Defense Curl Rollout Turn 3 has 240 Base Power. Rock Slide has 75. 240/75 = 3.2 aka 3.2 Rockslides, meaning Turn 3 DefCurl Rollout does the same damage as Ttar with Rockslide. Actually its a bit more. Turn 5 is 4x that, so its like a +6 Atk Ttar with Rock Slide. Then take that Damage x4 because the calculation now was for a +0 Atk Shuckle, and then that x2 for the Crit. Thats a LOT of Damage Edit: After looking at Showdowns damage calculator for a bit, if the other Pokemon is +0 Def the only Pokemon with a Chance to live this in Gen2 is Steelix, and even that is a range.

Every individual hit can be crit (x2) or very effective (x2) or double effective (x4) like vs Arkos or Lavados (4x) weakness. So i think max power with rollout would be: 480 base power (5. hit of attack) x stab = 720 * 2 (crit) * 4 (double weakness) * 1,1 (rock item hold) = 6336! I think there is a scenario with pikachu and gyarados: Thunder 120 base *2 (charge attack first) * 2 (crit) * 4 (4x weakness) * 2 (special item for pikachu) = 3840. some of the factors where just added later into the game !

@@rainpooper7088 There's so many redundant versions of that message throughout the series. I think in Red/Blue a pokemon that immediately breaks out of a ball is given the text "You missed the pokemon!". You didn't, you did hit, it just broke out right away. But so many people get confused thinking they literally missed and there's some accuracy check as well as an actual catch check. Add in "But nothing happened!" from splash, "It doesn't affect ____...." for 0x effective moves, "______ missed!" for misses, "_____ avoided the move in time with your shout!" for affection-based misses. And they are literally all just ways of saying that nothing happened from the action that took place. I can see why a little bit. The specificity in "It doesn't affect ____" implies it DOES affect other pokemon, which is true. But then again, splash doesn't have 0 use as is implied with it's message, Z-splash raises attack by 3. The text to signify affection-based effects seems entirely for flavour, or maybe to indicate it's not just a regular one, to encourage more use of it. But it's not like I can actually make my pokemon dodge. A miss is a miss, regardless of the text.

Some say that after this, Shuckle realised that his powers were too great for him to handle and he went on a quest to understand how to control his powers.

You didn't mention another thing that makes Rollout even more overpowered: Shuckle gets STAB for it.

Yeah, partly I feel it’s a victim of older game design doctrine, where it was acceptable to let kids “nose to the grindstone” to deal with bad luck. I know RBY’s E4 is less luck based, but you see the same thing with Agatha to be fair. I think another part is that making it so the AI has finite PP means that they can’t become invincible by spamming double team, so it’s a bit less cheap to let them use status and evasion than in RBY: eventually, they’ll run out of PP and struggle, and if you brought some healing supplies, you can ride the mess out. So I guess that’s a third thing: they still assume you’re going to be spamming the crap out of healing items or switch whenever you get slapped with status

I never knew about Defense Curl doubling Rollout's damage until today and I finally beat Pokémon Silver with only Togepi after I had lost all hope thanks to you. Your videos really motivated me to continue my run and I beat Lance just a day off of four years after starting my run. Maybe Togepi can probably beat Gold/Silver without items in battle (which I did use) but I'm not sure. Morty is the single hardest gym leader I have ever faced.

I'll tell you what the worst Pokemon to do a Gen 2 run with is for me so far, and that's Paras. Paras is just awful. It's just awful. It's so slow! Fire and Flying types are so common! Both Lance AND Red have a Charizard! It is impossible to beat Red consistently! In fact, even with optimal strats at level 100, you've got a 1/250 chance to beat him on any given attempt. There is just so much that can go wrong, and worst of all, Quick Claw is mandatory due to a combination of Paras's horrible speed not allowing it to outspeed Charizard at any level, and the fact that Charizard can instakill it with either of its attacking moves. And you need a ton of sleep luck to win, because yes, you're never going to OHKO it with any of Paras's moves, and really, the best you can do is put it to sleep, use Slash, and still you need it to either stay asleep for all 5 turns, or you need it to stay asleep for 4 turns and get at least one crit with Slash, which is actually slightly less likely. Oh, and you're not done yet, because you need Espeon to not use Reflect, or you're doomed, and you need good Spore sleep luck against Snorlax, or else it's going to PP stall you with Rest. Hell, what caused the most resets for me was the fact that Pikachu can paralyze you or use Charm to make the rest of the fight impossible. If Pikachu uses Charm, Charizard is impossible even it stays asleep for 5 turns and you crit every time, so that's an instant reset right there.

Gen 2 was my absolute favorite gen. I remember one time I decided to catch a shuckle. I cannot explain how bad my luck was with catching that thing. I was about to challenge the elite 4, had all 8 badges. Never had a shuckle before so I decided to catch it and try it out! Well, I had over 100 ULTRA balls into it at this point, and was FURIOUS. I was practically seeing red. I gave up. I had one thing at my disposal to capture the oddly elusive shuckle, however. I legitimately used my master ball on a shuckle, my cousin thinks I'm an Idiot and still gives me a hard time about it. He may be right. I don't regret it.

Y'know, I've never appreciated how much more engaging these videos have come since you do show failed battles now. I used to put these on in the background. Now I usually watch these fully, from start to finish. Nice work!

Thanks for the video! My only issue with Gen 2 is that the second round of gym leaders are so basic. I'd be open to seeing these older ones run on the newer versions as well. This is still entertaining and fun to watch though, so thanks again!

You know what I find so incredible about this channel? Well, one thing anyway - it's that we get a glimpse into the programming of the game sometimes, like with that Hypnosis miss 13:36 . I still don't understand fully, but I just know we are really pushing the game to it's breaking point without glitches. Respect.

The mental image is just too good, this tiny thing casually rolling sbout like a slow moving bowling ball, just demolishing everything in its way 😂

What a run, I think Gold/Silver is a lot funner to see because stuff is more balanced, less glitchy stuff etc, and the luck just feels better when it happens! This is proof that they designed Shuckle this way for a reason. It's meant to actually be dangerous... Water is really the only major worry for it since in gen 2 steel/rock still don't have a lot of moves and they all have non perfect accuracy. But yeah, Shuckle was meant to be a legit pokemon usable on a legit team. Hell, he mighta beaten Red easier than Charizard or Venusaur would have, finishing at level 75.

I just love your vids, and its fresh to see a gen 2 run. Would like more.

The 25% of missing all status moves have is actually a 25% chance to fail, so accuracy really has nothing to do with it. Like trying to use fake out on second turn, it just fails. Love the content btw, keep it up!

I literally had no idea how OP Rollout was, even without Defense Curl. I've always thought people whinged a lot about Whitney for no reason, but knowing how strong Rollout really is, it kind of makes sense. I love seeing you try other generations but agree that the Elite 4 being in the middle wrecks the flow of these Gen II videos. Especially challenge runs like this. I've said it to you a lot but I would love to see minimum battles GSC because it shows how Johto is structured and you can get right into Kanto and compare it to the previous generation in terms of battles required. You mentioning how there's over 100 really makes me curious. I'm not sure how I would feel if you were to like replicate all of Gen I challenge Pokemon into Gen II but I think this was a pretty good choice for a Gen II solo run. I'll watch most anything of this nature you put out in any generation, but I think trying challenges outside the box in other generations besides I is a good thing, although I am keen to see you get back to Basic Pokemon. Also you're so close to finishing the road 200k. I hope you hit it before the end of 2020 man because you absolutely deserve it.

I'm so glad you had this degree of success in your run. Shuckle is literally my favourite Pokemon of any generation. I find it utterly adorable, its gimmick amuses me and I just think it's fun to play with (though I'd never been mad enough to try a solo run with one 🤣) Seriously, possibly my favourite of your challenge runs so far!

Safeguard would have been a good choice, too. It prevents even confusion and accuracy or stat drops in gen 2. Unless your opponent got protection moves they can't do anything about. Nice challenge, man 👌
