Once you get the mega bracelet you can fight dewgong who after defeating will gift you his mega stone. There are more pokemon like this over the game as welll
So one thing I've learned on my elite playthrough is that the game will tell you to not come to certain areas until you raise the level cap because I also struggled through that route with a bunch of NFE's while the trainers had fully evolveds. But after I beat Roxanne it raised the cap enough for some solid pokemon to be available through evolution and would've made the route a lot more palatable.
Basically a mon with Equinox use his highest attacking stat for Physical and Special moves. With Houndoom, he can use it to run a Strong Jaw set that use his Special Attack (that you can boost via Nasty Plot) or use Special Moves that use his Attack (not as powerfull but it do have the niche of ignoring the drawback of Overheat)
I've really been enjoying the return of the "long video format" man! Elite Redux is one of those games I'm not good enough to push through, so watching you play it has been fantastic.
I’m fine with the series being longer lol, more content the better. Ima assume that Dewgong in the ice cave prolly gives you dewgong mega stone once you get access to mega evolution. That’s just my guess
5:39 K, since you asked. I think he's battale-able after Tate and Liza or Norman gym leaders . Did you know that you can turn mega evolutions into a regular evolutions and go nuts btw?
I should really be asleep right as it is 2 in the morning for me in New Zealand but as soon as I say this I got very very excited and will gladly ruin my sleep schedule for this
It's so nice to be able to enjoy a daily playthrough from you again, especially after a long day at work. I hope you keep going with it. I do, in fact, enjoy watching you figure out how to fight each trainer. Also, bless you.
Don't forget about stat boosts. Ability like Juggernaut or Speed Force boosts damage based on defense and speed, so a Harden or Agility also boosts damage
Give the Mega Scrafty Stall and run Dragon Dance if it still gets it after the move rebalance. Pretty much a guaranteed set up and get all your health back with Drain Punch.
Even though im not a Member i feel like having any of youre friends like Patterrz, Luke, Nexus, Woopsire, JD, even some of youre moderators of the channel and discord would be cool to know their opinions on pokemon and other stuff yall have in common
At first I was going to use a different Ice type on my team, but Dewgong kinda solidified itself and now it's there forever. I'm hoping/assuming that Dewgong in Seaspray Cave gives you the Mega stone when you beat it. I'm having a great time playing while I watch you
some of the boss fights in the early game are BRUTAL, when you beat the gym leadres and buy new mons from the bp store, id get as many as you can, a few of those are insane
Ar-rhea-dos. There's also a literal damage calculator so you won't need to guess why it's taking you 3 energy balls to kill things lol WITHOUT needing to even go to the info tab in battle.
I really am enjoying this series so far and something I noticed in the rom while I play a randomized run (just for Encounters) is that if you use Skeledirge in a double battle torch song hits both of the opponent's pokemon and gives you +2 boost in special attack (+3 in special attack if their holding throat spray)
I'm also on my own weight loss journey. You are so right about cheese: It's so full of calories but damn it, it's so good. Been hard to cut down. Wish you the best with your own weight loss journey!
I love these videos but I do wish you would catch more mon cuz I wanna see you experiment more with the abilities and mon. Keep up the Dark Souls tactics tho it's more fun 🎉🎉
The moment I heard that u might have IBS, I was like: Oh no, the final boss with infinite respawns has arrived. I've got IBS myself, and it ain't pretty
mega bracelet, it's the mega bracelet. i remember you saying that placing eviolite on everything at the beggining of the game is boring, but that's exactly what they did to the ai, most opponent mons at the start have eviolite and i kinda wish that wasn't the case.
I mean there just putting the better items on the mons. Honestly with most mons early game I just slap one of the choice items on and you can deal with them easy. Just strategy at the end of the day
@TheJeremia1 I know it's the best, but it's pretty boring. Like both teams now have an Eviolite equipped to all pokemon since its the best, so it's like there's no items at all.
@TheJeremia1 Yeah, that's a great strategy for dealing with it. I'm just saying I wish the focus on early game trainer teams wasn't Eviolite. It's boring.
Im just saying Cal its been a minute since we seen you and sacred talk and just hang out or you and nexus or patterenz it would give the OG viewers who are members some nostalgia
I don't think route 116 is meant to be done before Roxanne, as a lot of the pokemon evolve around the second level cap for those fights, as opposed to the 16 level cap you currently have.
Oh man, Roxanne is just a looming threat at this point. Still, I'm looking forward to more- there's just so many Pokemon to toy with in this game, it's so many options and so hard to just "settle on a team."
Im playing this game again and found something cool you might want to know, and its that some pokemon with gender-locked evolutions have new evolutions like Male Combee. They arent on the wiki for some reason but its awesome to see
You should look at some of the moves that the opposite pokemon have in maybe check their evs so you don't get confused. But they also changed some moves as you noticed. But cut is a move they changed to a steel type which always critical hits
I noticed that you can get the Pokemon throught the Dexnav, there's an option to catch the Pokemon or the entirety of the Dexnav (on the route / field only) so it saves a whole lot of time rather than going in the grass. Any particular reason you don't catch your Pokemon from there ?
Bro can you give me the pre patched mediafire link of Pokemon fused green I love that game I want to download it but I can't download discord and from the mega one
so i did start playing this when the first episode dropped and every vid i'm watching i cant help but to feel like you are playing a different built then i was.. Also, i compleetely forgot that i effectively have a fakemon in this game, which caught me off guard when i encountered it in a battle.
Enjoying the series so far but I must say members only videos are a terrible idea, if this is your passion why would you want a minority to be the only people able to watch it? Badges and stuff is fair but members only content is shooting yourself in the foot.
They made Scrafty a hoodlum with that mega evolution, lol.
We’re fine with how long this series is going to take, the game is absolutely massive and I’m glad you’re doing it justice.
You know what else is massive?

just make sure you dont run away to restart the battle... the pokemon disappears and doesnt seem to come back

Alt emo scrafty isn't real he can't hurt you
Alt emo scrafty:
That ain't scrafty , that's Tyler from "OMG Tyler is so hot"
"30, 40, maybe even 50 mins." You jynxed it LOL
Also that pasta sounds really good~

35:15 😱 Somebody DID make a multiheaded ability!
I'd just posted in the one Hodgepodge video how I wanted this to be a thing!
Loving the series Cal! I must've downloaded an older version because that route to the right of rustboro city looks like normal emerald.
Yes, the current version he's playing on is the 2.5(beta I think)
Reminder to check the BP shop every time you get a new badge most redux mons are extremely good in a normal playthrough
Don't forget about stat boosts. Ability like Juggernaut or Speed Force boosts damage based on defense and speed, so a Harden or Agility also boosts damage

I never imagined id get picked! honestly such an honor to have your mascot named after me.

Sadly aint got the cash right now to join for the podcast. Loving this series so much though, great fitting to hear you talk so much again
Thanks for the daily uploads been missing it for sure , I’ll be here daily 🫡
Had my mouse die on me during the video, but still had to finish watching before finding my spare one haha, keep it up man these videos are goated
Another spectacular video I honestly would love if this went too a hundred episodes!
Great vid! Wish there was one level cap before Rustboro so that we could see some of the babies like Tinkatink and Rookidee do their thing

Yeah Skeledirge have Amplifier so his Sound moves (along with a 30% boost) will hit both foes so since you hit 2 times you get 2 buffs.
It’s been so long since you started playing after the stream era so we get gameplay finally
Hey Cal love the daily content again its been way to nice to have content to consume everyday
You did a podcast episode with pokéabbie?! That's so cool!
I'm also on my own weight loss journey. You are so right about cheese: It's so full of calories but damn it, it's so good. Been hard to cut down. Wish you the best with your own weight loss journey!
Big fan of this series! It’s super enjoyable and I love seeing all the changes made! It’s so nice seeing some of my fav weaker Pokémon get some love
I love these videos but I do wish you would catch more mon cuz I wanna see you experiment more with the abilities and mon. Keep up the Dark Souls tactics tho it's more fun 🎉🎉
If Slurpuff isn't claimed and I potentially get rolled, I beg to be named after Swirlix/Slurpuff, that's my favorite lil guy! He got a buff in this.
evolution too
I’m here love the vids good luck for the next one ❤
Man, I can't wait for Cal to see the other craaaaazy redux mons.
1st, That mega scrafty is🔥
2nd, I can't wait for the Roxanne fight that will definitely happen next episode.
I love that they buffed Ariados speed. Boy deserves some love
You made me find a new game that I'm addicted to playing
Thank you for introducing me to this game Callum; keep being who you are 🙏
The moment I heard that u might have IBS, I was like: Oh no, the final boss with infinite respawns has arrived.
I've got IBS myself, and it ain't pretty
I just want to be Dodrio please, that Pokemon is such a monster for no reason.
love the daily upload series! dont need a mon named after me, just boosting!
July 26th 2025 - Fighting the Elite Four [ELITE REDUX]
I’m here for it!
A Hoodlum Scrafty, beautiful. You're legally entitled to use one
I really like how this game has taken some of the most unused Pokemon and made them absolute terrors. 😅
You probably should grab a seed to try it out, if a lot of these trainers like to be bulky might aswell fight back with their strat
Certified Hood Classic
mega bracelet, it's the mega bracelet. i remember you saying that placing eviolite on everything at the beggining of the game is boring, but that's exactly what they did to the ai, most opponent mons at the start have eviolite and i kinda wish that wasn't the case.
It just makes the game a slog. The beginning is so rough to go through. Wish they'd take it off too.
I mean there just putting the better items on the mons. Honestly with most mons early game I just slap one of the choice items on and you can deal with them easy. Just strategy at the end of the day
@TheJeremia1 I know it's the best, but it's pretty boring. Like both teams now have an Eviolite equipped to all pokemon since its the best, so it's like there's no items at all.
@@BuckysKnifeFlip I get that. That why I usually go with the hyper offense approach of choice items at the beginning.
@TheJeremia1 Yeah, that's a great strategy for dealing with it. I'm just saying I wish the focus on early game trainer teams wasn't Eviolite. It's boring.
The daily uploads are an elite level move
Ah yes my daily hood videos, I like watching with my breakfast like a news paper
For a guest, I'd love to see Blunder after you beat this game or get further in.
Im just saying Cal its been a minute since we seen you and sacred talk and just hang out or you and nexus or patterenz it would give the OG viewers who are members some nostalgia
With how much choice you have in this game it feels good to do monotype runs.
I don't think route 116 is meant to be done before Roxanne, as a lot of the pokemon evolve around the second level cap for those fights, as opposed to the 16 level cap you currently have.
if you ever catch a keen edge pokemon, please name them shredrick
Love this new series, please keep it up!
EDIT: Bless you!
EDIT EDIT: Shiny Hisuan Zorua is my favourite Pokemon!
Oh man, Roxanne is just a looming threat at this point. Still, I'm looking forward to more- there's just so many Pokemon to toy with in this game, it's so many options and so hard to just "settle on a team."
Im playing this game again and found something cool you might want to know, and its that some pokemon with gender-locked evolutions have new evolutions like Male Combee. They arent on the wiki for some reason but its awesome to see
They are on the wiki, you just haven't changed your settings to ver 2.5
Man is scratching at his arms thinking about getting hisuian zorua
this game looks so cool but also overwhelming to learn all of it
This game on randomizer is so crazy and fun (in easy mode)...
Usually when a Pokemon says to come back when you're stronger, it's after defeating Tate & Liza or becoming Champion.
It can also be after Norman for some of them.
You can look at if a move kills in the info screen one to the right
You should look at some of the moves that the opposite pokemon have in maybe check their evs so you don't get confused. But they also changed some moves as you noticed. But cut is a move they changed to a steel type which always critical hits
HOODLUM SCRAFTY?!
There is some minor bugs, I've encountered. Usually about the speed of pokemon
Toxic was probably my favorite move in this game until things started getting too out of hand
I noticed that you can get the Pokemon throught the Dexnav, there's an option to catch the Pokemon or the entirety of the Dexnav (on the route / field only) so it saves a whole lot of time rather than going in the grass.
Any particular reason you don't catch your Pokemon from there ?
to get shiny
I always knew H-Zorua was the goat
If you ever use the Applin and evolve it to Appletun, can you name it Fritter?
Bro can you give me the pre patched mediafire link of Pokemon fused green I love that game I want to download it but I can't download discord and from the mega one
Pokemon needs to step up their games on abilities. These guys made a better use for stall
Glad you're back. Don't worry that tik tok recipe is dangerous for anyone
Bless you cal
I think it’s when you get the mega bracelet you can fight/catch dewgong Edit:Bagon nickname will be Akira, gender don’t matter.
Finally someone made a mega scrafty!
I hope you get a shuckle. My favorite
great video!
so i did start playing this when the first episode dropped and every vid i'm watching i cant help but to feel like you are playing a different built then i was..
Also, i compleetely forgot that i effectively have a fakemon in this game, which caught me off guard when i encountered it in a battle.
I also missed the Sticky Web tbh... you get away with this one Callum. lmao
Also! Bless you !
come back to dewgong after norman, it comes with its mega stone and is pre stated out
bless you chat :3
In it for the long run and fan of the waffling 😊

Dammit I'm late again
