@@tezminator I mean yeah. They're not identical though and tbh it's a question of if the defensive typing and slightly better snowballing ability (activating if ANYONE goes down, not just if you take the KO) are better than the usually better stats, broken signature move and bonus shutdown of berries. In SV specifically I'd say no, particularly just because Terra lets Calyrex just become a better type to mitigate one of its biggest weaknesses. But in other formats depending on the gimmicks in play I could see a case to be made for Magearna being comparable.

With everything you mentioned about Slow Start, olus the lack of recover or anything ok on Gigas, AND Body Press being reduced too, I think Gigas is probably the most consistently nerfed mon despite already having the worst ability in the game.

In a w2 nuzlocke I did once, I was in a really bad spot against Iris-my arcanine was damaged and alomomola was my only option to fight Iris' lapras, which kept spamming sing while it died to my toxic. It eventually fell, but sing landed on its last turn rendering my Alomomola alseep-but, I had been using wish to keep it healthy! Arcanine came come back in on Druddigon, healed back to full with the Wish, killed the dragon and then did enough damage to archeops to put it in defeatist and allow Alomomola to come back in and wake up. Wish unironically saved my nuzlocke, by accident.

Wish is one of the most... Pokemon-ie of moves ever. It really highlights the importance of Switching itself, which is one of the best integration of ludonarrative features in the entire franchise. I don't even know of any other RPGs that leverages the exchange of party members even half as much. They took the "You can stuff a monster in your pocket in an instant" idea and made it something you're literally using every few moves in many, if not most games. Could we get a video about switching?

To anyone confused as to why slow start weakens foul play: Slow start doesn't half your attack stat, it halves the damage done when you use a physical move. The same happens with body press. The game doesn't care that they don't use your attack stat, it only cares that they're physical moves. This is the same reason why choice band and huge power boost body press, but eviolite fur coat and snow don't. Similar thing with foul play, if your opponent holds a choice band then you won't get a boost, but if YOU do then it'll be boosted. Also, toxic leech seed isn't viable in the campaign or link battles because you can just click razor leaf.

Gamefreak should make a signature version of what old leech seed scaling was. A "toxic" leech seed would be really cool. Bonus points if it's given to a pokemon that can lock the opponent in somehow, like a whirlpool or arena trap user. VGC could use always use more nuanced defensive strategies, but singles would be plagued by this.

Wish is just an average JRPG healing magic skill any Healer role monster or ally can use on themselves or an ally. It just takes longer. Soul Heart is just the same Skill Komashura in the Yo-Kai Watch series has always used. Komashura has always been pretty good in meta to boot.

Series 13 VGC was the dumbest format ever, it was amazing. Soul Heart is obviously broken but the power level of that format was insane because you could just run prankster tailwind and 5 restricteds so none of the mythicals were really that good. Although getting hit with choice scarf zeraora plasma fists into regieleki explosion was a unique trip. Another really interesting Gen 1 mechanic to look at is Bide, there’s a bunch of weird things it does, like bypassing accuracy checks, only accumulating damage from the first hit of multi hit moves, and the glitch Scott’s Thoughts recently discovered where it won’t accumulate damage if you speed tie and win that tie at least once. Also, hardly anyone understands damage rounding thresholds even though they affect every damage calculation in Pokémon to this day.

You didn't mention Substitute! That mechanic is so fucking confusing Showdown has to give you an essay every time you hover over it and what Status moves are blocked with substitute has changed so often of the generations. Seriously, go look at the graph they have on Bulbapedia. It's crazy that such a central move is never talked about how weird it is. For example Mimic is blocked in gen 3 and 4 ONLY but not 1,2 and 5 onwards. Sound based moves only started bypassing Sub in gen 6 except perish song which has always worked, and starting in Gen 5, sub blocks transform
