Pokémon Stadium - R-2 Pika Cup Speedrun

this games hard

my god that was quick!well done!

Do you have the Transfer Pak that enables you to put your own Pokemon into the game?

humm right now im in R-2 but ive notice that you guys can change your pokemon level but how?? im always using L15 and its very hard and its very annoying that the computer player has pokemon of L20 and me L15 so is kinda impossible to defeat them

Great vid btw :)

Hmm, I haven't seen it that way before.

I have analysis out there that shows why on a combined 50 cap, 20-15-15 just plain beats 19-16-15, and that 18-16-16 or 17-17-16 are even worse. If the Clefable is the key player on the team, leaving Lapras back at 15 would be advised so that Clefable can get every bit of "oomph" available to it. However, Lapras is probably more advisable in the 20 slot except for the fact that it's slow.

I think he may have only gotten clefable to lv 19 so he could also use the lv 16 lapras (Rather than having a 20 and two 15's. I Believe I have my Pika Cup Pokemon's Levels set at levels 16-18 to have stronger Pokemon while also staying under the 50 level add-up limit , I'm not sure about it, But thats what I think mine are at, Gotta fire up my old N64 and Gamepak one of these days.

What's the point of levelling to 19 without going to 20? Does Lapras really need to be levelled up if you're only going to bother to do it once? Unevolved Pikachu when you lose nothing in the Cup from evolving it, and gain some definite amount of durability?

Certainly there are better (higher Attack, higher Speed) Hyper Beam candidates than Clefable? Of course, given that this is Stadium and you lose Hyper Beam turns even on misses and kills, that move becomes a lot worse here.

i woned,with a special teamxP

good,try this with rentals;)

Starmie sure likes to dance in battle, lol, awesome battles, 5/5

I still can't seem to get past round one. Semifinal of PokeCup
Master ball and Giovani's Gym keeps kicking my butt

that bringsback memories

Lucky on exeggutor. I finished this with only rentals back in the days, but oh that was tough

I think hatching eggs is ok on this since several of the opponents pokemon can't be gotten naturally in the games...

ok.. hmm i didnt never compared starmie with nidoking just like use them as a team?.. i mean just in case u can use starmie then nidoking or so

Starmie's Special trumps Nidoking's Attack; its Special even more so. Furthermore, Starmie can get moves with excellent type coverage, all of which run off special, and best of all Starmie is fast and doesn't give up attacks to anywhere near as many Pokemon. There's really nothing Nidoking brings to this cup that isn't outclassed.

u should try this with a nidoking.. has more attack deals more damage he can do earthquake too

Pika Cup doesn't lend itself well to anything but hard hits--a level advantage as high as 33% further exemplifies the way hard hits are simply good strategy in this cup. With Starmie's ability to cover so many types, especially with the goal of this video being "speedrun", why wouldn't I use that type coverage?

all you do is play weakness, there's no talent/strategy here

i still haven't beaten the pika cup.

That's probably because you used your own Pokemon, which I'm assuming based on your team's move sets.

Well, I only used up one try.

I picked up the game on launch day and was deeply into it for about 7 months (until G/S were released), with only sporadic use since then.

When I played this I was better than all my other friends who played this, but I think you're better. How long have you played ?

No wait that was in Prime Cup, I just found that Mew can't be used in pika cup.
