11: Hydreigon (It isn't called the Brutal Pokemon for nothing.) 10: Dragapult (already dead, isn't in heaven. Also throws its own children as a weapon.) 9: Tyranitar (According to Pokedex entries, it has an "insolent" demeanor.) 8: Salamence (Goes on uncontrollable rampages despite achieving its greatest wish. Quite ungrateful, if you ask me.) 7: Metagross (It's a very pragmatic hunter, and its mega form creates "battles so cruel, they'll make you want to close your eyes". It also has the intelligence to be capable of great evil.) 6. Baxcalibur (We don't have enough Pokedex entries to make any real judgement. Though it's not a bad Pokemon, it's partially based on Godzilla, who in one incarnation goes to Hell. 5. Kommo-O (Toss-up between it and Garchomp, as they're both animals trying to survive and not nececarily evil. I rank it a bit lower because it also uses intimidation tactics when hunting.) 4.Garchomp (It's just an animal that hunts to survive.) 3. Hisuian Goodra (Barely any pokedex entries on it, its only real trait is that it's clingy.) 2. Kalosian Goodra (Very friendly and cuddly.) 1. Dragonite (Reportedly saves drowning sailors and those lost at sea. It also has human intelligence, meaning that it likely has the free will to get into heaven as well.)

[@aquashuriken1634]

@zm2mad9 my thoughts are similar, but slightly different 11. Hydreigon (brutal pokemon) 10. Tyrannitar (destroys lands so badly maps have to be redrawn afterwards) 9. Metagross (one of the few Pokémon capable of evil due to its intelligence) 8. Salamence (the rampage it goes on) 7. Baxcalibur (not much info on the actual pokemon) 6. Garchomp (in the middle because its more animalistic, neither good nor bad) 5. Kommo o (doesn't target weaker Pokémon, so seems a bit honourable) 4. Dragapult (cares for weaker Pokémon, also it's children enjoy being launched out so it seems more like just an instinct than an act of cruelty) 3. H. Goodra (not much info, but seems affectionate to people) 2. Goodra (affectionate to peoole) 1. Dragonite (saves people)

If you want a real sense of how strong Hydreigon is, Hoopa-Unbound came out in Gen 6 and was absolutely destroying Singles OU, while Hydreigon was reigning as king of UU, the tier below. When Hoopa-Unbound was banned from OU, people began looking for a Special Attacker who could pick up where Hoopa left off. Turns out, Hydreigon fit into that slot perfectly, performing the same role without being overwhelming and even being superior in some places. Pursuit completely ripped through Hoopa-Unbound's low Defense, while Hydreigon both resisted the move and had decent Defense to make it even tougher to get rid of without a Fairy type, and Fairy types always feared a Flash Cannon on the switch, making up Hoopa's STAB Psychic. Mega Metagross got banned in Gen 7 from OU because of the Mega Speed and Ability Boost. Megas got their new Speed Stat on the first turn and their ability as well, so Mega Metagross immediately began hitting harder and was faster than before, making it unhealthy for Singles. But yeah, Mega Mawhile and Mega Khanga were banned back in Gen 6 without that, so I guess it was more fair in Doubles where those two also thrived, same with Mega Salamance. Dragonite is definitely a stronger Singles Pokémon, as Multiscale is not as good in a Doubles format due to double targetting breaking the ability and leaving it vulnerable for the next move.

From the dlc storyline and even the mechanic itself being so well balanced I think there is a chance terrastilization stays as a permanent mechanic. Unlike dynomax, megas, and Z moves, Terra is used by way more Pokémon, is less centralized in its role, and offers more versatility and strategies. We have seen plenty of traditionally bad Pokémon become amazing off the mechanic. Even with the damage buff helping offensive threats it’s more commonly being used defensively.

My fella here is just saying "I read it wrong for a while". Haven't we all made that kind of mistake once?

[@RBGolbat]

0:24 I will never miss a chance to complain about the fact that Bulbapedia includes how much experience the Pokémon needs a level 100 to be a pseudo, legendary, when it doesn’t remove any Pokémon from the list and it’s just something they all share. If a future game had a 600 bat second stage Pokémon that had a different level of experience at level 100 no one would care and still call it a suit of legendary.

[@CabbageMuncher13]

Well no because of the two-stage.

[@RBGolbat]

@@CabbageMuncher13 Sorry, I had the TCG terminology in my head where it’s basic,stage one, stage two

[@maromania7]

So far it seems pokemon even has an internal name for them, as every pseudo legendary to get a raid has had the internal designation of "Powerhouse Pokémon," and was used for a merch line with the pseudos as well. So even if they did care, just gotta wait for a raid.

[@rooislangwtf]

"no one would care and still call it a suit of legendary" - SSR typo

[@edmg7]

Um, about that, the Japanese fans consider Archaludon to be part of this group because they only look at the 600 base stat total and ignore that it has only two stages and requires 250k less experience. So yes, there are some fans arguing over those qualifications (albeit not making the biggest fuss over it).

[@KVO723]

Wow I’m suprised Kommo-o was outclassed by Goodra when it seemed to be genuinely pretty good earlier this gen. I guess grouping the two together will do that

[@NickoStall2]

It really wasn't, Wolfey just massively undersold USUM Kommo-o, no Goodra was ever as popular as it was back then

[@Quix0tic707]

This year marks the first time since it got Intimidate that Incineroar didn’t win Worlds. In fact, in the Master’s Division, not one of the top 8 teams featured an Incineroar.

Dropping a video this High quality every week.while playing Pokemon competitively is insane..keep it up wolfe😊😊

[@hseanhill]

Hey Wolfe. Really enjoy your series on who was the best Pokémon of a group from history, but on a video like this with a top 10 + most having already been on your other lists I think I'd be really cool if we got to hear YOUR thoughts on the power of these Pokémon outside of regional mechanics.

[@pfs1373]

I just wanna say the quality of these videos are actually unreal. You and the team deserve all the success of this channel and much more. Keep up the amazing work!

[@NeightrixPrime]

When Wolfey says "competitive" he means Nintendo official competitive.

[@petrie911]

To be fair, vgc has been the better competitive format for a while now. Rocks and offense creep just made singles too unbalanced without tons of bans.

[@NeightrixPrime]

@@petrie911 True

[@agent3689]

​@@petrie911 Makes me wonder; would there be a lot of outrage if Smogon one day decided to ban Stealth Rock? It is extremely unlikely, given that Stealth Rock has been a central element of their metagame for so long, and they only make bans for things that are too overcentralizing, and there isn't enough support for banning Stealth Rock.

I am never scared of a dragonite that should tell you how good it is.

It takes 2:55 for incineroar to appear in a video about pseudolegendaries

[@brabhamF1]

Tyrannitar also kind of has the Incineroar thing going on, where if you ever need a sand setter and TTar is available, there’s no point in really considering anything else. Except that TTar is a support Pokemon that has well, the stats of TTar.

"It was just like, the 🐐🤷." Is the perfect description of Tyranitar for the past 15 years for VGC. As well as in various Singles formats over the past 22 Years and 11 months between Gold and Silver and Scarlet and Violets release date.

@16:55 Hy-"dry"-gon. Its naming convention is the # of heads in German numbers, Eins, Zwei, Drei where the "ei" makes a long "i" sound A trait shared with Lorelei of the original Elite 4, whose name ultimately hails from an old German poem and has resulted in a number of female characters with Ice themes sharing a name or title of Lorelei in games. (This post was made purely for trivia sake, not as a petty criticism of pronunciation.)
