It's kind of appropriate Nidoking/Queen have such wide movesets, being Kaiju-inspired mons that aren't primarily based on one real-world animal like Rhydon. And Kaiju are known for sporting all kinds of energy attacks. Hence the wide special coverage. Heck, all six Nidos keep their names in every language (the Gen I French localiser says this was a reflection of them not being a direct real-world analogue).

It's the king

It may not have been quite the speed run king that it is with in-battle items, but there's no denying Nidoking's move pool diversity and balanced stats carried it far here. Kind of funky to have a Pokémon place this high without a single setup, status or stat-altering move (give or take status conditions off Thunderbolt or Ice Beam). Feels like a main game play through, just optimised. Gives it a different feel from most runs on here! Thanks once again, JRose!

Ah yes, I am deeply familiar with this Speedrun, only with a lvl 100 Nidoking right after losing my save because I set up an ACE instruction wrong. It's so much fun to break RBY.

Magmar, i see a Man of culture here :)

you know, it would be interesting to have an "evolution line" run one of these days, something like start with dratini and evolve it during play all the way to dragonair, to see which line has the best transition through out the game.

A performance fitting of royalty indeed. While it's always fun to see some of the more technical/strategic aspects of a run, it's also fun to just watch something forego any set up and power through by hitting everything really hard every once in a while.

Only watched up to the Brock section yet, but when JRose get to her, Nidoqueen may be closer to Nidoking relative to the gap between the two Nidorans. Her starting moves includes Body Slam (only 5 Base Power weaker than Thrash in Gen I, worth the confusion trade-off) and Tail Whip, which both gives something to wait out Onix's Bide and up damage output. I anticipate Nidoqueen getting past Brock quicker and holding that lead for a while, and while she will fall behind later on, as being 9 Speed and 10 Atk weaker is less of a hinderance relative to comparing the same for first-form Pokémon, I wouldn't be surprised if she was very close to Nidoking. Certainly less than the 2 levels less and 35 minutes less Nidoran-Male had on his feminine counterpart. Maybe even better! EDIT: Oh well, the Maestro anticipates this and notes it at the end, of course he does. Understandably not wanting to do the two so close together, makes sense. Thinking Nidoqueen has a reasonable chance of being better, off her identical Special which is what more attacks come off of… yeah, I could see that. Can't wait!

The Gen 1 type effectiveness messages actually aren't random. The game has an ordered checklist of different type checks and you just get whichever one comes last on that list. So it's totally predictable which message you'll get when you know the types involved.

You're right, I know that because Jrose explained it in a previous video. I'm guessing he's simplifying things for viewers.

I'm loving these! Super-hoping to see a Marrowak run; there's a chance that it'll be worse than Onix. - Speed is worse - No setup - No rock moves - Bone Club is it's only attacking move for early game (aside from TMs), and it's terrible. Misty is going to be painful. Lorelei is going to be painful. Gyarados is a nightmare. To beat Gyarados, Onix relied on outspeeding it and one-shotting with Rockslide. Marrowak might have to rely on outspeeding and one-shotting with Body Slam. Even if you bank on Gyarados missing with hydropump, you still have to deal with the fact that Marrowak is base 45 speed and no access to the badge boost glitch.

I used him as a kid because I thought Thrash was OP but Nidoking's movepool is actually bonkers.

@realperson69

Жыл бұрын

Thrash is pretty OP by Gen I standards. 90 BP is technically the strongest Normal move with 100% accuracy and no recoil damage, and getting 180-270 BP out of a single PP is really handy in casual runs when you fight a lot more Pokémon! 😁

nidoking is the most versatile for sure. in gen one he can learn bubble beam, surf, thunderbolt, thunder, rock slide, ice beam, blizzard, fire blast, earthquake and more making him a all-in-one mon. and his movepool only increased with later gens.

Speedrunners can also use the Pokédoll on the ghost Marowak, gain instant text speed from the bike shop, and dig in buildings since those things are oversights where the mechanics are just working as normal, even if not intended since they forgot to write code to stop it. They also manipulate their health to skip the level-up jingle which is about on par ethically with using badge-boost glitch in that they're generally unavoidable during regular play, so they may as well be used. This stuff is always fascinating to me. The Jrose rules seem like a happy medium.

Should be interesting. Vanman proved that The Queen is better in r/b Scott proved king was a tiny bit faster in Y. So I am looking forward to seeing Jrose take on King. Edit: Just finished the video and it looks like Jrose came to the same conclusion where Queen is better. By the way this was a fun video just as always. Well done!

"It's like a discount version of the move Outrage... which wouldn't be introduced until Gen 2." Fun fact: Outrage had 90 base power for a while before it got buffed to 120 base power in Gen 4. Even Outrage back then *was* the discount version too!

Despite saying that, you still put it below Gengar even though Gengar was essentially a free win against Brock yet still barely beat Nidoking's time.

I had a feeling when you said "The king" in your previous run! Let's goooo

I remember back in the 90s reading in a “Prima’s Official Pokémon Guide to Red/Blue” that you could get Mew using a Nidoking: train a Nidoking to lv100, go talk to a Team Rocket Grunt at the Game Corner, give him your awesome Nidoking (the guide’s exact words) and he’ll give you so,e keys to the truck parked near the S.S Anne, move the Truck and find Mew!” I am so very grateful I was too lazy to attempt this one! But I pity any poor kid who did try 😅😅😅 Thanks for all the great videos Jrose and go hug your animal friends all 💙🐱💙

Great video! I remember playing back in '99, none of my friends knew where to find a male Nidoran so early in the game. Some nonfrens call Cozy a hack or cheat, this was back before everyone had internet and game guides were $12 or $15, then a lot of money to a 10 year old. Thanks for doing this, it's a leap down memory lane mi fren.

Also, for reference, there's a particular set of movements you need to do for the Red speedrun to get the right Nidoran for the run besides the item usage, so not having a near-perfect/perfect Nido is another handicap that didn't really matter in the end. :P

I've waited so long for this. Nidoking is one of my favorite pokemon

I think, once you're done with all 151 pokemon solo runs, it would be amazing to see how you would do a jrose speedrun with the normal game and if you could beat the game faster then starting with Mewtwo, a rerun with all the things you've learned with you're number 1 pokemon to see how fast you could finish compared to the first time, and a video showing all the glitches and bugs you've learned/know about in the game (BBG number 1 glitch obviously). I would also love to see if you would enjoy a run with the level 100 Gengar/Nidoking/whichever pokemon you pick that you can glitch into the game in the forest and just destroy everything in your path (maybe as an April fool's video). Love the videos and keep up the amazing work!
