- Today I'm playing through Pokemon Gold with only a Dunsparce. This strange land-snake deserves more attention, so today we're going to give it to her! It starts out with only the damage dealing move Rage which I don't have good memories of from Generation one...
I do a lot of Pokemon Yellow Challenges as well as occasional Pokemon Red and Blue videos. I expect to expand my content into Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire in the near future! In addition to these challenges I'm planning to start longer form Nuzlocke series in the near future.

Used a held Berry vs Falkner because I forgot your starter starts with one. RIP, failed the challenge right away. Haha. I decided not to reset just because he was incredibly easy anyways, I didn't even heal before him.
We forgive you it’s okay.
...
Put out another video or you’re cancelled.
Lol jk
Has anyone done an only-sleeping pokemon challenge yet? As in, no attacking when awake.
To atone you must now do a Venemoth run so we all learn some facts about it!
Just kiddin’ much love, these videos are great!
So held items are also disallowed? I'm so used to "no items in battle, held items and items outside of battle are allowed"... :)
Despite all my rage I am still just a snake in a cave
Incredible.
Hahahaha
I sung this in my head and I thank you for that
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🤟🏾🔥🤟🏾
Rage is also the reason why Totodile is commonly considered the best starter in Johto. It’s a move it gets early on and can easily sweep the first few gyms with.
Yeah I heard especially for Speed Runners Croconaw is the Whitney Killer trough rage
It the main pokemon in Manipless runs and gold and Silver which aren't as active as Crystal. In the any % glitchless Crystal Run they use Totodile until burnt tower, Where they then catch the freed raikou with a manipulated Master Ball won from the lottery. Also in HGSS Cyndaquil is the standard starter but they do the same thing as the crystal run and catch Raikou using it for the rest of the game. HGSS Manipless catches a level 40 magikarp and evolves it.
@@Acacius1992 sure is. Rage falkner and bugsy gyms. Evolve it, teach it fury cutter (its pre evolution cant learn it). Fury cutter whitney and pray to god that clefairy metronome doesnt fk up the chain in someway. 2 shot miltank even if it uses milk drink
@@Acacius1992 though speedrunmers make HEAVY use of a couple of potions and mandatorily using oran berry
@@212mochaman Thar make sense^^ I prefer glitchless Speedruns in general. I will not say its cheating using a glitch or that it dont need knowledge/Talent to use it... but still they are less intersting for me
Dunsparce is actually pretty fantastic. I like putting rollout on him. His stats might not be anything to write home about, but he gets access to a decent enough movepool to be usable.
Up next is a video exploring Rollout!
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon it's a ridiculously overpowered move, especially in gen 2. It can turn the weakest Pokemon (I'm looking at you, Shuckle) into a gym sweeper.
Maybe for the video, try to find out what the weakest, most frail Pokemon is that learns it, and see how far you can get with it. It might end up being a baby Pokemon.
Dunsprce has nothing to write home about? Lmao mate i cheated a dunsprce into pokemon reborn as my starter and sweeper the game...that is literally the hardest pokemon game ever created lmao dunsparce is MUCH better than it seems so i strongly suggest you not underestimate it. This is probably my favorite pokemon for how fun it is, all ya need is 2 defense curls and you can kill just about anything
@@nekogaming5300 I said his STATS were nothing to write home about, I said he has a good movepool. learn to read homie.
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon I may be wrong, this js purely based on memory, but I've always been loved and therefore been disappointed in Donphan. It looks so cool to me, and in the anime it's rollout was really impressive to me. So in game, i've always wanted to play it with Rollout. I can't remember which is correct if any, but i've never managed to make it work. Either its Gold/Silver version exclusive, or its not available till Blackthorn, or it can't even learn Rollout. OR it can and I've done it, only for it to not do well at all to the point where I swapped it out anyway. All i know is i want a bulky, rollout-based OHKO Donphan that i can play the whole game through in a solo run and i've never fully realised the dream.
That is one angry snake. She did mellow out towards the end though. To the point that she prefers to sleep off all that pent up stress, and repay your care and patience tenfold.
I fear that the day dunsparce opens its eyes is the day we'll regret everything. It has the energy a child who did something bad and was put on the naughty step by Arceus and is now just biding it's time until it can get up again
Well, I am 34 and I started buying the old 1st and 2nd gen a while ago and they made me feel happy so I understand how you enjoy doing this videos
I'm 33 I've bought all up to gen4 so far lol
@@ryantaylor1142 gen 5 is cool but I dont know if I would enjoy taht much the new ones in 3D
@@NickOleksiakMusic me or Ryan?
Don't think I ever got stuck in Crystal. Then again I habitually read everything and wandered all over the place
The slowpoke well graphic only made sense to me as a kid because of the rocket standing in front of it. I remembered rockets standing in front of doors in gen 1 and the stairs graphic looks ripped straight out of Links awakening on the GB
22:03 "and it one hits the Kingdra"
Me doing anything else: now u have all my attention again sir
I love Dunsparce, its such a cute little snake. One of my favorite Pokemon tbh.
I just wish it had better stats
@@johannesboomsma4680 or if it evolved into drampa so it gets to use eviolite
Dunsparce was always an amusing Pokémon to me. Seeing it win in Johto makes me happy.
"for all the people not looking at the screen" Scott I'm listening while driving home from work how do you expect me to watch.? 😅
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon thanks for the good content (even thou I missed a girlfriend reference) and have a good one, best from switzerland:)
Mind reader into hypnosis miss is the most hilarious and anti-climactic shit ever
Chuck: "The perfect combo...Mind Reader into Hypnosis."
*POLIWRATH's attack missed!*
"What...how!?"
28:27 Pretty sure Elite Four Karen is the exact opposite of a regular Karen, so I don't think you'll have to worry about her "pulling a Karen" on you.
Not “getting stuck,” exactly, but another thing about unclear tile graphics: younger me playing Red and Blue thought that the man blocking the entrance to Cerulean Cave looked like he was wearing a tall black hat. Like the guards at Buckingham Palace. The tile for the entrance to the cave was lined up with that man’s sprite in just the right way that it looked to me like they were a single image.
OMG I'm dying. I can never unsee this...
Im gonna show love to the rare Fire types in the first couple of Generations and go team Magmar for the win on that video down the line.
Nah, age is just a number, im around your age and I watch your videos for the nostalgia and because of good content so keep it going bro. I've been shreading guitar for 25+ years, and since I don't want to put down the Axe, I miss out on alot of time being able to play good games like this or anything new that comes out. I gravitate to channels like this to catch up on older/newer games while I enjoy my hobbie. Thank you as always Scott, I'll be back for the next one.
I believe in the manga Bruno was hypnotized to helping the elite 4 ( who are evil ) and once their plans where foiled Bruno was able to keep his job because he's the only one that wasn't evil.
Rest talk with toxic for Red was a great strategy. That snorlax is always a problem.
Legend has it that his snorlax can body slam cynthia's spiritomb.... Without scrappy
Awesome run, it's cool seeing Dunsparce getting through without serene grace stunlocking. Love that weird little tsuchinoko.
It’s a long “I” on Ilex Forest.
I've always loved dunsparce, he's so cute. I always use one if its available. I think in my first run through of gold version I had one that ended up being level 80 or something. Thanks for the video!
Yeah, I love it now too! It's awesome in the early game as well.
Finally, a second member to add to the "I beat Whitney's Miltank on my first attempt with a Dunsparce" club. ☺
Pro Tip: Chinchou is an absolute HMslave, since it can learn flash, surf, waterfall, and whirlpool. It can be caught in Olivine city harbour and New bark town, using good rod. Hope it helps.
"God, I said this line 5 times" Lol i know that feeling
I love Dunsparce, it's such a weird outlier Pokemon. I'm a sucker for obscure 'mons like Dunsparce. My favorite HGSS let's play makes excellent use of a Dunsparce and he's just a good old boy in general.
Can’t wait for another awesome video Dunsparce is my favorite Pokémon
Now that's a rather uncommon statement :D
Why?
You have such great personality in your videos :)
As always, a great episode and looking forward to the next one!
I had a fantastic time watching you show off the glory of my 2nd favourite Pokémon of all! Your little Rage backstory at the start was fascinating (I also knew of few Pokémon fans growing up) and there were plenty of enjoyable hijinks and exciting close moments. Glad you came to love the cute and sleepy land snake that is Dunsparce; whom had a surprising knack for slaying dragons in this video!
haha another great video, Scott! I love the stories too. I was playing Pokemon before I could read, thanks to my older brothers, and that led to me getting lost and stuck for so long within many places in the game.
23:24 I chuckled when you said that you'd forget Xatu because I never remember Dunsparce. I've even jokingly told my wife it is a gen 3 pokemon because I have no memory of ever seeing it as a kid in Gen 2.
To be fair in gen 2 it's a swarm pokemon and in gold silver you need to have the phone number of the hiker after violet cave near azalea town
@@brendanhart517 you can find him in the dark cave before violet, without numbers
it's so cool seeing the development of your content skills. the quality improves with every video. always a pleasure 🎉
i’ve been playing through pokémon moon with a shiny dunsparce i brought in with X on my team and it made me wonder if anyone has done any challenge videos with one and i was happy to find this video! really good stuff and a really entertaining video. i love dunsparce
Your overlay is awesome; I like seeing movesets/stats at a glance.
First thing first, I really like all the information you provide like the move set and stats. It definitely separates you from the other runners, as well as your sense of humor. Fantastic content through and through.
Second off, I feel like a kimono girl run is coming up (eeveevolution race!)
Dunsparce is pretty great! Really deserves an evo.
It always nice to see a run with my favorite pokemon!
I think that return would have been better against Foretress, as return has 153/2=76.5 power, which is a bit better stronger than digs 60 power.
Loved that run either way 👍
Came here to see if anyone said it before I did.
Ayyyy, one I've actually done before! Nice, im excited to see you prove how much better it could've been done.
Wow...she literally beat that Dragonite with her eyes closed...
I feel called out for listening to you in the background lol! But your voice is just so pleasant. I use these videos to sleep. They're better than rain. Exciting enough to be kept at attention, and such a nice voice to calm down to. I do watch them when awake too for the record...
My man scotty giving me gen 2 nostalgia 😩 Crystal was the first pokemon game I played and it takes me back to the good times I had. All the best, brother. Hoping to see your channel grow even more :)
Watching you go for a solo challenge with my favorite pokémon was the best thing I did in a while.
Thanks for doing this. ♪
You’re welcome!
This actually went much better than I thought it would. Well done making Dunsparce look not so bad. I really hope they come up with an evolution or something for it.
that onix story i can relate too i was training my rhyhorn and came across a trainer with a team of flying types so i thought to myself oh ok this'll be a breeze so i spammed rage on his team till it missed and his pidgey use sand attack x2 and i think you know what happened next for an hour....
Thank you for this was waiting a long time keep up the great content
Another fantastic run well done
Trainer:*Throws pokeball at Pokémon*
Paras: * breaks out pokeballs repeatedy*
*another Pokémon sternly looks at it*
Paras: *Paralyzed*
Trainer: *throws Pokéball, finally works* TF?!
Dunsparce: *shrugs*
Trainer:
ITS HERE! This is what i need to wrap up my night. Thanks Scott! Am much hyped
Excellent video! This is why dunsparce is my favourite Mon! He is always available so early, and he is a solid snake for a healthy chunk of the game.
And thanks to the venomoth card that you used I realized that my card is a misprint! and the tier list was a nice addition.
Great video, see ya next time!
The intro made me laugh because my level of focus is non existent, I just love good content
Was watching this on the side while working from home, got called out hard during that Chuck fight LOL
Just wanted to let you know your content is awesome! Love tuning into each of your new videos!
Thanks so much
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon i would say butterfree is hyper iv ev dependent
Bad ivs n bad hidden power its awful
I had an insane iv butterfree a few times with electric or ice hidden power both are perfect for butterfree specifically
31 ivs on both specials and 29 defense and 26 speed n 23 hp, attack iv was bad at 14, I literally downed red at 85 with just sleep powder on snorlax, the rest i brute forced
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon ledian I found insanely difficult because I got walled so badly at blue and red like I resorted to dynamic punch and hope 1 crit at 97, maybe my ivs were garbage for ledian
Ledyba is possible at 100 too but you snorlax to go correctly and to get Pikachu luck in addition I used a light screen strat and 26 attempts
Ariados is consistent regardless but I would say slightly worse than butterfree n slightly better than beedrill
All this content being uploaded today
Sunday is such a wonderful day
Love your videos man, keep it up! 🙂
WOW!!! This guy is great at the game. He really has a good thought process around the game and he puts together really intelligently done videos. The data and the methodology and stuff is rigorous and we trust his results.
What about a solo run with Venonat in Gen 1, later on evolving it to Venomoth? It would be interested hard it is with Venonat compared to the high special status of it's own evolution.
The helix joke is almost 10 years old, I think it's use-by date is far passed. Good on you for going with Dome lol
I love your videos, every time I watch I want to train the pokémon of the challenge
AAAAAAAHHHHHH. I've been waiting for this let's play!
Me: I like Scott. He uses Pokemon,no one uses in CZcams runs.
Scott: I will choose the dome fossil.
Me: ... so what is Jrose11 doing? ;)
5:30. I had the same issue in pokemon blue when I was a kid. I got stuck in viridian forest and couldn't find my way out because I had no idea you just walked into the wall at the end to get out. I eventually just started mashing buttons out of frustration and made my way out, but it honestly took me days of wondering "why does everyone like this game so much, it doesn't even work" before I eventually made it to the first gym.
Yeah I remember having that issues a couple of times in gen 1 too!
Good job on the Dunsparce run 👍👍 finishing at LV90 is a great achievement.
Rage..
Rage.. ?
RAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!
It’s awesome how you are completing the pokedex, hope you get those 150+ soon
Great video, Scott. Your battle with Red was great. I look forward to you doing an Emerald* race between Bagon and Beldum lines.
Angel:"So God how smooth do you want this ones voice to be?"
God:"Yes."
Amazing Voice and Video
I do listen to your videos in the background, but I do not miss your great memes because I watch along while playing Pokemon rom hacks.
This is a fair reason to miss the memes! Enjoy the rom hacks.
Well dude, you narrated my childhood experience of gaming with my peers in the first minutes of this video.
little confession here.... you're the only pkmn youtuber who is doing these challenges with all my favourite pokemons (bug trainer forever) plus i always loved pokemons who are not to lovable just like dunsparce....i reeeealy enjoy your videos and i know you'll never disappoint me/us....hail to you and wish you the best, you deserve it man ❤️ ^^
Awesome video!
The real dragon type 😳
3 minutes discussing the infuriating aspects of Rage? I'm in!
Edit: I'd say this is your best video overall. Narration + sense of humor + no memes. You're getting better and more original with each one. Congrats!
Slowly finding my way!
Your theory is proving correct. I've just come from the Electabuzz video and it's gotten twice as good.
I’m really enjoying your videos, I’d love to see some more vs videos, like magmar vs electabuzz.
Me and you bare similar, with the whole 16 a hour Pokemon binge
Lance his Aerodactyl has always changed the rules; it's the true final boss!
..Least it has been for all my gold / heartgold runs, he's my venomoth LOL
My own rage aside, Dunsparce is a fun pokemon to do a run with!
I finished mine just now, and I learned from my slugma run that speed is.. SLOW!
;) That's why I always borrow the quick-claw and show Dunsparce CAN go fast!
All aside, awesome run man, your content is really shaping up so much!
I'm willing to say you've become one of my three favorites, so keep that up! :D
I don't know if you take suggestions, but I figured to try a Hoppip run myself.
It seems a pokemon to really struggle! ;)
16:13 way to call me out man... one of the few games i can listen to in the background and completely know what is going on
Butterfree makes venomoth look like a joke.
Seriously why would any psy trainer that uses bug type use venomoth(bug/poison) instead of Butterfree(flying/bug)?
Anyways, duns is a good Pokemon that is heavily underrated.
It's nice to see him showing this.
Slowpoke cave looked like stairs to me. But I did think the guy guarding Mt. Silver in blue had a British hat until he moved. That moment blew my mind more than anything else in the game as a kid.
I'm happy to realize I'm not the only one to get confused about slowpoke cave as a kid
Gen I rage: gamebreaking.
Gen II rage: speedrun viability.
You know your mon is a badass when it takes down half of the Champion's team and then gets bored, falls asleep, and takes down the other half of his team, including his ace, while asleep
Great work
And now I'm seeing the Venomoth self dig and realize it must be a running gag. Welp, respect!
Keep up the great work! I just turned 30 and I am still very interested in the early gens
Me too! Obviously...
In gen 2, enemy Pokémon status moves actually have an additional chance to fail against you other than missing, that’s why the Morty fight felt so lucky.
Just helping out the CZcams algorithm, buddy!! Love the videos
Nice story about the move rage, lol
Can't wait for the next VS. video.
Double and triple checked this from scientific sources, since Ilex is just the botanical name for Holly plants. It appears to be: Ilex /ˈaɪlɛks, so that would be "eye-lex". Then again, it is possible that in the anime it was called "ee-lex" forest. Great videos thanks!
3:40 Lord Helix won't be amused about that. I'd reconsider that.
I revisit a lot of your older videos lately. It is amazing to see how much this channel, the crew behind the channel and scott himself improved.
I know, that you want to revisit these runs as well. Im curious how much you can be done here for example, since Crystal is now the go-to Gen 2 choice instead of gold. For some Pokémon this means other moves in their set.
From all the older Gen 2 runs I would love to see Dunsparce, Corsola and Ledian the most.
Yeah, I want to replay Dunsparce, Corsola, and Ledian & Ariados. The first two will get streamed attempts and the last two will be in a versus video.
Scott, I did the exact same thing my first time around outside Azalea town back in my childhood days. It never looked like a tile you could step on so never knew you could enter it. It took me forever to figure out how to get the rocket member to move lol kids are so privileged being able to look up how to’s for games these days
I'm so glad I was not alone in this!
You and Jrose have had me watch Gen 1/2 more times then I’d like to admit
i read this as generation one-half
The ole lock yourself into rage in gen 1 strat. Bold move cotton
I love how my good twin has this love for buggy bois and gives them the attention they deserve.
I think you should occasionally allow yourself a breed move on one of your challenges.
For example: I bred ancient power on to my dunsparce a while back. Named it MVP. And eventually went for a set with:
- return
- glare
- curse
- ancient power
And leftovers.
Way over the top. But loads of fun xD since you're aiming to just buff The Sparce into oblivion and then hit hard with return.
(and yeah! I tried to make dunsparce work on my theme bug team. ... basically "cheating" because ofcourse it's not actually a bug type)
Anyways, really cool choice! Dunsparce often gets ignored or overlooked. And I think people underestimate how much fun it can be if you really try :D so... a like. just for that!
In an alternative timeline not too far from our own, dunsparce could have been a mythical pokemon and that prospect scares me, long live godsparce.
Similar story to your slowpoke well thing, I was trapped in Viridian forest for days because back in gen 1 there was no real indicator that there was an exit there, the forest just kinda ended. I eventually got out by accident the same way you did.
First Lapras and now Dunsparce that rolled bad stats (Female= below average attack ivs)
Still finishing the runs you truly are a god Gamer!
Ha I had the same problem with the slowpoke well. In the end there was a video game magazine at my local library that had a basic walkthrough that told me what to do lol.
