16:45 I'm Joseph :) I chose Virizion over kartana for a few reasons. Having stone edge for Charizard, volcarona, and Zapdos was valuable, and scope lens meant leaf blade and stone edge would crit 50% of the time. It was meant to counter teams commonly used by the Californian players, sun and rain
@TheOtherNeutrino I might be in the minority, but I land a lot more Stone Edges than I probably should. In fact, I'd be as bold to say that I've missed more Play Roughs than Stone Edges. Those accuracies should be swapped 😂😂
The Pokemon keeps going down in the tiers until it reaches one it completely melts and then it's stuck in BL or in the awkward spot of too bad for its tier but too strong for the one below.
Outspeeding many fire types like Charizard Y and knocking them out with Stone Edge is such an amazing feeling. Same with Durant, but overall, Virizion was much more consistent until Clefable became more relevant.
I like how they were given the chance to make a cool future robot version of Virizion in SV but they still felt the need to make it look like the robot was wearing shoes
The Paradox inclusions now have me thinking, how FORESHADOWING was DONPHAN actually!?? Donphan being one of your first videos also deserves a remake too, Donphan has been a surprisingly understated goat for several generations with its occasional ventures into OU being a product of its more primal ancestors dormant DNA
When Iron leaves was a raid boss, it had E terrain set up. I wish the paradox Pokémon had a damaging move that also sets up either sunny day or eterrain
Even just a better E terrain setter might make it viable again. Pincurchin just doesnt do enough for anyone to use it. If Tapu Koko comes back into Scarlet and Violet, Paradox mons are going to have a field day.
@@iplayonatoaster5406I remember one time a made an ou team of pincurchin and five future paradox Mons and it worked better than I expected. Everything was really fast and hit pretty hard
You forgot to mention how Virizion came in 2nd at worlds in 2013 with Fuko Nakamichi vs Brendan Zheng. It didn't come into the battle but the weavile that she had on the team had beat up making it likely it was the beat up strategy to raise the attack of Virizion. That's one thing I think was needed to be talked about. Other than that it was cool seeing you talk about iron leaves too!
I'm expecting the Salamence remake to include it's prehistoric form in Roaring Moon. Same goes for Volcarona and it's two Paradox forms in Slither Wing & Iron Moth.
@@lessgochamp646 nah, Heavy Duty Boots were kinda needed, considering how freaking common and determental Rocks, Spikes, T-Spikes and Web were to opposing teams. It shut down so many mons for free which kinda sucked lol
@@camillalapolentona84480Better than Iron Leaves which doesn’t even sound legendary or special at all. A name like that could apply to pretty much any other Grass type Pokémon. Something like Iron Xylem would’ve been cooler
It would've been really cool to see iron leaves get an electric grass typing. It doesn't get that nasty 4x weakness to u turn and with coverage could be a great sweeper
Something tells me Paradox Entei will be a triceratops or a T-Rex. Wonder what its signature move will be: Walking Wake gets a Water-move that gets a power boost in Sun AND Rain, Raging Bolt gets Electric-Type Sucker Punch, so we'll eventually see what this signature Fire move will be...
idea for a new theorem video: "the Ash Ketcham theorem: why "skill" is not only limited in teambuilding and understsanding of the mechanics". reading your opponent and predicting possible outcomes matters too. most of the top players in "random battles" are the same players in the other regular formats. and random battles is a format where the players are given zero control on team building.
7:45 I'm Blake. I was really young when I made this team so I just put cool and strong pokemon into and placed well lol, also the gliscor was a full odds shiny named "legit". I didnt even know about natures, IVs or EVs.
I really liked using Virizion in Gen 5 OU. Yeah it was UU but had great special bulk and good HP and GREAT speed tier meaning it could set up SS with no problem. Its type combination was good enough at helping stave off the common rain teams you see so much both offensively and defensively and paired real nice with leftovers. In my opinion, a fairly underrated grass type
Imagine False Swipe drop the following in October: "We will only release one video this month , at the end of October.See you then!" My guess would be "Rotom is coming"
I remember one of my favorite poketuber said back in the day using a special set of virizion vs heatran: i have a useless stab and the other is giga drain (referring to focus blast)
I love Virizion and Cobalion as a casual player. They have amazing designs and interesting backgrounds. They have consistently been among my favorite Pokémon since their release. Iron Leaves is just as incredible, along with Iron Crown, and they are all tied with being my favorite future paradox Pokémon with Iron Valiant. Seeing their impact, no matter the size, into the competitive scene is fascinating. You're the only Pokémon UA-camr I watch. You're videos are great to watch and let me glimpse at a world of Pokémon I am not a part of. Seeing my favorite Pokémon featured in your episodes always brings a smile to my face.
Man I used this a lot with AV in the gen 8 unrestricted format with beat up and tailwind support. After maxing it took hardly anything from Kyogre's Ice Beam and threatened both it and Groudon. And it left both unrestricted slots open. So many people would be caught off guard by it, guess people didn't know what to expect from it as an offensive threat? Sure it got slammed by a bunch *cough* Zacian but what didn't? Was funny to ruin people who'd spam the weather duo though.
It's so wild to me that when talking about Gen 9 RU getting massacred by Iron Leaves you showed Tyranitar getting beaten down by Close Combat. It's wild that an OU titan fell so far.
7:48 Hey, That's me! I don't actually play anymore, although I still occasionally watch matches and other stuff related to VGC (including this channel, lol). I generally get a little embarrassed when looking back at some of my old teams and performances, because I was definitely worse at the game back then, so some of my stuff was kinda cringe. I often put off watching certain vids on the channel if I expect that I'll be mentioned, so I think I need to work on my anxiety... At the time, I'm pretty sure Virizion was mainly around because it matched up well against most rain cores with its high Sp.Def and Grass tying, but outside of that, it really didn't do much special. As a complete side-note my name has changed since those 2013 tournaments, so I now much prefer to call myself Rina Nishino. I've occasionally thought of getting back into VGC under my new name and country, especially with last year's worlds being held in Japan, but I'm not as closely connected with the VGC community now as I used to be, so it's sometimes difficult to justify when I don't have too many friends to share the experience with.
I think FSG should do a video of all the paradox pokemon that wont be said in videos bc they've all been put in a video alr (E.g Delibird already has a vid)
It's Pokedex entries mentions that it has quick movements. Justified is nice and all but maybe we could give it an ability that matches the description like Quick Feet or even Speed Boost.
Personally, I think Iron Leaves shouldn't have been in this video. Paradox Pokémon aren't forms of existing Pokémon they just resemble the existing one. I wouldn't expect Tentacruel and Toedscruel to share a video for the same reason
The best part of future paradox pokemon is that they're just waiting for tapu koko to arrive. The second that thing drops you best believe iron leaves is back in ou
But how would that relate to Charizard? Charizard's gimmicks have been extremely successful, with Mega X being top tier in singles, Mega Y being very good on both singles and doubles, and Gigantamax being a top tier VGC threat on multiple formats (including the one with resstricted legendaries allowed)
If anything the charizard theorem would be a showcase of the strength of pokemon who can use each generation's gimmicks rather than a proof against it. you'd need a pokemon who never used gems, never had a mega evo, never used z moves and never gigatimaxed.
It would be the opposite, how gimmicks are everything. Both of Charizard's Mega forms were extremely successful in singles, its Y form was defining in doubles, it utilized Z-moves pretty decently from what I understand, its GMax form was very successful in VGC, and from what I understand it's also using Tera pretty successfully
LEAVES was absolutely insane in UU even tho it wasnt there by usage in post-home, and still continues to excel on electric terrain teams, especially with lucha to escape first imoression
It's low usage is contributed to it being an event only pokemon, and similarly, the same case applies for Walking Wake. Virizion is just weak as a defensive profile cause a single flying tera blast would make it go down. Iron Leaves is just way too limited as it stands, and unless it is Fire or Flying Tera, it has physically no way to counter the prevalent bugs in the tier. With scald coming back, it's gonna struggle even more.
Vir-iz-i-on. That’s how I’ve always pronounced it, and I can’t/won’t stop now. Jokes aside, thank you for another video. I love these and listen to each of them dozens of times while I work. You really help me get through long days, thank you so very much for your content
The fact that both Breloom and Chesnaught generally outclassed Virizion in Gen 6 OU is a shame. I really love its design. Edit: changed “Virizuon” to the actual correct spelling.
Fun fact: Virizion was a meme ish mon in most of SS nu till sirfetchd and machamp were banned. It isnt the best non NU fighting type. That goes to gallade. But its still a good mon. cheesing through the water+steel cores that r quite common in NU is big advantage.
It think it's very funny how strange Virizion's movesets are, when you think about them. "Dropped fighting coverage for x-scisor or hidden power ice" is such a strange thing to hear
Coming soon would be Iron Crown as Coballion's Paradox form. Terrakion would likely be next anyway even if it doesn't get a Paradox form alongside Entei
i know this is such a niche remake but considering the paradox pokémon it would be cool to see a remake of misdreavous, mismagius, and now fluttermane 👀👀👀 just coming from the number one fan of them lmao
Wacky Buff ideas: Give it Nasty Plot (it looks so smug) Give it Aura sphere and Vaccum Wave too I guess? Give it grassy surge Give it Seed Flare How many tiers does it rise?
oh boy i can't wait for the inevitable hour long video for Terrakion on how GREAT he is in competitive scene bonus points if half of Terrakion's respective video length is him being amazing in Gen 5.
@@kelposo no, you're probably mistaking Keldeo since that's the gen 5 sword Legendary that FSG did first and/or his top 5 Pokemon the fell off in OU since Terrakion was in that video.
Well, yeah. The other two did. Why wouldn't it follow suit? It's not Gamefreak's style to leave one hanging, especially if they're part of a group. That's why Zamazenta got nerfed for example, even though he didn't do the things his sister did.
I suppose the coverage here proves the upcoming Tyranitar remake will be extra long. How about predicting its overall length and why you’ll think it’ll be that long? I predict Gen 2: 8 minutes Gen 3: 12 minutes Gen 4 (counting Ubers and VGC from here on out): 15 minutes Gen 5: 18 minutes Gen 6: 16 minutes Gen 7: 16 minutes Gen 8: 20 minutes Gen 9: 11 minutes That equates to almost 2 hours of video time if I’m right. Get ready for Endgame!

I chose Virizion over kartana for a few reasons. Having stone edge for Charizard, volcarona, and Zapdos was valuable, and scope lens meant leaf blade and stone edge would crit 50% of the time.

Vote for Pin. Also congrats to your placements m8
50% crit rate on 2 moves with such a good coverage together is insane
Technically, Stone Edge would crit 40% of the time when accounting for its infamous accuracy.
W team. Congratulations for your placements man ❤
@TheOtherNeutrino I might be in the minority, but I land a lot more Stone Edges than I probably should. In fact, I'd be as bold to say that I've missed more Play Roughs than Stone Edges. Those accuracies should be swapped 😂😂

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout cause I'm telling ya why
I feel like we'd need a Donphan remake more than Delibird. Donphan has two paradox forms, and its video is pretty outdated
Virizion really can’t escape a 4x weakness, even when it’s a robot.
it makes sense that the weakness of a robot is a bug
With the exception of Iron Crown, both Iron Leaves and Paradox Terrakion have a Bug weakness

It think it's very funny how strange Virizion's movesets are, when you think about them. "Dropped fighting coverage for x-scisor or hidden power ice" is such a strange thing to hear
My favorite of the gen 5 trio overall, and one of the best grass picks if you didn't pick a grass starter (I did but I didn't care I had 2 grass mons)
Sweet, wonder what a Duraludon one would look like now.
Coming soon would be Iron Crown as Coballion's Paradox form. Terrakion would likely be next anyway even if it doesn't get a Paradox form alongside Entei
i know this is such a niche remake but considering the paradox pokémon it would be cool to see a remake of misdreavous, mismagius, and now fluttermane 👀👀👀 just coming from the number one fan of them lmao
Wacky Buff ideas:
Give it Nasty Plot (it looks so smug)
Give it Aura sphere and Vaccum Wave too I guess?
Give it grassy surge
Give it Seed Flare
How many tiers does it rise?
Don't all the Swords of Justice get Aura Sphere in Gen 8? Or was that just Keldeo? Nasty Plot would be awesome though!
@@georgecortes3416 just keldeo for some reason
Straight to ubers
I don't think I'll ever get used to the official pronunciation. Ver-rise-e-an sounds so much worse than Ver-rizz-eon lol
Rizz. XD
honestly same... it sounds weird. Ver-rizz-ion / Vi-rizz-ion are what i am use to.
oh boy i can't wait for the inevitable hour long video for Terrakion on how GREAT he is in competitive scene
bonus points if half of Terrakion's respective video length is him being amazing in Gen 5.
Didnt they already do a Terrekion Video??
@@kelposo no, you're probably mistaking Keldeo since that's the gen 5 sword Legendary that FSG did first and/or his top 5 Pokemon the fell off in OU since Terrakion was in that video.
I wonder if Terrakion will also get a paradox form
Well, yeah. The other two did. Why wouldn't it follow suit? It's not Gamefreak's style to leave one hanging, especially if they're part of a group. That's why Zamazenta got nerfed for example, even though he didn't do the things his sister did.
I suppose the coverage here proves the upcoming Tyranitar remake will be extra long.
How about predicting its overall length and why you’ll think it’ll be that long? I predict
Gen 2: 8 minutes
Gen 3: 12 minutes
Gen 4 (counting Ubers and VGC from here on out): 15 minutes
Gen 5: 18 minutes
Gen 6: 16 minutes
Gen 7: 16 minutes
Gen 8: 20 minutes
Gen 9: 11 minutes
That equates to almost 2 hours of video time if I’m right. Get ready for Endgame!
loving my Quad Weakness: The Pokémon rn
Nice video man
Am I seeing things or is there a Fire Blast in Virizion's movset for Gen VIII at the 16:55 mark
