I'm sure someone's pointed it out, but you should try this again with a Nincada in order to get your Shedinja. Level 25 evolution gives Swords Dance to Ninjask, but it also gives it to Shedinja. If you can get even one Swords Dance off you can set yourself up for a full sweep at no loss to your movepool. And if you want to take it a little further, you can EXP Share train a Beautifly until it learns Silver Wind(34), breed it with your female Ninjask, and have Silver Wind as an egg move, likely to replace Swords Dance with something else(or keep it, idk I'm not your dad). Over the course of the game, I'd probably pick a movepool like: Dig/Return/Aerial Ace/Hyper Beam Shadow Ball Swords Dance/Silver Wind Confuse Ray You'd still likely have to grind out for Shadow Ball at the beginning but you could probably get a lucky run with just Sand Attack, Swords Dance and Fury Swipes.
When I used a shedinja for the elite four, my chosen move pool was double team, screech, aerial ace, and shadow ball. Stacking a lot of double teams help you sweep all of their pokemon, given you bring out shedinja against an opponent without any super effective moves or status inflicting moves. Fury cutter does a great job as well since it gets stronger with every hit. Plus with screech, it was a killer for me lmao. Wish I knew immediately shedinja can learn swords dance.
@@CharChan10 It's dark typing cancels ghost weakness 😂 It is just like Spiritomb from gen 4. But weaker 😢 I like Sableye, because it is smol and cute 😊

Nah thats definitely it, it works with other abilities that give you immunities like water absorb or flash fire too. The AI doesnt know what ability you have until it sees it in action.

@@xmgaming2444 I wish the AI was like that in some fangames, specifically Pokemon Rogue. It always annoys me that the opponents know that I'm immune to certain moves because of my ability when the ability hasn't activated yet.

This would probably be the harder of games to do a Shedinja run because of the gym lineup. Rock, fire, normal, flying, psychic (with rock types), and an elite 4 with dark, ghost, dragon/flying. Plus double battles everywhere. I'm surprised he managed it.
I love how older gen Wonder Guard's description its just '"super effective" moves' Wow a new abikitty! I *Wonder* what it does! "Super effectuve moves, take what you want from that information" ...
due to the fact that you had the patience to grind to level 40 to deal with the first gym with low level trainers and pokemon makes it very easy to overlook the fact you used double team
I love how everybody is pissy over shedinja pronounciation but im here like "doesnt wurmple give hp evs?? Why are you fighting those instead of just focusing on zigagoons and poochyenas for atk + spd evs???"
Evs are effort value they are give from fainting pokemon and they increase a certain stat depending on the pokemon example:ponyta gives speed evs and maril give healthy evs there mainly used for competitve @@metalmaple-fluffyhoney54
Well now I'm wondering what the actual % chance of success is on that final fight. Percents were never my strong suit; I don't know how to calculate it myself.
3:07 there is a catch: Wattson may not look like he has any chance to hit Shedinja, but Magneton has Supersonic which confuses and can easily hit your Shedinja because it is a Status Move.
Ivs are individual values and are set when the creature is spawned. Evs are effort values and are gained when defeating opponents. Hidden power is based off ivs.
I wanna point out how silly it is that Slaking tanked a 60 bp neutral hit from a pokemon 40 levels higher than it, lol. That thing's stats are so absurd
2:11 This is not "Overleveling". You actually cannot beat Roxanne with a single Lv10 pokemon. Even if you have Mudkip, the strongest starter in this generation, armed with Water Gun as well as a SpAtk boosting nature, and with optimized IVs, it will STILL be an uphill battle.
I wasn't sure about this at first but the video got fun by the end and I found myself rooting for you lol Nice video, looks like it took a lot of effort but it was a good one
I watched a german RUclipsr beat this game like over 10 years ago (his channel and videos aren't available anymore) with a Shedinja. To finally see the run with my (since then) favourite pokemon again is just heartwarming
Hidden power does not work like that, it changes TYPE depending on your IVs which CANT be boosted they are set from capture. You should have kept it and checked its type. I appreciate the effort that went into this playthrough but I wish the same effort went into learning about actual pokemon *cough, lightning type, cough* hopefully you have learned some stuff in the comments for future videos
I mean it's not entirely wrong. Hidden Power changes Base Power and Type based on IVs. It wasnt until some generations later that Hidden Power was locked to 60 BP.
Of course he doesn't. Makes a somewhat decent video with a somewhat good concept. But then mispronounces everything for community engagement by comments. He's just playing the algorithm
yeah like doesnt literally everyone wait for the rotating trainers to look away so they can get by without a battle. like this is one of the most fundamental experiences of playing pokemon. its only 90% monster raising and like 10% stealth game
As a viewer i have to say, please dont spoil the suspense of how far you get in a challenge like this. Almost immediately you imply to make it the whole way through and later you even say you win the battle in the middle of one of the harder battles. Suspense makes the watching experience much better as we get to feel we are tackling the challenge along side of you rather than waiting at the finish line watching you make your way to us. That being said its still very cool to see how you had to come up with solutions and execute them as you went through. Id like watch more of your challenges like this and i would definitely watch more if you considered implementing my feedback.
Why do I get the feeling you don't know Pokemon at all? Walking by any moving trainer is possible. Hidden Powers type and strength is determined by the users IVs. But then you said, that you never boosted the IVs. What do you mean by that? You can only boost EVs not IVs... Despite this gaping problems, you made a nice and enternaining video. I'm baffeled how, nevertheless its good. So keep it up!
shedinja is a cicada shell, cicadas live underground most their lives. it makes sense that the cicada line learns dig. hidden power is based on individual values that can not be changed (until 9th gen which removed hp). only effort values can be gained after fights.
I loved this video idea! 1 thing you missed in the battle against Glacia (I believe Im right in saying) is if she got hail up at any point the hail would also kill Shedinja so you had to be sure you were a high enough level to 1 shot all hail users as they like to spam it asap
