Randomized Pokémon Black 2 2 Hour Challenge

This page explains how Patterrz's run went during his Randomized Pokémon Black 2 2 Hour Challenge run.

For more Pokémon Randomized 2 Hour Challenge runs like this, please see Pokémon Randomized 2 Hour Challenge Runs for a list of all of his runs, or the category page.

### The Beginning - The start of the run

Upon starting the game, Patterrz had to skip through quite a bit of story. However, unlike the 1st game, Hugh (the rival) can be named, & was named TIME, the usual rival name for these challenges.

Upon starting the run, Pat had three starters to choose from: Crustle, Forretress & Foongus. Pat ended up choosing the female level 5 Crustle.

Since no member had claimed Crustle at the time, the chosen female Crustle was named **Tea**.

Pat had to fight against his rival, TIME, who chose the male level 5 Forretress. Pat's Crustle had Shell Smash, Rock Blast, Withdraw & Sand-Attack.

Unfortunately, after using Shell Smash, TIME's Forretress used Bug Bite & it ended up halving **Tea**'s HP from 22 to 12!

Pat then found out the hard way that **Tea**'s attacks didn't do much thanks to Steel Type's resistance to Rock. TIME's Forretess then used a Tackle on **Tea**, taking her down to 9 HP.

Then the Forretress used Protect, stalling out **Tea**'s Rock Blast PP.

**Tea**'s Rock Blast then hit 3 times, leaving TIME's Forretress on red HP.

Regardless of the struggle, Pat won the 1st battle against TIME after **Tea** lands one more Rock Blast.

On Route 20, the 1st trainer Pat faced had a Quagsire with Water Gun, which would've been bad for **Tea**, if it had not screwed itself over with its own ability, which turned out to be Drought. The battle ended up being easier than Pat thought & didn't even notice it.

The 2nd battle was against a trainer's Timburr with Moody, & the 3rd battle (which could've been avoided) was against a level 4 Claydol. Ironically, all these Pokémon resist Rock Type moves.

### Vs. Rival TIME 2

Against TIME for the 2nd time, TIME's Forretress was now level 8, the same level that **Tea** was currently at.

Pat got **Tea** to use Shell Smash, & noticed **Tea** only had 3 Rock Blasts left, & TIME's Forretress used a Tackle.

After **Tea** used another Shell Smash however, the battle was cut short, as TIME's Forretress tried to kamikaze Tea by using Self Destruct in order to force Pat to black out.

However, it didn't work out in TIME's favour, as Tea lived at 2 HP, giving Pat an easy victory despite being heavily disadvantaged.

### On the way to the 1st Gym

After following a Team Plasma Grunt attempting to kidnap a Herdier for some reason, the Grunt panicked & threw a randomized TM at Pat, which turned out to be Wood Hammer. Pat taught it to **Tea**.

A random battle against a trainer's top% Rattata with Trace revealed **Tea**'s ability as Natural Cure.

### 1st Gym (vs. Cheren)

Inside the gym, the 1st trainer sent out a Nidoqueen. **Tea** used Shell Smash & then went for Wood Hammer. Unfortunately, the Nidoqueen had Iron Barbs as an abilty, which did a LOT of damage to **Tea** alongside of the recoil damage from Wood Hammer. Then the Nidoqueen used Double Kick.

This left Tea in a very weakened state. Luckily, **Tea** managed to beat the trainer's Nidoqueen, & then beat their Gloom without too much trouble.

After this, **Tea** learned Faint Attack over Sand-Attack.

After healing up, Pat challenged the 2nd trainer, who had a level 9 male Cradily, which kept spamming Growl on him.

It then went for Peck, & all that time, **Tea** kept missing Rock Blast.

As soon as **Tea** finally landed Rock Blast, it did loads of damage, as it turned out to not be a Cradily, but a Swellow with Illusion (Zoroark's Ability).

When the real Cradily came out, **Tea** had no trouble taking it out.

Against Cheren, Tea had to face against a Sharpedo, & hadn't healed previously. Wood Hammer instantly took out Cheren's Sharpedo, but the recoil damage took **Tea** down to low HP. Cheren sent out a Croagunk. However, Rock Blast didn't take it out.

After living at 9 HP, **Tea** was able to finish it off...only to get *fainted* by Croagunk's ability Aftermath, causing him to lose & blackout instead of getting the 1st gym badge like he planned...

Pat learned from his mistake, & once again challenged the gym & was able to beat Cheren by having **Tea** have enough leftover HP to live Croagunk's Aftermath, by using Rock Blast on the Sharpedo instead of Wood Hammer.

After using a triple hit Rock Blast & a Wood Hammer on the Croagunk to take it out, **Tea** survived the Croagunk's Aftermath, & Pat won the battle & ended up getting the 1st gym badge.

## 2nd Gym (vs. Roxie)

Pat fought against more easily dispatched trainers (& refused to teach **Tea** the move Smack Down).

Pat finally arrived at the next city & got lost. After finally finding the gym, he went inside of the gym & challenged the drum player who had a surprisingly weak Dragonite & a Kingler, & then challenged the guitar player, who had a Hitmontop & a Swinub.

After going back to heal, Pat then challenged Roxie, who started off with a female level 16 Spheal.

**Tea** went for a Shell Smash, & the Spheal went for a Water Gun, which took 20 HP from **Tea**.

Luckily, two hits from Rock Blast (the 2nd one being a critical hit) took out the Spheal, & Roxie then sent out her level 18 Illumise. After taking a Quick Attack, a single hit from **Tea**'s Rock Blast took it out, earning Pat the 2nd Gym Badge.

### Pokéstar Studios

Pat was soon forced to watch the Pokéstar Studios upon beating the 1st gym & watched Riolu Man die.

The same man then dragged Pat against his will to the boss, & then was forced to shoot a film. Pat chose Rental Pokémon, & then had to fight Brycen Man. After winning, Pat published the film, & fled before they could force him into show business.

### On the way to the 3rd Gym

Pat encountered Team Plasma & beat up a grunt's Mandibuzz by having **Tea** use Rock Blast, which hit 3 times, taking it out.

Team Plasma were unfortunately able to get away, however by shoving Pat out of the way.

Pat was then given the dreaded HM01, Cut.

Pat challenged another Plasma Grunt, who sent out a Cubchoo, which **Tea** destroyed.

Pat was able to skip a battle with twin girls thanks to only having one Pokémon.

Pat, **Tea** & TIME then got a boat to Castelia City. Upon getting there, they meet Iris, champion of the Unova region.

They then go down to Castelia's sewers & encounter a wild Yanmega & Magmar, which Pat decided to beat up, allowing the viewers to see TIME's 2nd Pokémon, a Chimchar.

Pat & TIME then encounter more Plasma Grunts, who send out a Barboach & a Banette. Pat then gets the dreaded HM04 Strength.

Pat then reaches the next gym...

### 3rd Gym (vs. Burgh)

The gym ended up being filled with almost everyone's worst nightmare; spiders & clowns!

After easily beating up some clowns wrapped up in creepy spider webs, **Tea** learns Bug Bite over Faint Attack.

Pat eventually came face to face with Burgh, who sent out his level 22 Virizion, & used Leer on **Tea**, who then used Shell Smash. Burgh's Virizion then used Magical Leaf on **Tea**, taking her down to 38 HP.

**Tea** finished off the Virizion with Bug Bite. Burgh then sent out a level 22 Electrode, which then used Charge Beam, getting a high roll in damage against **Tea**, & got a Special Attack boost from landing it.

**Tea** then used Rock Blast & only got two hits on the Electrode, forcing Pat to use a Fresh Water on **Tea** to heal her up. **Tea** dodged the Charge Beam from Electrode *TWICE*, & then finished off the Electrode using Bug Bite.

Hilariously, Pat ended up celebrating, thinking he got the 3rd Gym Badge, but was quickly interrupted by Burgh sending in his male level 24 Kricketune.

**Tea** missed a Rock Blast & then Kricketune commited vampirism by usinh Leech Life, sucking 9 HP from her (EW!).

After using Rock Blast, **Tea** took out the Kricketune, winning Pat the 3rd Gym Badge.

### Vs. Colress

Pat encountered Colress & he attacked Pat, sending out a level 21 Keldeo.

The Keldeo used Bubble Beam on **Tea**, doing loads of damage. **Tea** then used Shell Smash.

**Tea** then took out the Keldeo using a single Wood Hammer, but because she took a lot of recoil damage from using Wood Hammer, she fainted from the recoil & Pat blacked out, costing him the battle.

On the rematch, Pat & **Tea** were able to beat the Keldeo using the same strategy...but Colress then sent out his male level 23 Carracosta with Aqua Jet & Ancient Power. Pat healed up **Tea** with a Fresh Water.

Carracosta went for Aqua Jet & took **Tea** from 72 HP (full HP) to 20 HP, due to being Super Effective.

After healing up **Tea** once again with yet another Fresh Water, Pat learned the hard way that Colress' Carracosta was very strong; Ancient Power did loads of damage to her, taking her down from full HP to 22 HP, which put Pat in a bad spot.

Luckily, after spamming some heaing items, Pat was able to get **Tea** to land a Wood Hammer, which took out the Carracosta, & **Tea** had enough HP to take the recoil damage. After beating Colress, he gave Pat a Protean & left him be.

### On the way to the 4th Gym

Pat met some green/blue haired people in a building & gave himself the catchphrase "POG KEKW" & the nickname "GAMERNINJA" in order for them to leave him be. He arrived in Nimbasa City, the same place where N attempted to hit on his previous incarnation.

Inside the old Electric Gym, Pat came across a trainer who had a level 24 Jynx, which could've frozen **Tea** with Ice Punch. Luckily, it did'nt get the freeze, & after a Bug Bite, the Jynx went down.

However, Pat shortly ran into a trainer much more dangerous; she had a female level 24 Lapras, which was able to dodge **Tea**'s Rock Blast, use Body Slam, get a critical hit & paralysed **Tea**.

The Lapras then used Ice Shard, & **Tea** was paralysed. Then the Lapras set up Rain Dance, & Rock Blast only landed two times, plus the Lapras was very bulky. After another Body Slam from the Lapras, **Tea** managed to land Rock Blast & took it out.

### 4th Gym (vs. Elesa)

Pat had a lot of trouble against the trainers inside Elesa's Gym:

The 1st trainer had a Ninjask which immeditately used Double Team. **Tea** miraculously still landed a Rock Blast on it. The same trainer also had a Regirock, which luckily did NOT use Explosion, but it did tank **Tea**'s Rock Blasts quite well. After this, **Tea** learned Rock Slide over Rock Blast.

The 2nd trainer had a Croagunk, which is randomized to have Aftermath in this speedrun. Then she had a Mespirit. BOTH of these lived on low HP!

Then the 3rd trainer had a Mandibuzz, which proceeds to use Flatter on **Tea**, confusing her, & she hit herself 1st turn! Luckily, she snapped out of it rather quickly & was able to land Rock Slide. Then the 3rd trainer sent out a Tirtouga...which proceeded to use Aqua Jet...

Pat obviously went back & healed up **Tea** before he decided to take on Elesa.

Elesa sent out a male level 28 Infernape. **Tea** had to Shell Smash, while the Infernape used Flame Wheel. Lucikly, it didn't manage to burn **Tea**.

**Tea** was able to outspeed thanks to Shell Smash, & then was able to take out the Infernape with a critical hit Rock Slide.

Elesa then sent out a male level 30 Arcanine, which **Tea** took out with a Rock Slide, this time, it wasn't a critical hit, but it was enough to K.O it.

Finally, Elesa sent out a female 28 Ledian, which not only insulted Pat (one of his favourite Pokémon followed by one of his least favourite Pokémon), but **Tea** was able to OH-KO it with a 4x Super Effective Rock Slide, winning Pat the 4th Gym Badge.

Shortly after winning the 4th badge however, Pat ended up accidently pulling his microphone off of the pole, & he had no choice but to pause the timer & the challenge until he could reattach it back onto the pole, alongside of funny music (Pokémon trick house music).

### On the way to the 5th Gym

Pat ran into some trouble along the way, as Pat needed to face Charles, a mandatory trainer in a rotation battle to progress. Sadly, Charles wouldn't let him pass unless he had three Pokémon on his team, & Pat only had **Tea**, his trusty Crustle.

He then caught a male level 20 Spearow in the hidden grotto, which was easy to catch, as it stayed in the Great Ball, & then found a female level 21 Karrablast, which didn't stay in the Great Ball, & Pat had to have his newly caught Spearow help him weaken it to catch it. It finally stayed in a Pokéball.

The game then had the nerve to then mock Pat by having his next encounter be a Ledian.

After healing, Pat then accidently got into a double battle against two blonde ladies, who had a Ledyba & a Slowking, both level 24 & both female.

**Tea** used Bug Bite on the Slowking, but it lived at 1 HP. The Unnamed Spearow used Arial Ace on the Ledyba, & despite being 4 levels below the Ledyba, it still took it out in one hit.

The Slowking then used Headbutt on the Unnamed Spearow, but that caused the Slowking to take recoil damage & faint, as Pat's Spearow turned out to actually have Rough Skin.

Charles himself was NO problem, as **Tea** easily dispatched Charles' Unown, Blitzle & Prinplup with Rock Slide. The Unnamed Spearow then evolved into a Fearow, but since this battle, the Unnamed Fearow did not get to be in another battle again.

Pat then encountered Team Neo Plasma & a sage gave him N's "Zorua", which had randomized into a Vaporeon. After this, TIME once again becomes obsessed with finding his sister's missing "cat/Purloin" & runs away.

### 5th Gym (vs. Clay)

Pat had to fight a mandatory trainer & **Tea** was almost taken out by his Timburr thanks to Moody, Wake Up Slap & recoil damage from Wood Hammer. But **Tea** was still able to then take out the trainer's Timbur, Horsea & Gliscor.

Pat struggled with the gym's conveyor belt puzzle & soon got himself into another battle, this time against a trainer's Solrock...with Slow Start...

**Tea** lived at 4 HP from Rock Slide, & Tea took out the Spinda with a Bug Bite.

Against Clay, **Tea** had to face Clay's 1st Pokémon, a Chinchou. Unfortunately, it landed a Bubble Beam, but **Tea** tanked the hit & took out the Chinchou with Wood Hammer. Clay sent out his male level 31 Persian & **Tea** had no trouble taking it out.

**Tea** finally took out Clay's last Pokémon, a Hitmontop, winning Pat his 5th Gym Badge.

Pat didn't have a lot of remaining time, & decided to attempt to spawn a random shiny. However, his attempt failed as he only encountered a normal, bog-standard non-shiny Staravia.

Pat did end his run with 5 Gym Badges in total, making this his best speedrun so far, with his Heart Gold speedrun coming in at a close 2nd.

## Close calls

* During the 2nd battle against Rival TIME, Pat not only had only 3 PP left on **Tea**'s Rock Blast, but TIME actually attempted kamikaze by having his Forretress (level 8 at the time) use Self Destruct to force Pat to blackout. It didn't work however & hilarity ensues. **See the Clip**
* The 1st trainer in Cheren's Gym (1st Gym) had a Nidoqueen...with Iron Barbs as an ability...AND Double Kick. Needless to say, it left **Tea** in a weakened state after using Wood Hammer. It was just lucky how Tea was able to beat their Gloom. **See the Clip**
* Pat learned the hard way just how strong Colress' Carracosta was; its Ancient Power took down **Tea**'s HP from 72 (Full HP) to 22 HP! If Pat hadn't had found a pattern in Colress' AI & didn't have any healing items, he would have lost continuously to him. **See the Clip**
* A trainer inside the old Electric Gym had a Lapras which was not only able to dodge **Tea**'s Rock Blast, but got a critical hit Body Slam & it paralysed her, too! Then **Tea** got paralysed on the turn following that! After this, **Tea** was able to beat the Lapras. **See the Clip**
* Almost EVERY. SINGLE. TRAINER. in Elesa's Gym pretty much trolled both **Tea** & Pat...but Pat still prevailed. **See the Clip**
* Pat ends up accidently fighting twins in a double battle before reaching Charles. **See the Clip**
* In Clay's Gym (5th Gym), a trainer's Timburr nearly takes out **Tea** with Moody & Wake Up Slap. **See the Clip**

## Fails

* Cheren's 2nd Pokémon, a male level 13 Croagunk caused **Tea** to faint after he used Wood Hammer on it, because the Croagunk had the ability **Aftermath**, which caused Pat to blackout, denying him the 1st Gym Badge when he was just about to *win*. **See the Clip**
* Pat lost on the 1st Colress battle due to **Tea** taking recoil damage from using Wood Hammer on his level 21 Keldeo. **See the Clip**

## Trivia

* Pat actually forgot that Pokémon Black 2/White 2 existed, & ended up skipping their speedrun for Pokémon X. So Pokémon Black 2's speedrun was completed *after* his Pokémon X speedrun.
* Interestingly, the silhouettes of the starters were the actual Pokémon that were randomized, & not the Unova Starters (Tepig, Oshawatt & Snivy). This usually does not happen, & ends up just showing the silhouettes of the Unova Starters. However, here they have the same palette as the Unova starters & are visibly glitched.
* Pat accidently pulled off his microphone from its pole during the stream & had to be fixed for around 5 minutes. **Here's the Clip** for the full experience.
