      @@RBYPokemonChallenges In a minimum battles solo playthrough? (And maybe a Brock Skip) I think some pokemon with better typings but a far worse moveset might be in trouble. Golbat has a terrible moveset probably needs a lot of confusion strats to manage to kill opponents with Psychic moves and smart AI like Koga in Yellow or Sabrina in Red/Blue (not sure about Sabrina but I rewatched your no TM Yellow playthrough against Koga and it seems pretty hard on a lower level even if you get Hyper Beam. Also the rivals Alakazam might be pretty hard.
      Beedril has better speed than Parasect but worse defensive Stats and struggles because it can't use spore or Growth to build a slow defense. So it has to be lucky with a SD Set up and needs to one hit a lot. Its speed might make it possible though I'm not sure.
      Electrode has only normal and electric attacks so at least in yellow it has to use/mimic Double team against Giovanni. (Or maybe it is able to prove me wrong with Hyper Beam, Reflect and Sub or something like that). But with sonic boom against brock and the Hiker it may be able to win the game without a glitch.
      I think overall I still go with Golbat as the worst fully evolved. It has okay stats and is not as bad at it seems, but Idk, on minimum battles the moveset seems to bad to win against some opponents without very much luck with confusion. In your video you used Double team what I consider much more than Bide what Parasect needed. (Not trying to argue with your list there, but when it's about which pokemon I consider worse, a pokemon that have problems with more opponents but uses the same Broken TM to handle all of them instead of needing one for only one or a few opponents, the first broken TM breaks more opponents and is more broken in this regard) And Double team is that type of move that breaks every trainer unless you are getting onehit by the first pokemon when it's faster.

    • @RBYPokemonChallenges
      @RBYPokemonChallenges  2 місяці тому +1

      Because it is limited to only some pokemon. I generally label it as a "Broken TM" when it meets the criterion of being OP or being used for glitch setups AND learnable by all Pokemon that learn TMs.
      Some cases -
      Bide can be used to cheese return self-inflicted confusion damage (glitch) and is learnable by all Pokemon that get TMS = broken.
      Mimic allows pokemon unnecessarily large type coverage (OP) and is learnable by all Pokemon = broken.
      Rage is learnable by all Pokemon that get TMs, BUT is a weak move that locks the player out of any other action and rarely wins fights = not broken.
      Body Slam is one of the strongest TMs in the game with a ridiculous 30% Paralysis chance, but is not learnable by every Pokemon that gets TMS = non broken.
      That is the logic behind the decision making in Gen 1. Gen 2, when GSC Pokemon Challenges gets there is going to be interesting though, because arguably there are a lot of generic, but not overwhelming TMS like Return, Hidden Power, Detect, etc.
