7:49 Wow they sound really cool. You should shiny hunt a shadow heracross.
are you a scolopendra
I was too young to understand pokemon contests as a kid, so I never really used the berry stuff, just brute forced my way to the ribbons. Good times.
Perfect comment
Yep, good times indeed
Did it work? I thought winning was stat related.
Haha true. The only started messing with Pokeblocks when I finally got Feebas and need to evolve it.
@@nunyabiznes33 Clever gamedesign right there: if you truly want to catch them all you have to participate in the contests. 👌
Pokemon Contests should've been a path for progression like the show.
They really missed out on enhancing it throughout the years, like maybe have an actual championship around it and make the mini games more skill based
@@JBzucc missed out on enhancing is an understatement. You might as well say that it's actively made worse, either through willfully dumming it down or lack of effort because of cost saving reasons.
@@TyroRNG you are probably not far off the mark there my friend
i hope that that storyline is possible with s/v, maybe with the shy girl being your “rival”, but i doubt it’ll come to fruition
still would really like it though, when i watched the x/y anime when i was younger i’ve dreamed about being able to do that in one of the games
@@cassiopeia_mori Doesn't look like it, but perhaps in future games
It's always really surprised me how much depth there is to the whole berry system, especially as it relates to contests, when I'm willing to bet 80% or more of players don't even bother with it (which is kind of a shame really).
Thanks for all your videos man, I found you through your Ribbon videos but all your Pokemon videos are really fun and interesting!
Also the Pokémon you get from in-game trades will have a raised contest stat in one of the 5 categories. Makit the Makuhita, for example, has slightly increased toughness when you first get it.
0:08 i clicked on the video randomly and then isntatly recongized you because of the shiny scizzor
How the hell could something made entirely out of peanut butter end up trash? Peanut flavor is the flavor of the Heavens!
For some reason you just can't use the same fruit twice, it is unallowed
Your voice suites these videos very well.
Apparently, Pokémon Box can now be used to clone Pokémon from any Gen III game, though I am not sure that eReader berries transfer over.
My favorite niche on TH-cam is hidden/broken/misunderstood gen 3 and 4 content. Thank you for filling that void.
I’ve seen people print e-reader scans. Is there an upload of the berry online?
I just got my Schyther in XD and am working on its earth ribbon now. I really don't have the means to do this with these berries and 4 GBAs is there still a good chance for me to get the contest ribbons without this method?
The Berries from the Berry Master's Wife and Mt Battle blended with the 3 NPCs in Lilycove can make some very good blocks
@@SirToastyToes I'm just nervous I'll fall short in some of the contest categories. You think I'll be able to get them all regardless of maxing out?
@@Keithg488 I've done them without perfect stats before if you use high quality berries you should be fine
@@SirToastyToes thanks makes me feel better. Trying to get him him to sword and sheild fast before their last online competition ends and the final ribbon becomes unavailable
You mentioned using a japanese copy to help by using a duplication glitch. Can you trade english with japanese copies?
Also can the pokemon hold the ereader berries?
English and Japanese can trade, but e-Reader Berries can't be taken into any communication features
@@SirToastyToes does that mean you used a japanese ereader and nutpea card?
@@Jonnyrhythm I have a Japanese e reader for a Japanese Nutpea card and an English e reader for the English Nutpea card
@@SirToastyToes Oh boy. Well thank you for answering my questions. Great video btw.
So I'm trying to understand this I need 4 of the same berry to get a boost for each category and I can't use 3 different berry for the nutpea berry because it will mess up the flavor?
@@gearpaladin8329 ONLY Nutpea or Kuo Berries will work, they have to have a Feel of 5 so that the Pokeblock only takes up 1/255 of your hunger bar. The flavor is random it's the fact that you can eat 255 of them that makes this work
@@SirToastyToes ok ty I'm about to start with a double ribbon challenge with a heracross and scizor I want to work with the contest stats first
@@gearpaladin8329 If you have four GBA systems to blend with I recommend watching my other contest guide that only requires 6 blends to max out your stats
does someone have the list from 1:31?
bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Flavor#List_of_Berries_by_flavor the way Bulbapedia lists flavors has been reworked since this video came out, factoring in the 10x multiplier
why would anyone ever do this for any reason ever?
Question. So you ended up using two nutpea cards? One English on the English games and one Japanese one the Japanese games? Trying to follow. Does the language printed on the reader matter or do you have a English and Japanese Ereader also? 🫠
The e reader will only scan cards from its region, so yes I used a Japanese Nutpea card for the Japanese game and e reader and likewise for English
Man I remember back in the day my buddies and I decided to try and take Pokémon contests seriously. We gave ourselves 3 days to make a contest worthy Pokémon (I ended up breeding a ralts with Destiny Bond for a combo move). People made fun of contests but they are actually really fun if you play them with people
the ereader berries have always been unnaturally fascinating to me and it's so cool finally seeing literally anybody else acknowledge their existence
As someone who knew about em, but could never have them, I think it's really cool that they have a use.
@@excalibur493 I only played on emulators and downloaded saves from other players. Imagine how pissed I am when I tried trading these berries and realized I can't have them all.
that sableye thing at the end reminded me of the one contest I played in gen 3 where everyone had negative contest appeal by the end. It was a disaster and I'm pretty sure I won
I just realized that the rng for that must've been super unlikely, because it would've required all three cpu players to be using movesets that interfere with other contestants
He just can't stop hitting nonstop bangers. Please, as long as you have content like this that you want to make, keep doing it! I love this sort of stuff.
actually, the Pokemon found in G3 in-game trades (aside from Orre ones) has an increased Contest stat. Yes, this includes the ones from Kanto.
Also the traded Chatot in Sinnoh games starts with boost in every stat, and 0 sheen.
That's actually neat. Never knew that. ... why did they get rid of it???
Just came to look at your vids after watching the wild secret base one, and I'm honestly totally obsessed with your crazy in depth analyzes of less commonly discussed parts of the games. I'd always heard about the Enigma Berry being a filler for the E Reader stuff but didn't know anything about those berries, this video's plan kind of astounded me, lol. At first I misread it and thought we were going to somehow create a single Pokeblock containing maxed out stats in it, but the actual result was way greater than I could ever have imagined. This is like feeding your Scizor a diet made entirely of charcoal and it somehow ends up being nutritious because it absorbed nutrients off the sides of the pan. Absolutely legendary
Surprising result! I was expecting having a berry so lacking in any stats and using 4 at once would result in some form of underflow
I knew about the Berry Rarity making stronger Effects for the Pokemon Condition... The feel was something i never understood and it make sense all this time later. As a kid I was unsure why My pokemon Just didn't have enough to be come first place in the presentation round of the Contest the stats were at their limit because of the Rare Berries taking from Feel and therefore the Residual stats in other conditions just made it impossible for me to raise them any higher. My younger self with the knowledge i have attained by then was doomed before the Attempt to make the Contest pokemon even began but with my dedication back then I managed to get 5 Pokemon that were able to appear in the Museum through nothing but sheer effort alone. I am proud of that but now that i know the logic behind the Pokeblock and feel i should be able to raise a better contest Pokemon and Try going for all the Ribbons.
"please... you've done nothing but feed me peanut butter for seven hours.. i can't take any more..."
Been absolutely loving these pokemon videos.
Honestly, you can probably beat all Master Rank contests without even using Pokeblock. You can breed Destiny Bond onto a Shuppet, and level it up so it has a moveset of Curse, Spite, Destiny Bond, and any filler move. You use Curse, Spite, filler, Curse, Destiny Bond to get a ton of points. Spite and Destiny Bond both get combo boosts from Curse, so you'll end up with a base of 30 hearts, plus whatever your filler move gave.
I was able to beat each Master Rank contest with the same Shuppet with pretty poor stats in every stat except Smart and (I think) Cool, which were pretty close to max, since I didn't think one Pokemon would be able to get all of the Ribbons until I tried it.
Just watched someone go off for nearly 11 mins to talk about super hard nuts, feel accomplished.
Does the Nutpea Berry turn into an Enigma Berry in Emerald and vice versa? So, you can clone them in Emerald that way?
e Reader berries can't be brought into any communication features except Pal Park where they become Enigma Berries in Gen 4
I remember brute forcing my way to all twenty five Hoenn contest ribbons on a haunter about fifteen years ago. I used the mean look + destiny bond combo. It was surprisingly effective, even on the contest that smart moves detracted from the excitement.
Dude I’m so happy I found your channel, I’m getting my sneasel/weavile all the ribbons from 3rd gen on and your channel is the best guide I’ve ever seen
I was thinking about doing the same thing, but evolving my sneasel into sneaseler. ... I don't have Colosseum, so is that a shadow from there or XD?
Anybody else notice the unfortunate shape of the nut pea berry 😰
"4.9 INCHES"
"SUPER HARD"
I'm currently preparing to use this pokeblock method, and found that the item cloning glitch is possible in English cartridges! The set up is done the same as from im a blisy's video, and I was able to test it with the Mauville TV reporter double battle that rotates between a few routes.
For anyone like me who is using some English or non-Japanese cartridges, this will save time by not having to scan the cards every time.
Is no one gonna talk about how the nutpea berry is 4.9 inches? WHICH IS EXTREMELY ABOVE AVERAGE.
I'm a huge nerd so I made a quick Monte Carlo simulation and ran a million trials of giving a Pokémon 255 Pokéblocks, each with three randomly selected flavours at 2, just because I was curious how unlucky you'd have to be for this method to fail if all you did was make _exactly_ 255 black Pokéblocks with Nutpea berries.
There was a 0.31% failure rate, with the worst observed incomplete stat being at 232. Realistically, of course, if you were in that unlucky scenario, getting close to maxing out sheen and falling short on one or two stats, you'd stop feeding them the black Pokéblocks and throw in a couple of basic specific flavour ones to make up the deficit.
I kinda wish these ecard berries were revived in the succeeding generations. Maybe with additional effects. IIRC, 2 of these were the only berries that can cure infatuation (though I'd probably just Red Flute that).
Is there a gameshark code or someth to fill my inventory with that kind of pokeblock? (Or any pokeblock that would also result in maxing out all contest stats)
I'm running through my dad's old Ruby file, which he gamesharked the fuck out of, and he has 99x enigma berries. He only gamesharked so that me and my brother as little kids could get cool pokemon for stuff like not panicking at the dentist or getting good grades.
Just thought if you take the O out of your channel name its SirTastyToes hahahah
I appreciate you recording on an actual gamecube and presumably an HDMI adapter, but you seriously need to consider running Swiss (a custom GameCube 'OS') and GameBoyInterface (GBI; home-brew GBA emulator) instead. The GameBoy Player emulator works, but is surprisingly inferior. It has a High Fidelity mode, which with an HDMI output, makes it look identical to the original digital GBA signal (if you were to output it via HDMI with the likes of a GBA Consolizer mod. The purest and cleanest GBA video.
All you need to run Swiss is a $10 SD2SP adapter, a Micro SD Card, and a way to boot Swiss (easiest will probably be buying a cheap pre-burned boot disc). You also get features like taking screenshots mid-game and even makes dumping ROMs and backing up saves a breeze. Something tells me you already know all this and still prefer the 'official' means of emulating GBA...but I am sharing on the off chance that this is not the case.
I'm really tempted to do this, but I need three friends willing to help me. All I need is one more GBA SP and the Nutpea berry card. 🤪
Loved the pokemon contests, love the video 👍
Having heavily utilized Natural Gift in Unbound challenge runs, I kinda wonder what type and power the secret berries would get.
me omw to become the most interesting person ever by eating nothing but peanut butter
I have the nutpea berry card with the ereader but sadly only 2 Gameboy advances. What would the smoothness be?
You'd end up with 3 Feel per block, which wouldn't get you perfect stats it has to be 4 players
I appreciate the clips of May in here! Best girl
All i am missing is the e-reader, card and the Will to do this.
What happens if I transfer a Pokémon with this berry equipped to Pokémon Emerald?
You can't use communication features while a Pokemon in your party has an e-reader berry.
Hey I have questions.. what happened if you show a pokemon with Max stats to pokemon fan club chairman in slateport city? Ever since I got all my scarf he still suggest more pokeblock my question is.. what happened if you show this nutpea induced pokemon to the chairman?
The chairman doesn't have any unique dialogue for max stats
@@SirToastyToes I see.. thank you for answering. I really like your video 🎀
Do you still have the nutpea berry in someone's save? If so, can you send it to those who want to create the perfect conditions to get the ribbons in Hoenn?
@@patrickkennedy7715 You should probably just use the recipes in my other video, they're much easier :)
@@SirToastyToes which video?
@@patrickkennedy7715 th-cam.com/video/Oc3mWh5K1K4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xLkmMd67dcudsPUX
I'm a long time pokemon player and I'm going through each generation trying to get a complete pokedex. And as such I want to do everything these games can hold. Which includes Contests. My idea was a team of 5 pokemon for each contest Stat. I was searching up videos on different pokeblock combos when I found your video it's interesting to see you push the limits of berry blending. But no thank you on that. I'll stick with feeding my pokemon mono berries I can get from fire red
I don't even play Pokémon but this was extremely cool to watch anyways and really well made!
Probably doable with an Action Replay, huh.
Action Replay can make 255/255/255/255/255 blocks so yes
Hi Toasty! First I need to say I’m loving the Pokémon content. I had a question though, you said that you’re sending your scizor through all the gens. Are you using solely real hardware? And mainly can you freely send your Pokémon through all the versions or are there one way gates involved.
Sort of a related question, but which version do you like to keep your collected Pokémon? Like your shinys or other special Pokémon, do you leave them in the cartridge you collected them in? To the newest release? Or is there a specific one that’s good.
Thanks!
Yup this is all real hardware, even the e-Reader cards needed for catching Scizor!
Pokémon games tend to be a one-way trip when moving up through the generations. For example once they go to Platinum from Ruby they can't move back but they can move to Diamond, Pearl etc.
I keep my collection in Pokémon Home because there isn't any one game anymore that can store all the ~1000 species anymore. Plus I can see them on my phone :)
I love how you present your videos, I got hooked and I'm already several videos in
ITS A PEANUT!!! 😂😂😂
I'm gonna do this
This poor Scizor getting stuffed with all those Pokeblocks at once omg
(In all seriousness, this is a good video about an obscure thing in Pokemon, big ups)
Not going to say anything about the berry's sprite other than.
If you know, you know.
its 4 minutes in and I already have no idea whats going on LOL
Force feeding a Scizor thousands of nuts to win a contest
This is so cool! Sharing this with my discord
I know what I'm doing this weekend!
Math, Pokemon AND nerdy grind stuff :O I'm Staying here. Subscriber for ever!
whenever I eat that much peanut butter I break out. your scizor is one lucky bastich
Can you trade the berry to Emerald or is it one of those enigma berry things
You can't bring the berries into any communication features
I'm using an emulator, how the heck do you get the Nutpea berry?
Some emulators have a way to simulate e reader cards and link cable. You'd need to run the Nintendo e reader, simulate a link cable connection (Ruby/Sapphire on the Player 1 end), then simulate scanning the Nutpea Berry
@@SirToastyToes Flip!
I don't have the e-Reader!
At least tell me the best way to max out the Beauty stat of Marina? (My shiny female Feebas with a Modest nature, took me 5 hours to catch her!)
Oh, and what are the best moves I could give her?
@@caolanochearnaigh9804 Modest nature will help a lot, as they like Dry Pokeblocks. As for the best way you can make recipes that don't use Nutpea and get max stats, I recommend joining the Pokemon Ribbons Discord and asking in the #contest-stars channel.
As for moveset you can use Rest/Snore or Rain Dance/Hydro Pump, both are high-scoring combos
@@SirToastyToes Thanks bro, really appreciate it.
4.9 inches, Super Hard, soml
Is "feel" just a translation pun on the word "fill?"
What happens if you migrate a pokemon with the nutpea berry (as its held item), or any E-Reader berry from gen 3 to Gen 4 games?
It becomes an Enigma Berry :)
Great video! I found your channel recently because of your ribbon video and have been enjoying all of the obscure Pokemon related things. I would like to say though, you could have done some fun glitches in order to execute code within the game to have a full case of perfect Pokeblocks! Maybe something to consider in the future if you try something like this again! I've been really into RNG manipulation and ACE lately because I think it's just really neat how you can do all of these things in a vanilla game without the use of any cheat device. Cheers!
I'm usually patient but that sounds like a long time.
I can also eat an absurd amount of shitty peanutbutter blocks
Fun video 👍I was snacking on blueberries so perfect subject haha
This is commitment to the bit on another goddamn level.
Carrot berries
Super nice video - did not know anything about this!
Your videos are amazing!! Thank you so so much for these top notch videos!
why didn't you just use tower glitch for infinite nutpea
I did address this, Emerald can't get Nutpea Berries in any way
There's anyway to put Max Contest Stats in Pokemon Pearl? i wanna max a Pichu SHiny Event and transfer him for future games, but i wanna do the Ribbon Challenge too! but i don't know how to max stat it in Pearl.
Gen 4 requires 4 DS's and 4 games, and also punishes idle players meaning you would need someone on each DS to get perfect stats.
Platinum has Poffins on sale in the basement of the Veilstone Department Store that can give decent stats, and then you can max stats in ORAS because there is no limit there.
@@SirToastyToes I don't have Platinum... only Pearl... can i still get those Poffins? and can you help me, how i know how much of each those poffins i need to get enough potential for Master Ribbon in each Category?
@@dinismano1192 With only one game it's very hard to get decent stats. There is a rich boy in the Contest Hall that gives a very strong Mild Poffin, which will give a good amount but make sure you feed it last.
@@SirToastyToes how much poffins i can give to my pokemon?
@@dinismano1192 Impossible to say without knowing what berries are going in
Can’t you make the Pokémon hold the berry and trade it to emerald?
You can't enter communication features with e reader berries in your party
@@SirToastyToes aw man, that’s whack
Would anyone be able to clarify this: at the end of this process, each contest stat's value is maxed out at 255, and the sheen is maxed out at 255 as well, correct?
Yup, sheen is increased by the feel of the blocks you've eaten, while the stats are from the flavors
@@SirToastyToes Thanks so much! I actually have the nutpea berry e reader card and way too many gameboys, so I might give this a go! Great video
One question, can I use e-reader (USA region) and transfer the data to a game of another language (Spa, Ger, Fran, etc)
e-Reader cards are region locked, so you can't use them in other region games. You can't trade with the berries, either
Whats ny odds with just 2 players as i only have 2 units
This trick will not work with 2 players, the feel has to be 1
@@SirToastyToes allright whats my best option then as im trying to create a ribbion master umbreon for a freind
It would depend on your answers to these questions:
1. Do you have access to berries from Colosseum or XD Gale of Darkness (Salac, Petaya, Ganlon, Apicot)
2. Do you have access to the Liechi Berry from Mirage Island?
3. Do you have access to the Blend Master in Emerald?
@@SirToastyToes i own thouse games but havent started emerald also no on lichi berry unlucky on the island
@@Nzg41 In that case the best you can do is to go to Lilycove Contest Hall and blend with the 3 NPC blender, as it is better than just 2 Players. For your berry select the following:
4x Pomeg
4x Kelpsy
2x Qualot
2x Hondew
2x Grepa
1x Watmel
Feed the Watmel block last. This should give a spread of 150/138/119/138/115 in Coolness, Beauty, Cuteness, Cleverness and Toughness, with 1.1x to the liked flavor and 0.9x to the disliked flavor. To do any better you will need rarer berries or more GBA systems
Couldn't you use 4 Japanese games to speed up the process? And does the prefect contest stats transfer into later gens?
You could, but I don't own four Japanese games. The stats will transfer forward to all games with the contest condition
Well you mentioned the emerald cloning glitch but what's stopping you from giving a Pokemon the nutpea berry as a held item in ruby and Sapphire after scanning the card and getting it from Norman and just trading it to pokemon emerald and cloning that way instead of this ridiculous process?
You can't have e reader berries in Emerald ever, they are blocked from entering link features
@@SirToastyToes are they just not programmed into the game or could you cheat to get one? Obviously not the ideal option but just curious.
@@Binglitpawn If you cheated to get Berry 43 you would get an enigma berry, since the actual data comes from the card
Whassa dis'...
This is insane!!
just use a cheat code in a emulator and get the barries?
No

Amazing videos
This was a great video! It sounds like you may still be a little nervous behind the microphone, or maybe the self awareness is creeping in a bit. As a radio announcer of 5 years, I get that. But you should definitely keep at this because your content is very entertaining and your scripting style is so refreshing. I can't wait to see an already great content creator get even better
I don't think it's nervousness, that's just how I talk haha
nutpea
Hey could you help me? I want to try this but I want to make sure I understand everything so I don't mess up my shiny pokemon.
First of all I have a kuo berry card I'm pretty sure it's the exact same as the nutpea berry card but I just want to make sure.
When you connect with all of the gbas do you have mix with all of them or only one of them?
You said that the pokeblocks have 3 out of the 5 categories randomly. Does that mean that if I'm unlucky/not careful I could reach 254 sheen and not be at max stats?
You can replace any number of Nutpea with Kuo, they work exactly the same. In theory you could get below max stat but that's very unlikely and you'll still have extremely high stats that you can fix in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
You could probably get to 254 Sheen and then get some sort of 3-flavor block to fix the last bit if absolutely necessary
You only need to blend on one GBA, though with all Nutpea/Kuo the speed only affects how long you have to actually blend for the results will always be the same
Thank you so much for the quick reply!
Me and my flygon both appreciate it! @@SirToastyToes
