Dude, I don’t think I would have gotten any sleep without knowing this. Thank you, that first one made me feel like I was losing my mind. As an aside: “Better than Everyone Else” is literally unsolvable without the Pokedoku reveal, letting your bias swing the game Zane???

[@nicoerbschloe3575]

I was so incredibly sure that “Better Off Without You” was Pokémon that can use suicide moves… I know it’s a messed up thought but cmon… and it was reinforced by the pokedoku suggested solve cuz the suggested pokemon could all learn explosion or self destruct!

[@mestre12]

I knew goes both way and peaked in high school was that. My guess for thw other 3 are: Forever Sweaty: i think its water type. Better Than Everybody else: Maybe dragon or fairy type, both are strong. Steel is possible too. Tremblin' Thighs: I think its Dark or Ground.

[@azure6912]

@@bleachedpenguin6131 I think it's either trade, item or trade item evolutions, cause the correct answers I got for that are Slowking, Huntail and Politoed in descending order. edit: looking at the possible answers for the bottom square, it's trade evolution, otherwise Gigalith and Golem wouldn't be possible, the reason Milotic is a possible answer for Hoenn-Better off without me is because from gen 5 onwards the trade with a prism scale held became the alternative evolution condition as the removal of contests meant the removal of the beauty stat which otherwise needed to be maxed. Both conditions apply in both ORAS and BDSP I believe but other games since gen five require the trade evo.

I got penalised for trying to answer Galarian Slowpoke (for bottom left) while Kantoian Slowpoke was on the board, which I feel was a tad unfair. Sure, it was a tad cheeky, but nothing said regional variants counted as the same mon. So... just be aware of that while answering.

[@Mariokemon]

if you've ever played pokedoku, you'd know regional forms and megas count as different answers. Also, Galarian Slowpoke wouldn't fit the Goes Both Ways anyway

[@InfernalNiek]

Galarian slowpoke doesn't count because it's no longer a water type. Normal slowpoke is water/psychic, galarian slowpoke is just psychic. So it loses on forever sweaty

"Forever sweaty"= Fighting Type "Better than everybody else"= popular tier in competitive? "Tremblin' Thighs"= Baby Note: I've never played Pokedoku before lol

[@Smouv]

Small bit of constructive critism, for a next time please consider making the snoverachiever points not cover the entire Pokémon picture underneath it. Part of what makes a video like this fun is being able to think along at home. Having to keep 22 Pokémon in memory because they are completely obstructed is not the most viewer-friendly design decision. ^^;

From the bonus pokedoku: row 1 is "water type", row 2 is "hoenn", row 3 is "can learn earthquake", columns 1, 2 and 3 are still the names in this video but I believe column 1 is "dual type", column 2 is "trade evolution" and column 3 is "middle stage"

@cobiscobby1 That makes sense. I thought 2 was that it had a split evolution until I got the third one wrong. Nincada and slowpoke worked together to trick me.

[@Tacobell1384]

So I thought that the bonus pokedoku was just the normal one with different category names so I quickly switched to the bonus but not before seeing dragon as the first column. So seeing the first column named goes both ways, I was like "that makes sense dragons are super effective against dragons". I then proceeded to pick 3 dragon Pokemon for each row and got them correct. Do seeing slowpoke as a correct answer blew my mind. It wasn't until after that I figured out what the category actually meant.

[@N1shikki]

And here I thought I was smart and that I'd figured out dragon. I'd only seen water type before swapping. Only got that column lol

The Kadabra answer didn't mention as it would then evolve been better off without me, and it really should have

[@baasparkopenings851]

(Pokedoku spoilers) So I went and did the pokedoku before watching the rest of the video - I actually saw clampearl first and then did it, and I couldn't get the idea of branching evos out of my head. But that wasn't it, so I thought of trade evolutions and smacked Golem into the bottom left corner for a win. This made me completely miss that the second column was trade evolutions because I thought the first column was, and I was having a terrible time trying to figure out what Pokemon from Hoenn evolve via trade that aren't Huntail and Gorebyss after those were marked wrong for me! I watched a bit more of the video and just became more confused when Slowpoke was right and Clampearl was wrong, and thought that I had just misremembered that Huntail and Gorebyss required trading to evolve. Then once the dual typing clicked I knew exactly what the second column was. Tricky tricky! Btw Crabominable is just a little guy, don't hurt him :( (hes like 4 ft tall and 7 ft wide)
