You can buy those same items you win at the Battle Tower in the Goldenrod City store. It's the standard Vitamin. The Amulet Coin was introduced in Generration2 so money is longer an issue and you can easily buy those vitamins in bulk.
Those Kingdra's are tanks in Gen 2 with no true super effective weakness except for Dragon type attacks but in Gen 2 there was no threat from dragon type attacks because they were all weak anyways
Except for the move "Outrage" but all Dragon type moves were special in Gen 1, 2 and 3. Dragonite for example, had a much higher attack than special attack, making the move a little less effective.
@michaelweiskopf7771 Kingdra was dual Dragon/Water. Ice attacks weren't super effective against Kingdra. The water typing balanced ice attacks to a standard 1x attack
@@dmariots Yes i'm very much aware how it works. The trainer ai is horrible and they make bad decisions constantly. You don't need legendaries to beat the battle tower in gen 2.
Tbf Pokémon natures weren’t a thing back then, also and maybe even more importantly EV training was extremely hard to do back then so no one really did it (correctly). Even with its high stats it’s still unable to one shot quite a few Pokemon back then..

In Generation 2, you can start to use Legendary Pokemon in the Battle Tower at level 70. They were completely banned in Generation 3 as there were only 2 towers. One at level 50 and the other at level 100.
I don't know why the thumbnail came out that way. I took the screenshot on VLC player after I stopped recording and it came out blue but the actual footage doesn't show such colors.
Wasn't Mewtwo unobtainable in Crystal due to the removal of Cerulean Cave, and Ho-Oh not having Sacred Fire / Lugia not having Aeroblast when caught at lvl 60 ?
In Gen II, Mewtwo (and all legendaries from Gen I) is obtainable via Time Capsule. Ho-Oh and Lugia with their signature moves in Crystal are only possible via trade from Gold and Silver, respectively.
You can still get Sacred Fire and Aeroblast if you get the special prize from Pokémon Stadium 2, which is the ability to remember a move. However, you'd either need to play in real hardware or configure an emulator compatible with Transfer Pak, which is time consuming, you'd get the same result modifying the save file.
That applies to generation 3. In generation 2, all legendaries are legal starting at level 70. There's 10 towers in generation 2 instead of 2 that generation 3 had and none of the 10 towers are easy, unlike generation 3 where the AI is dumb for most of the time
lot of questionable decisions in the first battle hahaha why did golem use fire blast on ho-oh and why didnt you use ice beam from the start on that golem instead of psychic. I enjoyed the vid tho good job
Someone asked this question in the level 100 battle tower video. Scroll down the comments section of that video to find it. In a nutshell, yes but it still requires a lot of grinding. Hundreds, if you will. There's no shortcut to get maxed out stats. You have to grind.
There’s the simple trick known as *”The Unown Grinding”* it requires you to KO lots of Unowns in the Ruins which you can do earlier to raise your Stat Experience steadily since you only kill Unowns repeatedly without random encounters. Unowns tend to give out: HP Exp: 48 Attack Exp: 72 Defense Exp: 48 Special Attack Exp: 72 Special Defense Exp: 48 Speed Exp: 48 The maximum Stat Experience cap is 65500 for each Stats for the Pokémon you’re trying to train to maximize his/her proficiency to be battle ready and see the hard work you put into the Pokémon. I surely will tell you though that this is easier to speed up time and resources than wasting 10 minutes of dialog at the Elite Four every time you do it, *but I do highly suggest you get in contact with the Pokerus so that you can cut down your grinding to merely 5 or 6 hours which equals 1,500 or 2,100 Unowns to kill since the virus doubles your Stat Experience for example the Attack Exp will gain 96 points rather than 48 points.* Doing this requires a lot of patience but you sure will with luck might find a Shiny Unown if you keep grinding there. I hope this helps.
@@essex_120_union9This same trick can be done with Ditto and is easier with Ditto since all of Ditto's stats are even, meaning Ditto will add the same amount of Stat EXP for all stats. Using Vitamins reduces the number of battles but it's still a grind. The problem with Unown is that not all of it's stats are even so more grinding must be done to fill in the remaining gaps in the Stats. I always did this against wild Ditto as it's "less" tedious. Even Stat EXP means that it can be done without Poke R Us which is rare and not worth it because it makes it more tedious because of the added work in finding Poke R Us. You can encounter wild Ditto's at night in the Grassy area before Goldenrod City near the Day Care. Thank you for your insightful explination of the Unown trick and for helping the original poster. These comments are welcomed and highly encouraged around these parts.
Sentinel (Gaming) Hey thanks for the replies. I just have a couple more questions. I looked at the base stats of ditto and unown and while ditto has even stats of 48 across the board, Unown has 48 in most stats and 72 in others. Would it not just be better to train stat exp from unown? Ditto has only a 4-5% encounter rate while unown has a 100% encounter rate where it is found. Even though Unown’s base stats aren’t all 48 it would still be the same amount of battles to max out experience for all stats. Is there something I’m missing here or is it just better to train off of unowns? My second question is, if I have one Pokemon fighting in battle and one holding and exp. share would both earn equal stat exp? It would be great to be able to train 2 Pokemon at once.
What sucks is how weak the elite is in gen 2. It's not like gen 4 where they get stronger after you first beat them. Gen 2 probably is the longest and hardest games to get to level 100. And even tho gen 2 and gen 4 both are slow as hell in frame rate at least gen 4 compensates with stronger leagues (diamond and pearl tho are really slow too)
Very late on this, so apologies. The official handbook that I still own for generation 2 has Mewtwo's max out HP stat at 418, if the IV's are also perfect.
You can continue expirience up your pokemons.. if you for example in pokemon league and kill the most pokemons with your mew2, (or if you can kil all of them with only mew2), then if you deposit your mew2 at pc and withdraw it back, you will see its stats inncrease.
My Pokémon or the one's in the battle tower? My Pokémon have EV's through vitamins and Stat Experience training. They don't have DV's (IV's from Gen 3 onwards) because there's no way to determine or see them in Gen 2 and it requires a lot of breeding.
@@litfedeba This is Generation 2. All Stats can be maxed out here. The same applies for Gen 1. There is no 510 limit. That started in Gen 3. You are referring to EV training.

Is this fake why did kingdra not use ice beam against lugia
Because this is a CPU battle and the Kingdra's at level 100 in this battle tower don't use or have Ice Beam as a move.
