Skyla: I have a triple battle! Shyguymask: I have a Wobbuffet! Seriously though, setting up perish song and switching to Wobbuffet to prevent Skyla's pokemon from switching was a genius strategy to defeat half of her team. Well done!
"For some reason, dunsparce is a haxorous magnet." I get the image of the dunsparce saying something nasty about the haxorous's mother, and the haxorous forcefully coming in to lay down the punishment.
It breaks singleplayer, but there are numerous ways to counter it in multiplayer/competitive to the point it's not actually considered very viable there.
Your dedication to these challenges are amazing. Just watched the whole thing, and although it did get easier towards the end, 193 hours not including resets is bonkers.
Just wanted to leave this comment saying I love how long you keep your text on your screen. It's the perfect amount of time for me to be able to read the text without it going away, and then me having to rewind the video to read the rest. Love your videos and keep up the amazing work! Also Blissey having 420 HP was very good and funny.
It's been a year, and I still come back to this once in a while This challenge is so, SO underrated. Each video of the challenge deserves to have some more like 200k views
MVP has gotta be either Gengar or Blissey, Gengar just nuked the big threats after cursing another for a 2 for 1, and Blissey handling every special attacking non poison or steel type. It's a tough call
I never thought that a total stall of a adventure to the end of the game would be so hype. Kudos to you, you mad lad! Blissey is 100% the mvp of the game as it is the best stallmon. I’m surprised you didn’t utilize the amoongus too, unless it didn’t have effect spore. But at least whimsicott and roserade got the spotlight UvU
I think either Gengar or Dusclops were the mvp here Gengar was the Destiny bond boi who was there for most of the play through Dusclops came in later but did some heavy lifting in some later fights
Rocky Helmet Ferrothorn was an integral part of my Pokémon Insurgence team. Especially in that part where you have to do a tough Inverse Battle where the ace is a Mega Kangaskhan. I know how useful this combined chip damage from contact moves must have been here.
Amoongus will never be seen the same way again. As for actual commentary, I sometimes wonder if you're some kind of masochist with how crazy some of these challenges get. Dunno if anything will ever top post-Moon Lord Calamity without movement keys tho. The drive to make this content is much appreciated
Throughout this playthrough I don't think there ever was an actual MVP, unless Butterfree being absolutely essential for the first trainer to be possible counts. All the pokemon throughout the entire playthrough had so many good plays and uses that trying to pick a favourite just feels plain wrong. The Audinos' indefinite stalling early, Ferrothorn and Blissey being nearly impervious to damage late, Roselia's toxic spikes, Wobbufet and Altaria wiping the triple battle, Whimsicott soloing half the league by itself, Dusclops significantly speeding up PP stalling, along with Golurk as the beefy curse stallers, Gengar taking almost every sweeper to the grave, while also being a less beefy curse boi, And every single pokemon which learned Leech Seed making the game that much easier to deal with. This playthrough was incredibly fun to watch.
@@gengarzilla1685 the AI of the trainers in the rom hack was modified to deal the most damage, regardless of the type advantage also if multiple moves can ko the AI will pick a random move
I’m afraid the answer is no. Pinwheel is just too hard! Experts say they might make a TAS that could with strategy and inputs precise enough by the year 2048.
you know what’s funny? Iris’s team in blaze black 2 could be swept away with some ice mons with the cards being chosen correctly. just imagine iris losing to brycen if he wasn’t a movie star
Her team went from having some interesting picks and actual resistances to Ice (Aggron and Lapras) to just being a full on Dragon wank like Lance's teams.
did anybody see that in the battle aginst Grimsley in his team that is shown at the down right corner he replaced zoroark by an among us character? (sorry for my english it is not my mother language)
Tip: after defeating Clay, go to the PWT and go to the righter side, you'll see two trainers with a Garchomp and an Aggron, the Garchomp guy is the EV grinder while the Aggron guy is the level grinder and allows you to grind without hassle for free. It's also only in the redux version
Well, at least you gave the Audinos a good ride until the end of the "first half" (first 4 badges) of the game, so I'll give credit where credit's due. Also, nice pick-up in Roserade too, knowing how good it is for this kind of challenge (with it's plethora of status moves)
obviously dunsparce mvp for real though i wound up repeating that porygon clip about twice because the hyper beam synced up with the music in such a cool way
10:17 Wow... I'd never in a million years think about using Perish Song, but... when I think about it, it makes so much sense. I do remember that, back in the day, Water Leader of Pokemon Online League was using Perish Song Lapras in X-Division: - challengers fight with her in Triple Battle - she knocked out three enemy Pokemon - then sent out Lapras; Perish Song and just three turns of switching in/out (if possible) and/or stalling No wonder she used to be Grand Champion of the said League at some point when POL existed.
There used to be a very infamous strategy on Mega Gengar. Think of the Altaria + Wobuffet strategy I used, but with one Pokemon having everything (Perish Song *AND* Shadow Tag)
@@Shyguymask Yeah... Unless one don't faint it fast... Mega Gengar is more fragile than tanky, but hits like a literal truck. I've played some Gen 6 and 7 OU online metagame
This playthrough was not only entertaining but it doubled as showing a bit of the mod, like having to fight the combined Zekrom and Kyurem or how Iris got friggin legendarys Still laughing at how pokestar studios screwed the run though Also both Audinos are my MVP choice because the stalling is really smart and creative
I'm thinking about something really uninteresting... Can you beat Skylanders Giants (or any other Skylanders game) nightmare mode with only one skylander ? (Starting at level 1 with no gold or upgrades, of course)
This challenge looks interesting, altough tbh i would only apply it to trainer and mandatory battles. Because i DON'T want to grind for hundreds of hours, just to beat every single trainer without attacking. And well, i haven't played B/W in a long while due to well... do any of you know if i can lose against N the first time and still be fine? That kind of challenges are fun, like the one where i defeated HG/SS without putting any mon in a pokeball (Remember the "Only mudkip" video? It's basically the same and it was actually really fast, like 10 hours of game and a lot of them included Voltorb minigame to get Swords dance and substitute, altough i was forced to wait until 15 march to get a reasonable chance of winning).
I love your content, but I must ask one simple thing, why whenever you do the speed-ups do you not just edit in the songs played during boss-fights or whatever at normal speed? Because alot of these soundtracks are really good, & in the certain cases like the Red fight in HG/SS could really make the final parts of the video all the more climatic
only got to clay the first time i played the game normally, and wew i hope uh iris havin bloody latios/as is just a thing in the rom hack. granted they didn't do a whole lot here but shig they prolly would normally. o and for mvp i'd prolly have to go with dunsparce. didn't do as much as some of the others sure but i didn't expect him to much as is, much less stop a friggin haxorus.
Wow, surprised you beat Grimsley when he had impostor All that aside, damn, this was incredibly fun to see happen, even if that grind was ridiculous, I can tell you dumped a bunch purely into this, especially with all the wacky strategies
_The Least Stally Showdown player!!!_ 😱😱😱
lol
Hmmm
yes. (probably)
There’s no toxapex so it’s not stall
-someone, probably
😭😭
Ferrothorn is hilarious,
"Hmm yes, This Physical attack is made of Super Effective"
Really poetic that a 2nd Stage Ghost type that also requires trading to evolve ends the run while fainting. Just like Haunter in the HGSS run
Skyla: I have a triple battle!
Shyguymask: I have a Wobbuffet!
Seriously though, setting up perish song and switching to Wobbuffet to prevent Skyla's pokemon from switching was a genius strategy to defeat half of her team. Well done!

ohh hi morgan
Hi Morgan!
The real Morgan?
Great. Can you give an example?
finally, the full smogon playthrough
real stall smogon players would run taunt on every mon to counter opposing taunts, do it again but with 3 moveslots
With their favourite mon ferrothorn and heavy use of subseed strategies. Lacks hazards though.
12:14 THIS IS IT FERROTHORN. THE LAST OF MY HAMON!!
that battle with Skyla was legendary, intresting stratigy, close call
Yeah, even I couldn't think of that strategy. SGM is Big Brain! But in all seriousness, you're dedication is incredible
28:32 Never new that the imposter from the hit game Amoung us was actually Grimsley's Pokemon all along
I hate you both, take my likes
I think Whimsicott was MVP, especially at the end game. SubSeed is such a powerful and effective strategy Jesus Christ.
It breaks singleplayer, but there are numerous ways to counter it in multiplayer/competitive to the point it's not actually considered very viable there.
@@Shyguymask Yeah, in multiplayer it's a sometimes-sometimes strat. Sometimes it would work and other times it won't.
@@Shyguymask Priority, multi-hit, Infiltrator ability
Just to name a few
@@Shyguymask Actually it is pretty viable in the 1v1 meta, you see Whimsicott all the time there
@@Oscarus4250 Whimsicott got prankster tho? so priority doesn't work right?
Your dedication to these challenges are amazing. Just watched the whole thing, and although it did get easier towards the end, 193 hours not including resets is bonkers.
Status moves only is one of my favorite challenge run ideas awesome work!

Holy shit that skyla battle strat was HYPE! I would have never thought of that! Good job
28:36 when the elite four is sus
MVP has gotta be either Gengar or Blissey, Gengar just nuked the big threats after cursing another for a 2 for 1, and Blissey handling every special attacking non poison or steel type. It's a tough call
28:31 I don’t think anyone caught onto this, but Zoroark got replaced by The Imposter due to getting outplayed.
It was the oppositw with me. I saw the impostor but I didn't realize that it was meaning to zoroark
when i saw the Impostor for some reason i thought he would have an Amoonguss but that wouldn't make any sense at all cause of the type
That elesa battle is literally just the representation of a stall player versus a volturn player
I never thought that a total stall of a adventure to the end of the game would be so hype. Kudos to you, you mad lad! Blissey is 100% the mvp of the game as it is the best stallmon. I’m surprised you didn’t utilize the amoongus too, unless it didn’t have effect spore. But at least whimsicott and roserade got the spotlight UvU
I wanted to use Amoongus, but Whimsicott stole the team slot since it had overall more uses with Substitute and Prankster.
I think either Gengar or Dusclops were the mvp here
Gengar was the Destiny bond boi who was there for most of the play through
Dusclops came in later but did some heavy lifting in some later fights
Seeing ferrothorn brings pain to my eyes, ESPECIALLY in rain teams
That Golurk went through some troubling times. Surprised all that damage didn’t kill him.
Iris’ challenge mode team is so funny to me. She just casually has both a Latios and Latias and no one in the League has seemed to question it
“And if you’re a stall player,don’t expect too much sympathy”
I guess that statement is now incorrect
No way! I'm totally in 11:43, it's such an honor!
Congrats man
Gotta say Blissey was the MVP, from early on played a big roll and even later it continued to do so.
28:32 Haha, I didn't know Black was a part of Grimsley's team. Looks kinda sus, to be honest.
When the shiny is sus
REEEEEEEEEEEEE
why
Sussus Amoonguss
Among us
Amoong uss
Amoonguss
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
I love how you replaced zoroark with the imposter from among us. It’s very fitting for the pokemon

Shoutout to the Audinos at the start of the run, PP stalling enemies into oblivion
Rocky Helmet Ferrothorn was an integral part of my Pokémon Insurgence team. Especially in that part where you have to do a tough Inverse Battle where the ace is a Mega Kangaskhan. I know how useful this combined chip damage from contact moves must have been here.
Can I just call for appreciation of Black/White 2's differentiated gym tracks? It's so frikkin good
I legit forgot that I was in 2x speed for half the video.
30:59 Iris is a hacker confirmed.
33:40 I'm gonna say ferrothorn overall, altough Blissey and Whimsicott also did an amazing job.
Amoongus will never be seen the same way again. As for actual commentary, I sometimes wonder if you're some kind of masochist with how crazy some of these challenges get. Dunno if anything will ever top post-Moon Lord Calamity without movement keys tho. The drive to make this content is much appreciated
Dang, I never knew about that subseed strat. That's insane.
Also, gotta love the shiny sus pokemon
Throughout this playthrough I don't think there ever was an actual MVP, unless Butterfree being absolutely essential for the first trainer to be possible counts.
All the pokemon throughout the entire playthrough had so many good plays and uses that trying to pick a favourite just feels plain wrong.
The Audinos' indefinite stalling early,
Ferrothorn and Blissey being nearly impervious to damage late,
Roselia's toxic spikes,
Wobbufet and Altaria wiping the triple battle,
Whimsicott soloing half the league by itself,
Dusclops significantly speeding up PP stalling, along with Golurk as the beefy curse stallers,
Gengar taking almost every sweeper to the grave, while also being a less beefy curse boi,
And every single pokemon which learned Leech Seed making the game that much easier to deal with.
This playthrough was incredibly fun to watch.
these are easily some of my favorite challenges - status move challenge is unique and it’s fun to keep rewatching
30:28 Haxorus went for outrage beacuse 120*1.5(stab) = 180 and super effective break break is 150 (i think it's base 75)
I've never seen the AI take advantage of STAB when it makes a move stronger than super effective coverage.
@@gengarzilla1685 the AI of the trainers in the rom hack was modified to deal the most damage, regardless of the type advantage also if multiple moves can ko the AI will pick a random move

I’m afraid the answer is no. Pinwheel is just too hard!

That Perish song strategy was insane!
The reason why Hax went for Outrage instead of Brick Break is because after STAB Outrage is stronger than a x2 super effective Brick Break
Imagine if one of the trainers had Taunt
oh shi-
Kinda wish there was a trainer with taunt now. Still could have gone around it with pp stalling tho.
@@lukebytes5366 if the opponent uses Taunt, you can only switch (if possible). If not, challenge failed
