It's hard to judge from the video, but I think this 1.8 million simulation already took weeks based on how slow results were coming in. Python is great for implementing fun ideas quickly, but it's not so good for scaling up into billions of match-ups. To run such a large simulation on a home PC you'd have to figure out a way of running simulations in parallel on the GPU and even with optimized code it would most likely take months.

so objectivly miraidon is the strongest PLAYABLE pokemon 22:12

[@Rubenlostit]

You cant base this list off objectivity, the simulated AI definitely messed up bad (or Frank's manual sets were just bad) in a lot of places after looking at the list closer as some of the pokemon high/low on the list I cant even fathom being in those spots. Although Miraidon did win a recent official regional tournament so there is that

[@ender2969]

​@@Rubenlostitbut you can because the simulations the same for every pokemon so each pokemon is equally as bad as playing

[@davidemariani1056]

[@J.R.MusicProductions]

​@@ender2969 I imagine that for ones where more advanced strategy is needed, the bad playing has a much more extreme effect.

[@ender2969]

@jaydenraynor391 for some that rely on a specific move or ability maybe but overall it's equally fair

[@Strongo85]

The feels at 17:35.... Man that video like sparked my memories as a child it was so freaking nostalgic I remember pokemon since I could remember. Right in my feels man .

[@codetaku]

"I tweaked some of the movesets to be viable in 1v1s" "Also I left Curse on Spectrier for some reason" Believe it or not, Spectrier is Legal in Smogon 1v1s, so you actually could've gone to the 1v1 metagame thread and found this exact set from a sample team: Spectrier @ Life Orb Ability: Grim Neigh Tera Type: Ghost EVs: 4 HP / 140 Def / 164 SpA / 200 Spe Timid Nature - Hyper Beam - Hex - Will-O-Wisp - Calm Mind This is how you make a Spectrier for 1v1s lol

[@feluciavt]

Absolute menace

[@wompsighs9687]

Thank you, this was bugging me so much. Like I enjoyed the video for the most part but how am I supposed to believe that Spectrier is ever supposed to run curse AND place lower than every single first stage starter in pokemon

[@Vegathron]

I mean yeah but in his defense keeping an eye on 1000+ pokemon would be pretty tricky and a LOT of work.

[@ailurusfulgens1849]

Also it's a meme video, it's just not that serious and if some Pokemons get the shaft in the process then it is what it is.

[@PhiloseChannel]

First time seeing your video, and your edits, comedic timing and just production is really top notch and funny without being too much.

[@giantWario]

A Gen 3 pokemon being the strongest non-legendary is insane, the power creep just doesn't affect Slaking I guess.

[@Therevengeforget]

power creep: "Hey, Slaking, MOVE!" Slaking: "nah, too lazy... give me another generation or two..." power creep: "You've been saying that since Gen 3!" Slaking: "oh well, next one's the charm."

[@carriegabaldon4540]

The “back to you frank” *pause* “thanks frank” got me rollin 😂

[@Melchary]

That last shot with the camera on the roof is pure cinema. Great video and all, but I enjoyed just looking at that shot so much and I was sad when the video ended so quick. You must use it again.

[@whereisspacebar2991]

Before watching the video, I'm going to predict that Shedinja does really well just because of how many Pokemon can't hit it at all.

[@GoblinSquid]

It got rank 677, which is kinda mid.

[@liammccoy385]

I thought I was so smart picking Shedinja for a top 25 placement and then I look at the list and ITS 677 THATS NOT EVEN IN THE TOP HALF 😭

[@rflojr7528]

This was a very interesting video. Reviews where the content creator is speaking directly to the audience often are a chore to watch but Asteroid creativity in integrating cutaways to side comments/thoughts and product commercials are amusing and whimsical but engaging as well

[@zaffenfyrtz1466]

Fun fact: Since Eternamax Eternatus is allowed and physical attackers are more popular, if it had 240+ Def it would win against every single Physical attacker, since it would only take 1% damage due to defense overflow.

[@akumayoxiruma]

Sad to see Shedinja only at #677 with a lower win-to-lose ration. I expected it to be much higher considering its ability and many Pokémon simply not having anything to hit it with.

[@omnibeta1876]

There is a high chance it got stalled out into Struggle, which instantly snaps its neck

[@GeorgeDCowley]

@@omnibeta1876 Doesn't it run Swords Dance a lot?

[@Polzemanden]

Unfortunately, I think bug is probably the worst typing to combo with the ability. Way too many mons can learn some random flying or fire move, not to mention shit like Toxic or Will-o-wisp being kinda prevalent.

[@GeorgeDCowley]

@@Polzemanden Guess Curse beats it.

[@silentKeys20]

The reason Shedinja is *kinda* viable in pro play is because you know how to use it against a good matchup, and usually the pool of meta pokemons are severely limited. When we're talking about battling every single other pokemon, given good coverage moves, then he falls off.

[@nurfgal]

[@Kulkogo]

“There may be tampering with the results” Yeah if a decent mega and a powerful legendary Pokémon are in the bottom, I would consider redoing the entire thing

[@miekruss646]

I know this is a fun list and all but the more I look at the list the more I wonder wtf happened with some of the pokemon. Abra is higher than alakazam AND mega-alakazam?

[@minomorales2996]

Seeing victini get ranked so high feeds my soul just right

[@garyruttan7578]

[@belodie]

I am shocked that Meloetta did so well. Shocked in a good way, though - it's my favourite Pokémon!

[@abaddonarts1129]

In regards to Miraidon you said "Why did they think this was fair???" and to that I just turn and point at the cutscene where it refuses to die and becomes unbelievably broken in the final cutscene because plot armor. You can't even intentionally fail, iirc.

[@ElysetheEevee]

I'm so confused by some of this commentary, lol. The weird pronounciations, the subtle mentions of things that I can't if they're genuinely mistakes or trolling; it's all amazing. 😂 This was also interesting.

[@overwhaaaaat]

I genuinely love how you give some of the highest quality Pokemon content there is

[@켄지]

Gen 8 won - Starters (#1 Cinderace, with #2 Inteleon and #5 Rillaboom) - Legendary (Emax Eternatus) - Overall (Emax Eternatus) Then you have Koraidon and Miraidon that are supposed to be the past/future versions of just a normal Pokemon like Cyclizar, that beat literal sky god (Mega Rayquaza). The powercreep is scary. What's next? Gen 10 rodent Pokemon stronger than Eternatus? 😂

[@mailcs06]

Who would have thought that Eternamax Eternatus, the Pokémon exclusively made for a 4v1 boss fight where you get 2 legendaries on your side for free, is the strongest Pokémon for 1v1s. Shocking

[@zexisQ]

I was really wondering how the pacing of the video would be with all of this data and you absolutely crushed it Frank! Good stuff 👌

[@Dark.Wing.Venom.]

Questions I have after a few seconds: Is it Shedinja? Do you test all combinations of attacks? Natures? Abilities? Forms? Sex? Hold items?

The fact that Mega Ampharos got 5th best mega only being beat by both Mewtwo's, Gyarados, and Rayquaza, is surprising. I love it when unexpected Pokémon do well, especially when it is one of my favorites.

[@searingllama5621]

I look forward to seeing this list when you fix all the broken variables and I didn't even guess the Eternamax form of Eternatus because I forgot that fight existed, for some reason I was expecting something out in the left field like a Latios as the top even though that's clearly not gunna happen XD
