    Once upon a time, there were two types that decided they would reach Heaven. Alakazam used its peerless intellect to design a tower that would pierce God's own realm, while Tauros used its fearsome might to cart the boulders that would build it. Snorlax laid the foundations, Chansey offered refreshments, Slowbro and Exeggutor assembled the pieces hand in hand. It was the very picture of harmony.
    But Arceus is a jealous god, and would endure no rival. It punished the tower-makers for their hubris, brought Pursuit and Close Combat and Tyranitar and Heracross into the world, and the people of the world would regard Psychic and Normal types as a detriment ever since.
    But now, an unlikely hero emerges. Girafarig, renowned horse and Normal/Psychic type, has set out to unseat Arceus in the Horse Council and restore the glory of his types once and for all. Can he succeed in his quest, or will he fall to the machinations of Old Money and Iron Mugulis? Is Magcargo, the new horse on block, a crucial ally or a bitter enemy?

    Exeggutor makes a legitimate argument in favor of being the single most nerfed Pokémon in history. Pretty much every change made to Pokémon has made Exeggutor worse in every generation since its inception.
    Gen 2: Dark and Steel-Types added to the game, Pursuit added to the game, Celebi introduced to the series, Spikes added to the game, Sleep status nerfed, base Special Defense nerfed
    Gen 3: Tyranitar’s Sand Stream makes Chlorophyll hard to use, Spikes buffed, Sleep was nerfed again
    Gen 4: U-Turn added to the game, Stealth Rock added to the game (notably, Celebi learns this)
    Gen 5: Explosion nerfed, certain other Psychic-Types gained Magic Guard, Sleep moves banned from OU post-modern Gen 5
    Gen 6: Chlorophyll indirectly nerfed via the Drought nerf, Grass-Types gain immunity to Sleep Powder, Hidden Power base power nerfed, Knock Off base power buffed, no Mega, Fairy-Types give Psychic-Types of a reason to be used (at least it gained a tiny bit of Special Defense back…?)
    Gen 7: Okay honestly Gen 7 didn’t hurt Exeggutor very much, and it likes Grassy and Psychic Surge’s additions as well as an Alolan form; that being said it dislikes the other two terrains and struggles with Z-Moves somewhat
    Gen 8: Grassy and Psychic Terrain nerfed, Heavy-Duty Boots improves viability for all of Fire, Ice, Bug, and Flying-Types while simultaneously increasing Knock Off usage
    Gen 9: Snow replaces Hail as another weather option, Tera makes it so other Pokémon can change into any Type that beats Exeggutor (which is several) or as a Grass-Type if only to block Sleep Powder

    • @bdt2002gaming
      @bdt2002gaming 5 місяців тому

      I agree, but I feel like Bug is in contention here too. Starting in Gen 6, Bug is tied with Grass for having the worst offensive matchup spread at 3-7, and while U-Turn is a great move in its own right, the actual Bug-Type Pokémon exist alongside Fire and Ice as one of only three Types with a Stealth Rock weakness and vulnerability to Spikes, as Flying is immune to Spikes.

    1:11:50 it was not only due to the change to Speed mechanics, but also because Mega Metagross destroys all Tapus, while simultaneously benefitting immensely from each of their Terrains:
    - Electric Terrain boosts the power of its Thunder Punch, which let it easily break previous checks such as Slowbro
    - Psychic Terrain boosts its Zen Headbutt, and also protects it from otherwise dangerous Sucker Punches
    - Grassy Terrain weakens EQs directed at it, making it even harder to revenge-kill
    - Misty Terrain prevents it from being crippled by paralysis or burn

    2. Immune to Confusion from certain moves (Swagger, Flatter, etc)
    3. Priority and switching moves deal 1/2 damage to Psychics.

    Idk if this is a controversial opinion or not but i actually think in Gen 10 Steel should lose it's resistance to Psychic and maybe regain it's resistance to either Dark or Ghost.

    Shadow Shield is actually a superior version of Multiscale. As many of us know, Mold Breaker-like abilities can ignore the effects of Multiscale, but they cannot pierce Shadow Shield.

    Psychic IS a good move for Mewtwo in gen1 Ubers, but it’s actually kinda hard to slot in a lot of the time. With the Amnesia set you generally want Ice Beam and Thunderbolt along with Recover…this isn’t the one all be all set but I kinda feel like it’s probably the best

    I remember in school battling with a cable (because wifi and bluetooth werent a thing) and my freind group banned the move Psychic because on Alakazam it just felt auto kill playing Yellow/Gold. Then recently one of my freinds one hit ko'd my Alakazam with a Clefable in Sword and it hurt my soul how far it felt it had fallen.

    Psychic should resist fairy, in my opinion. The type hasn't been Overpowered since gen 1, and even then, normal type was the best type in the game.

    With how weak the type is now, it's a wonder how psychics didn't go extinct. They must be breeding like Rattata.
    6:21 It remembers everything according to its Pokedex descriptions, so it makes sense that it's just plain incapable of forgetting things.

  • @EarselBill-bi4xr
    @EarselBill-bi4xr 4 місяці тому

    Yep, this type definitely had the biggest drop in viability. Most good psychics in Gen2 and beyond are mostly good because of their secondary type, and it just got worse from there lol

    Makes a meh type better, makes psychic more relevant and make fairy a little weaker. Maybe its not that easy but I think it'd be neat

    I seriously think one day Alakazam will have its moment in gen 3 OU. Calm mind plus decent elemental coverage, encore, knock off, trick + high speed, decent ability, insane speed and special attack. Obviously Ttar makes it 10x worse in the game but yea surely Alakazam can do something. Psychic type kinds nueters it.
