Time another installment of "This Pokemon can learn mud-slap, but Gligar can't! "
Rip Gligar
It can learn Mud-Slap but not Dig which is odd cause its a dog, and isn't digging something dogs like to do?
@@CoffeeFlavoredMilk Idk what's up with that. For some reason there are so many Pokemon in Gen 2 that can't learn dig but should. Like why can't Phanpy and Swinub learn dig?? Makes no sense
@@PokemonWoop Swinub is a baby boar and they dig for nuts and acorns, so that makes sense
I guess the reasoning is that they are a flying animal that lives on the cliffs so being close to mud is not necessarily a thing they would instinctually do?
Or is “Gligar living on the cliffs” a Shadows of Almia thing
So proud of snubbull! I love the second runs, they are always so satisfying. It feels like the end of the Pokémon’s character arc.
Exactly!
Scott, my mans, don't get fooled by the super-effective swindle. Hitting with a STAB Normal type move would've been stronger than the elemental punches most of the time in this run, because Snubbull's Attack is much higher than its Sp.Atk. Not to mention the badge boost to Attack from Falkner and the Normal type boost from Whitney, which are both around for way longer than the Sp.Attack badge boost from Pryce and the Fire/Ice/Electric boosts from Blaine/Pryce/Surge. Anyways, keep up the good work.
Big facts
172(the effective power of return)>160
The crystal runs are quickly becoming my favorite, super excited to watch
Glad to know that you enjoy them so much. They are growing on me too. At first they seemed like they had less depth than gen1 & 3, but I’m starting to learn the little nuances now and it’s becoming so enjoyable!
Your narration, the art, along with the top tier editing. Hard to find quality play throughs like this.
Wow, thanks!
At 5:11, i didnt know this was a teddiursa run. I always loved that little bear so hearing a 2nd vid about him makes me happy lol
Just a small mistake in the list of TMs I've noticed is that Thunderpunch is listed as TM01 instead of TM41. Love the Runs!
I know why. Thanks for catching that. I’ll correct it for future runs.
It’s mega thunder punch from gen 1
I can see why they made granbull a fairy type. Ursaring and Granbull are very similar in terms of stats and movepools. Come to think of it girafarig and stantler are kind of like that too.
Yup.
I dont know why but i absolutely adore these videos, thank you so much
You're welcome! It's a joy to create them.
Fun fact about the Seel line; its evolution is also lazily named. Dewgong is a homophone of dugong, a marine mammal closely related to manatees.
It’s like they wanted to make clear that the Seel line is a decoration Pokémon
That "news" segment at the end is actually a brilliant idea. Gets more people to watch till the end than bloopers ever did and also gives people something to be excited about. I just hope that any promises are things that are already set up rather than things you still need to do work on - better to announce hopes that don't pan out than promise exciting things that get derailed by life 😅 looking forward to seeing vs again! 😁
I am enjoying the news segment but I have to admit I really miss the bloopers
I keep forgetting this pokemon was once a normal type
Conversely, I always forget Snubbull is not normal type anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
37:28
Us: Scott, you’re just being stubborn. You should move on.
Scott: Well no but actually yes.
Nice to see artwork for Hiker Anthony. Gen 2 was my start in pokemon and seeing someone in gen 2 get their artwork makes me happy. Please keep up the great work and amazing videos.
Hi Scott, been here and watched every video sice around 2 or 3k subs. So glad to see such great success, your videos have improved so so much. Cheers from Brazil
Absolutely love the content Scott! was a math major in college and love the attention to detail you offer in your explanations of calculations and math definitions!!!
I forget how much I truly loved gen 2 sprites.. thank you for reminding me again Scott
As always awesome work bro, been great to see how your content has developed and grown over time
I always wish they had like 3 trainers in Jasmine's gym. One with a forretress and 1 with scizor. And the 3rd with skarmory.
Really nice to see Snubbull getting a sub 2 hour time. The fast growth rate is definitely helpful for getting it extra levels. I can’t wait to see the evolution videos for all first stage runs. Maybe potentially an Ursaring vs Donphan race?
That race, this year.
Excellent video as always =)
Really like the trainer art for hiker Anthony, and super looking forward to all those VS videos!
Havent commented in awhile thanks for making my long drives much better Scott. I ussually re watch points to see what was on the overlay when I get home as I love all the information
That's what the overlay is for! Glad that it's getting used.
Just wanted to say I love and appreciate the effort you put into all of your videos
Thanks so much!!
Loving your content! You put so much time in for science, and it is so neat to watch your playthroughs! I would love to see you do a three-way comparison between Raikou, Entei, and Suicune solo runs in Crystal.
This year.
Hey Scott! A lot of people have asked you whether you could do a Nuzlocke run. But examples like this very run without a reset are basically already a successful Nuzlocke of its own. Not a hardcore one since you overlevel, but it is basically a Itemless Solo Nuzlocke, which is still considered a hard category by top Nuzlockers' standards.
I just recently realized this and it proves again that you are a better player than you sometimes depict yourself. Great content as always, Scott, keep it up!
PS: Denis
Yay! Another Saturday to feed my addiction of listening to Scott’s thoughts!
You should do a Ginyu Force parody art piece for the Tag-team Black Belts. Would be hilarious! 😂
there are only 2 the ginyu force has/had 5 members. might work better if theres a fitting duo to use for the art
@@corberus3119 maybe have the editor make a chibi version of themselves for the fifth? Could work.
Really looking forward to the start of the Crystal VS series with the starters. Take your time Scott, we know that those VS videos tend to make you a lot more work! (Especially with additional playthroughs. ;)
They do take a lot of time. But it’s worth it!
Scott *arrives with another first-stage Pokémon*
Red:
“……
……”
Snuble has a great attack that's what helped him a lot. I have to say, many Pokemon you got the knockout in just one hit... I wasn't expecting to be one hit, that did impressed me! Snuble was a very good competitor in the end. To be honest I didn't like Snubull that much, but it proved itself to be good I admit hehehe! Can't wait for your next challenge Scott! See you! Lots of success!
Nice seeing you take proper advantage of fire punch in this one. I know you brought ice punch into jasmine a lot so seeing you use the best punch for that and to take out the Piloswine was great to see
I’m learning ;)
Wait, the last revelation at the end of the video got me REEEAAALLY HYPED: can’t wait to see the KantoVsJohto Starter Compilation! Go go go!!!
Yeah it’s going to be so fun!
Mud Slap 's Japanese name roughly translates to "Fuck Gligar", which is why it can't learn it.
Ahhhhh makes more sense now
Best explanation I've heard for that XD
30:21 _You wanna take out a Dragonite?! Well you best be packin' another [flipping] Dragonite!! Lance uses three Dragonites because they [fudging] work, and because [buddies]! love! Dragonites!_
I love the little pokéfamily you’re building with all the little art of the pokémon and trainers. Would be cool to see a big, like, class portrait of all the arts of both pokémon/trainers as well as you, your fiancée and your team.
Yeah! I should do that!
Honestly I'd really like a video just going through the artwork trainers. No gameplay, just "this is the roster of artwork trainers with an explanation why they got artwork"
Trust me my man, this will get hella views. Your artist is fire.
You know I wanna see the team they have, their strats, their art, the whole thing. That's at least a 30 minute video with no play thru required. I'm sure other fans agree.
Lemmie get a like if you wanna see this vid! Scott nation assemble!
Snubbull was doing pretty good, surprisingly enough.
I'm not a fan of it's design, so I didn't really have the chance to use it in a crystal playthrough.😅 But it improved a lot , especially in terms of resets and real time. That shows again how efficient grinding can improve a certain pokemon's results in a solo playthrough.
I think that you could test sludge bomb with Snubbull , because it can have a high chance of poisoning the opposing pokemon,and it uses Snubbull's attack stat, alongside curse , I'm not sure how it could change it's results,but I think it's a fun concept to try out.😊 Also I think that game freak gave sludge bomb to Snubbull in order to resemble Teddiursa's access to fury cutter ,in a way.
Anyways, I can't wait for the new vs videos of the Kanto starters against the Johto starters.😊
So... I dare you to use an "homemad" Snubbull costume on your wedding day party!! I think sshe will love it 😌😂
Greetings from Portugal 💪😉
Snubbul is impressive (considering it is a 1st stage Pokémon). I'm curious to see your next video.
Gg as always.
Yeah normal Pokémon are real good in gen2. Surely it’s going to be the best type for a solo challenge.
I was fascinated with snubbul when GSC were first coming out. I had seen it somehow, and was so excited at the thought of new Pokémon. Then i saw the rest of them and completely forgot about snubble. I've used one a couple times since and wasn't impressed. I don't see it ending up too high on the tier list.
Another great video Scott. Can’t wait for the VS videos
Cool to see you using the Amulet Coin; one of my favorite in-game items!
Known errors:
1) Accuracy/Evasion calculations. When Snubbull's accuracy is lowered or the enemy's evasion is boosted I am using the generation 1 values to recalculate accuracy. For example, -1 accuracy gives a 0.66 multiplier where as in generation 2 it gives a 0.75 multiplier. Thanks to
@JoaoFerreira-pj1uc for catching this.
2) 5:11 - I said Teddiursa, meant to say Snubbull
Before watching:
Really high attack for a first stage pokemon and solid defense and HP. Also, a Normal Type that can learn strong physical normal moves. And the elemental punches which can give some coverage if needed. And it learns Bite and Lick early on, so not even the Ghosts will be a problem.
My prediction is that Snubbull is actually really good! You will run into a problem with Blue and Red, because you‘ll be too underleveled, since you‘ll get there „too quickly“ but aside from that I really don‘t see many real obstacles. And even the underleveled thing might not be the biggest problem since it levels fast.
My guess is upper mid-tier which is going to be really good for a first stage pokemon.
After watching:
Completely missed how similar Snubbull is to Teddiursa.
But yeah, unsurprisingly, this is a really strong first stage pokemon. And it just has so many tools to work with. Zero resets is still surprising! Badass little dog! So, I‘m actually still surprised that it didn‘t get a higher rank.
Scott is doing MDB-style rambling outros now :).
Loved the subtle bit starting at 33:50 , great timing as well :')
5:10 uh oh poor Snubble don't call him that, the salt in the wound 😂😂😂
You hunted down an old comment of mine just to let me know the "Gen 1 Starter in Gen 2" video that I wanted was coming. I'll never forget that. Super hype for the Starter verses battle Scott!
The shinies stats thing in gen 2 will forever be frustrating to me. My first instinct nowadays is it was a limitation computation wise. But even coming at it with logic still doesn't ease the pain of knowing that Gyarados will always be inferior...
It was better when I didn't know and I was a smol precocious child, seeing that red sea leviathan for the first time ;-;
You called snubbull teddiursa when talking about lick. "For now I don't think it makes sense to teach Teddiursa this move". Haha gotcha Scott
Snubbull!! I didn’t like Snubbull very much as a kid but since adopting a puppy pitbull a few years ago, I’ve completely fallen in love with Snubbull and Granbull :D
After seeing so much artwork for Gen 1, it's nice to see some for Gen 2 as well. It makes these runs feel more "at home" if that makes any sense.
That makes sense
Zero resets! amazing! Looking forward to those vs videos. I usually watch them a lot alter than they come out cause they're longer and I need to time them well but they a
re super fun.
Glad you like them! I’m looking forward to them too!
Super excited for the VS videos!!!
I liked the inside jock when you said “it’s “Nice” to this now” right when are at level 69 🤣
The starters video will be awesome! I think Venusaur’s Red fight might be a nightmare with Psychic and Flamethrower working against it but I hope it still finds a way to win
Really looking forward to the versus videos :)
😮really looking forward to those vs vids
Thanks as always for the content! All the best! Cheers
I guess the Blastoise went for Blizzard because the Sun reduced the power of surf. How very fortunate.
whaa? i always thought rock was weak to ice. your channel has taught me so much
Hey, Scott. Great video as always!
I noticed when you get hit with a Sand Attack, your code updates the accuracy of moves from 100% to 66%. But this is only the case for Gen 1, I think. In Gen 2, -1 on accuracy means 75%. Check that out,.in case you need to update the script for post gen 1 games.
You're correct, good catch.
Granbull was always a must in my teams! Love this line. :)
I audibly popped off when snubble won without a reset, so happy for the lil pupper
I usually try and use Special Attacks against Koffing and Weezing. They have a lower Special Defence. That might help against Petril during the rocket plot line.
Teddiursa probably learns Swift because of the moon theme and Swift is a star shaped attack
1. Interesting observation with the quick claw
2. Credits are perfect. Good job! The pace is good and full screen
3. Wtf happened with pineco for it to be Bruno. I need to watch that vid
Pineco is very bad haha. Enjoy the video
i'm very hyped for these vs videos.
me too!
I can't wait for the much faster runs of their evolved form. It's like you're doing little cup speed runs right now.
Also, PLEASE make a checklist. It takes five minutes and no more forgetting kimono girls.
Ps. Snubbull is probably a french bulldog or boston terrier, not a pitbull.
"Who being naughty in my sight... shall snuff it." -Brother Meinhards Apprentice Monthy Python and the holy Grail
Forretress was my equivalent of Venomoth to you. No matter what move i used, i never figured out its typing from fighting Koga until I looked it up.
Psychic and Normal, of course.
I wonder when Scott will get another shiny in one of his challenges...
Edit: Holy cow! Gratz on finding that red shiny fish Pokémon you spotted! Shame you didn't catch it.
Hiker Anthony the chad hiker bullying 10 year olds
Yup
My predictions for the starter Vs videos:
Venusaur will crush Meganium. Meganium is bulkier, but Venusaur is still plenty bulky and is much more offensively potent. Meganium will still do okay overall, but I think Venusaur is going to be exceptional.
Charizard and Typhlosion have literally identical stats. So it comes down to how helpful the Flying typing is for Zard, and how much having Thunder Punch matters for Typhlosion. I think Thunder Punch is a big enough advantage, especially given how early you get it, that Typhlosion has the edge, but I think they'll both be solid.
I don't remember how Feraligatr's stats are distributed, but its Special Attack being lower than Blastoise's is a notable disadvantage. I think Blastoise will probably win, but Gatr has a chance. I think they'll both be quite good.
ETA: I recently watched a challenge run of HGSS that reminded me just how hostile Johto is to Grass types. They match up very poorly against all of Falkner, Bugsy, Morty, Jasmine, Pryce, Clair, Will, Koga, Karen, and Lance. Blue and Red are slightly less painful for Grass types, but not by that much. So Venusaur probably actually won't be nearly as good as I initially thought. And Meganium is probably going to struggle big time.
For consideration of the "Tag-Team Trainers" art, them looking at each other other their shoulders, an arm out each for a backfist-bump.
I love Snubull, literally adorable. Look at it!!!!! So grumpy.
Always love the crystal runs. I wish we'd get a Johto remake or port of some kind on Switch
I’ve been using Snubbull in my current “not popular Pokémon” run in Crystal. His physical attack has been pretty great!
Granbull has great attack, but its speed really brings it down
I’m back after a bit of break and wow! That ugly dog did pretty well!
Snubbull and by extension Granbull are memorable Pokemon but IMO weren't very memorable in-game until they became Fairy-types later on. Though they do have the Intimidate ability which can be really good.
Well Granbull, Mawile and Mimikyu are the best designed Fairy types. Just saying
Snubbull was about 9 minutes slower than Ho-oh at Claire-- and ended up an hour behind on the first play through. Wow, that late game/post game is really the difference maker in gen 2!
Hey. Great video, as always. Thanks for your work.
But I'm still waiting for ditto.
Hey Scott. Just wanted to give you a bit of a programming lesson. Now, I know most of your experience is with Javascript so this isn't especially relevant for you. But in many programming languages, data is explicitly assigned to a particular type. In the case of Pokémon, all of the main games use integers in all of their damage calculations, and there's a concept called integer arithmetic. Which is to say, if you do a division function on integers, it *acts* as a floor function, but is not actually a floor function. It's just a consequence of performing a rational mathematical operation on something that only accepts discrete integers as inputs and outputs.
Of course, in Javascript, basically all numbers are floating point numbers, meaning they have decimals, so to force it to act like the pokémon damage calculation, you have to use a floor function. I love your content. Keep it up my man. Can't wait for the skitty playthrough!
I did already know this. All of my calculations have these math.floor functions as a part of their logic!
hee hee I like snubbull, it's kind of cute and I love granbull. underappreciated johto critter. seems strong enough, and it gets to be fairy type later in the game :)
I am so hyped for the Versus Series /w the Gen 1 & 2 starter Pokemon. I have watched the HiddenJim & Squidy videos on the starters several times. I look forward to your takes on how they do.
I heard you say in your recent Ho-Oh stream that you decided to commit to releasing the Parasect race soon. I can not remember when you said, and I cannot seem to find it again - when I tried to go back & re-watch. Could you share when you said you hoped to have it ready by?
Hopefully end of April.
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon Thank you for the reply to clarify. Hopefully it all works out. I know how life can be sometimes. I appreciate all that you do!
12:15 - Oh, Bruno tier player error for the 2nd reset too. Poor Snubbull.
Teddiursa set a high bar for new gen2 normal types w 2 evolutions, so I’m guessing this will also be a….. (teddiursa spoiler)
Fast and smooth run…. Until the e4!
I just had a moment where I realized I have missed some videos for a minute and was almost hoping Scott said wife instead of fiance lol. Still love the vids dude
Really excited about multiple videos a week in May! One a week just isn't enough!(Though I am sure it is for you guys working on them. Haha)
Not sure if this is a silly idea but was it an option to not teach mud slap until the end (and instead HP ground earlier if needed) to help set up against Pikachu or Snorlax in the red fight. Great run and commentary as always!
It’s a bit silly, but also could work!
Blastoise vs Feraligatr? That's an interesting one I didn't expect. The starter 3 way is an is win for Gatr over Typhlosion and Meganium, but putting it against the previous water starter in a game that heavily favors water types could make things close.
It’s not a three way. Meganium vs Venusaur etc
With your much higher atk than Sp atk and Aerodactyl's lower physical defense, would Shadow Ball possibly do more than Ice Punch to it? Or maybe it would be about the same amount. Just curious how that damage would work out
If it can't one hit, then at least the freeze chance makes ice punch better, but maybe
Yeah, that’s a good idea. I should check. I always forget that Aerodactyl has lower physical defense.
Ever thought adding a save counter? I've always wondered how often you save or don't in order to save time during your initial and second playthrough. It would be great to see your "risk vs reward" mentality during your videos!
The routing software and autosplitter track all my saves. I save way more in the first attempt and then cut any that aren’t at locations where I am likely to reset. I haven’t thought of adding a visual element to show how many times I save, but maybe I can mention it from time to time.
Is the a granbull video I love granbull
I love your video and I'm happy you have done all the bugs
Hype for the versus battles
You mention in the video that you think it is weird for Lance to have 3 Dragonites. I actually really like this because in Gen 1, he has 2 Dragonair and a Dragonite, so it would make sense that those two would evolve into Dragonite between the events of RBY and GSC.
Maybe if they were high enough level, but they are lower level than tbhw lol
It doesn't help that gen 2 didn't actually introduce any new dragon types except Kingdra who Clair was already using.
Faulkner and Morty have no excuse for not using Hoothoot, Noctowl and Misdreavus though.
I wish I had a Bayleef IRL. The Pokedex claims that the aroma it emits from its leaves is invigorating, and God knows I need more vigor.
Hi Scott
Are all the early game trainers really good worth it for experience when you need more exp for Red. Surely late game wild pokemon are more time efficient for grinding.
I know being overleveled made it easier to one shot through the game so maybe its worth it in that regard.
I need to find a way to test this. I’ll design a way.
I almost think Anthony deserves an art where he's spinning in a mini tornado like Tazmanian Devil x3 still nice to see some art though!
Of course Snubbull gets the pink level up rate
Of course!
The vs videos are going to be awesome
Dark type moves doing special damage makes so much sense to me now, as my Espeon (my original ace) used to smash opponents with bite.
But years later when I finally understood about attack and special attack, bite was a physical move, so I was confused for years about this 😂
