Niche Pokemon In Pure Hackmons

- When anything is allowed, broken strategies emerge, and broken strategies can sometimes be countered by using really bad stuff.
Mind you, that stuff is bad for a reason, so mostly everything mentioned in this video is nigh useless. But its still funny to see.
Huge thanks to Sheeplol for making this video possible!

can swadloon beat goku
Yes
Yes
Yes
Swadloon usually beats Goku, however I've heard some players run Dragon Ascent on Goku to counter Swadloon.
Yes
and when everyone is super, no one will bee
Bee?
I love it. I love the incredibles reference.
@@AdminAbuse Quit it
That’s what makes hackmons so fun
That’s a dumb quote. When everyone is superpowered everyone is superpowered. Jusr because everyone can prankster destiny home or no guard sheer cold doesn’t mean they can’t do those things
Probably my favourite meme set in pure hackmons was sturdy regi eleki because of the amount of no guard regieleki which you were immune to the sheer cold and then just firing one back
As one of the 6 Pure Hackmons enjoyers, I approve of this video
Listen, I'm just glad that Swadloon is getting this win. Genuinely one of my favorite Pokémon in terms of design. Little bug in a leaf blanket, what's not to love?
You love to see the lil' goofy bug beating up forces of nature in its spare time!
As a gen 5 boi: leavanny line best line
Smol bug
Somft blankie boi
Bug waifu
Little bug in a lead blanket with the most grumpiest little face you've ever seen. There is no option _except_ to love.
@@lasercraft32 yey ^w^
i love seeing the pokemon doing their idle animations in the middle of fields and forests its so cute, wonderful job
Parasect was used in gen 4 Ubers as a dry skin user to check kyogre
Yeah but that's normal Ubers. This is Hackmons!
Some random Bug-Grass Type on its way to stop one of the gen 3 legendary's from destroying a tier:
Well it's very niche and shit but yes it is technically viable in gen4 Ubers
@@blip_existsIt can also be a check to Groudon and Bug stab is quite good in Ubers(Darkrai,Latis,Metwto etc.)
I experipented with cloud nine golduck with ice beam, scald, and focus sash to check primal groudon and mega ray back in gen 7 AG
Always a good Blip video when you see Swadloon, the bug pokemon I know best as having higher attack and HP than Onix, but is also slower than that same Onix.
poor onix
@@blip_exists truly the most weird pokemon from a stats perspective
@@guimon78I think the most plausible theory I have heard about onix is that it was exclusively designed as a boss fight
Can I just say
The shadows on the models is INSANE
Its such a simple detail but I LOVE IT
I love seeing the backgrounds! The pokemon in real life locations is very visually appealing, alongside the interesting content.
Love that Primal Groudon is the only thing that seems relatively """normal""" and it's only "pretty good"
Primal Groudon's Bizarre Adventure
1:40 YOU TAKE THAT BACK SWADLOON IS MY BABY AND THE BEST BUG!!!
Its the best at being a cute lil' fellow, but the worst at doing much else 😔
Cool vid! Nice to see that Mega Aerodactyl did not get mentioned 💪That thing falling off so hard it's not even considered niche in terms of viability is pretty funny. Thing used to be S rank too
Aerodactyl was orignally part of the video (As was Rotom Fan) but aero had to be cut, as it took up wayyyy to much screen time. But a solo aero video is a sure possibility.
@@blip_existsI’d be interested in that
There is a Bug/Grass niche in Gen 4 Ubers: Dry Skin Parasect. It slurps up Specs Kyogre's STAB and forces it to switch out, lest it get Spored or humiliatingly killed. Unfortunately if Kyogre isn't using a Choice item or is locked into a non-Water move, Parasect is screwed, which is why it's just a niche.
If Swadloon is viable that means I can sacrifice bulk and attack and speed and usability and use my favorite mon Sewaddle and technically be using a niche pokemon instead of complete trash. If you squint at least
You might need a blindfold instead of just squinting for it to look viable lol
my fav mon (swadloon) being able to counter groudon makes me happy, thank you :)
Same except with Leavanny
It doesn't counter groudon. It counters groadon. Didn't you listen to the video?
what i remember is that the bug grass typing quad resists ground stab and in the meta of hackmons it receiving makes it immune to fire, thus shutting down P-groudon's 2 STABs@@shattermelon496 im just going to assume this is about an intentional mispronunciation in the video i saw 2 or so days ago and that your joke fell completely flat. honestly i dont care enough and having my fav grumpy cozy mon having a small claim in a competitive tier made me happy
"Nah, id win" -swadloon
I think its extremely funny that gen 6 pure hackmons is still played only because of the weaker central mons...
...When the central mons are no guard sheer cold deoxys, endeavor sturdy shedinja, and mage rayquaza.
And wonder guard.
And lot of wonder guard.
i think i know why he took so long... that editing is fabulous
Thank you!
Incredible work with your graphics! Very stylistic, high quality, and consistent :)
i love this style of editing
Very high quality video. I love showdown videos about other formats.
Some fancy looking stock footage in the background is very cool. Gourgeist was chilling :)
Hey blip, this was a very interesting video and the editing really adds a lot. Well done!
I love your editing style
I really liked the editing, and now I’m way to interested in hack mons :)
Thanks, and glad to hear you're enjoying hackmons!
my life is simple,
I see swadloon, I click
Also speaking of Hackmons: fur coat mega Aggron (people do be gangsta until this thing double cotton guard and sweeps with body press(and btw use smth like aqua tail for ghost and fire types))
i love this video’s visuals!! they remind me a lot of adult swim bumpers
Electro ball transistor flutter mane
Well I can say for sure this thumbnail caught me off guard
Like looking in a mirror, I presume
Off your Wonder Guard, I presume
Primal Groudon sitting on Swadloon sent me into a fit of laughter I could not have anticipated
Thank you
My favourite balanced hackmons set was a level 1 mega alakazam, with prankster, spikey shield, taunt, encore and destiny bond. It existed solely to be a hard counter to setup sweepers that dont use priority. And sturdy shedinja.
If i were to make the set again nowadays, i would use hisuian zoroark for immunities to e-speed and shadow sneak
I made a couple hackmon to experiment with in our games on the handhelds in college; and I got really into Eviolite Type Null. I use it in normal games too but in hackmon I could give it setup and recovery moves to make it into a real powerful bulky sweeper. I was the only one with hacked pokemon though so I was not up against the terrors of the real hackmon threats.
Great video, but special shoutout to the "Hidden village" from Twilight Princess ost on the background, underated song
It is such a fire song 🔥
As a huge Leavanny fan, seeing it actually doing something makes me really happy :]
You have no idea how happy I am that my favorite Pokémon (Leavanny) finally got a W in its life
Yoooo I remember when you asked me for requests for this vid in discord. Good shit!
I’m so happy that my favorite Pokémon can beat a primal groudon ❤
Fantastic video
Hear me out. Sturdy Shedinja
Ehhhh, there's a suprising amount of stuff that can KO it if I remember correctly. People already plan for Wonder Guard Normal types, so something that instantly dies to hazards and status isn't as great as you would think
Shout outs to eisecue in gen 8 PH, since Ice Face is one of the few abilities that doesnt get negated by ngas, which means it can tank every OHKO move in the game. A
Also Cramorant with a pikachu on its mouth, who also has one of the few abilities not negated by Ngas, its immune to fissure, and it can force paralysis + 25% damage to everything with gulp missile. this niche in fact also got it banned from Balanced Hackmons!
I remember over a decade ago I was top of the Hackmons format in I think Gen 5.
My one and only crowning Pokemon achievement.
Swadloon also one very important quality: it's very cozy.
The competitive use for bug grass typing is parasect in Ubers with Dry Skin, I think starting in gen 3 but I mostly played gen 4 and 5.
BREAKING NEWS: God of the land is bullied to death by a tamale.
“Same thing happened to me with that fucking shed bug skin!”-Kyogre, god of the sea, who has been Groudon’s sworn enemy for the last 4 billion years.
“primal grodon”
Primal Gordon
Gordon's alive!
Not the worst pronunciation I've heard ngl, that would go to "grue-don"
holy shit, the "realistic editing" is insanely good.
Damn I never knew my favourite evo line contained god, gotta love the sewaddle line
Really cool video
Swadloon getting the respect it deserves
The rare "hate, comment and surprise" combo
I knew my love of the leavanny line wasn't completely stupid :D
You and me both
First ten seconds hit hard.
"what if we just took thing, and went full bullshit with it" is maybe my single favorite genre of youtube video
Real
@@blip_exists (REAL) !!!
Like the editing
That pumpkin patch looks lovely
as a gen 7 hack mon main, evo boost adaptability sunsteel strike mega lucario
Finally, some Swadloon representation.
Shedinja with sturdy
Looses to moldbreaker and neutralizing gas.
omg swadloon is one of my two favorite pokemon, I'm so proud of it
Sturdy whynaut with shell bell. :)
This is the second time a funny bad pokemon has found a niche just because it counters Proudon
(VGC 2016 - Cloud Nine Psyduck OHKOs almost all sets of Proudon, although Golduck is better)
"Pure Hackmons is a dumb format"
Me: 😔
im sure the current gen pure hackmons metagame is a very cool metagame
@@sheeplol2161 SMH
Its dumb in the best ways possible
@@blip_exists I'll take that response!
No rational human can claim that pure hackmons is not dumb
gen5 hackmons must be wild
imagine three Majins all retaining their wonder guard just unable to be countered
Also, Gen 5 Sleep being stupid, making it even worse!
Pure Hackmons is the format I use on Showdown to make the silliest things that would otherwise be impossible... like a team of bootleg legendary Pokemon like Magikarp with Origin Pulse and Primordial Sea.
I always just end up losing though... People are no fun and just use OP pokemon all the time.😔
gen 6/7 ph articuno with bounce goes crazy
Love the shadow effect on Gourgeist, how'd you do it?
I created two instances of the Gourgiest, removed all colour from one, then rotated it along multiple axes, until it created a somewhat realistic shadow effect.
Huge upcoming poketuber
Hope so!
Honestly I had an entirely funny set in Gen 7 pure hackmons that involved Huge Power Golisopod and No Guard Mega Glalie
mega glalie had all the ohko moves and golisopod just had monstrous attack
Blip is back 👏
Can't wait to take my next month long break from content creation!
YEEEEEEAH GOURGEIST MENTION LETS GOOOO
LETS GO GOURGEIST
He did I just learn that gourgeist size affects its stats
as a leavanny line enjoyer im glad they were good somewhere
Ah yes, Growdon
Do you have a link to the Electrode video you referenced?
I think its this one? ua-cam.com/video/wkEbQuf2aB0/v-deo.html
LETS GO SWADLOON MY FAV POKEMON LETS GOOOOO
Swadloon is my favorite... aside from leavanny when it comes to bug grass
Reminds me of numel the klefki counter
9:12
I'm on mobile and when you said "consider giving it a like", the like buttons glew rainbow !
good job, could you cover BH?
Maybe? I have a couple other videos planned, but I'll see what I could talk about with BH.
sturdy shedinja
Sturdy Shedinja is niche in some gens, but nothing more than that? Suffers from how common mold breaker and such are.
@@blip_existstrue, but still fun to troll with
@@andrewhe3949 fair 'nuf
Swadloon is my 2nd fave mon so I had to tap in… you can probably guess my 1st fave
I would run a full meme team off weak mons with god like utility
Question, how would an Elektross with Wonder Guard and an Air Balloon item be? Gen 7 and before as the strategy sorta falls apart with Neutralizing Gas. Idk how Hackmon meta works, so that's why I'm asking
a lot of people run moldbreaker/teravolt/turboblaze
@@krayvalorant is my theory correct then? Elektross you can't hit. Wonder Guard, so you can only be hit by ground moves, then Air Balloon so you are in the air so ground moves can't hit you (Give or take moves like Gravity but who runs Gravity)
@@randomkid4783 those abilities i listed ignore the other pokemons abilities, so they would essentially bypass wonderguard and still hit you!
@@randomkid4783 As krayvalorant was saying, ability bypassing abilities are common, and in even in gen 7, there is a subset of moves that ignores abilities called moldy moves. Its overall very niche, and often outclassed by wonderguard cores.
@@blip_exists so you're saying that, while there are ways around it. It's still niche and the hypothesis (probably used somewhere) is theoretically really strong and an ALMOST impossible wall to get through.
Looks at me using big words lol
0:27 every theoretical combination that is, PLUS eternamax eternatus, which is unobtainable without modifying the game (and at that point why not just give every mon 255 in every stat while you're at it...) and shouldn't be allowed in any of the hackmons tiers - they should be limited to what you can make by editing your save file, and that's what they claim, but save edits cannot get you Eternamax.
It can...kinda get you eternamax. I think it may be more that something like Pkhex doesn't support it, but there are ways to edit Pkhex to allow you get Eternamax (I believe the current method involves catching it from changing raid pokemon). I think its moreso decided by what you can obtain in game that can still battle agaisnt someone who does not have an edited game.
Tiny correction for players of newer generations: Sewaddle's line isn't available in the first route, it takes 2 gyms to get them (this doesn't change how funny it is to be that good)
Honestly, that’s even funnier
That groudon loli was adorable
Why baton pass + sub when you can do both with shed tail? (Assuming no other stat buffs)
Also wheres doubleshock wonderguard electrode :v
Probably because shed tail wasn't out at the time.
Also, doubleshock wonderguard has the same issue as a lot of other such strategies, in that mold breaker can get around it.
double shock/burn up wonder guards arent very good because theyre vulnerable to neutralizing gas/mold breaker like other wonder guards, you would rather use a different wonder guard like audino whos more suited to take on neutralizing gas/mold breaker users
i love swadloon but if the only advantage it has is being funnier idk if that should really count it over leavanny
I think Swadloon has higher defenses with eviolite, but those higher defenses aren't super important? But it is something.
@@blip_exists aight fair point actually ngl
Curious, why run primordial sea over well-baked body?
Two reasons:
This was in geneations before that ability was introduced.
Also, Groudon often ran mold breaker, which would get past well-baked body, but not primordial sea.
I enjoy going on gen 6 pure hackmons and annoying people with my 3 shedninjas, 2 deoxys and a wobbuffet. The strat is not great but is fun to play.
Bro what if pawmot uses doubleshock while having wonder guard
Can it be viable
Stuff like that can also happen with mono-fire types using Burn-Up. Its niche, but not fully unusuable? The issue is, its liable to being outsped, can be blocked by wonder guard, and can be sidestepped with moldbreaker. Most wonderguard cores can cover all type weaknesses anyways, so having doubleshock wonderguard is often redundant.
Where did you get this tierlist
All viability rankings should be here:www.smogon.com/forums/threads/old-gen-hackmons-megathread.3649618/page-16#post-9755815
This Megathread also contains a lot of information scattered about.
what happens if you give wonder guard, air balloon and substitute to an electrode? this sounds pretty hard to deal with
It sounds that way until your opponent sends out a mold breaker pokemon, or in later gens, a pokemon with a moldy move.
@@blip_exists right forgot about that one
Was gen 1 electrode never a sweeper? Cause the whole speed=crit rate thing?
if alternating between seismic toss/night shade and spore is sweeping then it is
In Pure Hackmons it was kinda a sweeper?
However, in OU proper, even though electrode is fast and has a super high crit rate, it suffers from having one usable move, and has a lot of competition with Zapdos, with Zapdos being a great Pokemon. The main difference is, that Zapdos can switch into things, and can deal with Exeggutor, while Electrode reallly doesnt do much. At least thats what I presume with my pretty minimal gen 1 knowledge. Both also get absolutely walled by the Rocks.
Also, forgor bout this, but Jolteon exists. Jolteon is just a bit slower, but has much better stats overall, and hits harder, as well as not loosing out with the lower speed, as the only pokemon with the same/equal speed or aerodactyl and electrode, neither of which are common or can do much to Jolteon. Also, Jolteon has an actual movepool.
@@blip_exists i know OU, I was just curious about hackmons.
@@SeventhGod77 In hackmons...it wasn't really a category thats seen anywhere else. Its a wincon, a support pokemon, and a sweeper all at once.
Groo-don lol
DITTO YES
1:24 "growdon" 💀
