So you’re telling me Muk got slighted again? This is outrageous, maybe even unfair.

[@ktosmiy9701]

Are you sure? Zacian Crowned can be putted on his dump stat - special attack slot, so the rest of the team can benefit from his higher stats

If Deoxys Attack wasn't banned you could use it as a God to double Blisseys physical defense. Now that's what i call value!

[@K4IBUN]

The fact that Electrode CAN NOT learn Rapid Spin or Overheat to this day is beyond me. A fast ball that spins. Cant rapid spin, while a slow one like forretress can. Literally overheats as it explodes, cant learn overheat. Primeape can because its hot headed. Why Game Freak. WHY.

[@RRRR-jr1gp]

You didn't mention my favourite guy, Imposter Ditto inheriting HP with Leftovers. Cloning a god for this is terrifying, and it can be combined with one of the top gods Eternatus to form a really solid backup plan

[@pumpkin6192]

Before the Blissey ban, it'd be overpowered

If you want a funny gimmick, Kyogre can provide Toucannon with 150 Special Attack and give it brutally powerful Sheer Force Hurricanes in the rain.

[@hawkticus_history_corner]

Rampardos, Electode, Avalugg are all crazy if you can shore up their hellishly bad single stat. The sheer absurdity of some of the stuff you can do is hilarious.

[@jimothycool]

What if a regular, unremarkable seeming Pokemon could borrow just 1 stat from a Legendary?

[@jul1us787]

​​@@jimothycoolIn certain cases, replacing a single stat on a pokemon with that of a legendary would turn them from bad to broken in an instant.

[@HallowedPaladin]

Take hissuian electrode for example. This pokemon is known for having an incredible speed stat, much higher than even many legendaries.

[@iseegreen5297]

but its balanced by the fact that its other stats are quite bad, especially its very low base 80 special attack. But what if it had the base 170 special attack stat of Kyurem-White? Now hisuian Electrode is one of the most scariest pokemon of all time.

[@bobirobi2081]

There is a fan-made Pokemon format where you can do exactly this and it's called Godly Gift.

[@AlexisGHQ]

Whenever the emotional music from BW plays it turns anything being said or shown funny

[@prestinryan5373]

Cranidos with Regieleki speed. Imagine a STAB Head Smash coming off of that base 165 atk stat with 200 Base Speed. Not to mention Life Orb boosted with Sheer Force

[@NS-pz8nb]

Omg that's amazing. I hope Rampardos is the king of this format

[@dumbassidiot]

That sounds very scary 4/5 ths of the time

[@rtlovcdd]

Why not use Rampardos instead lol

[@DJTileTurnip]

Head Smash isn't getting boosted by Sheer Force

[@Clooger-]

Rampardos is literally just better unless he's banned or something.

[@llorencalbons4803]

This video at lunchtime is truly a godly gift. This is incredible folks.

[@contrary6480]

Horse Havoc + Stat Replacement Clause = “Godly Gift Horse “.

[@maralli6940]

4:49 you can't actually give the hp of regular pokemon to other pokemon since when there is no uber then the first pokemon on the team is used as a god and that position is where hp belongs

[@Electric999999]

Did it work differently when Blissey was banned? Because I really can't see you wanting to pass Blissey's other stats.

[@maralli6940]

@Electric999999 it has always worked that way, the reason it was banned was because of it having access to high defense by taking the stats of ubers making it almost immortal

[@nullgator8073]

Interesting format. I think a more sane format where you get to choose to a stat to add a flat 20 points too could be Interesting since there are many Pokemon that are a mere minor bost from being good

[@fortidogi8620]

I still think itd come down to the good pokemon being slightly better. Raising everyones key stat by 20 just raises the floor for viability.

What if one legendary could borrow one stat from the rest of its team and throw down

[@mussie8129]

This is one of my favorite formats on Showdown. Really cool to give bad pokemon insame stats

[@TundraRage]

As a player who played the format at one point, Raging Bolt is now considered a God for how overwhelming it was to deal with. It's been like that at the exact same time as Alolamola was deemed a God

[@Epzilon12]

I find it interesting that the other swords of justice aren't considered "horses" or even horse adjacent. The plot thickens...

Hello Jimothy. This is another representative of the Buzzwole Lobby. If we find that any statistics have been wrested from our beloved bug, then we shall introduce Mega Buzzwole-Complete to the next generation, which will herald the end of competitive Pokémon as we know it. Thank you for your cooperation.

[@DefinitelyNotAFerret]

Please never stop making videos

[@Vicnotinho]

Thats a really cool concept. Great video

[@user-AADZ]

Interesting concept but the fact of which Pokemon are considered as gods to be their stats borrowed is confusing

[@Electric999999]

The god is either: a single Ubers pokemon, the only one of those your team can have, or the normal pokemon in your 1st (hp) slot if you don't choose to use an Ubers mon.

[@dradel2050]
