Im using “gen 2 stat distribution” as an insult from now on, thanks!

[@incandescence5547]

The big legendaries (670+ers) are supposed to waste a ton of points in the offensive stat they won't use because even when doing that they're far above any ordinary Pokemon, so it helps give them more menacing numbers without being *too* overwhelming But I will never understand why they give Fezandipiti this awful treatment.

7:09 And for clarification, because this is a common misconception, Slow Start halves the total and not the base stat. So, instead of hitting slightly harder than Tinkaton, your physical offense is now outclassed by Dedenne for the first five turns.

[@ogeid772]

For those wondering, Regigigas max atk is 212, meaning it would become 106, which is the equivalent of having BASE FIFTY FOUR (yes, 54) and its speed, which reaches 167 max, would become 88 (rounding down) which is the equivalent of having BASE TWENTY NINE

[@teeweezeven]

Honestly, what they should've done is make Regigigas have 30 base speed, put those points in it's defenses and make slow start double the speed instead of halve it (and leave it's attack as is, probably)

[@a_person5668]

Ehhh it’s not useless in every format. In gen 1 competitive itself (gen 1 ou), Articuno is actually pretty good. What becomes its special defense in gen 2 is its pure raw special in gen 1, and is very high. This, plus it’s partial ice typing makes it the best abuser of gen 1 blizzard (120 power, 90% accuracy, 10% chance to freeze, with there being no way to dethaw short of being hit by a first move). Now, mind you, it’s not super great or one of the best mons, but they are pretty good. What holds them back in the tier is its not so great speed, and the fact that it kinda doesn’t do anything but spam the fuck outta blizzard Buttt this is also singles, but still.

I think it would be interesting to see a video on why certain Pokémon fell off. Like with Regieleki, it got the insane ability to terastalize to stop its issue with having almost no moves that weren’t electric type yet it still is a niche pick in part by nerfing its ability by .20x

[@scottcrysel]

feel like elecki's problem is mainly two things. 1) the plethora of insanely strong priority mons. dragonite and chien pao can both one shot it before it moves 2) booster flutter and bundle both outspeed it. flutter can one shot it and bundle can icy wind it to slow it down. so it can't rely on being the fastest on the field which was it's biggest advantage. and then on top of that the 20% power nerf didn't help lol

[@tomodayama7101]

I had a funny strategy with Guzzlord where I had trickroom, stockpile, shuckle guard split, and passed contrary with swallow to give Guzzlord the maximum defense possible. Then my trickroom user had charm to raise it's attack since I gave it contrary. The biggest taunt bait team in history, but it was during an event where everyone had all legendary teams. It was a silly team and I loved it.

Even a flat 100 across the board, like old Mythicals, would've been good.

I think all Regigigas needs to be slightly more viable (and it doesnt necessarily make it amazing) is one of two things, either keep Slow Start on 5 turns BUT they dont reset on switches and one it gets its act together it stays like that, OR keep the resetting on switches but lower it to 3 turns.

[@The_Pikaboi]

When I attended both the Brisbane and Melbourne regionals this season, I ended up bringing an Uxie too the side event at both events. Instead of forcing it to be Cresselia lite, I made it a setup sweeper with the goal of dealing solid damage while taking nothing in return, since you can use Mystical Power to eventually get the damage output. In Reg E, I used Wolfes Snorlax/Kommo-o team as a base but swapped the trick room component for Uxie. Clefairy ended up being a crazy good partner as it let Uxie stay healthy and farm boosts, and when Uxie had a bad MU, Kommo-o gets a free win. In Reg F however I used Calm Mind Uxie and Comfey, which made Uxie much harder to kill and it was easier to keep it healthy for its sweep. In MUs, it couldnt do anything, I found DDance Gouging Fire to complement Uxies weaknesses. Ended up getting 12th at Brisbanes Side Event and 3rd at Melbournes with the guy. So I gotta say, if Cress wasnt busted, this guy has sauce

[@MB26535]

Restricted Pokémon are legendaries and mythicals that are considered too powerful for "normal" official VGC play. Usually, they are legendary pokémon that appear on the box art of the game that you recieve at the end of the story. For example, base form Kyogre and Groudon have insane base 150 Attack and Special Attack with unreal bulk and HP. They have stats that are extrordinarily good without much drawback, so TPC decides that, for fairness, they should only be available in a format with other restricted Pokémon.

[@trevorplaysgames468]

@@MB26535 ah I see thanks for clearing that up

In your previous video on this topic, you brought up that Zamazenta is an amazing support Pokemon, but ends up bad because restricted slots are for the Pokemon you support, not the Pokemon that support. If you were allowed to use any six Pokemon you wanted, do you think Zamazenta would start to see a lot of usage for its supportive capabilities? I think it would -- this format would be very similar to Smogon Doubles Ubers, where Zamazenta is one of the most used Pokemon, and for good reason I hope a format like SwSh series 13 happens again where Zamazenta can shine (I'm not sure how much it was used during series 13, but I believe a large part of why it wasn't used that much is because of Zacian beating it and no Body Press. But now that Zacian has been nerfed, Calyrex-Shadow, which Zamazenta beats, is (probably) the strongest Pokemon)

[@funimationfreeaccauntfree28]

For some reason the thumbnail made me really emotional, good job artist I feel like i might cry why is this making me so emotional😢😢😢

[@Zac_Frost]

One thing I'd do to buff Ice Types would be giving them a couple more resistances. Maybe have them resist Water but be weak to Scald, similar to how Waters resist Ice but are weak to Freeze Dry. And also have them resist maybe Grass and/or Flying. Not the best buff, but it's something.

[@turkoositerapsidi]

I know this is old, and i I too do think that ice type needs resistance buffs just like rock the original durable typing. I do think that water resistance would be the one, then also fairy and ghost maybe, ice is cold, fairy is life magic so and fire and ice resisting it makes sense in my opinion, also ghost being cold afterlife right? Ice and ghost resisting each other would make sense. Grass needs no more nerfs tho so i would not give ice resistance to it for that reason, as there are other options, even the flying one that you mentioned. Also if scald would work any differently to ice types then scorching sands should work differently on grass, but both of these moves need their power to be lowered to 60 or maybe even to 50. And new special non contactong water move with 80 and sp. defence drop chance to be added to the game. Its like flash cannon for water.

[@Zac_Frost]

@@turkoositerapsidi Not a bad idea. Ice resisting Water, Fairy, and I'd say Dragon instead in addition to itself would actually be kinda huge. The reason for Dragon: even with Fairy types, Dragons are still absurd. Even adding a typing that was outright immune to Dragon barely slowed them down.

[@g.williams2047]

Ice needs more resists. Make it resist water and fairy and it’s perfect (also Kyurem becomes the strongest restricted Pokémon with that change lol)

Its so interesting to see the differences between singles and double. Seeing Torn T being here is crazy considering how it is in singles

[@Pd0nZ]

I remember Azelf having Gen 4 viability in practice, but I can't recall any results sadly. Otherwise, yea, pretty much the video. Even Articuno. Though I still love it very much. ❄️

[@XanXinGames]

Then there are the legendaries that are too powerful. Edit: The steamed ham memes are everywhere!!

[@king-kizrop314]

Gotta say, the transitions onto each pokemon was flawless, bringing up the next one as a comparison

[@chillwill2918]

I just subscribed. Also this is the first time I've watched one of your videos.

[@cbuttyvgc]

Babe wake up big edited vid dropped

[@robotto86]

Bro the transitions between mons are crazzzzzy

[@oklandon09]

Time to start another controversy. Type: Null and Silvally aren’t legendary. They’re categorized just as “Special Pokémon” in the Alola dex

[@jvbon646]

Type: Null and Sylvally are Legendary, that's just a straight up canon fact. This isn't "starting a controversy", this is just spreading misinformation

[@gilla2092]

it's not controversial if it's misinformed. there's no leg room to argue, it's just incorrect

[@Goro_Maj1ma]

​@@jvbon646spreading misinformation is controversial sooo you're completely wrong there lmfao.

[@Goro_Maj1ma]

​@@gilla2092spreading misinformed opinions IS controversial sooo you're completely wrong there lmfao. So yes there is leg room to argue ya complete dunce.

[@okgut2033]

raikous purpose is imo to be a weatherball user. thats cool too cause you can have the savest rock move or a strong fire/water/ice move. but to be fair idk where it can use that potential well.

[@DestronGaming]

Brutallt roasting the lake trio sent me into hysterics! LMFAO

[@randallsage2]

You could honestly make the case for putting Solgaleo on this list: its base Attack of 137 is great, it has respectable bulk, is immune to Intimidate thanks to Full Metal Body and has a very colorful movepool including recovery in Morning Sun and utility in Helping Hand and Trick Room. The problem is that it is wholly outclassesd by Dusk Mane Necrozma. Incredible bulk further bolstered by Prism Armor reducing supper effective damage, is far stronger sitting at base 157 Attack and can boost with Dragon Dance.

[@MoxieBoosted]

I had a separate video for restricted pokemon

[@giancarloandretorresguzman7717]

I remember using Raikou on my series 10 Palkia team. It had an AV with thunderbolt, snarl, scald and something else. I think it lived Lando-I’s earth power.

[@sup3riorsausage174]

The lake trio has some sort of niche in gen 4 battle tower, with Uxie and mespirit being strong trick leads and azelf being a strong special attacker that can out speed with explosion and focus sash

[@Beast_the_smash_guy]

While not vgc, but instead draft, Silvally is very strong if Arceus is banned (and it is in most.) Infinite typings you can choose based off the opponents roster+your team. I'm currently running one in a draft league, and my Fire Silvally straight up got 4 kills in one game (Multi Attack, Tera Blast with Tera Grass, Swords Dance, Dragon Claw)

[@gurpinderbilkhu4744]

Meteor Herd playing in the background is so blessed

[@nathanieljones8043]

Mythical were different at one point but you can get alot of them in game now. Its more that they got assimilated by legendaries.

[@jperkinstheatre]

I like that a couple of these mons best options is to just exploding 😂

[@supernerdworld8532]

I just thought now that someone sctually had to figure out the freaking braille puzzle without help at some point. And if i didnt like the 4 rewards that much when i got it in the easy way, just imagine that person. 😂

[@presidenttogekiss635]

Guzzlord would be much better if it got a Head Smash-like move that would let it take advantage of its gargantuan HP to soak up recoil.

[@J0eMega]

I still can’t get over the fact that in a game without abilities, they HARDCODED IN regigigas’s slow start, just to make sure it never received any long-deserved viability.

[@g.williams2047]

What game was that?

[@Noahs_Chair]

IDK why "Give that boy body press" is so funny. It's not even a joke, but the way you say it it's so funny.

[@Ringoismybirdo]

We actually really need the tapus cause they could stop urshifu which is a issue currently as the best counter is flutter mane which is a Pokémon that has some big weakness

[@JRR31]

That thumbnail though 🤣🤣🤣, what happened to tapu Bulu supremacy???!

[@chocobomtom]

Articuno was used today on regionals in Utrecht

[@Brandon_Hardie]

As someone whos favourite pokemon out of their respective groups are raikou, bulu, and wo chien, this is truly a tragedy :(

[@laterferaligatr2947]

Once again, i use Technician Fez in singles. Swords Dance, Double Kick, Dual Wingbeat, Poison Tail. Takes a buncha mons by surprise

[@MorkerNK]

I think Regice may actually have a really useful niche in snow teams or just in general. It's bulk ain't bad at all, and yep, it's typing holds him back, but then again, Tera. Also, 100 spA isn't that bad either, it's workable as a long term poke, specially in VGC. I don't see lt having any success in Singles tho. Maybe in the lower tiers

[@SoggyWafflesXp]

Honestly, that ice horse deserve to be bad after what it did in Gen 8.

[@AntMediaUK]

Girlfriends asleep whilst I was watching this, she stirred then got spooked bc she heard my name in boosted shout outs. Cheers Marcos 😂

[@AntMediaUK]

Update: she just “woke up”, 3am UK, and is super confused. Is demanding to watch the video bc she thinks we battled, cause I’m on the VGC grind atm. Can’t even keep her eyes open and won’t accept that it’s not a showcase video. Has apparently been dreaming about it 😂

[@KatarHero72]

It's funny, cause Raikou, Azelf, and Tornadus T are all solid in singles. Tornadus T is still the weakest cause of how good Landorous and Thundurus are historically, but it's still good. Raikou is a solid special attacker, and Azelf is the 2nd best suicide lead in the format after Deoxys.

[@ultimate_pleb]

Im sick of trying Tied of crying Yeah im smiling But inside im * anime guzzlord cry *

[@r3digit]

This is the first time I've seen that Ice horse. And wow, that's an abysmal design for a legendary

[@paulodelacruz2713]

I subscribe bro because I love pokemon so much also I love your review and analysis

[@venomgaming7014]

How to counter wicked blow/surging strikes: covert cloak + fairy/dragon Tera. Or just a fairy/dragon type. Covert cloak is here since that stops secondary effects. So the crits don’t happen. As for regigigas + weezing, this also applies to slaking (I think?).

[@MoxieBoosted]

Covert cloak doesn't block the crits lol

[@deepzekrom5557]

The Silvally part hurt, cus on gen 8 I basically used it in every team to some success. He is a funny guy

[@jackson4672]

I found Azelf to be useful on my Esparta w/ Speed Boost skill swap Regigias team, as I could use U-Turn as Esparta after skill swapping, then switching to Azelf. Azelf, with a normal gem and using protect on Regigias, Azelf could nuke any opponent that wasn't rock, ghost, or steel.

[@jaydensmith6095]

The lake trio bit got me 😭💀

[@qwoz2327]

considering the 135 sp.a + speed combo flutter mane technically is a miraidon if you squint !

[@christiancinnabars1402]

Silvally (and I guess Type: Null by proxy) is what you get when you look at Arceus, and decide: what if I take away _everything_ that makes this thing viable. Recovery? Gone. Priority moves? Gone. Calm Mind? Gone. Freaking Earthquake? Hope you don't want to run a physical set (even though Multi-Attack is physical and it _at least_ has Swords Dance - take that, Solgaleo!).

[@RevvySD]

Babe wake up new moxie boosted video just dropped

[@pietroabbado7141]

silvally learns grass pledge for some unknown reason, so you can technically use him in some pledge teams i guess
