This makes sense. The only pokémon I consistently struggled with when fighting Cynthia in DPPT was her Milotic. Garchomp was never an issue because after (at the time) 10 years of pokémon experience, you learn that not bringing at least one ice move into the league is basically suicide. Milotic is scary though. I'm not the least bit surprised with its performance.
For a while now, I've been interested in seeing a race of Gyarados vs. Milotic: they're actually rivals, having the same stat values, just shuffled. I'd love to see how they do against each other in Hoenn, though there's no rush, obviously.
That news about your voice is so wonderful. So proud of everything you’ve accomplished. It’s really inspiring to see you be so committed to taking care of yourself. Super happy for you, Scott.
Fun fact, in double battles, if you knock out an opponents Pokémon with a move like Surf (like how you knocked out Solrock) when it hits the other Pokémon the power is no longer divided and the second opponent gets hit with the full power. Tidbit I learned from competitive doubles back in the day.
I'm normally here on your Emerald videos to give advice, but I have nothing to add. Not only was Milotic really strong, but your routing was excellent and I didn't see any mistakes in battles that you didn't point out yourself immediately. I liked the way you handled your moveset especially. Going back to buy Ice Beam a second time.e, and the way you used Heart Scales this time around shows your growth since your early generation 3 videos, since you're not only remembering these things are here, but making strategic decisions around them. Good job, this video was a joy to watch.
Yeah, in the last two months I feel like my play in both gen2 and gen3 has got much better. Skill acquisition is a weird thing. For me, it always feels like I plateau for a long period of time (4-6 months) and then all of a sudden all the growth takes place over a 2-3 week period and I look back and wonder what happened.
Honestly, you may want to consider using rare candies early on erratic pokemon. Just to help nudge them into the higher levels where they level up faster.
I think they’re referring to the in game rare candies you come across throughout the playthrough; using them immediately instead of saving them for the last fight
@@grundgutigertv6170 ...and they are suggesting playing in a way to better utilize the uncommon growth rate of the pokemon. What are you even complaining about??
I've said it before and I'll say it again: congrats on your progress. I started watching your content around 2 or so Yeats ago when you had less than 10k subs and your content has soared since then, your love and dedication to what you do always shows. You and Jrose are amongst the best of these challenge videos, and I appreciate the differences you have in your content and the fact that you show follow up, more optimized runs after the fact. You're a GOAT
Very happy to hear that your voice has not only gotten better, but improved with training! Also glad to know the time invested in programming is paying off! And thanks for being such an exceptional content creator!
Holy heck we've seen a trainer during the gondola ride!!! I never knew that was a thing before I started watching your videos but I've been waiting ever since you brought it up!
Very impressive run, Milotic's massive special defense and the standard great Ice/Water coverage really carried it hard. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it got a better time than Rayquaza even after a 2nd run for both, there's clearly still room for optimization here, although Rayquaza obviously has more so that's at least debatable. The big thing though is I'm glad to hear about your voice! Good that its taken care of and you can make videos at the rate you want to again.
The real time to beat is undoubtedly going to be Kyogre. Compared to Milotic, it has the same typing and similar moves, but even higher stats (especially SP ATK), free Rain and access to Thunder. I don't think there's an encounter in the game that can really threaten it. The only downside is the slow growth rate, but even then it should be able to brute-force basically everything with tactical application of Rare Candies. I wouldn't be surprised if it can finish up under 1:50 on a first attempt, and will likely be ten minutes ahead of literally everything else. Mewtwo had Poochyena problems, Rayquaza had ice vulnerability and some awkward early moves, Groudon will be strong but Sun does so much less for it than Rain does for Kyogre, Deoxys is very fragile, Ho-oh and Lugia have to wait until level 22 to learn an attacking move, Tyranitar is slow and fears Brawly, Salamence has similar issues to Rayquaza, and Dragonite has them worse with its early movepool...
Scott is just the best. I was in a bad mood all night for some reason, I watch one video from him and I instantly feel so much better. Glad that I waited until just before bed to finally watch it haha. Also, Milotic is one of my favourite Gen 3 pokemon, so I am happy to see it deliver.
Great to hear about your voice, Scott! I can totally understand how freeing it feels, now that you can record as much content as you want. I once had quite severe RSI, limiting myself both in work and personal activities. Luckily, I also managed to get that under control so I don't have to worry about that anymore either. Anyway, looking forward to your next video tomorrow!
I was quite impressed by the final result. I thought the erratic growth rate would be a big problem. That said, I was completely floored and about lost my mind when you rode the lift up the mountain. Of course a trainer would show up when you've got this majestic Pokemon with you.
I never got to use Milotic growing up, but finally decided to in a playthrough several years ago, and was incredibly impressed. That thing is a beast, and it quickly became my team's ace. Earned an eternal respect from me that day.
This was an absolutely great run, m'boy :D but the absolute highlight for me was when you said you're feeling better, as someone who works with his voice all the time I know just how much of a strain it can be, so I'm very very happy for you :) Keep being awesome.
Breath support is so powerful. I'm so relieved your voice is all right again! Also amazing result for Milotic. Can't wait for the eventual Kyogre destroying everything run once it's happening.
14:02 A historic moment! I was starting to think we'd never see it. It might not be the Hiker, but a Picnicker is just as good! Also, I'm glad to hear your voice is feeling way better! Thanks for the content, it's always great to watch/listen too.
The outro of this video is so wholesome! I am very glad you're feeling better Scott, and we are all happy to have you here! I am very much looking forward to the future and more videos and streams from you. Also, I am glad that you've mentioned doing a solo playthrough with Gardevoir since it is my favorite Pokemon so I am very much looking forward to it! Although I do not expect it to be very good thanks to its Slow growth rate. Other than that it is a very good Pokemon - in fact, it gets MUCH better after Generation VI since it gains the Fairy typing. In any case, I am still looking forward to the playthrough and seeing how my favorite Pokemon performs in your hands!
Hi Scott, I haven't commented on this channel for years but I would like to say, I have always loved your Pokemon Challenge Runs along with MahDryBread and Jrose11. Them and you, inspired me to do my own Pokemon Challenge Runs and I just want to say keep up the good work and I have loved Pokemon since I was 3 years old and my favourites are Fire Red and Emerald. Those games were a huge part of my childhood and thanks to you three, I started to play them again ages ago and doing solo and random challenge runs in updated, quality of life styled rom hacks of the games, so I can keep up to date with the modern, newly released games and still play the regular vanilla game with slight changes to them.
95*2 = 190 70*3 = 210 Means two ice beams only deal 10% less than three HP Electrics vs Kingdra. With the extra freeze chance and the chance for high rolls, it's definitely worth it since it's possible that Ice Beam could two shot when HP Electric looks like a three-hit.
Just remember that hot tea with honey and lemon is a well known singer's trick to soothe the throat. Thanks for the videos! I listened to your Nuzlock of Yellow while playing Violet this morning and really enjoyed it!
Interesting to hear your voice update at the end. Glad you found such a good and seemingly easy solution. I think one of the strengths of your content is how consistently well produced everything you put out is. Your level of quality is *chefs kiss*
I'm so glad about your voice!!! Keep up the great work man! Your videos are literally the best quality beside Jrose11's videos. Everyone else is line a straight tier below, keep up the great work, and I'm so glad you're enjoying Emerald more, and becoming even better at it. I look forward to seeing your continued improvement!
I liked this comment because I really appreciate the support! However, there are lots of other small creators that are doing an amazing job. I’m lucky because my channel is a size that allows me to hire support and that is really a major advantage that lets me pump out stuff of this quality this quickly!
The amount of attention to detail in these videos is stunning. Effect counters, your current stats, and current stat stages are all very nice touches that I feel differentiate you from other challenge TH-camrs. Keep up the good work!
I remember being upset I could never obtain this Pokémon when this game first came out. I was 8 years old. 19 years later in the summer of 2022 I hunted for a Feebas and I found the spot in my Sapphire copy. You bet I caught as many as I could until they stopped spawning in that location. Edit: I’m not surprised Milotic was so great, I’m beyond happy that Scott is doing better and doesn’t have to worry about his voice. Love your channel man.
I simply am obsessed with Milotic 😊! Since I saw it in the anime the first time I fell for it! I was like... I want to have it, I want to have it in my party! I never understood why I couldn't catch Feebas in the route 119, I never could get it 😢, but finally one day I found out, ever since I have always used Milotic in my party! I had no doubt it would be good in a solo run but not this much, man! Wow imagine how Kyogre could fare in this game, it learns thunder and it makes rain! The best Pokemon ever, Kyogre! But Milotic certainly has a great move pool! It really stood out! Scott, an excellent job with Milotic, thank you very much, you made Milotic worthy of its recognizing as a beautiful and strong water Pokemon! You were brilliant! 👏👍Way to go!!!
I always love seeing when you have a new video! I wanted to use Milotic in gen 3 as a kid but could never find the right tiles. Tried for days and still never got one 😭 finally got one in gen 4
I have been looking forward to this play through for a while and honestly I had a feeling that milotic was going to do great for its time and boy was I right thank you that was so satisfying
Seems like your voice got the fabled PP up, cheers! Every single video you've made has brought a great smile to my face. Keep up the good work my top lad!
Great to hear about your voice, and I'm glad to hear the process as a whole has become so easy! Even so, I'm not sure I could ever do what you do - but that's part of life, eh? To each their own, and the world is richer for it!
I'm so glad to hear you're feeling much better! Really goes to show that your vocal chords are muscles that need exercise, too. I'm really looking forward to the rest of May!
I was worried about the growth rate but Milotic killed it! Glad to hear that your voice is feeling better and I look forward to seeing more Livestreams
AH SWEET! Altaria playthrough. Great video man, the smoothness of the transitions have gotten better. I should probably get around to time stamp the Corsola Live stream and the Celebi live playthrough.
That was absolute HYPE well done milotic! One of my fave pokemon :D great video Scott! I would actually love to see you do a Rayquaza Vs Milotic video haha
Love Milotic and it's great seeing it in action in Emerald since it takes so much time to find a Feebas to the point where I had a friend of mine trade me a Feebas that I could breed to get one with my original trainer name. Also I never knew about the people you could see when taking the cable car up Mt. Chimney. The more you know. Please keep up the great videos and thanks for the great content.
I can't wait to see Platinum runs, Cynthia's triple threat of Milotic, Garchomp, and Lucario I reckon are gonna be nightmares for some runs based on the type coverage needed and how together they're a mix of special attack, physical attack and tankiness. Her Garchomp is rightfully iconic but the one-two of the Milotic into the Garchomp was devastating back in the day.
One small piece of solace for your eventual Slugma playthrough is that at least it isn't part Rock yet. Fire on its own is a pretty solid defensive typing (outside of Gen 1), even before the introduction of the Fairy type. Slugma still has a myriad of issues of course, but at least it doesn't have double weaknesses to two of the most common and potent offensive types in the game (especially in Hoenn, where there is infamously "too much water.")
Milotic is the gen 3 Gyarados in a sense. It's over powered, and has a great ability with some incredible stats to back it up ,on the defensive department. Marvel scale is great ability,and I think that you could have used it more on early game, especially against Brawly. Because I think that you'll that extra defense boost to outlast his attcks . With marvel scale that could be possible in theory. Because once Milotic is inflicted with status, it's defence is increasing by 50%. You can poison it by fighting wurmples or Roselias that could poison Milotic in order to activate this ability.😁 By the way ,the art for Milotic for this video was really beautiful. It captures the essence of the beauty of that Pokémon. 😊 I really like how you put a lot of thought to these tiny details. Well done.😄
I miiiight actually like Milotic more than Gyarados, it’s so cool! I remember somehow figuring out how to get one basically by accident as a kid and showing my friends how to get it. I might also relate to it a little as someone who was a bit of an ugly duckling as a kid lol
This thing is a damn unit. I love milotic. I have a shiny one actually, and you made the correct choice with hidden power electric. It’s always electric or grass for milotic. Gotta have that coverage!
dude you are getting good at Emerald, Milotic is a beast, as an opponent, I hate it because its so good, Alteria should be a fun one, I do hope you got Castform planned sometime soon as well, you'll either love it or hate it
I really like Altaria its a shame its stats are a little mediocre but im looking forward to seeing how you will go through the game with it as always i love your content its always brightens my day to see you upload and good-luck on the runs
Nice foresight of keeping rain dance for Tate and Liza. Also for Norman's fight u can actually get a persim berry at route 114 for the teeter dance spinda. Also, u may want to consider like swagger for early game like grovyle battle with Brendan 3. And u should have some money for early vitamins at the energy guru for maybe 1-2 of them, which may be worth. Hope my small advice could help u streamline your future emerald playthroughs
hello person scrolling by, hope you have a good rest of your day. i hope milotic does decently, it’ll probably do okay against roxanne but then slow down for a bit, then really get going after that
Still crazy to me feebas had such an obscure way to find it with the only reset being a random NPC across the map and said “let’s make it even rarer in gen 4”
I wonder if for the erratic growth rate should the rare candy usage change? Normally it’s clear that rare candies should be used as late as possible. But since the growth rate experience is so wonky maybe you should be using rare candies as soon as you pick them up. I haven’t done the math, but just a thought
Great first choice for the erratic type! Gonna take a guess that Altaria is the next erratic pokemon based on that flying type comment 👀 Edit: finished the video knew it! :)
This run is interesting because it looks like there are a ton of spots it could be optimized. With the erratic growth rate, it might be better to use more rare candies earlier, since there's less reward for saving them. Water types also feel really strong in emerald. They have a good matchup vs Roxanne, Flannery, Tate/Liza, and Steven, have ice moves to deal with Drake, and don't really have any bad matchups against any of the gym leaders in the game. The matchup vs Wattson isn't even that bad because water hits magneton for neutral damage, which completely hardwalls a lot of pokemon. I was expecting Milotic to do pretty well because of all this, but I'm gonna guess other water types will also do pretty well in this game for similar reasons.
So glad I found your channel brother❤ absolutely love love loved your Gardevoir run!!! Your the best congratulations on your marriage man you earned a new subscriber 😅😊🎉

Second this
Not only Hoenn, Kanto should also be done, in FR or LG
Both Gyarados and Milotic have abilities that patch up their physical defense, and Hidden Abilities that buff their best offensive stat.
Gyarados gets no physical stab in gen 3 outside of hp flying which kinda hurts it.
That news about your voice is so wonderful. So proud of everything you’ve accomplished. It’s really inspiring to see you be so committed to taking care of yourself. Super happy for you, Scott.
Fun fact, in double battles, if you knock out an opponents Pokémon with a move like Surf (like how you knocked out Solrock) when it hits the other Pokémon the power is no longer divided and the second opponent gets hit with the full power. Tidbit I learned from competitive doubles back in the day.
The fact we never got Mega Milotic is a war crime
Accurate it would have had an absolutely amazing sprite
Thank goodness for ROM hacks - Mega Milotic in Inclement Emerald is beautiful
For me Milotic is perfect as it is
megas are the warcrime ...
just as the fact that Luxray is not Electric/Dark, Psyduck si not Water/Psychic and Electivire is not Electric/Fighting.

@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon I'm the same way. Your growth in these skills is very clear. Now I just gotta find time to watch the Altaria video.
Honestly, you may want to consider using rare candies early on erratic pokemon. Just to help nudge them into the higher levels where they level up faster.
I disagree. Their growth rate are a part of them. It strongly belongs to how the pokemon plays
I think they’re referring to the in game rare candies you come across throughout the playthrough; using them immediately instead of saving them for the last fight

Mewtwo had Poochyena problems, Rayquaza had ice vulnerability and some awkward early moves, Groudon will be strong but Sun does so much less for it than Rain does for Kyogre, Deoxys is very fragile, Ho-oh and Lugia have to wait until level 22 to learn an attacking move, Tyranitar is slow and fears Brawly, Salamence has similar issues to Rayquaza, and Dragonite has them worse with its early movepool...

That was an amazing finish! It really says something that most of the resets early on were almost all on random trainers with grass Pokémon.
I am so glad to hear your voice is getting better with that vocal training! It is wonderful to hear such good news!
There might be plenty of other Pokémon challenge runners to choose from, but when it comes to solo runs, no one else comperes.
I'm so glad to hear you're feeling much better! Really goes to show that your vocal chords are muscles that need exercise, too. I'm really looking forward to the rest of May!
Im glad your Health is getting better! And I look forward to new videos!

With a move like refresh vs Watson, if you're faster it will always be worth going for refresh to reduce the chances of full paralysis turns.
AH SWEET! Altaria playthrough. Great video man, the smoothness of the transitions have gotten better. I should probably get around to time stamp the Corsola Live stream and the Celebi live playthrough.

One small piece of solace for your eventual Slugma playthrough is that at least it isn't part Rock yet. Fire on its own is a pretty solid defensive typing (outside of Gen 1), even before the introduction of the Fairy type.
Slugma still has a myriad of issues of course, but at least it doesn't have double weaknesses to two of the most common and potent offensive types in the game (especially in Hoenn, where there is infamously "too much water.")
Milotic is the gen 3 Gyarados in a sense. It's over powered, and has a great ability with some incredible stats to back it up ,on the defensive department.
Marvel scale is great ability,and I think that you could have used it more on early game, especially against Brawly. Because I think that you'll that extra defense boost to outlast his attcks . With marvel scale that could be possible in theory. Because once Milotic is inflicted with status, it's defence is increasing by 50%. You can poison it by fighting wurmples or Roselias that could poison Milotic in order to activate this ability.😁
By the way ,the art for Milotic for this video was really beautiful. It captures the essence of the beauty of that Pokémon. 😊 I really like how you put a lot of thought to these tiny details. Well done.😄
I love milotic, I'm so excited!
Edit: OMG altaria tomorrow!? I love it too!
I could never get this mon as a kid. Extra bummed about it now I know how amazing it is. Wonderful run, congrats on the time!
cant wait to see this one re-done, there is still so much potential left to use. Milotic is one of my absolute favourites
I am glad to hear your voice is doing better! Looking forward to more content from you.
It is very nice to hear that your voice feels much better!
I miiiight actually like Milotic more than Gyarados, it’s so cool! I remember somehow figuring out how to get one basically by accident as a kid and showing my friends how to get it. I might also relate to it a little as someone who was a bit of an ugly duckling as a kid lol
This thing is a damn unit. I love milotic. I have a shiny one actually, and you made the correct choice with hidden power electric. It’s always electric or grass for milotic. Gotta have that coverage!
Oh wow i wasnt expecting this one so soon! Milotoc has been my favorite pokemon since childhood so i cant watch to this one 😊
YESSSSSSS IT FINALLY HAPPENED IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG TO SEE SOMEONE ON THE MOUNTAINNNNNNNNNNMNMMM
dude you are getting good at Emerald, Milotic is a beast, as an opponent, I hate it because its so good, Alteria should be a fun one, I do hope you got Castform planned sometime soon as well, you'll either love it or hate it
The most beautiful Pokémon in existence!!
Nice to hear that your voice is 👍
So enjoyable to listen 💪
Slugma is one of my favorites. I'd love to see a run with em.
Man. I love the Slugma line but they suck so much in this game.. Would be an interesting watch for sure.
Early like, cause I already know it's gonna be awesome 👌 👏 👍
I really like Altaria its a shame its stats are a little mediocre but im looking forward to seeing how you will go through the game with it as always i love your content its always brightens my day to see you upload and good-luck on the runs
Nice foresight of keeping rain dance for Tate and Liza. Also for Norman's fight u can actually get a persim berry at route 114 for the teeter dance spinda. Also, u may want to consider like swagger for early game like grovyle battle with Brendan 3. And u should have some money for early vitamins at the energy guru for maybe 1-2 of them, which may be worth. Hope my small advice could help u streamline your future emerald playthroughs
hello person scrolling by, hope you have a good rest of your day.
i hope milotic does decently, it’ll probably do okay against roxanne but then slow down for a bit, then really get going after that
Love you Scott
Thanks for steaming one of my favorite water types from the water region
It's great to know your voice is doing well.
I really liked this run! It was very relaxing.
Zigzagoon can appear on the mountain along with the hikers. But it's invisible
21:15 - Good old fashioned "Bolt-Beam" combo (even if janky) + Stab Surf on a good Special Attacker, such a nice reliable damage-dealing moveset.....
seems that pokemon with high special defense always do pretty well.
Let's go scott! Good to see another amazing run lets get a mimikyu run 🤔🤔
Scott is my GOAT
Do u get on your knees for him as well? 😂
He Is actually a Man
Glad to hear your voice is better!
Just be thankful that because of how these challenges work you never had to catch the damn thing
Hell yea, milotic! Killed it. Hope all is well with your voice man
Still crazy to me feebas had such an obscure way to find it with the only reset being a random NPC across the map and said “let’s make it even rarer in gen 4”
Holy toledo we finally saw someone on the tram, I am so excited!
Finally. My favorite gen 3 Pokemon!
Glad your voice is feeling better. 😊
In honor of Milotic's storied history in R/S/E I give to you...one of the ancient memes. *Ahem*
"Calm Mind Milotic has no weak."
I wonder if for the erratic growth rate should the rare candy usage change? Normally it’s clear that rare candies should be used as late as possible. But since the growth rate experience is so wonky maybe you should be using rare candies as soon as you pick them up. I haven’t done the math, but just a thought
I was thinking this too! However Milotic didn’t struggle early on at all so I ended up putting off using them until it was at a high level.
That’s totally fair! Thanks for the awesome run. Love your content ^_^
Hey Scott. Long time lurker. Glad your voice is better. Enjoy your content
17:14 I love that fish. One of my favorite pokemon.
Today we learn that the Lotad is is mightier than the Nosepass :).

Ohhhh man, early content! Thank you!!

I love milotic just like I enjoy watching your videos ❤
You know that person that's annoyingly good at everything AND really good looking? Yeah, that's Milotic
Glad to hear your voice is better Scott!
Exactly!
Great first choice for the erratic type!
Gonna take a guess that Altaria is the next erratic pokemon based on that flying type comment 👀
Edit: finished the video knew it! :)
Milotic is literally one of my favorite pokemon ever. Just based on looks.
This run is interesting because it looks like there are a ton of spots it could be optimized. With the erratic growth rate, it might be better to use more rare candies earlier, since there's less reward for saving them. Water types also feel really strong in emerald. They have a good matchup vs Roxanne, Flannery, Tate/Liza, and Steven, have ice moves to deal with Drake, and don't really have any bad matchups against any of the gym leaders in the game. The matchup vs Wattson isn't even that bad because water hits magneton for neutral damage, which completely hardwalls a lot of pokemon.
I was expecting Milotic to do pretty well because of all this, but I'm gonna guess other water types will also do pretty well in this game for similar reasons.
So glad I found your channel brother❤ absolutely love love loved your Gardevoir run!!! Your the best congratulations on your marriage man you earned a new subscriber 😅😊🎉
Welcome to the channel! Good to have you here!
