Pokemon Moves With NO TYPE

Every move in Pokemon is given a type, which determines several things about how they function in game. A move's typing affects which Pokemon it deals super effective or not very effective damage against, whether the user gets the same type attack bonus, whether it activates certain abilities, and much more. But some moves don't have a type in certain cases, so that's what we're taking a look at today. Which game features a method to use a typeless Weather Ball? Which dark type move has always done physical damage, even before the physical-special split? Does Elias speak a lick of Polish? All that and more today on MEPlaysGames.

13:39 If Scovillain got a Hydreigon-like evolution, it probably wouldn't affect the trout population

[@GothitallicaALT]

I do not like Scovillain in the slightest but I did use one in my fire type gym leader run of Pokemon Violet because it would work well on the team. I’m usually willing to put my hatred of a Pokémon aside if it’s of use to me on a particular team

[@shardtheduraludon]

I mean I kinda have to feel bad for it. Imagine finally being the first mon of a long-wanted type combo, and then an objectively better mon of that type combo shows up a year later

[@dharrison6504]

That’s like the OPPOSITE of how it should be! You should play with the Pokémon you love, not because they’re good or bad, but because they’re the ones that make you the happiest!

[@shardtheduraludon]

Any chances the semicolon debate becomes its own member’s only video :P

[@MEPlaysGames]

Welp time to jump back into this video’s project file and get that conversation

[@gavinaaric]

Revelation dance is better tera blast that doesn’t become physical

[@SUPABROS]

basically the only reason you'd want physical revelation dance is if you are using a dancer ddance gimmick

[@gavinaaric]

@@SUPABROS no, what I meant is that rev dance is only good for special atkers

[@ijstinson8787]

I appreciate Scovillain’s unique typing and concept. Outside of peppers, I’m not sure how else to base a grass/fire Pokemon. With that said, I hate how butt ugly it is and how bad its stats are

[@djdrizzy9139]

Sunflowers, tikis, a burning bush to name a few.

[@ijstinson8787]

@@djdrizzy9139 oh yeah, love the tiki idea! I get the significance of the burning bush, but the concept of putting plants on fire seems too plain. Here’s hoping that Sunflora gets its evolution next gen!

[@AceAviations2]

The funny thing is that Future Sight ignored Wonder Guard in Gen 3 at least, this was part of a Battle CD in Pokémon XD where Future Sight was the ONLY way that you could take out a Shedinja. The Battle CD's were mostly puzzle fights with interesting solutions, the typeless ability-bypassing Future Sight was one of those unique solutions.

[@StarkidPhil]

When Iron; you'll time. Pretty turns despite balanced everything. Physical moves, they desire Jirachi's - Matt's poem

[@jvsilky]

The final fantasy bit got me pretty good I won’t lie.

[@Onthisgoodgreenearth]

13:18 i hate this language too Elias, i hate it too

[@cataglia]

Isn't stellar also typeless in a sense? Idk stellar always seemed so weird and mid

[@MEPlaysGames]

Not really, it just operates on a system independent of standard types. I guess you could make that argument though

[@shardtheduraludon]

Nah, Stellar’s just the result of some cretin that should get served up as some fancy soup down in Medali if they ever run out of Wartortle.

[@raygunner87]

Stellar is super effective to the Tera system typeless isn't super effective to anything

[@robertlupa8273]

13:15 Out of all the languages, why Polish? So that I could read it and see how horrible the auto-translation is? xD Speaking of which... "ground type" got translated to "earthbound/ground-based" ...huh, aside from sounding very stiff, there actually weren't too many translation errors. Neat, I guess.

[@Socioromanticism]

I propose the next Let's GO spinoff be set in Kalos where you follow a young Lysandre and his trusty Capsakid. Lysandre, after he loses Caspakid in a tragic incident, goes mad about the ugliness of the world. Even after his Capsakid returns, Lysandre cannot let go of his anger and begins his evil arc. You can call it _Pokémon: Le Scovillain._

[@gusteen3292]

A special case I would like to mention is Gen 1 Counter, Seismic Toss, and Night Shade. Unlike modern gens, the former 2 can hit Ghost-types and the latter can hit Normal-types, which isn't the case in later gens. I don't if they count as typeless since they are set damage moves, but they also don't utilize the type chart when factoring in immunities, making them typeless as well.

[@stormbreaker_101]

Let's hear the 2 minutes of just talking about semicolons guys. and the beat up specific vid. and as a wizard101 fan the word "shadow" hardly looks like a real word to me too dont worry i wont leave a comment abt scovillain >:3

[@kraquervc2]

Thank you Matt for speaking a bit slower!! I can enjoy the video without using the KZbin tool to slow it down. Keep on doing the great work, guys! ❤❤❤

[@Onthisgoodgreenearth]

Wait... If we remove the fire type from oricorio via burn up... Then we might have a good special flying type move that doesnt have any risk or smaller base power!!!

[@The_D_ray]

Serene Grace Jirachi not being banned is one of the reasons as to why I can't take Smogon seriously. Or competitive Pokémon in general. Also I love the spastic way you guys narrate the videos, kinda like in Scribblenauts and Lord of The Rings.

[@cheeseburgerlazers]

hyper beam caterpie?

[@MasterPatrick]

First time checking out this channel, and I now know what it's like to be inside the brain of someone tormented with ADHD. Semicolons are the best, Scovillain's not what I pictured a grass/fire type would look like, good to know that Caterpie can now theoretically solo a game, thanks for the Jirachi strategies/rant, and I'm happy that Groudon has a ball to splash around with.

[@Qbe_Root]

Other examples of moves that don't just use their own type for damage calculation include Freeze-Dry and Flying Press

[@GregHeffley-fo1kh]

I don’t even play competitive but I love these videos. You two write some funny and interesting videos.

[@an_mln]

11:25 there are actually, Fire, Ice, Electric, Poison and Magic types of damage

[@tomasz953]

scovillan is the only fire type with the ability chrolophill so it may can efective in sun teams

[@Keng04T]

Oricorio just like Furfrou and Squawkabillie were missed opportunities

[@thetrueoggamer429]

todays fun fact; scovillain is in the same egg group as honegde

[@robertlupa8273]

Lies! But I still believed it for a second because egg groups are _weeeird._

[@veghesther3204]

Most of those are crap so I have No need to really USE Future sight at all.

[@robertlupa8273]

5:37 Thank you for sparing our ears from ear torture.
