Ralts Line Solo Challenge - Pokémon FireRed
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Challenge Rules:
- I can only use my starter in battle.
- No items in trainer battles except held items.
- No glitches, exploits, or RNG manipulations.
- Accuracy moves aren’t explicitly banned but will be avoided.
- I will be playing these runs at 4x game speed
My footage will be edited to give what I consider a better viewing experience. This includes making cuts, fades, and adjusting the speed of the footage to match my commentary.
I use a software called "PKHeX" to edit my starter to optimize it's strategy. All of the Pokémon I use are 100% attainable in the base game. The software allows me to create my "perfect" egg Pokémon in a much shorter timeframe.
PKHeX also allows me to set my Pokédex total to max after the Round 1 Elite 4. A requirement of Round 2 is catching 60 species and I am only interested in the potential of the Pokémon that I'm running instead of my ability to catch Pokémon optimally.

This series is perfect for me. I've already killed most, if not all, of the other channels in this category of content. Scott's Thoughts, Jrose11, MuhDryBread... Even the monolockers like FlygonHG and SilphSpectre.
This content works for me because it's full commentary about something I am deeply passionate about. Also these videos tend toward the hour mark so they make wonderful content to listen to while at work when I can't always watch my phone. You have a wonderful commentary style and personality. It reminds me of a mix between Scott's Thoughts and SilphSpectre. Please keep up the good work and thank you for such quality content.
Thank you so much!! I'm blown away by the support that I've been getting. I'm so excited to be able to continue creating content, playing with ideas, and, most importantly, making content that people love watching. I'm pumped to have you around :)
dang, dude's on a killing spree
Can recommend you Squidgy too!
I think how Eggs REALLY kills it is how he plays evolutionary lines instead of only the weaker versions. And he interacts with his fans. Jrose and MDB could give a shit if you exist. Eggs and Gym Leader Matt come down off the stage and mingle with the crowd.
I say this because i comment on pokemon videos. GLM and EGGS reply. The others do not, and I try to keep my pokemon comments at least related to pokemon and relevant to the video I'm watching. Unless its banter with another fan like this.
Bruh been watching your videos as of late and they are cathartic😂😂😂😂
I'm like the member berries from South Park. Tickling your dopamine receptors one catharsis at a time ;)
Love these runs. Can't wait for more.
Thanks for watching :)
I have also accidentally tried to use an ice beam tm on my Gardevoir. I get thunderbolt and ice beam compatibility mixed up a lot for some reason.
Good run! Ralts definitely struggles with that Lvl 5 moveset, but I'm glad Gardevoir was able to do pretty well with calm mind setup
I am so looking forward to Pinsir vs Scyther! For future runs, I would be interested in seeing a gen 1 vs gen 3 showdown between the early route bugs (like a Beautifuly vs Butterfree or a Beedrill vs Dustox sort of thing)
The worst part is that I don't think that was my first time failing to teach Gardevoir Ice Beam in my lifetime. Whoops!
I'm excited to release the Scyther vs Pinsir! The VS videos are a huge amount of work but so fun and rewarding to produce.
When I decided on this run it was actually because I wanted to do a bug run. But I was scared of the early game bugs 😅 Those runs are absolutely coming at some point in the future I love mixing Generations
I greatly appreciate when you dim the game to not blind us with flashes. It's so thoughtful
I've been trying to avoid including flashy parts since this video but if I encounter them again I'll be sure to dim it again :)
Liked and subbed for the awesome alliteration and Austin powers reference
I love learning little lessons while perpetually playing Pokémon "professionally" :) Thanks for the sub!
Lance seeing a Gardevoir after the Master 8: Oh No not you again :p
Good video. Gardevoir has always been my favorite Psychic type since i was one of those kids that rarely did trades soo no Alakazam.
Right?? Those trade evolutions were such a pain!!! I want to try Alakazam VS Gardevoir but there are way too many ideas to explore!
That pic of Lorelei is so cute at 15:28
I'm waiting for ya to go back to this one, and redoing it with your 1 egg move you've been giving yourself in the new rule sets :3
I looked it up really quick and Gardevoir doesn't get great egg moves :( Will-o-Wisp might be the best option. Either way - totally running this again!!
@@Eggsceptional Better than the struggle strat! Plus with the will of wisp can get exp off those pesky Weedles and Kakunas!
@@Angelvasilakissfl You know, I'm glad you reminded me of that. I think I suppressed the Struggle grind ;)
This was sooooo good! Saving Thunderbolt for the late game was key. I think with some rare candy usage before before Agatha Rd 1 or more speed EV’s to target her Ace Gengar can help avoid at least one those rare resets. I think the Ralts line is capable of a perfect run.
The Ralts line was soo powerful, especially when it stopped being a Ralts. I received a fun comment pointing out that Unknown has a higher BST than Kirlia, by a margin. Gross! Gardevoir is the perfect candidate for a VS run in the future to see just what it can accomplish
@@Eggsceptional Gardevoir curb stomps Kanto
@@gmanz5 Oh once I evolved to Gardevoir it's like the game opened up. I'm trying to imagine having that from the very start...
The early game cocoon battles make me want to see a caterpie vs weedle (and likewise lotad vs seedot unrelated), the comparative lines duos are awesome!
I'm working myself up to them. Bugs have never been a type that I've been a fan of but I'm slowly coming around :)
19:30 Trace is saving your butt against the Jynx there :)
Gardevoir definitely looks like a Pokémon that should have Thick Fat 🤔 I missed that while editing! Leftovers AND Trace saved us :)
Never liked how they slapped on the fairy type.
Anyways fun video as always.
I kind of liked the addition myself! I feel it took Gardevoir from feeling like discount Alakazam, into something of it's own. Thank you :)
if pokemon world were real, Gardevoir would be the preferred pokemon of the kind of people who are VERY close to their sheep....
I've definitely heard it referred to in ways that are... questionable
"We're only 3 levels above her ace, taking on an entire team of top tier Pokemon."
Okay now, let's not get carried away with Dewgong there.
It pains me to admit I've been one shot by that Dewgong. Several times :(
another Eggcellent run. I think there is a way to improve it slightly, in Fire Red Kirlia can learn Magical Leaf, but Gardivour can't how would you feel about keeping it as a Kirlia until you get to the move reminder on Island 2, which is after Blaine (there is also a Rare Candy and a PP Max on Island 2), you can get a big Mushroom for the reminder in the Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town, a grass move would be good to increase PP usage, it doesn't miss and grass is good for the water, rock and ground types.
Hmm. I had debated ways of getting Magical Leaf on Gardevoir, but I felt like the power increase of evolving into Gardevoir outperformed what I would gain from Magical Leaf. Unfortunately, FireRed isn't very friendly to a few types offensively.
@@Eggsceptional fair and very true, fire red is my Home game so to speak and it is an unkind one, if you've ever watched Razador, he'll tell you, Gen 3 loves status moves, so many good Pokemon suffer as a result of that, I do Bug type only runs and they are always brutal
@@jptheflipper3825 That.. darn.. Sand Attack....
It took me a few videos to work myself up to Scyther VS Pinsir let alone venturing into Beedrill, Beautifly, ..gulp... Shedinja. Good on you for running them!
@@Eggsceptional you'll have an easier time with Butterfree than Beedrill, I Shedinja will make you want to quit, but its do-able. if you're doing a VS for the bug types, I'd say maybe try Butterfree VS Venomoth, they are similar but the difference in stats and movesets will make a big difference, Also go with HP fire or fighting, you'll never get by the steel types without it on the bugs
@jptheflipper3825 Oh, of course! For the Bugs, I was given the suggestion of doing cross generation VS with them: Butterfree vs Beautifly or something of the like. I haven't done much digging into those matchups. I've been wanting to do Venonat/Venomoth as a solo run too, I think that a Compound Eyes run would be a lot of fun. And yes, anything to get me past the Steel types I'll be grateful for.
Ralts traced "Keen Eye" with her ability, so no accuracy issues from Pidgeotto.
Yes being immune to Sand Attacks for a change was nice. Even if it made me get beat up more :P
nice run, egg! ralts definitely has a slow start like abra, but she definitely proved her worth in the end! it was a fun watch!
hidden abilities would definitely be fun, in my opinion, just to have more diverse strategies in these runs! i'm so excited to see the next versus run!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Once I find some more super tight times in that "S" tier I'll probably do a versus video starting with them fully evolved. Imagine starting with Gardevoir! Starting the game with Confusion and crazy stats would be a different kind of routing challenge
Definitely use hidden abilities, I think the more diversity/options you have, the more strategies you can come up with. More strategies = more interesting content. Great narration style and you've got a good voice for an American.
Yours sincerely,
Subscriber 461
Thank you, Subscriber 461! I agree with the diverse strategy. It's much more fun to play as well, which I feel translates into the videos. One correction, though: I'm not American. I'm Canadian :)
@@Eggsceptional Apologies, I never could tell the difference, maybe Canadians are the ones with the better accent.
No worries! I always find it funny when I'm told I have an accent. I've spent a fair amount of time in the southern US and when they made fun of my accent I told them to watch their local news or listen to the radio and to tell me again who had the accent 🙃
loved your commentary, great video :) timestamp for engagement 1:00
I appreciate the engagement! Audience -> algorithm -> me -> audience. It's the circle of liiiiiiiife!! I'm going to going to go watch The Lion King now
33:38 my German ass shudders at this.
Pro tip: In Germany, don't use the code 444. You will either get beaten up by good people or welcomed as a friend by the most horrible human beings imaginable.
I had to look it up quickly, oh boy! It's mind-blowing how things carry different meanings. Something tells me the Wehrmacht weren't spreading "love, support, and guidance."
Thank you for letting me know :)
I like these runs through the evos. Can't wait for that Gastly run! Are you going to do legendaries? Maybe generational vs for the legends. Be interesting to see which is better the birds or the dogs 😂
I can't wait to play that one! Birds and Dogs are going to be an interesting one. I want to do them 3 way vs each other while also wanting to do them across generations. So many choices! I'm doing Groudon VS Kyogre coming this Friday :)
Fun fact! Kirlia has worse stat than Unown!
I honestly can't say if I'm happy to know that or not :)
Points for the pettiness of destroying Machamp woth a thunderbolt instead of psychic 😂
I'm definitely not above rubbing in some salt when the opportunity presents itself :)
Ralts i remember first seeing in Ruby and how Wally a sick kid trained it from only having growl to its full team and fully evolved it as well.
It is a weak pokemon at first then got some what better.
Starting with Ralts? Not so great. Evolving into Gardevoir? Outstanding. This run was exactly how I like my Pokémon - humble beginnings, and a force to be reckoned with in the late game.
Oh that reminds me, have you heard of Pokemon emerald Wally edition?
It lets you play from his perspective.
If you ever manage to find some free time(I can only imagine how busy you are with these runs and stuff) maybe check it out for just yourself as I am not asking for a video on it just thought maybe you might like it given you start with Ralts.
Oh and Wally's Ralts is very unique.
@@valor1omega I have not checked it out no! I'll have to when I find a free moment. But you are correct - I have been slightly consumed by this :)
Yeah i think they added ice beam later on, it had me stumped too😅
I've had a few people commenting on mistakenly buying Ice Beam for Gardevoir. I swear it's been a thing at some point!
just here to say "hi" for the glory of the youtube algorhythm
Hi back at ya :)
I hope you blow all the way up man. You really are 🥚 cellent
Well, shucks! Thanks :) The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little eggstra.
15:32
Why yes the animations are nifty.
Eggscellent! Nifty is swell :)
LMAO the way the clefairy blocked you in the Celadon Condominium, what a dick!
Clefairy and Nidoran! One day, I might make a small video entirely of those two blocking me, or other NPCs pathing in front of me over and over. Playing at 4x gamespeed has its own unique challenges 😅
20:36 that sounds like something my fiancee would say 😂
Adding the plural to words that end in "x" is more than my spaghetti brain can handle sometimes :)

@@Eggsceptional also ope
Why did I think he was playing Ruby for 2 minutes-
I'm not skilled enough for that 😅
I did a base stage only of emerald (think little cup, but i can Level up) and the best way i can describe ralts is half a magikarp in a trench coat.
I can totally see that. Any Pokémon that starts with Splash only I tell ya... I will never not see Ralts wearing a trench coat from now on.
13:24 PeSYchic power😂😂😂mHMmmmmMmMMM
Sometimes I take some liberties with language ;)
Oh no, please don't tell me you're falling down the rabbit hole of actually believing in astrology and numerology.
It's really important to my gf! I won't be basing my days on it, but it's interesting nonetheless :)
@@Eggsceptional Honestly man, believing in pseudoscience is believing in pseudoscience. While I'm more bitter than most as an autistic person who grew up with parents who believed in a lot of that stuff, leading to an extremely frustrating and misinformed childhood, we live in a world where facts are terrifyingly fragile. Belief in that stuff isn't harmless. It demonstrates a really bad lack of critical thinking, self awareness, and can have subtle effects on those around you that you won't realize until it's too late and they're too exasperated to be around. I watched it happen enough.
You could have help yourself out a little bit at the beginning stating Ralts at level 6.
Also for some reason my raltz wouldn't evolve in Fire red 🤔
Ahh, but where's the fun in that ;)
It's likely because you don't have the National Dex. You can't get it until after defeating the Round 1 league. Since my runs are in the hypothetical realm, I use the Universal Pokémon Randomizer to get around that.
@@Eggsceptional thanks I did some searching an figured it out 🤗
You should do Milotic vs Gyrodose
It's already on the list. Now with one more vote! Thanks for the suggestion :)
@@Eggsceptional ngl with the way your interact with the comment section and the energy you have in your videos your my favorite Pokémon RUclipsr right now
@@rickywebb1803 I appreciate that. I've been working hard and try my best to be a positive guy. If I can bring a bit of lightness to somebody's day I consider it a successful one for me :) Thank you!
I'm so disappointed that in pokémon fire Red and LeafGreen they named the hiker in Rock tunnel Dudley. In my playthroughs I've always called him Boomer.
I would've much preferred seeing "Hiker Boomer wants to battle!" Aw man.. Hiker Dudley you're letting us down....
@@Eggsceptional you could say his name's a dud lol
Oh... my... 🤣
I didn't realize Ralts is so bad. Those base stats are really low. But I guess it's not Abra... 😂
Right? I've wanted to do an Abra run modding things slightly so it would evolve at level 36 or something into Alakazam without the trade being needed. But getting through Brock with Struggle alone and less physical stats than Ralts had? Ew!
I wonder who wins ralts line or abra line?
Find out next, next, next, next... ...next, next time on Eggsceptional's channel! :) It's a VS video that I plan to explore in the future.
Cool!
It will be a very interesting vs. Run
@@valor1omega I hope so!
21:56 and 34:13 he said 69 nice 😂😂😂😂
No matter how old I get, there are certain things that will always make me smile :)
@@Eggsceptional I know that's right buddy
Isnt substitute worse than double team strats
No way!! At least Substitute has some strategy to it aside from "click 6 times hoping you don't get knocked out then win". I mean.. mostly :P
@@Eggsceptional yeah ai is forced into spamming t wave so I can set up and sweep sure won't get boring after 3 videos
@@andyvanmuilekom7390 I've been trying to avoid using it if I can but especially in the second playthroughs if it's the faster strategy it's what I go for. Real time completion time is the metric that I assign the highest value to after all!
You. You still had one rare candy left
At the end of the 1st? Or 2nd? If it was the 2nd it was likely one I'd grabbed from my Meowth and wasn't part of the plan. It's been a minute since I did this run :)
