Missing a no restrictions teams for Heartgold/SoulSilver, Black/White 2, and Ultra Sun/Moon. Also a best team Gale of Darkness

[@frankorious534]

Iirc he said for BW 2 it would have been like the normal one because the trade evos before the league aren’t that good (no Alakazam or Gengar), and the USUM one would have been the same as SM. So he just need to make the HGSS one, which probably would just change Espeon into Alakazam, Ampharos into Raikou and maybe Heracross into Machamp.

[@DarthAngel2]

Typhlosion glaze is always appreciated

[@Aex89]

Absolutely, clears johto

[@evawhite1144]

Feraligatr is better, lol. Typhlosion doesn't clear Johto, it gets bullied to Hell and back by both Claire and Lance, not to mention Lance's rematch battle, which is practically impossible to beat for Typhlosion. Why do you think nuzlockers never use Typhlosion against Claire and Lance in fire type only runs? And Speedruners always choose Totodile as their starter? It's because Typhlosion can't clear the game the same way Feraligatr does. Typhlosion fans just don't have enough brains to think about all the match-ups logically.

[@shynihunterpt]

Always good to see this ones from Mystic! Thanks man!

[@bradhaley8432]

As for me, I'll stick to the following 6 Pokémon for soulsilver because this team has worked for me in both Johto and in the Kanto post-game: 1. Feraligator 2. Red Gyarados. 3. Pidgeot. 4. Entei. 5. Lugia. 6. Ampharos.

[@Newmsy]

Feraligatr and gyarados are both cool but redundant

[@oblivion2025]

Thank for the comp vid these vids make my day and I always wanted to to a playthrough with the best teams on delta

[@jamolien]

Love this nostalgia vid! Makes me want to get my old game out. In fact I will! Side note - would you ever consider doing another randomiser nuzlocke series again? I loved it! But through a different region / game? (Please 🤞)

[@Kelly_Yamaguchi_95]

Wow this video really changed the landscape when it comes to Pokemon advice and it really was super effective in the Johto region , this is why 2nd Gen is my favorite

[@ngc_man25]

Love the concept of this type of video. I watched all the originals years ago. Very well done. One aspect of building pokemon teams that I'd love to hear others' thoughts about is dealing with the exp grind. This is particularly relevant in hgss, where there just isn't a lot of experience points to go around (especially if you choose not to battle many wild pokemon). Hgss is particularly scarce in the exp department. What types of teams that done require a ton of exp grinding do people use? Doesn't have to be a 6 member team :)

[@fajriboyzz5215]

3:23 i think just change focus blast with sunny day for buffed solar beam and lava plume. Since the accuracy from focus blast is lower and you have fire type move for counter steel type.

[@joserodriguez1678]

Great video!!!! Hope you do this to the other Best Teams!!

[@ultimate_pleb]

3:30 replace focus miss with shadow ball and you have a good move set

[@lucanigro7316]

Typhlosion can’t learn Shadowball in Gen 4

[@ShadyRK9]

I've been using a full team of my favorite Shinies. Hitmontop, Ampharos, Azumarill, Miltank, Crobat. Good team! They've helped me alot! ✨️

[@josephbulkin9222]

I had a team in Heart Gold. I used Typhlosion, Politoed, Ampharos, Heracross, Togekiss, Donphan, and Sudowoodo. Great stuff.

[@tristindurocher-batley4780]

Whitney and Clair are both consistently the toughest gym leaders in Johto. Whitney’s tough because her miltank is a menace due to not only being a stupid strong Pokemon for the third gym in the game but with one of the rudest movesets of any gym battle Pokemon out there plus in hgss while it’s one level lower than gsc it receives two buffs in exchange a lum berry meaning you need to status it twice and scrappy so you can’t cheese the fight with a gastly anymore. Meanwhile Clair is difficult by nature of using dragons before fairy type existed in gsc all her dragonairs have thunder wave ready to ruin your day and for any water types with ice coverage one of them has thunderbolt and you won’t know which one until after you get hit by it and kingdra’s only weakness is dragon and you are basically guaranteed not to have dragon type on your johto team due to only options being a low level Dratini near town and maybe a kingdra yourself. Not only are they tough but they both throw tantrums when you beat them Whitney cries like a baby and Clair is a sore beeping loser who straight up refuses to give you the badge. Whintney more than likely ran over your team multiple times if you don’t go out of your way to get and then train up Pokémon meant specifically to counter Whitney’s evil miltank and she has the right to cry after one loss what about our tears Whitney huh. Clair on the other hand were the ones with limited super effective damage outputs and due to Johto’s level curves we’re likely under leveled making it more impressive if we can win and more frustrating when she doesn’t give us the badge you baby j-just gimme the damn bsdge do your job woman. But at least with Whitney all we got to do is walk away talk to the nearest gym trainer walk back talk to Whitney when she’s done shirking her responsibilities by throwing a fit and she’ll give you the badge but with Clair she makes you go to the freaking dragon’s den take a trail pass it and she still doesn’t want to give us the freaking badge and it takes a threat from the elder to tell Lance that she’s not doing her job before she finally gives us the damn badge. I know this is off topic from the video but I’m just pointing out the toughest gym leaders regardless of what starter you pick.

[@300kyuubi]

Ohhhh, this is gonna be a fun video 🥰👍

[@zacharyjoy8724]

A postgame suggestion for Feraligatr: once you’ve gone everywhere that requires Surf (which you CAN do before the Red Battle), replace it with Rock Climb (which you get from Oak after getting all 16 Badges). This way, not only does it have an extra physical attack, but you won’t need to swap out a party member for an HM-mule. Just a thought.

[@emilyhopemeechem4183]

Heart Gold and Soul Silver are better versions of Gold, Silver and Crystal with lots of Pokémon and moves as of generation 4 The poke walker accessory Pokeathlon Safari Zone has access to later Pokémon And walking Pokémon Except where they lack the Odd Egg feature for easier access to shiny baby Pokémon, some Pokémon found very late in the game And Celebi not obtainable in the Shrine in normal gameplay

[@JamiePokemonTrainer]

Following Pokemon is a pretty bad feature in my opinion. It is just annoying to have and it can't be turned off here. Pokeathlon just felt unnecessary and can easily be ignored. Pokewalker didn't need to exist. Safari zone doesn't really make up for the pokemon originally locked behind Kanto as Safari Zones are just annoying to get pokemon. What this poor remake did do right is bring back closed off areas such as Seaform Island and Cerulean Cave.

[@The_Legendary_Super_Saiyan1]

Typhlosion is my favorite fire type pokemon of all time.

[@DoableSine]

I like to see people's teams after a shiny hunt quest. Because they usually end up using whatever is convenient to get. I usually wouldn't use an Arbok or Sudowoodo, but they feel so necessary in my shiny team

[@howardschilling8271]

Thanks for the nostalgia Mystic.

Just finished a gold only team on pokemon crystal. The team had typlosion, politoad, togetic, sunlfora, swoodowodo and lantern. Man was it tough by the end. MVP was politoad.

[@MegaInferGoku19617]

The best team I ever used in HGSS were Pokemon I didn't even get from in-game (except for my starter), but traded over from Platinum: Feraligatr, Staraptor, Scizor, Mamoswine, Houndoom, and Electivire.

[@anthonyt425]

@@dreamgood130 Hmm. So many decent Pokemon. Tyranitar is amazing but unless you’re willing to grind it out most will probably not use it. Amphorous is a great electric Pokemon but way too common imo. Choose Lanturn (catch one on route 41!) or even Jolteon for a slightly underrated electric Pokemon. I love Espeon, great choice. A solid Flyer, I would go with Skarmory. I’m biased so I love Totodile. Despite Umbreon saying that other water types outclass it, it still has really high attack and versatile.

This was my team in Soulsilver excluding Nidoking / Mamoswine but I think they would have been addition for my team and would have added type diversity. And Togekiss is the best flyer idc, Ik you have to wait post game but it is. Lanturn was holding it down for me in my playthrough, it’s dual typing is goated.

[@siyargezer1562]

What do you think about Kingdra instead of Lapras? I know its late game but I still wanna hear your opinion

[@anthonyt425]

I think Kingdra has better stats and typing but you need you need to trade. On the other hand Lapras has earlier access and more bulky.

[@siyargezer1562]

I can trade its fine. Im leaning more towards Kingdra than Lapras tbh, and I havent used Kingdra before

[@red_dll]

Some of the decisions in the Feraligatr and Meganium team are outragous.

[@seanwilliams823]

If you have a Pokemon that can learn Surf, like an HM Mule, replace Surf with Crunch.

[@NigelGrab]

This WOULD be the best possible team except for one problem - exp. The horrendous exp curve in hgss plus the slow growth rate of lapras and hera means you'll be struuuggling through the game underleveled

[@jdreamerg]

My team always ends up being Starter Shiny Gyarados Dragonite Kingdra Tyranitar Eeveelution

[@Kingkongbongdong4716]

He talking at that speed where it’s a lil to fast but just the right amount to sound crazy if your to slow to down

[@deutscheskaiserreich3094]

Fearow performs worse than Crobat from my experience, in the specific case of this team, its main use would be against fighting types really, and most of the time it doesn't have enough power to one shot them, and is so frail that it gets one shot in the same turn, and this is from experience, I've used Fearow alot as its really good early game, you get it for free, its fully evolved immediately once you get it essentially, and its stats are great for that part of the game, like Goldenrod team rockect arc, and onwards it falls off. Crobat may do less damage, but it can take a hit better, and can confuse as well to give it a chance to not get hit in the first place in fights where you'd want a flying type. Personally though, I'd use either of the cover legendaries over either, simple better solution. Or swap Fearow for Skarmory once you can get it if you can get it. Skarmory's offensive stats are similar to both Crobat and Fearow, but its overall stats are just better, and it will perform better in most fights then either.

Strong pokemon. Weak pokemon. That is only the selfish perception of people. The best team is the one made up of your favorites. 😌

[@anthonyt425]

Karen really had such a great introduction.

[@deutscheskaiserreich3094]

Best electric type? no, most useful (cause you get it immediately) yes. Jolteon, even Magneton (not even Magnezone), and Raikou are all better, you just get them later when it matters a little less, but you can technically get all 3 of those at basically the same time. Ampharos is the most useful though, and unlike Fearow its performance doesnt drop so bad its terrible compared to its alternatives, the margins in which is competetion are better are fairly minor.

[@LiterallyWhomstve]

Understandable, time nothing but physical attacking mons including an Arcanine, Machamp, and Rhyperior on a Feraligatr team.

[@Dutchofclass]

Respectfully..the typhlosion line has a really shallow move pool. I'll take the feraligatr line any day of the week, whether it gets physical water moves later on or not. It can learn moves like dig, rockslide, crunch, brick break and iron tail to take out a ton of different pokemon. Plus, did you forget sheer force??

[@anthonyt425]

I don't think Feraligatr gets sheer force as an ability until gen 5. Regardless, the rest of your points are right. Typhlosion does have a shallow movepool. Focus blast and solarbeam are solid but they come with trade offs (second turn & low accuracy respectively). The only "bad" thing about Feraligatr is that they're so many other water pokémon to use.

[@AlixPorter-i3y]

I liked the Typhlosion team but why didn't Fearow have Steel Wing forthose Ice and Rock tupes?

[@antonitocotter447]

Because both Typhlosion and Lapras already helped with that.

[@yorecf9641]

You don't get the Steel Wing TM until after you beat Blue. Also, the team already has Typhlosion, Heracross and Lapras to deal with rock and ice types.

Unpopular opinion. I don't like any of the Johto starters. 😒😒 great video overall though. Appreciate it.

[@anthonyt425]

You don't like their design or something else?

[@mgt199213]

@anthonyt425 Just don't like them in general. First time ever playing gen 2 which was Crystal, I put my starter in the box after catching a Growlithe. Traded with a friend and back so it would level up faster and then I had evolved my Magikarp but once I caught Suicune that was my water/ice type. Never had a grass type on my team except one time when I had a friend trade me a Bulbasaur. Playing the remakes was still the same way except instead of having Suicune, I just kept my Gyarados.

[@basdemanaz]

[@JamiePokemonTrainer]

Yeah I doubt there is any good team for this awful remake. Regardless, I just solo the game with Feraligatr. The exp share in Heartgold and Soulsilver is just bad as it doesn't level up the whole team. Having 8 hidden moves also hinders the team choices for us. The level curve in this game is still not fixed. I have no love for this game. Both pokemon regions ended up dragging each other down. Especially Kanto as it feels more empty and barren.

[@anthonyt425]

There's a decent amount of pokémon but many great ones are locked for the postgame or you need elemental stones(very hard to obtain) to get better pokémon. I completely agree with your other critiques, the level grinding, the forced HM usage, the kanto region being half baked, kinda brings the game down a bit.
