LOOL I'm sorry
It gets like that. Luxray vibes
Something tells me you’re not being serious.
Edit: I was talking to False Swipe Gaming. Not Chelsea Comps.

Sometimes, it’s the truth that hurts the most.
I got an idea on how too beat your op eterna Giganta dynamax cast form.
1: gigalith with sturdy
2: gigalith with sturdy
3: wobbuffet with quick claw
4: wobbuffet with quick claw
5: wobbuffet with quick claw
6: wobbuffet with quick claw
The 2 gigalith's have sturdy soo I will last the 3 dynamax turns.
Then keep using destiny bound for quick claw. And if I lose I try again.
Technically since castform is an oxygen molecule, you can use it in Team Sky
This is Mikey gonna love
That and his Special Ability Forcast makes it a Barometer, which measures atmospheric pressure.
Technically it is an oxygen plus two hydrogen atoms only. So it makes sense in Team Aqua playthrough.

Lets be fair, of the “How bad was ‘X’ actually?” Castform is neither the longest nor shortest, luvdisc and mighteyena are even several minutes less then castform, now that’s something
Probably because FSG was memeing the entire video from start to finish
I wouldn’t rule out Mightyena. It’s at least got STAB Sucker Punch priority, a surprisingly diverse movepool that gives it excellent coverage, and even Moxie to boost its attack from defeating a foe.
I was actually able to defeat a Dragonite in an online battle using Mightyena.

Ditto is viable, ESP in ndag or ubers
@Aim shia that it cannot attack
@@WellWater35732 no it is that it can't die
@@Altanis1 well, I didn't really say that all of them are useless. All I said is that all of them have a fun gimmick to them. I love it for its creativity in their mechanics as pokemon. Whether or not their useful/useless competitively is an entirely different argument.
Forecast should be: "Castform's Water, Ice, Fire, and *Rock* moves set up Rain, Hail, Sun, or Sandstorm (respectively). Castform transforms with the weather."
This would happen before the move is actually used, just like Protean/Libero. It's called FOREcast after all...
This ability might sound a little overpowered, but it would at least balance a bit its crappy stats. It would be nice to see its stats have different distributions for each form as well.
On Castform? Nah, that ability wouldn't even be near broken. Castform still needs to land a hit to activate it and good luck with that. At least your version of forecast would make the little cloud much more independent.
@@AlbRomano yeah I know, right? At least we could run it with a Focus Sash or Scarf to set up some weather. Another option would be "Castform's weather moves have priority. Castform transforms with the weather."
Nah it wouldn’t be overpowered after all mega eevee in Pokémon insurgence would be so much better than the deltas starters.
With base 70 stats and no sand form? Heh, not even close. It might get out of untiered, but it still sucks. I wish it was good, its so interesting in concept with a unique ability but it's stats, movepool, no sandstorm form and lack stat boosts in weather kill it. If Castform wasn't nerfed to the floor in every aspect but it's ability, Castform would actually be good, but literally everything but it's ability works against it and it's ability isnt near strong enough to make up for everything else.
Plus Gamefreak gives no shits about balancing, they gave us megas, Mega Rayquaza and OP Gigantamax pokemon, I don't think balancing is a huge concern for them.
It won't be OPed at all... this thing has base 70s in every stat. In-fact even if it autoset permanent weather that couldn't be removed unless it switches out. Unless it's getting a stat boost on transformation it's not lasting long even with an ability like that,,, Actually it's more likely to get KOed before it even had a chance to activate. If they gave it 100 Base Speed and it's stats swapped around on transformation it would be semi-decent. But even with 100 Speed it'd only have 450 BST to toy with.
Cancer Fairy Meta buffed Castform in a similar way.
"People would make fun of it. And my protective instinct would kick in."

@@urdeadnotbigsuprise7439 I love those two as well. And I also want to protect them from the weirdos. I know it's kind of mean to call them weirdos but I just don't get why people are attracted to pokemon. Personality wise, they're basically animals.
@@laurenchinsphealsupremacis9978 I don't know about why Delphox but I have an idea why for Salazzle though, it's Pokedex entry says, it makes a harem of male Salandits, or forces them to serve her.
I respect Gardevoir, but it's nothing compared to Gallde (imo) it used to same/better than gardevoir till Gen6, but it got Fairy typing, I really hoped Fighting was atleast as good as Fairy
I agree with you
This just made me feel bad for Castform. It's such a cute Pokemon that could get plenty of weather related forms or just a stat buff, even if they need to forsake the 420 BST
I disagree... buffing Castform implies that all Pokemon need to be strong.... which is not an idea I am comfortable with...
@@TheDeathmail why not? You can’t really battle with weak Pokémon. I also don’t see why cute Pokémon can’t be strong.
@@Acrum99 yeah like marshadow, maybe Celebi And Mew As Well
@@syedannankamran6266 Well those are mythical pokemon, they have lore soooooo
@@TheDeathmail but like… it’s a gift pokemon, with no evolutions and it STILL SUCKS imo it’s a Pokémon that deserves a buff. Other Pokémon can be weak ur castform deserves a buff to me.
This just gave me an idea, imagine unique held items for Castform that would summon weather upon entry into battle and would boost its stats a bit, like a Rain Doll, Hail Doll, Sun Doll (and Sand Doll?), I wonder if it would become even slightly more viable lol
Honestly no. Weather setters are better. They honestly have the benefit of having items. If castform had different stats depending on it's forms it would have been bette. A better stat spread would have done it justice.
In Radical Red if Castform holds the appropriate weather rock and uses weather ball, it counts as both weather being set up and an attack which will change type. Castform has also received a buff all round to its base stats.
yes gamefreak should, gamefreak was just tossing castform from one director to another.
Radical Red does that with the rocks instead
Pokemon Rejuvenation does something interesting with a system called crests (held items that help different pokemon). There is a Castform crest that assists it pretty well imo!
9:36 The fact that Electivire’s Smogon analysis is WORSE than both of them astounds me.
If you’re wondering, it’s Smogon analysis is “Don’t use Electivire.”
It's because people actually use electivire rather than it obviously being awful
plenty of pokémon have "don't use _______" for their smogon analysis
Problem with Castform in a nutshell: It has a really, really good set of moves it can learn. It's diverse, but its base stats make it abysmally horrible. Mixed Attackers are usually bad (with some exceptions, like Infernape) but Castform's stats are so low that even if you make its base attack stat 1 and gave special attack and speed a boost, it would still be bad.
Hail yeah! Let's go with feeling bad that our favorite Pokemon aren't so good competitively; I can relate so hard, Michael 👏😂😭
As a Slaking fan I can relate. I mean he's strong but Truant holds him back from being viable.

For similar reasons to you, Druddigon is one of my favorite Pokémon of all time. Everyone I talk to says it’s a terribly designed dragon and that it isn’t competitively viable. I think it’s cute and I enjoy using it on Showdown :3
Same
Lame
Elmer Perez Says the Druddigon hater 😩
Druddigon can actually work super well in competitive play if used correctly.
Its got good abilities in Mold Breaker and Sheer Force, a great attack stat and decent defense stats, and a pretty solid movepool with enough moves to exploit the Sheer Force + Life Orb combo. The obvious problem it suffers from is its severe lack of speed. But hey, that’s nothing Trick Room can’t fix. Plus Druddigon’s one of the few Dragon-types that can work under Trick Room, so it’s especially unique.
People seriously underestimate the power of Trick Room. It helps a myriad of different Pokémon shine in battle who have amazing potential but are held back by terrible speed. If you wanted Druddigon to work in competitive play, I consider looking into Trick Room.
I like how it's shiny version kinda looks like it has mistletoes as wings

In my opinion, castform would have been the perfect mythical Pokemon for RSE.
No disrespect to Jirachi but a Pokemon whose entire gimmick is dependent on the weather would have been perfect for the Gen which was centred around two different weather mons.
Mythicals usually represent next generation of games, not the current one
@@bvd_vlvd ..not really
Yeah? There overwhelming evidence for this, especially gen 3 and beyond
@@zlong9252 celebi represents gen 3 somehow, jirachi represents gen 4? i guess i kinda get that one but it’s a REALLY big stretch. darkrai and shaymin represent zekrom and reshiram???? once again, a very huge stretch. i will admit meloetta and hoopa do somewhat represent the next gens, but, magearna represents Galar? this theory is full of holes and barely makes sense lol
@@acorn_acrom Magearna is a perfect example because of industrial's revolution peaking in uk. The further the generations go, the more it makes sense, especially from gen 5's three musketeers onwards (only the 4th musketeer is a mythical but still)

Yeah
I don’t want sun form just to be 2 balls other are just fucking same your idea sucks
Castform is based on the water cycle
Sun form = evaporation
Rain form = condensation
Hail form = precipitation
Preach. People always suggest new Castform forms without ever grasping the entire running theme behind the three existing forms. It always "there's no water in sun form" as though that somehow justified their sandstorm form idea.
couldve used steam
not a fucking sun
Rain is precipitation, genius.
Clouds are condensation.
What about lack of water
Sun form = nothing apparently because Mikey doesn't know how rain works
I feel the exact same way about the Delcatty line. It's my favorite Pokémon ever but it sucks how much it tends to be the butt of a lot of stat jokes... as well as Wailord jokes but we don't talk about that...

In the middle of FSG talking about "Mega Giganternamax Z Castform," I got an ad which was literally just a Rickroll, and that's fucking poetic.
The only way they will ever make castform useful is to evolve it.
Greatly boost all its stats(except attack) would be helpful, make it work for all weather and/or get a boost in weather.
Better question: How come it never got a Fog form because Weather Ball gets its attack boost in Fog but stays normal
what type would fog be?
I always thought Castform needed an evolved form. Something in the 600 range stat spread. With different forms having different stat spreads bringing a strategic element into using this pokemon with a held item and move being used to give it a preferred form such as a Sunny Day setup giving it a special attack form with higher speed, but a Hail setup giving it special attack and a boost to defenses at the cost of speed something like that.
When it switches forms it takes those now base 100 stats around a bit. Dropping some to 80 (still better than current cast form) but boosting other stats to 120. Imagine a lightning form cast form with a base 120 speed, 120 special attack and 120 special defense it wouldn't be the strongest but it would be hella viable especially with a unique move something like "Weather Cascade" that allows it to use a move based on its current form. Same type as the current form for STAB, having base attack power similar to things like Thunderbolt/Thundr, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, etc with the 30% chance for status effect. Might not make it one of the best but hell it would be fun to use.
Honestly, and this is the funny thing- 88 in everything before Forecast is involved (528 BST, just barely above Venusaur) would've been enough.
All different weathers take a significant amount from the physical attack- it's not like the movepool supports physical sweeping anyway- and one other appropriate stat, turning Castform into a a role that fits the weather. Fast Special sweeper, wall, tanky Special attacker, speedy support mon . . .
I agree, Castform needs a very powerful evolution, so much so that I drew one I called Weathform
When I played Emerald for the first time, I used it on my team, and I remember being sad that it was sort of hard to use. But a few years later I found a rom hack of Pokémon Emerald that basically modernized the mechanics, including reusable TMs, and Castform was one of my best team members since it had coverage for EVERYTHING. That's when my love for Castform grew by a lot.
I think that's a case of being held back by limitations. Like you said when tms became unbreakable he got way better
What ROMHack was that?
@@Acequatch Pokémon Sigma Emerald
It was rom hack that made it good not that it was
@@mydogghost All the Rom Hack did was give it its Gen 7 moveset and made TMs not break. It didn't change anything other than that.
I wish castform got an eeveelike evolution method.
Level it up with high friendship in a natural weather, and it evolves into a pokemon that's half flying, half the weather type of the weather (fire, water, ice or ground). Two of the stat's are boosted to a base 100, while two are put to base 80 and then two at 60, and they have the associated weather ability
Rock, not Ground. Sandstorms are much more about Rock, from the setting move being Rock type to the added special bulk on Rock types.

The acid rain phenomenon that occurs within Pokémon Platinum is insane. Imagine not saving for an extending period of time and being stuck in this perpetual loop of castform and it’s sun and rain forms 😮💨. It’s frightening 😱
Literally 😮💨
Here's an interesting idea, but I think Castform would be ok if it got a +15 base stat in every stat, as well as making the weather change whenever it uses a Fire, Water, or Ice type move. That way it would be super cool as a weather changer and ability, as well as not being as squishy.
my castform buff idea:
+70 base sp.atk
give it a sandstorm form
no other changes
Actually, even without the stat boost, this would really improve Castform. It would allow it more move slots, and more coverage, while retaining it's gimmick.
They should make it so that you can change castform's ability between drizzle, drought and snow warning. It's stats will still be garbage but I can see a lot of mind games being played with team preview
Perhaps Castform could change form outside of battle and remain in said form while holding Heat, Damp, Smooth, or Icy Rocks and holding any of these Rocks gives Castform immunity to Sand or Hail regardless of which form its in. This also causes Forecast to change to Drought, Drizzle, Snow Warning, or Sand Stream while holding the respective Rock. Additionally, each form has its own stat spread. If hit by Knock Off or any other move that removes an item, Castform would be subject to whatever weather changes occur next.
I did *not* know about the Smogon overview for Gen V delibird until now, that’s _incredible._ XD
“Is this a roast?”
“No, a roast is good natured.”
Imagine If Castform got all the types in Legends: Arceus
At least it'll happen in the cascade region
I’m on board with a sandstorm Castform, but regarding not having one because it’s a water molecule: I think it’s because as a water molecule it represents the water cycle and the sun part would represent evaporation. Sandstorm, again while I’m happy to have it be a form, doesn’t fit that specific motif.
I literally watched that video and I have been bracing for Mandjtv impact. 😂
The reason Castform doesn't have a Sandy Form is because sandstorm has nothing to do with the water cycle. Sunny Form represents water vapor, which is water evaporated by the sun, Rainy Form represents rain, and Snowy Form represents snow and hail. Sandstorms are basically when strong winds blows dry sand into the air, making it completely unrelated to the water cycle, and since Castform is supposed to be based on a water molecule, it makes no sense for it to have a Sandy Form. It makes more sense for Castform to have a fairy-type Foggy Form that activates during Misty Terrain, since mist and fog are essentially low-flying clouds, or even a electric-water-type Stormy Form that occurs only when both Electric Terrain and rain occur, since thunderstorms occur when the rain and ice in a cloud create an electrical buildup. To add onto Castform's Forecast, you could make it so that when it's in Foggy Form, Weather Ball becomes fairy-type and gains doubled damage it gets in weather, while when its in Stormy Form, Weather Ball becomes electric-type.
FSG has top tier content. They way they go so in depth over every generation’s meta-game is incredible
Atleast in Lockstin's fangame Castform is getting 'some love'.And by 'some love' I mean alot of new forms, maybe buffed stats and the whole game relies on weather soooo....
Castform Happi :D
Still can't wait for this region to be a real game

I loved when Castform got some appreciation in the Alola games, as a support of Totem Lurantis.
It was perfect: Sunny Day, Weather Ball, Water Gun and Headbutt.
Synergy with Lurantis' sun-boosted Solar Blade and Synthesis, various coverage and a flinching move :D
Castform, being a manmade Pokemon, should have gotten an evolution. What I don't like Pokemon doing is creating all these new evolution items and not using them for older Pokemon.
That is so true. They should have made it powerful like the man-made pokemons, Genesect and Mewtwo (and other poweful mythics/legendaries)
@@jeavoirichards9379 or just porygon
@@mikemiller8430 exactly
I have a idea for a evolution of castform that is that whenever it reaches a specific level in a particular form it evolves into that type so castform hail form will evolve into a ice type its base stat total becomes 465 it's defences drop to 50 and it's speed bumps up to 105 and it's special attack bumps upto 120
Bro, I'm literally making a fake mon region with THIS EXACT CONCEPT. Except the BST for the Castform evos are all 500
I think it doesn’t have a sandstorm form cause a sandstorm isn’t technically a “real” weather condition. It’s just sand being blown about by the wind.

There is is still one question waiting to be answered:
How to counter Eterna Giganta Dynamax Castform?
Realistically? Focus Sash Wobbuffet. Click Mirror Coat.
I thought of a more creative one(although much less easy)
Bring in a Pokémon with less than 25% health with a custap berry…
Then be lucky and hit it with fissure
Easy. Go over to the trainer's house. Blackmail him. Take all his money. Kill his dog. Drink all his vodka. Delete his pictures of anime women. Send his document about Gardevoir to the world. Turn off his device. Kill him and sell his body. Done.

Mandjtv you have saved me. Before u found your channel I was not so happy and I was getting bullied. You are the reason I stood up for myself and put my self out there. I thank you so much and I hope you keep making videos p.s. I am 14
How to make Castform good
Give it a hidden ability called Combine
Combine: If castform has more special than physical moves, combine adds castforms physical attack to its special attack making it 140. If the target has higher special then physical attack, then castforms special defence goes from 70 to 140
Yea that would be op
If Forecast forms causes Castform to have different stat spread, it will be so GREAT:
- Sunny form: 70-50-50-110-50-90 (for solar beam and fire weather ball)
- Rainy form: 70-50-90-70-90-50 (defensive strategy with thunder and hurricane)
- Snow form: 70-50-50-90-50-110 (a speedy hail-blizzard strategy)
And as bonus:
- Sand form: 70-50-90-50-70-90 (slightly faster defensive strategy with sand tomb).
Hot and sunny weather is related to water molecules. If it is that hot, there's a lack of them. The amount of sand in the air however doesn't impact the state of water
Even though it's true, it hurts SO MUCH how weak Castoforme is. Hail yeah!
Yesterday I rewatched his how good was sceptile reaction and I sear to god I thought he had already done a reaction to the castform one but hey now it exists
It would be hilarious if they did made castform as OP as he says, and then get it banned so it's still unusable 😅
Oh no

It must have been painful to see castform getting one shot for a full 18 minutes by almost every Pokémon.
That facial expression change at 7:20 though! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I posted it there, and want to repeat it. My "strategy" to kill ultimate castform was use Screech on three Liepards followed by three max atk +atk natures Banded Gigaliths with Stone Edge.
1:53 - Castform doesn't have a sandstorm form because it is based on precipitation (Water, Ice) or the severe lack of precipitation (Sun Form).
Can’t wait to watch the full video, just by the title i think i’m gonna enjoy it.
To counter eterna giganta dynamax Castform:
Bring a water type, set up 3 swords dances and hope to god it misses thrice and you outspeed it, then use a physical water move (2x Super Effective)
Edit: +6 with Swords Dance Urshifu could do it with Aqua Jet
The reason for the sun form and lack of sandstorm form is because sun relates to evaporation.
Imagine when false swipe was making the video, wolfey vcg won a tournament of ubers with a castform lmao
Really or was this sarcasm?
Hey Mikey, it could be worse.
One of my favorite Pokemon is Spinda, whose stats are LITERALLY a joke.
But it got contrary which at least combined with superpower kind of helps.
At least it has millions variant
Idea for a regional variant for cacture: he’s a jack o lantern scarecrow who’s a fire grass type with an ability that makes it a ghost type that is only week to dark types and super effective against physic types and it would be a fast special Pokemon with bad bulk. I would use it because cacture is underrated
I think girafirig needs a new regional form making it now be a dark type Bc it already gets nasty plot and crunch
@@jasonours6957 Girafarig doesn't need a regional form.
It needs an evolution.
I love that idea u should make art for it and upload it to Mikeys subreddit
What even is cacture
Cacturne is creepy
I'm pretty sure castforms forms are based on the water cycle, the water being precipitation, the hail being if/when the water freezes in the clouds (?), And the sun being evaporation.
Give Castform a update on when it change forms it gains new abilities along with forecast. Sun form would gain solar power, rain form would gain hydration, and hail form would gain icy body or snow cloak.
Ofcourse Castform is Michael's favourite
Afterall it's a weather pokemon and would be beneficial for Team Sky
THE LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE HEARD HIM CALL HIM ONE OF THE WORST IN THE GAME 🤣
The reason why there isn't and will never be a sandstorm form is that as said before, sandstorm isn't part of the water cycle. The reason the sun form exists is because the sun evaporates water.
(I'm not trying to be rude to Mikey)
Thank you most countries get rain and sun.some snow. Sandstorm and strong winds are disaster of weather.
@@andersonweir11 blizzards are also a disaster so ice form really doesn’t make much sende
Sense
Water gets absorbed by earth
I stand my case
Make Lockstin's Castforms official, raise it's base Health to 100, and have it's stats change depending on the type it has.
how to fix castform: evolve it into a buff cloud with the same castform face, and it gets to keep the ability too obviously, but it has better stats and stuff
The puns at the beginning had me dead
As someone who once beat Ultra Moon with a Single Castform let me say this, even being level 80 (20 levels higher) with EV investments I still needed good luck to be Ultra Nekrozma. It was funny and I did it buuuuuuut Castform’s stats really need buffing.
Seriously Even at level 100 I still had to use careful planning and some luck.
But yes Castform did beat Every Single Challenge (After ALOT of resets) that Ultra moon had so it take that as a somewhat positive after dealing with this saddening (but well made) video 😶🌫️🥲😡🥶
Here is the thing, I personally think Castform is alright just the way it is (minus lacking a sand form)... I don't think every Pokemon needs to be strong and useful in battle... else it gives the idea that Pokemon are tools used for fighting..
And in certain cases, Castform becomes a self rigged hard mode for players who want more difficulty...
@@TheDeathmail not every Pokemon needs to be strong, but base 70 in everything is just so bad. Even base 85 or 90 is fine.
castform actually represent the 3 stages of water. gas(sun form), liquid(rain form), and solid(hail). that's why there is no sandstorm form.
shuuuuush, you say dirty water is not water?
Sandstorm isn’t water
How about muddy water form, like ground water type? Or a poison form mixed with water
How GOOD was Mandjtv's reaction ACTUALLY
Even if castform didn't get stat boosts in the weather forms, I do think it should have gotten the corresponding speed boosting ability (Cholophyll, Swift swim, Slush Rush in later gens) and a sand form (with sand rush).
I don't know if anyone thought of this but it would be cool if they buffed Forecast to where when Castform gets sent out on the field, if it has sunny day or rain dance, ECT in it's move pool, it could immediately set up the weather of your choice; like dittos imposter ability but with the weather instead. It's not too crazy but it could give it more of a niche and some semblance of reliability
Now I want to see him react to your Castform only run just to see how he reacts to a Castform success, albeit an overleveled one.
i wouldn't really say it's a jack of all trades, since the saying is "jack of all trades, master of none is still better than a master of one" but most pokemon outdo castform in almost everything :(
@@masayumiyyuki2618 LESS THAN 45 GOD DAMN MINUTES. GO AWAY.
How to fix castform: boosted stats with it's forms. Like add 60 points to each form (20 in three stats). For fire in offenses and speed. For water defenses and hp. And for ice add 15 to the offenses and hp and 5 in speed. And add a sandstorm form
There's a reason there is no Sandstorm form. It's not part of the water cycle.
Surprised you didn't know about Acid Rain, it's actualy the basis I have for my Gigantamax Castform idea. It's called G-Max Superstorm and it creates a weather that deals 1/16 HP damage to all pokemon on the field... except for Castform.
It's the basis for your idea why should he know about acid rain?
@@theywalkinguptoyouand4060 Because it's one of his favorite pokémon, and thus makes sense to know the one famous glitch related to it?
I wouldn't expect Mikey to know about this weather glitch just because he likes Castform. At one point he didn't know how Castform's once-signature move Weather Ball worked.
I don't care that it doesn't work competitively, I love Castform. I used one on my team the very first time I played Gen 3, obviously wasn't the strongest thing, but I still found it fun. Still have that Castform, too.
