Poor Moltres. I'm not an expert by any means, but I think pressure and flame body really do determine the ceiling for this thing. You said it, as soon as the Talonflame mirror came out with a superior ability, coach pretty much subbed him out instantly. I guess pressure could be somewhat helpful in certain slug fests, but is pretty much outclassed by any other ability in the competitive scene. Flame body is definitely a bit more useful but still is only a mild deterrent at best. These abilities just don't impact the game enough to give it a proper niche like Uno has with cloak and bright powder, or bulky static support Dos messing with speed tiers and para's. Great job on the video! Looking forward to seeing the worlds greatest Pokemon trainer in action!

Very nice Professor Weeb! I'm genuinely curious about the history of Moltres. Of the trio, that's the one I've played around with the least. Also.... Day 1 of requesting to be schooled on the Slowpoke evolution line!

@Sabert04 ай бұрын
Yes Rico, kaboom. Was brought here after thinking about using explosion Metagross in Reg F, wish it was still 500-ish base power. Still, even now in doubles vgc with non stab and spread, it acts like a single target 125 base power stab move, which is crazy. If normal type was better offensively I’d use it for sure.

Crazy that something that comes up so often in Smogon's OU/UU Ladder in every generation was only good in a few formats in doubles, where it's a spread move.
@WeebHistoryVGC4 ай бұрын
Oh yeah, they're very different formats. I think one of the small, but important, differences between Smogon singles and VGC is that the cost of losing 1 of your Pokemon with a single move is too high at the highest level of play in VGC (it's bring 6, pick 4). It would be like giving up 2 mons in Smogon singles on a gamble that you MIGHT knock-out/damage 2 mons on the other team. Plus protect is the most used move in VGC so it's a really, really big gamble.
