This is no longer part of the speedrun but they used to set up an X Attack on the turn Bruno's Hitmontop Digs. Then Earthquake it for Super Effective damage essentially. Then they replaced Earthquake with Return/Strength. Werster comes up with some good strats.
Fun fact: In XY and onward moves that deal double damage against minimize also ignore accuracy check against the shrunken opponent they also keep changing which other moves get the double damage. It's not even consistent Heat crash get it Gen 6 but Heavy Slam doesn't until Generation 7.
Lol, when you use Minimize stomp does double damage. Similar to how when you use Fly and Thunder becomes 100% accurate, Earthquake doing double damage on Dig users etc.
@@dustinarnold5569 Is magnitude doubled or does it deal Mag10 roll damage regardless of what comes up if you’re underground? I think it’s an auto 10 isn’t it?
I am so pleased to see you doing Gen 2 runs. The nostalgia hits hard. Fun fact: your mom doesn't actually spend your money when you ask her to save it. The stuff she "buys" are just gifts that you receive when you hit a certain threshold of money saved.
Spongebob: Oh no Mr. Krabs, she's single. Mr. Krabs: Then what happened to Mr. Puff? Karen, petting her Umbreon: She doesn't like to talk about it. 🤷♀️
14:40 Btw If the target has used Minimize, Stomp deals double damage. It should also ignore accuracy but in Gen 2-5 this doesn't happen. So yeah minimise was not a good idea against miltank lol.
that Venomoth type edit at 23:05 was pretty amazing, but I'm not going to be fooled - Venomoth didn't get it's fairy typing until Gen Vi, at this point it was still a Poison/Psychic type
"Qwilfish deserves some love" Controversial decision to make a video where you create a Tinder profile for Qwilfish and spend 40 minutes swiping, but I support it! Hope you don't get catfished!
@@jennytalia6724 Yes really. The more pokemon the enemy has, the more that will take damage from spikes since you'll be fighting all pokemon the enemy has. If an enemy has 2 pokemon, setting up spikes probably isn't worth it, while if they have 6 pokemon it is. Also, it's 1/8th their HP. Also also, spikes never does bonus damage based on type, it isn't Stealth Rocks.
@@Acacius1992 Everyone always talks shit about Treecko but he is easily my favorite Hoenn starter. Plus, Leaf Blade is such an iconic signature move, even if it’s not exclusive to Sceptile.
@@ultimatehope549 who talk bad about it? I like it but it's not my favorite grass starter, in my opinion Decidueye is cooler and has an interesting typing.
@@vergillives9890 I have, various times actually LOL! It's a pretty solid mon to use and it's coverage is pretty awesome, it's usually my water pokemon whenever it's in game. I mean, how many water pokemon can use grass.. fire.. electric, ice and water moves ;D
Slowly speeding up my production process. It got longer and longer as quality increased and now I'm finally able to focus on efficiency. Soon I'll have a life again and the content will continue at this pace!
Guys, come on. Let's be rational about this. Venonat, right? It shows up in the bug catching contest, which means it's a Bug type. And Koga uses them in Yellow, which means that it's a Poison type. So Venonat is a Bug/Poison type. Now, Venomoth doesn't show up in the Bug Catching Contest, so that means that it can't be a Bug type. And since both Koga and Sabrina use Venomoth, that means it HAS to be Poison/Psychic.
Stantler is supremely underrated. I thought he was super cool when I saw him, and I couldn't understand why no one seemed to like this cool antler pokemon.
Yeah there are a lot of two stage water types in gen 1. I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. I've got an interesting idea that I think will be really fun to try out!
As a Slowpoke fan, I thank you for saving our beloved pink hippo. And hopefully we can expect a Slowpoke run in the future... maybe a Slowbro vs Slowking run for gen 2
About Kenya : You can put his mail in your PC then attatch it to any other pokemon and deliver that other pokemon instead. So you can both finish the quest and keep the spearow. The NPC does say he doesn't care about Kenya, only the letter.
If you’re only trying to progress dialogue boxes, and you really insist on spamming a button, the B button is a far better button to spam. It still advances the text, but it won’t do anything upon returning control to the player, outside of yes/no prompts.
I understand the confusion with Venomoth. I keep thinking Kangaskhan is a Normal type for some reason, but Giovanni has one, Lance has one in Stadium, and it's clearly related to Cubone, so obviously I should remember that it's a Ground/Dragon type.
"I'm planning a run with Sneasel" I've used a lot of Pokémon in these games and can say without a doubt that Sneasel is one of the worst Pokémon to use in pre-Physical/Special split, the only thing that trumps it is Yanma. Even when I used Unown it was better. Good luck, I'll wait anxiously for that run!
Sneasel is bad, but its not competing for actual worst Pokemon either. Its quick, has a great attack stat, yes it cant use its attack stat for dark and ice, but it still can do a job with return, shadow ball, dig and iron tail (?).
@@et34t34fdf The region isn't kind to Sneasel. It will need to break through Steelix with Dig or Surf (obvious move deleter situation later). The entire Ghost Gym, Miltank's Rollout, the Fighting type gym. Maybe DynamicPunch or Fury Cutter as situational moves
@@tylerd1297 Actually, ghost gym wont be that tough. You get dig before the ghost gym, and ghosts are frail, maybe the gengar will be dangerous, but the others will be taken down quickly, i think. Miltank? Tough one, i guess dynamic punch is the best option here. Steelix sounds like the most difficult one tbh, may need to overlevel a bit to beat this one. Fighting gym isnt that hard, poliwrath uses dynamic punch, it only needs to miss a couple of times.
@@et34t34fdf right about Dig, forgot that but Dyn-Puncb is from the Fighting type gym which you can't do before Whitney. Headbutt is the strongest move except a High Power Fury Cutter Fighting gym is hard for frail Pokemon; even if it doesn't get hit by a super effective move. That's Sneasels biggest problem really, neutral attacks do tons of damage and 95 Attack is equal to a Pokemon with about 60 using a Stab move.
"Starters like Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip are also mono-types at the start, but their final evolutions are dual-types" Um, pretty sure Sceptile is still a mono Grass type lol
I think he got confused because of the Mega Evolution that Sceptile got in the remakes. In those games, Sceptile can Mega Evolve into a Grass-Dragon type(just like Venomoth), but in Gen. 3, that's not possible.
Not only did they do no such thing but you’re wrong on both counts. Its bug/poison and it has ALWAYS been bug/poison. You can go check every generation from 1 to current and its typing is the same.
Can you do a Weavile vs Gliscore gen 4 run, I'm pretty sure they're semi counterparts since they both evolve in similar ways and have the same base stat total
When i play Gold for the frist time, i thought that Quilfish evolvs into Octillery^^. Was really sad, that he won't evolve. After Years i learned that Remoraid was the one^^. What a sad Story ;D
The reasoning is that in the original idea for the two, Remoraid would have more resembled a gun, and octillery would have been a tank. But to keep it rated E they took the ott design aspects and made them more natural looking
Hey Scott, it's been awesome watching someone around my age play pokemon again. I enjoy jrose, mahdrybread, and a few others, but you seem the most genuine out of all of them. Your content is quickly becoming my favorite when it comes to pokemon, and your editing is entertaining. You're doing such an awesome job and watching your journey from a newbie to a pokemon master has been a real pleasure. Keep up the good work, and I'll be sure to watch every single video you upload!!
Thanks so much silvershield121 I really appreciate the kind words! Glad you're enjoying my content and my journey. I'm learning so much about the game, myself, and content creation with every video. Thanks for joining me!
I have to admit, your types of jokes don't resonate with me, but I'm fascinated by your dedication and how much work you put into it. So it's enjoyable to watch anyways :) Good luck on your next run
Catching up on a few older uploads. Your girlfriend has amazing taste with Mareep, that evolution line is my favorite by far for Gen 2 The Neo Genesis Pokemon card set had a great Mareep card featuring the classic Ken Sugimori art as well for the little static sheep.
I think that spikes can be useful, because It does damages when a pokémon enter in the field, not necessaraly in a switch, but Also when you defeat a pokémon and The trainer has to choose another pokémon From their team.
Fun fact: I don't like water types very much... but out of all of them, I think I like all the ones introduced in Gen 2 for some reason. Not counting the water starters, of course, which I usually somewhat like as well despite the fact that I mostly prefer the grass type ones. I mean... Grass types have such cool designs, like Venomoth! But yeah, Gen 2 Water types are kinda weird and derpy which makes me like them for some reason. Chinchou and Lanturn are the cutest fishes and you can't convince me otherwise. Also, Wooper is obviously the most supreme Pokémon in existence.
WOW!!! This guy is great at the game. He really has a good thought process around the game and he puts together really intelligently done videos. The data and the methodology and stuff is rigorous and we trust his results.
I learn so much about the early gen games this way. I didn't start playing pokemon until fire red and leaf green. It's nice to see the way it all began.
Random thought- One thing I always thought is that making Dark type moves special attacks was an error. Literally all of them are contact moves from Gen 2-3. Most introduced Dark Types in this generation also have higher attack than special attack, barring houndoom. Even Umbreon has very slightly higher attack than special attack. Most psychic types have lower defense than special defense. Dark Types were created to balance Psychic types. Sneasel is one of the worst Pokémon battle-wise in Gen 2 and it didn’t have to be. Also, ghost being physical, wtf? Yeah that helps vs psychic types but there’s only two ghosts Gengar and Misdreavus. Both have higher special attack than attack.
Scott's Thoughts: "There's got to be some cheese and Miltank joke in here somewhere" Me: Challenge Accepted... I don't think using Roll-out on Whitney's Miltank is a gruyere idea at all.. there's absolutely no Whey that could work out for you! But hey.. if that's you Feta-sh then i'm not one to kink shame... I think I should stop now....
So happy to see such unloved Pokémon such as the speedy dragon slaying 'sea urchin' that is Puff get some spotlight. I've learned a lot of interesting info from this video regarding Gold/Silver and I hope you learned now that minimise increases the damage received from Stomp (that was a painful thing to witness you do... repeatedly). I look forward to more of these!
Legit had to look up Venomoth after watching 6 of your videos this weekend and questioning my own sanity. Glad it reinforced my gut "steel / dark" typing from Gen 1
I made a ROM hack of G/S where Qwilfish evolves into Shibirefugu at level 18, a nod to it's beta design, Puku, which evolved into Shibirefugu at level 18. In the ROM hack, Qwilfish's stats were lowered to 335, and Shibirefugu's base stat total is 460.
Pfffft, thinking Qwilfish is a sea urchin- everyone knows it's a water hedgehog! 🤣 For real though, I'm impressed at just how decent Qwilfish can be- I'm guilty at forgetting its existence too.
for future references: try to use physical attacks against bruno's fighting mons, if you look at hitmontop, lee, chan, and machamp, you will see that fighting type mons are usually way more specially defensive than physically defensive.
Just because you made sure not to go crazy on the ads, I watched both of them all the way through. Sure it's probably only like 5 cents to your check but you've earned it. Btw keep up the good content. 👍
Comment for the algorithm: The most underrated Pokémon card has to be Dark Golbat. The Pokémon power allows you to deal damage with the card still in your hand, to any of your opponents Pokémon.
The reason Miltank was destroying Qwilfish with Stomp when it connected is because in Gen 2, whenever Stomp connects on a Pokémon that has used Minimize, the damage dealt is doubled.
Should have just kept the harden hahaha. Curse , return, surf, rest. Might be a good set. Maybe. Nevermind, not enough damaging moves. Take out curse , add spludgebomb back for damage.
You need to make Venomoth’s type a running joke said with all seriousness. “But I’m not worried, since Venomoth is a fire/electric type”. And you do know you can tell your Mum/Mom to stop saving your money if you just go and talk to her. You can also move between non/daylight savings time if it happens in the middle of a run. Have fun with these things. Mum: Is it daylight savings? You: how are you not keeping track of these things? You’re a grown woman.
I'm very impressed that Quillfish managed to win against Red using only A button spam. Especially since it was using Sludge Bomb instead of relying on a lucky Rollout streak.
YESSSS Scott being a fan of unpopular Pokémon like Ariados, Qwilfish, and Dunsparce makes me so happy. I nearly exclusively use guys like that nowadays.
Enjoyed the run bud and quilfish is one of my favourite gen 2 mons so glad to see him getting used for once! Also i dont mind that your videos have discrepancies because you dont know everything, it reflects more of an every person play through, not everyone knows all the little tricks and mechanics of the older games
Spikes is actually really good because even A.I. trainers have to send in pokemon which means that unless they are flying type they will take damage. Qwilfish learns it because it is a mine as well as a pufferfish. Defense curl boosts rollout simply because you are already in the shape of a ball so you can get up to speed sooner. Really simple logic there. Chikorita is not weak, it just happens to be defensive oriented which makes miltank a breeze with its mid stage evolution. Try playing through crystal with a Meganium starting from a Chikorita. You will know what I mean.
A random fact that cost me a Ho-oh as a kid. The NPC you're supposed to deliver Kenya to doesn't actually check for Kenya, instead they check for the mail If you move the mail to another Pokemon without erasing it, they'll take that Pokemon from you.
On the theme of obscure Johto mons - the Hoppip-Jumpluff line would be a good one. I've always known it to be rather terrible, so it would be cool to see if it can manage. Hippop doesn't get a damaging move until level 10 so I probably would cheat it to have tackle immediately.
Fun fact: moves like steamroller and stomp doubles in power if the opponent used minimizes
This is no longer part of the speedrun but they used to set up an X Attack on the turn Bruno's Hitmontop Digs. Then Earthquake it for Super Effective damage essentially. Then they replaced Earthquake with Return/Strength. Werster comes up with some good strats.
oh thats so interesting, I never knew that! its more than a fun fact too, its potentially useful
as well as body slam!
Fun fact: In XY and onward moves that deal double damage against minimize also ignore accuracy check against the shrunken opponent they also keep changing which other moves get the double damage. It's not even consistent Heat crash get it Gen 6 but Heavy Slam doesn't until Generation 7.
Just like how Gust, Sky Uppercut, Hi-jump Kick, and Thunder hit opponents who used Fly.
Lol, when you use Minimize stomp does double damage. Similar to how when you use Fly and Thunder becomes 100% accurate, Earthquake doing double damage on Dig users etc.
Magnitude also does double damage on dig and thunder does double damage on bounce for some reason. Don’t know why that doesn’t go for fly as well
@@dustinarnold5569 Is magnitude doubled or does it deal Mag10 roll damage regardless of what comes up if you’re underground? I think it’s an auto 10 isn’t it?
Fun thing about this though, Magnitude hits diggers, but bulldoze doesn't
I am so pleased to see you doing Gen 2 runs. The nostalgia hits hard.

Stomp ignores minimize evasion changes and also gets it's power doubled.
I keep forgetting that venomoth was fairy type in the first gens. No wonder poison was effective against it
If you use minimise and your opponent uses stomp it does double damage.
Also when playing gen 1 you can dig from the bike voucher house.

Um, pretty sure Sceptile is still a mono Grass type lol
But look at the little wings on sceptile's arms, it's totally a flier right?

Honestly, out of all the tropes in the Pokémon challenge runs on youtube, Venomoth's typing is my favorite
I believe you're the only person who has done a challenge with this pokemon. For that you have my respect and admiration.
So happy to see such unloved Pokémon such as the speedy dragon slaying 'sea urchin' that is Puff get some spotlight. I've learned a lot of interesting info from this video regarding Gold/Silver and I hope you learned now that minimise increases the damage received from Stomp (that was a painful thing to witness you do... repeatedly). I look forward to more of these!
Lesson learned haha
Legit had to look up Venomoth after watching 6 of your videos this weekend and questioning my own sanity.
Glad it reinforced my gut "steel / dark" typing from Gen 1
I'm apologize :P
Every ROM hacker tries to make this thing Op
One game made it poison steel with levitate
0:30
There's also a fisherman Tully/Chris with a Qwilfish on route 42...
I love the way you do your videos with the little texts in between stuff and memes. Good sense of humor lol cheers. Awesome video ^_^
Thanks :) Glad you're enjoying the small humorous touches. I really like putting them in there.
NO, THE LOGIC IS THAT YOURE CURLING UP INTO A BALL TO "ROLL" OUT!!!!!
Yes, I know everyone knows this.
Qwilfish is my all time number one favorite pokemon, so happy I found this hidden gem! Keep up the work
I will! I love Qwilfish now too
You know you can call your mom in the game to turn sending her money on and off, right?
But then how can I make the joke...
Hell yes.
My all time favorite water type! I've been farming for his shiny this past week! I love the pink!
Eternal fav 💓
Thank you, these videos are a joy to watch
I made a ROM hack of G/S where Qwilfish evolves into Shibirefugu at level 18, a nod to it's beta design, Puku, which evolved into Shibirefugu at level 18. In the ROM hack, Qwilfish's stats were lowered to 335, and Shibirefugu's base stat total is 460.
Pfffft, thinking Qwilfish is a sea urchin- everyone knows it's a water hedgehog! 🤣
For real though, I'm impressed at just how decent Qwilfish can be- I'm guilty at forgetting its existence too.
for future references: try to use physical attacks against bruno's fighting mons, if you look at hitmontop, lee, chan, and machamp, you will see that fighting type mons are usually way more specially defensive than physically defensive.
Qwilfish is one of my favourite Pokémon.
Also it’s not a sea urchin, it’s a puffer fish.
Just because you made sure not to go crazy on the ads, I watched both of them all the way through. Sure it's probably only like 5 cents to your check but you've earned it. Btw keep up the good content. 👍
"Let's go catch a Bellsprout. But not in Sprout Tower, where they're nearly guaranteed to show up."
Check the Sprout Tower encounter tables...
I legit can’t believe Bellsprout don’t actually appear there.
And Scott delivers again!!!
Man level 80 and Quilfish conquers Johto, color me impressed man, esp when it 2 shot Snorlax with Sludge Bomb!
Yeah, that moment really impressed me too.
Quilfish has to be one of the most underrated pokemon.
It really does.
Its cool to see Venomoth was a Bug/Fairy type even back in gen 2 (you can even see it at 23:05).
Milk that cow battle! Give Whitney some cheese for that post-battle whine!
Fun fact, Qwilfish is considered one of like, the top 5 or so water types in emerald Kaizo (it did get a very small buff tho, 10 defence points).
Aren't bug and grass depicted with the same symbol in the tcg
alos isnt there a mistake in the description
Yeah, they are.
I love Qwilfish. It sucks that u get it later in G and S. With all of the new water types it shouldve been easier to get. Remoraid and Octillery too.
Comment for the algorithm:
The most underrated Pokémon card has to be Dark Golbat. The Pokémon power allows you to deal damage with the card still in your hand, to any of your opponents Pokémon.
The reason Miltank was destroying Qwilfish with Stomp when it connected is because in Gen 2, whenever Stomp connects on a Pokémon that has used Minimize, the damage dealt is doubled.
Should have just kept the harden hahaha. Curse , return, surf, rest. Might be a good set. Maybe. Nevermind, not enough damaging moves. Take out curse , add spludgebomb back for damage.
Ah Qwilfish. Another Gen 2 Pokémon who deserved more than they got. He does deserve an evolution.
for me forgotten pokemon from 2 gen was Octillery , never seen wild or used by other trainers.
You need to make Venomoth’s type a running joke said with all seriousness. “But I’m not worried, since Venomoth is a fire/electric type”.
And you do know you can tell your Mum/Mom to stop saving your money if you just go and talk to her. You can also move between non/daylight savings time if it happens in the middle of a run. Have fun with these things.
Mum: Is it daylight savings?
You: how are you not keeping track of these things? You’re a grown woman.
I'm very impressed that Quillfish managed to win against Red using only A button spam. Especially since it was using Sludge Bomb instead of relying on a lucky Rollout streak.
Yeah, if it has beat him with Rollout I would have been much less impressed. But it was just strong enough to do it.
YESSSS Scott being a fan of unpopular Pokémon like Ariados, Qwilfish, and Dunsparce makes me so happy. I nearly exclusively use guys like that nowadays.
I'm really a big fan of unpopular Pokemon. It's fun shining a light on these!
I'd really love if they give Qwilfish and Dunsparce an evolution, it would be great
I love Quilfish. As a kid i always wanted one. It just looked so cute and angry.
If you don't have a strength pokemon for Chuck's gym, you can just get the gift Shuckle from the house next to the pharmacy and it can learn strength.
That is smart!
Enjoyed the run bud and quilfish is one of my favourite gen 2 mons so glad to see him getting used for once!
Also i dont mind that your videos have discrepancies because you dont know everything, it reflects more of an every person play through, not everyone knows all the little tricks and mechanics of the older games
Glad you enjoy it! It's fun for me learning all the little things. I have an amazing teacher - crowded sourced education!
Spikes is actually really good because even A.I. trainers have to send in pokemon which means that unless they are flying type they will take damage. Qwilfish learns it because it is a mine as well as a pufferfish. Defense curl boosts rollout simply because you are already in the shape of a ball so you can get up to speed sooner. Really simple logic there. Chikorita is not weak, it just happens to be defensive oriented which makes miltank a breeze with its mid stage evolution. Try playing through crystal with a Meganium starting from a Chikorita. You will know what I mean.
Best you avoid using minimize vs stomp, you basically just screwed yourself. You take double damage
Remember that you can't use a bike indoors. Professor Oak taught me that.
The guy doesn't give you Kenya. He gives you a TM, I think, but he takes the Pokemon away for good.
Qwilfish is my favorite mon. I only like how he looks in older gens tho. His gen 2 sprite is sick.
A random fact that cost me a Ho-oh as a kid. The NPC you're supposed to deliver Kenya to doesn't actually check for Kenya, instead they check for the mail
If you move the mail to another Pokemon without erasing it, they'll take that Pokemon from you.
Oh my, that’s brutal… I’m so sorry
On the theme of obscure Johto mons - the Hoppip-Jumpluff line would be a good one. I've always known it to be rather terrible, so it would be cool to see if it can manage. Hippop doesn't get a damaging move until level 10 so I probably would cheat it to have tackle immediately.
