Victreebel has great moves and great stats and is very good. Does anyone actually read these? You should they are very funny. I am very funny.

Damn you get sponsors now? Nice
It was posted a minute ago, how is this 11 hours old?
hi
Yes, I said "the thing" when you asked for and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
@@kyledevino2721you can upload videos then schedule them to release at a later time but already comment on them as the creator or someone they give the option to. most creators usually do that to give youtube time to properly render the video so its available in max resolution when released
Oh hey, I edited this one! Hope y'all like it :)
I am :)
But is JRose actually funny like he says🤔
Oh neat your doing editing for other channels now?
That animated victreebell is a nice touch
Ok
slay
I don't mind hearing the badge boost glitch explanation each video, it's part of the experience
Much like the badge boost itself it's not a bug but a feature!
It's like Mahdrybreads fossil joke each video has to be done or its not a proper video
It's the type of thing that is annoying but necessary.
Same. This could be someone's first introduction to jrose
@@brianbethel9673so I’m wondering which he took in today’s challenge, i guess the dome fossil 😂 praise 🐌
(Haven’t seen it yet btw)
14:30
“The BADGE BOOST GLITCH”
Say it all together
Badge boost unintended mechanic!
Explaining the badge boost glitch just feels like tradition at this point
Just like MahDryBread's fossil joke in every run where you get to pick a fossil, except for the Shedinja only run where the sandstorm would knock out Shedinja, which is why he didn't get the fossil joke in that run.
It's like mdb and fossils
@@theforeverchild1191 yep, and JR11 and Badge Boost Glitch (feature), except eventually this feature being explained will come to an end here in Gen 1 if he only covers the Pokemon that get to use this feature in Gen 1, and not Pokemon from other generations programmed to be used in Gen 1.
Imagine a bus...
Agreed. I can’t fall asleep without that explanation!
Can't believe James could tank base 105 attacks from Victreebel so often in the anime
James Pokemon stats must've been much higher in the anime 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
You mean James the Mighty Moltres? :P
@@Mewseeker oh that one. I see.
He's just built different like the Chad he is.
Humans have stats comparable to Arceus in the Pokemon World - thats why the Pokemon are obeying them XD (my headcanon)
Dream eater victreebel sounds terrifying. The whole giant plant with fangs eating my head
*James' Victreebel intensifies*
I just think of that one scene from Peter Jackson's King Kong, where that one guy gets gobbled up by those terrifying looking worms. Yeah, I know he wasn't dreaming it, but it still makes me shudder.
James knows that feeling.
@@ForeverLaxx LEO BURNETT AND 4KIDS ARE THE DEVIL
God I wish that were me
When calculating razor leaf's crit chance, You divide 512 by 8, not 4
"For those of you who are bad at math, like me..."
Checks out.
Oh cool, right answer the wrong way, that's how, thanks! I was wondering about that.
@@conza1989 yeah, trying to remember which power of 2 is divided by which power of 2 sometimes can be messy
2 ÷ 2 = critical hit. 😊😊😊
I thought that was a joke 🤣
My favorite thing about this series is just seeing all the back sprites of the Pokemon. I've played these games before but I never used every pokemon so it's nice seeing all the ones I never did in game the way they were meant to seen as.
512 divided by 4 is 64.
Oh JRose, never change 😂
😂😂😂 Ik I wasn't tripping. I knew it was 128
New trend on CZcams is to make mistakes on purpose to drive the comments from people who just can’t help themselves but correct the error.
@@WTJBlogI can confirm first-hand (Discord message) that it definitely wasn't for that purpose. He's actually addressed things in the comments before, like how the super effective/not very effective messages sometimes display when it deals neutral damage, et cetera, and telling people to stop leaving comments about it xD
Yeah. He really is bad at math
At least the 64 number is correct :P Its 512/8
Victreebel has a special place in my heart.
When I first got Pokemon Blue, I picked Charmander because the idea of the little fire goblin being my fire goblin was too exciting an idea to pass up.
I had no idea how things worked in the game. I assumed "Attack" correlated to everything that wasn't your Pokemon's type (i.e. if Charmander some how learned how to use Water Gun, it would base the power of the attack off of the Attack stat), and thereby it meant special dictated that your same type attack would draw from that stat.
Beating Brock was a little rough, but I leveled up my Charmander to a Charmeleon and embered away.
When I got to Misty I panicked because I was getting bodied.
So I went and got myself a Bellsprout. Used him to take down Misty because in my mind Vinewhip was the end all be all.
Over the course of my very first play through of a Pokemon game, that Bellsprout evolved into a Weepinbell and I found out the leaf stone evolved it through happenstance.
It ultimate outleveled my Charizard, it was my best buddy.
That first wild ride through Pokemon Blue was made so much better by this goofy goober and it was amazing.
:)
Aka, my hunter is in my first play thru.
22:40 "I'm gonna delete Razor Leaf. I know, scandalous!"
Oh god that had me rolling xD
I’m kinda glad he treats every one of these like the first, because it was my first, and I wasn’t aware of the badge boost glitch. This was a fun watch!
This Victreebel run gets the OG Bug Catcher official stamp of approval! 👍
What is a Victreebel if not a giant bug catcher?
"And for those of you who are bad at math like me, 512 divided by 4 is 64"
-JRose11, math genius
At this point an explanation of something related to gen 1 is an integral part of these videos.
I tend to explain it in unison with him
Anyone else miss the old piano intro? And the Count?
When he busted out that intro recently I was reminded of how much that I missed it.
The count was good for me
Piano intro is goated, but as long as "hey everyone, how's it going?" never leaves us, I'll make it.
I really miss both I hope he brings it back
For a while the count was overused, but now I think it's been underused as of late, so yeah we need more count
That Gen 1 stat spread is insane. He's not physically bulky, but he's SpD bulky, and a decently-speedy mixed attacker.
Oh hell yes, victreebl is a monster, maybe the most benefited by Gen 1’s eccentricities.
After watching the whole video, granted that jrose only does one play through and he admitted to some sloppy routing and play, it’s still a great run that left a fair amount of time on the table
In a solo playthrough, definitely. In a competitive sense, it definitely does benefit, but I think that one of those eccentricates, namely poison type being 100% a curse for most mons who have it, brings it down a lot.
Also bad movepool but like who doesn't have a terrible movepool in gen 1
@@wadespencer3623 good thing then that this is a video and really whole channel about solo play throughs and dual type poison types are actually usually excellent, especially in red/blue because the AI just breaks in several important battles. Sure, in gen 1 OU exeggutor is strictly better but we aren’t talking about that context.
I always wondered who was better, if Vileplume or Victreebel.
@@counterfan90pretty sure Vileplume doesn’t get swords dance, which puts it far behind Victreebell. Scott’s Thoughts did a versus of the two in yellow version that’s worth checking out if you’ve got time
0:30 wait. Am I trippin or is this vic moving?! Thats some next level editing shit, i have not seen from poketubers before
Likely done via Live2D.
CZcamsrs like TrueGreen7 and Lockstin also animate the pictures of Pokémon during their videos
But it is a cool editing niche!
depends on the editor and poketuber, the editor of this video actually commented on the video
I'm a simple man. I see a new Jrose video, I watch tf outta if
Me too 😁
Moves in gen 1 that have a high critical hit ratio, for those that are new, the 512 that's used divided by base speed for critical hits, is divided by 8, so 512 ÷ 8 = 64, and the base speed divides into 64, and gives you the percentage chance to crit, and since Victreebel's base speed is 70, that's a 100% chance to crit, minus the 1/256 chance it doesn't crit, so a 99.601% chance to critical hit. Now Pokemon like Bellsprout and Bulbasaur have a base speed of like 40 or so I think, so they have like a less than 2/3 chance to crit, less than 66% chance to crit, still high, but not guaranteed. Now if your base speed is 64 or higher with these sort of moves, and you accidentally use Guard Spec. or Focus Energy, it divides the 99.601% crit chance by 4, so like a 24.9% chance to crit, which is good for you if you plan to take advantage of the badge boost glitch, but unfortunately that's still about the same crit chance as Mewtwo, or slightly less, and you'll still occasionally get a critical hit at that percent, and it's higher than Starmie's base crit chance of 22.46%, so yeah go figure, you're still hoping to not crit to take advantage of the badge boost glitch, otherwise a crit ignores the boosts.
Edit: TangerineTux in one of the replies to my comment mentioned me saying Guard Spec, and they asked if I meant Dire Hit, and yes that's what I meant, I wasn't thinking clearly when I made this long message.
Guard Spec just blocks things like I think Sand Attack, anything that lowers any of your stats (I think that's what Attack, Special, Speed, Accuracy, and Defense are), Dire Hit is bugged in Gen 1, and divides your crit chance by 4 instead of multiplying it by 4.
Dang almost 20 likes and I was never notified of getting my first like? Wow, thanks everyone! I mean, JRose11 pretty much explained the crit chances in the video, but I just figured I'd explain for new people that came to this video! I never thought I would get noticed here lol, so thanks everyone. 😅😅😅
Now 38 likes, almost 40 likes!
Now 43 likes!
I saw 49 likes, so I liked it too to make it 50 lol. Thanks everyone.
Guard Spec? Do you mean Dire Hit?
Hey Jrose! Been watching for at least 3 years and am happy to see you take on sponsors. You deserve to make an income off the effort you put into this and the audience appreciates the incentive to produce content.
I do want to say that if you can, carefully consider what sponsors you take.
There's a difference between plugging a brand you know provides a quality product/experience... And reading off a script for whatever benign looking company offered you a bunch of money.
Well said.
Love to have this as a comparison point to Scott's Thoughts' thorough investigation of Victreebel Supremacy in Yellow.
It’s a shame JRose’s results were so much worse than Scott’s.
@@stopstoppYellow trades the Pidgey line for the Sandshrew line, which alone does wonders for Victreebel's viability. Plus it's different metrics in general.
Charizard being the final Pokémon also makes a difference.
JRose: "Hi, today we are doing another poison type"
Lance's Dragonite: "Brah...."
Man, I've watched so many of these that i didn't even think about powering up body slam with swords dance... i just went "oh yeah, badge boost, of course" and forgot that you would actually benefit from its intended use until you explained the glitch
I’ve been waiting for this video and I can’t wait to see which Pokémon you try next
I'm hoping for a Sunkern challenge run in Gen 2. Arguably the weakest Pokémon to ever exist. You think early Pokémon games are virtually impossible to beat (in one lifetime) with Weedle and Caterpie? Ho boy, that lil' seedling will be torture~
@@MLPIcebergI believe MahDryBread did this Sunkern only challenge in Gen 2 back in 2019 for his 2nd or 3rd challenge, but I know, not the point, we all want to see JRose11 do it!
@MLPIceberg
Sunkern can't beat Falkner on minimum battles with max DVs @GSCpokemonchallenges
So excited for this one! I love when you drop new videos 😊
I've always loved Victreebel, having had a love for Grass types since Gen 1, but my all time favorite Pokemon will always be Bulbasaur. Razor Leaf really was a godsend for it, as was its' typing, due to Gen 1 being held together by duct tape, rubber bands, and dreams. Victreebel came decently close, but still not anywhere close enough to beating the almighty Mewtwo's time. Still, I tip my hat to it for a job well done.
Great video as always. Can't wait to see the Master List when we're done. Your getting close. Few I an still interested in are Kangaskhan, Kabutops/Kabuto, Horsea/Seadra, Doduo/Dodrio, and Vulpix/Ninetales.
Was just done rewatching another jrose video when this came out :D awesome!
Nice moving graphic there for the Victreebel. It's cool to see you putting in more effects for this run.
The run itself went a lot better than I thought it would too. Gotta love those Gen 1 mechanics, but it's great to see the flytrap getting its glory here. Very well done.
Love the change to how you present stats and move set in the beginning! I had to pause and zoom before because I'm watching on my phone. Huge improvement :)
Can I say how much nicer the colors of the Bulbapedia's types are now? Man, they're really pleasant.
I hate them
Ive grown carnivorous plants since i was a kid, so victreebel was always one of my favourites.
Great to see it do well at something
I just found your channel like a month ago and I’m so excited that you’re still posting videos because this is awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing.
he's basically the only poketuber I know of that has done so many damn solo runs lol
Subscribed because your videos are always awesome!
A Victreebel using Sleep Powder + Dream Eater is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on Gen 1
Good morning Jrose! Thanks for another upload!
When you divide 512 by 4 you get 128, when I divide 512 by 4 I get 64, we are not the same
Each run you upload, I love for their individual uniqueness. This one just felt really good. Well done 👏
If there is a new editor what happened to simplyAj?
I miss when pokemon games had a mandatory ship travel part like Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3. Battling on a ship was the most fun part for me.
It was great to see just how powerful a Grass type can really be, especially with how limited Grass moves were then. One thing I'd say if you were doing optimizations would be to space out Rare Candies a bit, like figure out the minimum you'd need for rival 6, that way you have more candies to prevent leveling up midway through Elite Four members, like Agatha. That said, great video as always!
Oh finally!!! I am so excited for a new jrose banger
Victreebel! A vastly underrated pokemon for gen 1 runs ❤
I've been waiting for this one! We all knew it would be here eventually! On to Victree!...bel
Cool run. You are the CZcamsr that got me watching Pokémon things ! I would love to watch you try your hand at Kaizo!!
Good to see you back jrose, keep on rocking brother! Victreebell is dominant in rby with swords dance, body slam, razor leaf and sleep powder. Perfectly reflected here j rose
3:55 “and for those of you who are bad at math like me, 512 divided by 4 is 64.” 😂
512 divided by 4 is not 64.... it's 128
He literally says "for those of you who are bad at math like me.."
Dry sarcasm went over your head
woah!! genius alert!!!
@MSgtRazor No, Jrose just got that wrong. He claimed high critical chance moves divide the denominator by 4, in reality it is 8. Unless you want to suggest he lied in that segment to make a "dry sarcasm joke"? Which I don't believe, I think he misspoke and mixed 8 with 4
The rest of his explanation wouldn’t make sense so no, it wasn’t sarcasm. It was a mistake
I just heard this and he’s fucking with me, right 😂😂😂😂
I been binging the old videos all day. Imagine my surprise to see a new one drop!
Saving this for the drive home tomorrow. Been waiting for the Victreebell run
Is AFK Journey the new RAID: Shadow Legends?
I swear everyone I'm subscribed to has been shilling for that game this week.
It's got DIVERSE, BIG MAPS!!! Everyone loves that!
But the easy Gameplay and fun to uncover Maps
easy paycheck lol
Bro same I swear over the last two days I've seen half my subs advertise it 😂
I mean when you have a dozen or more stored footage of unpublished runs, gotta milk that paid promotion cow, right?
Watching these videos got me playing Pokémon Red again 😂😂😂
Would love to see a red/blue run with you using your dream team. Like a full team. That’d be sick! 🤩
Great idea!
Eeeee, so happy to see my favorite Grass-type do so well! Victreebel's always been one of my favorites, I use it a lot, especially in Gen 1, so yeah, soon as I saw Razor Leaf in that starting moveset, I knew this was a crit machine.
Victreebel will truly be a victorious pokemon to do a solo run with
Finally Gen 1 again thanks!!!
Just as I was feeling a little down, you saved my night Jrose!
I've been waiting for Victreebel. Excited to see how this plays out
512/4 is 128 i do believe jrose when he says that hes bad at maths
The badge boost glitch!!!!
Been looking forward to this one
As you said Jrose, "Every video is somebodies first". Keep explaining the beautiful weirdness of Gen 1, we'll never get tired of it :)
512/4 is not 64 looool
Maybe he meant 512/8?
BADGE BOOST GLITCH!!!!
Hey jrose love your videos! Can’t wait to see the ducks video (psyduck or golduck) I think they’re going to be up in the good tier
My man being at it once more, time for a good time watching jrose❤❤❤
3:56 512/4 = 128
right im so lost wtf. He divided by eight and mispoke i guess?
@LeetTron5000 High-crit moves have 8 times higher crit chance, not 4. He either assumed it was 4 and didn't check the calculation, or he knew it was 8 but misspoke
512 / 4 = 128...
Fantastic vid as always diamond and jrose
I like how this ended up being almost a tutorial for the new viewers about all (like 10% of) the ways gen 1 is broken
512 divided by 4 is 128 not 64
I think victreebell is the best Pokémon for this format in gen1. Including Mewtwo because of the level up group. Source: Scott's Thought's. Let's see how the true king deals with it.
Nicely done! I didn't even think about how good the type combo would be for Victreebel based on trainer AI! Would love to see a slowbro run or some fossils!
For the EV on the main game, the first time we'd see them in the main game was Sun/Moon actually. Most Ace trainers are EVed, as every boss too.
8:20 there is a healing spot on the SS anne. You have a room assigned to you so you can use the bed to rest. This won’t affect dig because it won’t register as a Pokémon center.
That's in Fire Red/Leaf Green, not in red and blue
Stoked for this challenge!!
8:10 I appreciate you talking about why you don't go to pokemon centers sometimes to heal. It was really bothering me for a bit why you used hyper potions and ethers instead of healing. Thanks for the explanation
channel's doin well. keep it up GOAT
It's always a good day when Jrose posts a new video xD
Good run! Would love to see the Ledyba Soul Silver run, waiting for it since the Spinarak heart gold run
I've been waiting for Victreebel! Good enough moves and stats to plow through the game. And never apologize JRose for explaining stuff JRose. Sometimes those brief explanations can capture the new viewers awe, I know it did for me long ago!
JRose your content is top tier!!
Dream Eater was one of my favorite moves back when I first got to play Red and Yellow.
😄👍
Huge fan of the channel! I think a Pokémon that you need to do a run with soon is Kabutops, I did one and got a pretty good time but I want to see how someone as experienced as you can do
Never expected a crossover between a music reviewer and a Solo 'mon runner..
18:28 19:55 20:35 SILENCE, EXEGGCUTE!
27:22 SILENCE, EXEGGUTOR!
So glad to see you back Mr. Rose 🎉🎉 let's goooooooo!!!!!!!
Jrose is amazing... Yada Yada Yada... love the content... Yada Yada yada... here's my like and comment as support. :)
I think if you would not waste a little bit of time with trying rival 5 and go to Koga, then with rival 6 by going back to fight 1 trainer and as you said at the end you would learn giga drain Victreebell could make a better time than Gengar. Was waiting for this mon for a long time, thanks for the video :D
I've had my heart set on this one! Tbh, I thought ol' Vic might take the throne (besides Mewtwo), though that whole tier is within inches of each other. Definitely as fun to watch as it was for you to play!
Been waiting years for this one!!
My favorite Pokemon finally gets a shot on the Jrose channel!
Well done as always
Yay! A new episode, I just finished all the other gen 1 videos.
Who could ever get tired of hearing about the legendary Badge Boost Glitch?? I more feel sorry for you having to repeat it every video lol. But even after rewatching your videos, I never grow tired of hearing it!
21:26 :,) I've been waiting for so long to hear that!
I actually shouted "badge boost glitch" out loud on pure reflex.
I've been excited for this one since the Bellsprout run. Good luck Victreebell!
