West For lols they did

[@marzbar5877]

Yeah, but only like 10 points, which usually is not enough. Not to mention that sometimes those 10 points go to a stat that won’t even matter for most mons. Take Staraptor. It got 10 points in frickin Special Defense. Seriously? If those 10 points went to Speed, Staraptor would be in OU, easily. But no, it got 10 points in a stat that it wasn’t using to begin with. Another example is Wigglytuff, who got 10 points in Special Attack. Sure, that’s nice, but that’s not NEARLY enough. Either give it 20+ points in Sp. Atk or buff up its defenses so that its massive HP actually means something.

[@Dragrath1]

@@marzbar5877 Yeah especially when some of these buffed mons still have total BST's only in the mid 400's or less Wigglytuff for instance still has a measly 435 BST which is less than most intermediate stage Pokemon and on par with typical first route mons. I'd say it would be reasonable to give it say another +10 special attack, +30 Special Defense so it would be comparable to Clefable +20 defense, or if you want to keep it one dimensional defense wise, +20 attack to make it viable mixed since it actually has a good physical move pool.

I suggest we get a "HOW GOOD WERE THESE MONS AT GEN 7?", where you revisit every pokemon that you have analyzed already but only up to gen 6 (from charizard to jumpluff), making this video before Gen 8 comes out would be neat. Probably after VGC worlds is over (in a few days)

[@UltrabotUltimus]

Maybe he could do multiple pokemon for that type of video?

[@jamesw2831]

Yeah a quick fire "how good" for a lot of the Pokemon already done before the Gen 7 meta developed would be great.

[@PumPuum]

@@UltrabotUltimus Thats the point, Im suggesting him to take every pokemon from his first vid (charizard) all the way until Jumpluff, which was the last video that ignored Gen 7, in a single video where he quickly mentions how each one did in Gen 7.

Natural Harmonia Gropius After a pkmn gets a mega, FSG mainly covers that. And briefly covers the original form. However with Giratina, they are two forms with very different play styles. On top of that, they are both in the same tier and we’re very influential in that respective tier (Ubers)

[@shady4091]

*flinched and couldn't move*

[@cartergamegeek]

A very common gen 7 idea is Special Defense and HP with Wish and Stealth Rock. It has one really good passive ability to check a lot of mixed and Special Attack users in OU so you see it a good bit now because people like using U-Turn and Iron Head mixed with Wish and Protect or some Stealth Rock setting sets. This lets you work bulk into stopping a few good hard hitting Pokemon. Tapu Lele is a good Pokemon this kind of thing helps combat. Plus some people using the Healing Wish set idea with Special Defense and HP have a good stop gap to break down a Pokemon then heal your big hitter and turn the game around. Old Choice Scarf sets also work well as a cleaner but the better idea is some passive combo set.
