as a singles player I love the landorous mention as most players are famous for complaining about how common it is and think that just the therian form is broken without realizing that the incarnate form is objectively better and has been banned pretty much since it came out
I have wanted Ursaring to get a glow-up for so long and then in legends it did and I love Ursaluna so freaking much. Not even just in a competitive sense, I just love my big bear friend. Once I have the money I'm getting an ursaluna plush
The main thing all these mons have is that they're all pretty close to broken or just broken in some way. They also all cheat the rules. Ursaluna either ignores Burn halving physical damage or immunities and accuracy changes. Urshifu breaks every defensive counterplay. Calyrex has two Abilities and signature moves that are far stronger than they should be. Landorus has either Intimidate or free Life Orb damage. Ogerpon can switch Abilities on demand.
I get why you want to say this but I think including base Ursaluma and Landorus is just flat complaining abilities exist at all. Like Guts, Sheer Force, and Intimidate are just normal ass abilities. You can get two of those on regional birds. Hell Squawkabilly gets all three and it sucks.
@@jacobbrown9894 That's kind of true. But, two of those Abilities do something that changes the way the game works. Guts changes how Burns work. Sheer Force's interaction with Life Orb is just weird. Sheer Force explicitly doesn't remove recoil for moves, but it does for Life Orb. It feels closer to an exploit that GameFreak has canonized. Intimidate is just a personal thing. I really don't think it should activate multiple times per battle when Supersweet Syrup doesn't and when Dauntless Shield/Intrepid Sword were nerfed to not do so. Still, yeah, there's a pretty clear difference in the amount of gameplay changes the newer forms cause compared to the older ones.
arcanine could be a contender, With the kanto form being a bulky pure fire type who likes to support the team with will o wisp, howl, intimidate and decent damage with flare blitz or finishing low hp mons with extreme speed, and the hisuian form differing being a fire-rock type with worse bulk and more offense, it can run the kantonian set or an all out offense choice band rock head set using flare blitz and head smash for massive damage
@@GravityIsFallingthat Is so incredibil wrong and untrue, they are completely different Mons, Like Indeedee male and female, One Is a support and the other Is and offensive mon
it said alternate forms. volbeat and illumise are two complete different pokemon and has their own dex# entry. so volbeat and illumise doesn't fit the criteria.
Commenting for the algorithm. 😎 Legitimately didn't know the Ogerpon masks also gave a passive attack buff. What makes Ice Rider generally better than Shadow Rider? My guess would be bulk but I thought its typing would be a big hinderance. I guess Trick Room carries it?
The bulk helps it a lot, in trick room it's a menace, but it's signature move doesn't have any types immune to it, while caly shadow has to worry about normal types. The typing also works in ice's favor compared to shadow since the latter has 4x weaknesses to ghost and dark and the former only was weaknesses to fire, dark, steel, rock, and ghost. Of course, there are more ways to slow down physical attackers than special ones, but I'd say that ice is still better in a vacuum
As Mudkip was saying, caly Ice only having 2x weaknessess and great bulk means its longevity is still quite good, while caly shadow is frailer and has the two 4x weaknesses. Especially in reg G, where you only got one restricted, you had to invest a lot of your team into protecting and enable caly shadow bc of its fragility, but caly Ice you can largely just let it do its thing while other mons also apply pressure.
Calyrex Shadow Rider is the reverse in singles due to how extremely strong, and fast Shadow Rider is, and with bar none, the best signature move of any pokemon, you get an absolute broken centralizing threat in singles, and that's why in gen 9, Calyrex-SR is banned to AG.
Convergent forms are Pokémon that appear similar or related but don't actually have any relation. Some examples are Toedscool/Tentacool, Wiglett/Diglett, and Sinistcha/Sinistea
A lovely video, although I'm surprised to not hear about Rotom. It's the premier multiple form pokemon and each of its forms has had success in its own right (Besides fan because, well it's Rotom fan)
The craziest duo is definetly the urshifus in normal regs and the calyrexes in restricted
gen 8 and gen 9 power creep go brrr
calyrex is a trio lol
@CutestDogs0 yeah but i mean whos using base calyrex
Definition of 'pay to win'
@@blackdot105 they arent legal in competitive lol its not p2w
I'm absolutely in love with Ursaluna, especially Bloodmoon Ursaluna.
He looks absolutely badass.
He was so valuable on my team through Regulation F.
Ursaluna is the best!
This guy is gonna be huge. Keep pushing. We here for it 😊
Thanks!

Pretty sure the scroll of darkness/waters were in Isle of Armor. It’s just displayed at their respective Towers rather than an evolution item.
Scarlet and Violet they are items.

Thanks!
Its obviously incineroar
This joke was run into the ground on Wolfey's channel. Can we not spread it onto other channels as well?
@@TransparentlyDuplicitousNo I am pretty sure it was run into the air since there is a Tera Flying incineroar above you.

@@ajye8935 I mean we are about to get mega incineroar in the next games so I feel that would be a pretty good addition to his kit.
Good definition for form at the start, i was expecting to be disappointed by that aspect of the video specifically

It’s weird that Mon
From here on out assuming both forms are available at all times…no one will use kanto arc
@@GravityIsFallingthat Is so incredibil wrong and untrue, they are completely different Mons, Like Indeedee male and female, One Is a support and the other Is and offensive mon
@@alessandro1885
In Gen 9 what I said is correct
The question becomes when Tera is no longer a thing will hisuian still be objectively better
you are so insanely underrated ❤️
Lando Incarnate and Bloodmoon Ursaluna are some of the most broken Ground types OU ever seen
I like how the alternate forms of Ursaluna and Calyrex riders have it where one is special and the other is physical
New subber here. Content seems great
@@mattyorshin thanks
i think you forgot the insane skill of volbeat and ilumise - 7 time world champions and absolutely broken beasts in AG…
it said alternate forms. volbeat and illumise are two complete different pokemon and has their own dex# entry. so volbeat and illumise doesn't fit the criteria.

Technically Urshifu was evolved by the scrolls in SwSh, its just you had to go to the scrolls
Hello I'm a new member today and thanks for making it cheap
Thanks for supporting the channel!
altered form incineroar
By the way for those that don’t know Bloodmoon Ursaluna is male only.
Currently hunting 0 atk and speed Blursaluna (my second compared to my wind bear). Hopefully this vid grants some luck
@@wanderingtyphlosion7332 I ended up settling on a 1 speed, 5 attack when I got my Bluraluna but good luck on yours!
@x_bell1142 lowest I got so far was a real 5IV including that 0 in speed, and 3 in attack
I like your vids
Thanks!
2 words Power Creep
Flying rotom has the best ability in the game tho
True
And it combines with the best item ever, Air Balloon
imagine if you could use both usrhifus or both ursalunas at the same time
@@EmersonCRVG That would be sick
Ursaluna is just busted. Both forms. I'm still salty I never managed to get a Peat Block for it in Legends yet 😭
I was waiting for Arceus
Arceus is a mythical, a group of Pokémon that are not legal in the competitive format of VGC which is the focus of this video
