Solo Pseudo Showdown - Dragonite VS Tyranitar VS Metagross - Pokémon FireRed

  • Challenge Rules:
    I can only use my starter in battle.
    No items in trainer battles except held items.
    No glitches, exploits, or RNG manipulations.
    Accuracy moves aren’t explicitly banned but will be avoided.
    I will be playing these runs at 4x game speed
    My footage will be edited to give what I consider a better viewing experience. This includes making cuts, fades, and adjusting the speed of the footage to match my commentary.
    I use a software called "PKHeX" to edit my starter, setting things like it's Nature, and IVs to be perfect 31s, or marginally reduced to give specific Hidden Power typing to optimize strategy. All of the Pokémon I use are 100% attainable in the base game. The software allows me to create my "perfect" egg Pokémon in a much shorter timeframe.
    PKHeX also allows me to set my Pokédex total to max after the Round 1 Elite 4. A requirement of Round 2 is catching 60 species and I am only interested in the potential of the Pokémon that I'm running instead of my ability to catch Pokémon optimally.

    I know this had to have taken a painstakingly long time. The editing alone would be long enough to make anyone poached. I do think this is a very cool concept that could be applied to a lot of other related mons(rodent, bird, premiere fighting type, etc). I’m sure this will be an amazing video and thank you for existing

    Never really thought about how strong the Rival's Venusaur team is having two Intimidate users until I used it for myself, sometimes I use the Rival's team to see how difficult it would be to beat the game as them.

    The final time for the Tyranitar is Unfair. Since the Ttar run has an extra text line with its sand stream (and possible sand damage), which adds up to be a couple of minutes more spent. So good that you mentioned it at 10:45.

    This is actually a really good vs. All three Pokémon have different types to make each run unique. Makes me wish that Pokemon would give us more pseudo Legends that are not exclusively Dragon types. As cool as Dragons are we could use some more other type combos as pseudomons.

      There are a disproportionately high amount of Dragon types among the pseudos, eh? I'm looking forward to revisiting this VS in Gen 4 so the moveset diversity can broaden a bit. And Sandstorm does more for Tyranitar than cause a lot of text to show up on screen.

    One small correction, Revenge does not power up based on percentage of HP remaining. That would be Reversal. The Revenge Machoke knocked Tyranitar out with was only _720_ base power. (60 base, x 2 for being hit, x 1.5 for STAB, x 2 for dark, x 2 for rock for 60 x 12)

    Eggcellent sir, simply eggcellent. ok 1st I see what you mean with the poison point that was rough, not as rough as those fighting moves on Tyranitar though and poor dagonite losing its 1st to Brock and metagross with the fire blasts and flamethrowers. all of them are superb Pokemon and you run each and every one of them very well, but those weaknesses are a lot to get around you're facing them. despite the number of resets on the initial runs (surprised by how few for Tyranitar) I am so surprised by how close they all were.
    for the second runs, yeah should of kept aerial ace against Koga, that Muk is such a pain, Muk is a special defender so always go physical and weezing is physical defender so always go special. your grinding and training earlier was a wise move, do remember these are all slow growth Pokemon so those extra levels are a must as you found with the initial runs. love the cleaner sweeps you got from the 2nd runs, you really showed off what beasts all of them truly are. I can forgive that reset on dragonite against Lance, AI is hard to predict sometimes, it likes to keep you guessing
    I am so surprised Metagross won this, but it is the simpler of the 3 and keeping it simple sometimes is better, it had fewer moves to choose from, no boosts and monstrous attack and defense. you played all 3 beautifully and I look forward to seeing Salamence and seeing if it can take the top spot from Metagross, we gotta talk fossils and snakes as well, there is much to talk about

      I felt the same way! When I was doing the scripting and editing I take timestamps of all of them as they progress through the game it was so cool to play them, then edit them and watch the runs converge and diverge. Such a blast! Finding those random points to be aware of too with Poison point/random OHKO fighting moves was so great. So many uneggspected things I find even with pseudos.
      I love approaching the runs with the mentality of "what's possible" then "what's optimal". If I just set up a bunch in the first runs I don't feel I'd be able to push the limits as much with the second runs. I do damage calcs sometimes but not all the time. I prefer to feel things out and learn by experience. Only calcing in those extra tricky spots or when I'm genuinely curious if a crit mattered, or if I would have survived a miss.
      I honestly wasn't too surprised with the Metagross win. I thought maybe the lack of set up would cost it but it's just too beastly. Thanks, I feel like these runs are making me a better player, which is making the content better! I'm looking forward to more tricky run that require more thought like the snakes, or upcoming fossils. There are so many things to discuss!

I like that you kept crunch for the 2nd run, Tyranitar is one of very few that make good use of it mostly because it is a special move that mostly physical attackers get. I would of added thunderbolt to it to help deal with water types
      I am still surprised Metagross won, but in hindsight I can see how it did, most of Fire Red's EV's lean towards attack, defense and speed, which is what Metagross needs the most, psychic is a nice STAB move and its typing is pure defense. I look forward to what you're going to do with Salamance. I have a feeling you'll go Dragon Dance on it as well, but If I may I suggest Hydro pump will serve you well, Salamence is a glass cannon and a mixed attacker, lean into it and go big, it doesn't get ice beam and hydro pump will serve well in its place, also how many Pokemon get flamethrower and hydro pump at once

I couldn't not have Tyranitar using Crunch it feels so thematic to him. If it weren't for all of that weather text I feel like Tyranitar might have won it.
      I had considered Hydro Pump to get past Brock super early but I was struggling to find a way in the late game to avoid DD. It exists sure but I'm not convinced that it would be faster than using DD strats. Salamence gets the move that Dragonite was sorely lacking - Rock Slide. I couldn't decide how I want to do the fossils though I really want to do most cross generation match ups but having Helix VS Dome just can't go unexplored.

      I guess to keep it consistent with the others Dragon Dance makes sense. I suggest Hydro pump because how salamence compares to dragonite, its attack it as good, its special attack and speed are slightly better, but its defenses and HP are all lower and it will not take much of a hit, below a certain level Onix might 1 shot with Rock Tomb every time, Hydro Pump might get you around that, rock slide will be a nice addition to its move set, it gets a lot dragonite doesn't but it gets less than dragonite in other areas.
      as you're running all the fossils, its a straight 5 way race to me, with the exception of Cradilly I can't guess at who the winner of it will be, each has its road blocks and difficulties, grass will be the downfall of Omastar and Kabutops, but not the others, the others might fall to Lorelei's ice types or rock slide or rock tomb from Bruno of all people, there is a lot to consider. the parings kinda have to be a certain way, everyone is going to want to see dome vs helix, aerodactyl is a lone flier and the Bug vs the grass is very much a battle of who falls the the most to Blaine and Charizard. with the exception of Aerodactyl, you'd find the movesets a frustration as well, Omastar needs more special moves and Kabutops needs more physical, Cadilly is decent for a duel STAB but the stats don't help it and Armaldo's typing will leave it weak or neutral to most of the game regardless to moveset, its speed it awful

      I understand your thinking with Hydro, Salamence's stats offensively are better than Dragonite. I do think that the holes I was looking to fill in Dragonite's learnset are filled in Salamence's. Despite it being more limiting overall.
      I haven't started running the fossils yet but I'm super interested in the Gen 3 ones. I have a lose idea of how I feel Helix/Dome will go (not a winner, just the runs themselves) but I have no idea how Cradily and Armaldo will stack up. Armaldo's speed is only 45? I had to look it up. That's going to be terrible to try and run! At least he's not weak to too much.. except you know.. Water.

    17:33 I know this question is intened to be a joke, but it always drives me kinda crazy. Obviously these games have been out for forever so everyone knows you can't really do anything in lavender town, at least now. However, when the originals first came out in the late 90s and the internet was way less of a thing than it is now, nobody knew that. So you would get to a new town and explore, thats pretty much what the game taught you to do before this point.

    Mostly what I figured. I honestly forgot how strong Clear Body would be and didn't think Blaine would be quite as much of an issue as he was but over all I got it.
    T-Tar honestly did a bit better than I expected, I thought Bruno would be harder for him but D-Dance is the out. Still it's typing and lower speed were always going to be hitches and that Sand Storm text is brutal.
    Dragonite did almost exactly as I expected, albiet I thought there'd be 1 or 2 more wipes to Loralie.
    And Metagross, with no 4X weakness and just good raw power breaking through even without set up, as I expected. I wonder though, I think Rock Polish is an Egg Move, I wonder if that'd have helped at all? Question for another day. But most of it's problems seemed to come down to luck, Meteor Mash and Rock Tomb aren't fully accurate and it's slow enough that a lot of chances for status to happen, and you could see that build up. Like 3 of the 4 resets in the last run were purely luck.

      Very true and in an RNG heavy game you're kind of forced to roll with the punches. I had considered pursuing HP Rock for Metagross but I didn't know if the time investment would help or hurt it's time. Rock Polish didn't exist until Gen 4 unfortunately, but we did get access to Agility. With the EVs I collected though with a few extra levels Speed wasn't Metagross's biggest issue. Poor Tyranitar and his weather text. Cost so much time!

    You goofed the weaknesses for Metagross. Ghost and Dark are neutral on it until gen 6 when Steel loses resistance to those 2 as sacrifice for resisting and being super effective against Fairy.
    So only 2 weaknesses for the metal menace.

      @Eggsceptional  Рік тому +1

      You are correct!! I did get that wrong. I was looking at the weaknesses online not accounting for the fact that typing matchups have evolved over the years. I mean... Fire didn't even resist Ice at one point. Thanks for pointing it out :)

      @Eggsceptional GREAT! I subscribed and now I know it was the right call. I really love Hitmonchan but him being gimped by the special split not happening till gen 4 makes this run idea a lot more difficult I bet.

      @@reicherwallace6774 I'm honestly a little worried about them because I'm concerned that they'll all end up with very similar movesets in the late game. Bulk Up, a Fighting move, and a Rock move. We'll see though, it'll be a lot of fun to maybe work in some Thunderpunch for Gyarados or something :) Please be patient with me though! I want to give every Pokémon a fair shot, so of course that means that it takes more time to cover each one. Thank you :)

    • @reicherwallace6774
      @reicherwallace6774 Рік тому +1

      @Eggsceptional I'm pretty patient. I imagine the movesets won't be as interesting as the difference in how well they can tackle each challenge due to their stats being so wildly different 🤔 hitmonchan is super bulky against special for some reason. I think in gen 1 his special was high but when the special att/def split happened they decided instead of giving him a higher special atk to make use of his element punches they'd make him basically tank them instead? Weird choice but it ended up paying off more after the moves had their diversity in gen 4. All and all I definitely have been enjoying your content. I let your videos play while I'm working to get me through my shifts lately.

      @@reicherwallace6774 That's a fair point! Stats and learnsets do differ enough that there are definitely varied options between them, but I'm worried that the BEST options will all end up being the same. I guess there's only one way to find out :)
