You are a menace, and I hate that you have gotten me to endorse this idea, I really wanna see this happen but omg that simulation would take WEEKS

[@wanderingwatcher3981]

It's hard to judge from the video, but I think this 1.8 million simulation already took weeks based on how slow results were coming in. Python is great for implementing fun ideas quickly, but it's not so good for scaling up into billions of match-ups. To run such a large simulation on a home PC you'd have to figure out a way of running simulations in parallel on the GPU and even with optimized code it would most likely take months.

Would love to see a sequel, with the mistakes cleaned up or even just more data scrapped out to show off more oddities. Hearing about the biggest upset by rank. Win loss percentages of Pokémon. Any surprises regarding type match ups. Strongest Pokémon of each Generation. Infighting within groups of Pokémon for the strongest bird or dog or regi. Evolution line upsets.

[@lukenator115]

100% this

[@mds_main]

Absolutely. Maybe he could also add those forms he skipped for one reason or the other like AshGreninja.

[@DraftingandCrafting]

Ice coming in at 4 for overall ranking was the most shocking thing to me.

[@Helios_Therian]

17:35 Haxorus was done so dirty after getting into the top 20 of all time. Just chilling, naming box legends then saying "eh, what's the other guy" "Breaking into the top 20" completely skipping #20 that being freaking Haxorus of all things Edit: Just realized regular Diancie was even disqualified, officially not just getting the spotlight in the video but also stealing the #19 spot from the bug looking dragon fellow

[@Reflex70900]

so objectivly miraidon is the strongest PLAYABLE pokemon 22:12

[@Rubenlostit]

You cant base this list off objectivity, the simulated AI definitely messed up bad (or Frank's manual sets were just bad) in a lot of places after looking at the list closer as some of the pokemon high/low on the list I cant even fathom being in those spots. Although Miraidon did win a recent official regional tournament so there is that

[@EndersandYT]

​@@Rubenlostitbut you can because the simulations the same for every pokemon so each pokemon is equally as bad as playing

[@davidemariani1056]

[@J.R.MusicProductions]

​@@EndersandYT I imagine that for ones where more advanced strategy is needed, the bad playing has a much more extreme effect.

@jaydenraynor391 for some that rely on a specific move or ability maybe but overall it's equally fair

dude the acting on this video was hilarious and and point, amazing!

[@ConquestM]

What the hell it's the undertale guy!

[@HedgehogY2K]

I remember my fight against Dome Ace Tucker in Emerald. My slaking is IV/EV trained with Hyperbeam, Slack Off, Substitute, and Yawn. Arguably the best slaking one can make. But this dang charizard had the balls to barely survive a full hyperbeam! It became a dance with me substituting away from overheat, healing, and just trying to get him to sleep so I can attempt to hyperbeam again but I missed MULTIPLE TIMES! Then finally-I get to hit him again. This all could've been over sooner if my Slaking had 380+ attack power instead of 376.

[@giantWario]

A Gen 3 pokemon being the strongest non-legendary is insane, the power creep just doesn't affect Slaking I guess.

[@Therevengeforget]

power creep: "Hey, Slaking, MOVE!" Slaking: "nah, too lazy... give me another generation or two..." power creep: "You've been saying that since Gen 3!" Slaking: "oh well, next one's the charm."

[@BlueStr1ke]

Wait so Eternamax lost 70 times but to who did this thing lose to??

[@wl-o8197]

God

[@GamePandaXXL]

Zacian, Zamazenta and propably any Steel/Fairy like Tinkaton. I think the Eternatus boss battle has it only have STAB moves (poison dragon) and with those it literally can not hit Tinkaton (or other Fairy/Steel) for any damage at all.

[@BlueStr1ke]

@GamePandaXXL but in the boss battle it has flamethrower and recover also if we were to take its best move set it would have something else beside dragon and Poison moves

[@GamePandaXXL]

@@BlueStr1ke yeah but if you cant use any STAB moves against creatures that hit you for super effective stab youre still at super bad odds

[@BlueStr1ke]

@GamePandaXXL yeah I get that but it's not going to go down at all since it's hp stat is 255 its def is 250 spdef is also 250 and it's attacking with spatk of 125 that's not something that's to be taken easily

[@nurfgal]

Oh, and you actually got me to watch the sponsor. I knew I was in for a treat when you rolled out the greenscreen.

[@akumayoxiruma]

Sad to see Shedinja only at #677 with a lower win-to-lose ration. I expected it to be much higher considering its ability and many Pokémon simply not having anything to hit it with.

[@omnibeta1876]

There is a high chance it got stalled out into Struggle, which instantly snaps its neck

[@GeorgeDCowley]

@@omnibeta1876 Doesn't it run Swords Dance a lot?

[@Polzemanden]

Unfortunately, I think bug is probably the worst typing to combo with the ability. Way too many mons can learn some random flying or fire move, not to mention shit like Toxic or Will-o-wisp being kinda prevalent.

[@GeorgeDCowley]

@@Polzemanden Guess Curse beats it.

[@silentKeys20]

The reason Shedinja is *kinda* viable in pro play is because you know how to use it against a good matchup, and usually the pool of meta pokemons are severely limited. When we're talking about battling every single other pokemon, given good coverage moves, then he falls off.

[@Kulkogo]

“There may be tampering with the results” Yeah if a decent mega and a powerful legendary Pokémon are in the bottom, I would consider redoing the entire thing

[@miekruss646]

I know this is a fun list and all but the more I look at the list the more I wonder wtf happened with some of the pokemon. Abra is higher than alakazam AND mega-alakazam?

[@MurkyTheSquid]

bro ngl, the fact that my boy Megagross was left out of this running hurts😭 one of my fav megas and a regular in any party for me

[@whereisspacebar2991]

Before watching the video, I'm going to predict that Shedinja does really well just because of how many Pokemon can't hit it at all.

[@GoblinSquid]

It got rank 677, which is kinda mid.

[@liammccoy385]

I thought I was so smart picking Shedinja for a top 25 placement and then I look at the list and ITS 677 THATS NOT EVEN IN THE TOP HALF 😭

[@carriegabaldon4540]

The “back to you frank” *pause* “thanks frank” got me rollin 😂

[@mailcs06]

Who would have thought that Eternamax Eternatus, the Pokémon exclusively made for a 4v1 boss fight where you get 2 legendaries on your side for free, is the strongest Pokémon for 1v1s. Shocking

[@zaffenfyrtz1466]

Fun fact: Since Eternamax Eternatus is allowed and physical attackers are more popular, if it had 240+ Def it would win against every single Physical attacker, since it would only take 1% damage due to defense overflow.

[@abaddonarts1129]

In regards to Miraidon you said "Why did they think this was fair???" and to that I just turn and point at the cutscene where it refuses to die and becomes unbelievably broken in the final cutscene because plot armor. You can't even intentionally fail, iirc.

[@Melchary]

That last shot with the camera on the roof is pure cinema. Great video and all, but I enjoyed just looking at that shot so much and I was sad when the video ended so quick. You must use it again.

[@켄지]

Gen 8 won - Starters (#1 Cinderace, with #2 Inteleon and #5 Rillaboom) - Legendary (Emax Eternatus) - Overall (Emax Eternatus) Then you have Koraidon and Miraidon that are supposed to be the past/future versions of just a normal Pokemon like Cyclizar, that beat literal sky god (Mega Rayquaza). The powercreep is scary. What's next? Gen 10 rodent Pokemon stronger than Eternatus? 😂

[@TheDeathmail]

The fact that with enough luck, even weak Pokemon can beat some of the strongest Pokemon is kinda cool... Like, it did probably take a miracle and only worked because there were so many battles.... but still....

[@Bluethymestrategy]

So who was the strongest? The cliffhanger was unsatisfying for people who dont know that pokemon

[@stefanmilicevic5322]

As someone who wondered the same thing and did a little research, it’s actually Eternamax that ranks at number one. A small note at the bottom of the video might have been helpful for those unfamiliar with the newer generations or Pokémon in general.

[@highlord2841]

Lore wise, the strongest is Arceus, and in the game it is stated that the Arceus we can capture and use in battle is only one of Arceus’s 1000 arms, so Arceus’s true power is literally what we see multiplied by 1000

[@1000-THR]

considering its a god, its actually an infinite amount stronger
