    During the Norman fight, you should give your Dustox or any other protect user a leppa berry. That way, you get 20 uses of protect, which is definitely enough to stall his Slaking. Anorith can do this with rock smash. I know this video is kind of old now, but it would be cool to see you do Emerald again with more knowledge.

    I've found it helpful to delay my New Mauville encounter until after catching the Aqua Hideout electrode to guarantee magneton, especially if I already have an electric type like manectric or even plusle or minun for Winona.

      You can go an extra step and delay the spinda/magcargo/skarmory route to use magnet pull to try to get skarmory.

    • @michaelbrown7455
      @michaelbrown7455 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've been saying all this for years. Electrode, Magnemite with 50% chance for Magnet Pull for a 55% chance at Skarmory. Ultimately, this process leads to approximately a 26% chance for Skarmory. However, I have historically found Skarm to be less than useful after Aqua Hideout. So instead, I've been repel manipulating my Whismur encounter to be level 16 for an approximate 14% chance for Skarm, since Skarmory can only be found at level 16, unlike Spinda and Slugma. The odds are worse, but Skarmory is so much more useful during mid-game.

    • @jrobertsrhs
      @jrobertsrhs 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is what I did in my latest run as well. Plus, you can use the master ball you just got on the electrode so it doesn't explode and kill your Pokémon/lose the encounter.

    Something to note, when accidentally crit that Tentacool to death in Dewford Town you still had 3 more opportunities before Slateport! If you walk all the way east in Dewford you can fish in Route 107, you can also stop in at Route 105 on your way back to get the exp. share and fish there, and finally when you get off the boat on the beach south of Slateport that is Route 109 and you can fish there. So thats 5 total routes you can fish on to get Magikarp/Tentacool basically as soon as you get the old rod :)

    7:39 for some reason the Emerald AI will only use moves like Rock Tomb if you're faster than them. Once you're slower they won't use rock tomb anymore.

Your voice sounds pretty cool too, what makes hearing you speaking through the challenge delightful! You really managed well the Pokemon emerald challenges! Nicely done! Btw yesterday at night just the TH-cam suggested me your challenge in Emerald, can you believe it? I don't know why it didn't before. Anyway now I gladly watched it. Thank you bro! I wish more and more success to you! See ya 👍🏻

    25:09 you get 3 chances for those encounters in that area. 1. Dewford Town water, route 106 water and route 107 water. So you might have been able to get Tentacool in your 1st run (when you accidentally killed the one on route 106, could get another chance on route 107).

    • @grumpygengar22

      This is true but I do not allow rerolls on pokemon that I have killed in my ruleset, so that's why that happened. I probably should have mentioned that at the time.

    AI in Emerald likes to send out the pokemon with a super effective move on your pokemon, but is also weak to its typing. I have no idea why, but that is why Gyarados comes out on electric types for Wallace.

  • @jaimereupert4247

    3:13-3:18 I don't believe it counts as an encounter but more of a "gift encounter", on my Emerald Cross nuzlocke (it has an option to make the game automatically a nuzlocke or hardcore nuzlocke) (difference being, in hardcore you can't use items in battle and it deletes your save file whenever you white-out) and I was able to get a Wurmple as well as my starter.

    I've been watching a lot of your videos and got me excited to try Nuzlocking again. I tried once years ago and got destroyed by Wattson. But one thing I was wondering, when you level your Pokemon I've seen you do a lot of manual leveling getting EV's as you do. A lot of other Nuzlockers just hack in a bunch of Rare Candies to avoid the grind. Do you always EV train as you level?

    • @grumpygengar22
      @grumpygengar22  ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't always EV train, at least not every single Pokemon that I use, it usually just depends on the run. Im also always thinking about swallowing the rare candy pill one of these days. I know nobody would care, it's more of a personal thing for me. Some grinding is good in my opinion, it makes the world and the story/journey feel more alive and meaningful for me. There's nothing wrong with using rare candies either, it just makes the playthrough feel more like.. just a game I guess, rather than an adventure. I think I'll end up using them at some point just for the Pokemon league mostly I think.
