landorus-t, funny intimidater, is replaced with another intimidating cat. and one of the the best incin answers is.... the other landorus. he always comes back

[@im_happily_sadd3730]

Landerous is NOT an answer to incineroar. If that were the case, WAY more teams would be using landerous-t. Landerous simply struggles being as useful and consistent as incin which is why he’s practically outclassed most of the time barring a generational gimmick (like dynamax or z-moves)

[@worldiefeard8396]

@@im_happily_sadd3730 you misunderstood what he meant. Landorus INCARNATE ("the other landorus") had a spike in usage before restricted, because of how well it did into the meta, including amongst the other things 1hkoing Incineroar without fearing Intimidate.

It can't be understated the stranglehold togekiss had on early gen 8 VGC. It was a mon that could genuinely do anything and everything you needed it to do for your team, and the opponent had to guess the set from closed team sheets. The amount of tech moves and specific EV spreads you could slap on it to surprise your opponent were wild not to even discount the dominance of the standard sets. (PS. Surprised Amoongus wasn't anywhere in this video. Probably the single most consistently important VGC mons of all time, since I can't think of a single format where it wasn't an incredibly important consideration in the teambuilder, but it probably doesn't have the peaks of others due to well defined counterplay like safety goggles and terrains and such)

Wolfe and that Flutter bit is so funny like when the GOAT uses it 3 different times in the "biggest tournament ever" in 3 unique ways, you know its a good mon

That's what I feel people don't understand when they say "everyone uses the same pokemon!" Yeah, they're using the same one, but not always in the same way Like take 10 Flutter Manes from the top spots, and it's likely like 6-7 of those have completely unique sets. There's a reason why these pokemon are used so much. Not just because they're strong, but because they're so malleable and capable of being on almost any style of team.

[@HowlingOneify]

@@sketchydude8431you’re not wrong regarding usage and different sets but people hate flutter less for its usage and more because it’s such a bullshit super centralizing Pokémon that upended the game for over a year.

The first meta of a gen tends to be better than later ones due to less powercreep and centralization so it makes sense. Except 2017 because of the tapus (and maybe 2011 due to the lack of options) but the others are solid.

Very interesting to see Togekiss running Super Luck instead of Serene Grace.

[@itztaytay2]

Most of the moves it used didn't have all that great of secondary effects. Flinching with Air Slash is nice but Dynamax mons are immune to flinches so it wasn't impactful in the most important dynamic. Dazzling Gleam was its most common offensive move and it doesn't benefit from Serene Grace at all whereas a 12.5/50% (depending on held item) crit chance can easily be game changing Edit: Also Serene Grace has no effect when Dynamaxed yourself since every secondary effect is 100% on max moves anyways, but Super Luck helps to score crits on them
