@@HashiNuke If it was in the Safari Zone, you'd catch it in a Safari Zone. In Yellow, it's in Cerulean Cave. Interesting how he didn't try catching Lickitung in Yellow. Also, it's an obvious April Fools' joke because Luigi's not a Pokémon. He's Mario's brother. Lickitung evolves into Lickilicky, and that's after Generation IV. Back in Red and Blue, Lickitung couldn't evolve. Did the original Game Boy have any gyro sensor to allow for Inkay's evolution method? If not, then that's impossible to evolve Lickitung that way.
Let's keep in mind the discrepancy that Dobbs was using a GBA to test the Luigi theory, and not an actual GB. So the test was flawed from the start, even if it's still 100% true that that particular theory is 100% false lmao
For Kadabra I assume its because Kadabra is actually not holding the everstone at all. Since its hands is already busy holding the spoon, it just "holds" it telepathically
The reason Beldum is uncatchable with the Heavy Ball in Sun and Moon is because of a glitch with the catch formula for Heavy Balls specifically. All other balls affect catch rate multiplicatively (for instance, Beldum normally has a catch rate of 3, so an Ultra Ball's double catch rate would calculate using a catch rate of 6, meanwhile a Beast Ball's ~0.1 modifier on non-UBs would calculate using ~0.3), while a Heavy Ball adjusts catch rate additively (-20 for anything under 225.5 lbs, meaning Beldum's new catch rate is -17). In all other games, should the catch rate be 0 or negative, the catch rate would be set to 1, but in Sun and Moon (not USUM) this check is missing meaning any 0 or negative number is not rounded, making catches truly impossible. The reason Beldum is used is because it's one of the few wild Pokemon in Sun and Moon who fits the criteria of having both A: being less than 225.5 lbs, and B: having a catch rate
I figured this was the case, though I originally thought that the code was less than 220lbs and more than 220 lbs, thus leaving exactly 220 lbs as a glitch case. Accidents happen. Most of the code in red and blue proves that...
You're better off just using a Masterball on a Beldum, perhaps even a quick ball at the start, maybe a few timer balls if you're reserved in using your one and only Masterball.
@@issan9795 if I dont have a master ball I normally would use a Reuniclus with Skill Swap + Magic Guard to give the Beldum the ability (Magic Guard protects user from recoil except struggle, even when passed on via Skill Swap), then I switch to my level 100 False Swiper with Thunder Wave or preferably Spore (such as Breloom) and use level balls that's if level balls are even available in the game and Beldum are low enough levels, but stuff like Pixelmon Minecraft that would be my go to strategy
It’s the opposite. There’s a trade in Snowpoint City where you’re traded a Haunter that’s holding an everstone so it doesn’t evolve into Gengar. Also Kadabra’s been around long before gen 4 so it couldn’t reference that.
@@chaossalad3243 well has it been tested with kadabra and Haunter before and after gen 4? Because this is the first time I've heard of kadabra evolving with an everstone. So maybe it was not possible before and they changed it later? I don't know.
And to think, the Everstone doesn't affect Kadabra? You can't use the Yuri Geller lawsuit as an excuse when Kadabra has been available in every game up until Scarlet and Violet.
It's funny that most of the steps for obtaining a Luigi have come true. Lickitung evolves: Check Location-based evolution: Check Turn your system upside down to evolve: Check Party slot-based evolution: Kind of (Shedinja) Evolve only if fed a Rare Candy: Kind of (if level 100 and can still evolve by level up) Ball-based evolution: Not yet (and you thought there were a lot of Eeveelutions)
Thing is, Pika are tiny little mice-like creatures. Like, actual ones. But "pikapika" is a japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle I guess? Then "chuchu" is a mouse noise.
Fun fact, Pokeball data wasn't kept until gen 3, so even if you could catch a lickitung in an ultra ball, it wouldn't matter because the game wouldn't remember which ball you caught it with.
If you got pokemon number 160 in gen 1, it would be a missingno. That's what gave it away to me from the beginning. You can catch a lickitung with an ultra ball with the safari zone glitch, though.
@@chaossalad3243 for me I use galade since I can have thunder wave, hypnosis, false swipe and heal pulse.

Unless you're doing that Safar Zone glitch that will end you up in that glitched city. Then you could encounter Lickitung while surfing on the shores of Cinnabar Island and catch it in an ultra ball there.
The fact Kadabra evolves with an everstone is crazy (I want haunter to do the same thing coz the everstone is just a rock and haunter is a ghost, would the everstone just fall off out or haunter’s hand coz it’s a ghost..)
The Kadabra thing is most likely a glitch. According to Bulbapedia, In Gen III, there was a glitch where the Everstone would not work with _any_ Pokemon that evolved by trade. So Haunter, Machoke, Graveler and Kadabra _all_ could evolve while holding an Everstone. The glitch got fixed in Generation IV, but not for Kadabra strangely enough.

Also fun fact: only in sun and moon beldum is uncatchable in a heavy ball because the heavy ball flat out gives him -20 catch rate, bringing him to -17.
The whole situation with Kadabra can be summed up to the fact that Uri Geller just wanted to ride Pokemon's hype when it suddenly started to spike back up in popularity him using the fact that he somehow in his mind looks like Kadabra to stop them from printing cards of the Pokemon after the team rocket version or Dark Kadabra card was printed way back in the day.

I remember a rumor when I was a kid that if you had a level 99 dragonair in pokemon red/blue and got it to level 100 in the battle against Lance it would evolve into yoshi
I never understood why Beldum has such an abysmal catch rate. Sure, it's a pseudo legendary, but none of the other pseudo legendaies are anywhere near that hard to catch! What gives?
See, I assumed that it was because Beldum was never meant ti be caught due to its status as a gift Pokemon in gen 3 and thus the catch rate was given to it and Gamefreak never changes catch rates… except… they have. In ORAS, Rayquaza was changed from 3 to 45, while the other legends with higher than 3 were lowered to 3. Heck even in the current gen, they made Basculin easier to catch… so Gamefreak is aware and they do change them… just Beldum was never touched.
Colosseum changed certain catch rates supposedly although I agree it never made sense for Beldum to have the lowest catchrate possible. Also it's absurd that a heavy ball lowers the catchrate of something over 200 Lbs. Half of the Apricorn Balls are almost unusable by design. Heavy Ball only makes it harder to catch most species, Moon Ball only helps catch 5 Pokemon, The Same Species Clause of Love Ball which was broken in Gen 2, the list goes on.
@@Dadadadadadada440 Actually just very recently it seems they gave them a official name since they came out with a whole merchandise line featured around them. They didn't go with the fan term like they did with the term shiny and instead chose the term powerhouse pokemon.
The heavy ball isn’t programmed incorrectly in Sun and Moon, it functions as it always has The problem, so that in every other game, if the catch rate falls to 0 or lower, it is set to 1 instead, but this was missed when programming SM (I think it was fixed in USUM)
6:49 since you were trading for Lickitung in the first place, why didn’t you trade it from yellow or Gen two games where you can catch it in the wild in an Ultra Ball? I don’t think you can say it’s disproven when you use the lickitung You’re not even sure it was caught in an ultra ball, and according to the page you looked up, it can be found and caught in an ultra ball in other games that connect to red and blue.
The Luigi one is instantly debunked, without booting the game. 3ds was the first Gameboy with a gyroscope. Earlier units would have no way to detect orientation.
I have been watching your videos and I love it so far!! Can you make a video for every eevee evolution as a different Legendary beast. Because a theory says that Entei is Flareon, Raikou is Jolteon and Suicune as Vaporeon. Thank you!! And keep up the good videos!!
There is an easy way to catch Beldum in the Sun and Moon, though. I don’t remember what method though, but it’s not entirely uncatchable. I’ve used this method to make it easier to catch and successfully caught one. Not with a Heavy Ball, though.
It's catchable as it has a catchrate of 3. (Like Mewtwo as example) Chances are you gave it a status at night and chucked dusk balls at it when it's moderately low hp.
... how the hell does the lawsuit have anything to do with Kadabra evolving with an everstone in the games? Like, what about the lawsuit made them specifically choose to have it evolve reguardless of its hold item.
That's a weird first fact to make up like that, because Pikachu really is based on/named after a pika, but they live in Asia, Europe and North America.
For info. In all games. Specialised pokeballs act has a normal pokeballs if their characteristic aren't met. For exemple on a heavy pokemon the heavy ball will have a boost but on light pokemon it will just act as a normal pokeball.
That Pay Day stuff at the end was the most interesting thing I've seen in a Pokemon game in quite a while. It reminded me of Soft-Lock Picking, good stuff.
There's an easier way to spam Payday infinitely. The key is Smeargle. Using its move, Sketch, teach the Smeargle Payday, Cosmic Power, Recover, and Recycle. Finally, give the Smeargle a Leppa Berry to hold. Leppa Berry + Recycle is a legit way to give a Pokémon infinite PP in battle without touching a PP Up or PP Max. I found this combo while playing Pokémon Y, and with the addition of a Kadabra and the move Trick, I was able to get a Ditto to Transform into my Smeargle and force the Ditto to hold a Leppa Berry. The process is pretty much self exclamatory from here, because it's basically two painters throwing nickles at each other while occasionally raising their defense, healing their HP, and having a snack between turns.
I wish that that worked with all traded pokémon because it would have a great explanation because of that. Troll who gives you a haunter with an everstone
I did something kind of similar to the Pay Day Ditto thing. It was pretty stupid. So I've been working on a Pokemon fan game for years now. It's done through RPG Maker XP, so I can easily change anything about a Pokemon. So one time just because I decided to give Shuckle an evolution (I think it was Kangaskhan) so the Eviolite item would work on it. Then I boosted the PP for Defense Curl, Growl and Iron Defense up to 99, (and one other move. I can't remember which one, but it didn't deal damage anyawy) boosted the PP for Pay Day to be 99, and beat this level 100 Shuckle with max IVs and max EVs in Defense relentlessly with a team of level 1 Meowths who knew Pay Day while also giving myself a bunch of Max Ethers and other PP restoring items. It took well over an hour to beat it. Eventually the Shuckle ran out of PP before I did and it Struggled itself to death. I thought about giving it something like Recover or Rest so I would have more chances to beat it up with coins, or give it to a trainer who has a bunch of Max Potions or Max Ethers, or giving it the Steel typing so it'd be 4x resistant to normal moves, but I just couldn't. It was the dumbest experiment I have ever done, and it left me with less than $300,000. :\ Someday I might just release a "game" that's just stupid experiments like this so others can try them for me.
About Pikachu misconception: Pika means bright/shiny in japaneese. and -chu is a cute sound generally used for cute mammals. so, a cute electric mouse that shines with electricity becomes: Pika-Chu.
6:30 you can catch it in route 44 in GS and then you can trade it back, but obviously it doesn't matter because Luigi isn't in the game code and no sprites of him exist in the RBY versions of pokemon, and as far as I am aware all pokemon games. But if you are hell bent on trying this right, that's the way to do it
I have edited the Pokemon Emerald ROM and made it possible to encounter all 386 Pokemon in the wild, including Beldum. And except for the Masterball, Beldum seems uncathcable with all other types of balls too, even safari balls.
I'm not buying that the 999999 pokedollars in a battle is possible, because there may be a payday max value or cap on how much money can actually be earned. The game may not have the space in memory to store such a large number
The $999999 from Pay Day is correct. At least that's the case in gen 1. The game uses 3 bytes to store the Pay Day money in the current battle. That is the same format used to store the player's money using 3 bytes.
Just because you can't catch a Beldum with a Heavy Ball at full HP doesn't make it an "uncatchable mon" in the same vein as the ghost Marowak that you literally can't catch. It's catchable, just not with a Heavy Ball.
Could you test if you can catch the red Gyarados from HG/SS in the post-game? -The myth involves that you need to beat him down first and only after finishing the game it would reappear in a similar spot from the same location. I have always wanted to catch him in a luxury ball but seemed impossible to how the game progression is.
I think it's also possible to find Lickitung with that one glitch to get Mew you only need to find the right trainer for it. I abused this shit so much it broke my box and I got a green level 101 Charizard named Arctuno, every Ditto that tried to transform into it became a Metapod and the cherry on top was nothing was effective against it. Good old memories.
I think you can still get max money from a single battle in scarlet and violet. First, get a meowth and only teach it payday and rest. Second, get a harvest arboliva, give it a leppa berry, and teach it rest, sunny day, and fling via tm. Give the meowth an amulet coin, lead with it and find a wild ditto. Let the ditto transform into meowth and switch to arboliva. Both pokemon know rest, harvest always restores berries in the sun and fling and leppa berry means infinite pp.
Idk if this was a thing in RBY, but if you caught the Slowbro in an Ultra Ball, the Pokemon you receive would have been caught in an Ultra as well. Either way, a silly theory
The Luigi one is so blatantly fake, like: You can't catch a Lickitung in an Ultra Ball, the Lickitung has the nickname of Marc, so Luigi would be called Marc, and neither the Gameboy nor cartridge have a way to tell that it's upside down. The third thing is what really gives it away. Waste of time both recording and watching. The rest of the tests were much more interesting because it was more ambiguous of whether they were real or not and I learned some things.
9:06 i spent nearly a day soft resetting to catch a Beldum in a Heavy Ball in USUM. Reason im working on having every Pokemon in matching balls. And Metagross WOULD be a good fit with the heavy ball due to its weight.
So I've only ever recently caught my first beldum in Pokemon Scarlet... Sword and Shield it was IMPOSSIBLE. I caught the Galarian legendary birds in about a dozen throws each .. beldum? Nope indeed impossible. Had it at 2 hp, paralyzed, and still went through over 200 ultra balls before I gave up

@@Dadadadadadada440 Actually just very recently it seems they gave them a official name since they came out with a whole merchandise line featured around them. They didn't go with the fan term like they did with the term shiny and instead chose the term powerhouse pokemon.
The heavy ball isn’t programmed incorrectly in Sun and Moon, it functions as it always has
The problem, so that in every other game, if the catch rate falls to 0 or lower, it is set to 1 instead, but this was missed when programming SM (I think it was fixed in USUM)
6:49 since you were trading for Lickitung in the first place, why didn’t you trade it from yellow or Gen two games where you can catch it in the wild in an Ultra Ball?
I don’t think you can say it’s disproven when you use the lickitung You’re not even sure it was caught in an ultra ball, and according to the page you looked up, it can be found and caught in an ultra ball in other games that connect to red and blue.
C'mon now Luigi isn't a Pokemon and especially not the n160
The Luigi one is instantly debunked, without booting the game.
3ds was the first Gameboy with a gyroscope. Earlier units would have no way to detect orientation.
the 3ds is not a gameboy
And you can't have Tilt 'N' Tumble/Warioware Twisted _and_ R/B/Y in at the same time
wow Dobbs! You are looking amazing!
He’s sexy af!
I have zero shame for using my master ball on a Beldum in my ultra sun play through I just like metagross a lot
If you see Shiny Beldum that's what Master Balls were made for.
Fun fact is I never saw any rat name Pikachu in real life
Bro you have to keep making these. I didn’t blink a eye not one time watching this😂😂😂
He’s back
I have been watching your videos and I love it so far!! Can you make a video for every eevee evolution as a different Legendary beast. Because a theory says that Entei is Flareon, Raikou is Jolteon and Suicune as Vaporeon. Thank you!! And keep up the good videos!!
There is an easy way to catch Beldum in the Sun and Moon, though. I don’t remember what method though, but it’s not entirely uncatchable. I’ve used this method to make it easier to catch and successfully caught one. Not with a Heavy Ball, though.
It's catchable as it has a catchrate of 3. (Like Mewtwo as example)
Chances are you gave it a status at night and chucked dusk balls at it when it's moderately low hp.
... how the hell does the lawsuit have anything to do with Kadabra evolving with an everstone in the games? Like, what about the lawsuit made them specifically choose to have it evolve reguardless of its hold item.
Technically obtaining a mew in gen 1 is a glitch, so it's not possible to get max cash in a single battle without glitches or hacks
That's a weird first fact to make up like that, because Pikachu really is based on/named after a pika, but they live in Asia, Europe and North America.
For info. In all games. Specialised pokeballs act has a normal pokeballs if their characteristic aren't met. For exemple on a heavy pokemon the heavy ball will have a boost but on light pokemon it will just act as a normal pokeball.
DOBS IS BACK
That Pay Day stuff at the end was the most interesting thing I've seen in a Pokemon game in quite a while. It reminded me of Soft-Lock Picking, good stuff.
There's an easier way to spam Payday infinitely. The key is Smeargle. Using its move, Sketch, teach the Smeargle Payday, Cosmic Power, Recover, and Recycle. Finally, give the Smeargle a Leppa Berry to hold. Leppa Berry + Recycle is a legit way to give a Pokémon infinite PP in battle without touching a PP Up or PP Max. I found this combo while playing Pokémon Y, and with the addition of a Kadabra and the move Trick, I was able to get a Ditto to Transform into my Smeargle and force the Ditto to hold a Leppa Berry. The process is pretty much self exclamatory from here, because it's basically two painters throwing nickles at each other while occasionally raising their defense, healing their HP, and having a snack between turns.
I wish that that worked with all traded pokémon because it would have a great explanation because of that. Troll who gives you a haunter with an everstone
i grew up watching dobbs i think it’s time we update the avatar and give him the amazing beard
I did something kind of similar to the Pay Day Ditto thing. It was pretty stupid.
So I've been working on a Pokemon fan game for years now. It's done through RPG Maker XP, so I can easily change anything about a Pokemon.
So one time just because I decided to give Shuckle an evolution (I think it was Kangaskhan) so the Eviolite item would work on it. Then I boosted the PP for Defense Curl, Growl and Iron Defense up to 99, (and one other move. I can't remember which one, but it didn't deal damage anyawy) boosted the PP for Pay Day to be 99, and beat this level 100 Shuckle with max IVs and max EVs in Defense relentlessly with a team of level 1 Meowths who knew Pay Day while also giving myself a bunch of Max Ethers and other PP restoring items.
It took well over an hour to beat it. Eventually the Shuckle ran out of PP before I did and it Struggled itself to death. I thought about giving it something like Recover or Rest so I would have more chances to beat it up with coins, or give it to a trainer who has a bunch of Max Potions or Max Ethers, or giving it the Steel typing so it'd be 4x resistant to normal moves, but I just couldn't.
It was the dumbest experiment I have ever done, and it left me with less than $300,000. :\
Someday I might just release a "game" that's just stupid experiments like this so others can try them for me.
The whole Luigi thing should have been debunked IMMEDIATELY because turning the GameBoy over won't do anything, it doesn't have a Gyro....
Magazines loved doing Mario related April Fools jokes back then. I remember the one that said you could evolve Dragonite into Yoshi.
Dobbs: Game Boy
Subtitles: *GAY BOY*
The luigi reminds me if the crazy pokemon runors back in the day. The meethree guides were insane.
Love you dobbs
Alakazam is so smart it doesnt care for your everstone
"It's a sick-looking Lickitung."
A...Sickitung?!
You could use the Mew glitch to catch a Lickitung, but I hardly doubt that counts, nor would it make evolving it possible.
Great vid. You are truly dedicated. Bravo!
Ah yes, my favorite pokemon, Boober
You mean Nintento didn't have the mind to switch their Everstone Hunter to an Everstone Kadabra in the DP remakes?
Imagine what could have happened.
About Pikachu misconception: Pika means bright/shiny in japaneese. and -chu is a cute sound generally used for cute mammals. so, a cute electric mouse that shines with electricity becomes: Pika-Chu.
6:30 you can catch it in route 44 in GS and then you can trade it back, but obviously it doesn't matter because Luigi isn't in the game code and no sprites of him exist in the RBY versions of pokemon, and as far as I am aware all pokemon games.
But if you are hell bent on trying this right, that's the way to do it
Beldum has a super duper low catch rate which combined with the heavy ball’s reduced catch rate makes it impossible to get
5:20 Persona 4 sfx I'm happy
great video!!
I have edited the Pokemon Emerald ROM and made it possible to encounter all 386 Pokemon in the wild, including Beldum. And except for the Masterball, Beldum seems uncathcable with all other types of balls too, even safari balls.
My man forgetting about GameShark? You have to make a Lickitung appear via cheats, then use the ultra ball.
It’s the only known way to get Luigi.
I'm not buying that the 999999 pokedollars in a battle is possible, because there may be a payday max value or cap on how much money can actually be earned.
The game may not have the space in memory to store such a large number
The $999999 from Pay Day is correct. At least that's the case in gen 1.
The game uses 3 bytes to store the Pay Day money in the current battle. That is the same format used to store the player's money using 3 bytes.
@@DanielCM1989 see, this is the info I need!
You have to release marc then REcatch it in an ultra ball, also you weren't shaking the Gameboy hard enough.
You looking fit dobbs dang also love the vid
Just because you can't catch a Beldum with a Heavy Ball at full HP doesn't make it an "uncatchable mon" in the same vein as the ghost Marowak that you literally can't catch. It's catchable, just not with a Heavy Ball.
Could you test if you can catch the red Gyarados from HG/SS in the post-game?
-The myth involves that you need to beat him down first and only after finishing the game it would reappear in a similar spot from the same location. I have always wanted to catch him in a luxury ball but seemed impossible to how the game progression is.
8:44 I mean, being fair, you can catch a Lickitung in a Ultra Ball in Yellow. It appears at the Cerulean Cave.
I think it's also possible to find Lickitung with that one glitch to get Mew you only need to find the right trainer for it.
I abused this shit so much it broke my box and I got a green level 101 Charizard named Arctuno, every Ditto that tried to transform into it became a Metapod and the cherry on top was nothing was effective against it. Good old memories.
Awesome video
2:44 yes, you are 100% correct. This is the reason.
the uncatchable beldum is fixed is ultra sun and ultra moon
I think you can still get max money from a single battle in scarlet and violet. First, get a meowth and only teach it payday and rest. Second, get a harvest arboliva, give it a leppa berry, and teach it rest, sunny day, and fling via tm. Give the meowth an amulet coin, lead with it and find a wild ditto. Let the ditto transform into meowth and switch to arboliva. Both pokemon know rest, harvest always restores berries in the sun and fling and leppa berry means infinite pp.
The first one is true... Because Mindy dif it. I hate Mindy
Lickitung can be caught in a Gen 2 game in Route 44 and you might be able to trade that back to Gen 1. Haven't tried this yet.
I think the heavy ball has always been broken since its creation if I recall correctly
16:02 well, one glitch because you would have to glitch in the mew haha
Uri Gellar might be getting some extra phone calls considering you just showed his number to everyone watching this.
Idk if this was a thing in RBY, but if you caught the Slowbro in an Ultra Ball, the Pokemon you receive would have been caught in an Ultra as well. Either way, a silly theory
This specific pikachu always preferred PlayStation
God I wish "F reunion" was a real move
The Luigi one is so blatantly fake, like: You can't catch a Lickitung in an Ultra Ball, the Lickitung has the nickname of Marc, so Luigi would be called Marc, and neither the Gameboy nor cartridge have a way to tell that it's upside down. The third thing is what really gives it away. Waste of time both recording and watching. The rest of the tests were much more interesting because it was more ambiguous of whether they were real or not and I learned some things.
We need a new pokemon timeline series 🙏
Fake fact from anime: Ash lifted 999 kg cosmog easily
Reality: it's clearly mentioned Cosmog was floating
Cosmoem right?
If you use the Missingno glitch, you can catch a lickitung with an ultra ball.
9:06 i spent nearly a day soft resetting to catch a Beldum in a Heavy Ball in USUM.
Reason im working on having every Pokemon in matching balls.
And Metagross WOULD be a good fit with the heavy ball due to its weight.
So I've only ever recently caught my first beldum in Pokemon Scarlet... Sword and Shield it was IMPOSSIBLE. I caught the Galarian legendary birds in about a dozen throws each .. beldum? Nope indeed impossible. Had it at 2 hp, paralyzed, and still went through over 200 ultra balls before I gave up
