#Pokemon #top10 #darktypepokemon - Ігри
Raichu was one of my top 3 favorite way back when R/B first came out. I always picked up a pickachu in Viridian forest and evolved it as soon as I got the thunderbolt TM.
Same unless i was planning to use jolteon that run
@@DFRNTVIEWSTV I always ran both lol
It's honestly infuriating that since Pikachu became the mascot Raichu got no love. Raichu was a perfect blend of cute and cool. Being cast aside like that is just tragic
@@InfernosReaperagreed, Raichu has been top 3 since RBY when I was 6, and I still remember being annoyed in Yellow having to trade one from my Red 😂
Never used Pikachu past Misty. I wouldn't use Raichu. I never used the fossil mons either. I would always save the good tms until I could do the missingno glitch.
Victreebel is the #1 pokemon in yellow in scott's thoughts speedrun series. It is incredible for a solo run.
More of a vileplume guy personally
Who's Scott? Is the channel just called Scott's thoughts?
@@KyleJoseph94 he a solo speedrunner in pokemon. I love his content
@@kabirdang1346same, along with Jrose11 and Mah Dry Bread
Sandshrew/Sandslash has always been my favourite Gen 1 Pokémon, gald to see it get some love and appreciation.
It does have good physical bulk and hits back decently hard.
Sandshrew was the first Pokemon I ever saw (a baseball teammate was handing out Pokemon cards on the field back in.... 1998 or something, and handed me a Sandshrew card. I still have it.) and will always be one of my favourites due to it.
Sandslash I finally got one in Soul Silver and boy it's good. Gen 1 is good.
Kabutops is my favorite fossil, and rock type for that matter. It’s also tons of fun to use
I remember my first ever playthrough of Pokémon having Dodrio and Victreebel on my team. Dodrio was the MVP lol
Jynx is awesome. Its just so rare in a playthrough.
Stab Psychic and Blizzard cuts through a big chunk of the Elite 4.
I'm training my Pokemon to level one hundred in Fire red for Colosseum at the moment and after facing Agatha multiple times I'm realizing dis about Jynx. She fast af too 🤦🏻♂️ lol
10. Raticate
9. Jynx
8. Raichu
7. Articuno
6. Kabutops
5. Dodrio
4. Tentacruel
3. Kangaskhan
2. Victreebel
1. Sandslash
Can we talk about how neglected Kangaskhan is? Just look at it. Does it look like a pure normal type? I think not. I'd agree on fighting (look at those tree trunks for arms) or dragon (looks pretty scaly to me) as either primary or secondary typings in a heartbeat. I could even see an argument for ground being made.
Also we have it since gen 1. Over 25 years. It was overlooked every single time evolutions for older pokemon were added. Give me Kangunior already!
It's also a pain to get in most gens.
The one time it was relevant in a not-gen-1 and got something, it's the most uninspired version of it. Kicking your child out of your belly pouch qualifies as mega evolution? Wow.
It's one of my favourite gen1 mons and has been a part of my team for every og blue run and all the remakes. Give this gentle giant the love it deserves!
Also yeah, Sandslash is the best looking final stage groundmon. Not as cute as Sandshrew, but still great.
Shout out to Aricuno, the first legendary I ever caught ❤
Mine toooooo !!!!! Then Zapdos
SandSlash: You know they say that all mons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Rhydon and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another pokemon, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Golem to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the pokemon battles , you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning. But I-I got a 66 2/3 chance of winning, 'cause Golem KNOOOWS he can't beat me, and he's not even gonna try. So, Rhydon you take your 33 1/3 chance minus my 25% chance, and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at a pokemon battle But then you take my 75% chance of winning (if we was to go one on one), and then add 66 2/3 cha-percent, I got a 141 2/3 chance of winning at a pokemon. Battle! Señor Rhydon the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at pokemon battles!
I used to use Sandslash and Dodrio a lot when I played Gen 1. One of the reasons I loved Dodrio was Drill Peck, my favorite flying move. Pidgeot is great and all... but it can't learn Drill Peck, and between Fearow and Dodrio, I prefer Dodrio.
Also I don't know if it's underrated but I would ALWAYS get the Dewgong from Cinnabar lab named Sailor/Cezanne, always liked Seals/Sealions and ice is my favorite type.
Didn't know there was still a gen 1 competitive scene.
Articunos blizzard is a real powerhouse in gen 1, now i understand the blizzard nerf, but i dont understand why they nerfed articunos special attack.
Articuno's Blizzard is the most powerful stab move in Gen 1. That mon wrecks
I'm using a Ratticate in my current playthrough, and dont let the 50 special fool you, i used Water Gun then Bubble Beam on mine, that 50 isnt great but it damn near one shots the Rock/Ground types. I used those TMs because i plan on using a Starmie later on so i didnt need to use them on anything else.
Raticate a fast lil beast lowkey, even on Stadium etc.
Thanks for the tips. I didn't know raticate was seriously that good. I am using one in Yellow and it is pretty op.
@@Mysticgames136 if you want to invest in it, Hyper Beam is INSANE on him. It is a lot of Coins but you wont be let down.
Gen 1 Hyper Beam does NOT recharge if it Ko's and with Raticates Attack and speed effecting Crit Rates, its very likely to do that.
@@TheAuron32 I don't think I'm gonna do that because I will eventually switch out raticate for something better. There are a ton of better options than raticate anyway.
Jynx? The second best Psychic behind Alakazam and Alakazams' worse fear in competitive with Lovely Kiss
Dodrio? The Zapros of Gen 1 OU where it's feared for it's Tauros Crit Rate and 10 points higher after on its normal stab and isn't afraid of Executor with stab Drill Peck
Tentacruel and victreebel? Who one is known as the Wobble master and the other one outclasses Kanto Grass King Venusaur
I'd also argue for kadabra. I've used it in basically every playthough I could with it having the move set of Psychic, Recover, Shadow Ball and Shock Wave, or some variation while holding a Twisted Spoon. The thing is outright broken in the early game, and I still keep it around on my team even though there are arguably better Psychics out there.
Something about catching an Abra, getting it to Lv. 16, having it evolve, learn confusion and tear though the early game is just so satisfying to me.
For me underrated Pokemon are
Raichu
Nidoking
Fearow
Primeape
Lapras
Vileplume
Lapras underrated? Nah no way
Nidoking is used to speed run yellow version
@@Raghav._.7.7 Yea bro tweakin, I don't use it, but everybody else does lol
I love Raichu!!
The Scott Steiner references always pop me
Saaaaaame
my first team in blue when i was a kid was blastoise, victreebell, flareon (my best floofy boy), raichu, clefable, and articuno. good memories.
Victreebel is very underrated. Even in crystal, you can get the leaf stone somewhat early on by making friends with a certain trainer who will give you a call.
I mean, Articuno gets Bubblebeam in gen 1. Its great coverage against rocks and fire types. Coming off of a base 125 Special has some hefty weight behind it.
Dodrio gets talked about all the time and by anyone who dose a nuzlock
Its the best flying type none legendary
And one of the best normals
Especially after it got Jump Kick and 10 points added to its base Spd in Gen 7, the Knock off buff in Gen 6, Stomping Tantrum in USUM, heck even in Gen one it's considered the best of Tauros and Zapdos in one Pokemon with Drill Peck, Body Slam and Hyper Beam with it's Tauros level Crit Rate thanks to that 100 base Spe.
I have already used Articuno, Raichu and Sandslash. Personally, I don't like Sandslash during a playthrough. However, Articuno is really good, despite being considered the weakest of all legendary birds
Raichu is a good pokemon, but if you have chosen Bulbasaur, I think you only need to catch a Pikachu at the Power Plant because Grass type can work better than Electric type in gen 1 and an Electric pokemon, like Raichu, will mostly help you during the Victory Road because Lance and Lorelei
Raichu has been on almost every team I've played since Red when I was 6. Raichu still remains a top fav
My favorite team was Venusaur, Sandslash, raichu, arcanine, articuno, Gyarados (and sub someone with gengar if I ever had a trade partner). So I’m glad to see some of my favorites get some credit here.
Raichu is my underrated best mouse boy❤ it actually hurts how much this poor lil chonker gets forgotten 😢
For me the two underrated mons are Persian and gyarados, with the big cat having the strongest slash in the game and gyarados being a pretty solid mixed attacker because it’s special is 100
Love the video and keep up the great work
I'm doing a playthrough of Leafgreen right now with what I consider an "underrated" or pokemon that I rarely use line up. So I ditched my starter for Mankey. So my team is Primeape, Nidoqueen, Tentacruel, Dodrio, Clefable and Victrebel. I'm liking it quite a bit.
I have much nostalgia for Kang, but regardless of that it’s still very underrated and a great mon who can tank, and deal out damage!
Electrode is very under rated. Fastest Pokémon in the game. Can thunderbolt common types like water and flying. Can also be a quick toxic or thunder wave
All I’m saying is I would love to have victoribell’s cry from the anime as a notification tone
Sandslash is always number 1. I always have one when I go through Kanto. Besides Sandslash I have to get a Kingler,Pigeot,Vileplume, and Primeape.
Raichu is my favorite electric type. Always loved it, even Lt Surges
And I've always wanted to use Sandslash in a play through
I feel like for this video, it would've been better to have a visual representation of base stats as they were in Gen 1 for every entry instead of just the few you did it for.
Otherwise, good video!
Love the use of GB Pokemon TCG music in this.
What I find funny, my most recent nuzlocke used Sandslash, Victreebell, and Dodrio and I loved using all 3 of them
I'm a newbie with Pokemon but on a play through I go a dotrio it was bomb. Then raichu/voltorb (I think) charizard with fly/flamethrower vaporeon as water/swimming Pokemon and a either Kadabra or something like it
Enjoy rocking out to the Gameboy Pokemon card game jam lol.
Does this list apply to Stadium too?
The main problem with Kabuto/Kabutobs is the learnset. Besides Slash and Hydropump, it won't learn anything interesting on its own. It even starts with Scratch while omanyte starts with Water gun.
That leads to the other problem.
With water/rock type you would expect either bulky, master of defence pokemon or expert in special attack, but Kabuto is neither one, losing in each stat to the Omanyte.
Still hoping for a "top 10/best team of gen 4 and after if there was no physical/special split"
A very underrated Pokemon to me would be Spearow & it's evolved form Fearow as it got overshadowed by Pidgey and it's evolutions Pidgeotto and Pidgeot which is a real shame as Spearow and Fearow are my favorite flying type Pokemon
The only problem with those guys is that Dodrio is just flat-out better. There’s no reason to use Fearow in competitive over Dodrio
@@gastlies1577 never been interested in the competitive scene just having fun playing the game with my favorite Pokemon is good enough for me
I’ve always loved Raichu more than pikachu and I always use one in my team if I can.Its use in the anime kind of upsets me because anytime a Raichu is present it’s always just a punching bag for pikachu 😭.
I am a big fan of Poliwrath. I always try to use it in a Kanto playthrough. Along with good old Nidoking and Aerodactyl.
my last playthrough had a poliwrath and nidoking. absolute lads. they rounded out my team well.
tentacruel has one gen 1 exploit of being targeted by Agility while still having ice beam against lances dragons
Lickingtung definitely underrated
Where do you get the stats chart
Didn’t know cousin Greg was a Pokemon fan
When I was a kid and played it, my main team had raticate, pidgeot, and raichu. They made things super easy or frustrating as they were all glass cannons. I had a kadabra, bulbasaur was my starter pick, and garados finished the team off. I did catch a zapdos after beating the game, and mewtwo escaped my masterball and I thought I was ripped off.
Masterball can't fail because it skips the accuracy check entirely, so why are you lying?
@@davion4777 Gen 1, everything had a 1/256 chance of fail/missing.
@CC-bn2ws It doesn't even fail. It even says it in the description of the masterball. I never failed with a masterball and I been playing a ton of pokémon games. I could obviously tell that you're lying.
@@Mysticgames136 You can tell me I'm lying all you want, it happened, and has happened to others. You seriously don't have to believe me, you obviously never will anyway. But it happened.
@CC-bn2ws I would believe if you had any proof but you don't and master ball doesn't fail. I used it on Moltres and I caught it instantly. I could say the same on other gens.
Not bad never took Bellsprout’s evo line as a powerhouse, I guess I should have known considering there is anime episode depicting Bellsprout’s power
Victreebel is actually really good. It's much better than vileplume. It may be an unpopular choice but you definitely need it for the 2nd gym if you chose Charmander.
Gen 1. Yay!
Raticate: Not underrated. Just outclassed.
Jinx: You have a point there.
Raichu: Not underrated. Just outclassed.
Articuno: How is this even underrated? It's a good Pokémon.
Kabutops: Not underrated. Just outclassed.
Dodrio: Not underrated. Just outclassed.
Tentacruel: You have a point there.
Kangaskahn: Not underrated. Just outclassed.
Snorlax: You have a point there.
Victribell: Literally the best Grass Pokémon in the game outside of Venusaur for in-game.
Sandslash: Not underrated. Just outclassed.
I definitely beat the league with dudrio on my team in red
The problem with Kabutops is that you get it at a piss poor level and around the 7th gym, near the end of the game. There is pretty much no reason to train it at that point.
My favorite bird on Gen 1 is Doedrio.
I would say everybody used raichu back in the day when the first gen was released.
in gen 1 my favorite was nidoking it hard carry me in my 1st playthrough in pokemon yellow and the move thrash is so busted i literally thrashed all the npc's except koga and his damn venomoth using psychic
Sabrina would give you a hard time if you were only using Nidoking. Koga was just the beginning of that.
Victreebel actually is my favorite grass type in Gen. 1 over Venusaur. And one of my best pokemon. Since I always ended up picking up Squirtle or Charmander as a starter.
Victreebel is amazing. I didn't even know it was underrated. It's much better than vileplume. I even picked victreebel over venusaur in Let's go Eevee and I never even regretted it.
Raticate with Super Fang and Hyper Fang or Strength makes for a very dangerous pokrmon.
Lol it really does. I been hit by super fang and it knocked half my health which is insane and that was from a wild raticate.
Best teams for stadiums?
idky but in gen1 i ALWAYS ran a Victreebel on my teams
Raichu is like gamefreaks Faramir, while Pikachu is its Boromir.
Sandslash and sandswer were my favorite Pokémon till amrouge
Agree with the list but where my bois hypno and scyther at
Hypno saved me in Pokemon Stadium 1 R2 last year 💪🏾 lol
If you’re going to talk about original red and blue Pokémon games you should use the original stats before the special split so it makes more sense
Raichu! My baby!
I think that all your choices were good.
You know who else loves Jynx? Mr. Popo
Damn right Sandslash is should always be #1. My personal favorite as well
I never even bothered with it. I will probably use it in a playthrough and see how good it is. I even see Blue using it in Yellow.
@@Mysticgames136 Sandslash hits hard and is fast
@jvan6582 65 base speed is slow but the defense, attack, and hp are pretty decent.
@@Mysticgames136 correct idk y I said speed I meant defense lol
Big poppa pump???
Gen 1 game is broken that's why normal and psychic type Pokemon are OP. So there are other underrated Pokemon like raichu ,nidoking, fearow, etc.
Nidoking? Underrated? Even before life orb and sheer force, Nidoking is a popular pick, as you can get it early and get a moonstone (or two) as early as Mount Moon.
Gen 1 Jynx can be nice as you get it by trade so 50% exp gain
You could also find it wild but that's post-game.
@@Mysticgames136 in-game trade only
@jamesworkshop9181 I'm talking about the let's go games where you could find wild Jynx. I know it's a remake but it still has gen 1 content.
Designs .. *shows Vaporeon*... i see what you did there
Why don't you do an "underrated" for (ultra) S&M?
I always liked raichi more than Pikachu, Barney badass little mouse
Bro seadra is super underrated
I didn't think original Gen1 had double types?
flareon for me is underrated
You also should have put hypno he always carried my team you get him earlier in the game and is overshadowed by most psychic types aldo moltress in my opinion is worst than articuno i barely used him
I use Kabutops over Omastar
arcanine !!!!
Overrated
Yea hell no the bellsprout line is way more under used and its not fair bc of how good the sprout evo line is
Stop being mean to ice types!
Drinking game: take a sip every time Mystic says "competitive" or "meta".
I have always hated kabutops' design. I picked it as my first fossil in my first playthrough. This is a time before I had any advanced knowledge of anything and guides, and info on the internet was hard to come by. I got kabuto and aerodactyl revived and was instantly disappointed with kabuto in comparison. I didn't give it much thought as I figured it would evolve. When it learned absorb, I was disappointed again. Then it got slash and evolved. I kid you not even as a 11 year old kid, the first thing I thought was no wonder this thing went extinct. How does this thing eat or sleep without accidentally impaling or decapitating itself. I knew then high crit moves were broken, because Charizard has slash too. But my first impressions of the kabuto line were forever ruined, that it only became a pokedex entry and sat in the PC after.
Raichu is so much better than Pikachu and this isn't even a hot take, just a fact 🤷♂️
It really is even though I beaten Raichu with Pikachu at Pokémon Yellow but I was quite overleveled anyway. I used a Raichu in Crystal and it is actually doing pretty well despite the reputation it has. Electabuzz is very overrated.
