Patterrz Reacts to "Why the Worst Legendary Pokémon is Now Good"

[@dragonmasterxyz3544]

The fact Zama, a defense based fighting type, didn't get Body Press in Gen 8 is the wildest thing imaginable. It was made for Body Press...

[@DrGandW]

I’m more shocked that it’s signature move didn’t have the same use defense feature to make it match Zacian

[@kiwi40238]

It was probably to keep it in check. Gen 9 has been such a massive power creep that the devs realised giving Zama body press isn't gonna be the end of the world.

[@Nitosa]

​@@kiwi40238"Zacian and Calyrex laughing in the background during gen 8" You can't in good conscience say that bodypress zama was so broken that it would break the camel's back, when both of those two criminals existed.

It’s hilarious how Zamazenta got Body Press and instantly shot up the tiers despite getting nerfed. Imagine Zamazenta with pre-nerf body press in gen 8. Would’ve been a great deal

[@TeeTop_]

It's like they nerfed Zamazenta from the get-go and made it less offensively capable on purpose because they knew letting it have Body Press would make it lethal.

[@dylanmorgan4681]

​ it would be on the same level as zacian, if not higher, which is insane

[@Gspoink]

It would not be the same tier as Zacian in gen 8 vgc, because that has Dynamax and standard zamazenta wouldn't be able to deal with it as well and it's still not as crazy as 170 +1 attack. But it will be good. For singles I still can't imagine how it will affect the bug 3 of ubers.

[@dylanmorgan4681]

It's a good counter to zacian though, and run it with some sort of rage powder/ follow me mons, and you probably sweep

[@Gspoink]

@@dylanmorgan4681 It's less good on other things that's not Zacian too. Calyrex Shadow and pals still existed and you dont have Pao or Lu to be a backup for it. Maybe Caly-S Zama core would be good idk.

[@YusufC51]

I know that 170 attack for Zacian sounds insane, but when you consider that Calyrex Ice has 165 attack and can hold clear amulet, I don't think it would have been that overpowered in this format especially with the Intrepid Sword nerf.

[@azuresky2200]

I think the problem is they are all over powered lol, the power creep that has gone on in recent generations with the legendaries is kinda ridiculous

I favored Zamazenta's design from the beginning and was disappointed by how overshadowed it was by Zacian (especially in its usefulness) ever since. Body Press was so necessary for it.

[@turkoositerapsidi]

Same. I got Shield because of course. Not just because Zamazenta itself, but shield is the superior weapon. Archers kill if no shield.

[@itztaytay2]

Pelipper is popular atm because it can replace the weather if their restricted is Groudon or Koraidon (or I guess snow but that's a lot rarer now). It also has Wide Guard which is super nice for the mentioned spam of spread moves from restricteds

[@whitecheeze_rf]

13:49 For Flying i think moves like Bleakwind Storm used a lot

[@itztaytay2]

Yo Michael Kelsch won it?? Their Showdown Handle is MichaelderDeBeste2, famously the absolute king of randbats. He literally always has the #1 slot. Guy is insane, good to see him doing well in VGC too

[@isaacmillen8789]

First regional win, which is surprising considering that he's a worlds runner up 😂

[@lordsceptile6181]

Pelipper is literally budget Kyogre, who’s here mainly as a counter to Groudon/Koraidon. Sun is super good right now, not only does it help those two but the Scarlet paradox Pokemon like Flutter Mane can run items without losing their ability. It also helps Incineroar and other fire types as the attack boost is actually really good. But rain not only removes the sun, but specifically counters many things good in sun like fire types and the sun duo. Pelipper is simply the best rain option that doesn’t take your legend

[@Galaxyboy6474_real]

I always loved zamazenta more than zacian

[@turkoositerapsidi]

[@SweetBananaDigital]

I can’t imagine why Zamazenta wouldn’t have gotten Body Press in Gen 8. I can only assume they thought it would be too broken, but they had no problem making Zacian, Urshifu, and the Calyrex riders in the same generation.

[@Jia-dw3bp]

Btw those usage stats are for day 2 of the tournament, meaning the top 32 players. When kyogre, groudon zacian have 3.1% usage rate it means that only 1 player was using them.

[@jasonhuynh8922]

[@daniellejackson6543]

It is complicated because while it has gotten better in vgc and even in smogon doubles ubers(tier 2 alongside Zacian), in singles it has fallen to the unofficial tier ubers uu due to a lack of viability. Also, another important thing mythicals can't be used in doubles is that arceus is tier 1 in doubles alongside calyrex shadow rider, miraidon, and koraidon whixh is kinda just neat to me. The difference between smogon doubles ubers and vgc is that 1 there are whole teams, and 2 there are no limits to restricted mons besides certain strategies so Zamazenta is just GOOD in doubles enough to be 2nd to the gen 9 box arts, calyrex shadow rider, and arceus.

Another way to properly balance Zamazenta and Zacian. Zacian's ability should increase the atk and sp atk by one stage instead of just atk, and Zamazenta's ability increase the def and sp def by one stage. Obviously Zamazenta gets much more bang for the buck and the sp atk for Zacian doesn't really do anything for it.

Prove this to be true with a damage calc

[@graysenVGC]

@@GravityIsFalling well it’s simple, sword of ruin cuts all Pokémon’s defense stats by 25% so it cuts Zamazentas defense stat and the opponents. Body press uses the defense stat. So if both stats are being multiplied by 0.75 then the result is the same
