What are your thoughts on Pokemon Ultra Moon as a Pokemon game?
-
I love that friendship is a part of the speedrun Aggressively being nice to your Pokemon is vital for efficiency
-
For those who are curious, the zorua reached level 27 after beating ultra necrozma
-
The Illusion ability is SUCH an AI breaker.... it's kinda funny how easily you can turn the AI into a total idiot simply by accounting for your team composition.
-
Going to be honest, trainers should have ALWAYS had effort values. Especially major story battles like trial captains. It took way too long into the series for it to happen.
-
Unironically did the Illusion trick by accident in my first playthrough because I picked up a Zoroark. Laughed my ass through that fight.
-
I did not think baby doll eyes would ever be used in a speedrun
-
My guess to the Necrozma situation is that they never gave it a check for if the move failed or not, so Ultra Necrozma just ends up assuming the at the move "missed" or was blocked by something like protect and tries again to annihilate the fighting type it sees in front of it with a move that otherwise would be super effective
-
The trick in the end reminds me of how one could completely lock gen 1's enemy pkmn into buffing themselves. They would always use a move of at type that is super effective against your pkmn, and they didn't check whether the move would inflict damage or not. So anything with "Amnesia", but no ground or psychic moves would keep spamming the move against poison types.
-
The fact that you don't cover the E4 or Hau here just tells me Hawlucha demolishes everyone easily lmao
-
I can’t believe that a random viewer changed the speedrun Route forever.
-
This is how i accidentally beat it on my playthrough with no damage i had zoroark in front and vaporeon in the back, it kept using photon geyser
-
Might b a hot take but i really liked the Ultra Wormhole segment, i didnt mind the motion controls and it made it really fun to hunt for legendaries in the post game imo I can 100% see how it’s aggravating as sin in a speedrun tho 😬
-
You are ultra necrozma. Your light consumes entire universes. A bird throws some pocket sand at you and then just stands there while you blast it with the radiance of the sun.
-
That Zorua strat is actually insane, one of the coolest I've seen
-
Okay I have heard about the strategy of using a Zoroark in normal playthroughs but the fact that it's a level 6 Zorua is what makes it
-
My favorite thing about ultra necrozma is all the unique ways people cheese it. They way I beat it on my first playthrough was a quick claw on a Malamar to topsy-turvy it’s stats and make it useless.
-
I struggled through Ultra Necrozma because I thought it was far too late to raise a Zorua but I guess I could have just taught it Toxic lmao
-
Gosh, I knew that Zorua was going to be instrumental given its interactions with Ultra Necrozma but I was not ready for it to stay at level 6 and Toxic stall lmao
-
Of all the crazy shit in this speedrun I still think the wildest part is that friendship grinding is part of the route
