    Fun Fact: in gen 1 toxic and leech seed do damage off the same counter, so if you stack them together leech seed will take and heal for more damage as the toxic counter starts to raise.

    A clutch of eggs can refer to two things:

    (2) Exeggcute during a challenge run.

  • @gaminggoddess85

    I thought this was going to be easy until I saw that it didn't learn any grass moves...
    Here's what the Pokedex says about the multi-headed gen 1 pokemon:
    -Doduo's heads contain identical brains and communicate their emotions telepathically. Only one head needs to sleep at a time.
    -Dodrio's third head came from one of its heads splitting into two, and its three identical brains means three times the mental power to devise complicated plans of attack. Like Doduo only one head needs to sleep at a time, and it also has three sets of lungs and three hearts so it can run for super long times.
    -Dugtrio is a set of identical triplets that split off from Diglett's body and think together like a hivemind. They sometimes fight over who gets to eat first though.
    -Exeggcute always come in groups of six. If one gets lost somehow, their telepathic bond always brings them back together. As their shells crack more and more, it means they're getting closer to evolving.
    -Exeggutor's three heads have their own personalities but they're all friendly and never fight one another. Once a head grows large enough it drops off and becomes an Exeggcute who sends out a telepathic signal to any other lone Exeggcute so they can eventually form a new pod of six.

    Barrage would be so much better if 1) It had 100 accuracy and 2) Exeggcute got STAB with it. Grass-type would make the most sense, but knowing that bullet seed will exist 2 generations later, I'd think it'd be neat if it was psychic-type, like it uses psychic powers to fling itself. We need more physical Psychic moves.

    • @ScottsThoughtsPokemon

    Speaking if pokemon with multible heads.
    I think the saddest multi head pokemon is Zweilous, Deino only has one head so when it evolves it gains a twin and they fight each other over the food and the one who eats the most is the leader. And while Hydreigon has three head, the ones on it's arms don't have any brains.
    Pretty much implies that Zweilous dominant head gets to live and the other one lost.

    Exeggutor was my favorite 'psychic' pokemon in gen1, but for some reason I thought it was unavailable in yellow so I never got it. Bummed that I never had an opportunity to use it back in the day.
    Edit: also, thinking about seeds- you get one seed to one stalk. I think Exeggutor is simply the only egg/seed that survived, and the new heads are simply the offspring of the one surviving seed... as they fall off, they join together and become a new exeggute.

    Dodrio is a large, wingless, three-headed avian Pokémon. Each head has a long, sharp beak and a black V-shaped, feather crest. It has bristly brown feathers covering its heads and upper body, while its lower half has a smooth layer of black feathers. Its tail consists of three pale red feathers with lighter tips. Its wingless body rests on two long and slender, but powerful legs with feet that have three clawed toes in front and one in back. A male has black necks, whereas a female has brown necks; both genders have brown legs.
    Each head has its own working brain and distinct personality. Each head represents and expresses either sorrow, anger, or joy. Despite being separate, it has the innate ability to use all three of its brains to collect data, formulate, and then execute complex plans and strategies. However, on occasion it may overthink, which causes it to become immobilized and unable to carry out any action whatsoever. Being separate individuals on the same body, the three heads will continue to bicker until they, or at least one of them, gets to eat. This satisfies the other two heads, quelling them and temporarily ending their infighting. Another form of adaptation that it has acquired is the ability to have at least one head alert at all times. Extreme caution is advised when all three heads are facing separate directions. It is in this state that it is the most dangerous and going near it may result in a severe pecking.

It has just the right moveset to be really solid defensively but really, really does lack the offensive power to do much. But at least in Gen II Leech Seed is like, really good.

    Poor Exeggcute , gen 1 didn't want it to have good moves, despite its decent typing.😮 And yeah, before watching that playthrough I was so sure it could get mega drain or solarbeam via TMS , because every grass type (and some poison types ) could learn it.😅
    But overall,it gave the early game some special flavour, especially when you had to rely on bide for the early game ,and with a lot of crazy luck involved, especially in terms of resets.😂😂
    Also , I really liked the smart usage of egg bomb ,even though I think that the combination of leech seed and double edge could synergize well too , because the Exeggcute line is pretty bulky (for some odd reason, it's Pokédex entry in gold says that it's shell is very durable. Even if it cracks, it can survive without spilling the contents, I guess that's why they are so bulky who knows?😅)so you can take advantage of that,even though it cost you more time.😊
    But in the end Exeggcute did it without becoming an omelette. Well done!👏👏👏👏

    Wow execcute had a bright start, no doubt. But sooner or later it would get tougher to him. Blane was such a brick wall, really difficult, but I guess it could have been worse, especially the beginning. In my opinion what helped execcute the most was it's typing and sure what helped the least it's move pool! Man so horrible!!! Why could it not learn mega drain? Dude such an unfair thing... Absolutely one of the most difficult challenges, but you did great Scott, good job! Though I think Exeggutor would do significantly better, I guess everyone would agree on that!!!

    I grinned so big when you listed your charizards move set - I’ve always been a Venusaur guy and guess what my final move set always ended up being: vinewhip, razor leaf, sleeppowder and solarbeam 😂
    My reasoning was pretty much the same, god forbid a grass type uses something else, but grass moves. Additionally I kept vinewhip over gigadrain because I always only leveled my starter and I wanted a low power, high PP move to finish off Pokémon with low health in order to save PP on razor leaf 😅

    Dugtrio is a set of Diglett triplets sharing a single body, although no one knows what its body looks like since it's perpetually buried underground. Each head is incredibly tough with a smooth surface, and has brown skin, black eyes, and a large, round, pink nose. Dugtrio's three heads think the same thoughts and act cooperatively, though on rare occasions may fight over which head gets to eat first. In order to make burrowing easier, each head will bob up and down to loosen the soil.

      Magneton is a robot-like Pokémon, the result of three Magnemite becoming linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when there are no other Magnemite in the vicinity. Each individual Magnemite has a gray spherical body with a single eye, and a gray and red-and-blue tipped horseshoe magnet on each side. The topmost Magnemite has three Phillips head screws on its body, while the others appear to have only two. The three Magnemite that Magneton consists of can be linked in several ways. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked by the screws on the bottom, forming a triangle.

      Dodrio is a large, wingless, three-headed avian Pokémon. Each head has a long, sharp beak and a black V-shaped, feather crest. It has bristly brown feathers covering its heads and upper body, while its lower half has a smooth layer of black feathers. Its tail consists of three pale red feathers with lighter tips. Its wingless body rests on two long and slender, but powerful legs with feet that have three clawed toes in front and one in back. A male has black necks, whereas a female has brown necks; both genders have brown legs.
      Each head has its own working brain and distinct personality. Each head represents and expresses either sorrow, anger, or joy. Despite being separate, it has the innate ability to use all three of its brains to collect data, formulate, and then execute complex plans and strategies. However, on occasion it may overthink, which causes it to become immobilized and unable to carry out any action whatsoever. Being separate individuals on the same body, the three heads will continue to bicker until they, or at least one of them, gets to eat. This satisfies the other two heads, quelling them and temporarily ending their infighting. Another form of adaptation that it has acquired is the ability to have at least one head alert at all times. Extreme caution is advised when all three heads are facing separate directions. It is in this state that it is the most dangerous and going near it may result in a severe pecking.

      Along with its three heads, it has three sets of hearts and lungs as well. This allows it to efficiently oxygenate and pump blood throughout its body, thus giving it increased endurance to run vast distances without rest. It is especially prone to race vigorously across grassy plains, even in arid seasons with little rainfall.

      Exeggutor is a tall, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a coconut tree or palm tree. Its body and legs are light brown with thin black rings and its legs are thick with two-toed feet. There is a light yellow paw pad on each foot's underside. It has thin, green leaves sprouting from the top of its body. Exeggutor has three round, light yellow heads that resemble coconuts, each with different facial expressions.
      Exeggutor's heads think independently and don't appear interested in one another, so it makes a lot of noise as each head speaks its mind. They still appear to get along, though, for they never squabble amongst themselves. If all the heads want to go in a different direction, its body is unable to move. They are able to communicate telepathically as well and sometimes use it to come to a joint decision. It uses psychic powers to fight, and since all three heads are capable its power is tripled. If one of these heads grows too large, it falls off and groups together with others to become an Exeggcute.

    I forgot when you started to implement the Oak fight at the end instead of the Mewtwo fight but I really like it. It has real postgame final boss energy due to it being a full team to fight instead of just one Pokémon.
    Btw can you say at the end how many attempts it took you to beat Oak? I'm not sure if you did say it and I just forgot or if you just said that it took a few attempts.

    I love Eggy in Gen 1. He's so counterintuitive. Really slow, low stats, and bad moves, but somehow it's just insanely consistent. Slow and steady wins the race I guess.

  • @justsomejojo
    @justsomejojo Před rokem

    Exeggcute's movepool of Leech Seed, Reflect, Sleep Powder puts it way up on my list of cool pokemon. That combination is VERY fun against the AI and the only reason I'm not using the funny bunch every time I move through Gen1 is its late encounter. I didn't even realize it doesn't get Mega Drain - that's more awful offensively than I thought. Then, in Gen2, you can get it VERY early (from headbutting trees in Ilex Forest, which is VERY funny to me) and even an easy Leaf Stone in Crystal, but Jumpluff does the Leech-Sleep strat way better in that game because it's so fast and it's one of my favorites.
    I do wonder though why it didn't get 50% more exp on that first playthrough, being such a Lucky Egg....

    An idea for the future: Runs with access to the pokemons strongest movement from the beginning. In particular, pokemon with a tough Brock split, see the difference it makes. Alternatively, give them just one strong move early for the early game. Abra could end up S tier 😂

    I guess I just loved pain growing up, but the grass type (and bug) were & are my favorite two types lol. Exeggutor & Victreebel are both in my top 3 Pokémon today.
    With that said, I did a run for fun the other day where I ran an Exeggutor in Yellow, but I used Gen 2 egg moves - similar to a couple of Gym Leader Matt's videos. It makes such a difference.
    It is so ridiculous to me that some really quality Pokemon have absolutely trash learnsets. I mean at least give it Absorb as a starting move & then Confusion as a level up move. As much as I love early generation Pokemon, this just eats at me.
