That was gonna be a thing in my next vid hahaha! I am literally sitting here writing out the plan and you are 1 step ahead of me :D Theres a bit more to my next idea than just that but dang! I'm gonna have to work extra hard now to add some stuff to surprise you now lolol
@ to be fair it was pretty much all luck😂 It didnt even occur to me this would cause a loss to someone until someone did it to me.. and im assuming it didnt occur to my opponent either lol
@@joshsnyder3979There's a famous instant win strategy in Yu-Gi-Oh where you collect the five pieces of Exodia into your hand to trigger an automatic victory. There is another strategy using exodia, and a lot of niche and forgotten spell cards that enables the player to place all five of their exodia pieces from their deck into their opponent's hand to instantly lose the game on their first turn. I have all the pieces required for that deck :)
I won with aerodactyl like that, so satisfying to pull off. Made a deck around aerodactyl and persian, got another funny win when I made my opponent ragequit when I forced him to discard his mewtwoEX and gardevoir from his hand :p
I know hindsight is 20/20, but I definitely would have red carded in game 9. Your hint is the fact that they already had wartortle, and they were pumping it instead of lapras. That would be a lot less likely if they weren't already confident in the Blastoise.
Psssh, wait til you see my next challenge I guarantee its way dumber :D I'm still brainstorming but I 90% know what I'm doing and I think I can outdo myself in this factor!
THE WAY I LITERALLY CHEERED WHEN YOU SAID AERODACTYL I fucking love TCGP's Aerodactly so much, I literally won a game against a really strong Charizard ex deck that SHOULD have kicked my ass by simply throwing away the Zard when they hadn't gotten any other mons out yet. Best TCG match I've ever had across all three games.
this is super easy if you're lucky. I've done this by just having Aerodactyl in my deck. I wasn't even aiming to do it. i was just given a good hand. at the end of the day this game really is luck based.
Congrats, here is your 'No Damage' badge :D Also yeah i think there is a ton of luck in this game. Some top level players can win fairly consistently and tournaments use a best of 3 set to try to account for all the luck, but there is still a lot of rng. I don't mind though, I enjoy trying to find fun strats in all the luck :D
Teleport is not quite the same as retreat as you keep the energy with teleport. So in instances where you are being forced to put a benched pokemon on active you can always teleport it back without needing to put another energy on it.
You are correct! We talked about this a bit on the stream. Couldn't find a basic with 0 retreat and I didn't anticipate needing to teleport more than once, although, if I got sabrina'ed, then it might have come in clutch if I didn't have a benched fossil!
Unfortunately, teleport is worse than retreat since it is an attack and will end your turn. Where retreating the Abra for the same 1 energy will allow you to still attack with the pokemon you swapped into
That explains why the weird Cartepie, Fossil guy, that used Pokedex surrendered right at the beginning, eventhough I didn't even had that great cards XD Not sure if that was really you, or someone who copyed your deck after watching this video XD
You should try out Pidgeotto + Sabrina + Victreebell. You can make your oponent switch out then back in then back out. Its pretty evil. Video title could be: How to make my opponent laugh the hardest, and then concede
Ooo thats a fun one! Lots of wonderful ideas kekeke I used to run double pidgeot before I got sabrina...hmmm...I might try something like this thanks for the suggestion!
Hey now I only complete 'possible' challenges :D jkjk I've actually lost with my pika deck a few times. Dark and rushdown decks can be effective against it.
If you wanted to win on a technicality you could have waited until you queued into an opponent with damage reduction like cubone or mr. mime, then allow yourself to use meowth because it would do zero damage.
This was fun to watch live, I honestly thought this was going to take more attempts than it did. Was very hype when the strategy finally worked. Come join Sneaky's streams people. It's been fun to hang out in them. Also, for anyone wondering at 14:42, what I was referring to in mtg is stuff like the fetchlands combined with Delver of Secrets peaks, Brainstorms, Courser of Kruphix, etc.
Using a 0 Retreat cost Pokemon like Electrode or Dodrio could have been used as 3rd and 4th copies of X-speed as well, I liked the clever inclusion of Scope and Red Card, if you wanted to turn this into a torture challenge you could add a rule when you can't conceed and revisit this :P
Hahaha a few folks have mentioned the no-concede rule. You have some good suggestions but we are actually limited to 2 copies of each card, so no 3rd x-speed. I did not use electrode or dodrio because i thought evolving them would take too long; thinking back now though maybe that would have been a good idea!
@@SneakyDragon To clarify about the 3rd and 4th X-speed thing, I meant that if say Doduo was your Basic Pokemon, then drawing either X-speed or Dodrio would give you a free Retreat; a bit like having 4 x-speeds, except 2 of them you can't play on your first turn :)
For a much more sane challenge, how about a poison only win? Dark+Grass (weezing+erika fodder), mayhaps? Props for sitting through that long to get the win, patience of a saint.
Oooo I like this idea! Someone else mentioned poison too, but your idea of adding grass stall might push it into viable for me! Cool name btw latin for 'true star'? Very cool!
Hahaha, I like the way you think! In this case though I wanted to keep things fun for the stream viewers too. Maybe some day if I become big enough and have lots of folks in chat at once to keep everyone entertained I can add extra rules like that!
I immediately realized the strat he'll use when he brought up emptying the active area and bench. I'm calling it now. The strat is to use aerodactyl to phase out all their pokemon and hope they run out of basics. Probably with butterflies and hypno for sleep and heal support.
The raw stream footage in the 2nd half kind of killed the pacing of the video and revealed that this is actually just a surrender fest to roll the proverbial die enough times until you draw the right cards and the opponent draws the wrong cards. Some tighter editing to just explain some of the highlights from the games until the final few turns where you finally get the win, would have really brought this video home. Include stats of course, you don't have to hide how many games it took to make it happen, but I also didn't need to FEEL how excruciatingly long it took to finally RNG into a win.
I feel like starmie and/or electrode would be definitely more beneficial to the deck than alot of cards like caterpie, porygon or the card that makes you see the op hand, as it virtually gives you more copies of x speed.
I'd love to see more alternative wincons! Decking out might be hard since it happens really often with 20 cards, but it would be so fun if there were more ways to win. I totally agree they make for really interesting tactics and decks!
Theres some interesting design space here in pocket with resource exchanges, imagine discarding your active mon for reshuffling the remainder of your discard into your deck.
I’m not done watching the video yet, but did you consider putting doduo in your deck? It can retreat for free, and it’s compatible with any energy you may need.
Hi! I think you mean dodrio, (doduo needs 1 energy). Since dodrio is an evolved pokemon, I hadn't considered it. Though, if I did the challenge again, I might consider stage 1 0-cost retreaters like dodrio and electrode!
@ ohh okay, thanks for the clarification. I somehow hadn’t realized that doduo wasn’t a free retreat pokemon like dodrio. I can see how that might not work.
*is 3 minutes into the video* You have a really good voice for YT videos. Like you have *just* the right amount of energy and clarity. lol I don't know, it's enjoyable to listen to. 10:26 HARRASS. XD
3:15 2 electabuzz and one promo mankey would work, or just one pkmn that kos itself with no backup edit: 3:25 i find that fossil pkmn are good for when you dont want extra basic pkmn but still want something to fill up your deck thats better than the other stuff you have edit 2: 28:10 i can think of 3 reasons they brought gengar, 1: they wanted to show off the full art, 2: they weren't done deckbuilding and thus gengar was the best they had (like how you only had one areodactyl) and 3: they thought they were better at the game than they actually were
Funny enough, I accidentally did this at 2am last night. I built a deck with Aerodactyl, promo jiggly, wiggly ex, mew, and Drowzee/hypno. I found out today that the turn limit is 30, against a Charizard deck.
There's a card called brainstorm that lets you draw 3 cards and then you have to put 2 cards of your choice from your hand on top of your deck, the idea is that you put cards you don't need from your hand on top of your deck and then shuffle them away, negating the "cost" of the draw 3
My version ran pidgeot to have a little bit more control over what they could hit me with, but I'm loving the porygon tech and might have to do it again haha
great challenge!! what happen with an evolve pokemon if discarded? his basic version and his posible fase 1 are discarded too or they disapear from deck?
My first idea for another challenge was "Win by only dealing Damage with poison" but because swapping cures poison I'm not sure if that's not a bit too hard🤔 Another one could be "Win with only Basic Pokémon that could evolve". So no Farfetch'd and only stuff like Squirtle. Maybe some crazy multitype shenanigans🤔
I did this challange with my charizard deck that runs an aerodactly against a mewtwo deck. I never got any charmander and my moltres never attacked, when I saw the guy pumping the mewtwo I was afraid that he was going to kill the moltres and changed it back with the aero that procceded to send the mewtwo and the gardevoir away, very cool way of winning.
Promo Jigglypuff for sleep turns? Well you don't want to put an energy on it huh. Also, while not that strong, Abra's Teleport is basically just that it can retreat without losing its energy. Basically it has a built in x speed.
Haha! Oof not with this deck! I stream my 5 consecutive run, got it pretty quick, then I conceded 100 times in a row to help other folks. Maybe I'll post a vid of that at some point!
I commend you for your patience on this challenge, and I've got a great idea for another challenge for you to try. When you examine a player's stats, you can see what their highest damage attack of all time was. I think it would be cool to see you break 300 max damage and have it be on your record forever. There are a few mons you can try this with, including alakazam and lickitung. Would make for a pretty fun video imo
Thats a good idea! Thanks! I've been playing a bit of lickatung lately for funsies, but I'll record my attacks and see if I can get a really high one :D
I know I'm late but wouldn't this be easier if instead of Caterpie you used a mon with a possible 0 retreat cost? Like Dodrio and Starmie. Essentially this gives you a second out to get Aerodactyl on the active instead of X Speed you can just evolve and retreat
wouldn't this deck be able to work without Caterpie? i'm pretty sure you would have better luck using just two Porygon and Aerodactal. having a second Aero would also help fill up your deck which i do have; i'm just thinking up the most optimal deck if you had all the cards you could need i was also thinking that Dratini could be a helpful basic Pokémon in this deck sense they have slightly more health than the average basic evolving Pokémon, one retreat cost and no weaknesses, so it'd be better at walling than Porygon's 50 health and Fighting weakness
You are right, the final version of the deck would have likely worked better porygon replacing all of the caterpie if I had another porygon. A second aero would have made it sooo much easier too. I'm kind of glad though I ended up missing some cards because I feel like lots of youtubers somehow have all the cards and I want to show that you can do cool stuff even as free to play! Good point about the dratini, it would have probably been better than the 2nd caterpie!
It would have made the challenge go faster! Also I think it wouldn't change the deck BUT I might have made changes based on some of the comments folks had some good ideas!
I’m just curious, wouldn’t it be theoretically possible to attack as early as turn 2 if you used misty? although it would be much more luck based banking on a starting hand like aerodactyl misty old amber caterpie and then hoping for x speed it could be cool as an extra layer to the strategy
@@SneakyDragoni have genuinely no idea how after like 70 battles i just realized this now, after trying to use misty on a centiskorch😭😭😭 if only i checked my yt notifications first lol
Why no butterfree as plant type “clutter”? Lower retreat than metapod should you need to evolve the active caterpie and adds healing should you need it late game
Wait a minute, what about if your opponent has only a Muk or Weezing and they use Koga? You would win because they don't have any Pokemon left, but would you have counted that as a surrender? Or you would have won the challenge?
Ooof that makes 3 people who have figured out part of my next video already :D There will be more stuffs than that in it though ;) Clever thoughts! Also if that had happened I probably would have not counted it since I did not cause it.
I found a way of wining with other way u need some one using zapdos as main and que erikas to heal a +100hp pokemon and sabrina to force him play zapdos and kill own team
Vulpix would be a good stall! However in this challenge, if I stalled too long victory would become impossible, which is why I didn't use vulpix. Good thinking though!
What are the odds of this actually happening? I made the calculations Having at least 1 (out of 2) fossil on your first turn is 46.78% On top of that, having 1 (out of 1) aero on your second turn, reduces the odds to 13.24% On top of that, having at least 1 (out of 2) xspeed on your second turn, reduces the odds to 5.75% This still does not consider the odds of the player having more than 1 pokemon....
This is the kind of math I like! Good stuff! I think with the reshuffle tech, prof oak (unless you accounted for oak already), and the possibility of fossil delaying 1 additional turn, maybe we can bump the final number up to 3-5%? I'm releasing a lickitung math video soon you might like :D
@@SneakyDragon oh, totally forgot to consider professors research. They make way more annoying to compute by hand. I might need to write a script for that
@@PietroPepeTech I have written entire programs for this stuff before, I think I'm satisfied with an answer of about 5% though. If you like this kind of stuff though I do have a discord discord.gg/dWGd8qe3 (though tbh not much happens in it atm, but one day! One day I will be a big youtuber with lots of fun math discussions about the probabilities of gaming things!)
I just wanted you to know that when I read this at the time (I couldn't respond right away; was on phone) it really boosted my spirits and made me feel like I had made a good vid if someone felt this way. Thank you
LMAO what a crazy challenge 😂 round of applause to you sir 👏 👏 👏
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
This video was way too long and slow. Even at 2x speed it felt like yapping.
You didn’t need to concede so much what the fuck? You could use aerodactyl effect more than one and still win.
I have done this in a different way...... my opponent ended themselves by using koga with no benched pokemon
That was gonna be a thing in my next vid hahaha! I am literally sitting here writing out the plan and you are 1 step ahead of me :D Theres a bit more to my next idea than just that but dang! I'm gonna have to work extra hard now to add some stuff to surprise you now lolol
@ to be fair it was pretty much all luck😂 It didnt even occur to me this would cause a loss to someone until someone did it to me.. and im assuming it didnt occur to my opponent either lol
Most likely they did.
Theres way more style in sepuku, koga self-kill than just clicking concede. Cant blame them

Funny cause i just spent the last few days beating people with aerodactyl 😂

Thanks!
I know hindsight is 20/20, but I definitely would have red carded in game 9. Your hint is the fact that they already had wartortle, and they were pumping it instead of lapras. That would be a lot less likely if they weren't already confident in the Blastoise.
Ooof, yeah, I was debating so hard to do it! Thats a good point towards red carding for sure!
this was the dumbest challenge in the world. i love it

It's more difficult for "no win by surrender" than win by aerodactyl itself
Most things are super easy if you’re lucky
This was awesome, watching you build the deck gave me “Exodia” vibes with how it was constructed on searching for a single card
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I really love doing crazy challenges and pushing the limits of a game. CATERPIE! OBLITERATE! :D
All I can think of is the "Let's go gambling" sound bite lol
I actually did this once by chance, but obviously the opponent got very unlucky with draws. Now I feel bad that I got it without trying lol
Thats amazing! Congrats! :) Don't feel bad, you are a part of a very exclusive club :D I herebye award you the 'No Damage' badge
Teleport is not quite the same as retreat as you keep the energy with teleport. So in instances where you are being forced to put a benched pokemon on active you can always teleport it back without needing to put another energy on it.

Crazy challenge, lose using a pikachu EX deck
Hey now I only complete 'possible' challenges :D jkjk I've actually lost with my pika deck a few times. Dark and rushdown decks can be effective against it.
If you wanted to win on a technicality you could have waited until you queued into an opponent with damage reduction like cubone or mr. mime, then allow yourself to use meowth because it would do zero damage.
That is GENIUS! I'm going to remember this, maybe I can use it in a future challenge! Thanks for the idea!

@@SneakyDragon cool that it's in the game though, funny ex killer, i hadn't seen that card yet

You forgot if they evolve all their Pokemon…. Then they get returned to the hand
While I did do damage, I thought it was hilarious that once my opponent defeated himself by Koga-ing his only pokemon.
You might like my next vid releasing soon... Also for reasons that will become clear later here: 'YOU GOT THE PSYCHIC BADGE!'
Keep opening those mewtwo packs for Aerodactyl 😂
Lol! True enough! Though I gotta focus on pikachu packs atm since I''m missing the most cards from there.
As someone that runs a solo Articuno EX deck this would have me worried.
I run an Articuno-18 deck sometimes for quick games, but I think adding things like starmie EX make it a bit stronger!
I laughed hard when you explained why the additional rule of only 1 aerodactyl
Was there a reason for not using butterfree instead of gloom and kakuna? The ability could help aerodactyl survive longer once setup.
Thats a really good point! Thanks for tip! I'll keep this in mind for future challenges!
Man if dureludon was here at the time this would be way easier

Might have been me lol, but if I have copy cats then I guess this vid did pretty well! Its my most viewed of all time atm.
I like that this is just like sequencing for the regular tcg. Smart tho
Thanks!
Thats why we should have some sort of deck out alternate win condition. Those always make for interesting or diffrent decks at least
I'd love to see more alternative wincons! Decking out might be hard since it happens really often with 20 cards, but it would be so fun if there were more ways to win. I totally agree they make for really interesting tactics and decks!
In the normal TCG you lose if you finish your deck. I know why it's not in this game but I'm sad there are no Mill decks
Theres some interesting design space here in pocket with resource exchanges, imagine discarding your active mon for reshuffling the remainder of your discard into your deck.
"since i went first i can't play energy" huh i didn't know that because i've LITERALLY NEVER GONE FIRST
:O Thats insane! Going second is considered much better hold on to that luck!
Electrode has zero retreat cost. If you add Voltorb/electrode to the deck it gives you another chance to get "lucky" outside of an x speed pull
Good point! A few folks have mentioned this I'll remember it going forward! Thanks!
Should've played against me when I tried to see what would happen when I use the explorer card on Mew EX 😂
Ooof! :D
video starts at 12:30
You could use misty to give energy to aerodactyl only when its active. It could allow you to attach energy to other pokemons in the first turns
Misty only works on water pokemon I'm afraid! but using it to give other pokemon energy to retreat is a good idea!
@SneakyDragon Yea but aerodactyl 's attack uses any energy as he s normal type
Nvm youre right 😅
I’m not done watching the video yet, but did you consider putting doduo in your deck? It can retreat for free, and it’s compatible with any energy you may need.

I seriously thought this would take 300 attempts.. Congrats!
THANKS!
You could also use moltres to put energy on aerodactyl faster
*is 3 minutes into the video* You have a really good voice for YT videos. Like you have *just* the right amount of energy and clarity. lol I don't know, it's enjoyable to listen to.
10:26 HARRASS. XD
This made my day, thank you!
winning Pokémon without dealing damage?
~visible confusion
😂
I think I might have already done this by accident, though I might have done a bit of damage. I’m still pretty sure it was a 0 prize win
Well done!
Abra keeps it's energy when teleporting that's why it's different than just retreating
True!
3:15 2 electabuzz and one promo mankey would work, or just one pkmn that kos itself with no backup
edit: 3:25 i find that fossil pkmn are good for when you dont want extra basic pkmn but still want something to fill up your deck thats better than the other stuff you have
edit 2: 28:10 i can think of 3 reasons they brought gengar, 1: they wanted to show off the full art, 2: they weren't done deckbuilding and thus gengar was the best they had (like how you only had one areodactyl) and 3: they thought they were better at the game than they actually were
Good insights! Promo Mankey is a great idea! Not sure if it was out yet when I did this, might have been? Great idea either way!
Abra's ability count as an attack so it is just worst than retreating.
He should’ve used Hypno for the sleep ability. And although the new Jigglypuff only came out now it would also help.😊
Truuuue folks been telling me :D Thanks! I'll try to use hypno in a future challenge!
this is actually so cool, w video.
Thanks!
Funny enough, I accidentally did this at 2am last night. I built a deck with Aerodactyl, promo jiggly, wiggly ex, mew, and Drowzee/hypno. I found out today that the turn limit is 30, against a Charizard deck.
Nice! Love the mew addition!
@SneakyDragon I worked hard for it. I had to put it in something lol
I’m curious 15:13 what magic the gathering strategy you copied
I'm not sure either, someone else told me that!
There's a card called brainstorm that lets you draw 3 cards and then you have to put 2 cards of your choice from your hand on top of your deck, the idea is that you put cards you don't need from your hand on top of your deck and then shuffle them away, negating the "cost" of the draw 3
My version ran pidgeot to have a little bit more control over what they could hit me with, but I'm loving the porygon tech and might have to do it again haha
I love Pidgeot! I ran it in all of my decks before I got sabrina!
great challenge!!
what happen with an evolve pokemon if discarded? his basic version and his posible fase 1 are discarded too or they disapear from deck?
Aero's attack returns cards to the deck! So it does not discard.
My first idea for another challenge was "Win by only dealing Damage with poison" but because swapping cures poison I'm not sure if that's not a bit too hard🤔
Another one could be "Win with only Basic Pokémon that could evolve". So no Farfetch'd and only stuff like Squirtle.
Maybe some crazy multitype shenanigans🤔
Some fun ideas, thank you!
There should be a secret mission with this challenge
ikr!
nice challenge man, u still good? like no crazy. now with jiggli is more probable
I was really hoping to see the results screen at the end with with the Damage Dealt stat at 0
Ah!!! You are right I should have showed that!
I did this challange with my charizard deck that runs an aerodactly against a mewtwo deck. I never got any charmander and my moltres never attacked, when I saw the guy pumping the mewtwo I was afraid that he was going to kill the moltres and changed it back with the aero that procceded to send the mewtwo and the gardevoir away, very cool way of winning.
Well done!
Promo Jigglypuff for sleep turns? Well you don't want to put an energy on it huh.
Also, while not that strong, Abra's Teleport is basically just that it can retreat without losing its energy. Basically it has a built in x speed.
Good points!
Now you just need to get 5 in a row for the event
Haha! Oof not with this deck! I stream my 5 consecutive run, got it pretty quick, then I conceded 100 times in a row to help other folks. Maybe I'll post a vid of that at some point!
I commend you for your patience on this challenge, and I've got a great idea for another challenge for you to try.
When you examine a player's stats, you can see what their highest damage attack of all time was. I think it would be cool to see you break 300 max damage and have it be on your record forever. There are a few mons you can try this with, including alakazam and lickitung. Would make for a pretty fun video imo
Thats a good idea! Thanks! I've been playing a bit of lickatung lately for funsies, but I'll record my attacks and see if I can get a really high one :D
@@SneakyDragon I'll be rooting for you!
6:05 I think I've randomly matched with ZzTrafalarzZ once, because that username looks insanely familiar.
Wow, small world!
I know I'm late but wouldn't this be easier if instead of Caterpie you used a mon with a possible 0 retreat cost?
Like Dodrio and Starmie. Essentially this gives you a second out to get Aerodactyl on the active instead of X Speed you can just evolve and retreat
A few folks have mentioned that, I wanted to avoid stage 1 pokemon but I'll consider it for future challenges!
me thinking of the time i used budding expeditioner on my mew without any benched pokemon :3
Oof, haha it happens! I tried to warn people about that ua-cam.com/video/hFH-Xka2R8Q/v-deo.html
wouldn't this deck be able to work without Caterpie? i'm pretty sure you would have better luck using just two Porygon and Aerodactal. having a second Aero would also help fill up your deck which i do have; i'm just thinking up the most optimal deck if you had all the cards you could need
i was also thinking that Dratini could be a helpful basic Pokémon in this deck sense they have slightly more health than the average basic evolving Pokémon, one retreat cost and no weaknesses, so it'd be better at walling than Porygon's 50 health and Fighting weakness
You are right, the final version of the deck would have likely worked better porygon replacing all of the caterpie if I had another porygon. A second aero would have made it sooo much easier too. I'm kind of glad though I ended up missing some cards because I feel like lots of youtubers somehow have all the cards and I want to show that you can do cool stuff even as free to play! Good point about the dratini, it would have probably been better than the 2nd caterpie!
Shatot would work well too
How different would the deck be if you had both aerodactyl if at all?
It would have made the challenge go faster! Also I think it wouldn't change the deck BUT I might have made changes based on some of the comments folks had some good ideas!
we need fossil research! XD
Love fossils!
It's all coming up 19!
Hahaha, that was a great journey. Legend!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the nice comment it really makes it feel worth doing!
I’m just curious, wouldn’t it be theoretically possible to attack as early as turn 2 if you used misty? although it would be much more luck based banking on a starting hand like aerodactyl misty old amber caterpie and then hoping for x speed it could be cool as an extra layer to the strategy
Misty only works on Water types
As zht09 said, misty is only for water types I'm afraid!
@@SneakyDragoni have genuinely no idea how after like 70 battles i just realized this now, after trying to use misty on a centiskorch😭😭😭 if only i checked my yt notifications first lol
My favourite part is that you said data instead of data
"Whats the difference?" "One is my name and one is not!" :D
Why no butterfree as plant type “clutter”? Lower retreat than metapod should you need to evolve the active caterpie and adds healing should you need it late game
Watching the full video makes sense to pair down the deck. Especially because there isn’t really a late game
You got it! Though you are also right I would have added it in the beginning but I am not sure if I had it at the time. #ftp :D
Wait a minute, what about if your opponent has only a Muk or Weezing and they use Koga? You would win because they don't have any Pokemon left, but would you have counted that as a surrender? Or you would have won the challenge?
Ooof that makes 3 people who have figured out part of my next video already :D There will be more stuffs than that in it though ;) Clever thoughts! Also if that had happened I probably would have not counted it since I did not cause it.
what a crazy man!! The idea was epic
Thanks!
With my luck I'm pretty sure you would have won first try against me
I hope you have good luck in your next game!
ive won without doing dmg with aerodactyle before. i opened it and the fossil and my opp had one basic the whole game. challenge done ez pz.
Congrats! I award you the 'No Damage' badge. Pokemon cards up to level 10 will now obey your orders even if received from a trade! ;)
He should have waited for mythical island pack chatot whould be really helpful their
What is the heads coin flip trick?
Supposedly (I am unsure if I believe this tbh sounds kinda fake) you can get heads by moving finger from the coin to the top of the screen.
Weird that you aren't running butterfree
should have added butterfree for the heal ability….
Missed opportunity. Future challenge maybe :)
This was fun to watch!
Thank you! This video was a ton of work and comments like this really make it feel worthwhile!
Umm... i think i might have won maybe three or four games without the other conceeding.
Wow! Here is a 'No Damage' badge :D
Next challenge: Loose without getting any damage and without surrendering or time out
You must have ton of psychic energies attached because that is really close to what I'm working on right now!
Blastoise only has one T 😂
Also. X speed. Not EX
@@lassorbrandon Spelling! My one true weakness! :D
Did unintentionnaly that aerodactyl strategy because i play a full normal deck, bros starmies got bullied into oblivion.
Congrats! Here is your 'no damage' badge :D

I found a way of wining with other way u need some one using zapdos as main and que erikas to heal a +100hp pokemon and sabrina to force him play zapdos and kill own team
I feel like vulpix would have helped to stall
Vulpix would be a good stall! However in this challenge, if I stalled too long victory would become impossible, which is why I didn't use vulpix. Good thinking though!
so awesome, nice strat
Thanks I really appreciate your kind words!
What are the odds of this actually happening? I made the calculations
Having at least 1 (out of 2) fossil on your first turn is 46.78%
On top of that, having 1 (out of 1) aero on your second turn, reduces the odds to 13.24%
On top of that, having at least 1 (out of 2) xspeed on your second turn, reduces the odds to 5.75%
This still does not consider the odds of the player having more than 1 pokemon....
This is the kind of math I like! Good stuff! I think with the reshuffle tech, prof oak (unless you accounted for oak already), and the possibility of fossil delaying 1 additional turn, maybe we can bump the final number up to 3-5%? I'm releasing a lickitung math video soon you might like :D
@@SneakyDragon oh, totally forgot to consider professors research. They make way more annoying to compute by hand. I might need to write a script for that
@@PietroPepeTech I have written entire programs for this stuff before, I think I'm satisfied with an answer of about 5% though. If you like this kind of stuff though I do have a discord
discord.gg/dWGd8qe3
(though tbh not much happens in it atm, but one day! One day I will be a big youtuber with lots of fun math discussions about the probabilities of gaming things!)
I did a similar thing, but I only won with ten damage from meowth
Nice!
somehow i got the win within a few tries. The team I built are around vulpix and hypno =))
Congrats! Here is your 'No Damage' Badge :D
where tf is promo jiggly
Surprised it's only got 20 likes
I just wanted you to know that when I read this at the time (I couldn't respond right away; was on phone) it really boosted my spirits and made me feel like I had made a good vid if someone felt this way. Thank you
