      It needs some moves like bulk up and swords dance, its almost a physical girafarig for the most part and with bulk up and swords dance that would help out the Stantler line a lot. Since you have to use agile style Psyshield Bash to evolve it, why not make Psyshield Bash increase your speed stat rather than defense? And now both Stantler and Wyrdeer will be good in low tiers

    Going to be honest, Stantler and Wyrdeer have so much potential, I believe that they are physical versions of the girafarig line (for the most part anyway), and with girafarig having nasty plot and calm mind, Stantler and Wyrdeer should have Bulk Up and Swords Dance, maybe Psyshield Bash should be a Psychic Type Aqua Step because you need to use Psyshield Bash in Agile Style many times to even evolve your Stantler, and probably recover since it's antlers can be grinded into herbs and medicine. I think that these new changes would be sufficient enough for Stantler and Wyrdeer to succeed in lower tiers

      Honestly, we are getting to the point where mixed attackers are becoming massive liabilities in general on teams.
      It is a massive issue with the min max war. From a campaign perspective, it was a one-off mon likely designed to answer Morty in gen 2. Going any further than that wasn't a plan. Wyrdeer is unfortunate because while significantly better, the general number of optimized mons means that unless it has something unique going for it, nothing can keep it viable.

    I think it’s underexplored in VGC as it has access to Imprison, TR, Gravity and Skill Swap alongside Intmidate. I think having base 71 defenses is rly underwhelming so taking 20 pts from attack and redistributing it to its defenses will go a long way.

      I'm running an eviolite skill swap stantler team with gambit, milotic, and teal ogrepon for comp/defiant boosts. It's actually fairly solid, stantlers bulk is actually pretty good and with abilities like hospitality to steal it can compete

  • @gio9255
    @gio9255 Před 7 měsíci +16

    Stantler has such a cool factor and great offensive versatility back in the day. Wyredeer is a massive upgrade but also feels like one that came a bit too late. It’s outclassed by Farigiraf in VGC and singles. Intimidate stored power boosting is nice but really wishes it had something even more distinct. Banded Psyshield bash would be cool but there is such a plethora of dark types that laugh at Wyredeer. Here’s hoping it gets something unique in the upcoming dlc to distinguish it from Farigiraf.

    • @iantaakalla8180
      @iantaakalla8180 Před 6 měsíci

      I think Wyrdeer being bad distinguishes it from Farigiraf, because Farigiraf is a Pokémon you want on your team on trick room and you never want to use Wyrdeer unless it was the only trick room setter and there is a limited dex. This is akin to seeing Avalugg and Arcanine in the higher tiers: it may mean something, but often it just means the dex is not expanded for that generation.

  • @DryBones271
    @DryBones271 Před 7 měsíci +2

    I wish they changed Stantler's evolution method slightly, cuz there's NO way to evolve it without Home. I wish they change it to be like Primeapes where it learns Psyshield Bash at 32, then has to use the move 20 times to evolve. (Instead of using Agile Style and the move 20 times)

    I started to appriciate Stantler upon replaying Pokemon Colosseum. I honestly think it's one of the best Pokemon in the game. It's stats aren't bad (especially compared to everything else in the game), has a decent movepool, has Intimidate, can learn Calm Mind at a decent level (as the TM is not in the game), can get dual screens, Normal is a pretty good type defensively, and STAB Return isn't bad.
    It's pretty much a factor into ever Colosseum team I make going forward.

    I think it must be super unfortunate for a gen 2 normal type to get a normal/psychic evolution only to be outclassded by another gen 2 normal type's normal/psychic evolution. Farigiraf while not crazy in singles is a solid mon for doubles thanks it its movepool

  • @yungmuney5903

    Buff ideas:
    Increase wyrdeers speed back to 85 (why did it get slower?)
    Raise Psyshield Bash power into 90
    New signature ability replacing frisk: Audacious - If the pokemon's stat is boosted, it's speed is raised by one stage.
    Give it more set up moves to further synergize with the ability like Swords dance, Nasty Plot, Bulk up, Work up and such.
    And attacking moves with stat boosting secondary effects, maybe the lake trio's Mystical Power, or Ancient power if you're feeling lucky.

    • @andrewzorpas234
      @andrewzorpas234 Před 7 měsíci

      Wyrdee BST being 545 is too high, you can lower it's defense stats back to 62 and 65 like Stantler to compensate, swapping Frisk withFur Coat works, Psyshield Bash should be either a psychic double edge or a psychic Aqua step, give Wyrdeer bulk up, recover and swords dance and bam it's amazing now

    • @yungmuney5903
      @yungmuney5903 Před 7 měsíci

      ​​​@@andrewzorpas234 No its not too high lol, its the same as Togekiss. Arcanane, Volcarona, Florges, Kingambit, Gholdengo, and the Ursalunas surpasses it. Might be a few more non-legendaries i missed but it aint 600 so like who cares? Idk why are people so anal about this.

  • @LordRumshi
    @LordRumshi Před 7 měsíci +1

    If Stantler received its new evolution in an earlier generation then there is a possibility the deer Pokémon might’ve done better in the competitive scene. But by the time Stantler received its new evolution, it was much too late for Stantler to be considered for competition teams to use as there were better choices to use. Perhaps if Stantler received a new regional form with a brand new evolution, then Stantler could actually become better in the competitive scene in the same way the Farfetch’d family did with the new regional form and evolution.

    The only time I used Stantler was on some doubles format alongside Milotic as at the time (gen 6) Stantler was the only Pokémon with Intimidate and Skill Swap. The idea is you can quickly get multiple Competitive boosts like that or guarantee one if your opponent doesn't lead with Intimidate. It was a fun gimmick but I doubt it would be anywhere near decent in any half serious setting.

    Stantler doesn’t get Double Edge because Double Edge isn’t a TM in Gen 2. This is why Porygon2 gets it. You could teach Double Edge to Porygon in RBY, transfer it, and evolve it in GSC.
