Why thunderbolt zippy zap is way better

[@numberii300]

Reagan’s awesome Vlogs Zippy zap has 75 power cause it’s always a crit. Zippy zap is also a physical. Thunderbolt has 90 power and 100% accuracy. Thunderbolt is also a special. Thunderbolt is just a better move overall.

hey man i've got a question is it good to have a dodrio instead of snorlax and if so is it found late in the game? also what about blastoise instead of starmie

[@CoolinDude]

I think for Pikachu’s moveset: Zippy Zap would work better than Thunderbolt since it always results in a Critical Hit and always goes first.

[@penoypower]

CoolinDude critical hits only deal 1.5x damage. Overall Zippy Zap is still weaker than thunderbolt. Priority doesn’t matter since partner pikachu got a major buff in speed

[@CoolinDude]

penoypower good point, I guess I just like to be reassured that my move will go first with a combo of priority and an OP speed stat

[@serpent2776]

Pikachu has higher physical attack though.

[@pergrineheel3018]

@@penoypower But Pikachu's Physical Attack is better than its Special. I say that both can work well though depending if you're fighting a Physical Defensive, or Special Defensive pokemon. I think my moveset would be: Thunderbolt Splishy Splash Floaty Fall/Dig Zippy Zap

[@jackholland6013]

Zippy Zap would be better if your Pikachu happens to have a nature that either decreases special attack or increases physical attack as that would make up for the difference in power between the two moves, not that it's really that big of a deal considering how easy the games are but if we're talking about the best possible move then that would be a factor

thx, this helped a lot. I was using a PokemonGO "mentality" and ended up with Alakazam, Gyarados, and Gengar instead of Scyther, Snorlax, and Starmie (other 3 were the same). My concern was Mega-Evolutions, using my favorites from the mobile game I xferred over, and covering all bases. But your thought process and research into NPC battles was thought provoking and made more sense in the long run. Keep up the good work!

[@synysterdawn8913]

Why use Thunderbolt for Pikachu when you can just use Zippy Zap and Pika Papow? Zippy Zap gives an extremely strong, STAB priority attack on the physical side and Pika Papow covers the special side without taking up a move slot and is stronger than Thunderbolt.

You can get flamethrower TM pretty early as well.

Takes a little work, but is worth it if you want early access to a good fire move 👍🏽

[@gdappleberry2765]

@@Leynirp Wow, thanks for the helpful reasoning and logic, but Pikachu could have easily won if A) you teach Pikachu brick break instead of iron tail, B) if they'd actually taken into account how good Pikachu is against a lot of the trainers, specifically the abundance of trainers using water and flying type pokemon (also, you may argue that Eevee has buzzy buzz but no one wants to teach Eevee moves before every other fight), and C) they evaluated them both based on if you were to only use that specific pokemon, which no one casually playing through the game would do. But, yeah, you're probably right, Eevee is still better for the simple reason that Pikachu is "overrated". Oh, and also, move pools aren't that important when you can't have eight moves at once, it's better to, I don't know, have four really good moves? Just guessing.

Why teach Nidoking Icebeam and Thunderbolt. If you aim for a attack boosting nature, you're better off with Thunder and Ice Punch instead.

[@amazingspidermew]

SolusSylvari plus all elemental punches are gotten much sooner than ice beam. If one is willing to grind growlithe until it gets flare blitz because Arcanine's attack is 5 pts higher you can just give nidoking his physical moves. This isn't FR/LG anymore and Sheer force isn't a thing after all

[@SolusSylvari]

@@amazingspidermew I dont give Arcanine Flare blitz, I run a Modest or Timid nature and use Flamethrower, or i use a neutral nature and use a mix of physical and special attacks. With the loss of Morning sun flare blitz just isnt worth it imo. Its great on Mega Charizard X though with access to Roost.

[@aBatwoman]

Thunder is a hit and miss I'd rather use something that can always hit like thunderbolt. Ice beam is stronger than ice punch.

[@SolusSylvari]

@@aBatwoman I meant Thunder Punch, and the whole point of my comment is the fact that the two punch moves are stronger than Ice Beam and Thunderbolt on Nidoking due to his increased attack stat and lower Special attack stat.

[@SolusSylvari]

@THE OFFICIAL Meloetta Channel No matter the gen i would still recommend getting physical moves on Nidoking. His attack stat is higher and there is a much greater effect to damage by boosting Attack rather than getting Special attack to catch up to it. If Special Attack and Attack were closer like they are on Arcanine then i'd say sure.. boost the Special attack and run a mixed set.

So far I have my Pikachu but since it's not the starter I evolved it, I also have my Nidoking, Pidgeot and Venusaur, currently going for Magikarp to get the Gyarados and I'm going for Ponyta last because it's easy to catch and when you hit excellents and quick throws you get a TON of XP which is nice for Gyarados because of it's slow level up.

I haven't thought of using Nidoking, Scyther nor Starmie on my main team, instead focusing on all the "classic" Kanto starters, but I do notice not being able to sweep some of the Team Rocket match ups. I'll rework my team once I have all 3 starters evolved. I may even consider importing Alakazam via Go Park. Also there are only 5 Pokemon in this vid. I assume you want to keep Venusaur for the grass coverage since you raved about it in the Eevee Vid. :)

[@BluDr3w]

There are technically 7 Pokémon in this vid Pikachu, snorelax, alakazam, starmie, scyther, arcanine, and nidoking He goes over all the move sets of them

[@ZygardeHM]

My team again is currently and the reasons I have them 1. Mewtwo: it’s mewtwo need I say more 2. Mew: I got it with pokeball plus so why not? 3. Venasaur: caught it in veridian forest so why not a starter 4. Eevee: my starter 5. Aerodactyl: I need a Pokémon to fly 6. Articuno; I need a legendary

[@fitzfear6076]

"I need a legendary", you already bnb have mew and mewtwo

[@HB.14]

And you wouldn’t need mew and mewtwo on the same team at the same time lol bad team because of types you have lots of the same types

Moves for Arcanine: Flamethrower/Flare blitz Outrage Crunch Play Rough

[@ypob2007]

Outrage is not that good, you should dragon breath on something like a dragonite, because outrage acts as a sticky web because you cannot change pokemon plus you get confused

[@BlueJay.42]

12:23 Alakazam can’t learn thunderbolt so u use dazzling gleam for extra coverage

[@Randomguy-sn1yz]

I think it was a mistake and he meant Dazzling Gleam.

[@oliverdavies5233]

My team for this game RECENTLY was -Pikachu -Scyther -Dragonite -Snorlax -Starmie -Arcanine

[@Talkingactivies]

why dragonite and arcanine instead of a more diverse pokemon?

[@harana5595]

Charizard is way better. WTF are you talking about? You can teach it flamethrower while fighting Team Rocket in Zafron City. Plus, it has two megas. It loses its weakness to electric attacks while in its Mega Charizard X form (BST 634). Not to mention it learns Flare Blitz at level 75.

[@zungerar]

Mine is Pikachu, Arcanine, Snorlax, Pidgeot, Vileplume (probably my MVP) and Golduck

[@MisterSleep1123]

Nuptup

[@dontlookatmyprofilepic7567]

Gera Zúñiga honestly, Vileplume is so slept on

[@TheSLATEcleaner]

Scyther, like I said about Pinser in the Eevee video, is not a good choice for this game. There are, in total, *only six solo* Psychic types in the game - Alakazam in Blue Gym rematch, Sabrina 1, and Sabrina Rematch (Alakazam dies to a limp slap from any unresisted stab physical attack even when Mega Evolved); Hypno in Sabrina 1 and Rematch (dies to non-stab physical dark moves, which Arcanine already covers), and Mewtwo in post-game (though this is a six-on-one fight, you could beat it by literally sending in one pokemon with Toxic then stalling by feeding your party pokemon to it without attacking back). Beyond this, Scyther can hit dual-types, sure, but these are Executor (you have Arcanine and Snorlax's Fire Punch for that already), Mr. Mime (super fragile, you again have Arcanine and Snorlax for it), Starmie and Slowbro (you have Starmie for that, since it resists both stabs while hitting with non-stab Thunderbolt), and Jynx (dies to a stiff breeze). Defensively, Scyther is a nightmare. It resists Fighting, granted, but that's relevant for exactly Bruno, who packs Onix, Thunderpunch on Hitmonchan, etc. to make that a bad decision. What you're left with is a pokemon that isn't particularly good against any of the elite four (the champion has two decent matchups for Scyther in Slowbro and Marowak, but Starmie is better against them due to its resistances and stab Scald vs Marowak). It resists Bug, the least common attacking type in the game among the hard fights, and Grass, which is relevant for the easiest gym in the game (Erica's) when you already have dedicated Fire on the team. Scyther should be replaced. More controversially, Snorlax should also be replaced. Snorlax should be replaced simply because there's a better option for the same role you can catch earlier in the game in Kangaskhan, which can learn [Crunch/Earthquake/Ice Punch/any physical stab] and, while overall having overall worse stats, is much faster (important in a game were Speed is the most important stat). Then, post-game, it gains a mega that pushes it past Snorlax in non-HP and Special Defense when you don't currently have any mega bait on the team. Scyther's replacement is a bit more tough, but the best idea is probably to replace it with something that can take the load off Starmie. This video doesn't really give it enough weight, but Starmie can solo the Elite Four with the listed moveset and beats every Gym rematch in the post-game besides Lt. Surge and Sabrina (it outspeeds Erica's team with super effective Ice Beam or super effective stab Psychic). Frankly, it could be anything good really to take the pressure off, but the bias should be toward a pokemon that's good vs Lorelei. Unlike partner Eevee (a great support), partner Pikachu is super squishy and unreliable, so that fight in particular is rough if your Starmie gets meme'd. One I happen to like is a +Speed nature Clefable. Poison weakness is rough in gen 1 for obvious reasons, but having [Moonblast/Shadow Ball/Calm Mind/Thunderbolt] is too good of a set to not try making it work. Clefable gets bonus points for helping with Lance, having neutral coverage for mixed-type fights, and for Moonblast doing work in the early game after getting it at level 28 with Clefairy. Stats are bad but passable, and being able to fit universal coverage into three moves while hitting critical types super effective to open space for Calm Mind is a huge boon.

[@TheFillo2000]

I have some indecisions about the composition of my team created using as a base mystic team and I would like to have your advice since you seem very prepared I was thinking about pikachu, nidoking, arcanine/charizard, snorlax/kangaskhan/machamp, alazakam and as the last pokèmon I just wouldn't know who to use a gyarados for example?

[@ryan-xp9lc]

Zippy zappy? Floaty fall? Did they run out of names for moves ?

I had a bit of a problem with Arcanine I had evolved the growlithe before it was level 28 Any substitutes for Crunch

[@Randomguy-sn1yz]

Well I dunno a move that counters psy and ghost I guess.

[@g-Rex_a_saurus_rex]

ok thanks for the help I guess

[@Randomguy-sn1yz]

I wonder if you can get bite? It's like crunch.

Why not evolve clefable into clefairy

Any replacements for snorlax? Because I can't him anywhere since I already tried to catch him with the poke flute but then he ran away

[@MunchlaxMunchlax]

If you can download Pokémon go/ if you have it already, there is an event going on rn where snorlax are literally everywhere with guaranteed catch rate that you can transfer via fuchsia city zone

[@smgofdvld]

Watching this in my let's go trick or treating gear 😀👍

[@ilikebreadok.9795]

I evolved growlith to early so I got shadow ball on my nidoking instead of thunder bolt because Pikachu has it anyways but I still won the game it was just harder what would u do if u evolved growlith too early?

[@dmatthewgiles]

Thanks for the great video! A lot of useful information to make a well rounded, strong team. I just have a question. I know some ppl don't have it but how do you feel about Mew on the team?

[@miguelmontoya5830]

Or mewtwo?

[@biohazard4398]

Sparks-(pikachu)m Ruby-(dragonite)f Azula-(lapras)f Krypto-(arcanine)m Smashing-(nidoking)m Grande verde-(venasuar)m

[@teixhighlights]

thanks for this it was very helpful, I just swapped nidoking for nidoqueen bc I prefer nidoqueen and I'm pretty sure it has the same tm moves so yea

[@Randomguy-sn1yz]

Nidoqueen has more Defence, Sp Defence and HP while Nidoking has more Attack, Sp Attack and Speed. Nidoqueen is a good tank and Nidoking is a good sweeper. And yes Nidoqueen can learn all the TM moves that Nidoking would learn in this team.

[@robertfinnegan1829]

If you could have put Gengar on the list what moveset would you recommend?

[@C.Ezra.M]

About 5:00, you mentioned that Nidoking is good for defeating Trace except for Marowak. But know that Ground is weak to Ice.

[@danyyson]

Thanks brother! Appreciate your time really good video !

If anyone didn’t know this you can find psychic in a house by the poke center and saffron city

[@ninjasquirrel2206]

I only used Pikachu like I literally never had to use my other Pokémon

[@pokemonmaster0079]

Ditto that, except I had Eevee and just changed her (mine was a female) Move Tutor moves every time I had a big battle coming up.

[@yaboimeelo9785]

I boxed my starter Pikachu for a normal Pikachu. My reason is Raichu and I personally dont care for the added range options. Amazing moves, but it sort of creates a disconnect for me when I see Pikachu surfing and killing an onix/rhydon etc.

[@Randomguy-sn1yz]

Partner also has max IVs and boosted stats.

Would be cool to see a video with a team that does not use eevee or pikachu in the team. I generally do not use them because I cannot evolve them, so it would be a neat twist.

How can i get crunch on arcanine if im already passed the lvl

Mystic u can also get flamethrower in saffron city in sylph co on the 10th floor but it's still pretty late

You would get it by level up by then anyway.
