hit.
I'd love to see more gen 2 runs
Will you be adding your new Videos to your Playlist? Gotta watch em all while sleeping ^^
They should be there? I’ll do some playlist maintenance today
Cool run bro
Thanks bro
Is this some patreon premiere that showed in my feed? I dont see it in subscribed tab.
No, its a regular premiere
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon Thank You!
Love this little guy
Against Lance it might make sense to just lead off with Rollout. It looks like it would 2-hit, so you could avoid taking a rain-boosted Surf, and potentially avoid any damage. That would force you to restart rollout against the third Dragonite but I have to imagine that works better than taking a big surf from Gyarados.
It's sooo CUTE I love it too!
Does anyone know if sleep moves always hit pokemon that are recharging from hyper beam? I feel like this is a gen 8 or 9 functionality, but I heard it referenced in a trainer vs. Lance fight against his Dragonite. So idk if it's new or if its always been a thing.
It’s a gen1 glitch. Recharge causes sleep to always hit.
recently discovered that donphan i actually really hard to find for a casual team. it's in the national dex for many games but it's only available in the regional dex in like, silver, crystal, heartgold (hgss switched the regional exclusives from g/s). then it isn't even in any national dex from like, gen 6-8 and finally gets back into the regional dex in gen 9. it got a new special form.
No wonder I’ve never used it
actually, i just checked, it only appears in 3 regional dexes. johto, hoenn & paldea. and in hoenn it's only found in the safari zone.
Elephants have feet! Each foot has five toes, and they're actually able to "hear" through their feet. They have a special nerve that runs along through the feet and gives elephants a similar sensation to how it would feel to have your ear to the ground. It allows them to hear when other animals are nearby and may be used in long distance communication!
That is exceptionally awesome…
Doing one of these challenges for Orre Colosseum in XD Gale would be cool.
An automatic like for Phanpy😍
It is just that good
Would hidden power fire have been useful? For both the grass, and the steel types. If not, I guess hidden power ice is the best default (super effective against meganium and Lance).
Hidden Power Fire's DV drop is very sharp. Especially HP. Also, Rock/Ground/Normal coverage is perfectly fine on Phanpy.
Going for HP fire with a physical attack that has other options just wasn’t the best play imo
Does Crystal have that thing where using Defense Curl doubles the power of Rollout? Because I think Pokemon Stadium 2 at least does have this.
Yes, it does
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon thanks! I wasn't sure if you mentioned it in the video, or if the displays were taking it into account.
