    • @iantaakalla8180
      @iantaakalla8180 Рік тому +12

      “Star Platinum, from its debut, was always going to be broken. It had the ability Gap Closing, which made it so that randomly only Star Platinum took a turn 30% of the time, and only other Pokémon that controlled time, like Palkia, were immune to this ability. As such, it was instantly moved to AG. However, with more generation going on, power creep came up, and while Galarian Raticate also had a move that dealt double damage to those that took two turns for Galarian Raticate’s one turn, it was in fact the new threat of the legendary Made In Heaven that plummeted Star Platinum to never being used. Made In Heaven had the ability Time Loop, which was basically speed boost and the ability to take two actions if the opponent had Gap Closing as an ability, meaning it was the perfect counter to Star Platinum. To add insult to injury, Made In Heaven was already one speed point higher than Star Platinum.”
      “While it is true that Weather Report counters Made In Heaven because it randomly sets a weather and gets access to Toxic, Weather Report naturally neat all sweepers, which Star Platinum is, and not even Gap Closing helped Star Platinum defeat Weather Report.”

    Ah, I remember this boy. I first remember getting into this Pokémon line from seeing Tripps Gurder in the anime. When I got White 2 I used a Gurder on my team, but I could never get it to evolve. I levelled it and levelled but nothing worked, then I quit that save as my only strong Pokémon was the Gurder and it was completely walled by Gethsis. It was only years later I found out you needed to trade to evolve it… it was only recently enough (now that I have friends) I got to use this boy for real.
