Chat/Comment Guidelines:
1: Respect each other, do not intentionally cause arguments and diffuse the situation immediately.
2: Please no backseat gaming. If I need help, I will ask the chat for help. A lot of the fun for myself and the viewers is coming up with the strategies on my own and solving problems in my own unique way.
3: Listen to the streamer. If I say stop, I mean stop, and move the discussion on.
4: Please don't reference other creators' in-jokes and running gags on my stream. Just as much as I wouldn't like another creator using my lore, I would find it disrespectful to use other creators' lore.
5: Moderators' and streamer's decisions are final.
The Rules:
1: The timer starts when walking away from Professor Elm after receiving the starter Pokémon.
2: Only the Challenge Pokémon may participate in battle.
3: No items in battle, except Balls from the bag.
4: No evasion-increasing TMs, and no Rest and Sleep Talk TMs until every other option has been exhausted.
5: No intentional uses of glitches or exploits, except the Teleport glitch after the SS Aqua.
6: No Rare Candies until facing Red. Rare Candies will be used in a 3-3-4 pattern.
7: Timer may be paused for breaks in recording, but no inputs may be made when the timer is paused.
8: Save states are permitted in the overworld, but no save states may be used mid-battle.
9: If the challenge Pokémon faints, the previous save state must be reloaded and progress regained.

I think I prefer your narrative videos where you include the story. But I understand the point of the just the battles series and it's definitely not bad, just I love the overworld being added into the video
I do love your channel though! Easily the best small channel and I'm sure you'll continue to grow rapidly :)
I prefer the slower-paced videos, too, but I also know some people like seeing fully-evolved from the beginning.
It's a lot harder to weave a good narrative together when you're overpowered for the first couple of gyms, so this series feels like a healthy middle ground. It'll always be a bonus series, though, and will never replace the main runs!
Girafarig better watch out 👀
It's a different leaderboard for Tyranitar, so Girafarig's safe until at least Saturday!
No Pokemon can beat the cutest, strongest ... Snubbull
Snubbull and Granbull are low-key contenders for a podium finish. Granbull doesn't have great speed, though, so will struggle against Red, but we do get an abundance of excellent physical moves to use, so some Pokémon will be less tricky than they otherwise would have been.
@@Squidgy True i suspect to do him well because he levels very fast iirc, don't know tm's but acces to fire punch might be good for steelix, stab return etc
But Red could be really bad, espeon's psychic, snorlax mmm
@@ben_vdv7044 Yeah, Snorlax is most definitely a big threat, especially if you know Gen 2 competitive meta, where that gen's OU tier is Snorlax's kingdom.
Man I underestimated Grandbull in crystal... I got tired of using my regular pokes so I decided to switch it up and Grandbull is a physical powerhouse.
And we’re back!
Tyranitar did just as well as i expected it to do! Great run Squidgy!
Loving all the videos. Great work!
Thanks Kyle, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!
Tyranitar running sandstorm, brings back memories lol. It still baffles me that rock doesn't resist rock.
It really should, shouldn't it? It still confuses me to this day!
I love that my man Squidgy said "likes helps smaller channels like myself" then gets 2k views in 4 hours. You're going to be huge soon, you're getting there
I haven't seen a pokemon video like this w just battles before! It's good.
Thanks, Shannon! I'm glad you enjoy the format - they come out once every couple of weeks or so, whenever I have a spare few hours to do an extra video
Ooo tyranitar not gonna lie I was excited to see how this would turn out!
Great video! I don't think I've ever seen this pokemon be played, and ive never played against it :D I forgot it existed!
Cheers, Dan!
Knowing the games you've played, I think Tyranitar has somehow managed to slip by completely unnoticed - I can't think of any game you regularly play where it's been prominent
I love Tyranitar, but as soon as I saw it, I knew Chuck and Bruno would be a menace. Great Pokémon, terrible weaknesses to common types. Alas, thus is the fate of Rock types
Being Rock-type alone is bad enough for Chuck as he's got you with two type advantages, but being Rock/Dark is brutal for those two trainers.
Honestly, I'm surprised at how quickly I beat the pair of them - I'd got a whole backup route planned just in case it went very wrong.
love a good curse strat, great run
Thanks, bud!
In future, I'm going to be less hesitant about using Curse, but it still feels as cheap as using Rest-Talk to me
10:51 You had the Quick Claw equipped, because there's no way less than 100 speed divided by 4 due to paralysis is faster than Houndoom!
Wow for once Gengar didn't go for Hypnosis, that's a rare thing for it to do!
Nice I'm ready to see him smash the game.
Very disappointing time for a pseudo-legendary. But it makes me excited to see Larvitar in the main series.
1:05 you mean screech lol it's all good. Comments are good for the CZcams algorithm. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm surprised. I genuinely expected Tyranitar to do a bit better than Lapras just because it always seemed like a powerhouse. At least now we know that you'll need to use the curse strat when you do your main run of Larvitar!
I was disappointed by Tyranitar's performance - especially against Red.
Being a physical attacker and having low speed definitely worked against him, but I still think he should've done better overall.
Dark is special in Gen 2? I thought it was physical, I called it that in my most recent Solo run of Pokemon Crystal Solo Houndour! I learned something here. 😁😁😁
Lv70 curse Tyrannitar for the win!
I can't remember, does Sandstorm boost the special defense of rock types in gen 2, or was it added later?
Because if it is, starting at level 5 with it is insane
That was a mechanic introduced in Gen IV, I believe - I think Gen 2's engine would've cried if it had to work that out on top of all the other boosts!
Yep, begins in DP. I cannot imagine the ADV competitive metagame if Ttar--already the meta-defining king of OU--also had the SpDef boost.
sandstorm does do more damage in g2 though
Oh, man, if Sandstorm could boost special defense in Gen 2, it'd be so amazing in a solo run, as it'd essentially be a better Light Screen - trading a bit of the special defense boost for guaranteeing that 1/8 of your opponent's HP goes away at the end of the turn. This might make the difference between guaranteeing a knockout vs. putting it in healing range and wasting a turn. You'd definitely be using it against Red since all but Snorlax have special moves, too.
Its a beast in gen 2
Have you ever considered the berserk gene assuming you can get it before red?
Berserk Gene would be very circumstantial, but I will add it on to the list of things to try if I'm struggling against Red.
An instant +2 attack would be very useful, but the 256 turns of confusion might outweigh its benefits - we'll have to see in upcoming videos
I looked at Tyrannitar being level 60, and I was like 🤣🤣🤣 yeah, this is really gonna turn out well with those weaknesses and low speed and being a much lower level. 🤣🤣🤣
Ttar did well, its very strong, expect a low position when you do it from larvitar-stage though.
I'm hoping that Chuck will be easier with Larvitar, as I won't be 4x weak at that point, but we'll have to see what happens!
@@Squidgy Not sure how much it helps, larvitar/pupitar are still slow, and poliwrath will kill you with surf instead.
Though, the AI does silly things, so there is always a chance.
Btw, return is good, but dont underestimate rock slide flinch when faster, higher reward, and 90% accuracy isnt bad.
CZcams ate my more detailed comment, but Fire Blast would probably be more useful against Red than Earthquake.
Despite T'Tar's physical attack, Venusaur having more special bulk, STAB on Rock Slide, and probably having more stat XP in Attack rather than Special, Fire Blast might let you get the 2HKO (or lucky crit) at a lower level. Flamethrower looks roughly on par with Rock Slide though. And assuming fair RNG, two Fire Blasts are ~72% accurate, vs 81% for two Rock Slides.
I also wonder if Hyper Beam might be decent tech against Chuck's Poliwrath and/or Bruno's Machamp, but that's an exercise for another day.
I'm always at loathe to get Fire Blast / Hydro Pump / Thunder as a TM - the process of buying 5500C at Goldenrod, buying the TM, teaching it, and then going back to where I was is a massive time-sink for a low-PP, low-Accuracy move - especially when it'd only be particularly useful against one Pokémon.
Hyper Beam's out of the question until Kanto, unfortunately - TM15's only available in Celadon Game Corner, and it's 7500C, so it's another big gamble.
That's a good point. I misremembered whether Gen 2 put those TMs at the Department Store (Goldenrod or Celadon) or the Game Corner.
I think using Crunch instead of Return against Karen's Vileplume could save a couple seconds (and maybe a reset). With the pink bow Return has an effective power of 112.2 but a STAB Crunch would have power 120, which might be just enough to one-shot.
EDIT: Crunch also seems to be the best move against Venusaur and Blastoise before going with Curse strats.
You gotta consider Tyranitar's massive attack compared to its decent special attack. The small difference in move power more than likely wouldn't make up for that.
@@TastyMeerkat Right, forgot about the lack of Physical Special split.
That's a very interesting idea - because Crunch is Special in Gen 2, it might not have made a huge difference, but I'll review the raw footage over the weekend, grab T-tar's stats, and have a little test of Crunch
Thought he’d be top to be fair! What a tank though, wouldn’t wanna meet him…. Anywhere really
He's not the kind of Pokémon you'd want to see down a dark alley, is he?
pre-vid: first place
im digging the fact that u only show the battles. Def made ur video way better. Do a machamp only on gold if u can lol
While this is one of the best fully evolved Pokemon its also 1 of the SLOWEST to lv up but as long as you still beat Milktank in 1 hit its a very easy run with this one.
Why didn't you earthquake Venusaur it's a poison type
Earthquake would be neutral against Venusaur, because Grass resists Ground.
He did at on stage but it did less damage then return
Accidentally pressed dislike instead of like :( idk if it sends you a message when you get a dislike but it was accidental
Don't worry, it doesn't let the creators know!
Obligatory retroactive comment
Scratch? I see Screech. Slow your roll a touch, friend.
Occsionally an error or two like that will slip through the net. When you're heavily dyslexic, it's sometimes impossible to read a move correctly after you see it incorrectly.
