Can you beat Emerald Rogue with only DARK type Pokemon? 

Where is bolt beam?

@@balancemaster55 Electric and Ice don't synergise as well when they're a dual-type move compared to their coverage as two separate moves. Electric/Ice is still a pretty decent combination though, with 1 immunity and 4 resistances.

thing is, water, fire, grass and electric are all not amazing becuase of abilities that make the pokemon immune..

I would have thought Fighting-Ice would have been the right answer. Guess not. Thanks for sharing! 😃

i got diagnosed with auchrism

That's exactly how I keep track of the special/physical types: every eeveelution + dragon were special

me neither until wolfey mentioned it a bit ago lol

And then there's Sylveon. But to be fair, Fairy Type would *probably* be special.

Extra strange that Dragon wasn’t included since it was a Special type

No i've used triple axel in this rom many times and it acts as it normally does. It really is quite the mystery why it one shot there.

@@cunozk Hmm, my next guess would be badge boost applying as that's still a thing in Hoenn and he already has one badge in the clip, but that's only a 1/8th increase in attack (not quite sure which stat it boosts) which shouldn't push 71.6% max roll to 100%. This is a real head scratcher.

@@Tacoassasin1After looking into that more the gen 3 boost after first gym is attack so that's a valid theory! Was stab in your calcs?

@@cunozk Yes it was, I was using Weavile in current gen since it didn't exist in gen 3, and using ice punch and modifying the damage to 20 to simulate the first hit of Triple Axle. I also tried it in gen 3 calcs by replacing a random mon with Weavile's base stats and typing, but the results were the same.

@@Tacoassasin1 How interesting what a mystery

Boltbeam and Edgequake as separate moves are roughly tied, as when used as seperate moves there are only 8 pokemon that aren't hit at least neutrally with both options (you could argue edgequake is better as Boltbeam can't hit Shedinja at all, but I don't think that's exactly fair). However both of these powerful combinations run into a problem... Immunities. Any ground type pokemon would be immune to a singular electric+ice move and any flying type would be immune to a ground+rock move. From what I could find there is no combination of 2 types that don't either have at least one mono-type that's resisted to the combination of the two, or one type that'd grant an immunity to one of the types, so this probably ends up devolving less into a 'perfect coverage' question and more into 'what type has the fewest pokemon' question, then you find a combination that only doesn't cover that one type.

And the answer is yes

I read “it’s not a good morning when you release a new video” 😭

I assume it doesn't. Based on what he was saying, the calculator he's using doesn't automatically fill in the weights of the Pokemon, meaning he has to manually adjust the power of weight related moves, and to do that he has to look up the Pokemon's weights each time. So it sounds like he's saying he'd like a calculator that automatically fills in the weights and adjusts the power by itself.

I just wanted a calculator where I type the Pokemon name in and it tells me the base power of the weight move. That way I can just choose the best move quicker :P

@@360Chrism that was what I thought! it's so weird that that doesn't exist - it sounds like it'd be super easy to implement

Ghost, Steel, Grass, Water, and dragon types would all resist (or be immune) to a move that's both Normal+water, unless they were also part ground or fire. Normal probably isn't a good type for this as it won't help cover for any of the other type's 'not very effective' match ups and kinda only makes you worse into various match ups. Also as seperate moves, there's a total of 33 (if you include Shedinja) pokemon that resist seperate water+normal moves, which loses out to the famous Edgequake and Boltbeam combos (only 8 pokemon resist either combination).

It would miss flying I guess cause they both happen on the same move, but yeah Mamoswine is sick!!

but ice is super effective against flying... @@randomInterneter

@@ember5332but an immunity is an immunity

The only problem with it I can see is that it's highly predictable once you start it

Because it isn't supposed to be

Bug isn't weak to ice. Beedrill is Bug/poison.

@@StarClan4evr I thought it was flying type. oops

@@gradwhan A fair enough assumption, Beedrill does have wings. I mean, Beedrill looks more Bug/Flying than Scyther does, at the very least
