There are 4 "z" moves, and 2 of them are not even functional in Scarlet and Violet. So the lesson is NEVER choosing "z", "y", "q", "n", "k", or "j",; those letters won't do any good in moves nor abilities.

[@hanakoisbestgirl4752]

Choose your starter but alphabetically. Your ability has to start with the letter after your starter, and your moves the same with each move after the previous move. If you get say arceus, your ability has to start with B so say beads of ruin. First move C so close combat, 2nd move D so dig, 3rd move E so explosion, 4th move F so final gambit. Also your ability has to start with the letter your starter name ends with, 1st move with the letter the ability ends with, 2nd move the letter the 1st move ends with, 3rd move the letter the 2nd ends with, and 4th move the letter the 3rd move ends with. Example being Arceus starter, ability swarm, 1st move mach punch, 2nd move headbutt, 3rd move triple kick, 4th move knock off. Both could be cool and really make you think

[@111games.]

The letters you want to avoid are K, Q, U, X, Y, and Z. None of them even have four functional moves to choose from. J and O have only five moves to choose from, but at least they're all pretty good. Jump Kick/Jet Punch/Jaw Lock/Jungle Healing with Justified is a competent physical attacker, while Overheat/Overdrive/Origin Pulse/Order Up with Orichalcum Pulse is a killer special attacker. Definitely don't double up on either.

I thought of a format based off on this idea + one i saw Pat and Shady do You get to know the starting letter of the pokemon, other person get to BAN one of the pokemon (thats just like the one pat and shady did) Here is my change The pokemon that got banned gives your pokemon a single move in their letter or an ability in their letter Giving a little bit more room for picking pokemon with letters that have bad abilities or if you arent careful with the banning you might end up banning a Dragonite and then give a swampert, speed boost, swords dance, substitute and drain punch Not super broken but gives an extra layer to the picking and choosing side of the video

[@packofweaviles1027]

I'm confused on why these games include moves and abilities from Pokemon not in the game for example King's Shield and Parental Bond. Mega Kangaskhan hasn't been in the game since ORAS so why is the ability even available. I swear if Gamefreak removed unused assets like that they would have more space to make the games better
