Gambits in all honesty better. Sucker punch is stronger after + 5, bulk is insanely better, mawile baby form is very hard to switch into anything, and while the typing is very good, ground types rule supreme in OU and mega mawile wouldnt be able to tera
What made megas so cool was the fact that they gave new life to completely irrelevant pokemon in an awesome way, as opposed to just buffing their stats and move pool. That being said, when megas got taken away, every single one of those pokemon went immediately back into pure irrelevance. People think Greninja's fall off is bad? Garchomp's? Kansaskhan went from Ubers to ZU in the span of 1 generation lmao, never been done before. Definitely excited to see megas come back, just hoping all my favorites get megas
quick note: 5:40 Gengar didn't get encore yet in gen6, this is something it got in gen8 which eventually resulted mega gengar to be banned from national dex ubers in gen9
@@darkwolf9637 I honestly wished that ALL starters could get a mega evolution Instead of biased ones like Charizard getting two and mewtwo getting two :(
Damn, deoxys-N is a real tragic mon. Doomed to be a diet version of their attack form. With Deoxys-N being the base form, you'd expect them to have the most balanced/even set of stats out of all their forms, but nope! However, it can be kinda hard to understand you at times, and the automatic captions are godawful, so I can't rely on those to understand you. Maybe putting some captions in your video could help?
GREAT VID! :D i really like explination videos like this so im defo subbing! also do we like actually know that megas are returning or is it just like a sort of "it will be extremely surprising if they dont bring them back" sort of deal?
Although powercreep exists you also have to think of it like this. If we can have 10 pokemon per tier then if we have 10 pokemon all 10 will be in the highest tier. But if we have 100 pokemon on average only 1 of those original 10 will be in the highest tier. Since gen 6 the Pokédex has grown 42%. So in every tier 30% of the original tier will go leave the tier just based on the bigger Pokédex. Everything past that could be considered powercreep
@@toadfake4588 it’s unfortunate cause if they are too fast, people say they too banhappy. If they too slow, people say they stupid Being a governing body isn’t easy fam :/ gotta give them credit where it’s due
@@mochagotcha it’s not bc they ban literally everything to the point where they just ban abilities and even moves so hearing about another ban isn’t interesting or surprising
@@be2957 everything is wayyyyy too exaggerated no? even in my current video the ban only included less than 30 bans and thats less than 1% of the pokemon pool
@@mochagotcha there’s more than that in the current ou format that are banned and you’re line of thinking isn’t strong either since you forget that dexit already removed half the dex on top of the bans like take glisor for example he was ban for a while in sv ou bc they banned all the guys that beat him
@@be2957 oh ive been keeping track haha im planning to make a video about the current bans as well! oops spoilers current count of banned pokemons is still sub 30 tho even if we consider the dexit it's still less than 5% there are still plenty of playable pokemons in the pool of usable mons no?
Have you heard of grassroots competitive scenes? Guess any competitive meta of any game doesn't exist unless it's explicitly supported by the developer. Speedrunner moment.
QOTD: what are you guys most looking forward to return in Legends Z to A?
Mega Mawile (It will be basically KINGAMBIT 2 LOL)

Oops! Thanks for the catch!!
Watched and enjoyed the full video without realizing how small this channel is, just wow, keep going bro underrated channel, earned my sub
thanks so much! means a lot to me :D
look forward to more things from me!
I hope delphox gets a mega form, its a crime that the starters from the game that introduce mega evolution don't have mega evolutions
@@darkwolf9637 I honestly wished that ALL starters could get a mega evolution

very cool video man very nice high qual video, keep it up!
Thank you so much! really appreciate it :D
feel free to drop a sub and drop my streams in the future!
Such a well made video! I couldn’t believe my eyes when there wasn’t a K next to your subs!

Thanks for the compliment! It’s more so the latter for your question actually! No concrete news outside of the trailer for now
Crazy that Lando-I was banned so late, after Aegislash no less.
right? I rlly hated that mon since early XY and was so surprised that it took so long

interesting point but then how do you define powercreep by that instance then?
I like this video, but I suggest editing the music better, sometimes just one segment loops again and again which sorta takes the immersion out of me
Thanks for the comment! Will take this into account for my next video!
Good video, I think there's more plenty of room for this type of content on UA-cam. The music starting around the Genesect section is a bit loud, IMO.
Thanks for the compliment and advice! I’ll factor in the BGM settings for the next video!
What I always learn from these from any channel is that the smogon council members are incredibly stupid and slow in many gens (including this one).

Smogon is not the competitive Pokemon. It's literally just a bunch of fans making a metal for themselves. But if it ain't VGC then it ain't it.

So no other formats are allowed to exist?
