Poliwrath and Gastly both managed narrow victories over their counterparts, so we'll have to see if Haunter can break the tie. I suspect it won't, to be honest.
@@DanHowsen Haunter is almost as good as Gengar and they play the exact same way. In Scott's yellow run they are only 5 mins apart. If he plays it the same it should be only about 5-10 mins slower. That being said he also did his Gengar run a long time ago so I'm sure he's improved significantly since then. Wouldn't be surprised if it ends being better.
@@DanHowsenOnly because he never bothers teaching any of his guys dream eater. Strange with how heavily he leans on sleep moves. Gen one dream eater essentially renders you unkillable its ridiculous.
@@MoonshineHyeah….kind of an unplanned side effect of the way the game is programmed. Pokemon are immune to same-type status moves. The intent being, a poison type can’t be a poisoned and an electric type can’t be paralyzed. But that doesn’t account for body slam, a normal type, also causing paralysis. As I’m thinking about it, this isn’t that hard a thing to fix, depending on how the chance of a status effect is calculated. I’m imagining a random number between 1 and 100, and then you set ranges where if it falls in a range, it triggers a check of the Pokemon type. If the Pokémon’s type does not equal the equivalent status type or if the move type does not equal the Pokémon’s type (so, electric for paralysis, for example), then the status effect is triggered. Using the OR logic here would have allowed them to run a check that relates to either move type or Pokémon type.
@@somerandomgamer8504That's called a comma splice which is incorrect. It should be a semicolon because there are two completely sensible sentences on both sides of the comma, meaning it needs to be a semicolon. But TLDR, nobody cares about grammar nazis when the actually important part is what they said, not how they said it.
21:42 For anyone who's wondering, the probability of hitting exactly twice with a 30% move out of five attempts is 30.87%. The probability of hitting at least twice with a 30% move out of five attempts is 47.178%. JRose has previously said that his empirical cut-off for, "Is it too unlikely?" is around the 25% mark, so I don't think Poliwrath's placement has been inflated by use of OHKO strats.
I totally agree with his use of Fissure against Lorelei. I'd have done the same in that situation, and it was a smart play-especially since he still had Blizzard to replace it with after he got rid of Ice Beam.
@@reillywalker195 While it may have been the best way to get through Lorelei, that he needed to fall back on a tactic that's essentially pure brute forcing feels to me like it should've put Poliwrath down a few places on the tier list. I was surprised he put it in 3rd.
@@branflakes5782 He could've used Submission, Seismic Toss, Psychic, Double-Edge, or Mega Kick, though, and Fissure only worked because he could outspeed the Pokémon he needed to use it against; had Poliwrath's mediocre speed been insufficient for Fissure, he'd have had other options. Really, I'm glad he found a way to make Fissure useful, which makes me wonder if he'll use Agility and Horn Drill with Seaking.
Scott also does way too many playthroughs to get the fastest possible time. Jrose does one playthrough of each mon, there is no comparison between the two
It's one of the best ones and has legitimate use due to STAB Submission destroying Chansey who is a roadblock for just about every Special Attacker in Gen 1.
I think once JRose finally finishes all 151 Pokémon in this list, he will be raptured and reborn as the only person to live in a real Pokémon world. 3 starters, Professor Oak, Dickface; the whole shibang
As someone who’s always loved poliwrath, it makes me extremely happy to see him do so well. He’s always overlooked and under appreciated. Is he always the best option? No. But he does find unique ways to carve out a place on teams.
That defeat of Bruno seemed Poliwrath being upset that the fighting elite four member used two Onixs when Poliwrath and his fighting type brother Primape wasn’t lol
They should have at least given Bruno a Golem instead of one of those Onix. No trainer in-game uses Golem. It would have been cool to see, given how bad Onix is.
I'm guessing it's because it was overall tankier. Even if it didn't always outspeed or if it couldn't abuse boosting moves, it could actually take a few more hits, unlike its pre-evolutions, which made up for those shortcomings.
as a kid, I thought the design of this line was so goofy and simplistic. now, I see it as totally inspired quintessential gen I greatness. it's so charming.
Poliwrath is my favorite gen 1 design and my favorite ever mon. It’s incredibly simple, not given too many human characteristics, and yet it is extremely expressive. The changes from whirl to wrath are the bare minimum for an evolution yet it feels totally different and you’d never confuse the 2 for each other
@@mojorn8837 Poliwhirl used to be one of my favorites as a kid; alongside it's line, Koffing line, Ghastly and Haunter, Magnemite line, Dugtrio, Shellder, and Krabby line. I guess I liked faces surrounded by a little bit of body.

It shouldn’t have. Jrose must have played considerably better with poliwrath than those Pokemon, which makes sense because his play improves with experience
it's a Water type with Hypnosis that starts with Body Slam and Water Gun, and can learn Ice Beam, Blizzard, and Earthquake. the stats are good enough for what it can do. movepool is huge. it's not everything, but it carries a mediocre Pokemon above Pokemon that would be great if they had the right moves at the right time. also honestly Gengar isn't THAT good until later generations. Gengar's best era was Gen IV/V, where it had Levitate and special Shadow Ball.
@@dvillines26 I agree with your points, other than that Gengar was also amazing in gen 3, though a big part of this is the fact that he was still the only ghost type with decent stats
@@ZealousPawn I kind of agree, but I also think it definitely outperformed our expectations anyway. Probably was the lower number of backtracks for heals and pivots due to the route order not working out (I think he only had to pivot once from Silph to Koga.) Little things like not forgetting the bike or Erika help ofc, but being able to tank more hits from enemy trainers where most mons you fight in this game use physical attacks probably did quite a bit to help.
"We're only 4 Levels higher than Kadabra." Kadabra : Level 38 Poliwrath: Level 44 When we get to used to the complex equations in Pokémon, seems like we forget how to do the simplest math. I'm just joking, though. Always happy to see a new Jrose11 upload!
Kingler and Tentacruel might be able to beat Poliwrath, but they both have some serious drawbacks. Kingler has higher base attack, speed, and physical defence than Poliwrath but lower special. It also gets Harden and Guillotine by level-up and Swords Dance by TM but only gets Normal and Water moves apart from Ice Beam and Blizzard. Tentacruel has very high base stats for Generation I including speed, and it gets Barrier and Swords Dance as boosting moves, but its early attacking moves are all resisted by Brock's Pokémon, and it being in the Slow level-up group as opposed to Medium Fast like Kingler or Medium Slow like Poliwrath will slow it down.
I quit the game because of the anti-player choices the company that owns it (a slot machine company) kept making, over and over. That said, it genuinely was fun, especially as a pokemon lover. It was addictive, I played it for a bit over a year (I missed 1 day), reached the 100mil milestone without a gimmick team, got Lydia, and hit a bunch of other late-game milestones I've forgotten. By itself, it's a good game, but the company has to balance making a fucktonne of money, and player wants. The levers they pull happen to select for addiction. Don't play it. *edit:* if anyone is in that situation and reads this, I substituted Raid for Monster Hunter World, and then Stardew Valley. Now I'm back to healthier habits 🙂
@@bigrigjoe5130listen. We all know it’s bad. Why not take the money of a corporation that’s willing to shell it out and target an audience that’s already privy to how cringe the product is
Poliwrath has been one of my favorite Pokémon since childhood… I remember watching my cousin play Pokémon red as a small child, and my first Pokémon game was Pokémon gold when it was first released, I think my admiration for Poliwrath comes from the amount of times Chuck kicked my head in.. anyways, been waiting for this one ever since the poliwhirl and poliwag videos ^^
5:41 The body slam wouldn't paralyse as it's a normal move being used on a normal pokémon lol side note: 6:00 Can't you put the pokémon in the PC to regain it's HP without it counting as the spawn point? Long as you have 2 pokémon it should work. Worth trying it out to see if it works.

As a video recommendation, it would be cool to see a Kadabra tier list where you show how long and which level it takes Kadabra to beat every pokemon game.
how the heck... I was sure its Fighting typing would be its undoing; not enough to doom the run but enough that Polywhirl would beat it handily. Today I Learned
I'm very excited to see this. Slower and no Amnesia, but Water Gun and Body Slam one of the best moves from the start feels like a duality of man moment. This could be one of those pokemon that benefit greatly from how much Jrose11 has played over the years.
Also the fighting secondary typing is actually really great because it ruins the AI on a few elite 4 members. Alakazam was always gonna suck, the weakness didn't really hurt that much since a lot of pokemon can't really survive 2 hits either, not to mention random crits.
Poliwrath is my favorite Pokemon, super classic design, cool typing, and his competitive moveset for the X/Y era was so cool (Rest, Sleep Talk, Scald, Brick Break/Vacuum Wave/Focus Blast) with leftovers of course.
Please tell me I am not the only one…. That watches all Jrose his videos but don’t have a clue how that tier list looks like… I always fall asleep before the end. Thank you so much Jrose 🙏🏻😆
Poliwag line was always my favorite water types from gen 1 and one of my forever favorites, glad to see my use of it validated, although I only used it cause it looks cool tbh
It’s very impressive that Poliwrath, despite having mediocre stats, no way to abuse the badge boost glitch, and the Fighting Subtype just so happens to finish a RB solo run with one of the best times because of its access to Hypnosis, having ok bulk, and getting just the right moves at the right time.
7:48 - could we get an analysis of the rankings by level-up group? It would be really interesting to see how that comes out on average. Also who's top for each group.
4:10 anyone else wasn't looking at the screen and thought "Misty is in Raid Shadow Legends? Pokemon?" looked up and thought oh, he's started the video haha the transition there was nonexistent.
I finally watched JRose live on Twitch and he is, odd. I get now why he has the time to do all these challenges, very eccentric person. And thats NOT a bad thing, hes different from anyone else Ive ever come across, and tends to have different opinions from most. He says what pisses most people off but he believes in it and backs it up. Id say theres few more unique people streaming on the planet! Some might not like him but, he's a real one.
Hitmonlee gets decent moves, but you're correct overall. If I had to guess, Game Freak was wary of making the Fighting type too strong since it's the only type super-effective against Normal.
I've been waiting for this one, he's always been one of my favorite pokemon. I accidentally did that glitch that evolves them without a waterstone on my first playthrough and couldn't figure out what the deal was so I just kept using him

I can't believe ol' froggy boy took the #3 spot. I really, really underestimated the kid! I was sure Poliwhirl would outperform its evolution.
Poliwrath is a pretty awesome pokemon. I love that It can learn ground/ice/fight moves.
The fact you actually like raid shadow legends is mind-blowing
Poliwrath is one of my favs, so glad you’re finally doing a run with him and that he did so well
Poliwrath is my favorite Pokemon, super classic design, cool typing, and his competitive moveset for the X/Y era was so cool (Rest, Sleep Talk, Scald, Brick Break/Vacuum Wave/Focus Blast) with leftovers of course.
Please tell me I am not the only one….
That watches all Jrose his videos but don’t have a clue how that tier list looks like… I always fall asleep before the end.
Thank you so much Jrose 🙏🏻😆
Same lol
I always gotta rewind the video and watch the end when i wake up
Poliwag line was always my favorite water types from gen 1 and one of my forever favorites, glad to see my use of it validated, although I only used it cause it looks cool tbh
I’ve been waiting for this day for 2 weeks, caught up on tons of episodes!
I think Kabuto, Kabutops, and Omastar videos would be awesome to see. Love the videos Jrose! Keep up the great work man!
This was the first time I was able to catch one of these runs on stream, so much fun and I couldn’t believe how well poliwrath did
It’s very impressive that Poliwrath, despite having mediocre stats, no way to abuse the badge boost glitch, and the Fighting Subtype just so happens to finish a RB solo run with one of the best times because of its access to Hypnosis, having ok bulk, and getting just the right moves at the right time.
I know that making fun of raid is the norm, but it is so unpopular I've never seen nsfw content of its characters.
That's true, man. Pretty much everything remotely good-looking gets nsfw'd at some point....
I've always loved the Poli line.
Super excited to watch this video later! Thanks for the killer upload Jrose! The next two weeks of work are gunna suck way less now.
17:15 - Giovanni Three? You mean.... Threeovanni?
Threeovani doesn't involve the difficulty that Rival Fival has.
7:48 - could we get an analysis of the rankings by level-up group? It would be really interesting to see how that comes out on average. Also who's top for each group.
I especially liked the doubleslap disrespect on rivals starter 😂
I just watched the Poliwhirl video again last night. Perfect timing!!
5:41 jrose I can’t believe you made such a rookie gen 1 mistake thinking body slam could paralyze pidgeotto
Yes!!!!!! I can’t wait untill these videos come out. polywrath was a beast!
The Fighting Frog gettin the respect it deserves! Love to see it!
Its funny how both bulbasaur and ivysaur got finnished with double slap every single time😂
Well now I wanna know how Politoed does! Backport that sucker in, it's gotta legacy to live up to!
I think you want Scott for backporting. However, Jrose does come up with whacky, fun challenges often (maybe even a collab video someday).
4:10 anyone else wasn't looking at the screen and thought "Misty is in Raid Shadow Legends? Pokemon?" looked up and thought oh, he's started the video haha the transition there was nonexistent.
Hell yeah! The one I've been waiting for.
I seriously love Poliwrath and happy to see how he fared.
So... when are you doing a RAID playthrough video?
I know it's such a small thing, but I definitely miss the starting jingle. I'm glad it stayed in for the Zapdos video.
Charizard enters the chat: don’t freeze me bro.
I'm just as glad as I am surprised to see Poliwrath do so well, he lives up to his manga counterpart
Raid sponsor in 2024 is crazy
Needs that muhney $_$
I'd take Raid over BetterHelp any day
@@ptptcenz Oooooh, facts.
Raid be throwing bread
when the fearow run drops we pop off. this was great though! im surprised wrath did so well. i really didn't expect that
I finally watched JRose live on Twitch and he is, odd. I get now why he has the time to do all these challenges, very eccentric person. And thats NOT a bad thing, hes different from anyone else Ive ever come across, and tends to have different opinions from most. He says what pisses most people off but he believes in it and backs it up. Id say theres few more unique people streaming on the planet! Some might not like him but, he's a real one.
Super excited for this! Poliwrath, Starmie, Mew, and Slowbro are my favorite Gen 1 Pokemon so now all of my favorites are done 😊
I honestly wasn't expecting Poliwrath to perform so well, but its moveset is just so good!
I dont think i have given Poliwrath a second thought in my life, crazy to see its THIS good in rby
16:07.... did Blaine just Super Potion a full health Rapidash?
Happens frequently, on all his Pokemon
you must be new here
@@deff8487 I knew Blaine's AI was notoriously bad, I just didn't realize this was a thing!
Been waiting for this one for a long time! Took a break from TH-cam though for a bit.
that first koga battle. Absolutely absurdly bad luck, and you still nearly won
"I'm hooked to the game [Raid Shadow Legends]"
... screenshot JRYT lvl ... 1
Lol, 16:40 calls out earthquake vs Alakazam. And I feel the earthquake in So Cal.
I've been looking forward to this one!
Just when i needed him, he is here thank you for uploading rn man. I was little depressed and this makes me happy
I think it surprising how well both Poliwhirl and Poliwrath did given how differently they played.
I been waiting for these underrated Pokemon runs
Too bad there aren't any real good fighting moves in gen1. You could sweep through most of Lorelei.
Hitmonlee gets decent moves, but you're correct overall. If I had to guess, Game Freak was wary of making the Fighting type too strong since it's the only type super-effective against Normal.
I wonder if it's possible to beat FireRed/LeafGreen with Igglybuff?
I need the intro, JRose! I specifically re-watch your older vids so I can hear it from tone to time, lol!
I've been waiting for this one, he's always been one of my favorite pokemon. I accidentally did that glitch that evolves them without a waterstone on my first playthrough and couldn't figure out what the deal was so I just kept using him
