I’ve been playing Pokémon since 99, and Blacephalon has become one of my favorites for how its design balances the “character-based” designs of recent gens (think how Cinderace and others look like anime characters) while maintaining the inhuman vibe and mild cheekiness of older gens.

I think it helps that the ultra beast design philosophy lets it get away with more off the wall designs that would be out of place in the main Pokémon world. Additionally unlike the “character based”/jobmon design, the human based attributes or roles is not a dominant attribute either which is what made cases like Cinderace pretty bad while Passimian works well with a similar idea. the latter treats the rugby aspect as a tertiary extension to a trait that is common in many animal species especially the one that passimian is based on rather than the rugby aspect being the dominant trait to the design.

Fun fact: on pokemon showdown, there's a format called AAA, or "almost any ability". As the the name suggests, you can give a pokemon any ability within reason (no huge power or wonder guard, for example). In AAA, Blacephalon is absurdly broken. In AAA, Blacephalon runs Magic Guard, meaning that it receives no recoil from mind blown, and also negates stealth rock. Combined with knock off to remove the assault vest of regenerator pokemon, Blacephalon was banned for the fact that it was too powerful. The only counter is Flash Fire Blissey, which is a terrible and niche as it sounds.

For the next Ultra Beast covered, I’d recommend covering how Beast Boost worked. At least a few people were confused when, in the Naganadel video, you said Beast Boost would raise its Speed when it simply just boosts the UB’s highest stat, which, due to a Timid Nature, would indeed be speed for Naganadel. Some clarification as to why a stat is boosted would probably be welcome.

Fire fairy wouldnt be able to hit opposing fire types for at least neutral damage. Blacephelon has great coverage and fairy is a broken type, but in this case ghost is probably more viable as it can spam shadow balls instead of the otherwise wallable moonblast. Sure it would be great against Tyranitar, but thats considering the fact that mega charizard Y still existed in OU in gen 7 which would completely wall it. As well as Heatran which has the added benefit of hitting fire fairy blacephelon for super effective damage with iron head or smthn. Also heatran is immune to fire thanks to flash fire. I doubt the upsides are better than the downsides, hope that helps!

It’s 4th move was a great catch to any special wall wanting to wall it. Head smash. No one expects its base attack to be that good.

Blacephalon has not only become my favorite Alola Pokemon *and* my favorite Fire type Pokémon, but is literally in my top 3 of all time, beating Salamence, Tyranitar, Lugia, Aerodactyl, and Giratina. The only ones that it's third to are Hydreigon (2nd) and the Totodile line (1st)

Omg!! I’m so happy you’re doing Blacephalon!! One of my favorite Pokémon, and my favorite Ultra Beast!! 🤍🤍🤍 0:21 I don’t think it’s evil at all. It does that to survive, as it feeds on the surprise of others! It’s just a survival tactic! Also, my shiny, naturally Timid natured Blacephalon, actually has Hidden Power Grass!! Now if ONLY they would bring Hidden Power back so I could show it off 😭

Last Gen my Blace was one of my favorite mons to use. I ran Max speed with enough evs in attack so max rockfall from rock blast could OHKO gmax zard and heat wave flamethrower and shadow ball. Shadow ball was good for calyrex and flamethrower for all the steel types, mostly zacian

honestly wanted to see more gen 7 coverage.. i promise y’all Blacephalon was more instrumental to the tier than FSG makes it seem. ive seen countless sets in tourney- specs, scarf, sub Z, even weakness policy w stored power. it’s also a favorite partner for lele kart offense, dumpsters stall with taunt or trick, uses pursuit weakness as bait for free teammates setup, also gimmicky knock off or explosion sets which do lure and exploit special walls like a-muk, spdef pex, lefties tran, chansey, gastrodon. all in all blacephalons gen 7 story deserves more respect

Honestly, i gotta say i love using mind blown blacephalon in doubles Sw/Sh, i pair it up with a steam engine coalossil and use a power herb meteor beam. I want the blacephalon to die, so mind blown is absolutely perfect for letting my supporting units get a good switch in. Part of the reason is that blacephalon is immune to E-speed and resists grassy glide, and when scarfed it outspeeds most of the things that could threaten it. Worst case scenario i have alternate leads to take advantage of the mons that would want to lead into a coalossil blacephalon duo, one such mon being rillaboom (to try and take advantage of common water types). Most of the other mons i have use switching moves, like U-turn and Volt switch in order to get the heavier hitters on the field.

Blacephalon's got an awesome name and a really cool design concept. I just wish it had a different typing or a less concise movepool. You can't tell me this thing wasn't supposed to be half-Fairy at some point in the design.

I don’t get why Blacephelon has a base 127 attack stat when it mainly uses/knows special moves. It’s okay for special attackers to have low physical attack.

Realisticly putting those base points into another stat would have made it a little to strong

Well, its gimmick was that it was hyper offensive with awful defensive stats. But it also has to keep the same base stat total as other UBs; so either it has a decent secondary attack or its special attack becomes deoxys-A levels. Besides, physical or mixed blaceph wasn’t UNHEARD of in OU, since it got knock off and flame charge. Definitely not as good as scarf but it wasn’t an unset.

Probably due to how every UB (not counting Naganadel’s 121 speed stat and its BST of 540) has a stat value that is a prime number and they have a skewed stat distribution except Celesteela. How every UB must have a BST of 570 as well.
