Love Pokemon, religiously played any game I could get my hands on for whichever system growing up. Got addicted to Showdown during undergrad too. Never caught up with the Mons past like Black/White 2, so seeing Eastern Arcanine and a Tortonator (sick) is shocking lol. Wish I could easily binge through all the games I missed and catch up, even the open world Switch game had me nostalgic. I'd still play Emerald all over again, to this DAY
I've been loving watching this series, super entertaining to see you grind it out. I haven't seen but has a heart scale been used on Dumpling's HP IV yet? Because it would take it from 0 to 31 so would make the most out of using a scale. Loving the content
Heart scales are a super important and limited resource so it's probably not worth scaling hp unless there's a specific fight that you need it to say play around a crit. Scaling U-turn on archeops is a much better option because that move is broken on such a fast and strong guy
He doesn’t do it in his main channel videos (or blurs it) but he does on guest appearances or stream. Kinda similar to how Mr Beast never ever even considers swearing on main channel vids but is happy to do it anywhere else.
I used to run a jank Archeops in friendly singles in the Gen V/VI days. I'd use Archeops with a Sitrus Berry and Head Smash. Max HP and Attack EVs, and ideally a Jolly Archeops. Basically, first turn you use a STAB Head Smash, which momentarily confuses the opposing player, because even though it's almost a guaranteed OHKO, it's also a waste of an Archeops and not the standard kit. Then the Sitrus Berry activates, and Acrobatics is full strength. It's a shame Archeops is in one of those awkward positions of having a terrible base ability.
in run and bun having a 4x weakness is surprisingly useful since it lets you "force" the opponents next move a lot of the time leading to really good pivot options.
@ericfredette7406 honestly that applies to competitive singles to a degree too. Made me wonder why a lot of good Pokemon happened to have 4x weaknesses (Heatran and Landorus for example)
@@djprice1856 toxic wouldnt do enough damage to get it below half health. needs at least 3 turns. and even then you would die off the first if not second attack. hit toxic survive the first attack use protect he is still above half health and then protect will fail as it cannot be used 2 turns in a row so his second hit there would kill you thus losing the fight. so no toxic wouldn't let you win. and I'm saying this based off it being a 1v1. if it isn't then that's different. set up with the first pokemon and then stall until toxic kill him. also toxic spikes spikes and the rock trap would make it so every enemy after gets fucked.
props to the editor who does these videos. Also i like that Smant walks through every decision and explains why hes doing it during the battle
That’s just how all nuzlockes work
i'm so glad we are close to being caught up with the stream, when we just started with this series on youtube i was terrified of spoilers
Never watched a VOD like this before but I saw my boy Archeops in the thumbnail and had to tune in. The Defeatist reigns supreme! 🦅
This whole run has been interesting to watch. I’ve only watched via these edited VODs that I’m so grateful for.

I'd say Frisk is worse than Intimidate since you already know which items the trainers have
For a second, I thought you said Frysk, and I was wondering why you hate the Frisian language.

keep your tricks to yourself, don't tell us mf
the most use of a scale is when it helps you win a fight or have a safe line in a fight you youldn't have otherwise had
0:43 I dont know why, but it feels so unnatural to hear smant say fuck that casually

1 special defense? Bro passes out at yo mama jokes
First time ever hearing smallant say a bad word
nah facts i think it's cause he keeps his main channel family friendly usually
Call me asparagus.
Please tell me someone told him Tamale isn't a pepper... Or a chile. The poor Canadian has had an America in between him and Mexico's rich cuisine.
Latinx food is overrated
Archeops is my favourite pokemon, so I had come check this out
that's a surprising amount of use a bug/steel Pokémon is getting in a fire gym

Never fear, Roc is here
What so when was this stream? Ive only watched his RB run in these vod forms?
omg! I did see part of this live!
I refuse to fall for any bait of didni calc that. Man did it like 20 times in the vod. Im immune to it at this point
Me whenever he yells "oh no!!!" 😐
How far behind is the vod chanel on this run?
Where did you get the calculator for this game? Im assuming it is custom made
Does anyone know how hes playing these games ? with an emulator on pc ? if yes which one ?
Can someone tell me how does he know how much damage the pokemon will take so fast?
A lot of this is calculated very precisely in advance.
Bro has MONO AUDIO on 😩☝️
truly the goat.
anyone in here knows if he completed the Zelda Roguelike yet?
Rukura would like to have a word with you
What Hack did he Play?:)
Dunsparce already exists, 0/5 stars.
D e f e a t e r
what mod is this?
It's called run and bun. But technically it's a rom hack (pretty much the same thing from a user perspective though)
@dylantheunis8935 A romhack would fall under the umbrella of mods. 'Mod' is a very broad category after all.
focus sash rattatata endevor quick attack. unbeatable pokemon beaten.
What if I just used toxic protect
@@djprice1856 he cant learn toxic.

@@jdogzerosilverblade299 I don’t think you’ve ever played Pokémon before
Smallant I keep missing ur steams lol
only a few steams left in the backlog :(
Spoiler alert
I think they meant it’s almost caught up to the date right now as it says this was streamed just last month
Did they increase the fps on this? Its way smoother than anything
Mental breakdown before 5th gym? Lol, you are in for a rough surprise buddy
Sorry guys, whats the challenge here?
