    Rules and Explanations
    Rules: (1) Only use the one Pokémon in Battle, others for HMs are fine. (2) No Items in battle (3) No Glitches* (4) Set Mode (5) No saving in the Elite Four (6) No evasion moves
    Badge Boost "Glitch" Explanation: When you collect odd numbered badges the game boosts a stat by 12.5%. Brock gives ATK, Surge DEF, Koga SPE, and Blaine SPC (in game text is wrong). When any of your stats are modified (even by you using a move like Withdraw, or your opponent using Leer) the badge boosts are re-applied. So If you use Swords Dance, you also gain *an additional 12.5% in Speed/Defence/Special (on top of the 12.5% you were supposed to be getting). When you level up, the game corrects this error, and only the non-glitch 12.5% remains. Because of how difficult it is to avoid, I've allowed for it to be exploited, since opponents will spam Leer/Growl anyways, and this way battles are less random. Red/Blue are extremely buggy, so there's always going to be some glitches present, and because of how unavoidable this one is, it is allowed in runs, and considered more like a special Generation 1 mechanic as opposed to a glitch.

    Interesting tidbit: sleep moves are guaranteed to hit if the target has the "needs to recharge" flag set, so when the opponent uses Hyper Beam (and doesn't KO you), you can safely use Hypnosis on them! It will even overwrite any status condition it already has, like Poison or Burn !

    Sabrina's Alakazam is the only Alakazam that will always go for recover because of Psywave. It being psychic damaging move that does not follow regular damage formula messes up good AI move prioritization in a way that doesn't occur in any other battle. Good AI will deprioritize not-very-effective damaging moves (i.e. psychic vs. psychic) only if there is a damaging move left it wouldn't deprioritize. Due to the special way of calculating damage of Psywave, good AI will both consider it as a damaging move it will not deprioritize, thus allowing the AI routine to deprioritize psychic-type damaging moves, and also deprioritize Psywave, leaving Recover as the only move it has not deprioritized.

    Exeggutor is part of the Stone evolutions, and like many of them the principle is that you're supposed to be able to evolve them at any point (even at lvl 1) but in return you sacrifice moves. Most of their lvl up moves are learned by their 1st stage, so when you use an evolutionary stone, you have to trade moves for stats (either you stay with a less powerful 1st stage mon to learn more moves, or you go for evolution at the cost of moves like flamethrower/Sleep powder/Hydro Pump). As such trying to beat the game with only an Exeggutor/Arcanine/Poliwrath would be like using your stone at lvl 1, which makes for a very suboptimal pokemon, hence the difficulty. This is the kind of Pokemon where the evolutionnary line is better as a whole than both stages by themselves.

      ​​@@darthparallax5207 But there is a cost to using TMs, because they are single-use. So unless you do the Old Man Duplication glitch and wait until Cinnabar Island, you're going to have to sacrifice TMs that would be very nice for other Pokemon to use. Exeggutor is a fantastic candidate for Psychic, but that means something like Magmar, Electabuzz, Gengar, Clefable, Wigglytuff, Butterfree, Lapras, Snorlax, Chansey, or Starmie miss out. Mimic is an even more painful ask. Earthquake (which Exeggutor can't learn) was the most painful choice prior to Gen 5, even with Egg inheritance being a thing.

      Although obviously that makes the "just Magikarp" run nowhere near as interesting.

  • @Isabelle-mp8rk
    @Isabelle-mp8rk 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +35

    The reason Sabrina's Alakazam spams recover and no other do it because of Psywave, it has a special damage formula that doesn't care about resistances and the game knows this. Smart ai pokemon only lower the priority of their non effective moves when they have an alternative damaging move either of a effective type of one of the ones that don't care about type. But because psywave is a psycic type move itself, it also gets a lower priority therefore making the highest priority move she has recover. It is very well covered in "Pokémon Red/Blue AI Tournament - Scientifically Ranking the Pokémon Red Trainers" by pimanrules

    • @matthewcummings5067
      @matthewcummings5067 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Just to explain this to people who don't get it:
      1. The game checks if Alakazam has any moves which are either super effective, neutral, or don't factor in types.
      2. Psywave counts as the latter, so the game moves forward with the instruction "Pick a move with a type that won't be resisted", as opposed to "Pick any move at random" which it would have done if it failed the check in Step 1.
      3. The game now looks for a move with a type that won't be resisted. Notably, this *doesn't* take into account if the move uses types or not in damage calculation, unlike in Step 1. This is what you could consider to be the oversight that causes this behavior.
      4. Because the game must select a move which has a type that isn't resisted, and the only such move Alakazam has is Recover, it is forced to select Recover.
      EDIT: After re-reading my comment, I should clarify that my comment doesn't mention the priority system the OP alluded to. That would technically be more accurate, but I just explained it in the terms I use to conceptualize the system. Just wanted to point that out for accuracy's sake.

      A 75 BP move going off its insane 125 Special instead of a 15/85 physical going off 95 Attack (30 points lower) would have been an absolute blessing, especially with all the poison pokémon in the beginning and how many pokémon tend to have better defense than special in the early game. How many psychic pokémon resisting it do you even meet until the rocket hideout?(where you'd find double-edge). The rival's Abra/Kadabra, the odd Slowpoke and Drowzee?
      While its issues in the late game won't be addresseed, the first half of the game would have been way better.

    • @imlrg9164
      @imlrg9164 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      Unfortunately, I don't think it'd be much better at all... About the only relevant moves that Exeggcute learns over their(?) evolution is Leech Seed at L28, Reflect at L25, and Sleep Powder all the way at L48. Exeggutor is actually a bit better off of you can believe it, mainly due to learning Stomp where its pre-evo can't. This thing's move pool is pure garbage, and it's still in the Slow level group.

    • @justanobody0
      @justanobody0 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      well it's obvious the pokemon were designed a certain way
      missing out of all of exeggcute's level up moves by having exeggutor at lvl 5
      or Moltres getting it's first lvl up move at 51, because you're expected to get Moltres when it's lvl 50, and normally if you have gotten to the point where you have moltres, you probably can go beat blain and get fire blast, especially with moltres
      like agility is a move that helps fire spin, and Moltres gets agility at lvl 55
      but if you play with a lvl 5 Moltres, you're 50 levels away from getting agility to help firespin
      while normally you're 5 levels away
      so you basically have to play the entire game without agility
      and if you play with a lvl 5 moltres, you'll probably beat Blane and get Fire blast before getting agility anyway (I mean that might happen in the regular game anyway)

    It's strange, but there's something so nostalgic about that early game when you're struggling to beat Brock, like you know the cusp of your adventure is right around the corner but first you have to prove yourself against the toughest opponent you've faced yet.

    And then remember the feeling of finally beating him and from there the game just flowed.

    It always seems to come down to movepool. Exeggutor being a Stone Evolution hurts it mightily because it gets ONE more move via level-up, Stomp at 28, so Brock is going to be horrible by default because only Normal moves (and Hypnosis). But after hitting Celadon and getting the Freshwater to go to Saffron to get access to Psychic, things should be much more manageable.

      Metapod is not going to matter, because regardless of whether it has Tackle/String Shot or not, it has nothing to hit Ghost-types, so the run is impossible.

    Pimanrules actually figured out that weird glitch with Sabrina's AI.
    Basically, the Smart AI down prioritizes a not very effective moves if the Pokémon has damage dealing moves that are normally or super effective.
    So against a Pokémon that resists Psychic, all Psychic Type moves are down prioritized if she has any damage dealing move that isn't not very effective.
    Psywave does qualify for this, so therefore all psychic type moves are down prioritized.
    This ends up including Psywave, so she ends up just using Recover.
