Venonat has got to be the most "just a little guy" Pokemon in the entirety of Gen 1. Just a round little dude that you could probably put into any RPG without it looking out of place.
I always find it interesting to see which pokemon will struggle against Brock. That being said, I expect that venonat would have done way worse. Either way, this was a fun run to watch.
This run honestly made me wonder how much faster/easier the run would be if 1. Venonat started with Leech Life instead of Tackle and didn't learn a move at level 23 2. Venonat started with Leech Life instead of Tackle and e.g. learned Confusion at level 23. Since the two things that made the early run quite miserable were Brock brick walling your tackle and not having psychic until level 43.
Bide could have potentially been used to take out Misty's Starmie earlier on or help against Charmeleon at Rival 3. Venonat could live 2 embers at max hp and bide always hits, so sand attack wouldn't have interfered provided you could get to that point. Not sure if either of these changes would have mattered in the long run though.
You could have used Mimic on Agatha to learn Dream Eater and spare some Psychic’s PP. you were already using Sleep Powder and Dream Eater is both super effective and restore HP.
Dream eater is only 10 more base power and requires an extra turn of set up. Plus no 33% chance of lowering special. Granted it could've made the battle more consistent.
@@cherry9787Don't matter, it's still the better choice, he was even risking with Leech Life just to restore health to stay outside Night Shade range, risking wake ups. Dream eater negates all that risk.
One bit of feedback as the tier list keeps getting l longer, it would be nice if you could highlight the one being added. It can be hard to find them on the screen sometimes. Something as simple as a colored box around the cell in the table would be great
It still bothers me how obviously they swapped Venomoth's and Butterfree's families, given the eye similarities between Venonat and Butterfree. I do still like the design of both families though... well, except Metapod...
Colour palette was on point here. Was like grape pop and cream soda, really pretty! Absolutely miserable run though. That string of bad luck on the Sabrina and Blaine attempts hurt (not even counting the champion and Brock). I think Venomoth will be shockingly good too, so here's hoping!
I think this is the first time in my life that I've seen Venonat's back sprite, and I played Red as a kid when it came out! Thank you JRose for the hours of frustrating entertainment and showing us everything we missed in this great game of all our childhoods. Also, love the sly Nat King Cole reference with the names
I think the reason bug is so underpowered in gen 1 because it's actually great against a large portion of the game. Ive done scyther and Pinsir runs where I would change cut to a bug type move and it makes both of them hilariously overpowered
Iirc wasn't Bug strong against poison in gen1, weirdly, so it's literally all the rockets too. (aside obvs weakness to them, but poison bug esp, back to neutral)
@@rajkanishuNo they literally just used a GameShark or the like to turn cut into a bug type move. Cut is not a strong base power move so it just goes to show how ridiculous these mons would be if they had access to any bug type move at all.
I’m so used to Venonat learning Confusion that I was waiting for Jrose to say “and this is when we get Confusion and make Brock trivial” but sadly that part never came…
This is basically "if Weedle/Caterpie had actual moves". Leech Life being useful was the last thing I expected, nice job; I wouldn't have thought of it.
I feel like most of gen 1 is designed to teach you to play Pokemon games and Weedle/Caterpie are meant to teach you to evolve cuz in early game Beedrill and Butterfree slay. But then again, in the whole game metapod and kakuna are trash which might make you second guess evolving. So. Idk. Good talk, bro 😅
1:28 It's those reactions to the gameplay that makes me wonder if Jrose records the audio after or during the gameplay... or maybe both. His response to getting two crits in a row is just so genuine lol
no chance he remembers exactly everything that has happened in every battle on every attempt, he simply genuinely reacted to that moment during voiceover
I always kind of cheer for Leech Life to stay up until the end, it is a bad move overall, but considering the lack of bug moves and how it's not often bug types get stab, it feels nice to see it until the end, like cheering for the underdog to overperform.
I got it randomly for my current run and I must say I love it. Except for boosting moves, it's full of resources and its design is great, so even with the hassle of defeating Brock, I think I'll enjoy this one.
Before watching, I just wanna say that this has always been my favourite pokémon ever since gen 1 when I was 3 years old, so this is a big day for me! :D Edit: ok, this was a nightmare. I'm so sorry and I'm not sure who to direct it towards more, Jrose or Venonat.
Venomoth is one of my favourite pokémon aswell, and I was actually baffled that I hadn't used it in any run yet - turns out this is very easy to explain since I just realized that aside from Kanto/Johto, it literally never was available before the national dex until *finally* Scarlet/Violet. What a shame.
@@youtube-kit9450 Huh, I didn't even realise. Tbf, there are a lot of early route bug pokemon that have cooler evolutions, so I don't think it's that much of a shame, but it would be nice if they gave Venonat something nice soon. Like a branched evolution or even a third one that resembles the first stage a little more :)
Ah. As a kid I wouldn’t even bother catching a Venonat because I thought it was useless. When Fire Red/Leaf Green came out I decided I was going to try a team of Pokémon I hadn’t used before, and ended up falling in love with 3 of the “useless” Pokémon I spent years neglecting. I still have a soft spot for Cloyster and Exeggutor, but Venomoth has been on every team I’ve used since then. This video brought back so many happy memories.
I'm not one to enjoy your pain normally but the champion fight was super entertaining for just how bad the luck was this go around. looking forward to your next video!
I love how you can hear the madness settling in during the E4 runs. This is probably one of the most painful runs I’ve ever seen done with this sheeeesh
I love Venonat, it's my favourite bug mon, if not my favourite overall, so cute, so funny looking.💜 If I could have any Pokémon as a pet, I would choose it.
Recently I used a Venonat/Venomoth on my team in Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu. I named her Verona and tbh she wasn't my first pick. I was going to use Mr Mime as my go to for Poison types but unfortunately in Gen 8 Mr Mime is part Fairy type so he gets one shot by sludge bomb that surprisingly a lot of trainers with poison types have. Verona actually remained on my team till the end of the elite 4. She was kind of out classed by some of my other Pokemon but I did rely on her to defeat two of my Rivals team. If you are using a Venomoth in a team run it could be a valuable Pokemon and I was surprised by how much I used Verona. Verona's psychic took out any poison type and her sludge bomb took out any psychic type she was faster than which seemed to be every family except the Abra family, and it was a good answer for fairy types.
Tried this challenge in Yellow and even that took me ages before the first gym and until the mid 90s to beat the game, I can’t imagine how hard red/blue will be
This is such a cool series. A little late in the game- but you should do a randomizer at the end of each video to choose which one you do the next run with (depending how far ahead you are compared to the videos that are released I suppose). That would give it another layer of excitement and challenge!
54:42 my best lolllll. Love you so much on these vid. And my 3 favorite pokemon are geodude, venonath and chansey, so glad you finnaly used all of them
Haaii JRose, sleep hasn't been with me, insomnia is kicking my beehind. Thanks for the uploads lately, that sweet dose of nostalgia has kept me entertained and engaged on long form content! Thank you for being (basically) back and hope you are doing way better than me, altough doing this with a Venonat sounds like hell 😅
I know that it was very frustrating to play, but I don’t think it was overly unlucky? Needing to sleep powder 5 of the rival’s pokemon, plus avoiding them waking up too early, crits, and other rng like leer, I think the strategy was just doomed to be miserable. Maybe at level 90 or something it’d be more consistent, but that’s also a huge time sink.
In the future, if another Pokémon takes a long time on Brock it would be cool to have the Mewtwo run play in the corner to show have far it progressed in the same time P.S. Great run, as always!
Man, could you imagine how different this run would be with the version of Leech Life in the newer era games where it has way more base power (if I recall it has 80 instead of gen 1’s 20 base power)? The Brock section would still have been suffering, but the improved Leech Life would basically be the “Body Slam” this run needed until getting Psychic.
This should be a interesting run. I honestly might have took Psybeam over Psychic here just to for the confusion as well not many moves it can have . Iam interested again to see what you come up with to win again
Let’s go another Jrose video! Came in thinking maybe it would be good since it probably got physic. But looking at the length and stats at beginning it’s not looking great…we shall see. Anyways thanks for another quick video, you’re the best! Time to enjoy
It's equal parts amusing and frustrating seeing jrose slip into his younger self's 'gotta do absolutely minimum battles with this pre evolved pokemon as if it's mewtwo' and the game's RNG going 'how many times do I have to teach you this lesson!?' in being utterly pitiless.
Disable has a 55% chance to hit. Foes with 2 moves 27.5% chance to disable the intended move. 3 moves? 18.3%. 4 moves? 13.75%. X Accuracy makes it 50%, 33.3%, and 25% respectively. We're about halfway there to 151.
Venonat wiping out viridian forest's bug pokemon population during training seems like an invasive species situation lmao
Venonat even looks like one.
Like the aisan long horned beetle 🪲 😂
I could totally imagine an episode of the anime about that
It makes 0 sense why venonat n paras werent viridian forest like viridian forest encounters should be here's your bugs
Have onix instead of paras in Mt moon also Mt moon should have allowed reentry from cerulean city
Have rhyhorn in the rock tunnel instead of safari zone
Have drowzee in lavender tower because they're creepy in a creepy tower instead of route 13
Throw some sandshrew n sandslash in diglett cave but make it low encounter rate
And why just tentacool n tentacruel on surf add a gyarados seaking poliwhirl
And why raticate in the mansion instead of fuschia or cycling road the mansion should have all the fire types be it's one stop shop
Victory road should have chansey to allow easy grinding for a full playthrough with 6
I agree with most of this, the mansion I think is pretty well stacked though

Hey now it was 23 minutes. Put some respect on the name.
Wasn't that pidgey?
PRETTY sure when you pick this mon as a starter 8badges are gifted the elite 4 kneel and the credits begin running for a 120second run
I always find it interesting to see which pokemon will struggle against Brock. That being said, I expect that venonat would have done way worse. Either way, this was a fun run to watch.
This run honestly made me wonder how much faster/easier the run would be if
1. Venonat started with Leech Life instead of Tackle and didn't learn a move at level 23
2. Venonat started with Leech Life instead of Tackle and e.g. learned Confusion at level 23.
Since the two things that made the early run quite miserable were Brock brick walling your tackle and not having psychic until level 43.
Bide could have potentially been used to take out Misty's Starmie earlier on or help against Charmeleon at Rival 3. Venonat could live 2 embers at max hp and bide always hits, so sand attack wouldn't have interfered provided you could get to that point.
Not sure if either of these changes would have mattered in the long run though.
Bide's one of those moves that you try your hardest to forget about and end up not realizing the usefulness of it until its too late 😂

Sure am glad Jrose is gonna do a separate video for every pokemon in every generation in which they appear!
Venonat and Venomoth are so underrated, always loved them since gen I.
Really have to agree. Such an ideal design for a fun cartoon critter!!
I always REALLY liked the Venomoth from the original trading card game (also the TCG Gameboy game).
It still bothers me how obviously they swapped Venomoth's and Butterfree's families, given the eye similarities between Venonat and Butterfree. I do still like the design of both families though... well, except Metapod...
If by underrated, you mean garbage, then I agree.
Moth might be underrated, but Nat is not
This Venonat run gets the OG Bug Catcher official stamp of approval! 👍
venonat not getting confusion in R/B really hurts its viability. no wonder this run was pain.
Oh yeah it gets Confusion in Yellow doesn't it
@@joefarrow1599not sure about yellow but in gen 2 it definitely does, poor little dude. One of my fav mons
