hi smant
Got the alarm down for every day
Hi really enjoying your vids and streams cant wait for the stream tonight

Every time you throw away the rival's stolen team, they find their way back to him. It's pretty touching, honestly.
Interesting

I never thought bout that that’s sweet
Now THAT’S character development
Defeated Whitney, stole her Pokemon (especially her Miltank) and made her cry. The best feeling we could ever have.
Lol yessss that militank stolen will give everyone an advantage
Now her utter sadness makes sense.
@@moonflame77 missing the opportunity to make the “udder sadness” joke made me cry.
@@agrad12 That would have really milked it for all it was worth
Imagine you’re just vibin’ being a gym leader and this 10 year old kid steals your Pokémon you’ve been training for the longest time.
But the rematch teams...
That implies that they either have multiple teams, or they stalk you
@@coldjolteon5799 it's canon they have multiple teams from origins

I don't know about the others but I think this is a chance for morty to reconsider his strategy XD
Chuk is upset
"We might get soft-locked"
I'm already imagining a team full of magikarps that doesn't have tackle
If you can grind against wild metapods, that still works. First use the 40 splash PPs (in two rounds, as harden has less), then grind with Struggle against level 2s on route 1 or something like this.
@@luziferius3687 I remember doing this with zubat haha
It just sucks it switches right away it should switch after 6 in party xD
@@ZeldaFan940 I know right build up a team though he might still end up with one pokemon team at least once 😅
That means u still have money get struggle on the first metaphor while it struggles to death u get lower pp and u can probably start knocking out from the second. As long as u have potions u can have 1 endless grind on anything u can reliably knock out especially other higher level magikarp that still don't know tackle

when i was young i somehow beat the game and my team was like this
Beedrill - LVL 67
Quilava - LVL 16
idk how and why i beat the game with just a beedrill and spamming fury attack
Wait how- I couldn't even beat pokemon crystal when i was a kid! So i didnt play pokemon crystal anymore ._.
As Arin from game grumps would say, that because beedrill is clearly the best Pokemon
@@hamishwalker9637 all hail Buntd.
My team...looked like this:(after red)
Feraligatr-LVL 51
Houndoom-LVL 51
Victreebel-LVL 51
Scyther-LVL 51
Espeon-LVL 51
Raikou-LVL 47
I dont even know how the hell i beat red with this team,i have seen people struggling to beat red at level 65,i guess it was good type avantage.
@Monika the cycle-path Yeah your right,but for pikachu i had raikou with iron tail,and pikachu had no good moves to hit me;all he had were electric type moves.Snorlax tho,was so bad,that i had to teach my feraligatr it a dynamic punch just for him. It still was not working. Now that renember,i beated reds' snorlax by spamming espeons' sand-attack,and then baton passing to feraligatr,and spamming dynamic punch and just hoping for something like confusion luck or a critical hit.Still,feraligatr fainted,and i send out scyther,who uses slash,CRITICAL HITS,and makes snorlax faint.I really liked scyther,but that critical hit made me ADORE it. In fact,scyther was always pulling me through fights.

I think this run is a good example of the adage” there are no weak Pokémon, only weak trainers.”
I don’t think that saying should be taken seriously, considering the one who said it frequently loses to 12 year olds spamming one move.
@@MayHugger I mean, it doesn't say he's a good trainer.
I’d like to think Youngster Joey’s Rattata had perfect DVs
I think it does actually
There's a reddit post about the IVs of Joey's rattata. I think it has 0 IV and Ev for every stat but it could also be 8 (the quality is quite bad)

Rival: “Is Team Rocket back?”
Smallant: “Of course they're back. They're me.”
42:20 Hypnosis missed because as a balancing thing (make the games easier) AI trainers have a coded in 30% chance to miss status moves. Idk why they decided to add it but, heard it mentioned in other channels that also do challenge runs. Also I love this so much, can't wait for the next part.
Back then they balanced the game by giving the AI a guaranteed miss chance. Nowadays the AI would need an ignore-evasion hack to make it balanced
But it said it didn't affect Primeape, not that it missed.
@@saplingarcher7713 in gen I and II it says "but it failed" for status conditions or something, instead of "PKMN, avoided the attack."
Are u guys sure it didn't had vital spirit Ability?
@@Lock-Senpai Abilities were not in gen 2, They got introduced in gen 3!
This is such a cool concept. I played a romhack like this, but it had a fatal flaw in that while your only way of obtaining new Pokemon was taking them from others, they were still considered traded Pokemon. The amount of times an overleveled Pokemon would disobey made the hack feel tedious and too luck-based for my liking.
Which game was it and where did you get it?
When I was a kid, and I'd play pokemon gold, I used to think the trainer's name was actually ???. Because that's what he told you his name was, and in my head when they asked you his name, I didn't realize I was choosing it LOL
Literally same.
I did something similar- when you're asked to name Silver, it says "Rival's Name?". So I thought it was literally saying Rival was his name lol. Because of that, I named him Rival.
Kami I thought I was the only dumbass kid that did that
Holy shit, I also that thing you said!
Exact same thing here. I was like, his name was "???"!
That Triple Doduo strategy was probably the best thing i've ever seen
17:43 Beedrill has way more special defence than most people think (80 compared to alakazams 85), people really underestimate the bugs, but they are pretty good early game.
I mean, just in general people underestimate bug types. It's kind of justifiable in Gen 1, but by Gen 2, the bug type became remarkably powerful. Between the super defensive additions Shuckle and Forretress, along with the immensely powerful addition that is Heracross, bug types are no joke. Oh, and I guess Scizor exists too... So yeah, it doesn't make a lick of sense as to why people still shit on bug types.
I mean, jeez... if people want to shit on a type, Ghost (specifically Gen 1 & 2) and Ice (who to this day only have like... 4 notably good Pokemon) are right there.
but what move can they use? megahorn was not widely accessible at all in gen 2 and all the other bug moves are around 30 power, which is not great
@@harrisonbaguley5691 Beedrill only has 3 things going for it in gen 2, attack, special def, and twinneedle, since it's the 2nd best bug attack, and nothing gets megahorn. The special def is a buff when they split special into attack and def, and it's typing is bad. Gen 3 gives it sludge bomb, but only in postgame, so the only time I used it was in my bug type only Firered run.
I swear to God Beedrill can 1HKO almost all the psychic types. He has healing moves, status moves, stat gaining moves, Twineedle, poison, grass, and fighting moves. Nobody at all gives him the props he deserves. Just yesterday I OHKO a level 100 Alakazam with Twineedle on Pokemon Stadium R2. He can sweep entire teams if he is set up properly. And people say there are no reliable counters for psychic types. Beedrill is the best. Beedrill is love. Beedrill is life. Fuck Beedrill skeptics. Fuck everybody that thinks only megahorn is viable, nah, you're just too lazy to learn to use Twineedle.
@@sameash3153 twinneedle is only 50 power, 75 with stab. If you are actually doing something competitive, hidden power is better, and better pokes can use It. Beedrill is only good in-game early on. Poison-bug means that his special def won't help against the psychics and fires that outspeed and kill him.
Imagine if whenever you lost a battle, they stole your Pokémon, and your team then became whatever you had previously discarded.
This wouldn't really work, because your previous team was the team that beat your current team. So losing would mean you are given a winning setup everytime.

Lotta suspect things were said in this video. Like hardening before being licked lmaoo
It turns out that the AI in Gen 2 has an extra possibility to miss status moves. This is probably unaffected by Mind Reader because of some sort of programmer oversight. That's why Chuck's Poliwrath failed its Hypnosis.
"It's starting to struggle"
Me too, buddy.
Same
The only explanation I can think of as to why One keeps retaining his team is that he's following you around waiting for you to discard this team to get them back :P
This is just smallant blinding all the Pokémon in the region
smolblind new emote??
He's actually freeing the pokemon from their evil masters.
You thought it was Rocket but it was me Plasma!
This is a fantastic challenge and I love how much of an escaped science experiment you apparently are. Just casually rocking perfect reflexes, 360° perceptual awareness, omni-focus and some buff maths skills.
Clockwork Kirlia I believe spaghetti arm story but that math one kinds seemed bs
SmallAnt's character is so good. He talks shit and seems like he's the mega god. Like respectful gamer backtalk. A* acting omg
This reminds me of that eBay story in which someone started with a paperclip and eventually traded their way up to a house...

Who ever it was in chat that said "jigglypuff used toxic gameplay" thank you, you made me laugh.
42:43 *"He used Mind Reader and it missed anyway."*
In Gen 2, status effect moves against the player have a 30% (iirc) chance to not work ("it didn't affect [PKMN]") even if it didn't miss.
It's vital spirit Ability of primape why everyone so confused 😕
@@Lock-Senpai There were no abilities in gen 2, they were introduced in gen 3
I still feel that Mind Reader (and any other move just like it) should be able to get past that.

42:40 Hypnosis “missed” because when the enemy uses a status move and it hits, there’s a chance for it to just fail. (Only applies to gen 1 and 2 I think)

That Whitney battle took nearly 10 minutes, I can't imagine watching that in real time
I think this challenge plus a randomizer would be awesome. So you dont know what trainers have until you battle them
there are many things you can't see, camoflauge, john cena, that level 7 bellsprout.
I've had a pokemon use metronome against me ONCE, and since I've always hated the move. was hunting for a togepi and when I finally found one it used metronome which turned into explosion.
The title excited me. I’m still waiting on a Pokémon fan game/ real game where you play on the evil team’s side. That’d be so cool imo.
I played an incomplete fire red hack where you play as a rocket a while back, but you couldn't really do any rocket stuff like stealing pokemon.
Pokemon Fire Red:Team Rocket Edition was just completed. Look it up, it's one of the first links.
There's a side quest in Reborn that lets you join a gang.
You can steal pokemon in colosseum I suppose
Dont know if you still care 8 months later, but there IS a gen 1 hack called Team Rocket edition. Dont know how good it is though.
That Ghost gym leader battle was hilarious 😂
That gameboy during math class story was very relatable. I played Smash 4 3DS almost daily in my 11th grade history class, but since I participated during class discussions and was able to answer questions well the teacher didn't really care haha.

Hey, Smallant. Love the weird pokemon runs that you do! I have a concept that I thought would be fun, yet also strategically oriented like the runs you do.
Beat pokemon (insert pokemon game here) using only not very effective moves? Essentially, beating the game being the worst trainer possible.
No limitations on pokemon team.
No items in battle.
Opponent's HP must be lowered using an attacking move (no damaging status effects).
Attacking moves must be not very effective to opponent.
Battle on Set.
Sounds...slow.
@@yehoshuas.6917 I have a feeling that Platinum with no damage and BOTW Nuzlocke are way slower than this would be, but fair point.
There's a problem with this challenge and it's the first rival battle - even if you do it in later gens where you start with a STAB move, you battle a rival who is weak to you and you have no resisted moves against them. Otherwise, it sounds like a great idea. Maybe just ban super effective hits and allow neutral damage like normal moves?
HOP DISAGREES USE ONLY SUPER EFECTIVE MOVES
@@harrisonbaguley5691 That's a really good point. Could maybe institute the policy after the first gym, or maybe he just has to lose the first rival fight 😉. The point is to be the worst trainer possible!
SmallAnt : you dosen`t understand before you see
Me : i understand everything
It's just gonna curse.
Mean looks.
THE PLAY 😂
yeah i dont wanna see a ghastly cuss.
Used flash, and then harden and you get a good PP, so then you Pound away and make sure you don't get string shot on you.
There is something super demoralizing about entering a battle and knowing immediately you're going to lose no matter what.
Pokemon revolution is a really well designed take on a hard style pokemon mmo, check it out!
Tbh it's probably the funniest and coolest pokemon challenge I've ever seen. The only ones who could maybe rival it in terms of fun strategizing are the "status move only" and "No pokemon center" ones (but they still are rather annoying because the fights are generally really tedious).
Also, I could see the same challenge but changed a bit : Maybe you could only keep the team of the precedent gym leader/elite four... Or maybe you could always have the same team as your opponent (but if you lose, like in this video, you can keep the team to train it a bit)...
I think that could be really fun :)
One of those challenges that I feel would be amazing in just about every pokemon game.
You say that the rival is the thief? Nah. The protagonist is.
ant: I'll explain what the challenge is later, but it's probably the coolest one I've ever done
