Adding WAY MORE POKEMON To Super Smash Bros!

With rumors of the Nintendo Switch's successor on the horizon, a new Super Smash Bros. game is inevitable, and with that comes new Pokemon. What if we could break the mold beyond the usual starters and Legendaries from the most recent generation though? That's what we're looking at today in the finale of this miniseries that looks at EVERY single Pokemon as a Smash 6 candidate.

Thanks for watching! This is the finale to a 2-part series going over every single Pokemon from Bulbasaur to Pecharunt as a Smash candidate, check below for a link to part 1 as well as any corrections the comments pointed out. Part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWa7in6oeqlpf5o Corrections: -Accelgor and Greninja aren't actually from the same generation, I got my wires crossed there because they both learn Water Shuriken. -Haxorus isn't a pseudo-Legendary apparently? That one caught me way off guard lol. -Similarly catching me off guard: TOGEPI AND XATU ARE BOTH GEN 2 WHAT?!?!? -My description of how Brine works was incorrect, it triggers when the opponent loses health. -I referred to Eternatus as "Scarlet and Violet's big bad," which was obviously a slip up given that all the footage used comes from Sword and Shield lol *Patreon:* www.patreon.com/mockrock *Second channel:* kzbin.info *Twitter:* twitter.com/MrMockRock *Twitch:* www.twitch.tv/mockrocktwitch *Teespring:* teespring.com/stores/mockrock *TimeBolt affiliate link* (excellent software I use to speed up editing on my videos, use code "MOCKROCK" for a discount): mockrock--timebolt.thrivecart.com/order-page/

[@creature6715]

​@@yungmuney5903no it didn't?

[@MajoraZ]

On the last part, as a Pokken player, I explained how it adapts each Pokemon in that vid into a traditional fighting game character, so i'm doing the same for part 2! *BRAXIEN* : Pokken does give her Light Screen as an anti projectile tool, but otherwise she's quite a bit different then your proposal! In Pokken, Braixen is a fairly versatile character with both strong zoning and projectile tools with Psybeam (slow, paired projectiles fired at many angles), Fire spin (a lingering ground hazard), Fire blast (a HUGE fireball) and flamethrower (big disjointed anti air) to keep the enemy away and locked down, alongside some other misc projectiles; but also is quite capable of playing a strong game in mid and close range with moves that use her wand for large hitboxes, and flame charge as a great midair advancing hitbox. What makes her REALLY unique though is that she can cancel her moves into calling Support Pokemon, and has tools to build Support Meter faster, such as with Sunny Day. One of the best characters in the game, top tier! *SUICUNE* : Suicune really doesn't have any gimmicks, and it's just a relatively down to earth, basic zoning character that's also capable of playing a decent mid range and close up game, ironically I guess a bit like Braixen: Ice Beam, Hydro Pump, Aurora Beam, and Blizzard are all long to mid range laser like projectiles at different angles, while Hail can be used to rain hazards from above at different positions, and Icy Wind as a slow, lingering projectile to use for screen/stage control. The... tail ribbons(?) can be used for mid range pokes and hits, and Suicuine can use those, it's big head shield, and it's hind legs for some impressive juggle combos. Perhaps the best tool in Suicune's kit is it has one of the best Focus/Counter attacks in the game, which actually can be extended with optional followup hits, can be used as an anti air, etc. Considered one of the weaker characters, low tier, but as I said last vid, Pokken is quite balanced and many a top 8 and Grand Finals have been won by Allister with Suicune! *WEAVILE* : My main! Weavile is a speedy mobile rushdown character, but is also great at playing hit-and-run like a brat, scurrying away to waste time and zone before getting right back in your face! Great at getting in with fast walk/dash speeds, tools to to bypass and hit through projectiles, plus long range advancing pokes. Once up close, he's got great frame data, can loop his blockstring combos with Fake Out and mixes in cancels and armor piercing moves to hit ya if you think you got an opening, and can even steal meter and depower the foe's burst state. On defense, Taunt is an amazing counter that activates on frame 1, gives you total invulnerability that can be held for a whole second, and can even cancel it into block with zero openings instead of unleashing the counter hit! His most unique element though is: Icicle Crash he can use it as a midair platform to waste time (this + taunt are great for time-out wins!), then fire it as a projectile at different angles (to zone/play keepway) which launches him in different directions, allowing him to change momentum or leap past/over projectiles, and use his unique fastfall to drop to the ground and start a combo in a split second. He also gains meter stupid fast like Lucario and Shadowtwo: Widely considered to have the tools for Top Tier, but doesn't actually have many high event placements *CHANDELURE* : THE Projectile heavy zoner in Pokken! Like Peacock in Skullgirls, Chandelure floods the screen with fire lasers, slow moving ghostly fireballs, fireworks, and other projectiles all at different angles and speeds. Many of Chandelure's moves inflict debuffs on the enemy, and as you're trying to avoid getting hit by Chandy's projectiles, she'll try to grab you with Hex, a long range grab that does more damage the more debuffs you have, sort of like what was proposed in these videos for Banette. However, she sort of sucks up close due to poor frame data (though all of her specials do pierce armor), with her only real fallback being the admittedly devastating Overheat, which beats both grabs, armors through other attacks, and pierces armor itself, at the cost of giving herself a debuff. She's also got mid range disjointed moves where she unfurls her chandelier arms into tentacles. Mid to high tier, great character. *EMPOLEON* : Actually, NOT slow heavy brusier in Pokken like you said it is! Empoleon is actually a mixup character and zoning character a lot of mobility tools and options! He's got some long range beams and interesting projectiles to catch you from a distance, but can then rush to you to follow up on any openings: Aqua Jet is a fullscreen dash with a hitbox that can zoom you across the entire stage, and has multiple followup and cancellable options with different properties, many of which (Surf, Cut, Waterfall, etc) still maintain momentum. Hydro Cannon is another move that blasts Empoleon towards the enemy with a hitbox, and most uniquely, Empoleon has multiple moves which leave ice on the ground, which gives Empoleon an Ice-Skating state that allows him to glide over the ground or twirl into the air at interesting angles. Empoleon is also the king of dealing chip damage through blocking! Lower end of low tier, but still has some results. And the characters already in Smash: *CHARIZARD* : I'm actually not sure how Charizard works in Smash, but there are shared moves: Flare Blitz is a powerful advancing mid range option. amd unlike in Smash, you can do followups from it even on block (though it is vulnerable to being i-framed through height states). Charizard also has some aerial mobility and juggle options, like normals that move him up into the air, and a glide state. He's also got many moves with long disjointed hitboxes thanks to his tail and fire breath, so's fairly threatening at mid range, and Seismic toss is a devastating command grab. After Machamp, he's the closest thing to a big body grappler/heavy hitter that slowly and threateningly inches closer, but Zard has more mobility and approaching tools then that archetype implies. Lower mid, upper low tier, solid character. *LUCARIO* : A literal shoto character, with a Hadoken like fireball in Asua Sphere, an advancing multi hit move like Tatsumaki in Bone Rush (which is a laser bone staff like in the anime!) and a Shoryuken-esque rising invincible reversal in Extremespeed. He's a generalist that does a bit of everything, so not much to cover. But he does get meter fast, and in burst as Mega Lucario, does get enhanced versions of a few of his moves, making it so that he's a bit of an Install character, but not as much as Gengar is with his Burst/Mega, since the latter changes more and requires more planning to enter burst. Great character, high, maybe even top tier. *PIKACHU & PIKACHU LIBRE* : Another generalist character like Lucario! However, Pikachu is a bit more high mobility thanks to both literal movement speed, and moves which can bounce Pikachu around towards the enemy (including with an active grab hitbox with Nuzzle) or in midair, many of which can be canceled out of. Libre has some of those same elements with high/tricky mobility, but she's more of a mixup and grappler character, getting buffs off of grabs, being able to jump off of stage walls, and having a trio of both combo starting, armored, and command grab options keeping the enemy guessing as she has you in the corner: Big salt inducer! Kira FR's matches with Pikachu and Libre in the 2022 Worlds LCQ ("2022 Pokémon World Championships | Pokkén Tournament Day 1" on KZbin) are AMAZING examples of high level Pokken play where Kira seamlessly transitions between using their mobility options and doing close up offensive play. Pika is solidly mid tier, Libre high to top. *MEWTWO & SHADOW MEWTWO* : Two VERY different characters. Mewtwo is a generalist, tho with more pressure tools then Pika or Lucario, as well as an airdash he can use in combos or for approaches, and a stance he can do mixups out of. He can use pyschocut and a followup run state (which he can cancel into a backdash) to zone or approach, and hyper beam is a BIG damage fullscreen laser that, fitting it's mainline RPG effect, leaves him vulnerable if blocked. Finally, Psyshock is a disgusting defensive option, that like Chandy's overheat, beats both grabs, armors through attacks, and can even win out vs other armored moves at times. His only real main downside is his specials cost meter to use, so entering his burst state more then once a match takes careful planning, like Gengar. On the flip side, Shadow Mewtwo is a glass cannon: His specials cost HEALTH (which he has a low amount of to begin with) to use, so if you're not careful about using burst mode and Recover to regain health, you'll be dead fast, but on the flip side has amazing pressure tools and does gain meter very quickly and can enter burst 2-3 times per round. Miracle Eye also allows him to change the property of moves, the trajectory of projectiles, or re-activate elapsed hitboxes AFTER they've already been used!. Both are high to top tier. To comment on some of your other ideas: I actually do think that Ditto could be handled interestingly, if done like Double in Skullgirls: Doesn't copy other fighters, but rather each attack transforms him into other characters to use their moves. So it could have the Falcon knee as a foward air, but also Sephirotth neutral air, etc, alongside changing their properties slightly. And while I don't like Probopass's design, I think it has interesting moveset potential, where it can send it's miniature heads out like satellite drones which can attack from different angles. Ferrothorn and Ariados could hang from/walk on ceilings/the bottom of platforms, and I really want Drapion or Grirmsnarl in Pokken as a Dhalism or Min Min archetype. And yes, I AM one of the 12 Maractus fans!

[@stephenyang8333]

2:06:32 I know that it had a huge part in the first Anime, and that’s why people think it’s a Gen 1 poke, but- Togepi and Togetic are Gen 2 mons, and Togekiss was added in Gen 4 as part of the “we’ll give evos to a whole bunch of old Pokémon” deal.

[@MrMockRock]

Wooooow I actually just had my mind blown here. I knew Togetic was Gen 2 but I'd have bet money Togepi was from the original 151

Togepi was the main Pokemon to advertise breeding and eggs, so I always remember it being gen 2.

one way that Zangoose and Seviper could be done is if they had a moveset that consists of them trying to hit each other and instead throwing hitboxes at everything else in the surroundings; like that's the thing Tom & Jerry did iirc also, Slowbro could have a really funny armor mechanic based on the fact that it takes longer than usual to notice pain. it takes all the damage and hitstun and knockback -- just, 5 seconds later

[@jbkesselman]

[@kadabraguy9846]

You love to see another soul converted to the Breloom gang 😌 soon he will replace Pikachu as the series mascot

[@mintystingmoon4787]

I feel like if you wanted a weird, gimmicky move for a bug type, there’s Fell Stinger, a move that, in game, has ordinarily weak power, but drastically raises the user’s attack stat if they manage to secure a kill with it. You could implement it kind of like that in Smash, having it be the last move to hit an opponent before KO, and causing a big increase in power to the next move, kinda like Revenge, but a move you have to commit more to using.

[@meganintenbro]

The thing about Mystery Dungeon Representation (be it with Grovyle as a fighter, getting the music, a stage, etc.) is less about getting Grovyle himself in. I’d argue Mystery dungeon has the largest/most dedicated fan base of the Pokémon spin offs, to the point where some people prefer it over mainline Pokémon in general. So to see it explicitly represented in smash would be hype in its own regard.

[@SwampSpirit]

15:44 Erm, actually, Accelgor was introduced in Gen 5 alongside Escavalier, not Gen 6 with Greninja. ☝️🤓

You're not the first person I've seen who thinks that Togepi is from Gen 1, it just goes to show how much of an impact Misty having one in the anime was.

[@ungulatemanalpha]

My idea for Golisopod's Emergency Exit would be a unique spotdodge that, rather than avoiding an attack, made it take reduced damage and fixed knockback from the attack. So if you spotdodge a jab that would otherwise be part of a combo setup, you get sent flying much further but with faster recovery, and if you eat a smash attack at kill% during it, you'd only get knocked so far instead (although there'd be an upper limit and a staling mechanic to keep this in check).

[@OrigamiAhsoka]

Huge props to doing literally the ENTIRE Pokémon roster, holy cow

[@nedalsoned9940]

outrage would be a really interesting side b in the vein of double edge dance, but with the addition that you cant cancel it early if the opponent blocks it- nodding to how you're locked into it if it hits in pokemon

[@fallendawn2846]

I feel like zangoose and seviper could be implemented in a similar way to tom and jerry in multiversus. they're not trying to kill their opponents, they're trying to kill eachother and they keep missing and hitting their opponents

[@gavinmorton7682]

I think archeops maybe doesnt have to get weaker, but maybe rage doesnt apply? you dont necessarily get worse over time, but you trade some of the potential power from rage for actual power now. I think that might be interesting, but maybe doesnt fit archeops well enough

[@kicksyo2171]

As someone who didn't grow up with Pokémon, and doesn't know very much about it today, hearing about all these different types, and what they're supposed to be references to is very interesting.

[@Ace_Spades.]

A fun way to implement Type null and Silvally into smash without the overlap of Arceus could be something similar to Nagoriyuki/A.B.A from Guilty Gear Strike. With it’s mask Type null is a slow heavyweight with strong attacks but with usage of a resource you can break the mask changing it into Silvally, a fast strong rush down character which takes double knock back from any attacks until the mask reconstructs itself, it could lead the way to interesting combos and the mechanic of finding the perfect opportunity to go into rush down.

[@licensedpotato7]

*that* reason also applies to delphox. I think Braixen just has a more appealing appearance and proportions.

[@flipsideomega9805]

47:56 Honestly I could see Zangoose and Seviper working as a tandem character where they're constantly fighting eachother and the opponents are just collateral, similar to how Tom & Jerry function in Multiversus

[@meluiethbox844]

I tried searching to see if anyone else had made these corrections and didn't see anything so hopefully I'm not beating a dead horse here, but -Brine doesn't deal more damage when you're at low health, it deals more damage when the target is at low health, the idea being that the salty brine is inflaming their existing wounds. -Parasect isn't a bug parasitizing a mushroom, it's a mushroom parasitizing a bug. The bug itself is practically dead underneath, the mushroom is controlling its body to move around, like a cordyceps fungus on an ant. I think the bug is meant to be a cicada, but gen 1 combined elements of a lot of different animals to make more generalized monsters (which I honestly prefer) and, you know, crabs are just bugs, crabs are closer to bugs than spiders are. Also, fun fact, given that the position, color, and poisonous nature of Clodsire's spines, it's possibly in reference to a real life salamander species that has spines made of its own ribs, when it flexes the spines puncture poisonous sacks and then break through the skin to deliver toxins.

[@MrMockRock]

Good corrections, I'll add them, thanks!

[@makodoesstuff]

An idea I had that could work for archeops, is basically, the closer the match is to even, the better the characters stats are

[@PQRDG]

I do understand why you don’t want Grovyle as the representation for the Mystery Dungeon franchise. What I could suggest instead is using a combo character of Grovyle and Celebi. Use Celebi’s time mechanics to dodge attacks or teleport around the stage. Add the Time Gears to certain taunts or attacks. Use the buddy system to really represent the core themes of the Mystery Dungeon Games, while giving us an iconic pair of characters. Also I do find it funny that Dusknoir was brought up last video but you failed to mention it’s insane presence as a villain in the Explorers games, especially with how it’s stomach mouth was used.

[@zernek9199]

A few quick notes -Farigiraf and Girafarig are meant to be pronounced like Giraffe - Koraidon and Miraidon's names are meant to be more pronounced like "Ride On", it's a little pun bc Gen 9 went crazy with naming puns - Remoraid and Octillery were originally more military-themed, with Remoraid being more like a torpedo and Octillery being more of a literal tank, but they got censored/changed during GSC's development, and the dynamic kinda got killed. Anyway, that's why Remoraid evolves into Octillery. (Correction, Remoraid was based on a pistol, not a torpedo. It had a sucker on its front which made the evolution line make more sense with it becoming an octopus tank. Thanks to @shattermelon496 for this correction)

[@shattermelon496]

Remoraid wasn't a torpedo, it was a pistol. It's based on an archerfish with a remora's sucker. Incidentally that sucker is partly why it evolves into an octopus

[@KingKirbyy]

Another layer to the second point is that the “Korai” and “Mirai” parts of the gen 9 legends’ names are also real Japanese words that translate to “ancient” and “future” respectively

Killer Instict has a character named ARIA and that character have the same mechanic as your idea for Archeops. She has the same health bar as the rest of the cast but her health bar is divided in three different parts that represent one of her drones. So when she loses that part of her health, she loses the ability to use that said drone. In short words, she starts the match at full power but the more health she loses, the more weaker she becomes.

[@E_Fig05]

B tier is where most of the ones I find really cool ended up (Orbeetle, Melmetal, Xatu). Although I'm SUPER happy (but not surprised) that Deoxys is S tier. I think Blacephalon, Genesect, Hawlucha, and Scizor were A or S, which is also nice.

It’s not even the signature of its gameplay, that’s much more neutral B, and it’s not like Smash is afraid to use similar ideas for some characters (I mean, there are *so many* Charge Shot clones and not many people complain about that since there’s usually at least some kind of difference to them, like Mewtwo having a weird flight and Lucario having a charge hitbox). You could do something fun, like have Salazzle use gas clouds that are longer lasting and combustible, but are much less damaging than Piranha Plant’s smog.

When the world needed him most, he returned with another film length video.

[@Dianathemewqueen]

In the back of my mind I kept wondering when you would upload again and I'm so glad to see this one. I really like your takes on everything and I find it hard to argue with most of your opinions. You clearly do a ton of research and you are one of my favorite creators. Keep it up King!

Now do every Fire Emblem character.

16:00 Im so happy somebody noticed my favorite mon, he always gets ignored

Raging bolt is a brontosaurus, which means thunder lizard

[@jobot0114]

I just had a fuckin brain blast with Deoxys and its form shifting. Imagine if it started the stock in Normal Form, but when you did a smash attack, it changed to Attack Form, and then _stayed_ that way, modifying its stats accordingly. Using either up or side special could switch it to Speed Form, down special or shield could switch it to Defense Form, and then neutral special could switch it back to Normal Form, and all of its normals/aerials/throws wouldn't affect which form its in but could change attributes based on the current one. God I want this so badly now.

[@MrMockRock]

This is very similar to what Leon Massey pitched for Aegislash in part 1, I'd be in!

[@lukeblaker8009]

Haxorus is not a pseudo legendary, it's just strong af

[@thisisnotaustin1]

43:02 im not a pokemon expert or a smash bros expert but to me it sounds like you could interpret this move as like a down special that either needs to be charged up first or has limited uses per stock or something, and then for a limited time afterwards, its normal attacks become electrified? like give them more hitstun so that they get access to more true combos.

[@bananaspice1967]

Couple things, Accelgor is not from the same gen as Greninja. It's from gen 5. And actually has some lore with Escavelier. Haxorus also sadly isn't a psuedo-legendary. Hydreigon is the psuedo of that gen.

[@dysr]

That Porygon section was very satisfying to watch.

[@Articfoxgamez]

Inironically Ogerpon is the pokemon I most want in smash, but sadly chances are high its chance has passed. Next smash will be too far in the future for them to concider it.

[@LucasDarkGiygas]

You already moved Grovyle's placement but i wanted to drag you into the mud just a bit more. :P Saying Sceptile is a better Smash candidate is like saying Raichu is a better candidate than Pikachu. Grovyle is simply more popular. There's a reason Braixen is in Pokkén instead of Delphox. The most popular character wins. He should be over Sceptile.

[@bodgmasterxionobst3r983]

Honestly stupid debate both Sceptile and Grovyle are great but Grovyle can represent The Mystery Dungeon spinoffs Delphox is a great pick especially if it gets a Mega in Legends Z-A while Braixen could ve her own thing being more inspired by Pokkén.

He complained about Dark Samus in the previous video.

@@zachpro5475 Exactly 5 minutes in.

[@oneupglitch2582]

For Archeops, you could turn the weaker hitbox into an advantage. Maybe at low % he has more powerful attacks that are slower, and at high % he's weaker but also faster and has better combo potential.

[@zachpro5475]

9:06 and ice climbers

[@terry.1428]

Porygon-Z would be sick but the triad concept could work too. Glitch type moves would fit the character so perfectly

[@Nikowo1610]

Amazing video and all that, but I think Dhelmise would be REALLY fun to implement in smash, it can shoot the anchor and use it like an extremely heavy whip or even flinging yourself somewhere, you can do some things by detaching the wheel and spinning it around, and the seaweed itself could even be used for some faster weaker attacks, it really could fit well as a very versatile extremely slow and heavy long ranged pokemon

[@aidenvega6306]

Ive always wanted a ssbu engine under a pokemon platform fighting game. Id like the idea of being able to swap between pokemon and potential held items being an optional thing to use on command like a final smash except toned down as like temporary boosts or additional jump ome time things for most items to. Adiitionally i think a cool toggle-able option is super effective moves doing more hitstun opposed to damage or knockback buffs allowing certain combo starting moves to allow for longer lasting and flashier combos that dont just ko at 40 but imstead reward the player for matchup kmowledge. The person getting hit always has a chance to switch out but risking a heavy punish. I have so many ideas i just wish i was good at coding to do it myself lol

[@robster_skip4987]

I HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET BUT DEAR LORD AM I HYPED (Also if Decidueye isn't in a high tier I'm rioting) Edit: Decidueye is in S-tier. You can sleep safely tonight

[@LunaMinuna]

Breloom is also a character in Pokemon Type Wild, an old street fighter like Pokemon fan game and it’s very interesting. Also I love my Boy

[@ricardoludwig4787]

Palafin could also work well as part of a trainer where you could really translate it's mechanic perfectly, make it intentionally the strongest member of the trio but you have to bring out it's weaker form out at least once. It can use floppy terrible version of it's moves so it's role is just getting enough space to switch again into another pokemon

[@smollmoth6376]

I'm glad volcarona wasn't dismissed but I'm still sad that my other two moth babies was ranked low

[@aquatic4699]

One thing to note when he mentions grass type is competitive: grass is only represented once on Ivysaur, which is also poison. Fire, electric, dark, and water are represented twice, and fairy, normal, psychic, poison, flying, fighting, and steel are all represented once, so I don't think a Pokémon's grass type should be knocked for being grass type. Note: unless he's saying grass is competitive as there are a lot of good grass types that would work well in smash, in which case, fair enough.

[@ryanwall5760]

My idea is Pokémon Rival based on Silver in Gold and Silver. He has the three GSC starters but the stages are super effective against the three Trainer Mons so Chikorita, Quilava, and Feraligatr

[@jfreemandrums]

I been saying, they should make a new Pokemon series as a Smash-like game with access to every Pokemon

[@ittaidor1098]

YESSSS!!! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!

[@Dante...]

I really don't understand why some floating Pokemon are okay and others aren't. It seems kinda arbitrary which ones he deems acceptable.

[@aydenator2770]

it is indeed kinda arbitrary, but he says ones that are “more upright” are better fits, because if a short floating pokemon were to float low to the ground theyd be too small and look out of place.

[@jules2438]

There's quite a lot of mistakes in this video, for example xatu is definitely gen 2, not gen 3, and chansey and blissey absolutely learns egg bomb, the move has just ceased to exist in later generations

[@poppyfrancis7338]

In terms of Scarlet and Violet representation, Ogerpon is also the only one I could see making it as official dlc for Smash and its not even close, therr is a gimmick with the loyal three but they're different enough and not at all crazy enough to warrant being a dlc character, while still being so strong that I wouldn't want to see any way to inflict a Damage over Time effect in smash

[@Keitoded]

Great video! Quick correction though, Eternatus was the "big bad" of Gen VIII, aka Sword and Shield, not Scarlet and Violet.

[@matthewthefunnyman2788]

Pyukumuku is my favorite Pokémon of all time it is heartbreaking to see where you placed him. It's even more heartbreaking because I can't argue against it. He's just so silly

[@Herbert-west-re-animator]

I protest about the ranking of ditto on the grounds that it could just be the smash equivalent of double in skullgirls.

[@LeifTunteri-lm6un]

Armorouge (if that's how it's spelt) I can see working similar to the Orb in Brawlhalla. Definitely a kickass design on it and Sirolex.

[@Spartakill198]

If sky form shaymin gets in the game, there would probably be riots that it stole Spyro's spot

[@cjlite0210]

Dreepy would get represented no matter what if Dracopult got in, since it fires Dreepy itself (same with Drakloak btw)

[@twatts9940]

Just for fun, if the Pokemon that are already in Smash weren't in Smash, where would they end up on this tier list?
