Pokémon Stadium's Weird Battle Mechanics (Pokémon: Generation 1 - Episode 47) 

This is true! This is actually what the footage I used in this video is from because it was easier to find in higher quality, haha

Also true! I don't know how I didn't mention this. Hyper Beam is overall just a lot more punishing and not worth using in Stadium over moves like Double Edge.

@@WinternetLP Yes, also Double Edge ain't too hot either since it's only 100 base power, use Body Slam.

I'd argue there's no reason not to use both on a Pokémon like Tauros. Double Edge's recoil is ignored when it breaks a Subsitute or knocks out an opponent, so that bit of extra power can make a difference!

@@WinternetLP true! haha

Thank you!

You spend an hour using Tackle and Splash nearly 80 times in a game with unskippable battle animations and try to do quick math, then get back to me

You're right! I didn't think of that. I tried a few options and ended up with Magikarp.
