Pokemon Scarlet and Violet In-game Tier List THE PREMIUM - Mankey Madness | 1st Segment!

[@An_Entire_Lime]

Truly a certified Spidops moment, it doesnt even get Spider Trick

[@ImportedCheese]

If Spidops set Sticky Web upon switching in, would it be good?

[@An_Entire_Lime]

@@ImportedCheese Yes for the speed control against Geeta's Avalugg, on the fictional universe where Avalugg is good and also a pure steel type

[@spindash64]

@@ImportedCheeseI mean, Pelipper is good in competitive just for Drizzle alone, so even if Call of Duty Spidops is too slow to use webs, basically making your entire team 50% faster is really good It wouldn’t be GREAT, but it would have at least something to write home about. It’s better to be an unviable but fun gimmick than to be just bad at EVERYTHING. Shit, at least Ariados got stab Sludge Bomb in GSC (trash type coverage, but high base power and basically a 1/3 chance to do an extra 12% and make it easier to 2 shot) and Sucker Punch in HGSS (Priority move that hits psychic Pokémon upside the head)

[@phoebe5114]

@spindash64 funny enough, Ariados actually has a small niche in DPPt Ubers. It has a functional matchup against Deoxys-S as a surprise anti-lead who can help kill it to limit how many hazards it can set and how much mischief it can cause. Big Yellow has a video detailing it, the one about niche movesets in competitive Pokemon I *think.* So yeah, Ariados 100% does more than Spidops lol

[@honeycrisp808]

@@ImportedCheese im convinced that would be busted actually. speed is pretty much everything, and there was a point in time people were running shuckle leads in gen 6 ubers just for sticky web. it'd almost be the same as trick room being set on switch in.

[@svansiian2050]

Fun fact : when we were in 6th grade, me and my friends use to play a game where we pretended to be rulers of a fictionnal country. We divided the country into 4 different regions so that we can each rule one of them, and since we had no imagination, we called them Area 1, 2, 3 and 4. Guess Gamefreak hires 6th graders

[@ImportedCheese]

6th graders would try a bit harder, I think

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

When I was in sixth grade, ours were the Mortal Kombat country, the Warcraft 3 country, the weeb necromancer country, and what I think was a poorly explained Gundam or Macross or something like that country.

[@piscenicprodigy8816]

i am of the opinion that Dudunsparce is the BEST thing that they could have done with Dunsparce. They made an old meme a reality, made dunsparce potentially usable if you really want to use it, and they kept the spirit of the tsuchinoko, by making it really shit. also, isn't the tsuchinoko's special cryptid power that it can bite it's tail and roll like a tire or something? it's not *just* a fat snake.

[@ImportedCheese]

I agree

[@Leet-iz2fz]

It also drinks alcohol and tells lies IIRC

[@lillith7257]

Yeah it's meant to be a joke Pokemon. That's the whole thing and the best they could have done with it. Making it some outlandish Evo would mean its not Dunsparce anymore. Pokefanbase sometimes just needs to let pokemon be who they're meant to be. Things can be funny instead of cool or cute.

[@PapaRoboto]

Some tips I wanna add; Level 2 Squawkabilly spawn on your house at some point (I haven't tested how soon they spawn) An electric Oricorio spawns up the hill, below the small cliff directly to the right of the first pokécentre. You can catch Flabébé south of the insect gym town, in a green field north of the stream. However, the Snom you get from the trade, you might find to be lacking. You can catch Applin from some of the trees, further north after Artazon, where Spidops spawn, and I'm pretty sure you can buy dragon encounter boosting food in Artazon, too. You can ground Iono's Mismagius with that one rock move. My Naclstack had it, and I taught it a ground move, too, so that's how I beat it. I assume you can catch high level 'mons before you can command them, and have them breed, so you can get, like, an "early" Tatsugiri, or something. A cloud 9 Psyduck might be able to cancel overworld weather. There is a flying type wandering terrastalized Meowth that appears close to the Insect g city (IIRC). I taught it false swipe, and it's been in my party ever since. Breloom can know both false swipe and spore (so long as you don't evolve it's prior form before it learns spore). Maybe try to catch one from a normal terra raid, for the terrastalize damage buff, or change a normal one's terra type at the Treasure Eatery. The League Rep in Medali gives you the coin charm. Dedene is the only Pokémon species that has Pickup, and that doesn't evolve, so you could farm random items (the wiki hasn't been updated I think) with them. Do not capture a low level Gimmighoul, their moveset is horrendous. Also, don't forget it's a special attacker, so use the appropriate TMs on them. Multi-turn moves (like dig) might be good for raids, since they let you spend less time in menus. They're probably not that good on high level raids, though. If you plan to pick a new Pokémon and boost it's level with candies for a big fight, keep it from evolving until you reach that level, and teach it the moves it learns along the way. I did this with a Zorua for the ghost gym, and because I didn't let it learn it's strong moves early, when I let it become a Zoroark, it couldn't relearn them through the menu. I had to use TMs on it. And lastly, you can come up with some pretty creative outfits, as long as you play as a girl, since most clothes in this game are cute, and not cool. Side note: Why doesn't Penny wear a uniform?

[@ImportedCheese]

Thank you for the tips

[@xyzmanizator]

Jumpluff was my most used Pokemon for the first part of the game because going first with sleep powder is OP in dex runs until you get to gym 6 and can buy quick balls. Actually, it grew to level 60 before I got access to Breloom knowing Spore. Also 55 attack is a huge bonus if you're aiming to hurt instead of killing.

While I do agree with the Azumarill/Medicham placements the early availability of the bands does make it really easy to slap them on so you passively gain more EVs in the stats that matter. Do you need to do this? no, but you can and it's not a hassle like breeding for nature/IVs.

Intimidate is an actively bad ability for in-game. It forces the slow stat drop animation and text box every time you send it out, and the attack drop is useless because why are you getting hit?

[@creeper628]

I love your content and the editing for the length is amazing! But I'd say personally Fuecoco maybe overrated still better than sprigatito but worse than Quxly. Fuecoco from my playthrough ran into again and again Pokemon with flash fire immunities. There are surprisingly a lot of Houndooms, Flareons, and Dashbuns especially in the "important" battles later in the game. Which normally would not be a problem but needing to use choice scarf to gain the speed advantage(I used it since even with High speed Ev's and a speed boosting nature I would be 10+ level's above pokemon and still being outsped) . While not from use but just looking at stat's Quaxly already has the stats to do what you would want it to do and only gets perfect from even 1 speed boost from aqua step. Also I would like to point out that as your main attack move torchsong's 80 power leaves something to be desired. Like even over leveled with your good special attack I would commonly need to hit pokemon that had a resistance to it 2 to 3 times to rack up my special attack boosts because of how weak the base power is. Compared to Quaxly which with 120 attack and amazing attacking set of like acrobatics/Close combat/wave crash/aqua step would just KO the opposing pokemon with a neutral hit and already be on the next. Also small thing I'm surprised Basculin is in sea with 92 attack and 98 speed. A mono but good type and a good abilliy is it because of aviability heavily weighed against it?

[@ImportedCheese]

Having just finished the Only A run a few minutes ago, I still think Fuecoco is the best lol the scarf isn't 100% necessary, as long as you can torch at least once your other moves get so much stronger that you should be able to win

[@oscarcapac1786]

I tried to use Basculin in B2W2 (lower power level) and I can confirm it's textbook sea tier. It can't switch in because of its low defenses and struggles to OHKO neutral targets. It's filler at best

[@sparkypikachu7776]

Hey Cheese ! Too bad to hear you don't like SV, I had a lot of fun. It's terribly buggy but still a really good game imo For the placements, I'll only talk about Pokémon I used in game, in the same conditions as your tier list. Houndour/Houndoom : not sure this goes to Area 1. Most of the game, his stab is Incenerate (bp60) before you get the Dark Pulse TM. It's fast but misses a lot of OHKO. Its base def, at 50, is low enough that it ended most major fights fainted in my playthrough. Still pretty good but a major victim of the powercreep over generations Jumpluff : Deserves a bump to area 3. It's OK. Very early stabs bullet seed and acrobatics ensure 2hkos on super effective targets despite his terrible base atk, which is all you need from a support/defensive mon. Fast sleep powder makes it an excellent capture bot before you can buy quick balls (which is 2/3 into the game). Gets uturn for free switches. I honestly used this as much as my starter, though for different purposes Quaquaval : op, easy Area 1. Always has good stabs, strong and fast enough to sweep. Great starter Nacli line : area 1 for titan cheese, very mediocre otherwise Garchomp : you can capture a gabite lv 40ish right before the 7th gym and evolve it with candies immediately. Has a bad learnset, so it will miss some ohkos before getting Outrage/EQ TMs but still good when you get it. Area 2 Will comment about other pokémon I used in segment 2.

You can't turn off animations in the game with the laziest animations in the series. You can't make this shit up.

[@ImportedCheese]

Don't worry, they'll fix it in DLC wave 3

[@cooldude6269]

Azumarill is absurdly broken and damn near solos the game, it’s stupid strong and gets high power moves in the 20s. The one I caught route 1 was in the front of my party the whole time and did everything with me.

[@DaikoruArtwin]

Cool, now I can do a full run where I'm only allowed to use Paldea's finest Pokemons! ... Which I totally would have if I had any intention of ever playing this game.

[@ImportedCheese]

Pls don't buy this

[@AstrumKitten091]

I love the dog joke at the start. and also when you act like the "characters" in the game. I legit fell for the MAcho brace thing, despite completing the game twice because its the type of mechanic i would never engage with anyway to know. I used clodsire without knowing clodsire existed. I agree with everything you said about it, although it did have an ability i kinda liked. Too bad i forgot what it was. I got a Tatsugiri but wastred like 7 levels on it and it didnt evolve so i stopped. It looks ok but I was hoping it evolved. ( I get it's gimick now, i just meant at the time I was rather dissapointed). Instead I found Godzilla lol.

[@ImportedCheese]

Surely they'll add the Macho Brace mechanic in the third wave of SV DLC...

Gulpin is great at one thing though: being derpy and cute

[@ImportedCheese]

Worthless!! Gulpin deez nuts!!

An open world game without level scaling is fine. But not for an open world _Pokemon_ game's gym leaders!

[@ImportedCheese]

The wild pokemon don't have to scale, I guess

[@mattdeluccia153]

On my first playthrough I stumbled on and caught a tera-ground Magikarp in a raid. I went to inlet grotto and got the Dragon Dance TM. I later beat all the desert trainers for the Earthquake TM. The rest of the game was beyond a joke.

[@SteveScapesYT]

Hard disagree on Quagsire- if you actually use it, and especially if you manually play “set” mode, this is so useful, find yourself switching to it soo often, it’s stab types work well together, gets lots of good filler moves of both types, and sooo useful against Iono’s while team. Toxic Spikes really good for most major battles

[@ImportedCheese]

Horrific stats and never ever moves first, I'm not convinced

[@EpixClodz]

@@ImportedCheesesome people like to take it slow with Pokémon like stall team users. They are proven to be very effective.

Such value out of these 100円 gloves! Two intros!

[@icarusavery5691]

25:10 "It's the Magician Pokémon, but it's a physical attacker?" exactly: it's a physical attacker because it's a magician, not a wizard or sorceror or something. Its "magic" is all tricks and sleight of hand.

[@obits3]

Fun fact: If you use the battle warp exploit, you can get to nearly all of the Pokémon before you even fight the first Nemona Tera Battle. Oh, and if you’re worried about loyalty, just get a ditto and breed them. In short, nearly every Pokémon can be used to do all the stories.

That's so much work to get lv 1 pokemon tho
