@@thatsabsurd6804 lol but honestly i love the fact that no other pokemon is dark/fairy type. The prankster ability is one of my favorite abilities. And he looks badass when you dynamax/gigantamax. His animations also remind me of venom, which i love the shit out of.
I was thinking that something that would have been cool is if each base stat were evenly divisible by 6. Nothing really significant, but it would have been a cool easter egg
I kinda wish there was a baby Pokémon of this called “Linx” that just had one of the smaller ones on its own. Maybe it could evolve by carrying a party of 6 Of them and have the lead one use a move like No Retreat
It should be 3 mini falinks stacked and then falinks dex entry should be that 2 Linx clans joined to create falinks, with the better leader being the leader of Falinks
Red9282 picture this though, each individual linx would have rather low stats, but when it evolves into one Falanks, it then accumulated all the base stats of each one (accounting for nature and training but not EVs because that’d be broken) and the lead one it evolves into would then pass down its nature, EVs, etc. that way it’s a long-term investment Pokémon, not just a basic unevolved one.
@Lee McDonald i would have also liked it be a fighting/bug or fighting dragon just because I dont think we have many bug fighting other than Heracross and the 2 Ultrabeasts and afaik no Fighting/Dragons
Falink leader: Dont retreat! we are strong! we may fall but our spirits will live forover fight till the end!! *The other 5 falinks let out a loud battle cry* *There they fought with all there might and won*
It disguises itself as a Bug type to fool Psychic, Ghost and Ground types. That way, it can be left alone by them. Exeggcute better step aside, Falinks is the new best 6-in-1 Pokemon.
The first time I saw Falink's image I didn't like it because I thought it was another Dunsparce but when I found out more about it and its real appearance I realized how cute it is.
Seeing Falinks in action, they're one of the cutest and coolest pokemon in sword and shield. Definitely the one you root for in a match because they're this plucky little troop that fights to the end. Not to mention, when they dynamax, them toppling over is pretty cute
How cool would it have been if it had an ability that divided its attacking moves by six instances? Like instead of Close Combat being a 120 base power move, it would be a 20 bp move that hits six times
@@thatchrisguy188 Yeah the Ability could potentially be broken. We already had Parental Bond which was abused with stat-boosting attacks moves. And Let's not talk about 6-fold Max Knuckle here...
@@Jaquan018 Give it power up punch, and you have an attack that comes with a free Belly Drum without the health drop... not broken at all. Slap a King's Rock on for good measure. A fun (if still crazy) balance could be that the effect also happens to incoming attacks.
@@Jaquan018 they could just have it roll secondary effects only once. That what you just ignore focus sash ect and have a decent chance for at least one of the hits to crit.
@@jjquinn295 Quite a lot of work for a gimmicky skill. We had a fair share of those already. Not a terrible idea but also not a great one. Doubt it would lead to solving any of Falinks issues.
Running No retreat on Falinks with defiant with a white herb is amazing. White herb is always amazing with defiant because defiant boosts attack when the Pokémon get its stats lowered but white herb cleans the Pokémon’s lowered stats back to normal so it is like a free stack boost.
When I first went about this route I mistook Falinks for a line of Dottler just walking around. They look vaguely similar, and with the psychic type I thought maybe dottler had some additional, hive mind lore that explained this. Needless to say when I walked into one I was both surprised and blown away with how awesome this Pokemon was and how the theme came through immediately. And then it used no retreat, which is such a dramatic move, I was so impressed that it left a lasting impression. I didn’t have any room to use the boy on either version of the game but I knew I’d be circling around to it when it came to breeding post game.
Big advantage to battle armor over defiant is that crits will bypass your def and sdef increases. That said, if you're minimizing shots taken, that may be unnecessary.
I'm happy you made this video he is easily in my top five favorite designs of Pokemon Sword and Shield He just needs support if trying to sweep it later as certain Pokemon like toxapex completely wall him. But that's why you have a team!
It's probably better that it isn't. It's already a rather unimpressive mon if you know it's coming. Most Physical Tanks bar Ferrothorn can simply wall it out. Heck Avalugg has decent chances of beating it if they both start from the same spot. And Shinotic basically keeps it grounded forever or worse two shots it with Moonblast. Even Vespiqueen which was Nerfed this generation by losing reliable heal can just wall it out. This guy got many issues if you can't safely set him up.
@@resurgingflame Probably butchered the name. I meant the Grass Fairy Shroom we got in Sun/Moon. More of a special defense tank, true but still durable enough to not only take on Falinks but even KO it with Moonblast on uninvested Special attack.
@@resurgingflame They learn a lot of Bug moves. They are a swarm. It makes a lot of sense but honestly I'm glad they're not. In other news since Falinks is fighting and bug they absolutely stomp Spikemouth
@@gabemox2941 Sableye, who takes normal instead of supereffective damage from throat chop and can survive long enough to either kill it or make its hp so low that it would almost be a waste to kill it with another Pokemon: you were saying?
Can Oranguru’s Instruct make Falinks use No Retreat twice? Just imagine: first, a Pokémon uses simple beam on Falinks to give it the Simple ability. Then, Oranguru comes in and when Falinks uses No Retreat, combined with Instruct, that’s plus 4 boost to every stat!
Finally someone shows this guy some love. Everyone was so hyped for fetch'd and g max Machamp. I went straight gen 8 my first playthrough with this guy and he WRECKED! the best part is paired on a BP team with Driftloon he's unstoppable
After encountering falinks for the first time; Thought it was a bug type: use rock slide (not very effective) Thought it was a fire type: use earthquake (and it deals neutral damage) Thought it was bug/fire type: use rock slide or stone edge for 4x damage (but it is not very effective instead) Turns out it is a fighting type, lol
Hmm that’s interesting, from what I’ve seen a 252 in speed with a +speed nature is pretty common for dragapult. After all, they don’t want to be outsped and one shot by a faster dragapult. Falinx is still amazing though
Mr. John Sir, BEST VIDEO EVER!! Your Video just deepens my love for Falinks even though I don't own a Nintendo Switch nor the games 😅 I absolutely Love how passionate you are about this pokemon and it's so incredibly cool. I appreciate you and all your hard work 👊
Wish this had a Gigantamax or an evolution where it gets bigger maybe turns roman gaining scutum shields (The giant rectangle ones) so a lot of defense and maybe a gladius or spear of some kind or just make the main horn bigger. (Could also maybe gain steel typing if an evolution)
If it were a Fighting/Steel then there'd be no purpose in having any other Pokémon since Falinks would have nothing it couldn't conquer xD But yeah, I'd prefer it to have the /Steel typing added on.
Having 6 Good Spartan Bois at once earned you a sub. Also, I got a sweep last night with this mon. Brought it out at the start of battle and 6-0'd my opponent. I felt bad, though, but it was epic.
Falinks @ Zoom Lens Ability: Battle Armor EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Brave Nature - Close Combat - Megahorn - Zen Headbutt - No Retreat Zoom Lens is there just so you can hit Megahorn 100% of the time after No Retreat.
@@knightmare4883 ikr! Maybe a form with weapons (swords, spears) has higher Attack, and forms with shields get higher Defense. Archers would get higher speed etc.
If Falinks had gotten an evolution I think that it would become a bigger and buffer version of Marvian the Martian from Looney tunes but it will keep it's Kirby characters eyes but now it will have 6 or 8 eyes looking angry at youand the shields their holding would become it's gear and it will hold two large sheilds and it's height will be 5'1 and it would either become fighting and steel or fighting and ground or rock

@@shybandit521 Got the shiny this morning, I got a few 6IV Falinks during the breeding but the Shiny only has 4IVs. Good thing I saved some Bottle caps!!
When I first saw this Pokemon in the leaks, I thought "This pokemon looks like the formation of shields used by the Greeks". Then I saw the name. I was so proud of myself of getting what this pokemon was based off immediately xD
I was baton passing from ninjask into falinks with endure and reversal. If they didn’t have priority moves or have sandstorm or hail on the field it swept
I think you over hyped him a bit but I started messing around with the one on the battle tower rental team and it has been pretty dang good and won me every battle so far
When I saw the leaked dex, I wasn't a big fan of Falinks but that was because I couldn't tell what it was supposed to be. Then I saw it in game and it rocketed to like my second or third favorite Pokemon (after Cinderace because Brigit was one hell of a striker) and fighting with centiskorch for the second place slot.
If you enjoyed this video make sure you check out the Falinks team I made for ranked battles! ua-cam.com/video/iqC7Htt6oB8/v-deo.html
Uses no retreat.
"i'm not stuck here with you. You're stuck here with me."
And then your opponent uses haze
Haze will have to assume im not gonna get a hit in first
You will have to assume it doesn’t pull out a counter
Just as long as the counter doesn't ko or anything it will be all good
M Shadows yes,but it if gets to one hp it will

Look at the li'l marchin' babs... I love ;em. I like their concept.
falinks is me and the boys at 3am lookin for *BEANS*
I gave my falinks a red card so i can get a no retreat so it can tank a hit then switch the opponent's pokemon and hopefully outspeed them
IMO, the special attack should be it's lowest stat and the Attack the highest. Also, the HP and special defense should be higher as well.
I want to see someone use simple beam/skill swap simple with falinks in doubles
John you look particularly dashing today! My favorite is between cinderace and dragapult, but falinks is top 5 for sure
My favorite Starter is Cinderace and my favorite Pokemon design is Zamazenta in this game.
This thing absolutely should have been part Bug. It's a literal hive mind!
But they aren't a hive mind, they just have REALLY good natural teamwork skills. Which is honestly more impressive.
They are based of spartans which had good coordination and teamwork back in the day

When I first saw this Pokemon in the leaks, I thought "This pokemon looks like the formation of shields used by the Greeks". Then I saw the name. I was so proud of myself of getting what this pokemon was based off immediately xD
I was baton passing from ninjask into falinks with endure and reversal. If they didn’t have priority moves or have sandstorm or hail on the field it swept
Their design is awesome but it'd be nice if their movement was a little more organic. When he turns its like rotating a stick
I usually call Falinks the Spartans when i saw them the first time, in fact I nickname my Falinks "Spartans"
I think you over hyped him a bit but I started messing around with the one on the battle tower rental team and it has been pretty dang good and won me every battle so far
Falinks is inspired by the Spartans (Possibly the 300 Spartans.)
Ancient Power: I have a chance to raise all stats.
No Retreat: Hold my Beer.
The first time ever I seen and read no retreat I said to my self "My God!".
Aight who else here thought this thing was bug type when they first saw it cause I sure did
It resisted my dark move and I was like what? Had a hard time figuring out what it was similar to Eelektross.
the same deal with Clobbopus and Grapploct, they look marine but they're fighting types.
Considering I caught mine with a Net Ball.... yeah I thought it was a Bug too
Thought it was a pure bug type which caused me to nearly kill it with spirit break
When I saw the leaked dex, I wasn't a big fan of Falinks but that was because I couldn't tell what it was supposed to be. Then I saw it in game and it rocketed to like my second or third favorite Pokemon (after Cinderace because Brigit was one hell of a striker) and fighting with centiskorch for the second place slot.
