Sandile (turn 1): call an ambulance! Sandile (turn 3): *but not for me!*

Having moxie rather than intimidate was absolutely MASSIVE for you this run. Had you gotten intimidate (normally a great ability, but far less so in a solo run) youd have had a significantly harder time.

yeah even in normal gameplay moxie is a really op ability, one of the best in the game. for solo runs it is way better, making it possibly the best ability you could have.

It's even more than you think. Having Intimidate activate at the start of each battle will slow down grinding SO much. Seriously. I've been playing through this same game with only not-very-effective moves. Having an extra line of text per battle slows down level grinding so much.

Dude, I love the Sandile family. Strong physical attack, great moves like Earthquake and Crunch, and the ability Moxie? That's a potent combo.

@@levy9595 Ehhh Intimidate is still a really good ability. Intimidate would make things easy for him too.

Sometimes "How broken is this?" can be as fun as "Oh god how am I going to do this?" Don't be afraid to treat yourself to a weird but powerful mon every now and then

I'm just picturing Sandile bringing out a beach chair with umbrella for MDB, and handing him a drink with a tiny paper umbrella and straw as he sits down while going "You just relax, I'll take care of things today." And then going off screen and sounds of Sandile just absolutely annihilating the game drift over while MDB gets to enjoy himself.

The Moxie-powered sweeps were remarkable. Maybe the best ability for one of these challenges altogether?

I know it's not gonna happen, but whenever MDB does a run with a Pokémon that can learn the move Sandstorm by level up, I always hope he names it Darude. 'cause that's hilarious. Looking forward to this one.

"Because that's hilarious." is on the Bingo card, so it's not impossible.

I love how even though he starts off with Sandile, the silhouette still shows Oshawott. Also, I burst out laughing when he said he one shot Zekrom with his baby crocodile.

If you want to try Sandile in Gen 1, maybe take a look at the Unova Red ROM, it replaces the usual Gen 1 pokemon with Gen 5 pokemon, whether it works with the Universal Pokemon Randomizer I'm not sure though.

That was the epitome of a glass cannon run. Nice work.

I like to believe that the only reason the Normal Gym victory went to smoothly is because someone took control of Lenora's AI. As the rule of pokemon states, "Confusion will always trigger for a real person, never the AI."

love it! But also for black runs - since you do red in gen 2, and Steven in gen 3, you could do a secret boss fight in gen 5 with Cynthia in undella town! She’s a fun final boss. : )

What a beast Sandile is. Ive wanted a Sandile Challenge run for idk how long and enjoyed it. Possibly my favourite evo line of the gen

I really like Sandile. Probably my favorite Ground type line next to Trapinch.

This video is a prime example of how damn good Moxie is. That's genuinely why I believe you had a much easier time in this run, say for a few rough spots. Like, there was rarely any rough spots in this run because of Moxie. If you had Intimidate, then you would have a rough time in the run.

Yo mate. I tried this challenge 2 years ago. Respect because it was so incredibly tough. Especially with gen 5 mechanics of exp

You know what would be really fun to see you attempt? The Alder fight. You'd have to go through the E4 again, but their levels would be higher (so better challenge) and the Alder fight itself is pretty challenging. Just something to think about maybe?

@dkmow706

Жыл бұрын

As an avid scraggy and sandile enjoyer, Scraggy is half as fast as sandile than Sandile. But it is twice as bulky as Sandile, so it might actually survive a hit.

Sandile: the whole generation against me? That's unfair!... For them

This Pokémon Challenge video just shows how freaking awesome of an Ability Moxie is, so much so that a normally incredible Ability in Intimidate would be inferior in this particular run

Sandile is one of my favourite Gen 5 Pokemon glad to see you had a lot of fun with it

Let's go! I had been asking for specifically this run cause I love the Sandie line, with krookodile being my favorite pokemon

I remember a video I watched once of a b/w randomizer where Bianca was actually scary for once. Her team started out with a zekrom and raikou

Glad you're uploading. All the best for your continued recovery!

That little crocodile was an absolute monster he literally shredded the whole game my lord 😂😂

Eyyy, glasses croc! I should use one the next time I play BW. I do NOT want to get wrecked by Shauntal again.

Bite has 60 Base Power (90 with STAB), Crunch has 80 (120), but yeah, flinching can be very important!

Also. Its up to you but as a suggestion Id love to see more heartgold soulsilver challenges! Love your videos :)

I commented on a video a few years ago about having failed to catch a shiny Sandile in Pokémon Y, and suggesting a challenge about beating a Pokémon game with one. I'm glad to see that the challenge actually happened!

When the glass cannon turns out to be a glass nuke

Next Challenge: How fast do i beat Pokemon Black 2 with just a Sandile? We already know, but we want to see it! You had so much fun with this :)

Thank you for blessing yet another lonely Saturday night by posting a video! Thanks and much love from Austria

You've been having some really hilarious luck with your recent Challenges with invisible, and this. And I am just loving it.

This was one of the most incredible runs I’ve ever seen. I love Sandile and watching u Blitz most of the game with my boi was a beautiful sight to behold. I’m willing to bet that Sandile is one of your new favorite Gen 5 pokemon

I know you get this a lot, but your videos really help me out. I always look forward to your content and it has helped me with some really rough patches

MDB another great video! I hope you do a sequel to the Pokémon Stadium play through that series was awesome!

I was gonna ask why MDB kept Bite instead of Crunch, because as good as the flinch is, Crunch is consistently stronger by 20 base power. ...But then I saw the steamroll that is Moxie Sandile. Fair enough. You deserve a good sweep. Take the crowns, MDB and StretSharx! 👑👑

That was amazing, I feel like you should try that run again with a different ability just to see how much of a difference it would make

All hail Terrabite. Requesting Pokemon B2W2 With Only One Chinchou.

I love your videos so much man! ❤🙏

It was really fun hearing how giddy you were during this entire run. It was a nice change of pace after watching that Shinx run. 🤙

idk why but whenever i see a black/white run, i always look forward to seeing if he fights alder or not. great run as always, look forward to the next one

you should have an award show at the end of the year where you pick your favorite run, the most liked run, viewer voted best run. stuff like that

Bite and crunch don't have a large bp difference, until you factor in the stab bonus 60-90 and 80-120 a 30 bp difference after stab, i'd call that a large difference makes it more powerful than return too

Great Video, I would like to see a Lickitung only run, it's one of my favorite Pokémon!

It was nice to hear you giddy and laughing. Fun run :)

5:18 "Who are you, brother?" "I'm you, but stronger."

Love your runs=3 Sandile is a great mon with neat evolutions=3

After being so massively hindered by your ability in the Shinx run, I'm really happy you got / went for a good ability in this one. Very fun 😊

This was such a refreshing run to watch! It’s nice when I challenge rewards you!

THE BOI! Sandile and their entire line are some of my favourite pokemon, if not my defacto favourite ground type, really glad you got a chance to make the lad shine!

Having Moxie in a solo run is insane. Basically sweeping as long as you outspeed

Sandile the god!!! I love Moxie. It is such an insane ability in-game.

Moxie is an incredibly fun ability to use. You feel like an avalanche, gaining more and more power and momentum the longer the fight goes on.

It's so good to have you back regularly, man ❤

This vid was nice. Gen 5 is my favorite gen and the Sandile line is one of my favorite sets of ground type Pokémon. Loved the vid, I'd wish that youd do more gen 5 vids but I do the the constient rival battles are annoying. Also I'm pretty sure Throh does not have sturdy, Sawk does, but I'm pretty sure Throh does not

I'm so glad more people have realised how great Sandile is I do wonder what fossil you picked up in the desert, thoguh

That’s really impressive! I need to eventually get the energy to play through Pokémon black and white. I think the beginning just makes me put it down.

That was a really cool and fun run nice bro

Yay! My favourite gen 5 Pokemon. I love the little croc

"Can someone put sandile in pokemon red?" Given that Scott's Thoughts just did Pokemon Yellow Only Heracross, if anyone can point you in the right direction, it'd probably be him!

my original playthough of white when it came out ended up being me sweeping with Krookodile in every fight. the rest of my team was just along for the ride. great video!

That was fun haha. Would love to see you play Pokemon Infinite fusion or Wilds!

Great video! Also, do a Swinub run! It's weak and ice type!

Sandile is a beast! Loved this challenge!

“My new move dig.” A few minutes later: “until we get earthquake or dig.” 😂

"I love it when a plan comes together" I see what you did there

There is a post game boss to Black and White if you ever get a run like this again. You Can challenge the Elite Four again and they will be much much harder, and then I think you can challenge Alder to actually become the champion.

Which reminds me. I did a Porygon run in Pokemon Black months ago. And even though I failed to make it through the post-game I actually took Porygon though the main story and beat the game but even though I'll call that a successful run I think I might revisit the run again in the future with better EV training so I can try to retry the post-game along with a few runs I already beat such as White 2 with only a Metagross and Shield with only one Diglett since I didn't EV train much in any of those runs.

Me: Oh no, less than 30 minute run? He must have failed. Sandile: Actually quite the opposite.

6:44 "Until we get either Dig or Earthquake, this should be our strongest move." He says as he uses Dig.

This run just proves why Sandile is my favorite little chompy

Big fan of how you were soo happy this run... 👌😎🦄😁

Glad you enjoyed the run! I don't understand the gen 5 hate, there are a lot of good pokemon in those games.

As a tip, when needing to grind in gen 5, it is ALWAYS worth it to search for shaking grass for Audino. Even the amount of time it will take to get a shaking patch, as well as the other Pokemon that can spawn, are worth slogging through in order to the get the exp yields from Audino.

StreetSharx the glass cannon! Sandile is one of the best things to come out of gen V, is typically always on my team in some capacity.
