Electabuzz VS Jynx VS Magmar - Solo Challenge - 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.
First playthrough:
- No Double Team until level 100
- 31 IVs across the board
Second Playthrough:
- All bets are off. Complete the game as fast as possible
- Max 31 IVs unless pursuing Hidden Power
- The option of a single egg move
- 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.

Sorry, but how did you start the game with 2 chickens? I don't have that option :(
It's what you start with on the Meadowlands Farm, which is new to update 1.6 (as of today, still only available on PC). You get chickens instead of the usual 15 Parsnip seeds :)
@@Eggsceptional ahhhhhhhhhh hahaha thank you! Btw I can’t stop watching your video. I think I’ve played this game over and over for like 500 hours and your video just made me start a new one from scratch. If I only knew these tricks before! Great content!!!!
Kingler deserves a 500-515 base stat spread. Give him the Ability TOUGH CLAWS to match crawdaunts adaptability
It was definitely an interesting Pokémon to play. I feel it would perform a lot better after the phys/spec split in Gen 4
@@Eggsceptional yea if Kingler has Tough Claws ability it would be a great matchup
#Uberchu
I’ve been watching this everyday for the past 2 weeks and I love sleeping to it. Great video 👌
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
LOVES TGE STAR TRIBUTE YAAAY
Even though this video is older, I still think about these Stars and the Camouflage play early on :D
congratze on 100!
Thank you :D
I accidentally fell asleep and woke up half way through but could still understand what was going on that’s how you know that this is a good video.
That's a sigh of relief for me! I been trying so hard to keep things in context, especially in the long form. Thank you :)
Walkers does do tomato ketchup flavoured crisps over here in the UK. Haven't seen them for a while, though
Oooo those sound tasty. Ketchup flavour just works!
Loved this video! I like the choice of including an egg move. Jinx def got the short stick on that but being the only one to learn Calm Mind made up for it for sure, that's prob the best setup move imo.
I love including the egg move. I find it really helps level the playing field and add diversity to the runs. Calm Mind/Bulk Up are so good in these games. Swords Dance too. Really any set up :)
Why is Jinx holding BlackGlasses for so long after you replaced Thief? Sadge.
The reason is that I didn't need another held item so there was no need to spend time removing the Blackglasses. They stuck around a long while :)
Eggsceptional, cool content my guy
Thank you :)
Eggsceptional, amazing video my guy
Thank you :)
Amazing gameplay and. Great commentary! Love you egg head ❤
Thank you :D I really need to get back to this game at some point
Sick how, to this day, this is your most viewed video. It will take me a week or two to watch i think 😂
It's pretty wild how much attention this video got. Take all the time you need! I appreciate that you enjoy it :)
Love that little flame-scarfed ... uhhh... marmot? What the heck is he? Great run!
He's a "small, bipedal mammalian Pokémon" Of course :D
Poor grass types, kanto lulling them into a false sense of security with the first two gyms, then paaaaiiiin
It really revealed how perfect Bulbasaur's Poison type fits for this region. Poor Grass Pokémon :(
Clefable is neat, even if she isnt that strong compared to the top attackers, or as bulky as the likes of Lapras and Snorlax. I started playing Fire Red a few months ago. My Clefable has Ice Beam, Psychic, Calm Mind, and Meteor Mash. It was worth the wait
Ooooh and you held out for Meteor Mash.. I've been wanting to replay Clef. Calm Mind VS Belly Drum :)
A like and an algorithm boosting comment for you
I appreciate it :)
I am the real Jhan and I only come to say that I am sorry for having abandoned this masterpiece, I really don't know how I could spend so much time asking for this and when it is achieved I forget and well anyway (day 1 of returning to the channel)
It's just a shame it isn't Palkia, eh? :)
Lost the opportunity to name "HUH????" as jesus
Darn! Hindsight remains 20/20 😅
Just a small tid-bit but the shipping bin doesn't allow you to sell all sellable items. You can't shipping bin equipment such as rings, shoes, and swords. You can only sell them to the Adventures Guild.
Good point! I kept a chest with Adventurer's Guild sellables for whenever I planned on visiting them :)
So the Quiet nature was just to give yourself more challenge since you didn't use your physical attack stat at all? Lol. This was great, and the amazing thing is, I bet it could still be improved with a -atk nature and a focus on more sp atk EVs, purposefully minimizing atk EVs as much as possible. Though, now that I think about it, I can't think of any real good ways to optimize for sp atk EVs in Kanto
Upon reflection, going with Modest probably would have been better. My runs are definitely far from perfect. I just enjoy sharing my eggsperiences in these runs ;)
@@Eggsceptional I love it! I think you've got a great style and your learning just makes the runs continue to get better and gives the series a serialized feel, even though your runs are effectively episodic runs that theoretically shouldn't have much to do with each other outside of the leaderboards at the end. Thanks for responding to all my comments. Always great when a TH-camr engages in the conversation in their comments. I really respect it. I know it's hard to do, and only gets harder as you grow
@@Chronoflation Thank you! I try my best. I really enjoy discussing my learning process and narrating my gameplay. I've never been much of one for social media, but I love the feedback that I get in the comments. Sometimes I'm.. less than prompt in my responses :P
@@Eggsceptional hahaha, I can relate to that. I deleted basically all of my social media except for TH-cam, if this even counts. Keep up the great work and I'm gonna keep watching. It's really fun
By far this is the most wholesome stardew content
Thank you :) I do LOVE this game!
Honestly, I think doubling down on Sp Atk EVs would be better than Defense. Sure, he survived that Machamp EQ, but with light ball effectively doubling the gains from your EVs, if you had a remotely significant amount of EVs left from maxing out sp atk for Pikachu, some 100 or so, then a lot of those hits into red may have turned into ranges or possibly even guaranteed KOs. I'm curious about the math on this, are you able to see it on your end?
I don't have route files or anything breaking this down, no. The problem I encounter when going hard into SpA EVs is that there are only so many available without going off the beaten path. I could get more from wild battles, or going back to say Pokemon Tower, but I feel this would have had a negative impact on completion time.
@@Eggsceptional ah, yeah, that makes sense. I wonder if there's a way to route in like 100 more sp atk EVs relatively efficiently, even if it's maybe a minute or 2 slower than the other necessary grinding you'd do anyways 🤔
@@Chronoflation Probably the most reliable place to train for SpA EVs is just outside Vermillion with the VS Seeker. There's a trainer there with 3 Magnetons (2 SpA each) that can be rebattled. As far as speed doing it? No idea :P
@@Eggsceptional oh yeah, vs seeker rebattling feels like it's be pretty slow. But maybe. You'd need to battle him like 15 times though. I guess there is no effective way that still will make you progress. Maybe not using a repel in lavender tower could get a few along the way with the Ghastlys and Haunters, but probably not enough to be worth it
You can always backport the Let's Go moves and have Pikachu Zippy Zap his enemies into submission
It should be possible! Once I get more skills 😅
@@Eggsceptional hahaha, I believe in you!!! You're way ahead of me. I want to learn to mod Pokemon games, but I have no clue what software to even use with the decompilations, much less all the solo runs you and the rest of the community do. I really need to learn about it more. I wanna make a UI like you guys that works for a full team so I can do some high quality Nuzlockes and the such
@@Chronoflation For sure! I was super lucky with my content. I didn't have the live updating overlay for the longest time, then another creator (KangaskDan) reached out and offered to help get me some upgrades :) I still don't understand 3/4 of the code
my favourite easter egg ever was this one *wink *wink *wink
Nudge nudge ;)
@@Eggsceptional :P
These are the starters in Drayano's Fire Red Omega.
Oh cool! I might have to try that one out :)
Great video as always! I love a good race :D I count 14 smash's :)
I ran out of fingers while counting :(
Great runs! Snorlax is such a chonk! And from a Hufflepuff to a Ravenclaw, I enjoyed the face stuff :D
Bahahah. Blue and bronze life :) even if the movies went more silver
Lmao. The “I’m srsly you guys”. SP ftw
Always :)
I'm so super cereal! why wont anyone take me cereal?!
@@delvintodavo9419 MBP is real!!
@@Eggsceptional “he’s half man, half bear and half pig”
32:00 Is there an ability that acts like Roar or Whirlwind? If ao the catching tutorial pokemon would ve be ehected from battle and probably crash to the game I dunno.
Hmm I'll have to look into that. I know the opposite exists, like Arena Trap. And I know that weather comes into the turorial.. herm.
Walk over the fossils. Dome and Helix are a trap. (Walkthrough walls over them for a laugh)
Hmm I'm sure there's a way of making this happen.. I could also probably remove them from the game 😁
1:55:32 accepting the fate of a ghost is cathartic.
Especially when you're forced to wait for it
TOMBSTON...y??? Oh, brother...
Brother, please. 😅
1:22:59 Gen 3 Ice Beam is stronger than Gen 3 Psychic. Also, neutral STAB on either is stronger than super effective Water Pulse. There’s no late game scenario where Water Pulse is useful on Jynx because there are no scenarios where it has a 4x advantage over Jynx’s STAB moves (e.g. vs. Aggron, Camerupt, Houndoom, or Magcargo).
You are correct! I was definitely not remembering STAB and Charizard's typing multiple times throughout these runs. Water Pulse was a dead slot on Jynx. The premiere chat really wanted Lovely Kiss in that spot. Possibly Thief. Good looking out :)
ancient fruit with dehydrators are cheaper to get going at scale, and you need 1/5 of the total space versus kegs. the tradeoff for not having to micromanage as much is less profit per in-gam day, but you just need to scythe + bulk dehydrate.
Honestly I did not mess around with Dehydrators as much as I could have. I'll keep it in mind for the next playthrough. Thanks for the tip!
every friday, if you're strapped for the battery packs, you can get an iridium sprinkler from krobus. (looks like you address this later) birthdays are worth 8x the normal gift reward. 8 weeks is half a year of gifts, or a full month of giving 2 gifts per week. a normal quality item can give like 3 hearts, iridium can give like 4. for qi's crop, you can us the treasure totems to get about 10-20 qi beans per use. So you can complete it pretty quickly, IMO, even if you don't have the perks for growth speed. you just need to get them doubling asap with the seed makers. And you need a lot of room. tropical curry can be bought from the ginger island resort for 2000 gold when gus visits.
Horseshoe (or Pokemon equivalent) should be a held item that increases the chance of secondary effects from moves 10% or something.
Ooo kind of like a held Serene Grace. That would be so powerful.
@@Eggsceptional Yeah... 10% might even be too much for certain mons. But a fun idea!
Thank you so much for making this video. It was a joy to watch the whole way through. I rarely watch videos like this with my full-attention ,but it was so easy with this one!
Thank you!! I'm glad I was able to keep it interesting enough the whole way through. That's a lot of talking ;)
Stumbled across the early days of egg... (chicken?🥴) no music and overlay that resembles DOOM from 90's... oh wait I've been here already!
Ooo I hadn't considered it being DOOM-y.. Yeah the no music was a learning curve. I think there's a comment on Politoed/Poliwrath asking what's with the 90s infomercial music 😅 Some comments just stick with me
Politoed looks just like Ojama Lime. Seriously, look it up on youtube
I did look them up. All of the Ojamas scare me 😅
@@Eggsceptional I love Rata
@@Eggsceptional there's a new episode of Ojama Lime Adventures
I need to comment this because I can't unhear it, but everytime you say "____ clocks in with a round 1 time" I think of the lyrics "when a girl walks in with .. a round thing in your face"
Now I too will struggle to not Sir Mix Alot at the end of my runs 😅
Watching Gyarados doing less dmg with hydro pump than Arcanine or Charizard I hope they made Gyarados's spe.A better.. like these 2 fire pokemon :/ to feel like he's an actual threat And I FINALLY got to know why Lance is called doctoral... 😂😂
Naaah they do even better by Gyarados once the phys/spec split comes. Waterfall is monstrous! That's just what I call R2 Lance 🙃
