Patterrz Reacts to "What is the SECOND Best Starter Pokemon?"

[@WR_WFCODM]

incineroar just isn’t as relevant now because the power level is lower. Incin thrives against high power teams where a support pokemon that can burn, fake out, parting shot etc bigger threats is more relevant

That won't last with Mega Incineroar and Special Intimidate ​@@GoesHamo

[@joshuapineda8708]

[@rileyackison4495]

The fact that they nerfed intimidate so heavily and incineroar is still this good shows how powerful a support it is.

[@rakurai4953]

The fact that Venusaur and Blaziken have the same base speed at 80 is insane to me

[@shishsuke]

People tend to overestimate just how fast the fire cock actually is because of speed boost tbh. Without that ability it's probably a middling starter at best

[@lokilucario]

Yeah it's extremely infuriating. I'd rather they make Blaziken either a pure physical or special attacker and put those points in speed but 🤷

[@aninass]

@@shishsuke Yeah. Most starters are middling at best even with their abilities.

[@MaximeLafreniere433]

@@shishsuke Also because of the Mega-Evolution (that always has Speed Boost because lol).

[@ThrashAnDash]

so primarina’s electric, grass and poison weaknesses are actually huge right now because of archaludon’s electro shot, rillaboom and then sneasler having a super fast op move called dire claw

[@capsubaru17]

Fun fact: kilowattrel has been seeing an uptick in usage in Japan recently

[@sperryyoungerjr.3985]

I've been using Kilowattrel in a rain team alongside Archaludon, Male Meowstic, Politoed, Rillaboom, and Incineroar, and it is doing some amazing work.

[@The_Tormented_One]

Killo is a good tailwind setter but there are 4 guys in reg H who can set tailwind with priority being talon, volbeat?, whim and murkrow so it doesn't see much usage. It still is fast and hits hard tho so could be used

[@DrGandW]

32:45 little misconception here, Choice items do not function while Maxed

[@Tripledeluxer]

5:14 I used kilowatrell :D (I went 3-5 at regionals...Surely theres no overlap in those two things)

[@XCodes]

Rillaboom's performance in Worlds was tragic. Rillaboom was basically the strongest pokemon around that was still susceptible to Incineroar's Intimidate, so Incineroar filtered out all the Rillabooms and then got filtered by all the Intimidate-immune Restricteds.

[@MorrisPXG]

Also Miraidon and Kyogre Players has adapted through Rillaboom,Which is another reason that Rillaboom ain’t working

[@roadrunner9332]

One thing I don't understand is Torkoal's low speed stat being called a weakness. It can actually be a strength if both players lead with a weather setter. In those cases, the faster Pokémon will set the weather first, then the weather will change to the condition set by the other Pokémon. So you want your Pokémon to be slower than the opponent in those cases. Sometimes this interaction can catch people off guard. Five years ago, I played against someone who started with Alolan Ninetales, whereas I chose Hippowdon to go first. Hippowdon was slower, so the hail changed to sandstorm. My opponent didn't realize this and tried to use Aurora Veil, which failed because there was no Hail. Sadly, I still lost that battle (because of unlucky freeze shenanigans. Some of my battles in S/V also started with me changing the weather from rain to sun before turn 1 thanks to Torkoal's low speed. So being slow isn't always a weakness.

[@lantami1199]

Being slow also makes for a very good Trick Room attacker. Eruption Torkoal in Trick Room can be a very scary threat

[@SweetBananaDigital]

I am a fellow a grass starter enjoyer, and Bulbasaur is my all-time favorite Pokémon. I agree it’s nice to see a couple of Grass starters make it onto this list.

[@Pearakeet_Arts]

Blaziken will always be my fave, I still have my very first from OG sapphire. Had to use the ds storage system to bring him to Sun and Moon

[@rufavulpes]

[@CmdrUD87]

How come Incineroar suspiciously sounds like Vinnie? Also, it's so funnny that Venusaur to this day is runnign what is effectively a Gen1- set.

[@worthless_trash_5254]

"leaning towards the grass type" bro its because of the weed lol

[@BiggestChungus21]

The second best starter pokemon is grass incineroar. Mf just took the old assault vest set and made it grass. Hilariously, incineroar is almost always ran as Tera grass while grass incineroar is tera fire. Maybe grass incineroar is inaccurate. But when you consider that it hits like a truck with recoil, thanks wood hammer, fake out, and is mostly there to support with fake out and pivoting, it’s just so much like classic incin. Give that gorilla parting shot and baby we’re in business. It’s not ad useful though considering it doesn’t have intimidate. But grass incineroar is something else

[@Jam_Jon07]

He did say incin somwhere towards the end of the video

[@markuss-n5i]

0:30 Nope, the data is this pretty fresh for the new H format...

[@Charlie_the_dog]

My 2 favorite starters (and close to my favorites) are primarina and (frick what is wrong with me right now normally I can name like 1000/1025 (or more) or whatever it is now. wth is happening)... skeledirge (close 3rd is greninja closer 4th is decidueye)

[@zachsuedmeyer2526]

I think prim is my favorite starter and LV not working like pixilate is such a terrible liability. Her usage would be 10% in restricted formats minimum. 30-40% in most non restricted.

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

I think Venasaur should've been runner-up Second best starter and not Charizard as I think with out forms, it's base form performs the best of the two

[@basslinestudiosband277]

The fact that there are two Alola starters is insane. I’m just saying it I’ve only watched two minutes of this video, so you might see another one of my comments

[@cameronsharples2544]

Never cook again

[@Alister1310]

the problem with that set is that it can realistically only do one move before fainting because of the below average speed and also fire punch because it's pretty damn bad

[@nathanblackburn1193]

Hot take: Mega Charizard Y is 100x better than Mega Charizard X both in visuals and usefulness (I kinda hate Mega Charizard X for being such blatant shameless gen 1 pandering along with it just being a massive outlier with the other Kanto starter megas showing that it was clearly an afterthought designed to pander to nostalgia) (Also with you mentioning Yu-Gi-Oh Cyber Dragons maybe you should react to Rata's Archetype Archive: Cyber Dragon video)

[@Deathkri]

@@GravityIsFalling If you feel that way, then alright. I'm just giving the main reason, at least from my memory, as to why he's here. Blaziken has just always been at least high B, and when he had his mega was a straight S.

[@corey2232]

10:11 - It's the opposite for me, mainly because of how slow & dull GF made Scarlet & Violet battling... It's just not fun to watch compared to other JRPGs! And after being on an Atlus kick & playing through Persona 3 Reload, SMT V Vengeance & Metaphor Re:Fantazio demo, the slow combat, boring UI, stagnant character animations, etc. If they could just speed things up, especially status notifications & stat changes, while also making characters & camera movement more dynamic & alive, I'd love it
