  • Most people don't like Muk but I have some fond memories from using one in battle and I think it's an interesting run. Let's see how this puddle of sludge does!

    ► • Gym Leader Matt's Solo...
    🍤 Solo Run Rules: 🍤
    ►I can only use the title Pokemon in battle. No switching at all, HM Pokemon are required.
    ►No use of items in battle. Potions, TMs, etc. are allowed outside of battle.
    ►No use of skips/exploits. This includes the Pokedoll Marowak skip. Badge boost is unavoidable.
    ►The TMs for Double Team and Toxic are banned. Pokemon that learn similar moves naturally are allowed to use it but not the TM.
    ►I play on x3 speed and use the in-game time for the run along with resets to rank these runs.

    I have to say I am surprised to see muk'd special stat in gen 1. With it being a specially defensive pokemon after the stat split, I would have expected it's special to have been higher.
    Also, while it probably would have nerfed him back down a bit, of all of the changes made in yellow version based on the anime the one that has always confused me the most is Blaine not getting a Magmar. I feel like that Charizard v. Magmar match up in the anime was so epic, it's one of the ones I remember the best still.

    I've never understood why grimer and muk get a pass but trubbish and garbodor are signs of "bad design". A pile of sludge versus a pile of garbage is essentially the same, and trubbish and garbodor have way more personality

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Рік тому +2

      I like trubbish but the answer is that this was 26+ years ago in the very first iteration before Pokemon was even remotely popular. To be fair, I love trubbish, but the idea is that they had over a decade to be more creative.

  • @OasisCherryjuice182
    @OasisCherryjuice182 Рік тому +2

    IMO minimize/double team should be banned either way. I get the logic but I still think it's more interesting if all Pokemon have to find a way around tough battles.

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Рік тому

      Hard disagree. Only 6 Pokemon learn minimize total and two of those are shared evos with each other like Clefairy/Clefable and Grimer/Muk. Double Team is only naturally found on two Pokemon total. It's part of their flavor and kit and not using them just makes the runs significantly worse and you are punishing them for what Gamefreak put on the kit. The TMs I ban are because it would define the runs and most Pokemon would resort to it but when only 5% of the total Pokemon in gen 1 learn it naturally, it's nice to see how it helps them even the scales.
      A flat out ban is just a hard nerf to a very small and niche group of Pokemon.

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Рік тому +1

      Yea, I really wanted to use it and tested it multiple times but it just slowed things down and it is a 'how fast' series at the end of the day. Erika is just a beast but you can skip her and hold her off forever so it loses the impact but she can probably destroy most Pokemon if you had to do her 4th.

    Great run! I was hoping to see Sludge get some love, but I understand why you could not make it worth it - especially as high of a level as Muk learns it - playing as a Muk (I believe that Grimer learns it a lot earlier). I can't say enough great things about your Tier cards though. They are refreshing and easy to look at. I have seen other folks mention that the Pokemon's final level should be added to each card, but I am not sure if it would really help or not. It might be difficult to do - without "cluttering" the cards. They look really good to me - whichever way you end up taking them.

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Рік тому +1

      Yea, I'm not sure how to tweak them much. The level is insignificant to me and kind of ties into the final time. Like if something is at 5 hours of game time, you know it grinded very high or vice versa. I need to do a video but I'd really like to get like 1/3rd of the way through Kanto first for a little 'midterm' explanation. It's all new though.

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Рік тому +1

      Fast is the best but it's only on virtually 3 Pokemon. Clefairy and it's evo, Jigglypuff and it's evo, and Chansey. It's rare to really 'count'. The medium fast is just the standard level up group. It's not stupidly slow and I think around level 68 it's faster than the medium slow group but by that level 99% of the Pokemon don't need to level up anymore.
      Medium slow is so good because of how bad the early game can be. It's actually faster than the fast group for the first handful of levels and levels up faster than medium fast until that level 68 mark. Faster levels equals easier battles and less grinding so that's the sentiment.

It's Pokémon Challenge channels like yours and many others I love watching on a daily basis that inspired me to do my own Pokémon challenge runs. I have been doing challenge runs of my own since 2020 and, I have loved Pokémon and have been a fan since I was 3 years old. My favourite games are Pokémon Fire Red and Pokémon Emerald and have been since I was a child.

    Watching you fight Erika right now. Mega Drain is pretty helpful on Muk I guess, gen 1 poison types are an interesting bunch - not just Muk and Weezing, but also Tentacruel and the several grass/poison types. Victreebel is amazing in particular.

    muk will probably do decently well, it's got a surprisingly good move list (though not as good as weezing's), and it's got excellent physical attack and HP, decent physical defense, but unfortunately for it it doesn't have it's gen2 and on special defense stat (105), being stuck with it's worse special attack stat (65) as it's gen1 special stat. It's also pretty slow at 50, but stat exp should help it patch up both special and speed over the run. Medium fast growth rate isn't the best, but it isn't terrible like the slow rate is
    Early game will be slow, brock will be painful, but after that it should pick up with body slam and thunderbolt (huh, I initially put mega punch here too, but checking it's gen 1 moveset it doesn't learn it. Weird, given it's starting move of pound and later gens letting it learn the elemental punches and other punch moves). Stat boost moves will also help it late game. Mega drain will be a nice option for the rock/ground types, ground types in particular since muk would have a hard time handling them otherwise aside from body slam
    The cards for the pokemon rankings are a neat touch, very cool

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Рік тому +1

      Pretty spot on but I do disagree about Weezing having a better learnset. It doesn’t get a badge boosting move and has fire blast rather than the extremely helpful mega drain for coverage. I can’t say for sure, but I think Weezing might be the worst evolved Pokémon when we get to that point.

    • @MarkofWisdom
      @MarkofWisdom Рік тому +1

      @@GymLeaderMatt1987 hmm, I might be thinking of later gens for weezing movepools then, because it, like a lot of gen 1 pokemon, learns some surprising moves that you wouldn't expect. Doesn't muk have access to fire blast like weezing too? So Weezing lacks mega drain rather than having fire blast instead. Both pokemon really wish flamethrower was a TM in gen 1

    This is just my personal opinion, but doing the light years junior trainer blackout thing repeatedly and still having zero resets on the counter just doesn't feel right to me
    Yes, I understand that a reset is not the same thing as a blackout, and I understand that it's a much more quick and convenient way to level up compared to grinding against Caterpie and Metapod
    It's probably me just taking things too seriously, but I don't like blacking out in any Pokémon game for any reason, as it just doesn't feel like a good thing to do

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Рік тому +1

      That's what's cool about doing solo challenges, you can kind of make up your own rules and go about however you'd like to. The only difference from a strategic blackout and grinding metapods and caterpies? Time. It's just much slower and the whole goal is to see how fast. Arbitrarily not allowing blackout grinding is just making the run slower for no other reason than this weird self imposed sense of justice doesn't feel like a good thing to do to me, to use your words. It would be like allowing the Marowak skip in Pokemon Tower but condemning Light Years grinding. It's just like...where do you draw the line? Intentionally glitching the game and skipping a portion of it is fine but it's too far when you are letting a trainer beat you to get more experience? It sounds ridiculous when you put it like that.
      If I were to lose to the Diglett, I'd count the reset, but since my intention is to get the experience and purposely lose, it doesn't count because I'm not actually resetting the game, hence what a reset actually is. It isn't a 'death' counter, it's how many times I reset the game.

      I haven’t narrowed it down. I’ve been tweaking numbers and even getting AI to help get a number that seems like it fits. I think the time is most important but I want resets to reflect in the score but not kill something. It’s preliminary but I have an equation that I’m messing with that spits out a number on a scale of 0-100 that looks pretty accurate.
      It all comes down to that I have like 40~ data points to plug in and when they all feel decent, I’ll start to use it and discuss the details of it. I tinkered with the idea of difficulty modifiers for Pokémon past a certain time but I don’t think it’s going to pan out right now. I think a time time and reset penalty in the right formula will do what I want.
