Is it Possible to beat Pokemon Ruby with just a Feebas? 

Yo, props to the dude who clicked on the video 17 seconds after I published it to smash dislike. And you guys think I'm dedicated!

18:50 I like how Brawly compliments you with "You made a much bigger splash than I expected." He knows whats going on lol

“Oh he’s going to talk about EVs, this is epic.” 10 minutes later “OH NOOOO.”

Jrose: "No, I didn't go find 96 ralts. Well, actually I did." What I thought Jrose was going to say: "No, I didn't go find 96 ralts. Instead, I reset for a better Feebas and found 252 ralts."

For reference, He lost 26 points of special attack by drawing a bad feebas, and gained 24 points from killing those Ralts.

Find someone that loves you the way Jrose loves pokemon fish.

"In other news today, the population of ralts has been effectively wiped out by a single man. when questioned on how he would commit genocide on such a scale, all he had to say was 'The EV's man, had to get the special attack EV's'"

Jrose " I have to be not paralyzed" Me *looks down at wheelchair* " I know that feeling"

I love how he says “you” when explaining stuff, like anyone else would be mad enough to go through this hardship.

Take my god damn like for torturing yourself finding 90 ralts

"Can you beat Pokémon with slow text speed?"

You know for some reason my mind refuses to let me believe that raltz can be found in any patch of grass other than the one right outside tge city.

Can you imagine being Norman, a professional gym leader with two Pokémon whose stats rival legendaries, and your own son walks in with one feebas and wins?

Jrose: Is it possible to beat Ruby with just a Feebas? Hoenn's entire Ralts population: We fear no man, but that thing.... *Splash* Ralts: It scares us!

My favorite thing about jrose is that consistent tone of surprise in his voice throughout his videos. It's as though he's genuinely shocked that he's done this shit to himself AGAIN, every single time

At a 4% encounter rate, you fought ~2500 battles looting for those Ralts.

Since you used a Feebas for this impossible challenge, I guess you're just "fishing" for compliments

I played pretty much every gen, but damn... Hoenn is my home. Those music tracks are really pushing my nostalgia buttons

40:35 Rain Dance TM is only available in the isolated section of Abandoned Ship, requiring Diving, and therefore Tate and Liza's badge. So you couldn't have used it for that battle, but any subsequent ones would do

Feebas performed so "beautifully" that I'm surprised it didn't evolve.. But for real, hinting at a colosseum challenge run just earned you a sub

Yo no way! I just did this for Emerald; seems we're on the same wavelength 😂 It's gonna be awesome to see the nuances with Ruby/Sapphire. Big fan of your work, keep it up!

21:30 There is one you already learned Frustration

This guy is amazing. He has so much patience lol.

You had me worried there when you started using Tackle on that shiny Seedot, not gonna lie. 😥

Whenever one of your videos comes out, it's like a mini vacation for me. I really love your channel, it really helps with my anxiety. I'm a 26 year old screenwriter from Mexico City and I live alone in a small apartment and your videos really make my life better. I get giddy when you upload something.

I think the fact you do challenges that might end in failure are nice. So many channels only upload the successful ones, which semi defeats the purpose.

I love how the intro is played with trumpets, seeing as RSE's music consists mostly of trumpets aswell

The way your first magikarp video blew up the way it did, that must’ve the inspiration for the influx of challenge videos. That’s so incredible

Literally waiting for this. Idk why I like them so much. Your voice is just good.

10:33 this was only true in gen 6 and onward. 3 through 5, you CAN put 255 into one stat. But it doesn't do anything different than 252, because EVs only work in multiples of 4.

My heart sank when you attacked the shiny seedot

Hey Jrose, I believe there is a better way to handle the whole Ralts issue! Considering you're grinding on Silcoon/Cascoon for a while, wouldn't it be more practical to max out one stat (either defense on the cocoons for simplicity's sake, or attack which from the looks of the rest of the game would be more useful), and keep grinding on Pokémon that give EVs in the maxed out stat until you can beat Roxanne? That way, you don't miss out on any special attack, and can get some way more easily after Roxanne is dealt with (you could even use Zigzagoons from the start to limit grinding too)! I may have been watching way too many of these challenges to come up with a strategy like this...

50:05 Not much of a compliment for Steven's team huh, being strong against a Feebas

NINETY-SIX RALTS?!? You are the king 🤴 Come back and take your throne.

Glad to see another youtuber being so masochist and putting themselves through something as insane as this. And I really like how in-depth it is, while I would imagine a video between 20-30 minutes might be more alluring to some people, this, THIS is something I can get behind watching for an hour and above. It is gude.

This dude is so under appreciated, love this man

Well, I guess it's time for me to drop everything I was doing now and focus on the more important thing; feebas dominating everything for the next hour!

Can you beat crippling depression? I still haven't found a guide

Imagine if all the npcs could talk. Whose that random feebas trainer

First Magikarp, then Feebas... You are too good, congrats!

I was the guy who recommended Paras-only for HG/SS on twitter. Hope you'll give that one a shot, but I'm looking forward to any challenges you do either way!

Stay calm, everyone. Unhinged Pikasprey has released another video. Edit: I must not be the only one who sees the connection between these two. Thanks for the likes.

Double battle rule: use TWO Feebas.

13:09 "I don't mean to stretch out the video" BRUH. ITS ALREADY A HOUR

I'm listening to your strategy rant around 16:00 and I have to say I'd love to see more "minimum number of battles" runs because the strats you used in Gen 1 were really really clever. Love this video as well though :)

This is a great video to demonstrate the importance of perfect IVs in extreme competitive battling

I really like runs with items, especially x items and the strategy they introduce to these kind of runs. Itemless runs are challenging, sure but I dont think they are the most fun to play or watch imo

Your the best youtuber when it comes to solo runs because you actually go into depth on the process and you don't edit the fuck out of your footage till there is only the bare bones of your run actually shown.

Alright, no items in battle makes me think it's not possible. I know I sure as hell couldn't have done Fire Red with Magikarp without items in battle, but then again I've never tried something like that in Ruby. Time to watch and find out!

Legit I watched the other Feebas challenge today then this gets dropped, today is Feebas day for me apparently

"Obviously I still have a lot to learn" -The gym leader who just lost to someone brute forcing a level 30 struggling fish

I love how he checked whether Feebas could learn Bulk Up he'd just recieved

When will we get another “catch em all”? I MISS THOSE VIDEOS!!!!!

“No one else has the patience to do” Mah Dry Bread: *Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary*

I hope we get to see Yellow: min battles! The min:battles is more interesting to be because it feels like more of an optimization challenge.

8:56 Feebas is in the Erratic level up group which requires the least amount of experience to get to level 100, however, requires the most experience (quite a bit more more than the slow level up group) between the lower levels. It doesn’t actually begin to require less/level out until around level 30.

I know I’m late but I’ve really been enjoying this series due to the fact that you describe everything in complete detail so I’m able to listen to these as I work and shower lol

I've never clicked on a video faster in my life

I really like your challenges because you go into extra detail about what happened during the run. Keep up the great work.

Given that JRose has revisited some of his classic impossible challenges so seeing this in Emerald will be a joy to behold.

what a coincidence i just started playing omega ruby for the first time, spent over an hour trying to find a ralts lol

Prediction: you totally can

I have been able to consistently get jackpots in gen 3. The wheels have patterns that you can follow. As a kid me and my cousin maxed out our coin counts when we figured it out.

Imagine being challenged by your son to a pokemon battle, the only pokemon he has is feebas, and the feebas wins. I'd have mixed feelings after that.

Beldum in the future?

23:00 I figure someone's already shared this, and I find it hard to imagine I know something about Pokemon you don't, but just in case... The trick to the slots I've found is to time it. You can actually see the 7's go by, so just make sure you get a rhythm going before you hit A. Sometimes, and randomly, the game won't allow a triple 7 even with perfect timing, but you'll hit the jackpot often enough to for a solid profit. I've saved up several thousand coins from just 50 using this method on the slots in Gen 3.

I love the Norman AI. Once his second Slaking knocked out my entire team but I happened to have a freshly revived Cradily with me... It did like 1HP per attack but since Norman used nothing but Focus Punch I was able to eke out a victory!

Steven: do You want to become a Hoenn league champion with just an ugly fish? *Seven is confused* Jrose11: YES IF HE HITS HIMSELF IN CONFUSION I CAN WIN NOW

Gotta love how in the same week two people actually posted a feebas challenge (the other one on emerald though). Considering the amount of work in playing and editing it's definitely a coincidence but for sure a fun one, haha :P Feebas on diamond when /s

I thought you were gonna say "I say may because may is our rival"

i was hunting for a single raltz and i gave up after like 50 encounters, this is crazy

I appreciate your content and commentary. I know other guys have gotten out in front of you on some of these challenges, but your knowledge of states and moves makes your videos vastly more interesting. Keep it up! And please upload more battles.

Even in casual play I would catch 5 Zigzagoons and carry them around dropping one at a time as I added pokemon to my team but kept collecting them pickups so many extra rare candies and money

"..or any other series i've forgotten about" yeah, the kakuna ratata run

I only recently discovered your channel and I love listening to these challenges while at work. Sounds absolutely brutal getting those Ralts’ just for EV. Thanks for such awesome content!

POV: you're the pokemon master. none have stood against you. a kid and a rotten fish walk into the room.

Thank you for making all these cool videos in this “impossible” series, I really like them. You should totally buy some copies of the games you run and trade your challenge run Pokémon to as a sort of hall of fame kind of thing where you can save them.

Man you're content is honestly at the quality level of people who have millions of subscribers, but I guess when you do Pokemon content you expect smaller fanbases. Either way, keep up the good work.

This is your best video yet IMO. Very Entertaining! Thank you for your great work and the effort! :)

This is such a great idea. I love it how you keep on making these games more and more challenging.

Not the challenge we wanted But the challenge we needed

Jrose needs more views. Love his runs the most.

idk how you did it, but you managed to make an hour long video just feel really short, yet fun, exciting, and intriguing getting through this challenge. extremely satisfied watching this and learning many more methods of getting through this impossible challenge! also additional notes regarding to the later parts of the vid: -Even if you had bred a much better Feebas for this challenge, the IVs for it and data in general for it would change upon hatching from a different trainer, so it wouldn't matter. -Cray-dily (Least it's what I think too)

Pokemon needs to make a series about all of your abandoned super pokemon that were able to complete all these incredible feats. Perfect example: the magikarp that took down a gyarados.

Nice Feebas 👀

Love the video so entertaining to watch, I have a video suggestion. Can you make a tier list/a top 10 of the easiest of these pokemon challenges to the hardest that you've done?

i remember when i was a kid it taking annoyingly long to find just a few ralts so i could pick my favorite, or with the right ability or something i dont really remember. I can imagine scaling that up to the amount you had to find, and i can only conclude that you are a madman

jrose thank you for doing these challenges! i love them! i can’t wait for the next one ;)

6:12 Jrose: “Roxanne-...” Me:”GODDAMN - ALL SHE WANNA DO IS PARTY ALL NIGHT” 😂

It took me two hours to watch this cause I kept rewatching parts that seemed to go by too quickly

dude, you are fucking insane. I am just extremely speechless at your dedication and your scrutinized calculation. You are a real legend, mate.

Your challenge videos are so much more fun to watch than the rest of the youtubers! The way you explain every single detail and all the why's and how's are really interesting! ^^

I know how you feel about knocking out 96 Ralts at 4% encounter rate. I once defeated 523 Riolu at 5% overworld spawn rate trying to shiny hunt. Needless to say, it was the biggest waste of one week of my holidays...

More gen 3 challenges please! Various comments: I'm so happy you caught that shiny Seedot. I was worried you'd just knock it out! Brawly a joke? Now that's irony. Never thought to use 5 Zigzagoon before for its ability lmao But I know I am going to next time. I would have loved to see you name the Magikarp for the 7th gym Karpe lmao I never understood what the hell was up with Shiftry's feet. I used to think that Drake's coat/arms was long, black hair. In fact, I used to wrongly interpret several overworld sprites from this game. The youngsters have those white shirts that I used to see as long, white beards lmao I used to say CRAH-dill-ee like you, but I believe it's cray-DILL-ee. Oh. You looked it up. Glad I was right, hahaha. Cradily is one of those cool pokemon where many people just don't remember its type, which makes it sorta fun to use casually against friends. I'd love to know how loud you get when defeating a REALLY tough opponent in one of these challenges.

Coming back to this gem. Had in my to watch list for a long time. Live your vids Jrose!

I still can't get over how Brendan's mom made him ride in the back of the moving truck

Here's why it would have been easier to have done this challenge in Emerald instead of Ruby. Hear me out: starting from Emerald, some of the berries that previously do nothing but raise Contest stats were changed to reduce 10 EVs in a particular stat and increase Friendship (e.g. Pomeg berry = -10 HP EVs). After farming a handful of berries you could feed them to Feebas and then EV-train its Special Attack against the 70% Spinda and Speed against all the Zubats/Magikarp of Hoenn. Yes, I am aware than Seedot has only a 1% encounter rate in Emerald's Route 102 (as opposed to 20% in Ruby) and Emerald is overal a more difficult game than Ruby and Sapphire but that's much less time spent Splashing against defenseless Seedot than targetting 4% Ralts.

Yes! Your back!

Oh I’m excited that you’re starting a challenge series! I really like how in-depth you go into your strategies and line of thinking, as well as extra details. Your magikarp challenge is probably my favorite “challenge video” out there, and this was super fascinating to watch too! Definitely looking forward to future videos in this series! Good luck my dude.

Never before have I felt Jrose's pain so much. Not even in the Zubat run.
