Mah-Dry please make a challenge with Ponyta. It deserves a challenge. Just look at it. I understand if its too cute to use it in these brutal runs but PLEASE give us a Ponyta Challenge!
WHY U ARE NOT CHEACKING TRPIOUS "HIDDEN POWER" IT MIGHT BE FIRE OR ELECTRIC. Also you should always check your pokemon "hidden power" in emerald because maybe some of your runs when you couldnt beat steven maybe you could beat him bealcause you didnt check
Sap sipper is a pretty nice ability, it sucks that literally no important battle uses grass moves besides possibly the first gym or your strong rival. He can't make use of that of course since he usually tries to replace the starter that would be hardest for him to fight (meaning cherin would use tepig and the first gym pansear)
On my way to the gym, I picked border type 12. Because I knew you guys would ask what I picked if I didn't say. Actually, go ahead and ask anyway. Border types are good for the Pokemon game experience
Since you do your fossil joke every time, i'd recommend a run with only fossil pokemon: universal randomizer one fossil, and get the other one naturally. And maybe you get the old amber in FRLG.
RSE Trapinch. I feel like that would be a pretty interesting run, since trapinch has amazing attack but garbage stats everywhere else. It might be best to do ruby or sapphire, as an emerald you have to face Juan and Wallace.
@@JesusRamirez-vs9bd They pulled a "Venonat evolves into Butterfree" trick on us once again by not naming a pokemon that has always dreamt about flying Fly-gon even though its pre evolutions are Ba-gon and Shel-gon so they took the name and gave it to someone else.

@@pokemariosun4395 I thought he bait and switched taking the fossils like he does sometimes.He'd done it ina Fire Red run, too, where looked at the Dome Fossil before taking the Helix fossil.
MDB, there is nothing I look forward to every Saturday than hearing you tell me what fossil you took, and reassuring me that I can and should still ask, just to ensure the video performs well in the TH-cam algorithm.
Something that would require some research, you could do Gen 2 with only Normal type moves. It should be possible to get past the Ghost types with Foresight, so I'd be interested to see how far you could get
Was surprised that Salamance road blocked you so effectively. Honestly it’s why I love the solo challenges, it’s fun to see what ends up being more difficult than expected.
In Fire Red, Blaine is much more competent, and iirc the moves they give him are a bit better. Now doing Red with Blaine's team? That's another story, with moves like Roar and Leer on Arcanine.
New challenge idea! Weakest Legends Challenge: Finding the lowest possible level to beat different Pokémon games with a single legendary Pokémon. Example: Weakest possible Mewtwo vs. Pokémon Silver Run would start with level 5 Mewtwo and ends with defeating Red. Skip ALL optional battles and wild encounters. Only allowed to grind if Legendary can’t pass a mandatory fight after a few attempts, such as unavoidable battles, gyms, elite four, and the fight against Red. Other rules for the run still apply: only [insert legendary] allowed in battle. No glitches/exploits. No items in battle. Adjustments can be made to the challenge to further handicap the legendary as needed, such as only allowing the first 4 moves learned by the legendary. No other moves allowed.
I actually already did this one myself since Tropius is my all-time favorite. I remember the biggest issue is the absolute sad state of your offensive coverage. Tropius basically gets a couple decent normal moves, a bunch of grass stuff, and Fly. If you run into a steel type, you immediately have a problem. I'm anticipating his run will have the biggest issues with A. Winona, B. getting past Drake and hitting Milotic hard enough that it doesn't ice beam you to next Sunday.
sunny day was the play all along, u never use weather stuff but the sun halves the damage of both ice and water moves while DOUBLING the damage of fire. same thing happens with the rain doubling the damage of water and halfing fire. Just so u know sand increases the special def of any rock pokemon while hail does pretty much nothing. i would personally love a castform only in later generations but u do u man i love ur content
I had an idea for a unique challenge, what about Pokémon platinum or black but you can only use a team of Pokémon you got from a card pack. So you open a pack of Pokémon cards and every Pokémon you can catch in the game you use and for the starter you use the weakest one.
What I like about these challenges is this, MDB asks, "Can I beat Pokemon (version) with a team of (challenge parameters)?" Often times yes he can! But there is the odd time, such as the Wobbuffet challenge, where he just can't. And I like seeing that too! Because I go into these thinking, he's got this in the bag! Thank you for our enjoyment MDB :)
@@morgankingsley8711 It’s bethesda, of course there’s a bugged daedric artifact quest. Enter the enemy “Umbra” a level 50 with mostly maxed out everything. She is the quest for one of the artifacts, or rather her sword is. It’s doable, in theory, just ridiculously difficult.
A good challenge? RSE Contest run. Not only do you have to get through most of the game anyway, but master contests are a real pain to beat since you have to think of the best moves to use in the contests vs the battles too. The challenge wouldnt have the elite 4 but with all the other complications I don't think that matters much.
I was trying this challenge myself but couldn't finish it so I don't yet know how difficult Glacia would be. My moveset before ending was Fly, Magical Leaf, Double Team and I think Body Slam.
Here's an idea for a challenge: any pokemon game, no limits on teams, but you can only use each move the exact number of times that it has PP for. So you can only use tackle 30 times total across all pokemon, Blizzard 5 times total across all pokemon, etc. The challenge is not just in beating the game, but also in having enough move uses to beat the game. (to be nice you could say that only fights that progress the game count towards move uses, so wiping on boss fights does not count towards your total as long as you reset the game after a wipe and don't gain EXP from the fight.)
What was its Hidden Power type? Also, was Pecha or Lum Berry not worth it to deal with Skarmory's Toxic? Or maybe Rest-Talk? Anyway, decent video! Thanks for uploading!
Based on the amount of damage was being done, I don’t think it would have been enough. Even if those strategies would have been enough for skarmory there is no way it would have helped for the rest of the team
@@joemasso9473 Ahhh. I had been pondering if it might be doable with say, Rest, Sleep Talk, HP Water, Growth. Good to have your perspective on the matter, too, though.
@@sagacious03 Same! The ideas you had were interesting and appreciate your creativity. However, seeing how little damage a STAB, at lv. 100, Sunny Day powered Solarbeam was doing. I think MDB was right to call it.
Meanwhile, Hoenn's 4th Gym Leader already uses Hyper Potions, on top of having a STAB- boosted 140 base power attack. The Hoenn games are just peculiar.....
I feel as one of the 'more challenging' potential vids, you should do whichever pokemon game you want, but you cannot spend money (or minimal amount) Gen 1 would be impossible because of safari zone hm. Not sure about other gens though
In yellow you don't technically need money for the safari zone. I'm pretty sure If you didn't have any money and tried to enter multiple times, it would eventually let you pass through for free. I want to say that pikasprey made a video on this
I think that and the drink to get into saffron city would be the exceptions since they’re required in Gen 1. In gen 3 someone gives you tea for the guards.
@@zjean3417 The defence is offset by learning double team a little bit after swords dance. You're completely right about the special attack but it gets decent enough physical moves that the run wouldn't be that difficult, especially in the endgame
@@MobileGamingChronicles Heard the end of the video last week but came to check anyway. It was entertaining seeing MDB do these fun challenges and keeping the algorythm up every weekend
This would be uncharted territory for most viewers. Like, how many times have some of us seen Pokemon native to Johto used in a RSE or FRLG run? Just a handful of times I suppose, I'm just surprised more Poketubers don't do this
New challenge Idea : "can you win a pokemon game only using the weakess damaging move for every type?" Non damaging move are still allowed if you find it too hard :)
Pretty weird, since Combusken can take advantage of Fire-Type weakness of Tropius while at the same time, Tropius can take advantage of Flying-Type weakness of Combusken at the same time
Dropping a comment 3 years later to say these videos have saved me from boredom at work and I really appreciate all the effort that goes into them :) Currently watching this during my 15 min smoke break
i do love the fossil gag, but i think an even funnier gag would be if you were to use the exact same clip every time. use the same helix fossil clip even when its emerald or gen 4/5
I'm happy you did Tropius. It is my favorite Pokemon. I remember when I encountered it as a kid on Route 119 and thought it was a legendary at first because it looks so majestic. Also, that route is my favorite place in my favorite game :) Too bad Tropius wasn't that good so I never leveled it until Lv. 100 haha
I discovered another video where someone did a solo Tropius in emerald too, they got very lucky (in my opinion) because they had "hidden power: fire" as an option available to them and used it to decimate any & all Skarmory's in their path from Winona onwards... maybe that could of been something worth looking into?? Good to finally see some Gen-3 love to Tropius, I typically use this banana-saur as ONE of my 3 go-to HM-mule's> flash; rock smash; strength; fly (plus it can learn cut over flash if preferred)!!
I got an idea. Full team, one life challenge. Can catch 5 Pokémon of your choice plus your starter. If someone faints they are gone and cannot be replaced.
Suggesting Pokémon Platinum with one Driftloon, 5 weaknesses, with almost all the major boss battles having something that can hit for super effective damage, but also has a decent move set and stats.
Pokemon Platinum with only one Swinub. Its weak to half the gyms and elite four and has ridiculously low base stats but a decent move pool. Ought to be interesting :p
Potential idea: Pokemon ??? but you have to oneshot every pokemon. You will probably need to wait until the first gym but in general it should be interesting with the tradeoff of building op teams and having stronger pokemon.
Next challenge is up! Pokemon Gold with only HM Moves! 🔷 th-cam.com/video/FBrn9hVfcBs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Mah-Dry-Bread-Gameplay%26Streams%21

Trapich is basically a baby Pokemon. I recommend emerald to see him suffer. Whats a trapich even going to do to a ludicolo?!
New MDB conspiracy: You recorded all the fossil gags at once and just changed the border between takes
Considering that he said he took claw but the visual says he took root, I don't doubt it. That could also be him just not thinking about it though.

For Gen 5, what about copying N's team? It could be interesting due to his always-changing teams!
That's going to have an issue with the final N fight, since the player can only get 1 of the legendary dragons and N gets the other.

Steven’s Skarmory is the run killer. That is almost always where the runs die…
To be fair, Skarmory was the literal meta back in gens 2 and 3. It can physically wall, phase, set Spikes, and then, y'know, SkarmBliss or Skarmlax
I beat Steven with a treeko so I'd say tropius is pretty doable

Did you know you can get the giga drain tm in route 123 if you talk to a girl facing a tree(if you have a grass type)? Could be useful in the future

Pokemon Platinum with only one Swinub.
Its weak to half the gyms and elite four and has ridiculously low base stats but a decent move pool. Ought to be interesting :p
Potential idea: Pokemon ??? but you have to oneshot every pokemon. You will probably need to wait until the first gym but in general it should be interesting with the tradeoff of building op teams and having stronger pokemon.
Yay fossil gag is back. That earned my comment
