459 - Training a Pokemon from Lv. 1-100 using ONLY Struggle! The Lv. 100 Gauntlet 

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That shiny chansey hurt. You could’ve just caught it off camera wink wink

Had to sub after you fainted the chansey. Gotta respect a man so dedicated to his job. The hardest choices require the strongest wills.

Lv 100 gauntlet where you start off in a gen 3 game, and transfer said pokemon up a generation every 20 levels, using a different method each time (one of your choosing). Would be kinda neat to see different leveling methods through gens 3-7, ending up with a lv 100 at the end of sm/usum.

*the struggle is real*

This video was INCREDIBLE ugh I love this series dude and learn so many things I didn’t know thanks to you!

This wasn't even the first shiny Chansey you've killed in the name of a gauntlet if I recall. When will your reign of terror end, Matt? Excellent content as per usual, bud! Your gauntlets are something I always look forward to seeing and I can't wait to see which ridiculous gauntlet you complete next!

3 Years later and youre still nailing it... Man a shame youtube recommended you just now you deserved your breakthrough years ago. despite the "low reward" you kept your passion and didnt turned hollow, lazy or ended your channel like others, which is amazing. keep up your good work and great content and even if you wont get your (deserved) breakthrough, sometimes a small but loving community is better for your mental health and overall fun youre having with YT than a community full of trolls, children, hater and idiots which all the famous ppl atract

I just noticed that he transfered the bunnelby from his pokémon Y file - the Y file was named "WT Challenge". This was the file from when he started the challenge of completing the national dex only with wonder trade back in 2015, to finally complete it in 2021!

Awesome video! Please keep up with this series because it’s such a cool concept. Can’t wait to see more :)

That's 2 shiny chanseys now dude. You better stop Loved the video as always keep it up

I miss being able to sit on benches

The reason Struggle was changed to do 1/4 of user's max HP in recoil, instead of 1/4 damage dealt? Never explicitly confirmed, but most likely because of Gen III Leftovers Wobbuffet vs. Leftovers Wobbuffet matches, where neither one could switch out (Shadow Tag didn't have the "Shadow Tag immune" or "Ghost-types immune" exceptions yet) and neither could deal enough damage with Struggle to overcome the 1/16th max HP recovery Leftovers provides.

It just occurred to me... you should do a Lv100 DexNav Gauntlet.

I love the clip of you in the vest Occasionally the memory of it comes into mind and I come find this video so I can watch it again It’s so wholesome I love it

What makes it more amazing is that your last enemy in your struggle journey.... is yourself, an Absol. I guess I can say that it is ABSOLutely beautiful.

One of the other comments suggested raising a pkmn to 100 by walking in Let's Go. But I was thinking about the pokewalker for Hg/Ss, that would be really interesting; you could even to them together, since both of the accessories are really small

I legit got a shiny ho-oh while watching this video, thank you for the luck absol :D

I cry every time a shiny gets ded

You should have also traded the Bun from another game for it to get even more boosted xp! Great video!

Each time you release a gauntlet video, I always let out a confused sigh as to how you manage to do it. Thank you for continuing this wacky category on your channel :)

Tipping is useless, it was just for a Global Link mission (of course it is discontinued)

I had absolutely no idea that the 3DS' step counter would allow for more OPower uses quicker. You've actually blown my mind, that's incredible haha. Great video as always Matt, have a great New Year mate!

And with this, I've officially seen every episode of The Level 100 Gauntlet available for viewing as of 24/12/2019.

Sir, your videos randomly appeared on my timeline (made even odder by the fact I’m only a fair weather Pokémon fan) but ever since I’ve marathoned all of your episodes. I dig all the extra stuff that goes along with the process, adds much needed personality to these kinds of gauntlets. Keep up the good work, if I see more episodes in my feed, I guarantee you a view. Keep up the good work.

This is my first time watching a level 100 gauntlet and this is actually really good. Enjoyed a lot and will probably binge the rest sometime soon. Keep it up 😊

This guy needs more subscribers! he puts so much effort in his videos its insane. Keep doing what you are doing, you will reach 10k in no time

You could have not shown the shiny being caught and pretended it didnt happen. But you actually showed it. The respect you deserve is immense

I refuse to like this because u killed a shiny, tho I won’t dislike (Still an amazing video)

just found ur channel while replaying hg/ss. this is straight up quality content dude. keep it up. greetings from germany

You are INSANELY patient. Much respect for you 👍

The way Huge Power works, it doesn't double the BASE, it doubles the stat. That might not sound different, but trust me it is. Because of how Huge Power and Pure Power works, Mega Mawile has an effective base attack stat of 259, which translates to an actual max stat of 678. Keep in mind that it's actual base Attack stat is 105.

1. Another shiny chansey kill. 2. My favorite thing is that you manage to get to get outside. Way to go buddy!

I just discovere your channel yesterday and I've got to say you are amazing, haha. Answering all the questions I never had the time to answer as a kid playing these games. Keep on keeping on, your content is awesome!

Love your vids, love your vibe. Keep up the creativity and commitment. You rock!

Have you considered raising a Pokémon to level 100 by walking irl in let’s go?

“Level 100, pinnacle of power for a Pokémon, very few Pokémon EVER reach this level.” Unless there is a cheating device being used ;)

I would of never thought this would be possible😂😂😂 Nice vid keep up the great work!

Love the gauntlet and I'm glad you show us cool things from your walks

Bruh every video you continue to flabbergast me with the amount of sheer commitment and persistence and patience. You have once again earned my RESPECT!

man, I'm not event that into pokemon, but one of your videos was suggested and I ended up watching many more. I just admire your resilience. If you can do shit like this I'm sure you're gonna be a badass in life. Cheers!

Love your videos man! Every time I watch them, I feel like you deserve so many more views and subscribers

You have the best videos dude. Always interesting topics and a pleasure to watch from start to finish. A majority of the time I end up learning some new bit of info or trivia too! I love the video diary style, "A day in the life of an Absol". Keep being awesome!

Man I really enjoy how you mix the outdoors with the subject of the video. It's a breath of fresh air (literally and figuratively)

Started seeing you around my reccomended, and you got me hooked dude! I absolutely adore your content! Such great enthusiasm and diversity in your videos! Youve earned my sub and likes! Keep on going! (Ive played pokemon since gen one and ive gone all ghe way here, and im only 17.) ive been playing since five! Again, keep it up bud!

Hey man just want to say great work on your videos! Recently came up on your video in my recommended list. Easily became a fan with the first video! So much originality and great content you been pumping out. So many poketubers are just copy and paste of each other (top 10's) and you're such a breath of fresh air! Keep up the grind and awesome video content!

I've been watching these gauntlets for about three days now. I just wanted to say you my friend are AN ABSOLUTE UNIT for doing this keep it up!

Very few pokemon ever reached this level... AbsolBlogs raised over 30 pokemon to lvl 100 xddd

I'm doing a play through of my pokemon platinum and its always fun watching these while I'm training my pokes, keep doing what you do man.

Great gauntlet as always, dude!! These vids are always so much fun to watch, I’m sorry I only got to it now!

11:15 YOU MONSTER!! My shiny Chansey is currently following me while waiting for a shiny Kangaskhan to spawn in Let's Go. You made it cry!! :( Edit: Ended up with an Adamant Shiny Machop, not bad!! That's enough for tonight at least! :)

I recently found your channel and I have been having a blast watching you play Pokémon. I now want to level up a Pokémon to level 100 but I don’t have my DS lite with me so I guess I’ll have to wait until spring break.

Right as I search this series once again, it comes back! Woo! I love your videos!

I’ve been watching your videos for quite a long time man, the level 100 gauntlet has to be the most interesting Pokémon series on RU-vid hands down, I’m currently doing a level 100 gauntlet with a cyndaquil on mount battle in Pokémon XD

So glad i had one of your vids pop up in recommended. I love your lvl 100 gauntlet vids, your channel is underrated and you deserve more subs. Also i'd love to add you on PoGo my dude.

I love videos on X and Y, reminds me of the good old days when these games just came out. Great gauntlet video as well!

AbsolBlogsPokemon wow Matt this was a surprise Lv 100 gauntlet tho , also hope you had a awesome Christmas and etc , also happy New Year’s Eve , can’t wait for what’s in store in 2019 . Man can’t believe it would be also 9 years on RU-vid

Awesome video Matt! And happy new year! I hope you’re gonna have a great year 😄

I like the walks you go on. I know I used to exclusively level some Pokemon with Pokewalker since I didn't feel like grinding in the games.

Not gonna lie; you’ve thought me an abundance of things love the gauntlet series its one of the fucking best i watch the whole thing entertained. Please do more

Hey dude I have absolutely been loving the series. I really appreciate how you actually film stuff and it isn't just b roll with voice over! That being said I have a challenge for you... Level 100 by only Taking damage! I forsee a Ferroseed with Rocky Helmet that knows Leech Seed and Ingrain as well as Iron Defense. It would be a crazy long grind but if anyone can do it you can!

Woah! Great editing job at 26:10!

Enjoying these gauntlets! So much fun to watch!

ANOTHER GAUNTLET AND ITS ON 31ST OF DECEMBER TOO!! YOU ARE AMAZING

Im a Life is strange 1 fan and indeed, one of the best features in any game is allowing players to sit and enjoy an unique dialogue or just a cool scenery.

The alternative to the Assault Vest is to have something that only knows the move Belch. You have to worry about deleting moves every time it levels up, and the strongest Pokémon you can use is Cacturne (so no Huge Power) but you do get to use the Lucky Egg, and you don't have to worry about Embargo or Knock Off etc.

This channel, is great, glad youtube recommended me this out of nowhere lol.

I've still yet to do the Looker mission... and the delta episode... and most of the Ultrabeast stuff 😅 As soon s I beat the elite four I'm just itching to start a new adventure in a different Pokémon region.

What an interesting idea! How wonderful.

Yes! My favorite series : ]

6:00 Matt : there isn’t a mon based on that animal yet Cramorant: *im boutta end this mana whole career*

You're the biggest Pokémon nerd on YT and I love it!

Shiny Chansey? Matt : NO Level 53? Matt: HECK YES

I've caught so many shiny chansey I can't even be upset over that one 🤣. Another great gauntlet! Sometimes the camera audio tends to one side but it could just be your position relative to it. Otherwise outstanding video! Hope 2019 treats you right! 😁

That pokeball “glitch” is just the function in place for interacting with objects or people behind tables.

Seeing these just makes me want to try and join the challenge! I think my favourite lvl 100 gauntlet is the Nincada one, I want to try and do it. :D

I love this guy and his taste in anime he has a poster of my favourite anime haikyuu! And hunter x hunter and I love this series keep up the good work

Here's my explanation of how huge power works, hope it helps. Bunnelby with huge power will have a base attack of 121-2 Driggersby will have little over 160 base attack. The base attack isn't doubled the attack stat is. To explain in a different way, a pokemon with huge/pure power can be seen as a pokemon who used swords dance before switching in. A non huge power diggersby will have the same attack as one with huge power if non huge dighersby uses swords dance.

I remember having a Azumarill with huge power, it had PLAY ROUGH and MURDERD everything in it path.

I have a story about Struggle and recoil moves. So, I’m doing a wonderlocke of X. I got a level one Beldum for one of my Pokémon. While I was training it, I found a horde of Nosepass. One level 15 Beldum to five level 10 Nosepass? No thanks. Son of a gun, one or two of them have magnet pull. Ok, just try and use take down to kill them until I get the one with magnet pull. Nope, they decided to use block. Thanks to potions, struggle, and a few lucky critical hits (that ignored all of the hardens), I eventually took out four of them. At that point, I figured I earned the right to bend the rules a bit, so I finished the battle by catching the last one. In future challenge runs, I am going to allow myself to break the rules one time, for situations like this.

This is the most real and quality youtuber of them all

You absolute madman. You actually did it. Also thank you for using my comment. I feel special and blessed. uwu

My man this inspired me to try like this and this was so cool.

Dude you are a legend

You gave me a real good laugh when you said, “got us to level 53 though :D”

This probably took for ever good job

I love how your videos play out like documentaries.

Woohoo! It's been a minute! I can already tell you've upped in quality from what I've seen! First!

These videos inspired me to do my own personal challenge, beating the game w/o knocking out a pokemon (they either faint from recoil or status, or I catch them). I just beat my first pokemon! A lvl 2 fletchling. for 19 exp. Whoo boy.

5:44 Or you could have a second 3DS with a second Gen VI game, send the Exp. Point O-Power from that to the Bunnelby game (which would also cost less orbs, since sharing Powers is cheaper than using them yourself), and once out of orbs, reset the sharing game to refill. No walking needed!

glad to see another person who loves absol, absol kicked my ass in ultra sun (the first pokemon game i played, actually) so i had to get one and i love him so much

Ive been on such a gauntlet spree, ive watched like 10 of them already

Seriously the best Pokémon youtuber. Wish I found this channel earlier

This is how many times he said “Struggle” V

I love these videos!!!!

just saw that this was on the WT Challenge file! Interesting to see as I just watched both the Y Wonder Trade Gauntlet and the Lv. 100 #murkrow videos!

you are inspirational my dude

0:37 Bruh if I ever find a shiny Beldum Im using a master ball 😂😂 for those who dont know it has a catch rate of 3, so basically the equivalent of trying to catch Ho Oh or Lugia except Beldum can kill itself with Take Down alot quicker than the former would with struggle lmao

I decided to have this video going in the background while I was trying to find a Sableye to catch in a Dusk Ball in Ten Carat Hill, and I ended up stumbling upon a Shiny Zubat...at about the point of the video where you found the Shiny Chansey in the Friend Safari Lucky for me, I was allowed to catch the flappy boi

i never knew you played competitive smash thats so cool!
