Came here for this comment. Protect 100%

[@RobinNashVideos]

Yeah, protect is without a doubt the best normal type move, just because the game kind of depends on its existence. But I guess you could argue it's not really support or offense.

He only mentions detect during the fighting type support moves but never even considers it to be the best. So, he might intentionally ignored protect

Fire Lash and Double Iron Bash are both incredible moves that weren't mentioned. You got a physical attack that always lowers the target's Defense, useful for both offense and support, and effectively a 120 power move (180 with Technician) that has a 51% flinch chance

[@Keyboard_Noises]

Ngl I was expecting protect when he started listing support normal moves. No matter the format, protect is almost always used, especially VGC.

Protect is more common, but fake out is more likely to win a game.

[@OronSSJ]

Yay, More Wolfey Content. Just what I needed!

[@stnbl1569]

The way beak blast works is that it's priority turn one, then negative turn 2. This works because toucannon is very slow, so you're setting up a trap turn one where people can get burned. Then, turn 2 if the opponent has physical attackers, they can't even really use them, so beak blast is really good on slow flying types because you're just getting a burn off, and then cus you're slow, you would've gone last or close to last anyway so it doesn't matter.

[@066kshitizvsingh4]

beak blast isn't even a 2 turn move. its essentially focus punch without the drawback of failing if hit. + chance to burn

[@rubemevangelista3868]

@@066kshitizvsingh4 yeah it's not like Bide, it's a 1 turn move that starts with the highest priority but only activates after all other moves

[@LaterXavier-TX]

I am always a sucker for Chatter and it is ashame for how no one else gets the move. Essentially it is Nuzzle but a bit stronger and confuses instead. Imagine using this in tandem with Paralysis and Serene Grace Flinch Chance.

[@MrWhirlywind]

The box was a stroke of genius. Keep it up wolfe

[@stijnburgers719]

Wolfey- calling something that would be broken. GameFreak: 'Write that down! Write that down!'

[@Kuribohdudalala]

What’s funny is that not a single move you choose was a direct variation for protect. For as ubiquitous as the move is in doubles, I’d expect it to be the best support move for at least 1 type

[@endy7630]

For dragon you could also argue core enforcer, since it gets rid of abilities, and has 100 base power with no drawbacks (and more PP that Dynamax Cannon)

[@oodogla]

That's true, core enforcer is usually ignored because only zygarde gets it but zygarde will never use it

I know you picked Extreme Speed for the best Normal-type attacking move, but I would choose Multi-Attack. 120 base power, no drawbacks and can change type based on which Memory is held. That move would be broken if every Normal-type pokemon got it. It be even better than full power Return.

[@FayenMorval]

Personally, I think judgement is better because with a plate, it deals the same damage, plus ignoring intimidate is better than ignoring assault vest. Edit: I'm super dumb, multi-attack is better because judgement is 100% countered by magic room XDDDDDD

I think the problem with electrify is only two pokemon get it right now, boltund and Heliolisk. Now if you gave that move to a pokemon with Lightning Rod like Manectric or Zebstrika then it would be a great move to have, because it could basically be a protect + nasty plot in one turn in singles. In doubles it can be paired with lightning rod pokemon but that's not quite as ideal since most pokemon that would benefit from the special attack boost are also electric type, so you'd need to spam electrify to avoid earthquake from destroying you.

[@robertlupa8273]

*Protect + pre-Gen5 Growth. Lightning Rod only boosts Sp. Attack by 1 stage.

Thank you for providing information in this wideo.

[@mewr11]

Before watching, i'll post my own thoughts for best move of each type (keep in mind I play mostly gen7ou but keep tabs on other formats): Normal: Swords Dance (HM: Hidden Power; Protect) Fighting: Close Combat Flying: Defog (HM: Acrobatics, Dragon Ascent) Poison: Toxic Ground: Earthquake Rock: Stealth Rock Bug: Quiver Dance (HM: U-Turn) Ghost: Shadow Sneak (HM: Shadow Ball) Steel: Heavy Slam Fire: Will-o-Wisp Water: Scald Grass: Leech Seed (HM: Solar Beam) Electric: Thunderbolt (HM: Volt Switch) Psychic: Trick Room Ice: Aurora Veil (HM: Ice Beam) Dragon: Dragon Dance (EDIT: DD completely skipped my mind, which is what I get for thinking I could do this without looking at a list of moves) Dark: Knock Off Fairy: Geomancy I'm interested in how singles vs doubles will impact the differences between my list and wolfey's

Pre Wideo comment: Pretty early this time, and this seems like a very interesting concept so looking forward to this!

I'm pretty sure mat block doesn't have priority. It works well with greninja because it's so fast but I don't think it would be viable on other pokemon like conkeldur although trick room would help

Wolfey is raising the intro value too high too quickly. First underline then box. I don't know how he will ever beat it.

[@dashingclasher]

It's funny how comparable Clangorous Soul is to Dragon Dance, because the health you lose is exactly nulled by the defense boosts. The benefits are that you can use it with special attackers and you can heal back that health, and the downsides are that the boosts can be circumvented by high-crit moves and Darkest Lariat or such.
