For Kadabra I assume its because Kadabra is actually not holding the everstone at all. Since its hands is already busy holding the spoon, it just "holds" it telepathically
@@HashiNuke If it was in the Safari Zone, you'd catch it in a Safari Zone. In Yellow, it's in Cerulean Cave. Interesting how he didn't try catching Lickitung in Yellow. Also, it's an obvious April Fools' joke because Luigi's not a Pokémon. He's Mario's brother. Lickitung evolves into Lickilicky, and that's after Generation IV. Back in Red and Blue, Lickitung couldn't evolve. Did the original Game Boy have any gyro sensor to allow for Inkay's evolution method? If not, then that's impossible to evolve Lickitung that way.
The reason Beldum is uncatchable with the Heavy Ball in Sun and Moon is because of a glitch with the catch formula for Heavy Balls specifically. All other balls affect catch rate multiplicatively (for instance, Beldum normally has a catch rate of 3, so an Ultra Ball's double catch rate would calculate using a catch rate of 6, meanwhile a Beast Ball's ~0.1 modifier on non-UBs would calculate using ~0.3), while a Heavy Ball adjusts catch rate additively (-20 for anything under 225.5 lbs, meaning Beldum's new catch rate is -17). In all other games, should the catch rate be 0 or negative, the catch rate would be set to 1, but in Sun and Moon (not USUM) this check is missing meaning any 0 or negative number is not rounded, making catches truly impossible. The reason Beldum is used is because it's one of the few wild Pokemon in Sun and Moon who fits the criteria of having both A: being less than 225.5 lbs, and B: having a catch rate
I figured this was the case, though I originally thought that the code was less than 220lbs and more than 220 lbs, thus leaving exactly 220 lbs as a glitch case. Accidents happen. Most of the code in red and blue proves that...
You're better off just using a Masterball on a Beldum, perhaps even a quick ball at the start, maybe a few timer balls if you're reserved in using your one and only Masterball.
@@issan9795 if I dont have a master ball I normally would use a Reuniclus with Skill Swap + Magic Guard to give the Beldum the ability (Magic Guard protects user from recoil except struggle, even when passed on via Skill Swap), then I switch to my level 100 False Swiper with Thunder Wave or preferably Spore (such as Breloom) and use level balls that's if level balls are even available in the game and Beldum are low enough levels, but stuff like Pixelmon Minecraft that would be my go to strategy
Let's keep in mind the discrepancy that Dobbs was using a GBA to test the Luigi theory, and not an actual GB. So the test was flawed from the start, even if it's still 100% true that that particular theory is 100% false lmao
It’s the opposite. There’s a trade in Snowpoint City where you’re traded a Haunter that’s holding an everstone so it doesn’t evolve into Gengar. Also Kadabra’s been around long before gen 4 so it couldn’t reference that.
@@chaossalad3243 well has it been tested with kadabra and Haunter before and after gen 4? Because this is the first time I've heard of kadabra evolving with an everstone. So maybe it was not possible before and they changed it later? I don't know.
And to think, the Everstone doesn't affect Kadabra? You can't use the Yuri Geller lawsuit as an excuse when Kadabra has been available in every game up until Scarlet and Violet.
Thing is, Pika are tiny little mice-like creatures. Like, actual ones. But "pikapika" is a japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle I guess? Then "chuchu" is a mouse noise.
It's funny that most of the steps for obtaining a Luigi have come true. Lickitung evolves: Check Location-based evolution: Check Turn your system upside down to evolve: Check Party slot-based evolution: Kind of (Shedinja) Evolve only if fed a Rare Candy: Kind of (if level 100 and can still evolve by level up) Ball-based evolution: Not yet (and you thought there were a lot of Eeveelutions)
@@chaossalad3243 for me I use galade since I can have thunder wave, hypnosis, false swipe and heal pulse. It's main use is for things like soft resetting for legendary shiny hunting when they're not shiny locked. I keep track of their moves and how many times they've used them and when it gets close I use heal pulse to make sure the time it uses struggle won't make it faint.
It has a catchrate of 3, which matches early legendaries up until X/Y. I'm not sure if there's some stragglers beforehand, but Yveltal and Xerneas have a catchrate of 45. I guess they never really programmed a an actiual catchrate in because you could not find Beldums in the wild until B2W2 and chances are nobody bothered to check at that point. Why would soem random sudolegi have a legendary catchrate anyways? But yeah, GF, please fix this. Don't wanna have to go beg Steven every time i want a Beldum and not just toss my Master ball at it. (I did catch a shiny Beldum in a Masterball in SM thought, totally worth it!)
If you got pokemon number 160 in gen 1, it would be a missingno. That's what gave it away to me from the beginning. You can catch a lickitung with an ultra ball with the safari zone glitch, though.
The Kadabra thing is most likely a glitch. According to Bulbapedia, In Gen III, there was a glitch where the Everstone would not work with _any_ Pokemon that evolved by trade. So Haunter, Machoke, Graveler and Kadabra _all_ could evolve while holding an Everstone. The glitch got fixed in Generation IV, but not for Kadabra strangely enough.
@@theamazingspooderman2697 That's not even laziness tho. It is like if all pure firetypes were weak to water as intended, but one of them is instead weak to dragon. Like, how do you even do that by mistake?
@@lpfan4491 I guess the catchrate is individual per Pokémon, so it's an easy mistake. (I'm surprised there weren't more wrong catchrates tbh) But it having been known since B2W2 is rather on the sad side. As for AKdabra, no clue. Maybe some kinda flag not set correctly? Chances are it's lost in the spaghetti code of Pokémon.
Unless you're doing that Safar Zone glitch that will end you up in that glitched city. Then you could encounter Lickitung while surfing on the shores of Cinnabar Island and catch it in an ultra ball there.
The fact Kadabra evolves with an everstone is crazy (I want haunter to do the same thing coz the everstone is just a rock and haunter is a ghost, would the everstone just fall off out or haunter’s hand coz it’s a ghost..)
The whole situation with Kadabra can be summed up to the fact that Uri Geller just wanted to ride Pokemon's hype when it suddenly started to spike back up in popularity him using the fact that he somehow in his mind looks like Kadabra to stop them from printing cards of the Pokemon after the team rocket version or Dark Kadabra card was printed way back in the day. It was nothing but greed on his end as he used the situation to try and promote the museum that he has for his magic show on twitter which is beyond scummy to do when he was the reason why we hadn't seen a Kadabra card for years. Kadabra looks nothing like him and I was shocked that he somehow thought it did when I looked into why we hadn't seen cards for that Pokemon in soo long.
6:49 since you were trading for Lickitung in the first place, why didn’t you trade it from yellow or Gen two games where you can catch it in the wild in an Ultra Ball? I don’t think you can say it’s disproven when you use the lickitung You’re not even sure it was caught in an ultra ball, and according to the page you looked up, it can be found and caught in an ultra ball in other games that connect to red and blue.
The Luigi one is instantly debunked, without booting the game. 3ds was the first Gameboy with a gyroscope. Earlier units would have no way to detect orientation.
I never understood why Beldum has such an abysmal catch rate. Sure, it's a pseudo legendary, but none of the other pseudo legendaies are anywhere near that hard to catch! What gives?
See, I assumed that it was because Beldum was never meant ti be caught due to its status as a gift Pokemon in gen 3 and thus the catch rate was given to it and Gamefreak never changes catch rates… except… they have. In ORAS, Rayquaza was changed from 3 to 45, while the other legends with higher than 3 were lowered to 3. Heck even in the current gen, they made Basculin easier to catch… so Gamefreak is aware and they do change them… just Beldum was never touched.
Colosseum changed certain catch rates supposedly although I agree it never made sense for Beldum to have the lowest catchrate possible. Also it's absurd that a heavy ball lowers the catchrate of something over 200 Lbs. Half of the Apricorn Balls are almost unusable by design. Heavy Ball only makes it harder to catch most species, Moon Ball only helps catch 5 Pokemon, The Same Species Clause of Love Ball which was broken in Gen 2, the list goes on.
@@Dadadadadadada440 Actually just very recently it seems they gave them a official name since they came out with a whole merchandise line featured around them. They didn't go with the fan term like they did with the term shiny and instead chose the term powerhouse pokemon.
I remember a rumor when I was a kid that if you had a level 99 dragonair in pokemon red/blue and got it to level 100 in the battle against Lance it would evolve into yoshi
The heavy ball isn’t programmed incorrectly in Sun and Moon, it functions as it always has The problem, so that in every other game, if the catch rate falls to 0 or lower, it is set to 1 instead, but this was missed when programming SM (I think it was fixed in USUM)
There is an easy way to catch Beldum in the Sun and Moon, though. I don’t remember what method though, but it’s not entirely uncatchable. I’ve used this method to make it easier to catch and successfully caught one. Not with a Heavy Ball, though.
It's catchable as it has a catchrate of 3. (Like Mewtwo as example) Chances are you gave it a status at night and chucked dusk balls at it when it's moderately low hp.
I think it's also possible to find Lickitung with that one glitch to get Mew you only need to find the right trainer for it. I abused this shit so much it broke my box and I got a green level 101 Charizard named Arctuno, every Ditto that tried to transform into it became a Metapod and the cherry on top was nothing was effective against it. Good old memories.
That's a weird first fact to make up like that, because Pikachu really is based on/named after a pika, but they live in Asia, Europe and North America.
I have been watching your videos and I love it so far!! Can you make a video for every eevee evolution as a different Legendary beast. Because a theory says that Entei is Flareon, Raikou is Jolteon and Suicune as Vaporeon. Thank you!! And keep up the good videos!!
The Luigi one is so blatantly fake, like: You can't catch a Lickitung in an Ultra Ball, the Lickitung has the nickname of Marc, so Luigi would be called Marc, and neither the Gameboy nor cartridge have a way to tell that it's upside down. The third thing is what really gives it away. Waste of time both recording and watching. The rest of the tests were much more interesting because it was more ambiguous of whether they were real or not and I learned some things.
I did something kind of similar to the Pay Day Ditto thing. It was pretty stupid. So I've been working on a Pokemon fan game for years now. It's done through RPG Maker XP, so I can easily change anything about a Pokemon. So one time just because I decided to give Shuckle an evolution (I think it was Kangaskhan) so the Eviolite item would work on it. Then I boosted the PP for Defense Curl, Growl and Iron Defense up to 99, (and one other move. I can't remember which one, but it didn't deal damage anyawy) boosted the PP for Pay Day to be 99, and beat this level 100 Shuckle with max IVs and max EVs in Defense relentlessly with a team of level 1 Meowths who knew Pay Day while also giving myself a bunch of Max Ethers and other PP restoring items. It took well over an hour to beat it. Eventually the Shuckle ran out of PP before I did and it Struggled itself to death. I thought about giving it something like Recover or Rest so I would have more chances to beat it up with coins, or give it to a trainer who has a bunch of Max Potions or Max Ethers, or giving it the Steel typing so it'd be 4x resistant to normal moves, but I just couldn't. It was the dumbest experiment I have ever done, and it left me with less than $300,000. :\ Someday I might just release a "game" that's just stupid experiments like this so others can try them for me.
I wish that that worked with all traded pokémon because it would have a great explanation because of that. Troll who gives you a haunter with an everstone
That Pay Day stuff at the end was the most interesting thing I've seen in a Pokemon game in quite a while. It reminded me of Soft-Lock Picking, good stuff.
Could you test if you can catch the red Gyarados from HG/SS in the post-game? -The myth involves that you need to beat him down first and only after finishing the game it would reappear in a similar spot from the same location. I have always wanted to catch him in a luxury ball but seemed impossible to how the game progression is.
I'm not buying that the 999999 pokedollars in a battle is possible, because there may be a payday max value or cap on how much money can actually be earned. The game may not have the space in memory to store such a large number
The $999999 from Pay Day is correct. At least that's the case in gen 1. The game uses 3 bytes to store the Pay Day money in the current battle. That is the same format used to store the player's money using 3 bytes.
10:49 did you even try to lower its health or give it a status effect? We all know that you need to try and wear it down some before catching it (unless you use a master/quick ball)
Just because you can't catch a Beldum with a Heavy Ball at full HP doesn't make it an "uncatchable mon" in the same vein as the ghost Marowak that you literally can't catch. It's catchable, just not with a Heavy Ball.
About Pikachu misconception: Pika means bright/shiny in japaneese. and -chu is a cute sound generally used for cute mammals. so, a cute electric mouse that shines with electricity becomes: Pika-Chu.
I think you can still get max money from a single battle in scarlet and violet. First, get a meowth and only teach it payday and rest. Second, get a harvest arboliva, give it a leppa berry, and teach it rest, sunny day, and fling via tm. Give the meowth an amulet coin, lead with it and find a wild ditto. Let the ditto transform into meowth and switch to arboliva. Both pokemon know rest, harvest always restores berries in the sun and fling and leppa berry means infinite pp.
I have edited the Pokemon Emerald ROM and made it possible to encounter all 386 Pokemon in the wild, including Beldum. And except for the Masterball, Beldum seems uncathcable with all other types of balls too, even safari balls.
6:30 you can catch it in route 44 in GS and then you can trade it back, but obviously it doesn't matter because Luigi isn't in the game code and no sprites of him exist in the RBY versions of pokemon, and as far as I am aware all pokemon games. But if you are hell bent on trying this right, that's the way to do it
When I was a little kid I remember someone telling me that if you used an Itemfinder you could find an item called a Mist Stone in Cerulean Cave that could...idk, evolve Mewtwo or something maybe? I don't remember. I do remember that I tried it just to see what happened since it didn't take a long time, but alas it was a classic made up playground rumor
So I've only ever recently caught my first beldum in Pokemon Scarlet... Sword and Shield it was IMPOSSIBLE. I caught the Galarian legendary birds in about a dozen throws each .. beldum? Nope indeed impossible. Had it at 2 hp, paralyzed, and still went through over 200 ultra balls before I gave up
0:58 they annouced this during gen 4 saying that gts trading with everstones was meanspirited and then fans reminded them about a haunter in gen 2 with a everstone and didnt evolve. It was to prevent assholeism
It’s odd, but I understand why Bendum would be impossible to catch in a heavy ball. It has the same catch rate as legendary Pokémon, so most poke balls will have a tough time catching it. They aren’t uncatchable, though, although it’s very hard to catch them. You can catch Beldam with master balls, obviously, or Ultra Balls, since Ultra Balls can and will work on other legendary Pokémon.
Yep! There was an article I was reading the other day about pikas in the Columbia River gorge. They also look more like rabbits than whatever the creature was that he used for his fake pika.
