I didn't read any of that, but yes, CHESNAUGHT

[@ShoroSotashi]

I want to see meganium and primarina supports PLS 😭

[@Gichou014]

Me too! Meganium could be a supporter or a defender, but Primarina looks like an attacker to me. I wanna see them regardless of their job

[@MHzappy]

It has to be logic, primarina as a support is weird, i know we need more supporters but i think that primarina would be better as an allrounder-attacker

[@tubagaming2030]

1:02 idk man, I see that as an absolute win.

[@candyman8637]

Meowscarada was my first mainline game starter. I wish I was more invested into the game when it was first released because I missed the emblems.

[@Garnet508]

12:21 i really hope that when they release the other gen 3 starters that they work kinda like blazeiken does with the unite move

[@mrsdragonite]

Inside the Yeehaw, we ain't freakin Norse around here, in Pokemon Unite, we still got the b-tier!! LFGGGGGG 😅😂

[@spragels]

Haha

[@chilly2093]

I was literally thinking about this yesterday haha

[@ddelaney712]

My favourite is jungle with Meowscrada or Mimikyu. Laning is usually Goodra or Dragonite. But I might choose others, depending on my mood.

[@symphoniclypaintedmemories]

Tank Feraligator on all 4s, support maganium, and speedster typhlosion where he balls up like sonic

[@kamx1]

Yes, feraligator, I want it

[@tigerbeauty]

I liked this countdown format. It was fun trying to guess what was coming next! I got #1 right but I was pleasantly surprised at #2 😁

[@yveshku5583]

My favourite starter at this point in time would be a toss up between Delphox and Meowscarada. They're both a couple of my favourites in general, but specifically Unite speedster is my favourite playstyle and Meowscarada's very fun, while Delphox has hung around as a consistent top 3 of attackers I enjoy playing around with no matter what moves using it with.

[@Dylanlemay]

You should rank the eeveelutions next

[@HonkeyHustleDDC]

Decidueye is my favorite starter. And my favorite shiny pokemon. So you having shiny rowlett at the end made me smile. But with inteleon I feel that same way but with incineroar. In sun and moon when it released I was like meh, boooo. But when it was released in smash ultimate I loved it and he was my main and it’s made me appreciate him more that I’d looove for him to come to unite. Infernape is my second favorite starter. For sure. Would be a cool speedster imo.

[@pallygoat7150]

Typhlosion (Attacker or All-Rounder ) Passive- Blaze: When above 80% HP gain +14% SpAtt, When below 30% HP gain +21% Movement Speed. Boosted- Every third attack is boosted dealing 25% increased damage, small AoE and burns the main target. Move set #1- Smoke Screen: Creates an area that provides stealth to allys & blinds enemies when they enter it, last 4 sec. Lava Plume: Creates an area that heals you & damages enemies when standing in it, last 5 sec. Heal = 3%max HP + 100 + 20% SpAtt, Damage 5%Max HP + 30% SpAtt. Upgrade increases the rate of ticks from every 1 sec to .7 sec. Overheat: For the duration all basic attacks become boosted, +20% Attack Speed & Movement Speed, become unable to attack for 2 sec after the duration, Last 7 Sec. Upgrade basic attacks now have 20% lifesteal for duration. Move set #2- Rollout: Roll up into a ball 2x Def, +250 Movement Speed & immune to slows for duration, last 3 sec.

Upgrade can hold 2 charges. Gyro Ball: Roll up into a ball 2x Def & SpDef, + 300 Movement Speed, + (5×Lv) SpAtt & immune to slows for duration, last 3 sec.

If they start adding more starters like Incinerosr I’d probably get back into the game.

We need most fun Pokemon tier list

[@someone999555]

I was thinking this is gonna be a strength tierlist, but if its just an overall how well is the pokemon implemented in terms of kit, playstyle, strength and how much i like the pokemon, i think my list would go something as follows: 10) Charizard - playstyle is way too one dimendional imo 9) Cinderace - playstyle is fine if you like adcs, i dont like adcs 8) Greninja - same issue as cinder The above 3 are also all way too weak and underpowered right now, placing them below every other starter by a good margin. 7) Delphox - I wish it were better in lane, and the latest nerf they gave it made me salty, fire blast did not need a nerf. 6) Inteleon - exactly as you said; amazing implementation of a pokemon i hated before unite. 5) Blastoise - I love blastoise as a pokemon, but they killed the one moveset I enjoyed in the latest patch for no good reason, so it sits here now instead of in second place. Rip spout spin, surf pump and spin pump were too broken, so spout got nerfed into oblivion. 4) Meowscarada - flower trick build is really fun and also really strong, whats not to like. Cool design too. 3) Dekidooee - love the pokemon, ironically it has the only adc build in the game i enjoy(and yes, i agree that build is terrible, fun in quickplay at least) and spirit shackle is also a really fun build, and actually pretty decent, unlike razor leaf. 2) Venusaur - onion frog is cute, it has 2 great builds, one of which is the most unique attacker build in the game, and its very strong, whats not to love? 1) Blaziken - really strong, cool pokemon and most importantly way too fun. Fun factor of this pokemon is through the roof and none of the other starters even come close. They nailed this one. And for fun: how i rank them purely in terms of strength 10) greninja 9) cinder 8) charizard 7) decidueye 6) meowscarada 5) delphox 4) blastoise 3) venusaur 2) inteleon 1) blaziken

[@patrickbrown1727]

Eevee is also your starter in XD Gale of Darkness, with umbreon and espeon in Colosseum

[@Captclutch504]

Was this inspired by the Starter Only Pokémon side tournament at NAIC? That event made me realize we need more support starters

[@8takes485]

Can you make a tier list for passives?

[@synnergycirclegames745]

I'm glad my boy venusaur is so high on the list. we've been together since day one and it was a really rocky road to raod to get to where he stands now

[@GSBS123]

It's taking a while now, put ALL the Starters in the game now.

[@Shruggz_Unite]

I may or may not have paid spragels to put Venu top 3. Should have been #1 but not complaining

[@spragels]

This video is brought to you by Shruggz

[@jansambarnedo9197]

Can you make a video about the things that are needed in the paths (eg. Top path needs someone tanky)

[@MikeGoldenboy]

Also Umbreon and Espeon were starters in Pokémon Colosseum.

[@spragels]

Great point! Thank you

[@Gichou014]

Oh Gosh, I want Meganium and Chesnaught so bad! They are both so mistreated, maybe Meganium could be the first johto and Chesnaught could complete the Kalos trio, specially with Legenda ZA coming. But H. Samurott would be awesome too

[@hitt7897]

Putting Charizard above Cinderace is crazy to me. I think Cinderace has been overall better throughout the games lifespan and they are both pretty basic. I however was a Cinderace main for a really long time and Scorbunny is in my top three favorite pokemon so my bias is definitely showing 😂

[@connorseaturtle3162]

I don't think Cinderace being better really matters, both have amazing carry potential if you learn and improve game sense

[@hitt7897]

For the sake of a ranking based on which starter is better and taking in the games longevity, I absolute think that you should take into account Cinderace is better than Charizard. That’s the point of a ranking list. Also, Cinderace has so much more carry potential than Charizard, who has hardly ever had spots in the meta throughout the games lifespan and meanwhile Cinderace was quite good year one.

[@Jacurry-1215]

Remember spragels we still have to go suit shopping with doobsnax

[@RafaPoke24]

One of the Hisuan starters would be cool. May Typlosion or Samurot since Deci is already in the game

[@big_axolotl_]

Empoleon and Sceptile are likely coming sooner tham later because they were both in pokken where unite gets a lot of assets from

[@MusicComet]

They don't take assets from the game, they just reference it.

[@SheikhShelby]

holowear tier list

[@shayminsan9397]

Hear me out. So I love infernape it was my first starter and is my favorite. Now with that said, I don’t think it should be added into Unite. We got Blaze and I actually think Torterra would be a great defender! It could have frenzy plant that holds enemies for a time while also attacking near by enemies and an alt version would be leach seed. Both holding moves but one would be damage focus and the other healing. For the other two moves you’d have to choose between synthesis or withdraw. So this Pokémon would be like a very bulky defender support mon. Very hard to kill and giving your teammates a chance to do damage. Also I was thinking leach seed would work like Sceptiles leech seed in Pokken. A patch of fines that drain the pokemon then after the have slow effect after the a free for a short time. Not powerful on its own but annoying to deal with.

[@Garnet508]

0:45 now that i think about it, we don't have any starters from gen 4 or gen 5

[@Belesprit656]

Hmm, probably Venusaur, Blaziken, Inteleon or Meowscarada will be number one. My favorite starter is Typhlosion, or any of the older ones like Swampert. I stopped playing Pokémon around the DS era.

[@NIGHTWINGEX]

They need to add all starters to this game asap especially gen 2 and 3

[@AdamIsBetter696]

YOOO SPRAGLES

[@BarachielKalyana]

TYPHLOSION

[@IthquaisChibi]

Flame wheel would be so fun

[@Monkeyfuzz]

The sigh at Infernape makes me sad. Also I can see it being a Speedster.

[@michaelcampbell4299]

Even though I like Blaziken more, i would switch Intel and Blaze just because of Intels oppresion on the competitive scene since release. Other than that? Perfect list!

[@hundredsg]

#JusticeForGen2Starter and #InsidePokemonUnite

[@casualpotato44]

Venusaur. Easy. On every level it's good. Pro level: It's a worlds champ and played by a bunch of other pros. Noob level: it's easy to play. Intermediate casual: it's flexible enough to run both builds. If you prefer and allrounder dive brawler, go petal dance. If the team needs range or you just prefer sniping, go beam. You can of course optimize your items if you prefer the one playstyle or if it's in draft. Blastoise is good, imo a close second but good luck playing a full defender build in solo queue. If you're playing it as a carry, then why not just play a carry in the first place? And it has had ups and downs. It has been in and out of the meta. But Venu has been consistently good imo.

[@snowland7978]

We still think its Ho-Oh defender with regenerator (it's hidden ability) with no sacred fire and no effort put in the moves icons I hope it's a cooler legend.

[@joeunknown7601]

Off topic but leafeon has been carrying me. It’s so strong and can destroy anyone. Last game my team had all hoops destroyed and I was just camping at the last one just killing everyone who spawned. It was easy because I had potion and not escape button. Running leaf blade and solar blade with attack weight, float stone, and energy amp is so overpowered

[@manuelvasquez2432]

Blastoise is my least favorite of the kanto starters, but in unite hes actually my main. Venu although my fav of the 3, I couldnt get behind his playstyle in Unite. Blastoise has carried me so many times and gotten me out of tough times in game, I thought he wasnt gonna get the recognition he deserves but blasts pulled through and got top of this tier list. W

i think a problem in the game is the items. only three and those r also not good choices? like in every moba the A-pressing button blaziken would be able to gain lifesteal with items but not in here which makes razor leaf a not good build

[@JustDefault2]

There is no way spragels said meowscarada is new. its like 7 months ago. I guess time is going very fast with spragels

Newer in the history of the game

[@the-pulsegaming4343]

Rip cinderace my GOAT my favorite starter 😢

[@smalls4325]

[@faizanabbas786]

We need a defender like Ampharos broooo

[@JjYungng]

U sure right we really need them to fix Char cause hes one of the best Dragon Fire Pokemon it be fun to if they even Make him Mega evolve

[@BlueDreamXxX]

Anyone know a good Char build. I'm running Muscle, Scope, weakness/amp/charging charm. With 6 Brown, 6 White, 2 Blue. Focused on Atk and Crit. Is this the best build for flamethrower, fire blast. Should I run Fire punch, Flareblitz? And swap the third item for weakness/ atk weight?

[@BlueDreamXxX]

Battle Item is full heal. There are some ways to avoid being stunned out of the unite when you pop full heal, so I feel like it's a must have on Char

[@manuelarocho8131]

Fire punch and Flareblitz is absolutely garbage. A worse Dragonite Espeed. Flareblitz is the main problem being to long CD, a barely existent shield, knock up is negligible, shield comes after you hit which gets you killed. Fire punch is okay but it really should burn multiple it hits like flamethrower. Besides with all the nonsense of CC and true damage being more of a thing, flare blitz is just bad. I much rather it did a lot of damage like in the main line for minor recoil at this point lol. Also for a build, Scope is a must of course. Razor is nice, Attack weight, charging charm is meh. And don't use muscle, they changed the way it worked on him to procking once. And full heal is a must. X-attack if you are feeling bold and greedy.

[@bigbunz9336]

Need a list for best route 1 rodent Pokémon inside Pokémon unite

[@NidoAce]

Yeah Blastoise and Venusaur definitely seem best. As cool as things like Blazekin and Meow are theyre also pretty complicated which controversial opinion isnt good for starters...starters are the mons everyone knows and has an attachment to so what theyll rush to get...having them rush headlong into a mechanical monster is not going to be a good mew player experience.
