    -The player sells TMs because they have no use for them in this challenge, as they cannot teach their Pokémon new moves beyond their naturally learned ones.

normally the best starter in Kanto cuz

00:33

it's good against Brock and Misty but

00:35

it's extra good for this challenge for

00:37

two reasons the first reason is that it

00:38

prevents my rival from having it which

00:40

is uh great because sleep powder is

00:42

super annoying and the second is that

00:44

one of its first four moves is leech

00:46

03:33

03:38

started rough but we were fine Abra is

03:40

great I believe I used one for a good

03:42

chunk of time when I did this in Emerald

03:44

several years ago cuz right now of

03:46

course it only knows teleport but it

03:47

learns confusion when it evolves a good

03:50

solid psychic attack and I caught it

03:52

first try let's go my first evolution

03:56

this makes Vine whip better okay

03:58

actually I looked it up and I had an

04:00

alexam on my team when I beat the

04:01

freaking Pokémon League so clearly it's

04:03

good okay that didn't take too long I am

04:06

Confucian all right it's time for Misty

04:09

maybe I could have grinded my team more

04:11

before this fight but I didn't feel like

04:13

it I don't care about that that was a

04:14

wonderful wasted turn but of course the

04:16

star me is always way more threatening

04:19

oh my God amazing Leach seed oh Swift

04:22

does a lot Vine whip does a good chunk

04:25

but not all of it however if I can live

04:28

this next

04:30

Swift or she might potion but if she

04:33

doesn't if I live this Swift I think I

04:35

win okay and I live it it's over okay

04:39

this is going smoothly harshly because I

04:42

am using the best starter for K selling

04:45

TMS selling TMS it feels really weird

04:49

but I'm selling TMS Vermilion City so

04:52

the next gym is Lieutenant surge but it

04:55

also gives me access to diglett's Cave

04:58

now if I can find a Diglett that's at

05:00

least level 17 it will know dig all of

05:03

them know magnitude but having the

05:04

reliability of dig would be great and

05:07

look at that first one although if I

05:08

could just find a wild Doug Trio that'd

05:10

be better okay but I do have a Diglett

05:13

oh might just sweep my team

05:17

though this is going badly this is my

05:20

third to

05:24

last let's go oh my God level 29

05:30

eradicate good to see you oh my gosh I

05:33

just learned cbeam okay I got confused

05:35

because Kinesis is a zero level move and

05:38

I just like saw that in the list and

05:40

thought that was going to be one of its

05:41

moves but instead it gets sbeam which is

05:44

stronger than confusion it literally

05:46

cannot harm dark types but that doesn't

05:49

matter there aren't any in this region

05:52

my radicate just got burned in this

05:54

battle against this random trainer and I

05:57

kind of think I'm not going to heal it

05:58

before I fight my rival cuz my rat is

06:01

gutsy hello subscrib really wish the

06:04

character limit was a little higher I

06:06

remembered to have Pikachu lead this

06:08

06:12

should deal with Pidgeotto it's time for

06:15

a rat battle Cuts boosted hyper Fang

06:18

delicious I'm not even going to change I

06:20

see no reason to this one I need the

06:22

quick attack but it's a freaking cadabra

06:25

now do I quick attack to guarantee I go

06:27

06:45

party to get into a gym but I can't

06:47

complain that much I have a level 29

06:49

duck Trio this Lieutenant surge battle

06:51

should be so easy I should just need to

06:55

06:58

07:00

I'm worried about static so I'm just

07:01

07:16

Trio like that early that makes this gym

07:19

07:22

eventually getting replaced with a mod

07:24

champ but for now this is helpful

07:27

seladon City I can get free Eevee right

07:31

Intruders it's just a

10:42

mwak wow I remember playing this in the

10:45

car for the first time having never

10:46

played the original games and being like

10:48

what do you mean it's a ghost why won't

10:51

it let me fight it I'm enraged hello Mr

10:55

Fuji please provideth me the poke flute

10:58

to toot toot all right Snorlax get up I

11:03

definitely want to catch this thing it's

11:05

a pretty straightforward upgrade to

11:07

radicate

11:10

Fantastic all righty let's get Snorlax

11:13

on the squad oh my goodness and impish

11:16

nature is fantastic radicate thank you

11:19

for your work this far enjoy your rest

11:21

obviously this isn't the best move set

11:23

cuz like my only damaging move is

11:25

headbutt but yaong is amazing and then

11:27

rest snore Strat it's pretty fun well um

11:31

I did the thing where I changed

11:32

impossible evos and didn't know the

11:35

level that this was going to happen at

11:37

and it just

11:38

happened at 37 my second highest level

11:41

Pokemon is 31 all right Koga time I feel

11:46

pretty confident because Alakazam is

11:48

amazing like this is going to one shot

11:50

yep his wheezing is the scariest one do

11:52

I want to change for Muk it's got good

11:54

special defense actually I'm going to

11:56

try swapping here this thing can

11:58

minimize so let's get some chip going

12:00

acid armor is that defense or special

12:02

defense ooh well don't love that dig

12:05

does so little all right let's go back

12:08

to Alakazam physical attack was maybe

12:10

better until that happened dang it I was

12:12

hoping that would miss Jesus oh that

12:15

sucks well I might have misplayed uh

12:17

around the muck well I know I can kill

12:19

the coughing quickly now how do I handle

12:21

this wheezing I got one more sbeam in me

12:25

I think you know what yeah let's let's

12:27

swap here reset the poison counter I

12:30

could I think I can leech seed it I

12:32

maybe I should have leveled up before

12:34

this this is neutral though oh boy well

12:36

I hit the Lee seed all right Alakazam

12:39

how much can you do here

12:41

sbeam does ha victory is mine I was so

12:47

underleveled with every Pokemon except

12:49

Alakazam but now that I have that I can

12:51

surf outside of battle which means I

12:53

need to go get surf I made it please

12:56

take me to Waterland that was a weird

12:58

way of of saying that I caught a neino

13:00

I'm going to make it aido King for hm's

13:03

surf cut strength rock smash pretty nice

13:05

here we are in the power plant where I

13:07

will be catching not Zapdos now that may

13:11

surprise you considering Zapdos is one

13:13

of if not the best Pokemon you can use

13:15

on a playthrough team in a Kanto

13:17

playthrough however that doesn't apply

13:19

for this one Zapdos is move set when you

13:22

catch it in this game is drill peack

13:24

which is good but then thunderwave

13:26

detect and Agility that's no electric

13:29

type attacks however another Pokémon you

13:32

can find here in the power plant is

13:34

Pikachu and that matters because you can

13:37

find it at exactly level 26 which is the

13:40

level it learns Thunderbolt which is one

13:44

of the best moves available to me in

13:46

this Challenge and since I can't change

13:48

its move set so I don't care about any

13:50

moves it learns beyond that I can

13:52

immediately Thunderstone it and get a

13:55

thunderbolt Raichu there we go okay hey

13:59

now I just have to catch it aha success

14:02

check it out

14:04

Thunderbolt and with this newly acquired

14:06

Thunderstone there's my Thunderbolt

14:09

Raichu wait a second can I use strength

14:11

outside of battle I got to give this guy

14:13

his teeth I can you strength which means

14:17

I can go get Articuno cuz while Zapdos

14:20

doesn't have any good electric attacks

14:23

Articuno has ice beam and I know from

14:25

experience it is very helpful against

14:27

Lance I found you oh God I uh will admit

14:31

I forgot this thing was level 50 thought

14:33

it was like 45 one pathetic sub story

14:36

later what is wrong with you you chicken

14:39

from the freezer section should not be

14:41

giving me this much difficulty I know

14:43

you had a catch rate of three but like

14:44

come on oh thank you wow I just had to

14:47

insult it don't tell team Sky well this

14:50

is the first time that I can remember

14:51

that I've had a Pokemon level 30 and a

14:53

Pokémon level 50 on the same team I will

14:55

say though I think Ivysaur might be uh

14:58

might be past its usefulness so now that

15:00

I have the good rod and I'm about to get

15:02

surf in the super rod my water type

15:04

options are really opening up so I

15:06

decided to finally do some research

15:08

figure out what I want my water type to

15:10

be and I assembled a list of good

15:12

options that list number one is

15:15

Tentacruel number two doesn't exist some

15:19

of them are solid options but just I

15:21

can't obtain them with a good water type

15:23

move like Lapras doesn't know any at the

15:26

level you get it and freaking Golduck

15:28

freaking Golduck did you know that

15:29

Psyduck and Golduck in these games don't

15:31

learn a single water type attack until

15:34

hydropump in the ' 50s cler only gets

15:37

freaking clamp by level up and Dong Dong

15:40

has no water type moves in its level up

15:43

move set it has signal beam and not a

15:46

water type move and then other ones just

15:48

suck always in this generation like Sea

15:51

King and Kingler High physical attack

15:53

all water moves are special they're just

15:55

completely garbage until the physical

15:57

special split some of them are okay

15:59

options like sedra like I could get one

16:01

with water gun but like water gun's kind

16:03

of weak and also so is sedra that's why

16:05

they created KRA and then of course

16:07

Gyarados its special attack is only 60

16:09

in this gen and I can't get one that has

16:11

both hydr pump and thrash star me would

16:15

have been a pretty solid option pretty

16:16

fast good special attack can get one

16:18

with bubble beam which is 65 and it's a

16:20

freaking leaf green exclusive both slow

16:23

bro and sty are in Leaf Green why did

16:26

they put both water psychic types in one

16:28

game and why didn't I do a bit of

16:31

research before starting this so my best

16:33

option is Tentacruel if I get a tentac

16:35

or tentacule that's at least level 25 it

16:37

knows bubble beam which is 65 base power

16:39

best option I have it doesn't hit as

16:42

hard as I would like but it's decently

16:43

bulky you know it could be worse well

16:46

not really cuz you know even if it was a

16:48

bit worse it might still be the best

16:51

option I guess I'm going to catch tacle

16:53

cuz they can be found 5 to 40 really

16:55

like 40 I think yeah 40 it would still

16:58

work 30 works okay I'm going to catch a

17:00

couple though

17:01

35 using the move that I am searching

17:05

for it for we're going with the level 35

17:07

one highest level of course but also has

17:09

clear body which is quite nice now I

17:12

have a tenac Cru which actually has a

17:14

shockingly high base at total all righty

17:17

silco all right it's time for sub scrub

17:20

going to be real I do not remember what

17:22

level as Pokémon are however like most

17:24

of the Pokémon in this building have

17:26

been under level 30 so 30 7 what what is

17:30

this game design there's your static you

17:32

stupid bird now take this Thunderbolt

17:35

good by there's Gyarados which is going

17:38

to be much easier to handle this time

17:41

take this Thunderbolt goodbye you guys

17:43

want to see the definition of Overkill

17:45

ice beaming an execute with an Articuno

17:48

it's my only super effective move

17:49

against it I could have used Raichu for

17:51

the Charizard I'm realizing he's very

17:53

weak to Electric okay that that that

17:55

wish that would have done more but okay

17:57

he just missed a scary face you absolute

18:00

loser oh come on that's just stupid all

18:03

right I have clear body scary face

18:05

wouldn't have worked anyways great

18:06

ability clear body big fan Alakazam this

18:10

is his scariest Pokemon by far Alakazam

18:13

is just a scary Pokemon in general so

18:16

I'm hoping this headbutt just destroys

18:17

it really hoping this headbutt destroys

18:19

it headbutt all right we're good you m

18:22

I'm here to destroy you a man I thought

18:26

you led with something weak to walk it's

18:28

fine Alakazam will handle this that

18:30

hurts a little bit but not too bad needo

18:33

Queen fall to my side beam uh-oh

18:37

oh poison sting poisoned me again but

18:41

it's annoying it really took that well

18:43

though I forgot how bulky Neo Queen is

18:45

all right Kangaskhan low kick you you're

18:48

pretty heavy right rage weird that

18:51

that's such a terrible move low kick oh

18:53

come on now I got to sit through Rock

18:55

blast that rock looks so hyper realistic

18:58

okay there we go master ball I can use

19:01

that on like M Trace maybe I'm still

19:03

kind of figuring out what my final

19:05

roster is going to be articuno's a lock

19:08

Snorlax is almost certainly a lock

19:10

Alakazam definitely Raichu definitely

19:13

Tentacruel quite likely it's definitely

19:15

sticking around for the last two Gym

19:17

Battles excuse me last three primape I'm

19:20

unsure about I'm just not sure how

19:22

useful fighting is of a type in the

19:25

league like it's good against Laura Li

19:27

but like most for Pokemon water type and

19:29

Raichu can just beat those all righty

19:31

time for the gym battle I'm frankly the

19:33

most scared of psychic types incanto and

19:37

I have no super effective damage I

19:39

should one-hot this with headbutt so I'm

19:42

not really worried about the calm mind

19:44

and I do okay Mr mime I'm less sure oh

19:48

my gosh headbutt does a one shot okay

19:52

okay easy sbeam and that'll do it and

19:55

finally her Alakazam 43 three I'm not

19:59

going to yawn I don't know if

20:00

synchronize works with sleep but I don't

20:02

want to risk it good God please Snorlax

20:05

I need you to just destroy this thing

20:07

come on come on come on oh no okay she

20:11

hyper potions here if even if I don't

20:13

get a better roll I think I can live one

20:15

hit from it I got a better

20:18

roll man this this gym battle is scary

20:21

was setting up Cal mind immediately if

20:24

you like misplay and don't know you got

20:26

to just hit these guys with good

20:28

physical moves that could be it for you

20:30

now to just get through the Pokemon

20:32

mansion and then I can fight Blain with

20:34

only tenac Cru ha you better have burn

20:37

heel well you Blain better have Bubble

20:41

heel which doesn't exist bubble beam

20:46

nice also I did look it up he does not

20:48

have sunny day bubble beam would be less

20:50

practical if he did just going to onshot

20:51

the Ponyta oh a crit I don't know if I

20:54

needed it but nice that it happened

20:56

rapid Ash you are cool but worse of a

20:59

Pokémon than you look okay 2 KO huh I

21:03

know that was supposed to be bounc and

21:04

it was like it's spring up it didn't

21:05

look like it spring up it looked like it

21:07

just deleted itself what oh no I had no

21:11

idea bounce could paralyze all right

21:14

well I am killing it but I don't know if

21:16

I'm going to kill that freaking Arcanine

21:18

with Tentacruel I have a lot of other

21:20

Pokemon all right intimidates not

21:21

working on anyone else I did that on

21:23

purpose how much is this going to do o

21:25

how much is that going to do ooh I might

21:27

get to attack okay I'm getting one okay

21:30

that was good damage I think tacr goes

21:32

down here but that's fine headb oh God

21:36

you can't be serious I'm going to

21:37

predict a full restore hyper potion okay

21:40

yeah you're getting very sleepy and but

21:43

does a decent Chun full heal what is

21:46

this okay if he doesn't heal again he

21:48

doesn't heal and Snorlax gets the win

21:52

one gym badge left all righty Mount

21:55

Ember now I could go go get mulch race

21:59

but I don't think I really need the fire

22:02

type coverage If I Could Teach it flying

22:04

moves then maybe but I can't however

22:06

this is a great place to get maop or

22:09

maoke and while I'm very fond of primape

22:11

Machamp is just a simple upgrade I've

22:14

CAU several maops I'm going to catch

22:16

this Machoke and then call it okay so

22:19

all of them I think have identical moves

22:21

so I'm just going to use the Machoke to

22:23

save time on training thank you for your

22:25

service primeape all right that was

22:27

pleasantly quick there's my big boy

22:29

Machamp all right Giovani have at thee

22:33

tenac Cru is probably going to die not

22:37

to the ryhorn I know I can onot the

22:38

ryhorn but to the other Pokemon being

22:41

weak to ground makes it kind of tough

22:43

Doug Trio is definitely faster than

22:45

tenac Cru but if I can live a ground

22:47

attack then I just definitely one- shot

22:50

it oh I'm faster than Doug Trio pretty

22:52

cool also can we talk about how weird it

22:53

is that he has a level 50 rehorn why not

22:56

a Ryon I mean and I'm not complaining

22:59

actually I am complaining it makes the

23:00

battle Lamer this I definitely don't one

23:03

shot you know Queen is bulky but like

23:05

maybe it'll be dumb and not earthquake

23:08

darn maybe tenac Cru will live it out a

23:10

girl all right that's the Nido Queen

23:12

just Nido King left which should be

23:14

easily handled by any of my Pokemon not

23:17

any multiple Alakazam Articuno Snorlax

23:21

even would probably do fine oh a

23:23

critical hit look at that

23:26

Tentacruel incredibly successful battle

23:30

time for the victory road but first

23:33

there's this Rival Battle that happens

23:35

here all right Pidgeot uh go away static

23:38

nice now is this going to one shot I'd

23:40

really like it to Fantastic blah blah

23:43

blah blah BL goodbye it is faster but

23:46

I've got decent special defense and

23:48

headbutt absolutely one shots it look at

23:51

that took that so well oh it didn't one

23:55

shot it interesting seriously you landed

23:58

a disable you know what fine I'm going

24:00

to go to sleep so I can snore very

24:03

convenient that rest came with snore

24:05

with just the default move set for this

24:08

Snorlax got to get that sleep out and

24:10

you checked out Snorlax you're snoring

24:12

so bad it kills things still an execute

24:14

I'll just snore again wait am I still

24:16

going to be disabled oh my God that did

24:18

nothing that can Flinch this is my first

24:20

time learning snore can make something

24:21

Flinch wow head butt goes the

24:26

execute I have the sounds memorized 53

24:30

jez maybe I should have switched oh nice

24:33

vable does not one shot okay I like the

24:35

experience though so we're going to

24:37

switch to tenac Cru will tank this

24:39

flamethrower very easily or it could

24:42

slash for some reason whatever it's

24:43

still didn't do that much attack does a

24:46

bit more but still took those hits very

24:49

well that bodess well for the final

24:51

battle all right this is it this is the

24:54

final team up to level 55 and now my

24:57

first first attempt at the Pokémon

24:59

League Laura lies up first not too

25:02

worried about it we got Thunderbolt we

25:04

got revenge pretty sure we should be

25:06

just fine Thunderbolt first on the D

25:09

gong is not a one shot oh that's fine

25:13

cuz now she just full restores and maybe

25:15

I'll get a better roll I could have used

25:17

Machamp and revenge here but I was a

25:18

little worried about taking too much

25:20

damage from surf dang it maybe she won't

25:22

heal aha we're staying in against

25:24

Closter Closter has amazing physical

25:27

defense terrible special defense its

25:29

physical defense is like 200 or

25:31

something but its special defense is

25:32

like under 50 yep slow bro staying in I

25:35

don't really have anything else for this

25:37

Thunderbolts going to do it's definitely

25:39

a two hit KO on this thing oh I'm wrong

25:42

that's surprising I just I just think of

25:44

it as so bulky there's the hit if I can

25:47

live it Revenge absolutely kills it oh

25:50

easy I'm angry Vengeance there we go and

25:55

then Jinx uh oh looking at this it

25:58

doesn't actually have a psychic move so

26:02

I'm just I'm just going to stay in okay

26:04

maybe I'm not snap out of it Machamp

26:06

she's a bimbo excellent yes Vengeance

26:09

for manipulating your feelings oh come

26:12

on probably goes for a track again but

26:14

I'm just going to oh it's faster dang it

26:16

my Pokemon best suited to fight this

26:18

thing are both male okay headbutt almost

26:21

KO it lovely kiss seriously oh you've

26:24

made a mistake because I have snore okay

26:26

you can you can do that I was saying if

26:28

you hit through this I have snore and

26:31

that'll do it Bruno you and your two

26:34

dumb onyxes are going to go down to

26:36

Bubble beams at least they they don't

26:38

those that earthquake's going to not

26:40

actually hurt that bad CU an onyx sucks

26:43

and every stat except defense double

26:45

beam does one shot all right sends in

26:48

the other Onyx immediately don't

26:50

understand that strategy oh it must be

26:51

the AI because it know he knows he has a

26:53

super effective move but my jelly fish

26:56

is too fast for you just like my

26:59

Alakazam manchan might live this it's

27:01

actually decently bulky yeah all right

27:03

Rock tomb not stab ow crit that sucks

27:07

I'll just sbeam again while he heals

27:09

maybe a better roll this time oh okay I

27:12

actually have to switch I'm not sure I'm

27:14

faster after the speed drop and I cannot

27:17

risk Alakazam going down yeah I mean I'm

27:19

going to take some damage here but as

27:20

long as I KO this thing vital throw

27:22

there we go okay hitmon Lee is going to

27:25

take the sbeam way worse than Hitmonchan

27:29

I think I'm now good to just one shot

27:32

both hitmon Lee and Machamp with side

27:35

beam ins side beam here are you serious

27:38

oh thank God that missed oh that's so

27:40

frustrating it's just shy better roll

27:43

please and if that Mega kick had hit

27:45

alakazam's done oh my God that's a worse

27:48

roll at least he's I can just do this if

27:51

I had psychic that those would have been

27:53

okos but that's part of the challenge

27:55

I'm stuck with SBE now I I know this

27:57

thing's going to live this so I hope

28:00

whatever it goes for misses yep scary

28:03

face okay well now if I can I feel like

28:07

he's not going to full restore because

28:09

of that so if I bring in let's say I go

28:12

tentacle and not I'm going to go tentac

28:14

tacr resists fighting cross chop does

28:18

not very much and now I can try a bubble

28:20

beam and maybe this takes it out maybe

28:23

if he full restores he doesn't full

28:24

restore it's over okay man I got

28:26

stickier I thought it was going to get

28:28

Agatha ideally I sweep with Alakazam cuz

28:31

if I don't things are going to get a bit

28:33

tougher cuz the ghost types can't be

28:36

harmed by my Snorlax or my Machamp I'm

28:39

faster than the first Gengar is it a one

28:41

shot it is okay she's sending in gbat

28:44

I'm going to go to Raichu just cuz

28:45

that's the only other gbats her only

28:48

Pokemon that I have super effective

28:49

damage for that is not on Alakazam and

28:52

so I think it's best to keep Alakazam as

28:54

healthy as possible and put in work

28:57

where other Pokémon can cuzz I need

28:59

Alakazam for the others way to go Raichu

29:02

man I'm so glad I figured out I could

29:04

get Thunderbolt

29:05

Raichu that's way better than thunder

29:07

shock or even like a spark electrode

29:10

don't care about intimidate here's the

29:12

sbeam arbach is not known for being

29:15

strong come

29:16

on please hurt yourself please please oh

29:20

my God that's so frustrating that it's

29:23

just shine God if I just had like a

29:27

another level or two I thought 55 would

29:29

be enough that was a lot of damage at

29:31

least it didn't poison me all right well

29:34

last is Gengar and Haunter dangers

29:37

58 I am still faster is this thing frail

29:41

enough to go down in one hit yes okay I

29:43

think we're good and there's that other

29:45

level

29:47

sbeam and that'll do it fantastic let's

29:50

do this Lance I am prepared I got

29:53

Articuno really just for this battle

29:56

immediate Thunderbolt no need to think

29:59

about this also nice they didn't give

30:01

his Gyarados earthquake Gyarados is tend

30:03

to get earthquake in later generations

30:06

dragonaire first dragon type into

30:08

Articuno which is is now just a mash Ice

30:12

Beam

30:13

situation cuz all of his other moves are

30:15

useless all right that's a one shot

30:18

Aerodactyl I'm going to switch

30:20

Aerodactyl is weak to ice but I'm pretty

30:23

confident it's going to be faster than

30:25

Articuno and ancient power would really

30:28

really hurt yeah look at that it's even

30:29

faster than my Raichu jeez that does a

30:31

lot Thunderbolt is are you kidding

30:36

me it's fine we Thunderbolt again and if

30:39

it does the same amount then I just

30:41

quick attack little bit more okay

30:43

finally one of those goes my way Ice

30:46

Beam on the dragon air should one shot

30:48

like it did the other one there we go

30:51

and finally the Dragonite die please

30:55

please freeze die please fre and freeze

30:57

freeze please well just actually no

31:00

don't freeze cuz you're dead ha

31:02

fantastic it

31:04

agrees and this is it the final battle

31:08

subscribe I will defeat you with no new

31:12

moves all right Pidgeon die to

31:15

Thunderbolt like you've done so many

31:16

other times I'm faster than it now I

31:19

didn't used to be are you kidding me oh

31:21

well that's helpful maybe it won't move

31:23

okay that's just annoying all right I'm

31:25

actually going to switch here cuz he's

31:26

going to f restore and Raichu has to

31:29

stay alive for the Gyarados if I don't

31:32

have Raichu against the Gyarados I'm

31:34

just doomed but I can use Ice Beam here

31:36

that's not going to do that much yeah I

31:38

don't think this one shots I think

31:39

Articuno special attacks a bit lower

31:41

than raichu's it's about the same okay

31:43

all right Ice Beam Pidgeot is done Ryon

31:46

all right tenac cruel uh if you don't

31:48

one-hot this thing it's going to

31:50

earthquake and really really kill you um

31:54

but it's four times super effective so I

31:56

believe in you

31:57

come on thank goodness all right that

31:59

was a pure ground type I don't know if

32:01

it would have died to that the Alakazam

32:03

the very

32:04

scary Alakazam all right Snorlax let's

32:08

just try a headbutt don't love that okay

32:10

um hold on actually I was about to look

32:13

up whether synchronized affected sleep I

32:15

don't think it does but even if it does

32:16

I have snore so put you to sleep cuz I

32:19

don't want you being a

32:21

menice and I think I just headbutt here

32:24

I take the psychics really well though

32:26

and you BR okay he is going to full

32:29

restore so I get a free turn to rest

32:32

back up to full I don't know when

32:34

reflect wears off it's not this turn I

32:36

know it wasn't this turn maybe at the

32:37

end of this turn really really stupid

32:41

okay snore reflect War off now and know

32:45

I'm worried about this psychic that that

32:47

blows um that crit and special defense

32:51

drop in the same turn really screwed me

32:53

do I let Snorlax go down what does he

32:55

have left he got exeggutor Arcanine no

32:58

excuse me exeggutor Charizard and

33:00

Gyarados left now I know I could full

33:02

restore here however I've made it this

33:04

far without using any potions in battle

33:07

and I would feel pretty cool if I finish

33:10

this challenge while still doing that so

33:12

I'm going to hit rest and hope he goes

33:15

for reflect he didn't okay that's fine

33:18

what do I do here Snorlax was my best

33:20

Pokemon for in Raichu has quick attack

33:23

but I don't know if quick attack koos

33:24

from this range and if Raichu goes down

33:27

I said I need it for Gyarados let's try

33:29

my own

33:30

Alakazam crap all right sibean mine's

33:33

faster okay if he doesn't use a full

33:35

restore we're golden he doesn't use the

33:37

full restore

33:40

okay oh my gosh Alakazam man so freaking

33:44

strong there's the Gyarados we go into

33:46

Raichu immediately Thunderbolt this is

33:49

the easiest move to pick ever there we

33:52

go exor we switch back to Articuno Ice

33:55

Beam I hope this just one shots it but I

33:58

kind of doubt it exeggutor is solidly

33:59

bulky yet again

34:03

oh I know he just full restores here but

34:06

like he didn't get to hit me that last

34:07

turn better roll this time nope okay how

34:11

many of those do you have dude and he

34:12

had so many more I'm really glad he

34:13

didn't use it on Alakazam I froze it

34:16

again that's crazy and cool literally

34:20

the final one Charizard I go with tenac

34:24

Cru Raichu Cru or Raichu let's go Raichu

34:27

Thunderbolt is stronger than tentac cr's

34:30

bubble beam all right Thunderbolt how

34:32

much is it going to do I don't think it

34:34

one shots but should do a lot okay two

34:36

hit ko. this might just kill yeah okay

34:39

oh now I knew who descend in oh that's

34:41

actually I'm actually okay with that

34:44

because this means he's not going to

34:46

full restore which means I can bubble

34:48

beam which should kill what you can't be

34:51

serious but he doesn't full restore okay

34:53

he used all of them up fantastic all

34:55

right woo woo with this team and some

35:00

others that helped along the way I have

35:02

beaten Pokémon Fire Red with no new

35:05

moves and no items in battle MVP for the

35:08

early and middle game was definitely

35:09

Alakazam and late game definitely

35:11

Thunderbolt Raichu again I'm so happy I

35:15

figured that out
