- Today I'm taking a look at the STRONGEST Pokemon in the 3rd Generation! Note, this is based on the competitive nature of the Pokemon during the gen, so this isn't reflective of how they perform now!

"the type combo of water ground was introduced here" poor quagsire gets forgotten once a new form comes along lol
And after Quagsire came Whiscash, Gastrodon, and Seismitoad.
Yeah I need to stop letting mistakes like those slip past me. I've been feeling pretty burned out for a while now and I need to start checking for things like that. It makes the content halfassed. I'm really sorry about that. I hope you still enjoyed the content nonetheless though!
Wopper and Quagsire. Am I a joke you you?
I still love Quagsire after Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness. Holds a special place for me and I love that smile. Plus earned MVP Twice both games.
@@MysticUmbreon apologize to the wooper line lol
Anyone here think Gen 3 is still their favorite??
Loved gen 3 had over 1000 hrs on sapphire
Emerald is amazing I like Ruby and saph but it doesn't have the battle frontier and there's no endgame
I love how Swampert started the trend of Starter Pokemon becoming competitively viable. Great typing, stats, and movepool. You would expect this thing to be a great wall but behold, it is.
Blaziken was competitively viable in Gen 3 as well, although not so much as Swampert. It was actually a good answer to Swampert with HP Grass (after a bit of chip) and handled a non boosted Ttar, as well as Bliss/Skarm very well because its super effective STAB hit both on their weaker defence stat.
Swampert was glue in gen 3, Blaziken could complement certain team types very well.
@@iCABALi
Blaziken waited for Speed Boost ability and the next generations to be really good.
Dies to Breloom tho
@@stuartdparnell Breloom can't swap in to a full health Swampert in Gen 3 though. Most Swampert carry Ice Beam which is a 2hit KO. Without technician, Breloom would need all 5 Bullet Seed hits with good rolls to OHKO in return, or lose it's Most important utility by dropping either speed/attack EVs to invest in Sp. attack.
Breloom don't run Bullet Seed as is on most sets.
This ignores the offensive Swampert set which almost always OHKOs Breloom with Ice Beam.
So no Breloom doesn't beat most Swampert at all.
@@iCABALi Have you considered the subseed variant of Breloom?
I literally just bought ruby and sapphire for GBA and started a playthrough on sapphire
I am so glad I stayed to the end of this video! It was very well put together, but man Scott Steiner reference that is just an extra bonus right there! That guy is a gem
I totally forgot about heracross and donphan in the hoenn pokedex. It's available in safari game zone.
9:47 "the water/ground combo was introduced here"
**sad quagsire noises**
Good Morning Mystic,
Happy to have a video to watch during breakfast. You rock! 😄
Hey, love the content! This could be an ask… but I’m looking to get more into competitive battling, wondering if you would ever considering doing an explainer / top 10 recommendations on player v player battling!
Hear you talk about set ups, like prankster/tailwind set up (maybe this is a thing, idk), or the OU teir, but I don’t know what that means really? I don’t know too much about it, or how it would work, hut I know I would love a proper explanation to it all!
That could probably not be possible but cool if it is!
Cheers!
As far as i'm aware, there were 3 physical/special splits from gens 2-4: Stat Based (as Gen 1's special stat was split into special attack & special defense), type based ( as seen early on in this video), and contact based (whether a move makes the attacking pokemon come into contact with the defending pokemon or not)
The third type doesn't determine whether a move is special or physical at all. Bite/Crunch/Elemental Punches all make contact but are based on special attack v special defense. Some later fan hacks made the distinction more like gen 4 and later.
Love that you put each mon's ex card art. I am currently collecting them from that era
Kinda surprised that Alakazam, Blaziken, and Gardevoir didn't make it to the list and didn't even make it to the honorable mentioned list
Pretty sure Alakazam and Blaziken were in UUBL, decent but not good enough for OU and Gardevoir was like NU or something definitely nowhere near this list
What about Flygon?
imagine if claydol was introduced in gen 1...
Mystic. I often watch your videos just to hear your opinion! You have the best top 10's, thanks for putting all the work into it!
Love the video and keep up the great work
Tyranitar is considered the best mon in Gen 3 OU because it learns dragon dance as egg move, aside from having good distributed stats.
My team back in the day
Zangoose
Flygon
Sceptile
Manectric
Gardevoir
Milotic
The goat team 🐐
great list good work.
Ahh Gen 3. The generation of bulky waters, sandstorm, spikes, and Tyranitar for obvious reasons.
I loved the little Umbreon transformation animation :)
Water ground was introduced with quagsire and Unaware Quagsire is dangerous but as it goes when something shiny and new comes along the old is forgotten while heartedly
Hard Zacian check, yep.
If Blaziken had speedboost in gen3....
Using Light Screen and Reflect could definitely help with Claydol.
You just reminded me of how my Tropius lost to a focus band Swampert with ice beam😫
Claydoll: I may not be Kobe, but at least I have levitate to save me from that OHKO.
Defense Curl blissey is slept on
would be interesting to also get to hear why you deselected top 1 spots from earlier gens completely in the next gen - eg taurus or snorlax
Another good listing. Yeah, gen 3, I feel, is when things started ramping up for people.
I JUST CAUGHT A SHINY ZUBAT IN POKEMON LETS GO PIKACHU!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! (I'm sorry, its only my 3rd ever shiny after a shiny Drowzee and Pidgey both also in lets go).😃
Amazing video
I came in guessing Tyrantitar would be on here.
Pokemon stats/weight etc. are insanely weird
@@isaacthompson7966 Tyranitar gets it jaw spun by a Machop with Brick Break...
@@MegaShepardsPie that's my point, it doesn't seem like that would happen but it does lol. The size and weight difference between them is crazy
Hm, a very interesting and fair List, i wonder what we can expect from Gen 4?
Garchomp, Heatran, and Scizor gonna be on the top, I guess
Garchomp was banned from OU in Gen 4.
Calm Mind Blissey wasn't that popular during Gen III in the NetBattle days from what I remember. It was a rare alternative moveset, but mostly at first it was just Seismic Toss and sometimes Counter. Thunderbolt/Ice Beam/Flamethrower became popular on Blissey when Focus Punch Gengar started becoming common. The moveset was called McIceGar, and it was a HUGE shakeup of the metagame at the time and it allowed Gengar to beat the usual Blisseys at the time. Maybe a few years after Gen III when Gen IV or V were out Calm Mind Blissey became more popular, but on NetBattle it was virtually considered to be a gimmick. This top 10 list would have been very different if it was made in like 2005, but UA-cam didn't exist (or wasn't very known) back then, so we don't have this kind of record for those times, oh well. Tyranitar would definitely not have been ranked #1 back then (it was still considered to be fantastic though and top 10). Snorlax and Suicune would have definitely been in the top 10, maybe Celebi too. In fact, I think people would might put Suicune in the top 3 during NetBattle days. Pokemon like Dugtrio, Moltres, Hariyama and Milotic probably wouldn't have been even honourable mentions back then, they weren't considered to be that good at the time. Dusclops, Rhydon, Weezing and others were considered to be better. Things like dry Baton Pass, Arena Trap and Choice Band were very underrated back then. It was only towards the very end of Gen III when people realised how amazing Choice Band was. That was revolutionary too, people went crazy when they discovered it. So Choice Band Metagross was not its standard moveset until shortly before Diamond and Pearl came out. For most of Gen III, Choice Band was only considered as a viable option for Slaking because you would usually switch out with it anyway. The idea of being locked into a move seemed extremely punishing for most people until we saw wild success in Smogon tournaments with non-Slaking Choice Band Pokemon, and then everybody else copied it, and to this day it's still a very popular item! Awesome video, thanks so much, I loved it!
Damn bro I’m not tryna be mean but you wrote an entire essay for just 5 likes
ohhhh the gen 3 music
so nostalgic
No breloom?
Tbh imo that's best lead to use as sub punch is hard to counter if you give it atleast one free turn and then only like mence can counter it unless it's behing substitute
I'm pretty sure its fragility...
Getting bagon is too late. You get it after having 8 badges plus getting the hm waterfall.
12:12 Zapdos shouldn't be a problem for *Blissey*
I think it would've been better for you to say storm of terror instead of reign of terror considering it can use sandstorm.
Team gen 3:
Blaziken
Manectric
Milotic
Aggron
Heracross
Swellow
Milotic takes about a day extra but worth it
The numbers don't lie and they spell disaster for any pokemon video without Scott Steiner in it
i need a steiner reference for all videos now
My personal opinion I don't see Smeargle as great of a Pokemon in general, cause of how it's style of fighting works. But I respect your opinion that you see it as a worthy honorable mention.
I once took out a guys team of legendarys and broken Megas in omega ruby with just a wobbufett
Gardevoir is able to sweep Steven even with his Metagross
Emerald is my favorite classic pkmn game. I love the tropical feel. All honesty tho I’m more of a Torchic guy over Mudkip. Charzard has my love fire more than water 😂
I’m not even into the first 2 minutes of this video but check this: I’ll make a team based on the top 10 of Mystic and I’ll EV train those to be champion in Pokémon Emerald and then challenge the Ore Colosseum (Pkmn XD) I’ll come and comment here when I achieve it
How hard is it to get through that colosseum I never did it as a kid and now I’m like wondering
@@17Jroach Orre Colosseum is arguably the hardest in gen 3. It really is a nightmare because your opponents are all competitive and all of them are double battles. If you manage to build an EV trained team you can try it. My winner team was: Snorlax, Zapdos, Metagross, Aerodactyl, Latios and Salamence. You battle against legendaries too
Can't w8 for gen4-9
U forgot Quagsire existed before Swampert 😢
8:32 not it wouldn't. Gengar appreciated access to Fire and Ice punch and its not like ghost was a good offensive type in gen 3 with so many pokemon resisting or easily shrugging it off
I think that all your choices were good.
Did I just get Big Papa Pumped???
Is Gen 3 good or bad for Fairy type Pokémon? I’m asking because Kanto is the worst for Fairy types because of all the Poison type Pokémon found everywhere
I think it's pretty good. This video only talks about the original Gen 3 Games Ruby Sapphire and Emerald. Regarding Fairy being bad in Gen 3, only fairy types in Kanto are Clefable and Wigglytuff. At least in the Gen 3 remakes (Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire), You have pretty good Fairy types such as Gardevoir, Mawile, and even Azumarill.
@@billdeco08 I see
I am curious if his list would change for omega ruby & alpha sapphire
@@Emily-lh6em drastically change with all the mega and new gen pokemon and mechanics. If not counting newer mons(but counting their mega) we have, order by community viability rankings,
1.Clefable. Overall great. Abilities are amazing, movepool for offensive, defensive, and utilities are all ridiculous
2.Mega alakazam. Fast and strong. Very fast and strong.
3.Mega Medicham. Hit hard. Super hard.
4.Mega latias. Cam be full offensive or support offensive. Still great.
5.Mega metagross. Actually really fast, hitting hard, and bulky threat.
6.Normal Tyranitar. Mega is not worth. Still great, can either be full bulky or offensive. Best pursuit trapper.
7.Slowbro. Eat hits for teammates, switches out and heal back with regenerator. Very common on any team with bulk.
8.Mega Altaria. Scary offensive threat with Dragon Dance and fairy double edge. Can be bulky support but rare.
9.Mega Charizard Y. Best sun setter and a strong wallbreaker with great coverage.
10.Zapdos. Good offensive pivot that can defog.
(Note: Blaziken, Deoxys, mega gengar, mega kangaskhan, Mega lucario, Mega Mawile, and mega salamence are banned to Ubers with all box art legendaries(bar kyurem black) and some other busted mons.)
Bro make a unique team for gen1
Was that torkoal in a master ball???
Best Pokemon introduced gen 3 (no starters/legendaries):
Claydol
Gardevoir
Hariyama
Aggron
Flygon
Altaria
Milotic
Walrein
Salamence
Metagross
You forgot Breloom with technician and Mach Punch forget about it
@@Weav576 breloom technician in 3g ?
#1 to honorable mention. Quite the fall.
Interesting video but no mention of the battle frontier in generation 3 that really pushed forward the competitive aspects of pokemon? I don't like this "OU" stuff given most of the pokemon on this list are powerful on this gen and had been used by me in the games not including mew or celebi due to lack of access to the event only pokemon back then, thankfully we have access to those pokemon today as they are given to us (celebi is now catchable in virtual console gen 2 crystal and mew is now given to us from pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl.)
Why’d the lvl 40 Regirock use Explosion on a lvl 15 Swablu lmao
We just gonna ignore the fact he named it digger?
I want to meet the person who decided that ghost type moves were physical. Then smack them in the face. Seriously why 😂
No one’s talking about “Digger”😳😂
Gen 2 introduced water ground
The Magic/Kobe simile doesn't work because Kobe made 12 all-defense teams, and Magic didn't make one 😆 more like Dennis Rodman to Carmelo Anthony
Aerodactyl is quite excellent in gen 3 OU, surprised its not in your top 10.
This seems to be based on the ADV viability rankings in Smogon. Aerodactyl is basically on the same level as Suicune, Dugtrio, Celebi and Claydol, but he chose Claydol for the 10th spot.
Yea no pokemon omega ruby swampy :) i believe i also put a power up punch on it
With the amount of honorable mentions, might as well just made it a top 20 🤣
4:19 *gen 4, not gen 3
Dude I spent years playing competitive Gen 4 and Salamence spent 90% of the time in OU, not Ubers.
I would argue zard is more of an honrable mention. It has access to the hardest hitting move in gen 3 ou. Blaze boosted overheat, which will do roughly half to t-tar and suicune. It's a hard counter to this generations steel types, can check gengar bc unless it's a max spc atk it will not ohko with tbolt and just be in blaze range, and can check bliss with beat up or focus punch.
Disappointing to see my all time favourite 'Salamence' so low! 😒
Dang, now I really wanna go play ORAS again 😅
Aero, Dug & Celebi were all better top 10 picks
No restrictions HGSS please 🥺
Just to point out something (sorry to be *that guy*), but, fratility isn't a word. Frailty or fragility work fine to describe weakness/susceptibility, just for future reference!
All of the people who try to talk about blazeken being better than swampert need to watch this
Here
4:18 *gen 4
Aggron has left the chat. Can learn almost any special movie
Bruh... "Water Ground was introduced here"
We know you know better than this! Poor Quagsire. Oh well, not that it cares.
He love gardevoir rules 34
Where is Latios?
I cannot escape Scott Stiener
Rayquaza is number 1
First ❤
Second
dusclops > gengar
Cap
Omg dont say Rayquaza if youre ignorantly going to pronounce it like (rayqwayza) there is no q(way) sound its qua like
Quad ray(qua)za
