Correction: Not the Chansey line. Just Chansey. Unlike the Stick/Leek (which is what it's called from gen 8 onwards, which is also when Sirfetch'd was introduced, so it's technically a different item), which works for both Farfetch'd and Sirfetch'd, the Lucky Punch only works for Chansey, not Happiny or Blissey.

Makes perfect sense to me.

[@StickMaster500]

Speaking of Arceus, we can't forget about the Legend Plate it gains in Legends: Arceus that they had to literally remove it one game later because of how busted it is to have Arceus transform into the most effective type and hit opponents super effectively ever single turn. My bet is this is how Terapagos's special form is gonna turn out and I'm scared.

[@Nmoment-uv6jc]

The legends plate falls into the cathegory of the teal mask, as it is an item that the pokemon uses in battle, it is exclusive for that pokemon but cannot be equiped as it is a key item

[@rex_melynas]

it's not a held item just because legend arceus doesn't have hold items thou. So all plates work that way.

[@adamreddick1349]

Pretty sure its a recreation of Conquest Arceus' Omnipotence ability, where it allows the thing to hit everything neutrally, while hitting a powerful AOE, while also having leftovers as an ability, among some other stuff

[@ivancruz8537]

Honestly I think they should've kept it because I think arceus being able to do that just makes total sense I don't think he should be balanced it's literally god

[@graylyhen9490]

They didn't remove it because it never saw any competitive play. It'd be like saying the battle system in LegArc was so OP that they had to change it back. It's a one off thing in a single player game

[@finnfiasco]

It’s such a shame Ditto’s items don’t persist after it transforms. It’s a cool concept, to mix powder in with the goop that is Ditto, to fortify it’s cellular structure.

[@matthewhintz5308]

Given that ditto copies the stats of its target, the powders persisting would also give ditto an edge in the mirror match to make up for taking a free hit turn one while it transforms. I just think it was a poor design choice to have them only affect untransformed ditto

[@twinleadersx8179]

Fun fact, in Gen 6 Triples, Stick Farfetch’d was paired with Anger Point Camerupt as a great synergistic supporter, in part (and most relevant in this case) because of it’s 100% crit Night Slash.

[@jmcbango]

Wouldnt anger point krookodile have been a better choice given its better stats and dark resistance?

[@twinleadersx8179]

@@jmcbango Farfetch’d is slower than Krookodile, so you couldn’t activate Anger Point and then attack turn one. For Krookodile, Super Luck Unfezant with Scope Lens was a better partner. Plus, since you want to run Camerupt under Trick Room, Farfetch’d was deliberately made lower level (Lv 33) to outspeed under Trick Room, so Night Slash did less damage anyway.

[@superspider64]

I'm like 99% certain the most used mask is going to be the fire mask, that shit takes Ogerpon's already high physical attack and her high powered Ivy Cudgel and then cranks it up to 12

[@destroyer4929]

And I can see water mask being used to counter urshifu cause water absorb

[@mohammadmurie]

Yeah fire mask is the best for her as it grants her the best typing for offense and defense, mold breaker to not worry about flash fire or unaware if running sword dance, when tera'd a free +1 to attack, plus same type tera type stab boost to fire moves, plus a 1.2x boost to all moves, and if on a sun team Ogerpon is just obliterating anything

[@captain_buggles]

And there's already a good pre-existing incentive to use a Sun team because of Past Paradoxes, who also don't have a Fire-type in their ranks. (even if I keep forgetting Slither Wing isn't a Fire-type) Meanwhile, Wellspring would be good in Rain for similar reasons, but kind of has higher opportunity cost imo, because Rain already has a bunch of strong, fast Water mons to stack with it

[@tinycandleman6020]

In defense of the ditto items, you arent really gonna have Impostor in a normal playthrough. You can give your ditto the option to take a hit better before it can transform, or make it able to transform faster. Thats not terrible if someone just wants to use a ditto on a casual playthrough, but it is prety useless when you have access to its hidden ability.

[@nousername191]

Fun fact: back in GSC Metal Powder was basically eviolite for Ditto even after it transformed. Sadly they fixed it as early as Stadium 2

Given that TB has no additional effects, it meant that originally the only Drive even remotely worth considering was Douse; since Genesect could already learn Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, and Ice Beam (but not Surf).

This has probably been mentioned before (considering that this is a mayor oversight that most people would notice) but you missed Lucky Punch, which happens to arguably be the most devastating signature item in the entire franchise! It is like the incredible Stick, but for a Pokemon that is already good! Here is my Chansey moveset from Smogon Gen 7 OU: Chansey @ Lucky Punch Adamant nature EVs: 212 Atk / 100 Def / 196 Spe Ability; Healer Tri Attack Last Resort HYPER BEAM (!!!!) Body Slam This set is really good. Yes, you lose out on the Eviolite buffs, but it is totally worth it. I beat my brother using this Chansey. The strategy is to use Body Slam and Tri Attack to status to opponent, and because one move is physical and the other is special, you can hit hard on both sides! And then when they least expect it, you can unless a DEVASTATING HYPER BEAM and blast their Pokemon to smithereens! And with the Lucky Punch a critical hit is almost guaranteed! I am not sure about Last Resort, but PS marks it as a good move for Chansey and PS is made my Smogon so who am I to question the pros? Just slap it on and use it, all Chansey other moves are garbage anyway. Also, there is this thing in Pokemon called STAB meaning "Super Top A-tier Buff" which gives great power and this Chansey gets it with ALL his moves! Just do not tell this to your friends because if you do they will complain! To round out this set is healer. In singles it has a chance to randomly change your Pokemon in a Pokegod like Pikablu. I have never seen it happen but my best friend has had it happen to him twice. Too bad that he deleted his save file with his Pokegods on it. The first time he got Pikablu and the second time he got Raikill, which is a Electric/Kill type Raichu which can instantly defeat any Pokemon. And yes, Kill is an actual type in the game. My friend says he deleted his save file because he did not like the Kill type.

[@MaximeLafreniere433]

Special shoutout to the Legend Plate, the first thing that might not even be legal in AG (after Funbro) if it makes it to a regular game, Arceus's newest special item. Arceus starts as a Normal Type. His judgement changes type depending of the target, it will aim for the opponent's weaknesses every use (Double-weakness if possible) while changing Arceus's type every time before the attack. Depending of the weaknesses, it will choose a type in particular to optimize the Defense, example: Psychic is weak to Dark, Ghost and Bug, it will change to Dark because of it's immunity to Psychic. So Arceus has a 120 STAB move that's always super-effective, meaning the move has a base power of 360 or 720 if the opponent has a double-weakness and he has 120 in every stat. Arceus only needs one move to have an almost guaranteed OHKO on the whole Dex and an optimal defensive type if he manages to survive, plus 3 free move slots. If you thought Mega-Rayquaza, Crowned Zacian (Gen 8) and Arceus Extreme-Killer were busted...

[@mohammadmurie]

Yeah Fire Ogerpon is definitely the best as it does the most damage and just does even more if placed on a sun team

[@Endershock1678]

I think they all have their uses. Fire is obviously a great sweeper, but the others aren't bad either. Grass has the speed and move pool to have a decent set. You can build it bulky and have it harass with follow me, Taunt, encore, or scary face. Water meanwhile is bulky, makes Urshifu's life miserable with follow me and water absorb, and can run a decent set overall. Rock is similar to water, but exchanges a good defensive typing for a good offensive spread with Rocky Cudgel.

[@PedroHenrique-vs3mf]

~I didnt feel like it~ is my mood from now on lol

[@EvilaRK3914]

Dude I so god agree with you on the topic of PHYSICAL ROCK TYPE MOVES ACCURACY I mean a landslide of rock coming straight at ya can miss wtf

[@mayac69]

Moxie Boosted not including Lucky Punch to farm comment engagement. I respect the hustle and will contribute to it.

[@RiderOmega]

It's important to note about Soul Dew that it is also an event only item. It's absolutely strong enough pre nerf to get banned for its powerlevel, but it was probably banned for being inaccessible.

[@FarhanH1]

Cool vid. No idea there were this many unique items lol

[@gomi7132]

another banger from my favorite snail enjoyer

[@Axelpvz2030]

I see 170 atck zacian with permantent + 1 attack really made something to you

[@ewantube4555]

Like the concept plus ogrepon is cute

[@brromo]

Genesect's also usually not Smogon legal for more then 6 minutes before he goes straight to OUBL again

[@johnpaulcross424]

Loved the doofenshmirtz reference

[@jesuisunstroopwafel]

Headphones that protect the holder from sound moves is a cool idea ! 🎧

[@thefinalskarm1754]

cool arceus facts you can also put a z-crystal as it's item and that will turn it into that type while also allowing BUGINIUM Z uhhh savage spinout? something like that.

[@9Destra]

Pokémon Cloud/Soil have a Pokémon called Glimmarine. It’s basically Genesect but a fish. It can hold a Scale to change the type of its signature Rainbow Beam. These scales also boost its Offenses and Defenses by 10%. They also introduced 2 100% accurate physical Rock moves. Rock Wheel and the Outrage clone Boulder Dash

"give em the stick!!!" "Dont give em the stick!!!" (Iykyk)

[@maximiliandeising5508]

Do you know my dad?

[@dancingllama2392]

Video idea: pokemon that don't use their higher offensive stat (like throat spray Kommo-o or fezandipiti)

[@Zwijger]

I fuck with you getting the order for "respectively" correct.

[@JoyDaBeast]

On the accurate rock moves topic, you didnt put it there but I guess ivy cudgel rock counts too?

[@stevenreckling203]

Every mega stone is technically a signature item.

[@Marco-fs9bs]

Fun fact the side effect on plates that changes arceus'styping is not even exclusive, in fact, in gen 7, normal z crystals can change arceus's typing, meaning that the only exclusive thing he had was judgment's typing changing with the type of the plate

[@d-anca3491]

I remember that Ditto Quick Sand was used when transform was a move and not an ability

[@Kepper2605]

Cornerstone Ivy cudgel is probably the best rock move there is atm. Yes its 20 power less than Rock Multi-attack but thats counted by the base 1.2 from the mask anyway as well as Ogerpon getting Sturdy to boot.

[@jesuisunstroopwafel]

Hey, I like Clamperl! I thought it looks cute, and it is a viable Shell Smash user in Smogon's Little Cup tier!

[@finnvaneekelen4966]

Small technicality, changing judgments type is not dependend on multitype as if a pokemon holding a plate pulls it through metronome it will be the type of that plate

[@lalilu3382]

deep sea tooth is actually viable with shell smash in lower smogon tiers (at least in gen7 where i made teams around it)

[@TheKingQazbatt]

light ball used to be the only way to get volt tackle on the pikachu line and did so through breeding giving it as an egg move.

[@beatrixxxkiddo]

Silvally is basically "we have Arceus at home"

[@AjaniGoldmaneFFXIV]

Does grass ogerpon get that 20% boost? Or only the fire water and rock versions of it?

[@videakias3000]

Only one of them breaks the game.

[@aquamarinerose5405]

I'll say I honestly LOVE me some Sirfetch'd. I remember using one in Sword and just thinking he was really neat. Admittedly the Speed problem is still an issue, though they've got enough ATK that if you can manage to hit something it's amazing.

[@MonoHerobrine]

It's amazing how many subscribers and views you've gain in such a short amount of time but you deserve every one of them. You put a lot of effort and research into your videos and I'm glad I was able to to find your great channel and gain new knowledge with your detailed and informative videos.

[@york3538]

Super cool video. I really like to hear about strange, situational, and admittedly forgettable items and combinations. Some of these items I either didn't put much mind into or didn't entirely understand how strong they could be (situationally of course). Like, +2 crit chance on the stick?! I thought it was just +1... Wild. I'm also running a Pokemon tabletop with some friends. Now I wanna see how they'll fair vs a clamperl with the tooth. No promises though.🤣

[@zinzolin14]

I thought Embody Aspect only boosts _one_ of Ogerpon's stats, a different one depending on the mask held rather than all of them at once. Is this not correct?

[@okeytay4]

Hearing about Ogerpon's item for the first time makes it literally sound like some fan game item. That's freaking nuts how many mechanics/buffs are at play with that thing.

[@superfrubblez6123]

Rip signature Z crystals tho they only existed for one gen so I get it

[@TheRichmaster24]

I had not realised that Ogerpon was quite that busted
