Which Legendary Pokémon is OBJECTIVELY the WORST?

[@median99]

Saying drizzle is worse than clear body is a really, really bad take. It boosts water type attack power by 50% and guarantees thunder to hit (not an issue bc no one else will be running Thunder) while removing potentially threatening weather effects on other teams. It’s one of the best abilities in the game.

Dude we know his opinions and criteria is so ridiculous. He still regards popularity as a deciding factor (his explanation was god awful as to why) and Clear Body is by far a worse ability than Drizzle because of who the abilities are attached to. Kyogre literally just NUKES things with that ability and there’s a reason it’s one of the most utilized Pokémon EVER. I also love how he almost thought Mewtwo having Unnerve was almost as bad as Snow Cloak, when Unnerve is a VERY useful competitive ability and can save you in a playthrough plenty of times

@@Drobbins2012 yeah dude, Water Spout Kyogre boosted by rain is still to this day is a competitive staple that world champions still utilize. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s like “oh, Clear Body is better because you can’t have your stats lowered.” Yeah but when you can’t even make use of your own stats because they’re already bad, your ability not being able to change that means it’s a bad ability to have. It’s basic common sense. Kyogre’s ability to take LESS damage from something it already resists can save it in the long run when taking a neutral or ever super effective hit, while making its stab attacks super nukes and then giving one if it’s best coverage moves 100% accuracy and being able to build an entire team around its ability makes Clear Body look like absolute shit.

[@baddragonite]

I'm gonna constructively explain why Drizzle is literally one of the best abilities in the series. Usually one thing that determines if an ability is good or not is how many things it does. Drizzle boosts Kyogre's stab moves, it guarantees that Kyogre can hit with it's coverage thunder move, it lets other pokemon like swift swim users and and rain dish users get their abilities going, it covers for the fire weaknesses of other Pokemon on your team. It lets Hurricane from flying types hit with 100% accuracy like Thunder. There's a reason weather has been a consistently top meta mechanic and rain is usually the best of them. Heck the entire meta of Gen 5 was called "the weather wars"

[@nameless9467]

[@mimahakurei4430]

Thunder bypasses its accuracy check in the rain, hitting 100% of the time. This is probably why he considered Drizzle to be the worst; Kyogre is a water type, and while Drizzle is good for boosting his power, it opens up one heck of a weakness. When one of the most powerful electric-type moves-- that can be learned by nearly every electric-type Pokemon via level up or TM-- can hit your water-type Pokemon 100% of the time, Drizzle suddenly becomes a massive liability.

Oh boy.. I'm not sure if you'll actually read this but- That's the thing you're not getting about popularity. It doesn't actually measure appearance, design, or public perception.

I would like to see you give each of these parts their own quantifiable measures and give more data points than letting 1/3 (now 1/4) of the points go to popularity. If you wish to have popularity be a factor thats fine but it shouldn't be the only thing thats not looking at battle prowess. You could look at pokemon origins and see how popular those myths are, or maybe a 2nd category for how popular the animal they're based on is? (public perception) You could look at data of people who say 'yes i like the design' vs 'no i dont like the design' or you could take methods use to objectify other pieces of art and apply them to the lines and shapes of pokemon (design) You can measure how much people like the color palates when they dont know its a pokemon's color palate. (Appearance) I'm sure there are many websites dedicated to what color combos people like best and you can use that and match the closest thing.

I have some hard disagrees. Regice is just worse than regirock. Specially with body press as an available move that uses its massive 200 def eith acces to curse and bulk up, its okay in PU, regice is untiered now. And drizzle fire weakening efect isnt a factor when shooting boosted waterspouts. Normal groudon doesnt have the luxury of boosting its stab. Uxie vs regigigas is harder, but if you considet that regigigas is virtually 90 base stat total lower than the shown value. Its starts seeing worse. Uxie has a nice ability, better speed. And tons of utility moves making it more useful. Thurnadus has 3 of the best abilities available, good speed and offenses and pure fliying is a good type and it has great coverage. Virizion is the worse tiered gen 5 legendary as its really a bad typed special wall.

[@ohnoitswynne]

im surprised you chose kyogre as the one with the worst ability instead of groudon. at least with drizzle, it gets STAB on top of drizzles water type boost. groudon doesnt get that with drought. if anything, it just screws groudon over even more since drought gives the opponent the opportunity to use solar bean in one turn and one-shot it, given they have it

The point about Kyogre's drizzle being the worst ability is, in my opinion, not right as most rain setters in rain teams are water type such as politoed, so rain would have the same effect on the resistances and if it's like that why isn't groudon also there with sunny day?

I have to disagree with you in the hoenn category. It's mostly agreed among the pokemon community that Ice is the worse type, Regice's stat distribution is pretty much on par with Regirock (simply being a special version of regirock and even then Ice is probably the worse type fot that spread) and, as a lot of people alredy pointed out, Drizzle is either the best ability or tied for best ability with Drought, which would make all Regis tie and Regice have the second worst hidden ability among them (only beating registeel since Light Weight is useless most of the time) - although I'll give you gen 3 sturdy might be the worst out of the 3 if you're going by their original generations. I also think in Unova you tunnel visioned too hard on the weather trio. While they are the least popular, Virizion is worse then Tornadus in every other aspect. It have 5 weakness + a 4x weakness (vs 3 weakness with a immunity for Tornadus), Tornadus have the better ability and I think Tornadus have a better stat distribution.

My problem With you using objectivity and popularity together, Is because they are practically antonyms. Popularity is inherently subjective and subjective is an antonym with objective. So you can’t use popularity to objectively prove anything other than popularity.

[@commonbridge4735]

Yeah it's honestly weird. Like, people may like Lugia more than Manaphy on average, but how would that make Manaphy "worse" than Lugia? It's also kind of like saying chocolate bars are objectively "better" for you because it's (probably) more popular than some lesser-known fruits or vegetables out there. That's not how objectivity works.

[@Septor-xc4xr]

Instead of a popularity metric I personally think itd be better to take their designs(such as inspiration and amount of detail and maybe even how well they fit the type of legendaries they are.ex: box, side or quest legend) into account in any future uploads regarding the topic, that way it can be more accurately objective

[@thecreativy2260]

Thats just subjective though

[@Septor-xc4xr]

@@thecreativy2260 how is that subjective, looking at the references used for a pokemon, the purpose that pokemon serves, and how well it serves that purpose? I guess that last part is a lil subjective but both the other things are comple objective

[@thecreativy2260]

@@Septor-xc4xr I mean sure but its gonna be at least a little biased no matter what, like perhaps if the orgin was more interesting I would prefer that pokemon more, and maybe if im affiliated in some way with one of these references. It's going to be biased no matter what and the only way to have a true objective pov is from large data samples

[@ldmtag]

Dude, I genuinely love this video, but Drizzle is definitely better than Clear Body. Drizzle is almost as good as Intimidate, which is said to be the best ability in the games. Even in singles Drizzle boosts the power of Water Spout to absurd levels (especially if you use Life Orb or something), and in doubles you can either attack with two rain boosted Water types or safely bring something weak to Fire. For opponent's Water type Thunder never misses in rain. Clear body is gimmicky, it's only usable in combination with moves like Psycho Boost or V-Create that lower your stats in exchange for absurdly high base power. Outside of Max moves side effects basically nobody in competitive lowers opponent's stats. They can just switch out making you waste a turn.

[@skillz8599]

Idk Regirock might have 5 weaknesses but it's still a tank especially with Drain Punch.

[@kuriboy9572]

I dunno if most people know this but in us/um you can take 2 zygardes (one from main story if you collected some or just 2 random ones) you can technically make 100% zygarde. Found that out when i didn't feel like finding every single one

[@VictorHernandez-cz1be]

No way Drizzle is worse than Clear Body. Clear Body only prevents your opponent from lowering your stats, which basically makes you inmune to Intimidate exclusively, because really who runs stat-lowering moves?? Even in-game you rarely ever see stat-lowring moves. There's also the fact that Drizzle affected every Pokémon on the field, which means that the secondary effect can help the rest of your party, whereas Clear Body does not. There's simply no way, shape, or form, Clear Body is a better ability than Drizzle.

[@robreddy8163]

I like the idea of this series but I'd strongly recommend working with someone who knows about competitive Pokémon. While I understand your reasoning to not include it, although I have to disagree, it makes it difficult to watch the video when it's clear you don't know much about abilities at all. Drizzle is one of the most broken abilities in the game and runs all competitive formats. You can take a trash Pokémon like Pelipper, just add drizzle and it's a top pick in OU. It's fine if you don't want to and just want to make the videos for fun, but it's also taking away any credibility from what you have to say. Throwing the word OBJECTIVLY around doesn't help either. I hope you listen to the criticism and improve and continue this series of videos.

[@RicP23]

Completely agree.

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

Honestly surprised popularity didn't save Calyrex's bacon. I thought the Crown Tundra storyline with it painted it in a fairly interesting light, but apparently people don't like it?

[@ghostamity5116]

The way this guy bounces between making good and bad points might give me a concussion

[@connor5187]

Okay, it’s pretty obvious you don’t know competitive Pokémon or how to make these ranking lists. I’m don’t really know competitive Pokémon well and even I know that Regice has a worse type than Regirock and that drizzle is an amazing ability on Kyogre, especially when it’s going to go up against Groudon in any format where they are allowed. It seems like you’re just choosing one before doing any evaluations and then saying whatever you want in order to fit that narrative.

[@connor5187]

And then he goes on to say Xerneas doesn’t benefit that much from Fairy Aura. That one move is one good move that it uses all the time, and it can get others by TM! That’s like saying Rillaboom has a bad ability because the only grass move it uses is Grassy Glide

[@kelvinsmymiddlename5756]

This is the same guy who just said that FERROTHORN was the worst Pokémon in a Black and White playthrough. You know, the Pokémon that dominates Smogon OU to this day? Leech Seed, Power Whip, Gyro Ball at reasonable levels not enough? I don’t know if this is the case, but Hoops clearly has been slacking in the research department recently and I’m just disappointed given how he’s made lots of good videos before.

[@Hydman84]

Yeah I feel like pre-evolutions shouldn't count. Otherwise reasonable

[@Keizer0724]

If I had to choose 1 out of the legendary birds. I would choose Articuno because it’s design is graceful while Moltress looks like a naked bird and even though I like Zapdos. He seems off but I don’t know why.

If you guys are seeing a reply from someone that has the hoops and hip hop logo picture with a text me on telegram in the name saying you won something. It is a scam.

[@KuroiRenge]

Design-wise, Articuno is still my favorite Legendary. It's so graceful and elegant, and really leans into the legendary aspect of the name. It still looks like a Pokemon, but just much more sophisticated. Moltres has some cool art when it's in its flying top-down pose, and Zapdos looks like... it looks like it's trying to take your lunch money but doesn't know how to actually be intimidating enough to do it.

what? drizzle is not a good ability? is literally one of the best abilities :I drizzle halven the damage of fire moves and double the power of water... in rain water moves will hit like trucks even resisting pokemon, aswell as being paired with lots of other abilities like rain dish or swift sim

[@gadaboutgriffon4446]

Scam alert. You tubers announce winners in videos.

[@jmelovesGod]

So some of the popularity is already based on other things like stats, movesets, looks, etc, so popularity is very fair to use to help determine something. as long as there are other things that are weighted more than the popularity. So basically what you did with the starters was good. Some people might not see it that way I guess, oh well lol.

[@happy.time.boredom]

I like your content mate, but popularity has no place in objectivity lists like this.

[@jonathanphone6419]

I will maintain until my dying day being part of an evolutionary line excludes a Pokémon from being legendary. Legendaries are meant to be single stages.

[@crawdaddy1234]

Mespirit should have been the worst in Gen 4. Its stat distribution is awful and makes it way worse than Uxie or Azelf.

Just started the video but I'm surprised Groudon on the thumbnail...his ability takes away every water and ice type move ..and allows him to use solar beam which is 120 damage with 100 percent accuracy...and this is a two turn move which can be used by Groudon on one turn

[@GamingMasterAnthony]

I actually don’t count the sun/moon box legends, and their evolution line, as… well… legendaries. I count them as ultra beasts. Nor do I count cubfu/urshifu as a TRUE legendary, their legend status in my eyes comes from the fact that they’re the “secret armor” and that’s about it. Without that I would just imagine them as an amazingly rare pseudo legendary line.

[@PsychicJaylen]

We should exclude popularity and anything that involves other people's opinions because even though cosmog is made for a character the player is supposed to like and not battle with it's still the weakest legendary and having a big roll of popularity and being a star main character or whatever does not change the fact that it's the weakest it's to completely biased in a turn base FIGHTING rpg to just say that it's not the worst just cause of popularity with other people that's why I mainly only take data from the games itself to see what pokemon are good and bad

Kyurem-Black who was stuck in OU for 3 generations: am I a joke to you? Regigigas: cries slowly for 5 turns

[@phonepup06]

I was really shocked to hear drizzle listed as the worst ability in gen 3 legendaries, and also to see Torn as the worst gen 5 legendary. Drizzle heavily increase the damage output of ogre as well as supports its team mates (whole teams are made around this ability but on far worse Pokémon). And I think the ability of Torn for priority tailwind, rain dance, taunt, etc should carry it over something like Virizion. Justified seems to make far less sense of Verizion than the other swords of justice; and it has a 4x weakness.

[@eelingtonious]

how is drizzle worse then clear boddy? boosting 150 power waterspou or origin pulse is broken af, and never missing thunder is also broken. While what does groudon have? it just weakens water wich is good for him ig but he really doesnt run any fire moves outside of heat crash. Plus regirock's clear body is situational while kyogre's drizzle is always good unless your opponent can use it better than you can.

[@Xinestral11]

Who looks at the pre evolutions when deciding an objective worst? They're a part of a whole and to be fair, they're the only ones that evolve. Of course they'd be forgotten, the evolved forms are what people use.

[@skyeblu3178]

Yeah Tornadus T, insanely good pivot in OU is for sure worse than Virizion

[@rendeason4615]

[@Hierophant_Bean]

OBJECTIVELY THE WORST (in my opinion)

[@TheRGuyRock]

I think the moves a Pokémon gets should be a category. Entei gets Sacred Fire, which is an insanely useful move and should almost disqualify Entei from this video.

[@cloudcleaver23]

Why consistently evaluate type based on defensive weakness, but not offensive prowess as a STAB?

[@BNotInc]

On a competitive VGC standpoint, I would say that this list is basically correct! Other than Cosmog being worse than Cosmoem in competitive, but who the heck uses Cosmog/moem? Anyways, I can maybe argue that Virizion is worse for Unova Legendaries because poor typing, but Tornadus is still a fair pick. Hoenn, I’d say Regice because of Ice being such a poor type, but Regirock is equally as bad. And for Sinnoh, I say Regigigas is the worst. Just because of Slow Start. Once it gets out of Slow Start, then it’s fine, but in Slow Start, it’s definitely the worst. Also as a competitive player, DRIZZLE IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE BEST FRICKIN’ ABILITIES!!!!! It’s always almost ESSENTIAL to have weather! Plus Kyogre is SO EXTREMELY terrifying with those STAB/RAIN BOOSTED Origin Pulses and Water Spouts! Drizzle is instantly one of the BEST abilities. Clear Body doesn’t even compare.

If/when you do this again another criteria you could add would be in game lore. Sure a pokemon can be really powerful and be loved by fans, but if the lore says their a jerk then that's what they are. A good example would be giratina, its powerful and loved by everyone, but it was sent to the distortion world for a reason.

[@pollie1220]

May I suggest design as a category instead of popularity? Subcategories Origin Execution Origin does not count to the final ranking. However, it is a base for the execution. Execution defines how well it executes it's origin, and generally being well.. Pokemon enough. And no, it will not be judged off of ugliness. Just because Stunfisk is ugly, doesn't mean its design is bad. It executes origin properly. Now, take this with a grain of salt as I don't do stuff like this, and feel free to passively explain if this is bad in the comments.
