[@gabrielreyes3797]

I’ve been thinking about this problem for a full 14 minutes and 18 seconds, and I think the best answer I have is Snorlaxs and Sunkern. You have the Snorlax defend you while the Sunkern absolutely destroy everything else with solar beam. Jack is right, 10,000 of any Pokémon (that can do some form of damage) would be better than any of the other options.

[@kisukebomb3750]

I'd even take 10000 Cosmog, they'll be struggling long before even half of them are gone

[@K3wlG33k]

AND...you can probably spare half of the sunkern to set up lightscreen while the rest charge solar beam. That way the following turn, they can start charging and the rest fire their beams, not to mention they are specially defended by a lot of lightscreens. Then, while the first wave of solar beamed sunkerns recharge again, the second half are firing their shot. It's a never ending wave of solar beams! Muahahahahaha!

[@timtamtube3683]

[@SRam-dn8bi]

Same idea, but instead let the snorlax eat the sunkern and bullet seed.

[@Kaiser00Wilhelm]

Option 1: You find the mythical reverse Slaking that loafs around on Turn 1 and add a regular Slaking. You now have two Slakings loafing on alternating turns. Then you take the 10,000 Sunkerns, which are your death fodder. On the turns Slaking 1 is loafing, you send in the hoard as a meat shield for Slaking 2. This Sunkern shield alternates along with the Slaking. Option 2: You choose Ash and his plot armor protects you. You also take the Staravias because 50 Staravias using teamwork to beat back all these other Pokemon is absolutely something that would happen in an episode. My castle defense is perfect.

[@Eugene-fv6xj]

Well sunkerns can act as ultimate defense and offense with 1 using sunny day 100 using endeavor 1k grass whistles and the rest solar beams everything will be asleep with like 10 hp and assuming you don't have the worse rng possible its an ex carry by the sunkerns

Jack sold me tbh. Though I will say, given the stat total, 20k isn't much more than 10k. So I'd probably go Sunkern alongside Arcanine. Arcanine being generally agreed as the biggest Sunkern counter, as well as giving you, as the trainer, an option to maneuver about the battlefield, as I THINK it's the fastest among the choices. Except Ash. Ash is pretty fast.

Just stumbled across this video. Sunkern and Arcanine go hard. Taking Arcanine removes Sunkerns biggest weakness. Pop a Sunny Day and spam Growth, Solar Beam, Leech Seed, Synthesis, and Seed Bomb. It also had Ingrain and Grassy Terrain for insane healing. The Arcanine also has Sunny Day and Solar Beam. A bunch of STAB fire moves, some coverage with the elemenal fang moves, double kick and close combat, and extreme speed.

[@lexi3312]

Sunkern, absolutely. 10000 will beat everything else on the field by themselves. Just like the one with rats, people really don't understand how much 10000 is in this situation.

[@miffin4906]

They can use Solar Beam and sunny day Mix that with Arcanine and any other 1 pokemon You won't die

[@zapdite9410]

that works in regular combat, not in pokemon. Arcanines use heat wave, which will go first as sunkern is so slow, even scarfed sunkern wont outspeed the arcanines. Heat wave, as a spread move, will hit every sunkern, and one shot. We use staravia as the other choice, tailwind, air cutter as a spread move, intimidate. All other pokemon have -6 attack. And if we arent playing with video game mechanics, staravia uses fly. I leave.

[@lexi3312]

@@zapdite9410 depends on if you believe that a spread move that at most could hit the maximum amount of Pokémon in a horde battle could suddenly hit hundreds all at once in game. Besides, this isn't perfect EV trained if you got to decide all of their moves, this is if you got to decide the Pokémon that would be helping you.

[@zapdite9410]

@@lexi3312 I was arguing that staravia and arcanine would be the two choices you should take. So you taking them is not a relevant counter-point. And assuming that a spread move which has been shown to hit every pokemon on the other side of the field would continue to function like it does in game is not that much of a leap. ( I direct you to Wolfey's video on one of every pokemon vs. 1 billion lions). Also if we are assuming that it isnt in game so we dont decide movesets nor ev's then i assume that they can know more that 4 moves, heat wave being one of them. If we are not playing by the rules of the video games, then fine, but now i just get staravia to fly me away, as i said before.

Solar beam barrage

[@masonyoung1502]

The sunkerns are far and away the best choice. Even if you got none of the other Pokémon you would have more than 100 to 1 for each opposing Pokémon. Lets they are all hypothetically level 50. Even if you had max health IV and EV blissey and each sunkern was only doing one damage per hit the blissey wouldn’t even survive four turns. In reality tho you aren’t going to have the same health as blissey and the sunkerns are not only going to be doing 1 damage to everything. Also, with each Pokémon that the sunkerns kill the remaining Pokémon have even more sunkerns to face, resulting in a snowball effect that would easily win you the battle.

1 Sunkern casts sunny day. Now you have 9,999 solar beams ready to go. Nuke the field.

[@robbieq7814]

Here’s my idea. I choose arcanines and staravias. The arcanines run in, and go for the suncurns. Not because I’m scared of them, it’s because they’re pop into pop corn, now with the snorlaxes distracted, we lunge our atack, and when the snorlaxes are spiting out the popcorn because it was on the ground and had not salt or butter, we take only 5 of them out. On staravia snatches and gives me ashes master ball, and I use it on the alpha mityana, now the rest of the pack will obey me. And with a pack of mityanas, lead by 4 arcanines, we get food and give it to the snorlaxes, now they defend me. And now look! It’s an army of Pokémon, now it’s a garenteed win for me!

I’d also like to have the only ones that are capable of flying over the Sunkern and attacking me (the Staravia) to be on my side, thank you very much. No, wait. Ash has plot armour. If you stay with him, the writers will never allow you to die. Final decision: Ash Ketchum and the Staravia. Nothing can get you if you fly high enough.

[@AntiveganHeracross]

A strategy i didnt see anyone talkin about is simple: 10k sunkern and the arcanine because: 1:10000 sunkern means 10000 sunny days 2: Flamethrower boosted by 10k sunny days while the sunkern charge solar beam. That's it.

[@lindseylindsey9200]

You can’t stack sunny days but 9999 solar beams after one uses sunny day is intense

[@orionthegamer1]

I’m definitely with purple’s logic on sunkern, however, I would go 10k sunkern and the staravias. Reasoning: even if we’re assuming that this all out battle won’t apply normal turn based pokemon battling or even worst case, all the sunkern and staravia are level 1 and the rest are 100, I would still say we can probably apply some general turn rule that for every attack the attackers use, the defenders also get an attack (roughly). With that in mind, I look at 2 moves for the sunkern: endeavor and grass whistle. Endeavor would do big damage early (though even 1 damage at a time, 10000 sunkern is up to 10000 damage and going 1 at a time, not 1 damage would be wasted on an already fainted pokemon) and grass whistle gives me some extra time to whittle away at their hp. Now the staravia choice is for 2 reasons. 1. The keep me up and away from the fight. 2. That takes gust (and other similar flying moves) out of the opposition that would be a problem for my sunkern. The main problem besides them is the arcanine group. But there’s only 4 and they will quickly fall to the sunkern army before they can do any significant damage to my 10k strong army. tl;dr 10k sunkern = unbeatable action economy and staravia keep me at safe distance.

[@petelee2477]

There is the possibility of the arcanine's being able to take out the sunkurns with heat wave or weaken their special attack with snarl. Issue is heatwave has a chance to miss. Normally 90% is good odds but all 10,000 sunkurn have a chance of dodging heatwave.

An if you use staravia why don't you just fly away

[@Magnamaster]

People keep forgetting that Ash can single-handedly both Beatdown a vigoroth and a Snorlax with a punch he's essentially Goku he both lifted a Nebi and punched a heatran so he cannonically not only has superhuman strength he also has the reflexes of a Pokemon Ranger AKA Tarzan so he's Batman with superhuman strength on top of that Snorlax can learn Shadow Ball Hyper Beam Ice Beam flamethrower and 1 Hyper Beam takes away like 2000 5000 sunkern one Hyper Beam and they're dead Staravia is not going to do anything to you if you're literally just a thousand pounds of fat but they also don't realize that Snorlax can run with that thousand pounds of fat and concussive force behind whatever he needs to hit physically on top of that you can run it like 30 miles per hour

[@goldenreflection2811]

Using non-Pokémon terminology: Action Economy is important (only 2 or 3 in battle at a time, only mostly 1 per turn, and so on) so for the first one, 10,000 sunkern and the 50 staravia.

[@Jan-hn9bx]

hear me out.....staravia and sunkern.basically, the staravia will swallow 200 sunkern each,then fly as high as possible and shoot the sunkern out like bullets.imagine 50 military drones shooting 200 bullets each,theres no way anyone survives that Then,once only the slaking and snorlax are left,the sunkern will spam solar beam while staravia defend

[@HavikLaosBoi69]

My choice is basically Mikey’s. Also in the most leveled way without making him overpowered as a choice: let’s say Ash has the option to use the master ball on one of the other Pokémon (instead of saying he has an OP Pokémon he has or never had caught), he’s at least given the option to teach a caught Pokémon TMs and have a coverage. This way his choice can make him any bit on par with other options but not be OP.

My choice would be the 5 Snorlax and 4 Arcanine:) Snorlaxes can just crush everything with Body Slams and the Arcanines just Flamethrower or Earthquake everything. I do agree Purplecliffe's idea is brilliant.

[@noelangelopaglinawan2003]

I had the same idea, random person! :>

[@jacobballenger5181]

Everyone missed how good staravia and arcanine actually are here. Arguably two of the fastest choices, and nobody said you had to defeat. you ride an arcanine off into the sunset, with the speed of 50 tailwinds behind you. See the sunkern, slaking, and snorlax in 20 years, whoever is left would be a clean sweep for my team.

Everyone missed that? Staravia and arcanine were what Mikey picked

[@Zumikaku]

I went on pokemon showdown’s damage calculator and did the math 10,000 Sunkerns can solo everyone else Assuming everyone is level 100, neutral natures, no EVs. Here’s the max damage everyone can do in one turn (we’ll round up to estimate how many Sunkerns they can take out with one move): Tauros’s Giga Impact: 231.8% (3 Sunkerns) Staravia’s Brave Bird: 293.5% (3 Sunkerns) Seviper’s Cross Poison: 217.9% (3 Sunkerns) Slaking’s Giga Impact: 349.7% (4 Sunkerns) Mightyena’s Fire Fang: 123.3% (2 Sunkerns) Arcanine’s Flare Blitz: 402.9% (5 Sunkerns, we’re being very nice by rounding up here) Snorlax’s Giga Impact: 252.2% (3 Sunkerns) So the biggest threat is Arcanine taking out up to 5 Sunkerns in 1 turn. For simplicity’s sake, let’s just round everyone’s damage up to 5 Sunkerns (7+50+10+2+15+4+5)x5 = 465 Sunkerns KO’d in 1 turn 10,000 - 465 - 1 caught by Ash’s Master Ball = 9,534 Sunkerns remaining Next let’s see how many Sunkerns using Absorb it takes to KO each of these Pokemon. Here’s the minimum damage absorb does to everyone: Tauros: 4.4% (23 Sunkerns to KO) Staravia: 3.5% (29 Sunkerns) Seviper: 1.9% (53 Sunkerns) Slaking: 2.9% (35 Sunkerns) Mightyena: 5.3% (19 Sunkerns) Arcanine: 1.8% (56 Sunkerns) Snorlax: 1.9% (53 Sunkerns) So the hardest Pokemon to take down is Arcanine again, needing at most 56 Sunkerns using Absorb to KO. The thing is, there are 93 opposing Pokemon total, and we have 9,534 Sunkerns left. We could say that each opponent takes 100 Sunkerns to KO and we would still have enough to KO every other Pokemon, with 200 Sunkerns left to attack Ash. Unless Ash can withstand hundreds of Absorbs and somehow kill you with his single Sunkern in a Master Ball, the Sunkerns have absolutely stomped in 1 turn. Conclusion: 10,000 Sunkerns can defeat any opponent, and Jack with 20,000 Sunkerns has just become a god.

[@Tchnfrq]

purplecliffes answer is even more mental than i expected. he truly is the most chaotic neutral youtuber i know.

[@Cool-Vest_Leo]

I have two strategies. In the first one, my Sunkern army uses grass whistle, and then the Snorelaxes just start sweeping with Sleep Talk. In the other scenario, the Snorelaxes form a rest wall while the staravias eat all of the Sunkerns and evolve. while

[@KiryuZer0]

Well if we go by pokemon rules and say every pokemon has X PP for its moves and max 3vs3 pokemon, the right choice would be the sunkerns and staraptor the other pokemon would be out of PP and the Staravia could sand attack all so they miss meaning loosing more PP

[@tgcgtheviewer]

Purplecliffe: YEAH BUT WHY NOT 20,000 SUNKERNS?!

[@MoosedUp]

I fully agree with you. Picking 50 staravia and the sunkurn makes the staravia invincible. No other choices have range. 10 thousand sunkern added together is a BST of 1.8 million. That’s way to much to overcome. The 10000 sunkern could solo all of them

[@Redfork2000]

If you choose Staravias and Sunkerns, that would mean that in total, there would be 44 enemies, combining everyone else. That means that for each enemy on the field, you have 1 Staravia and 200 Sunkerns (actually a bit more, since that's if there were 50 enemies), which I think is more than enough to win.

[@enderzi5097]

This is literally the same answer as the original animal one. And it is right.

[@enderzi5097]

Because 10,000 rats can easily kill anyting

[@dannywilliams4440]

I agree with Jack. 20000 sunken? Let's say each Pokémon, including Ash's Pokémon and a sunken he catches with the masterball. That's 177 Pokémon Vs 19999. On average, each Pokémon has 45 pp combined, plus 8 struggle turns. 177 X 53 = 9381. The sunkern will outlast by pure numbers.

[@phoenixamber6497]

For me, I'd pick Ash. If we decide to let him use any Pokemon that he had in the anime that is back with Professor Oak, he has so many options to wreck everything. Also, I'd pick the Sunkerns too because they would basically be like locusts, swarming everything and firing off Solar Beams everywhere as long as its sunny.

[@Just_a_Dragon69]

Just a little math: 4 arcanine vs 10000 sunkern 1 flamethrower = 50 sunkern You can burn: 3000 sunkern if your PP is 15x4 4800 sunkern if your PP is 24x4 Meaning that there is still 7000 - 5200 sunkern to take care, and you already out of PP

[@cosmoniums5990]

Those who know anything about dnd would choose a thing action economy, and pick the sunkern since you’d be able to get 10000 fairly weakly attacks to their what like 36ish attacks at most if you choose the staravia. Even against the strongest pokemon, a ten thousand one damage attacks are gonna be able to more than knock it out.

[@chucklesda1345]

2 slaking and 4 arcanine. The slaking hit the ground at the same time, creating an earthquake that sends up pebbles at such a high velocity that they shred through staravia. The earthquake stuns all the Pokémon, but by having two Slaking diagonally with arcanine and me in the middle, then the earthquake contradicts each other, and the tectonic plates under us clash with enough force to make a mountain under my feet. The arcanine start melting the mountain, and by the time the mountain is liquid but still has shape, the slaking have recovered. They punch the molten mountain, and molten lava goes everywhere, with the force creating heat, fully melting the mountain and the lava goes everywhere, destroying all the Pokémon.

[@zombify6749]

Staravia and sunkern are best ones, massive birds carrying massive beams from the sun (solar beam) and just putting them to sleep

[@FuntimeLetsPlays]

So assuming that all moves work like how they do in the games, I would go with the mightyenas and the staravias, mightyena learns roar at a decent level and assuming all these pokemon are wild, the fight is pretty much over if they spam roar. Also the staravias are there using double team, distracting all the other pokemon, ash misses his master ball throw and then I take it to catch an arcanine to burn the Kerns and also use roar

[@suhaasvemula4100]

[@CantFindAName000]

My choices: The Two Slakings and and Fifty Staravia. I'm choosing the Staravias for the same reason as Mikey, that they all have intimidate and are the only flying type Pokemon out of the choices. I picked the Slakings because if the both have truant, I could just make one attack first, then make the other one attack while the first one is slacking off, the two of them blasting Solar Beam after Hammer Arm after Slack Off. Also, I feel like twenty-five Staravias could definitely carry a Slaking, so imagine an airborne army of birds with big, fat, superweapons carried under their talons.

[@Lordmewtwo151]

10,000 sunkern in a circle around me, blasting solar beams at distant attackers and compact giga draining anything that gets too close, healing themselves in the process, and the 50 staravia, to 1. Eliminate the flying threat, and 2. Whirlwind things away to buy time for the sunkerns

At the beginning of this video I was thinking that Jack was going to pick the sunkern and would not be able to explain it in any way that made sense other than to his Gigantamax head. At the end of the video I realized that there was a reason that everyone says he has dynamax brain.

[@ninjaboyben4489]

I would use the staravias and snorlax. All the snorlax would be equipped with counter so they could deal huge amounts of damage whilst taking minimal in return. The staravias are all level 35 and need a smidgen of exp to level up so they all gain exp and evolve giving me 50 powerful staraptors. Then one could swoop down and steal ash's master balls. I specifically say balls in plural because Ash by thee time the screenshot was taken had already visited 5 regions and has had a chance to steal each of those region's master balls. And according to this logic, Ash should theoretically have 5 master balls and thus I would catch the arcanines and one of the tauros or seviper or mightyena.

[@An_Entire_Lime]

Ash has visited 5 regions and COULD steal 5 masterballs, but he didnt, the option isnt a theoretical ash that did whatever you feel like saying he did, its ash and a masterball, thats it Also nice Delta pokemon pfp

[@Smartie234]

Just a thought that was Inspired by PurpleCliff's out-of-the-box-thinking: maybe Ash would be a great choice. Because The Power Of Anime, determines that everyone in his close proximity will be fine no matter what happens. You could go to space and be fine, be attacked by pokemon and be fine, become a statue and be fine, drown and be fine, die and still be fine because he once came back to life. If I just hold onto him for my life, than my life is fine until the whole battle is over.

[@wet0wl]

I’m with Jack on this one. Could you imagine a Pokémon battle with that many Pokémon? Combined their base stat total is 3,600,000 (if we assume we’re allowed 20k) Mikey had a good alternative but applied both game logic and irl logic. Flamethrower is a single target move so it couldn’t hit all the sunken at once which would probably lead to the demise of the arcanines. Snorlax does learn earthquake which could be bad however a lot of the sunkerns would most likely be out of the range of earthquake so that could mean that a lot survive. In conclusion, 20k sunkern for the win.

Well, in my opinion the snorlax and arcanine would be the best choice cause The snorlaxes can create a box around you so that even when they die their dead bodies will still protect you from attacks, and the arcanines could obliterate all of the pokemon.
