    "Why am I so under leveled?"
    I feel like it's a recurring issue in Ants runs but it always seems like he avoids trainer fights and too readily suicides his team and they don't get XP from that. But it does make him the even bigger underdog and that makes it more exciting

    • @serixskylark
      @serixskylark ปีที่แล้ว +76

      Whenever I fight trainers (usually the gym leaders) and a Pokémon I want to level dies, I always try to go for a revive while using a higher leveled Pokémon to take the hit. It’s good to try to at least keep them alive if you have xp share, because grinding wild Pokémon battles takes forever for farming xp. If Ant weren’t so lax about faints, he wouldn’t have been so underleveled for all of these gym fights and would’ve had an easier time

    I'm guessing that Spinda kept using Teeter Dance because the game still thinks you have 2 pokemon out, and so it registers it as 1 pokemon on your field that isn't confused yet.

    How about a run where you basically play as an NPC? The game randomly selects an NPC for you to control in battles. Or even better, you can only use Pokemon that a specific NPC would... like Bug Catcher... or Mountaineer

    • @trainershade1937
      @trainershade1937 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Technically no, it is not like having an NPC trainer partner that "spams healing moves at full HP". If that was the case, any opponent that uses a move like Surf on him would always deal half damage. This is a specific mechanic that was added with the implementation of Double Battles / Multi-Battles in Gen 3, though this damage reduction won't apply to moves like Earthquake (likely to make such moves a bit less desirable, as you may end up KOing your own side with a full power attack).
      This was changed in Gen 4, where any move that can hit multiple targets, regardless of if it can hit your ally or not, does 25% less damage if it targets more than one Pokemon (thus, applying to moves like Earthquake).
      Also, moves like Outrage would occasionally "do nothing", as it would target the useless partner instead of him.
      Edit: Actually, seeing as they for some reason changed Surf to not be spread. Maybe that spread comment is worth ignoring, as I imagine they did similarly with all of them.
      Edit2: Never mind. I guess they actually did make it so you have an invisible partner that just does nothing. Otherwise Magnitude and Perish Song wouldn't occasionally shatter reality.
