“He(Lucario) becomes the Goku of the Pokémon world”
Fun Fact: The English VA of Goku voices Lucario in Smash.
I don't think it was in Smash, it's in the movie.
@@Niall_Sene Looking it up, he did both.
@@justinn8541akaDrPokemonI think he (the voice actor) just started in Sm4sh and not Brawl so that might have caused some confusion… idk
I think he knows the VA connection
probably why he said that in the first place
also Black Doom
@@UltimatePhantasm I think his confusion was based on the fact he knew Sean Schemmel did Lucario in the movies, but he didn't know he also did Lucario in Smash 4 and 5.
Golisopod's Emergency Exit saved my life... Without it I would NEVER have been able to defeat Ultra Necrozma. He was literally my last Pokemon, on the brink of death, and was only able to clutch the win because he had switched out using his ability earlier in the battle, allowing him to use First Impression a second time.
Oh damn
Golisopod played ultra moon alone in my case
In my spors nuzlocke golisopod was a godsend with it doing some major damage Then switching out without Washington a turn and due to its vers good bulk it never Got on shot and i even won the champion battle with it
Don’t get me wrong I love golisopod so much but the ability is still crap and sure it allowed it to switch out but you were probably going to switch out your Pokémon if it gets really low so I don’t understand how this would mean you could NEVER defeat ultra necrozma
From my second sword play through I learnt NEVER to dynamax it. 😅
I think I got one. The "High Expectation." You've heard people use it a lot, it looks cool, you encountered it once in the wild and it almost swept your whole team so you caught it to save yourself, what ever the reason is, you thought it was strong, but you could never make it work. It stays on your team bc you are SURE it'll make a clutch play at SOME point, but it never does
My new take:
The high expectation: Rotom (Caught at some random time, was overall underleveled, replaced with Eternatus)
I have a separate PC box for my former team members, to give them some honour. Sometimes my main team members go to visit them when I'm hatching an egg or something
SAME! LIKE DUDE, SAME! Guess i’m not the only one,
This is precious, i will start doing it
@@lukasmagana466 me too. And it sounds incredibly wholesome
@Surepeacooler I actually don’t use my original starter anymore, most of my old team stays in the box except for my vaporeon which was sort of like my version of pikachu 😅
I also have that box
Wimpod also has a signature ability Wimp Out that does the exact same as Emergency Exit so i guess Golisopod is less scared and more rational
not an ability but Toxel and Toxtricity also have something like this, Toxel learns Tearful Look and Toxtricity learns Noble Roar, both these moves do the same but one is not scared and one is scared
No, he's just trying to disguise his fear
@@IF_Ironsza yeah
@@coronadesert i would know, it lost me a shiney
Can't believe you put Corviknight in the "looks cool but it sucks category." Yeah, tanky and slow isn't the most exciting playstyle, but with the kind of hits it can take, it's way more reliable than you give it credit for.
Yeah corviknight is one of the best birds out there
"Woolo with a gun can't hurt you"
Woolo with a gun: 10:40
Oh no, it packed heat
Fly and surf mon in earlier generations, Starter and fodder or legendary. That's most teams
@@SigmaGaming-YFGA Straight to the report bin you go
@@SigmaGaming-YFGA you are not a sigma. You will never be a sigma. You are a bot. Stop. UTTP ahh-

“My Pokémon Sun Team Was Disfunctional” 💀
I had an Incineroar and brought a frickin Male Salandit all the way to the league
@@corcortinez5361 lol
This is so facts
@@corcortinez5361lmao
@@corcortinez5361 He’s Gotta Evolve some day
I used Wishiwashi and it kicked butt in Moon after it got the School Form. Was one of my strongest members.
same here it carried me through ultra sun if i remeber correctly it took the grass z-move in that trial and 2 zing-zaps
My team for Sword had a major case of the new guy since I caught my whole team (Cinderace, Drednaw, Corviknight, Obstagoon and Boltund) in the first half hour of the game and then caught my sixth member Grapploct before the seventh gym
I did this mostly too
I used my starter, caught two bugs and a dog, caught a Pikachu to help with fire because I sucked at it (the thing is OP wth) and picked up a Swirlix later cuz I thought it looked cool
My final team ended up being my starter Rillaboom, Melmetal, Lucario, Eternatus, and I swapped between Inteleon + Cinderace and Charizard + Blastoise
@@moxiemouse24 Rillaboom, Thievul, Swirlix, Butterfree, Orbeetle, Raichu (You would not believe me if I told you that I was able to make this team competitively viable)
I taught my clodsire:
Toxic Spikes
Spikes
Stealth Rock
Tera Blast
Ultra setup
You are a monster
The HM Slave was an old favourite, they were like a sub that came in clutch outside of battle and that's it, might've never really cared about them in the same way as the rest, but they earned my respect, looking at you, Linoon.
Same but for some reason if my linoone was ever the last alive it would clutch so hard
@@Niall_Sene now hms are gone and the zigzagoon line now has a new job- KISS band member.
The retirement glow up is real
My unexpected MVP was in Pokerogue, I was on floor 195, and all of my star players were dead. It was just Ivy’s mega rayquaza and my underleveled furret. Her rayquaza was on semi low health, and I thought it was over. I clicked double edge, fully expecting it to not outspeed, and not only does furret outspeed, he also crits the rayquaza and wins us the battle. I’ve held a lot more respect for furret since then
Did you win the run?
furret breaks the ground by walking, but when it runs? you better hide..
That sounds like the best run to post on youtube
Sounds like you had a hell of a run.
4:29 crovignight saved me countless times in sword
2:23 that's my Cetitan. I named him ODDLES! Carried me in the doubles gym after I JUST caught and evolved him. Only caught him cause I paused to eat dinner and he kept watching me, wanting to be caught, to the point I HAD to excuse myself to catch the little guy. Avalanche helped so much that doubles gym...love ya little guy. You were, even if just for one battle, the legit MVP
The cool design one is MY archetype. Want a crazy example? I used a Chimecho, and an unown, on the same team, to beat Cynthia BDSP version and they sure did pull through. Chimecho was my MVP in that moment, even overcoming Garchomp!
I used a chimecho in sinnoh before as well once it got a decent psychic and grass knot it started becoming a unexpected mvp and that team had infernape, lucario and togekiss on it as well. the difference for me though is that i was playing plat instead of bdsp
Starters are more or less designed to be the leaders of a team. Usually good stats all around, good level up moves, and reasonable evolution levels. The only time I've really replaced one is for a late game team that has a certain theme going on, with a pseudo legendary or weather setter as the leader.
Second in command is generally a pokemon that covers the leader's weaknesses. Like a grass type that covers a fire type's weaknesses.
I always have at least one pokemon that's the wall. Maybe one for both sides of the special/physical split. This is the guy you put in to take some hits, so you can heal other members of the team. Or just wear down an attacker that other members can't deal with easily.
In my Pokemon X team, when I didn't pick Charizard, I picked Venasaur. Its typing goes well with Greninja, who was my starter. Honestly as strong as Venasaur is, it became the leader, and Greninja was the second in command that covered its weaknesses. Snorlax and Honedge were my walls, although once I got Aegislash I didn't really need Snorlax anymore. Gardevior was there mostly because fairy was the hot new thing, and I liked the type combo she had. Weak defenses and slow speed, plus needing TMs just to function. Probably the least useful team member for most of the game, but by the end pulled her weight.
I also had a Gogoat on the teams when I had Charizard X, because otherwise my team had problems with ground types. It's kind of a mid pokemon, but it looks cool, and it does the job I need it to do.
Vikavolt sweaps the majority of Shield. Evolves level 20, then thunder stone and gets thunderbolt and bug buzz to beat grass gym, water gym etc
Ultra Beasts aren’t legendaries because they’re just normal Pokemon from other dimensions. Therefore, I’m free to happily use Xurkitree and not feel like I’m cheating!
I like the stereotype of "hidden powerhouse" not so much of an underdog as it is a setup monster. Pokemon that rely on a very specific situation to work wonders and sweep the enemy team, often times requiring a team that revolves around them. Trickroom teams come to mind. My best example of this is Snorlax, he cant do much without proper setup but when he gets there,you can jst spam A at that point
I like to call that archetype the "niche pick". My Hatterene absolutely popped off with a trick room but was otherwise too frail and slow to function without backup (shoutout to my Indeedee, who fought in exactly one battle). Similarly, my Torkoal was pretty decent but was an amazing counter to weather teams, and a great partner for Hatterene.
I hate trickroom, mostly because of radical red
I had my excavalier there, i was so sure it would help me, it has high attack, good type and a very low speed
It did absolutly nothing!
That was my joltion from Sun. I caught a plus speed nature, then murdered the entire population of magikarp in the route next to where I caught it, then lastly, electro ball plus agility go brrrr
another banger.
also another archetype: the shiny you got early and want to keep on the team. Sometimes its a decent pokemon, sometimes it sucks, rarely it's cracked.
Thank you!
Ohhh that's such a good one, I remember I caught one early on in BDSP and I by law had to keep it on my team
I found a shiny Shinx on the very first day of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl being released and used it on my team all the way to the League.
@@EXtreme0209 I got shiny galarian Meowth in Scorched Silver (a pokemon Rom while grinding) my first shiny I have ever caught and it had an adamant nature. I just had to use it
I got a sudowoodo while looking for Eevee in my violet run. They're just sitting in the box, and they probably will be for a while because I decided to only use eeveelutions.
I played through Violet with a shiny Swablu/Altaria I caught before the first Team Star base. Her name was Scrample Egg and she couldn’t take a hit to save anyone’s life but heehoo funny yellow burd
I tend to give my team members all sorts of personality quirks, they're all very precious to me - especially the final team most often
Team building things that tend to happen during a playthrough
- Get starter, immediately deeply bond with it
- Catch everything on the early routes, it's for the dex, maybe a few of these fellas are something I like or tolerate, they get to stick around for a bit longer
* Sometimes they stick around for a decent while and I use them semi actively
* I may not consider them 'final team' material, but for now I'm enjoying them (Purloins in Black & Sword, a Buizel & Deerling in Violet, Alolan Meowth in Ultra Moon (or Sun?)) - they'll only get boxed once the actual final team has been gathered up, though they might make an appearance here and there again if the Type-advantage is there - or you don't want to over level your main team
- The one you spend a lot of time hunting for, or run around in the grass specifically waiting for this pokemon to show up. It seems they really ain't that easily found, but you Really want 1 in your team (Charcadet in Violet, Eevee in Black 2, a temporary Houndour in Violet - I Really like them, and was trying so hard to get back in that cave lol. The moment we got our Ride-don I sprinted right on over. He stuck around for a formidable amount of time, making repeat appearances here and there)
* Catching multiple of the same pokemon for a better Nature or the Gender you want is also something (Like, I wanted a Male Houndour. In Black 2 I was trying for a Pawniard that had a decent Nature (I spent ages in that grass looking for a Pawniard in the first place, and then I Think it was, like, Modest. So I went and caught a few more. Also encountered my first ever shiny at this point, a Gothorita, didn't end up on using them)
- The feeling of having a full team of mons you like is great, even if you know that this isn't your final team yet, you do get a little attached
- The pokemon I get for the dex get random pokeballs, the one I plan on using get the fancy ones (Premier & Luxury balls)
- I usually try to use only newest generation pokemon when a new game comes out
* But sometimes I run into an earlier gen pokemon I adore so much I just Have To use them (Manectric, it's my fave mon, I Have To use it if I can)
- A thing typical for me is to kinda have 'back-up team' members, I tend to like more than 6 pokemon, and some of them have type-advantages over some gyms, so I may pop in a member here and there, like a guest appearance for an old favourite
* Type-overlapping is also definitely a thing. I had both an Espathra & a Farigiraf in Violet, was struggling to decide which one was coming to the league & end-game with me. It ended up om being the Farigiraf because of the bulk, but I Did adore that Espathra, having it evolve from a tiny Flittle to become this gorgeous bird... It was a shame my team was already full
- Then there are the pokemon you wanted to use but they just... weren't pulling their weight (Tievul. I really Really wanted to use it, but the Liepard that was just hanging out was putting in more work. It really got screwed over by its movepool)
* Also a sad moment when one time I chose to bring a new member to the team because of type-effectiveness & variety in movepool. I Like Lucario, it has such a varied movepool too. I had used one in Black 2 before and he was amazing. I figured that a Steel/Fighting mon with crazy coverage was gonna be more effective for the 'Elite 4 & Champion' in Sword, so I picked up the one that roams the wilds fully evolved - and told my Leafeon, who was a real bro and I loved him lots, even if he wasn't a planned member or anything, that it was time for 'em to sit back for a bit. And Man it felt bad. It was so wrong. That Leafeon had been there for a while now, on and off, they had been my one of my joy-bringers whom I loved to see over and over. While I felt little to no connection to the Lucario. It felt wrong to bring this Lucario, this, new stranger, to the league, while Leafeon had to sit on the bench. It didn't feel good. It never felt good. Even at the end it just didn't feel satisfying. Will probably never do that again
- A random unplanned member. An encounter. One you couldn't foretell but now that you've got this pokemon, you just know, you Have To use them
* For me, this was my Shiny Rockruff in Violet. My god. My baby. He was so precious. I was roaming around, I Forget if I was looking around for anything specific or what, but I see blue, I freeze, and oh my god. Puppy. I dunno if I saved or not lol. I was going crazy. I encountered it, prayed not to faint it, and used a Premier ball to catch it (can't remember if I had like just the 1 or 2 or what) - I caught it, and Immediately I Knew I Had To use him for the journey. This was around the 1st Gym location, so yeah, very early on in the game. This precious puppy is the reason I didn't end up on having room to bring in all the Gen 9 mons I had planned lol (though I Think I had more than 6 I liked regardless lol)
On Pokemon diamond I had a gengar, gengar is a good Pokemon, but I didn’t expect THAT much from him, I taught him attract, and I literally SWEEPED Cynthia’s whole team.
My “pokemon with potential” was growlithe. When it became an arcanine, it instantly shot to second in command and stayed there

@fluffykittenscrafts I see this as I rewatch the video but sadly no I’m not a bot
I always make a special box for Pokémon that were special to me and were on my team for a long time. I call that box “never forgotten” every time and I put something like chansey or comfey to pretend like they take care of the OGs.
My teams always have, no matter the generation:
- Starter
- Bird
- Bug
- Fire, water or grass type that isn't the same as the starter
- The one who carries the most HMs
- Random
The reliable:
Me: oh so ceruledge
The video:shows ceruledge
Me: HUH?
I swear, Ceruledge carried me throughout Violet. I just destroyed everything after a swords dance
0:13 Rizzachu lol
Edit:Thank you for 10 likes
0:03 ey! I’ll have you know I used Rampardos/Leafeon, Gastrodon and Weavile thank you very much
Isn't Gastrodon semi popular?
@@Beast_the_smash_guy only semi?
@@Beast_the_smash_guy Gastrodon is very popular
It and Floatzel are the two generic choices for water types in Sinnoh
I was planning on doing Lopunny, Mawhile, Empoleon, Roserade, Gallade, and Drifblim for my team, not even close to the team here 😭
I used Leafeon and Weavile on my team too. I never got the chance to have a Rampardos and I ditched my Gastrodon😅
Imagine if you will this scenario:
It's been 20 minutes. You've been up against this legendary for what feels like hours. It's late at night and you only have two 'mons left that aren't KO'd; one in the back that's a little level 5 nugget holding a EXP share and only knows Growl and Tackle, and on the field as the sparks fly you can practically HEAR the legendary beast roaring through it's halls "WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE ALREADY?!"
And why is that so? Because you have "The Rock" on the field! A source of stability, an unshakable wall of stall, and a clutch ace when the Leader goes down in the middle of an Elite Four Champion battle and you need more than one turn to bring back to the team to full. The Rock is the teammate that JUST.DON'T.FALL.IN.ON.HIT. It can be anything really. A minimized Muk with Toxic Stall, Gliscor with Poison Heal and an Toxic Orb preventing para or sleep or burn, Ferrothorn with ingrain, or even just the classic Snorlax sleeping in front of Lance's final Dragonite that wakes up the turn it uses Hyper Beam to go for the Body Slam. The Rock is that reliable teammate that can help you clutch up with several healing items, more chances to catch the legendary, or just is a great way to piss off your friends in battles as their fragile Hyper Offense is beaten down with Toxic Stall strats. To me, THIS is an important teammate archetype that needs a shout out.
Either way, great video and I hope you all consider how important your OWN Rock is. . .even if they're not a Rock type.
"Inevitably, your leader is gonna faint"
Nuzlockers: 😬😬😬
13:27 my clodsire has saved me one too many times and even made it to the hall of fame
I recently finished a challenge in Sword on my channel where I could only deal damage with Kicking Moves. Cinderace with Blaze Kick was my leader, but the one that stole the show and became surprisingly reliable was Mudsdale. His High Horsepower and other kicking moves took out several Dynamaxed Pokémon, which was a huge deal since I couldn't Dynamax myself to absorb those moves better.
Don’t forget the wall, the one team member who never dies. You need a revive and a super potion to get your leader back to full, and the wall’s on the field. It can be any bulky mon really, poison heal toxic orb gliscor, quagsire with leftovers, or even the classic snorlax. You can count on this guy to tank enough damage to not only heal your team up, but also deal some good damage in the process.
I will never forget you, jello the shiny quagsire in pokemon brick bronze.
For me it was my Brobzong in Pokemon Diamond
In my blind moon nuzlocke this was definitely the stamina Mudbray I got early on island 2, he was probably the reason I was able to even beat that.
3:08 I have had an Alolan Vulpix on my team in every Pokémon game I could. Fits perfectly the description of just being there because of looks. Heck I have even had them along side Glaceon on my team, because I cannot trust even their ice type moves being any good.
However, with the SV DLC I have got a few clips of Vulpix coming in clutch.
I did a nuzelocke a while ago and the members in it fit the arcetiects mention in this video well. Here is the Elite four team and their classifications.
Luna(Hypno)- Ol' Reliable (I call starter but acts more like this class)
Chad(Machoke)- Looksmaxer (died)
McRonalds(Snorlax)- Tank (Cannon Fodder done right)
Perry(Golduck)- the OG (oldest living member)
Henry(Nidoking)- Diamond in the Rough (kind of)
Daredevil(Magmar)- Fumbler (helped in Chad's death)
Luna become so important to me I made my UA-cam account based on her.
In Pokemon X I spent all my Pokeballs trying to catch a wild Dunsparce. I was so frustrated by how long it took to catch that I named it "Useless." But you know what they say... If you name it, you'll get attached to it. Bro came in clutch using Rollout against Viola, and he became one of my most beloved team members the entire playthrough.
Useless was a real one fr
imagine needing a clutch win in the first gym of the easiest pokemon games
In every Pokemon game I always get a beedrill, I don’t really put him into battle many times aside from when my main faints or I’m in a sticky situation, and he always deliver, I can’t think of a single time he hasn’t clutched, most of the times he just ends up sweeping.
Shoutout to my Sylveon that I used throughout Legends: Arceus. Didn’t expect diddly squat from him because I’ve never been an eevee fan, and I prefer Jolteon anyways, but he ended up being my tank because apparently Sylveon is ridiculously beefy for some reason. Godspeed, Nightshade. You’re one of the homies now.
“Pokémon that you love but isn’t good.”
Me: *awkwardly looks at the Lvl. 100 GMax Eevee I had in shield.*
7:51 Love the Tales of Vesperia mention!😊 One of my favorite RPGs
i have one "the one you're bringing into a nuzlocke fight because your strategy involves switching it in to get it knocked out so you can gain tempo", that one should be pretty self explanatory
I can tell you my Pokemon for some of these Archetypes, for every generation from 4-9 (It's been so long since ive Playing 2 & 3, Emerald being by first ever pokemon game, that j don't remember what pokemon i had on my teams. And i never played gen 1.)

Actual Platinum Playthrough.
There is a running gag where my Kuudere Coordinator Ayumi Ueno (simply referred to as Ayumi) considers her starter (Pochama) to be an incompetent fighter, so she often leads with a different Pokémon instead. Her starter was already defeated five times before she obtained her first badge. And she is trying to win without using items in battle.
(All Pokémon and trainers are referred to with their japanese names)
Ayumi blacked out when Tetsuji's Naetle defeated her Pochama with Tackle in Route 201
Ayumi blacked out when Yuuta's Mukkuru defeated her Pochama with Tackle in Route 202
Ayumi blacked out when a wild Kolink defeated her Pochama with Tackle in Route 202
Tetsuji's Naetle defeated Ayumi's Pochama with Tackle in Route 203
Hyota's Zugaidos defeated Ayumi's Pochama with Pursuit in Kurogane Gym
Ayumi is embarrassed when she found out that her Pochama already lost her the first two trainer battles.
On the other hand, her Mukubird sweeped her through all of Hakutai Gym without Ayumi needing to switch out or use an item. Good job, Mukubird!
Ayumi's team currently consists of her incompetent Pochama, her Physical Sweeper Mukubird, her Special Attacker Subomie that she calls Hanako, her Physical Tank/Rock Smasher Ishitsubute, and her Mysterious New Recruit Rotom. She's planning to add either Heracross or Asanan as her sixth member.
1:15 my little gal stella (ogrepon) was always ol’ reliable
and in shield my lil guy beast(Gar chomp) and houdini(alakazam)
foreign pokemon was Geschoss my silly little barraskewda i caught in germany in pokémon go
leader is Demeter (meowscarada) the terrorist (it was a running joke with my friends while we were playing that she caused 9/11)
The R in Ogerpon should be after the E!
@@LemonHIVE Garchomp is one word!
My alolan muk was my underdog, day one, and second in command for ultra sun lol. Had no expectations of him, told myself “might as well fill an extra slot before this fight” and he never left. He kept kicking ass. He refused to ever die, and when he did it was because the rest of the team had already gone. Shout out to Brainrot, you did more than I ever expected lol.
ALL POKEMON ARE TO BE CALLED IT, NOT HE OR SHE! AND WE DO NOT SAY ASS IN POKEMON!
@ no, I am a grown adult and ass is not that bad of a word. Also I actually care about my Pokémon, they aren’t an it unless it’s a genderless robot like metagross. The metagross I had on that team was an it, brainrot was a he. Why the hell are you trying to have this conversation? Are you 9?
Sableye was my old reliable in Emerald. Tate and Liza had slowly destroyed my team until only he was left, and he went on to win. He didn't come to the Elite 4, but I will never forget how deceptively good Sableye can be.
The sentimental for me in scarlet was a shiny lechonk that showed up right after the lighthouse cutscenes in the beginning and it was just casually walking around the building and i kept it on my team through the entire game
5:24 My Audino in ORAS. I never knew this pokemon even existed until I started using it in contests.
I must agree with the dachsbun one, I only kept it on my team because she was such a good boy, even though it’s type overlapped with my azumarill 4:47
The wishiwashi with the words useless two seconds later thay pull a vultron and turn into a mech made of fish 😂😂😂
Most of my playthrough teams have been:
-starter
-early router
-eeveelution
-box legendary
-some random guy
-pseudo legendary
Heracross, H-Lilligant, and Araquanid all seemed mid at first but then started pumping god-like results
I recently played Platinum with mons I’ve never used, and I ended up with Luxray (I know crazy), the one with me since the beginning, Medicham the underdog, Probopass the “just exists” and “can’t land moves”, Altaria for the looks and not the stats, Milotic the reward, and Rapidash the “just exists”.
When it comes to teams in my playthroughs I tend to notice recurring elements:
-Starter
-Flying Type (often a bird, once I used Swoobat)
-One or two Pokémon of the starter type I didn't choose (Ex: Gyarados, Talonflame, Roserade)
-Electric Type (often Jolteon, Manectric, or Magnezone)
-Chunky boy (Ex: Snorlax, Mudsdale, Krookodile)
-Fighting and/or Psychic (Ex: Lucario, Gardevoir)
Rare, but Still Recurring
-Dragon Type (Ex: Salamence in most of my Alola playthroughs)
-Legendary (Ex: Lunala, Latios, Urshifu)
For me, my teams always have been incredibly balanced, and I have often been brainstorming in some of my playthroughs. Mostly in romhacks. But what I can say is, for me, the mon that was my ace the most out of any other mon and even starters is Crobat. My man is just incredible. He is both my leader and ol'reliable. He is fast, he can sweep most of the types with ease and just such a dope guy. He often was 3-4 levels higher than enemies I faced. But often, with blind playthroughs, I have a starter and a mon from first routes to start my sweep of the game, and I am planning according to them first. And I always try to give all my mons attention and roles. Some might had more spotlight, but I won't forget any achievements. My most memorable playthrough was of Renegade platinum, where my team of Empoleon, Glaceon, Meganium, Flygon, Crobat (ofc) and Skuntank is still my favorite. Binah the Empoleon was mainly against fire types, and the most memorable her achievement was obliterating Don's Infernape (idk how my penguin survived it's close combat, but I am proud of her ever since (suck it "ape counters" believers)). Clint the Glaceon was just straight up op. Bertha and Synthia's Garchomp stood absolutely no chance. Orlan the Meganium was water counter. Obviously. He was used prob the second most, but not exactly was the key to victories, but just ibcredibly good. Aaron the Flygon was used the least, only countering some electrics, but still worked a good ammount. Crobat named Govart was mvp always. Grass, fighting, fairies, bugs were nothing. And Alex the Skuntank tanked all psychics and ghosts. Still one of my favorite romhacks and playthroughs.
Vikavolt is a beast! It needs Agility and Roost but those with tbolt and bug buzz while holding a life orb was a monster for me on my Moon playthrough.
3:20 my shiny rowlet in one of my scarlet playthroghs filled the role, he reached level 100 before the 6th gym and yes it was good then bit then it fell off hard, also i didn't bother to evolve it i just liked him
The tropes represented in the Five Man Band really do work out for Pokémon teams.
It’s funny; you mentioned Alolan Muk and Garganacl not being impressive at first until you kept them, and I had the same experience. I had no intentions of using either of those Pokémon but once I found a shiny for both of them, I felt obligated to use them and wound up loving both of them!
Clodsire is actually pretty solid, it was nearly always my lead, Stealth Rock -> Yawn -> Protect -> Switch was basically how I lead every battle.
whenever the blind one misses multiple times i say ur adopted to the screen

-a poketuber ig lol
Furfrou was definitely my unexpected MVP. He kept critting headbutts and takedowns, all while tanking fighting moves that should've destroyed him, to the point that I had to change it's name to Zohan, because nobody should mess with it.
Shout out to that Mr. Rime gift pokemon I got during my shield playthrough, dunno how she survived being an ice type on my team but goddamn she was a one woman army when my ace and second in command got KO’d
Leaders: Espeon (Colosseum), Serperior, Inteleon, Empoleon, Typhlosion, Skeledirge
Second-In-Commands: Feraligatr (Colosseum), Corviknight, Staraptor, Garganacl
Only there because I think they’re cool/cute: Minun (Colosseum), Cubchoo (everstoned in Shield. Did eventually replace), Grafaiai
Only there because they’ve been with me since the beginning: Luxray, Dachsbun
The new guy: Lucario, and kind of had the opposite with Palafin and Kilowattrel, as they were both too high-leveled for me to want to use at first.
Unexpected MVP: Dachsbun, Garganacl
Always does something wrong: applies to literally every pokemon I’ve ever used at some point.
For some reason , i always view my team as a royalty thing. My Staraptor is my Empoleon’s knight and protector LOL
I had my recent sun run hold the "challenge" of "no PC allowed". I did this solely to mess with Lusamine, and my team for that run was Decidueye (the closest I can get to a sword using starter, but also to have a ghost/grass to bully lusamine's Pokemon), Aigislash (haha sword go brrr- oh wow this thing's busted!), Toxapex (it was sorely needed for the fire trial, and I wanted a water type on there anyway. Accidentally made my statement against Lusamine a bit larger for it), Talonflame (needed a fire type for the grass trial, and to take down one of Lusamine's pokemon), Pangoro (I figured a fighting type would do me well. A meowth was caught and later released to evolve pangoro. It was called out by Lusamine, which defeated the point of my challenge, but oh well), Solgaleo (ofcourse im keeping the box legendary on the team, it's tradition! ..and It was nicknamed 'nebby', as it is the law).
Overall? It was a fun time
THE FIRST I IN AEGISLASH IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN E! AND OF COURSE IS 2 WORDS, NOT ONE WORD!
I remember during a scarlet playthrough, i had a crabominable during one of the Nemona fights, and it got paralysed by her pawmo, and was stuck not being able to attack due to paralysis for 6 TURNS IN A ROW. Jeezus i really shouldve used a paralysis heal
Every team needs a wall, you can not convince me otherwise
Some more Archetypes
Niche Mon: The pokemon you added to your team for a very specific reason, usually to counter a very specific strategy. These mons are usually unremarkable until they save your team in the one scenario they shine in. This was my torkoal in Radical Red. His purpose was to set sun and he did it very well. Moreso a thing in challenge romhacks.
Fell Off: Day 1 mons who are extremely strong earlygame before falling off in the mid-lategame. This was Farfetch'd in Eternal X, since they made it flying-fighting and fairly strong for the earlygame.
Enemies to Lovers: a mon that you started off hating but grew on you overtime. Very common in Nuzlockes. I forget which one this was of the top of my head.
Support star: not the type to get a ton of KOs, but provides a ton of utility. This mon may not be the strongest on paper, but always comes in clutch.
Brother made this list in a world where trick room doesn't exist, apparently. 😭
“Except those who put them straight in a box”
Only in gen 5. Every other gen has cool starters.
I’m gonna be using my Black 2 team for these archetypes because that’s my favorite game and it had my favorite team
The main guy: Samurott, my starter and also my favorite Pokémon in general
The second in command: Haxorus, the dragon of the team and my second favorite Pokémon
The legendary: Cobalion, really solid and also my favorite sword of justice
The underdog: Mandibuzz, this vulture was surprisingly good, they alone went up against three of the Elite Four members
The diamond in the rough: Volcarona, did great when I needed them to, also very pretty
The one that looks cool but isn’t that great: Zebstrika, isn’t the worst but out of all the team they just preformed the least but god they look awesome
I really love this team with all my heart and was so happy when I won with them. Anyways great video as always Rouge ✨
My team in Legends Arceus consisted of a maxed out alpha Gardevoir and things to absolutely flatten anything that managed to take the Gardi down.
Guess what my favorite Pokémon is
Nidoking was definitely ol reliable for my first soul silver playthrough.
I always loved this thing's design, but gah damn was I surprised by how much work it put in for the team after getting that moonstone.
My Lucario in X was able to dominate anything when my starter greninja was unable to take on certain opponents. He was a great second in command
13:58 that one Rattata I caught in soulsilver that somehow has won more badges than anny other pokémon on my team
You forgot False-Swipers and Sleepers.
For me, they have been Farfetchd, Noivern, Breloom, Parasect, Shedinja, and soon Bisharp, Pangoro and Gallade.
As for Sleepers, it's reliably been Butterfree and it's clone(s), so long as the Swiper couldn't also sleep. Or para.
These two have reliably been the highest level members of my team.
An underdog turned Ace in the Hole for me was my Female Kingambit that I named Agnes. For most of the game, she was a Pawnard which didn't do too much, aside from a few notable victories, especially against Tulip. But once she got to evolving, she became my team's second in command. She is one of my most used Pokemon in Tera Raids, a designated Legendary hunter being able to use both False Swipe and Thunder Wave, and is generally a powerful option against just about any opponent. Also, she hilariously couldn't be touched by Monkidori and I could just jam to the Loyal Three theme.
I still remember in sun and moon, my first ever shiny in any pokemon game was a level 100 guzzlord. MVP of the sun and moon era.
You would not believe how hard Nidoran Male carried my fire red play through. Having it evolve into its second stage only to max evolve it into Nidoking with the moon stone literally the cave after Brocks gym gave me the confidence of having a max evolve mon before the second gym.
You were so right about everything except for Clodsire because it is my team's ol' reliable
You're forgetting the substitute teacher. Its the pokemon you put on your team for a single battle or gym.
My diamond playthrough team had NONE of those cliche Pokemon on it with Dialga's exception, but that was because I actually liked it for the lore.
My Azumarill that I caught at the beginning of the game was definitely my second-in-command, though pretty close to team leader. It was the only reason I beat Kieran in the Indigo Disk.
The secret MVP of my moon game was beuty fly i think i remember thinking i was going to lose and it wiped the floor when finishing a battle.
Be me, keeping my Abra unevolved because my tastes are immaculate
same goes for the Espurr solo run, which was probably the most fun I’ve had with a Kalos play through since my first on release.
One of my favorite teams is when I decided to do a nuzlocke of Black 2, but I made it so I could start with a Larvesta as my starter. To this day, I love Sunburst, my Volcarona
She had great Synergy with Pringles my male Jellicent
Heracross save my emerald playthrough not once, but twice with two crit brick breaks against two different milotics, Juan’s and Wallaces
My scyther from lets go was always so clutch, he was like the unexpeted ace and now scyther’s my favorite bug type
11:36 NOT SHINJI ON PIKACHU'S DEATHBED 💀
I agree with the noibat take I caught it on a whim bc I thought it was cute and omg Noivern is probably one of my all time favourites, one of my goats 🥇
In Violet, I picked Sprigatito and accidentally did the gyms in the wrong order, so I had to ditch my Floragato a few hours into the game
I have this Krookodile with a choice scarf and the moxie ability. I call him the kamikaze because his sole purpose is to deal as much damage as possible before it kills itself with moves like close combat
Yeah, this is pretty much my team from every Hoenn game.
Blaziken as leader
Gardevoir as lieutenant
Delcatty serving lewks
Milotic as the Sleeper Ace
Beautifly as the Benchwarmer
I once beat Leon with spritzee and basculin as the MVPs
I remember thinking it was over bc i was left with an underleveled greedent in pokemon shield but it ended up winning the fight by surviving with the power of friendship 5 times in a row
