To all the people saying I should have tried hidden power on Steelix:
I did, but it was "not very effective" and did a sliver. I didn't bother running around and testing exactly what type it was, since it had already failed against Steelix and that's the only Pokemon I would have wanted a good hidden power for. Plus, Hidden Power's actual Power in these early games wasn't 60. Often the power of it is much lower than that, so even when it is super effective, it's still often not strong enough to bother using
I figured it was so useless that I didn't need to bring it up in the video, but now I have loads of comments saying I forgot about hidden power, so probably should have just shown it anyway.
For the record, I do test Hidden Power every once in a while on runs when I'm really stuck, but I've only ever had it work out for me once. You have to get pretty lucky for hidden power to actually pay off, the only time I can think of it working out for us was that Plusle & Minun run
On the upside, the comments saying I forgot hidden power are good for the TH-cam Algorithm!
Now everyone's gonna not read the pinned message and just reply with stuff about hidden power
The real question is how many of them are doing it because of the joke in the video, and how many are gonna genuinely not read it before they reply?
Yeah, and in the 2nd gen the not only the type of hidden power is basically random, but also the power of the move, it can be between 30 or 70.
@@sgb6493 I once tried hidden power in a run and it was super effective but still did so little damage that I didn't end up using it
I must say, I went to the pinned comment to reply without reading it just because it was mentioned in the video
@@MahDryBread how about BD with First form pokemon or baby
On our way through, I battled Youngster Joey. I knew if I didn’t say what I did you’d all ask. Actually now that I think about it everyone ask anyway. Comments are good for the TH-cam algorithm.
Joey told me once “Remember how I told you I knew you didn’t have a Rattata? Well I lied. You stole mine. Never forget to remember your memories”
Maybe if he got rid of that yee yee ass Rattata he’s got he’d get some Lasses on his Poke Balls
Did you battle Joey?
Uhhhh he said that already
“Steelix has the highest defense of any gen 2 pokemon.”
How dare you ignore the greatest Pokémon of them all, Shuckle?
Shuckle juice
Don't fuckle with shuckle
we need to cancel mahdrybread for this grave sin.
Shuckle has good def and special def.
Steelix comment:
Shuckle: and i took that personally ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
great run bud! only thing i would suggest would be to always get hidden power, while often its not the most useful move, it could give you a hidden power type that you could of used e.g hidden power fire for the steelix :D
I was gonna say the same
^^^^ This
He used to use hidden power in his older runs. I don't know why he stopped, considering how some of these challenges are brutal without it.
@@Pusto24 Yeah, Idk why Hd stopped doing.I remember HPIce in the Plusle-Minun Duo run and HPDark in another run as well.
Of course he didn't get it before Jasmine!
I’ve got to say, I would never fault you for doing things to cut down on grinding and making your life easier lol; you provide such consistent quality that it’s honestly crazy how much you still upload. I work out to your videos, ive gotten friends to watch them, and I’ve even made friends from talking about them; Whatever makes it happen, go for it 👍
I completely agree. There is nothing wrong skipping hours of mindless grinding in a pokemon challenge. If the battles to level up very slowly were difficult, sure that's different. Or if he was doing challenges like JRose that are based off in game time. But MDB's challenges aren't like that. No one wants him to spend 10+ hours to go from level 75+ to 100 on wild pokemon. The end result is ultimately the same, and saves him so much time to continue putting out content faster and easier.
@Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! (I hope that tag actually notifies you!)
This will be an electrifying run!
By the way...
I am still suggesting Mothim leading the majestic Wormadam trio.
That would be an interesting run. And he’d be able to get all of them relatively quickly in the run too.
Wanna see a Heracross run in Diamond and Pearl .
Mothim needs no back up
Also, mothim needs to be nicked Lio
I predict the Mawile run is going to be a lot of fun. It actually has a lot going for it: Steel-type, surprisingly varied movepool, starts with non-Normal attacking moves (great for Roxanne, though Astonish will prove problematic against Normal users), excellent abilities in Hyper Cutter and Intimidate, and even has a cool design. There's a reason it's my favorite Pokémon. Sure, its stats aren't great and it gets no STAB moves in Gen 3, but you've done well with worse, so that may not necessarily mean much.
only name i can think of for that wold be its Japanese name (kucheat)
Man does it just feel bad to play a mon that doesn’t get STAB
Technically it has access to hidden power steel, but good luck with that lol
@@griifster99 Steel type typically isn't very useful offensively until Gen 6 anyway.
Another thing that Mawile has going for it: it is just so adorable.
@@blue_boo3171 I did mention the design. I've always had a soft spot for characters that are both cute and awesome at the same time.
Just for clarification, only Lance’s two weaker Dragonites have Thunder Wave. The Level 50 ace has Fire Blast, Safeguard, Outrage, and Hyper Beam.
"That went shockingly well!"
I see what you did there.
Hey Kevin. How's it goin?
Next time you expect to need to use physical attacks in a Gen 2 run, you may want to consider resetting until your pokemon is male (unless the pokemon is always female). Because the pokemon's gender is based on the attack DV, and the lower DVs are assigned to female pokemon, a pokemon with a 50:50 ratio like Mareep is guaranteed to have an attack DV less than 8.
I think he doesn’t reset for good Pokémon during challenges
That was such a weird and frustrating way of doing it
they literally added pokemon gender advantages, you can't make this up
That's sexist. *_(ding!)_*
Something seems so funny to me of a guy kicking down the door to a gym that's just the leader and throwing his sheep up against a literal steel snake screaming 'ROUND 30! LET'S DO THIS!'
Fan art of this would be epic!
As well as the thought of "Our league challenge, designed to be a challenge for budding trainers using strong, well-rounded teams of Pokemon... is defeated by one weird guy and his Mareep/Hoppip/Ratatta/Shuckle/Audino/Chingling/whatever the madlad is using. Well, that's an embarrassment." Doubly so for trainers like Koga or Clair who invest a lot in being seen as powerful trainers.
I am so happy. I thought the emerald would be the best I would get.
But Mah-Dry-Bread, you sir, thank you for taking my suggestion. Looking forward to an awesome video!
An excellent suggestion! Congrats! ^^
If you listened to his outro last vid, you know this is going to be brutal.
If I missed you mentioning it, sry in advance. Did you check Mareeps hidden Power? Since Steelix has plenty of weaknesses to take advantage and even a neutral one would have made that fight so much easier.
I'm pretty sure it was MDB, but certainly someone said they're not using Hidden Power on principle because someone else's run would likely get a different type/strength that wouldn't let them do the same run if they tried it themselves.
MBD made a comment saying he checked the Hidden Power but it wasn’t very effective and only did a sliver.
He said in a comment here that he tried it and it didn’t work and he usually tests it in different runs. It just isn’t usually useful for the run and he doesn’t mention it.
MDB's Khimyra ads are literally the only ones on the entirety of TH-cam that I never skip. I really wish more companies would let their -victims- partners speak their honest opinion about the product instead of forcing them to say nothing and show even less *COUGHEVERYMOBILEGAMECOUGH*.
no how dare you?! that would actually make them sell products!!
Honestly same because he much like alpharad has a certain charm and humor to his ads.
little z's ads are really nice as well
You can tell that every Raid Shadow Legends sponsorship sounds like they held a gun to the content creator's head and made them spew BS for 2-3 minutes.
It's basically wholesome adds. And I'm here for it
That Stelix fight, oof that's rough, maybe a good Hidden Power would have made it easier?
Water or fire would have genuinely made it easy.
Grass, Ice, Fighting or Ground would have made it better
@@priestesslucy3299 isn't hp always physical? always thought it worked that way
@@lmaolol7702 before the Physical Special Split it's impossible to deal Damage based on a different stat from the Type of Damage you're delivering.
After the Split, HP is always Special
He tried Hidden Power and it wasn’t very effective and didn’t do much damage.
You should do a golem, octillery, and blastoise challenge in Pokémon ruby. To emulate the Pokémon dungeon game play to see if those Pokémon could actually beat groundon and maybe beat the elite four and champion
That's amazing
@@petercross1879 really? Thanks. I thought MDB should get a soft ball. My other idea was to do a run with Pokémon associated with clothes in the pokedex like levanny who is stated in the Pokédex to make clothes for swaddle. And have the clothes sponsor in this video sponsor it. But I don’t know if he saw my tweet at him. I would hope so..
11:57 now to be completely fair, EVs can help. So Gens/Games where you can EV train then ya do Grinding but afterwards or in games without EV grinding theres no difference besides time and resources.
You make your own choices and we, the audience, shall just keep on watching.
Gen 1 and 2 have the better (well, simpler) version of EV grinding.
In Gens 1 and 2 you get stat experience which is taken from the base stats of everything you kill and used to calculate the extra stat points.
I thought EVs in gen 2 could max out in all stats? By later in the game, with all that grinding, I'd bet they were all maxed out.
By the point where rare candies are necessary, EVs will be maxed out. Hell, even if you use them in a mid game grind, you'll continue obtaining them until they are maxed out. In the long run using rare candies early lowers the maximum potential of stats at level 100.
@@saigesmart4167 You might be surprised. Iirc the one flaw of the Stat Exp System was the amount of Stat Exp required to max out.
Every extra stat point requires more stat exp tham the one before it, I think.
@@saigesmart4167 that's gen 1, now you know
"also that shirt sucks. someone get that man something from Khimyra" how does it feel to be the only youtuber with a sponsor who is valid? i love you.
If Sunny Day lowers the accuracy for Thunder in this generation, doesn't that make this the generation in which Rain Dance gives Thunder 100% accuracy? I saw Mareep learned it via TM and I was wondering if that was going to be your strategy. This run was great. Keep up the great work, MDB!
I thought the same, or at least hoped he would try it if all else failed, just to see what would happen👀👀
Correct in the Gold Silver Crystal games Rain Dance makes Thunder never miss Sunny Day removes the 1 turn delay for Solar beam.
However Mereep I believe can NOT learn Solar Beam at all.
However Milktank Whitney if you don't KILL it instantly its Rollout can do that to MOST pokemon in 1 hit.
I think sunny day does that for every generation onwards
3:45 @MDB Seems you really *tackled* the issue with the hiker head-on. Some may consider it a rather *normal* approach but I believe your choice was *rock*-solid.
*sound of face being slammed onto desk* Take my like
Hey MDB, you should do a ridiculously hard challenge but to make it possible you have a ‘lifeline’ system say with 4 lifelines which you can use on any fight you choose (e.g one could be you get to use items, another could be you could use a party of two of the Pokémon you’re doing the challenge with).
Sounds like a cool idea just thought I’d comment
Interesting idea! Bump
23:17 Yes, it's far slower. Not that Arcanine doesn't have decent speed, but Alakazam is extremely fast (base 120).
I thought you were going to get a pink bow to help out your normal moves also so it would look like a real sheep in the anime lol 🤟🏽🤙🏽
This may not be the biggest challenge, but RSE with only a single Zangoose would be fun! They're my favorite pokemon in the franchise, and they -do- have a couple downsides.
I will support you in not using Rare Candy cheats. Though, x16 speed grinding I would support. Great show, as always.
I love that Youngster Joey’s making a comeback
God its been so long sense a Youngster Joey gag and I'm happy to see it back.
Just finished a no TMs/HMs Nuzlocke for SoulSilver and gosh, it’s painful how bad any amount of grinding is in this generation.
How did you get across the water?
@@blametl4921 I just did none in battle, sorry. Should have clarified that
This Challenge would be way easier if Mareep had Hidden Power Ice
also liked how the fight against Red was really close
You could always try Pokemon Red with only a Rhyhorn if you want a challenge idea
I love the outro talks! Honestly, i think its better than reading straight from the script and cutting it there. It's more fun for all of us.
Hope you weren't trying to keep it a secret tho, cause i just ruined that! 🤣
I think using Double Team in the Steelix fight would have been fine since Iron Tail already has a low accuracy, so it would lean more towards strategy than luck.
Pokémon challenge:
Gen 1 only krabby, no HM Pokémon. Krabby can learn all 3 required hms
I love the relationship with khymira you have, it's really cool
Man I can't wait for your videos to come out. They help me relax during the day.
I’m for sure rewatching the Nancy Drew let’s play! Thanks for reminding me MDB! I love that series!
Ampharos is my favourite Pokémon, and it became it from playing through Gen 2 (my favourite games) with it.
I remember playing this few years ago in the Crystal version and yes, that fight versus Steelix is brutal.
I think I ended up using Swagger to get through it... High risk high reward.
Also, Thunder + Rain Dance is not something you want to sleep on. It really makes a lot of battles more consistent!
Anyway, nice video! :)
I enjoyed hearing more about what happened outside of just the gyms and rival fights and such. Knowing how your trip itself around the world may vary slightly as your goals differ is nice, I want more of that. Also the joking about random trainers is a nice break from the usual too.
Honestly, I don't really care about the challenges anymore, I'm just here for the mdb ramble at the end. It's what makes this super fun for me.
Great run! And I like the ramblimg casual fun talk at the end, I stay till the video stop xD
Been so excited for this, mareep is probably one of my top 3 favorite Pokémon
I'd honestly forgotten how much I love the youngster Joey gag and how much I missed it.
23:15-Yes. Alakazam’s base speed is 120 compared to Arcanine’s 95.
Im so happy to hear the joey gag again after so long. Honestly hearing youngster joey call was the only reason i watched your videos in the back. I love it.
13:30 actually, Id love to see that. If you ever recorded your grind sessions I would absolutely watch them lol!
I absolutely adore your content and I love binging series or longer videos for bg noise as I work
also, if you need to use rare candies to avoid long late game grinds, absolutely go for it. you often get most evs on the pokemon by idk.. mid game anyways, so anything to help you is fantastic
Production and story telling have been huge W’s. Keep it up!
9:48
"Clears throat"
*Shuckle*
The youngster Joey gag is my favorite in the whole series. That’s what made me subscribe in the first place
I actually watch the videos all the way to the end. I enjoy your outro commentary.
I enjoy all of the runs, but the ad lib part at the end is the best.
Fun fact, toxic to this day only has 90 accuracy. Also good luck with mawhile in gen 3. No stab steel moves, and most of its moves are special.
He talked about it being unmissable for poison type pokemon because it is Koga's Muk who used it. Yet it takes until Gen5 for that to be true. But you're right, toxic is 90% accurate today for every other type. But did you know it was 85% till Gen 5? Mawile in Gen3 looks to be a fun run :)
You're doing a great job, i enjoy your videos. It's calming to watch them for me.
However, a challenge suggestion: how about a Vulpix run in a gen of your choice? I think you can do quite a lot with that one, so it should'nt be to brutal, at least later in the run
Vulpix would be cool. I wonder if gen 1 or 2 would be more interesting?
@@xstrikefiredragon maybe, but you can do quite a lot shenanningans gen 4 upwards. Because of ghost being physical back then, several attacks don't work well back then.
Gen 5 because you can work a lot with the move sets
18:18 - learning venomoth isn't flying type.
"Why are we still here, just to suffer..."
Yo! This run is what I've been waiting for! My favorite line is definitely Mareep's! Ampharos is my favorite Pokémon overall, but Flaaffy and Mareep are both top tier designs
I did this myself a few months ago. Jasmine was terrible. I really don't want to do it again ever, but I plan on doing these types of videos in the future so I'll just suck it up eventually. I ended up having to rely of Zap Cannon for Red. It was rough
I agree on the grind/rare candy discussion. Once you beat the game sure, but you say at the beginning without glitches or exploits.
I’m gonna be honest, I normally always skip through sponsorships on YT, but I’m loving the Khymera (hope I spelled it correctly xD) sponsorships, they are genuinely enjoyable to watch! Keep up the work!
Yes, so hyped for this one! The Mareep line are my favorite Pokémon!
Steelix really did beep that sheep just as hard as I thought he would.
I still want Pokemon Platinum with one Craniados/fossil Pokemon.
Man that Fallout Comment. Reminded me that I'd love to see Fallout 2. I watched Fallout 1 well after you put it up (you actually hearted a comment I left, the one about Brotherhood combat armor and you saying you didn't know about the brotherhood if you recall). I know it's a case of when you have time.
Maybe you should get a sit stand desk.
You can change the height of the desk several times during the day and keep the workflow with brakes from sitting.
Its advised to get an electrical one, changing manually is tiresome
That “Hey Kevin, how’s it going” gave me serious Cm Punk vibs from the sit down on Raw years ago!
The ceiling sheep!
...man that is an _obscure_ reference...
Requesting Pokemon B2W2 with Only One Chinchou.
I remember watching Pokemon run videos religiously a few years back but got put off yours for some reason. I could never remember why but then Youngster Joey called and reminded me, nice chap.
Really Great Video again!
Have you ever thought about using a „Try-Counter“ for the important fights?
Would really Love it to see how many trys you sometimes need till everything works:)
Anyway keep it up!
We gonna see a Slugma Gen3 run soon? You could do Gen2 but Gen3 would be so much harder due to all the water types.
I thought it would have been a bit easier starting at Goldenrod when you could pick up the elemental punches. But then I remembered only Flaafy and Ampharos could learn those.
Serebii says Mareep can get Fire Punch o.o
I love the adlibbed outros!
Looking forward to the Mawile run! One of my favorite Pokémon design-wise, but never used it before Gen 6. Need to use it, as mono steel typing or Steel/Fairy is great.
Great run! I did a solo Mareep in Crystal and Rain Dance made it so much more consistent.
7:26 Hey Kevin ! Hope you have a nice day
I've been anticipating this run for years, since the start of these challenges! Yahoo! I hope you take the... Wait, did this game even have fossils?? I dont remember!
My suggestion is Pokemon Red/Blue with only Krabby. The caveat is ONLY Krabby. No HM slaves and you can't catch or receive any other Pokemon. Meaning the only Pokemon you ever own is Krabby. He can learn Strength, Cut, and Surf so it's doable.
26:21 suggestions like this must be immortalized and returned to with frequency.
Strange this challenge is. Coming out. And I just got done watching Ace Trainer Liam's video WTF moments in the pokemon anime witch happens to be featuring Mareep. Thank you MDB for the content hope you're having a fantastic day.
On the Rare Candy cheats thing, it's worth noting that a Pokémon that is leveled up with Rare Candies will be weaker than a Pokémon that was trained by battling, especially in Gens 1 and 2. The reason is simple -- you don't get Stat Experience (or EV's if we're talking Gen 3 and later) from Rare Candies, and those factor into your stats. For many challenges, this probably wouldn't matter much; at most, you'd just end up at a higher level than you would have if you ground the normal way. For some of the hardest challenges, though, you could end up at a point where the missed Stat Experience/EV's would come back to bite you.
I was going to skip the Chimera/Kymera/however-it's-spelt-era ad, but you started it in such a way that it felt bad to skip it. It was mostly about you and you're great, so why shouldn't I watch it?
Also 11:56 killed me. xDDD
(and yes, I am catching up with the old stuff)
Mareep is one of my favorite Pokemon because it is so damn adorable. In fact, that whole line is one of my favorites. Just wish my Mareep was better in battle.
Maybe have some easier runs to have the 4 videos a month quota be easier to obtain.
I can’t wait for the Mawile run honestly it’s my favorite Pokémon I use one in everything I play that has it
I actually just rewatched your Nancy Drew play through recently. If you ever manage to play through another Nancy Drew game, I will be there.
The Patreon is in your end card and the adlibs is part of my favorite part of the videos hahaha.
Just found your channel through Paraspectre, who I in turn just found through Charem, and I see that you just made a video featuring my sheepie boi~ After a chain of events like that, I suppose I have no choice but to subscribe~ And I was listening to the outro as I was writing this now, so I suppose I have to go watch a full LP of Nancy Drew now. Who knows where this wild ride will take me next~
Anytime I did a playthrough of Silver I always had a mareep! I really like the design of this evolution line and I felt like Ampharos was an awesome electric type.
"naming her rosa cause she's bringing the thunder" that reference is perfect :D
MDB is so wholesome that I'll watch through his sponsorship bit. Keep it up my dude!
I loved playing with Mareep as a kid, Ampharos was one of my aces towards the end
These get me thru work all the time!!!!!!!! Keep at it
1. You COULD use Hidden Power TM from the Lake of Rage maze-house.
2. You could Also grab a Magnet from weekday siblings on Sunday from route 37.
I love these videos. Thank you!
Hey MDB o/
I like your positive attitude you also keep during the boring grinding parts.
A question that comes to my mind, whenever you seem to struggle vs some trainers... Do you have a rule which denies you using Hidden Power? Since this could propably give some unexpected coverage and could reduce the grinding parts during some playthroughs ._.
Keep up the good work man :D
I love Mareep but I must admit they aren't that strong... that being said I'm glad you could win with it in the end. As for a suggestion I'm sticking with Pokemon Gold/Silver with a Murkrow
Dogmeat causes flinches and waterfall gives you damage reduction. Also youngster Joey took the helix fossil I knew you'd ask if I didn't say. Actually now that I think about it ask anyways; comments are good for the TH-cam alogorith
29:49 me not bored af, sipping on that good ol' post challenge run MDB tea. Sometimes it really is "screw the algorithm"
Lol I saw you battle Youngster Joey and grab his number, and I KNEW we were in for a treat~. 😆
Personally, I love the ad-libby outro things. They're a very pleasant change of pace & tone after the well scripted episode.
Love the pokemon challenges!! Wouldn't mind seeing some of the other challenges you used to do Skyrim, fallout, etc. Also can you do pokemon Heart Gold with one dunsparce.
I also like the "fun part"(and the youngster Joey gag lol)
Ngl I like the outro more than the challenge. Keep it up!
Honestly, one run that could be interesting is Chinchou. It has a weird typing and some strange moves. While any game will be cool, I think that HGSS would be an awesome choice since it could be your first challenge in that game.
