Can I Beat Pokemon Gold with ONLY DELIBIRD? 🔴 Pokemon Challenges ► NO ITEMS IN BATTLE

Next challenge is up, Pokemon Red with only One Machop!► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEUsN_KlDy8

"His flamethrower missed then I missed then his flamethrower missed again then I crit fly. Someone's going to have to do the math on that." The odds of missing a 100% accuracy move after 1 accuracy drop is 25% so there is a 6.25% chance of it missing 2/2. Add on the 5% chance of fly missing and you have a 0.3125% chance. The odds that the next fly hit is 95% times the odds that it crit which is 6.25% you get 5.937% and if you add that on to the previously discussed odds of 0.3125% you get a 0.018553125% chance of all that happening. The odds of finding a shiny is around 0.01235788% so slightly more rare. Thank you for listening to my ted talk about how to use a calculator.

20+ Years and I have only just now realized "Delibird" is a pun on the word "Delivered" ...Someone gave birth to me.

I like to imagine Delibird sticking his hand in a mud puddle and slapping the hell out of mortys ghosts.

Imagine conquering an entire region, caught the most powerful Pokemon ever existed, becomed champion and spent three years in a mountain to train only to be defeated by a kid with a non flying christmas bird thing

Suggestion: Do a run with only HM Boys. Gotta keep the HMs in them.

If you're feeling masochistic, emerald with one slugma could be interesting. 4x weak to the element that's everywhere in the second half of the game

I was curious about the present glitch and how bad it is, so I made a spreadsheet to calculate damage against any given type, and compare it to how much it should do if calculated normally. Just a quick note based on your assessment of the Pidgey fight at the start, present does more damage to the types at the bottom of the type list, since they fill in the value for your level in the damage formula. Your own level and attack are ignored, as is your targets defense, turning present into an almost sonicboom like move during the early game, doing the most damage to dark types and the least damage to Normal (excluding rock and steel, each of these types actually double resist present due to the glitch, don't even try it). Here are the results for the key fights in your run, using rough estimates for stats of Delibird and opposing pokemon when comparing it to the glitched damage. Present vs. Lvl 7 Pidgey - Glitch increases damage by ~60% Present vs. Lvl 9 Pidgeotto - Glitch increases damage by ~85% Present vs. Lvl 4 Geodude - Glitch does not change damage dealt significantly. Delibird is just bad, Geodude resists it and has decent defense despite level gap. Present vs. Lvl 16 Scyther - Glitch increases damage by ~20% Present vs. Lvl 16 Quilava - Glitch increases damage by ~200% (no wonder it one shot. In the next fight against Lvl 32 Quilava the glitch wouldn't have helped at all any more) Present vs. Lvl 14 Zubat - Glitch decreases damage by ~40% (explains why it was harder than Quilava) Present vs. Lvl 30 Magnemite - Glitch decreases damage by ~50% (Headbutt would have done more than a 120bp present) I also ran calculations on some Pokemon you fought later on after removing present, such as Kingdra which would have taken more than double damage due to having dragon as its secondary type. Even then, since it can be so inconsistent it's probably easier to use fly. Present vs. Lvl 41 Slowbro - Glitch increases damage by ~120% Fly is probably optimal here instead, but if the Slowbro had a particularly low HP stat a lucky 120bp present would actually one shot. Present vs. Lvl 42 Umbreon - Glitch increases damage by ~140% Same as with Slowbro, except it's more likely Present could one shot.

9:37 : “First up is Ice trainer Will “. Me : Apparently Will is now Lorelei.

You always do weak pokemon with okay coverage, how about a strong Pokemon with a debilitating weakness. Can you beat Pokemon Platinum with only a Regigigas

Miltank one hit from death, Present heals it, then it uses milk drink. MDB thinks over his life choices.

MDB almost every Saturday: "I'm not sure I'm doing for next week's Pokemon Challenge..." Me: Patiently waiting for Smeargle only challenge

Proffesor Elm: You want DELIBIRD? That's a Great Pokémon! Me: Is he alright?

If there isn’t a “Santa’s Delibird” Reference in here I’ll be very disappointed

"Third time's the charm" they say so here we go again: Pokemon Platinum with only one Shieldon

"Dark Trainer Karen" Always gets me. I can only imagine her wanting to see your manager after she loses.

You know since it's summer time why not treat us to a cold and refreshing pokemon challenge run. Pokemon White or black run while only using vanillite

Oh my god I'm pretty sure Deliberd only has present in the early game IIRC so the start is going to be hilarious

“Ice trainer will” Psychic type: “Am I a joke to you”

Someone's going to have to write down the math on that on the comments section? Ok, then. Mud Slap and Flamethrower have 100 base accuracy, but Fly has a base accuracy of 95 instead so it'll miss 1 out of 20 times on average. Mud Slap drops accuracy by one stage 100% of the time. An accuracy drop of one stage will mean a multiplier to accuracy of 0.75, so those flamethrowers have one chance in four to miss. And a critical hit in Gen II has a chance of 6.25%, so 1 in 16. So if we put all that together... 1/4 (first flamethrower) x 1/20 (first fly missing) x 1/4 (second flamethrower) x 19/20 (second fly hitting) x 1/16 (critical hit) = 19/102400 = 0.01855468% So, better than the 1/8192 or 0.01220703% chance of finding a shiny normally, but lower than your chances of getting a shiny through the Masuda method. So it was indeed very lucky. Congratulations! Edit: I forgot to take into account the second Fly's accuracy. It should be correct now.
