TOP 10 MVPs in Pokémon Stadium N64 | Best Pokemon For Clearing ALL FOUR CUPS of Pokémon Stadium
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Welcome to the Channel,
Today we are counting down the TOP 10 MVPs (Most Valuable Pokemon aka the Best) for clearing the four cups:
Pika Cup (Level 15-20) Petit Cup (Basic & Small Level 25-30)
Poke Cup (Level 50-55) and Prime Cup (Level 100)
These are the Pokemon that will get you the MOST bang for your buck with the strongest stats and best move capacity... in other words, you could pretty much only capture and raise these 10 Pokemon, with the right TMs and Celadon supplements, and that would be good enough to get you through ALL of the tournaments, even on Round 2 Master Ball difficulty.
Thanks for watching!

man, love all these Stadium highlights... nostalgic AF
Awesome video bro. One of my top 3 on N64
Thanks, Chase! Did you get through all these cups?
Yay, Starmie! 🌟
“Hyuahh!!” “Hooooo!”
@@MarMaxGaming I almost commented that, but it was hard to put into words how that Pokémon sounds… it’s like a kung fu master?? LOL.
I thought you were tricking me and starmie wasn’t gonna be on a list!
I was able to clear the switch port of this with the rental Pokemon, even the R2 version of Stadium. I think Jynx might be one of the single best Pokemon you can bring as far as rentals go, in pretty much every format she is allowed in. She has a sleep inducing move in Lovely Kiss, and has all the benefits of a Psychic type in Gen 1... and then she's an Ice type on top of it. Psychic as a move is too good on its own, that 30% chance to drop Special stat. Ice Punch is probably the worst Ice type move to have in terms of power, but because it benefits from same type attack bonus it gets the job done. Ice Punch also has a chance to freeze, which only happened once for me during that recent playthrough. That's another thing, Jynx might be one of the only Pokemon that can both put things to sleep and freeze them, and both of those status effects are so strong in Gen 1 they had to put a clause on them in the rule sets. I normally don't post but I figured this would be for anyone wondering or watching who is trying to clear the game on the Switch now, since there's no way to use trained Pokemon via transfer pack.
Very nice! I recently heard of people using Jynx from the rental pokemon, I bet you also abused the save states with Lovely Kiss too? 🤣 because that’s what the other dude was saying in this N64 group. Those elemental punches are really cool, I always wanted my Pokémon to have them even if they weren’t super strong. I remember liking Magmar and Electabuzz for their punch animations haha congrats on getting through the whole Pokémon Stadium and becoming a Pokémon master!
@@MarMaxGaming Haha, well I only save stated a couple times before battles I was actually afraid to lose all the continues. Lovely Kiss is 75% accuracy I think? Not too bad. Relearning the Gen 1 mechanics, I think one of the most surprising things to learn was that Dig is actually 100 power like Earthquake. Partial trapping with Toxic/Leech Seed only really works on the opponents last Pokemon too, otherwise they'll switch out. It made some of the rentals not as bad as I thought. They are definitely outclassed by the AI pokemon though, they have way better stats and DVs not to mention movesets... the cheesy strats are almost necessary. Still its fun to play a game without hold items, abilities etc. I love this game, thanks for the content! I enjoyed the video!
Good Idea.
That's some great info especially about Starmie in early levels
Love this video!
You should do an entire compendium.
Go through each and every pokemon via Pokemon Stadium for Gen1 and talk about their move pools, stats, typings and all the different ways you can battle with them and use them in fights.
Then do a new comprehensive list of each and every pokemon via Pokemon Stadium 2 for both Gen 1 pokemon AND Gen 2 pokemon, doing the same again but taking into account the changes to the battling meta between the two Gens!
I'd probably watch every episode!
These are greats ideas! As much as I would love to do that, realistically it would take quite a bit of time and I don’t have generation 2 down quite like I do with gen 1…
Also, talking about every single Pokémon isn’t something I’m willing to tackle, I’ll leave that to the most die hard. A Top 10 MVPs of Pokémon Stadium 2, maybe. I’m glad you loved the video!
There are 120 others on the channel, I hope you find something you enjoy ⭐️🏆
Jynx is an honorable mention
I leaned heavy on Tauros and Jolteon trying to clear everything back in the day. Starmie is a beast for sure though, and Mewtwo is almost necessary for some of that Gym leader tower. Great video, thanks for the memories.
Comment for the algorithm. Don't have anything to say about Pokémon as I'm indifferent and never got into the franchise. Just not my thing, unfortunately.
Still a good vid though, Jeff. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎮🔥
Congrats on hitting 3k subs, bro!!
You’re the man! I remember that about you and I was like dang it, hopefully he will like an upcoming game! I’m still working on Blast Corps but trying to throw some out there I know I can do and are a bit more trendy / popular right now. I honestly can’t wait for some gnarly 8 bit and 16bit challenges in the future. Hopefully I’ll be done with one of the videos in a week or two. Thank you so much for supporting me since the very beginning
Yeah, some of those I didn't use them, but pretty much spot on the best pokemon to beat the entire game, one thing I could mention about Mewtwo is that you can mix-up Substitute (the AI is soooo very predictable when they try to do a stat ailment attack like Thunder Wave, which pretty much you'll see almost all battles in Round 2) along with Amnesia and Recover and just stick with a full PP-UP Psychic to pretty much swarm every other Pokemon in Gym Leader Castle and Prime Cup (not so much against Round 2 Mewtwo, but still helps).
It took me 17 almost 20 years to beat pokemon stadium using only rentals. Pokemon Stadium was by far the most difficult pokemon game I've ever played, and I've played most of them for Gameboy color, advance, ds, 3ds, GameCube, wii and switch. Pokemon Stadium was the hardest.
Dang!! I can only imagine how tough that was… what did your rental teams look like?? That’s an amazing accomplishment, man… I bet you’ve seen a lot of heartbreak over the years!
@@MarMaxGaming I used a variety of rentals throughout the game. The problem with Pokemon Stadium, is that the AI cheats, moving twice in a row, the one hit KO moves fail 99% of the time but when the opponent uses them it almost always hits. The hardest part of the game for me was the gym leader castle, with the elite four being incredibly easy but Sabrina and Giovanni a pain in the ass. The Mewto battle was pretty easy, I used Electrode, Gengar, Alakasam, Venasaur, Starmi and Slowbro .
Man, this game was so fun (Pokémon in general)
Reminds me of being a wee ickle tyke lol, I rented it from blockbuster
Who were your best teams for the four cups?? (15-20, 25-30 small basics, 50-55, and 100)
I’d genuinely love to hear about peoples’ teams!!
I can't remember 100% the team my bros and I used back in the day, aside of Abra and Gastly for Petit Cup, Alakazam in both Poke and Pika Cup, and Mewtwo in Prime Cup+Gym Leader Castle, so I'll try to mention some of the Pokemon:
Petit: Charmander (pretty much with Dragon Rage), Dratini (again, Dragon Rage), Diglett (the other 2 pretty much were whenever we felt like to use), Pika: Jolteon (fast pokemon overall), Starmie (the other 3 whatever we felt to use), Poke: Gengar (pretty much like Gastly in Petit... for the most part in my case I used it to go out with a BANG!!! if the situation wasn't much in Gengar's favor), Dugtrio, Lapras, Jynx (not so good in defense but still), Electrode (very fast pokemon). Prime and Gym Leader... whatever we wanted to make Mewtwo company, my bros. for the most part used the starters (minus Pikachu), me almost always Mew and Pikachu along with whatever I felt to use in the other 3 slots (for the most part the Legendary Birds or Nidoking).
Now that if you have access to Gen 2 games or you know how to use the 'M (the one that pretends to be Charizard in Red and Blue, not the one that looks like Red/Blue MissingNo.) or it's counterpart in Yellow known as "Q", you can make busted stuff, like you can use a Hitmonchan with that glitch to let Abra, Kadabra and/or Alakazam have the elemental punches (or of course, pass those to/or from the Gen 2 games with the moves learned with the TMs) and they will wreck the competition easily making most worst cases a 2-hit KO (Petit and Pika Cup get veeeeeeery trivialized that way, Poke Cup not that much but still is busted in that challenge too, my suggestion in that case is to let it keep either Fire or Ice Punch only to complement Psychic and maybe Substitute for the predictable AI when they try to Thunder Wave and of course, Recover).
Also, while taking glitches and/or Gameshark shenanigans in the equation... I find it very stupid that Pika Cup has the same Pokemon selection as Poke Cup (granted that some of those can only be used with a GB game, but still... I think that was a programing oversight, as I think you can see a Rhydon and a Dragonite in Round 2 Pika Cup at the AI side).
I adore Pokemon Stadium so this was such a treat to watch. A lot of these Pokemon are ones I came to using as well while experimenting across all of the cups in round 2. Same with Gym Leader Castle. Nothing here I would necessarily dispute, though I think Exeggutor and Snorlax are absolutely worth mentioning. Exeggutor is my preferred psychic-type in all the major cups and I think if you catch an Exeggcute in Yellow then it will be low enough level to get it into Pika Cup. Exeggutor has incredible stats across the board combined with key resistances to ground and psychic. I like using it against other psychic types since it will tank their attacks and hit back with its good physical attack stat. Plus it can cripple things like Alakazam with Stun Spore. It's so strong and has quite a bit of versatility when it comes to its moveset. Snorlax is just a beast in every sense of the word. I used an Amnesia set with it and it had so many moments where it utterly demolished the competition in Poke and Prime Cup as well as Gym Leader Castle. Amnesia, Rest and its massive HP stat will ensure that it basically lives forever as long as you don't get unlucky with critical hits.
Definitely agree with you on Starmie. It really is obscenely powerful in this game. So much so that I have gone out of my way to not include it on any of my teams. With Starmie you do so many battles on autopilot. It almost invalidates the purpose of other Pokemon on your team with how much Starmie can do entirely by itself. If anyone wanted to get through as much of the game as possible without having to put in too much work across the board, then planning around Starmie is the way to go. It will take down the Pika, Poke and Prime Cups with little resistance. It will also handle the Gym Leader Castle just as well. It may not hit as hard as Alakazam, but the sheer variety in moves it can use more than makes up for that difference. Even the poor rental Starmie saw a lot of use in nearly all the cups when I was trying to win with those Pokemon. The thing is busted.
I think one of the major keys to having success in Pokemon Stadium is being able to spread paralysis. It is an incredibly powerful status condition in this game particularly. Especially since they have dramatically nerfed how the sleep status works in Stadium compared to RBY. It's no wonder why seeing paralyzing moves is so common from the enemy movesets. It will make your own Pokemon that much more consistent when you can paralyze certain threats. It's so powerful that I have taken to teaching some of my Pokemon the Substitute TM. Substitute is actually god-like in Stadium. It doesn't work well in RBY but here it will block everything that you need it to. You will never have to worry about Thunder Wave, Stun Spore, Hypnosis, Confuse Ray and all those kind of moves. The AI doesn't play well around Substitute at all. Even if they know you have that move, they will still go for status attacks as long as they don't have a move that will KO you. As such I've had excellent success by using Substitute on fast Pokemon like Charizard, Jolteon and Gengar. Charizard specficially got a ton of mileage out of it since it was afforded so many opportunities to set up Swords Dance. Similarly to Snorlax, Charizard also demolished many round 2 battles for me and there were even a few instances of it pulling off 1 v 3 situations. I've had it beat a Dragonite 1 on 1 which was crazy. Of course, you can expect Substitute to make Pokemon like Starmie and Alakazam/Abra to be borderline untouchable. It's certainly something worth experimeting with.
I loved watching this video. I felt the same with your first video on Pokemon Stadium too. It's just one of my all time favorite N64 games alongside Goldeneye, Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. The connectivity between it and the Gameboy games is a unique experience that I treasure immensely. Though ironically I haven't done much for Pokemon Stadium 2 yet. I feel like I have a lot of gen 1 figured out but not so much for gen 2. I have heard that Stadium 2 is even harder so that will be interesting to take on in the future.
Wow! This was awesome pokemon discussion right here! You’re so right, Snorlax with Amnesia and Rest is crazy.. Exeggutor, I had him for a while on my 50-55 team and he was definitely helpful!
I didn’t realize how potent substitute could be in stadium against the CPUs, that’s crazy!
Playing Stadium when I was younger definitely showed me how dangerous and bad paralysis was!
It sounds like you’ve spent quite a bit of time on the gameboy tower yourself, at Doduo & Dodrio speeds?? Crazy how much you have to keep playing over and over for certain TMs, I had a game that I reset at least 8 times after getting Thunderbolt from Lt. Surge lol so many grinds through the elite four for money to buy the Celadon supplements!
Pokémon Stadium 2, I beat that game as well with honestly a lot of the same Pokémon but the only difference was that I had to rent somebody to answer against the new Dark types! The hardest or most annoying thing about Pokémon Stadium 2 is its RANDOM level 5 cup where it generates your party for you… so you don’t get to pick, which means you are going to waste a ton of time on bad attempts unless you reset several times for a decent team! I’m glad we could bond over some Pokémon Stadium, bro! I also adore it.. the audio video always bring me back
@@MarMaxGaming Haha, I have spent an ungodly amount of time at the Dodrio tower. I didn't want to use the item duplication glitches so I did do some amount of resetting for TMs. Though in my case I minimized it by using only one team for the Poke/Prime Cups and Gym Leader Castle. I used my in-game Red team for those cups which consisted of Charizard, Nidoking, Raichu, Snorlax, Exeggutor and Lapras. They handled round 2 without issue. Definitely needed to do some extra resetting for Petit and Pika cups though. Those additional runs would at least go far as making it past Rock Tunnel which would include getting Thunderbolt from Surge, Ice Beam in Celadon and Psychic in Saffron. I ended up trying to avoid having to use Earthquake, Fire Blast and Blizzard since they are later into the game. Admittedly Earthquake isn't really that late, but I found Dig to be an acceptable alternative.
More of that time was spent just training my teams. It is always really interesting how you end up training in different ways according to which cup you are going for. Like the Poke Cup for instance incentivizing that you buff your Pokemon as much as they possibly can without going past the level 50-55 range. Getting the money for the vitamins definitely pays off big time in that regard. Of course, the vitamins are even more potent in the Petit and Pika cups where the Pokemon are low enough level that they risk leveling up too quickly while training traditionally. Though I am thankful that the Gym Leader Castle simply adjusts to your highest level Pokemon so you will never be disqualified from participating in that mode. The team registration feature across all modes helps a ton too.
Those dark types must be pretty tricky since they have fairly esoteric weaknesses. I remember having a lot of trouble with Karen's Umbreon in GSC because of that. Her Houndoom was really scary too. It's cool knowing that you have beaten Pokemon Stadium 2 as well. I think I remember that random mode in question being the Challenge Cup. I do like the idea of it. Asking the trainer to adapt on the fly to using a bunch of random Pokemon is an interesting concept. Though I can definitely see it being more frustrating than anything if the game consistently gives you bad luck. Also, I totally feel you on the audio/video for Stadium. The various arrangements for the music of RBY are all so good. The gym leader fight theme is especially awesome. It's all amplified by how hype the announcer can get sometimes. Even the sound effects are phenomenal. The crashing sound of a Pokemon using Thunder sounds like a planet being destroyed. It's amazing.
How do you play Pokémon yellow on the Nintendo switch??
Yup, the AI is really bogus when it comes to Substitue shenanigans by the player side, Starmie, the Abra Pokemon line, Mew (to some extent) and Mewtwo are very busted that way, as the AI (unless your Pokemon's HP is low enough for them) prioritize status ailment moves like Thunder Wave to the point that once you know they have those, you can manipulate the AI to waste their turns while you slowly buff or go bonkers against their pokemon (also really go in situations they can go out with a BANG!!!, as there's nothing more cool that see the AI get salty with their Exploison or Selfdestruct misses), also you depending on your setups, you might can go with stalling poison (Toxic) strats, especially with the trainers that abuse Double Team/Minimize as sooner or later you'll force them to switch pokemon (this also removes the Toxic flag on the Poisoned status, but they lose their evasion buffs on the bright side... especially if your Pokemon has good moves to deal with the rival) or if it's their last one, you can have a guaranted way to deal damage even if your normal attacks misses a lot.
awesome video
Thank you!!
@@MarMaxGaming hopes this video blows up if/when the gameboy games come to switch online. people are gonna scramble to make content that won’t end up half as good as this lol you are ahead of the game 🤘
@@GRIM0IREG00CH heck yeah, man… I hope you’re right! I wanted to make something with more detail about Pokémon Stadium for years and I just didn’t know how to cover it, I wasn’t sure I should talk through the entire game… thank goodness for the Top 10 format!
@@MarMaxGaming I bet Pokémon Stadium content would be perfect for UA-cam shorts. You could probably repurpose a lot of the footage used here to make individual shorts for each Pokémon. Like a “Stadium Spotlight” for each Pokémon lol I’ve been make some shorts for sonic adventure 2 battle on my channel Golden Time Jack, and the amount of engagement I’ve seen is surprising for a new channel like mine. With an audience of your size, I bet you can crush it with UA-cam shorts 🤘
@@GRIM0IREG00CH ah shorts, they are a brewing thing, but we just made one… luckily a friend that’s really good with short form helped me, it’s about when I ran and played battletoads at the same time outside. You should see it!
There's no way I could've gotten thru Round 2 without using the duplicate TMs trick in Red/Blue. Spamming Psychic, TBolt, and Blizzard/Ice Beam felt like easy mode even with suboptimal Pokemon.
For sure, that Cinnabar island 6th item trick was insanely important… I didn’t know about it until a few playthroughs unfortunately.
I wish it were as simple as good moves on the highest difficulty bc I had, what I thought, were decent pokemon loaded with hard hitting moves like Cloyster, Charizard, Hypno, Raichu (that knew surf!) and they were all completely full of the Celadon supplements but even still, they just couldn’t get it all done! I had to tap into a stronger team. If you can remember, I’d love to hear about your teams!
@@MarMaxGaming I had most of your list mons, but I also used Gengar, Exeggutor, and Dewgong (just for fun) for the higher levels. In the lower level cups, anything with Dragon Rage and Sonic Boom was OP. They banned those moves in Stadium 2 since it was so ridiculous!
@@spoonflaps12 oh wow, i didn’t know they banned that in Pokémon stadium 2! I played through Stadium 2 pretty much with these teams, the only awkward part was of course dark Pokémon standing in the way of Mewtwo sometimes if Thunderbolt didn’t make sense, and for a time I had Blizzard on Mewtwo as well, which helped sometimes too. I think that would make a good video.. can your Pokémon stadium teams roll right into Pokémon Stadium 2 through all cups without any adjustments at all. That’s kinda sick, I’m going to have to see if all my teams are still saved on there.
It’s cool to hear about which Pokémon people roll with to get through the challenges, nice choices!
@@MarMaxGaming Sonic Boom and Dragon Rage ONLY got banned in Little Cup (as the Pokemon hardly have more than 20HP so that would be guaranted 2-hit KO from Sonic Boom at worst and an instant KO with Dragon Rage), also... in Yellow Version (or non USA Red and Blue versions), you can still get the 6th item trick but is a little more convoluted as you need a Pokemon on your team with a special status of 182 to 184 with the "extended Mew glitch" (you know, the one that also involves a Ditto transforming in one of your pokes to copy the Special status for the Pokemon you want to spawn) to spawn either a Kabutos Fossil/Aerodactyl Fossil/Ghost MissingNo. , as the "regular" MissingNo. in Yellow almost always crashes the game and has a high chance to destroy your save-data (the other 3 variants I mention are 105% stable and you get the advantage of the 6th slot item without harming your save-data).
Dope my guy.
YES! starmie is so underrated in general. hes essential to almost every team in this game. so fast, so powerful and so versatile
A serious Swiss Army knife with great moves!!
12:50 Lmao 'Moltrash'
Haha! Yeah those computer opponents had some really goofy patterns for their nicknames… Moltrash is hilarious!
Really nostalgic video
The awesome music, sound effects, and the graphics of Pokémon Stadium really bring it all back! Love seeing & hearing the moves with the roar of the crowd and major enthusiasm from the announcer!
Tauros, Chansey, and Slowbro are worth mentioning as well. Tauros is notorious for being a monstrous physical attacker in gen 1 with base 110 speed and 100 attack, access to body slam, hyper beam and earthquake. It destroys any low defense pokemon.
Chansey has the highest HP in the game alonh with a very high special stat and access to softboiled, thunderbolt, blizzard, thunder wave, and fire blast. Its power is amazing.
Slowbro albeit slow, has great special stats, access to amnesia, surf, psychic, thunder wave and rest. Its ability to snowball out of control is nothing short of awesome.
Excellent mentions! Those are super strong and valuable Pokémon. Really enjoyed reading this, it’s always awesome to talk about this stuff.. Snorlax is also really amazing with high HP, special, and amnesia. Thanks for watching bro!
Glad you did! I really enjoyed your video. Even after years I'm still experimenting on both pokemon stadium games.
Having a level 20 Alakazam is super broken in Pika cup. It can solo the entire cup on its own in both rounds, if you give it ice punch and thunderpunch and trade it back to a gen 1 game.
Shout-out to my boi Gengar.
Gengar is a great ‘mon! Nice speed and special for sure… I have great appreciation for his earliest form, Gastly, in the Petit cup!
na he weak and annoyin
Charizard didn't make your list, but is still #1 in my heart. Great video, absolutely loved this game. So many hours played here.
Haha Believe me, I tried to make Charizard my level 55 in the 50-55 cup for a long time, in the same team as Hypno, Cloyster, Raichu, Exeggutor, etc… just had to do research and make a change unfortunately, bc they just wouldn’t get it done 😭 thank you!
@@MarMaxGaming Chansey and Lickitung were always my heavy hitters.
@@AlexMartiniGuitar they had great moves for sure, with them being able to learn just about anything… only problem on the higher levels is that they’re slow and can’t quite go toe to toe with the really strong guys, unless you go the long strategy with Chansey and keep using minimize & softboiled, crossing your fingers until your opponents can’t hit you 😅 did you get through this game? I’d love to hear about your team if you remember
@@MarMaxGaming I think my team was Charizard, Raichu, Vaporeon, Chansey, Dragonite and Lickitung. I remember specifically grinding those guys out via the game boy add-on that let you play via Pokemon stadium and many many many passes of the elite four to get them where I wanted them to be in order to win.
@@AlexMartiniGuitar hell yeah. What a bad ass team 🔥🔥 great job, bro! You’re not kidding about the grinding, like my gosh… and replaying multiple times for certain TMs?! That’s awesome… sounds like we’d have some epic 50-55 battles ourselves! 🥳
This game will put hair on your chest.
Starmie is that guy. My tried and true team was and is
Charizard
Zapdos
Mew
Mewtwo
Golem
Starmie
Honorable mention: Hypno (He's pretty tanky)
You got the perfect moveset on Starmie too that I use now
On my first walkthrough i had him with thunder, thunderbolt, surf and hydropump cause I was paranoid lol
That’s a cool team with some great Pokémon, I like that line up! I had Golem on my 50-55 team, he’s clutch for those certain match ups. Hypno is decent but I had to replace him with Alakazam bc he just wasn’t strong and fast enough when it came down to the toughest matches
Great list. Arcacine is a beast in the Level 15 Cup.
Because of any cheat one of my boxes chrashed and now I have a Raichu called Rapidash with Fire Storm and Horn Drill :)
Fire storm? Is this a newer game? That’s pretty unique and funny for sure
@@MarMaxGaming Sorry Fire Blast. It happened on Pokemon Stadium 2 but you can switch it to 1
@@marcovagt7222 Pokémon with Gen 2 moves are not usable in the first Pokémon stadium, since they’re not animated or in their code at all, just a heads up!
Gyarados is Water/Flying because it's based on a Koinobori, a windsock with the patterns of a koi/carp (what Magikarp and Gyarados are)
Only if it could learn FLY as a flying type, am I right? Haha… seems like a basic requirement
Mewtwo without Amnesia in Gen 1 is really insane. Amnesia makes Mewtwo practically unbeatable.
@@nikofoonk I agree, when I was younger I didn’t value the in battle stat boosters but the match with Pokémon Stadium’s Mewtwo makes you realize how incredibly powerful it is!
Pika cup: Starmie and Tauros can smash anyone in R2. Petit Cup: Agree with you there, Abra and Ghastly. In Poke and Prime Cup, my go-tos were Starmie, Exeggutor, Gengar, Zapdos and Tauros (when not using Mew/Mewtwo). Some bias towards Gengar as he was my favourite admittedly, but Gengar's stats were pretty damn good and can more than stand his ground.
Right away when you said Starmie & Tauros, I couldn’t help but think of that awesome image of the Poke Cup.
Great teams and discussion! I considered an honorable mention, some more belong in the discussion like Gengar, Snorlax, Tauros… thanks for watching and commenting bro!
You didn't just put Starmie on No. 1!
It was always my favourite back then!
So valuable across 3 / 4 cups with such a great move pool and options, simply a must! That’s awesome, good choice! 🌟
Man I hate that I was never able to use any other Pokémon other than rental, I still have my N64 and game and a transfer pack I think.
Could I still be able to play the intended way now?
@@ROBGT-kl7lu if it all works, I don’t see why not!
Now try with just rentals lol
Talk about a pain.. I’ve seen the world record speedrun with rentals (not all of it because it’s like 8+ hours) but even with the most optimized teams, the guy died several times on the 50-55 cup just crossing his fingers for critical hits in order to get through… I don’t want those issues
@@MarMaxGaming lol I’m playing it again on the Switch and using Save States and even then I’m having issues on R-2
Fantastic list! I'm about to take this challenge myself, but If you don't mind may I ask for some advice? Is using vitamins enough or is it necessary to train Stat Exp. all the way? Also, how do I go about acquiring all those TMs? From what I gather, most of the valuable ones can only be obtained once unless I'm missing something...
Thanks, Adam! Good luck with the challenge! To answer your questions, it did take some time.. I put together these teams when I was younger. I spent a lot of time grinding the elite four for money to buy the Celadon supplements. And for the TMs, I actually did use a 2nd game to continuously play up until certain parts, like Lt. Surge for Thunderbolt, and getting to Celadon City for Ice Beam.
At some point, I did become aware of the Cinnabar Island glitch that allows your to multiply the 6th item in your inventory. So, you can use that to multiply your TMs.. and also use it to multiply items for selling to make buying the supplements much faster too.
@@MarMaxGaming Got it, thanks! I'm not too keen on exploiting a glitch to get what I need, so multiple playthroughs it's going to have to do. It'll take a while, but I'm patient. Thanks so much 🙂
@@adamadore15 no problem, let me know how it goes! Believe me, I felt the same way. At least gameboy tower has speeds you can unlock, I HIGHLY recommend using the 2x and 4x speeds… I’m all for enjoying a game with multiple playthroughs, but you’re not gonna want to play past the third gym like 12 times… lol. Not to mention TMs that you get later in the game, like Psychic, Blizzard, Earthquake… I also have a lot of patience, I use that to get through hard games and make videos BUT as I’ve gotten older, I realize how precious time is… and if I can avoid wasting like 50-60+ hours replaying a game and pressing A, that does mean a lot! I played for Thunderbolt probably 5 times, Ice Beam a few times too, Psychic and Earthquake once, so maybe 10 hours or so for those.
Would you ever consider using moves outside of gen 2? Or is that cheating?
This is Gen 1, the game won’t allow Gen 2 moves… although, you can teach unusual Gen 1 moves in Gen 2 like Alakazam could be taught the elemental punches and then traded back.. the moves will be highlighted in pink font, but usable, which is super interesting.
@@MarMaxGaming I was meaning the transfer moves that are available in Gen 1 but some Pokemon can’t learn in that generation.
@@meddagoat yeah Gen 2 moves are not animated in stadium 1
What was Arcanine's move pool again?
In Gen 1 Growlithe could learn moves like bite, double edge, roar, flamethrower… but Arcanine is most valuable in the lower level cup with Fire Blast, Dig.. his attack is really high, so hyper beam would be good too. For a full move pool, you just have to google Gen 1 move set for them.
Is there any rewards for beating round 2?
Only the virtual trophies displayed, in all their glory! Haha.. and the credits.. but yeah nothing unlocked
Amnesia Psyduck.
@@nikofoonk you don’t get Amnesia Psyduck unless you fill out all 150-151 Pokémon in the Hall of Fame… which takes a very, very long time. My younger brother and I did it trying to get 4 new Pokémon in with each team we took through the Elite 4 of gym leader castle. We used Mewtwo & Mew, but before that we tried Mewtwo & Zapdos or Articuno to carry 4 others through each time. It took a very long time.
