What If Pokémon had NO PRIORITY?

[@sometimesjoeyplays]

Quick Attack would simply be known as ‘Attack’

[@shepskydad]

My favorite would be ‘Impression’

[@somerandommusicianSRM]

Hey, they took the "trick" out of my "room!"

[@keris8708]

And Bullet Punch would just be 'Punch'

[@shooby117]

Extreme speed would be just extreme

[@dhaniyalageel1792]

Accelerock would just be “Rock”

[@unhappyninetales]

a world without priority sucker punch kingambit my biggest dream

[@shepskydad]

The king turns into the jester

[@passiveinternetuser]

And a world without bullet punch scizor is my biggest nightmare

[@lilianz-on9gb]

[@shepskydad]

Couldn’t _Protect_ themselves from that one!

[@Davi-zo4lu]

Trick Room would be really good, since the meta is defined by speed, Trick room would turn into a great way to counter fast pokémon. Just pluck it onto something fast and the move would go first, then it's gg

[@yukiizura]

That no priority battle was the most cursed thing I have ever seen, I need financial compensation DMing you my Paypal as we speak

[@ivanbluecool]

Bullet punch into punch. Quick attack attack. Extreme speed into speed. Just less interesting names

[@shooby117]

Mach punch is just punch. Jet punch is just punch. Sucker punch is just punch

[@mourningsun24]

Extreme Speed becomes Extreme

[@Evilraptorus]

Aqua Jet becomes Aqua, and Shadow Sneak becomes Shadow

[@filiporvik2782]

Last resort becomes resort (jk)

[@nicks.2457]

Wouldn't Extreme Speed be just "Extreme"?

[@colindion4611]

No priority will also benefit glass cannon pokemons. Since they no longer have to deal with getting taken out by priority moves which would usually ohko them since they tend to have poor defensive stats.

[@WillyLongLegs]

Custap destiny bond go brrr

[@joeschof_95]

Don't forget about the hugest form of priority, switching. If your swap happened after the opponent attacked the he game would just be a bunch of fast glass cannons trying to Ohko each other

[@CrimpyPlate]

One of the first things he said is he isn't going to touch that because it would basically be an entirely different game at that point

[@joeschof_95]

@ oh I missed that my bad

[@MementoMoriIlluminatusDrStrang]

A Game without priority or being a priority... are we talking about my love life?

[@XyrnaTheTrainer]

I’ll admit I hadn’t given much thought to how imperative priority moves are (both positive and negative). Thanks for such a detailed analysis! Great video.

[@Championoko]

EVERYONE would use trick room.

[@Qiel]

Even mons that don't need it since they can reverse it themselves.

[@jonasg.bisgaard1086]

Yeah. I feel like there would be whole strategies around setting up trick room with a fast Pokemon, and then switching into a slow heavy hitting or bulky Pokemon and finding of your opponent’s team.

[@duckbang1474]

that was most certainly a Video and also that battle felt so wrong im crying /pos

[@hatyyy]

toxapex doesnt even use baneful bunker half the time

[@cmonma-kf3qi]

This was a fun video! I think gliscor would continue to be a great mon. No spikes or tspikes damage, and the ability to set all hazards... Does it get whirlwind? Regieleki and cyclizar might end up rapid spinning with a choice scarf. Personally, i like cyclizar because it has knock for spin blockers.

[@berentlabrecque4641]

that battle was INCREDIBLY entertaining omg

[@Zo3yX]

10:28 alright thats too much slander. Its on sight now. Lol

[@carsonic_]

But... Pokemon will always have priority in my heart😭

[@deadriccow]

Can we talk about the Comfey section with the super long P word alliteration! Pretty impressive 👏

[@crazy-guy098]

My favorite attacks include, Attack, Aqua, Wave, Extreme, Impression, Shadow, Punch, Grass, Ice, Thunder (lol that another attack) and Rock. Guess which attacks I'm referring to

[@shooby117]

Punch can refer to like 3 different moves lol

[@Qiel]

You mean Grassy _____?

[@hailthequeenFM]

​There's only 2 punch moves with priority​@shooby117

[@hailthequeenFM]

Quick Attack, Aqua Jet, Vacuum Wave, Extreme Speed, First Impression, Shadow Sneak, Jet/Bullet Punch, Grassy Glide, Ice Shard, Thunderclap, Accelerock.

[@crazy-guy098]

@@Qiel yeah true

[@BruceBoyde]

Now I want something with an ability called "Dont be Hasty" or something that just negates all +priority when it's on field. The moves could still work, but in speed order.

[@specs.weedle]

Ok cool but once we get priority back can we give Hisuian Arcanine accelerock

[@PinkaholicOfficial]

no

[@Bruce_P-Z]

HEY. Shade did nothing wrong!

[@PokéJohn56]

Love your editing! What software do you use?

[@shepskydad]

Da Vinci Resolve! The free one :)

[@PokéJohn56]

@ dope thanks! Love your content, hope it keeps coming

[@ethanhess8230]

With your phasing moves thing we actually kind of have a way to see what this looks like: in hackmons regieleki with roar and sleep talk paired with comatose kind of does this. Comatose allows it to use sleep talk right away, and you will use whatever move sleep talk pulls with its priority level of 0 rather than the priority level of the move. if you only have sleep talk and roar you use roar without negative priority every tun and can pretty much completely shut down your opponent. Because of this, balanced hackmons banned comatose as an ability. It doesn't work with focus punch though since sleep talk is hard coded to not select it so it will fail.

[@Alister1310]

I can't imagine a world where I can't do fake out and surging strikes to instantly win the game but also no priority on ally switch would make the game more fun

[@googlerequired2323]

I found it interesting the topic came up from negative priority like roar, because any time I've had the thought it's been e speed spam that's brought it up. Also found the battle at the end more interesting than any stall team I've ever seen so 🤷‍♂️.

[@rockowlgamer631]

All slow pokemon would start to heavily rely on trick room just to keep up without priority. If they weren't already.

[@lvl5Vaporeon]

If there was no priority, then how'd these comments get here faster than my own? 😮

[@MercuryA2000]

Well you see, "Subscribe" doesn't actually boost priority. It's like tailwind: It makes you faster. Now "Patreon" on the other hand is just in shambles. Just completely wrecked.

[@ThatReplyGuy]

Considering the Speed Stat is already the most important Stat (at least in VGC), priority is way to limit its importance to a degree. That said, a special mode in Showdown that removes priority would be interesting.

[@Bingus743]

The only thing I could think of during the battle at the end was "Magic guard"

[@rangerecho]

I was wondering where you'd gotten lost, Shep. Amazing video as always! Any hint as to what type the next gym will be?

[@shepskydad]

I’ll give you a really weird clue! This will be the 8th video in the series, and the type happens to have 8 letters!

[@milesdurlam3407]

@@shepskydadok well it’s either electric or fighting. In my opinion these would be pretty difficult teams to build as most of the good ones are on the ban list. I already submitted a proposed electric team, and for fighting, I predict that sneasler, lucario, gallade and maybe breloom and conkeldurr would be on a fighting type team

[@cparle87]

Choice. Scarf. Focus. Punch. You're right. Saying it out loud DOES sound stupid.

[@demonkingofsalvation5380]

"Oshawott! Use Aqua!"

[@Noname-kx6bg]

Mycelium might

[@PKMN649]

Speed is already the most important stat in the game. Removing priority makes it even better not the best because it already was the best.

[@Zo3yX]

Never knew helping hand has plus 5 priority that's crazy.

[@pieklik3133]

Yes Yes! full hazard team + fast roar/whirlpool pokemons

[@sandile377]

Shep if no priority then why is sandile so fast?

[@SuperScizor6]

They slaughtered my boy!

[@AguywhodoesstuffwithstuffAndyo]

Extreme speed would be just extreme

[@TheForbiddenLean]

If there was no priority, then then there would be a backburner.

[@Lloydproductions4171]

Fake out would just be out

[@hotcheetoaddict5400]

Bro if trick room didn't have negative priority it would allow for a +speed bulky trick room whimsicott. Who will use their first turn to set up trick room and allow their slow tanks to come in and absolutely nuke the enemy team. And because no priority the faster team won't be able to to anything.

[@Mantis.Sartinoli]

So basically scarfed spore Toedscruel in every team

[@jefforear641]

Goodnight ❤🥳😴 Edit: Good morning! ☺️

[@ClarkM-v7m]

2:26 poligunk goes hard

[@Lefty-qe2dq]

What if two Pokemon with same speed stat uses quick attack

[@MercuryA2000]

In the event of a speed tie it just randomly picks one of you to go first.

[@hailthequeenFM]

The same thing it always does for speed ties.

[@Your_LocalWizard]

Sableye stock in shambles rn

[@jeremye1159]

1:55 You know what else is massive?

[@aftertheelectrike1847]

I'd feel bad for Scizor specifically. And Mightyena. We need sucker punch!

[@hatyyy]

In the phasing section, i was waiting for you to bring up Gholdengo, how did you not talk about gholdengo and yet bring up WIND RIDER for whirlwind.

[@shepskydad]

I can’t explain why but I ALWAYS forget about that ability 😂 It still can’t stand up to a fast Dragon Tail though!

[@KaioshinandPhione]

Also because speed is Really important without priority Sticky web will be Really Good Heck mayby Even string Shot Since it lowers speed by 2 stages And Icy Wind in Vgc Will become even more anoying

[@GaybrohamStinkton]

You promised Ptor that you would change the channel name...

[@robertlupa8273]

R.I.P. Scizor 😢

Simple. The world would be a better place.

Lack of priority? Blaziken viable in ubers again?

[@WiiFan-1300]

[@ComboFood]

Dragapult Dragon Tail would be in AG

[@robobot2805]

do you think quash would change?

[@EretikOfVoid]

Urshifu would just basically lose its passive Another purely positive thing about priority loss
