Unfortunately in B2/W2, you can’t get a fossil until Post Game. I know this is good for the TH-cam Algorithm, but just wanted you to know. Hope this helps.
Both Elgyem and Beheeyem's names are based on acronyms, and as such, I always figured they were supposed to be pronounced as the acronym. LGM: Little green men and BEM: bug-eyed monster. Get it? Because they're aliens.
5:34 Actually, common misread, but Assurance (Dark) only does double damage if the TARGET had been hit already that turn, specifically by a partner in Double Battles, not if the USER was hit, that's the effect for Revenge (Fighting) and Avalanche (Ice), which have negative priority to ensure the foe has the chance to attack first, while Assurance is the default neutral priority.
Id love to see a run at any Game with only round/chonky boiz. Like Jigglypuff, Marill, Spheal, Venonat and so on Or a Hoenn deep sea run with Gorebyss, Huntail, Relicanth and Lanturn
@2:43 IV calculator at psypokes gives these ranges: everything except speed has a range from 0-19, where for speed the IV range is 10-29. It is higher than 10 as a speed IV of 10 would make the speed stat 5, where yours have 6. So at the very least, a speedy shuckle. Note: the IV ranges are very broad at lower levels.
Leaving a comment for the algo because I don't watch B2W2 videos. I've deluded myself into thinking I'll play this gen one day without spoiling the story beforehand. Shuckle is an amazing choice.
Elgyem and Beheeyem are references to different types of alien classification, Elgyem meant to be L.G.M. or Little Green Men and Beheeyem being B.E.M. or Bug-Eyed Monster, the best way to pronounce their names is just by saying the abbreviations
@@bradlyhaskell9821 If only Shuckle was fast enough to make that work... Given it's almost non-existing attack power and HP, Power Trick would turn Shuckle into a wet single-layer toilet paper Railgun that will pretty much never go first. And a Quick Claw it's not gonna be enough to fix it.

My suggestion: make a tier list video of the hardest solo runs challenges And then the 6 Pokémon’s ranked the worst you can use in your team (they all should have the same name from the challenges) It would be the greatest crossover in TH-cam!
Funny enough, I had a Shuckle on a team back in a Johto game. A friend opted to go 1v1 with my team and his. My Shuckle had Sandstorm, Rollout, Toxic and Swagger. It swept.
On our way through, I took the Plume Fossil. I knew if I didn’t say what I took, you’d all ask. Actually, now that I think about it, everyone asks anyway. Comments are good for the TH-cam algorithm.
The only Pokémon game I ever actually owned was Gold, when I was a kid. I used to love having shuckle in my team, and after I learned there was a real life elite four back then (I don't remember exactly how it worked but I think it had something to do with some official championships) and one of them used a shuckle to I was so thrilled. I think my usual moveset was safeguard / rest / toxic / sandstorm. After setting up I'd just sit back and watch. Sometimes it didn't work but it was really fun
@@DefinitelyNotAFerret Semantic ambiguity should be avoided by not using pronouns to refer to someone if someone else the pronouns could feasibly be referring to is named afterward. MDB is usually pretty good at catching that, so I got confused.
MDBAMA When you do slow runs like Shuckle ones, do you usually try to have a shorter, easier one like version exclusives in the week before or after, so that you can have more time on the slow run?
MDB…I just started this video and I cannot believe you attempted this, lol. I’ll be surprised if you make it. Gen 5 is tough and Shuckle is…well, Shuckle. Excited to see how it goes!
MDBAMA: In Unova play throughs, why don’t you take on Cynthia or Alder? You take on Red in silver and gold play throughs and Steven in Emerald. I’m gonna keep asking till I get on MDBAMA.
I don't exactly remember about Alder, but Cynthia is only there on Summer (Gen 5 uses not only Day/night cycle but also seasons change) so he would have to change the time on the emulator or PC to do it. So I guess MDB just feels is not worth it. But hey, we can keep requesting it and maybe he'll consider it or at least explicitly address why he doesn't.
One thing that may be useful to take note of as it might come in handy in a future black and white 2 challenge is that you can actually hit Ghetsis levitating Eelektross for super effective damage by transferring Mummy onto it from Ghetsis’s Cofagrigus.
I actually started a Playthrough of White Two today. I am doing a no starter run. I picked Tepig, named him Lord Tusk (Skyrim reference), and boxed him as soon as possible.
I think this is your most by the skin of your teeth run you even did it just short of max level lol good job.... Anyway can you do a heracross only run?
Hello. Here are several suggestions: A team of Pokemon only starting with M D or B in any Gen. Excluding legendary, pseudo and mythical, or pokemon not starting with that letter then evolving into to one that does. A team run, in any Gen, using moves only starting with M D or B. Or for solo runs, Pidove, Surskit, any Gen.
I am holding fast that the MDB Christmas gift will be the first challenge in Gen 6. Have we gotten a Gen 5 fossil Run? Also, I think a Feebas run would be cool. You pulled off a Magikarp run. You should be able to do Feebas.
I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is. For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.
You've got Assurance backwards. The extra damage only comes through if the target has already taken damage this turn, and I don't remember if entry hazards count. I can't blame you though, it's not like it's a good or common move.
@@phoenixblade8315 By that point, I think he was locked into Rollout, and so couldn't use another move. Then he'd get stuck in the rest -> get hurt -> wake up + attack once -> have to rest again rut. By which point he probably didn't even realize he could try clicking dig after hitting Klingklang at least once.
2:26 YES I DO KNOW I’m a psychotic loony who’s obsessed with natures and abilities and genders and many a time I’ve spent the beginning of my games soft resetting until the starter has the best nature, this one time in a Bug run of Pearl I finally found a Heracross tree and spent the ENTIRE day trying for a good nature with Guts but sadly it broke my will and had to settle for Adamant with Swarm And this doesn’t even come close to the countless Drilbur I had to scum in BW for a Sand Rush with an attack nature
Maybe try doing a randomized run where the encounters, starters and trainers will all be random so you won't know what you're getting into, and perhaps you can do nuzlocke encounter rules where you can only catch the first pokemon you encounter in each route, cave or forest
I noticed that Mah-Dry-Bread has yet to do a Pokémon run with only a pure rock type so how about Pokémon Emerald with only 1 Nosepass or Platinum with only 1 Bonsly?
Do you think Shuckle should get a new evolution or form? What would you like to see? I’ve always liked it since Johto and wish it was better, like a steel water type and it can make berry juice full time
MDBAMA: Will you ever truly do runs in gen 6? Fairy types, megas, it could be a fun time! And gladly, grinding isn't too awful, while TM variety is plentiful, and by gen 6 even cruddy mons least have decent movesets.
My speed barely increased at 3x speed in the NES game I was playing on my iPad Pro with a DualSense controller aka PS5 controller the game is Zanac A.i. it’s way harder than it looks i been playing it almost 2 days now I couldn’t beat the 2nd boss fight in Area 2!
22:10 i get that Klinklang _looks_ like it has Levitate, but it doesn't. It has Plus, Minus and Clear body (hidden ability). So you definitly made this fight harder for you
You're thinking of Revenge. The dark variant is Payback, which only requires you move before them. Assurance deals more damage if the target has already taken damage on the same turn.
@costby1105 Assurance does have a niche to further punish switching when you have Stealth Rock or Spikes up. Similar to Pursuit, except it hits the incoming Pokemon
Adamant doesn't matter at all for Shuckle. With perfect IV's, the difference between a neutral nature and beneficial nature is only 11 points. Just maxing out attack EVs provide 5 times that. More effective would be a Def/SpDef boosting nature (SpAtk/Spd reduction). That's a 50 point difference over neutral. And max out Atk and HP EVs.
After seeing you rely on Rollout building so much this run, I do have a minor question. Did you ever save around when Shuckle could get Rock Slide - be it from level up or TM - and see how that went instead, with your Power Split plan? Just curious because I feel that could have saved some time.
**Week 155 of asking for Platinum With Only Drifloon** I will never give up I know its coming eventually, it's just a matter of tradition at this point
I did this run in Black 2 a few weeks ago and absolutely hated every second of it. I failed the run at the final gym as I messed up with my moves, but I'm glad to see the run was doable. If you're still taking recommendations, how about a gen 4 with only a Aron?
Have you thought about doing a challenge run with only wonder traded pokemon? Like after every gym wonder trading your pokemon for a different one or just catching a full team and trading them all away for a new team. There would be less preplanning since you don't know what you are gonna get but they should level quickly.
I feel your pain, we're currently at about eight hours of sunlight in the UK with the shortest day still to come. Also, when will Shuckle receive some love? A new evo like Dunsparce (or a mega in Legends: AZ?)
Why did you decide to not use power trick? It makes your defense stat your attack stat and vice versa. It wouldve made so many fights full sweeps with rollout+dig. The defense being low is overlooked because of sturdy+lefties

Exactly what I thought, it only can be double power in doubles, right? Like Fake Out something and Assurance will do double damage
If im not mistaken I think it also does double damage if the user hits a target that switches in and takes damage from something like entry hazards.

There would be less preplanning since you don't know what you are gonna get but they should level quickly.
It's shuckle time
If you do a surskit run I will kidnap a water strider and...
Treat it very well 😁
I'd love to see a bw/bw2 Elgyem run
Can you beat Pokemon Platin or Emerald with only a Dragonair?
I feel your pain, we're currently at about eight hours of sunlight in the UK with the shortest day still to come. Also, when will Shuckle receive some love? A new evo like Dunsparce (or a mega in Legends: AZ?)
Why did you decide to not use power trick? It makes your defense stat your attack stat and vice versa. It wouldve made so many fights full sweeps with rollout+dig. The defense being low is overlooked because of sturdy+lefties
I wonder if the Ground gym would've gone better if you hadn't used Power Split on Krokorok? Probably not by much though
