TOP 10 POTENTIAL *BUFFS* FOR SEASON 20 OF THE GO BATTLE LEAGUE IN POKEMON GO

[@DankMemes15023]

They need to buff one of the bug type fast moves, preferably Fury cutter.

[@williamfeng9808]

There's not really a way to buff fury cutter, as making it either 3 damage/ 4 energy or 2 damage/ 5 energy would make it completely broken. Infestation could be buffed to be a double kick clone though.

[@SimpleSilentShadow]

@@williamfeng9808bug isn’t really the strongest physical type and so it wouldn’t too bad

[@lovelylunarlady]

Bug type moves are hard to buff, because Bug Bite and Fury Cutter are both 1 turn. Infestation could get buffed though. I'd also want them to add U-turn as a Volt Switch clone.

[@mugiwara839]

Fury Cutter buff 🔥🔥 My man genesect in UL will be too OP 😀

[@shaheenhossain8707]

I may personally love to see the following which will not break apart the meta 1) Pelipper getting fly (it’s glassy and with hurricane it doesn’t do the role of a flier particularly well) 2) Sealeo getting icy wind or surf 3) Buffing heat wave would make spice like staravia thrive with steel wing fly and heat wave 4) Make octazooka 100% debuff 5) Make low kick a vine whip clone

[@FirelordPabu]

Just give ursaluna that shadow claw pls 🙏

[@Denizozzzy003]

Or Counter

[@Korovamato]

Eaven sand attack would be appreciated at this point

[@HeyRa131]

I guess that's ok if we just decide we never want to have master premier again.

[@sgjuxta]

My number one buff request...make Octazooka a 100% debuff chance you cowards. If Pidgeot hasn't broken the game in half with Feather Dance, I don't think letting the power duo of Kingdra and Octillery have a slightly better version of it would break anything.

[@MintyTea_N]

Problem: They're water types, and I believe every other person is positively _sick_ of seeing at least 5 top 20 water types every season

[@JungleGuardian]

god no we dont need more strong water type pokemon/moves

[@chxknfries36]

Except Octazooka is water and I’m down with water, plus it’s a d breath user so that’s just worse

[@willmccutcheon218]

It's dmg would have to get nerfed substantially or changed to 1 stage for guranteed

[@BigPat216]

@@JungleGuardianthey still won’t be better than Pidgeot.

[@mrundy9351]

Ive got the rank 1 Chatot built and best buddied. I really would love a heat wave buff

[@ericfortin559]

Whenever discussing buffs and nerfs, it begs the question, what are the stupidest nerfs? IMO the Poison Fang nerf was stupid. It was done purely to remove Nidoqueen from the meta, and now she is unplayable because the increased energy cost is simply too slow to deal with all the spammy water types crowding the top meta, not to mention all the mudbois that resist Poison anyways. Yes, it made Shadow Nidoqueen top/near top meta, but that's because it could bully it's way through neutral matchups with shields - which is a defining trait of most top meta threats (Poliwrath and Shadow Machamp come to mind). It really only saw use in Fairy dense metas like Great League to counter Azumarill though, because Ultra League simply obliterated it with Walrein, Swampert, and Giratina. Shadow Nidoqueen still lost to Azu in the zero shield before the nerf, and now loses even harder afterwards. It should be put back to what it was, Golbat be damned.

[@Denizozzzy003]

Heres also an idea to buff Shadow Force and not making Giratina too good. Shadow Force does deserve a energy buff cause 120 for 90 is outrageously poor, eq before the nerf was 120 for 65 which is a whole 25 energy less and on an arguably stronger offensive typing too. Ghost is only resisted by normal and dark, EQ is only resisted by flying. It could pass at 120 for 65 and basically be an old eg clone which wouldn't make it busted, and would definitely help altered out more than origin, both in ultra and masters Altered is pretty much outclassed by origin severely in masters as is, mainly because it has no strong DMG output at lv50, it was passable at 40 but the extra bulk hurts it too much to be a strong pick despite it's ranking on pvpoke With the necro fusions out now too alongside origin dialga/palkia Giratina in both forms has fallen off just as hard as Groudon, it gets destroyed by most of the stuff in the meta now outside Solgaleo, Mewtwo, and Kyogre

[@alfiesmullet1311]

As a ferrothorn and drapion enjoyer, i like the idea of buffing poison sting and bullet seed

[@wildpyre]

We need a Sucker Punch buff. That's all imma say.

[@Denizozzzy003]

And Faint Attack

[@Anthonyvideogame]

And zen headbutt

[@KhanhNguyen-ou8nk]

@@Anthonyvideogameno zen because chansey and blissey.

[@vaiuuii]

Some good suggestions but Giratina rank 3 so let's just buff it some more cause I like the animation. Sorry but what? Then let's buff Hyper Beam, Focus Blast, EQ, Solar Beam, Leaf Storm, Petal Blizaard and I can keep going. Bullet Seed suggested buff is way over the top. Greedent is already too spammy and Ferrothorn would be outright broken. Magical Leaf is already a quite good move, buffing it futher means you basically NEED to run fliers. Counter is 4 and 3.5 and Magical Leaf is 3.33 and 3.33, so slightly worse, but not THAT much worse, its good damage AND energy already. How about so many bad moves that need buffs like Aurora Beam, Bug Buzz, Draining Kiss, Gyro Ball. Even Payback for how much energy it needs is quite poor.

[@mugiwara839]

Magical Leaf and Bullet seed are very below average. What are you talking about? There are countless Ferro counters in the meta. Buffing bullet seed definitely won’t make it broken. It will still be a good mon at best.

[@mugiwara839]

Also when it comes to fast moves not only are the stats of magical leaf average. But it’s a 3 turn move where as counter is 2 turn. This makes a world of difference which you casually skipped to point out. Comparing such an average move to Counter is 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@windycityassasin5236]

Shadow force is garbage . Nobody uses it.

[@jessicamendoza9407]

How did you forget about Metal Claw? You proposed a steel wing nerf-why not a metal claw buff so Empoleon doesn’t become irrelevant again…

[@JonkusPKMN]

Can't make it usable cause of zacian

[@GrannySingaporePVP]

Love these types of videos Jonkus. Not such a big fan of nerfing in general, but these buffs are very interesting and could shake up the meta in a super fun way:l. Great work my man

[@TheTeraFurret]

My biggest hope for season 20 is a Zen Headbutt and Low Kick buff. They’re so bad and so many cool pokemon are useless because they don’t have a good fast move. Also MAKE SHADOW FORCE A GHOST VERSION OF ROT/SR

[@Denizozzzy003]

Zen Headbutt won't get one cus of Chan and Blissy. Low Kick wood bee awesome for a buff. For Shadow Force, it would be awesome for more damage or less energy. Also I wish Giratina O gets a special effect like Dialga and Palkia O.

[@Anthonyvideogame]

YES!!! I want a zen headbutt buff. Pokémon such as snorlax would have different winning match ups with it.

[@Denizozzzy003]

Poison sting is in a good spot imo, bullet seed is balanced with +1 instead of +2 to damage and Discharge does not need a damage buff Other than that I agree with everything else

[@breloommaster12]

Frost Breath is one of the worst fast moves and I'm not really sure what warrants it being so terrible

[@iubalum2013]

Can Torterra get a buff, please? Specifically, a faster energy-generating fast move? Bite and Razor Leaf are rubbish. Speaking of Bite, is Regidrago too new to get a better fast move?

[@ajgross67]

I really want Pelliper to get fly. Hurricane takes so long to get to that it seems very hard to use it as a flying type Pokémon. Looking at the sims it gets better but isn’t broken by any means

[@lehmonz7088]

Can you take a look at buffing hidden power? Perhaps if every type was buffed how would each type affect the respective pokemon that run it?

[@xdifficultviper9916]

It would definitely be interesting maybe make it a tackle clone? Nothing game breaking but I’m sure something could make use out of it even if it is extremely rng

[@ilikegames33]

I just want more electrics and bugs to be viable

[@xdifficultviper9916]

There’s a good amount of electrics that are viable it’s just there’s so many damn ground types running in the top 25

[@TheDenniloko]

Volt swicth in luxray pls!!!

[@dustinthefunny9287]

give cubone a com day and give it bonemerang

[@daybreak0968]

The heat wave buff will be op as hell

[@lukevandoren7144]

Bug fast moves need a buff. And some charge moves. Bug is non existent. Poison also could use a buff again to deter charm users.

[@Micefu]

Would be nice to see a buff for the elemental fangs (i know Steelix is going to be annoying)

[@JonkusPKMN]

Was in the last video

[@edwinarroyoekam5698]

What about flame Wheel that upgrade could change alola Marowak

[@TheAdventureofLinkII]

Give my boy Marowak some love!

[@richards9750]

The reason you got “hate” as you obnoxiously put it was NOT because “we don’t understand,” Jonkus; however, it is more towards your obsession with nerfs, you love nerfing Pokémon more than life itself. Most of your suggestions were terrible (95%) - body slam for instance, or Lando with its signature move being nerfed, also, you stating that Ariel Ace and Dig need nerfing, why? I hate the way Niantic run this game but I’m glad you don’t decide the energy, damage, and move set of Pokémon because we’d have dragons, grass and bastiodon’s everywhere.

[@alfiesmullet1311]

Lando needs a nerf for sure though

[@richards9750]

@@alfiesmullet1311I don’t think it does. It is Lando’s signature move and it should be good. It is not like Lando doesn’t have its counters - Palika, The whale, Mewtwo. Its quite a frail pokemon

[@mugiwara839]

@@alfiesmullet1311 Lando/Sandsear surely doesn’t need a nerf. For a very glassy Pokémon, the only way it can be viable is to give it a really good move. Unless, you want a very stale 5 Pokémon Master League meta.

[@alfiesmullet1311]

@mugiwara839 it was viable before it got sandsear storm.. but now it's on like 90% of teams... I don't want to to nerf ot so it's unusable, just maybe it does a bit less damage or takes an extra fast move to get to

[@GorillaField]

You do know that landorus alone is holding the meta hostage right if we took it out back we could play zekrom,melmetal, reshiram, groundon, and potentialy metagross although maybe not since eq is terrible

[@itzmatos]

I'm hoping they buff Bellibolt, it has semi decent bulk, giving it grass knot would be nice since he only has electric moves

[@vojtech_ledvinka]

10:02 I would give it -20 or 25 energy, bcs it would be a sligtly worse version of Roar of Time and giratina origin would propably still run shadow ball, but giratina altered will get a good buff

[@JimothieThundertoes]

Bug type counter the bugs need it

[@aditya-rt4zb]

Air Spash buff For crobat (my fav) Dude it's so unfair that it's pre evolution has wing attack And with air Spash you're reaching late to shadow ball when the others have 1.5 energy of shadow ball is quite slow Other moves like incenerate, hex, wing attack, shadow claw reach to shadow ball with a difference of ±3 T And here you're stuck forever Maybe give it energy similar to hex atleast

[@JonkusPKMN]

You can't buff air Slash cause of skarm sadly

[@Rich-g6n]

@@JonkusPKMN Lol what if they removed moves from some op pokemon😂😂

[@jeremykops]

They can just give wing attack to crobat

[@DmKirai]

Low kick needs a buff!

[@jaysongoldsborough9889]

And we being stupid again, i only agree on rock smash heat wave and discharge could bring more electric mons in the meta

[@ianbertram4626]

Make breaking swipe 100% chance again. Completely rehaul dark, bug, and fire moves. Add coverage moves to grass pokemon.

[@Rich-g6n]

Yeah pls buff shadow force, worst legacy move and move overall in pvp

[@pak321]

I hope it will be stronger than shadow ball. I dont wanna replace it with shadow ball on my 100 giratina. Also give it an adventure effect like spacial rend and roar of time

[@ChinnaNeduri]

7E+2E = 8E?

[@pistolpete7280]

What about Fury Cutter or Bug Bite!!!!

[@Micefu]

Any chance of us having new moves? Nothing new was datamined so far

[@TheRealMrAndrew]

The last thing that should be done is buff those POS mon, registeel and giratina. Those things need to be nerfed into the ground. And we need to be seeing fewer ferrothorns in the meta, not more. Steel is already OP.

[@benredlinski5924]

Not relevant at all, but I have the fuze necrozma task left to do and I already fused my lunala. If I fuse my solgaleo and the defuse it, does it retain everything it originally had like ivs and cp?

[@JungleGuardian]

you will loose the energy for unfusing

[@benredlinski5924]

@JungleGuardian figured. But my solgaleo will stay it's original cp and ivs it had before the fuse right?

[@Denizozzzy003]

All of Necrozma's IVs and lv will stay the same to who you fuse not matter what fyi

[@vitorgalvao8570]

We just need fly skarmory

[@vaiuuii]

Oh God no, it already is borderline broken unless its in a severe typing disadvantage match.

[@jacobodonnell8912]

I wish they would buff bo ne club

[@ricjaysonespanol1635]

Make Shadow Force unblockable (and still use opponent’s shield if shielded)

[@jeremykops]

Please no rock smash poli.

[@ExiledtoVampa]

I just want Niantic to introduce Toxtricity into the game already

[@PokeBoyGod18]

Whats the point of allowing tina to be more broken than it is? I dont see the point of that Plus i feel like the poison sting buff is just to push clod onto it that way mud shot gets nerfed Of course the only pokemon thats important when magical leaf gets buffed is vic too, not even mentioning stuff like decidueye, meganium, and tsareena

[@panch0bill]

Dear Jonkus, In response to your video, we have decided to nerf seed bomb. Sincerely, Niantic

[@omarholder9036]

You literally cannot buff Rock Smash specifically because if the mons that get it.

[@Anthonyvideogame]

Who gets it that wouldn’t be ok?

[@mrundy9351]

Which mon gets RS that would be OP?

[@mrundy9351]

Haha ignore me. I don't think any of them would be busted. Lock On is a great move for Regis due to only nukes. Azu can already hit any type weak to fighting neutrally. Ursaluna would be really strong in ML tho.

[@jeremykops]

Poliwrath 😵

[@mrundy9351]

@jeremykops Poliwrath already has counter I don't think this iteration of Rock Smash will be better.

Volt switch on lanturn 😂😂

[@chrish6441]

I think the reason shadow force sucks so much is because if it was a good move then giratina would be completely unstoppable in ultra league
