Crowd: What kinda name is Rhyperior? Player: I'll see who's laughing 4 years from now... *Rhyperior was made real* Crowd: O_O_O_O I'll never doubt you again, your highness!
Mews Special Atk & Sp. def were the same now so it woudnt make a difference in Generation I in terms of both of them becoming special but the lack of weaknesses back then made Psychic types unbalanced. Good thing they introduced more deadly bug type moves & made them weak to ghost & dark.
I sacrificed recover on Starmie for coverage. The gambler tends to have pokemon that are faster than mine so they tend to attempt to use one-hit-ko moves before i get the substitute up.
I don´t know if it is possible to clear the Round 2 using rental pokémon, but I´ve seen videos of people that finished the Gym Leader Castle in Round 2 with rental pokémon. Changing the theme: If you raise a pokémon with rare candies it´s stats will not grow as well as If it leveled up battling.
Yesterday, I managed to beat both ultra and master ball r2 of this tournament. On master ball, I tried to unlock the surfing Pikachu, and everything was going great until the final. I didn`t lost until there, when his last pokemon was tauros and mine was blastoise and my pikachu. He was needing two body slams and I, one surf, but he got a critical hit and killed my blastoise. My pikachu was in the lv. 66, so one body slam was enough. In the second try, I switched pikachu by a raichu that worked
@TheRammsteinfan lol its not really a strategy its called sstarmie is water type jolteon is faster and is elec type so lets go into rhydon to absorb thunder bolt -_-
@marmar3291 The jerk had to swap pokemon c'mon his jolteon was gonna be raped, that toxic would've damaged mew for example. So toxic was the smartest choice. This game so brings back memories. Starmie FTW!
a pokemon raised by rare candies is a lot weaker than one that leveled up by battling other pokemon. so even if he did use them, it just makes the battles tougher.
And the solution is...to run faster Speeds, no? Even increasing speed on the Pokemon you have goes a long way; Starmie is capable of being fast enough to definitively outrace everything on that team except Dugtrio, and possibly even that if the Gambler is missing more than about 10 points in that department.
...and until you get to Mewtwo, none of the Pokemon you face will cover their stats to maximum. If you get a Starmie to maximum Speed, or just a few points off, it can outrace the enemy Dugtrios you face with little problem.
But he used it really bad: he didn´t taught it good moves, and it didn´t order it to recover it´s health with Softboiled when it had the chance (supposing that his Mew had Softboiled).
You point out how good Substitute is, then complain about the Gambler's strategy...did it ever occur to you to run Substitute into the Gambler and just go to town on his entire methodology? (It'd also be much easier if Starmie actually had Recover to go with it.)
I once played in a tournament of level 50 pokémon, everything was well until I fought a bastard that used a team compossed of 6 Mewtwo, he cleaned the floor with me and eventually won the tournament. The stupid judges didn´t do anything because it didn´t exist a rule that banned Mewtwo from the tournament even when a level 50 Mewtwo was impposible to catch in the first games without cheating.
the CPU's AI is unbelievably cheap in R2... in both games. The lead being conveniently the type you're weak to, critical hits always working when you don't need them, like on the final blow, attract stopping your attack 4 times IN A ROW...
get the lowest level pokemon, use 10 of carbos, hp up, iron, etc.... and train them... dont use rare candies... thats all... maybe they don get all the stats to the max, but they will be very high

I agree 100%. There awesome remixes of the original R/B/Y musics.
I have to say "WOW". Your strategy is really great. compliment player
Psychic doesnt have much type coverage, since it only hits fighting and poison for super effective. Starmie's moves have more type coverage offered.

@XSonictheH well yeah OHKO moves don't work on faster pokemon so that's kind of a prerequisite
I love the background music on r-2 prime cup master ball
Thats why i poisoned it so that if it does use Softboiled, it would just mean getting worse damage by the poison as it increases.

Seems like the game designers upped Mews Special att and def a little bit.
How do you actually get maxed stats back in Gen 1? I never understood how.
are those rentals?
Tauros could learn Swords Dance legally in the first pokémon games?
I remember playing the exact same level my Mewtwo got whooped by that mew
a rhydon surviving a Mew psychic... trained the hard old way
@vizardvolroc My Starmie has Psychic, Hydro Pump, Thunderbolt, and Recover and I dare say it's almost as good as Mewtwo when it comes to battling
Indeed it is, if you didn't use it, Starmie would be knocked down by that earthquake.
@marmar3291 The jerk had to swap pokemon c'mon his jolteon was gonna be raped, that toxic would've damaged mew for example. So toxic was the smartest choice. This game so brings back memories. Starmie FTW!
Luckily, in round 1, his snorlax gave my tauros enough time to use swords dance 3x, so one body slam elimanated that mew easily.

so even if he did use them, it just makes the battles tougher.
Why?

A Tauros with thunder?
oh fuck...
maxed stats are pretty much mandatory to win in round 2....
1:57
IT has to recharge loooool
Dugtrio has 120 base speed, compared to the base 115 of starmie...
...and until you get to Mewtwo, none of the Pokemon you face will cover their stats to maximum. If you get a Starmie to maximum Speed, or just a few points off, it can outrace the enemy Dugtrios you face with little problem.
Yeah, even in the second generation they could survive a Crunch from Houndoom or Tyranitar and a Mega Horn from Heracross.

He used poison because he preticted a switch.
