    piplup being hype as fuck is just what i needed to see today
  • @FlamieDoc
    There are two types of people who play Pokemon Smallant: Spends hours grinding, analysing and making the best strategies to complete the challenge And then there's Alpharad "It can't happen a 2nd time right?"
  • @starkiller9597
    4:45 " Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was an Olympian athlete and like an athlete we turn to performance enhancing drugs" Wise words
  • @switch-e1769
    "I'm gonna beat Starly with hammers" Who knew that would be the basis of the design of Tinkaton a year later.
  • Can we take a moment to talk about Aaron's strategy? This guy's whole gimmick is to gamble it all on crits and not only does he risk it for the crits, lore wise he got to be one of the members of the Elite Four so he made it to the big leagues using crits. Guy's a baller.

    Mudkip Only: "Don't do drugs, kids." Piplup Only: d r u g s
  • Found out that the Abra battle doesn't have to be a doubles battle, you can talk to them individually and fight them separately
  • @NintendoNerd64
    alpha: “ok so this garchomp can do anything, they can do swords dance and eat a berry that reduces my damage, and i can deal damage that turn and be safe but i probably won’t live the next turn, so..” Piplup: “I got a crit dad are you proud of me?”
  • @BHZZRD
    Fun fact, in the diamond and pearl manga, the main character had a piplup that he didn’t know had an everstone. So he crushed all the gyms and the piplup gained so many levels it became sick and almost died because it couldn’t evolve.
  • @harubutjojo
    Piplup vs literally anyone: "He's never fought me." Everyone: "Yeah he has." Piplup: "He's never fought me twice!"
  • @sunny-xc8fb
    I am so glad that him and Jaden became friends it is honestly hilarious to see their interactions together and they honestly just vibe with each other so well
  • @derpickle7768
    “ I trekked on and did the exact same battle again, in the exact same way with the exact same expectations but just hoping something would change.” literal definition of insanity
  • @apuppet6174
    And now Piplup must take on an entirely new challenge, one in which he would've never expected to face. Rehab.
  • @Patterrz
    Piplup is the 2nd strongest penguin in the Multiverse (just below Pingu)
  • My favourite moment in this video is when Alpha pops off with Lyn from rivals of Aether
  • @greysoncarr
    I love how every few minutes, we get a, “What?” Just to accurately sum up this run.
  • @ZpectreWasTaken
    Jacob: “it hasn’t even felt too different then a normal run” Stands next to the couple that gives you Jirachi and Mew for free
  • @Spearmint_fresh
    I barely beat crasher wake with only a staravia at 10 HP. This is a good life lesson: if Alpharad beat the elite four with a solo piplup, I’m sure I could beat the elite four as well at this point. So In other words, never give up. This right here is a beautiful life lesson. Congratulations, @Alpharad. You’ve earned that sweet victory. Edit: also it was the toughest thing I ever seen when you beat Cynthia with just a small penguin. If you beat BDSP with only piplup, what’s next? Scarlet and violet with a solo Quaxly perhaps?
