Im so shocked that vikavolt is so slow, its design makes it look extremely fast
Yea bug and electric are such fast types too!
Hereâs a way to make it better:
HP:67
Atk:40
Def:70
Sp Atk:145
Sp Def: 65
Spd: 118
@@vikavoltisepic3507 YES
@@vikavoltisepic3507 would nerf the speed to 100 because 90 is about the average or just need abit to 105
@@swablu_gamingsyt4697 the thing is it zips around everywhere so it kinda has to be fast
Decidueye and Vikavolt have incredible designs that absolutely do NOT match their stats, they should both be strong, fast and frail, but whoever decided a bettle based on a jet and an archer bird should be slow must have been high as a kite.
Agreed! I was SOOOO disappointed when I found out Vikavolt was so damn slow for an Electric type.
Maybe if vika was based on a bomber which tend to be more slow
I don't like it either but with a little thought it does make sense why they're so slow. Decidueye needs to aim with precision which isn't always gonna be very fast, even for a master archer like him and Vikavolt probably takes alot of time to charge it's railgun pincers to blast the energy at it's target. The latter could also explain Clawitzer but that thing has a big howitzer claw, that's gotta be uncomfortable to move in so it probably moves slow too.
@@kaelanmcalpine2011 Thing is, Golisapod is slow, but it at least gets access to priority moves like First Impression and Aqua Jet. Making its low speed stat almost non-existent. Decidueye doesn't have that.
I mean, even though birds can be fast, an archer must be incredibly steady and still to aim IRL. Even though I am disappointed with their design choice and Pokémon is a game, not real life, I can still kinda see why they made it a bit slow.
Vikavolt
expected base speed: 110-130
actual base speed: 43
130 base speed is a bad idea,it would be 80-90 at most
Turn Vikavolt into a Pseudo-Legendary.
Dump all of the 100 stat increase for 600 BST to it's Speed.
Give it base 143 Speed.
Insult the heck out of Dragapult.
If they were worried about it being too overpowered, they could cut its sp atk to like 115 and then give it a base 100 speed. Which would give it a base stat total of 527 but it would hardly be overpowered with its cut sp. atk
I actually think that 43 speed makes sense because maybe PokĂ©mon thinks that Vikavolt should usually stand on itâs feet instead of flying. Vikavolt would be pretty slow if it wasnât flying so it makes perfect sense.
Vikavolt also learns Agility by level up to greatly help with its Speed.
Grass types always have 5 weakness, so when they get dual typing, they usually still do, taking a weakness, but gaining one. Tropius is no longer weak against bug, but gains rock, and 4x ice.
sad Tropius noises
Except Ferrothorn
Grass should resist fairy types they should get a buff in sinnoh remakes and get a resistance to fairy and even fairy types will also get nerfed
@@tnoor836 also should reduce some weaknesses
@@tnoor836 It even makes sense for grass to resist fairy since flowers and medical herbs are commonly used to ward off magical creatures in legends
Castformâs stats have one redeeming quality:
Itâs base stat total is *420*
imagine if it evolved at level *69*. Now that would be *nice*

âAll of the good physical-type electric moves are signature movesâ
Zing Zap is crying in the corner
He also said "but only like 2 pokemon have it" which describes zing zap.
Two of the pokemon that have it are pretty likable for me, so I dont have a problem, other people probably need it tho
With spark
Isn't Zing Zap the signature move of Togedemaru?
@@Jay-nh6um I think Pincurchin got it too Iâm Gen 8. It still might as well be a signature move.
Michael: I donât Think any Pokemon fans hate Luxray
Me: Genwunners
They hate most pokemon tho...
No offense but I don't know if I'd call them pokemon fans...
@Random Songs In Locrian Well, I can understand that, when I first saw it I didn't like it, but it design started to grow on me
I don't like luxray, but that's because I've never loved pokemon with a more special typing that have the attack stat higher, especially if electric type. The reason is because, as said in the video, there are not so many physical moves of those typings and GF programs with a random generator their games. But maybe, if luxray was simply electric-dark probably I would have liked it.
I started in gen 1 but I'm no genwunner, but the one I guess design flaw for me is those ears on luxray. That is the only issue I have with it, and the lack of dark typing when it looks to me like it would have been a good fit. But hey they all cant be winners, and it didnt stop me using luxray in any of my playthroughs either.
The Gale Wings nerf should have been "over half HP" as opposed to "only at full HP"
Nah, Talonflame was overpowered so it needed a nerf(and that means Staraptor is better than it)
@@dannyemaynard6531 Honestly, imo, Staraptor has always been better, even when Talonflame didn't suck.
Besides, Gen VII had a few signature abilities that negated priority moves, and the real Priority King was taken down by the nerf to Prankster, which is STILL really powerful. Next to Klefki, Talonflame was nothing major.
Dannye Maynard yes, it needed a nerf and "over 50%" would be totally enough. Also, regular Pidgeot should get Gale Wings! (and Mirror Move should return and have a more functional mechanics)
@@dannyemaynard6531 That's not really a nerf though. They basically ruined Talonflame. Nerfs shouldn't completely ruin an aspect of a game.
Some of us are gale wings.
Some of us only work at full HP
10:23 Shell armour is actually really good for nuzlockes since you donât have to worry about random crits.
Ok boomer
Yeah
That's right
â@@samd2612 "Back in ma day, we didn't have those fancy new crit-related deaths you young-uns really seem to think is fair and balanced."
"play around the crit"
Imagine giving Vikavolt Quiver Dance
Itâd still be too slow and frail to utilize it effectively. It needs trick room to function competitively.
But with base 125 special attack and speed
@@BladeTNT2018 actually 145 base
With base 145 spA it will hit like a truck if it got quiver dance, and atleast outspeed average speed pokemon to pick up quick kos. It aill be good enough, but not the best :)
It needs it
Imagine giving vikavolt speed boost
Side note: You need Castform to encounter the legendary genies in ORAS.
Legendary genies?
Tornadus,Thundurus and landorus
Plus you get a free mystic water to boost your water type moves damage
Wait wait what?
Where ?
I feel like talonflameâs ability should only be disabled if itâs below 50% hp. Iâd say this would be able to make our flaming bird get back on top while still keeping it balanced.
Edit: so clearly I didn't think everything through with this idea, so I came up with a new idea. Instead of full hp, I think having the first 3 flying type moves be prioritized and only flying type moves meaning you can't waste them by choosing a different type move. I was also thinking about having the 3 priority moves would refresh upon swapping, but I'm gonna need the insight for the ok on this decision.
Defeatist 2.0, still really sucks for Archeops. It would be terrible on Talonflame
It wouldn't be enough. Set-up moves would take a decent enough chunk out of Talonflame that Brave Bird would almost certainly be enough to drop it below that threshold.
I think with psychic terrain so prevalent now, Gale wings should function as it was in gen 6 because priority moves are not that op anymore.
@@NicolasClark7732 well it can set up tailwind before that also thats talonflame s main job support
No... never. Gen 6 Talonflame was godawful and it should never be buffed back up to that level.
For Drednaw, in order to make use of Strong Jaw, they should add new biting moves for its type. In Radical Red, it got Aqua Fang. For rock, it could be Stong Fang or Rock Fang
Giving it Fishious Rend might be a good idea. Paired with Scarf and it's going to be somewhat better
Talonflame can use Protect on the first turn to keep up its health and guard against Fake Out. Next turn, you can get Tailwind up. From there, you can use some combination of defog, roost, and brave bird. Also, it outspeeds Kilowattrel by one base point, and is faster than Murkrow, allowing it to out-priority it.
Amazing bro . Seems like you have gr8 competitive knowledge . Wish I was as good as you
Gale Wings. Roost. Etc. It had an infamous moveset a few gens back.
So lose out on first turn tailwind?
Gamefreak should make more water and electric physical moves. That's really necessary
And Ice and Ghost.
@Sceptile UX And Flying. Aerodactyl, Dragonite, and other non-birds need something better than Aerial Ace, and Gyarados needs something better than Bounce.
Water already has waterfall and liquidation
@@jawadtufaif7208 That's what I was thinking. And Aqua Tail is also a great move, though it's barely ever used over the weaker Waterfall and Liquidation due to its slightly imperfect accuracy. But people use Fire Blast over Flamethrower and Hydro Pump over Surf all the time, which have even lower accuracy, in favor of higher damage output. So I don't know. Waterfall and Liquidation also have useful secondary effects, so that's probably a big factor.
Anyway, it's a bit funny to me how more things get useful Physical Psychic moves than useful Physical Electric, Ice, or especially Flying moves. And seeing how Ghost was originally a Physical type, one would think there would be more Physical moves to its name. If it's not a signature move, then the only powerful Physical Ghost attack really is just Phantom Force, which is useful but easy to play around and isn't a great primary STAB.
@@reddragonair3147 Ice has icicle crash which is actually pretty good
Imagine if Castform got a stat buff in different weather forms. Like, it gets more defense in hail form, more attack in sun form, and more health in rain form.
Both defense and sp. defense in hail
Attack and sp. Attack in sun
And also a tornado form for speed just like the guy above me said
That's a brilliant idea
Why? Ice form should not get def boost. It should get the attack buff. Fire should be speed because it can use fire to propell itself and be faster. And rain should be the defs boosted
Hail yea!
You're wish, has been granted!
On the Hail form at least.
Agree with most of this video. I would also add Ninetales. Such an elegant design, but it's stat spread isn't great. Wish they lowered its attack and upped it's special attack and speed.
If I was designing Castform, I would have its ability as something that changes the weather every 1-3 moves or so. Then I would buff its stats from 70 across the board to 100 special attack and 100 speed. You wouldn't have to waste space in its move pool for weather moves, and you could have flamethrower, thunder, surf, and blizzard! Hail yeah!!
Well, it having its form change every 3 turns would hurt its strategy chance (eg. Using Sunny Form for a grass type then changing into the Rainy Form) and I also think its stats should change with the forms, maybe having its Sunny Form boost its atk. and speed, its Rainy Form boosting its Speed and Sp.Atk and its Snowy Form boosting its Defense and Sp.Def.
If it were random, yes. However, if it cycled in a specific order, you could strategize around that, no?@@r.ndomperson
@@cxpKSip i mean prob, really depends on how it works
Just give Zebstrika the ability "Galvanize"
And boom, lots of powerful physical stab moves!

Yup
Aggron was cool af even his mega was cool yet still in NU
Aggron is still a competitive staple though. It has been used many time especially mega Aggron on stall/wall teams.
Hes still amazing just that rock typing is like a curse
@@ironwarriors4lyfe635 oh yeah the only good thing that comes from the rock typing is stab rockslide and head smash
@@ImprisionArchieves And Fire neutrality.. But then 4x to Ground, a very widely used attacking type, and Fighting, a component of one of the "perfect coverage" type combinations, even with the Fighting type being pretty garbage to use nowadays, because Fairy
If Steel can't save you then you know you're an irredeemably bad defensive type. This is why I'd place Bug higher than Rock and Ice on defense, those Ground and Fighting resists are genuinely better than any resists from Rock and Ice.
It would have made sense to have made it so Castform can evolve into various forms, based on the weather. Like maybe you level it up with high friendship, while it is raining, it will evolve into a a water pokemon permanently. Maybe give each of the evolutions the abilities that set up the weather for their types. Like the Ice one gets Snow Warning.
Maybe even go further by making the evolutions represent different kinds of storms. Water/Electric for thunderstorms, Flying/Water for hurricanes, etc.
âYou canât be bad if your base stat is 530...â
Hahahaha Meganium hahahaha

At the time of my comment, it's been 4 years, and at least 1 of these pokemon got some new love from gamefreak. Tauros getting 3 new forms in Paldea, and each of them getting a new typing. Way to go, Mikey, for the gold star prediction!
I think Luxray should be made an Electric/Dark type. I know it's supposed to be a really loyal Pokemon but if Absol can be a Dark type (Dark type is originally called Aku type in Japanese, which translates to Evil), so can Luxray.
How to fix Castform: Boost Forecast.
Forecast: Depending on the weather, Forecast will change Castform's form, which also changes its type, and increase the SpA. and Speed by 1.5 .
That's it.
A other buff idea for Castform is give it a hidden ability: Odd Cloud, dependent on Castform teammates or Castform held item Castform ability change to Drizzle, Drought or Snow Warning and other pokemon can't change the weather in anyway until the weather become normal again. This will make Castform a flexible weather setter and a counter to weather as well.
Another idea: It has an ability called god, where it destroys all mortals around it
It should summon a random weather and receive a stat boost as long as a weather is present, making the opposition in a bind because they don't gain anything by changing the weather themselves. If he had u turn he could be a good pivot to change an opposing weather
@@spookyspukii Then why Galarian Darmanitan exist?
They will be the same thing.
@@spookyspukii but he desserve a good treat. Mawile, Farfech'd, Loppuny, Corsola, and others isn't meant to be powerful too, but they we are, sweeping teams in certain generations.
Darmanitan was powerful in gen 5, but now it's even MORE powerful. Why Castform wouldn't be the same now in gen 8? It's not like Darman because their power it's conditional.
Me at the beginning of the vid: Soooo castforms number 1
Itâs not a top 10
@@hpUP. yes it is tho
So that was great but yeah
Radical Red Castform is amazing. Better stats and forecast now makes weather happen automatically depending on the held item, using the weather rocks
Because they appeared in the emerald title sequence, I used manectric and Volbeat in my emerald team. But man, I really wish manectric had a more varied movepool and Volbeat had better stats. Still use them both, even if there are better options.
If it makes you feel better, Manectric is one of the best megas in gen 7 UU along with aerodactyl

2:48 i always wished castform had like a hidden ability where itâd cycle through all the weather on every turn so itâs form would keep changing, which couldve probably made it a lot more decent
Nah,That would make it too unpredictable & you would not be able to build around the ability,You would have 0 coverage since 3 move slots will be used for stab moves.

özgĂŒr ruh
Even the Gen 1 Pokémon they chose were a joke. Exeggutor is the only one that even makes sense considering the type of evolution these forms are supposed to be based on. If no post-Gen 1 mons already, they at least could have given them to plants, bugs and sea creatures. You know, life forms that actually evolve differently in an environment like that? Nope, better give them to Ratata and Meowth, even though the circumstances for those changes literally could have anywhere else, no need for a tropical environment.
@@rainpooper7088 You forgetting Marowak bruh
Kartik Saha it makes sense because of fire dancing
Since this video came out, Decidueye got a new form in Legende Arceus and Tauros got multiple new forms in Scarlet and Violet. Glad to see some of the PokĂ©mon he mentioned actually got some attention. Same cannot be said about Zebstrika though. That PokĂ©mon hasnât appeared in any Nintendo switch game, and was last found in the wild in PokĂ©mon black and white 2 đŹ
I think a unique buff for Castform would be that it changes the weather when entering play based on what weather rock it holds (would also change type to match that like normal). This would allow it to be a weather setter for every weather type. If they do this though, should Castformâs form remain Normal outside of battle? Or should itâs form just change based on its held item? (i.e. if you look at your opponentâs team before a battle starts, would you see what form Castform they have?)

i have an idea on how to buff castform: make the ability like protean but for the weather effects it has like if you used ice beam it would summon hail and turn into the hail form
this concludes my TED talk
Yes, amazing. And give it base 110 in atk, spa, and spe, and 75 in defenses, with 80 hp.
PlazTM thatâs an absurdly high base stat total. I love the mob, but letâs try and even it out. Give it 110 in speed and special attack. Thatâs 220. Now keep the seventy for everything but attack. And now drop itâs physical attack to ten. That ways it stays close to its original total but strong ish
I would give it stat boosts based on which form it's in
@@SilverDreamweaver So give it a 560 base stat total? you realize thats nearly on par w/ legendary trio totals right lol
@@onebuffalo5402 25-30 BST over starters, and it's a unique mon. And Atk and SpA being 110 overlap, which only allows you the ability to run a physical and special sets, only making a mixed set viable under weather (which Castform should be under anyway). And an ability which summons the weather before it uses that type of move, then changes its form to match that weather before the move comes out would be amazing. So protean, but changes weather. With that, he should be a little more frail at 70 HP, 65 Def, 65 SpD. That puts him at a 530 BST, less than Swampert.
âNot all of the PokĂ©mon are unusableâ
1. Castform
Him: jokes on you i have beaten alpha sapphire with ONLY castform
101 like
In my own personal pokemon region (Untaro) I made/found a few moves that could (most likely) really help Zebstrika. 1. electro arc: electric type physical quick attack. 2. Stampede: ground type physical move that boosts in power for each teammate it has in battle.
3. Crashing bolt: physical electric type move with 120 power, so fairly high, a 50% chance to paralyze but sadly only 85% accuracy and deals large recoil (I actually made this Zabstrika's signature move)
I love how no oneâs talking about how this bit at around 19:15 aged beautifully.

I think Castform should have the same gimmick as Rotom, So you could for example choose to keep Castform as it's base form and have access to all of it's weather forms, OR in the same style as Rotom forms, use an out of battle item to make your Castform stay in a weather form,.. This would give GF the chance to Buff Castform's ability to act as the other switch in weather abilities while it is in that weathers form.
Example: choose Castform to stay as Snowy Castform, and when sent into battle Forecast instead causes it to Hail.
This would work the same with the Sunny and Rainy forms causing Forecast to make it Harsh Sunlight or Raining.
This buff would also be the perfect way to introduce a Sandstorm form 'Sandy form?' i can image it to look like a mini dust devil with it's head peeking out at the top.
Making the Forecast ability to cause the weather when Castform is in it's respective form would be easy because it won't have any effect unless a Castform is sent out already in a weather form. This might also make the Normal form a viable option in 2 v 2, Normal Castform uses a weather attack, change form, second turn switch out, now when it is sent back in it restarts it's form's weather. So you can essentially have a multi' weather switch in ability battery tied to a single pokemon.
I'm from the future, good news, Tarous got it's regional variant
Michael got his wish of not one but three new Tauros variants!
Also hail yeah! Castfom ability idea: barometer: sets weather when castform enters the battle( the weather that will be summoned is depended by its nature ) and gives a sp. Attack boost to allies in hail and rain and an attack bonus in sun and sandstorm

Dannye Maynard Dusknoir is a super bulky and defensive PokĂ©mon. Vikavolt isnât supposed to be an attacker, it would be a great sweeper if it wasnât slow. Completely different PokĂ©mon, not comparable.
The funny thing to me about Dusknoir is that it's supposed to be a tank with its high defenses, but it has the HP stat of a base form starter.
@@quadrewplex6782 But even that works in it's favor with Pain Split, and it's defenses are good enough for it to rarely matter.
Second I saw this title, I knew castform would force itâs way on this list.
*castforce its way
Nice channel icon dude
OMG itâs Miachel thank u yaveltal
MandJTV I wish I thought of that earlier đ
Hail yeah
2 years later and Tauros has a regional form đđđ
How to become one of Mikeâ favorite pokemon:
-Have a Blue and Yellow Color Scheme
me: sees title
also me: tropius is gonna be on this list
jeff lmao I had the exact same thoughts
Well... And castform
I love its design SO MUCH but it's really only good for Fly
@@sapphiresupernova And a bushel of other HMs. In Generation III, between it and Tentacruel you can cover all the HM moves.
watching this on 4/20 to find out castform has a BST of 420, "hail yeah"
OfficialGushContent I watched this in the same date and it was 4:20 â HAIL YEAHâ
OfficialGushContent nice đđ»

Hail yeah

Allow me to introduce myself.
Thatâs a rom so it wonât help it in the main series
I love castform. So much in fact I used so much of my grinded money on stat enhancers all I needed was a weatherball and set a lot of terrain
Talonflame is a fire flying, but have you noticed the most types begin with the letter F, including fire flying fairy and fighting. Next, in my research is G with ghost, grass and ground then D with dragon and dark.
Does that reall matter?
In my research every pokemon typing always starts with the word "type"
I mean,it doesn't really matter or anything
It's a good fact, and I like facts
Thats not realy relevant, the types have 9 diferent names each
Chimecho! It has an amazing design, was adorable in the anime, and inspiration form Japanese folklore.
Yet every regional dex itâs in also has Alakazam and/or Gardivor making it severely outclassed
Delete Alakazam And Gardevoir
Boom problem solved
@@jebacpis869 not worth it. Gardevoir and alakazam are way cooler and way better
I love Chimecho. Used a Chimecho named Sleigh Belle in my original playthrough of X.
@Ayanokouji Kiyotaka n o t t h a t f u n n y
@Ayanokouji Kiyotaka uh lol when did you become an expert in comedy? And four likes? Wow so many
When you mentioned luxray i was slightly startled because i was battling using a luxeay at that very moment.
Well.. Tauros did end up getting a regional form in Scarlet and Violet. They heard ya.
_Or would it be three regional forms? There's the Combat Breed (pure Fighting type), Aqua Breed (Fighting/Water) and Blaze Breed (Fighting/Fire)._
âI guess the devs thought that was too OP?â Lol yes priority Brave bird was broken af Michael.
Yeah you're right but I guess they nerfed it too hard. Atleast it should be no priority to flying moves if hp is lower than 50%.
@@groudon3524 the problem is more the ability shouldn't have existed as giving automatic priority to a huge amount of moves will always be either too powerful or too situational, as there's always going to be a cheap option. You can set up tailwind basically for free with this ability, which can on its own allow for more priority afterwards, regardless of your health, so it's not like you can't work around it easily.
Michael: "Castform has a base 70 in all stats."
Me: "Perfectly balanced. As all things should be."
Litteraly stronger than deoxys
Instead of You, it should be Thanos saying that
Perfectly balanced. Nice.
@Mala Ghosh Missed the joke, mate.
Actually, missed two jokes.
Also, gonna go straight into "Arceus is best 'cause it's strong," eh? Not even going to talk about any competetively decent mons. Just. Mythical or nuttin. I'm a filthy casual and I don't actively use mythicals or legendaries even for competetive.
@Mala Ghosh The joke was that it had even stats across the board.
Also, @Samantha kim Caballero was being sarcastic, which you completely missed.
Also also, an overpowered God-mon is considered the complete antithesis of balanced.
Also also also, Mega Rayquaza, Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, Mega Mewtwo(both versions I believe) and Ultra Necrozma are _all_ stronger than Arceus. So I guess Arceus isn't balanced.
I wish Arcanine was a legendary. He's so damn majestic.
I mean, the damn thing is stronger than Urshifu in stats by 5 points and is called the Legendary pokemon so clearly it is one in disguise. Also side note, why is Urshifu a legendary with only 550 BST? They're the second weakest legendary only beaten out by Phione.
I spent so much time hunting for and training a pyukumuku in swsh for my postgame rematch mono-water team. I got it to around level 70 and I went to the move reminder to create it's moveset and... it can't learn a single attacking move. not even via tm/tr. I love pyukumuku, I love nudibrachs and I think it's just adorable, but it's, well not good. it might be good for setup, but I never really use setup because younger me never saw a need to and that's kinda transfered over to me now. oh well, I still love the little man ^^
I wish that Meowstic was stronger in battle because itâs one of my favorite PokĂ©mon and wish it got more love
if its gen 6 i like it
so i love meowstic
Gen 6 Talonflame still haunts my dreams. priority Tailwind, and Brave bird and Roost was far to much. If you couldnt take out 75% of its HP in one shot it could just roost stall you because it has a move that heals 50% of its HP first turn. So it could just sustain a heavy attack while a partner Pokemon took out any threats
Anyone crying over the Gale Wings nerf clearly never played against this horrible sort of Talonflame themselves. Good bloody riddance, I say.
I used a Talonflame on my violet play through, and it helped me a lot. Mine had the ability flame-body, which helped with tough opponents. I do wish it was better though.
I feel your pain. When I got my random shiny Grapploct at the Lake of Outrage, I was excited, but I was quickly disappointed when I found out it was slow and itâs moveset wasnât the best. I was so sad.
Also hail yeah
Well at least you would rather have him than well febas
@@faridabdifatah303 what's wrong with feebas?
You know how long It takes to Evolve

What I've learned today is that Apatosaurus has been Mikey's favorite dinosaur since he stopped wearing coats - since he was five years old.
You guys are babys it's not that cold I haven't worn a coat since I was 5 years old
@@justsomeguywithfacialhair4987 we got a badass ice type here

MWEOSTIC! I used it in one of my shield runs and his reflects and light screens helped a ton
Vikavolt: *has a design that makes it look fast, flies super fast in the anime, and it's Pokédex entry mentions it's fast speed*
Gamefreak: "You are not speed."
Gen 1 Tauros was a beast. It was so perfectly tailor made for that meta game. Fast for crits, good attack, STAB Hyper beam, STAB Body Slam.
A good upgrade to Castforms ability would be to have it change the weather with itâs attack prior to actually attacking. Sort of like protean but with weather. Heck maybe even let it change itâs type to correspond to its form before attacking too.
Tropius seriously needs a galarian form! It would be so pretty !
Gen 7 fucked up by having alolan forms ONLY be from gen 1. As if we NEED more attention for gen 1 Pokemon, but even worse it stopped Pokemon like Tropius from getting forms. Imagine Alolan Tropius with coconuts on him!
@@zzeroara9511 you're so right!
13:19 is also the reason for lucario
You got a like for âCan I get a hail yeah?â
alone. Well done, sir.
Hey đ
In the news game I'm using Talonflame with Heat Wave,Arial ace, Flame Thrower and Steel wing and it's holding leftovers for healing đ
Outside of Pokemon like Drednaw, Vikavolt, Luxray, and Zebstrika, the two Pokemon I really wish were better were Decidueye and Torterra. The Turtwig line being my favorite Pokemon ever and the Rowlet line being close behind it (the Grookey line is right along side them but that boy is good). The grass typing is my favorite type. Also turtles/tortoises is my favorite animal. So the Turtwig line is perfect. Owls are actually my second favorite animal (not to mention I'm a fall baby so the whole Grass/Ghost typing is super cool to me and I always have a flying/bird Pokemon). So the Rowlet is also perfect for me.
I really wish they would've capitalized more on Torterra's physical offense and defense. Make him hit hard but also tank really well. Despite not being a great typing I still love his Grass/Ground typing. It's so unique and fits Torterra perfectly. I don't know how to make him better exactly, but I would love him to be good so much.
Decidueye I feel like should've been more focused on being a physical attacker. Either put some of his Special Attack in his Speed, or his HP. I mention HP because apparently Rowlet has the highest HP stat of all the pre-evolved starters. Plus, it can allow him to be a bit more bulky on the special side while hitting on the physical side. Of course putting it in speed would be great as well since his PokeDex entry stats out damn fast this Pokemon is.
Also, honorable mentions to grass type Pokemon like Eldegoss, Lurantis, Gogoat, Simisage, Carnivine, Meganium, etc. I do want more love for my grass Pokemon.
This video is about every of my favorite pokemon
I always wondered why talonflame disappeared in 7G... Now I know why
Know what would be a cool hidden ability for castform? A libero like ability that changes the weather along with its type based on the move it chooses to use. Give it a Stat boost in sp atk and give it either more defense or more bulk
11:10 next is...
ad pops up
Ah yes my favorite Pokémon *ad*
And I totally agree
I just realized the true reason why Michael loves Castform so much...
*Its base stat total is 420*
Edit: *HOLY CHICKEN NUGGETS-* Oh uh sorry, Iâm just surprised that a comment posted by me got 72 likes & 9 replies in 2 weeks. I mean the most Iâve ever gotten is like 10 so uh... thanks!
Idontknowgoddamnit OwO and itâs a cloud, and letâs imagine Castform isnât a regular cloud
Idontknowgoddamnit OwO snoop dog approved
:O
Why dont you guys just treat 420 like a regular number, okay?

Sableye is my favorite Pokemon but even though it has bad base stats I still always find ways to abuse prankster.
Sableye with Dracovish
Sableye with Quash and Prankster
Dracovish with the move you know that really benefits from going first
Quash Sableye and Murkrow were all I spammed during vgc 2017. I don't know why Quash is so underrated
