[@thepuppet4321]

Mrs Rocket Where in the video did Mystic say that? From what I saw, this team is for Gen 1 and Gen 1 only.

[@smgric6853]

Snorlax and Tauros are interchangeable. Snorlax has more bulk, Tauros has the speed. In gen 1 I prefer speed so I would choose Tauros for a competitive team. But in game Snorlax is superior. It gets body slam and hyper beam by level up and it’s easier to find and catch than Tauros

[@smgric6853]

Same for Lapras and Starmie. They can have identical move sets, lapras gets stab on ice attacks and starmie gets stab on psychic. Lapras has the bulk, starmie has the speed, so whichever play style you prefer they are about equal

[@saransh110]

Fluffy Dribbles umm no. That's not how it works. Tauros had higher special than snorlax in gen 1. So snorlax just had bulk. It wasn't tanky at all. Tauros had much higher speed and therefore a much higher critical hit ratio. It's a bit close with starmie and Lapras. Starmie is better. But since he has mewtwo so Lapras is more suited here. Edit: Well Starmie is much better than Lapras so starmie should have been on the team.

[@jacobgiron96]

In the early gen 1 competitive game, when the winner basicaly was the one who defeats the rival mewtwo first, selfdestruct Snorlax was the solution, it was the most reliable way to faint the legendary Pokemon

[@TrueNomadSkies]

I won so many matches by opening with Jolteon, and getting the first move on their Mewtwo using Thunder Wave. With its speed cut, as well as chances for it to flat out not attack, I'd usually hit it again with Thunder and then my next attack with something else would finish it. For some reason, there was always an unspoken playground rule that you wouldn't use a team of 6 Mewtwos lol.

In my opinion: Better Mewtwo Set- Psychic, Amnesia, Barrier, Rest/Recover.

[@lemoonjuce8978]

Amnesia is not viable in gen 1 because thinking that your are using it as a special boost it won't work reason being that Mewtwo is a crit machine like dugtrio and due to a glitch in gen 1 crits ignore the enemy defense boost and your attack boost (same goes for the special stat) so if you crit you will do technicaly less damage then normally with a amnesia boost.

[@musiyevonchilla6769]

@@lemoonjuce8978 Mewtwo learns amnesia in gen1 on LV 81

[@SaintoftheHonest]

lemons dabbed The “crit machine” only gets a crit 25% of the time and you’re improving your bulk. The set should make use of a second attack (Blizzard over Barrier imo), but dismissing amnesia because 1/4 attacks is a crit is ignorant as hell - especially as the added bulk lets you set up opposite opposing Amnesia users. I myself prefer AOA myself (Psychic, Blizzard, Self Destruct and Thunderbolt), but claiming Calm Mind + Simple isn’t viable is downright ignorant.

[@thefirespecialist9007]

[@antonioiniguez1615]

lemons dabbed amnesia was literally the most broken move ever created in gen 1

[@Sazzyjo3]

Some moves (and even mons) were craaaaazy OP in gen 1. Dragon types were quite bad at damaging, but they were nearly unbeatable If hyper beam got a KO in gen 1, it WOULDN’T NEED TO GET RECHARGE If a multi turn move (like pin missile, y’know the moves that hit from 2-5 turns) is used and gets a crit, they ALL do. In gen 1, sp atk, and sp def were 1 stat called special. And before the physical special split (before then 1 type had moves that were either always physical or special) Pokémon with high special stats that has a type with all moves special attacks would hit crazy hard. And if you have a special type vs a Pokemon with a high special stat then it wud do nuthing Also critical hits were based on the speed stat so Tauros was OP. The psychic type was also rlly OP because there was NO dark type moves, or even dark types, it was immune to ghost as well so it was only weak to bug. And in gen 1 the bug type sucked Edit: but there was one drawback, your mons level up super slowly. But the OP moves make it so it doesn’t rlly matter Edit 2: oh yeah, i forgot the trapping moves. Instead of them stopping you from switching, it stops you from moving. For 2-5 turns, it will say “POKéMON’s attack continues!” Well, it says ur mons name’s attack continues, or your enemy name’s mon.

[@TheFlyingPotato777]

Amnesia would raise both ur spdef and spatk sharply due to spdef and spatk being the same stat too.

[@edwardrobinson5470]

Also Ohko moves could hit if user is faster then target not by level.

[@sebastianaliandkulche]

Every pokemon game has op pokemon and moves. And i dont agree in some of the things you said about gen 1 being OP: -"If hyper beam got a KO in gen 1, it WOULDN’T NEED TO GET RECHARGE" Well, honestly gen 2 hyper beam and after that is just useless. In gen 1 is more a risk, reward factor, even if it wasnt intended -"If a multi turn move (like pin missile, y’know the moves that hit from 2-5 turns) is used and gets a crit, they ALL do." The moves are so weak so i dont see a problem here, even with crits. -"In gen 1, sp atk, and sp def were 1 stat called special. And before the physical special split (before then 1 type had moves that were either always physical or special) Pokémon with high special stats that has a type with all moves special attacks would hit crazy hard. And if you have a special type vs a Pokemon with a high special stat then it wud do nuthing" Except from Mewtwo (that pokemon is OP, not discussion in that), every phychic pokemon has weak defense and low HP, so if you use physical attacks you can beat it very easily. I even prefer phychic type in gen 1 than gen 2 just because of that. Special stat was never that bad imo. The split stat make some pokemon unusable for me, like haunter or kadabra, now dont resist a sh... -"The psychic type was also rlly OP because there was NO dark type moves, or even dark types, it was immune to ghost as well so it was only weak to bug. And in gen 1 the bug type sucked" Normal types were much stronger imo, and counters it very well. Thats why Alakazam for example isnt consider the best in competitive. Also bug type is more like an introduction type, to beginner players to start the adventure. Thats why is weak. Even in next gens isnt that great. -"Also critical hits were based on the speed stat so Tauros was OP." Electrode is the fastest Pokemon in gen 1 -"but there was one drawback, your mons level up super slowly." Heavily disagree. I think gen 1 was the most fast paced of all the generations. Grinding isnt that much, and battles are quick as hell.

[@Xelianow]

Uhm, 4 points... 1) Never use Icebeam if you can use Blizzard instead. You know, Blizzard had 90% accuracy in Gen1 and 120 base power... 2) Just use Alakazam instead of Gengar. It is equally as strong and fast, but has STAB Psychic as well as no weaknesses unlike Gengar, which gets demolished by Earthquake. 3) Mewtwo is missing the most broken move in Gen1: Amnesia. It is the equivalent of 2 Calm Minds, since it raises the combined "special"-Stat by 2 stages. One single use of Amnesia makes Mewtwo a onehitting monster while simultaneously beeing basically invincible to special moves. 4) I am kinda missing... Tauros. STAB Bodyslam and Hyperbeam, as well as access to Earthquake and Blizzard comined with a high crit rate due to its superior speed. But i am fine with Snorlax, so that does not matter that much...

[@bookmew1081]

Doesn't Ice Beam have the chance to freeze which Blizzard doesn't? Once a Pokemon is Frozen in Gen1 the condition never ends naturally, making it a worse version of Sleep for whoever gets stuck with it. I can understand why he chose Gengar, which is because of it being immune to all Normal (Hyperbeam) & Fighting Type Moves. Substitute is 1 of the most useless moves in Gen1 & it's never been anything more than a Niche move at borderline of A/B Tier at its best. Gen1 Mewtwo with Amnesia, Psychic, Recover, & Blizzard is an unstoppable force.

[@Xelianow]

@@bookmew1081 Nope, Blizzard had the same 10% chance to freeze. I can understand that gengars immunity to normal is nice, but almost all (scary OU) Bodyslam-User did carry EQ for coverage anyway...

As someone who played red and blue competively, your team is just ok. Lacking amnesia is a head scratcher. Most competitions wouldnt allow mew or mewtwo for obvious reasons. You are missing too many top tier meta picks. Tauros instantly comes to mind. Chansey as well. Some other good top picks are Eggy, Jynx, slowbro, starmie, etc. Dragonite is a one trick pony and wrap doesnt have great accuracy and status effects mess with him vad not to mention he can be 1 shot by blizzards. I just cant take a "best team" serious when it lacks Tauros and his great type, stats, moveset. Chansey is a must because Chansey just hard counters so many.

Most people in gen 1 dont use Gengar bc they need a good ghost type. They use him bc he does a good job of countering top tier normal types like Tauros and Snorlax. By preventing them from being able to use their stab. He can also hard counter dragonites wrap shenanigans. And hypnosis and dream eater I feel like is too unreliable in a competitive scene.

The team I would have picked is: Vaporeon, Dragonite, Scyther, Alakazam, Tauros, Ninetales. My reason besides excluding legendaries (Because legendaries are excessively obvious) is because I feel this time has a solid tactical variety and type coverage. My movesets you ask: 1. Vaporeon (Surf, Ice Beam, Quick Attack, Sand Attack), 2. Dragonite (Agility, Wrap, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt), 3. Scyther (Slash, Wing Attack, Toxic, Swift), 4. Alakazam (Recover, Seismic Toss, Psychic, Substitute), 5. Tauros (Stomp, Body Slam, Earthquake, Double Team), 6. Ninetales (Confuse Ray, Fire Spin/Flamethrower, Body Slam, Dig)

[@SagaciousSilence]

Cool video. Minor correction: Blizzard should replace Ice Beam on all movesets since in Gen 1 it’s 90% accurate and outclasses Ice Beam completely. IDK why Blizzard was randomly so OP in Gen 1 but it’s as... odd.

[@roan6734]

I think its good, can you do the other gens?

[@maxpayne99fr]

The role in the team that Gengar should have is to make Explosion fail, being immune to it. Also, the dream eater set is only viable if you put no sleep clause or if the opponent doesn't switch out the sleeping pokemon. Btw, why not Tauros? He's supposedly the most used Pokemon of gen I with Earthquake, Body Slam, Hyper Beam and Blizzard. He hits harder than Dragonite with Hyper Beam (with STAB) and has a better base speed. To finish why Substitute over Amnesia for Mewtwo? I believe that only Electrode is faster than Mewtwo in gen I (as if any one uses Electrode 😂) so with one Amnesia the only Pokemon he would struggle against is Chansey

[@Akatsukileader9]

Wait, once thing I don't get is, if in Gen 1 you can give 252 EVs and DVs and whatever to a Pokemon's stats, why aren't those stats the same as in the wikis? you know Gengar having 394 special instead of 358 like in this video

What about Night Shade? It's a Ghost version of Seismic Toss. (It has a bit lower PP, but 24 is definitely enough for one battle.)

[@peterholmes7440]

Few things to say: Mewtwo whitout Amnesia? It’s crazy! Doubling his Special stats is what made him invincible in the first place. Swap Substitue whit Amesia and even Chansey would have difficulty switching in. Protection against thunder wave is arguable however, but seems inferior overall. Night Shade was better than Seismic Toss because it was glitched and also hit the Normal and thus it has no immunity contrary of Seismoc Toss. I personally don’t like the Hypbosis Eater strat because it is 100% unreliable. It make a 50/50 scenario where the enemy can see the strat coming miles away and is likely to switch, and even if you tap Hypnosis twice, there is still a chance to miss the second shot.

[@danielropers6412]

Hypneater useless strat cause sleep clause u switch out sleeping mon and No more dreameater

[@redhatgaming5308]

All set damage moves (seismic toss, night shade, etc.) were bugged in gen 1 to not be affected by immunity iirc

[@adityasuryavanshi2823]

Yay a new video!

[@sanchiabynoe9673]

Mystic. Is it viable to have the psedou legendaries within a certain region on a best team, alongside the best starter and pokemon for defeating rivals, gym leaders and the elite four/champion ?

[@calebporter3735]

I dunno if you take comment suggestions but will there ever be a remastered version of the Emboar team from Black and White and the Samurott team for Black 2 and White 2?

[@otaviopalanca]

Mystic Unbreon, what do you use to Write your titles? They always look so slick and beautiful. I'd really like to know. Thanks.

[@chandlerdiasfernandes8595]

Might use some of these pokemon if I ever play blue

[@shawnwhitter5968]

I'm surprised Alakazam didn't make the list, Psychic types in gen 1 were broken

[@suicunetactics1663]

My gen one team I always use Mewtwo,Nidoking, Venusaur, Raichu, Gyarados, Arcanine.

[@hiteshkumar.v461]

Mewtwo , Gengar , Rhydon , Snorlax , Papers , Dragonite

[@Zytigal]

Was expecting to at least see Chansey, Exeggutor, Alakazam, Golem, Starmie or Zapdos. There were some good picks like Gengar, Rhydon, Snorlax and Lapras though. but NO gen. 1 competitive team is complete without Tauros

[@FuriousFireDude]

I support Mystic decision because I love gen 1

[@The_One_In_Black]

I wish I knew about STAB in 1998.

[@andpeggy3987]

Oooh I actually would use this team

[@averytubestudios]

Blizzard should be on Mewtwo. 130 base power 80% accuracy 30% chance to freeze.

[@jebraxas5233]

Blizzard's accuracy in gen 1 was 90%, not 80%, which is all the more reason to use it on Mewtwo

[@AntoRetroGamer]

130 base power?

[@averytubestudios]

Anto RetroGamer or 110. I don’t remember.

[@patdav56]

Fun glitch, if you have a stone evolving pokemon in the front, switch to an onix, and have the onix level up, the stone pokemon will evolve. Never tried this so cant 100% confirm this, but it has something to do with onix and other pokemon sharing code with some of the stones is my guess. Look it up, it's a fun read at least 😛

[@Egppie.]

Tip: X accuracy + Nidoking:Horn Drill

[@diegorojas6497]

The thing i hated from red and blue is wrap because you cant attack at all

[@alexsafe1]

Maybe this question already been asked before, but most of this pokemon are not available until later in the game unless i trade from another game. So do I use the starter until then? Or any random pokemon?

[@VulturePilot]

My gen 1 team usually ends up consisting of Pidgeot Nidoking Gyarados/ Lapras Jolteon/ Raichu No matter what starter I pick

[@TyGuy427]

My blue team: - Blastoise - Raichu - Victreebel - Fearow - Hitmonlee - Ninetails

[@rembramlastname3631]

golem, weezing, gengar, machamp, charrizard, gyrados

[@mannyali7314]

In the remakes fire red and leaf green, i like mewtwo, snorlax, gengar, dragonite, arcanine and suicune.

[@danieluchihaofthesharingan2953]

Love your videos

[@Rabatzmacher]

Im looking forward to gen 4

[@TheFlyingPotato777]

MysticUmbreon didn't even put any set up moves on the snorlax!!!!!!!!! Amnesia on mewtwo instead of sub, recover instead of tbolt too. Also psyshock and psystrike are better than psychic.

[@InsanityForce]

Psyshock and Psystrike in Gen 1 ?

[@averytubestudios]

WE’VE GOT SHIRTS ON SALE.

[@jadenfiregaming]

Who just skips to the end to see the teams?

[@snapclub8751]

No Tauros and you didn’t even put Amnesia on Snorlax!?

[@francomoreira4222]

Snorlax amnesia is kinda tricky, because if you face something with double kick and a nice damage that outspeeds you (Tauros) it's pretty done, or a Hitmonlee, he just sets one or two meditate and a Hi-jump kick ends with all, or a dragonite, he just sets one agility and then wrap through all your team until is GG, (unless you have gengar)

[@ZxChrono]

Franco Moreira Hitmonlee is too frail, dies real easy. Fighting types just suck dick in gen 1.
