Imagine how drunk you would get if you played a drinking game where Dusty complains about the high scores the others give a Pokémon and then looks at it and says”it’s so good”
This podcast alone is going to get me through so much of my work day. I can’t wait to listen! I always like going back to Galar, I love the Pokemon from this region.
Y'all always shock me with your negative opinions. And not just the opinion but the intensity. Like Dusty got so mad about eldigloss. Who hurt you? Are you ok? Like that's a lot of emotions, sis. 😂 Eldigloss, get behind me!
Like Soul, I love gen 8, so you were set up from the jump to be the bad guy 😆. You tried your best but I've gotta give it to Lumi's "how heavy do you think an onion is?!?" Always a good time with y'all.
SoulSilverArt said word for word why I love Inteleon. Its idle is a bit offputting but it looks so much better in action, showing off all the gadgets around its body. I don't care if everyone hates this thing, it's my favourite Pokemon and imma defend it till the end. Also, a clarification on its tail "knife": it doesn't appear in SwSh at all for some reason, but it does in Scarlet/Violet. It can be seen in the Synchro Mode, by spamming the attack button until you get the "rare" animation, and also as the default physical attack animation while swimming.
Bruh "Raboot looks like he got a jacket from the GAP" had me laughing at the gym. The Cinderace hate is blasphemous 😂 I got a shiny one and it's my best fricken friend. Actually all of the Gen 8 starters are on my main team along with Corviknight, Grapploct and Toxtricity. However never change Lumi 😂
"The Glimwood Tangle 24hour live stream has room for improvement but..." The Wildest Lumiosepost statement of 2024! lol (I do agree with it though... it's just... if the Glimwood Tangle was an actual Maze 😭, or even better, an explorable Wild Area, maybe even with it's own mini-pokedex... that would have been an Amazing teaser! I also mean, if they had around 5 pokemon to reveal instead of 2 (I'm thinking Ponyta, Impidemp, Hattrine, and Dreepy, maybe if they had just another new grass pokemon like Eldegoss (but not Eldegoss, just one more new grass family), Centiscortch too, as well as pokemon like Skwovet and Sinistea and just returning pokemon you might find there)...maybe even teasing a mythical like Zarude. Zarude needs so much more lore, if they used that to tease Zarude, but then never acknowledge it, continue to not put it in the base game... that would have been an epic reveal of pretty cool content) I'm also not going to lie, as many problems as I have with the actual game, the Pokemon aren't one of those, neither is the advertising. The advertising is great, the original music they produced should have been in the game. I also have quite a few favorite pokemon from this generation, and I like Gigantamax enough. To me it had a lot in common with Z-moves, but I mean, we got new forms. It just was funny for taking the pocket out of pocket monsters. Nothing was pocket-sized about Dynamax. I also feel like Pokemon knows this generation has a lot of popular new pokemon as well as we get quite a few from this generation regularly marketed and merchandised to us in multiple ways.
Mr. Ryme is one of my favorite Galar Pokemon, for the simple fact that his tap dancing fits with every song in the game! I particularly love making a picnic in the Windon stadium because that music paired with his dance can always cheer me up, no matter what😂
In meouth’s defence the hair looking like one solid piece makes sense because it’s supposed to be matted fur look up what matted hair looks like. And because the hair is supposedly hardened as well that’s what gives it it’s steel typing The hair on his head becomes even harder and that’s what makes the helmet of its evolution.
Boltund's tail turns into a lightning bolt when it attacks in game! All the spikey elements are on attack! The resting pose doesn't show that. Also, the goofball element is a good thing, even if it's not your thing.
About the more “humanoid” Pokémon, it could be like how the Pokémon are inspired by real world stuff, in universe the inverse could be possible. For example maybe Kiss exist in the Pokémon universe and they took their inspiration from the Obstagoon line
Since this is pretty much the last one until gen 10, maybe ranking other things like regional forms or pokeballs or gmaxes as you said it's the start so I haven't seen.
even when i disagree with yalls takes, i feel like you guys are super smart and always provide good reasoning that opens up my perspective on mons who i genuinely hated at first sight
What do y'all think about putting the tiers in order from left to right as the math plays out? It will lead to more discussion about which Pokemon are better inside the tiers and we can see which are high B's and low b's
My Top 12 All-Time Fave Pokémon of Gen 8: 1. Obstagoon 2. Sirfetch'd 3. Corviknight Line 4. All Bug-Type Pokémon of Gen 8 5. Grimmsnarl Line 6. Raboot, Dragapult Line and Hatterene Line 7. Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble 8. Perrserker Line, Runerigus and Urshifu Line (Single Strike Style) 9. Toxitricity Line (Amped Form), Flapple and Appletun Line 10. Copperajah Line, Drednaw Line, Barraskewda Line and Polteageist Line 11. Rolycoly, Gigantamax Coalossal and Cursola Line 12. Alcremie Line, Sandaconda Line and Grapploct Line
I just wanna say I love boltund because it looks like my dog none of the other dog pokemon look like a regular dog and that's what I love about it, I agree with making it normal/electric tho
I like gossifleur but im not a fan of eldegoss and I wish more people knew this but flabebe lines based on nymphs fairies that typically take on the appearance of plants and are able to harness the energy of nature hence the fairy typing instead of grass
I went into sword and shield blind on the starter evolutions, picked grass like I normally do, got to rillaboom and deleted my save after seeing him. Then I picked sobble and never looked back. Inteleon is the best starter from gen 8. If rillaboom didn't have the drum set he would prob be my favorite but the drum set just ruins it for me.
I think they just hate on them because they are really popular, this came up a lot in this video. I guarantee if most people hated them Soul would love it, he’s too much of a hipster
Idk how I feel about gen 8 I sorta loved it but the sheer disappointment I felt about some of it really soured my experience the Pokédex cut was disappointing but never bothered me that much. For me it was the performance, the starters and the reused animations trying to trade with friends could be a nightmare and the more difficult raids was impossible to get into due to gatekeeping
So I’m on the Inteleon part and I haven’t watched it all yet but I want give my S tier. Inteleon, Yamper, Boltund, Corviknight, Dragapult, Zamazenta, Zacian, Galarian Moltres, Galarian Ponyta, Galarian Rapidash, Hisuian Samurott, Hisuian Zoroark (idk if y’all did the hisuian ones lol).
Stunfisk-G is an F tier to me because of the sole reason it's existence made me agree with the Dexit crowd. I was using Stunfisk as a way to make fun of the people complaining about Dexit by saying "Boo hoo, I can't have my Stunfisk in the game to use in competitive anymore! Waaahahaaaa, shut up you'd just make more box filler happen!" and then I saw this thing in game and I was stunned for a minute thinking how and why did THIS THING have to be in here and get a regional variant yet Skitty wasn't and didn't? If I couldn't have my Skitty, at least this thing didn't exist in here either, but here it is and now I agree with Dexit crowd.
I'm here to defend the ENTIRE Dottler line. And yes I call it the Dottler line because Dottler is one of the greatest Pokemon ever designed. Shame! Shame on you all!
I love this but hurts seeing the best ones get the lowest tiers. Yall hype it up but the worst one gets the higher tier and the best….. it hurts. Boltund 😢 Cinderace 😖
My biggest complaints for the starters is how incomplete Inteleon and Cinderace look compared to their mid stage evolutions. And Rillaboom for some reason doesn't get Gorilla Tactics in the SAME generation it was introduced!
I think SWSH are the biggest offenders of untapped or wasted potential. More than anything, we should’ve gotten sequels or a third version to fully expand on the lore and Pokemon of the region. I’m still hopeful one day we can revisit it, I still enjoyed it but man we missed out hard on what could’ve been 😩
Holy Rolycoly, it irks me a lot seeing many of my favourites/high tiers from this gen so low (Scorbunny, Rookidee, Dottler, Obstagoon, Copperajah, Drakloak) while the actual stinkers be ranked higher (Chewtle, Stonjourner, Coalossal, Drizzile) than them. Like I won't judge y'all for not putting Orbeetle & Articuno in S, cuz not everybody's gonna have the same unadulterated love for them as me, but Slowpoke above Cinderace???
Idk how, but yall made me a fan of Boltund with the exaggerated amount of hate for it. It's probably the most well done domesticated dog Pokémon to date. (Arcanine is still the bestest good boy)
Wooloo is S for me female indeedee also, I was devastated to see it in c below the male as the male is incredibly unpopular but anyways male is butler female is nanny and they are based on brownies not satyrs
Is it just me or does Dusty always seem to put his thoughts and opinion's above everyone else's? Not just this video, but since I started watching, I've noticed he's not afraid to talk over the other two and talk about his own opinions as facts the rest of the group agree with. Maybe the other two don't fight back enough.
17:36 Dusty typing Fire starters into Google images and getting fire starters images (like for flint, survival, camping stuff) was soooo funny lol
I laugh every time hahahaha 😂
Imagine how drunk you would get if you played a drinking game where Dusty complains about the high scores the others give a Pokémon and then looks at it and says”it’s so good”
As a Galarian myself I’m hyped for this one!
Galarian squad here!!!
Here too!
Rilla definitely my favourite of the 3 starters. Cinderace and Drizzile are both a solid F tier for me
All of them have grown on me quite a lot. I went from being not too keen on any of them to liking all of them.
This podcast alone is going to get me through so much of my work day. I can’t wait to listen! I always like going back to Galar, I love the Pokemon from this region.
We are glad we can be a big part of your day! Have a great day at work!
Galar is so underrated!
Y'all always shock me with your negative opinions. And not just the opinion but the intensity. Like Dusty got so mad about eldigloss. Who hurt you? Are you ok? Like that's a lot of emotions, sis. 😂 Eldigloss, get behind me!
It’s fine to exists but it’s not a high tier 😆 I’m arguing the tier placement
Like Soul, I love gen 8, so you were set up from the jump to be the bad guy 😆. You tried your best but I've gotta give it to Lumi's "how heavy do you think an onion is?!?" Always a good time with y'all.
Grapploct is S tier for me. Literally one of my favourite Pokémon ever
SoulSilverArt said word for word why I love Inteleon. Its idle is a bit offputting but it looks so much better in action, showing off all the gadgets around its body. I don't care if everyone hates this thing, it's my favourite Pokemon and imma defend it till the end.
Also, a clarification on its tail "knife": it doesn't appear in SwSh at all for some reason, but it does in Scarlet/Violet. It can be seen in the Synchro Mode, by spamming the attack button until you get the "rare" animation, and also as the default physical attack animation while swimming.
The literal horse with ice on it being S tier was shocking to me to say the least😂
Bruh "Raboot looks like he got a jacket from the GAP" had me laughing at the gym. The Cinderace hate is blasphemous 😂 I got a shiny one and it's my best fricken friend. Actually all of the Gen 8 starters are on my main team along with Corviknight, Grapploct and Toxtricity. However never change Lumi 😂
Dusty said he doesn’t care about the concepts but later talks about how the concepts are important???? Help!!!
Dusty seemed to want to fight in this one
"The Glimwood Tangle 24hour live stream has room for improvement but..." The Wildest Lumiosepost statement of 2024! lol
(I do agree with it though... it's just... if the Glimwood Tangle was an actual Maze 😭, or even better, an explorable Wild Area, maybe even with it's own mini-pokedex... that would have been an Amazing teaser!

I'm also not going to lie, as many problems as I have with the actual game, the Pokemon aren't one of those, neither is the advertising. The advertising is great, the original music they produced should have been in the game. I also have quite a few favorite pokemon from this generation, and I like Gigantamax enough.

Dusty drinking a giant jar of pink lemonade
It was a caffeine supplement ⚡️
@@DustyGogoatgfuel or something? I might try lions mane for energy I keep seeing ads and caffeine doesn’t help 😢
Sobble Squad forever!!! 😭
Drizzile is an amazing emo mid evo 😄 Love my secret spy, Charlie’s angel, James Bond lizard Inteleon also 😎
The Scorbunny hate is gross.
Of all of their wild takes, you couldn't get past Scorbunny? Lol
@@redkingdom15it was my last straw >:(
Justice for Eldegoss! I love my Afro flower lady 🥲
Loved dusty coming at some of these so much lol
Great episode! Thanks for investing so much time on this region, had me laughing throughout the entire run time 🔥
I loved swsh!! I remember being addicted to raids and the whole online thing with bad egg duplication items and shiny raids???? Man it was so hype
In meouth’s defence the hair looking like one solid piece makes sense because it’s supposed to be matted fur look up what matted hair looks like. And because the hair is supposedly hardened as well that’s what gives it it’s steel typing The hair on his head becomes even harder and that’s what makes the helmet of its evolution.
Justice for Polteageist bruh 😭😭😭
I leave to live my day out, I come back, AND THEY’RE STILL ARGUING! Love
Im ngl the clothes dont look like real clothes but they do at the same time on raboot but personaly i think thats what makes him look even cooler
Boltund's tail turns into a lightning bolt when it attacks in game! All the spikey elements are on attack! The resting pose doesn't show that. Also, the goofball element is a good thing, even if it's not your thing.
We need an episode with a pokeball tier list and a deep dive on all of them
About the more “humanoid” Pokémon, it could be like how the Pokémon are inspired by real world stuff, in universe the inverse could be possible. For example maybe Kiss exist in the Pokémon universe and they took their inspiration from the Obstagoon line
Ooooh I like this!
Another comment, Calyrex turns blue/purple because chakra colors embodies the crown chakra, which symbolizes higher consciousness.
hidden power fans eating good with the 4 hour episode
this is about to be the best 4 hours of my life
Cinderace is awesome is over hated
I love the animation for pyro ball
Finally, discord and chaos! Love waking up to the bois arguing over designs with a cuppa ☕️🧐
Since this is pretty much the last one until gen 10, maybe ranking other things like regional forms or pokeballs or gmaxes as you said it's the start so I haven't seen.
even when i disagree with yalls takes, i feel like you guys are super smart and always provide good reasoning that opens up my perspective on mons who i genuinely hated at first sight
The audacitea of y’all to do that to my main Sinistea
ranking the hisuian forms probably makes sense for a secret power early release
Glimwood Tangle is peak! can confirm
OMGGG HATTERENE LINE IN A I'M SO HAPPYYY. I thought you guys were gonna pull the "it's too girly card"
Really nice to hear you guys say nice things about gen8, it gets a lot of unnecessary hate
What do y'all think about putting the tiers in order from left to right as the math plays out? It will lead to more discussion about which Pokemon are better inside the tiers and we can see which are high B's and low b's
Now I need Lumi to use a Zamazenta named Raw Meat on his battle channel
At least one of us guys should be rocking ur own merchandise at least every video to help promote it

My head canon for the galar birds types is moltress is burning with hatred, zapdos is a lightning fast fighter and articuno is cold and calculated
It’s about time Thwackey got some deserved respect 😎 great episode overall guys
rookidee is the best regional bird line. Every stage is so good
47:04 SOUL I LOVE YOU! Standing on business 😎
I just wanna say I love boltund because it looks like my dog none of the other dog pokemon look like a regular dog and that's what I love about it, I agree with making it normal/electric tho
Sir’fetched was saved! I can sleep peacefully 😭
I agree! Raboot looks like it has a hoodie. I dislike too. It looks like a Digimon. But I hate when they have clothes too
I picked my baby Sobby 😊 I always tend to lean towards water types. (Minus a few gens) I tends to pick too based off the cuteness of the base form.
Dusty’s orbeetle slander is insane. I’m with you soul 😭
Oh god I’ve been slowly watching and D ranked sirfetch’d? Dusty must be stopped 😭
Hatterene is just a small fairy inside afaik
the actual hatterene
Finally, it has come!!! The final frontier lol
I like gossifleur but im not a fan of eldegoss and I wish more people knew this but flabebe lines based on nymphs fairies that typically take on the appearance of plants and are able to harness the energy of nature hence the fairy typing instead of grass
Four hour video let’s goooo!!!
I went into sword and shield blind on the starter evolutions, picked grass like I normally do, got to rillaboom and deleted my save after seeing him. Then I picked sobble and never looked back. Inteleon is the best starter from gen 8. If rillaboom didn't have the drum set he would prob be my favorite but the drum set just ruins it for me.
02:55:16 I understood that reference Dusty 😂
2:46:35 for real did they even give us a HINT how to evolve that thing in the game??
If Impadimp and Toxel line isn't ranked high. I'll be so sad
I was so excited to hear your opinions on Drakloak and Dragapult :( sad times
I think they just hate on them because they are really popular, this came up a lot in this video. I guarantee if most people hated them Soul would love it, he’s too much of a hipster
2:25:08 gotta give GF their flowers for how dang political galarian corsola was. Cause the great barrier reef was in critical condition at the time.
2:26:00 Man I love Galarian corsola so much It was my first shiny hunt in swsh
How dare you lumi put Raboot in C tier 😕
Idk how I feel about gen 8 I sorta loved it but the sheer disappointment I felt about some of it really soured my experience the Pokédex cut was disappointing but never bothered me that much. For me it was the performance, the starters and the reused animations trying to trade with friends could be a nightmare and the more difficult raids was impossible to get into due to gatekeeping
Why is Cinderace so low? That Pokemon is awesome and it's a pretty cool concept.
My first starter was Grookey. Named him Grooks
So I’m on the Inteleon part and I haven’t watched it all yet but I want give my S tier. Inteleon, Yamper, Boltund, Corviknight, Dragapult, Zamazenta, Zacian, Galarian Moltres, Galarian Ponyta, Galarian Rapidash, Hisuian Samurott, Hisuian Zoroark (idk if y’all did the hisuian ones lol).
2:38:42 also why did G Stunfisk get a grass type signature move??
Sinistea in F???
Can’t wait for 3 hours of “it looks too human, F tier.” 😂
I agree that Brand New World is a great trailer. But the Sun and Moon announcement trailer is the best in my mind forever
Galarian Rapidash should definitely get a Mega somewhere down the line
Stunfisk-G is an F tier to me because of the sole reason it's existence made me agree with the Dexit crowd. I was using Stunfisk as a way to make fun of the people complaining about Dexit by saying "Boo hoo, I can't have my Stunfisk in the game to use in competitive anymore!

If I couldn't have my Skitty, at least this thing didn't exist in here either, but here it is and now I agree with Dexit crowd.
Ah yes, gotta love gen 8 , my favorite part is "Pokemon! Gotta catch some of em..."
Let’s goooo boys. Loving these vids
Polteagiest in F tier makes me want to cry 😭 because in my opinion Sinistea and Polteagiest are top teir Galar Pokemon
It took me two days to finish this video lol
Tell what you may
Alola and galar dex are very good
I'm here to defend the ENTIRE Dottler line. And yes I call it the Dottler line because Dottler is one of the greatest Pokemon ever designed. Shame! Shame on you all!
I love this but hurts seeing the best ones get the lowest tiers. Yall hype it up but the worst one gets the higher tier and the best….. it hurts. Boltund 😢 Cinderace 😖
I got a shiny galarian yamask while watching this! I evolved it into shiny "galarian cofagrigus" 2:44:16
Appletun is my favorite gen 8 mon, better not see any slander towards my boi on this list😂
My biggest complaints for the starters is how incomplete Inteleon and Cinderace look compared to their mid stage evolutions.
And Rillaboom for some reason doesn't get Gorilla Tactics in the SAME generation it was introduced!
I think SWSH are the biggest offenders of untapped or wasted potential. More than anything, we should’ve gotten sequels or a third version to fully expand on the lore and Pokemon of the region. I’m still hopeful one day we can revisit it, I still enjoyed it but man we missed out hard on what could’ve been 😩
Eiscue is one of the only Pokemon that makes me mad when I look at it. lol
Hot take two out of three of these starters have the best mid stages
So when yall done?😊
Holy Rolycoly, it irks me a lot seeing many of my favourites/high tiers from this gen so low (Scorbunny, Rookidee, Dottler, Obstagoon, Copperajah, Drakloak) while the actual stinkers be ranked higher (Chewtle, Stonjourner, Coalossal, Drizzile) than them. Like I won't judge y'all for not putting Orbeetle & Articuno in S, cuz not everybody's gonna have the same unadulterated love for them as me, but Slowpoke above Cinderace???
thanks for watching! No hard feelings :P
Saw the video with truegreen7 before this and he explained about rillabooms drum and they just completely forgot smh
Serious Question: if you eat an Appletun, since it's an Apple.... Is it still vegan?
🤯
Hyped!!
Corviknight was ruined for me because in the Pokémon world is just used as a taxi service
Inteleon as gmax, his shiny, his lore with the hidden guns and stuff. He is cool, just not well animated in games. Play him in Unite, it’s cool
Idk how, but yall made me a fan of Boltund with the exaggerated amount of hate for it. It's probably the most well done domesticated dog Pokémon to date. (Arcanine is still the bestest good boy)
Wooloo is S for me female indeedee also, I was devastated to see it in c below the male as the male is incredibly unpopular but anyways male is butler female is nanny and they are based on brownies not satyrs
There is no way cinderace is F tier better than so many pokemon better than conkeldurr
Is it just me or does Dusty always seem to put his thoughts and opinion's above everyone else's? Not just this video, but since I started watching, I've noticed he's not afraid to talk over the other two and talk about his own opinions as facts the rest of the group agree with. Maybe the other two don't fight back enough.
Lumi with the W take on raboot
Still salty Ash never got a Corviknight in the anime
