  • With the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, I took on the challenge of completing the Pokedex as fast as possible, and while I normally attempt this with only the newest Pokemon, I tried to complete the entire Pokedex of all 400 Pokemon. This is how it went. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

    @JanembaFreak Před rokem +293

    Taunt, healing pulse, false swipe, hypnosis Gallade is actually the best shiny hunter in pokemon too. Has been for a few gens now. Taunt stops stuff like memento and perish song, heal pulse stops self damaging moves and weather, and false swipe and hypnosis are self explanatory. Only thing he doesn't stop is explosion/self-destruct, so make sure to have a mon with damp. Also raise Kirlia to at least lvl 43 before evolving. Gallade doesn't learn heal pulse by level up and it isn't a tm. Kirlia learns it at 43 tho, so if you wait until then to evolve you can have it on your Gallade. And if you find a mon that has an ability that neutralizes other abilities like neutralizing gas and also explodes, like Galarian Weezing, buddy just use your master ball that boy's gonna blow

    • @JanembaFreak
      @JanembaFreak Před rokem +21

      Hidden Ability Parasect is the best damp mon btw. Only one that can learn false swipe. Also he gets spore which is great. I still prefer Gallade for my general hunting tho due to heal pulse and taunt helping my crippling anxiety. No mons currently in Scarlet/Violet can have damp and learn False Swipe

    • @EasternUmi

      Breloom does it better with 100% accuracy spore and can learn false swipe.

    • @JanembaFreak
      @JanembaFreak Před rokem +5

      @@EasternUmi Breloom has accuracy on its sleep move over Gallade, yes, but comes with some drawbacks. Can't put grass types to sleep for one, and misses out on almost all other utility catching moves. No taunt and no heal pulse. So, if a mon with, say, memento wakes up on you, it can kill itself without you being able to do anything about it. It does get rain dance/sunny day, so it can get rid of sandstorm chip damage, which is nice. But gallade also gets those moves, so it's not a leg up on gallade.
      Personally I don't really get how Breloom is a strictly better catching mon. I'd much rather take the lower accuracy on hypnosis to have no immunities to my sleep move and way more catching utility for shinies. In fact as far as spore users go, I'd say Parasect is explicitly better in generations he's in just because of Damp.
      So yeah, I highly disagree that Breloom is better for the purposes of shiny hunting, but if you like him more go ahead and use him instead of gallade. It's your game and your pokemon, use the ones you like

    At first I hated pawmi’s evolutions because they just stand up and not much changed but now I kinda like them and pawmot changes enough for me to be satisfied even though pawmo is literally pawmi standing up with a lighter colour fur.

    I think the best way to setup for pokedex completion is to focus on your quests with Arven (Which I thankfully did cuz Nemona was driving me crazy) to get your abilities while catching everything you see, beat the game, then come back around and start evolving everything you caught and IDEALLY have a glare pokemon like sandaconda for pesky catch rate mons. You can utilize T wave, but you know, ground types like Ting Lu and paradox Donphans aren't affected. Prolly not the FASTEST way to do it, but definitely cuts the headache of backtracking cuz once you can climb glide and swim you have complete access to the map..
    I still like SwSh bike better though... Idk if Miraidon controls any better, but Koraidon feels like a sack of bricks sometimes I hate it. The SwSh bike is somuch smoother.
