Counter argument: these pokemon are rare because they suck at surviving.
i like that sound of that XD
That's actually the cannon reason for most of them being rare. Farfetched specifically was eaten to near extinction. By humans.
A NATIONS STRENGTH.
The actual Combined Level or Power or Something of a Pokemon-Region and therefore its actual theoretical Military Might.
This is literally something i see non-covered by all of
the Poke-Tubers.
Its not covered on UA-cam??
Same for 'Goverments - do they even exist
in Pokemon?'!
@@slevinchannel7589 Based on Sword and Shield, they do. However, it seems that the government is either run by a company or the champion, depending on the region. For example, the League seems to run Johto and Kanto, but Rose's company runs Galar.
That explains Farfetch'd
Dunsparce better not be on this list.
hi
Yup
Why do I feel like it will
How are did you make it here so fast but true
Click off before it's too late
Farfetched's rarity can be explained with lore, Farfetched's backstory is actually pretty sad, it was common a while ago but because it was delicious people hunted them to almost extinction.
I wish kanto farfetchd could evolve into sirfetchd

Deliborg
Iron bundle.(actually there is a robot delibird)😅
Delibird is also one of the few wild Pokémon in Johto that was given the “Flee” mechanic, meaning it can run away from you if you encounter it in the wild. I spent *hours* trying to catch one as a kid, but between its low encounter rate, low catch rate and willingness to flee, I never managed it. I never knew mean look existed back then
RIP
so…
um….
were you able to catch a delibird??
@@george9371 you can..be kinda like abra most of the time they just gonna flee away,try using different types and pokeball and pray to Arceus that you manage to get it,i once catch them for pvp in my school but turns out it is the first to faint
@@KetoCommander I've been FireRed on my phone and I take advantage of the GBA apps quick save feature whenever I'm trying to catch a rare or prone to fleeing pokemon. If things go wrong I just reset back to my last save point.
The Fast Ball Works Better On Pokemon That Can Run Away In Johto.
Mikey: 20 Pokémon that you shouldn't catch
Goh: *and I took this personally*
Farfetched in yellow is actually strong cuz it has swords dance i used one and my farfetched was OP
IKR. I had a hard time watching Pokemon Journeys because Ash was just left out.
Ash never got a chance to catch anything until Episode 10.
Lol
He specifically said that it was ok catching them for the Pokedex, which is Goh`s goal
I used a farfetched in a random gen 1 team in pkkemon showdown, it was pretty good
That's hilarious that Delibird is only found in Ice Path. My first time playing Soul Silver I was rushing to fight Claire and my first encounter was a shiny Delibird. My first shiny ever
pppp
Dude ur luck is GODLY
I shiny hunted via masuda method for a delibird when I was a kid and I got one.
😯😯😯😯😯
I got Shiny Giratina through internet
I kind of get Johto having so many weak Pokemon, since it's treated more like an expansion of Kanto rather than a completely different region. Almost every Kanto Pokemon is available in Johto, and for the most part, Kanto Pokemon are gonna make up a majority of your Johto playthrough team. The same is true for other prominent Johto trainers.
I headcanon that Johto was once a colony of Kanto, and was called "New Kanto".
My original teams on HeartGold & SoulSilver were all Johto Pokemon
HeartGold
Feraligatr
Noctowl
Ampharos
Magcargo (obtained as an Egg in Violet City from Primo and hatched into Slugma)
Ariados
Steelix
SoulSilver
Typhlosion
Noctowl
Ampharos
Politoed
Hitmontop
Sunflora
Its probably because GSC were gonna be the last games in Pokemon
Very true
Though I NEVER EVER see people defending Diamond, Pearl or Platinum but when obvious flaws about any other Generation are pointed out jump to the rescue...🤣🤣🤣
Physical Special Split, Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes, making useless unevolved Gen 2 Mons finally usable (Gligar -> Gliscor; Yanma -> Yanmega; Murkrow -> Honchkrow; Misdreavus -> Mismagius)
Still, it's all good, hating on Gen 4 seems to be a past time for most people...🤣🤣🤣
Anyways, yes they actually planned to discontinue the franchise or game series with and after Gen 2 so what you're saying makes a lot of sense!
Gen 2 has MANY flaws but that's why we love it and Pokémon❤❤❤
But if people get that and why Hoenn has so many water routes...
Then why don't people get Sinnoh not having many Fire Types as the very cold northernmost region of Japan, Hokkaido...?
People really hate on Gen 4 a lil too much.
Fun Fact about Chimecho: It was the VERY LAST Pokémon programmed into Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire even after Jirachi and Deoxys. Its so forgettable they almost forgot to program it into the game. I think thats why its in 1 area at a 2% encounter rate.
yep, at the top of mt pyre
I thought chimeco was a gen 4 pokemon!
@@Dingobabee what I don't get is why it got a baby form. I made my own fake Pokemon before and made a fake chimecho evolution called winchime. I made it gain the steel type because of the design concept was a windchime🎐.
Imagine it being found at the Victory Road.
@@hunterpikachu1763 that's an interesting concept actually. Idk if steel would be the best fitting (kinda trespassing on bronzong's shtick) but maybe Farie type instead to emphasize its musical, magical abilities? Would become interesting in having Levitate giving it 2 immunities, good stab and interesting utility.
Alternate title: Mikey raging at the ridiculous balancing of Johto
I really don't get how gen 2 is so beloved with these glaring issues
@@AD-tj4jc Exactly i hate gen 2 so much it is not worth playing at all. It is basically kanto but easier and more weak pokemon
@@pikasup1696 get 2 remakes r awesome
@@AD-tj4jc
I think the pokemon fans love the Remake, Not the original Gold and Silver.
Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver are a fun games well for me. After i beat the elite four and the champion, i didn't know there was a Postgame.
And also I love Heracross.
Maybe it's because I did not grow out with HGSS, but I don't feel the same. The remakes don't fix any of the problems from the originals. Level curve is still horrible and half the new pokemon are in Kanto.
For the Johto swarm pokemon, it's even worse when you consider how to activate them in the first place. You had to have a specific trainer register on your pokegear then have to wait for them to call you and tell you about the swarm that would last until the next day.
Just as stupid was it that you got next to no evo items in GSC aside from I think the bug catching contest and in crystal, specific trainers calling you.
Misdreavus might not be the best pokemon but it will always have a place in my heart because of a certain spinoff... "It Doesn't Affect MISDREAVUS"
Gruntyboy: Steals Some if Mikey’s stuff
Mikey: “UGH, well anyway”

@@fernandabomfim27Congratulations you won the stupid award
That's what Bulbasaur says when Squirtle interrupts the intro
Alternative title for the video: Michael trashing Jotho pokedex.
Edit: Johto
Tbh johto dex deserves to br trashtalked.
Especially the cindaquil line. Their stats are 1:1 copied from the charmander line
(I still love cindaquill and johto, but the region oberall is incredible weak, you have countless better kanto options in the game, the gym leaders mostly dont even use jotho pokemon and the level curve is terribly designed)
JOTHO = JOHTO
Micheal being a competitive player to a casual player for 28 minutes
The dex was generally garbage. One of the core cool things in Pokemon is to work up a guy and evolve. See what you get. This gen had so many random no evo guys that had no point. I think babies did (and still) have no point. Just dumb gen
Jo tho
I really like that the rare Pokemon are a mix of strong and weak. It makes the world feel a lot more real and gives it some character. How would it make sense that all of the rare Pokemon are also very good at battling?
What Farfetch'd has going for it in Kanto, and what I think helps make sense of its location, is that it can learn both Cut and Fly. This is the point in the game that you will be getting both of those.
I forgot about that way to go Dux!
Sword dance mfers
fun fact wobbufett 's name in japanese means thats right, so every time when he pops out of jessie's pokeball to say thats right it tends to be after ash or his friends mock team rocket and wobbufett agrees with them
That also means that when Meowth says "Meowth ! That's right !", he's agreeing with him.
That makes so much sense when I remember some dialog in the show.
99% sure it actually means "That's the way it is" as a reference to a Japanese comedian.
In german its name is Woingenau which translates to" where exatly?"
Also, in French his name is Qulbutoké, which is a joke with a Culbuto and Oké, so he just always answer ok.
Mikey: Castform isn't worth using
Also Mikey: Beats ORAS with only Castform
He only did that cause he loves it

and that’s just “Hell Yea” but with the word hail, why hail? Castform Hail Form.
Sadly Castform doesn't get much love
Also Pokémon Challenge players: Beats Pokémon with any Pokémon on this list
Makes a lot of sense since it is a challenge
Hericy.
I used Cherrim for my bdsp playthrough, and honestly she really came through and helped me with the Cynthia fight. That sunny day and solar beam combo was great
Same, I used Cherrim in my Pokémon BDSP Soul Link Nuzlocke with a friend of mine (he played Brilliant Diamond, I played Shining Pearl) paired with his Roserade (we nicknamed them both “Blossom”) and she actually put in work despite me already also using Torterra (paired with his Empoleon, our starters)
As unbalanced and janky as gen 2 is, I will still always love it. Crystal was the first pokemon game I ever played, so it's special place in my heart will always remain
To add insult to injury, even after Murkrow and Misdreavus were made available before beating the League in HG/SS, you still couldn’t use them in a Johto playthrough since the Dusk Stone wasn’t obtainable until after getting the National Dex.
I’d still use them in HGSS. I like Misdreavus more than Mismagius and Murkrow is perfectly fine on its own even before the evolution.
The best part is that the dusk stone is in Cerulean cave. A place you can't access until you beat all the Kanto leaders.
Surely you can use Pick Up?
Most stones are really difficult to get in Johto. My last SoulSilver game, I beat the league with a vulpix and a weepinbell. HG/SS are great games, but their flaws are kinda annoying.
@@Fizzypopjimmi you can also get one in the Pokeathalon Dome once you beat the league. Still annoying but not THAT annoying

I still don't understand why alomomola isn't the evolution of luvdisc.
I thought it was when I was younger
@@Repook we all did
Agreed
There are two reasons why alomomola isn’t the evolution of Luvdisc. First, the out-of-universe meta explanation, which is that Gen V was dedicated as a sort of soft-reboot of the series and has lots of design counterparts between it and the previous four generations, such as Trubbish and Grimer/Koffing (Trash/pollution), Jellicent and Tentacruel (jellyfish), and Purrloin/Meowth/Skitty (cats but make them feral). Luvdisc and Alomomola both play into the same archetype of sunfish. In-universe, they evolved convergently. Convergent evolution is when a single trait (e.g. wings) appears in multiple unrelated ways (insect wings vs bird wings vs bat wings). Clearly Alomomola and Luvdisc both derive some sort of ecological benefit from being pink and heart shaped in their environment.
The obvious conspiracy response is that they forgot Luvdisc existed when they were designed Alomomola.
@@eledile8766 you are so smart thank you!
Back when I was a kid playing either Silver or Crystal, I saw in a Pokédex entry that Lapras was over hunted so they were close to extinction. So I decided to breed so many of them, only to just release them. I truly thought I was going to be able to save them lol
Good news, you may actually have lol. The Moon and Ultra Moon entries state that due to protective measures and people cherishing them, the Lapras population has risen dramatically. 😊
That legit is so kind with kid logic
I always liked how they managed Farfetched in the Kanto games. You trade it for a Spearow, so immediately it’s more powerful. However, if you would have just kept Spearow & trained it, it would become a Fearow, which is significantly stronger then Farfetcted. I always took it as the games way of saying “give stuff a chance before you get rid of it for a quick power buff, because in the long run it will be more helpful.” Essentially, it said you need to put in effort if you want the better option. I always liked that message, even if it wasn’t intentional.
*THERE SHOULD BE ONLY ONE E IN FARFETCH'D!*
Mikey: Wobbuffet has no practical battle use.
Competitive battlers in gen 3 and 4: *sad sweaty noises*
Wobbuffet is STILL good in singles. Mikeys wrong on this one, but he usually considers this stuff for playthroughs only .
Not competitive, but I remember Wobbuffet being my MVP when I first faced the E4 in SS, despite it being 20 levels lower than the rest of my team. I will always respect Wobbuffet.
@@cillianstewart9441 yeah it’s insane and super underrated
@@ColgatetheTogekiss Well, Wobuffet is a double-edged sword. It can be very useful in Nuzlocke but it is also very hard to use and, definitely not for the people who are impatient
Im on the same board as Mikey cuz while Wob is fun for competitive, it's not fun for playthrough and really worth if you just want to do a regular playthrough unless you want to mess with it for fun

#8 Dunsparce...
When I was younger, I thought it evolved into Gligar. I had an obsession with only catching base forms, and never catching evolved forms, because the anime made me feel that I'd have a better bond with pokemon
I leveled that Dunsparce, ignoring my friends who said it doesn't evolve, until I eventually either gave up or found out online
I wanna laugh but I can't cuz i would do the exact same thing lol
@@st0ne559 you should laugh, it's funny. We're laughing together not maliciously
Damn I did that also I cried when i finally got it to lvl 100 and it didn't evolve so I looked it up online and that's when I found out also did the same thing with Shuckle sadly.... my childhood was filled with 😞
Mannn I just caught one last night
Catcher of base form pokemon? Very swag
When it comes to wobbuffet, I really enjoy battling using the gimmick, but shadow tag makes it annoying to face with the gimmick. It makes total sense that they didn't want you to constantly battle them and lose members constantly in a cave and have to backtrack every time you lose to one if you are like me and like to run back to heal up
7:12 Sunkern is cute and Sunflora is one of my favorite grass types, and has helped me throughout my Johto playthroughs. Even helping me beat the league. So while yes it's stats are bad. It's still a really good grass type imo
I like the idea of weak and rare Pokémon. It's realistic as weaker animals are often facing extinction. I think it would fun if a few weak Pokémon were so rare, that the Pokédex didn't cover them, and the professor in the game was surprised about their existence. It would be a nice bit of lore if later games showed their numbers going up, do to breeding efforts to save them.
"Amazing [player], your ditto and it's poor tuckered dong have singlehandedly brought [pokemon] back from the brink of extinction. You deserve a reward." [player] received one full heal.
"Ah [player], there you are. There's no time to explain, your breeding effort has been too effective. We need to reduce the number of [pokemon]. I have three methods."
"So you would like to choose the brick on a chain?"
"So you would like to choose the baseball bat with a nail in it?"
"So you would like to choose the prison shiv?"

Imagine, somewhere in an alternate universe in the pokemon world there's an animal tuber making a video of the 20 rarest animals you should not catch. It's just not worth it for the animaldex.
Panda is exceedingly rare and difficult to breed, but they’re completely competitively outclassed by the more common Bear types Grizzly and Polar.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Blobfish are extremely rare animals, only found in deep waters near Australia & New Zealand. But are extremely weak and easily outclassed by nearly every other fish in the area.
Even with the law of infinite universes, I highly doubt that.
Red pandas are very rare but they are a bit worse than their much more common racoon variant
I hate how munchlax has such a low encounter rate because HE is a stupid hungry baby snorlax HOW IS IT RARE TO GET A MUNCHLAX? IT IS EXPECTED TO EAT EVERYTHING SO WHY IS IT NOT COMMON IN HONEY TREES DOES HE NOT EAT HONEY?
I’m Happy To Report In My Fictional Romare Region Castform Does Get A Buff! It’s Hail Form Gives It A 90 Base Attack Stat Instead Of 60, The Rain Form Gives Is A 90 Base Speed Stat, And The Sunny Form Gets A Base 90 Special Attack Stat. HAIL YEAH!
For anyone upset that Mikey put their favorite pokemon on this list: to be fair, he put in Castform too.
Castform is honestly pretty fun to use compared to literally every other Pokémon on this list. I legitimately put a Castform on my Hoenn team and it helped a lot.
Exactly! That just goes to show that a person’s favorite Pokémon is too rare to justify their rarity and isn’t worth using if you don’t care about that Pokémon.
This video in a nutshell: *Forget about these Pokémon if you don't care about the Dex*
or just evolve them, instead of trying to find an evolved pokemon in the wild (idk if theres any evolved pokemon on the list, im saying this before watching the video)
@@FlareToga76 most of these pokemon can't
Lmao very true
I just started my first Pokemon game and its platinum cuz sinnoh is my fav , and i found only 1 very rare Pokemon and its a shiny gligar
I feel like thats smushed in my brain
I love rare birds that arent that great at fighting. Like Farfetch’d and Moltres. Both make great pets though.
You're right, Delibird should not exist.
*...The temporal paradox variant on the other hand*
"Let's take a step back for a moment and look at Farfetch'd itself. Its Japanese name is made up of kamo (鴨 or カモ), meaning 'duck', and negi (葱 or ネギ), which refers to a variety of green onions."
"There is a second meaning to the phrase, however. A duck bearing a green onion is a creature walking naïvely towards a nasty fate, and the idiom has come to refer to individuals who are easy to deceive. One dictionary gives the meaning 'along comes a sucker just begging to be parted from his money'. As a result, somebody who is easy to take advantage of can be referred to in Japanese as a kamo (鴨) or 'duck'."
So it's intentionally meant as a joke, you were a fool to trade for Farfetch'd or easiliy taken advantage off.
- Bulbapedia
Joke's on the person that traded it as I can just go and catch another spearow but that person cannot catch another farfetched.
Not to insult or joke you tho, the resarch was good. Kudos!👍
But I used Farfetch'd my fireRed Elite four-
Solo challengers picking up Farfetch'd to have cut and fly on the same pokemon: *Joke's on you, nerd!*

I was surprised to see Porygon was not on this list at all. Granted, it does not meet both "rare" requirements, but with the grinding required to obtain Porygon, I thought it would at least be an honorable mention, like Munchlax.

Farfetched’s low encounter rate makes sense imo. Because to find a duck that already comes with a leek is quite rare, dare I say, farfetched.
Jokes aside, farfetched’ name and design is based on a Japanese expression that something is unlikely. So for it to have a low encounter rate keeps with the name.
Farfetch'd might not be worth it in gen 1, but in gen 6 it is an awesome team member. It gets Air Cutter at a low level, which in Kalos let's you get berries off trees. It also learns False Swipe by level up for easier catching, and can be used as your Fly Pokémon. Also is not hard to find. Definitely a good choice for any Kalos team.
"A duck comes bearing bunched onions" is the translated expression, and Farfetch'd's Japanese name, Kamonegi, is a shortened version of it.
@@spectralwiitch7544 thanks for clarification
Also lore wise, Farfetched's backstory is actually pretty sad, it was common a while ago but because it was delicious people hunted them to almost extinction.
@@xannyo12321 Exactly
In a minimal defense of Luvdisc, at least you don’t need to catch it to get the heart scale. Thief will work just fine so long as you remember to remove the scale each time you get one. Frisk will also help tell you if it’s even worth using Thief. So in terms of actually catching any, you just need one for the Dex entry if you’re so inclined.
10:05 fun fact, this is the Pokémon that took out Cynthias final Pokémon for me in brilliant diamond. Coco would’ve been taken out by the garchomp had it not been for the ridiculous friendship I had with it and the Shell Bell. Long story short I used fly because if Coco could take a hit from it or was faster somehow, I didn’t want her being taken out if the garchomp survived. She was not faster, but friendship allowed her to survive on one HP as she flew up and took it out without a friendship boost. It was low health so that contributes to how she took it out in one hit, but it does not change the fact that she was the one that won the championship in Sinnoh for me. So I have a respect for the murcrow
Why wasn’t it a honchkrow you can get a dusk stone before you can even obtain it
I personally think wobbofet is so rare because it can kill at least one Pokémon on your team so if it could pop up all the time it would be extremely difficult to make it through a cave
Makes sense
Eh, In HGSS maybe, but in regular Gold and Silver there's a button you can click called "Run".
There were no abilities in gen 2 tho
you get a free wynaut in gen 3, which evolves to wobbuffet
It's also got banned from OU and went to Uber tier because of one single broken ability. Shadow tag. Which locked your opponent out of the game and with mirror coat and counter shengains it could do some serious damage if you got trapped. Possibly costing you the match. It deserves to be rare.
Dunsparce is based on the
Tsukinoko a creature from japanese urban legends, it is said to be extremely rare leaving only its shed skin on the ground and sometimes "foot"prints. That can explain why Dunsparce is THAT rare
I liked dunsparce for rollout. I think I also had a belief at the time it would have a dragon evolution.

Yeah, in competitive. It's still stupidly rare, and it's stats don't justify that. Also, it only fit on stall teams, so yeah.
@@verximama828 I don't get why the rarity of a pokemon should be determined by its stats. If a Pokémon is rare, it's rare, no matter what.
@@verximama828 in all fairness though, generation 2 was THE stall generation, most competitive teams used curse sets and rest/sleep talk sets.
@@finmat95 But you generally assume that if it's rare it's worth it. Would you want to spend 6 hours waiting for honey tree pokemon only to then find out that they suck, again excluding Munchlax.
@@MultiWilliam25 Very fair
Chimecho was literally the last pokemon I needed to fill my dex in sapphire as a kid and I had no idea what pokemon I was missing or where to find it when I finally did I loved it so much I raised it to level 100
Yeah, it doesn't have any evolution at the time so you would have literally no idea what you were missing, and it wasn't hinted in the game either since it's literally the last Pokemon added in the game even after Jirachi and Deoxys.
@@RGC_animation now imagine that it was only found at the victory road.
@@ethantreadway9478 It is literally only found in one single patch of grass lol.
@@ethantreadway9478 Victory road would've been better since that's a place you'd look for a possibly strong, rare pokémon.
It's in a single patch of grass, out of the main way, on the top of that mountain you go *once* to for story reasons for like 10 seconds and have zero reason to visit again, so unless you notice that patch of grass, you don't even know there's something you missed. Meaning you'd have a missing pokémon like no trainer uses, with only one location you might not even notice exists.
It's honestly insane that Emerald Tate and Liza use 3 psychic types with levitate, but instead of using the fourth one to have give the player an inkling that that pokémon exists, they used Xatu instead.
And there, they don't even have the excuse of "programmed like 3 seconds before release" because it's the third version glow-up.
If I were to fix Hoenn gym leader teams, replacing the Xatu with Chimecho would be one of the changes.
Chimecho is friend-shaped.
Dunsparce may be weak and be a pure normal type. And sure, it’s rare, but its coverage is actually pretty good since it can learn air slash and can have the ability serene grace which gives air slash a (I think) a 60% chance to flinch, which means you have to worry a lot less if you need to use it against fighting types. It can also learn dig, which is helpful if you don’t have a ground type for Lieutenant Surge’s gym and any electric type in general. Therefore, it’s actually quite a solid Pokemon to use competitively and since it’s so unpopular, it can give you the element of surprise… unlikely, but quite possibly.
I actually love the concept of "trophy pokemon": incredibly rare pokemon that are completely uselessly outside of ticking a box in the pokedex. It's part of what made pokemon so appealing to me as a kid. I spent hundreds of hours in Emerald scouring every single location in the game looking for one tiny discovery I might have missed, and sometimes I'd be rewarded with a pokemon I didn't realize was catchable in the wild (or didn't even know existed, since the internet was barely a thing in my household). That thrill of finding such a rare pokemon was way more satisfying then finding a strong pokemon all the guys at school already knew how to catch, and that's a feeling I can never relive now that I don't have the time to pour over games looking for hidden discoveries any more.
no they stupid because they just mean customers quit the game which means games need to be more pay to play to make profit

Rare Pokémon are just like rare animals: they are struggling to avoid extinction exactly because they are somehow weak.
Yes
Or being mass hunted down by humans for profit
That actually makes sense

I feel like some pokemon's rarity gives them an inherent specialness. Remember that some people care quite a bit more about collecting than they do about battling.
Your comment is literally a shiny hunter justification statement
@@Moonstriker2514 I don't really know what that means or has to do with my comment
@@mackojacko I just meant that is why people shiny hunt
@@Moonstriker2514 I think that a 1/100 chance of finding a rare pokemon like a dunsparce is a lot more reasonable than something like a 1/8192 Pidgey, but fair enough, I suppose
Not really when a lot of people don't know the pokemon even exists not really special just stupid to do to weak pokemon without a special ability to make up for it.
“That end up being really rare.”
“Ha ha it is I granty boi”
Is he a rare Johto Pokémon?
He better be, because I want to avoid him, though it seems like he tends to swarm often.

I loved that minigame! 🐧
Farfetch’d is literally endangered because according to the anime it was overly hunted of course it’s gonna be rare and if the anime doesn’t count then it’s still at least endangered. I know the point is that it’s weak but it at least has an excuse to be rare.
Past forms of Farfetch'd will be hunted as boss battles in legends Arceus.
I’m in love with your content I was having bad day but you improve it my dude!

@@Gatchaman2154 he likes prinplup more
@@rohitwankhede9153 Huh. I could have sworn that Delibird was the mascot in his channel.
I remember using a Dunsparce when I was way younger. Seeing it made me think of Larvitar which I had trained in another playthrough just before, and Dratini. I assumed it was going to evolved once or twice in to an insane super powerful Dragon or something. Pretty sure I got it to level 60 before giving up on any evolution. It still disappoints me to this day.
Same. It's a cool enough design and I like the Normal types. It really deserves an evolution.
It should've been a baddass Normal/Dragon type pseudo legendary. Shame it stayed as a meme.
Same here! I also caught Yanma and tried to evolve it in Pokémon crystal. Before a evolution existed…
It does in uranium and Dunseraph is awesome.
@@1squeamishneophyte yeah, I played Uranium and as soon as I heard Dunsparce evolved I immediately got one. Dunseraph is very cool. Very cool game but the last time I played it through was when it stopped after the 7th gym. Couldn't get in to it after it "officially" launched.

“The move reminder is kind of a special thing-“
ScVi: What the hell is a move reminder?
It's funny I actually remember having the in game trade Farfetch'd on my 1st ever team in Pokemon Blue, mind you DUX only had one purpose, even tho my Charizard was my powerhouse, and was basically the only team member that battled, he couldn't freaking Fly yet (thankyou Yellow for fixing that by the way) so that's where DUX came in handy
Also, side note, last night I watched a Pokemon Journeys episode that was focused on pokemon trades. It showed a Farfetch'd (named DUX) and Spearow trade... The nostalgic nerd in me was so happy! 😊
is the spearow name kenya?
@@spongebobpopsicle5783 possibly, I really hoped it was, but in the episode the trainer called his FarFetch'd DUX, but the other trainer just said Spearow unfortunately
Well now you have a fighting type farfetchd and it’s evo
@@spongebobpopsicle5783 nah it was spearey or how ever you spell it (pronounced spear-e)
Farfetch'd I think is made for that purpose. I remember using it only for the hm cut and fly.the early bibarel
Beldum: Same rarity as Mewtwo
I got so angry that I couldn’t catch one that I used a master ball on it
They're not the same rarity, you can still get more than 1 beldum per game, wich is more than mewtwo by default, Beldum is just absurdly hard to catch and using a masterball for it is honestly fair
@@An_Entire_Lime wtf- i used a pokeball on it on the first turn and that's it- it got caught... Also if zekrom is so hard to catch how the hell did i catch it with a pokeball on the first turn in black 2 just an hour ago?- MY LUCK!
Well you can get a freaking Metagross(Or Metang) in The Rustling Grass of Giant Chasm in BW2 and its spawn rate is higher than a beldum in those games
@@AnonExistence Zekrom and Reshiram have a catch rate of 45 in Gen V. In Gen VI onwards, that's 3.

19:02 isn’t its signature move Present an interesting gimmick?
Luck?
I've decided to just up and breed a shiny team from this video at some point. Normal Farfetch'd was already happening, because it's one of two Pokemon that can learn cut in SW/SH, which I think is hilarious. Plus, I kind of really like my Farfetch'd, since I did breed a perfect IV Galarian one from it in my failed attempt to see if False Swipe could pass down as an egg move.
But I guess I get to not enjoy a false swipe pokemon with scrappy.
You can obtain Farfetch’d before the electric gym in Kanto because it is intended to be used just to teach it cut, which you need to enter the gym and the rock tunnel.
There are more mons that get Cut and are more useful, and available at the time,,like Meowth(especially in FRLG because of Pickup) and then Persian is pretty okay if you don't have a Normal/Flying type, and until Snorlax...
That’s true, but I think that farfetchd is that weird because it represents a Japanese saying that is said when something really weird happens but it ends up being helpful. The saying was something like “as useful as finding a duck carrying a leek when you’re hungry”.
@@AlldaylongRock Meowth can't be learn Cut in the Original games. The only mons that can learn Cut in those games are Bulbasaur, Charmander, Oddish, Bellsprout, Sandshrew and Farfetch'd. Considering Bellsprout and Sandshrew are Blue exclusive, you are pretty much boned if you chose Squirtle in Pokemon Red, since then the only options are Paras, Oddish and Farfetch'd. But considering Paras has an abysmal 5 and 10% encounter rate, you might not even stumble upon one.
"Delibird has no gimmick"

@@jaydenc367 I mean it's a gimmick, it's just a really bad one that you can barely call it a gimmick. It's like how unown's only gimmick is that it only learns hidden power, and it doesn't have the stats to make use of the move properly. A gimmick that just isn't possible in gen 8 due to the move cut.
@@michaellarose4913 Well it's easy to call it a gimmick since it's it's signature move. Wait really? They cut the move out? That's surprising, did they cut Delibird itself out then?
"[Dunsparce's] base stat total is only 415, which is quite bad for a fully evolved Pokémon."
And then comes Scarlet & Violet...
The pikachu clones are rare I think because in Red & Blue pikachu was rare as hell. I only remember it having like a 3% chance to appear in the forest and nowhere else. I think the new ones being rare are like an homage to that. And maybe one day we might get another gen 4 where half of the new pokemon are new permanent evolutions and all the clones will have an evolution to distinguish themselves (like morpeko becoming a single type that switches between electric and dark, or todegemaru becoming a koosh ball)
In the case of Luvdisc, I use the move thief. My pokemon steals the heart scale, and kills it at the same time.
Sameee, i always use a pokemon with frisk (to find the heart scale) and thief to steal it. Of the pokemon doesn't have a scale i just run
Alternate title - Micheal ticks off several poketubers, including himself.
Murkrow being one of the most used competitive pokemon for early Gen 9 is funny
