"So when I saw the package said "level 100 security" I just had to check it out"
Game: So you physically have a 1 in 10^3020 chance in order to get past this one Grunt.
Pikasprey: So you’re saying there’s a chance?
There should be no negative sign before 3020
Never tell me the odds!
If those are the odds, so be it.

Progression wise.
well it can... takes fing forever though
Just try to acquire as many rare candies as you can (assuming the pokemon that have pickup are available it may not take all that long).
@@hitkid2456 From what I can tell you can't acquire Pickup until Route 5 with Meowth, after Mt Moon.
@@RAFMnBgaming Dang. I figured it would be something like that... Welp.
This one is actually pretty easy to escape because of a feature in FRLG that you've overlooked. On the Mt. Moon floor in-between the first floor and the floor with the Rocket Grunt, Tiny and Big Mushrooms are hidden items in the rocks. These mushrooms have a chance to regenerate after taking a certain number of steps. You can sell these to obtain money with which you can buy Poke Balls, catch Pokemon, and escape. Since they are infinitely renewable, there is no way you can trap yourself once you have access to Mt. Moon and before jumping the ledge to Cerulean.
Wow, that is a surprisingly easy workaround so many people missed.
Very interesting. I did not know they they would replenish like a berry tree.
But that's not as fun, is it?
Wow I had no idea those could regenerate.
Dry battery would prevent this if you threw them out, right?
You mean to say this ISN'T how I'm supposed to play the game? I always throw my starter away and grind a geodude to a level 100 graveler with his only attacking moves being self destruct and explosion before fighting that rocket grunt. That explains why I thought the game went downhill from there.
I see you are a man of culture as well
Yeah the story really takes a dive once you get Selfdestruct tbh
Wait what I thought he was showing us an escape method
im pretty sure he’s showing us a speedrun strategy.
why scott isnt an rpg guy
Make this Graveler a Shiny and give this copy to someone saying: "You can have that Graveler - if you can get it."
HRCFr34k it’d be easier to shiny hunt for a new Geodude at that point
@@didgeridude8430 LMAO True...
@@didgeridude8430 For that matter you could shiny-hunt 15 Geodudes at that point with how astronomical the chance of escaping this softlock is
Holy shit this is diabolical

"Paralysis has a 1 in 4 chance" That's a funny way of saying "LITERALLY EVERY GOD DAMN TURN IF IT'S MY OWN POKEMON"
It's 1 in 4 for the npc, and 3 in 4 for players

I never thought I'd see the day when someone would actually depend on their pokemon being fully paralyzed in order to progress the game.
LMFAO
"At least with this one, it happens so early that starting over is barely a problem at all" - Pikasprey, who has spent probably literally cumulative DAYS engineering this situation.
@@Dryicelegendsofhero the venasaur was at a convincing level for the graveler to hit lv100. Even if he used rare candies, he sure put a lot of thought into the situation. More likely had an emulator to speed up the battles
@@Dryicelegendsofhero Yeah. Thats why his Starter is level 76 lmfao.
No he quite obviously did not use rare candies.
Shellshocked Bros could use rare candies on both lol.
But likely did a mixture
@@fatuusdottore Any rare candies they found on the ground yeah.
I always see people who say things like "No way he grinded that much. Probably hacked in the rare candies himself."
@@shellshockedbros4458 I mean there'd be no reason to do the grind. He could do it, he seems like the type crazy enough to, but honestly, why would he? He can get the same footage so much easier, and without putting in days of effort.
If you’re curious:
The chance of being fully paralyzed for at least 177 out of 231 turns is the sum from n=177 to 231 of (231 nCr n)*(1/4)^n*(3/4)^(231-n)...
...which is about 1.204*10^-60.
And that’s not even considering the extra RNG factors.
Finally someone with the right answer
Mariobrosaa Productions Thanks for doing the math, I had a feeling it would be absurdly tiny
I gave you a like for running the math. It needed to be done
Dammit, I wanted to post the math for it, lol. Although I forgot the N choose R in mine, so it would have been wrong anyway :P
Question: does a pokemon lose PP if it loses a turn to paralysis/confusion (I tried to look it up onlibe but couldn't find it and I don't have a gen 3 game so I can't try it out myself :
I think the truly miserable person here is the Rocket grunt who has to sit through a 231 turn battle using a rat and a bat to beat a literal rock to death.

As fascinating as these videos are to me I cant help but hear "I cant decide whether this can be considered a flaw on the game's part" and not think "QA cannot account for flaws in the base human nature of the player"
That last part is 100% something I'd say as a game dev if someone tried this on a game I made, hahaha
I swear, every time you propose a solution to a soft lock it's even more evil than the last
Calculate the time required per attempt
Calculate the odds
Show that the expected time is greater than the age of the universe
you probably could've just done it at level 62, when graveler learns its last level-up move, but you madlad, you actually brought it all the way and i applaud you
Also level 62 makes the escape harder since graveler has to survive so many turns it is unlikely to even win at level 100.
So he would have to grind wild pidgeys with that graveler to escape.
I did the same thing with a Wurmple before the first gym in Hoenn recently. Then I played through all of the game with it up to Phoebe, and I was all hyped to finish and do a giant video on it... and my dad's girlfriend has lost the DS with the cartridge in it. Yikes.
I'm sure he knew that, but he did it anyway because the Internet told him to.
well gravalers in mount moon would of been able to self-destruct first and you would of gained EXP
@@unknownguy1287 At lvl 62 nothing is out-speeding you in Mt. Moon, they're too low levelled. Secondly, there are no wild Gravelers.

Aight, now somebody do a TAS where this soft-lock is actually escaped from. That'd be quite the feat of RNG manipulation!
I love how I can just take one look, ONE LOOK at this video and go "Ah, I see Pikasprey's back on his bullshit again." I love it.
PizzaWithAnchovies HAHAHA FR
As a member of the speedrunning community, I can confirm with certainty that trainer Pokemon stats are 100% set, to the point that even when you use the Universal Pokemon Randomizer the randomized Pokemon will have the same EVs and IVs as the Pokemon it replaced.
F for that over leveled starter
Nah, that starter's the only one to get out of this with half its sanity intact.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while. Rather than have to train Graveler all the way to level 100, it should be sufficient to train it until it learns its last possible level-up move. Just to save a little time ruining your game.
then again, your graveler would have way less health to survive with, which means the grunt is more likely to kill you from all the cumulative attacks being thrown at graveler
Oh my God. Just the other day I was telling someone how sad I am that there are no more Soft Lock Picking or Gem Collecting episodes for me to watch, and that I couldn't wait for the next one.

@@bottinator22 So do I, but that only gets me so far, and it's never the same as the first time around. 😅
@@NoriMori1992 I mean, emulators are a thing, and they are free
Have you considered becoming a playtester? The amount of creativity you showcase with every episode of this series goes far beyond what the average playtester would think to do.
My dude did a freakin survey on zubats and rattatas. That's dedication
Coming back after Austin of "The SCIENCE!" contextualizes how impossible this "improbable" is only adds to the level of wonder for how insane these setups can get. XD
Heat death of the universe is more likely to happen than someone actually beating the odds (at least as an individual).
You touched upon a really interesting point at the end there: are ANY softlocks possible in Let's Go with an unreleasable starter and infinite TMs? Aren't there NPCs that give you free balls if you ever run out? And with permanent Secret Techniques instead of HMs, you'll likely have to be locked pretty early on.
In Pikachu, avoid all trainers possible, and waste all pokeballs, and trash all items. Raise Pikachu to level 26 by catching pokemon, and teach it only thunder shock, electro Ball, thunder wave, and spark. DEfeat everybody up untill brock.
I believe the softlock outside of Cerulean City from the older games is still a problem in Let's Go where you get trapped by a trainer
@@tompatterson1548 there's still the girl in Pewter City that gives you cash every day for babysitting her Slowpoke. There's no way to stop someone from accessing that and getting money for Pokéballs and getting new Pokémon
You can get trainer trapped, but that's not a softlock, that's a GBJ
Xetheon ?
Did you softlock?
Asprey: Yes
What did it cost?
Asprey: 100 hours of grinding
Also, don't forget that once you beat the Rocket grunt you also have to fight the fossil guy to advance
BUT! After you beat the rocket grunt you can just buy pokeballs and "Restart" your run lol ooor just train another graveler to 100 with the same moveset because escape is too good to claim..
You get about 400p from beating the grunt, enough for 2 pokeballs. You could easily catch another pokemon, train it up a little, and beat the scientist then go on your merry way.
An interesting alternative would be what if Pikasprey chose the Fossil guy instead of the Rocket Grunt.
@@WaterKirby1994 It would be much harder because If I remember correctly, that guy has three Pokémon, and two of them can poison you
@@tonytang7550 Pokemon can't be poisoned if they are paralyzed already.
pikasprey is the only entertaining monotone voice I have ever heard
I'm a simple man, I see a pikasprey video, I let out a gorilla screech and immediately slam like
Imagine not getting paralyzed in this softlock, while in any other times you get paralyzed, you always do almost all the time.
putting Zero Escape OST in the background was the perfect choice for this kind of video
Very interesting lock indeed, but you missed a tiny little detail that undoes all this work. In Mt Moon there are hidden Tiny and Big Mushrooms that have a chance to regenerate after taking a certain amount of steps. So you can walk around until you find enough shrooms to be able to afford Poké Balls, catch something else, defeat the Rocket Grunt and escape the lock.
I love the Ace Attorney and Zero Escape music. It’s very fitting.
A couple of tips when trying this for yourself:
1. You can use the clearing out of all previous battles in order to level up your Graveler.
2. Don't try this yourself.
3:47 Golem just feels like it was meant to be the rock version of Magmar or Electabuzz but at some point in development someone lazily slapped it on as a 3rd evolution for geodude
When you explain escape methods I just imagine you as an anime genius that pushes up his glasses and the shine reflecting off of them makes the lenses completely white as you have a smug smile.
I literally don't even watch anime I just know the meme lmao
So Pokemon isn't an anime now?
is anime over yet

Emulator save state after every “successful” paralysis turn.
That actually sounds possible to pull off, but emulators and save states are considered cheats and 3-rd party modifications for the purposes of these softlocks. He's doing them on a gameboy.
@@bloodraven2537 Or on an emulator without using any savestates? The fact that it is there doesn't mean you have to use it.
@@fifaworldcup1994 the point of the save state is to reroll para rng every turn. this would ensure that you would get paraed EVERY turn leaving only the crit and damage rng to worry about. which as stated will add up.
@Blood Raven emulators themselves would not be considered cheating in the case of softlocks. as he can speed up gameplay and it would not be considered cheating. Save states would absolutly be cheating, but would still not guarantee freedom due to the dmg and crit rng, not to mention if we are going no cheats, it is possible that save scumming would be considered cheating and even the 2 pokeballs you get for winning could both fail and keep you in the softlock.
@@megasora4 I don't think you can get any Pokeballs for defeating trainers in the original games. That's only a thing in Let's Go.

Also, I would love to see a soft lock of the newer games. I can't sleep at night thinking they are foolproof.
That's going to be very difficult seeing how starting in gen 5, TMs can be used infinitely. Although Gen 4 is very easily doable. He should work on that next.
The only way foreseeable way to save softlock in the new games is some sort of collision clipping. (Acually, in SwSh, in order to end one of the battles, you must catch a pokemon, though having full PC boxes and party won't allow you to catch it, but it isn't a save softlock.)
holy shit, dude, this is RIDICULOUS. i commend you for grinding for that long for the sake of this softlock oh my god
There is a hidden Oran Berry on Route 3. I believe hidden Berries always regenerate in FRLG, after taking enough steps. With enough patience, you could collext enugh Oran Berries to sell and buy a Poké Ball.

13:00 If you like this look up the central value theorem. Basically if you flip a coin a couple of times, your results will vary significantly from one person to another, one person may get heads 4 times, one person may get 2 heads 2 tails etc. But if you flip a coin approaching an infinite number of times, then your heads and tails results will be pretty much guaranteed to be split evenly. For a two-sided coin, they say it's about 20 for the results to be "mostly" evenly divided, I think they say to be within 3 standard deviations within a certain confidence interval etc.
Sorry for the incoming wall of text
Considering the accumulated damage Rattata and Zubbat deal to you, can't you make the softlock a true one? I mean, I could have missed something, but checking in showdown's calculator, even with the worst hp (less struggles) and attack (considering both IVs and nature) they would deal 268 damage to a worst defense (catching a geodude with 0 IVs and bad nature can be a condition in the softlock) Graveler. Factor in that Graveler can have as low as 220HP at level 100 (again, 0 IVs as a condition) and you wouldn't be able to get them KOed even with awesome paralalysis luck, making the solftlock way tedious to setup, but truly unescapable, not even with TAS "luck".
Unless there is no chance of the enemy missing, then the chance to win still exists.
@@JonesCrimson Well, you're right, I forgot to take that into account. But, there is no 1/256 glitch in gen 3, no? As I don't think there is, the only missing moves are Rattata's Tackle and Hyper Fang, and removing them leaves us with 218 damage. Just two HP short, wich will make the escape even more unlikely but, as you said, still possible. But.. can't Geodude learn the same moves and, at level 100, can be made unable to evolve? So we'll have the exact same situation as with Graveler, but.. with a 190 HP Geodude, making it again imposible to escape?
@@joserichi6673 The entire point is creating a condition that anyone could do on original hardware, there would be no way to verify the exact IVs of the caught geodude.
You also failed to account for geodude/graveler being forced to used defense curl and ending up at +6 defense at some point in the battle.
@@BdotYewToob You can verify them, you just have to get the formula, plug in the current stats, level and nature (and EVs but if you check it just as you catch it, they'll be 0) and solve for the IVs. Tedious, but doable.
Also accounting Defense Curl, Quick Attack is already doing the minimum 1 damage, that won't go lower. But.. according to the calculator, it seems that non-resisted moves (like Struggle, Astonish and Leech Life) are capped at dealing 2 damage minimun in Gen 3, no matter how low or high attack and defense stats are respectively. That's why them killing Geodude is "guaranteed", because most of the attacks would be dealing 2 damage, not 1, but it seems weird even to me. Maybe someone could disprove/verify this?
@@joserichi6673 I guess, but an external IV calculator isn't accurate at low levels and would just output a range of possible IVs so we'd have to level up geodude quite a bit before we could confirm that way.
I suppose someone might be willing to go to these lengths for such a setup just not myself lol
Here from ShoddyCast! He found out how many attempts it would have taken for someone to get out of this!

I love how meticulous and thorough you are! excellent content
The way he describes the reasons you can’t escape while that music plays feels like someone explaining how screwed the protagonist of a movie is while the villain’s plan is in motion.
God, the math on this is incredibly complicated, even ignoring confusion. No wonder you didn't post the math this time in the video.
At first I was kind of upset about that, but then I thought about it and realized, the math is way less straightforward this time around, I can't really blame him for not going as in-depth as he usually does.
It makes me want to figure it out myself.
Not to mention the numbers get absurdly small. Even just looking at ONLY the 1/4 chance of paralysis needed 177 times, that means you already are working with numbers on the order of 10^(-107) that's not even including the other rng factors
@@tanookimariorocks Not necessarily 177 in a row tho
@@tanookimariorocks 177 within 231 rolls not in a row but yeah i get ur point , plus even if the pokemon do minimum damage againest him (1 damage) its still 231 turns so thats gonna be atleast 150 damage not even accounting for confusion or critical hits

Just yesterday I was searching for a soft lock picking video I might’ve missed because they’re so good x3
Turns out I didn’t miss any-
I wonder how much of a spike in views on this video Austin has caused with his video on this softlock?
anyways, how hard could it possibly be to escape? I mean, the softlock would only take over 1e+106 years to escape.
This is one of those situations where playing it on an emulator makes the escape really easy compared to playing on the actual hardware.
Emulators have access to savestates (actually, virtual console game boy games on 3ds usually have too, but not Pokémon) while the original hardware doesn't. With save states, you can save before any turn, see how the turn goes, and only save again if you get paralyzed. If you don't, reload. That "splits" the total amount of paralysis turns into single instances that can be controlled separately and in that way you can get a paralysis every single turn because, if you don't... you just reload the previous save state and hope in paralysis again. It's still a long ass battle (it's 177 turns, and you have to reload every single one of them until you get the 1/4 paralysis chance) but unlike what happens without save states (where there's no "progress", no matter how close you get to the goal in one try, it counts zero once it fails and you try again), here every single paralysis you get gets you a savestate closer to your goal and turn after turn you can progress towards that escape.
Of course, save states aren't an intended tool for players to have. But these soft locks aren't intended either, sooo lol

You should have fans or friends set up a soft lock that you’re not specifically familiar with. Then you should make a video of you trying to escape (which presumably there would be some way) would be fun to watch you try to pick the lock!
"Hi, it's me! Austin!"
This is literally the first video in my subscriptions from you since the slakoth run.
I dont really get the point of leveling all the way to 100, wouldn't the last level it learns a move be enough?
Gonna leave a like so he will see this and hopefuly explain.
@@voltek9738 He did explain in the video at ~3:00. As a result of the electrode video people would probably pester him to reach level 100 to prove it really works. To prevent scores of people leaving the same comment about needing to reach level 100 he just did it because why not. Now scores of people are commenting asking why he leveled to 100 without paying attention to the explanation in the video. You can never win.
@@d3v1lsummoner But the poor man puts up with it, just for us.
It has to take like 150 damage to survive the fight, and that's before taking confusion into account. Level 100 actually gives you the best chance of success.
The real question is though: how much shinies can or did you encounter leveling the Graveler to 100 at this snail pace? :P
Also why not just as Geodude?
Good question, maybe he didn't want to have to spam B every level up.
My guess is either having to push b a whole bunch or that Graveler's better stats had something to do with it
Ty I don't know why these soft lock vids are so relaxing to me but I love them I watch them in kind of a flow state.
"All I did was level up a pokemon for 50 hours, throw away all my items and money, and release all my pokemon" - Yeah I think that one's on you ;)
I was actually wondering recently about NPCs having IVs. Could a ditto be used to verify whether their IVs are random?
I know in later games they all have set IVs and evs, but some of the important ones usually have perfect IVs and are ev trained
Holy shit. The amount of work you put in to these videos is very impressive.
Someone can check my math on this but I think the actual percentage chance would be 2.72*10^-105%, or 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000272% chance of getting paralyzed the 177 times, aka slightly lower than the odds of getting 27 shiny Pokemon in a row
Looks like you calculated the chance of getting paralyzed 177 times in a row, but really you can have 60 attacks anywhere inbetween, boosting the actual chance by 10^40 to 10^-60.
You are off by a LOT, but the chance is functionally 0 anyway, so it doesn't matter.
@@Gabriel64468 Yeah I realized that a little after posting but I wanted to see if someone would point it out, so thanks
@@Gabriel64468 Not even taking into account if the RNG is physically capable of achieving that, given that it's pseudorandom - any seed x will always produce the same outputs of y in the absence of any additional randomness added during the calculation.
@@HashtagTSwagg I am not 100% sure on this, but I believe the way Pokemon RNG in general/specifically for FR/LG works is that there is a seed, yes, but the RNG advances every X frames, not every time a random number is needed. So if you wait inbetween moves even a splitsecond it should absolutely be possible.
Again not an expert, so take it with a grain of salt.
@@Gabriel64468 Well, it would also depend on what factors go into producing the next number or seed. In either event, because it more or less relies on just moving the bits around in each byte, it's entirely possible you'd find many circumstances where the RNG would be incapable of producing the right numbers needed for this. But I'm no expert, so yeah.
Last time I was this early I was still trapped with just a Magikarp
According to the binomial distribution formula, the chance of getting 177 paralyses in a 231 turn battle is a little worse than 10^-60. For reference, the chance to escape the Lorelei Rage lock is around 10^-49. That means you are roughly *a hundred billion times* more likely to escape the Lorelei Rage lock than to escape this one. And we're not even accounting for other factors aside from paralysis such as the chances for a knockout from confusion, etc.
HOLY CRAP LOL
When your brother ends your shiny hunting streak so you end his lif... Uh...
