12:23 “Pidgey used Hidden Power!” I thought that wasn’t allowed, or was this a clip from something else?
Oops! What happened here is that I actually started this challenge without Hidden Power banned, but quickly realized how broken and boring that was. So I re-did the first 15-ish pokemon who had Hidden Power included in their movesets, and then didn't use it from then on.
It seems like while I was gathering the clips, I accidentally used my first Pidgey run instead of the second, and then didn't realize it during my edit because I had it blurred.
It's annoying that I used that clip, but rest assured I did beat Bruno with all of those pokemon without using Hidden Power.
Sorry for any confusion, and thanks for pointing the mistake out!
Oh I guess that makes sense
@@pokephenomenal isnt there an event Magikarp that can get Hydro Pump i dunno what gen it is but that would make the Onix easier
@@ameliakyle7054It can learn it through TM in Gen 8 💀
@@ameliakyle7054 That was in Gen 5. Magikarp also has access to bounce in Gen 4 onward
In generation 3 there is a glitch where if ditto levels up when transformed, it gets its original stats back. So if you get ditto at lvl 99 and a couple exp. points away from lvl 100, you can just transform into onix, knock it out, level up and crush the rest of his team.
Glitches shouldn't be allowed, that is unfair.

It would be really cool to do this challenge at level-cap. Almost any level 100 pokemon will be able to stop any level 50. Level even factors directly into the damage formula.
Same thing I said like that’s a 50 level difference..
You absolutely should do this and please keep a spreadsheet going of it, I wanna see what Pokemon have the highest BQ overall after doing this a few times.
I'm curious to see who could beat Bruno at a more reasonable level (probably 56 to match his Machamp, or 60 to match Lance's Dragonite since that is the level cap you'll enter Lorelei's chamber with).
If he wanted to keep doing this, I could see him starting each one at level 56 and then leveling up until he can beat him.
Yeah this wasn't impressive or interesting at all when his guys are lv 100
I like this idea
@@krilcAlmost any level 100 could sweep a champion. Level 56 with max EVs and IVs would have been better.
To put Bruno's onixes into perspective, in the sequel that adds heracross and hitmontop, Chuck is a gym leader with poliwrath and primeape exclusively.
Wrong actually, Bruno does NOT have a Heracross in the Johto Elite four, He just has another Onix iirc
@@neptuniamarina4924 yeah, but he meant that jhoto adds 2 more fighting types, whilst bruno only uses 1 of those 2
To add insult to injury, Bruno's Hitmontop doesn't know any offensive fighting moves, only Detect
I think you could probably get the Magikarp win a bit easier if you gave it a choice band, instead of hoping for 2 misses from each onyx you would only need one to miss for each onyx instead.
Focus Band would be another option. Still pretty luck based - but 10% to chance to survive every hit is way better than just hoping Bruno messes up.
i thought choice band wasnt available in this gen or something
@@brodycurtis14 it is in gen 3 but I dont know where you can get it, probably Emerald battle Frontier or colloseum/xd
Or just use tackle?
@@egosumv3112 35 base power vs 200 base power
Really goes to show how smart Bruno is when he not only doesn't use all the Fighting types available, but chooses something weak to his own type. Twice
23:13 caterpie and metapod can only use tackle, but weedle and kakuna learn only poison sting
I'd imagine youngster Joey gets a better BQ😂
Well, his Rattata is not like the rest of the Rattata
you should've used a choice band instead of a silk scarf w/ magikarp. it looked like that increase in power might've been enough to make both onix a two hit KO
not only that, but it's also an OHKO with a critical hit, which, considering all the odds that should be in his favor in order to net a win, it doesn't hurt to add another potential factor for a victory
Does choice band exist in FRLG?
@@dislexyc you can get it via trading with ruby/sapphire/emerald
@@dislexyc it did, but could only be accessed post-game (or by trading with a friend who has one)
but the rules state that the pokemon can be as cracked as possible, so holding a choice band is still game
Great video!
Some other trainers that I think could be interesting for this format:
Norman: Because seeing what has the tools to exploit Slaking could be interesting
RS Steven and E Wallace: To determine who the better champion is
Clay: Infamous nuzlocke run killer
GSC/HGSS Red
Whitney: How hard is she, actually?
The rival bridge gauntlet in X and Y: How bad are they, actually?
These are great suggestions, and I'm sure we'll use some of them! Thank you!
I'm all for this, but the format would have to be either changed or stuck to extremely closely. Bruno's BQ is on Kanto pokemon and only Kanto pokemon. There's no doubt in my mind that 99% of the rest of the pokemon would be able to beat him too, but for fairness, we'd either have to retest bruno with newer pokemon or only use Kanto pokemon for everyone else (alternatively, only use pokemon introduced in that game, IE only Gen 5 pokemon against Clay, or Gen 6 pokemon against the gen 6 rivals)
I think Sidney makes for an equally good comparison, because he's also a really easy Elite 4 member.
@@pokephenomenal Also you should try to keep your pokemon at a low level, perhaps employ a level cap
You might have been able to make the Magikarp fight more consistent with the pinch berry. (Forgot the name)
Basically there are berry’s that get consumed once at 25% or less health that give you a stat boost, which could give you extra atk
Lieichi Berry
I'd love to see this done against the other elite 4 members, maybe even in the other games too! Such a neat idea.
this would have been a lot more interesting if you also tried to see just how jacked a mon has to be to beat bruno
then you could have ranked them by how much you had to juice them
Diamond/Pearl's Flint could be interesting to tackle! Just Sinnoh debut Pokemon though... 400+ would be insane.
I was thinking maybe Aaron.
Ditto could have probably done with the leppa berry glitch where you equip it at the start of a battle with 0 pp left and ditto eats it later
You should have used Double Kick with Jolteon. Both are physical, non stab, super effective against Onix and have 60 BP. But Double Kick doesn't take 2 turns and doesn't put you at risk of getting 2x damage from EQ.
That pidgey right there has hidden potential :)
Thoughts on using Brightpowder over Silk Scarf with Magikarp? More missed on the Onyx’s and potentially missed Mach Punches?
In a Gen 1 challenge run there are probably very few fully evolved Pokemon that'd have a hard time beating Bruno. Zapdos is one of the few but that's only because of Onix
Continuing this series would be awesome, I'd love to see how many Pokémon can solo Ultra Necrozma
If Bruno has the worst BQ (at least when it comes to end-game trainers) then I feel like it's natural to want to see what his opposite would be. The trainer with the best BQ. And there's one obvious choice in my mind for who that might be. Red, on top of Mount Silver in Gen 2/Gen 2 Remakes. Let's see how well Red does with this challenge.
Shocked you are under 2k subs. Awesome video, and great concept that I hope you continue with other trainers. Looking forward to more from your channel! 🎉
Wouldn't Struggle+Leftovers have been a better strategy for Magikarp? The Fighting types would be harder but you're not getting one-shot by every attack.
From the weakest boss trainer to the strongest, try this challenge with Volo
Loved the metrics, editing, and read of this Hiker “Challenge”! Got a new subscriber, all hail the algorithm~
So I have no idea if this would work in FRLG, but in Pokemon Emerald, if Ditto transforms and then levels up mid-battle, then its stats will revert back to Ditto's original stats instead of that of the Pokemon it transformed into. If this does work in FRLG, then you could theoretically enter the battle at Lv. 99 with enough EXP to level up after beating the first Onix, then try to beat the rest of the team with the superior stats of a Lv. 100 Ditto. Again, no idea if it'd even work, and even if it did, it'd probably still be a "0.5" due to relying on a glitch, but at the very least, it'd be a hilarious way to overcome that barrier.
This video is really good! It definitely deserves way more views.
Im definitely subscribing in hopes of seeing more like this!
Now that we've seen how high the BQ can go, I wanna see how low it can go. My best guess would be Cynthia, but I still can't imagine her going lower than 80% when all the Pokémon are level 100
I clicked on this and assumed it would be a vid with tens of thousands of views. Subbed too. This is the kind of higher quality content TH-cam should be pushing
Very underrated video my guy! was an interesting watch I cant wait to see what you make in the future! youve earned my sub :)
Fun fact: compared to all the other trainers in the game Burno is still one of the strongest trainers in the game, it’s not a high bar but it’s still true
i think that this should also be redone in the generation 1 games, due to the lack of steel and dark types, and bruno's hitmonchan not having mach punch
How did it go with Porygon? I didn't see him in the video but I love him.
😱 I forgot to include Porygon with the normal types!
Tbh ever since I was a kid I've always filed Porygon in with the Psychic types because at that time Pink=Psychic to me (and pretty much all of the pink gen 1 pokemon could learn psychic). Looks like I did that here too....
Porygon did well! It can learn psychic, so it wasn't really a challenge
@@pokephenomenal Gotcha, short and sweet! 😂 Tbf when I didn't see Porygon in the normal types I had to check myself to see if it was actually normal and not psychic.
this is a great video!! keep it up!! ❤❤❤
Ok. I need more of this video concept. This is amazing, and I am VERY interested in a full blown scale of the entire elite 4, or even more trainers
Hilarious video concept - would love to see it with other trainers
I came here from the followup videos. Yes please, more lol. What good stuff this is
I love the detail of the skitty and wailord showcasing attract.
Great video! I’d love to see this with level caps to his strongest Mon
That's a good idea, especially if we try this type of challenge with lower leveled trainers!
I'm still workshopping how this will go if, for example, I tried this challenge against someone like Brock. This may be a good solution
@@pokephenomenal yes it would be very interesting! You would end up having a lot more failures, but it would also require really pushing the limits of some Pokémon and using creative strategies. I subscribed! Excited to see what you do next
lol man, your content is really cool. keep going!
Hilarious! Love to see more
Really great vid! I would love to see some more BQs specifically DP elite four and champ since everyone says Cynthia is so hard
BEAUTIFUL AND POETIC Way of redempting Bruno with this BQ! Love it
I liked this video and would like to see you do it again with some other character. Tbh I think this might be your big break. Keep up the great work.
Love the concept for this video! Just wanted to mention a couple things. First of all, I noticed you have some of the normal types using Aerial Ace instead of Return. Even though it’s super effective, that only goes up to 120, while a STAB Return (w/ max friendship) is still way stronger at 151.
Second, using a Focus Band for Magikarp would have cut down your resets considerably. An extra 10% chance to live every hit would be a huge time saver.
I would love to see this challenge for other trainers/masters! Sounds great and looks marvelous. So I am up
Great Video 👍 Keep it up man
“To Bruno’s credit, he actually goes for Rock Tomb pretty often against Caterpie.” Damn. That’s rough.
Please create this series! This will be very entertaining, I'm curious to see where Lorelei ends up in the BQ scale
amazing concept! My only worry with future videos in this potential series is with trainers who have a lower general level than Bruno here, like Whitney which I saw suggested in another comment. I imagine Whitney is beatable with every pokemon if they are capped out simply because she is at level 20 with, admittedly a strong pokemon, but one who is being held back by its low level.
The only way I can really think about combating that is something like a level cap, but what would be balanced isn't something I can really know.
Maybe like, 2x the trainers ace or smthg?
I was thinking the same thing. Even here, I felt like it was a bit of a boring rule that the pokémon could be level 100. Maybe trainer's ace +10 or something would be great.
I can’t believe no one has done a challenge like this before. At least that I’ve seen.
I’d love to see this with future generations to determine what Pokémon is truly the best at destroying Bruno.
Should have given Magikarp Choice Band, and perhaps on Ditto too for being transformed.
Awesome video! Instant sub
Next video: Youngster Joey beats Bruno within an inch of his life. Bruno must now wear shorts.
Great run, great vid. Bruno ain’t (insert Pokémon cry)
this channel is CRIMINALLY underrated. Easily deserves 100k subs
Man, i really guess Bruno aunt shit. (First video from you I’ve seen - it’s actually really good! I love it! :D)
aunt shit. damn that’s a funny misspelling
I was NOT expecting King Krule to be mentioned in a Pokémon video. Space Heavy is one of my favorite albums to come out recently
Choice band should turn the 3 hit ko on onix to a 2 hit ko at least instead of silk scarf because choice band is a 50% increase vs 10% from silk scarf in gen 3. Alternatively, struggle strategies with leftover could work.
Here is an idea. Would Johto Pokémon have a better BQ against Johto Bruno?
Yeah! doing this with other trainers sounds awesome! i think red will be really tough...
Bruno isn’t an Elite 4 member, he’s a Hiker who got lost
This channel’s meme taste and visual gags are stellar. Best bit was the “you want me so bad it makes you look stupid”, that’s an obscure one lol
9:57 sleep on Prince of Egypt is punishable with fighting Bruno again.
Did you use metal powder with Ditto? The 50% boost to defense might be enough to make the fight possible, and it's a pretty commonly overlooked item.
Uh, thing is that, without Leftover, Ditto would last even less because Struggle would be dealing recoil damage (and deffense cannot decrese recoil damage). Bruno's Onix's stats are so low that the extra deffense is not enough.
"I'm not using Attract + Double Team because it's just luck based"
*proceeds to use save states*
Will save states help Ditto win? Or is there absolutely no change at all?
Did you try Magikarp with struggle? I was worried you forgot about it maybe it's horrible. But if struggle helped Caterpie and Weedle maybe it could help Magikarp..
real excited to see HGSS red make an appearance lol
Cant wait to see this attempted with the other Elite 4 members
I haven’t watched the video but bruno is so free that I’m willing to bet yes.
With Magikarp, wouldn't it have been easier to use Tackle at full HP to chip down the Onix, and then start using Flail once it had sustained a lot of damage? It'd at least be less risky than the method you used.
It would be more fair to fight with pokemon at Bruno's average level or no higher than his Machamp.
Doing these for future bosses is a great idea
you are so underrated bro!
Fighting Type Elite Four
In Kanto/Johto: 💀
In Unova: 😈
Ok tgat was funny you've earned my subscribe
At 11:11 you say "our total rises by 11" and the counter goes up by 12. This confused me for a moment, but I checked the fire Pokémon you mention and there's actually 12 of them. Just pointing out for anyone else who might have gotten confused like me :)
Anyways, great video, I'm subscribing in hopes of seeing other Bruno Quotient videos in the futue!
Thanks for pointing out the mistake! Although I wanna say that this was just a small error in the script, it could also very well be that I'm just bad enough at math that I messed up the count lol
Would be interesting to see how low level some of these pokemon could get and still beat bruno. Like would Mewtwo still win if it was say only level 25? Curious to know😊
Haven't watched the video yet but I have a feeling doing that in gen 3 makes it a lot easier than in gen 1 despite bruno being even easier in gen 1. Simply because held items are a thing. I'd add magikarp having flail over tackle but realistically the main roadblocks in either version are going to be either weedle or caterpie, magikarp is stronger than them so if they can do it magikarp can do it.
I honestly don't see the point in trying it with other pokemon beside those =p (I guess metapod and kakuna too since they aren't strictly better than their pre evolution).
In gen 1 it is possible to beat Bruno with Ditto, since his Onix has Rage, which gets stronger and stronger
"I'm fighting Bruno with level 100 Pokemon"
Every Elite 4 is going to loss with Level 100 Pokemon.
If you really wanted to find out how shitty he was, you should form a "At what level can Bruno be solo'd" strategy video.
You should do this challenge at an actually fair level. Of course level 100 pokemon are going to beat level 50 pokemon.
Bruno should be a fire type trainer now from all them burns
Even Bruno's Onix cannot beat his own team.
This could be a tiered challenge. How many pokemon succeed at his max level? How many succeed at level 100? How many need level 100 + held item? How many need level 100 + held item + save states? Etc.
Would 2 HP Magikarp + Focus Band have been slightly more likely to have gone off? Or does that impact your OHKO's against the fighting types?
I was thinking bright powder
I think it's only right to give Bruno a second chance. All 100 Gen II Pokemon vs HGSS Bruno.
Part of me would like to see how the gen 2 and 3 mons would do to bruno, though i also understand rhat is a lot more work.
Blaine would be a good one next, definitely more of this :)
I never comment, but please do more of these!
The virgin Bruno vs the chad Marshal
Bruno been real quiet since this dropped
In Gen 3 Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, flamethrower and Surf have 95 base power, not 90. So it is even stronger
Can't blame you for save state-ing that magikarp fight. I'm gonna do some quick math here. Assuming you need the onixes to miss twice each, the first onix is equally likely to pick either iron tail or rock tomb, the second onix is equally likely to pick EQ, iron tail or sand tomb, and that the Hitmonchan is 25% to pick mach punch, there's only about a one-in-3,333 chance of things going right. That's comparable to your odds of getting a straight flush in a hand of Texas Hold'em.
😲 This guy did the math.
That's cool to see, thanks!
i live for the bruno slander
Does it work in gen 3 to have level 99 ditto and have it level up to 100 while transformed and stats change back to dittos for the fight?
God, I'd love to see you try this on the bug elite 4 from gen 4
