How Fast Can You Beat Pokemon Red/Blue with just an Electabuzz?

- After the Magmar Mistake, I decided to make sure not to make the same mistake for Electabuzz. That means the run was super easy right? Well I think Brock and others had something to say about that!

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
We are officially at the halfway point of this series. Between Caterpie, Metapod, Kakuna and Magikarp NOT being able to beat the game and both Nidoran sharing a video, there are 146 possible solo runs (Weedle not withstanding) and we are at video 73.
It's a shame Weedle requires luck and a perfect pokémon.
Doesn’t Kakuna get harden and poison sting ? I think with badge boosts that may be a viable run
@@G.R.O.M413no. It only gets Harden via level up.
@G.R.O.M413 Harden is Kakunas only move in a solo capacity, it can (and almost always does) have poison sting through weedle, but it doesn't technically learn it itself. So a solo run would have to evolve a weedle into a kakuna, and even then, it would need ungodly amounts of luck to beat even Sabrina, let alone Agatha or Lance, and even with the EASIEST possible rival I doubt you're getting past fival
Don't forget there's also a MissingNo video
Laughed out loud when you used the Carbos on the Spearow and didn't mention it at all in the narration, these runs are packed with interesting content I love it
i also laughed way too hard :D
I noticed that too lol
It's really nice to see HM mules finally getting some love they always deserved
@@user-yn1yn4qq4i When I played gen 1 I tried to integrate all the HM moves into my team. Or rather, I did that. I didn't think as much about optimization back then (and having HM moves was definitely not the only way my team wasn't optimized!), but perhaps it was for the better since I had a good time and didn't fret so much over stuff.
I still do think it's a reasonable conduct to try to include HM users in one's pokémon teams, though. It makes sense given the flavor context -- trainers get around using their pokémon, and they owe their experiences to their pokémon as much as the other way around. Even if it's just for "roleplaying" purposes, it makes sense to have an assortment of both battling moves and utility moves. Makes the game feel more fleshed out as a fictional setting.
So glad others picked up on this 😂
That pause when he used the Carbos on the Spearow. Like "Did I really just do that?"
The worst part about a Jrose video is that it ends. I've already almost rewatched his entire catalouge, but these videos help me relax and get to sleep, so I might be going for another full watch soon. Keep up the great work, Jrose.
We need Year of Jrose
I use them to sleep too. But mainly his older stuff because he started yelling at tense moments in the newer stuff and it wakes me up. It's less now but still happens a bit.
@@FireBlazeXI was dreaming about good stuff and... "Noooo, Nooooo, NOOOOOOOOO9OOOOO!!!!!"
Me and wings of fire be like
I listen to Jrose, Squidgy, or Scott's Thoughts to sleep to also!
I appreciate the editor sneaking notes in more often for these runs. Their timing is spot on.
Yeah aj at this point I'm sure understands jrose so much that he works it in so well
The acronym was hilarious.
I was looking for this comment; I love the little interactions
Buzz can learn psychic, but gligar still learns no stab ground moves. Stellar job gamefreak
You would think that to build a new pokemon, you must check off some boxes, one of which is "does this pokemon learn any moves of its own type?"
They made up for it with Gliscor being one of the GOATs
Neither did Phanpy till Gen 8. Gamefreak hates Jotho ground types.
@@Propane_Acccessories Yanma as well falls under this curse in its debut gen.
@@EresirThe1st I was so happy when I got my first perfect CP mon as Gliscor in Pokemon GO :D
That Hiker in rock tunnel is practically a 9th gym leader at this point.
The real ground gym

Every Jrose upload seriously gives me life. I was thriving when he was doing those daily uploads that one time.
Maybe if we give this video 100k likes it might motivate him enough to do that again
I was drowning in a flood of videos that put me to sleep (in a good way) i barely kept up. Was a few days behind in the end.
Month of jrose was soo good
Long live the month of Jrose
Single handedly got me through 2020
I'm all on board with voltorb being the 100th solo run. Feels like something jrose would do.
How many more Fire and Electric runs does he have left to do?
Sonic boom crushes early game.
Small miss chance but yes
He round boy
Ball is life
Im loving the color scheme. It goes without saying, but JRose always nails it with the color pallets and the music!
No idea how long I've been watching maybe two years now but you just gave me something to appreciate more about his uploads 😊
Except that one time
Best palette yet
@@cameronl1859 agreed
He's the best at all of it. Mah Dry Bread is the worst
I like how the Yellow Tier is the "struggled against Brock, but was very good" tier.
A big thank you to Jrose and AJ, really enjoy these videos.
20:20 Carbos on Spearow to make it fly faster was a clutch move.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed
Werster style RNG manipulation
It's funny how he ignored the accidental Carbos use on Spearow
20:42, that was hilarious, you left it there for ages, the realization hahah
Dude thank you for doing these. You're such a genuine guy and absolutely deserve the recognition you've received.
I'm not sure what you are planning next, but I like the thematic releases like the nidos, hitmons, and electabuzz-magmar. I don't know why, but it's just fun to watch them that way. 😊 I would love to see a wigglytuff-clefable double feature soon!
Pidgeotto/Fearow/Dodrio could be a week of Flying themed releases
Gloom Weepinbell Parasect Tangela Vileplume Victreebel Venemoth etc. for a few Grass/Bug pairs
It's because there's a theme and not just random playthroughs....I mean you said it yourself, so you do know why.
That Carbos on the Spearow was clutch, probably saved your run!
It's here. He's here. It's time. Gather 'round.
It’s always a good day when Jrose uploads
It's a great day! 😺
Jrose videos are the perfect combo of interesting but relaxing. Great for bedtime and first thing in the morning. I always start a video and fall asleep then rewatch what I missed when I wake up.
What I really love are the kind of interactions between JRose and AJ. It always makes my day even more when they "communicate".
Ngl, the "Now's not the time for horsin around" made me laugh wayyyy more than it should have lol
Perfect timing I can fall asleep to this before I go in for my early shift tomorrow (Don't take that as your content being boring or anything your narrating is just very good noise)
TWO new jrose videos in the same week!? You love to see it!
Also I'm still mad that Jynx never got an evolution!
It never struck me Electivire and Magmortar happened, without Jynx getting an evo.
@@SombreroPharoah Exactly, they were always meant to be a trio! They were the original users of the three elemental punch moves in RBY, they all got baby forms in GSC and then Jynx just gets forgotten about afterwards 😭
Blame Western idiots for calling Jynx Blackface. Its supposed to be Gyaru, but after getting called racist, I assume they wanted to leave Jynx in the past.
...yeah, makes sense. Electabuzz essentially is Electrode in Gen 1 with Explosion and a higher crit rate swapped for Psychic/Body Slam.
Hello from Ottawa Jrose! I have been watching you since this series has started. Well, since the Squirdle episode. I love tracking the best runs, I hope you do something similar for other generations.
I love when Jrose uploads solos of a pair back to back, something very satisfying about that
These recent uploads give me the MONTH OF JROSE VIBES !
I have never felt the need to say this before but the colour scheme is on point in this one. Absolutely perfect.
Here i was just hoping for another video and here it is. I am glad he keeps uploading
Loved all the editor notes on this one. The color scheme was definitely on point too.
Ohh this is so quick after Magmar! Thank you Jrose!
These runs are so much fun to watch
You know it's going to be a great day when Jrose uploads!
Its 4am and I can't sleep, now I dont mind.
I've been around since the catch 'em alls, it's been a great ride, thanks a lot for all the content!
Always a pleasant surprise to see a new upload from Jrose
Thank you Jrose for all the entertaining videos!! With all the laughs, you’re channel and videos have helped me through some of my worst times!!! I save your whole playlist to revisit just for that reason! Keep up the great work!
16:24 I like Scott’s videos for this reason, he really puts in a ton of effort trying to create a consistent and optimized route. Love both your vids.
Always a good night when Jrose puts up another video, love the work
I've been around since I think the Emerald Ditto run, and I've watched nearly every video since then. You're just so entertaining, and I want to instead thank YOU for being such an amazing and entertaining content creator! Ps: Love the little editor notes, they're a great new addition 😂
Can't believe we're halfway done. Been here for a while, and I absolutely love these videos. Whenever one pops up it's an instant watch (or asap, if instant isn't possible) :D
Love this, and I'm glad you're here
THE EARLIEST IVE BEEN TO JROSE, NO REGRETS
Been watching these for a while they forever never get old or boring to me. It actually helps myself and others for strategy's and other ways to make the games more of a challenge or more of a way to blitz through the game. All I can say is thank you for making these even if it's not with said items people use on machamp etc again gaming with the pokemon and its original stat's with the occasional shopping for stat boosts. Again making the challenge fun yet fair too.
Great job Jrose and keep up the amazing work
This is awesome, you're doing great with these videos. It makes by week when you release one.
That was an electrifying exhibition exemplifying excellence, echoing earlier endeavours eventually ending effortlessly. I too love alliteration.
Every time I see a Jrose11 upload my eyes instantly widen and within seconds I click and know I everything will be alright. Sometimes I even have it on for background noise while doing work outside or cleaning. Something about pokemon and Jrose and being Nostalgia works perfectly together
The obvious companion run! Stupid excited for this one too!
Truly a nice break to watch some challenges that the Red/Blue solo series has to provide. Thanks for this, keep up the good work, love the content!
When you're done with this series, you should make a collage of screenshots of every Pokémon you've used with the color scheme you've used. The runs are great but the colors are possibly even better.
Can't wait to see how some of the more left out pokemon do like Likitung and Tangela do!
This Electabuzz run gets the OG Bug Catcher official stamp of approval! 👍
I always love when you have a fast turnaround on a promised video
Love these videos, also, lowkey great ASMR sleep videos. Thanks Jrose!
I love this format because these are long videos that I can easily run in the background while doing something.
One thing to note: You keep saying that you choose your Rival's starter depending on which one might give you the hardest time. This is neat at first sight for his "boss monster" but sometimes it might be a higher challenge if you looked at how the whole team would be altered when you choose a certain starter.
This video is a great example: You chose Bulbasaur because the Grass Typing would give you a harder time compared to the other two that are weak against your type. On the other hand, you can use Psychic move that lets Venusaur struggle. If you instead chose Squirtle for your rival's starter, he would have had Blastoise instead of Gyarados, where Blastiose could at least survive a hit while Gya with its 4x weakness would fall no matter what and he would have Exeggutor which is a way bigger wall against your Electabuzz than Venusaur does.
i believe he talked about this before and that he chooses the starter that is strong against his pokemon if there is one to kinda mimic the way the game would do it if you could actually choose any given pokemon as your starter, and if none of the starters are clear picks he considers the rest of the team
Every Jrose vid is awesome and always so wholesome too. Keep up the great work congrats on making it to the halfway point!
The speed run monologue was kinda funny to me as one of the reasons I love your channel is that you came up with your own challenge mode with it's own defined rules. Keep doing you man - I love these videos and can't wait to see the final tier list!
Love the videos man, and electabuzz is a personal favorite of mine, glad it did as good a job as it did
Was so excited for this one after magmar. Jrose finally gets to my favorite pokemon!
Hey Buzz came quicker than I thought! Electric types definitely get the short end of the stick in Gen 1. I hope Thunderbolt will help carry it
I don't think electric types were shafted in Gen 1 as much as electric types just sucked but as a type being able to answer Water and Flying is often enough of a role on a team. It is just that Electabuzz is unfocused, Electrode is just speed and nothing else, Magneton doesn't have any movepool and doesn't take hits well or out speed much, Raichu is a middle evolution playing at being fully evolved but both Jolteon and Zapdos are meta defining, and their type is a huge reason why.
NGL, i absolutly LOVE your videos, commentary style and that you actually explain everything crystal clear
Yooo i started watching at the begining of this series and i love every video keep it going gonna be sad to see it end but so excited to see whats in store!!
Late night Jrose? Yes please!
J Rose notification gets clicked immediately
Jrose: "One time to champion!"
Lance: ... "and I took that personally"
Taking charge with these W Uploads keep it up Jrose and AJ 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I dub him boommaster. The rock tunnel hiker.
I can't remember what my first one was, but I've been here for a year or two, and I do really enjoy your videos. I did inventory at work one evening, and while I didn't enjoy being up at 12 am scanning tags, your videos helped make the experience way more bearable.
I love seeing these videos to death, one of the best series on YT rn.
I wish we could see more middle forms of 3 stage lines. We got Poliwhirl, what about things like Kadabra, Machoke, Pidgeotto and Dragonair
It's really cool you've come such a long way. Keep up the awesome work JRose!
I say this as the biggest compliment I’ve ever given into a content creator: your videos make me sleep like a baby, your voice is like a lullaby.
thank you for your dedication
I love your *challenge* runs, Jrose!
Jrose you’re the only one I have notifications on for. Thank you big dog. You are top tier
Jrose, I came across your vids via CZcams suggestions when scrolling for something to watch and I have never looked back. It's interesting to see how a pokemon can perform doing a solo run and whenever I'm busy, it's also something good to listen to along the side too :) keep up the great work
It is wonderful reliving my late ninties with you watching these runs. Great way to relax during the evening after work. Thanks for the great content and appreciate the honest human nature of the whole thing. Fine to leave full optimisation to AI in my view. Cheers!
Found your channel at the first impossible Red/Blue Magikarp fun and have been hooked since! I feel like I win the Agatha lottery every time a Jrose video is uploaded!
The video I’ve been waiting for years. Thank you for this upload. ✌🏻
Wunderbar! I like Electabuzz, not to be underestimated!
I really enjoy these. I find them fun. Keep up the good work!
Honestly started looking at your vids during the sun/moon days. Trying to get some of the trickier hidden abilities from those SOS chains, some of those tips were invaluable to me. I haven't really played pokemon since, but these solo challenge runs definitely scratch that nostalgic itch.
i love the series!! and it's really good you kept going, and i hope the follow up series gets as much love as this one since it'll probably be amazing!!!!!!!!
Yo man this is super nostalgic, I'm glad I found your channel!! Keep up the good work
I have followed you since your Online Battles on ORAS. It's being a long journey and I am glad you are still doing excellent content!
Love the videos, keep them coming!
I've been so hyped for the electabuzz video for so long
I can't believe I haven't been subscribed this whole time despite loving this series so much. Fixed that!
AJ does a great job love the little side notes :D
Love the content and I really enjoy, that your editor kind of interacts with you via his inputs like the acronym for THE BOOM HIKER or how the electabuzz got poisoned before surge
Hyped for the new series, and also the complete JRose11 gen 1 tier list.
Also: gg on beating the ledge before Victory Road on your first try.
Wow, I just checked out of curiosity and boom new video!
Excellent vid once again dude, keep it up!
Much love Jrose, love your videos!
Amazing gameplay as always. Love Electabuzz. Favorite part of the video for me was the long pause when you realized you gave the carbos to the Spearow on accident in Silph. Can't tell you how many times I accidentally did that. Keep up the great work!
Awesome channel, awesome project!!
Keep ‘em coming!!!
Dawg I watched all your vids. They're actually entertaining.
Absolutely love this video! So much better than anticipated. Farfetche'd did so good, especially having swordsdance! I am shocked he made A tier list. Thanks for making the video. Sorry im so late watching it. Ive got quite a few videos to catch up on now!
