Something that might help you in these runs is learning about Damage Rounding Thresholds. There's a whole formula about it and detailed explanation out there, but the long and short of it is, when a pokemon with a lv ending in 0/3/5/8 attacks, they have better damage ranges then they would at other levels. So if you grind and aim for lv62, for example, you would be getting much better ranges at lv63 due to the weird way damage is calculated
it's especially true at a low level For instance at lvl 62 vs 63, the multiplier related to level n the formula only goes from 26 to 27. It's still a nice bonus but it's more impactful at say level 12 vs 13 where it goes from 6 to 7.
Articuno is the most regal of the three gen 1 Legendary Birds. Just like Suicune being the most elegant of the three Legendary cats in gen 2. (I know some people think they're dogs. They aren't since they have more feline features. I also understand that most people refuse to refer to them as felines and call them beasts instead. I refer to the as cats, sue me. lol)
Love these threepack challenges, especially in Gen 2. I started Pokemon at the age of 8 with Crystal. The three original legendary trios (birds, beasts and regis) are my favorite legendaries to this day and owning them back in those Gameboy Color and Advance times always felt special. No matter how bad they perform to todays legendaries
I always liked the Birds and their relationship to Lugia, but Entei/Suikune have always been the coolest, IMO (I guess by extension the beasts beat birds for me) That said, my favorite legendary is probably like Arceus or maybe Zacian (Zacian for style, not really anything else) though Lugia is pretty up there, too
I still have Zapdos and Articuno (from my original Leaf Green save) on Scarlet. I play around with the dogs but I don’t love them. I think I have the Regis in Home but I never liked them. I liked the puzzles but not the Regis themselves…
Lugia and Ho-oh would make a fantastic dual run to watch, and much as I want to see it, I'm even more curious about Celebi. It had such an unusual typing and move pool when it showed up, and it would be neat to see how that would play out. Mewtwo would just be a victory lap, and Mew would likely see no real change. It maintained an even stat spread, so the Special split will barely affect it. The only change it would see is a few new flavors for it's massive arsenal.
@@gregkareem9824damn is a pretty casual swear fella, but more importantly cursing in the Bible refers to cursing a person to heck, wishing bad on them, a bunch of bad things but foul language not being one of them. Cursing in today's vernacular is synonymous with swearing, but that wasn't the case when those dudes were writing the story up. Lastly, and by far the most important, you don't get to control others and you yourself sin every damn day. Keep your religion to yourself unless someone asks bro
Definitely want to see Lugia, Ho-Oh and Celebi runs. Less Mewtwo because we know it's gonna wreck everything. Mew could be interesting but just because it can learn any moves it wants so, while its stats are better than the dogs and elemental birds... they're all the same... BST 600 with 100 in everything. Anyways. Seeing a Jrose video is always awesome.
I wasn't expecting this video to show up, but I'm very happy it did! This was a very interesting watch, especially considering how differently the birds performed in Gen 2 compared to Gen 1 (I will say, I'm very surprised that Zapdos never learned Rain Dance to make its own Thunder infinitely accurate. It's likely that Jrose wanted maximum move flexibility though, just in case.)
Gold and silver wants you to use mudslap for its accuracy lowering. The next 2 trainers use moves that increase in power each time they hit, mortys most dangerous move is hypnosis and is weak to ground. I really dont think people should complain about uts use when its the intended play pattern.
Bugsy's Scyther ignore Ground Type moves thanks to its secondary Flying Typing. So that theory is only kind of true. But people will complain since they want freedom of choice and movement.
Except Mud Slap can't hit Bugsy's Scyther and by the next gym most kids have forgotten that they even have Mud Slap considering how many people got whooped by Whitney. If "use evasion cheese" is what you got out of it that's more likely than not just another completely unintentional mistake on the game design's end, like Brock basically teaching you that status moves are worthless due to his unreasonably large supply of retroactive full heals.
Certainly is interesting to see the difference between the E4 and Red. Articuno being so good at that point and just falling to Red. All it takes is one of Red's pkmn to just destroy
Your sponsor was actually very intriguing as I love water but only if it's close to ice cold... I have a water bottle that keeps it cold now but it recently broke. Might have to check out iron flask. It's funny that since you've gotten sponsors I have actually been super into all your promotions of them as they're all things I'd really be interested in (P3, Iron Flask, etc.) You seem to really be in tune with your demographics based on my experience... Keep doing what you're doing my man. Been subbed for a while and no plans to stop watching 😅
idc how butt juice the birds have become over time, articuno has always been my favorite ever since 6 year old me really thought that was just a pidgey chillin in gen 1 seafoam islands
If it makes you feel better Moltres and Zappos are still doing mostly well all things considered. Articuno not so much but occasionally has been niche in competitive scenes.
Articuno is possibly my favorite legendary, and is top tier in my books. Moltres is a gangster in GSC though, ever since my CC Nuzlocke where stumbling into it's cave when I did and catching it probably saved my run.
Parahaxs are only parahax when you paralyze the target with the secondary effect and then they are paralyzed that turn. It is not whenever the pokemon is paralyzed. The reason it's a hax is becaues the attacker had no chance of seeing the paralze hitting and you did it after the moves were already selected lol Just gotta say that. Love your videos man! Keep it up!
Yeah I agree, I always thought of a "true" parahax meaning you use a 10% para chance move and then you get the 25% "fully paralyzed" right after, meaning you hit a lucky 2.5% (1/40) chance event. Usually considered to be an "excessively, unfairly lucky" thing in competitive battling.
@@yesec9 That's true. Glad you wrote down the numbers because that's what makes it so lucky hahaha It's body slamming into a pokémon that will kill you if they attack, you paralze and then they fail to move. Stuff like that.
Can I make a suggestion to the editor for the future? Can you add the times on screen at different intervals when Jrose mentions them, just so we have a visual indicator and a comparrison?! I would like to see just how different the times are visually when he's at similar points in the game in these 'which is better' runs. It would just make it easier to see how well one Pokemon is doing compared to another, especially at that point in this video with the 6th and 7th gym leaders.
I suppose it'd be nice, sure, but who knows if Jrose even recorded those runs? Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. Or so he mentions off-handedly from time to time.
9:16 Miltank actually has 50% more Def (105) than Sp. Def (70). Moltres' better Attack stat and Wing Attack's higher base power, compared to Ember, means that they should pretty much be doing the exact same damage.
Really satisfying to watch this matchup being so much more competitive on Gen2! Gen1 was complete garbage for Moltres. Don't understand some people complaining about Zapdos not having Thunderbolt when it's already outperformed the rest by a mile. Electric+Flying is just such a strong type when it eliminates its ground weakness.
Awesome video. Surprised how good Zapdos did despite its best moves being Thunder and Drill Peck---but those are strong moves at least, just not accurate. Moltres was pretty surprising too, wonderful powerhouse there.
If you're looking for more triples to do these style of videos, I've thought of a few options: The three starters, fully or not fully evolved Ariados/Ledian/Yanma - Bugs with similar BST Tyrogue/Wooper/Igglybuff - Babies with equal BST Pupitar/Corsola/Sudowoodo - Rocks with the same BST Raticate/Dunsparce/Furret - Normal types with similar BST Ho-oh/Lugia/Mewtwo - All the legendaries Gyarados/Lapras/Kingdra - Water monsters Pinsir/Heracross/Scizor - Bug Battle
@Jrose11: the probability to miss any four thunders in a row is 1/37, since the first thunder miss is a given. Unless you specify them, e.g. "the next four thunders", then you include the first thunder and the probability is 1/123. This is an important distinction
Jrose after Moltres does well against Red: "If only it was good against the rest of the game".. It literally only really struggled against Lance which took ages?!
Wait.... Red's Venasaur vs Articuno. It started solar beam, you flew, it used synthesis, then after you hit fly it ONLY THEN it used the second turn of solar beam to hit. Did i miss something here?
Before I watch the video.....I'm going to guess Articuno wins. I say this because it's typing of ice and flying would appear to have the advantage over Elec-Flying or Fire-Flying. Yes, there are trainers with electric types, but there are no serious battles with a trainer that has fire types until Rocket Archer, Lance, Blaine, Blue, and Red. By then, Articuno should be strong enough, and have good coverage, to deal with those trainers. ***EDIT*** well now.....I couldn't have been more wrong lmao
I remember when the Legendary Birds were my fave Pokemon...and big shock Zapdos did the best of all the 'trio' Pokemon. If I have this correct, Zapdos is consider ABSURDLY cheap in Gen 2 competitive and that seems to reflect here as well. Poor Articuno being mostly shafted after Gen 1 until MAYBE getting a Galarian form in Gen 8. Articuno was my fave. But yeah, I liked this video quite a lot overall! I wonder if Lugia/Ho-Oh will be next.
Jrose, truthfully you’re the man. I always enjoy coming across your uploads. It really tickles the nostalgic part of my brain that misses simpler times and wishes I knew half of this stuff as a 7 year old lol
If you taught Zapdos Rest against Red like Moltres has, then you wouldn't even have needed that Drill Peck crit. Otherwise pretty cool. I already figured Zapdos would do the best in this but it's surprising how handy Moltres' high physical attack was throughout all this
I honestly don't know a good definition. It isn't exactly a luck thing, but it's like an uncommon occurrence that is perfect for what you need in a situation.
Dont forget you still have a couple of 1st gen solo runs to finish. Concentrate them on them and do these kind of runs later. By the way, if you want suggestion - how about checking which pseudo legends from ach of first 3 gens can finish their respective game faster? Dragonite for R/B/Y, Tyranitar for G/S/C and Salamence and Metagross for R/S/E.
When I was younger Articuno was my favorite due to the design while I didn't like motres much at all as we had many fire flying types running around. Zapdos I didn't like how it had no electric moves so I ignored it. Now Zapdos is my favorite as any electric type that is immune to ground is a hero in my eyes
Articuno won a world tournament recently! Zapdos was done dirty in BDSP. They took away Heat Wave, a move Zapdos relied on against steel types like Steelix and Excadrill
It's always amazing to me what you call bad luck, or exceptionally bad luck as with the case of Thunder vs Lance. To me, missing 4 Thunders in a row is unfortunately commonplace. I understand that the odds are pretty low, but negative things with low odds of occurrence tend to occur really frequently for me. Some of the things you call bad luck, I see as completely normal events in my experience. I have played a LOT of Gen 1 and 2. I have my own gaming channel with some things about it, mostly shorts. But I've been playing both gens since their original release dates, and I'm a little older than JRose. Blizzard is the #1 misser for me. Squirtle/Blastoise have been robbed of some great runs with accuracy issues. I DEFINITELY get Gen 1 misses way more often than JRose does.
Fun fact you can fly through GSC solo running a gyarados, I did it in 3:31 and I’m far from a speed runner so I’m sure it’s possible to do in sub 3 hours
When I was a kid I traded my Articuno from red to gold as soon as I was able to and basically used it to sweep the game, felt like such a genius (I think I may must have had an obedience issue, but had a good enough moveset that it didn't matter)
Literally only 12 seconds in and I'm already gonna say Zapdos > Articuno > Moltres. Because Drill Peck is OP and Moltres has a terrible learnset. But I don't actually remember off the the top of my head their learnsets in Gen 2 so I might end up being wrong.
Not at that point in the video yet, but it would be interesting to learn what Hidden Power each Pokemon *would* have had & discuss how it might have made the run play out.
One thing you never took into consideration when playing was the fact that you kept over leveling the Zapdos and Moltres and save all candies for Art which means it would have better game play if you would have been leveling it up as you went through
Hey dude, it would be super helpful if you put the times of each completed gym leader on the side of the screen as a good reference in the birds positions
Articuno and moltres’ typing really holds them back defensively. Especially since they don’t even get that much use out of their flying typing offensively

I would like to see just how different the times are visually when he's at similar points in the game in these 'which is better' runs.

I suppose it'd be nice, sure, but who knows if Jrose even recorded those runs? Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. Or so he mentions off-handedly from time to time.
Completely agree. Knowing times at different splits would drastically up the tension.
9:16 Miltank actually has 50% more Def (105) than Sp. Def (70). Moltres' better Attack stat and Wing Attack's higher base power, compared to Ember, means that they should pretty much be doing the exact same damage.
The Zephyr Badge also raises your Pokémon's Attack stat by 12.5%, as well as boosting the power of Flying-type moves by another 12.5%.
Really satisfying to watch this matchup being so much more competitive on Gen2! Gen1 was complete garbage for Moltres. Don't understand some people complaining about Zapdos not having Thunderbolt when it's already outperformed the rest by a mile. Electric+Flying is just such a strong type when it eliminates its ground weakness.
Jesus christ, I thought you got sponsored by water for a second there. Like, actual water, the beverage. I was about to be starstruck.

Awesome video. Surprised how good Zapdos did despite its best moves being Thunder and Drill Peck---but those are strong moves at least, just not accurate. Moltres was pretty surprising too, wonderful powerhouse there.

Pupitar/Corsola/Sudowoodo - Rocks with the same BST

crazy how moltres was able to one-shot rayquaza with the clutch crit at the end there
The reason articuno very suddenly started doing way better is because it went over a damage rounding threshold when it hit level 70.

Did not know where this would go. Been a nail biter lol. Good win for zaptwo
We need more frequent videos! It's rough waiting for the next one lol
Zapdos is the strongest, Articuno the prettiest and Moltres is the funniest 💪🏻
Love your videos, excited for what’s next!
Oh heck yea I needed this today.
imPeck-able timing as always Jrose.
Miltank has much better Defense than Special Defense, not the other way around.
So i actually already have an iron flask, got it last year for my birthday, that bottle slaps, can recommend
Jrose, truthfully you’re the man. I always enjoy coming across your uploads.
It really tickles the nostalgic part of my brain that misses simpler times and wishes I knew half of this stuff as a 7 year old lol
My sub feed was so dry... And then a wild JRose appears! Love ya brotha keep em coming
Woah! Gratz on the sponsor!
i bet these which pokemon duo or trio in a gen is the best vids will soon become a series
1:25 Iron Flask sounds like a paradox Pokémon name. Whatever it is, it would be either Steel/Water or Steel/Ice type.
Please do a Dewgong run. Seal the deal!
Awesome video as usual!! We definitely need a Ho oh vs Lugia run
If you taught Zapdos Rest against Red like Moltres has, then you wouldn't even have needed that Drill Peck crit. Otherwise pretty cool. I already figured Zapdos would do the best in this but it's surprising how handy Moltres' high physical attack was throughout all this
Ahh yes, the birds and the beasts
What does ‘clutch’ mean in these runs?
I honestly don't know a good definition. It isn't exactly a luck thing, but it's like an uncommon occurrence that is perfect for what you need in a situation.
Because of you I really got back into Pokemon playing rom hacks trying to do random challenges I love the content bro .
Dont forget you still have a couple of 1st gen solo runs to finish. Concentrate them on them and do these kind of runs later. By the way, if you want suggestion - how about checking which pseudo legends from ach of first 3 gens can finish their respective game faster? Dragonite for R/B/Y, Tyranitar for G/S/C and Salamence and Metagross for R/S/E.
Automatically cringed when you leveled up during a battle cuz I'm so used to badge boost glitch 😂
When I was younger Articuno was my favorite due to the design while I didn't like motres much at all as we had many fire flying types running around. Zapdos I didn't like how it had no electric moves so I ignored it.
Now Zapdos is my favorite as any electric type that is immune to ground is a hero in my eyes
Articuno won a world tournament recently! Zapdos was done dirty in BDSP. They took away Heat Wave, a move Zapdos relied on against steel types like Steelix and Excadrill
@@Kali_Krause yeah I don't get how pokemon can remove moves and especially ones that give pokemon balance
@@ivanbluecoolsome moves I can understand. Mainly stuff like Synchronoise that’s nigh useless anyway.
I was happy to see Moltres make a come back :) it’s my favorite of the 3
It's always amazing to me what you call bad luck, or exceptionally bad luck as with the case of Thunder vs Lance.
To me, missing 4 Thunders in a row is unfortunately commonplace. I understand that the odds are pretty low, but negative things with low odds of occurrence tend to occur really frequently for me.
Some of the things you call bad luck, I see as completely normal events in my experience.
I have played a LOT of Gen 1 and 2. I have my own gaming channel with some things about it, mostly shorts. But I've been playing both gens since their original release dates, and I'm a little older than JRose. Blizzard is the #1 misser for me. Squirtle/Blastoise have been robbed of some great runs with accuracy issues. I DEFINITELY get Gen 1 misses way more often than JRose does.
I was obsessed with these birds when i was a kid. I remember getting so stuck trying to catch Articuno.
Fun fact you can fly through GSC solo running a gyarados, I did it in 3:31 and I’m far from a speed runner so I’m sure it’s possible to do in sub 3 hours
I like never comment on videos, but I'm legit so excited to see this I had to let the world know
I been checking everyday for this let’s go Jrose 💪
Thank you Jrose! This video is a blessing
When I was a kid I traded my Articuno from red to gold as soon as I was able to and basically used it to sweep the game, felt like such a genius (I think I may must have had an obedience issue, but had a good enough moveset that it didn't matter)
I'm so glad to have a new Jrose video 🥹
Literally only 12 seconds in and I'm already gonna say Zapdos > Articuno > Moltres. Because Drill Peck is OP and Moltres has a terrible learnset. But I don't actually remember off the the top of my head their learnsets in Gen 2 so I might end up being wrong.
It is always a good day when Jrose uploads 🎉
Wut, thought about your channel 4 hours ago... Video is available from 3 hours. Thank you m8 ;D
Not at that point in the video yet, but it would be interesting to learn what Hidden Power each Pokemon *would* have had & discuss how it might have made the run play out.
2:35 you heard him
Hidden power makes the run too rng based and thus inconsistent, not fun and cringe
One thing you never took into consideration when playing was the fact that you kept over leveling the Zapdos and Moltres and save all candies for Art which means it would have better game play if you would have been leveling it up as you went through
Hey dude, it would be super helpful if you put the times of each completed gym leader on the side of the screen as a good reference in the birds positions
I think this is one of the few times where the in-game results are similar to the competitive scene. Usually this doesn't happen
I feel like you can save between elite 4 members. I wouldn't mind. Love your videos ❤
Articuno and moltres’ typing really holds them back defensively. Especially since they don’t even get that much use out of their flying typing offensively
A Dragonite vs Tyranitar run would be fun too
I would've liked to see the beasts' times at the end so that we can compare, since I don't remember them
Love your content man!
