~~Scoring System~~
*Scores are inaccurate for this one due to a restart mid-way through and the system incorrectly counting the TMs from swapping out my first Pokemon. Working on a fix for future team runs.
Scoring:
-Pokemon Starts with a score of 100 points.
-Minus 0.1 points per reset (10 resets = 1 point)
-Minus 0.25 points per optional battle (4 optional battles = 1 point)
-Minus 1 point per TM (Excluding Broken TMs)
-Minus 10 points per Broken TM (Double Team, Substitute, Mimic, Rest, Bide, Toxic)
For why these TMs are Broken, watch my Level 5 No EXP Solo Challenge Series, where even Bide helped Level 5 Pokemon Solo the ENTIRE GAME!

Truly, Gen 1 is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits :p
Truly and completely, but it's kind of ridiculous that Game Freak basically gives the most Broken moves to everything.... Then again, they probably felt that it would be bad to make the game truly impossible for little kids 😂
Wait a minute.... Spiffing Brit? 🤨
@@TheSkullkid16That was the reference I was making, yes
@@TheAnalyticalEngine Won't lie, I half came down here to see if anyone beat me to that punch 🤣
"Hello there, ladies and gentlemen!
Today we will be playing a game so perfectly balanced it would bring a year to the eyes of our lord and savior Todd Howard [Todd Howard"*It just works*"] It's time to dive into the glorious world of Pokemon!"
Fun fact, in Gen 1 and Gen 1 only, you can knock yourself out while setting up a substitute. So technically, yes, the Arcanine could have set up the substitute, but since it would KO him by doing so, he would lose due not to luck, but his own strategy.
This. So every time you have a Pokemon with HP that is exactly a multiple of 4, Substitute is worse.
@RBYPokemonChallenges Not just the multiples of 4: since the amount taken away is determined by 1/4 of your Max HP, rounded down, it can happen to any pokemon in Gen 1, regardless of its Max HP. In all generations, it's better to have it be that 1-3 HP remainder above the 1/4th division so you can use it 4 times, otherwise you only get 3 uses out of Substitute. However, in all generations besides Gen 1, it'll simply give you a message saying you don't have enough HP, even if you are at the 1/4 threshold. In Gen 1 only, if you have enough HP, you'll make the substitute, lose the HP, and then, if you have 0 HP, you will faint.
@@TheSkullkid16wow you don't say. When you have 0hp you faint? Who would have thought
The Para Dig "Glitch" is a Feature, like with Badge Boost. Perfectly Balanced and no exploiting can be done at all.
Yep, right there with Pokedoll and everything else amiright?
I do love that the most elite trainers of the land with their terrifying beasts can be felled by... babies.
I mean, if we just use everything broken in Gen 1 it becomes pretty simple.
19:19
From what I remember, those OHKO moves ignore evasion.
Along with that
He's 53 levels higher, so it's 30+53 so 83% chance to hit.
(This is how it works in gen 3 atleast so I'm hoping I'm still right)
Gen 1 is different. Accuracy still affects OHKO in Gen 1 and level does not have any impact on accuracy
To add to it, the higher the user's speed is compared to the opponent's, the more likely an OHKO move is to land
In later Gens, this is spot on, but Gen 1 is different. From Bulbapedia:
"Accuracy mechanics
Generation I
All OHKO moves have an accuracy of 30%, but they will automatically fail if the user's Speed stat is lower than the target's. An X Accuracy will guarantee that all OHKO moves hit. The accuracy of OHKO moves in Generation I is affected by the standard accuracy and evasion stats. "
Any Level 5 flying type can beat Lance for sure due to the AI not even using a move against you.
or poison type cause they spam agility lol. just have mimic for agility u all set lol
There are a lot of Pokemon that get walled by Poison and Ghost, but those exploits are a bit too obvious - did do a whole Gastly run though, linked in the description
2:31 - "Is there a glitchless-"
Me: It's RBY, the answer is no
The first run attempt literally ends with a Gen 1 miss... So I guess I should have been more clear - no intentional glitches 😂
unique move challenge - If you use a move in a given battle, it is unavailable for the rest of the game. You may use a move in the same battle multiple times.
I did this with Mewtwo, but there are too many battles in the game , even on Minimum Battles, to change moves every battle in a solo challenge. We could, however, see if minimum battles but changing Pokemon could make it happen...
The channel "Enter The Unown" has tried this. With legitimate encounters, and no randomised stuff, he was hard-walled in Cerulean in Gen 1, but somehow managed to clear Gen 2.
With an arbitrary starter, and possibly rabdomized stuff, this could give material for a few videos.
For sure, I would need to test more and it kind of depends on versions etc.
Whoa, I'm early!! Always great to see one of your videos!
That's awesome! Thank you for watching
Congratulations on many milestones!
I mean, it's all you guys, so really thank you!
That Gen I miss was brutal
Absolute pain. I needed revenge at that moment. And I got it 😂
Hey man love ur vids, thanks for linking the software u use so we all can run these games like u do, keep it up ur kicking ass at this youtuber thing. Love from Portugal
tomassilva, thank you so much!!! This kind of comment is so great to see, and it motivates me to keep it going! Damn, were going worldwide!!!
Wait a minute.... what is the dig/para glitch?! I thought I understood gen1 mechanics/bugs but I had never heard of this one until today!
Was just about to ask the same thing
Its a quirk in gen 1 coding. The game puts you in a state of invulnerable when you go underground(expect for bind or swift) and it reverts the invulnerable when you complete dig. Since you skip your turn with para, you never complete the dig, so you can still attack when being invulnerable.
This
@@Sphere56 I had to look it up and remembered you can do this with fly too. Never dawned on me that it could be replicated with dig!
Yup, fly&dig are both banned in competitive gen 1 play explicitly because of this bug. Not a big issue for ground type moves because of earthquake, but it actually makes flying types a lot less viable because drill peck is the only decent flying move that's legal, & only a few birds even get it
That gen 1 miss with dragon rage was the most epic failure of all time >.
I was dying inside. ☠️
7-10k sub special next week. 69k can be Belsprout
lol, you're already foreseeing my plans 😂
Amazing video like always. I love the detail at which everything is explained, the pacing alone has got to make the mechanical parts of this strategy coherent to even people that don't have in depth experience with the franchise and this generation in particular. Keep up the good work
Thank you. Yeah, I need to either make a track list or get it to display on screen during live sections. The track here is the Gym Leader Castle music from Pokemon Stadium 1
Thank gods of broken gen1 for not adding leftovers to the game
Lol, that would be truly broken 😂
Yooo, I wasn't expecting to see my Blue team crush Bruno at level 5! Great video man, thanks for including my pokes :)
You crushed it! I was having fun and comparing your results to some of the other submissions,. Overall, your results were pretty darn good!
48:16 should have been a reset because Golbat's Haze healed Arcanine's paralysis.
Mentioned this before. But yes, I used GameHook to lock Paralysis in, but when I do this Deathless, it will be without a Haze, which is going to take a very long time....
Honestly I only feel like double team is broken here, the rest of the set falls apart without it and while the other moves are strong, they’re certainly not in anyway consistent without DT, and obviously the paradig is just a glitch, a neat one but usually glitches are banned anyway
Good video though very enjoyable to watch
The main point is that if I can beat the game with a level 5 Pokemon using this strategy, I could always beat the game with normally levelled Pokemon in the same way, and generally at normal levels you just swap Double Team for Rest and get very similar results
having seen more usage of substitute I can in fact agree that it is also ridiculously broken@@RBYPokemonChallenges
Bide should only be considered broken in combination with substitute, i'd say.
I agree, its at its best in that case, either with Substitute or Confuse Ray on particular, but it has more to do with it also being available to everything, which makes it just bad for my ultimate goal of showing unique playstyles of each Pokemon. Of course there will be cases where I use it, but only as a last resort to maintain minimum battles or to see the Pokemon's moveset on situations other than just ghosts specifically (Eevee has no other way to beat Pokemon Tower for example), but I generally avoid it like the plague
I'd argue that Bide should still be excluded, since most Pokemon don't have much of a use for the move against major fights, unless they can't deal with the Rock Tunnel Hiker or need some help against Misty.
Such a great set of runs!
This was definitely fun!
Hey loving the videos man, but you really should try and do something about the constant flashes during sped up footage. Big epilepsy risk there, and it's kind of really hard on the eyes watching casually, and it occurs in like every video.
Okay, I'll see if I can do something on that.
Nice moves brah
Fully expected the moveset protect, toxic, double team and rest XD
Substitute and mimic were great choices though damn, I always underrated mimic hard it seems
Honestly, I never used Mimic as a kid. It wasn't until I started watching Jrose runs that I respected the move, it's a cheat corr in so many situations
was happy to see Arcanine used for testing. love that fluffy dog.
He is a good boy, but sometimes he misses in the most unfortunate places 😂
Arcanine has an HP value of 24 with a DV value of 0-9, but an HP of 25 with a DV value of 10-15, meaning good/perfect DVs would actually be impactful in allowing a fourth substitute. DVs mattering for a level 5 fighting a team of level 60+ is a bit strange, but here we are.
Facts, but I always go low DVs when possible 😂
A single PP Up would have saved Arcanine against that Gen 1 miss!
Yeah...
Lets goooooo!!! the hype is real!!
We have all the hype!
I bet one battle per pokemon would be a good challenge run
Could be interesting 😂
seeing agatha haze when your strat relies on paralysis made me chuckle, what a troll, technically it should have ended your run no?
Yeah, I had Paralysis locked I with Gamehook, but I mentioned about this on the Live Commentary (linked in the description) and that was what got me on the obsessing until I can get this truly deathless comment during the Lance fight
Other possibility without Paralysis being locked in on Gamehook would be to then dig properly to reset the glitch, hope Arbok uses Glare, then redo the glitch setup. we can also hit ourselves win confusion underground to setup the glitch lol
@@RBYPokemonChallenges Yeah, it's not a big deal it's no like it'd be that hard to reset and get to kill the golbat without it using haze, it probably would have added something like 10 minutes or so but the point is made either way =p
For what it's worth I think mimic is fine cause it's really fun to use in creative ways trying to find the right move for the job, since the way it's used tend to vary a lot depending on what else your pokemon can do and what the opponent pokemon has. (doesn't mean it's not broken but it's broken in interesting ways, unlike double team that is just very boring).
I also like that your system still allows pokemon to use these moves if they learn them by themselves (well specifically double team/minimize) since that gives these pokemon a unique flavour rather than just doing the broken thing every pokemon can do.
I agree, I was also rushing to finish this and I just wanted to wreck the Champion 😂
I will do a Mimic run at some point for fun just to show loads of spots where it could be used with basically anything for an advantage. It is certainly more strategic than the other broken moves, but still leads to a lot of repetitive strategy.
Yeah, I never "ban" anything, I just avoid strategies that I know to be too simple and repetitive unless necessary.
Gotta ask - is your "this is STUPID stupid" from that one episode of Invader Zim where Dib says that with that exact inflection? Or just coincidence? :']
Probably subconsciously using the same. Love Invader Zim, and really anything from Jhonen Vasquez. I used to have every Johnny the Homicidal Maniac comic 😂
Such a great video, Glad to be early.
Thanks for watching Philip!
What music did you use in the video at the beginning? The super cool funky song that plays at about the 6 minute mark
Big Baddies from StreamBeats! It's here: ua-cam.com/video/R-HP6chR7YI/v-deo.html
So crazy that bide, a normal type move, hits ghosts. Id it type less but struggle isn’t?
anything that does set damage (damage that doesn't rely on your Attack/defense or special) like counter, seismic toss, night shade, bide, dragon rage, sonicboom are all typeless.
@@HopUpOutDaBeddamn so technically you can counter and hit a ghost? Lol
You can counter them, but only if they hit you with a Normal- or Fighting-typenmove
@@RBYPokemonChallenges true, and no ghost types in game run normal moves. HOWEVER, if you're hit by a normal move and then your opponent switches or uses confuse ray you will still be able to counter that move.
So if agatha sends out arbok and uses bite, and then decides to switch immediately after into gengar you will be able to hit gengar on the switch with counter.
Same thing if gengar spams confuse ray and you hit yourself in confusion. If Gengar uses confuse ray again you can counter them for double the damage you just hit yourself with. This also works if they switch or use toxic immediately after you hit yourself.
I thought that the ohko moves in gen 1 were always 30% accurate regardless of accuracy changes. Is that not the case?
From Bulbapedia: "Accuracy mechanics
Generation I
All OHKO moves have an accuracy of 30%, but they will automatically fail if the user's Speed stat is lower than the target's. An X Accuracy will guarantee that all OHKO moves hit. The accuracy of OHKO moves in Generation I is affected by the standard accuracy and evasion stats."
are you allowed to use vitamins? a hpup would mean you get an extra substitute
I actually kept it this way intentionally to make it a bit harder. Generally don't go vitamins.
If you like Arcanine so much then you would love new funko pop of it :) I bought it today because they had it almost half the price :D It is so adorable, standing on my shelf :)
Hell yeah, I wasn't aware of it. I'll check it out!
@@RBYPokemonChallenges I think there are even jumbo ones too! :)

wonder if u can venomoth speed run? would be goated run lol
I did the solo Venomoth run a year ago, but we could try it on Super Minimum battles and try to speed through the game!
@@RBYPokemonChallenges yea that sounds like fun. and honestly would be glad to see it. one of my favorite bug types. also u can also try venomoth in other games like crystal, and etc but fair enough
The content machine
I'll keep it coming!
Whats that glitch with paralysis and rage?
If you use Dig or Fly and get paralyzed while in the sky or underground, your Pokemon becomes invincible until you use either Dig or Fly again. Then you can just use Rage because it never runs out of PP, so even if it takes hundreds of turns, Charmander can KO Bruno's team with only Rage
@@RBYPokemonChallenges
Ahh.
Thanks.
Crazy but kind of scientific, just a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This other guy GSC Challenges said no experience points = no battle. Therefore run doesn’t count. None of this ever happened.
Keep up the good work Teo.
Got'em!
What music do you use in your vids?
I use a mix of StreamBeats by Harris Heller and Pokemon tracks.
I feel like Jrose already did this
He did a team run in Red/Blue. This is solo and with a very different focus 😂
@@RBYPokemonChallenges You're right. Extremely well put together video. Thank you.
What is the name of the overlay he uses?
I use Gamehook for the data, but the overlay is all self-coded.
What were the Pokemon that beat Bruno first try?
There is a spreadsheet in the description. But every one that shows a score of 100 in the bottom right on the video
12:29 haha I like the sneaky '20/15' etc. on the PP here
Edit:
Also, I like your scoring system. It's got a strange feature though, that you can get positive and negative scores, and the sign of the score doesn’t really mean anything so eg. getting 0 isn’t special. Maybe you could try something like 100/(x+1) where x is all the total of the different penalty points you came up with. Then you'd get 100 points with zero penalty, and the score decreases towards zero the more penalty points you get.
Could look at it. I use a score of zero as a cutoff for a run. If I ever got there, and I have, I know that whatever I'm trying to do is so bad that it's back to the drawing boatd
@@RBYPokemonChallenges ahhhh OK then that makes sense. I guess my formula assumes infinite patience haha. It decreases very quickly to start with too so I think it's not so nice anyway
Love your work brother but double team strats are an instant leave from me. Of any pokemon can do anything if the enemy misses every time, save scumming for lucky dodges isn't fun to watch. Just my opinion, gl with the runs.
Cheers, but I think you didn't watch far enough to realize that is the entire point. Mimic, Double Team, Substitute, and Toxic are all completely broken unoriginal strats that allow any Pokemon to beat the game. I would only not that not only should Double Team be regarded as boring and unoriginal, but so too is Rest, Mimic, Bide, Toxic, and Substitute.
Where’s jrose lol
I often wonder the same thing
For April fool's you should just stream and upload a normal run of the game
Just an entirely standard team run as we played as kids lol

It's the most frustrating thing that every single Pokemon channel feels the constant- and unfortunately justified- urge to justify themselves against the horde of nerd emojis in the comment section. If you grind enough you can have max PP on all 4 moves by trading and trading back from another game and resetting it a few times.
Truth. But you know that you're going to get comments complaining if you don't say everything, it's kind of shocking how seriously people take the game, debating rules of personal challenges in a 25 year old game 😂
@@RBYPokemonChallenges I wish I cared about anything the way those guys care about pokemon XD

oh my god get to the bloody point
But is there a point?
@@RBYPokemonChallenges I dunno, I gave up watching because you talk about a moveset that you don't reveal for what feels like a lifetime. 😅
Sorry, I'll try to get to it faster in the next one 😂 Didn't think it was really delayed because it's all in the lower left of the screen the whole time 😂
That was fun and interesting treat to have . I really liked that you were trying different strategies to basically break the game, I always find these fun and interesting to do in my own runs.🤔
The best part was using your favourite Pokémon to complete that run ,and try to see the difference between having broken moves and broken moves that can be learnt by almost any Pokémon.😊
Also thanks for making such incredible videos,and I hope that you'll reach your next milestone soon .🫡
Thank you Batel! You've been commenting positively on my videos since at least the April Fools Weedle run, so I appreciate all of your support and positivity! It has really motivated me and made me want to keep imporving!
