Honestly the best part of the video had to be at 13:08. It’s just the perfect footage to go with what whacko is talking about in the moment. Drew must have gone through 100 hours of footage to get that gem great job.
RIGHT? Every pokemon has some use here or there :) Amelia thank you for always commenting on the UA-cam content. It always motivates me. More to come!!!
I think the best counter to Rufflet would be Clamperl. All of Rufflet's attacks are physical, so Clamperl's defense should take care of them while also dealing super effective damage via Aurora beam, especially now that you have thief to get the never melt ice. Guaranteed 2HKO
Awesome informative video. GreT editing by Drew as well! Favorite thing of whole video though is banger sou dtrack from Mario RPG in background! -Tac0s
I literally love farming items like using caterpie’s ability to get items from wild encounters Also increase my Pokemon’s Effect Effort Values and searching for good Pokemon with neat IV’s
Just found your channel. Been loving your videos! Radical red has been giving me such a problem and this video explains the early game soo well. Thank you!
That was some intense strategizing and I loved it. You can see how much work this is and I really appreciate that… You just got a new subscriber😁 Keep up the good work❤
“Hippopotas is a meme that isn’t worrisome” Hehe, yeah… (cries in the Hippopotas that destroyed my furret and combusken and caused me to reset when it was the last Mon and I thought I had the fight in the bag)
@@Whacko2 I did manage to win the fight(it was my 2nd attempt), but my marill, combusken, and furret were all dead so I took the hint and just reset. Currently I’m on a god tier run though, I got Galatians meowth, mightyena, keicketune, and phanpy as my encounters before Brock. And luckily, I didn’t get the 30% to reset and got the Psyduck, so I’m on a pretty good track with this one
@@Whacko2 Thanks! I would say my only bad encounter was my wonder egg, being slakoth(I’m allowed to hatch it in pewter museum and count it separately), but despite that I’m still utterly terrified of Faulkner lol
Plus it Can kill alakazam in surge gym, Think he’s called gentalman tucker. Not really needed in those cases but its Can Come as a sack. And you might be able to bait dugtrio with the right moveset
Have you tried greedent btw. I know its instead of psyduck, but rad red made me Fall in Love with that mon. Recycle, stuff cheeks counter toxic or what ever you want. Completely counters and physical hitters if you can set up
@@McJohanDK Dude there are so many Pokemon like Greedent that Rad Red Hardcore mode makes impossible to use because they ban set up. I wish i could grab a swords dance Greedie😭
My level cap is 15 in 3.1 but I said “No” to custom gameplay options wanting to play through as it was intended. Did I need to customize settings to get a lvl16 Pewter cap?
I play on custom settings i think, specifically the restricted mode settings! You're not the only person experiencing this, but my cap has always been 16!
@@Whacko2 Dang. It's extra challenging be stuck 1 level below many evolution thresholds each phase of early game. I can't figure out how to adjust it, but after 25 years of periodically playing different versions I suppose It's an interesting challenge.
@@Whacko2 also, after u finish ur nuzlocke, u should do a monotype run! I just finished fairy, ( besides Claire ofc ) and it was GRUELING! Not a nuzlocke tho that’s too painful
@@Whacko2 ya! I’m trying dragon rn, and it is physically impossible to get past the kriketune tha Sammy has without multiple encounters from the same route. However, it’s totally possible to sweep Brendan with just a single applin
I would never even attempt to nuzlocke this game because the AI just literally cheats lol I’m not going to try to outsmart a game that knows all of my stats and moves and items and what move I’m clicking and also has a built in calculator. Absolutely no way. I’ve been in situations where if I click an attacking move and they protect, I lose. But if I don’t click an attacking move and they dont protect, I also lose. The thing about these situations is that they are literally impossible to win. Because the AI always picks their best moves based on the move you picked. So if I attack, they protect. If I don’t attack, they don’t protect. For this same reason, you can never predict a protect and set up on that turn. Because they just always know what move you click and they know the best move for them to click in response. It’s just ridiculous and why would I subject myself to that kind of torture. I already hate those scenarios when I’m not in a nuzlocke. No way am I going to force myself to endure them in a higher stakes game
Great content ❤❤❤ ! I have a question tho... what do you mean by reset here 9:59? does it mean resetting the game/ emulator to redo an encounter or the entire run? i want to start nuzlocking on rr but im not sure about whether we can reset emulator to redo encounters to get sth better😅. would help me out if someone could answer.
@@Mm69tw LMAO Pchal is a great content creator. I definitely take inspiration from him! He doesn't do a ton of monolockes though... and he hasn't played this version of Rad Red either. All love, we're up to different things man
what about route 22?
Check 10:00 for Route 22!

My favorite thing about Radical Red is how they buff so many mons, I love seeing these mons you'd never expect to be good
RIGHT? Every pokemon has some use here or there :)
Amelia thank you for always commenting on the UA-cam content. It always motivates me. More to come!!!
I got to use pallosand for the first time in this playthrough
Especially Meganium
Lanturn basically turns into all 3 legendary birds at once
you explained everything so well here for anyone that doesn't know much about RR, looking forward to more!
Thank u Sal!
The tier list on the side of the video is so great to see
Gotchu Buzz Buzz
Please make this a full series detailing strategies for every major split, I would love that!!
Misty next week!!

TRU i forgot that Clamperl puts Rufflet in the bin like that. I just always take Marill
@@Whacko2 That is totally fair. Marill is a great mon
Ending the vid on honey mustard talk.... love it
There were things to discuss!
Man i never thought i'd be dumb enough to try and nuzlocke radical red but here i am taking notes
Welcome to the club! LMAO
Awesome informative video. GreT editing by Drew as well! Favorite thing of whole video though is banger sou dtrack from Mario RPG in background!

TRUE WE TOOK A SOUNDTRACK LEAP TODAY
I literally love farming items like using caterpie’s ability to get items from wild encounters
Also increase my Pokemon’s Effect
Effort Values and searching for good Pokemon with neat IV’s
playing without perfect IVs can be so rewarding
Hoothoot can sweep Brendan, Gary and the bug trainer by itself with echoed voice it and Kricketune are big help in the early game
Yea but it's soooo bad late game... You're right but I'm a bonafide hater for sure LMAO
@@Whacko2 Loll btw I forgot to add that it can almost sweep Falkner depending on your luck
@@anyaforger844it can sweep falkner easy with echoed voice as long as you give it wise glasses

This video was super helpful, I would love to see more videos on later parts of the game!
Yes!! Another video drops today but it's a liiiittle different
Easily my favorite Pokémon UA-camr now🤘🏼
COLTON thank u
That is one good looking Kricketune at 14:38 😍

I slapped the goofy out of Brock when I got to him
somebody had to😩

@@Whacko2 Thanks! I would say my only bad encounter was my wonder egg, being slakoth(I’m allowed to hatch it in pewter museum and count it separately), but despite that I’m still utterly terrified of Faulkner lol
slakoth is actually VERY good if u make it to slaking. U can Slack Off on Truant turns for huge recovery
This video is excellent, would def watch more even though I don’t even play RR hardcore lmao
thank you!! this means a ton to me man!!
In my personal experience, I find shinx to be an alr early agme encounter with it being able to pretty much sweep Falkner
I like the fact that people nuzlocked hardcore mode successfully
have they?
This is your best yet, great vid!
More to come!!
Ninjask also sweeps brock with fury cutter!
Ninjask is UNREAL too. I skip it because its in the forest, but rolling that bug early is a STEAL
Where can i access the tier list of encounters
added to the description!!
That's why the rr3.1 is cr@pp. Try it in rr2.3 if anyone can.Also the only version that no-one can nuzlock!
LOL 3.1 is super fun, but the unpredictability is WILD
Just found you, now I'm determined to try rad red hardcore mode nuzlocke. Great video :)
LETS GOOOO welcome on in my friend :)
Lmao the free ad-read for hellofresh
Sick video I hope you plan on making more for Misty split and beyond
Misty split within the next couple weeks!!
is there a place where i can watch all ur radical red attempts or some good ones?
i stream on twitch! we do have a highlights channel too, but thats a work in progress!
Great Video on the first split in Rad Red!
Thank u frend
Kricketune can fully sweep the first gym with neutrual natrue and miracle seed
TRU Krick is WILD early game. I just hate getting it because it has no use after Mt. Moon :(
@@Whacko2 u Can use it for brendan ss Anne it Can kill crawdawunt and you have a sack if you get mega unlucky
Plus it Can kill alakazam in surge gym, Think he’s called gentalman tucker. Not really needed in those cases but its Can Come as a sack. And you might be able to bait dugtrio with the right moveset

thank u :)
@@Whacko2 np! Huge fan! Have u finished ur run? I just saw ur short on the sleep talk ice beams in my feed! Did u get any further?
record is to brock rematch! ill be live on monday w a new attempt!!
@@Whacko2 was the wipe to the zygarde? That’s the only Mon that stood out to me. I brought Malamar with topsyturvy to obliterate it once it coils up.
Amazing video Whacko! Looking handsome as always... would love to see more content like this for other popular Nuzlocke games
omg thank u!! I have more coming!!
Whacko you are the goat
no u Stephin
Amazing tutorial that made me instasub! Keep up the great content.
Thank you Warfield!
this makes me want to nuzlocke the game I used a wobberfeet to beat all the bs pokemon they throw at you, seriously hard game
Wobberfeet is unmatched
@@Whacko2 that plus explosion metagross are the only reason I beat the game normally, excited to see how you blitz the game in a nuzlocke 😎
I really wish you could set the game clock to night
Aide in Oak's lab on the bottom left will gift u the power of time if you take his quiz!
Great video and love how well done it is.
More to come!! :)
how did you get your pokemon to level 16 when the level cap is 15?
(sorry for alot of questions and grammar)
no worries! The cap in HC mode is 16, as Rad Red has enforced caps!
Been wanting to play this for a while. One question I have is how did he have so many rare candy’s? Was it a cheat or a feature
if u type SO2Toxic at the beginning of the run into the NES, u get them in Viridian!
Watching a pro doing what he does best

@@Whacko2 ya! Np! Where can I catch ur streams? I’m suspended rn and have shitloads of time
Been doing randomizer runs on the regular mode I am not ready for hardcore mode lol.
The randomizer is so fun. Hardcore mode can be a headache LMAO
They made my boy Psyduck useful!
Is mareep at the beginning so bad? I thought that ampharos is quite good :o
I've heard mixed reviews but I can't stand it LMAO. I'm sure it's fine once you get the mega form
Hoothoot sweeps early game lmao wtf tinted lens echoed voice is cracked
Sweeps everything except Brock and is really good against Brock
TRUE but anything that peaks before Misty is not getting love from me LMAO. I hear you tho, Echoed Voice does dice up Falkner
How did you get the ability pills this early???
In HC mode you get two in a care package!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Kristine with +speed one shots rufflet
do u mean Kricketune?
@@Whacko2 ya autocorrect is bs lmao
@@Whacko2 also, after u finish ur nuzlocke, u should do a monotype run! I just finished fairy, ( besides Claire ofc ) and it was GRUELING! Not a nuzlocke tho that’s too painful
yea a mono nuz would be INSANE. I might give that a shot!
@@Whacko2 ya! I’m trying dragon rn, and it is physically impossible to get past the kriketune tha Sammy has without multiple encounters from the same route.

why by mee in vermilion is only slowpoke and chincou :( can i still get marril and pancham in diglets cave?
Man this game is pretty hard already beat a Nuzlocke of hardcore mode
its SO hard
@@Whacko2 almost lost my sanity trying to figure out the stratigies especially for the early game wish this video came out sooner

As someone who has beaten RR on HC, it hurts to see you rank my boy totadile so low.
broooo they didnt even give my boy a Dark type which it so very deserves
I would prefer water fighting, but hey, I used mine as a sack later on.
I played this game mono dragon type. Would not recommend bryce and his priority ice type destroyed me so many times
anyone know why the wonder egg crashes my game ?
Noooo idea but i'm hoping you figure it out!
i jus wanna say
torchic is best starter
I'm listening...
lileep
miguel
greedent
jeff
slaking
cradily
etc.
just comes to so many fights and handles a lot of big threats
can't get it from celadon city
Lobe the game I always felt every pokemon game was to easy
Psyduck first try EZ

bro can u tell me how u get 900 rare candy?
Talk to the man in Viridian City
