Short video, so Rhyhorn must be amazing, right? 

exactly what I did

Literally pulled over at a coffee shop because I couldn't wait to get home to watch it.

Same lol

More or less same, though in this case I have to wait an hour before I have time to watch it :(

same

New Team Rocket inspirational poster. "Your Boss Giovanni! He's nearly impossible to beat with a Weedle!"

​@@wadespencer3623 he costs 5 bucks on cameo maybe

Having done a Weedle run, I feel confident in saying that "Can Stop Weedle" isn't a good justification for calling a trainer a checkpoint :p

Watch fallout documentaries lol

That's because he beats the whole game....😮

Agreed

I love ... JRose Fixed your comment, there.

I love his videos answers questions I've had or never would have had, plus its pretty cool to see how long each pokemon takes to beat the champion

That's a very neat proverb!

Maybe I'm stupid, but that seems incorrect... If you're tasked with (A) and you do (B) first, you are delaying (A) even if it helps you complete it faster overall. Am I just stupid? 😂

​@@KeiranTrickgo and cut a pile of wood with a dull axe...I think you'll get it

@@KeiranTrick If (A) is impossible to complete without doing (B), then you'll waste time skipping (B) and trying to complete (A) and failing because (B) wasn't completed. Then you go back and do (B) anyway, and end up spending more time than you would have if you just did (B) at the beginning.

​@@KeiranTrick That's the trouble with proverbs. They say things faster than full explanations do, but they require you to infer the correct interpretation of the fewer words they use, which is also why they sometimes sound poetic; counterintuitiveness is one of the most used poetic devices. Ie. “The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long” -normally you expect something that looks more vivacious to last longer. In this case, the intuitive understanding would be yours: you can more quickly get to the cutting of wood if you don't sharpen your axe first, however if you measure the cutting of the wood from the completion of the task rather than the beginning, the sharpening of the axe nets you a net time save. The semantic reason the correct interpretation is counterintuitive in this case is that 'delay' has a vague object; 'the cutting of the wood' is an activity, not a moving thing/animal/person, so the delay could really be measured from any point of the activity, however the proverb starts off with the observer in the pre-state of both 'sharpening of the axe' and 'cutting of the wood', so our intuitive understanding of 'delay' is that it applies to a series of events that happen after each other, not a single activity. "I did this and then this and then this, and then this happened." -This could be viewed as a series of events or a single activity: the events don't have a distinct time dimension, while the activity consists of events that provide the time dimension. At the end of the proverb, it asks the interpreter to interpret 'delay' with the observer in the post-state of both actions and also to interpret them as two different permutations of one activity: 'the cutting of the wood without sharpening the axe first' and 'the cutting of the wood with a prior sharpening of the axe'. I hope this made sense. I use 'event' and 'activity' in a pretty specific sense here. It's how we use them in semantics, and they are a bit abstracted from their usual sense; like, of course, events take time, but the way we describe them with our language makes them seem like nouns even though they should be verbs, and nouns are archetypically objects, people, animals, and other things that we normally characterise by their spatial dimensions rather than their temporal ones. It would be weird to answer "what is a cheetah?" with "8 to 10 years presuming a survived infancy", but that is basically the inverse of what we do when we describe actions as events. I suspect that the reason we do this is a result of a brain capacity-saving move. Events are simpler to process than activities because they are less complex.

Lmao yeah. He was definitely getting haxed

It looked like it was destined to make next Move a Crit via Seed Data. If he had left the Gym and battled a wild pokemon, it would have cleared it out of the cache.

Makes it past staryu … crit …

He eventually got a noncrit though@@frankwargoiv7335

This happens because, in the damage calculation, the level influences multiplicatively, but its multiplied by 2 and divided by 5. Since all divisions are rounded down, that means that levels ending on 0, 3, 5 and 8 make a jump in the function so it increases the damage. For example: 10: 10x2 = 20, 20/5 = 4 11: 11x2 = 22, 22/5 = 4.4, rounded down to 4 12: 12x2 = 24, 24/5 = 4.8, rounded down to 4 13: 13x2 = 26, 26/5 = 5.2, rounded down to 5 (damage increases) 14: 14x2 = 28, 28/5 = 5.6, rounded down to 5 15: 15x2 = 30, 30/5 = 6 (damage increases again) Etc...

​@@erik19borgniathis is awesome

​@@erik19borgnia That's honestly super interesting! I'd love for Jrose to put that in for the next time he might get stuck at Brock. Assuming he does see this, of course >w>

I thought he had already mentioned this in a previous video but I could be off with that. There are a lot of weird mechanics so they don't all get mentioned in every video. I also could have heard it somewhere else tho. Keep up the good comments in any case, folks

@@somuchnope2 That's Scott's Thought. He mentions it in almost all his videos.

Though, sand attack is on the *first* pokemon, so it is a quicker reset...

there is no guarantee that the rival will use sand attack, but hydro pump will always be used because it is super effective.

djinn :)

Sand Attack failing is 25%, and there's a chance that it's not used at all, so it's a lot less luck

Alright but consider this: Giovanni as gym 8 abuses an...interesting mechanic, where OHKO moves are affected by X Accuracy, which allows them to bypass accuracy checks. His Dugtrio knows fissure.

@@ssjbread2803ok

​​@@ssjbread2803 Only Rhydon knows Fissure in Red, Blue, Green. It's only in Yellow where Dugtrio knows Fissure. :) He also only has a Guard Spec for each Pokémon. So you must be thinking of a mod or romhack you played that buffed Giovannis AI

@@ssjbread2803 In addition nolongeraperson, high speed does not bypass accuracy accuracy checks for OHKO moves. At least in RGB, Y might be different. If the user has lower speed than the target it's a guarantee miss. If the user has higher speed, it then proceeds as a regular attack, with accuracy check.

@@rightwingsafetysquad9872 I see. Well, that can be fixed with x accuracy, which makes your OHKOs a sure-hit move.

It's hilarious.

Absol: BROTHER

Ice Beam was occasionally used in competitive battles with Rhydon for getting random freezes.

@@SimonFrackBlizzard too.

Over halfway!

Only 78?? I started watching in late 2020 and I thought I was late to the game!

I tend to use a Geodude/Graveler as my physical tank, so when I get to the Safari Zone, it's just a straight replace my Graveler for a Rhyhorn. Then teach him Earthquake, and you're off to the races!

I used one in pokemon crystal legacy recently. The only thing that could beat red's snorlax

Rhydon is a staple of the Gen 1 Over Used meta. He annihilates electric types like Jolteon and Zapdos.

@@Spanishdog17 Pretty much this. Golem's only niche over it is Explosion. It also helps that it has the strongest physical move with no real drawbacks in STAB Earthquake and hits hard in general. Just sucks that in a Gen 1 playthrough they're obtained so late in the game.

Oh man that was amazing. Probably not for him or AJ tho

151, and it could be that a few of the earlier ones might be repeated to compensate for the massive expertise gained by doing all these challenges! This game is basically an endless source of content.

​​@@BigSlimyBlob152! Jrose already did a Missingno video :-)

​@@BigSlimyBlobNot all of those Pokemon are doable. It's impossible with Caterpie, Metapod, Kakuna, and Magikarp, and Magikarp was already done.

@@robertlunderwood I suppose, if you discount those that cannot do the challenge, it does add up to 147! I know some guy did Beedle (after thousands of attempts).

@@BigSlimyBlob nobody's done Weedle without items. it would statistically take many lifetimes of attempts on Agatha. if you're referring to a German RU-vidr who supposedly did it, he hides the beginning of the battle where he definitely used X Attacks because Weedle does a lot more damage than it's supposed to.

He's going to restart the whole list as his methods refined so much

at the very end it was so obvious that if he'd battled even a few less trainers, Rhyhorn could not have won. I think this is a situation where the route was as good as it was going to be, maybe aside from beating Surge and getting Fly a bit earlier for convenience.

Yeah, I imagine this would have been a nightmare if this was one of the first runs JRose did.

Sure

I was watching an old Jrose video.... lol

Same thing happened to me

Guilty as charged. XD

Fun fact...Rhydon was the first Pokemon designed.

Nah I think most millennials who remember Gen 1like me hate what they did with Magmortar, Rhyperior, Electivire etc Never been impressed with their designs.

the Ryhorn line is cool, but underatted :(

Rhyperior became my favorite Pokemon when I battled a friend who used a Rhyperior I raised up for him. It was a neck and neck battle, I started losing, brought down to only my Mega Blastoise, who did WORK on the remainder of my friends team, leaving only said Rhyperior. We both just looked at each other like "Bro, it's over. I win." But no, the beast tanks my attack with only 1/4 of it's health missing, the countering Earthquake ending the match. We were both so convinced it was a bug or glitch or something, we spent the rest of the day working out the math of the attacks. Rhyperior really is that beastly to take a Mega-Launcher boosted, 4x effective attack and not even blink.

Ok, now that’s absurd. I’ve come to learn how much of a beast Rhyperior is. I’m currently using it in a mod of Platinum, and it is putting in work, especially when pairing it with a Drought summoner. Hits like an absolute truck, tanks physical hits like a champ, and can handle some special hits. It just barely handled stuff like Alakazam Focus Blast and Pelipper Hydro Pump while being underleveled

I've said this for some time. He says that it's not fair to the pokemon since it's rng..but that also goes to the positive rng too. The real time should be there to show who the true champions are.
