Top 5 Pokemon that Were Never Good

So my editor and i just caught a funny mistake where we put Cynthia instead of Diantha. Cynthia is dope so i think this one can slide.

Poor Aurorus, such a pretty pokemon who needs more love. Also Probopass was an absolute chad in my playthrough of the Teal Mask dlc.

[@devilrider39000000]

One of the things GF can do to fix Aurorus is by giving all the fossil mons "fully restored forms" and having them lose their rock typing.

[@umwha]

Auroras should be Ice/Dragon . That alone would buff it adequately

[@rockowlgamer631]

Maybe also give it Solid Rock (or an ice variation of that ability) so that way it can take hits a tad better.

[@SienAppelsien]

I used Aurorus in my X playthrough, and I loved it. Its a glass cannon but i love using glass cannon ice types cause its so statisfying when it works. Ice, rock and electric coverage was so good for my team. When it got to hit, it hit hard and was very useful. 10/10 would use again.

[@Brando-wc5mb]

I’m also using an Aurorus in my current playthrough and I’m a big fan of it. Its movepool is fantastic.

[@TheTrueMorse64]

12:50 “unlike Diantha” [shows a picture of Cynthia]

[@brianweber4170]

Honestly, I used an Aurorus for my first Y play through. True it was a glass cannon, but I managed to get some pretty good mileage out of her. She even helped in the Elite Four.

[@user-AADZ]

Strange how all of the fossils, including aurorus, have a gender ratio of 7 male to 1 female

[@pickles_mcgickle6583]

Yeh I think most Pokémon are viable in game and these videos are usually based on competitive viability

[@GamingBoy-cc9fj]

I highly agree with your opinion on Mega Audino being on this list, having the Healer Ability, an Ability that will only activate in Doubles, Triples or Rotations (if the last 2 Battles will ever come back), instead of Regenerator, Natural Cure, or Magic Guard as a Defensive Ability, or maybe even Analytic or Competitive to make it a bit more Offensive, and not having Moonblast really hurts its Viability in Singles a lot. To be all honest, if Audino got a Base Evolution instead of a Mega Evolution, then people would compare Audino to Cahnsey even more by making Base Audino able to use Eviolite and possibly even bulkier than a Potential Base Evolution of Audino.

[@PreciousLuna1988]

Mega audino is my favorite mega

[@treybrzezowski3259]

2 things; 1: Musharna is a Tapir, same as Drowzee 2: Given she has a "Magical dream being" theme going in a more mystical way than Drowzee, why not make her a Psychic/Fairy type?

[@turboshazed7370]

oh great another fairy psychic Pokemon. 😒

[@treybrzezowski3259]

@@turboshazed7370 If you have a better suggestion I'm all ears. Fairy's just the only other type in the roster I could think of that fits a magical being like Musharna. Dragon is also a type heavily associated with magic, but not in the way Musharna does things. Also this isn't Monster Hunter, I can't just point at the Tapir and say "It's a Dragon" like Capcom did with Kirin.

[@mattyorshin]

Psychic ghost would be better

[@treybrzezowski3259]

@@mattyorshin Mystic mentioned that one as being defensively worse in the video. Plus Musharna isn't ghost-y in the slightest.

[@umwha]

I think Musharna should be the female evo of drowsee. Hypno should be Psychic dark. Musharrna could be psych/ normal

[@matthewhicks8203]

12:48 Good sir. That is not Diantha, that is Cynthia, the scariest trainer this side of....well anywhere. I know Diantha is easily forgettable, but please don't invoke Cynthia's ire.....for all our sakes.

[@errorbirdesther]

What if it was a disguise she was wearing ?

[@mlpfanboy1701]

Speak for yourself. I will always fear diantha more than Cynthia.

[@umwha]

Musharna is a great concept and design visually, but is not backed up in gameplay. I agree that giving it comatose is a nice idea. But, I think an original ability is called for: 'Dream Drinker' - Musharna restores 1/6th HP per turn for each pokemon that is sleeping on the field. Additionally, whenever someone uses a move like 'Sleep Talk' or 'Snore' this heals her. Thus, she or an ally puts opponents to sleep, and this continually heals her.

[@Tony_AM009]

This sounds good! If Mega Evolution ever came back and they gave Megas to more Pokémon, I'd give this ability to a hypothetical Mega Darkrai.

[@kingkarp1251]

This would be so toxic.... i love it

[@brileyharrell5866]

They should’ve given mega Audino pixelate so it could do more damage with hyper voice

MysticUmbreon didn’t bother thinking of ways to buff Aurorus during its segment in the video. Personally I don’t mind it at all but it’s sad how Aurorus ain’t that good compared to Tyrantrum.

Mega Audino has always been my favorite Mega. I don’t even really like regular Audino, but love it’s Mega

First! XD and Mega Audio was pretty useful in gen6 NU I think 😅

[@ezekielheartmoonsky]

Bro went a little hard on Auroras, some of us actually like that mon.. his typing is bad tho u right.

[@cairneoleander8130]

I know they weren’t competitively viable ever, but you leave my snow longnecks alone! They’re perfect, even if they shouldn’t be used to, ya know, win.

[@galacticblaze9388]

Honestly i agree with this list but i have alot of fond memories of musharna as i loved mine when i was little and it does hold a place in my heart as it was on my team but i accidentally lost my moony (my musharnas nickname at the time) due to two things 1 my evil step sister released her and i also lost my original pokemon black

[@kaitouluminous7114]

Mega Audino is a great contest Pokemon I used one to win the master rank of all 5 contest types

[@DavidCimillo922]

I actually got crazy Ws in sword and shield doubles with galarian slowbro being used as a trick room setter. I had a focus sash on him, I usually had Oranguru next to him. Turn 1 people always went for oranguru instead of slowbro, thinking he was the real threat. But oranguru was fully defense invested. Then, after slowbro got the trick room up, it was game. Sometimes he'd dmax and spam max ooze. I had a fully special attacking team. Then oranguru would use instruct on pokemon that got sp atk boosts. So many rage quits.

[@jmooj]

[@thomasquinn8886]

What about fairy for musharna? On color scheme alone it’s pink, based on dreams, fairy-like, etc?

[@rockowlgamer631]

The amount of shade thrown towards Aurorus is staggering (even if its true about how bad a Ice/Rock typing is). You didn't even say anything to help "buff" it. They probably could've made it Ice/Dragon to match Tyrantrum plus make it's typing more manageable. I'd use it any way. It's so pretty and it's shiny is great.

[@benmcnally9935]

Honestly hard disagree on aurorus. Just looking back on it's competitive history it's had niches as high as RU nad is usually a good wallbreaker in the lower tiers because of how good it's stab combo is. Sure it's never been as good as Tyrantrum but it still has things going for it. More than stuff like Musharna. Plus it can be both a hail setter and a suicide lead which the other snow setters can't

[@frankorious534]

It's unrelated to the video, but why didn't you do a no restrictions team for HG SS? Is it because the team members would be the same? Because even then the moves would have been different thanks to the special/physical split.

[@JustABearCub]

So, Mostly for algorithm, but also i never realized quite how much I love Musharna: Its a tapir. An animal from south america and southeast asia. But, the reason this is important: a creature called a Baku that is also the same word for Malayan Tapir are said to be creatures that devour nightmares but if the baku is called on too often it would devour your hopes and dreams as well. So for those that have read the manga, extra points for every time Black has Musha eat his thoughts so he can think clearly. Also just as someone who suffers insomnia and rather vivid nightmares, we stan a dream guardian. But that all being said, yeah its borderline useless outside a normal playthough. But its pretty pink and cute and huggable

[@joeyescamilla3104]

4:08 if not moonblast then having the pixelate ability would have made it better and fix the bad healer ability it does have

[@chadnorris8257]

I like the way Musharna looks, but it needed one more evolution if it had any chance of being top tier. Instead it's a mid tier pokemon you're likely expected to replace before the League.

[@bryanfuerst3277]

Musharna was my MVP on my black play through! Using yawn and it’s Special attack and bulk, I did so well! It took down a lot of the elite four who were over leveled! Shadow ball for psychic types and other coverage as needed :)

[@Tony_AM009]

I agree with Mega Audino. It needed Moonblast and an ability that doesn't rely on battles that aren't Singles. If Megas weren't cut from Gens 8-9, Mega Audino could've gotten Triage, Natural Cure, Regenerator, Pixilate, Soundproof, or Punk Rock(but perhaps with a different name, like with Insomnia and Vital Spirit). I have Soundproof and Punk Rock because Audino is known for having a strong sense of hearing. I disagree with Galarian Slowbro. Munna and especially Musharna are Pokémon that could've become Psychic/Fairy or pure Fairy types. Granted, there are a list of Pokémon that should've gained the Fairy typing, but I digress. Besides, this comment would be a lot longer if I did post that list. Telepathy could be replaced with abilities such as Misty Surge, Psychic Surge, Comatose(which kinda makes sense), or Levitate. While I fairly agree with Aurorus, I do agree with Probopass. Both of them could be better.

[@nickolassussybaka437]

If i was making aurous i would give it the ice/dragon type which is a much better type than ice/rock the stats and abilities weren't the problem

[@billdeco08]

I would definitely use it then.

[@RayRay06122]

They could’ve literally left the ability of regenerator, and it would’ve already been better. The fact that they went out of their way to give its mega a crappy ability infuriates me to this day.

[@yureion]

love the lists, been goddamn least 5-6 years now lol.

[@turboshazed7370]

I think Musharna is okay due to the HP and being solid in trick room. One Pokemon i believe was never good: POLIWRATH. Oh and yup... Reuniclus is better. 😊

@@gg41451 had to be Luxray, it fit the Zyuohger theme, and besides, ZyuohLion won more than a few important battles solo and under leveled. sure, there were better Electric Types, but my Thundercat is still putting in the hard work post game with the rest of his team: ZyuohEagle (Braviary), ZyuohShark (Garchomp), ZyuohElephant (Copperajah), ZyuohTiger (Glaceon) and ZyuohGorilla (Annihilape)

[@ShiningJudgment666]

@@gg41451 Intimidate's useful but yeah, that's pretty much where it ends. What really sucks for it is the worthwhile Physical Electric moves are locked behind being signature moves with its strongest STAB option being Wild Charge which is basically Electric type Take Down with 100% accuracy. Like. Why? Not to mention the Elemental Fangs being weak as coverage moves. And being rather slow (and not even slow enough to take advantage of Trick Room) with average bulk really doesn't help it. An example of trying to make something balanced but failing. Like was Gamefreak really that scared of putting Volt Tackle on something with a base 120 Attack stat but middling Speed? And why a base 70 Speed stat instead of at least 80?

I find it interesting that the pokemon community acknowledges that Luxray is pretty terrible, but most them still end up picking it for their team on all the Sinnoh games.

[@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917]

I was about to type something like that, actually. Before Tera Blast when Slowbro was (I think) the only non-legendary with a move like that which had good bulk, a good typing, and decent offensive stats with a higher chance to go first than I think Mystic understands (it's calculated twice if you run Quick Claw. So, it's like getting two opportunities to get the dice roll you want instead of one, not improving the odds to 4/10, but giving you two 2/10 chances to go outspeed literally everything). It's not great these days, but I think that's mainly because of the entire Tera mechanic as opposed to how playable it actually is.

[@RioluLucario1994]

Musharna has been good for me. Her, paired with Eviolite Gurdurr with Bulk Up and Drain Punch have gotten me many of victories. Their usually the Defensive Core of my team whenever I feel like going against the meta. I miss when I could pair her Synchronize ability with Heal Bell back in USUM

[@carlosturcios1315]

Mega audino is a fantastic support pokemon during doubles/triple with its wide variety of healing moves. Musharna was literally one of the best trick room setters in the game that could tank hits, with the only threat being grimmsnarl or any other prankster with taunt setter, its bulk made it a very solid tank mon that allowed it to survive multiple turns and having access to helping hand makes it even more annoying to deal with. Aurorodon is a little on the mid side but the fact it has refrigerate actually makes it a threat to deal with, sadly the 4x weakness to fighting doesn’t do it justice, in a trick room however it could wipe and setup aurora veil, increase its defense in a sandstorm and literally scream in ice to deal massive damage. Galar slowbro and his opinion to maje his quickdraw ability activate 50% of the time is the dumbest fucking thing ive heard. Youre wanting to make it better but you made it busted. Being able to not plan for the unpredicted quick claw trigger is valid but thats why you continue to nasty plot and set up your buffs to allow it to survive beforehand. Probopass is the only one who i agree with. He sucks but even probomario can still do stuff but levitate wouldve helped it hugely His ideas on how to improve pokemon are making the pokemon who are meant to be SUPPORTS into dps…which is fucking stupid. He doesnt like synchronize on musharna…are you nuts, forewarn literally gives info about what move your opponent is likely to have before rhe battle officially begins and telepathy…in a doubles format…is literally amazing. But he wanted to give unaware because knock off was a problem, despite knowing the tank stats on sleepy tapir… so his solution is to make it even fatter and annoying to deal with? Sure.

Poor base HP really lets it down despite its incredible base defenses and Ghost typing is a double-edged sword.
