EPIC
I’ll think about it jacob
Hehe no
Im 100% going to do this and fuel my ciggy addiction outside 👍
2:06 The approximation of number of times Alpha clicked through this dialogue is Sprigatito’s National Pokédex number.
No way this isn’t isn’t isn’t intentional
most of the story doesn't matter. it's like "HEY IDOIT give this dog drugs or it will die"
@@JohnSommarwell, your not wrong
@@JohnSommar
“HEY IDIOT beat up some kids so they don’t cause trouble.”
@@FilledOfOJ You're*
I do enjoy how all three of his solo runs have completely different strategies. Mudkip needed to be overleveled to stand a chance, Piplup developed a crippling drug addiction, and Weed Cat just turned into Arceus or Silvally.
I’ve said it once but I’ll say it one more time:
Did you know? Flower trick, sprigatito’s final evolution’s signature move, when combined with its 70 base power, guaranteed critical hit, STAB, grass terrastilization, and a super effective type bonus will amount to a total of *420* effective power!
nice
Ok
🤓
420 is the perfect number for the weed cat
He can't use it on this run
And now I sit in humble anticipation for the “I beat Pokémon violet without any Pokémon” run.
(I know this comment is a joke) but doesn't the game crash if you enter a battle with no Pokemons?
@@mariotheundying It's actually possible to beat Shining Pearl without Pokémon
@@kindredspirit9703that's why it's the best game in the series, you don't need to go all Pokemon to win it 😂
You can beat Pokemon red in like ten minutes with a glitch and it doesn't require any pokemon whatsoever
ok
I think the worst part of the terra raids is the fact that the timer still goes when when playing animations, which you can’t disable. I have lost numerous of these raids simply because the Pokémon knew a move that would hit several times, and I would lose minutes watching the same lay animation 2-5 times per turn every. Goddam. Turn.
There is so much wrong with raids. The animation take times sucks. The shields are beyond inconsistent like how much damage reduction does it give because it seems random or poorly scaled at the least. The amount of shards you get from a 5-6 star raid is criminal. And also you get interrupt while trying to input a move because the raid boss decided to act instead. Such bull all around they arent fun and I don't know why game freak insisted on re doing the worst thing of sword and shield while making it somehow worse.
Honest to god, the raids here makes me miss Pokémon SwSh for the turn-based raids. At least those aren't as frustrating as this.
Then... use different moves maybe? Pretty easy solution lol
@@svenbtb You can't choose what the raid boss uses. Nobody uses multi hit moves in raids, but the raid boss does and it's impossible to prevent.
@@raysay1818 this!! i actually like swsh raids, which is a large reason as to why i still play it. however i HATE sv raids with a burning passion. i opened sv once since i finished it to get the event legendaries and never opened it again because there's nothing bringing me back
11:03 Love Jaiden just watching Alpha like a younger sibling as he streams. Friend 100
Jacob always finds a way to put adorable creatures into the most brutal situations
... i mean, atleast this one aint overdosed.. even tho its a weed cat
@@DISGUYR8HERENot a weird cat its a cute cat
@@IdentifiantE.S too bad its made out of weed
ok
ok
You always finish it even if it's almost impossible
👍
very nice
nice
Nice
👍
As the biggest fan of weed cat, I approve of this message
Glad to find another weed cat fan, 🌿
I’d be surprised if anyone who chose weed cat has a dog
But it's a question
But wait
*What exactly is the message*
*What message does our lives have*
I picked him cause Meowscarada kinda looked like P5 Joker.
i am a fan of water ducc
Man I love watching Jacob put small defenseless critters in mortal danger
Amazing video tbh, Alpharad's ability to edit down a multi-hour run into 20 minutes or less and have every moment of it be entertaining is so incredibly impressive
Listen guys, weed cat is cool, but you can’t deny how utterly devastating it is to see jacob NOT name his cat pikachu
>Can You Beat Pokémon Violet with ONLY Sprigatito?
>Doesn't even finish the Victory Road storyline with Sprigatito
Yes
I always enjoy these single staged starter videos. Can't wait to see how Alpha goes insane or makes a big brain play.
you mean a good ol BBAP?
7:03 People's Champ Larry.
Damn straight everybody loves Larry.
Hold on now Jacob. You've beaten 1 path of the game. You've still got a fair bit to go!
Not even done THIS path. I didn't see "Victory Road complete" pop up.
@@spiritomb108omg you're right
he can't truly beat it with just sprigatito because the final boss requires miraidon so I guess there was no point lol
@@scrunkore I mean, by that logic the entire playthrough is pointless because of that.
The final fight is a glorified cutscene anyway, so ye actually completing the game still technically requires winning round 1 against the AI prof.
i beat all 3 routes and the professor with a level 70 (at the end) dunsparce. idk how i did that actually
Pointing out U-turn as a viable move in a solo run has got to be the most hilarious thing I've seen today 😂
Sprigatito may not be able to evolve, but Alpharad is. It's so entertaining and satisfying to see his skill level for playing Pokémon increase throughout his videos. We've come a long way from "Mudkip hit good" and "Piplup take drugs"
It was interesting to see what was talked about on Gold showing up in this video (wanting to explain the details of what made a strategy work while keeping a compelling narrative).
Excited for what comes in the future.
It's not really a compelling narrative when so much of the run is just cheated.
as someone who used a level 100 Sprigatito on their team to defeat the elite four, this video was made for me. 🥰
same, but with level 80 weed cat
Why-no-how did you do that?! (Both of you)
Hi
I like your tagname
@@Olivertheolive just have it At the end of your team and dont make it evolve
Ah, we still pretending Geeta is the final boss uh? But anyway, I'm glad to see my favorite Grass starter get the spotlight here.
Should point out that the final boss does force you to use miraidon, which would go against the rules of the challenge. But yeah, I completely understand your point.
@@Nanuak_ I think they meant nemona
@@_Cubrik_ No I did meant the AI Professor. And one could see the Miraidon battle as a glorified cutscene anyway.
She’s the final elite 5 member
alpharad finding a shiny in a starter only challenge is somehow a throwback
shiny tentacool moment
As someone who picked Sprigatito as his starter in S&V and considers the whole line his favorite Pokémon for Paldea, I enjoyed every minute of this (especially the minute or so that you could see Jaiden in the background, but that was only slightly more enjoyment than the rest of the video)
"That's a rant for another day."
To explain what everyone else has already ranted: If she led with Glimmora and used Kingambit as an ace she'd legit be comparable to some of the series harder champions. In fact there's entire videos dedicated to reorganizing Geeta's entire team from movesets to abilities and ordering to make her as difficult as possible.
Imagine pretending Geeta is the final boss when Nemona has been chasing you down all game. Give your hyper supportive tomboy stalker her final battle you coward.
Honestly, so true!! The majority of Nuzlockes and challenge runs I see for Scarlet and Violet always end them at Geeta, instead of the final Nemona battle, y'know the ACTUAL final boss of the Victory Road storyline.
And thus begins the true reign of weed cat.
Though also, damn, the type-changing is a really interesting feature. It does add a lot more strategy than a few other games/challenge runs.
Real shame we'll never see him finish this run with the final boss and see the credits where sprigatito was ed sheeran all along
As a Sprigatito lover I approve of this. They have amazing movepools. ^^
13:04 "...And punched Kingambit harder than the frame drops"
I'M DYING LMAO
I'm glad Jacob realized that when it came to the ending Champion battle(s), the full team(s) of Geeta & Nemona have a shared weakness to Fighting types (Avalugg, Kingambit & Glimmora + Lycanroc, Dudunsparce, & Orthworm {technically Meowscarada too depending on the starter}). The only thing to it though is that unlike Nemona, Geeta has countermeasures against such weakness: Espathra, Veluza, Gogoat's Play Rough, Kingambit's Zen Headbutt, & Glimmora's Dazzling Gleam
Yet Geeta stills has the worst team setup that makes her the worst elite champion to ever exist
@@BlazingBoobEnthusiast She's not running Smogon sets. Because Smogon doesn't exist in the Pokémon universe. Get off your high horse.
@@SodaPopBarbecue Even then, it's not a bad team. However, why the heck is glimora, with an ability to set spikes upon taking damage, last? Swapping when she sent out kingambit and glimora would immediately make her team better by taking advantage of the abilities.
@@lillypad6936 If I were to figure out a way to make it work with Glimmora with still using Geeta's pokemon, I would say that for her starting Espathra (due to its good Speed stat) instead of knowing Quick Attack, replace it with U-turn; that way Espathra would not only have another counter to Dark types, but would allow her to switch immediately into Glimmora for its ability to be used (and then if the AI is good, switch back to Espathra if it/she wanted to)
@@SodaPopBarbecue There's the thing. Im not even competitive and couldnt give two shits about smogon sets bro. Her team setup is literally the embodiment of what a 8 year old ass mashing B would do but if you want the game insultingly treating you like one and hand holding until what should be essentially game 'last boss' (if we count area zero as post game) be my guest🤷♂️
It's funny how for the Mudkip run he grabbed the castform and let it die in the double battle to avoid the rules but for the Piplup and this run he decided that a second same pokemon was NEEDED
Well, the Hoenn games will always force give you a 2nd pokemon because of the Weather Institute; Sinnoh and Paldea don't have a mandatory gift pokémon, so it's kinda up to the runner at that point.
I never evolved sprigatito on my first playthrough, and when I say it was insane at some points. The amount of moves the starters can learn in this game is WILD
If liko's weed cat doesn't evolve, then this has to be some kind of justification of how is she strong anyways
Honestly a housecat learning acrobatics makes sense. I have entire folders of videos on my foster kittens with getting them to do backflips or other such tricks. They absolutely know acrobatics.
I'll always remember winning a bet with a friend on beating Pokemon X with only Braixen. These challenges he does are funny as hell.
8:04 the two sentence summary of your previous two solo runs is hysterical
imagine being the pokémon champion, undefeated for years and then a child walks into your chamber and solo sweeps your team with a kitten.
The insane movepool is something I noticed too when I beat violet with only Lechonk, it honestly feels like they wanted people to do solo runs
Love Jaiden just chilling in the background
5:25 I barely paid attention to this part bc I was too busy jamming out to The Hat in Time music
hey mate, what was that hat in time music called again?
@@Newbss_its
Oh it's you - Pascal Michael Stiefel
I like the part where the weed cat goes "It's weedin' time." And weeds all over the place
0:02 the Murkrow lmao, VGC players will understand 😂
2:49 Hey, have you even seen a housecat jump for a ribbon you flick in the air? They absolutely know acrobatics.
That zaza cat actually has a cool evolution line in my opinion I love it
I will never understand what you just said
@@tntthekill all you need to get from that comment is "I like green cats evolution line"
@@justas1llyguy yeah. I will never understand why and how
@@tntthekill ohh that's what you meant idk either dude I just really enjoy the jester cat. It might tie into Eevee being my favorite pokemon or something idk
@@justas1llyguy i really hate how it got the litten treatment but even worse
8:40 I love the Hollow Knight Hornet music here, glad to know Alpha is a fan
Love Sprigatito so much, had no idea how powerful it can become 💚
3:07 big miss not to use "You are now legally a bird" from A Hat in Time there.
Edit: Especially hearing the "Oh it's you" 2 minutes later.
hey alpharad. thank you for the years of content and work you've put it. i just really apreciate it.
So happy whenever a new Alpharad video is here! But always disappointed at these ScarVi challenges and never going to the final boss, just stopping not at the end of the game. Not to mention even some of the team star battles might end the run and cause more problems. Since it's not even post game after the champion, it's still the base game, it's like ending the run 80% finished and not truly achieving it.
To be fair, it's technically not possible to beat Scarlet/Violet with just the starter, because you're forced to use the box legendary for the final battle, so story wise may as well do just the League challenge
@@NSAsterus949 The final final one really doesn't count. You still have you fight every paradox pokemon WITH your team first. And having skipped all area zero final battles, titans, team star, NEMONA CHAMPION FIGHT?? and 3 other important fights (penny, arvan, headmaster) at the end of other paths. He didn't really "beat" Pokemon ScarVi with just a Sprigattito at all. ):
Though reminder, I love Alpha's content, and if doesn't want to it's completely up to him, I'm just saying my personal opinion on it.
@@NSAsterus949 I mean, that's a scripted fight so it's more of a cutscene than anything
Not 80%, he did 1/3 of the game lol
@@Tavanomg not even 1/3 he didn't beat Nemona at the end of victory road.
WEED CAT ❤
Also, snatcher and hollow knight music
1:49 Usually when someone walks through a door, they open it first.
But Mary Jane just wakes through
2:32 I love the voltorb exploding in the background 🤣
Wait, but he didn't even beat the game? The credits didn't roll and he didn't even beat the Champion Nemona fight that ends that part of the game :(
This one of the only pokemon video where alpha remains calm instead of gaining a god complex
“Can you beat Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with ONLY Sprigatito?” *Yes*
Easily in fact
Except he didn't even beat the rest of the Victory Road story. (beating Nemona after Geeta)
It is funny that Jaiden is in the corner. It reminds me of piplup in the fridge for all you Purplecliffe fans.
It's so weird seeing this challenge being done , without using the water starter
I love how jaiden's just chillin in the back 😂
How did you get the ability patch to give Sprigatito Protean? As far as I know, the only way to get them is from 6 and 7 star tera raids, which are locked until post game
trading lol
@@scrunkore so basically this run is technically not possible as the starter is not possible without outside help
shame
if the mochi stuff are available in the dlc, this run could be possible in the teal mask.
@@iantaakalla8180 only if he takes his legit starter and the walls to the point of the dlc then grinds it
Could be, but at that point you are better off hoping for a good raid to appear and grind till then
Glad to hear Larry required heal stall to beat, Larry’s getting recognition.
jacob i just want to let u know that i love u ur a comedic inspiration and the funniest guy i wish i knew so thank you for being awesome i love u man✨✨
Touch grass bro he’s doing this for money not for you
Alpha starts the run by taping the cat's paws to the ground, then immediately invalidates the tape by giving the cat wings.
I feel like little sprigatito finishing Sudowoodo like sora is the ultimate power move
Didn't even notice that Jaiden was in the background for most of the video
I'm so tripped out by how Mary Jane looks almost identical to my character
Alpha really getting hyped over u-turn in a solo pokemon run.
Still a decently strong move that gives coverage but yeah the main function of the move isn’t applicable
On the topic of farming tera shards, I’ve personally found it most effective to use belly drum iron hands on 3/4 star raids with CPU for the sake of farming shards. It is still hell though :)
I appreciate you being a Sprigatito truther.
How in the world did he get an ability patch before the first gym?
That's what I'm trying find out
Alpharad: Spends a bunch of time creating a video maintaining an underdog theme with copious editing, music selection, and gameplay footage.
Me: "HI JAIDEN!!!"
7:33
Protean was nerfed my ass, that was a great way to abuse the fact that now it changes your type once until you switch out and back in.
I like how he used either the 2nd liked starter for these challenges besides mudkip bc we love them all
So, is Nemona stalking you in this run because she’s a narc, or because she wants in?
I hope Alpha never stops using Dating Star for his ad spots. Makes me smile every time
I feel like Gen 9 is perfect for solo runs because there's so much freedom and ways to make even weak Pokemon viable.
I was watching this while grinding in Momentos, the same song offset over itself is *so fun*
10:00 little does he know there’s a mystery gift code that gives u 50 FIGHTING TYPE TERA SHARDS
I love when Jacob says “and just like that”
This run will be like mystery dungeon
Sprigatito: "Cause we'll be partners till the end?"
Hell no, it's because you're only evolving after post-game, if you're lucky.
I knew Sprigatito and its Line would be special the MINUTE it was first revealed, The Runs i have seen with this Cute little Kitty has been insane!🌿😼💗
If you look into the title further i found it say can you beat scarlet and violet ( The path of legends less then a third of the game ) with only a grass cat.
You always finish it even if it's almost impossible. You're awesome.
He didn't even finish the ONE storyline he was going for 😭
11:30 "tera"fied
Leave
I thought the exact same thing
I love that Jaiden is just casually in the back watching him play
Spirigatito was my starter it was between him and the water duck but I’m so happy with what I chose 😁
Nice use of music! I loved the super meat boy track usage
2:46 It can learn Acrobatics because it's a circus cat
8:45 I got a heart attack when the hollow knight music started playing
Anyone else spot Jaiden in the background at 11:21?
Yeah, she just randomly shows up on recent streams every now and then
Pretty sure they live together
@@HashBrownez yeah they do, Jacob made a short complaining about how many Pokémon plushies Jaiden has
9:32 “4 fully evolved ice types”
Ah yes, my favorite ice type, altaria(the fluffy bird that is dragon type)
“Pokémon get good”
“Pokémon take drugs”
Is one of the best ways to describe solo Pokémon runs that allow items
guess whos backbackback back againainain. we missed u hopefully ur recovery is going smoothly.
Scarlet and violets starters have pretty good designs so seeing a solo run with my favorite one is based
The editing on this video is really good.
8:04 why is it so funny
Mukip hit good
Piplup take droogs
Piplup take droogs
"What kind of parent would allow their child to do these kinds of things"
It took you 9 generations of Pokémon games to finally ask that?
1:12 substitute at level 103 tf😂
I think that's an error lol
It's not level, it's TM Number
You're meme'ing right
Love how Jaiden's just in the background casually watching
Always a good day when Alpharad posts Pokémon
tanjiro
Weed Cat turning into a Flying type? Yeah that checks out, that’s how you get high in the Pokémon universe
