She is the GOAT

The thing is that the worth of some mons depends on your other encounters. In my last run Amoongus was my only grass type up until the Safari Zone. After catching Rillaboom, the shroom never came out of the box again, but it did A LOT for me in early game and I'd be glad to encounter it again.

Never played run&bun and probably never will lol but love to see how some of my fave mons rank! Love to see the bestie magnezone in A🥳

Oh she's the GOAT

>Electivire It's probably only good in Drayano's roms, imo, because of the secondary fighting type and it finally gets to use it's big Attack stat (and STAB) with something that isn't Wild Charge. And no access to Motor Drive in a bait-and-switch like R&B - uhhh, probably not good. It's design is kinda too good for it, low-key.

So my current run (on Pyre tag atm) has both an escavalier with shell armor as well as a scizor (got it as a scizor so sadly couldnt just keep it as a syther) and honestly other than outspeeding some mons that escavalier doesnt (like stakataka which is relevant for the line I am calcing right now) scizor has just been a worse version of escavalier so far, while escavalier has been one of my best mons ever since I got it in Fallarbor. So Scizor one tier over my GOAT is wild to me xD. Although tbf I would expect escavalier to be a whole lot worse without shell armor AND I am yet to cook a line that properly uses Swarm so...

2:29 You WHAT?

Vivillon is so crazy early that I started resetting when I dont get a good one (i.e Compound Eyes and enough speed to outspeed the Brawly's Kubfu). It trivializes all the early game bosses up to Roxanne. It OHKO's or 2HKO's the first Aqua Grunt's team so with little support, no deaths there. Then it forces the Whirlipede into Rollout while taking it to less than half so anything resisting Rollout can finish the match. To top it off, it makes Brawly's team look like a joke. It kills Kubfu without losing HP, has protect to trivializes Lopunny by protecting, putting it to sleep and sending it away. Switches in on Scraggy and if you spam Sleep Powder there will be a window where it is possible to slot in two Air Cutters for the kill. Same for Hitmontop. The only thing that can be scary is the Speed Boost Combusken, which for that there are plenty of switch ins. Making it deathless for as long as possible early game is amazing since early on the movepools aren't diverse and there aren't enough resources to get around everything so the player is very dependant on luck. I wasn't expecting it to be so good in this game.

Wizard101 music automatically makes this an S tier video

2 of the mon on the thumbnail have been champed

Damn it took you 300+ tries? Has anyone beat it on their first try or is flygon the furthest

That macargo kewl i had him after i banned gliscor from my runs and that thing for my run anyway was perfect for 12v12 will o wisp powergem

i think urslauna always gets guts its other abiliy is a hidden ability

have to say, couple great picks and couple bad picks... bastiodon in A is goated, zam in B is perfect etc... but my boy rampardos HAS to be at least C, he does good stuff on flan split, and u definitely overrated a few pokes like walrein and lopunny. loved the content though!

I beat radical red w. Him I forgot to use iron barbs life would have been wayyy easier 😩

Maybe consider using the pokemon locations from the online dex rather than the sheet Would help visually

Magmortar 49:12 can actually wall melmetal rival. My magmortar (move set: heat wave, slack off, will o wisp, toxic) can come in when he uses his steel attack (can't remeber the name) and willowisp. Then slack off e 2shot him with heat wave. But it was the only time i used him

This video was quite interesting

Victini very strong, cleared my Glacia on the fightless e4

Should i go for metagross or dragonite in lilycove city? I have a magnet pull pokemon so i can try to get beldum or metang. If i fish my possible encounter are carracosta or dragonite. And i don't know what pokemon should i try to get in safari zone. There is a zone where i can get carracosta/blastoise/froakie. But are there any other pokemon i should pick?

Howdy herk, here’s Squerk with another banger video! Keep it up man!

Hey nice videos! I was wondering if you'd like to do some soul link hc nuzlockes for each of our channels? My channel is Phantomxxu Gaming www.youtube.com/@phantomxxugaming/videos. My initial idea for duo content would look like Dads Bein Dudes www.youtube.com/@DadsBeingDudes/videos. Let me know :)

I'd love to see some tier lists broken down by archetype, with different entries for mons that really differ by ability. Like, it's sort of weird to ask "which is better, Togedemaru or Beedrill?" -- they just have totally different roles. I don't know exactly what the archetypes would be though. About Gengar, I had it twice and honestly it's not great. It's easy to switch in but it can't take a hit, so it's just a fast attacker -- and you're just not going to OHKO much with shadow ball or sludge bomb. Honestly I'd be tempted to leave it as a haunter because ghost+levitate is a great set of immunities. I also ran arcanine once. It has great synergy with Torterra, similar to Gyarados but baiting ground moves is nice. The problem is Hamilton gets those 31 IVs...So you have to have such a stacked Arcanine to even consider keeping it. Latias has really nice PP stall strats. It's bulky and recover and protect both have 10 PP, so you can stall out a tonne of stuff.

I have been waiting ages for a video like this to be made! I’m not a very good or very sweaty player at all, I just find run and bun to be cool and fun, but it is way too difficult for me to get anywhere. I cheated in some master balls and heart scales and stuff and I’m gonna go thru the entire game in the hopes to get better, but I had no idea what I should be prioritizing on each route. This video gives me a clear idea of what I need so I can get thru this game my own way. Thank u sm!

I'm finding myself agreeing with almost everything except, most notably Ribombee. That mon is straight S Tier, even without considering it's superior availability/"early" game compared to other top performers. Bug types somehow own in this romhack 😅 and Fairy is the single most desirable type in R&B too imo.

I’ve had a fossil Armaldo and outside of the double battle niche, it does pretty well into both tabitha fights. It’s decent early game, was kinda sad to get it from fossil but I was pleasantly surprised.

Dearest Squerk, hast thou brought into consideration the pinnacle of early game utilization bestowed upon delcatty in due part from its illustrious song and devastating rude awakening of a slap? Is thou blind to such consideration? Sir Catty, lest ye ignore, is not merely a feline friend, but disrupts and encourages his teammates through the once thought impossible to conquer pokemon league. Lest ye ignore and detest the efforts of Sir Toul of Grin and demonstrating the sheer prowess of such a Lunar loving household pet. May ye bring into reconsideration the placement of such a beloved creature, and feature it among the ranks of lesser beings such as the sometimes evil sometimes wet bear, and oh so easily frightened insect. Without these requested modifications, we have no choice but to denounce the title of “top encounter ranker” from your throne of lies.

were can you even get the regis? cant find them in the location doc

this is my first video of yours and damn you look good, holy

Loved the video bro. I have been in chat talking about wanting to give this game a shot for a while. I wanted to learn the AI and its patterns before i fully commit to a run. I have seen the document but was curious if youd ever make a video explaining it, or if you knew of one!

Great video, Squerk ! I enjoyed it so much that I hit the like button, subscribed (had to unsubscribe first, which is not very pogchamp), and now I'm posting a comment to truly highlight how much I appreciated your work !

SQUERK CONTENT WE UP BABYYYY

Is that wizard101 music I hear in the background? Instant nostalgia

The Wizard101 music is flames 🥶

watched this front to back even though i've got absolutely no intention to finish R&B lol. love to see little toge D get some love <3

I think Excadrill is somewhat overrated. Compared to the other S-tier mons, it leaves the box too rarely. Aside from the few fights in the sand, it slams a couple fairies with its head and spins sometimes

Ledian definitely c tier. Used it as a sack on lilycove rival to use tailwind and kill the back 3 pokemon for a riskless line.

iirc kindle had a cinderace in his winning run that came to like 1 fight and then died, do with this information what you will

Not getting the mega manectric mega stone right after getting surf stil baffles me.

Shoutout to the Wizard101 music in the background. Amazing video!
