What's YOUR favorite Fire Type? Is it cringe that mine is Charizard...?

[@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy]

It's a reasonable pick tbh

[@Link-pr9id]

Yes, yes it is. Arcanine FOR THE WINNNNNN

[@chairkun3095]

I honestly never understood the complaints with Sprigatito, other than it being another quadruped to biped evolution. I love its funny mask, floating flower and magician aesthetic. The only thing that's making me hesitate picking it for my starter is that its type overlaps with Mabosstiff who is just the most precious boy.

[@ColeCassidyishot]

As long as it looks good when bipedal.. I'm fine with that.. people just like to complain imo😭

[@citrineshark9240]

i liked it until people called it weed cat

Yeah! While im an Quaxly girl forever, Sprigatito is an lovely boi! Meowscarada is pretty cool too~ But tbh I just love all Paldean Starters ☺️

[@codeyheslop6603]

I liked the design of sprigatito but I knew it would likely become a 2 legged cat (nothing wrong with that it’s up to opinion) so I decided against it.

Meowscarada having such high speed allows it to easily defeat both of the other options in one hit. Plus it is the one I enjoyed using in every battle. 7 crits in a row to beat a steel team. Insane.

[@LauraTeruel-ib7fp]

Meowscarada has the move flower trick : It inflicts damage and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.But I just noticed something interesting about it today. Flower Trick has a base power of 70. It's also an automatic critical hit, which gives it a 1.5x multiplier. 70 x 1.5 = 105 Okay, now let's add STAB. Normally that's another 1.5x multiplier. However, if we Terastallize Meowscarada into a pure Grass type, that STAB gets boosted to a 2x multiplier instead. 105 x 2 = 210 So yeah, this is a busted move that never misses, hits like a truck, and pierces through defenses. Still with me? Because here's what happens when we use it as a super-effective attack: 210 x 2 =420 If it's super-effective, Grass Tera Meowscarada's Flower Trick has a base power of 420. What I didn’t realize about Meowscarada is that it’s a heavy physical attacker, so night slash was a good add to the move set too. What makes it almost broken is the signature move though. Flower trick never misses and always deals a critical hit, coupled with overgrow and grassy terrain this is a hell of a move for a grass type starter.

[@robertbarrows6687]

Sprigatito is adorable and its evolution line is really nice. Floragato is adorable, probably the best second stage evolution in a long time and is like a Pokemon Puss and Boots which I think was a design inspiration. And Meowscarata is a BEAST The performance and magician theme it has makes it rather unique. AND it has probably one of the best moves in the long time: Flower Trick. A 70 power, no miss, always crit attack that gets stab (and tera boosts too)? So yeah, no regrets choosing it for my first run. Its already one of my favorites since Venusaur.

[@paulklein2124]

Dude I usually never comment on vids, but thx for all the content u provide. Must be alot of work, to put these videos together.

[@still09]

Anyone else wondering why he doesn't sweep more with Skeledirge? It has an easy sweep on Larry - Grusha, and both Poppy, Larry 2, and Geeta.

[@veenadayma6514]

My guess for the Geeta Part is because of Lumina Crash + Aqua Jet, if both end up critical hits. But that is quite unlikely to happen. Perhaps he wanted to play it as safe as possible.

[@HarveeFriend]

I say so he can make the run more interesting but for Geeta I think cus her first Pokémon has Lumina Crash which makes it harder to sweep her since it lowers the targets special defence harder when it hits everytime and cus if it lives Torch Song it gets a special attack boost too cus of its ability

I love whenever he names his mons, there is always a theme, with his dragon only nuzlocke it was desserts and sweets, with this one it’s names of peppers

[@slimeboy-qi9vy]

i chose sprigatito because I REALLY LIKE its design. Also, I know that it sucks that we got it on two legs but I think the magician style is pretty cool and its move flower trick can be really useful as it always crits and never misses

[@purgatoryproductions310]

i have childhood trauma, but it's not related to sprigatito. i've always been a cat lover, and i knew from day 1 that i wanted to pick sprigatito. i really enjoyed the nickname theme this time around! naming them all after types of peppers was super smart.

And there is the final nail in the coffin. These games are amazing, but my god are they undertuned in terms of difficulty. There are so many points during this playthrough where a pure fire type team should've struggled and yet 0 deaths. Not taking away from Antlerboy knowing his stuff, just.... Yeah, I dont know many other entries where you can avoid a KO entirely using pure fire.
