Rules: (1) No Items in Battle (2) Pokemon cannot be used once they exceed level 50 (3) No glitches (4) "Set Mode" (even though the game doesn't actually let you do that) (5) No damaging moves. - Ігри
Once you play pokemon at 4x speed it becomes so incredibly painful to go back to normal speed, especially in a game like this where you can't even turn off animations. Major props for this grind
Facts
true. ive been playing fangames with built in fast forward and aaa. i straight up don't have the patience to wait at nornal speed
It’s so funny bc I’ll have the patience if I’m playing a new game but as soon as that’s over I need to speed things up lol
I usually have the patience for the normal game speed. It only becomes tedious when the game doesn't react for a long time to the attacks or items I've selected. That's been a problem since the 6th generation though. I select an attack, the selection menu disappears (so the game has definitely registered it) and then I'm sitting there waiting for what feels like five minutes watching as the camera circles my Pokemon, zooms in at the opponent, zooms in on my trainer, circles around both Pokemon, shows both Pokemon on a split screen, zooms in on my Pokemon, before it FINALLY uses the attack or item I selected. I first thought that was just the case with the 3DS games because my 3DS was getting old by that point and probably slower - but then Sword did the same on a new Switch.
Those are the times when I really wish I could just speed the game up.
Honestly, not having Will o Wisp on Arcanine during the Hassel fight was definitely a blessing in disguise- Baxcalibur has Thermal Exchange which makes it immune to burns and raises its attack which means that you would have made it hit even harder
Also haunter dying in the Atticus fight was good. If he gave it black sludge, it would've healed. Lol.
I think the idea of NPC's pokemon holding items is so good! Like I want players to run into some random lady with a Blunder Policy, Hypnosis Drowzee that either sleeps you or starts outspeeding you the next turn if it misses. Neat little strats like that, it would give GF a great excuse to show off some gillicks and interactions that they spent a ton of energy building into the battle system but not showing us.
Actually really good that haunter *didn't* trick on the black sludge. The Navi Starmobile is poison type, so it would heal it instead.
Also, surprised that Cacturne didn't make appearances during the starmobile fights. Spiky shield is good damage against them.
I was thinking the exact same thing about the Navi Starmobile
Fun fact: even though wooper is a ground/poison in this gen you can still find them with the water absorb ability so that water moves heal them instead of hurting
Huh.. i didn't actually know that, thanks for the neat fact.
Yeah, Rika's has water absorb. Found that out the hard way.
I ran one of those on my first playthrough. Lots of fun!
yeah I'm 30 minutes in the video and I don't understand why jrose isn't changing the abilities of the Pokémon when they could have a more helpful one - for example he said he wished he had Mabostiff with intimidate vs the 6th gym leader. You don't need to get a new mon, just use an ability capsule, they're pretty easy to find
@@Makenor13 The most this guy ever "plans" is he'll look at a movelist, and sometimes he doesn't even really do that correctly.
Jrose: they will learn of our peaceful ways.....by force

I found out about the Starmobiles' immunity to status moves the hard way during a Violet nuzlocke. They also have unlimited PP
"The debut of Rocky Helmet"
But... You used it against the bug gym. On Arcanine.
That's what I came to say too lmao
Same here. Noticed it on Iono but still.
Ended working out that haunter fainted before tricking black sludge - woulda been very annoying to see the healing instead of damage on the poison star mobile
That’s what I was thinking when he mentioned they run poison type
Yay, a new Jrose11 feature film! This channel is a legit gem, man. Cannot get enough of watching your runs.
Breaking down all the weird immunities that the Starmobiles had was insane and Tricking a Black Sludge onto to it was an incredibly clever strategy. I wanna try this with Grafaiai, a Poison/Normal type with access to not only Switcheroo, but Prankster to give it priority and Parting Shot to drop stats. The only tricky part would be beating a 3 star Tera Raid, which might still be doable given how flexible the game is
Do you know if destiny bond works on it?
It's very doable. A good support mon can carry the AI through a raid. Screens, Helping Hand, Life Dew or Pollen Puff, abilities like Friend Guard and Healer. Etc etc.
Probably easier than the rest of the run would be lol
Screech/metal sound or fake tears. 3 star would be a non issue. Aside from that just use a tanky mon with protect/roost or something. You could support AI through a 5 star.
@@DarsusD nope, i tried it.
@@bobjob2514 curse slack off skeledirge does pretty well too.
One thing to consider also is to use Gravity because it would make it so flying and levitate pokemon can be hit hy spikes/toxic spikes. It is a TM now since the DLC came out so it has wider distribution.
I always felt something hit different with a JRose Nintendo Switch video and then I realized it's because the gameplay footage takes up the whole screen compared to the games he usually does challenge runs on 😄
LOL so that's what it is!!! I've been wondering why it feels so different 😂
Yeah, I just realized it too!
I mean it’s because he’s lazy af with his content.
Like even shitty ones have a UI
JROSE SCARLET VIOLET??
No, roses are red. Violets are blue.
Its the third one , he did a Fuecoco Solo Run and Magicarp one not to long ago
i dont know this looks like a black and white run to me
He's done multiple
JROSE POKEMON??
43:32 So... what you mean is you actually saved yourself, cause you were going to trick Black Sludge onto the POISON Starmobile. Meaning you wanted to give it a good item.
Normally I don’t have any issue with different pronunciation, but “Glavine” isn’t even the same word as “Glaive”. That aside, I really enjoyed this video. I agree the future/past Pokemon names work way better as a mystery than as just it’s name, except maybe for Iron Valiant.
Stealth Rocks bugged me pretty bad. No idea why
Certified Fweb moment
The "Glaive"/"Glavine" also got me a bit irked.
However, the names are a yes-and-no... Like, take a random Pokemon. "Pikachu", a type of rodent and the Japanese onomatopoeia for "Squeak".. it's easy to see Pikachu being named "Squeaking Mouse". Charmander, "Char/charred/lit-on-fire" "Salamander". Aegislash: "Aegis"/a shield from Greek mythology + "Slash"/what swords do.
Most actual Pokemon names wind up being some linguistic wordplay on a central phrase. The problem with the Paradox Pokemon is that their "central phrase" never got exposed to that "wordplay".
Take Iron Hands, as an example. The non-paradox equivalent, Hariyama, comes from the name of a slap-move in Sumo Wrestling and the Japanese for "mountain" "Slapping Mountain".
Swap "Harite"/"Slap" with "Denki"/"Electricity" and you get Denkiyama, "Lightning Mountain". Or "Yama"/Mountain gets swapped instead, "Haridenki"/"Slapping Lightning". That sounds more like a legit Pokemon name, gets rid of the casual "Iron X" that Future-Paradox Pokemon were stupidly given across the board, makes sense for the "X Hands" 'before wordplay' state (given that it would make sense to get "Slapping Lightning" from either "Electric Hands" or "Lightning Hands"), AND connects the Pokemon directly to its present-alternative/non-paradox form, Hariyama.
Likewise, "Roaring Moon". Salamence is either "Salamander/Lizard Menace" or "Bomander" ("Violent Salamander/Lizard"). Salacrescent, Crescence... using the word "Crescent" for the specific type of moon it looks like. Or take the Japanese. "Moon" is "Tsuki" while "Crescent Moon"/New Moon is Mikadzuki ("three-day month/moon")... Scream is "Himei", combine them and you can get some mix of "Screaming/Sad-Sound" "Moon". Hitsuki/"Sad Moon" kinda feels right, though "Himeitsuki"/"Screaming Moon" does still fit. Maybe Salascream or Salashout for an English name, idk... but we haven't even left Japanese and English words for "Loud Sounds" and "Types of Lizards" and got lots of things that could work in both English and Japanese for Roaring Moon's "actual name".
The developers just needed to do some wordplay!
I am beyond convinced that the majority of native english speakers don't actually know the language. It literally says glaive right there on the screen, how in the world did he get glavine out of that
Dyslexia is very much a thing. Ask me how I know :p
I agree, I wish the Paradox Pokemon had placeholder names like the Ultra Beasts and then got actual names (especially since Brute Bonnet could have been Ungabungus, lol). I understand the mystery aspect, and I'm okay with Type: Null having the name it does since you can nickname it/it gets a name upon evolving, but how come only Koraidon and Miraidon get to have a placeholder and official name?
Great run, these Pacifist Challenges are some of my favorites to watch!
Yeah, those Starmobiles being flat out immune to stuff really sucks. It caught me out during just a normal run too 'cause I kept trying to do literally anything to cripple them and it just never worked out. Kinda frustrating 'cause it makes them more "spam attack to win" kind of fights instead of allowing for other strategies.
Yeah I almost lost my hc nuzlocke the first time I played the game because of that. Makes sense though, but it's frustrating.
As someone else that did a Status Moves Only playthrough of Scarlet, I'm so glad to see this.
Finding out first hand that the Starmobiles are immune to everything I had, including stalling their PP until Struggle, (They have infinite PP!) didn't work wasn't a fun moment. I figured out Sandstorm might work when Entry Hazards worked because it wasn't directly using a move against them and they blocked every Status Move I could use on them. I'm shocked Trick works on Starmobiles. I thought every Status Move failed against them! Even Worry Seed failed! (After Magic Guard in other games, I like having Worry Seed or Gastro Acid for emergencies.)
Fun Fact: Perish Song still affects your Pokemon even though it doesn't affect the Starmobile. Also, The AI in SV doesn't switch because of Perish Song any more. (I was using Altaria because it's my favorite Pokemon and I thought gaining Will-O-Wisp in SV was going to be its biggest buff.)
Would have been interesting to see how much easier this would be in the event that you could catch a Ferroseed. Ferrothorn is the best anti-NPC wall by far, perhaps the best anti-NPC pokémon period. A Protect, Iron Defense, Rest, and Flex move (spikes, toxic, substitute, etc.) set with rocky helmet is so potent. It's basically unkillable as long as you can read fire moves. And of course you had a Flash Fire user, so yeah, Ferrothorn would have definitely solved this run much easier.
Except Ferroseed has not been in the game. I wanna say you meant Forretress then?
@@noivernblast3366No, they meant Ferrothorn, and they were speaking hypothetically. The "in the event that you could catch a Ferroseed" line notes it as such lol
@@amberhernandez ohh I completely misread that. I read that as there being a random event for Ferroseed in the past, which of course hasn’t happened.
I need more "the car" it's the new "rival fival" of scarlet and violet runs. It tickles my fancy good sir.
I expected Salazzle to feature way more since you had it on your team + it has Corrosion (can poison steel and poison types) and Glimmora since it's free tspikes + learns the entry hazard moves
This was such a fun video, I loved how you put together SO MANY stacked strategies to work. My mind was blown when you threw in Aftermath.
ALso, challenge idea: Play Red & Blue (or any pair) SIMULTANEOUSLY using the same inputs. You'll have a really hard time synchronizing the games, but that's the challenge.
I'm sad that Haunter fainted before Tricking the Black Sludge onto the Poison Starmobile. I wanted to hear your reaction when it started healing.
Protect's success rate is 3^(-n), where n is the number of times you've successfully used Protect or an equivalent effect in a row. So, you have a 1/3 chance of success on the 2nd and a 1/9 chance on the 3rd.
It's Glaive Rush, not Glavine Rush. Not sure where you got the n.
Brutal run, but great to watch! For future reference by the way, you get a free leftovers in the town Larry's gym is located in.
"I don't think you can double protect anymore" As a VGC watcher, yes. It can still happen multiple times.
Black sludge on a poison type starmobile? To heal it up as you try to whittle it down? Should have thought more about that one, Josh.
As someone who did this challenge earlier this year i commend you problem solving on the starmobiles I ended up just using struggle on arcanine to get past them, congrats on finding a status move that works
I used a hippopotas with smooth rock and just stalled them. The hardest was the poison starmobile since I couldn't run through with 3 Hazzard + roar.
I really wish the gym leader’s levels scaled in this game. You did a really good job!
The black sludge workaround for the starmobiles was actually genius, well done!
This was a fun run to watch. Interesting strats were available right away and some Pokémon you wouldn’t ever see in a challenge run like this such as Spiritomb
Jrose, I was playing this exact rule set on Scarlet last week and got stuck on the Starmobiles. Sandstorm never occurred to me. I'm so happy that my run is live again, thanks!!!!
That's crazy
good luck on your run bud
Sandstorm is literally the only way. And if they were Steel [They are Revavroom]...
That Grusha battle.. you called Coalossal Caracoal 3 times 😂
I've been waiting for days for a video upload, glad to see this 😊 now don't mind me, going to watch this. Btw, the run you talked about in the beginning of the video is what got me hooked on your videos. Absolutely loved it so much.
Regardless of the tweet you made, I was going to watch this video because you make any video an absolute delight to watch! I always try to remember to like and comment to boost the algorithm because you deserve it!
Time to watch the video!!
The reason why Nemona is stronger than Geeta is because she already did the Champion challenge before. She’s just doing her journey over because she sees potential in you and wants you to get on her level by motivating you directly. Geeta herself also elaborates that she got her socks completely rocked when she fought Nemona, speculating that the class rep was holding back tremendously even then.
Geeta is a goddamn joke
We are being pitied it would seem. Might have been epic if they had a “New game plus” option where she didn’t hold back.
@@sidext I’ve theorycrafted Nemona’s second journey through Paldea, she could do decent at wiping Geeta out with her 7th Gym team. Glimmora is so flimsy that the way weaker Quaquaval can OHKO with Aqua Step after Water Tera and Torrent kick in.
@@sidextI played the game with a hard mode mod. Nemona brutalized me. 😅
a rare treat seeing jrose play a newer game, love to see it :)
It is interesting how so many trainers got wrecked by your Roar + entry hazards strats. Even though the AI is better in the newer games, having so many more options in terms of pokemon and their attacks/abilities still makes the new games relatively easy. What's also weird and something I didn't remember until I watched this video is that opposing trainers don't use healing items or held items. That seems really weird (don't remember if it was the case with Sword/Shield). I can imagine the run would be way harder if trainers used Full Restores to get rid of toxic.
I wouldn’t have the patience for this. Way to go JRose!
Great job Jrose this was a interesting run and keep up the amazing work
I love how gen 1 and 2 games are just so straightforward when it comes to chats with NPCs and battle. These new ones take FOREVER to do anything!
No wonder people stick to mostly pre Gen 8.
the unskippable cutscenes and talking singlehandedly kills the newer games for me. no Gamefreak, i do not need an extended 2 hour intro sequence about how important it is to love my pokemon for the millionth time!!!
Lmao
@@paulmann8570Gen 7 was really bad with it too
@@GreekGodAngus Gen 7 at least made up for it by making HMs obsolete and Ya Boi Guzma.
Anything after that simply has no character, lol.
Sees 1hr 30min.
*Time to grab some popcorn* 🍿
Jrose love the video. Always love watching your content. And I started the same challenge myself in scarlet though i also am doing it with flying types only and your vid has given some idea and strats i didnt think of.
Love the video Jrose! Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Blessed be Jrose content.. the ultimate aid for my insomnia and anxiety late at night. Love you man.
I put the solo challenge playlist on shuffle every night. V comfy.
We're with you man, keep winning ❤️
Did you try taking magnesium for better sleep? :)
Insomnia is a pretty decent ability tho
Dr. JRose curing us all…
I really enjoyed this video, Jrose!! You gotta do this all the other generations!!
Cool stuff man, thanks for the upload!
The reason animations cant be turned off in this game is theyre used to mask all the loading going on in the background due to how poorly optimized these are
It’s a thanksgiving miracle!
Thanks man!!!
The updated thumbnail is much more recognizable! Keep up these challenges, we love seeing them
Great video idea, cant wait to watch!
One of the best parts about doing a run like this in gen 9 is that if you accidentally skip learning a new move, you can immediately just re-learn it. That is a feature I actually really enjoy in gen 9 because it's so much more convenient than having to go to a specific person in a specific place and hand over specific items every single time I wanna relearn a move.
Yes. Get rewarded for beeing a noob. Dont use your brain xD. Dogshit game
Always love to see a new challange run :)
The best part of these challenges that use Skiploom is that it eventually evolves and he stops saying its name weird.
In all honesty, the only reason i've gotten motivated to play Scarlet again is because of this Man. I got Scarlet a week after release and, i just don't really enjoy it, the fact you can pick up so many different Pokemon is great, and getting to use Wigglytuff for an actual run without having to trade a bred Jigglypuff over from a differrnt game and getting Larvitar early is awesome, but, the games are kinda just tedious to me, kudos to Jrose for actually revitalizing my small interest in this Generation with his great Content! :D
Good Job JRose and AJ! :)
Thank you very much. Love your vids. You're the best.
The vast majority of S/V challenge runs out there seem to be, and every single one that I've personally seen, only the gym leaders and elite four. The other stories and the true final boss never get featured, despite myself thinking them to be the stronger parts of the game. It didn't necessarily work out super well for this particular challenge, but it made me very happy to see a challenge run that actually put that challenge to the whole game. Your patience is formidable. Excellent work.
PS. I took some supereffective psychic damage at Hassel's "Glavie Rush". I do know that pronunciations can get muddled in a game where nothing is verbally said, I'm guilty of it myself with pokemon names, particularly those that I formed preconceptions on when I was younger. But Glaive (pronounced gl-Ave) is a normal english word (It's for a medieval polearm, drawing the weapon parallel between the obvious Excalibur reference in Baxcalibur's name). I can see where the mixup occurred, but Gla-vine Rush was still a rough one to get hit by.
Rosemeister-J!
Loving the content! I had an idea, but I’m not sure if it’s possible:
Beating a Pokemon game using only Bide and using only one Pokemon. I guess you’d need a tanky Pokemon who also has great attack.
Edit: I should edit this to say you can use other non-attacking moves, but Bide can be the only attacking one you use.
I think the only part of this video I hate is the way you say “glavEIN rush” 😂but solid video as always mate, good stuff!
If anyone else wants to do this run; I hav a few suggestions that jrose didnt do, but can b a good idea.
Pick fuecoco, this does mean you will lose the first 2 nemona fights, but skeledirge has access to roar by level up, will o wisp and protect by tm, and slack off and curse by egg moves which can be given with a mirror herb, an empty move slot, and another pokemon with the move.
In levincia, an npc will trade u a haunter for a pincurchin. You should do this trade even if your just using haunter. Gengar gets perish song at level 1, whereas haunter only gets it as an egg move. Perish song is the best pacifist move you can get when paired with mean look that both haunter and genger also get.
Toxic is a move that several poison types get access to by either egg move or by level up. Once you get toxic, you can get that move on haunter, gengar, or glimora.
You are a god of patience! Congrats!
Hey bud, absolutely love your channel. Long time viewer! Thanks for putting out content from Scarlett and violet. These games are really cool! Quick question... Where the hell did you get glavine rush from? It's pronounced glaive it rhymes with rave like the dance party
Honestly this was awesome and coming up with the strats u did was great to see. I think the reason u cannot turn off battle animations in this game and LA is bcoz the battles now happen in the overworld, so they're like procedurally generated in real time, rather than pre-scripted animations in a separate battle environment / screen, that's what I think at least, I am not 100% sure. But not having a set mode just baffles me, I mean when team star sends out the car it doesn't ask u to switch, so set mode is definitely possible!
I always love the content here, helps me study! Also, this challenge has always really intrigued me.
Side note for fun: I grew up in a very Franco-Italiano family, so I always pronounce Vivillon as (Viv ee Yawn) especially cause it’s from kalos (pokemon France). Idk why I felt like sharing that, this comment is silly :0
I always pronounced it similarly to the French word “papillon”, which is French for “butterfly” and where this name comes from.
I just can't get over how bad scarlet/violet look. One of the biggest franchises in the world and this is the best they can do? Good video anyway.
21:59 wait what arcanine is fire?!
Really though, enjoying the run, great video! ❤
Could pain split have cut the starmobile fights in half?
Assuming Tera raids and stramobiles use roughly the same criteria for immunity, probably not. If curse didn’t work I doubt that would.
@@generalkindle3308 bulbapedia just mentions that they are immune to status conditions (including things like curse, attract, perish song)
Amazing video! Gen 6 would be amazing since we hardly see Gen 6 content!
Love to see the Gen 9 runs!!!
Glad to see my boy Muk getting use. Can’t wait for the solo run with him
I love these kinds of challenges!!!
I'm commenting before actually watching the video but thought I'd that since I skipped Scarlet Violet this is going to be my first time watching Scarlet Violet gameplay (outside of VGC tournaments). The thrill of seeing JRose play a modern game is just too much to resist
Wow I was just thinking "Man its been a couple of weeks" and here you are!
Glad to see it's definitely doable even if quite the grind!
Hello, Jrose11, how is it going?
Love your viedos, been waiting for this one!
Whoa, I just rewatched the Magikarp one earlier today! Very pleasant surprise!!
I did this challenge myself and made a video on it, and I find it really cool that we used different strategies!
One, I didn't use Aftermath pokemon, that's an amazing source of damage!
Two, I didn't think that Black Sludge would work on the Starmobiles when Tricked. I tried Tricking a Choice Scarf instead, and it did not lock it into a move, so I just assumed it had in-built Klutz and couldn't use items!
Three, Salazzle was one of my main mons, and not only does it have Corrosion, it also has Encore + Disable, which makes the opponent Struggle and deal good recoil damage.
Also, I did my run in level order, which made the Starmobiles way harder than they should have been xD
Everything else, I had in my run as well. Great job on the run!
I did a Status Moves Only run for Charity last year when the game released, I know its tons of fun to come up with new strats for these! I even did a No Moves Run too! (Abilities and Items only)
Your honor, I didn't attack him. I just poisoned him and shoved him into rocks and spikes over and over again until he died
the thumbnail art is so cute ^_^
love your vids
you invented so many letters to go into the word glaive
that i have to assume it's a strategy to get me to comment about it
i'd never fall for your tricks
Great job as always! I’m curious as to whether a Water Absorb Clodsire would be more helpful…
I think this run shows off Scarlet and Violet's good points (yes, it does have some) Aside from some trade evos, you can build almost anything for a run like this. For example you wouldn't be able to buy multiple rocky helmets. I kind of view SV as a sandbox.
Hey jrose, thanks for posting the video. I'm home with food poisoning and the content really make me feel better
You're taking passive damage just like the enemy pokemon!
@@nolongerapersonLmao
JRose out here making straight up feature length documentaries
"LOOKSio" took a Look-see at this challenge and had to Look the other way! 👀
That was so impressive!!!
It's pronounced bomb-bur-deer, it's a play on a military term:
Bombardier
Rank of non-commissioned officer in certain artillery regiments, equivalent to corporal
Imagine dedicating your entire life to Pokémon, steadily building your team and pouring your heart and soul into training them, and finally, becoming one of the most respected trainers in your region… only to have a middle school girl with green hair come in and beat you without even attacking
And then looking over and seeing a member of the Elite 4 is a child.
TIL they didn't lock the ace pokemon so they wouldn't be pulled out by Roar, etc. That's a neat tidbit of info. Force Geeta to lead Glimmora like she should!
Ahhh the good new pocket monsters games.. The battles last so long and are so tedious that you dont notice there is no other content
BABE WAKE UP, NEW JROSE11 UPLOAD
Just finished my Scarlet, bravo!
Hey there! Your pacifist Crystal run inspired me to do a pacifist run of the rom hack Fools Gold! In short I’m suffering! Best of luck in all you do!
Anyone else feel Jrose videos are some of the best episodes of anything out there today?
27:00 Holy shit that koala has less polygons than Croc, I didn't know that was possible 26 years later
28:04 Yea koala is polygonally comatose lmao
A great pokemon you coudlve also used was Brambleghast. Pain splint, curse, strength sap, disable, spikes, and leech seed. i know its kind of annoying to evolve but it wouldve been an amazing asset
another thing that might have worked against the Fairy type Team Star is revival blessng Pawmot, to revive the skuntank
