      Love the videos! You should consider doing a plusle and minun run in one of the gen 3 games I think it would be an interesting challenge that I haven't really seen anywhere on youtube. Or an illumise and volbeat run would be interesting to. Now that I'm typing this I'm getting more and more ideas but like I'm rambling.

      Ash is the worst. Ever since I became good at Pokemon, I found Ash's stupid decisions so infuriating that I can no longer watch the show until they replace the protagonist with somebody that knows what they're doing.
      That and also it will always be a show meant for kids, so Ash will never make a move on any of his female companions, even if they make a move on him.

    Defo need to look at your options a bit more - grass knot probably would've swept that Steel gym.
    Not only are both Bastiodon and Steelix heavy enough for it to have 100+ power, but your max special would've been more useful there, plus it's not resisted like return is, AND they both have lower special defence than defence (stupidly so, in Steelix's case)

Over 12.5%. And he even had a shiny nincada to raise to get swords dance which he needed to bypass all the hax rolls on Pokémon 2-5.
