Surprised no mention of Murkrow seeing how dominant it is now in VGC meta and how it's a great example of how the pre evolution plays drastically different than the evo

[@LudiColorado]

Was gonna mention this, I know VGC isn't Joey's specialty but a NFE Pokemon that is dominating a meta like that definitely deserves its praise. Even if Murkrow was a fully evolved mon at one point, it's a far cry from ones that were already really good before getting an evo like Chansey or Bisharp.

[@pokeaimMD]

This was made before November and I added the line about Bisharp and Kingambit last minute. If i had made it during i would have mentioned those + ursaring and stuff

[@pokeaimMD]

Better than Honchkrow when it had Brave Bird + Pursuit? Nah never lol. It still had use sure but was never better than Honchkrow. Yes it could be used in lower tiers and was banned from LC but i don’t think it could be called “good” til recent

[@LudiColorado]

@@MrMonkey2150 it's had use but it's definitely not been better than Honchkrow until recently, and that's only in doubles. In singles neither is particularly amazing but Honchkrow can always be a threat, while Murkrow is super niche and isn't able to fill the same role it does in doubles

Doublade has been one of my favorite NFEs to use over the years, the fact that it was a UU staple in gens 6 and 7 and even had valid OU niches upon Aegislash's ban in gen 6 was really cool to me.

Joey one recommendation I have with this videos is to let the information breathe. They’re jam packed with great info about competitive Pokémon but it’s important that the viewer is able to pick it all up and understand it for the best results

[@RogersBase]

Evolite Lickitung with Dragon Tail let's goooooooooo

[@ragincajun3663]

Charjabug is goated, great webs + t-wave support, pretty good phys def, and a relatively slow pivot. Gen 8 ZU demon

[@fatyoshi696]

one thing i wish they added was an offensive version of the eviolite, eviolite only really benefits bulky mons so having an analogous item that gives +1 atk and spatk instead if its holder isn't fully evolved just makes sense and would make so many more nfes more viable

[@jacobluneberg597]

i disagree that it only helps bulky mons, like at the end of the day an offensive mon being able to tank an extra hit is still really good, but i we totally should get an offensive eviolite that woudl be dope

[@krisjolt]

Yeah, but that would mean Light Ball is basically a glorified Eviolite. Unless if they add boosts in every other stats or add more boost to SpA and Atk stats, I don't think it would make any sense.

[@jacobluneberg597]

@@krisjolt make it up speed too snd i dont think anyone would complain

[@krisjolt]

@@jacobluneberg597 I guess that make sense. Having a higher advantage on attacking and speed is pretty good enough. The players could either invest on a more bulky Pikachu or a oneshot Pikachu

Great vid Joey! Nice to see you doing different things.

[@annaangelic2318]

RBY lower tiers have a lot of funny examples of just how centralized the metagame is around certain factors; Kadabra and Haunter are in UU for amazing typings, great special, and speed, similar to their evolutions in OU. You can get away with Dragonair in UU even with Dragonite present because DAir doesn’t have a 4x Ice weakness. Poliwhirl is right next to its evolution in the NU banlist for pulling a lot of the same Sleep + Amnesia shenanigans. Exeggcute doesn’t run the RBY NU metagame but it does have a pretty solid niche in the tier. Staryu performs well as a fast special attacker with status spreading and good coverage in RBY PU, just like its OU evolution. Drowzee, Dragonair, Omanyte, Abra, Graveler, and Gastly also compose the tier, and although they aren’t top-ranked threats, they perform adequately and help to check a lot of the centralizing figures. The very fresh ZU tier is still being explored with new drops like Arcanine, but it also has a variety of NFEs like Poliwag, Slowpoke, Weepinbell, Diglett, Machoke, Pikachu, and Tentacool. A lot of these NFE Pokemon outperform a lot of FE Pokemon that perform way better in more modern or simply non-RBY generations, like Weezing, Muk, Marowak, Hitmonlee, Beedrill, and Butterfree.

[@Wapfgaming]

I think it's hilarious that psychic types were so broken in gen1 that literally every psychic type has a niche in a tier lol

[@Steve_SBU]

Surprised he didn’t mention how in Gen 5 Bidoof, the GOAT, was banned from Ubers thanks to the sheer power of the Moody ability

[@bigchez2855]

Haunter and Kadabra have always been above their evolutions in design to me, and them being viable both in game and lower tiers has always been a treat

The Tapus hate switching into sludge bomb risking getting ko’d via crit and non-sword dance variants of kartana get stalled out. Also it has sleep powder too as well as tricks such as dazzling gleam. Gen 7 it also gets hidden power fire for ferrothorn and ground for heatran

My favorite example of this is in gen 6 Ubers, Pikachu was usable as a geomancy xerneas check, as well as a kyogre revenge killer. Modest xerneas is outsped by +speed nature pikachu, and the combination of fake out, knock off and volt tackle could KO xerneas guaranteed. Fake out to flinch, knock off their power herb and then volt tackle for the KO. It was a roll with volt tackle, but guaranteed after rocks. Kyogre speed ties with plus speed nature pikachu, and volt tackle was always a guaranteed ko so if you win the speed tie, or if they're just not max speed, you'd get some hype clips.

One of my favorites is Charjabug, because it feels SO much different than it's evolution Vikavolt. In doubles, you can play both of them and they have really good sinergy!

[@quinndepatten4442]

Surskit is low key underrated. I've been using it in doubles mainly. Power split when your mon has base 10 attack is incredibly funny. Its weirdly bulky with eviolite so it doesnt even need a focus sash. I think it could be good in singles too with swift swim and sticky webs.

[@munchrai6396]

The evolutions we got in gen 9 are just a really great boon for Eviolite use on all of the previous forms with the exception of Farigiraf. Dunsparce now has way more bulk than Dudunsparce, though it's lackluster speed does require some team support, it has just as much potential to successfully paraflinch a variety of opponent's as its evolution. Primeape has been doing a great job of upholding the Legacy of terror that it's evolution was able to achieve OU in lower tiers and I've even seen Stantler see a bit more use in doubles for its unique ability to Skill Swap Intimidate. Really curious how good Wyrdear will be in comparison

[@annaangelic2318]

GSC has some fun examples of NFE Pokemon situating themselves in lower tiers and outcompeting fully evolved Pokemon. Scyther is one of the three tyrants of the GSC UU tier alongside Granbull and NidoQUEEN. Haunter is top tier in GSC UU and very disruptive in the Spikes meta, Chansey and Kadabra are both solid, and even Pikachu finds a niche as a powerful special breaker. GSC NU has Pineco as a top tier Spikes setter and physical check, Gloom as a great status spreader, and Chinchou and Magnemite as good special checks. Graveler, Dragonair, Porygon, Pupitar, Houndour, and Exeggcute can all find niches as offensive-defensive Pokemon with great coverage, just like their evolutions. Poliwhirl and Seadra dominate the GSC PU meta, buoying up other NFEs like Voltorb, Flaaffy, and Elekid. Gastly, Abra, Drowzee, Cubone, Machoke, Omanyte, and Rhyhorn are all great picks that play similarly to their evolutions in higher tiers, with the breathing room of a lower powered metagame. Golbat is a neat disruptor with a good defensive typing, Charmeleon has rare powerful Fire STAB, Eevee has Growth + Baton Pass, Geodude can rapid spin and explode with a a useful offensive-defensive typing, Slowpoke and Staryu find small niches as Water types with useful balanced profiles, and Ponyta has a fast Fire STAB and Hypnosis. Then you’ve got GSC ZU, completely ruled by Croconaw. Some NFEs, like Poliwag, Quilava, and Wartortle were simply too good, leaving Croconaw as the top-Water. Magby and Smoochum are dangerous special breakers that can stand up to and punch through Croconaw and FEs like Togetic, Butterfree, and Parasect. The tier is actually mostly NFE, with tons of unique GSC-flavor from Nidorino, Nidorina, Mareep, and Natu imitating the niches of some of their older brethren. Yanma is probably the saddest fully evolved Pokemon of the generation besides obvious candidates like Shadow Tagless Wobbuffet and Unown. Good thing Speed Boost + Tinted Lens and Yanmega brought it back to life in Gens 3 + 4.

I'm surprised you mentioned Magmar, but didn't raise Electabuzz - who has the same Special Attack as Electavire, but is significantly faster, so he's generally preferred due to the lack of a powerful, spammable physical electric attack.

[@alessandro1885]

In recent VGC: Dusclops, Porygon 2, Clefairy, Murkrow.

In RBY UU Dragonair used to have a solid niche, due to the fact that unlike Dragonite it was only 2x weak to ice moves, while Dragonite was still 4x weak to ice. They both ran wrap+agility before that was banned, although I'm not sure if Dragonair is still viable in RBY UU since I haven't played the tier in a while.

bisharp gonna be crazy

Machoke was busted in AG for a couple of weeks, being tanky af with eviolite

[@anzyroadside2374]

No mention of Murkrow? Prankster + Tailwind is a good combination.

[@goneawaysadly5135]

Shell smash wartortle should be talked about too

[@stretchpunchbeef8982]

Damn this feels like it could be a FSG video

[@DarkEclipse23]

Light ball Pikachu with grass knot may as well just stab heavy ground + rock types. Unless they have focus sash or sturdy then rip 😂 Otherwise you could always double team/minimize + baton pass to give an extra chance.

Yo what games is this, looks fun

Venipede being better as a hazard setter than Whirlipede in gen 6 PU/ZU because of its speed stat was pretty funny

[@Coconut_Prrson]

Danm too bad you recorded this video before the Crow-apocalypse. Cause we all know that's the best example of a NFE overpowering their older sibling

[@Jlevens]

i am guessing p2, chansey, dusclops and maybe bisharp if u see that as use as nfe in gen 8 cause of evo now

[@edwinkjellzahn]

As someone whose 4th favorite pokemon design wise is Dusknoir, I’m well aware of how much better its pre-evo is. However, another of my favorites is Porygon-Z which I use for one thing and one thing only: absolutely fucking destroy a wall. I run Choice Specs, Adaptability, and Hyper Beam with a few coverage moves and Porygon-Deathstar works really well.

huh i never knew this but apparently scyther and scizor have the same bst

[@ferrankina6989]

this shall never be forgotten: RenPinBell (Weepinbell) (F) @ Eviolite Ability: Chlorophyll Shiny: Yes EVs: 200 Def / 200 SpD / 108 Spe Impish Nature - Acid Spray - Worry Seed - Clear Smog - Knock Off

[@willjackson5885]

Should there be an offensive or speed evolite?
