[@gioanysgonzalez3396]

Crobat should have been mentioned too. Not only is it a fairy killer but it’s also very fast, has decent bulk, can learn a ton of moves, and it’s has tons of great match up thanks to its Poison/Flying typing.

[@TridentH20]

I usually plan my teams in advance and I didn't plan to have crobat (not that I don't like it, I do. I just use it way too much) but I was in a cave and was like aw a zubat. I could use a crobat for later.... then I just slapped it on my team because in my head I knew the pokemon I wanted came way later anyway. Long story short I had crobat before gardenia and it was another "oops! My crobat carried my playthrough!" Moment

[@frantschou2369]

Well being a fairy killer isn’t as important in these games, since the only notable ones you’ll encounter throughout the game are Clefable,Azumaril, Gardevoir and Togekiss but other than that i agree, crobat is great and the fact that you can get zubat really early just makes it even better

[@christopherbennett5858]

Plus, with access to Mean look, it could be useful against roaming legendaries

I found a zubat in the grand underground with zen headbutt and then bred my crobat with my wing attack staravia to mop the floor with malene’s entire team as a golbat and after I beat lucario it evolved for me

Drifloon is well worth considering as it comes at level 22 with shadow ball right after valley windworks. It also has at least 3 max IVs for some reason, despite not being a gift or fossil. It takes out Gardenia and Maylene with no issues and evolves fairly early at level 28. Unburden can also be quite fun to take advantage of.

[@RicAdbur]

Azumarill can get a hidden move called "Sap Sipper" which not only makes it immune to grass type moves, one of it's few major weaknesses, but also boosts it's attack stat whenever someone tries to use a grass move against it.

[@pkmntrainerian1092]

You can't get HAs in game - at least not until the Battle Tower, in which you need 200 BP

[@davidkwan9906]

That isn't enough to justify having it over huge power, it literally doubles your attack, u don't need to get yourself hit by a grass type move for the boost.

[@jacobrichards2334]

Lol I am glad you said the warning at the beginning because I was like haven't I watched this already?! haha

[@jamesward5363]

I actually used an Alakazam on my team and the move set that I used for it was psychic, Shadow Ball, dazzling gleam, and grass knot

[@DonJay00001]

You can get the shiny stone as early as Valley Windworks. Just catch a couple pickup Pachirisus, get them to level 10 and grind some battles with low level wild pokemon and wait. It literally took me longer to get 5 pickup Pachirisus than it took for them to find 2 shiny stones.

[@michaelmurphy6278]

Ok so Ive been trying to do this, I have 3 pickup pachirisus, and they rarely pick up anything. Where were you picking up shiny stones? Ive been trying the underground

[@DonJay00001]

@@michaelmurphy6278 The where doesn't matter. They have a chance to pickup an item after a battle. You need to get them to level 10 because that's when the shiny stone enters the pickup table. I just grinded some low level pokemon outside floaroma, route 205 I think. Really any area is good with low level pokemon your main mon at the front of the party can one-shot. I suggest an area with lvl 2-5 bidoofs so that the pachirisus don't gain too much exp per battle. Between lvl 20-21 the chance to pickup a shiny stone decreases to 3% instead of the previous 4 (will bounce back to 4 after lvl 30). Just grind battles, faint the wild pokemon, check whether or not the pachirisus picked up something, then rinse and repeat. If they picked something up after a battle, then take it away from them as they can't pickup another item as long as they are holding one. Maybe i got really lucky, but it took me about 20-30 minutes tops to get two shiny stones. Took way longer to get the 5 pickup pachirisus. Hope this helps, good luck.

I loved playing with Mismagius. It was my first time playin with this Pokémon and it carried my team. Had it with Shadow Ball, Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, and Thunderbolt.

[@Anonix123]

is it actually good in BDSP? I remember using Mismagius in my Heart Gold playthrough and it kept getting KO’d with one hit in most battles. I kept it for the remaining of my journey hoping it’d get better at some point but it turned out to be sort of wasted slot in my team as I beat elite four. Idk, maybe I evolved it too fast or something but it was really bad

[@silverfox41]

A pokemon that I totally recommend is Ambipom, if u catch an aipom in the underground it can have fake out and run away ability, but when it evolves that ability becomes technician. Now imagine a Stab, technician boosted fake out, that is a 90 base power fake out, alongside with a stab technician double hit, that is 157,5 base power move because it hits 2 times. I used one and it defeated Cynthia's garchomp with a fake out and a double hit

[@ang3r3dv3t]

Great video! I remember my dad raising a Clefable in Blue version. It's Body Slam used to mess my Mewtwo up. Keep in mind I was all attack attack attack lol. No Recover/Barrier/Amnesia.

[@BrayPlaysNin10do]

I chose drapion as my false swiper, happy to hear that was a good decision

[@bricker7244]

I think Gastrodon deserves more credence. Shellos/Gastrodon hard counters so many fights it's not fair. The defensive typing alone is huge, but consider that you can get it very early on, it only learns its best moves thanks to the attacks removed in Gen VIII (meaning that by level ~35-40 it knows Ancient Power, Muddy Water, Earth Power, and you can give it the TM for Ice Beam), and it gets Recover. It's only super effective weakness is Grass, and there's very few key fights with Grass types (just one gym, your rival's Torterra or Roserade, Candice's Abomasnow, and Cynthia's Roserade). Azumarill is a powerhouse but Gastro is way more useful and consistent that, say, Drapion as a tank. Not to bash Drapion, but Poison/Dark STAB covers far less than Water/Ground STAB.

[@ToontownAndCpenguin]

I wound up tossing a Clefable onto my team a while back, I wanted to run a fairy type but I also wanted access to an ice move so I back tracked a bit to catch myself a Clefa & it evolved into Clefairy quite quickly because I spent hours running around with it on my team in the Grand Underground trying to dig up a moon stone, I found like three sun stones but no moon stone & my friend told me that he found a moon stone so I traded with him, gave him a sun stone & he gave me a moon stone. He put in on a Munchlax with pickup which was great because I utilized that to get myself a shiny stone earlier than I would have, I have a Roserade on my team, I was actually planning on using Carnivine as my grass type but I found a shiny Budew in Eterna Forest so I decided to slap that into my team instead. All the running around I did in the Grand Underground did wonders for friendship, I evolved my Budew really quickly as well, even tried to do an honor battle with my Roselia against Gardenia's Roserade, bad idea but hey, I wanted my Roselia to believe it was strong. My Roserade can wipe the floor with Gardenia's now but it's not fair if I tried, it is now level 50. I have 7 badges.

The link to your Discord doesn’t work. I was trying to join but the link doesn’t take me there. Just wanted to let you know so you could fix it if you wanted to!

[@mj-kx2kw]

roserade (bodies cynthia) and houndoom (taunt is clutch) were my mvps in the elite 4 & cynthia

[@felixb.8299]

Gallade was so strong as well. It has so many good matchups especially against team Galactic. Psychic/fighting is such a good typing in this game

[@MouthPeaceCorbett]

Damn I couldn't find ralts in the gu, but I wanted one on my team so bad.

[@lukehahm9147]

I was gonna run gallade instead of gardevoir but I didnt find a dawn stone in time. Still worked out tho bc I used calm mind/dazzling gleam to setup as a sweeper

[@felixb.8299]

@@MouthPeaceCorbett Same... I already wanted one in eterna city but couldn't get it. But then I found one afterwards.

OMG!!!! HE MENTIONED DRAPION!!!! YES!!!!!! LOVE YOU MYSTIC!!

[@nerdalert4854]

Glad to see my favorite pokémon (houndoom) make the list

[@blazinlatino89]

You should make a team list using only gen 4 pokemon I'm actually surprised more people don't do this I always play the games using only their new Pokemon or the ones that were new when their gen came out specifically I think it's a really fun way to play

[@blindgirluk1845]

I do the same

[@joshmarkham2382]

Hey mystic will u do a best team for a rom hack called enclment emerald? Plz

[@Ticklescream]

I just finished the 8th gym fight and so far my Toxicroak and Houndoom have been making quick work on any in game content.

[@TheTrueMorse64]

14:35 I got my Gabite to evolve into Garchomp just before I challenged the 7th Gym, of course I did grind a bunch to get it (and Lucario) to be the same level as the rest of my team (and I might be a bit over leveled) but it is possible if you really want to use it (like I did)

[@sketchtheparadigmyork1217]

One reviewer complained about the music… I LOVE the updated music, because it’s still reminiscent of the original.

[@igornunez7888]

Golem is one of my favorite Pokémon and I’ve never had one in a Pokémon game because of the prerequisites for traveler to evolve

[@ShavsMediaProductions]

Hands down a Misgagius with Mystical Fire, Thunderbolt, Psychic and Shadow ball is the absolute BEST thing to have on your team. That pure ghost typing is incredible coupled with its ability to tank plenty of hits and dish them out. It single handedly can sweep a third of the game in the first slot of your party. I should know owo 👌

[@Glorubenn]

Yea Im loooking for misdreavus but I can’t find her :///

[@andysnider6984]

Lucario is better

[@TheNitoGaming]

With togekiss having 5 weaknesses and having tried mr mime already I can say mr mime is a solid choice too. Also can have a slot move for coverage to help your other mons or even a screen and is good taking sp damage.

[@kaotic300]

glad to see mah boi houndoom on the list :)

[@stogie8773]

Don't sleep on hipowden that pokemon is a beast especially if ya want a ground type instead of grinding out a gible to get garchomp

[@moony2626]

My pachirisu with pickup ability grabbed me a shiny stone at level 26 💞 highly recommend

[@gamer_dude94]

Lol you said unless your a massive Haunter fan.. lmfao like my absolute most favorite Pokémon. 🤣

[@barthedlund1429]

lickilicky is another great pokemon with amazing coverage, tons of tms it can learn

[@JustinPinedaMedia]

Snorlax is amazing. In my playthrough, Snorlax crushed Lucien’s entire team.

[@bavo5179]

my team was torterra crobat, garyados, gardevoir, lucario and houndoom felt really solid and had a lot of type coverage

[@Wandering-Wondering]

I used Gardevoir and Azumarill in Alpha Sapphire, and they absolutely dominate the game (with Blaziken and Roserade as well)

[@mr.lucario9064]

I just bought Shining Pearl last monday and its gonna be my first pokemon game i play on Nintendo Switch. I play Zelda and Rise before. So I haven't complete my team yet, and my team is Chimchar, Shinx and Machop.. Can you guys recommend me the other 3 pokemon i should add to my team

[@DilanQuill]

The first thing I said when I saw drapion was 'It has arms for ears' I can't get past that.

[@itsraven984]

I had torterra, mismagius, rapidash, milotic, luxray, and areodactyl. Mismagius was a great special attacker with coverage and perish song for any pesky last pokes. Rapidash is highly underrated imo and carried me quite a lot. Flame charge and smart strike was such a big help early on.

[@raulcantera6372]

Where did u get mismagius?

[@itsraven984]

@@raulcantera6372 exclusive to pearl I believe instead of murkrow. Usually spawns in eterna forest.

[@JacobOlli]

Wish there was more detail to some of the attacks, like for example Leaf Attacks doesn't show leafs like some earlier games. It only shows a green slash

[@ultragamer8816]

“I love this fat boy” Mystic, 2021

[@gardevoirmaster5743]

I’m so glad that Gardevoir is number 2 it’s my fav Pokémon and it’s gonna be on my team. And I know that my team will not be balanced but my team will have togekiss and maybe azumarill and clefable maybe idk

[@Ed-hq1ze]

I used both drapion and azumarill on my team and they carried me pretty hard

[@Atari11000]

Cleffable is so versatile. She can moonblast spiritomb(who had no weakness in the originals), grass knot for west sea gastrodon, psychic for Roserade. Heck, she practically can cover for a lot of Cynthia. Finally, I used Cleffable to destroy Cynthia’s Garchomp. It took me a while to farm that moon stone from the underground but Def worth it🌘Cleffable be slay ✨

[@ultragamer8816]

Fun fact: swimming is just flying in water and flying is just swimming in the air

[@adamayub2716]

Some of these lists are made rather lazily. More often than not, Snorlax, Alakazam and Gengar are just thrown in to take three spots. There are so many better options that are native to Sinnoh rather than the same three Kanto Pokémon thrown into every single “Best [Something]” list.

[@Xhanatos]

Which ones?

[@4lvin_and_c0.]

Do you have any recommendations to fill in the those three spots then? Owo

[@othamneil8958]

@@4lvin_and_c0. Gastrodon 100% would be there, and Staraptor will too. The other one is most likely gonna be Gyarados. These three. If you don't want Gyarados because it's also native to Kanto, then maybe Mamoswine? Maybe Lucario? Lucario is too late-game though... Gallade is a good option, though it is overshadowed by Gardevoir. Crobat is a good option. Maybe Honchcrow? Your choice. But Alakazam, Gengar, and Snorlax are better pokemon in general.

[@tacotruck5009]

Snorlax is always deserving to be in the top ten. Just because YOU don't use it doesn't mean it isn't amazing. Snorlax is probably the most essential piece of a perfect team.

[@claudialuvsu21]

6:13 Unfortunately you can’t mine for Shiny, Dawn, or Dusk stones :/ however I was able to get one by keeping a few pick up mons on my team

[@ethanmorton7122]

I had an umbreon in Gold. Loved that pokemon

[@glebs]

Gyarados is better than your entire top 4. Free to train because of group/catch XP change. And you get waterfall at level 21. Once you get dragon dance, everything that isn't Electric is toast

[@drs516]

Hell yea

[@CygnusEnigma]

Denzel Crocker is gonna have a field day with this list.

My boi gengar lets GO! Still haven't traded for him yet but work in progress

[@Sindre99]

What should i choose beetwen the fire starter or water starter, in pearl. i have played with Turtwig. if i got it right it is not a lot of water and fire types

[@mysticgiraffe6388]

Most people would say go with the fire type but I think you should just use your favourite. If you can't choose then the one that would probaly be recommend the most is the fire type

[@moonhaven4484]

Where do u receive the Togepi Egg?

[@chillywonka25]

Infernape, Staraptor, Luxray, Bronzong, Garchomp and Gastrodon was my champ team. Switched Bronzong with Metagross post game

[@slaps1455]

Ummm forgetting Mamoswine?? Swinub was my first catch in the GUG. It evolved in Pastoria Gym and the move relearner is there to immediately teach it AP. An absolute unit on my team
