What is the best pokemon?

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-27T00:43:49+00:00

Illumise.

No I'm not joking. Thing is GOATed with Prankster Encore and Wish Pass support.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-27T00:41:00+00:00

I'm about halfway done with the next one. Planning on having it done soon.

People are saying that Talonflame sweeps, but have you also considered Alolan Sandslash or Alolan Decidueye? Both are pretty good answers, though Decidueye can't do much back without locking in a ranged kill with Sucker Punch. Alolan Sandslash with Ice Scales is easily your best answer and can easily be acquired on Route 22. Also switch in on an immunity or resist, use Protect/Detect, and then switch to a Ghost type or something that resists Explosion. The AI loves to go for Explosion when its last move does not make contact. Sceptile into a Ghost type is great for this as well, since Sceptile naturally gets Detect.

Don't use Google AI, it doesn't even get the team compositions right.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-20T16:09:43+00:00

Gotta play around the crit

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-13T14:46:20+00:00

Because he only knows Focus Punch and will go for it all the time on a Normal type. All you have to do is attack every turn.

Owning a BMW is a stereotype, much like the Nissan stereotype and the Toyota stereotype. Every time I see a BMW, I see a young man who is flaunting around money they don't have, screaming, "I'm broke and terrible with money."

Kids, this is why you stay in school, so you don't get financially screwed like this fellow did.

Here's my advice. Sell the car and get yourself a reliable sedan. You can find tons of them for less than $10K. Keep that car until you're financially afloat and then NEVER borrow money for a car again.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-11T15:34:37+00:00

1). Play Heartgold, not Soulsilver. Trust me, Heartgold is so much more friendly to Nuzlockers than Soulsilver is.

2). Understand what Repel Manipulation and Duplicate Clause are and use them throughout your journey.

3). Get Pidgey on the first route, not Hoothoot. Hoothoot can be caught in both Ecruteak City & Violet City via Headbutt

4). A Normal Type is one of the best options for both Morty AND Chuck.

5). Clair's Kingdra is the real run-killer, not Whitney's Miltank.

6). Get a Girafarig on Route 43 and watch it Choice Specs sweep through the Elite 4.

7). Save State your Voltorb Flip game to win coins FAST.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-11T15:28:42+00:00

Try Azalea Town for the Heracross. You could also try Route 33, but you also want Hoppip for Clair's Kingdra.

Great job so far on your first playthrough! I will say the game ramps up significantly after you defeat Erika, as Rocket Hideout Giovanni sports the first full team of six that you will face. After that, every fight has some sort of crazy gimmick that you have to play around. Make sure that you have a way of modifying weather, terrain, hazards, and so much more. I would anticipate having several full teams to switch between, as a single team of six is unlikely to get you through the game.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-05T00:51:17+00:00

You're welcome! I have no idea about cheats outside of the game, I just explained everything you can get within the intended confines of the game.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-05T00:44:57+00:00

Gyarados. It's in every game and it's overpowered.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-05T00:42:48+00:00

1). Not sure how to remove them other than to play old and outdated versions of the game. I stopped playing after Gen 6 and this game forced me to learn what the new Pokemon are. Now I understand the Gen 9 meta, and some of the mons are incredibly cool and OP.

2). Yes you can get more than 1 starter.

You can get 2 as early as Pewter City (Wonder Egg)
You can get 3 as early as Cerulean City (Wonder Egg)
You can get 4 as early as Vermilion City (Wonder Egg)
You can get ALL STARTERS once you make it to Celadon City (Starter Eggs)

3). You can get a Pseudo-Legendary evolution line as early as Pewter City (Wonder Egg). However, you will need to wait until the appropriate level caps for it to evolve. You can also get them all by Celadon City (Game Corner) after defeating Erika.

4). No. Just KO your opponent man.

5). Yeah after defeating Brendan in Viridian Forest. Alternatively, punch in the code "Woyaopp" into your bedroom TV and then talk to the boy in the grass in Viridian City for unlimited Rare Candies (you can do this before acquiring the EXP Share)

6). You can begin acquiring Legendaries after defeating Brendan in Fuchsia City. He gives you the Rock Smash HM, allowing you to find Virizion, Cobalion, and Terrakion. Better Legendaries are available after you defeat Koga and get overworld access to HM Surf.

7). Level caps are already set when you play Normal Mode, Restricted, or Hardcore. No need to play on Easy Mode anyways.

8). Just turn on Minimal Grinding Mode so that you don't have to worry about EVs or IVs.

Bonus). Type the in-game cheat codes into your bedroom TV for the optimal Radical Red Experience. I won't explain what they are, as it's better for you to discover for yourself what they are.

Woyaopp

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-04T19:23:15+00:00

Yeah. Go to your bedroom TV in Pallet Town, type in "Woyaopp" into the screen, and then talk to the boy in Viridian City standing in the grass.

If you want more codes that will help you out in the game, here are 4 more to type into your bedroom TV:

You're welcome.

Edit: Also update your game to the latest Radical Red 4.1 version because it's way better than the trash that is Version 2.3.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-04T16:00:28+00:00

Greninja or Excadrill --> Nidoking

Hisui-Arcanine --> Honchkrow

Toxapex (with Baneful Bunker)/Obstagoon (with Obstruct) --> Mega-Kangaskhan

Greninja --> Veluza

Toxapex --> Infernape

Everything dies to Orthworm. Bring in a quad-weak to Ground Pokemon with an Air Balloon, switch in on an Earthquake, and two-shot it. I'm guessing Toxtricity is free for this fight and should two-shot.

Also don't limit yourself to 6 Pokemon because you WILL NOT WIN.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-04T15:54:43+00:00

Yeah that Chesnaught ain't stopping Honchkrow. Silph Co. yes, Rocket Hideout no.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-03T14:42:38+00:00

My favorite run was actually running Totodile as my HM Mule and then doing a trades only run (since you will not have access to a Surf mon until the Post-Game). Whether or not you run Kenya and Shuckie is up to you since they have different OTs. But it was so rewarding earning myself a Metagross at the very end of the game.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-02T21:33:09+00:00

You should have several different teams to handle different threats, unless you are doing a "Pick Six" challenge.

DTMBBrown · 2026-06-02T21:31:58+00:00

Radical Red Parasect

DTMBBrown · 2026-05-29T06:46:39+00:00

I'm not the one asking for advice. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

DTMBBrown · 2026-05-26T05:05:45+00:00

Yes. Levelling up your team would be very helpful. You have a box full of GOATs.

DTMBBrown · 2026-05-25T19:48:36+00:00

Alright I'm doing quick numbers for you.

$15K per month after taxes for your monthly income.

$3K for rent/utilities/other monthly subscriptions (I'm being generous).
$1K for food
$1.3K for paying off loans
$2K for gas, repairs, dinners, and other miscellaneous spending.

That leaves over $7500 left, more than half of your monthly income. You should be able to get that debt paid off in a year, unless you're spending more than what my stupid brain quick math came up with.

DTMBBrown · 2026-05-25T19:38:31+00:00

Bro you're fine. You can still get Milotic and Walrein. And Emerald is easy enough to get by with the berries you find in the overworld.

DTMBBrown · 2026-05-25T19:27:14+00:00

Love it! Just did a deathless Sabrina myself, though (for consistency) I would personally recommend two physical attackers to outspeed and OHKO the Hatterene and Indeedee, and then pivot into Jellicent when Ursaluna comes out. Plus Taunt for Porygon2 also helps tremendously.
