      I decided against Gengar because it doesn't get enough Poison moves to take advantage of its secondary typing. The couple of types Poison is super effective against were ultimately covered by my other mons, so it wasn't a concern either. And I feel like Gengar gets enough love that I didn't feel guilty leaving it behind.

    Just thinking about Gen 2 vs. Slowpoketails in curry, firstly, I almost never do it because it makes me a bit uncomfortable, but more importantly, if you read between the lines a bit, it makes some sense. The Slowpoke in Azalea Town are central to a big part of their culture, so Team Rocket chopping off their tails would be very upsetting to them, especially if they’re available legally elsewhere. Kind of like “well, I know we have tree farms, but I’ma make my cupboard out of a chunk of this super sensitive ecosystem.” I’m not in any hurry to use the tails still, (seriously, Pokémon made me a lot more understanding of vegetarianism and the like) but that’s just a theory…
    A SOMEHOW LEGALLY DISTINCT FROM GAME THEORY!
    Oh right, also, Dusclops, due to Mystery Dungeon nostalgia. Fighting Rayquaza isn’t a fun prospect for a Machop, and Duskull being able to learn Ice Beam helped a lot. Then, once the team was max leveled, I let them wander, like usual. Eventually, Dair (like Dire, that’s teenage me’s naming conventions for you) wandered alone into an “all the dudes drop from the ceiling” monster house. So Machamp me starts stomping toward the room, but then, just as I get there, Dair just calmly saunters out of the now empty room, damaged but fine. Dusknoir’s still really cool, but Dusclops has that whole “I just swept that ambush room myself” thing on its side.

  • @xJownage
    @xJownage 2 роки тому +13

    Haven't finished but, 8:00, if you determine that Driftloon is of such great value to the run (it is, being such a good CM baton passer), why would you not switch in litwick on the max flutterby? 1x max flutterby + 1x g-max centiferno does a max of 75% on a high roll, and dynamax turns are up after that. I hear you saying that it won't do much back, but why not pivot through Shedinja on the max flutterby? That way, Litwick takes 50% max on Centiferno on the switch and the dynamax expires immediately after. I guess Litwick still probably dies there, but you had an out to protect Driftloon if it was that important to the integrity of your run, which I believe it was.
    Quick edit: To be fair, this entire run was almost invalidated by Aegislash alone, so I get why taking the more aggressive route and hoping for the high roll wasn't a horrible play.

    So, fun fact about pokemon base stats, they do not scale linearly. If a base stat was doubled, the actual stat of the pokemon would be less than doubled. What this means is that Gastly having a speed lowering nature doesn't make it comparable to a base 72 pokemon (that would actually Speed-tie Dreadnaw due to the low level), but you have to go as low as a 69 base speed pokemon to match Ghastly's speed due to just how the math works out. Even pokemon with 70 base speed will outspeed Ghastly at level 24 (assuming no EVs for anyone of course).
