Dragon Pokemon have had their ups and downs over the years, but today we show just how powerful they are in our hardest challenge to date.

The awesome Ms.Sweethart helped with workshopping as always!

Update: Currently, the community has helped correct that I did extend gen 7's run with my incorrect conclusion, luckily the mon does not change at the moment! Should save around 30 minutes of the top of my head though! Read the next comment for further details (didn't want to spoil it 🤣).

Thanks for watching everyone! As you might be able to tell, this video was a huge endeavor and I really gave myself a new challenge here in terms of complexity and design. I would love to hear what you think and take that forward as I work on some new projects and of course more pokemon challenges! ;D

Regarding the Noibat in Ultra Sun and Moon, couldn't you just catch a Noibat in Verdant cavern after the totem Gumshoos/Raticate?

[Color_Splsh]

I went into this video thinking it'd just be an explanation of the earliest a dragon type can be caught in a casual run, I didn't expect this speedrun format at all.

4:20 Well, now I know how I was able to get three jackpots in a row while waiting for my flight twenty years ago.

[patonosequecosa]

I still can't believe gen 7 gives you a level 7 Salamence at the start of the game

[Sencilia]

Good ol' cliff skipping. I reckon a good challenge will be to see how fast it is to catch a Magnemite in each game since I'm pretty sure they're in every game like Psyduck.

[mazubahtender]

I will say, in ScarVio, you can catch an Applin in South Province Area 1, however the odds of finding one are astronomically low, at least in my experience, especially since you have to spot it hanging in a bloody tree. And it tiny.

[FafliXx]

About the Trapinch daycare, wouldn't you also shave off some time while hunting the rare candies? If you catch it before going to get Surf and collect candies, you would still gain exp while doing all of those things, right? Or did you already calculate those in and I just missed it?

[theRealSlimGordon]

Dear God that Gen 2 game corner part was absurd, you were right about that lol.

Anyway, nice video as always. This went about as I expected... Dragon types can be a doozie.

[feiradragon]

If the spinoffs were included, PMD Gates to Infinity would hands down be the fastest game to get a dragon in. Axew is a starter there.

[Grey_Warden_Invasion]

It wasn't until this video that I learned that this particular slot machine in the gen 2 games can actually be unoccupied. I must have played through those games over 40 times but apparently I never went to the casino early enough to witness this NPC being gone.

[transientreality]

Hoping that watching this while playing Crystal will manifest a win in the Bug Catching Contest. Need a Sun Stone 🤞

[Jeracross]

You can sell the Charcoal in Azalea for 4900 which should save a bit of time

[MidoriNatsume]

I never knew how much you could optimise the loot in Red/Blue to get a Dratini.
I came for a filler video while i was waiting the pasta to boil, but it was actually very useful, thank you! 💪🏻

[Xanegoh]

It's honestly hilarious that I keep forgetting Baxcalibur is the Paldean regional dragon type. The mon is sadly not that memorable.

[jvever]

You're an absolute madlad for trying this, I guessed the final times would be long and wasn't surprised.

[jamesmayo]

In gen 8, God forbid Goomy get some love! Don't you disrespect our little gooey dragon.

[PlasmaCraft]

You can get noibat verdant cavern. So you just made the run longer

[kavaler]

oh yeah this series kicks ass i’m watching the hell outta this

[beneastman]

Great video! Rather than a scroll of the results, I'd love to see a bar graph comparing all of the final times.
