In the manga, there was at least time when someone attacked their opponent's pokeballs to break them enough to stop the Pokemon inside from being used. I think it might have happened multiple times, but it definitely happened at least once. It's not quite the same thing, but it's pretty similar.
Wow, no Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX? That card was successful for almost 3 years in 3 very different formats. It was the sole reason every deck needed to have Mew or later Manaphy in play.
Im trying to make a "darkrai bench damage deck" and came to this video to see if there was another option for the deck. I'm glad to see i made the right pick.
I know it's too new, but I would have loved to see you talk about Dragapult EX. For a psychic and fire energy, it can deal 200 damage to the active and spread 6 damage counters across your opponent's bench. Also helping is its pre-evolution has an ability to grab one of the two cards from the top of your deck and the Lance supporter card grabbing 3 dragons for free making consistency a non-issue. The Dragapult EX deck I use is a slow burner, but once it gets set up it's hard to stop
Forgot to mention that Blizzard Burn can also be used fairly easily to take OHKOs on EX Pokemon using 2 in combination of silver bangle, laser/virbank, or 3 Deoxys EX. The prize trade off is another reason what made Kyurem so good.
Im honestly surprised Crobat G wasn't on this list. I know it isn't direct damage or even a lot, but it is important in the SP format for ita damage to the bench.
It seems to be mainly because this list is only taking into account Pokemon with attacks that let you deal damage to benched Pokemon, and Crobat G only does so with an ability
Damn, i still remembered using Giratina & Garchomp Tag Team GX, the 40 damage bench attack was a really nifty finisher, and all for 1 colorless energy too. Even though its not the main strategy, since its more of the win more finisher, its still a pretty strong one, and brings back memories. There are of course better options tho, so im just in nostalgia.
I feel like wellspring ogerpon ex should be on here. Getting to do 100 damage to the active and 120 to a benched if you shuffle 3 energy attached to wellspring into the deck is really good
Probably too new to have proven its own results. But it's Water-type, so it gets to benefit from silly Baxcalibur, Cheems-Pao, Radiant Greninja, Palkia VStar and all those good things. Plus, like someone else mentioned, Dragapult ex came out in the same expansion, and so did Greninja Tera ex who is similarly pretty threatening. Y'all better start packing those Manaphy
Bit surprising that the Black Star Promo Tapu Koko from Sun and Moon didn't make it. For 2 colorless energy, or just 1 Double Colorless Energy attachment, the Flying Flip attack it had dealt 20 damage to both your opponents active Pokemon and all their benched Pokemon. It also had a free retreat cost as well, so it could be thrown into most decks back during the Sun and Moon era and do reliable chip damage to everything with it's Flying Flip as well as help pivot your mons around due to the free retreat.
Because it's quite frankly pretty bad, truthfully -- I've always held the opinion that it was mostly only "good" because it had other good cards to help it out. But Jolteon Vmax itself is positively riddled with problems: being fighting weak in a format where both Urshifu Vmax variants were good, arguably great, definitely held it back somewhat. The damage output was also pretty underwhelming, and it needed damage counters on Pokemon to be able to hit the bench at all -- something that most other Pokemon that have attacks that bench snipe don't require; even then, it was arguably outclassed by both Rapid Strike Urshifu Vmax and Dragapult Vmax when it was first introduced, and it only overtook them in the next format it was in because Mew Vmax's dominance made players shy away from those 2 cards, as the former was weak to psychic, and by extension Mew, and the latter was viewed as inferior and people were somewhat afraid of dark decks coming into the format to try and beat the meta warping Mew Vmax. Then when V Stars were introduced, we got Manaphy, which took away any viability Jolteon Vmax had by protecting the bench, therefore causing Jolteon to spend the rest of the time it was standard legal as unplayable, and Zapdos ex -- a card that is effectively Jolteon Vmax 2.0 -- is in the same position for the exact same reasons: low damage output and being unable to hit the bench against decks with Manaphy. And to further rub salt into the wound, not only were any attempts to revive Jolteon Vmax ultimately unsuccessful, but it was outclassed by not only Magnezone V Star (albeit only for a short time), Radiant Greninja, which could hit 2 benched Pokemon without extra set-up (Jolt Doggo could only hit 1 benched Pokemon), and even Rapid Strike Urshifu Vmax saw a resurgence as well, leaving Jolteon Vmax without a real niche it could fulfill. Yes, it was the second best deck in the Fusion Strike format, but it was significantly worse the format before (it was only really played because there was no bench protection at the time), and was unplayable afterwards; I think he also realized that he made a mistake by putting it in the top 10 Vmaxs list made on this channel due to the pushback that video got in the comments section. TL;DR -- Jolteon Vmax is, in my opinion, quite overrated, and not worth mentioning here because it didn't have the same level of success that the cards that actually made the cut did
it's not too competitive due to the awkward differing energy types and the fact pokemon v was the big decks in the format in 2021 but amazing rare kyogre when powered up can hit all your opponents pokemon for 80 damage which is overpowered when you think about the evolving basics and the stage 1's and even most stage 2's in the game being one to two hit ko 'ed by it's attack
One day someone thought "what if we can attack (to some degree) the Pokémon inside the opponent’s Poké balls?"
And so they did.
In the manga, there was at least time when someone attacked their opponent's pokeballs to break them enough to stop the Pokemon inside from being used. I think it might have happened multiple times, but it definitely happened at least once.
It's not quite the same thing, but it's pretty similar.
Surpised flying flip Tapu Koko wasn’t on here. Idk if it was comp viable but I know it was annoying af
It was very viable, important card in several decks 2017/18
Wow, no Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX? That card was successful for almost 3 years in 3 very different formats. It was the sole reason every deck needed to have Mew or later Manaphy in play.

It doesnt have any notable tournament results yet. Its still newer
@@wingsof5stack390 At this point we have Japanese numbers, and it seems like it won't warp the ENTIRE format around it. Still very strong
0:14 "Whenever a good pokemon... is printed, they're very strong"
Gee who could've guessed
No mention of inteleon v and vmax. That’s crazy
19:49 Hey it's Star Portal not Subspace Swell that accelerates Water Energy 😅 you mentioned Subspace Swell a few times
Forgot to mention that Blizzard Burn can also be used fairly easily to take OHKOs on EX Pokemon using 2 in combination of silver bangle, laser/virbank, or 3 Deoxys EX.

I feel like wellspring ogerpon ex should be on here. Getting to do 100 damage to the active and 120 to a benched if you shuffle 3 energy attached to wellspring into the deck is really good

@@nicocchiToo bad manaphy and Jirachi don't protect from Dragapult 😂😅😟😭😭😭 why Pokemon?
According to the comments, this should have been a Top 50 list 😂
Right?
Love vids like these bro!
I was thinking Amazing Rare Raikou would be on here

It’s kinda funny how Jet Punch is just. An actual real move now, and buzzwole isn’t even in the same game as it
Silly request: Pokemon with the most categorical information attached-like the Garchomp C Lvl. X SP in this video
21:50 OOWOO
Too bad there's no Rapid Strke Urshifu in this list in a format without bench protection
Huhu why Jolteon Vmax not mentioned

Haaaave you read Dragapult ex ? 🤣
No Greninja break?
