I like how, for all the mocking Gigalith got in the weather section, it was still treated better than Vanilluxe who wasn't mentioned at all.

[@Endershock1678]

Vanilluxe saw some use as a Hail setting in 2017 and 2020, it’s just Hail was uh… not very good, and neither were the Pokémon that benefitted from it.

[@joshuakim5240]

@@Endershock1678 It also didn't help that Alolan Ninetails overshadowed it so hard in every way imaginable that it getting Snow Warning ended up being redundant.

[@axlr8deathpls294]

​​@@joshuakim5240Tales and vanilluxe have completely different niches, van is mainly an offensive Mon that is typically a scarf blizzard bot while tales is an aurora veil bot. It didn't "overshadow" vanilluxe because they played completely differently except tails' niche was easier to build around and overall much better compared to vanilluxe. Also "Overshadowed in everyway" is completely wrong. Vanilluxe's main niche was it's high special attack able to fire off strong blizzards with a choice scarf which was something Ninetails could not replicate at all as tails' special attack stat was dog and their blizzards hit like a wet noodle.

[@DemonRaticate]

Also Gamefreak: Here you go Heatmor. A signature move that is 80 base and guarantees a Defense Drop. Oh and since you’re not here in SV, lets give it to Salazzle (a special attacker) instead.

[@zealotoftheorchard9853]

​@@DemonRaticateIt doesnt fit flareon though. Fire Lash fits pokemon with Long Fire Tongue

[@DemonRaticate]

@@zealotoftheorchard9853 I am more talking about how they randomly decided to give Heatmor a signature Fire move when that could have been generic… then gave it to Salazzle which will never use it. And technically the move states “The user strike the target with a burning lash”. No mention of tongue, so Flareon could just create a fire whip out of its mouth or tail. One of the definitions of the word Lash is the of a swift movement such as the wagging of a tail.

I'm still surprised that Zamazenta didn't get Body Press in gen 8 Like they really said "let's make a _Fighting_ type box legendary that's focused on _Defense,_ and also add a new _Fighting_ type move that uses the user's _Defense_ for damage. No that Pokemon isn't getting that move, what are you talking about?"

[@tysondennis1016]

I once saw a video going over Zamazenta and they said something along the lines of it being robbed of getting King's Shield and Body Press. So imagine if they'd allowed that

[@rooislangwtf]

1:42 the real crime was making Behemoth Bash not use defense for damage calcs. I personally also think both doggos signature attacks should've dealt some bonus damage (maybe not double lol) to Tera mons so that it could still have a secondary effect.

Sacred Sword is really fitting for a knight Pokemon

[@GrandDuchessTaco]

"Your favorite Pokémon sucks" Yeah, but it's spherical!

[@CJdoesntlikehandles]

the reason the ones with stat buffs dont succeed is because they give it like 10 hp and they call it a day i really hope they do *anything* for watchog (they made it have the same ability twice because of the illuminate rework for modern games)

[@goGothitaLOL]

20-25 at most, and they usually only buff one stat at a time and then never again And you wanna know which mon got the most stat buffs ever? Masquerain who got 20+ in both Sp. Atk (80 > 100) and Spe (60 > 80) for a grsnd total of 40+ added to its BST. And the mon is still ass in both formats.

Ironically, M-Ray actually does suck compared to Gen8-9 giga-broken legendaries. If the usual official tournament ruling for 1 legendary pokemon ever included M-Ray with pokemon's current roster, no one would choose it over Zacian, Zamazenta, Regileiki, Miraidon, Koraidon, or Urshifu. Never thought i would ever say that and it feels cursed asf to do so.

tHATS TOO MUCH... BUT i woulf make something interesting... like a defense Heavy Slam... that dobles the damange if the pokemon is bigger that way Zamacenta can still use only the defense stat, but the Attack is the one that uses Behemoth Bash But makes sense as it can BASH agaist bigger foes, wich is what it originally did Also lets give a buff To Zacian, it makes me a bit sad how bad it is now maybe something like Behemoth Blade takes the Ofensive stat that deals more damange... like Terablast and it counts both Attack and Special attack buffs

Moxie Boosted: Let me know if i forgot something... My boy Vanilluxe WAS NOT EVEN MENTIONED!!! It got Snow Warning in Gen 7, making him a pretty decent pick to play Hail... why pick Vanillux instead of Alolan Ninetales? sheer offense! Vaniluxe had a bigger special attack and while it was not fast enough to outspeed Garchomp like Ninetales, it was a good choice Scarf user with 110 Special attack the same as Blaziken and Salamence and way more than Alolan's Ninetales mediocre base 81 Special Attack if your team was Hyper offense you can use Vanilluxe as the Ice spamming machine it had a stronger Blizzard and Freeze Dry while it was not a top tier, it had pretty decent results during sun and moon and there is always the hope Gamefreak makes another regional format where Vanilluxe can shine... some day tiny boy... Some day

[@levievil9220]

There’s a problem with your logic vaniluxe is a pure ice type while alolan nine tails is a ice and fairy type so while it may be slightly stronger it’s own type doesn’t help it plus with fairy being one of the best offensive type in the game adding it to the glass cannon type of ice and boom it’s a nuke

[@marcelosandoval8719]

@@levievil9220 Tell that to Ricardo Pinto, who took Vanilluxe to the top 10 at the Battle spot Also designed Vanilluxe to outspeed Adamant Pheromosa And remember how Articuno was able to win a mayor with only ice moves? Vanilluxe did that first! Blizzard, Freeze Dry, Icy wind and Sheer Cold For the exact same prupose as Articuno And the same type of Vanilluxe ended high on the Dutch open at top 4 and 5 And it even had Hidden power ground in later appereances to deal with ground weak Pokémon like Togedemaru, Alolan Sandlash and Arcanine And in Gen 8 it had Aurora Veil with a Focus Sash being again in the top 20 on many tournaments However it was outclassed by G-Max Lapras But with Dynamax gone it can again be a good alternative for Alolan Ninetales and Abomasnow

@@levievil9220 Yeah it was a niche pick but one with actual offerings and not just a worst alolan ninetales After all Sure Moonblast is really strong But you don’t want to spam Moomblast with an 81 special Attack And The best Dragons in the format, Dragonite, Garchomp and Salamence are x4 times weak to ice So if you want to hit them you probably want to use Ice instead of fairy The stronger Freeze dry is also a nice addition to deal with bulkier Gastrodons and Mega Swamperts

[@BreadBup]

Another (very minor) Buff was given to Illumise in Gen 9. It's now the only Pokemon that has access to both Prankster and Attract, which works really well in combination with Thunder Wave and Encore, as it allows it to practically shut down any opposing Male Pokemon, which may not sound all that good, but that wouldn't be taking into account that common Threats like Rillaboom and especially the Genies are more often than not Male. Obviously this is a very minor Buff, and a Niche of a very niche Pokemon, but as the #1 Illumise Fan™ I've got to keep Track of even the most minor of Buffs it gets. Still praying that they give it (and Volbeat for that Matter) String Shot back though, they really need it.

I have some mad love for Zamazenta. I bought Pokemon Shield while I was living in Beijing, and the differences between the game-exclusive pokemon in Sword and Shield really highlighted the differences in taste between the East and West. Like, I'd pre-ordered Sword, but because of the protests going on in Hong Kong at the time, my shipment had been delayed, so one of my Chinese friends did some digging and found a game shop that had gotten a small shipment of SwSh in on time. I thought everyone would be clamoring for Pokemon Sword because everything I read online from Western sources was like "why would I want Galarian Ponyta or Zamazenta when I can get Sir'Fetched and Zacian?" But the sticker price on Shield was actually higher at the game store because the Chinese audience REALLY wanted Ponyta (小火马) instead. Because I'd already pre-ordered Sword, I ended up buying Shield and began my first playthrough on Shield, so Zamazenta was the first legend from Galar that I'd received. It sucked that it was so mid competitively. I'm enjoying using my Zam now that it's playable, though. :)

"Your favorite pokemon sucks" Mimikyu: spdef is higher than attack, no Poltergeist, disguise got nerfed in gen 8

Decidueye getting his HA in Long Reach… was good for a small while and i love muh boi

[@goGothitaLOL]

Most people think Long Reach is a mediocre signature ability that doesn’t do much for Decidueye

[@last_dutch_hero258]

@@goGothitaLOL In pricipe, yes long reach seems useless, but in realality its much better IMO. No Rocky helmet chip, no flame body burn. Alot of detrimental on-hit things dont affect decidueye anymore and it's quite good... If nly Decidueye was a better pokemon man...

I can't believe you didn't include wind rider Shiftry in this list.

See it might not help in VGC but as someone who plays pokemon DND I’m really happy my favorite pokemon Sceptile got Shed Tail. It’s literally just Naruto’s substitution Jutsu.

I think one topic I'd like you to talk about would be if some of the older moves that were cut would be viable in today's meta. Some mud sport and water sport action against these miraidon and koraidons, snatching those boosts or recovery, pursuit on Incin and Chien-pao. Hone claws for precipice blades. Power-up-punch on Urshifu or Annihilape. Etc😅

"Your favorite Pokemon sucks." As a professional Snorlax enjoyer, this hit hard.

Which is funny since it was a menace in gen 7
