Speed stat is so important in these. If you’re fast, you can’t be walled as long as you have revives. Think of it like this, if you are running Alakazam and you run into Scizor with Megahorn, you outspeed use psychic, then it kills you. You revive, outspeed and kill it with the second hit. Something like snorlax, you could always run into something like cross chop Machamp. Basically, if they have a move that OHKO’s you, you can no longer make progress. But if you are faster, you can always find a way through the fight with revives. Even if you don’t consider the walling potential, the fact you are slower doubles the time every battle takes since your opponent will go first. As this is a speedrun, that’s really bad time loss
having a slow pokemon means you take a hit each turn. Even if it was only 1 damage each time it still means every battle takes almost twice as long to complete. Slow pokes cant be runable.
Thanks for the intros Shen, always brings a smile to my face

Actually infuriating how long Chris wanted a good main with Lugia access and never even bothered checking it.
That intro deserves more than 5.8k views in 9 days!
Best Intro ever! Like Ever !
They are doomed to never get sub 2 hours

Turns out Granbull Was probably the better choice

Snorlax is the best Pokémon in gen 2 tho who cares if it’s slow it hits like a truck
