      Speed is primarily a gameplay mechanics, it doesn't have any sort or form of relevance on the game's story.
      And if it did, speed most likely would represent combat speed, like reaction time and whatnot.

    How GOOD was Mew ACTUALLY?
    An extremely versatile pokemon who has evolved and adapted every generation, and one of the few pokemon to drop from Ubers into standard play, this could be an interesting video that finally dives into the Ubers meta over time!

    • @TheCanadianWifier
      @TheCanadianWifier 7 років тому +7

      Mew's problem is that it was a jack of all trades, master of none. In the early gens, the power creep wasn't as extreme, so a Pokemon with access to every TM and 100s in every stat was far too versatile for standard play. Eventually, people realized that the new Pokemon that were introduced were better than Mew at pretty much anything Mew could try an attempt. Example: Thundurus was a better Nasty Plot sweeper, Scizor was a better SD sweeper, Latios was a better defogger, Rotom was a better momentum volt-switch user, etc. It __can__ do anything, but it's outclassed by something else no matter what it tries to do. Also psychic typing sucks ass.
      Hoope that answers your question, as I feel like a Mew video is a long way off.

      +TheCanadianWifier I agree that Mew gets outclassed at everything, except for his role as a Defogger, sure the Latis and Fini are good offensive Defoggers but they have a hard time finding a moment to Defog against Offense since they get pressured so much. Mew on the other hand can be tailored to check anything your team is weak to, against any archetype. You're looking weak against Z-Lando and Zygarde, you can use fast Mew with Ice Beam so you can come in on rocks and threaten them with Beam. Weak against Medicham, you can use a slower Mew that threatens Medi and Defensive Lando with Wisp and Ice Beam, and so on

      Fucking amazing offensively. Stealth Rock revolutionized competitive play and made some Pokemon completely irrelevant just by existing. Also, if you combine every pokemon type, it would only have one weakness - a 2x weakness to Rock. The reason why there are no powerful 100% accurate Rock moves is due to it being far too powerful offensively.

      Ah, Crobat! It is an interesting pokemon. When it came out, Crobat was one of the worst pokemon actually, due to it's awful movepool. However, after that, crobat has stayed relevant. It has been At least UU in every gen, as well as OU and BL, And has switched from physical attacker to special to support to gimmicks, as it has quite the versatility. Even when it was dropped to UU, it still had a unique niche. So all around, i would say Crobat is pretty good!

    • @RoyRogersNews
      @RoyRogersNews 7 років тому +1

      Kingdra can be ran in several different ways even with its poor movepool. You can run it as a Dragon Dancer for physical coverage or a rain dance for that swift swim ability. There might be few more ways to run it that I am not aware of, but do not underestimate this epic seahorse.

      The only reason a PU Pokemon is Uber, it two hits KO primal Groudon, and with Focus sash and reversal, it can. Deal massive damage to anything that doesn't have priority, even priority since it gets Sucker Punch and with its blazing speed, only a few Ubers can outpace you
      Take arena trap out, insta PU, although sand force with something like Hippo or Tyranitar makes so your Earthquake demolishes with ease

      Onix was niche at best in UU (since NU didn't exist until Gen 3) thanks to Rock/Ground typing hard walling Electric types (barring Electabuzz who has Psychic and Raichu with Surf) and Bind which is among the broken Wrap-like moves in Gen 1. He was otherwise outclassed by Graveler in UU since Graveler has a decent enough base 95 Attack stat and a movepool with all it really needs and Rhydon and Golem in OU.

      Phobic Tribe I predict that it’s near perfect in Gen III, making a fantastic counter to most special attackers, and checking Tyranitar and Salamence well. But a lack of buffs in Gen IV reduced its usefulness, and the poor sea snake has been dropping in the tiers since, especially with a limited movepool.
