Pokemon Stadium 2: Round 2, Challenge Cup, Master Ball, Final Battle *ItsMattsWorld*

Love this music =)

[mmmmmarcus]

I always hated how iron tail always missed in stadium 2

[epicdavid]

I hate it when you have a fair fight that you can probably win, but its going to take forever. Like your Steelix versus Jolteon. Once I was doing challenge cup and ended up with my azumarill against an enemy azumarill. (ten minutes of endless swift usage later....) Finally I win! (foe sends out wobbuffet.) Damn it not again...

@epicdavid

Oh, I SO know that! I had an Ivysaur with Leech Seed, Sweet Scent, Razor Leaf and Sludge Bomb against Wobbuffet. Had to wait for Leech Seed to drain him and use Sweet Scent the whole time because it was Round 2 and the computer cheats like crazy (any move I did would've been the correct Counter or Mirror Coat on his Wobbuffet).

Sigh... I fucking miss Challenge Cup.

絶対に負けられないバトル

[Mcheetah]

Challenge Cup pokemon usually always have:

One move that matches its type. May be powerful or weak.

A second move that matches it's other type, whether the Pokemon can naturally learn the move or not (which includes always getting a Forretress or Pinsir with Pin Missle or Fury Cutter).

A supportive Defensive or Status ailment move (Protect, Attract, Confuse Ray, Toxic, etc).

An utterly useless move (Rain Dance on a fire, Sunny Day on a water, etc).

Sometimes, you get combos.

[epicdavid]

@Mcheetah The challenge cup pokemon usually arent that bad, its actually the easiest cup with rentals only. The utterly useless moves you speak of can be used effectively by switching your pokemon around right. You could be fighting a water type with a normal type or something. You use sunny day to weaken its power and switch to a pokemon with solarbeam. Not useless anymore.

[Mcheetah]

@epicdavid

Yeah, I know that. But it's usually too much work or a risk to switch unless you absolutely have to. It's very rare in Challenge Cup to get a "perfect" pokemon with four useful, decent moves. But as long as you get a Pokemon with a powerful move that matches it's type that is accurate, you're usually good. (For example, a Jolteon with Thunderbolt, Tackle, Tail Whip, and Bite.)

[GiratinaPlatinum2008]

The strange is Jolteon being green but not shiny and Victrebell being gold leafs but not shiny too.Weird.

[kyette0]

the nicknames do that in Poke Stadium 1 and 2

[Clear1]

can't believe you saw a Mud-Slap Steelix and didn't reset.

This cup once gave me a Blissey with Egg Bomb, some fighting attack, Sunny Day and something useless, oh and holding a Berry no less.

anyways, glad to see some stadium 2 videos that is not from a emulator with that ugly white box around everything...

@Clear1

Typically, Challenge Cup tends to make things as evenly as possible (as long as you graduated Earl's Pokemon Academy.) Usually, a strong Pokemon with pathetically weak moves (like the very common Charizard with Ember) will tend to have near maxed out stats and vice versa for pokemon with powerful moves.

In reality, a Mud Slap Steelix would be lame, but in Challenge Cup, a Pokemon like that will have very high stats to compensate. But Blisseys are almost always lame...

[133tSneasel]

Wow! Iron Tail is horrible, it missed 3 times. And VIctreebel just happen to have Reflect

[MichaelKlump]

@133tSneasel

Any move with less than 95% Accuracy is usually pretty bad. Most of the time, the accuracies are, ironically, inaccurate. And they tend to be at least 20 points less than what they say, meaning a move like Rollout with "90% Accuracy" will tend to miss one out of four times and a move like Blizzard, with "70% Accuracy" will almost never hit. Iron Tail supposedly has 75% accuracy, so...

[SinisterHoodedFigure]

Steelix and gyarados coverage. nice

[AuroraBoredom]

This is so hard! I always get the incapable team no matter how many resets I do. :(

[MichaelKlump]

@AuroraBoredom

You give up too easily. I used to be addicted to Challenge Cup and would see how far I could get with the lamest Pokemon possible (like a Marill, a horribly weak Pokemon, with Water Gun, a horribly weak move) just for fun and refuse to use any halfway decent ones. I actually ended up beating it at least five times woth Pokemon, at first glance, I would be ashamed as a trainer to use.

[CHELITOXD900]

do you play super smash bros brawl

[ItsMattsWorld]

yes I do

[iwatson14]

[ItsMattsWorld]
