    This is a comment petition. So many of Mikey's old videos stop at gen 8. I propose an 'anniversary' episode where mikey goes through his old videos and adds stuff for gen 9. I MUST know what Larry would be like as champion, or what Brassius would be like as the 8th gym leader, or what a paldean flying gym leader would use.

      Eh, you can get a better Lucario if you catch a Riolu on Route 22 and train it up. In X and Y only all Pokemon in the Undiscovered Egg Group *legendary or not,* are guaranteed 3 perfect IV's. So by catching a Riolu, *before the first gym mind you,* and training it up to a Lucario will result in a better mon than the gift. If you have the patience you can get a Riolu with perfect Speed, Attack and Special Attack IV's.
      Also the Lapras is actually better than you realize, it has fixed IVs, those being a perfect 31 IV in HP and 20 in all other stats.
      So because of this I argue that Lapras is the better gift, you can just take the Mega Stone off the gift Lucario and give it to your superior Lucario.

    23:13 In Cosplay Pikachu's defense, ORAS is the only game where you can find the Light Ball without mining Pikachu, and the Light Ball makes Pikachu's power output stronger than Raichu since it's basically Huge Power for both stats. This also brings additional merit to the additional move Pikachu has from its Cosplay, like making its ground coverage in Icicle Crash much stronger.
    Granted, you still have to beat Winona before you can get the Light Ball, so it's still not strong up to that point.

      In ORAS, a Bird Keeper stops you from going to the southern half of Route 120 (where the Light Ball is) before beating Winona. You can't get the Light Ball before Winona because the only wild Pikachu in Hoenn are in the Safari Zone, which is past that.​@@psychie8625

    8:30 ACTUALLY completing the Kenya quest lets you keep the bird AND rewards you with a TM (depending on generation its Nightmare or Rest) AND an HP Up if you check back in with the guy who gives you the bird, its just the MAIL the Spearow is holding that needs to be given.
    Plus in gen 4 the NPC will return any Pokemon you give with the mail that isn’t Spearow…including Fearow.
    Now he will take the Pokemon holding the mail in gen 2…but you can just sacrifice a Sentret from the start of the game instead

    I actually disagree with cosplay Pikachu being weak. ORAS is one of the few games where the Light Ball is available outside of finding it on wild Pikachu, and it works on the cosplay Pikachu, meaning it DOUBLES its attacking stats. I used it once in a playthrough and it was really good, especially when it wears the blue dress that gives it access to Icicle Crash

    I'd say the pikachu with icicle crash is kinda nuts, light ball pikachu is generally considered as better than raichu in a lot of situations, and one with an ice move (the best type of move to deal with electric resists), so I'd say it's capable of steamrolling the game, admittedly I've no idea when or if there's a Light Ball, but if it exists at around that time, that Pikachu is a monster
    for the record, a pikachu holding a light ball has the effective physical attack stat of 128 and special attack of 119, when not EV'd, however if it has maximized EV's and nature, that goes up to 158 physical attack and 149 special attack, which, I don't have to tell you is enormous

    What also helps Castform's case is that while soaring with mega Latios/Latias in ORAS, you can encounter Thundurus/Tornadus but they will only appear if you have Castform in your party. This means you can get a legendary genie as soon as you can both soar and get Castform which is fairly broken. And technically, if you never pick up Castform, you can never get your genie

While you can obtain a wild one with the same features, I believe the gift ones are guaranteed to become as strong as they can be :)
