![Pokemon Platinum Any% Speedrun in 2:35:00 [Current World Record]](/img/n.gif)
A fire type? In MY Sinnoh game?!
Must be a hack
Amazing, as always!
You out speeding weavile was astonishing i'll check the math...
Yeah 32 points nearly doubled their level and still close speed.
I still can't believe there were only TWO fire type lines in Diamond and Pearl. How did they not notice that? At least in Platinum you have some quite decent choices.
Grindset is a mindset
You can try emerald with one numel. Numel was a favorite of mine. It would be like your torkoal run, but harder
On our way through, I took the skull fossil. I knew if I didn’t say what I took, you’d all ask. Actually, now that I think about it, everyone asks anyway. Comments are good for the UA-cam algorithm.
So I think now you are morally required to do Pokemon Platinum with only one horsea (named Ponyta of course). I don't think it's possible but I am looking forward to you proving me wrong. PS. Which fossil did you choose? Comments are good for the UA-cam Algorithm.
Diamond and Pearl only had Chimchar and Ponyta prior to the E4... never forget poor Flint, who had to use Drifblim, Lopunny and Steelix to fill in the gaps in his "Fire" team.
Platinum added Flareon, Houndoom and Magmortar to minimize the issue.
Makes you wonder why they bothered making him a fire specialist in the first place.
@@timemonkeyI've always said I wanted to meet the person who made the decision to have a Fire-type gym leader in a region with almost no fire types. They could have used literally any other type for that gym and it would have made more sense.
@@KatLuffit was at least fun having one of the best trainers in the game not be using a monotype team
@@velvetbutterfly Flint's monotype team in Platinum is way better than his D&P team. Seriously, it's almost insulting to give LOPUNNY to an E4 member.
driftblim is a blimp and it needs fire to fly , steelix is a forged metal requiring a high heat to make. and lopunny is "hot" " at least im fairly sure that was the reasoning lol.
(1:47) Actually, Fire is still super effective against Torterra. Ground doesn't resist Fire, even though it is super effective against Fire.
(22:19) And that's game! Ponyta succeeded where Shinx did not!
🤓
As someone who always picked turtwig as my starter i thought i was going crazy when he said fire did neutral damage to torterra
MDB actually pronouncing Cranidos right in a video? It's more likely than you think!
He made up for it with "Prinpulp" and "Starahvia"
All we need now is RATtata!
this just in ripley's believe it or not! mdb pronounces pokemon names right for once
I think it was a different MDB. Can't actually believe he said it right
Must be an imposter 😅
For road blocks like Gyarados and Garchomp, Natural Gift is great as an _out-of-jail_ card since its damage type depends on what berry you're holding.
Would need research to know which berries grant which type (except for the type resisting berries, those are obvious), but yeah Natural Gift is underrated in these runs.
Edit: Also it's incredibly useful in Heart Gold and Soul Silver, where your mom buys 5 type resisting berries periodically if you're sending money to her, making sure you have a steady supply of those (whether for defense or for Natural Gift).
Fire Types really got the short end of the stick in 4th Gen. Weak to both other fully Evolved starters and there are barely any Fire types to choose from.
on the other hand, it is also super-effective against both. Infernape I mean.
Fire against Torterra, because ground is not resistant to fire.
And fighting against Empoleon, as it is part steel.
And Infernape has a major speed advantage to both.
Not really, Infernape was the superior gen 4 starter since it could be either physical, special or a mix of both, and also it was much faster. Empoleon and torterra needed buffs in later gens to compare to infernape nowadays.
It is also pretty funny how the speedruns pick Chimchar as the starter of choice (though if I remember correctly it gets replaced with something else later on.) As a starter it is way more versatile and powerful early on than both other starters overall. Still a shame it is pretty much the only good fire type in DPPl (though they added few in Platinum, nothing really comes even close to how good the Chimchar-line is.)
@@KimParkkinen Well in those Fire types defense, nothing could ever compete as well as Infernape if we took every single Fire type from Gen1 until Gen4 (not counting legendaries obviously) and put it in Platinum.
I always feel weird getting the challenges early. Yes, I get it early, but then I don’t have a challenge for my normal Saturday routine. Welp, here I am!
Ponyta will always trigger the memory of my first time catching one in pokemon legends. I was then stomped into paste by its mother. Good times.
“Ponyta go!” Horsea jumps into battle
Honestly, that was a fun run. It's always interesting when you get right to the end and suddenly there's a last minute road block that makes you wonder if it's actually possible.
I'm fortunate enough to work a job where i can have youtube running in the background while i work and your definitely helping maintain my sanity! You're my favorite channel on the platform and I look forward to delving yet further through the backlog!
I love watching your solo runs, it's always so funny watching strong fully evolved pokemon being squashed by tiny base form pokemon. XD
I'd normally put something witty here, but my cat who vanished a week ago right before a major snowstorm just came back home today so I'm too busy being relieved.
Still requesting Pokemon B2W2 With Only One Chinchou, though.
Make sure you take care of yourself. I remember the UA-cam grind and I used to do the same thing - not eat until mid to late afternoon because either I was so excited to make/finish a video or I felt like I couldn’t delay making a video until after I’d eaten. I can’t imagine doing that now that I’m 30. The time it takes to make and eat food is worth being able to work at full capacity without your hunger putting you on a time limit!
It gets alot easier if you can make meals for the days ahead, but it still can be hard giving yourself a break for even just reheating a meal
In terms of what fire types are availible before post game, the sinnoh pokedex only contains 5 fire types total, the 3 chimchar line and the 2 ponyta line, thats it, only those 2 lines
EDIT: Platinum has a differnt dex that has about 60 pokemon added to it, and that dex adds on the magmar line (availible outside the ironworks), flareon and the houndour line (the routes between the south of veilstone city and the grand lake hotel), also note that rotom doesn't change its ghost type in its different forms, like heat being elec/fire or wash being elec/water, until gen 5.
the phrase "water onix" has lost all meaning at this point. I suggest replacing onix with "Land Gyarados"
If " trying to get through the game with an eclectic band of weirdos " doesn't sum up your let's plays perfectly I don't know what does
I believe Chimchar & Ponyta were the only natural spawning fire types in the wild in D/P. There was a thing on the original DS where you could get Growlith to spawn if you had Fire Red in the GBA slot. But that's about it for fire types before the elite 4. They fixed it in Platinum but not by much. I think they gave us access to Eevee & Magmar before the elite 4.
And even then, the GBA cart trick didn't even work until you got the National Dex, which means at most, unless you were going out of your way to catch and evolve Pokemon, you couldn't see everything until Cynthia at MINIMUM since she's the only trainer in ALL of Sinnoh that has both Milotic and Spiritomb.
I would love to see sometimes a gimmick run of two or three pokemon. For example, 3rd gen with just zangoose and seviper. Just for funsies :)
I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is.
For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.
I always have a lot of respect for you, because I know how much work goes into making in genre of content, as long as you edit it yourself lol
Thanks! I've gotten pretty fast at the edit but I still find a way to trip over my own script every week
Ponyta/Rapidash was a pivotal member of my team in Platinum. It got to the point where I had to force myself not to use it so the rest of my team could keep up. This was a team with an Alakazam and a Dragon Dance Water Onix, by the way. I've never had a member of the line come close that level of performance since then.
Considering the Water Onix run you did one time, I do think it would be interesting if a gen 4 or 5 run was done with a modded ROM to add in a different form of an old Pokemon without altering the teams of the in-game trainers. Imagine this run but with the Psychic type Ponyta from Gen 8, as a good example of the idea
Surprising end result! Awesome video as always :)
Its awesome to see you actually make a strategy using the TMs this time instead of just doing your usual boring level up and brute force with return strategy.
Keep trying out new stuff! Its alot more fun then you just leveling up!
Would you do a gen V play thru with only the catchable shiny Pokémon ponyta, grayados, haxaruos, gible, and dratini.
First time catching a challenge early. Great way to start off the day :)
If you are going to continue with the version exclusives runs, you should also do the other half to see how the other exclusives work out (Blue and Silver)
Getting on these videos early is great because it's a great thing to do after coming home from class
One great video. Second I have a question do you delete the game and the Pokémon with it or do you transfer the Pokémon to a different game?
He’s usually playing on emulator, so there’s no option to transfer. That and until the 3ds Pokémon games you can only get a new rom from the randomizer program, so there’s no save data carried over
Ground doesn't resist fire so fire is super effective on torterra
Right, I must have been thinking of rock
Sunny Day is such an amazing move because not only do you get the huge boost offensively but it can also really help out defensively as well against Water types (add in Solarbeam and it gets even better) 😊
Hidden power electric would have been helpful against Wake
That was an epic run. I wonder what would happen if you used Bounce against Garchomp.
Yet I must know: What fossil did you take?
Can you do pokemon sun/moon with only one cosmog (that you can evolve)
Uhh fire is not neutral to torterra. Ground doesn't resist fire.
Can we get a Lickitung run please MDB?
2:47 Nope, it was just those two. So if you wanted a fire type and didn't pick Chimchar, Rapidash was literally your ONLY option. Hence why Diamond and Pearl kinda suck.
Cool videos as always Mah-Dry-Bread hmm a challenge of only using Tyrouge for Gen 5 or 6.
I Ate a grilled toast (it was tasty)
What fossil did you choose?
Going by my experience of using a Ponyta/Rapidash on my Platinum team, I'd say it'll probably turn out a bit better than you're predicting, as my Firecrackr (character limit) kept pace with her teammates even into the 30s before evolving, but I also had plenty of other team members for various points, so maybe there are roadblocks I don't anticipate.
Oh hey, I was right…kinda.
I have high hopes for Ponyta! For whatever reason there are only two fire-type pokemon lines before the national dex, and they decided that Ponyta was worth the honor of taking the stage alongside the Chimchar line. It HAS to be good, right? ...right?
Also, more importantly, your channel is great, all the hard work, time, effort, energy put into the videos, not just your pokemon challenges but everything on here. Take care of yourself.
Woo very early! Maybe even first?
Even though the fossil is not mandatory, I want to know: which one did you take? And I am once again asking for you to take the one opposite the one you say just to see who notices.
regigas beat every game
Winning with Return? I guess you could call this My Little Ponyta: Friendship Is Mah-Dry-Bread.
So: Mankey, Growlithe, Spinarak, Gligar, Teddiursa and Martine... I can see Arcanine, Ursaring and Mantine being your top heavy hitters.
...How come Pokémon Crystal doesn't have Version Exclusives?
2:24 "We're a little stronger than that of a first-form starter." I think you're underestimating Ponyta. Its Stats are more on par with a *middle stage* starter.
Charmeleon/Quilava: 58/64/58/80/65/80 Total 405
Ponyta: 50/85/55/65/65/90 Total 410
A little frailer, but faster and harder hitting albeit on the side that's less useful for Fire types (85 Atk vs 80 SpA). (Remember, the entire Typhlosion line's stats are a carbon copy of the Charizard line's, at least until Typhlosion-H came around and didn't have the exact same stats as Typhlosion-J.) What about the other Fire-type starters that don't gain their secondary type until they reach their final stage?
Braixen: 59/59/58/90/70/73 Total 409
Torracat: 65/85/50/80/50/90 Total 420
Raboot: 65/86/60/55/60/94 Total 420
Crocalor: 81/55/78/90/58/49 Total 411
...Power Creep is real. Raboot definitely straight up outclasses Ponyta, a little less special defense but with better physical defense and trading off a bit of what was already Ponyta's weaker attacking stat for a bunch more HP and a little more speed and a single extra point in the better attacking stat. Torracat also seems objectively better than Ponyta, and especially with Special being a better attacking stat for Fire-types unless they have a signature move like Sacred Fire, I'd say Braixen and Crocalor are, too.
But yeah, Ponyta is easily as strong as Charmeleon, if not slightly better, and that kind of makes sense when you consider that in the original R/B/G, you wouldn't have access to them until a point in the game when you'd likely already have _Charizard_ if you started with Charmander (it was available a bit earlier in Yellow, but not much--locked by the Poké Flute rather than Surf.)
Having access to Ponyta as early as you did in DP, it was actually quite strong for that point in the game.
Pokémon Gold with version exclusives would give you six party members just like Pokémon Red. Primeape, Arcanine, Ariados, Gligar, Ursaring, and Mantine.
Fire types in Sinnoh were... unfortunate. Since Gen 4 only had 150-210 Pokemon in the Dex after R/S/E had a total of 200, the type diversity in this Gen is extremely awkward.
For D/P, it was either you picked Chimchar, caught a Ponyta, or never use a Fire type in your team at all. How did Platinum fix this? ...By giving literally 3 more Fire types so Flint could actually have a full team of Fire types. Ironically...
There are more Pokemon in those games that can learn Fire moves more than the amount of Fire types in Gen 4.
Congrats on the win. Though you would’ve beaten Cynthia way faster had you used Fire Blast over Solar Beam. You get STAB and the Burn chance would’ve fixed your HP range problems twofold, Burn would’ve axed Garchomp’s last sliver of health and halved the power of Earthquake so you’d have more going into Togekiss by default.
"Fire's neutral to both third forms of the other two Starters" Um no, Ground doesn't resist Fire, so Torterra being Grass/Ground is still indeed weak to Fire like it originally was. Empoleon does however now take neutral damage since Steel is weak to it, and Water of course resists it making it so.
I actually used a Rapidash on my Diamond team not too long ago because I wanted to use Torterra and Lucario without making Fighting-Type overlaps with Infernape. I didn't go with the "supposed best Sinnoh team" of Infernape, Lucario, Luxray, Floatzel, Garchomp and Staraptor because that's just too common and overused in my eyes. You already got my first three, then Crobat, Raichu and Golduck were the others in the team.
I know TM stands for Training Machine, but for some reason today I kept hearing stuff like "Fire Blast TradeMark"
That ended up being super close, but that was a fun time. Thanks to Mah Dry Bread for going through this.
Gold exclusives, huh... that should be interesting. Probably going to a brutal early Johto, an easy mid-Johto, a tough-but-manageable Elite Four, a smooth Kanto, and a fun Red battle. I could be wrong, though, looking forward to it!
Random words of the "Day"™: day 710, 711, 712, and 713: Kleptomania, Maniacally, Bosnia, Banish
Nothing funnier than picturing a grown man riding up to a champion on a small cute fire pony.
MDB... being flooded with work... always working... Hm. I dunno. Doesn't seem to add up. Next you're going to tell me you uploaded every day for ten years.
Now that I've flooded my post with nonsense, I can foolishly admit it took me a second to understand the name joke. ☠️
Fire Types in Platinum is> Chimchar to Infernape, Ponyta to Rapidash, Houndour to Houndoom and Eevee to Flareon
I've just beaten Pearl for the first time, and was surprised to find my early game Kricketot/Kricketune proved useful enough to stay on my team throughout. I therefore challenge you to do gen 4 with only Kricketot
Can you beat pokemon Emerald with only one Luvdisc? Emerald will probably be harder than Ruby & Sapphire, since you will be fighting 2 water specialists instead of just 1 in R/S.
#MDBA Challenge idea:
Can you Beat Oblivion, Poison only run?
The rules are pretty simple:
- you can only use Poison as a means of dealing damage
- when using alchemy, you can only make poison
of course, you can add rules as you see fit
As usually, I'm writing this before you ever did the challenge
let me know in the comments if MDBA decides to do it at any point.
Comments are good for the YT algorithm after all
Solo Platinum runs are very quickly becoming "Can this Pokemon beat Garchomp?" Nothing else seems to be a problem for them with some levels, just that dang Garchomp. Fair, but brutal nevertheless.
I know you probably won't want to do another Platinum run for the next Pokémon challenge, but when you do play it again I've got a challenge idea. Pokémon Platinum with only East and West Sea Gastrodon. They can learn powerful moves like Earthquake though, so if you want to make it harder then you could use East and West Sea Shellos instead.
I can't help but notice that you're still naming your rival after G00seIt, but he hasn't posted anything on YT in almost a year. He doing okay?
Platinum was always my favourite pokemon gen, and I think still is barring Legends Arceus. It's really long though and the cutscenes have a bad habit of dragging on like most modern Pokemon titles
Team run with Pokemon only beginning with M D or B. No legendary, pseudo legendary, or mythical. Any Gen. Can't catch a Pokemon beginning with another letter only to evolve it to one starting with M D B
It would be interesting to see B2W2 with only therian landorus, considering the high capacity for interesting strategies with that thing’s massive movepool and ability to compress roles, but perhaps too easy. Maybe with some further restriction or another, like no STAB, or only special moves?
Hey MDB! Here's a funny one! Pokemon Emerald with only a Geodude. You can name it Dwayne, because that's hilarious! 🙂👍
#pokemon
When I was a young child, the name Cynthia was synonymous with the doll from Rugrats. But in my later childhood, it's synonymous with Pokémon champion Cynthia 😅
Yeah, onix has a pretty beefy physical defense of 160, but only a measly 45 special defense. Any special attacker would have a field day with it, regardless of resistance.
I have a run request:
Pokémon Black with only one Zorua.
The Bidoof only run did sour the Unova runs for me but maybe seeing one of my all-time favorite Pokémon could convince me to watch them again.
MDBAMA
Hey MahDryBread! Hope you’re doing well.
So I recently stumbled upon your older Terraria playthrough series. It’s great! But it also is pretty old. With all the new content and updates being released, are you planning on doing another playthrough of Terraria? You don’t even have to upload it, I’m just wondering if you’ve been enjoying it. :)
I think a cool challenge idea would be doing Pokémon Emerald with Skitty/Delcatty but you can only use Assist. Obviously you can’t use the other Pokémon on your team for battles so the moves you’re pulling from are just what they have when you catch em. It’s like a controlled Metronome run.
I think the biggest challenge this kind of run will give you is do you have a small team so you’re more likely to get the move you want or do you go full team 6 for massive coverage but less likely to get whatever move you need at the time.
I want MDB to do the Version Exclusive runs for the games he doesn't play in the same Generation, so he can compare which is more fun. Version Exclusive runs for Blue and Silver, etc.
I'm curious if infernape would've been harder given empoleon is neutral, where infernape resists fire while also having close combat...probably not xD
Glad it's gold version he's doing it in as two of silver's exclusives are practically useless. I would have picked silver because I love Donphan and you can actually catch phanpy in the early game but seeing the list of exercises...yeah gold was the right choice
Hey how about multiple turn/hit only moves ie dig, fly, solar beam, petal dance or pin missile. no single damage moves or no damage moves. I'm thinking anything lasting multiple turn should count like fire spin sunny day reflect moves that will return to normal after a few turns. You can pick the game
Fire is NOT neutral against Torterra, ground doesn't resist fire, but is super effective against it
Edit: you also said "I name him Horsea" but your Ponyta is female
Love the video, but a suggestion. I like hearing the ideas you have, but it’s disappointing not to see them. You just say the idea, then immediately tell us that it worked or didn’t work. I know it would make for a longer video, but I feel like you should slow down the commentary and use the battles and stuff to build suspense on if the plan works or not. All in all it’s still a good video!
Hi mydrybrad can you do a pokemon solo run in emerald with marshtomp pleash!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could have used shuca berry to reduce ground damage, natural gift for some pokémon or even burn like against garchomp.
So, the double fights in Platinum are quite cool from a modding perspective because (if I understood it correctly) they pull your partners' teams from the same file as they would if you were fighting them. I think this means that (and I could be wrong here) people can mod the game so that you have full 12 v 12 double battles. Or alternatively, your rival could be limited in the double battles to using the same Pokemon as you do for the challenge, then go back to using his regular team when you fight him.
Daaaang Garchomp was almost a run killer. Also day 69 of asking for Skyrim with no weapons and no spells. Punchcat!
Pokemon Platinum is 4th gen not 3rd gen as your description indicates. As a proud Pokemon Platinum Regigigas owner I felt compelled to point this out.
Wanted to say thanks for putting out this Ponyta video, Ponyta and Rapidash being two of my favourites. I watch your videos all the time and I was sorry to hear you and your wife split but it sounds like your doing ok, hope this helps a little bit, keep up the good work!
Idk if you like watching other people play pokemon but if you do have you seen flygon hg's mono fire type hardcore nuzlock on diamond/pearl? Is a good watch
Hello Mr. Mah Dry Bread, I am putting this in a polite way incase others decide to roast you alive. So you were correct when you said that Empoleon is nuetral to fure type. However, torterra is not since ground type does not resist fire. I understand how this can be confusing.
Nice run!
Maybe you could have replaced Solarbeam at the end, instead of Substitute, so you could have a sub for Garchomp.
This isn’t just a you thing; why do so many people say “pony-tuh” instead of “pony-tah” (or for the Brits and Aussies, “pony-tar”)?
I used to watch these in like 2021 and you legitimately have not changed in 3 years. I don’t know whether I should be scared or proud
You were kinda screwed with Ability either way. Flash Fire, unless in a VERY certain situation is just not good and Run Away is worthless in a playthrough
Nope, in Diamond and Pearl the only fire types are the Chimchar line and Ponyta line, Flygonhg did a fire type only monolocke run in diamond and it was brutal just cause of that lol
You should do Can I Beat Pokemon Gold with only one smoochum and Can I Beat Pokemon Gold with Only One Aipom
You've never done a challenge using only one Poochyena. It's crazy week and it would be interesting considering its awful ability and that dark is special in gen 3
