I love silent mutual understandings online, just builds a sense of fun cooperation and humor
I thought everyone did that
Real talk, Steven winning a legit 1v3 was pretty bad ass
That's why he's the true Hoenn Champion
He the true champion after all
steven is my favorite champion just because of how he's just a guy who likes rocks who just happens to have a pretty crazy team and (except in emerald) be the champion
@@dashingclasheryeah Steven is my favorite champion. I respect Cynthia cuz she's like a post game player and she is solid, and Leon is an awesome guy that is genuinely an amazing person and it's impossible to not love him. But Steven. He isn't "special", he is a steel type specialist, he loves rocks (so do I), and he wanders around doing shit he likes. Oh and he's strong AF
Steven is a legend, i'm happy to share my name with him. Best champion for sure!
I'm guessing that Spinda kept using Teeter Dance because the game still thinks you have 2 pokemon out, and so it registers it as 1 pokemon on your field that isn't confused yet.
Similarly to why some Pokémon kept using ground moves when there was only a flying type on the field… whatever that “empty” slot is, apparently the game doesn’t see it as being immune to ground
@@snuffysam it might've been on the VOD comments that people suggested it was the classic invisible shiny bulbasaur?
@@altariamotives3158 I think it is more likely to be a ?????????? whose texture got removed/replaced by a blank texture
@@skyeplaysgames4598 yeah, iirc that has the same (albeit hidden) features as a lv0 shiny bulbasaur
No that specific spinda is bugged and try’s to reapply confusion on confused pokemon. It’s actually really annoying for speed runners.
Smant desperately trying to take out Steven's team as the latter proceeds to win the entire battle is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

I was looking for this comment.
ok
ruby or sapphire would have destroyed smant, steven 1v2 champion battle would be actually insane
"The whiteout counter is never going up" (not 2 minutes later) *the counter goes up by one* *SmallAnt refuses to elaborate*
at least he finished with 69 whiteouts [nice]
I'm sure it was Rival. Because that Wurmple was the first double battle, which means either he lost to Rival... or a single minor NPC.

@@spoof2062 don’t give him idea
All hail Atsign
Just you wait until the Ruby worst luck video
Pokemon Crystal, but I have received a bullet wound and must beat the game before I bleed to death
"Why am I so under leveled?" I feel like it's a recurring issue in Ants runs but it always seems like he avoids trainer fights and too readily suicides his team and they don't get XP from that. But it does make him the even bigger underdog and that makes it more exciting
Ive noticed that too, he's way to chill with his pokemon fainting, I think it's slipping his mind that they don't get experience when they're fainted
Whenever I fight trainers (usually the gym leaders) and a Pokémon I want to level dies, I always try to go for a revive while using a higher leveled Pokémon to take the hit. It’s good to try to at least keep them alive if you have xp share, because grinding wild Pokémon battles takes forever for farming xp. If Ant weren’t so lax about faints, he wouldn’t have been so underleveled for all of these gym fights and would’ve had an easier time
He should just use rare candies and play with level caps. Like most challengers do.
@Conquest no chat only said no items in battle items outside of battle were never excluded (unless something saying that in the vod was cut out of the video)
@Conquest they also said he couldn’t use the rayquaza :(
11:54 "We'll take the confusion." 12:00 after hurting himself twice due to confusion "Wait, What? How am I on such low health?"

You say "every way" but clearly you ain't winning awards for that _delightful_ personality of yours.
@Bia Tch Me going through my brain to find when I asked
7:40 I love how everyone in chat is shouting slugma balls for the start of the fight
Imagine this but in Gen 5 with Triple Battles... this is already pretty damn hard with 1v2, so that would be insane!
Well, 90% of the trainers in Gen 5 only run one Pokemon, and another 9% only have two. There's only a small handful of trainers that actually have three Pokemon, and only half a dozen who have more than three.
@@Celestia282 that seems made up
@@RRRR-jr1gp The percentages, probably. But I think during the base game only the rivals, Elite 4, and the two final bosses have 4 or more pokemon.
@@Celestia282 the last time i saw ant modding genV, he did it on blaze black 2 and volt white 2, where the trainers are rebalanced
I'll do you one better, rotation battles!
People always tend to forget that Tentacruel is weirdly fast. Base 100 Speed. Overall, Tentacruel is a fast, strong special wall. A VERY good pokemon.
Yeah I feel like Tentacruel and Crobat occupy a similar space where people are so annoyed by constantly seeing tentacool/zubat in water/caves that they don’t give them the time of day bc they’re so common and seen as a nuisance, so they get underestimated when they are actually very strong mons
Love tentacruel and crobat in nuzlockes
@@keghan4824 crobat cool tho, and has good usage for it's stats
Yeah, Tentacruel occupies something of a similar role to Crobat. They're both weirdly good evolved forms of really common Pokémon. At the end of the day, being rare is meaningless.
ok
"He doesn't have any dark moves, but now he looks cool." Lord, that had me rolling with laughter. 😂😂😂😂
These challenges are always great to watch. Seeing Ant’s strategizing in full effect, beating difficult battles while handicapping himself further is peak content.
Get a crit get a crit GET A CRIT
Yep I agree
Did you know that in Gen 3 if you press start in a double battle you can swap between the HP bar and the actual HP numbers so you don't have to go into the Pokémon list to check their HP 😁
Damn thats cool
I did not! Thank you muchly.
Wow. After all these years.
seriously?? I feel.. actually stupid now LOL
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist3 yes
Watching SmallAnt go from confident of a win to whiteout and then mumbling a google search for a new move is incredibly funny to me
Yeah that shit was hilarious. Exactly what I do lmao
Keeping spinda alive was crazy

Nice
Its nice !
STOP TEETER DANCING
i like it
Keeping spinda alive was crazy. The +6 confusion selfhit on linoone was deciding in gym 5!
I've always wanted to see a mod that has each trainer send out all of their Pokemon at once, so at late-game its 6v6 every time. it'd be pure chaos
That can't happen, as Pokemon has no mechanics for battles larger than 3v3 onfield.
@@Telogor 1v5 is possible in gen 6 because of horde encounters
"he doesn't have any dark moves but now he looks cool." also, i'm really curious about that second glitch pokemon you've got there. it took damage from spread moves (magnitude, perish), was able to affect enemy ai (claydol earthquaking skarm and spinda spamming teeter), and could be selected by random target moves (assist). yet it only seems to be an issue sometimes - i wonder if atsign could talk about that bc i think it'd be really cool
I think claydols earthquake didnt freeze the game because it didnt hit smant's pokemon

The moral of this story: Wobbuffet is the best pokemon in the game.
Smant. The quick claw destiny bond could have still worked even though they left banana alive, because you can then use a move that’s guaranteed to go last, keeping the previous destiny bond active through another attack
Smant winning by 1v2'ing every enemy but gigichad steven casually winning a 3v1
The one he kept mentioning is Earthquake, which isn't one of those moves.
@Rvve Duio i did not know this. Neat
Spread moves that target only opponents deal half damage in generation III, so allowing this in the mod would not have be broken at all.
I think the real reason for this change is so that the opponents spread moves only target smallant, and not the invisible level 0 pokemon beside him. Just a limitation of the mod I suppose.
The best challenge runner on the internet. Change my mind Ant: already doing a crazy challenge Ant: why don't I give chat the opportunity to make my life harder Ant: "should we be able to use items in battle" Ant: "alright, we will not be using items in battle"
I like how Smallant just goes into these challenges without looking too far ahead into the enemies teams moves and team
Damn dude, Steven straight CARRIED in that 1v3 Mossdeep fight despite all of Ant's attempts to sabotage him haha! Great video!
This is such a cool concept! It's really interesting to see how you overcome double battles with one pokemon, something only a BEEG BRAIN can do!

Smant: Steven cant win a 1vs3 Steven: *Observe*
How about a run where you basically play as an NPC? The game randomly selects an NPC for you to control in battles. Or even better, you can only use Pokemon that a specific NPC would... like Bug Catcher... or Mountaineer
This was such a great concept Smant. Thank you

Yo, the editing on this was hilarious, with ant losing at gym 7 and then cutting to "where to find ___ gen 3" twice in a row

I love you as always Ant, but the "steel is my favorite type" got my like this video
This would make an amazing nuzlocke
So basically every battle is like a double battle with npc trainers as your partner,an unfair 1v2 where your "partner" spam a healing move at full hp
Basically every battle is a 1v2.
wdym Steven carried the team Magma double battle
Technically no, it is not like having an NPC trainer partner that "spams healing moves at full HP". If that was the case, any opponent that uses a move like Surf on him would always deal half damage. This is a specific mechanic that was added with the implementation of Double Battles / Multi-Battles in Gen 3, though this damage reduction won't apply to moves like Earthquake (likely to make such moves a bit less desirable, as you may end up KOing your own side with a full power attack). This was changed in Gen 4, where any move that can hit multiple targets, regardless of if it can hit your ally or not, does 25% less damage if it targets more than one Pokemon (thus, applying to moves like Earthquake). Also, moves like Outrage would occasionally "do nothing", as it would target the useless partner instead of him. Edit: Actually, seeing as they for some reason changed Surf to not be spread. Maybe that spread comment is worth ignoring, as I imagine they did similarly with all of them. Edit2: Never mind. I guess they actually did make it so you have an invisible partner that just does nothing. Otherwise Magnitude and Perish Song wouldn't occasionally shatter reality.

Thanks for the quality content as usual Smant :D.

He rarely uploads compared to how often he streams, and it's really annoying when you don't watch Twitch at all.

This man's content is my hangover cure. Keep up the good work mate.
I love these Pokémon videos, they’re just so good
Can someone explain to me why Perish Song crashed the game one time but didn't the other times please? Did Atsign come up and fixed the game between the 2 tries?
19:07 “skull. stop. hitting yourself” me to myself for some years now
Really happy with how this challenge turned out, forcing you to build a full team without it being outright impossible beyond some insane minmaxing like others. Challenging without being too unfair (with the added bonus of an awesome party)!
SmallAnt wakes up one morning and thinks “how can I torture myself today?”
Smallant has the perfect amount of game knowledge for these types of challenges. He knows tons and tons and tons about the games mechanics but doesn't go into the super sweaty metagaming stuff the hardcore nuzlocke community does. It's a nice balance and I like it

Why didn't perish song crash his game at his second time against the swablu gym?
His nonexistent partner has a speed of 0 so all other Pokémon on the field died first, and since the nonexistent Pokémon didn’t get die the game didn’t crash
@@mythicalterapin9674 Except it did crash the first time (so the speed theory seems incorrect as it outsped something that time somehow, or speed is irrelevant), while second time it seemed to not even be targeted.

The wild Zigzagoon doesn't have a friend. Aww.
Ant: *"Camerupt flinched! Stupid!"* 1 second later: *'Skull flinched!'* 😂😂
I really like these challenges Smant does to make the game harder and more interesting. But I think it would be cool to see more of the unusual pokemon in battle / forcing smallant to use PokéMon he'd usually not use. An idea for a challenge I have is to try to complete Emerald where u can only use a pokemon once (each PokéMon can only be used to fight one opponent PokéMon), with your level capped at the opponent's highest level. That way u have to save better PokèMon for the harder opponents. Perhaps, if there are too many compulsory battles then he could do 'only allowed to battle twice', etc... Basically, a challenge that forces him to use unusual ones like say Natu or Feebas would be interesting. (for Magikarp etc, he may have to battle an opponent above a certain level in order for him to win). Anyway, keep up the content SmallAnt
A similar way of doing this might to let chat/other KZheadrs pick his team for each major battle (gym leaders, evil team admins etc.) and once that Pokemon has been used it can't be again (perhaps even if you lose the battle. Though I'd allow Rare Candies so the grind doesn't get boring to watch). Chat might be super helpful and give him a really strong Pokemon or screw him over with a bunch of first stage bug types and a Magikarp. XD
This is probably the opposite of the cahllenges he does. Literally. Just go and comment this on any other pokemon challenge KZheadr, there are enough out there.
@@cptKamina The essence of the challenge that the OP proposing is to limit what Pokemon he can use. I can see Smallant doing a challenge like that even if not in the way the OP suggested.
Smant: Claydol and Cradily are missing one tiny aspect of what makes them amazing tanks with decent damage? Useless Also Smant: Replaces them with Wobbuffet and Shedinja
Dunno if I'd call missing a health recovery move or a set up move tiny aspects, those are both pretty important for making stall mons viable without items.
@@cowsanonymous just because there stall doesn't mean it's necessary, they both have things they have they can use to make them useful
@@erniehines claydol has good type coverage with its STAB moves but I wouldn't call it a tank without recover given that the latter half of emerald is chalk full of amazing water types and a dark type E4 member. It needs both to be a good tank. I don't think cradilily offers much, tbh. I think ingrain is pretty mid without leftovers recov on top of that.
@@cowsanonymous Cradily has more than enough bulk without a setup move thanks to Ingrain, it’s natural bulk, and its good defensive typing, while Claydol is a naturally bulky Pokémon with decent damage and would’ve been particularly useful at the psychic gym, where it resists all of their attacks bar Solar Beam, and can learn Solar Beam for itself as well as Shadow Ball, both TM that are available before even Lilycove City.
@@Solanne11 Decent damage?? shadow ball is a physical move better given to other teammates and cradily learns no STAB offensive move other than ancientpower, which isn't even special in this gen. Ingrain is also honestly pretty awful because of how it locks you in. It has a special attack stat of 71, which is pretty mediocre at best, making solarbeam pretty mid. Shedninja with toxic is the strongest stall mon in singleplayer pokemon. Ant made a good call.
