"Your favorite pokémon sucks"
That one guy that like Urshifu:
Incineroar fans:
Flutter Mane Fans:
Freaky Mane fans: "No, no. He's got a point."
Meanwhile, Zamazenta/Zacian fans:
bruh these replies are calling me out
I like how, for all the mocking Gigalith got in the weather section, it was still treated better than Vanilluxe who wasn't mentioned at all.
Vanilluxe saw some use as a Hail setting in 2017 and 2020, it’s just Hail was uh… not very good, and neither were the Pokémon that benefitted from it.
well there is alolan ninetales
Ngl I completely forgot that Vanilluxe got Snow Warning
@@Endershock1678
It also didn't help that Alolan Ninetails overshadowed it so hard in every way imaginable that it getting Snow Warning ended up being redundant.
@@joshuakim5240Tales and vanilluxe have completely different niches, van is mainly an offensive Mon that is typically a scarf blizzard bot while tales is an aurora veil bot.
It didn't "overshadow" vanilluxe because they played completely differently except tails' niche was easier to build around and overall much better compared to vanilluxe.
Also "Overshadowed in everyway" is completely wrong. Vanilluxe's main niche was it's high special attack able to fire off strong blizzards with a choice scarf which was something Ninetails could not replicate at all as tails' special attack stat was dog and their blizzards hit like a wet noodle.
"Guts-faced Zamazenta isn't real, he can't hurt you."
Guts-faced Zamazenta:
What are you talking about? He's delightful
ZACIANNNNNNNNNNN!
He went from Zamazenta to ZAMNazenta
Nah
Nah, I'd body press
😁
Body press 😳
ZAMN he's gen 8⁉️
“That thing was too big to be called a shield. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of iron” -Incineroar reporting on how it felt getting hit by Zamazenta’s +3 Body Press
lies, Incineroar can't report anything when it is unconscious in a hospital.
@@hamdepaf6686
It’s ghost Incineroar, not Tera ghost, he just died and became a ghost type
@@Endershock1678 you sure the soul wasn't crushed with the body?
Is that a berserk reference
@@steam_cynical1265
Just like the Thumbnail
Iron defense Zamazenta is literally the physical version of Gen 1 Amnesia Mewtwo
Execpt it has weaknesses and isnt faster then all but one bad mon
@@MacieNicholson-kv8mx Yeah RBY Mewtwo is still the most busted Pokemon ever.
@@MacieNicholson-kv8mx Ngl I would use Electrode just so I can paralyze Mewtow 😭😭😭
@@MacieNicholson-kv8mxZamazenta Is DEFINITELY Faster Than Mewtwo . 😂
@@melvondrewhite2674 They were saying "faster than all but one bad mon" which has to be seen in relation to gen. They are saying that in Gen 1 there was only one pokemon that could outspeed Mewtwo, while Zamazenta, even if faster, gets outspeeded by way more Pokemon due to the environment of the battles
"Your favorite Pokemon sucks."
As a flareon enjoyer, I can confirm that my favorite Pokemon does suck
yeah i wish absol was good, he so cool
As a volcarona enthusiast, I beg to differ
must suck not being a scizor fan
(cries in UU)
Imagine an Ability like Sheer Force, but instead of a 30% BP boost, it adds +1 Priority. Flareon with priority STAB Flare Blitz would be pretty lit. If only it actually existed.
If you're worried about balance, make the ability only work at 50% HP or higher. Come on Game Freak, Flareon deserves it!
As a Samurott enjoyer, my favorite Pokémon USED to suck…
These thumbnails always send me
I didn’t look at it 😭
@@theshadowking3198Butter dog. The dog with the butter
"Your favorite Pokémon sucks"
Togekiss connoisseur here. Girl has had some grand moments.
Did you know that Togekiss is more likely to be male
Especially in gen 8
No matter how well it performed competitively, Togiss' flinch-strat moments never been grand and everyone who uses it should feel ashamed.
@forfuchsake2254 so meta support moves and great typing is bad? having 2 immunities for switch ins aswell as good bulk is not ordinary at all
I think my favorite example of a Pokémon going from horrible to dominant was Delibird, those cybernetics really helped it out
That Primal form Misdreavus got worked wonders too
Delibird is still horrible.
1) Thumbnail terrifies me.
2) Wasn't expecting to learn Sharpness boosts Population Bomb.
I heard way too much about Lando T all the time, but to hear Incarnate actually getting some good uses? That was a surprise
Yeah its a japanese pun that makes Population Bomb (Proliferation aka Mouse Math) sound like Mouse Cut.
Population Bomb gets the same amount of power from Technician that it gets from Sharpness, so we already know what it would look like in practice.
Just wait until i tell you that Jet Punch was boosted by Sheer Force, despite not having any secondary effect. It was later patched out
I never get tired of the Weezing/Regigigas story. After years of being a joke, the king of the Regis is able to destroy his enemies with the help of an unlikely partner.
I remember back when Neutralizing Gas was first announced and there were sooooo many Pillar Men memes with Regigigas, Golisopod, Slaking, and Archeops.
I can't wait for all the Zamazenta plushies to outsell the Zacian plushies just because of how good it's become in VGC
You’re still alive?
@@spiro_kontosκοίτα εκεί μην και ψηφίσεις Μητσοτάκη και άσε τα κακά αστεία.
Doubts, it still doesn't look as cool and merch sales are more from people just liking how a Pokemon looks, not competitive related.
@@XC11301991idk its does help sales a lot
His design still suck so zacian may be better anyway.
I'm still surprised that Zamazenta didn't get Body Press in gen 8
Like they really said "let's make a _Fighting_ type box legendary that's focused on _Defense,_ and also add a new _Fighting_ type move that uses the user's _Defense_ for damage. No that Pokemon isn't getting that move, what are you talking about?"
He was robbed! Robbed!
I once saw a video going over Zamazenta and they said something along the lines of it being robbed of getting King's Shield and Body Press. So imagine if they'd allowed that
Ok, King's shield would be absolutely broken! Brilliant yes, and I love Zam, but come on now. Same energy as Chien-Pao with pursuit. Disgusting!!
@@PKshockwave imagine +3 def on switch in with iron defense, body press, some coverage move and then kings shield to lower foe's atk!
especially considering how many broken things they released into the game in gen 8
Flareon: I have a higher or equal attack stat then all fighting types til gen 5 (ture Fact)
Game Freak: your best move is fire fang til gen 6 when you get the move flare blitz
This makes me so sad because I'm a flareon enjoyer. 💔
Also Gamefreak: Here you go Heatmor. A signature move that is 80 base and guarantees a Defense Drop. Oh and since you’re not here in SV, lets give it to Salazzle (a special attacker) instead.
@@DemonRaticateIt doesnt fit flareon though. Fire Lash fits pokemon with Long Fire Tongue
@@zealotoftheorchard9853 I am more talking about how they randomly decided to give Heatmor a signature Fire move when that could have been generic… then gave it to Salazzle which will never use it.
And technically the move states “The user strike the target with a burning lash”. No mention of tongue, so Flareon could just create a fire whip out of its mouth or tail. One of the definitions of the word Lash is the of a swift movement such as the wagging of a tail.
@@DemonRaticate Funny, because Heatmor has slightly more special attack (97 Atk / 105 SpA)
“Your favorite pokemon sucks”
My favorite Pokémon, volcarona, who just finished its second quiver dance:
"Your favorite pokemon sucks"
Can confirm as a morpeko enthusiast that my hamster is as frail as a wet tissue and hits like one too.
It's a bastard in randbats though
1:42 the real crime was making Behemoth Bash not use defense for damage calcs.
I personally also think both doggos signature attacks should've dealt some bonus damage (maybe not double lol) to Tera mons so that it could still have a secondary effect.
Is that a Berserk reference lmao
Love the video so far but there's a slight error at 1:08. The graphic is using Zacian's Gen IX stats while you're talking about Gen VIII, so Zacian actually had base 170 Attack
Nice catch
Let's not forget when Ditto got Impostor and is now practically the best niche revenge killer for when metas become too one sided.
ZAMN will wear the crown of this year's world championship
"Your favourite pokémon sucks."
Me, whose favourite is Rayquaza: *Chuckles in consistent Uber Tier*
Empoleon getting Competitive instead of Defiant was also a great buff it received in gen 9. Didnt have a great impact in vgc, but made the pokemon much more viable
It made it 100% useable which it couldn't say before! I had one on my sandstorm team and it was awesome before we added the restricteds lol
Empoleon with competitive would have seen more play if the power level wasn't ridiculously high
"Your favorite Pokémon sucks"
Yeah, but it's spherical!
3:00 yes, slicing oponents with yoir kids
Apparently it’s a pun in Japanese (kind like Farigiraf’s Psychic type being because Giraffe is Psychic backwards in Japanese)
47% subscribed is the best ratio I've ever seen when it comes to subscribers! Congrats!
Terra Normal E-Speed Dragonite was funny day 1, and it's still hilarious now. The fixed Terra Normal Dragonite spawn tells me they knew this combo would slap
"Your favourite Pokémon sucks"
Damn, M-Ray sucks. Please buff.
Man, my SwSh dogs now suck now. :(
Man when mega evolutions come back they're going to nerf mega rayquaza somehow like giving delta stream a 1 time use or something like it'll reduce damage for flying once per hit😭
@@pigeonleader I don't think so. M-Ray was never as oppressive as Zacian.
Ironically, M-Ray actually does suck compared to Gen8-9 giga-broken legendaries. If the usual official tournament ruling for 1 legendary pokemon ever included M-Ray with pokemon's current roster, no one would choose it over Zacian, Zamazenta, Regileiki, Miraidon, Koraidon, or Urshifu. Never thought i would ever say that and it feels cursed asf to do so.
@@pigeonleader
Either that or make it require holding a special item for its mega-evolution (emerald meteorite or something, whatever) to put it in line with primal Groudon and Kyogre.
"Your favorite pokemon sucks"
Gallade who just got buffed:
Hell yeah, team gallade
Zamazenta is really interesting because it got nerfed (by lowering its BST in parity of Zacian) but the movepool and environment changes did wonders for it.
I'm still baffled Behemoth Bash isn't a steel type body press
tHATS TOO MUCH... BUT i woulf make something interesting... like a defense Heavy Slam... that dobles the damange if the pokemon is bigger
that way Zamacenta can still use only the defense stat, but the Attack is the one that uses Behemoth Bash
But makes sense as it can BASH agaist bigger foes, wich is what it originally did
Also lets give a buff To Zacian, it makes me a bit sad how bad it is now maybe something like
Behemoth Blade takes the Ofensive stat that deals more damange... like Terablast and it counts both Attack and Special attack buffs
“Your favourite Pokémon sucks.”
Poor Flygon, completely over-shadowed by Garchomp.
If only Game Freak would allowed the whole line to retain Arena Trap...
A flygon fan that wants arena trap instead of a mega (that will be completely outclassed by mega mence either ways) 🤯
"Your favorite pokemon sucks."
Me who's favorite pokemon (Kommo-o) won a regional:
Man fav. Pokemon T-tar also won last year.
My favorite is Lucario.
So, a relic of the past and lower-tier play mostly.
But man, when megas come back he's gonna go back to being mediocre, just you watch lol
Fire thumbnail, its a berserk reference for those curious (guts)
What is it in reference to
Berserk @@damianiscringe1082
I think gojo saying "Nah, Id Win."
@damianiscringe1082
Pretty sure it’s a reference to the game series “Pokemon” idk tho
@@RealityGreenYT no that can't be it he has one of his eyes closed which gojo doesnt in there, they wouldnt make a change like that for no reason so it might be something from one piece (maybe something zoro related)
"Gamefreak buffing older pokemon to make the relevant or making them competitively viable for once"
Flygon: So that was a lie.
00:19 Masquerain, the Pokémon which received statistically the largest stat boost of all time, not even noteworth enough to be pictured 😭
the reason the ones with stat buffs dont succeed is because they give it like 10 hp and they call it a day
i really hope they do *anything* for watchog (they made it have the same ability twice because of the illuminate rework for modern games)
20-25 at most, and they usually only buff one stat at a time and then never again
And you wanna know which mon got the most stat buffs ever? Masquerain who got 20+ in both Sp. Atk (80 > 100) and Spe (60 > 80) for a grsnd total of 40+ added to its BST. And the mon is still ass in both formats.
@@goGothitaLOL And its really funny to think about since like its a hilariously small buff compared to what ability can offer
Gallade getting Sharpness from not having a damage boost ability effectively push his base attack from 125 to 210
+1 base stat to HP, done
IMO it makes sense that the two air-based genies (Thundurus and Tornadus) are better in their floating Incarnate forms and the land-based Landorus is (historically, anyway) better in its terrestrial Therian form. Pretty cool if they were actually designed that way.
Gallade going from having Close Combat as his Fighting Stab to Sacred freaking Sword along with an ability that made it even more powerful than Close Combat was all I needed. Psychic Cut becoming better than Zen Headbutt didn't hurt either.
Sacred Sword is really fitting for a knight Pokemon
Another huge one is entei: sacred fire alone made it go from a bad non-restricted to one of the most monstrous physical attackers when paired with chien-pao
As a Gigalith enjoyer...yipeeeeeeee
Zama gaining body press is like Guts gaining the Berserker armor. Also does this mean Zacian is Griffith???
“Is she stronger than you, Zamazenta?”
“Hmm, good question. If Zacian were to be Un-nerfed, it might cause me a little trouble”
“But would you lose?”
“Nah, I’d Body Press”
- "Griffith, Fairy-Steel is too busted, just stay steel!"
- "...I sacrifice them all."
"Your favorite Pokemon sucks. "
Swords dance, Tera Normal, Extreme Speed Rayquayquay still hits hard.
3:14 fun fact now Mega Gallade does less damage output then sharpness non Mega Gallade holding choice band
"your favorite pokemon sucks"
no
kyurem is good.
Great video as always, I like the breakdowns of competitive stats and your thoughts on them, you're a pretty good orator and your explanations make competitive easier to understand
Moxie: “Your favourite Pokémon sucks”
Me as a Butterfree fan: I mean... 97.5% accurate Sleep Powder has to count for something, right?
My favorite pokemon sucks?? *cries in Lilligant Unova form
Lilligant is actually pretty good, primarily due to its niche when paired with Torcoal.
Torcoals sun activates Lilligants Chlorophyll, which makes it faster than almost everything. This allows for fast Sleep Powders
And the most evil, After You. A move that when used on your partner pokemon, allows them to move next regardless of speed. So when used on Torcoal, it allows for full power Eruptions that would normally move last thanks to how slow Torcoal is.
"Your favourite Pokemon sucks, but it doesn't have to."
Nah, they aint buffing Maractus.

LMFAOO is that Guts on the thumbnail 😭😭
Zamazenta is one of my favorite Pokémon for how it’s designed, and now seeing it viable makes me happy.
Another Pokemon that got a sizeable buff in Gen 9 was Slowking, with its new signature move Chilly Reception.
That’s a singles buff more than anything
Same with Regigigas.
“Sir, there’s a Pokémon that nullifies abilities on switch in”
Literally everyone once hearing this information: OH GOD HERE COMES REGIGIGAS
“Your favourite Pokémon is bad”

Called out in the first 5 seconds, you got my interest.
Moxie Boosted: Let me know if i forgot something...
My boy Vanilluxe WAS NOT EVEN MENTIONED!!! It got Snow Warning in Gen 7, making him a pretty decent pick to play Hail...
why pick Vanillux instead of Alolan Ninetales? sheer offense!
Vaniluxe had a bigger special attack and while it was not fast enough to outspeed Garchomp like Ninetales, it was a good choice Scarf user
with 110 Special attack the same as Blaziken and Salamence
and way more than Alolan's Ninetales mediocre base 81 Special Attack
if your team was Hyper offense you can use Vanilluxe as the Ice spamming machine it had a stronger Blizzard and Freeze Dry
while it was not a top tier, it had pretty decent results during sun and moon
and there is always the hope Gamefreak makes another regional format where Vanilluxe can shine... some day tiny boy... Some day
There’s a problem with your logic vaniluxe is a pure ice type while alolan nine tails is a ice and fairy type so while it may be slightly stronger it’s own type doesn’t help it plus with fairy being one of the best offensive type in the game adding it to the glass cannon type of ice and boom it’s a nuke
@@levievil9220 Tell that to Ricardo Pinto, who took Vanilluxe to the top 10 at the Battle spot
Also designed Vanilluxe to outspeed Adamant Pheromosa
And remember how Articuno was able to win a mayor with only ice moves?
Vanilluxe did that first!
Blizzard, Freeze Dry, Icy wind and Sheer Cold
For the exact same prupose as Articuno
And the same type of Vanilluxe ended high on the Dutch open at top 4 and 5
And it even had Hidden power ground in later appereances to deal with ground weak Pokémon like Togedemaru, Alolan Sandlash and Arcanine
And in Gen 8 it had Aurora Veil with a Focus Sash being again in the top 20 on many tournaments
However it was outclassed by G-Max Lapras
But with Dynamax gone it can again be a good alternative for Alolan Ninetales and Abomasnow
@@marcelosandoval8719 alright however alolan ninetails still had more benefits because it can technically set up both screens easily
@@levievil9220 Yeah it was a niche pick but one with actual offerings and not just a worst alolan ninetales
After all Sure Moonblast is really strong
But you don’t want to spam Moomblast with an 81 special Attack
And The best Dragons in the format, Dragonite, Garchomp and Salamence are x4 times weak to ice
So if you want to hit them you probably want to use Ice instead of fairy
The stronger Freeze dry is also a nice addition to deal with bulkier Gastrodons and Mega Swamperts
Him: your favorite pokemon sucks. Ma and my Incineroar: don't lie
Imo they should give giratina origin an ability that works like neutralizing gas since its the "anti-matter" pokemon and it fits it. They gave half the dex levitate back in gen 4
“Your favorite Pokémon sucks”: me and lucario after gen 8
"Who knew shutting off a gameplay mechanic could make a pokemon competitively viable"
Yu-gi-oh Players: May we introduce you to a little something called "Floodgates"
I think game freak might’ve been on to something by not giving Zama body press in SS
I still think Behemoth Bash should calc off defense like Body Press.
"Your Favorite Pokémon Sucks."
My favorite Pokémon is Absol. You may proceed.
The fact that the weather gods cant learn hurricane is a crime..

Another (very minor) Buff was given to Illumise in Gen 9. It's now the only Pokemon that has access to both Prankster and Attract, which works really well in combination with Thunder Wave and Encore, as it allows it to practically shut down any opposing Male Pokemon, which may not sound all that good, but that wouldn't be taking into account that common Threats like Rillaboom and especially the Genies are more often than not Male. Obviously this is a very minor Buff, and a Niche of a very niche Pokemon, but as the #1 Illumise Fan™ I've got to keep Track of even the most minor of Buffs it gets. Still praying that they give it (and Volbeat for that Matter) String Shot back though, they really need it.

fossil fighters my beloved....
“Your favourite Pokémon sucks”. I mean sure they do but Wooper being able to learn Ice Punch without having any arms is still an amazing feat in of itself.

As a Meowscarada fan I accept that
The fossil fighters cleaning theme in the beginning hit me hard with nostalgia, I miss that game

Something something Gen 4/Harry Potter fans lol
Landorus-I also got buffed with access to Sandsear storm is a 100 power 80% accurate which hits both targets and due to having a secondary effect gets buffed by sheer force
"Your favorite pokemon sucks"
Dont' worry, Dudunsparce, you're still the best in my book ;.;
I can't believe you didn't include wind rider Shiftry in this list.
"I think Shiftry is mid" I mean that's the point, before the buff it was really bad like unusable, now at least it can get a +1 attack from tailwind that can set up himself, that's more than nothing
"Your favourite Pokemon sucks."
Hits harder for me as my favourite is Weavile, why run it when Chein Pao does everything it does but better in every way. So my favourite is literally indeed obsolete.
You get knock off :)
Gee, I wonder what could be contributing to that, huh. Could it possibly that the ability slot is wasted by PRESSURE. It truly is the placeholder ability of early pokemon games.
@@soapy5613 Which has done absolutely nothing in regards to VGC. You're still better off running Chein Pao.
@@sasakithesolemnone8108 I really wish they'd give it an actually usable ability, but they haven't and it sucks.
@@WeavyTheSomeonegive weavile sharpness
Empoleon got an ability change that really helped it competitive viability. It gets Competitive now as its hidden ability and I think that helps it alot.
I wish Game Freak though would help some other weaker Pokemon with buffs. Meganium is at the top of my list to receive any sort of buff!
