Rules and Explanations
Rules: (1) Only use the one Pokémon in Battle, others for HMs are fine. (2) No Items in battle (3) No Glitches* (4) Set Mode (5) No saving in the Elite Four (6) No evasion moves
Badge Boost "Glitch" Explanation: When you collect odd numbered badges the game boosts a stat by 12.5%. Brock gives ATK, Surge DEF, Koga SPE, and Blaine SPC (in game text is wrong). When any of your stats are modified (even by you using a move like Withdraw, or your opponent using Leer) the badge boosts are re-applied. So If you use Swords Dance, you also gain *an additional 12.5% in Speed/Defence/Special (on top of the 12.5% you were supposed to be getting). When you level up, the game corrects this error, and only the non-glitch 12.5% remains. Because of how difficult it is to avoid, I've allowed for it to be exploited, since opponents will spam Leer/Growl anyways, and this way battles are less random. Red/Blue are extremely buggy, so there's always going to be some glitches present, and because of how unavoidable this one is, it is allowed in runs, and considered more like a special Generation 1 mechanic as opposed to a glitch. - Hry
Now im really interested to see how much better Tentacruel will be with his vastly superior stats.
I second that
Agreed
totally
Wrap off of base 100 speed will make a lot of the game trivial
Oh it’s going to destroy I’m fairly certain. Can’t wait.
I love how every few videos Giovanni redeems himself and Surge regains his rank of Lieutenant.
Jrose: "That luck [missing two consecutive Wraps, 2.2% chance] is not acceptable"
Game: "You're right, it shouldn't be that good. Have this 0.4% luck instead"
Wouldnt it be 2.25% chance so you should round up to 2.3%
@@doyourmath826 I'll indulge on this normally very nitpicky and petty reply because your name is suitable, but no since the gen 1 miss also affects the Wraps it would be 2.23%.
I might be wrong here but taking into account gen 1 misses increases the odds of missing twice in a row. It's 0,156^2=2,4336%. So it should round to 2,4%
Gen 1 miss only affects moves with 100% accuracy. With less than 100% the result that causes a gen 1 miss would result in a regular miss, even without the bug. So you should not count it as an extra possibility.
@@vnenno you definitely should still count it. Just bc you can't tell if it's a gen 1 miss or not doesn't exclude the fact it still happens. But a gen 1 miss can happen with any move.
The title got cut off so I just got a notification that said: "Tentacool is way better than you" and I was like "Wow. True".
There's only one of you, there's a billion Tentacool. I'll take you my fellow commenter.
Would love to see a runthrough of the middle evolution starters; Wartortle, Charmeleon, Ivysaur. Love the Content!
Was just thinking about this last night. I've always loved the mid evolutions of these pokemon.
Count me in too
I'd love to see a Dragonair run too
Well, we’ll see them all eventually! Hope those ones come soon though
Meh, don't think it would be very interesting. He already did the first and final form of those Pokémon. That gives us a solid view of how the middle form would perform.
I cannot even explain the joy I feel when there's a new jrose11 video. Especially when it's one of my favourite pokemon. Tentacruel one of my favourite
This is Tentacool dude
@Paniekzaaiertje yeah I know man was just referring to the evolution line one of my favourite
@alexbaker8402 prolly gonna cream your pants when jrose releases tentacruel huh? Sick weirdo
@@alexbaker8402don’t need to justify yourself sir! I feel the same way!
I’ve been supporting a Tentacruel run for a couple of months because it was in competitive play for Gen 1
Jrose uploads are always coming in clutch, just got laid off and backing up my things, really needed something to listen to to get through this, thank you for the upload 🙏
Good luck my friend. Things will get better for you
Hope things get better man
I came just to remind us of the sfx the Gen1 move Acid makes in game😂 Still lives in my head rent free to this day😅
That 100 Special is doing SO much carrying
I am a simple man. I see a Jrose upload, I watch.
A man of culture, i see.
@josephj.dalessandro59 A second man of culture, I see
Agreed. Who needs work anyway?
Hey didn't i see you post on a Lowko video? Glad to see i am in good company
Same!
Every time Jrose uses a water-type pokemon, Surge gets promoted.
A consistent highlight of your videos is your storytelling with each run. It's gotten better as you've gone, but it's always been your strong suit.
I really appreciate you putting yourself through all these runs just to see how good/bad each and every Pokémon is in this challenge. Every time you upload, I know I’m in for some great entertainment
People really sleep on the Tentacool line. Despite it being the known as the Zubat of the sea, it did pretty well. Makes me remember a time when Tentacruel was used in Ubers for competitive play
From viable Ubers lead to Ru. Makes you wonder why gamefreak even bothers including old Pokémon at all if they’re just going to languish like that.
Its one of the coolest lines of all i always liked tentacrool it was one of the big bad ones.
The 3d designs are too rounded and fked up thats why splash arts looked so much better.
@@joelkilchoer4238Because kids playing Pokémon don't even know what Uber means‚ and the Pokémon are still cool‚ in all gens.
Because competitive is less than 0.5% of the user base @@joelkilchoer4238
@@benikujaku4567You could say they are tenta-cool
Hey man! Wanted to say I love the series and thank you! I play a game called Bloons TD 6 and your series inspired me to change the style of vids I was making for my game into a long form journey like you do and my channel has been blowing up over it! This series rocks and I love just throwing these on in the background while I work around the house or do yardwork!
Since this is a heavy Wrap run, a quick primer on Wrap in Gen 1 competitive for those who don't know:
First, AgiliWrap, the cheese strategy that Dragonite is infamous for: You para everything, make sure Rhydon is dead for PP reasons, get Dragonite in safely (probably via Explosion), then start rolling 85% Wraps and 50% full paralysis checks. Incredibly frustrating when you lose to it, but it's not as good as you think, which is why Dragonite is not OU. 67% of a Gen 1 OU team probably has an ice move, and the rest of the team probably has Thunder Wave, so finding a free turn to safely click Agility can be quite rare. Dragonite is the only mon with Agility + Wrap; Fire Spin + Agility also exists on a few mons, but Fire is an awful defensive type in Gen 1 competitive so it doesn't see use.
Tentacruel in UU also uses Wrap, however it uses it much differently. Wrap mechanics are such that if you're in the middle of Wrap, and you switch, the opponent does not get to move that turn (they can still switch), so against anything Tent outspeeds, it's effectively modern U-turn spread over two moves. Very useful for getting a frail offensive mon like a Kadabra or a Persian into battle safely.
Victreebel can do something similar with Stun Spore and Wrap, but it's much less reliable than the standard Wrap usage and the poison typing makes it very vulnerable to all the Alakazams and Kadabras running around. It does get guaranteed Razor Leaf crits, though.
Solid information, though I did notice a minor error; In fact, a few months ago I also used to believe full paralysis had a 50% chance, but a friend recently looked it up and pointed out it is actually only 25%.
Tentacool is often just a nuisance, but it's a surprisingly useful one.
Jrose: "I just need a bit of luck, the chance it doesn't use sleep powder!"
Tentacool: "I freeze! UwU"
Jrose: "No, not like that ;-;"
Ok LITERALLY JUST LAST NIGHT I was like, "I wonder how Tentacool would do in a solo run?"
And it's here today. Love to see it!
Cap
Just finished rewatching the Weedle run to see this uploaded minutes ago. Today is a good day. Jrose is an american treasure.
And I'm not even American!
@@Jrose11
You’re North American, it’s close enough that we’re adopting you
Missed an opportunity to say, "That's a wrap" after beating the champion. Love the videos, keep it up my man!@@Jrose11
It's very funny to imagine this tiny Tentacool just plopping on top of all of the Elite Four's giant Pokemon with Wrap and slowly wearing them down into oblivion while they just sit there.
Admittedly this is a silly nitpick but I feel like since tentacool didn’t hit level 63 until after the final battle ended, she should get 62 on the tier list. The same thing has almost certainly happened to other Pokémon in these challenges, but I was so focused on exp and levels bc of the commentary so now I feel like our beautiful jellyfish has been slighted and I will revolt against this channel if justice isn’t served /j
As usual awesome stuff from the channel, loved the color palette and the editing!
That is true, but probably won't affect the ranking (unless somehow there's a tie)
One of my favorite parts of Jrose videos is that he says, "how's it going" as a statement, rather than a question 🤣
A nice mellow run with one of my generation 1 favorites was just what I needed today! Thank you as always
You know it put a smile on my face when I saw you reseting and battle Erika again just because you didn't like being lucky.. it's been awhile we have seen that maybe an year or so and idk kinda felt like the old jrose. Don't get me wrong you are amazing even rn but because I have been watching you for so long sometimes i miss the old stubborn and persistent jrose in the old videos.
I'm hype for the tentacruel run.
Great job Jrose and I’m surprised about tentacools success in this video
A new Jrose11 video always makes my day!
I've always wondered if on these challenges with unevolved pokemon has Jrose ever accidentally let a pokemon evolve.
Oh man Jrose! I was really hoping you would end by saying, “that’s a wrap!”
Was expecting it to end with "And that's a wrap"
Jrose, you are a legend, I didn't play pkm in years but you make me watch all your videos
Greetings from Germany
Welcome back Jrose! We're all so happy to see you kicking butt and gracing us with yet another awesome video. Hope you're doing well, and if you're not, then you best stop not doing well and start doing well again.
You've single-handedly rekindled my interest in the original Pokemon games.
Tentacool was one of my first Pokemon, when I didn't understand the game and had a team completely of water types. Good times getting destroyed by electric and grass types. This brought me back.
I can't even begin to say thank you enough for your videos! They are just fantastic (:
It's been a while since our beloved Hiker didn't get his usual mention
Thank you jrose for saving my Friday at work! Also that blue pallette looks great, as well as the moveset/stats animations!
Best Pokemon series on youtube! Keep up the work! ❤
Also really looking forward to FRLG runs :))
These videos are amazing, the way you analyze the stats and how you handle this different situations. Sometimes it’s impossible but most of them you end up winning, has really impressed me.
I just started watching your videos, and it sucked to wait this long for a new one, but I'm glad it's here lol. Ty
ITS Always a Blessing to See one of your Videos. Gives me shivers and Brings me through the darkest days :)
Thank you and i Hope you enjoy yourself
We need more videos more often! These are among my favorite videos to watch. I've watched every one so far!
No matter how good or bad the stats/move pool or even factors like when they learn certain moves, i am always so fascinated when i see the notification that a new video dropped. Definitely was expecting a much worst run too so it was a pleasant surprise that it did better then i initially gave it credit. Way to go tentacool. Still looking forward to some mid stage runs but always happy to see a base stage run too. Keep up the amazing content. 👏
Keep it up! Love your vids and all the memories!
Greetings from Germany
Good to hear you in better spirits bud, be well and keep up the good work!
Thanks for that video, I love them and have been waiting for it!
always a good day to see a video from you bud keep it up :D
YES NEW JROSE
thanks buddy, always look forward to new videos, and have wanted to see tentacool for a while now!
Videos still talking about old Pokemon games in 2023 is so awesome to see
awesome episode Jrose! I feel like a Clefairy run would be really fascinating.
It always brings me a smile watching a notification of a new video of you :)
This Tentacool run gets the OG Bug Catcher official stamp of approval! 👍
Tentacool gets poison sting because poisonous jellyfish use their tendrils to sting prey and inject venom.
Cool pokemon! Look forward to the rest of the run.
Woot woot! Always a good night when JRose uploads!
I love Tentacool! I'm so glad you got it one of the best times, it deserves it. Tentacool was my first Pokémon back in the day and its amazing to see it thrive.
If tentacool started with bubble it would of helped it’s time out quite a bit. Also swords dance is such a strange move for it to get. Wonderful video as always!
Would have
A new video from my favorite CZcamsr. I hope you don't get burnt out and move these challenges to other guns or even a similar format to something you like.
These videos always make my day better thanks
Here's the deal, Jessica Biel - never expected a Community joke on a Pokémon video. Keep up the good work!
AWW YEAH BEEN WAITING FOR THE NEXT UPLOAD
Definitely one of my favorite Gen 1 Mons appreciate the run 🙌🙌
Can't wait for the Tentacruel video, I highly anticipate it bodying the entire game and being in the top 5 best pokemon
I love how you always play that song when the Lorelei battle starts. Is it from Pokemon conquest? Anyway, love it!
Tentacool is so good they had to give Toedscool a bad ability to hinder it. Because a Pokemon as fast as Tentacruel with Spore would be busted
Yep. And the next fastest Pokemon that can have Spore is Smeargle who doesn't learn it by level-up and the next one is Breloom who also has to delay evolution to be able to get it. Though Scarlet and Violet fixed that somewhat with a wild Tera Breloom who has Spore.
And with a nice Tentacool run wrapped up, we await your next video ;)
Always worth the wait!
Thank you for a great run=3
Im excited for the new jrose video!!! Yippee!!!!
This is why I’ve been supporting a Tentacruel run
Jrose graced us with this tentaCOOL upload. Sweet.
I really look forward to these videos.
Btw Always caught a Tentacool as soon as I could. Its such a cool pokemon.
This was awesome! Still waiting for the Kabutops and Omastar Vids
Somehow I found this channel and this pokemon red/blue videos are my go to when having a meal
I was just about to complete BG3 but then I saw Jrose had a new video out and you know... priotities. Love you Jrose!!!
Swords dance wrap, now THAT'S a strategy.
Yay new Jrose video! 🎉🙌🏻
I was wondering when you were going to do Tentacool! It is so much better than I would have thought for solo runs!
lookin forward to the "cool stuff" you mentioned!
i've been waiting on this one! I've always thought this mon would be great at this challenge, let's see if i was right
Love your videos man
This is gonna be such a TentaCOOL run :D
Hey jrose, just an idea but you should do speesruns and compare where you pick Pokémon and completely randomize their move sets and abilities. Field and Gym TMS randomized included. I think it’ll provide some funny yet sometimes challenging content. Anyways love the videos 💪🏽
Yay! I've been looking forward to Tentacool, one of my favorite pre-evolved Pokemon ^~^
I have just found you, and I already love you.
The return of the rival fival !!!
JROSEEEEE!!! WITH ANOTHER BANGER
Another banger vid from Jrose
These videos just scratch that perfect nostalgic itch
Ooooh boy. I know it's going to take a loooong time but I'm looking forward to seeing Jrose do all of these pokemon again in FireRed and LeafGreen to see how the ranking changed between generations.
I’m gonna cry when the gen 1 solo vids come to an end :,(
Wooo, Upload!
Love tentacool! Can't wait to watch :)
Its been an awful week, but this was the highlight by a long shot. Thanks jrose for being light in a dark time.
My first shiny was a tentacool😂 in crystal greatly enjoyed that run i did in elite four at end. Love your vids btw❤
Stabil Bruder!
I did a Horsea run as my first attempt at one of these runs and I got a really good time despite not knowing exactly the quickest routes and stuff, so I’d be really curious to see how well you can do with it. Water types are just very powerful
I had to rub my eyes... Is that a new Jrose video 🩵.. liked and watching!
Love your vids Jrose❤
Arbok is my favourite pokemon. I wish that comes in, but every single one of your videos are amazing. And its interesting. And fun🎉😂
Been waiting for this one tentacool and cruel are some of the best pokemon in gen 1 by virtue of thier high special and excellent type
Poison is a garbage typing in Gen 1. What are you talking about? It's literally the worst type in Gen 1.
@@l4unchp4dgaming38 I would argue that the worst type is fighting, but yeah poison is the second no doubt, Tentacruel has the same problem as gengar in Gen 1, awesome mon held back for being half-poison, if it was mono water it would be in OU with starmie and slowbro.
@@Arshield285 I can agree with that.
