To answer the level 0/3/5/8 question - as part of the damage formula, you multiply by your twice your level divided by 5, rounded down to the nearest whole number. What this means is that 0/3/5/8 are the points where you go from one whole number to the next after rounding - (14*2)/5 is 5.6 but (15*2)/5 is 6.0, which means you have a 5 instead of a 6 in the multiplier
The reason Pokemon always "rounds down" is because it just truncates any of the decimals so it basically ignores them to make the coding simpler. So 5.6 is just read as 5 and 6.3 would be read as 6 since it completely ignores the numbers after the decimal.
@@Prunky The architecture of the systems also is a factor. Look at how many early systems didn't have a native way to do division, multiplication, or both.
Reference to the anime where Ash’s (rarely seen) ‘rival’ is called ‘Garry’. In the anime Ash has a pokemon, pikachu, which never evolves into it’s mature form. Well, Raichu is the mature form of Pikachu, and as this is a Raichu play through Jrose has given a more elderly sounding variation of the names ‘Ash’ and ‘Gary’ to his characters.
Raichu may be one of the most disrespected Pokémon of all time. Pikachu gets all the love and admiration. Raichu was disrespected in the cartoon. Even Pichu gets priority. Raichu is the strongest and gets unloved stepchild treatment. What a shame.
@@RabblesTheBinx I would argue the regional form is a fundamentally different pokemon, and as such, is just another step-sibling Raichu gets overlooked in favour of. (Also looks like the Z-move is specifically _Alolan_ Raichu's, unless the OG has another one that bulbagarden doesn't mention, so bleh to that too. Bleh, I say!)
True... the light ball gives pikachu better offensive stats than raichu, but still gotta get an agility on pikachu to give it more speed. But I'd rather have a Raichu with some other held item like Life Orb or something. Raichu isn't bad at all. Competitively it's a lil niche but it can have a lot of viability
Why no mimic vs gym 8? You mimic dig, Dugtrio uses dig, you use dig, it misses while you are underground, then dig one shots. Then dig is super effective and 100 base power vs the last 3 Pokemon. Jrose taught me that and it’s what I always do in situations like this.
"I'm not gonna Raichu a love song cause you asked for it, cause you need one. You see, I'm not gonna Raichu a love song cause you tell me it's make or breaking this. If you're on your way, I'm not gonna Raichu to stay. If all you have is leaving I'm a need a better reason to Raichu...a love song...today."
@@hardcatsonly Except it's not. You don't need to spend a dime, kinda like Pokemon Go, another mobile game I played for a while, except with RPG mechanics instead of.... walking.
why don’t we just accept that maybe he does like the game? let bro appreciate what he wants to appreciate, he works hard enough, he can like something that isn’t pokémon 😭😭
The animated Raichu at the start was an immediate "Do you have a new editor??" Anyway, excellent video and great editing. It's so interesting seeing these stone evolutions
Glad to see you be in more of a production flow, and glad to see Sean being your editor for the foreseeable future! He's a cool dude and deserves the paycheck!
@@KingTKalimari well, I had: Venusaur, Charizard, Rhydon, Kingler, Raichu and Alakazam in my team. Opponents leading with sub/minimize would get destroyed by Raichu and Alakazam. Best moment in the tournament was, that my Kingler Bodyslammed a Victreebel that was switching in, paralyzing it and crowd starting to shout OH-KO, OH-KO, OH-KO. Well, Guillotine hit and it was an epic end to the battle.(OH-KO moves were allowed, because were playing on Stadium ) My Raichu was the reason I was in the Final battle, because it beat Chansey using mimimize. Tedious battle, and I was left like 2 PP in submission.
I’ve grown to love Raichu more and more over the years. Early anime made me hate him (He was always portrayed as a jerk in some fashion) . It wasn’t until DP that the first seed of change was planted, the lack of free thunderstone in the early game. I had caught a pikachu as I was want to do. But I couldn’t find the free thunderstone to sell. I hadn’t really played an entry where I couldn’t find the freebie after catching my pikachu. So I got curious, and mined in the underground for one. And it took me a week. A week that made me want to use the thunderstone on my pikachu. I can’t remember if I had used that Raichu, but that was the first instance where I felt that not all Raichu had to be jerks. Now I love Raichu, so it always warms my heart to see the Luigi of the Pokemon universe get more appreciation and screen time in videos like this. Cheers Jrose.
@@darlhiatt8136 He already knew, he's mentioned it before. He said he didn't know back when he started these solo runs in general, not that he didn't know when starting the Raichu run specifically.
(I know this is a lot of words, but I tried my best to explain this as simply as I could in a way that doesn't assume very much mathematical knowledge.) On the 0/3/5/8 level thing, there's a factor multiplied into the damage calculation based on the level. That factor is basically 0.4 x level (see footnote), except the damage calculation doesn't really do decimals, so this factor gets rounded DOWN to the nearest whole number (basically, the decimal portion is dropped; even today, this is the default way for computers to handle whole number division unless specifically programmed otherwise). I'll explain why the rounding occurs at those digits in two ways. First, let's see what happens if we multiply 0.4 by the numbers 1-10. 1 x 0.4 = 0.4 2 x 0.4 = 0.8 3 x 0.4 = 1.2 4 x 0.4 = 1.6 5 x 0.4 = 2.0 6 x 0.4 = 2.4 7 x 0.4 = 2.8 8 x 0.4 = 3.2 9 x 0.4 = 3.6 10 x 0.4 = 4.0 We can see that 3, 5, 8, and 10 are when the result became big enough to reach the next whole number. We can also see that there's sort of a pattern repeating every 5 numbers; see how the results of 6-10 are the same as the results of 1-5, just with an extra 2 added to each of them? That would keep happening if we extended the pattern, so 11-15 give the same thing + 4, 16-20 give the same thing + 6, etc. Since it repeats every five numbers, and five goes evenly into ten, we can know where we are in the pattern just by looking at the last digit. That means the final digits of 3, 5, 8, and 0 show exactly when the factor transitions from one whole number to the next; since the factor drops any decimal portion, that makes these the only times when the factor actually changes, for the purposes of the damage calculation. To think of it another way, consider what number you would need to multiply 0.4 by to get to each new whole number. Basically, \_\_ x 0.4 = 1, \_\_ x 0.4 = 2, etc. We can use division to find the answers to these types of equations, so we just want to divide each number by 0.4, and that'll tell us what level we'll need to be to reach that number. This gives us: 1 / 0.4 = 2.5 2 / 0.4 = 5 3 / 0.4 = 7.5 4 / 0.4 = 10 5 / 0.4 = 12.5 6 / 0.4 = 15 7 / 0.4 = 17.5 8 / 0.4 = 20 ... We can again see a pattern: we get numbers ending in 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 0. So, level 5, for example, is a cutoff point that changes the value of the factor; any level below 5 will result in something less than 2, and any level above 5 will result in something more than 2 (which may then become 2 after rounding). Of course, we can't be level 7.5, but we can still interpret the same way: any level below 7.5 will turn the factor into something less than 3, and any level above 7.5 will turn the factor into something more than 3 (before rounding). Level 8 is the first level after that cutoff point, so that's a level that changes the factor. Similarly, level 3 is the cutoff point corresponding to 2.5. To put it simply, the REAL pattern is that the factor changes every 2.5 levels, but because everything's whole numbers here, and the factor gets rounded down, we have to round up the level numbers to compensate. Footnote: the factor actually gets 2 added to it before it's multiplied in as part of the damage calculation, but that has no effect on the rounding, so I ignored it for the sake of making the explanation easier to understand.
Oh wow, wasn't expecting the timestamps and levels along the side! That's a great addition! Edit: or the E4 loss counters, or the animated Raichu! Love both of those as well!
I know the channel was around for longer than that, but I first caught notice of it on the R/B Magikarp run, and I love how it's just gradually turned into a thorough picking-apart of the game's mechanics to beat it with everything.
11:10 Man i love when editors chime in like this. Whether its Shawn, AJ, or JRose responding to himself, its always a fun touch that puts a smile on my face. Also really digging the stat tracker, very nice touch.
Some love for my chubby little baby mouse! Raichu is so underrated. So excited to be closing in on the big 100 too, love your videos Jrose! Proud to be here since day one!
I'll be 100% honest, I usually just listen to your videos...so I don't know how long you've been putting the badges, along with the level and time. Really really like that! Love your videos and your humor! Keep being awesome!
Hi Sean! Love the video Layout and the pokemon sprite! It's a really good concept to add to the video! Also, i love seeing the raid ad after the LONG tangent about it on stream!
My boy just did a 3 minute advertisement. You can skip straight to 3:50 and you won't miss anything important. The rest of the video is pretty neat as always.
Jrose almost convinced me that raid shadow legends wasn’t a complete waste of time and money. He failed to do this but he came closer than anyone else has.
You know, it's kinda funny how much of a roadblock Brock is in these challenges. If you have a super-effective move you're laughing. If you have a strong move that's neutral you're also laughing. If you have a strong move that's resisted you'll likely get through fairly quickly. If you have a weak neutral move you'll probably get through decently quickly. If you have a weak resisted move you're screwed. If you have to rely on struggle you're gonna be there for hours. Last factor is having a non-damaging move to pass turns of bide, well outside of the ones where you're forced to struggle.
As soon as anyone says they "love Raid Shadow Legends" while taking a sponsor from them; they immediately lose all credibility for all current and future sponsorships lmao The only people I've ever heard praise the game are the people being paid by them to praise the game. That said I love your videos, I immediately knew the flaws and struggles with an attempt with a Raichu. Very curious to see if it can out do Pikachu with it's higher stats; or if lack of level up moves will cripple the run beyond redemption. You are truly masochist.
I'm very glad you started adding time stamps for how well your soloist does after getting each gym badge. It kept me hooked and thinking about how well the next gym would go and how well the Pokemon was performing in general. (On that note, it's pretty funny that Raichu got 5 more badges in the time it took to get its first badge)
Ah Raichu, the black sheep (mouse?) of the family. I had hoped it would do better, but that won't stop it being my all-time fav Pokemon that I use in every Pokemon game I play.
For the damage rounding, it's actually pretty simple. After each division, the formula always ROUNDS DOWN. There is only one place where level is used in the formula. That's for calculating a "level multiplier", essentially. In that spot, it takes: (Level * 2) / 5. That means the level multiplier goes up by 0.4 every level.... But that rounds down. That means the multiplier only goes up on the levels ending in numbers you mentioned. At lvl 3, it's 1, then 2 at level 5, 3 at level 8, 4 at level 10, etc. That does get divided again later, but that doesn't change the above- just reduces the total impact on damage later on.
Ooh the sidebar edits are really nice! If you wanted to fit more in the blank bit, you can also include specific battles such as Brock/other challenging Gym Leaders, Rival battles (most notably Rival Fival), and everyone's favorite, THWTGAOGWKSD (That Hiker With Two Geodude And One Graveler Who Know Self-Destruct).
@@hendriktropartz7619 Scott's another solo challenger who focuses on optimization and going as quickly as possible. If I had to name a big three of solo runs, it'd be Scott, MDB, and JRose, in no particular order.
I tried Raid when the sponsorships started way back when and I'm someone who gets into mobile game rpgs or whatever you wanna call them quite a bit. I like afk arena and afk journey both, didn't stick with dyslite much despite being into the thematic but Raid? I didn't even last a week. It's been so long now that I can't remember why I didn't like it but I do remember liking very little about it. I don't think it's a bad game exactly but meh. I think we're all tired of the sponsorships. I am happy for you though, especially if you actually enjoy playing it. And as always: great content.
"I lEgItImAtLeY eNjOy RaId" Take the cash and get off your knees already, there's no need for that. Take notes from Internet Historian, you're insulting our intelligence.
Love the splits showing gym times and Elite 4 losses! those are going to be really interesting points of comparisons for other runs, especially those of us who don't tune into streams and have less perspective on "and then I lost to Agatha/Lance a lot"
YES JROSE!!! Thank you so much!! Raichu has always been one of my favorite Pokémon ever since I basically solo ran Red with a Pikachu/Raichu named Temujin as a kid. All your videos have been super important in getting me through college and into a job and this feels like the crowning moment for me.
In the context of a solo run.... yeah. The point of their tiny movesets was to cause a choice of "do I evolve my Pikachu now or later when it learns better moves?" But here you can't grab the moves on it as Pikachu, so it's just unnecessarily at a disadvantage. Then again... a lot of Pokemon in gen 1 don't learn moves until late because the game was very much designed as a classic single-player RPG with the multiplayer as sort of just a bonus. Like, Ponyta doesn't learn a move until its 30s because you simply can't obtain a Ponyta before then. And those don't typically get moveset exceptions for these challenges. I might have just made and unmade my point in the same post, oops :']
@@NeogeddonYeah, with file size at a premium and no breeding, there was no point wasting space on coding in moves on a learnset which will be overwritten before you can actually get one.
@@raineob4996 Still makes you think why Moltres gets Leer at a level where Zapdos and Articuno get Thunder and Blizzard. Like I get it, Fire Blast is Blaine's TM so it falls into the early "no Gym Leader TMs on natural movesets" rule, but why not Flamethrower???
6:00 im not an expert in math and how the damage calculations works, but from what i understand theres a part in the formula thats (2 x level x critical) / 5 so from what i understand gen 1 rounds down the damage, any number ending in 0 is a multiple of 5, so an integer 3 x 2 = 6, which divided by 5 is 1,2, rounded down to 1, while (2x2)/5 = 0,8, rounded down to 0 (5x2)/5 will be an integer of course, = 2 (8x2)/5 = 3,2, rounded down to 3, while (7x2)/5 = 2,8, rounded down to 2 so levels ending in 0,3, 5 and 8 are the numbers when you plug in the formula, will give a higher integer when rounded down, while 1 and 2 will be the same as 0; 4 will be the same as 3; 6 and 7 the same as 5; and 9 the same as 8
Rounding in Pokémon is always round down. The damage formula (and stat formula) has a “floor” function after every operation, which basically just drops the decimal always rounding down.
Hey Jrose, the thing is, because in the damage formula the level is multiplied by a factor of 2/5, and all the time in the damage calculation, the numbers are rounded down (the decimals are discarded), levels ending in 0, 3, 5, and 8 are the ones that take that "rounding down" to the next threshold (2x0/5=0, 2x3/5=1, 2x5/5=2 and 2x8/5=3)
The thing that really makes Brock so bad is that he's got pokemon with a type that resists normal at a point in the game when most pokemon just have normal moves and one or two of their starting type, and basically no access to TMs. So I'm not sure you can say pokemon that do poorly against him will always have that weakness, since a bunch can learn answers to those pokemon through their move list or TMs. It's just unfortunate, but that's gen 1.
I have to be critical about the RAID thing. While I understand that sponsors are good and are a money flow for content creators, it is among the most predatory mobile games out there. Not to mention that labeling it as a RPG is more than a stretch.
Someone out there has to enjoy it or else they couldn't keep sponsoring all of these videos lol. I've never met anyone who's even played it, but they must exist
I've met plenty who have played it, myself included.... it's "fun" until you hit the point where you have to either spend money or grind for weeks on end to Level up just to bear a campaign mission. Oh and that grinding involves nonstop play until you run out of energy, every time you max out on energy. So literally hours every day of getting zero progress.
I like that in the anime in Indigo League when Ash fights Surge, the tactic is that Pikachu can use its speed against Raichu since Surge probably evolved his Pikachu at such an early level he never learned any speed moves. Evolving a Pikachu early is never a good thing Love this one Jrose
It was meant to encourage waiting to evolve your pokemon until after it learns all it's moves. It gives the player the freedom to choose between powering up its stats right away or waiting until it learns certain moves first. The anime illustrated this perfectly in the episode where Ash fought Lt. Surge.
@@Morgil27 The problem is that the game doesn’t really explain this to you and doesn’t let you see the learnsets. And since this was Gen I, it wasn’t common knowledge yet and it was more difficult to look up information online, so a lot of the target audience ended up being confused as to why their cool new evolved Pokemon never learned any good moves.
Having the runtimes on the left for each badge is a great addition! Gives it a real speedrun vibe, even if the actual video’s a little more lax than actual speedruns
@@Jrose11a ROM hack you should try is Pokemon Fools Gold. It turns every Pokemon from Gen 1 to 3, as well as the Gen 4, 6, 8, and 9 evolutions of those Pokemon, into a new regional form. Some look slightly different, like Sentret, and some look entirely different, like Sneasel. Give it a try if you're interested.
20:40 if you had used horn drill on arcanine it would've failed because you're a lower level. OHKO moves always fail if the opponent is higher level, have a 30% chance to hit on equal level, and that increases by 1% for every level youre higher than the opponent.
The editing of this video is brillant. At the end with this animation and the ranking...it looks like it was made by a pro. And I like the additional information in the frames. I really like your content, JRose. Keep on going and have some fun completing this list
Doesn't matter if a person is new the deep dives into mechanics are a part of the experience. I still enjoy em. I think i pick up something new each vid. Also i like the badges and times added
I still remember all the convoluted steps I had to go through to get a Surfing Raichu back in the days of Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Stadium. Love seeing the best electric rat here today!
29:49 - As a fighting game player myself (Mortal Kombat fan here) I can confirm that this true but only for like 8-2 MU's or worse, if the MU is 6-4 or 7-3 than you can still win anywhere, even in majors, you just need to know that MU and put the work, but it's possible. Anyway, amazing video once again, and the color scheme is once again on point.
The Gen 1 Seismic Toss thing got me through a lot of ghost pokemon back in the day. The memory of that came flooding back when you mentioned that during the Elite 4 fight with Agatha...
I’d love to see a table of how Pokemon did if you remove the brock part of the run. It seems genuinely unfair to watch Raichu struggle so much due to movepool and type match up when it seems to fly in the rest of the game. I always had a feeling at the back of my mind that my Raichu when I was a kid was a strong ‘mon, I think on reflection watching what you’ve done with Raichu here, I was right. It is fun to watch your Raichu use body slam on Surge’s given the anime’s history too. Great video, thanks for sharing with us.
Bro, Ive been subbed to this channel for a long time, and I truly wish you the best, I want you to succeed as a creator, but you're gonna have to do it without my sub or views when you go so hard for Raid. As a parent these gacha games, which absolutely can be fun and free, are the BANE of my existence, and I can't knowingly support creators that give them this sort of endorsement. Good luck completing the series.

Raichu isn't bad at all. Competitively it's a lil niche but it can have a lot of viability

Why no mimic vs gym 8? You mimic dig, Dugtrio uses dig, you use dig, it misses while you are underground, then dig one shots. Then dig is super effective and 100 base power vs the last 3 Pokemon. Jrose taught me that and it’s what I always do in situations like this.

The animated Raichu at the start was an immediate "Do you have a new editor??"
Anyway, excellent video and great editing. It's so interesting seeing these stone evolutions
Yeah, stone(d) pokemon are too high(ly-evolved) to learn any new moves.
I'm sorry. That was terrible and I feel bad for saying it, hahaha
Victreebel also had an animated sprite. That was the first one I noticed
I absolutely love the badge lv and time layout. What brilliant change.
Glad to see you be in more of a production flow, and glad to see Sean being your editor for the foreseeable future! He's a cool dude and deserves the paycheck!
Raichu was in my team while reaching 2nd place in Finnish Nationals in 2001. Memories, anybody!?
Holy moly
Back in 99 (I'm old) I brought a Raichu to a mall tournament and got a W with him on the team. Not nearly as impressive as Nationals though haha
@@KingTKalimari well, I had: Venusaur, Charizard, Rhydon, Kingler, Raichu and Alakazam in my team. Opponents leading with sub/minimize would get destroyed by Raichu and Alakazam. Best moment in the tournament was, that my Kingler Bodyslammed a Victreebel that was switching in, paralyzing it and crowd starting to shout OH-KO, OH-KO, OH-KO.
Well, Guillotine hit and it was an epic end to the battle.(OH-KO moves were allowed, because were playing on Stadium )
My Raichu was the reason I was in the Final battle, because it beat Chansey using mimimize. Tedious battle, and I was left like 2 PP in submission.
@@mikkoollanketo4113 just more evidence Raichu is a scary pokemon to go against when you are over confident, it's a beast in it's own right.
@@mikkoollanketo4113daaaang I wish they had stream for that back then. Would’ve liked and subbed for sure 🎉
I’ve grown to love Raichu more and more over the years. Early anime made me hate him (He was always portrayed as a jerk in some fashion) . It wasn’t until DP that the first seed of change was planted, the lack of free thunderstone in the early game. I had caught a pikachu as I was want to do. But I couldn’t find the free thunderstone to sell. I hadn’t really played an entry where I couldn’t find the freebie after catching my pikachu. So I got curious, and mined in the underground for one. And it took me a week. A week that made me want to use the thunderstone on my pikachu. I can’t remember if I had used that Raichu, but that was the first instance where I felt that not all Raichu had to be jerks. Now I love Raichu, so it always warms my heart to see the Luigi of the Pokemon universe get more appreciation and screen time in videos like this. Cheers Jrose.
With this colour scheme, when the pokémon is at about 25% health, the health bar looks like a cigarette.

@@Briskeeen I tried it but it doesn't work
@@kumamarru5492user error
(I know this is a lot of words, but I tried my best to explain this as simply as I could in a way that doesn't assume very much mathematical knowledge.)
On the 0/3/5/8 level thing, there's a factor multiplied into the damage calculation based on the level. That factor is basically 0.4 x level (see footnote), except the damage calculation doesn't really do decimals, so this factor gets rounded DOWN to the nearest whole number (basically, the decimal portion is dropped; even today, this is the default way for computers to handle whole number division unless specifically programmed otherwise). I'll explain why the rounding occurs at those digits in two ways.
First, let's see what happens if we multiply 0.4 by the numbers 1-10.
1 x 0.4 = 0.4
2 x 0.4 = 0.8
3 x 0.4 = 1.2
4 x 0.4 = 1.6
5 x 0.4 = 2.0
6 x 0.4 = 2.4
7 x 0.4 = 2.8
8 x 0.4 = 3.2
9 x 0.4 = 3.6
10 x 0.4 = 4.0
We can see that 3, 5, 8, and 10 are when the result became big enough to reach the next whole number. We can also see that there's sort of a pattern repeating every 5 numbers; see how the results of 6-10 are the same as the results of 1-5, just with an extra 2 added to each of them? That would keep happening if we extended the pattern, so 11-15 give the same thing + 4, 16-20 give the same thing + 6, etc. Since it repeats every five numbers, and five goes evenly into ten, we can know where we are in the pattern just by looking at the last digit. That means the final digits of 3, 5, 8, and 0 show exactly when the factor transitions from one whole number to the next; since the factor drops any decimal portion, that makes these the only times when the factor actually changes, for the purposes of the damage calculation.
To think of it another way, consider what number you would need to multiply 0.4 by to get to each new whole number. Basically, \_\_ x 0.4 = 1, \_\_ x 0.4 = 2, etc. We can use division to find the answers to these types of equations, so we just want to divide each number by 0.4, and that'll tell us what level we'll need to be to reach that number. This gives us:
1 / 0.4 = 2.5
2 / 0.4 = 5
3 / 0.4 = 7.5
4 / 0.4 = 10
5 / 0.4 = 12.5
6 / 0.4 = 15
7 / 0.4 = 17.5
8 / 0.4 = 20
...
We can again see a pattern: we get numbers ending in 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 0. So, level 5, for example, is a cutoff point that changes the value of the factor; any level below 5 will result in something less than 2, and any level above 5 will result in something more than 2 (which may then become 2 after rounding). Of course, we can't be level 7.5, but we can still interpret the same way: any level below 7.5 will turn the factor into something less than 3, and any level above 7.5 will turn the factor into something more than 3 (before rounding). Level 8 is the first level after that cutoff point, so that's a level that changes the factor. Similarly, level 3 is the cutoff point corresponding to 2.5. To put it simply, the REAL pattern is that the factor changes every 2.5 levels, but because everything's whole numbers here, and the factor gets rounded down, we have to round up the level numbers to compensate.
Footnote: the factor actually gets 2 added to it before it's multiplied in as part of the damage calculation, but that has no effect on the rounding, so I ignored it for the sake of making the explanation easier to understand.
Hello new Editor, love the badge-level-time. Been wanting for years lol
Oh wow, wasn't expecting the timestamps and levels along the side! That's a great addition!
Edit: or the E4 loss counters, or the animated Raichu! Love both of those as well!
It's tragic to think what this run could have been if Raichu was able to start out with Surf from Stadium...
Still waiting for the brave soul to do a psyduck with amnesia stadium reward vs psyduck standard.
When I was a kid, I thought Raichu was a giant Pokémon because the sprite is very large.
Sometimes I wish Raichu was bigger. Thankfully Alpha pokemon being comically large solves this issue
I know the channel was around for longer than that, but I first caught notice of it on the R/B Magikarp run, and I love how it's just gradually turned into a thorough picking-apart of the game's mechanics to beat it with everything.
11:10 Man i love when editors chime in like this. Whether its Shawn, AJ, or JRose responding to himself, its always a fun touch that puts a smile on my face. Also really digging the stat tracker, very nice touch.
Some love for my chubby little baby mouse! Raichu is so underrated. So excited to be closing in on the big 100 too, love your videos Jrose! Proud to be here since day one!

Jrose almost convinced me that raid shadow legends wasn’t a complete waste of time and money. He failed to do this but he came closer than anyone else has.
You know, it's kinda funny how much of a roadblock Brock is in these challenges.
If you have a super-effective move you're laughing.
If you have a strong move that's neutral you're also laughing.
If you have a strong move that's resisted you'll likely get through fairly quickly.
If you have a weak neutral move you'll probably get through decently quickly.
If you have a weak resisted move you're screwed.
If you have to rely on struggle you're gonna be there for hours.
Last factor is having a non-damaging move to pass turns of bide, well outside of the ones where you're forced to struggle.
As soon as anyone says they "love Raid Shadow Legends" while taking a sponsor from them; they immediately lose all credibility for all current and future sponsorships lmao The only people I've ever heard praise the game are the people being paid by them to praise the game. That said I love your videos, I immediately knew the flaws and struggles with an attempt with a Raichu. Very curious to see if it can out do Pikachu with it's higher stats; or if lack of level up moves will cripple the run beyond redemption. You are truly masochist.
I'm very glad you started adding time stamps for how well your soloist does after getting each gym badge. It kept me hooked and thinking about how well the next gym would go and how well the Pokemon was performing in general.
(On that note, it's pretty funny that Raichu got 5 more badges in the time it took to get its first badge)
Ah Raichu, the black sheep (mouse?) of the family. I had hoped it would do better, but that won't stop it being my all-time fav Pokemon that I use in every Pokemon game I play.
Less black sheep even, just unlucky for its pre-evolution being the mascot and thus getting tons and tons of special treatment.
Really like the new additions of badge timings and elite 4 loss trackers. Great stuff
For the damage rounding, it's actually pretty simple. After each division, the formula always ROUNDS DOWN. There is only one place where level is used in the formula. That's for calculating a "level multiplier", essentially. In that spot, it takes: (Level * 2) / 5. That means the level multiplier goes up by 0.4 every level.... But that rounds down. That means the multiplier only goes up on the levels ending in numbers you mentioned. At lvl 3, it's 1, then 2 at level 5, 3 at level 8, 4 at level 10, etc.
That does get divided again later, but that doesn't change the above- just reduces the total impact on damage later on.
New editor Shaun really went hard on the additional animations here.
I love the retro style but down for some fresh takes on the classics.
Ooh the sidebar edits are really nice! If you wanted to fit more in the blank bit, you can also include specific battles such as Brock/other challenging Gym Leaders, Rival battles (most notably Rival Fival), and everyone's favorite, THWTGAOGWKSD (That Hiker With Two Geodude And One Graveler Who Know Self-Destruct).

I tried Raid when the sponsorships started way back when and I'm someone who gets into mobile game rpgs or whatever you wanna call them quite a bit. I like afk arena and afk journey both, didn't stick with dyslite much despite being into the thematic but Raid? I didn't even last a week. It's been so long now that I can't remember why I didn't like it but I do remember liking very little about it. I don't think it's a bad game exactly but meh. I think we're all tired of the sponsorships. I am happy for you though, especially if you actually enjoy playing it. And as always: great content.

Love the splits showing gym times and Elite 4 losses! those are going to be really interesting points of comparisons for other runs, especially those of us who don't tune into streams and have less perspective on "and then I lost to Agatha/Lance a lot"
Really enjoyed the new editing style!
YES JROSE!!! Thank you so much!! Raichu has always been one of my favorite Pokémon ever since I basically solo ran Red with a Pikachu/Raichu named Temujin as a kid. All your videos have been super important in getting me through college and into a job and this feels like the crowning moment for me.
11:16 "I'm not sure why he is either..."
I see you, Sean.
*adore* the badge progress with timestamps on the left, brilliant addition to your already excellent videos jrose!
Honestly I’d be fine with these stone evolution pokemon being modded to keep their pre-evolution level up movesets.
In the context of a solo run.... yeah. The point of their tiny movesets was to cause a choice of "do I evolve my Pikachu now or later when it learns better moves?" But here you can't grab the moves on it as Pikachu, so it's just unnecessarily at a disadvantage.
Then again... a lot of Pokemon in gen 1 don't learn moves until late because the game was very much designed as a classic single-player RPG with the multiplayer as sort of just a bonus. Like, Ponyta doesn't learn a move until its 30s because you simply can't obtain a Ponyta before then. And those don't typically get moveset exceptions for these challenges.
I might have just made and unmade my point in the same post, oops :']
@@NeogeddonYeah, with file size at a premium and no breeding, there was no point wasting space on coding in moves on a learnset which will be overwritten before you can actually get one.
@@raineob4996 Still makes you think why Moltres gets Leer at a level where Zapdos and Articuno get Thunder and Blizzard. Like I get it, Fire Blast is Blaine's TM so it falls into the early "no Gym Leader TMs on natural movesets" rule, but why not Flamethrower???
Would you do the same for Beedrill getting Poison Sting and Harden and Butterfree getting Tackle and Harden?
Nowadays they're super op because you can move reminder a ton of moves right after evolving
Thank you for including timers for gym leaders and the scroll at the end for placement. Much appreciated.
Idk what I want more… kadabra for the 100th solo challenge special or kadabra to finish off the series! Cannot express enough how much I love these!
6:00 im not an expert in math and how the damage calculations works, but from what i understand
theres a part in the formula thats (2 x level x critical) / 5
so from what i understand gen 1 rounds down the damage, any number ending in 0 is a multiple of 5, so an integer
3 x 2 = 6, which divided by 5 is 1,2, rounded down to 1, while (2x2)/5 = 0,8, rounded down to 0
(5x2)/5 will be an integer of course, = 2
(8x2)/5 = 3,2, rounded down to 3, while (7x2)/5 = 2,8, rounded down to 2
so levels ending in 0,3, 5 and 8 are the numbers when you plug in the formula, will give a higher integer when rounded down, while 1 and 2 will be the same as 0; 4 will be the same as 3; 6 and 7 the same as 5; and 9 the same as 8
Raichu is my favorite electric type. Needs more love
Rounding in Pokémon is always round down. The damage formula (and stat formula) has a “floor” function after every operation, which basically just drops the decimal always rounding down.
hi sean, love the editing!
Hey Jrose, the thing is, because in the damage formula the level is multiplied by a factor of 2/5, and all the time in the damage calculation, the numbers are rounded down (the decimals are discarded), levels ending in 0, 3, 5, and 8 are the ones that take that "rounding down" to the next threshold (2x0/5=0, 2x3/5=1, 2x5/5=2 and 2x8/5=3)
The thing that really makes Brock so bad is that he's got pokemon with a type that resists normal at a point in the game when most pokemon just have normal moves and one or two of their starting type, and basically no access to TMs. So I'm not sure you can say pokemon that do poorly against him will always have that weakness, since a bunch can learn answers to those pokemon through their move list or TMs. It's just unfortunate, but that's gen 1.
Really loving the timestamps and the little pokemon animation! Looks great
You almost had me in Raid, but you said "genuinely" one too many times
My guy Jrose got a Raid Shadow Legends sponsorship. Dude im proud to be here. You’re making it!
I have to be critical about the RAID thing. While I understand that sponsors are good and are a money flow for content creators, it is among the most predatory mobile games out there. Not to mention that labeling it as a RPG is more than a stretch.
Yeah, its a terrible game. I hate to see the possibility of more people getting sucked into that money grabber

@@FrogKaeruHe can get it, but I'm out. I wish him luck, but just can't support this.

Don't lie and say you enjoy raid shadow legends 😂
Someone out there has to enjoy it or else they couldn't keep sponsoring all of these videos lol. I've never met anyone who's even played it, but they must exist
I've met plenty who have played it, myself included.... it's "fun" until you hit the point where you have to either spend money or grind for weeks on end to Level up just to bear a campaign mission. Oh and that grinding involves nonstop play until you run out of energy, every time you max out on energy. So literally hours every day of getting zero progress.
I like that in the anime in Indigo League when Ash fights Surge, the tactic is that Pikachu can use its speed against Raichu since Surge probably evolved his Pikachu at such an early level he never learned any speed moves. Evolving a Pikachu early is never a good thing
Love this one Jrose
The whole "don't learn any other moves after they evolve with a stone" thing has to be the dumbest thing they did in the game
I find Nintendo event exclusives more annoying. Like how the heck am I supposed to get them now…
It was meant to encourage waiting to evolve your pokemon until after it learns all it's moves. It gives the player the freedom to choose between powering up its stats right away or waiting until it learns certain moves first. The anime illustrated this perfectly in the episode where Ash fought Lt. Surge.
@@Morgil27 The problem is that the game doesn’t really explain this to you and doesn’t let you see the learnsets. And since this was Gen I, it wasn’t common knowledge yet and it was more difficult to look up information online, so a lot of the target audience ended up being confused as to why their cool new evolved Pokemon never learned any good moves.
@artistfloor9 There are NPCs who straight-up tell you to hold off on evolution until pokemon learn certain moves.
Raichu should be able to start with the same moves as pickachu
Having the runtimes on the left for each badge is a great addition! Gives it a real speedrun vibe, even if the actual video’s a little more lax than actual speedruns

It's probably the noise gate, it's supposed to cut out breaths, but sometimes it's oftens the S sound. I can still hear it, but it's faint.
@@Jrose11a ROM hack you should try is Pokemon Fools Gold. It turns every Pokemon from Gen 1 to 3, as well as the Gen 4, 6, 8, and 9 evolutions of those Pokemon, into a new regional form. Some look slightly different, like Sentret, and some look entirely different, like Sneasel. Give it a try if you're interested.
20:40 if you had used horn drill on arcanine it would've failed because you're a lower level. OHKO moves always fail if the opponent is higher level, have a 30% chance to hit on equal level, and that increases by 1% for every level youre higher than the opponent.

I still remember all the convoluted steps I had to go through to get a Surfing Raichu back in the days of Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Stadium. Love seeing the best electric rat here today!
I love the data included on either side of the gameplay!
29:49 - As a fighting game player myself (Mortal Kombat fan here) I can confirm that this true but only for like 8-2 MU's or worse, if the MU is 6-4 or 7-3 than you can still win anywhere, even in majors, you just need to know that MU and put the work, but it's possible.
Anyway, amazing video once again, and the color scheme is once again on point.
That transition sound is pure pain. Please bring back the piano intro.
Just finished watching The Impossible Challenges Playlist and now you drop a new video, nice 😁
do u think jrose got paid extra for lying that he likes playing raid shadow legends?
The Gen 1 Seismic Toss thing got me through a lot of ghost pokemon back in the day. The memory of that came flooding back when you mentioned that during the Elite 4 fight with Agatha...
It was also the *only* way scyther was able to get passed Agatha because it only has normal moves
And thus, Jrose11 also fell to the dark side.
It seems nothing can stop the onlsaught of RAID...
I’d love to see a table of how Pokemon did if you remove the brock part of the run. It seems genuinely unfair to watch Raichu struggle so much due to movepool and type match up when it seems to fly in the rest of the game. I always had a feeling at the back of my mind that my Raichu when I was a kid was a strong ‘mon, I think on reflection watching what you’ve done with Raichu here, I was right. It is fun to watch your Raichu use body slam on Surge’s given the anime’s history too. Great video, thanks for sharing with us.
Bro, Ive been subbed to this channel for a long time, and I truly wish you the best, I want you to succeed as a creator, but you're gonna have to do it without my sub or views when you go so hard for Raid.
