What I said - There is no Rest TM in this game
What I should have said - Regigigas can't learn Rest by TM
"Erm, Actually" coming to a comment near you
Day 35 of asking mdb to do pokemon stadium 2
God if only the pokemon who is known for slumbering could learn rest :( . Also I know you've heard this a lot but I absolutely love your content man
Opinion on Cm punk’s aew release
Rest definitely could of been a good counter to Slow Start, but sad it couldn't be used
I think this run will be off to a slow start
Take my like and GET OUT!
Boooooo
Ya know what, I’m gonna CRUSH you with my CLAW
@@Dark_Daedalusdont boo him, as a connoisseur of bad jokes I applaud
Booooo
Funnily enough, all the other Regis are literally impossible, since they start with only Explosion.
Only through Diamond and Pearl, actually. They got Stomp added at level one in Platinum!
@@Missingn0mast3r the reason is because in Platinum you can catch them at level 30, at witch point they still would have Explosion in their moveset
@@Missingn0mast3rhuh I thought that was in HGSS. My mistake
@lillithplays6514 it's in HGSS and Pt
@@lordhelixarisen7271 general rule of thumb is if a change from hgss isn't to a Johto pokemon, it's actually from Platinum
Slow Start and Truant. The two greatest abilities in Pokémon history.
Don’t forget Defeatist. Really the only 3 good abilities in all of Pokémon.
Klutz and Defeatist are up there too
@@circularnectarine1439 Klutz has legit usage in certain strategies where you switcheroo bad items to enemies like lagging tail.
It's gimmicky, but Durant can use Entrainment to give the opponent its Truant.
Slow Start is so good they felt like it would be a shame to keep it out of Legends Arceus.
Now I wanna see a run with Phione lol. It’s got a base stat of 80 in every stat, but it’s a Pokémon you never see.
That could be a nice run, actually. I kind of want to try it for myself now...
80 across the board is way better than most Pokemon he's done runs with, but Phione's still not great (in particular only learning Water-type moves by level up, and not a whole lot more via TMs), so it could make for a fun run still. Mid-difficulty, I would guess, probably keep it on the backlog for right before or after a really tough challenge.
i'm just doing my part for the TH-cam Algorithm. 👍
All now before the algorithm.
I shall also help with the algorithm!
And shall I!
I refuse to help! .....wait, no, you can't take this as me heeeeeand they did it anyway! Oh well, at least I didn't actually hit en-
Yeah, I heard somewhere that comments are good for that.
Just saying halfing your attack stat isn't the same thing as halving your base stats. It's like huge power. Azumarill doubles attack stat means it's EV's and IV's get doubled as well
You can test that by using a Teddiursa (who does have base 80 Atk 50 Spd) and seeing that at an equal level with the same EV investment it outspeeds and outdamages Reggie.
Ye. and the Nature as well
@@ZorotheGalladedon’t have to hes correct. It halves your stat as in the summary screen in game.
@@psychopat4402 Yeah that's what I said. At an equal level and with equal investment, a Teddiursa will have higher stats than a Slow Starting Regigigas.
@@ZorotheGallade lol
I was curious about how Regigigas' halved attack would look as a base stat. its actually not 80, its closer to Pikachu's 55
And the speed closer to base 25
Fun fact, if you gave Pikachu a Light Ball, it’s attack stat would be about the same as Regigigas’ 160 lmao
@@SlimeonianGamefreak? You got some explaining to do
@@JohnDoe-pb4drto compensate they usually dont make light balls very accessible tbh.
How the fuck the does that work?
Surprised just how many fights hit that sweet spot. Will definitely be interesting to see if using Regigigas in other games will work just as well.
Small correction from the start, base stats do not scale linearly. If your base attack is 160 and your attack stat is cut in half that means you effectively have a base attack of 71, not 80. The way your actual stats calculate, each additional point of base stats gives a smaller return as you go. As a result, since actual stats gained from all the base stats are cut in half, instead of recalculating your stats as if your base stat was lower, you should always consider reducing your actual stats as reducing your base stats by *more* than what the reported decrease is. This means that discounting nature, EVs, and IVs, Regigigas has a higher special attack than physical attack until slow start wears off.
Do you know if that is the same case with a level 100 Pokémon doing online battles that set it to level 50? Are the stats just being halved, or are the stats being recalculated?
That is actually a good point
@@D-Havoc Without knowing every single online battle system out there, any system I'm aware of changes you level 50, just without changing EVs or moves. So, it not only recalculates stats, it also means the damage calculation formula uses level 50 rather than level 100 (a weak level 100 Pokemon with the same attacking stat as a strong level 50 Pokemon will actually do more damage because damage scales with both attacking stat and Pokemon level, not attacking stat alone).
It's not really a smaller return as you go. Each additional base stat point always gives an additional 2 actual stat points at level 100, not including natures. You are however right that its attack being cut in half is not the same as cutting the base stat in half
Also IV's, EV's and nature bonuses are halved as well and since early game mons tend to give attack EV's that means gigases attack stat is worse than it would be for another mon.
i kinda wanna see more of these "good mon" challenges. not replacing anything but it was fun to see a low grinding run with a diverse moveset. Slow start is also an interesting factor to deal with
I'm amused that a pokemon that canonically shifts continents around had a hard time with almost every major fight this run
I managed to do this one as a hardcore nuzlocke with level caps and all, it was super fun and I'm glad you got to do this one as well!
This run speaks to me personally. Myself and my partner actually reference Regigigas some days. If we wake up on a given morning and just can't get going we call it a Regigigas kind of day. Because of the "Slow Start"
I've been waiting for this, glad you enjoyed the run.
Bringing in substitute for the last battles was a pro gamer move. Great run!
Hell yeah!!! That was great!!!
You can really tell you're having a lot of fun
Only needed a fossil joke though
I really liked this video! It's good to see you enjoy a run so much!
i too thought it be too easy but it seems to hit a really good balance. For me a good challenge run is one that feels a bit like a puzzle instead of having to just grind like hell. This run i wont say make it 100% there but it did have cool moments and substitute being a legit solution made it way more cool
Really happy with how this challenge turned out. I knew it wouldn't be as hard as using first form Pokémon, but Slow Start was such a hindrance that it made for really interesting fights, specially the final rival fight. Glad to know that you're planning to use Regigigas in more challenges in the near future.
I mean slow start wasn't much of a hindrance really. The only hindrance was that he was a normal type during the rival fight and that he only had one Pokémon so susceptible to stat drops and status.
Considering how well it went in this run, Regigigas in Pokemon Black should be somewhat similar but a little more challenging. Can't wait for more of your amazing runs!
Seeing you posted this challenge made my day!
I like seeing the strategies you had to use in this one. This was a fun one.
Would love to see you do one with Shaymin! I actually tried it with two Shaymin recently, and even with adding Swift at the beginning since it doesn't learn an attacking move until lv. 9 I was still surprised by how much of a challenge it was, mostly due to the lack of non-grass level up moves.
welcome back, I've missed you the last couple weeks
I like the idea of retooling the easy challenges like this into trying to do it at the lowest level possible, to the point that you would even retry fights underleveled if you feel like you could JUST about make it with the same kind of RNG you'd need in a normal run.
great run keep up your wonderful work always enjoy these videos thanks for all your hard work
Commenting before I see the challenge. I think this should be easy? But perhaps there's a reason this has been requested so much. No matter what I think you're going to crush this challenge, just with a couple overlooked surprises.
Regigigas (and the other Regis, especially Regirock) is one of my favourite pokemon by design just because of how weird they are and the lore (or lack of) that they have, they're still pretty mysterious and ambiguous creatures and I love the design so much. Sure he sucks to use but its a fascinating creature, lovely to see you use it.
I loved this challenge! Regigigas is literally my favorite Pokemon of all time
Glad I got to watch this even happier it came out on my birthday
Nice run MDB! My workweeks have gotten a lot worse so these days I’m always at least 1-2 runs behind.
Anyways, back to the randomizer series I go lol
It's been so long since I have seen one of your videos. Forgot how much I enjoyed them!!! Watching your nuzzlocks is what made me want to do Pokémon Game Live Streams on my channel. Keep up that grind my friend!!!
Thanks man i watch all ypur vids while i frind keep it up legend
This was awesome! Do you think you could do a run with only weight based attacks (I.e. low kick, grass knot, etc.) I feel like it would be an interesting run with different brick walls
This was a fun run. More tough than I expected. Glad you did it!
Funfact for people who don't know, Regigigas actually has an effective attack of 55, and speed of 25 under slow start.
It'd be a fun challenge to make it so every pokemon you caught had slow start. I always like seeing what team you pick
Only special attackers
I'm so glad you did this one!
This was the funniest run I’ve ever seen, gg mate
With the weather bit in the ad break, hearing about the weather in Ontario, Canada reminds me very much of the unpredictable bipolar af weather of St Louis, Missouri that I grew up with lol
I figured it wouldn't be too hard a run, still a fun one to watch!
For a big challenge beating pokemon emerald with only a Slakoth would be crazy difficult
considering how much worse truant is than slow start, maybe switching that for slaking would make it doable
Really good video my guy
Been wanting this one for years!!
You know it's going to be a fast run when the video is a quarter finished after the first gym😂
I’m really excited to see more regigigas challenges
I really like your variety of runs!!
Have you ever thought of adding something like a randomizer for e.g. the abilities or moves?
Or have you considered runs like random path finding (I love those videos)
What do you think of a parcifists run (only status moves and no direct hits)?
I was thinking during the playthrough, hmm it would be interesting to see substitute with the Slow Start ability. And Elite 4 the substitute TM comes out. Surprised to not see you use Leftovers as a held items but it was awesome to see the strats vs the Elite 4. Great vid as always, look forward to Saturdays.
I wonder if a Platinum Fossil only run would be too easy? They have a lot of weaknesses but Rampardos hits like a truck so who knows. Maybe one day!
Bwomp
Depends on the patience Mah Dry Bread has.
He can start with one fossil, but the only other way to get another one is in the Underground... a major luck-based circumstance. He might not want to waste hours or days finding the Skull/Armor Fossil to get the other party member.
@@insulttothehumanrace3807That’s very fair they are a pain to find
ITs doable since their doable as long as its NOT a Kabuto/tops run for at least the Gen 1 games.
Substitute, Protect and left overs would be a good strategy to shake off slow start. Have a nice vacation ✌️
I’ve been wanting this video
I actually laughed out loud when I saw that title and thumbnail. Obviously this will be an easy run, regigigas is practically unkillable compared to the crap you normally use, but I love this idea for how much of an insult to regigigas it is. I think it'll be really fun to see how some of the boss fights go and how low your level will end up being. Keep up the good work
These videos are so fun even when it’s an easier run
this is one of my all time favourite pokemon. finding it in platinum was such an epic moment as a kid
I feel like you should have started with regigigas as a level 1 just because thats what level he is found at in platinum
12:30 “I should get earthquake for steel types” 30 seconds later “wow if only there was some way I could do twice as much damage to lucario..” nice
Any Gen HM Moves in Battle Only + Minimum Pokemon required to learn all HM moves out of battle to progress to Elite Four.
Can use PUR to start with weakest HM damaging HM move.
Let’s boost that algorithm before the release! Because why not!
12hr shift - gym - new mah dry bread video....todays a good day
Hey, long time fan keep it up❤
for future runs if you're worried about one specific status like burn just try to start the fight pre statused with a less threatening status
Lots of tense moments, not much grinding, pretty much the ideal scenario for a run!
Loved the creativity needed to overcome the gimmick.
Obviously you can't plan for a run that good but it'd be interesting to see some other gimmick pokemon that aren't necessarily agonizing, but would make for interesting and unexpected outcomes.
Not too familiar with later gens so I can't think to suggest any unfortunately. Regardless, great run, good video.
One of the most satisfying runs I've seen
Wishing well to Fatima!!! We miss her from her Emerald run haha
What I find absolutely hilarious is that Varoom has Slow Start as its Hidden Ability. I guess it makes sense when you consider Varoom is based on a car engine so it takes time to get going, but its still so bizarre and funny.
Honestly substitute was a gigabrain call for this run. It helped so much! I love niche moves like that.
The perfect balance of fun and fast but still requires some game planning and a bit of luck
What a wrestling weekend MDB!!!!
I thought it would be a piece of cake too 😮
For a next run, what about a breton run? Playing Aegislash (Excalibur) in Kalos (France/Bretagne/🧀🥖) 😋
I already know the Starfield challenge runs are gonna be awesome!
I use to run a pretty decent team on Showdown with Gigas. So many people online were clowning me for using him until they realized that a slow, bulky, physical Gigas is hard to defeat when the meta was “spend 3-5 turns setting up” back then. My favorite set was max atk, max def, no speed, lefties, Drain Punch, Return, Substitute, Knock Off.
Oh my god. I never realized the prompt for Slow Start wearing off is "[Pokemon] finally got its act together!". That's incredible.
"Maybe you're a scarf guy!" just a chuckle, but still a chuckle
Didn't know they had scarves! Maybe I'll pick a red one up to go for one of my favorite summer outfits: Dawn from gen 4. I've already got my smart watch set up to look like a pokétch
Hope you and your wife enjoyed the time spent together, and best of luck to her French education
*fights zubat half their pokemons level*
Mahdrybread: "Wow, I'm feeling really good about this run"
DPP music is so good. Nothing slaps as hard as Barry's theme.
I've been dying for this video
Nice run! 😃
A giga run from a giga mon. Still holding out for a Murkrow only run but these are still always fun to listen to on the ride home
Heres a fun run I just thought of. Any Pokemon game with the box art legendary, but you have to have the Pokemon be at least 6 levels lower than the Gym leader or Elite for members ace. For example if you play Pokemon ruby you can only use Groundon but he can only be at level 8 when he goes up agains Roxanne who's Nosepass is at level 14. That way the extra stats of the legendary isn't as noticeable. Also is you go under 6 levels close to the ace you have to restart.
Awesome idea!!
Them: oh no, your stats are cut in half and it'll be so hard.
MDB: 80 attack? It must be Christmas morning
Saw the video 5 hours ago, but I couldn't get it going. Watching it now at last!
I came up with a really silly challenge this week: Pokemon Black/White with only the move Assist. I wanted to try it for myself in X, but trying to randomise that *just* to have Purrloin as a starter to do it turned out to be far, far beyond the level of faff that I was willing to deal with when it came to figuring it out. xD
Great run! So glad you're back making videos. Enjoy your week off with your wife!
Came for the algorithm, heart you MDB. Hope you're feeling well
You should try things like Held Pecha berries and rawest berries for fights where statuses are lose conditions
I would love to see more strategy in these videos
I think this challenge could be more interesting if you just did a platinum run with every pokemon you have has slow start but It's still a great vid keep up the work
Great vid!
I'm 2 minutes into the video and I'm so excited to see where the problems start
this was a great one.
This is one of my favorite runs you've done lately. Very quirky pokemon 🤔
It wasn't easy as you expected it to be, but it was pretty nervewracking.
I mean that in a good way though. This is probably one of my new favorites.
Love such unique runs=3 Have a wonderful day=)
I thought your watch was the surprised Pikachu meme, I need a nap
Hey MDB! I'm surprised that I remembered this but - I had a dream a few days ago where I was a Pokemon trainer with only one hoothoot and I was getting destroyed by this double trainer battle with 5 ledybas. This is weird because I have never played Pokemon gold or used a hoothoot in any of my Pokemon games. To honor this odd dream, could you play Pokemon gold with only one hoothoot? I think it would be a good challenge!
Thanks for reading my comment - they are good for the youtube algorithm, after all.
It might be kinda fun to do a run where all 3 starter pokemon are replaced with one of the Legendary Trio. Probably one of the games where you have two 'rivals' who each get the other starters.
Regigigas has imo the best cry out of all the pokemon
