- After every battle my Pokemon get randomized. As far as I'm aware this type of challenge has never been done before, but it was a ton of fun!

Just imagine being Blaine. Some dude walks in, sends out a bug-type whilst yelling encouragement to it. You kill it quick, and he sends out another one. Once again, finish it quick. Your challenger sends out 4 METAPODS IN QUICK SUCCESSION AND CONTINUES BEING SUPER POSITIVE. Obviously you beat the guy, but you’re fuckin stunned. Then he COMES BACK WITH MORE
Blaine: "I've lived too long on this planet"
The best strat is to get Blaine to forfeit out of sheer confusion
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA METAPODS!
(I have no idea why this makes me think of that, but it does)
This just proves that SmallAnt would be a Bugcatcher as his trainer class if he was in the game
@@QueenCloveroftheice makes sense that Ant would train bugs.
20:38 Not only was it a smiley face, it's appearance in Gold/Silver is the first usage of an emoticon in any video game ever. I remembered this randomly a bit ago, and l can't believe l got an organic way to tell someone about it.
I... Did not know that. Well then. That is pretty cool.
It looked like a pp

@@diegolomba2613 Haha maybe he was too used to Red and Blue before the physical and special stat split
Diego Lomba Ahktually, he used Thundershock.
@@jakewakefield4729 gen two was also no physical special split
If you look closely, the clouds behind Ant don't move. I'm starting to suspect... that Ant freezes time when he streams. That's how he gets so many speedrun records!
Well, it appears to be the only logical explanation.
that's why it only takes 20mins
inb4 woosh comment.
As long as he can prove to the mods that it doesn't mess with the timer...
ZA WARUDO!
Hoping a level 40 Gengar outsped a level 73 Espeon was ambitious lol. They're the same base speed.
Yeah, but Ant's Pokemon had EVs, and in Gens 1 & 2, all your stats could be maxed out with max EVs.
@@thewanderingmistnull2451 Mons had DVs in gen 1 and 2. THey were set 0-15. Even if Espeon had 0 and Gengar had 15, there's an extremely low chance of Gengar outspeeding.
@@strongside4565 actually not a single scenario where it outspeeds. 143 max vs 148 minimum
24:37 I'm pretty sure somewhere during this battle Blaine just stopped the fight and just went "How did you even GET here with only Metapods?!"
Metapod float
"You don't get to be champion without knowing how to spam full restores!"
“You should call your mom sometime...”
Cool Restores*
“Here’s an hm you’ll NEVER USE!”
I hate losing, like winning hates me!
I like that reference
"And so, the journey of Ant and his.... many, many disfunctional Ditto came to an end.
Mom went back home to clean the house and spend Ant's money on stuff she dumps in his PC.
Vet decided to become a vet. Not a very good one, since 95% of the time he couldn't hold his tools.
Nobody knows where Bryno went to this day.
Prince settled down somewhere very hot.
Abby decided to permanently stay as a metapod in the Ilex Forest. They say Mom occaisioanlly visits her as one of the various legendaries.
Serene gained international fame as the one to finish off Charizard once and for all, gaining untold wealth and riches before gambling it all away and being forced to run from debt collectors to a faraway region called Galar, where Charizard is once again the biggest mon around.
Logan and Josie are still trapped in the PC arguing over who gets to stay inside.

This. This is why UA-cam comments exist.
This is amazing.
its been emotional guys smolCry, but logan i'm staying in the pc

"guys you don't need to tell me how dragon rage works, I've put in a few thousand hours in pokemon games"
*IMMEDIATELY tries to use thundershock on a quagsire*
i love you
It was too perfect to not include in the video lmao
@@Smallant I respect it immensely
@@Smallant Polismol
The disappointment when he said “revive is a word”
It is a word though... am I not getting a joke or something?
Darien West I’m referring to ants disappointment
Oh ok I just completely misunderstood
Well I was disappointed he didn't troll
Wow, how nice of a starting team you have there! It would be a shame if *it got randomised*
No matter how tan you are, Smallant is always Tanner.
you should make sure you haven't got any unpaid child support, because that was one hell of a dad joke.
I'm pasty af, so not surprising
“My mom is calling me”. The Pokemon, the NPC, or the woman who birthed you?
Yes
The woman who birthed him
*birthed*
The three at the same time
both
4:05 yes please use that master ball on Luigi and send him back to his mansion.
Josie and Logan's back-and-forth in the chat from 19:06 to 19:40 was so dramatically and beautifully entertaining.
That final fight was really the culmination of the run, Mom trying to solo carry and punished for forgetting to teach HMs and all.
I'm glad he told us his name was Tanner because when he revealed it on the mediashare stream I honestly thought he was just making a joke but no that actually is his name neat
That final battle literally took EVERYTHING and I wouldn't want it any other way
I kinda wish he revived the golem and then self destructed
Oh, that Blaine encounter was a thing of beauty.
9:36 Shoutout to ikaely who referenced Terry the Tangela from Brian David Gilbert with his Perfect Pokerap
I feel like the Red fight was similar to Ants childhood: Relies on mom to do everything then realises he has to some stuff himself and freaks the hell out, but gets through it in the end.
I Fing lost it when he went against the fire gym leader and his roster rolled all bug types and 4 metapods wtf xD
I 100% respect Vet for making it so when you get a metapod, the other pokemon will be metapods
alternate title: "smallant says something and is immediately proved wrong"
Time stamp?
@@Nylspider
its at least 9 different ones and i dont feel like watching the video again, although my favorite one was 'ive put thousands of hours into pokemon' immediately followed by using thunderbolt on quagsire.
@@brentramsten249 oh yeah that was memorable
But where else did it happen?
@@Nylspider every i think (name) can take it and they die
@@demonphysician everyone does that tho
So, just for reference, assuming it wasn't some kind of meme in the hack:
The chances of getting five of a kind out of 251 possible pokemon is one in 996,250,626,251 or approximately one in a trillion. Edit, eleven metapods is... 24,912,134,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (24 Duodecillion I think)
Oh Arceus, Ant must've had -bad- good luck.
vet literally said it was an easter egg in the steam
That sounds cool and all, but no, thats not at all the odds. What you did is take 251 with an exponent on 5 to get 996,250,626,251. What you are not factoring in however is that getting 5 of the same pokemon in a team of 6 is far more likely than getting 5 of the same pokemon in a team of 5. The number you gave is assuming that the team only had 5 pokemon. You are also assuming that all 5 pokemon has to be the specific pokemon you are looking for, however if all you want is 5 of the same pokemon, it doesnt matter what that pokemon is. That essentially means that you can multiply your probability by 251.
Getting 5 of the same pokemon is really unlikely, but the numbers you gave really has nothing to do with the actual probability
@@lghal1 Remember - Could also be him calculating 5 metapod in a row. We know that the way the pokemon are randomised are ordered top to bottom *because* of the way the Easter egg works. So we aren't calculating 5 metapod in a party If it was Metapod XXX Metapod Metapod etc... then your reasoning in fair, but they are sequential, so they can be modeled to be 5 in a row, or in this case 11 in a row.
Now, if we were taking it to be specifically metapod then the numbers are correct. but like you said, if we want 5 of any party member in a row it would be 1 in 39850020505 and for 11 of any party member it is 1 in 9.88561066x10^23 Which is still phenomenally big.
For reference the actual chance of this happening with the Easter egg is 1 in 63253 apparently. So Ant was still very unlucky :)
@@liveportalfeedenglishchane5928 The Easter Egg was that if any Pokemon became Metapod, all Pokemon after it were Metapod, right? In which case, your math seems just a little off, unless the Easter Egg also manipulated its odds to decrease them a bit.
Math
Since there are *251 total Pokemon,* the chances for *any of his party members being randomized to Metapod is 6/251.* And the chance for *each individual party member is 1/6 of that,* so the probability of him having *a Metapod-only party would be 1/251,* since only if the first Pokemon randomized to Metapod would the rest follow. The same would go for having a party of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 Metapod. So, what we really need to calculate then, is *the chances of it happening twice in a row,* since they all have the same probability, which is *(1/251)X(1/251), which is 1/63001.* What this all means is that *a Metapod team of any number has a 1/63001 chance* of being followed by any other Metapod team of any number. A 2 Metapod team followed by a 5 Metapod team is just as likely as a 2 Metapod team followed by a 2 Metapod team.
For the record, 63001/8192 is 7.6905517578125, meaning ant was nearly 8 times as likely to find a shiny as to having the Metapod thing happen twice in a row.
Fun fact: The lone Team Rocket member here is from Unova. You encounter him in Black and White in the town where Brycen's gym is.
How can u tell it's him?
@@SuperAmazingPower when you talk to him, and from what I found since it's been a while since I played it, he talks about setting up Team Rocket in Unova but gave up his dream when he got married. Hes in Icirrus City with his wife and son. I also think he mentions Cerulean City as well but again, it's been a while. But I do remember him being there. Always found it neat.
@@Ace_of_Schrades Late reply, but he's in a building at the bottom of one of the towns only accessible in the winter season if I remember correctly
@@CelenalPkb yup. Hes with his family there.
I absolutely love how the RNG was screaming for the entire run: "I WANT YOU TO GRIND"
Poketuber: I’m doing a ultra randomizer
Smallant: I’m 3 universes ahead of you
Tyranitartube be like: I am hundreds of realities ahead of you with my extreme randomizer foolish mortal!

Nah, it's just the northern lights.
i’ve named every one of my pokémon seriously, with fitting names. except my quagsire, who is named yeet.
What does the quagsire know
@@Caialarik835 Seismic toss, rock throw, vital throw, and fling
@Preston Dempsey Thank you kind stranger
This man must be very proud of Mom.
Ant: * switches in mom as a mewtwo* oh you don’t know any psychic type moves
Future sight: am I a joke to you
I’m out Of ideas yes
I'm two months late to tell you Future Sight actually did typeless damage until gen gen 5 buffed it.
PetruciosXD {ƤΔŘΔǤỮΔƗ} oh I didn’t actually know that, and don’t worry about being 2 months late
@@muncher5091 Kinda like Future Sight, actually. Coincidence? Yeah.
I guess you could say it didn't have any psychic moves *yet*
Imagine Blane like "this weirdo came to my fire gym with a full metapod team... twice"
Pokemon, but you start with a Bulbasaur, and the Pokedex number of your Pokemon increases after every trainer battle. If it gets to the last Pokemon in the Pokedex (different depending on what Pokemon game it is), it goes back to Bulbasaur. You have to beat each battle with what Pokemon you have for that battle.
Smallant: I like the challenge runs because they require creative problem solving
Also Smallant: *PP stalls Red with hyper potions*
My favorite character in this game is easily the "Bye-Bye a go-go" guy
15:15 I was honestly thinking the same thing with some of the Pokémon Movesets I got during my playthrough.
When MOM comes through clutch bringing home your favorite meal which she got you after you randomized your Pokémon twice and luckily was able to teach her fly
That last barrel was so intense I haven’t felt like that since I was a kid trying to beat red on my own
Yes, barrels can be intense. When they're full of beer.
My god was this a journey. From beating the Elite Four with his OP mom to beating Red? Literally one of the most exciting and captivating videos I’ve ever seen
I very often rewatch these while I get ready for bed and they all bring me so much joy 8-)
UA-cam recommended pulling through. Didn't even realize this was a 45 minute video until 20min in
I didn’t realise until I read this
Terry the Tangela, you are missed.
NOT TERRY WHYYY *cries*
Good reference
Cause you loved terry terribly
3:02 looking like the squirtle gang
Not only do I love watching the stream but the videos are just as fun, and seeing your excitement for beating red a second time was just as cute as the first
☺️
Damn, the animations for crystal are just so goood.
That last battle was intense! GG slowpoke. Can’t believe that Pokémon did most of the work!
Battles like the one against Red are why the OG Pokemon games can still be some of the most intense things ever... Waiting for that one move to hit without getting Ko'd yourself by a crit is similar to trying to catch a legendary without running out of pokeballs. These moments are what make the OG games still great
That feel when you use enough revives and hyper potions that Wing Attack runs out of PP.
According to my low effort high-school level math, the chance that you're randomly given eleven straight metapods is 0.00000000000000000000000000401%. That's 26 zeroes lmaooo
I think I recall him saying that there's a feature in the randomizer where if the first Pokemon in your party is a bug type, the rest are all metapods
Not sure tho
Edit: I was wrong, but I was close...
there was a "feature" in the randomizer where if a pokemon rolled as a metapod all of the pokemon below it would be a metapod as well
imagine doing this run in a modern game, like ultra sun/moon, or maybe even sword and shield
Then you could do it with one hand
You could complete the run without your cerebral cortex.
You would only ever have to press A. No strategy required
@@willbowden6897 There would be a lot more Pokemon, so it's a lot more variety.
Yeah, but modding is to hard, and you need an emulator, and a torrent of the game - which your probably gonna get police on you, unless your in the right country or you set it up right
What a good son, taking his mom's call even in the middle of a stream.
"We'll beat Red first try"
Oh yeah sure, 10 mins I'm sure you'll edit multiple tries together..
Oh damn dude!
That Blaine fight is probably the luckiest pool of Pokémon for the whole run, especially the 2nd fight.
There's a trainer somewhere in HGSS (not sure if he existed in Gold/Silver) who has a team full of level 60+ Metapods XD
In a certain stream I like to watch, we made it a tradition to pray to Metapod and made it our god. I was very pleased to see your team of six Metapod fight Blaine's Pokémon, it showed your dedication and trust in the Pod. For this act, Metapod shall bless your future runs, no matter what game it will be. Thank you for believing. Have a nice day
Do this challenge with other pokemon games! It would be hilarious getting a mega evolve chance for a lucario as a starter
21:27 It was at this moment, that he knew, the Metapods had returned
and then again at 23:28
And now... POKEMON NUZLOCKE BUT AFTER EVERY BATTLE MY TEAM IS RANDOMIZED!
But it is pokemon species not a normal nuzlocke
Ant’s Twitch viewers 10 seconds after joining the stream and not reading the title: WHAT RUN ARE YOU DOING?
Imagine reading in 2019
14:21 good on that guy for going to the Konosuba movie, maybe we went to the same theater, who knows?
"I'll probably be Tanner" Haha yeah. Be even funnier if we shared a name.
Oh shi-
That 5/6 metapod teams were something
That red fight had me clenching.
The ending of the video I was pumping my arm saying let’s go when red was finished with
I love when Ant gives sass to stupid questions, it fills me with joy
"is revive short for revitalize" i literally choked on my own spit lMAO
the Tanner joke caught me off guard. got a good laugh from that, nice delivery with that one lmao
11:21 its like watching a broken version of Yoda lol
I can't play pokemon for 10 minutes without dying of boredom, but I can watch other people play it for hours
Amazing he pulled all this off in just 20 minutes
20 hours*
There _had_ to be some sort of glitch that caused all the pokemon to roll into Metapod at the same time. The odds of getting 1/251 6 times in a row is 1 in 250,058,907,189,001. It's more likely for Dream's speedruns to be legit than this coincidence being an organic one.
I love how Ant's mom is carrying the entire run. Just like your mom is carrying your entire childhood into becoming a successful adult. :D
Getting the all-metapod team fairly is so improbable that it was almost certainly programmed into the mod at higher odds.
It was a bug in the code where if any pokemon in the party was a metapod then all rest of the party following it would also be metapod
19:20 josie deserved it don't be mad at me
logan 4221 take it back
I am enraged.
logan no 😩
I'm furious
Ant fucks around all the time in Pokemon and then just is like
👏S👏P 👏E👏E👏D👏R👏U👏N
Great content tho man you're funny as hell
I like how Ant's screams are quieter than his actual talking voice lol
bro how i have missed you so, love this series hope it treats you well
The rain is hard, Lapras comes, SmallAnt summons the almighty power of Brynno. Brynno is a Muk, and with hand raised, the rain ends under his power, Brynno, getting ready to attack... literally has no damaging attacks...
That metapod streak is actually the most insane luck/unluck I’ve ever seen
2:27 "i have class tomorrow and its 10:30 PM"... what a mad lad
When I saw the muk’s move set at 14:34 I died laughing
not only was his team random but also underleveled xD
This is one of the rarest video which a watch,which are over 30 Mon(without skip :P)
And one more thing,I didn't played Pokémon games as smart as you ,I just use attacks which do damage, sometimes I use leech and poison power like attacks but I don't use attacks like amnesia in late game
NOW I THINK I SHOULD
if red didn't use fire spin you would have lost
i think the move ran of pp.. nut yeah if it wouldnt have change deff would lost
@@kevinpenn3424 Flamethrower definitely hadn't run out though, and Flamethrower was a better move than even wing attack once Slowpoke lost its Special Defense boosts. I'm not sure that Wing Attack actually ran out of PP or the AI realised that it would just do more damage with resisted flamethrower given Slowpoke's higher physical than special bulk and Charizard's higher special than physical attack..
That 5 metapods thing again I swear has to be the rarest thing in gaming.
Its happened like 4 times so there is probably like a 5% chance that it will happen upon randomizing.
@@trashman3319 has to be. Usually its like 1 in a trillion just to get 5 of them same pokemon once.
A comment from the guy that made this apparently said that was intentional, so metapods have a raised chance of occuring.
"We've gotten all five legendary birds"
*Wait what*
bro you're super entertaining, keep it up !
Ant’s pokedex: What is going on with this guy’s team?
"Josie is a Raikou" sounds like an indie power pop girl group.
Man that Red battle was stressful as hell haha!
Ah hell yeah, I've been waiting to see the next part.
If you think you are safe from ants just because SmallAnt got 5 metapods in the battle against you, just remember that durant can learn guillotine and that X Accuracies exist. Blaine is not safe from the ants, and he never shall be.
i swear the thumbnails mixed plus the titles to your videos makes it sound like those meme videos and its fuckin hilarious
9:21
"my girlfriend's really into- "
it's because of tangle stim toys obviously 😃
Bro used 30 hyper potions and said first try lmaooo
Me watching Smallant videos..
"Can i use your phone to make a call?"
Me: "wait til the video is finished please"
"Okay how longs the video?"
"Only 20 more minutes"
Every time 🥰🤣
This was an experience
Anyone notice that at 15:45 vaporeons HP stat went down when it leveled up? Maybe that's been happening the whole time but it's the first time I noticed it.
