I wished it worked that way. Turn 1: Initiate. Turn 2: Loaf. Turn 3: Execute. That way, a Truant Durant can be slightly better, being able to avoid being hit for 2-3 turns rather than 1-2. Of course, only slightly, cuz a competent opponent can just setup or use Earthquake or something. And why teach Durant Dig?
With Comatose, Komala is effectively always asleep, meaning it can use Sleep Talk whenever it likes. A bizarre niche strategy can involve using Sleep Talk with Choice Band to somewhat circumvent the choice lock.
6:28 Klutz is actually a great ability for collecting items. My Swoobat (with Klutz) knows Thief and I go around stealing held items from wild Pokémon to give to my own Pokémon. When Swoobat steals single-use items like berries, I don't have to worry about her using up the item before I can take it from her. This makes collecting items from wild Pokémon so much more efficient. I love Klutz.
The fact that genderless pokémon can learn attract is still the funniest thing to me Like, imagine two pokémon fighting aight, and a solaroc tries super hard to use attract while his opponents just looks at him and thinks "yup. That ... sure is a rock, I suppose"
One time, when I was fighting my Sister in my Ultra Sun and her Ultra Moon, she used her starter Decidueye, she made it hold Decidium Z and she actually used it on my Shedinja with Focus Sash and she realised that it's a Mistake like she scream like this "Okay, I'll use the Z-Move, wait, is Shedinja holding a Focus Sash? NO, I MADE A MISTAKE!" And she didn't take one HP from my Shedinja because of Focus Sash, she was pretty frustrated ngl lol.
Another one is Mud Sport on Ground-type Pokemon. It weakens Electric-type attacks... except, well, Ground-types are immune to electric attacks. I guess it's usable in double battles, but it's still next to useless.
@@PrinceDinoboy however. Some grass has “chlorophyll” that sharply boosts speed in sunlight and also negates 2-turn solar beam/blade. Not to mention boosts synthesis recovery amongst others.
game: "Cryogonal wants to learn Attract. However, it cannot know more than 4 moves at once. Forget a move and replace it with Attract?" me: "yeahhhhhh no"
I understand Mew learning Attract since, since it can typically learn ANY move that can be taught VIA TM or Move Tutor, provided the move isn't something super specific like the Starter Exclusives or Draco Meteor, but Attract is a TM in most games... so it makes sense that such an oversight could happen Cryoganal, Minior and Dhelmise on the other hand... not sure how that happened
My theory is that those Pokémon might have been originally supposed to have a gender, but they ended up genderless in the final product, and by oversight the devs forgot to remove Attract from their move list.
Eelektross with magnet rise does have a cool use though. If you can skill swap wonder guard onto it after it uses magnet rise, it retains its lack of a weakness, making it so all actual attacks don’t work on it.
You can't skill swap Wonder Guard. It's one of those abilities that cannot be copied or replaced, like Battle Bond on Ash-Greninja, Stance Change on Aegislash, Disguise on Mimikyu, Shields Down on Minior, etc.
You unfortunately can't skill swap it, if it were that easy it would be broken so they thought ahead with that one. Doesn't mean there are no more convoluted and difficult to pull of ways of doing it though. You can use the trace method for opponents and the entertainment method for double battles. You can get sturdy on it with mummy iirc.
@@greninjamastergabe6452 true. But there is one strat in double battle where you have shedinja use mimic on a Pokémon that used entrainment(move that gives the targeted Pokémon the user’s ability) and give wonder guard to a arcanine that has used burn up(loses fire type) so it doesn’t have weaknesses. Also use safeguard to not have status conditions
fun fact, shedninja can actually use rest in mystery dungeon due to he having more hp, and also the ability to increase it's max hp thanks to berries and seeds
There are more useless moves for it in the main games, such as Substitute, which fails, Sandstorm, which kills Shedinja, and Bide, which prevents him from moving for the two subsequent turns.
@@redactedvamp7031 One of the things about Shedninja I never knew about was that it had 1 hp I knew it wasn't too good of a Pokemon but, damn. That's pretty painful you could die by literally any move. Come to think of it in that way Shedninja is more useless than Magikarp!

@Harry Haywood it weakens the effects of electric moves, which isn't _inherently_ useless, until you realize that 90% of the pokemon who can learn it are ground types
@@xatuyou8045 it can, that's true! however, if you have a mon who knows mud sport, and you're in a situation where there's electric type attacks to weaken in the first place, you're probably better served by just attacking outright-double battles are rare outside of competitive, and again, most of the pokemon that learn it are ground types. there are situations where its use might be relevant, but they're so niche as to be effectively negligible, especially when considering how many better avenues of approach there are. why have your mudsdale spend its turn covering your gyarados' weakness when you could just swap it out for a less vulnerable mon? or just remove the electric type threat in the first place? or have the threatened mon boost its own defenses with a more widely-applicable move? it's not useless, per se, but it might as well be pointless considering how easily its application is made redundant
@@elijahlorenzo6363 It makes levelling boring and the games super easy. Nowadays people like me, who want a challenge, can't have a fun one in Pokemon games. The only actually challenging one I can think of is a Nuzlocke, but those give anxiety. Pokemon games are really easy, 95% of their players actually *grind* in Pokemon games, something that has *never* been required. I found a ROM hack called Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire, they give the kind of challenge I want.
Synchronoise is a move and Synchronize is an ability, I actually always confuse Synchronoise (the move) with Future Sight, since they are both Psychic type moves with 120 base power
Here’s a strategy I learned from Piers: Give a Malamar with the Contrary the move Superpower. Contrary is an ability that have the opposite effect of whatever stat change you give it. Superpower usually would lower Attack and Defense, but with a Contrary Malamar, it raises it Attack and Defense instead. Life lesson for you today people. You’re welcome.
I feel like its worth pointing out that while Truant pokemon can't use two turn moves that hit on the second turn, they're great for two turn moves that hit on the first. Hyper beam, giga impact, etc... You hit like a freight train and then on the recharge turn you're loafing around anyway, and then you can do it again.
@@gengarzilla1685 Well, you rarely need to switch out in the actual campaigns, and you probably aren't going to be using Slaking in the first place in competitive battles or special battle facilities. Even if you do feel like you may need to switch out in the campaigns, or you're using a niche double battle strategy involving moving Truant to the opponent, there are still three other move slots available, plus TMs like Giga Impact can be replaced with other TMs at will starting in Gen 5.
Well, in Mew's defence, it IS the cutest Pokemon. Well, that's debatable I guess, but it's definitely one of the cuter Pokemon. You figure that if Pokemon were real, it would work quite often as a defence mechanism (since while Mew is quite strong, it doesn't really seem very keen on actually fighting). It can also use transform, so presumably it could alter its pheromones to work on its target, regardless of its gender. It's one of those cases where something logically should work, but doesn't due to arbitrary game mechanics.
until you Rember it was released in a gen were the spe/phy split was not a thing and normal was all physical including hyperbeem witch has the recharge on the turn were the user is loffing :)
The anime messed up on that, though, as Ash had to beat the world's only Truant-less Slakoth and Slaking (along with Vigoroth) to win his gym battle against Norman.
I had no idea Role Play was a move until some random Kadabra used it during my Sapphire Nuzlocke. I was speeding up the game so Role Play just kind of popped up on the text box for a few seconds and then my Flygon killed the Kadabra. So I didn't get a chance to find out what it does until I saw this video and you explained it so that helped!
@@capitald4426 Oh, my bad. It's because in other games it's usually health points, so i thought it would be health points in pokemon too. Thanks for letting me know!
You should do an opposite of this next, like what Moves are amazing with a specific poémon, like Burn Up on Arcanine, Arcanine loses its fire-type making it "typeless" giving it no weakness.
There's a disadvantage to Burn Up on fire types. They will no longer get STAB from fire type moves, reducing those moves' power to 2/3 of their usual power with STAB.
Slakoth can learn sunny day at level 13, so at least you wouldn't have to wait for a drought to use solar beam. Although I suppose the flip side is that you have to use an extra turn to use sunny day first.🙄
J B substitute deals 25% of the users hp, shedinja has 1 hp, therefore shedinja will instantly die when he uses it. As for rest I’m assuming they just had insomnia or something
Michael: *Umbreon can’t use Synchronoise* Floor Tentacles: *Dark Type* Umbreon: *Only having Synchronoise* THE FLOOR TENTACLES ARE STILL DROWNING ME!!!!
There is something I love about Shedinja. It has some Defense and Sp.Defense stats. Which are useless when you have 1 HP. Therefore its base stats total is quite a lie.
These stats are for the purpose of Transform. Its Defense would also help if it uses Body Press. Though I do not think it can use that move, also not sure if it can use it through Mimic/Copycat/other similar moves.
There are moves like transform or guard swap that actually make Def/spdef matter, hence why it doesn't just have 1/1/1 + offense/speed. HP is ok since the guard swaps don't care about HP and transform doesn't take HP into account.
@@geometryemperor Oh yeah, Transform doesn't affect the user's HP stat, so using a Ditto (especially an Imposter Ability Ditto) against Shedinja would be awesome!
Some of them technically do have genders but due to lack of research on them, their gender is actually unknown. This is pretty much the case with most of the legendaries. They probably do have a gender but the reasoning behind it not being there is due to lack of understanding and research of the pokemon since it's rare. Others clearly have no gender at all for obvious reasons since animate objects have no genders
@ 8:38 In his X Wedlocke Marriland had a Shiny Slurpuff he named Cocoa. He used her on his team after one of his Pokémon died in the Double Battle outside Reflection Cave. In Reflection Cave when battling the Black Belt that has Sawk, Marriland became concerned due to how much damage Cocoa was taking from Sawk’s Retaliate. He tried using Rest to heal Cocoa, but of course, this didn’t work as Cocoa had Sweet Veil as her Ability. It’s actually a really comedic moment that Marriland even laughed about for not realizing what was wrong.
Fun fact, Air Lock still removes the effects of super weather so you can still kill a primal groudon with rayquaza(or Golduck with Cloudnine) with a water type move
Corrections: Shadow Tag does not work on other pokemon with Shadow Tag, but Mean Look does! Therefore, if you're facing a Shadow Tag pokemon, you can still trap it using Mean Look. If a pokemon with a super-weather ability faints or is switched out, that super-weather disappears, but other super-weathers aren't set up automatically, therefore allowing a super-weather-pokemon to be on the field without a super-weather, which allows Sunny Day or Rain Dance to be used.
Oh yeah, that change to Shadow Tag was made to stop most Wobbuffet vs. Wobbuffet stalemates that took forever to end with Struggle, although that will still happen if both trainers are down to their final Pokémon, which is why no in-game trainer uses just a Wobbuffet. Isn't that second part an unconventional exception?
Shedinja final gambit may be near useless but image your opponent is at one hp, I feel that would be one frickin giga Chad way to finish off that pokemon
@@danielnice5213 That's fair, I might test that to see. Though it would make sense if Run Away had priority. Edit: Run Away has priority! If you're facing a Shadow Tag opponent in the wild, Run Away will allow you to successfully flee!

@@elijahlorenzo6363 It makes levelling boring and the games super easy. Nowadays people like me, who want a challenge, can't have a fun one in Pokemon games. The only actually challenging one I can think of is a Nuzlocke, but those give anxiety.
Pokemon games are really easy, 95% of their players actually *grind* in Pokemon games, something that has *never* been required.
I found a ROM hack called Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire, they give the kind of challenge I want.
When he said syncronoise I thought it was a botched pronounciation of sycronize
I mean, synchronoise is a move and synchronize is an ability so it's fair to mix them up often
Well, he did botch ‘truant’..
Synchronoise is a move and Synchronize is an ability, I actually always confuse Synchronoise (the move) with Future Sight, since they are both Psychic type moves with 120 base power
I was annoyed when I heard it, but then I read the word
Here’s a strategy I learned from Piers:
Give a Malamar with the Contrary the move Superpower. Contrary is an ability that have the opposite effect of whatever stat change you give it. Superpower usually would lower Attack and Defense, but with a Contrary Malamar, it raises it Attack and Defense instead. Life lesson for you today people. You’re welcome.
Libra Werewolf that strategy is ancient lol
Lilbro291 Gaming: Oh... I guess I’m uncultured...
Everyone knows this strategy. Serperior with Contrary and leaf storm does the same thing but with Special attack
@@librawerewolf103 its a viable strategy, just very, VERY old
Youtub: Really? I had no idea... this is what happens when someone like me starts Pokémon by playing Pokémon Y in 2017...
I feel like its worth pointing out that while Truant pokemon can't use two turn moves that hit on the second turn, they're great for two turn moves that hit on the first. Hyper beam, giga impact, etc... You hit like a freight train and then on the recharge turn you're loafing around anyway, and then you can do it again.
The only downside is that you cannot switch out on the recharge turn.
Yep. 99.99999% of people forget this one very crucial flaw.
@@gengarzilla1685 Well, you rarely need to switch out in the actual campaigns, and you probably aren't going to be using Slaking in the first place in competitive battles or special battle facilities.
Even if you do feel like you may need to switch out in the campaigns, or you're using a niche double battle strategy involving moving Truant to the opponent, there are still three other move slots available, plus TMs like Giga Impact can be replaced with other TMs at will starting in Gen 5.
Michael: useless moves
Me: expects splash
Sees video NUNI
What about block during a trainer battle
*nani
Lol how did he forget splash
Mario kart player 200 it prevents the trainer from switching, so it still does something. (Something that can be semi useful in certain situations)
It's situations where moves are useless, not useless moves like that...

I have 2 thinks

second: another useless move on shedinja is sandstorm
It's not useless, it's just a bad idea
@@zirzeus2645 OK yeah that's right
@@BnoBie there is an Item that negates weather damage theoretically
It's also useless on Sandaconda because of its Sand Spit ability.
@@DrRank bruh if the other Pokémon uses a weather move
Well, in Mew's defence, it IS the cutest Pokemon. Well, that's debatable I guess, but it's definitely one of the cuter Pokemon. You figure that if Pokemon were real, it would work quite often as a defence mechanism (since while Mew is quite strong, it doesn't really seem very keen on actually fighting). It can also use transform, so presumably it could alter its pheromones to work on its target, regardless of its gender.
It's one of those cases where something logically should work, but doesn't due to arbitrary game mechanics.
Yeah MEW IS CUTE ATTRACT WOULD WORK ON ME AND IM NOT A POKEMON

I am always happy when Norman has pokemon that has the ability where his slacking (I probably spelled it wrong) can’t use a move twice in a row 😊
until you Rember it was released in a gen were the spe/phy split was not a thing and normal was all physical including hyperbeem witch has the recharge on the turn were the user is loffing :)
The anime messed up on that, though, as Ash had to beat the world's only Truant-less Slakoth and Slaking (along with Vigoroth) to win his gym battle against Norman.

I had no idea Role Play was a move until some random Kadabra used it during my Sapphire Nuzlocke. I was speeding up the game so Role Play just kind of popped up on the text box for a few seconds and then my Flygon killed the Kadabra. So I didn't get a chance to find out what it does until I saw this video and you explained it so that helped!
"If genderless pokemon use attract it will always fail" what a mood

You should do an opposite of this next, like what Moves are amazing with a specific poémon, like Burn Up on Arcanine, Arcanine loses its fire-type making it "typeless" giving it no weakness.
There's a disadvantage to Burn Up on fire types. They will no longer get STAB from fire type moves, reducing those moves' power to 2/3 of their usual power with STAB.
I like how the ONLY reason Durant was given Truant is because it has the word "ant" in it.
Slakoth can learn sunny day at level 13, so at least you wouldn't have to wait for a drought to use solar beam.
Although I suppose the flip side is that you have to use an extra turn to use sunny day first.🙄
Shedinja with substitute tho, it literally kills it
Shedinja can successfully execute substitute??
Mi Les yep

Wait how does substitute kill it?
J B substitute deals 25% of the users hp, shedinja has 1 hp, therefore shedinja will instantly die when he uses it. As for rest I’m assuming they just had insomnia or something

There is something I love about Shedinja.
It has some Defense and Sp.Defense stats.
Which are useless when you have 1 HP.
Therefore its base stats total is quite a lie.
These stats are for the purpose of Transform. Its Defense would also help if it uses Body Press. Though I do not think it can use that move, also not sure if it can use it through Mimic/Copycat/other similar moves.
@@geometryemperor they also apply for Guard Swap and the potential that you baton pass Shedinja behind a Subtitute
There are moves like transform or guard swap that actually make Def/spdef matter, hence why it doesn't just have 1/1/1 + offense/speed. HP is ok since the guard swaps don't care about HP and transform doesn't take HP into account.
@@youtube-kit9450 just use a cheat code to hack its healthbar to get out of the 1-bit healthbar
@@geometryemperor Oh yeah, Transform doesn't affect the user's HP stat, so using a Ditto (especially an Imposter Ability Ditto) against Shedinja would be awesome!
Michael: This video is sponsered by...
Me: Oh gosh it’s Raid
Michael: Hustle Castle
Me: not raid but i still dont care
Raid Shadow legends is pay to win, that's way they asking UA-camrs to sponsor them
Genderless pokemon: I just want to be in love why I can't be happy
Me: aww don't be sad is not your fault that you have no gender
Well... yes.
Some of them technically do have genders but due to lack of research on them, their gender is actually unknown. This is pretty much the case with most of the legendaries. They probably do have a gender but the reasoning behind it not being there is due to lack of understanding and research of the pokemon since it's rare. Others clearly have no gender at all for obvious reasons since animate objects have no genders

@ 8:38 In his X Wedlocke Marriland had a Shiny Slurpuff he named Cocoa. He used her on his team after one of his Pokémon died in the Double Battle outside Reflection Cave. In Reflection Cave when battling the Black Belt that has Sawk, Marriland became concerned due to how much damage Cocoa was taking from Sawk’s Retaliate. He tried using Rest to heal Cocoa, but of course, this didn’t work as Cocoa had Sweet Veil as her Ability. It’s actually a really comedic moment that Marriland even laughed about for not realizing what was wrong.

*EPIC UMBREON SYNCHRONISE SWEEP*
Michael needs to see that sweep
Fun fact, Air Lock still removes the effects of super weather so you can still kill a primal groudon with rayquaza(or Golduck with Cloudnine) with a water type move
Michael: Greetings Pokéfans! Auto-Generated English captions: Gouri dings weekend’s
Corrections:
Shadow Tag does not work on other pokemon with Shadow Tag, but Mean Look does! Therefore, if you're facing a Shadow Tag pokemon, you can still trap it using Mean Look.
If a pokemon with a super-weather ability faints or is switched out, that super-weather disappears, but other super-weathers aren't set up automatically, therefore allowing a super-weather-pokemon to be on the field without a super-weather, which allows Sunny Day or Rain Dance to be used.
Oh yeah, that change to Shadow Tag was made to stop most Wobbuffet vs. Wobbuffet stalemates that took forever to end with Struggle, although that will still happen if both trainers are down to their final Pokémon, which is why no in-game trainer uses just a Wobbuffet.
Isn't that second part an unconventional exception?
mew used attract. a incineroar that is flexing : i feel offended a random caterpie right outside the galar border : dies
Shedinja final gambit may be near useless but image your opponent is at one hp, I feel that would be one frickin giga Chad way to finish off that pokemon

after the shadow tag portion, it makes me wonder about a battle with one with shadow tag and the other that had run away.. which one takes priority?
Good question
well I would think it would be run away as it states it makes it flee ALL of the time
@@danielnice5213 That's fair, I might test that to see. Though it would make sense if Run Away had priority. Edit: Run Away has priority! If you're facing a Shadow Tag opponent in the wild, Run Away will allow you to successfully flee!
