DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth. Now Popular does not mean official even though two of the formats I will be covering were official formats being Japan Nintendo Cup and VGC, but it is an indicator of what a good portion of competitive players thought was “optimal” at the time. Also sometimes the Pokemon Battle Historia doesn't provide enough information to talk about certain Pokemon so I add Smogon analysis to make sense of it. This is pretty rare though.
To the people asking why I don't cover Smogon Singles for Gens 1 and 2: It wouldn't really be a history video if I covered those because online Smogon gen 1 meta to my knowledge wasn't actually played until late 2000s. I wanted to cover tournaments/competitive battling that was actually played during the early years of Pokemon (late 90s).
To the people asking why I cover Smogon at all for singles: To my knowledge, Smogon was the most popular format for Gens 3-5 and held a number of tournaments throughout the years. As for Gen 6, I am not covering Battle Spot Singles because there is more information and explanations about sets being used relative to their own meta on Smogon. In other words, there are few written analyses about Battle Spot Pokemon besides the Top tiers and I would like to avoid theorycrafting because it may have a hint of bias (though I theorycraft if I REALLY couldn't find information on a certain Pokemon). The keyword here is explanations. Though I did find statistics of most Pokemon used and most moves used, there wasn't really any explanations on why. Also the few Pokemon I did find analysis of for Top Tier Battle Spot Singles had very similar move sets to the Smogon OU sets anyway.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent and I will not fault you for using evasion or whatever, I just like examining popular tournament formats.

You gotta admit though, Ash’s Krabby/Kingler was pretty badass

It's so weird that the pokemon i would almost never pick when playing the older games because i just thought they were ugly or never heard of anyone using them... just so happen to be the strongest pokemon in the early gens 😅 Now I'm all like "I wanna get a Jynx and Exeggutor when i play pokemon red/blue next time"
i honestly have always kind of just caught and used whatever pokemon i liked the most aesthetically as well so jynx and exeggutor were never close to being on my radar but i get what you mean.
Same here, nidoking was my favorite sweep pokemon back in the day, now i wont even touch it. Gengar, lapras, exeggutor, starmie, alakazam, and golduck are my go-tos now, and i dont think id ever touch them previously
@@Pluggedinmusic206 I mean nidoking is respectable in gen 1, just not competitively. Theres a reason hes the pokemon of choice for speed runs
@@Pluggedinmusic206 nidoking is awesome tho.... sheer force boosted anything is badass

More random Pokémon TCG Knowledge.
While Exeggutor never made too big a splash in the Pokémon TCG, its preveolution DID, to the point that it was given a secret rare shiny form as a reprint. This Exeggcute wasn't used for attacking, but rather its ability Propagation. This ability allowed you to add Exeggcute back to your hand from the discard pile. While that doesn't sound like much, there are a lot of Pokémon Cards that you can only use by discarding cards from your hand. Items like Ultra Ball and Abilities like Empoleon's Dive and Draw require discard cards from your hand. Having a card that you can easily discard over and over again allows you to reduce the cost of these other cards.
Yeah, but TGC’s bad
That's sinister serpent
@@UliZombie04 pre-errata but yeah
ok
I had one of those, I got it with a shiny virizion
You realize how much this series has come? It's been great.
Also Let's do Raikou or Dugtrio.
It’s time for Dugtrio. How good was Dugtrio actually?
Pi! (Yeah, it was great, making OU almost like magneton except a bit worse, though it is trash because arena trap is banned for some reason)
Arena Trap got banned due to being degenerate.
That would be a cool one too! It was such a pain to face it, although I never found it that much fun to play with... o_oU
Pi! (I mean if you can trap it with a different pokemon the dugtrio is dead)
Oh, I remember the first time I had to go through the diglett cave, it was like a bunch of zubats you couldn't run away from, and I didnt know about the flying type immunity hahaha
I think I'm addicted to watching these. Just discovered them a couple days ago and I can't stop watching. Subscribed!
Finally! Gen 7 was covered!
If so, Watch this
HOW GOOD WAS RAICHU ACTUALLY
I know this is not a request. That video also covers Gen 7's Alolan Raichu
Lucario 7 yeah, it's mainly due to the Alolan forms. But I really like it when Gen 7 gets a mention
Aryan Anand he should have said something about gen 7 during Swampert's video
I was 100 hundredth like to your comment. I earned my UA-cam like today.
I’m using this comment to request a Gen 7 Pokémon....Lurantis!!!! Depending on how u train one and what nature it has it could go either way, it’s infamous in game Totem trial, and the only Pokémon to be a fashion statement in the Ultra games!
I honestly never considered getting a patreon account until I’ve seen how consistent this channel is. And thanks for making me remember how fun competitive Pokémon is
It’s the commentary that makes these videos so entertaining this man was made for this
I’m sill holding out for a “How GOOD Was Walrein ACTUALLY?” video! Please make it happen!
SSB_Seal Walrein Walrein Walrein
Not to be the big bummer but...Smogon literally forgot about Walrein. They seriously haven't done ANY information update on the poor walrus since gen4 because it's not a popular meta mon and they'll likely never do anything. Now compare this to the UBs that within a week got extensive play-coverage and analysis. Fuck Smogon.
They gave info on it for gens 5 and 6 just not 7 which if it's not that good for competitive they will not give an overview on it.
God, I totally forgot this Pokemon existed
SSB_Seal Sheer Cold Fissure It's been always good
How good was Raikou actually? We need some love for the legendary beasts!
How good where dragon types actually? Bring back Pokémon types!
Mach Punch Gaming yes
Mach Punch Gaming 🐲
Most of the time, they're decent.
Some like Garchomp, Salamence, and Hydreigon ruled a certain tier at one point or another while others like Haxorus, Druddigon, Flygon, and Goodra fell to the wayside.
@@goldenhydreigon4727 Haxorus is an interesting case. During the course of the story it's one of the best pokemon you can get in any game, and you'd think it'd have all the tools to be amazing in competitive, but it's speed is just slightly too low, it's defenses are just slightly too fragile, and it's just barely not there for OU.
@@benpeterson4673
But it's too good for UU?
I've been binge-watching this series recently and I'd love to see a breakdown of Heatran's effectiveness across generations. It's mentioned a lot in previous videos for its status as a bulky Fire-type with assorted status and Hidden Power usage.
A dissection of its competitive history would make for a pretty interesting video and also add some much-needed context regarding Heatran's viability for people who watch regularly but aren't as familiar with the competitive scene.
I'm glad you did this this my favorite Pokemon love the vids u helped alot

TheDiego908 Gen 1 Mewtwo no counters or checks at all - Only Light Screen Chansey or Self Destruct Snorlax
From what I understand that excudor was using physical attacks more than its supieor special attack
And then it’s aloian form being physical
How GOOD was Mewtwo Actually?
How good was Dugtrio ACTUALLY?!
So bad they had to give it an ugly Alolan form.
"special sleepy time powder"
We've done one controversial trapper in Wobbuffet, so let's do another one!
*How good was Dugtrio ACTUALLY?*
Controversial how? Wobbuffet is pure gimmick, Dugtrio is not
Both of the abilities are incredibly powerful; especially considering how the respective pokemon uses said ability. Plus, these days, both of the abilities are banned to Ubers.
Eternity_Lotus yeah Smogon went down hill in gen 6 and it's terrible the moment they started complex banning I knew that format was going to die. It's dumb to say you can only play like this. It's petty and causes more and more Pokemon to become useless and/or banned
I still think outright banning baton pass is dumb.
Eternity_Lotus yeah I’m liking your idea. Dugtrio is goooood man
How GOOD was Marowak ACTUALLY? as you cover Gen 7 as well now (:
Post Bote That was only because of their alolan forms. But they can only give us an insight since the gen 7 meta still isn't over yet. Hence why some of the previous pokemon didn't get that coverage
My God I forget how terrifying it's Stadium Sleep Powder animation and Gen 1 sprite were 😱😱😱
How GOOD was *Misdreavous* ACTUALLY?
Our 2 Gen Prankster need a vídeo...
Lets up vote this guys
It’s been one year since I started watching this channel, and it all started with this video!
mewtwo pls
Let's make it the Grass type trifecta! Next week can we find out how actually good was Tangela/Tangrowth!
While it didn't see much competitive use, I still love using Alolan Eggy on any trick room team in any tier. It's always worth consideration for me simply because it's one of the few decent trick room setters besides Magearna that don't share a psychic typing and make you stack weaknesses on your team.
I personally ran a fully mixed set with no bulk investment: 252 attack, 252+ spatk with trick room, Draco Meteor, earthquake or flamethrower, and explosion with Dragonium Z.
Too bad about that 4x ice weakness making switching in to water types a big risk, though.
HOW GOOD WAS PERSIAN actually?
HOW GOOD WAS MISDREVIOUS ACTUALLY?
Kyon Reyes-Lebron it doesnt effect mismagius
do you get the reference
Yea but id still wanna watch and find out everything about the mon lmao sorry to burst your bubble
I would Love to have a video about Persian as it is my Favorite Pokemon! However I would not not mind seeing Misdreavus/Mismagius as we have not had a ghost type in forever since Gengar (my favorite ghost type who is the only ghost type to get a video). Hopefully both of these Pokemon and many more get covered :-)!
Would be interesting to see both Pokemon!
now that we’re using alolan forms
How GOOD was GOLEM Actually?
This was the vid where it all began, I asked for How GOOD was Mr. Mime ACTUALLY on the 8th of July 2018 and I finally got my wish just over 1000 days later.

Let's keep the grass going. How GOOD was Tangela/Tangrowth ACTUALLY?
yeah im with you man
One of the best designed Pokémon ever in terms of stats and movepool. It’s a shame power creep caught up to Exeggutor, but you gotta admire just how many tricks the palm tree has.
I would always ALWAYS use Exeggutor in any Pokémon Stadium run. It even does well agains Non Ice Beam Mewtwo

If you're a niche pick in gen 1 OU then you're chances of being amazing are pretty small
@@coldore6734 *Laughs in Dragonite*
I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS POKEMON!
IT'S TIME!
How GOOD was Aggron ACTUALLY?!?
Outside of competitive play maybe. But having a 4X weakness to both fighting and ground is abysmal. Aggron's terrible typing holds it back more than anything and it needed the mega to even be remotely viable. Steel and rock is easily the worst type combonation in pokemon.
In gen 3 T-tar was and is straight up better, Metagross could just destroy it with EQ, Swampert being the best Aggron counter had the choice of EQ or a water type move. Blaziken could OKHO with a good fighting type move, Skarmory could wall, Dusclops could will-o-wisp and ruin its day completely, Dugtrio would simply trap it and then EQ, Flygon would just EQ, Machamp would just take it out with cross-chop winning the damage race, Wheezing could just burn it like Dusclops can.
List of counters only gets bigger from here
Gentile McCuckerson it was ass.
In competitive absolutely
HE HIT LIKE A TRUCK

How GOOD was Weezing ACTUALLY?
Need some Team Rocket Pokémon
Croutonking65 Yes as well as Persian and Arbok!
explosion used to be too good
now its useless (in singles)
D: cant they come up with some middle thing
Mind blown? Oh wait.It's signature move
sooooooooDark explosion landorus is one of the best leads atm
400 dmg implosion?
sooooooooDark I wouldn't say it *useless* per se but it's definitely not as good.
Let explosion half opponents defense again and nerf the base attack of Explosion to gen 1 standard seems like a option to me (or just raise Explosion power to 340). Explosion was really strong in gen 2 and back then you can argue explosion being necessary for offensive teams to exists since everything was so bulky. But with the game giving the players more tools to break opponents defenses made Explosion less mandatory, and just kinda overwhelmingly strong tool so they nerfed it which makes sense. But since Explosion is only worth it if you are taking something else with you it's never worth it beside on suicide leads nowadays and they strictly belong on a hyper-offensive teams who depend on meta-trends to be effective.
That is the one thing I was working on trying to figure out. I have most Gen 1 OU Pokemon determined, with a mix of Bolt/Beam, stat superiority, and typing significance...but I couldn't figure out why Jynx, who has lackluster stats and a lackluster movepool, was OU in Gen 1...but as an Exeggutor counter, that's valid.
Jynx is also tied with Egg for the most accurate sleeper in OU and has fantastic typing since Fire is largely irrelevant in that tier
how good was the only pokemon to be uber all gens, mewtwo?
Isn't Mew an Uber in all gens? I don't know if it still has the ability to learn every move as the series progressed.
Mitjitsu nah he's OU in gen 6 and 7
And even in gen 5, it was a little below average
You can't really trust smogon when tiering something. They see anything out of the ordinary, they decide to ban it
Not unhealthy, it's just a glass cannon. The fact that it's players who decide to ban it or not is probably the worst part, just because they always make some ridiculous story (normally due to being salty). The thing is that dugtrio is very predictable: trap and then earthquake. Bulky water types make dugtrio's life hell and anything not weak to ground and with proper defense or that carries will-o-wisp since it's attack is not that amazing. So yeah, Dugtrio might be annoying but because of arena trap, but with proper prediction, it's pretty much dead
How GOOD was Dugtrio ACTUALLY?
But how mediocre was Yanma/Yanmega ACTUALLY?
Please god, I've been trying for half a year now.
try it on a gen 2 video

shit shit shit shit then situationally decent.
entei! DO THE LEGENDARY DOGGOS
Ditto would be fun :) ... at least I think ... opinions, don't hate it me 😅😂
Ditto was always the lowest tier
This channel has gotten me into looking at competitive
MEWTWO! No April Fools this time.
Exaggutor certainly did great in the first few generations but as things changed in later generations, things became tougher for the walking tree to remain a top tier Pokemon. Plus exeggutor’s alolan form is somewhat strange and didn’t quite help by becoming 4x weak to ice types but wouldn’t be harmed too bad by dark type moves/Pokemon.
how good was dugtrio Actually?
How good was Mew ACTUALLY?
Exeggutor and vileplume is the BOMB, they in my team every damn time🫡
How good was golem actually?! I think this is long overdue since you did machamp, alakazam, and gengar.

What about Wobbuffet as well? Though Shadow Tag is banned from OU and Wobbuffet is in PU atm, it is for all intensive purposes in Ubers
Maybe he should do Excadrill or maybe even Rayquaza.
Bro first me then him
How GOOD was Weezing actually?!
How good was PIDGEOT actually???
Knuf Wons That's a funny way of spelling Mega Pidgeot.
I actually had some fantastic results with Alolan Exeggutor gen 7.
That being said, he will only work effectively on a team that is both Trick Room and Sun.
Max Special Attack, Max HP, Minimum Speed
Sitrus Berry
Harvest
Draco Meteor
Flamethrower
Substitute
Trick Room
4x resistances to Water, Grass and Electricity, as well as near immunity to Heavy Slam, allow it to create unbreakable substitutes against many common foes such as Rotom, Ferrothorn, Choiced Tapu Koko/Bulu, and non-air slash Celesteela and freely set up Trick Room or start killing stuff at will.
I got it to nearly 1800 elo on Smogon OU gen 7 (before Ultra/Sun/Moon, where the team started slumping.)
Abusing the Sitrus Berry and being able to effectively control when Trick Room went up and down was an essential part of the team, and he managed to do some amazing stuff.
That being said, the entire team is incredibly specific, and I can't see him being viable in OU without Trick Room, and even then, there are better options for non-sun Trick Room.

How GOOD was MewTwo ACTUALLY?
And also make a How GOOD was Mewtwo Actually in Smash
Karl Smink so? People already know that, but their asking anyways
yeaaah Smash too!!
Even in Gen 2 Mewtwo was broken, most of us just swapped Amnesia for Submission. Which was enough to counter the new Dark threats.
How Good was Latias actually???
*never gonna give never gonna give... give you up*
Never gonna let you down
Broken in Gen 3 and 4 with Soul Dew lol
An absolute monster in gen 5
Latios what were it’s checks and counters in Gen 3?
Deoxys D/A, Tyranitar, Blissey, Shedninja, Snorlax and Metagross. Blissey and Deoxys-D beat Latias without Safeguard / Substitute / Refresh. If Latias does have non subsitute, Blissey can take a hit, set screens up, and have someone else take it out, or use Icy Wind if you can survive the 1v1. Tyranitar thanks to sand stream; it can take a hit (or immune to it) on switch in ; and set up assuming latias hasnt spammed calm mind. Deoxys A can possibly take a hit from psychic and choice band shadow ball to kill it in one blow. Shedninja can possibly take it out assuming no HP fire/dark, but its shedninja. Snorlax has difficulties taking hits, (made easier with Light Screen Blissey) but when it can a choice band shadow ball can take it out. Metagross can take a hit or two and take it out with shadow (but it gets 2HKO by thunder) A very yolo strat is to trick the soul dew out from latias, turning latias from a uber pokemon to an OU pokemon (weakening its power and sp def) Overall tho, Latias can beat any of these pokemon, esp with soul dew, so there isnt a straight up counter to it; its just outplaying her
It is a hard blow knowing your favorite mon was once a battle champ that fell into the bargain bin of fighters overtime.
How good was Politoed ACTUALLY? I am not giving up till the end
he has already made one for Politoad
Andri Thor Kristensson no he didn't. He did cover Poliwrath but not Politoed
Pain in Gen 5 since Weather Wars was a thing
Politoed is so good he can 1HKO Rayquaza with Ice Beam.
