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
I will
Watch out for flannery and wattson
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!
i know you don’t really do gen 6 but……
pokemon y with litleo mabye ?
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
An interesting idea for a challenge would be gen 5 with only deerling. It’s about as strong as a first form starter.
Dearling is. A beeaaassttt!!!!
Yes that would be cool
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)
That’s a good idea
But all 4 feeling?
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
Underrated comment.
@@averytubestudios
Agreed.
What border type did you choose
@Mr.Cringe Yeah What?
Oops ment @Mr. Cringe ?
Here's a unique idea. Pokémon Platinum with Pokémon that have more than one head. Doduo, Dugtrio, Magneton, etc.
yeah that would be cool
You can't even catch Doduo and Dugtrio in Platinum...
@@amberknight7301 Randomizer can swap a starter.
i think Magneton is just 3 Magenmite stuck together. It doesn't techically have 3 heads.
What about diglet is that aloud?
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.
I'm surprised he hasn't done this yet
He's already done single pokemon fossil runs with Omanyte and Kabuto, hasn't with Aerodactyl though
@@dxjamesdx sounds like its time for lileep and anorith. itd get around the mossdeep problem too.
@@omegazeroINFI Would love to see that
Yes. Just yes he gotta.
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.
That sounds like it'd be fun to watch. I love Trapinch, though mostly because I find it funny that it evolves into a GROUND/Dragon type named FLYgon.
I like this idea
In that case, definitely do Emerald for the challenge.
@@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.
I simultaneously love and despise how they play with our feelings
Trapich is basically a baby Pokemon. I recommend emerald to see him suffer. Whats a trapich even going to do to a ludicolo?!
Master Ball Magikarp is peak content. I love these challenges and all the little gags if you're paying attention
This is gonna be like the gible run where one ice move is a certified KO
Talking bout EQ like return doesn’t exist
idk who yall talkin bout bc he already deleted his comment when I got here lmaoooooooooooooooooo
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.
@@pokemariosun4395 He did pick the root, he changed it after checking which was the correct one
Damn it.. I just posted this same thing and then saw your comment.
@@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.
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.
@@TokenOracle That is a good point-
@@TokenOracle He could just use the team he uses from White version. Like how he used the Venusaur team for Red version in the Rivals team video.
@@moiramoran8149 he also has 2 fossil pokemon
@@oxcare5 Right... Forget about that.
12:05 The consistent Masterkarp is always a treat to see.
Keep it up!
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
This is more of a "joke run" idea, maybe an idea for an April Fools video? But how about a Pokemon Platinum run with only one Arceus?
Hmm...too easy,maybe a mon that sounds OP but it isnt,like a Mewtwo in a gen with a lot of dark types.
@@3EyesPurpleCat Arceus is awful starting out. Seismic Toss at Level 1 and it's a drag until it learns a decent move.
@@rjante2236 Really?On what gen and what game?.
@@3EyesPurpleCat I believe it only has Seismic Toss in every game at Level 1.
@@3EyesPurpleCat So I just checked and it actually starts with Cosmic Power, Punishment and Natural Gift as well. I never knew!
I've used Tropius before. It can be surprisingly workable with the right setup.
Anyway, requesting Pokemon B2W2 with Only One Chinchou.
Chinchou is awesome! Mad respect.
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
FR with Blaine's exact team! Since he's always hilariously inept
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.
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.
MY BABY TROPIUS. god, i wish he had better moves. i love his design so much.
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
I used to watch you last year. You helped me deal with my depression. I saw u on my recommended 1 year later and im in tears. Thank you! :D
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.
This is going to be fun! How about a relicanth run?
Still haven't forgotten about Surskit/Masquerain though.
With so much water in the region i'm surprised MDB hasn't done Pokemon Sapphire with only one Slugma
Slugma balls
That sounds awful. XD
@@priestofronaldalt really?
@@choklat4606 perfaps😬😬😬😳😬😳!!11!!!11!!1!!!!
@@priestofronaldalt gulpin deez nuts
I'd love to see an absol run. I think it'd be super silly to see an entire run determined by crits.
After 2 years from my initial time asking…
He did it
He finally did it :,)
root for the root fossil, but the fans are clawing for the other. I love this games fossil gimmick.
Been having a really awful week MDB. I appreciate your constant happy uploads
Under appreciated aspect of MDBs runs. Never resetting for a better nature. What ever it is he always keeps it
MDB: Makes Fossil joke
Mirage Tower: YEEEET
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.
Cool to see someone giving Tropius some love. 🎋❤🤗🏝
12:04 That was a close one; you almost didn't catch that Magikarp
All hail the Almighty Algorith! I’m back, yet again, to ask/challenge MDB: Can you Beat Oblivion at Level One?
Before anyone can see this, I already know it’ll be buried deeper than the Root fossil I hope MDB didn’t forget to obtain.
Literally impossible. Daedric shrines all require levels, and the lowest is 2, and you HAVE to do 1. So the minimum to beat it is 2
@@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.
@@Alchys Umbra isn't a deadric artifact, the mask you can trade it for is
@@MrAlmaerith Regardless, it’s doable, in theory, at level one.
I've been looking for a Tropius run! This is just perfect! Thanks!!!
Was hyped for a sec when he almost took the claw fossil.
Great video! I’ve always loved Tropius, probably my favorite Gen 3 pokemon
Challange #14
Dare: pick the Dome Fossil once
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 :)
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.
13:55 "Like usual are attack is down the entire fight." 3 seconds later "so we get are attack back from swagger."
Ah yes, flying meganium.
Also congrats on that 400k, well deserved!
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
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.
@@joemasso9473 @Joe Masso Yeah, even if he did go Move Relearn Growth to set up 6 with Rest-Talk, it might not be enough. Thanks for the discussion.
@@sagacious03 chesto berry Rest HP Fire Sunny Day Solarbeam
Pokemon Emerald with only one luvdisc? could be fun :D
Or maybe a run where you cant use ANY items at all.. will make for some interesting situations.
It always baffled me that maxie and Archie with Pokémon in the 40s are still using super potions.
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.....
@@fabledblake3281 definitely. Lmao. With sapphire being my first ever one tho I have a deep love for them.
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.
"Ice moves really mess us up!"
*Flashback to Crasher Wake's Floatzel*
Rip spud
The fully evolved / single form pokemon with garbage moves / type etc are always my favorite single pokemon runs.
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
@David Jameson pickup is very helpful
@David Jameson sorry, when I think gen 1 I usually mean the remakes
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.
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'm surprised you never use Secret Power, it can be a random move typing, which could in turn be good or bad
I think that’s Hidden Power. Secret Power is always Normal Type, but the animation and secondary effects change based on the terrain.
Closer then I Expected for a “normally” simple fight! Oh man you through that in there perfectly lol
suggestion for next Pokémon's challenge: Gen 4 with only 1 Bidoof
He did black with a bidoof instead because he didn’t want to do platinum with it
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)!!
Would be fun to see some Pokémon doing solos outside their home region. Like Tropius in FR/LG
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
Top tip for grinding in the pass, or anywhere for that matter, get the achro bike and just hold B, you can get an encounter whilst hopping.
Week 29 ya'll! Week 29 of asking for pokemon Sapphire with only one Absol!
Swords dance strats and decent speed would make the run pretty easy
@@hajidle Absol has terrible special attack and all dark type moves are special in gen 3. So no STAB moves. Absol has pretty bad defence aswell.
@@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
Did he just use a Master Ball on a Magikarp?! My goodness, I think I just had a stroke.
Wouldn't it be about time he made use of the root fossil? Can Mah-Dry-Bread beat Pokemon Emerald with a Lileep?
dont know if youve done it before, but basically any pokemon game with ash's team could be pretty fun! love your vids, hi from sweden
We need a SWSH run with only Ditto
I think a funny idea for a run would be either delibird or glaceon in one of gen 4 games. Nice video as always keep up the good work.
No more 1 challenge a week? Damn times are changing 😔
Yeah he's doing 3 challenges a month now, taking 1 Saturday off per month.
@@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
@@mrred1255 oh yeah, comments are good for the TH-cam algorithm.
GSC Chikorita!
the lil bean can put up a fight!
tip: if you get AncientPower on him (via breeding if you can) Red's Charizard wouldn't be as scary
for a 1st form starter Chikorita has great bulk and should allow you to tank even a super effective hit quite often
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 :)
I actually really love Trpoius' design and I grew up watching land before time so it's one of my favorite pokemon
An interesting run would be any gen with just a ditto.
So wonderful to hear him say what fossil he took.
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.)
I completely forgot that it's Saturday; what a happy suprise. These videos really make my week. Thanks man
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
I thought it'd be decent, as Tropius is pretty strong in general... but some points make it less useful.
I suck at the part with the fossils, as i'm slow with my physical movements, so racing through corners is no way for me to play that part XD
I thought you'd get the Claw Fossil while saying Root Fossil, and was like "oh boy, he makes that troll, finally", but no.
I'd have tried Aerial Ace, and thought you'd do that, but i guess Skarmory is just too much, anyway.
Maybe Fly would've had a lucky try, but if not, it'd be useless, too.
Nice to see tropius getting some love! I'd like to see a series of challenges where you beat a game with the gym leaders teams, maybe in reverse order so it gets harder as you go along?
I always say that if I was a gym leader I would be grass type and have a tropius, glad to see it getting some love
Hey MDB.
If you are looking for a challenge run that involves tactics over grinding, I suggest a playthrough of Emerald with the "No Levels" mod.
It is a slight misnomer as levels are still there for evolving and learning moves, but levels are irrelevant to stats. Instead all Pokemon have their base stats, only modified by IVs and EVs. This makes all battles completely tactics based.
Pleasant surprise! Tropius is my favorite mon, I even have a Tropius tattoo! Good to see him get some love!
The name should be a reference to A Land Before Time, about that one leaf, what did they call it? A Starleaf? I dunno.
8:03 - "Oh... I guess I was trying too hard..."
-- the gym leader who didnt use the Super-Effective move against the player's pokemon...
I love tropius so I’m glad you did this one! Great work!
ditto only run in frlg or dppt would be so cool for a future solo poke run, love your videos mdb
I liked the rival team challenge. I think you should do more of those kind of challenges. Pick rival or champion and use their team.
Love the design of Tropius, even if it's not a great Pokémon. Also comments are good for the TH-cam algorithm
Shoutout to Tropius for having Dragon Hammer as an egg move,not that relevant of a comment but still,pretty nice
Congrats to 400 k subscribers. What a journey 🙏🏻
Seeing you catch that Magikarp with a master ball was physically painful. Love the channel!
Always happy to see one of these pop up in my TH-cam app. Would love to see a Bagon only run of emerald
My soul cryes every time I see a master ball to cacth a magikarp... and, years since magikarp and wobbuffet run.. I those runs that I start to watch this channel.
RSE Assist only. It evokes the idea of a Metronome only run by relying on random moves, but curbs a lot of the annoyances of such a run by allowing you to customize the moves that Assist would pull from. The idea being that you only use a single Skitty/Delcatty to actually battle, but you can fill the rest of your team out with Pokémon and moves of your choice to suit whatever situation you need
TH-cam randomly gave me a notification for this video today. Weird, but I’m not going to complain about being reminded that there’s an MDB challenge with one of my favorite “forgotten” Pokemon.
Corsola only in Gen 2 could be fun! I did Corsola only in Emerald and had a blast with it. That little spiky devil is tanky!
I'd like to see a Makuhita solo run in emerald. Name him after your favourite wrestler and go to town with references.
Could also work for Sawk and Throh when you are feeling up for a Gen 5+ run again. Then at the end refer to them as tag-team Champions.
Actually if you want to make that joke and make the psychic gym SLIGHLY less evil, maybe have a Makuhita most of the game, and pick up like a meditite, or a heracross. Or maybe pinsir and heracross if you want an easy run? Idk, I don't actually know much about wrestling, but I enjoy seeing you talk about something that you care about.
That Razor Leaf has Fire Emblem hit rates.
I very much enjoyed this fun. Good seeing Tropius used!
I think an Archen run would be cool.
You can learn safeguard or substitute. Those can prevent toxic and maybe get you past Skarmory somehow to sunny beam the rest
Pokemon Emerald, no healing Part 2, but you’re not allowed to use any Pokémon you used last time (save the Zigzags)
Oh, I'm excited. Tropius is one of my very favorite Pokemon.
Dunsparce run in gen2 is my wish. You do amazing work man, love your stuff.
Every time I watch a playthrough of Emerald, i pay close attention to the Slateport encounter with Aqua, makes me chuckle seeing ‘simps’ used in Archie’s dialogue here :)
