I love how your HM pokemon are named for what they're useful for. FLY for flying around, FLASH for seeing in caves, and POOCHYENA, for when you need a cuddly bitey friend.
You're easily entertained huh?
@@MrSrepinsYou must be fun at parties.
@@eeemilu did that one take a while to think up? Maybe work on it so it has some relevancy and doesn't make you sound like you're leaning on the spectrum. Strike one slugger
@MrSrepins you are a pathetic pile of wasted stardust 🎉
@@MrSrepinsJesus man, they’re having fun on a UA-cam comment section, there’s no need to try to ruin it because you didn’t like what they said, just ignore it?
20:23 "I don't know if I've ever been hit by one of those 1-hit KO moves in a Pokémon run before."
Koffing in Gen 1, 8th gym. Got paralyzed by Nidoqueen's Body Slam, Sludge did almost no damage to Rhydon so you Smokescreened him 4 times before Giovanni pulled out the Guard Spec, then you tried to go back to Sludge just for Rhydon to land Fissure before you could even get another turn.
Weow
That’s impressive af
Pulling out the MDB deep lore
dude keep track of every run like a bible
Well it’s a bit different there as guard spec in gen 1 ignores accuracy but I see your point
8:05 "Is Sandstorm Ground or is it Rock?"
The move itself is Rock so Rock-types are protected, but Ground and Steel don't take Sandstorm damage either. Sandstorm is just weird like that.
I still think it's dumb that hail didn't give boost to ice types and when they finally gave it that it now doesn't do damage
@@icebergerplays9639It not doing damage is a buff to hail not a nerf since it allows it to be used on a lot more teams (speaking from a competitive standpoint)
@@icebergerplays9639because only ice types were immune to hail, if you didnt want your whole team taking damage youd need a lot of ice types, which is unnecessary. this works on sandstorm because there is multiple types immune to it.
Fire and water types could be immune to hail. You know, two types that are resistant to ice type.
And rock types only get a spdef boost like how snow does to ice types def now
MDB debated using the egg pokemon but eventually thought Wynaut
Around 6:30: "I don't know if you can re-roll fossil Pokemon . . ."
Indeed you can. The individual values of the Pokemon get determined the moment you receive the Pokemon, in this case, after the revival. So if you save right before reviving it, you can soft reset for a good nature/ability combo you want.
Actually MDB, it's possible to reroll Natures for Fossil Pokemon.
Once they tell you to leave after giving the fossil, come back in, save near the reception desk, and then check it each time before resetting for a different nature.
Just in case you ever think about doing a Gen 4 Fossil run in the future.
In the case of Beldum in this run, remember that vitamins like Protien and Zinc can get you a sizable head start on EVs without needing battles. Chuck a handful of vitamins on that boy, then pop rare candies. It won't max his EVs but it's a hell of a lot better than just rare candies alone.
And I mean, it's a Metagross, the pseudo legendary Pokemon. What did he mean it would be basically useless?
Also, it's not really that hard to max out EVs and he also has the choice of Pokémon to grind against to give him the best possible EVs for a Metagross. Even without max EVs Metagross would have been stronger than most, if not all his team
I think the calcs you were doing for Weather Ball come up to 225, rather than 200.
It's 100 multiplied by 1.5 for STAB and then again for weather. Those 50% bonuses aren't additive.
Isn't the multiplier applied to the base attack, before considering STAB?
@@bestbattle it doesnt matter when u applie it since exclusiv mutiplication doesnt care
@@nyaaguy354 If it's PWR x1.5 x 1.5, you're right. But if it's PWR + 0.5PWR + 0.5PWR, the result won't be the same. In first case, you have 100*1.5*1.5 => 225. In second case, 100+50+50. This is why MDB says the power is 200.
@@bestbattle well second case is not multiplication but addition so yeah:P
@@bestbattle I just looked it up. It's multiplicative, not additive. You can find the formula on bulbapedia /wiki/Damage
For future reference, Sandstorm is a rock move that has no effect on rock, ground or Steel Pokémon. From gen 4 onwards if I'm not mistaken it has the secondary effect of increasing Rock-type Pokémon Special Defense by 50%.
And yeah, Weather Ball becomes monstrous under Rain or Sun. It gets STAB, doubled power from its unique property, and 50% extra power from the weather, making it essentially a 225 BP move since they all stack multiplicatively.
shouldn't be 250?
50 BP
x1.5 to 75 BP
x2 to 150 BP
X1.5 to 225 BP
@@circularnectarine1439 oh, i always did the x2 first
@@NestmindSame here, but it results in 225 either way: 50 x 2 = 100 -> 100 x 1,5 = 150 -> 150 x 1,5 = 225
@@KitsuNerezza oh, right, math works like that
I'm simply dumb
i feel like a fun idea for like an anniversary or something would be to rank all the challenges you’ve done on how easy / soul crushing they were
He's done a few hundred of them now so he'd have to break it down into categories like generation, party size, or specific games in generation like yellow or emerald. Honestly it's a really good idea for him to make as backup videos in case he can't get a video out though.
Wynaut ♀️: MDB : "He" : Milotic ♂️ : MDB : "She"
This run just goes to show how goated Swampert is in Pokemon Emerald
(5:40) Which fossil did you pick? I hear snow is good for the winter algorithm, and Connecticut is due to get hit with 6-12 inches of it tonight into tomorrow morning.
(6:07) I would've reset for a different nature than Jolly on that one, since you wouldn't want your primary attacking type to be hindered.
(6:21) Yes, you can. Save right before turning in the fossil to be revived, and then if you don't like the nature, reset and try again for a different result. In fact, I think you could save right before picking up the revived fossil and this will work.
(8:01) Sandstorm is Rock-type.
(8:44) You're not bad at Pokémon. You can be forgiven for guessing that Sandstorm might be Ground-type here. But, in the future, just think of sand as lots of tiny rocks.
(9:12) You did do some math wrong. It's 225 power, not 200. Weather Ball's base power is 50, x2 for having any weather present makes it 100, then x1.5 for STAB makes 150, and then x1.5 again for the Rain/Sun boost makes 225.
(20:10) Oof, it was a 31% chance you'd get hit by that Sheer Cold.
(21:52) Actually, I don't think Safeguard can stop Leech Seed.
(27:07) And that's game!
For å challenge suggestions how about å technician run? Only mouve that have low enough power to be boosted by technician. Getting pokemon with technician would be a plus and you could strategize with mouve you use less often and take advantage of status effect. :D
16:43 That “one turn meat shield” was banned to Ubers until Gen 5. 😂 Fully understand and I’d pretty much do the same thing.
I’d only be partially confident in my ability to play Wobbuffet and Wynaut after playing Pokemon for 26 years.
Christmas gifts came late, huh?
Requesting Pokemon B2W2 With Only One Chinchou.
If you want thematic runs: Pick your top 3 Silliest looking pokemon and use them for a team run!
So just the elemental monkeys then
This is a great video, especially the sandstorm bit lol
Hi Mah Dry Bread, I watched your videos in a different stage of my life. I’m now in a new stage, and tuning into your new videos feels like the nostalgia of greeting an old friend.
Great videos as always!
I love hearing that because that's the same way I feel about a lot of other channels that I watch. I'm actually binging an old Let's Play channel I used to watch and thinking about how different my life was at the time.
Thanks, I really appreciate that!
If you want some more thematic team runs, how about more seasonal ones? You did ice types for christmas, so what about grass types in spring, fire types in summer, ghost types for halloween, etc.?
It's always a treat to see you have a fun run. As a suggestion, how about you try pokemon gold/silver with a single Murkrow
You are indeed doing the maths wrong on weather ball, 50 X 2 for weather = 100 × 1.5 for STAB = 150 X 1.5 for the weather boosts = 225 so it's even stronger than you thought
Edit: although Castform only has 70 base everything so still sucks unfortunately
Can we get an ORAS run with only Swablu??
More fun runs to watch from you. Good work on another one.
Nice to see you mate. Hope all is well. Looking forward to your Pokémon challenges in the future.👍❤️
Swampert is one of the best starters for an ingame run.
Btw, for future Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald runs, remember that you can get a Leftovers in the S.S. Tidal, at the basement (it's in the trashcan IIRC).
Gen 3 competitive swampert is the best starter out of all 9 starters at that time iirc
A gift Pokemon run on the holidays, fitting.
i'm super hyped for Larvitar! one of the only pokemon that manages to come across to me as both cool and cute, and they're a blast to use as well with some solid sandstorm strats to take advantage of how surprisingly tanky the little dude is.
also while i'm here, i love kabuto and anorith and it's kinda a bummer that you almost always skip them so i was wondering if you'd be willing to do a run with or around one or both of them to show them some love? honestly a series with all the fossil pokemon would be really interesting from a design standpoint
Mudkip starter is just not a challenge 🤣
No matter! Great job!
Love the videos :)
Always a fun time to watch.
I also have an idea, what about a 6 team pokemon challenge but each pokemon only knows 1 move. To chose the move, you it can be one of the moves only from their secons typing. Could be fun :)
Finally!!! You’re back!!
Thank you for your service once again a great one.
This is the perfect video to end the holiday season.
Love seeing team runs!
This was a great run! Always love these theme runs. How about another Gym Leader Team Run sometime? Or even better, how about Beating Pokemon Platinum with Cyrus's team? Or Emerald with either Archie or Maxie's team? Those could be really fun for team/theme runs! Prove who could lead the evil team better!
Bro, Mahdry, you really do make these night shifts a tad easier. I'll be binging KQ5 and 6 with you again. Lol. Love your content, brother.
Love the videos! Btw bring back road to WM 2000 videos 😀
fun fact: mudkip only is actually a very popular run, to the point of it having it's own achievement set on Retro-achievements!
Was actually kinda expecting you to pick Torchic instead of Mudkip, but apparently you chose wisely on that front.
Also MDBAMA: you mentioned going to make a sandwich at the end, so what's your favorite kind of sandwich?
You pronounced lileep perfectly 👍
This is the only time that the Lileep Line/Root Fossil is the correct first choice. Because of restricted to "Gift Pokemon" and choosing Mudkip.
But in all other cases the Armaldo Line/Claw Fossil is the correct first choice! 1 of the funnest things in Emerald Version is post-game you can get the other fossil you didn't originally choose.
Eh depends, cradily is generally better than armaldo
@@lolidemon3163 Cradily is much slower then Armaldo. Slow Pokemon 98% of the time are worse then Faster Pokemon.
Armaldo hits Hard & Fast compared to Cradily, allowing you to do more damage more often.
@morrigankasa570 in gen 3, water weakness, bad movepool, armaldo is far slower than u would think and is not outspeeding anything significant with 45 base speed and unless u think 2 more base speed than cradily amounts for much yeah ur just smoking stuff. Rock and bug stab wouldn't really do that much which cradily can't already do
@@lolidemon3163 I've played Gen 3 many times as well as Gens 1 & 2. Armaldo has always done more damage & been faster the Cradily in all my playthroughs.
@morrigankasa570 faster? Doubtful that all ur armaldos are faster than every cradily, 43 vs 45 speed ain't hard to get one faster than the other depending on iv's/ev's. Better hitting? Doubtful as well bc cradily gets grass moves, and on top of stab on water region cradily would be dealing more dmg overall, (not to mention the regen move such as leech seed), no idea why u think armaldo is significantly faster than cradily wen they are both slow, armaldo isn't surviving as long as cradily
Glad you enjoyed Christmas MDB
Love getting to watch these early
I was really hoping that you would use Metagross for one of Steven's pokemon.
I love how you went insane in thr Only Wubbafett run but in this run he was pretty useful!
Eeeeeeeyyyyyy! He actually used the Lileep from the Root Fossil today! Always nice to see videos where those kind of gift/fossil Pokémon are used for a change.
I bet you could have won that fight @lvl65, definitely possible. But glad you prioritized your time and did the rare candies!!!! Yay!!!! Seriously glad to hear
A happy belated Christmas to you to and a happy New Year 🥳.
I'm gonna make a suggestion, just for more variety would you consider modding the ROM to give you more "caught" Pokemon to get the stuff behind catch walls? It's more a river save for what could be done with just infinite time and patience
Was just about to come comment this. Especially in FRLG when items are locked behind them too. I don’t see any issue having a complete dex, long as it doesn’t break the run (which I can’t think of any instances where it would)
Love that it took such a turn. Go gift team!
I love how some of the lines are repeated so much that I say them with you.
This actually happened.
I was at work and I heard "Actually, now that I think about it-" they started down a different word path BUT IN MY MIND I THOUGHT "everybody ask anyway. Comments are good for the UA-cam algorithm.
The weirdest thing is that I didn't even realize that I completed the line until it hit me a few minutes later!
Can you tell I have seen a lot of these multiple times yet?
Just absolutely dumbfounded that your lines have become cemented in my mind.
Can we get an update on Mrs. MDB?
It's weird that Sandstorm is the Rock weather condition when sand-based Pokémon are Ground-types.
I love your rambles
Commenting to be good for the algorithm cause this man deserves it!
So.. which fossil did you take??
PS great video as always MDB, keep up the great work! Always a great day when a new video by you comes out ❤
ayyy you chose mudkip! my favorite! also can you do emerald with feebas? feebas can learn tm's and hm's
I'm so glad to see emerald runs, tons of pokemon channels say this is the hardest game for pokemon challenge runs. It's my fav GBA pokemon game!!!!!
thanks for the run was fun to watch
"Sandstorm is ground duh."
MDB: "Sandstorm is rock"
*Surprised Pikachu face*
I'm always a huge fan of the gift pokemon only runs. Having a limited team of Pokémon that don't really synergise is super fun because you have to think outside the box a bit more but it's also slightly easier and in my opinion more fun than solo runs because there's less grinding and brute forcing
Can you please do a Oshawott only run in Pokémon Black?? And could you pretty please name it Oshaboss? 😅😂 I love watching your videos man! Stress relief for me!
You looking up stuff mid script had me dying 😂
5:24 oh yeah the best Game: fly, flash and poochyena
Love gift only runs! Also I hear comments could be good for the UA-cam algorithm.
id love to see a fossil only run where you get to choose a fossil only after defeating 2 gym leaders in fire red. meaning you can have a full team of fossils by the end.
Imagine being a kid in the Hoenn region. You and your sibling are talking about gym leaders and you say, "Our dad really shouldn't be a gym leader." Suddenly, the door opens. It's your dad.
I am a fan of 3-mon mono type runs running a randomizer to pick also adds to it
Want to ask about castform. If running rain and thunderbolt, would it have been better to just buy thunder for the better damage and perfect accuracy in rain? Love what you do and glad to see you doing a lot better after the health scare last year
Finally made it on time for an upload
I’d like to see you try an Emerald Kaizo run. Maybe all the same rules, but you can build your own team. Would be fun to see you try
I think it would be fun to use a team of pokemon using only their signature moves (or signature to their evolution lines)
That's a really good run! Very fun to watch! (didn't mean to rhyme! 🤣)
Great run! And yea we don’t care about rare candy especially in the post game
I think that for runs like this you should use rare candies to get new pokemon up to a reasonable level for the point you're at so you have more opportunities to use them making the run more fun since you can use the whole team more
I always love when Wobbuffet gets some recognition.
I wasn't expecting this one to have such a fun ending! I always feel slightly sad with Emerald runs bc of Stevan 😭
In Gen IX, Hail was changed to Snowscape and increases Defense for Ice-types. 😀
Best dare ever!
“Can I beat Pokémon Emerald with Steven’s team?”
Switch Treecko for Beldum and you’ll only get 1 fossil until the post game at the Desert Underpass.
Might be super hard since Beldum only has takedown until it evolves.
Swampert showcasing why he is a top tier pokemon 😂 love to see it
I feel like a themed run you could try which might be a bit different is a 1% Rarity Challenge ... where you can only use Pokemon whose spawn rate is 1% in the entire game.
I would exclude Pokemon who have a pre-evolution which is more common, or any that have a different Rarity elsewhere in the game. Of course, Legendaries are off the table.
Shinies would be allowed though due to this being a rarity challenge ... if you are lucky enough to run into one .... minus the Red Gyarados of course.
If you were to do this challenge in Gold, this would give you Dunsparce (in Dark Cave prior to the first Gym), Yanma (North of Goldenrod Prior to Gym 3), Subbull (West of Ecruteak prior to Gym 4), and Marill (in Mt. Mortar between Ecruteak and Mahogany Town prior to Gym 4) all before the Elite Four. Chansey is the only one as part of the Post game with a 1% Rarity.
Mdb i love you and your work.....we in the comments give you guff for being bad at pokemon because you have more time spent playing rhe games than us😅
really, weather ball has effectively 225 base power on a water type in rain, since weather ball doubles in power to 100, and then you get 2 consecutive 1.5× boosts, which, to my knowledge, are multiplicative, meaning it actually works out to a 2.25× boost combined.
If I did the math right weather ball in sun and rain it's actually 225 and not 200 so a bit better than you thought
Thank you for the video.
Wobbuffet was my suprise MVP in a pokemon wonderlock of Pokemon Shield. Love how he can tank a hit and does double the damage back great against Dyanamax Pokemon.
"Goes up well after Christmas", wellllll, depends on if you're on the old calendar or not 👀
10:00 when mdb is talking about wynaut, he keeps saying "him" when it has a ♀
No matter how underleveled it is, there's always a chance for Wobbuffet to get a kill with Destiny Bond when you give it a Quick Claw. In fact, for Juan's Double Team and Rest spamming Kingdra it wouldn't even need the Quick Claw luck, just switch it in while it's asleep and watch the AI take itself out.
I think I suggested this before but it’s been a couple… years… so here it is again! Do a run with only the Pokémon used to COMPLETE trades (not the trade Pokémon themselves.)
I realize this doesn’t make for a very catchy video title so maybe call them “pre-trade” Pokémon 😅
Here i was, always thinking the pokemon was called Wynaut, but from this day onward, I will always know it as Whynot!
- (No hate intended MDB, I love your content. 😂)
Sandstorm does give a special defense boost to Rock Types that I don't think Ground or Steel get. Ground or Steel just tend to have Abilities that go well with Sandstorm and are immune to the damage.
Challenge idea:
You have to beat every gym, major fight and the elite 4, with the Pokémon you find in the route before, but you‘re not allowed to level up (exception is during a fight and elite 4). But you can have a party of 6
In terms of team based runs you could do, I do like the mono-type ones you do, but something I think would be fun is doing version exclusive runs. Probably should ban legendaries, but try to do one game, like Sapphire, with only Sapphire version exclusives. Could work for almost every generation. Plus you could get two runs out of it. A Sapphire version exclusive run and a Ruby one. A Red and a Blue, you get the idea.
MDB you actually can re-roll fossil (and all gift pokemon). If you save just before you talk the npc you either get the gift from or just before you receive the egg.
When the pokemon is given (or when the egg is handed to your character) is when the pokemon is set.
This means if you get say a modest eevee (but you intend to evolve it into say Leafeon in Gen 4), you can reset to before you received the egg/pokemon.
Only downside is wirh eggs because you have to re hatch the egg.
This could be a very fun nuzlocke too
Have you tried a challenge where you can only use passive damage? It would definitely be a long run but I think it would have some SUPER interesting playability. Also I can’t remember if it was you who did something like this or another poketuber
I have an idea for a potential MBD take on a Nuzlocke challenge. Permadeath isn't very MBD, but instead, the catch could be that once you remove a Pokémon from your team, you can't use it anymore. This way, you still have one random chance of catching a new Pokémon per route, and you must be mindful of team-building resources. Also, this would include any HM usage. It might need another tweak to fit your schedule, but it could be a nifty idea.
I don't know what MBD thinks, but MDB isn't into nuzlockes
I like permadeath, just not in Pokemon
You can get both fossils in Emerald by going to the Fossil Maniac house in post game and going through the ditto cave to get the fossil that you didn't choose, it's West of Fallarbor town in the northern part of the route. You can get a full team with starter, Wynaut, fossil 1, Castform, Beldum post, and Fossil 2 post is what I am saying. So if you had any issues, go through the ditto cave to get fossil you didn't choose.
I don't even know why Sandstorm is a Rock type move.
All the other moves with "sand" in the name are Ground type
6:54
I'm glad that we all share a father
For your next run do all cave Pokémon run that be interesting seeing you hurry up to the first cave to catch a Pokémon to start the run with
