Pokémon FireRed - Final Battle (vs. Rival) (Rematch)

Set battle style No healing items More than 10 levels lower than opponent No starter Relies on strategy And rival name d*ck This is what is called a true pokemon battle video

Brilliant strategist. He used endure twice and was able to have his Heracross survive a hyper beam AND a Hydro pump. Also, using Rock Tomb to reduce Alakazams speed so that Heracross can one shot it. Finally notice he never used any healing items or revives the entire time despite the team being under leveled in comparison to the rival. True gold right here people.

People are calling this dude an idiot and bad at the game when he's using more strategy than most people would.

144p never looked so good.

Finally, a real man who doesn't use recovery items and plays Set, not Shift. And who also didn't grind to absurd levels. Really enjoyable battle.

The fight between Gyarados and Heracross was just epic

this was a true championship battle. fighting until only one pokemon was left standing to name a champion

You know, seeing this as an adult, it really hits me how emotionally abusive professor Oak was to his grandson. Gary did really well. Sure, he had a short reign as a champion, but he defeated the Elite Four. It's an incredible accomplishment and any decent parental figure would be proud. Instead, his grandfather strolls in, invalidates him AGAIN (after forgetting his name, favoring you etc for the entirety of the game) and praises only you. Supposedly Gary lost because he didn't love his pokemon, but we never actually saw that. He's the second strongest in the region, so if a bond between a trainer and their Pokemon is so important for strength, Gary must have amazing bonds with his Pokemon. He was never shown to mistreat them. Imagine your parents at graduation saying they're disappointed in you because the neighbor's kid made better grades. Now multiply that by a million. This is what Gary must have felt like here. It's easy to dislike Gary because of his arrogance to you, but the way he's treated by his grandfather is messed up.

That was fun to watch, not that many people actually put them selves at a disadvantage against the CPU, the fight actually felt like a final battle between two equals and was pretty tense, especially with how slow the hp bars go down in this game.

One of the few genuinely entertaining matches on YouTube; Most battles against blue are just a series of massive level and type advantages wiping out his Pokemon (I.e. What five year olds do!)

Let's check every Pokémon's performance in this battle: Scizor: defeated Heracross Kabutops: defeated Arcanine Heracross: defeated Tyranitar, Alakazam, Venusaur and almost defeated Gyarados (it's God itself) Kingdra: was defeated by Alakazam without even attacking Dugtrio: lowered Alakazam's speed Manectric: defeated Gyarados

a 2008 video of a ingame pokemon fire red match and it was entertaining lovely

This was actually lowkey exciting...wasn't sure what was gonna happen. Good on you adding the extra challenge to it

when u realize how old firered and leafgreen actually are.

damn your heracross was very fucking strong

the endure strat was smart

Probably the most real pokemon battle here in YT. Most vids either have hacked mons or overgrinded mons which is just plain boring to me

Now that's what you call a "rival's name"

Fun Fact: Endure + Reversal is indeed an actual viable set, most especially in Generation 3, Its usually combined with Liechi or Salac Berry depending on whether the pokemon needs speed or firepower.

What a brave little Heracross :'(
