As kids, we all wanted to be Pokemon Masters, but … little did we know how much math and endless battling that would entail!
HUGE HUGE HUGE shoutout to my friend Phiotan for taking care of all the visual elements of this video! She’s awesome! 😀
Lyrics:
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
It got harder than I guessed
With all these complex training laws
I will travel across one town
Hatching a thousand eggs
For that perfect Bagon
I’ve been hatching eggs for days
Pokemon! Grinding to the max!
(For my perfect team)
Please have thirty-one IVs
Pokemon!
Oh, this never ends
Why don’t they have Adamant?
Pokemon! Grinding to the max!
(So much to do)
Which items should I use?
There’s berries, or attack boosts
Pokemon! Grinding to the max,
Grinding to the max!
Every challenge along the way
With more training I will face
I’ll keep fighting everyday
With my Bagon’s Macho Brace
Come with me, it’s battle time!
My perfect strategy!
Just to be defeated by
Someone else’s sweeper team
Pokemon! Grinding to the max!
(For my perfect team)
Five hundred and ten EVs
Pokemon!
Oh, this never ends
Time to kill Zubats again
Pokemon! Grinding to the max!
(So much to do)
Which moveset should I use?
A stat-raising or STAB move?
Pokemon! Grinding to the max!
Grinding to the max!
So if I want to max out my Bagon’s speed, I have to get 252 EVs for it. When I max out my speed, each stat point is 4 EVs so 252 divided by 4 is uh … I can’t do math … 63 speed points! Now I add that to my base speed which for Bagon is 50. He has an Adamant nature which means I don’t get a speed boost. I thiiiink he has 31 IVs in speed though but I need to find the equation to see how much that adds to his speed stat and AHHH WHY IS THERE SO MUCH MATH IN BEING A POKEMON MASTER
Pokemon! Grinding to the max!
(For my perfect team)
Salamence is amazing
Pokemon!
Oh, there’s still five more
Pokemon to train for
Pokemon! Grinding to the max!
(So much to do)
My time could be better used,
It’s tedious but somehow fun too
Pokemon! Grinding to the max!
Grinding to the max!
Pokemon!
