    2:20 - Reading up on Bulbapedia, it basically was because of the Confuse Ray
    "Additionally, if the opponent does not use an attack that misses, the last amount of damage done will not be reset, effectively resulting in damage done during the previous turn also being counted as damage done during that turn."
    Meaning that when you used Confuse Ray, instead of adding 0 to the stored damage like it should since, y'know, you didn't deal any actual damage, it instead repeated the last amount obtained: The 9 from Night Shade
    Thus, Bide had stored 18 and did 36 as a result

That said, I'm surprised Snorlax had that rough of a time with brock. It starts off with headbutt, which even despite not being very effective, is a decently powerful STAB move, and I feel like rest should let you stall them out pretty well even if it might be agonizingly slow.

    For the bide confusion at 2:20, this is taken from bulbapedia:
    “The damage received during the period is counted as equal to the last amount of damage done. The last amount of damage done will include crash damage, an opponent's self-inflicted confusion damage, and the full damage absorbed by a substitute. Additionally, if the opponent does not use an attack that misses, the last amount of damage done will not be reset, effectively resulting in damage done during the previous turn also being counted as damage done during that turn.”

    • @MsCravenMoorehead
      @MsCravenMoorehead 3 роки тому +5

      So, you're saying:
      * 9 damage done
      * Confuse ray missed (another 9 dmg calc'd)
      * Bide returns 2x (9+9) // 36dmg?

    • @blah9500
      @blah9500 3 роки тому +11

      Essentially that initial night shade will count for every turn when the “last damage done” is not reset”. So i guess the optimal strategy once he had already used bide prior to your night shade, would be to use lick? Or at least use lick once, then confuse ray. That way the most recent damage would be from lick, and then you can confuse it.
      This weird status of the last damage dealt causes a lotttttt of fun stuff with counter as well. Counter can even counter itself. You can counter hyper beam during its recharge turn if you outspeed, etc.
      Something fun to do if you have, say a chansey vs a tauros (any faster hyper beam user really). Use thunderwave to paralyze it on the same turn it uses hyper beam, then use counter.
      Heres another dumb, but unrelated mechanic. If a pokemon that has yet to recharge is target by a sleep move, it is put to sleep no matter what. As in the accuracy check is bypassed, and its current status is overridden. Using the same example above, paralyze the opponent on the same turn hyper beam is used against you. Then use sing, and tauros will be put to sleep, even though it was paralyzed. This is risky though because it gets rid of the recharge, meaning tauros will be ready to attack next turn if it gets a first-turn wake. HOWEVER, thanks to more gen 1 fun, the tauros will still be slower because the paralysis speed drop persists until status healing item is used on it or it switches out.

      @G6 Liara speedrunners like nidoking because it evolves very early in the game(a fully evolved non bug type by the time you get to mount moon), has a great move pool, and of course the X accuracy + horn drill exploit(X accuracy ensures the next attack won't miss and horn drill is a one hit knock out move)

    I'm actually interested in what challenges you can make and put yourself through in other games outside of Pokemon Jrose. As a longtime fan who has watched nearly every single one of your videos, I kinda get the sense from your recent videos that it's not as thrilling to do these challenges as it was before. It almost feels too cookie-cutter in some sense. I think actually, you've pushed the limits of these challenges so far that you've learned nearly all there is to know about this game/challenge and there's barely anything for you to learn/discover now. I don't say this out of hate, but actually out of love and support to see you try new things. Thank you for all the work, time, tears, and Count Dracula impressions you put into these videos and I still look forward to more content (be it pokemon or your other favorite games) from you.

    Question: Why not teach it Mega Drain over Night Shade? Against all the Rock/Ground types in the game, a 4x Mega Drain is stronger than a neutral Psychic, and the extra healing might come in handy sometimes. For example, if Blue's Alakazam had landed a Psychic but not gotten the kill, you could have then Mega Drained the Rhydon to heal back all of that damage.

    • @AlbRomano

      And given that Exeggutor can't deal damage to Gengar it would be quite safe in that regard. But the rival battles would become a couple of turns longer due to lack of neutral damage to Exegguto. 1/2 damage on a pokemon with 125 special and 95 hp? 4 or 5 turns, maybe.

    Onix KO'ing Gengar with Bide was baffling, and there isn't anything on Bulbapedia that indicates Bide should have done more than 18 damage since Onix didn't hurt itself in confusion. My only guess is the game somehow treated the confusion check as the last damage dealt, and since the game rolls a number between 0 and 255 for checks, it could have very well picked a number higher than 14, meaning it would have done at least 30 damage, and possibly up to 510.
