Coalossal was one of the strongest pokemon in the last generation of VGC lol
It certainly is nowhere near as bad as Magcargo!
I feel like Castform is a far worse Normal than Delcatty. Especially since Delcatty at least has Normalize to go all in on it's normal typing. It's also a worse fire type than Magcargo. But I would put it above Luvdisc and Corsola
Crabominable is getting way too much hate. 😒
Hypno on the other hand, it’s just mediocre for me.
As for Turtonator, I’ll bet Kiawe in the anime has to be disappointed.
I blocked HoopsandHipHop years ago and had to click off this video because of him.
Correct me if I am wrong did Dawn have a skitty? Cause if that is the case then according to this guy then she should not have used it. In fact in the anime which trainer used a Skitty that Ash met that had a episode dedicated to her?
Corsola; man, I hate being so weak. I would die for an evolution.
Gamefreak: YOU’RE A GENIUS!!
Then your evolution sucks anyway, but at least your new form is good with Eviolite
nice soul knight
Sad thing about Cursola is that it loses half of its defense and its speed doesn’t change either.
Corsola: Shouldn't have said that.
I should *not* have said that.
@@zinzolin14 Cursola does suck but it's still pretty usable imo. Banette is arguably a worse ghost. Also, Cursola isn't meant as a defender like he said in the video: it's a Special Attacking Wall breaker/nuker, meant to be a secured kill when you need it, in that even if it gets hit and dies it will still perish song whatever it hit, getting that off the field at least momentarily.
Chatot does not deserve to be put on the same list as those other flying types. With its access to the super powerful Boomburst and the always confusing Chatter, alongside Heat Wave and Nasty Plot, it definitely has potential to be at least somewhat decent
It has been officially banned in tournament before, but not for the reasons you think, because in gen 4 you could get your chatot to yell slurs. Which automatically makes it the most dangerous pokemon ever.
Chatot only got boomburst as an egg move in bdsp, but you can't even obtain one with it since the only pokemon with boomburst in bdsp by level up aren't in chatot's egg group. The move tutor for heat wave also was exclusive to Platinum.
@@rukayatuawudu9995 Chatot always got boomburst as an egg move since Gen 6. But the only pokemon in it's egg group to learn it is Noivern.
@@perishforyoursins7941 yeah I was going to say it could use the most powerful move of all, calling you the n word.
@@rukayatuawudu9995 ahem...tr for heat wave, noivern for boomburst you could use home to get it to bdsp, and thats not even counting gen 4 where oh yea,trades exist
It felt kind of inconsistent to give Banette a pass for having a mega Evolution, but then not applying the same to Mawile
banette was also heavily nerfed by the physical special split as it lost the use of many of the best ghost type moves
Especially since base mawile is far better than Wormadam, having intimidate, sheer force and the best typing in the game. Wormadam is adequately trash
Banette can function without its mega after the physical special split. Not very well, but it can, and it was decent in Gen 3. The same can't be said about Mawile, including the part about Gen 3. Sure, Intimidate is a great ability in ANY pokemon... but there are a lot of better Intimidate users. Sheer Force only works if you can actually use it, and between its mediocre 85 attack and its worthless 50 speed, coupled with 50 hp (so not even its 85 def will keep Mawile in battle for long, or at all) means that it is practically useless. Even in Gen 3, when you got access to it, it was just better to get an Aron. It was more common, available in both versions, and MUCH more powerful when fully evolved.
Wormadam trash at least can take a hit or two, with better hp, def and sp. def, and overcoat to protect it from hail (in the past) and any powder based attack. So no spores, sleep powders, poison powders or stun spores to ruin Wormadam's day. Sure, there are better steel bug types to use, both for taking a hit and in general. But having a niche that can actually be fulfilled (tanky pokemon that can ignore powder based attacks) is better than technically having a niche but not really (intimidate user in a world where every other intimidate user is actually fantastic, specially in comparison with yourself)
@@lenlimbo Mawile is actually decent in the lowest tier in PU/ZU. Steel-fairy, plus intimidate, plus a very good support movepool let it be a somewhat utility pivot, and with sheer force it deals decent damage
it may be me but mawhile has access to baton pass, stockpile and swords dance which makes for a fairly decent stat tranfer
Seeing Delibird get a broken as hell evolution would be hysterical
Spoilers

Delibird is supposedly going to get a new paradox form in Scarlet and Violet, as a Water/Ice type with a stat boost
@@blueishdergon Spoilers:
Not a form. Paradox Delibird is considered an entirely new Pokemon
@@grunkleg.3110 technically correct, but not really.
Santa Kaws
Imagine his bag becomes massive and he uses it to slug his enemies.
Fun Fact: The highest number of weaknesses a Fighting-type can have is actually seven, as a Fighting/Rock-type, barring weaknesses added by abilities. So at least Crabominable has Terrakion beat in that department
Terrakion also is fast enough to use it's typing offensively which the combination excels at.
another fun fact; Rock has *half* of the type combinations that give you seven weaknesses. The other half belong to grass. If you're curious what these 'cursed' rock type combos are, it is Rock/Fighting, Rock/Psychic, and Rock/Dark
@@Vexal50 which is funny, because both Terrakion and Tyranitar (used to) dominate their tiers
@@damianodidomenico4756 yeah, this is why I hate how the Pokemon community hyperfocuses on number of weaknesses and if a mon has a quad weakness. Depending on how their stats and movepool is designed, it might not even matter
@@costby1105 yeah, which is one area that crabominable fail's at...horrendously so
Thievul got done dirty. Most of its best moves are physical attacks, yet it’s stats lean more toward a special attacker.
Which is such a shame because it's my favorite Gen 8 design by far, tied with Frosmoth.
sceptile would like to agree with you
It's the reverse Flareon
I'm pretty sure Burning Jealousy is one of Thievull's only special attacks, and even that move don't got STAB
I'd argue for the worst Dark type to be Mightyena rather than Thievul tbh
You should make playthrough teams entirely comprised of these Pokémon
Every mon must participate in at least 2 gyms
well I did use a Crabominable in first run of Sun (it wasn’t actually that bad)
@@androidoficeandfire9667 So did I! (Though I believe mine was Moon)
@@DigiRangerScott on the challenge I will do this next time a play a Pokémon game (except Scarlet and Violet later this month), to make this fun I’ll let you choose the 6 Pokémon and the game (only stipulation the game can’t be oras if Mawile is one of the six) maybe I’ll even turn it into a video, have been considering a few Pokémon challenges
Haha I’ve used a few of them on playthrough teams actually 😂
actually, in ultra sun/moon you can evolve crabrawler early. mt lanakila isnt blocked off in that version so you can just go in the grass there to evolve it.
Thats not early tho thats EARLIER still around 6th gym ish (well alola doesnt have gyms but thats where it would be around if there was gyms for reference)
@@Aburner960 wich kahuna/trial?
@@Yegros1972 you can evolve him when you hit mt lanikila which is in tapu village so right before the mimikyu trial
@@Yegros1972 yeah what Jude said it's right before the Ghost trial, aka the one that crabominable can't do anything in, not that it matter's anyway as crabominable is one of the single worst pokemon to use in Alola
@@bulborb8756 Crabominable just sucks no matter what, they really should’ve either gave it a mid evolution or an evolution that doesn’t require to be so far in the game already.
I find it funny that Parasect was actually used in VGC as a Kyogre counter
Ariados even had a niche in ubers for a while lmao
Also Shiinotic is one of the best Zekrom counters!
I mean it shouldn't be on this list, Sunflora is worse in VGC and Cherim is worse in single.
as a what?
Which is why i don't think it should be on the list
i imagine delibird just being depressed in bed, not sleeping when a robot version of it comes from the future and just destroys everyone that bullied it
Parasect was the only Pokémon with Spore in Gen 1 and Gen 2 though, which guarantees sleep. I remember using it a lot because of that.
This! Thank you
Countered Kyogre in Ubers gen 4
Shiinotic gets Spore too. I actually really like Shiinotic and really disagree with it being the worst Fairy-Type. Personally I think that (dis)honor goes to Galarian Rapidash. It's just a downgrade of the base Rapidash, who is already a contender for worst Fire-Type for a lot of people.
@@richarddill692 and then you´re playing diamong/pearl and didnt choose chimchar as the starter...
@@richarddill692 I agree with shinotic not being the worst but G rapidash is also not bad. For me it should have been wigglituff, this thing has no bulk, no speed and no offensive capability, the only thing it can do is set up stealth rock and die the next turn, it's absolutely trash.
Charm does make luvdisc a somewhat decent tank, allowing it to survive 2 caterpie tackles before switching out and is great for battle time limits because the opponent would lose by laughing for so long
Getting gender specific Pokémon tho
@@berriebarrera you're thinking of attract. charm is not limited by gender
Is this why Parasect is so angry in Legends Arceus?
It no longer want to suffer alone.
Is this why I chose cyndaquil as my legends arceus Starter because I knew I could just blow it away with ember
What's sad about Delcatty was that compared to another previous cat Pokemon at the time, Persian, Delcatty did not have a single great stat. Its highest stat value, 70, was in Attack and Speed, until the speed stat was raised to 90. But it's still really bad.
And interesting how this list has a good amount of Gen 3 Pokemon.
Delcatty is mostly just a Contest-only Pokemon.
gen 3 could use some more cross gen evos
Honestly if you think Johto was bad with very weak, underwhelming mon's, Hoenn is just as bad, if not worse.
It also doesn't help that Hoenn has a lot of those terrible gimmick Pokémon like luvdisc, shedinja, kecleon, castform and spinda
@@bulborb8756 It ALSO doesn't help that Hoenn has a lot of Pokemon that are either way too "avarage" for how late you find them (the Clamperl line, Glalie, Exploud evolution level-wise), plus all of the Dark types (of which there are ~7 lines) suffer from the lack of P/S split, making them... underwhelming to say the least.
@@robertlupa8273 yeah the lack of the physical/special split in gen 3 was especially bad as there where a lot of pokemon who suffered from it like sharpedo, crawdaunt, shiftry, huntail and especially absol
There is hilariously one strategy that livdisc and ONLY Luvdisc can use. Entrainment + Swift Swim
Just my opinion, but isn't it a little unfair that you didn't have banette as the worst because of it's mega, but didn't take mawile's mega into consideration? Lol and then have cursola as the worst even though it didn't exist when banette had a mega, and currently cannot use said mega in recent games. So as of recently it should have been banette
This and Mawile isn't even that bad. Sure the stats sucks but the rest of the Pokemon is excellent, both in type, movepool and ability, it's good in ZU. At least it's much better than Wormadam
Yeah, that really pissed me off. Especially when I am the proud trainer of a Shiny Cursola, as well as the fact that many players in competitive would HEAVILY recommend saving your Mega slot for Gengar or Sableye rather than Banette.
@@artimist0315 and unlike Banette, Mawile’s mega is actually good, to the point it was frequently used in VGC and banned from OU in Gen 6
At least the Wormadam get Quiver Dance, and quite early too. If you manage to get them set up, Bug Buzz plus Leaf Storm/Earth Power/Flash Cannon aren't bad.
Yea that was probably the most surprising out of all their picks. I didn’t agree with them all but I gotta say wormadam was a *hard* disagree
I used Wormadam Sand and Trash Cloak when playing BD and the Steel type one swept Cynthia's entire team after Quiver Dances
How they gonna say wormadam bad when ledian and kricetune is right there
@@kerrangeloburac2278 kricketune is better than Ledian because of webs, not a lot, but better than anything Ledian has to offer
I agree that it's not the worst bug type but it's definitely the worst Steel type in the game. Mawile may have awful stats but it gets two excellent abilities, has a decent movepool which allows it to work well as a support or offensive pokemon in ZU. It's ranked A- in ZU while Wormadam is a solid D tier according to the viability rankings.
2:09
Imagine being a localizer at Nintendo/GameFreak and naming a character Pedos 💀💀💀
To make matters worse for Thievul, it's move pool is horribly mismatched with its stats, it's a special attacker...but its special move pool is extremely barren and limited as it learns far more physical moves.
And said physical moves won't do much damage for Thievul as it's atk stat is only 58, where as it's sp.atk stat is 87
I have no idea what were they thinking when they made this moveset. This is Gen 8! GEN! EIGHT! We should be long past nonsensical movesets.
@@robertlupa8273 trust me, there where even abilities that don't even work with the pokemon they where given to in gen 8, like Boltund having Competitive (as its special move pool is basically non-existent) or Grapploct having Technician (as it learns almost no moves with 60 or less power, especially on the physical side)
honestly a term I came up with for pokemon who's stats & move pools are mismatched is "The Unfezant Effect"
It’s the same problem with Unfezant, having a move pool full of moves that use it’s weaker attacking stat
@@fazbearking87 that is true, like it took until gen 8 for that dumb bird to finally get access to brave bird...but it was far too late for that
Go to the VGC subreddit and find my essay on why thievul is the most misunderstood competitive pokemon
Nice list!
I was surprised to see Hypno as the worst psychic tho, I thought Chimecho would hold that title any day of the week
they just forgot it existed
i like to use hypno on pokemon go in great league ;d has good coverage with punch moves
Chimecho is a good contest mon though. At least I remember it being as a kid. Def prolly couldn’t emulate it now though 😂
I think chimecho is still a better support and levitate is unic I guess. Honestly Hypno is far from the worst take, Parasect, Wormadam grass, Marowak, Corsola, Cursola, Delibird, Crabominable, Avalugg, turtonator, Mawile and Shiinotic are all better than respectively Cherim/sunflora, Kriketune, Sandslash/stunfisk, sudowoodo/relicanth/armaldo, banette, Ledian, Throh/Poliwrath, Dewgong, Altaria/Appletun, Wormadam steel and Wigglituff
I'm surprised they didn't go with Xatu. I don't know what Xatu can do that
Hypno couldn't do better.
I guess Xatu can use fly, so you can move around the in game world...?
Didn’t mention how in gen 1 Parasect has 3 4x weaknesses with Poison being super effective against Bug
The only Pokémon to my knowledge to have 3 4x weaknesses
@@masmurdermonkey9233is that even possible in modern day?
@@vtubermissingno No, not in the modern day, poison is no longer super effective against bug.
But in Gen 1 it was.
Oh, or do you mean 3 4x weaknesses being possible in the modern day? I believe not if that’s what you’re asking, though I haven’t checked.
@@masmurdermonkey9233 yeah thats what i meant. A type combo that allows 3 X4 weaknesses. Was curious
Surprised to see Hypno, Shiinotic and even Corsola. Considering you mentioned that Crabominable is only obtainable at the end of Sun and Moon, I was expecting you talking about single player usability in each of these Pokémon. Those three Pokémon I mentioned above are actually useful in single player. And even competitively they have some use
For be honest
Shiinotic is really underatted
He can learn Spore, Strenght Sap and Leech Seed
True, wigglytuff is worse as a fairy type (it doesnt even learn moonblast wtf)
@@Nasho3 facts
I mean it's still bad but not this bad
Granted, that still makes it and Parasect the worst Spore users, being outclassed by other mushrooms like Amoonguss
Idk if its a testament to how good the ground type is that Marowak got worst place when it was one of the kings of gen 2 or if they're underselling Marowak, acting like Whiscash doesn't exist. Marowak even came third in masters world in 2013 iirc
Whiscash has dragon dance and a great typing so it’s definitely better than marowak
ngl when it comes to ranking worst ground, fighting, ghost, and especially dragon types besides the top few worst it ends up being a list of "least good" as shown by Mystic Umbreon's worst pokemon of every type series
I’m surprised the Stunfisk forms wasn’t mentioned
Are electric and steel that good?
@@Sergio-wc1wn its not bulky or strong enough to have use
@@gaugelawson2816 I agree but that doesn’t matter because marowak also doesn’t see use and is a worse Pokémon than whiscash
Seeing pokemon you like on this list is a different kind of pain...
All those Christmas puns with Delibird cut deep man.
Seriously though, thanks for having me on! This was a ton of fun!!
Delibird it the kind of pokemon that gives false hope, you think it would be fun to use, then check its move pool and realize its only reason for existing is being santa in the anime. Present is also a terrible move with the following damage table:
40% for 40 base power
30% for 80 base power
10% for 120 base power
20% to heal by 1/4 of targets max HP
Like how is that even usable or reliable, on average it deals 52 damage with a 20% chance to heal by 1/4. (And its 90% accurate)
So it has 1 usable move which is drill peck at level 25 for 100% chance at 80 base power.
Atleast it can learn TMs but a very important aspect of a Pokemon is its levelup pool, and with its base stats you aren't wasting TMs on it unless you are doing a randomized nuzlocke with no other choice.
Could’ve had anyone else and the vid would be so much better
What you said about Delibird is so funny given that its new form just got banned from OU
I mean it's not even the worst flying type, Ledian exists
@@artimist0315 could you imagine if in the next generation they actually give Ledian an evolution/form that ends up being Broken? That would ACTUALLY be really hilarious.
Many pokemon needs an update for their abilities to help distribute new abilities to more pokemon and retire unneeded ones it is not like they didn't do this before like the legendary dogs' hidden ability all got changed to inner focus. For example Delibird not having its hidden ability changed to symbiosis so it can automatically give a teammate an item in battle criminal.
And Gengar losing Levitate is precedent for this. C'mon, GF, you can do it!
Unironically Sheer Force Life Orb Play Rough from Mawile hits like a truck. I’d personally give the steel role to Bastiodon.
I did an all-dragon run of Ultra Moon and Turtonator was an absolute star. Granted, I raised it from an egg as soon as I reached the day care so I used it for more than just the ending trials, but it was still a great member of the team!
It's definitely better tan appletun adn non mega altaria
Ah yes, Chimecho, the Psychic-Type that’s better than Hypno
Bingo. Say what you will about hypno, it is not the worst.
ikr was thinkibg the same
I mean it is. It has a much better bulk, a better ability, a better supportive movepool and hits way harder. Don't get the appearances fool you, Hyno is worse.
@@leargamma4912 it is, chimecho completely outclasses it in fact
Part of Thievul's issues is that it's clearly meant to be a special attacker but learns almost no special moves whatsoever
Yeah I never understood what they were thinking giving Parasect dry skin. Mushrooms contain a significant amount of moisture! Parasect is a good HM slave tho 👍🏽
Nah man my friend has a set that uses rain & leech seed it just starts getting more then half its health back every turn
@@twotamatos that's assuming it can ever survive a hit, which it can't. Parasect is pretty much only good for catching wild mons, with the incredible combination of Spore and False Swipe with good Atk stat. Being able to carry some HMs is also a plus, but then you have mons like Azumarill which can run 4 HMs.
@@DeuxisWasTaken that’s where u just suck if we’re playing doubles u can use any Pokémon once u baton pass the right stats into it
I just thought of something: If Scarlet and Violet are removing tall grass encounters, will they change what the Illuminate ability does?
It would be funny if they just removed it
maybe increased spawn rate?
Sounds logical but I don't like it
To me Illuminate should have always works like the ability compound eyes because you're lighting up the area making opponents easier to hit. Also the ability no guard also does the same thing as Illuminate but with an effect in battle so it should at least get something going for it.
@@elaineofhouston Oh! Illuminate is about lighting up the area around it? I thought it was about Shiinotic itself glowing... I was thinking Illuminate could be cool as just an ability version of Bright Powder. An increase to evasion without being a stat buff to evasion.
@@redhead_bebs oooo I forgot bright powder exists. An ability version of bright power that doesn't need a weather effect to work would be great and you don't need to keep self activating it yourself either!
Actually, Luvdiscs can be good for farming heart scales, which are used for remembering moves in some games.
It seems it was its only purpose in the game...
If you have a Pokémon with Frisk and Thief, you don't even have to catch and release Luvdisc. Run away from the ones without a Heart Scale and OHKO the others by stealing.
I used an Alohlan Marowack in my Sun playthrough, but I managed to get a thick club from a other Cubone I caught so that made it more than good enough to keep up with the other Pokemon on my team.
Video Idea: 3 Typed Pokémon Possibilities
Yeah but Emperor Cubone already did a full series on that
I’m so happy volbeat wasn’t mentioned. With prankster, a taunt, tail wind, baton pass and tail glow make it an unbelievably good setup pokemon.
"delibird must be on game freak's eternal naughty list"
Iron bundle: don't ever talk to me or my son ever again
Sunflora is way worse than Parasect, who at least has Spore.
Cherrim is even worse than Sunflora lol
Delcatty can paralyze Ground types with Thunder Wave xD
Dunsparce: Finally, a worthy opponent
At least Parasect gets an immunity and Spore…
Fun fact: I’m pretty sure a competitive team with a Parasect placed really high in a major VGC competition one time!
It says something when Cursola is actually more useful just being an evolution for Galarian Corsola so it can abuse the eviolite to get busted defenses.
"Everyone hates"... I love Luvdisc, made sure to have one on my original run of Ruby.
Ariados in later gens is pretty good... Swords Dance + Shadow Sneak via level up early is nice.
You can evolve your crabrawler way earlier than victory road. You can just evolve it at the base of the mountain.
In Sun and Moon even the base is blocked off until after Vast Poni Canyon, but not in the Ultra games
For in-game use, girafarig is actually great. Ghost immunity goes crazy, not to mention being able to swap out physical or special moves pretty efficiently based on the upcoming gym. It's always my answer for psychic, ghost, or poison types, and you can do some real damage if you give it a decent held item.
Here to be toxic in the comments by pointing out niche examples of competitive relevancy with these pokemon.
Parasect- took 5th at VGC worlds 2010 when Huy Ha used a dry skin spore set as a hard kyogre answer.
Turntonator- Currently used as a hard counter for urshifu in spikemuth VGC as a body press + iron defense mon because it has crit immunity via shell armor
Thievul- Was piloted by a competitive genius has a psychic seed unburden support pokemon top quality for two players cup tournaments and get 2nd at a Chicago local. It was the only pokemon that could effectively support indeedee via fake tears while bypassing psychic terrain prankster immunity. This genius may be in the room with us.
ok but how smart is he if he used Thievul? makes you think.... 🤔🤔
Kinda strange how the argument for banette escaping judgement is it having had a mega, but mawile is excused because it doesn’t have its mega anymore?
Delcatty needs more love :(
Just me who only just realised corsola was a rock type
I don't know what everybody is talking about for Ariados. I brought Ariados to the elite four every time I played through Silver as a kid and it was a house. One of my favorite mons of all time.
parasect having spore makes it better than Sunflora. It makes it somewhat viable. You are not going up against most of those weaknesses with any other grass or bug type so really weaknesses don't matter.
under certain circumstances Sunflora can go hard
I think solar power choice specs solar beam can 2hko blissey
been a long time since thinking of that shenanigan, definitely gen 4
Gotta love (no pun intended) how Luvdisc was at least *slightly* useful in gens 3-7 for heart scale farming to relearn moves (basically it’s only purpose), and now that moves are relearnable for free since gen 8, it’s entirely useless
I know its competitive viability is non-existent but Dustox is actually fairly useful in game as a status/stall Pokemon with early access to protect and poison powder. I remember sweeping gyms with it.
I know everyone hates Crabominable, don't really remember it in battle but I like it cuz its a crab and I think its teeth are cute :)
Didn't even realize until this video that they gave Deliberd _Insomnia_ as a Hidden Ability when it already has Vital Spirit. Poor Deliberd!
16:35 Is that Toad? I heard that Toad Voice
It's too bad this isn't Renegade Platinum, cause Luvdisc is unironically fantastic in that ROM hack
Ah yes yet another victim for the absolute NUKE known as Adaptibillity Typhlosion under Torkoal/Ninetails drought
Coalossal was one of the strongest pokemon in the last generation of VGC lol
It certainly is nowhere near as bad as Magcargo!
I actually like Parasect a lot, but what I honestly have to fault it for is not having a stab physical grass move in its movepool naturally. I always had to save up BP to teach it seed bomb.
getting real sick of the Crabominable hate train
also get yours facts right
In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player could not enter Mount Lanakila at all until defeating Lusamine. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, however, the player can access the base of the mountain and the tall grass now present there as soon as they first reach Tapu Village, allowing them to level up and evolve their Crabrawler much earlier than in Sun and Moon.
Yeah and grapploct and throh are marginally worse fighting types anyway
I always found Parasect to be quite useful outside of normal battle. Give it false swipe and spore and it's already a pretty decent pokemon for catching other pokemon. Add to that double team and rest and it can stay in battle for however many pokeballs it takes to catch a given legendary.
It's not even really the worst grass type, given cherim is a thing
@@artimist0315 Cherrim was so bad they forgot it exist
Parasect < Sunflora? I guess barely
I miss Mawile's mega so much. I loved it before but actually being viable in competitive battle was great for the time
1:05 I consider “fully-evolved” Pokémon as ones that have actually evolved at least once but not Pokémon that currently have 0 evolutions such as Dunsparce or Luvdisc. I think this is a huge difference but I will let you guys slide this once. 🤓
Pokemon like luvdisc are fully evolved until proven otherwise by gamefreak
In Ultra Moon I did a random trade and got a level 1 Turtonator. Used it through the whole game and it was awesome. It was great that access was a factor in the decisions, but locations in game isnt necessarily applicable for single-stage Pokémon when making those judgements
My favorite poke channels collaborating. Sweeeet
There's no way Parasect is the _worst._ Just having Spore alone and not being completely unusable is enough to remove it from contention. Surely there's loads of evolved Grass types with no reason to use them at all.
As much as I love Sunflora, I‘m pretty sure it’s the worst fully evolved grass type out there :x
I absolutely refuse to accept the notion that mawile is a worse pokemon than bastiodon
Crabominable's typing would be really good on a faster pokemon as you hit over half of all pokemon(549 out of 1075). Only Ice Ground hits more.
Hypno was better in Gen 1 as it was one of the pokemon that their special stat became Special defense and was easier to catch than most psychic type in Kanto.
Crabominable isn't the worst fighting type at all actually, it even got banned from Zu (the only fighting type in gen7 zu is poliwrath). Even in PU it's considered A- tier, more than Throh's and Poliwrath's B- tier. So it's definitely not that bad
I just realized Hisuian Avalugg takes the term glass cannon to a whole other level
“Santa will give him some buffs” that was pretty hilarious lol
To say they I hate luvdisc is to presume I even think of it at all. Also I found shiinotic incredibly useful for catching legendarys in gen 7 and 8 with 100% accuracy spore, ev trained into defense stats and holding a sitrus berry.
I keep seeing people crap on Delcatty, meanwhile the thing was the saving grace of my battles with Glacia and Drake while also putting down some power against Steven in my 1st playthrough of Omega Ruby, frankly how it ran through Glacia virtually on it's own is beyond me but I was the only thing on my team that had a super effective move against Drake in Play Rough (yes I had a Skitty until it hit level 46, I didn't know how to evolve it till I beat Liza and Tate, my first Pokémon game okay, cut me some slack) and it decimated him. Now that I better understand team building I know it was my best option for Drake only because I was bad at move teaching, my Swampert had Dive, Surf, Waterfall, and Rock Smash and I didn't have the tm for Ice Beam to use it on Latios, but I can't deny it played a starring role in that playthrough. I guess I also have the consolation of it being utterly busted in Mystery Dungeon, if you pick Skitty as your player pokémon in Rescue Team DX you're playing the beginner difficulty, and if you get the tm for Blizzard early on, well you just win, most of the bosses are weak to ice and it's just a room nuke so you don't have to line it up like ice beam.
Lmaoo the toad voice over on shiinotic made me laugh
Just got to that point as soon as I read this comment
I refuse to accept Mawile as the worst steel type. Steel/Fairy is a great type combo, intimidate is a great ability which makes it surprisingly physically bulky, and sucker punch is a great option. Bastiodon is a much worse steel type, as it has no offensive presence and it's typing and movepool make it a bad tank
The fun thing is that there are a few ultra-specific niches that many of these pokemon still have. IE Dustox and Corsola are actually really useful during the first set in lvl 50 doubles battle factory in Emerald, and Marowak+togetic straight up sweeps in some of the sets too. Dustox also beats Brawley, not that it says much by doing so lol.
Dustox also beats Norman's Slaking thanks to Protect and Poison Powder. I'd say that's a good niche.
EDIT: Toxic (via TM), not Poison Power, as Dustox doesn't learn it in Gen 3. And it doesn't learn it by level up early enough to be used against Norman, so it has to be given the Toxic TM from Fiery Path. My bad.
@@robertlupa8273 That too. Adding to that, I did a ruby playthrough with only Pokemon I never use, and I had no answer for fighting types other than the great wall of Dustox. The thing just completely walled Brawley and a lot of random trainer battles that I had little hope against.
Honestly I think Drfiblim is worse than Cursola. Drifblim doesn't really do much except take hits, at least Cursola deals good damage
Fun fact, in gen 1, the bug type had a weakness to poison. Meaning, Paras and Parasect at one point had 3 4x weaknesses
nostalgia...
So, Mawile is the worst steel type because it doesn't have its mega anymore, but Banette isn't the worst because it had its time as a mega?
3:27 they started talking about the worst Water type and I saw Sealeo on-screen and assumed they meant Walrein. I was gonna throw my phone away if they were gonna diss my boi Walrein
Ok, going to have to call out your claims about Mawile with two words: Shear Force.
Mawile's BST isn't really that good, but it does get a decent selection of moves, particularly physical moves that have chances of flinching or inflicting status conditions. And those are the kinds of moves that benefit from Shear Force, as they get a 30% increase in power at the expense of losing their secondary effects. So, just to use an example, Body Slam normally has a power of 85, but when used by Shear Force Mawile it actually has a power of 110.5, making it almost as powerful as Double Edge, without the recoil. And combined with 85 attack (which isn't amazing but it's passable), Shear Force Mawile can actually do some damage. Give it an Assault Vest to give it a chance of surviving special attacks and it can actually be kinda ok, not spectacular but definitely not deserving of the position of "worst fully evolved steel type".
What's funny is that some of the Pokemon mentioned were core team members of different Nuzlockes I did. Corsola, Hypno, Kantonian Farfetch'd, Cacturne and Minun were all either on League teams or helped me out significantly during the playthrough. I even used specifically Minun on a regular playthrough and it's gotten to the point where I like it significantly more than Plusle even though they are glorified palette swaps.
I'm a big fan of both of y'all! Hoops and Hip-hop has amazing music, if anyone watching this hasn't checked it out. It's awesome getting to see y'all working together!
Leave me and my Perasect alone 😭
And that's when i realized... these are two separate people. These channels occupied the same spot in my brain this whole time.
LOL
Literally how?
@@robertlupa8273 i watch both infrequently and mostly through my CZcams homepage. And they speak similarly.
I've used Parasect in games in a 'catcher / EV grinder' role in gen 6 to great effect. Spore is always Spore, and Parasect learns False Swipe. It can also use Sweet Scent for guaranteed horde battles and Struggle Bug to kill them all in a single move, which combined with the Power X held items grinds EVs in a hurry.
Of course it has to be monstrously overleveled to accomplish these things, and none of this is competitive, but it had a use for me.
Kricketune is the worst bug type, IMO. Literally no use anywhere. Outclassed by the starters or any of the various 'butterfly' Pokemon even in the early game. It has a good cry, and that's it.
your videos like this are very helppful and informtive
in ultra sun and ultra moon you can evolve crabrawler at the base of mount hakulani, which you can access way earlier in the game. i used one in my ultra sun playthrough. i love it and will defend it
I've used Shiinotic before in Gen 7.
It was pretty good for me. Loved that Spore + Dream Eater combo.
I really enjoyed Strength Sap + Moonlight
I will not take this Crabominable slander. Sure, the defensive type is bad and it's not very fast; but it also has the best offensive type in the game! You can also evolve Crabrawler only a little over halfway through the game in the Ultra versions of Alola since you're allowed to access the bottom of Mt. Lanakila as soon as you reach it in those versions of the game.
Primeape does nothing special for a fighting type, has meh stats and usually a mediocre movepool. Same can be said for Hitmontop. And Poliwrath, who has a higher bst than Crabominable, has no noteworthy stats. It also has a fairly sad movepool especially being a physical attacker who mostly only has access to special water moves.
Primeape has a wide physical attacking movepool and was great in PU even before it got an evolution. Which makes it better than the likes of Throh, Poliwrath, Grapploct, Crabomibable and Hitmonchan who resided at Untiered.
Story time: So me and my friend were doing a XY Nuzlocke together, and we both lost a few Pokemon and we were in the late game. (I almost had an Entire box full of dead mons, I hate Tierno) so I was almost out of flying pokemon and so was my friend.
Except for 1 we both caught, it was a delibird.
We were looking through our boxes for flyers and my friend said "hey can Delibird learn fly?" Cause neither of us ever used it, and were not sure if it was like a scyther situation (has flying typing but can't learn fly) and it could so we were able to fly to the lcoation we needed to go to.
I really wanna train a shinotic some day
Yo wasn’t expecting a Hoops collab, that’s hype. 👍🏻 Fun video, thanks guys.
Also, disappointed Ledian didn’t make this list over Parasect. Ledian is always useless, whereas at least in Legends the Parasect line was ruthless. 😂
that and it gets Spore and False Swipe
I don’t think seeing new uploads get me quite as excited as JPR uploads
Fun fact, parasect in gen 1 was The only Pokémon to have three quad weaknesses as well, fire, flying, and poison as only in gen 1 poison was super effective against grass and bug
Crabominable is a beast in trick room. Super high atk and being able to hit basically anything for neutral or super efective damage
