Top 5 Pokemon that Became Good YEARS Later

[@dabmonstr7403]

Like fire types and grass types are just there. Grass types being the worst types but having good pokemon and fire types with their stealth rocks weaknesses and good typing and the existence of heatran are just there

[@Alche_mist]

@@dabmonstr7403 I thought the worst type in general was considered to be Bug.

😂Oh man, I remember that. Moltres always felt so lackluster compared to his fellow legendary bird bros. And tbh I do think it could be a little cooler looking, but that's not unique to Moltres, and plus I think I just really hate geese and Moltres looks vaguely goosey.

Unfortunately, Victreebel recently fell from OU in RBY. It's still impressive that it managed to get into OU in the first place though.

[@terraSpark902]

The reason it fell can be traced back to how Psychics don't always trade Paralysis anymore. But sometimes you can still make it work

[@Cr4sh_the_bat]

When I saw breloom punching, I couldn't stop loving how he does a little one two hop, then decks the opponent in the jugular.

[@IgnitedQuils]

Breloom was held back due to HP coverage issues and lack of physical secondary STAB. But in ADV, as mentioned, it did have the rare Spore alongside Stun Spore. And the rare dual resistance of Rock and Ground. The P/S split, Poison Heal and Technician boosted it. And it always stayed in UUBL-OU. Can’t wait to see it in SV. Wanted Jynx to get an evolution similar to Electabuzz and Magmar. They always had a similar dex order, their learnsets are still similar to this day and Smoochum evolves at level 30 like Magby and Elekid. Moltres always had a good defensive and offensive typing, and it got options like the rare Will-O-Wisp in ADV, and could maybe run Morning Sun. Then it got Scorching Sands and Heavy Duty Boots. I felt like almost all the legendary birds were good in one way or another.

[@avet4952]

I think golem fell out of favour due to a game mechanic not implemented on simulators originally being discovered, which when put in nerfed golem

It's pretty vindicating to see a Pokemon in these videos and realizing you probably helped contribute to the realization of their potential. First Nidoqueen from the last video, and the honorable mention to Mienshao here. It's a healthy reminder that your favorites are probably more viable than you think, you just need to find their niche.

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

How fitting that Moltress be a Pokemon that became good years later in multiple generations. After all, it *IS* based on the phoenix: A bird that is reborn from its own dying ashes.

[@AtlasNovack]

Well done you guys, I would love to see vids on roles within a team! I.e. what is a tank, what is a lead, what is a pivot, what is a sweeper, etc. do a vid on each, giving examples throughout the gens and their importance within a team, and then you can put em all in one big playlist :3 I hear people say tank this and pivot that but I don't really get the importance while looking at showdown's teambuilder and usually fumble around in the dark for a while, or just rip somebody's team and go from there.

[@terraSpark902]

It's nearly impossible to document significant meta game developments in formats like Nintendo cup 1997. However when it does get played (on Showdown spotlight, or in primarily Japanese social media servers) Its developed in a fashion that more revolves around PP stalling with Double team and Rest on pokemon like Jynx, Lapris, Articuno, Jolteon, etc. In that environment gaining a PP advantage is a significant tool... For that reason Ditto of all pokemon has proven it's worth, through a combination of PP and switch stalling Ditto can transform into opposing pokemon and copy +6 evasion in 1 turn while also getting 5 PP per move every time it transforms meaning that it can waist the opponent's PP while staying healthy with Rest it copied over and over again without burning the too much PP of your other Pokémon.

Moltres I didn’t think of because it’s good but still not RBY OU and based on the previous vid I thought candidates had to BECOME CURRENT OU or higher. To which point I was thinking ADV Mr.Mime (Uber by technicality). It’s hilarious how much Moltres gets slept on every Gen though. Fire spinner in 1, surprisingly dangerous Sun abuser and sleep talker in 2, late OU rose in 3, dangerous status abusing offensive rank niche in 4, MOLTRES is hilariously good both on and against RAIN in Gen 5 for ridiculously powerful Hurricane spam and only Fire Blast to OHKO Ferrothorn and 2HKO Jirachi UNDER RAIN. Even in modern Gen both it’s Kanto and Galar formes can do massive OU work on the right team. Some mons just can’t be put down and retain a relevance/personality no matter what, and Moltres as a unique and ever slept-on threat is one of those as surely as Cloyster is an unconventional offensive threat with utility roles, and Blissey is Blissey.

Grass and electric types have never been dominant in singles.
