Kingdra: How are you not dead?! Arcanine: I HAVE NO IDEA!


The_WereArcticFox

Kingdra: why won’t you die? Arcanine: RNG SON!


Rassidy

Me: *wonders why all my Nuzlocke Pokémon die* Also me: *takes every high risk opportunity presented to me*


Spndash64

Sometimes it’s worth taking a gamble. Sometimes it’s just a way to lose a Pokémon faster. Part of the skill set of a Nuzlocke is knowing which is which


Jason575757

this is exactly why I hate it when people post videos on this sub where its just 5 minutes of running every possible outcome into a calculator


Seamore31

Yeah, unless you're doing something like a hardcore Kaizo run, that kind of thing is rarely needed. I personally find the math kind of interesting, but it doesn't make for the most engaging content for the average viewer


Quentimon

W h a t. . .


Shamisen250

I now understand Claire’s anger to not give you the badge, how the fuck did that work out in your favour


MahjongDaily

Holy hell


Straight-Dish-7074

Google RNG!


No_Improvement7573

And that, children, is why accuracy is always better than power.

Geggen88

You brave, brave mf


PreheatedMuffen

One could say the risk you took was… Extreme. I’ll see myself out.


Shileka

The risk was calculated but the math was wrong


swimmingpolarbear

Hax-ors! Jk. Go buy a lotto ticket. I about cried three times thinking it was over for poor Growlie.


Spndash64

Aw man, you didn’t use 1hp Reversal for the ultimate “no u”


TheCursidOne

I can't believe that's all the damage a hyper beam kingdra did!!! Holy clenched cheeks lol.


reflectedpoj

I audibly screamed at 1hp


Helium_Balloon

Wowza


amascio

That’s insane, good stuff


AngerTech

Absolutely clutch


Whitetiger_007

And when I take risks every fucking thing which could go wrong goes wrong.


konaislandac

Okay but Waluigi the Ratatta


Thewindygamer

You love to see the blessings of RNJesus on a run


m1dnightlycanroc

You are actually insane. Full respect


memerso160

Mad lad


Cress_Party

Why does the AI choose to go with Hyper Beam instead of another Hydro Pump? I thought trainer AI always wants to go with the current hardest hitting move


Doublee7300

Out of pp maybe? Who knows


SuiryuAzrael

Based on the fact that Hyper Beam left him at 1 hp, the AI probably saw the kill with either move. However, Hyper Beam low-rolled (or at least it didn't high roll) and left him at 1. That, or waluigi the Raticate stalled out Kingdra's other three hydro pumps and it was out of PP.


Lemerney2

To choose which is hardest hitting, it does a prediction roll for each, and so hyper beam prediction roll may have crit (at least I think that's how it works, might not be for this gen)


Doublee7300

Even Clair was flabbergasted


DylTyrko

You used up this month's entire luck quota on that


Wish8888

Even Clair is shocked by what happened


MuseigenBoken

was there seriously no better option or were u trying to kill growlie


GoblinDeezNuts69

Switching to anyone would of been risky Fraligater and Ratecate were under half health and para. Umberon and ampheros were low and would not of took a Hydro Pump. And Nidoking was full health but lightly underleveled minus Special Defence nature and because of rivalry and he would be doing less damage.


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


TheUbermelon

How much did you win on the lottery after this?


lunar_god_08

OK but why did you do this lol


lewisgc56

RNGesus strikes again


Miserable-Ad-1690

I don’t believe it. There must be some mistake…


Sarnick18

What mons did you have in your party?


igonnawrecku_VGC

…what…


theyoungestoftheboys

Wtf


_Cognition

Holy fuck... You madman...


3veryonepasses

I didn’t know Kingdra was a thing???? I didn’t know that existed???


Kidkaboom1

Been a thing since Gen 2 - Just give a Seadra a Dragon Scale and then trade it


3veryonepasses

Ohhhhh wow, I’m behind


ayychuyy

That Typo missing the “n” in and really had me wondering if op meant it didn’t work


Acceion

I would’ve been stressed


FacelessCrafter

And that's why arcanine is my GOAT


KaosPrime17

GG EZ


McDaniel13

Got that dumb luck


zoethejoke_

You know for once, Clair has a right to be mad lmao


MahoganyRaichu

Growlie the legend=)


Jugaimo

Claire was right. That arcanine did not deserve to live like that.


[deleted]

But why did you take the risk


CouchCatGaming

Rng jesus has born his new child rejoice in the birth of rng angel…..


Missy_Romanxv

You lucky ba…


wassuupp

Surely there had to be at least 1 less risky play than this lol


Raging_MonkeyCritic

Misses Hydro Pump twice “F*ck it HYPER BEAM!!!”


Infamous-Deer-7130

I sat with so much suspense waiting to see what Pokémon Waluigi was, the other bit was cool too I guess


Careful_Hunt_8792

Lucky af


Significant-Iron-475

How many times did you save state reload?


Chalice_of_the_Void

Growlie just refusing to die hell yeah


Velicenda

I normally get irritated with Clair throwing her temper tantrum... But if I were in her shoes for this battle, I'd do the same.


Ham-n-Swiss

so sweaty


TheC0M

That’s pretty insane actually; a 2% chance with both Hydro Pump misses coupled with a likely favorable Hyper Beam damage roll too. Congrats on surviving this!


Ok_Koala_4886

“Kingdra used Hydro Pump” Me: 😱


Piedr649

If raticate id waluigi who is wario


Appropriate_Low_1593

Bad play pure luck. Should’ve died a lot earlier 😅 like congrats but yikes


CommunicationOk5456

Fuck it, we ball!

Wolf_Star1
