The issue with Cottonee is that it doesn't have Tailwind as of gen 8. If it gets it back it'll be worth looking into, but boosting teams have already had some counters worked around due to Dondozo, meaning you don't have as much support power through stuff like safeguard swagger like you used to.

Strangely enough, even strong Pokémon with downsides can fit this as well. Take Weavile in Gen 8 Ubers. It might have had 100 less base points than most Ubers and was utterly frail, but Dark/Ice STAB at its height meant no popular Pokémon withstood both its STABs and there was no held item gimmick save Zamazenta-Crowned and it outspeeds most legendaries.

9:21 Just a little correction: the effect of Eviolite isn't the same as multiplying their base Defense and Special Defense by 1.5, because Eviolite also multiplies the flat EV boost to those stats. Cottonee's max Defense is 360 with Eviolite, whereas a Pokemon with 90 base Defense would have a max Defense of 306 without Eviolite.

The one thing I’ve learned from your videos is that competitive Pokémon is not about having the strongest ‘mon. It’s about having a team that does the things you want when you want them. I like to remind myself of that sometimes. I don’t have to be the best at everything for everyone. I just have to find the people that need something I can provide and give it to them. This concludes our life lessons with Pokémon segment.

Back in the day I was really proud of my Cinccino cause I used it as a sort of wildcard pokemon that could take down a decent variety of types, it learns a few 5 hit moves that guarantee 125 power hits. It was part of my "cute" team, I always built a sort of theme for my teams... Here's how I used to run it: Fling Rock Blast Bullet Seed Retaliate (carrying a Hard Rock to make Rock Blast more effective or to have a 100 pwr dark-move should I need it) You never start with it cause you wanna surprise your oponents! After one of your pokemon faints, no one expects this cuddly thing to one-shot you with a 140 power Retaliate + stab.

I’ve been binging your videos and they’ve been a joy to watch and has convinced me to try out S/V and get back into VGC. The learning curve seemed too steep to get into Sw/Sh onwards but it’s great to see such deep analysis of the new mechanics. Thank you Wolfey!

We really glossed over that Tony Nguyen had a Vanilluxe. Its stats are underwhelming and it's coverage is pretty terrible too. What was its role on the team?

the eviolite boost is actually larger than the one shown at 9:20 - eviolite grants a boost to the raw stat, not the base stat, which converts to an actually larger base bulk than if the base stats were multiplied as an example, azumarill has a base stat of 50 - a max of 218 at level 100 or 112 at level 50. if huge power doubled the base stat, that would make a base stat of 100 - max of 328 at level 100 or 167 at level 50. but since it doubles the raw stat, that's a maximum 436 at level 100 or 224 at level 50, roughly 149 base attack, almost tripling the base stat as for cottonee itself, its base bulk with eviolite would go from base 60 def 50 spdef to base 100 def 86 spdef

That Cottonee thing is some 400 IQ level brilliancy. Might as well use the pre-evolution so that you get can get the pre-evolution bonus, since Focus Sash needs to go elsewhere anyways.

5:53 Strangely? I mean, Gengar is posed as if it stands/walks & is shown on the ground in-games, unlike the anime, where it floats, but Gastly & Haunter float & are lighter to an extreme; It doesn't seem that strange to me why they kept Levitate.

I was running Sneasel in swsh because it got inner focus while Weavile lost it, had good support moves in fake out and icy wind and still could one shot a dynamax Landorus-T with triple axel.

I don't think it's strange at all that Haunter and Gastly got to keep Levitate because, y'know, they actually Levitate?

When somebody seriously brings an weak Pokémon into a match, it can make you wonder, "The hell is my opponent doing?" And then when said Pokémon is pivotal to their strategy, you realize they knew all along what they were doing, and proved that skill is more important than big numbers.

9:20 Misleading visual, stat modifiers like boosts and items and some abilities affect the FINAL stats of the Pokemon (after everything from levels, EVs, and IVs, have been taken into account), NOT the base stats of the Mon, which are almost completely different. There is a difference between base 90 defense and base 60 defense +1. Might want to talk to your editor about that.

Has anyone else ever wondered how good or bad an offensive or speed variation of eviolite would be competitive? Haunter is a good example for this as the defensive boost is practically useless.

I think something similar is happening with Tinkaton in Scarlet/Violet, too. Even though its stats aren't the greatest, I've seen RTGame (and maybe others) use a support-focused Tinkaton.

Maybe i am wrong but the defense and sp-defense from shedinja are not entirely useless, because they are needed for damaga calculations when it has a substitute up. It can get one with baton pass or shed tail. I doubt the substitute will live more than one hit though.
