    People always forget to mention that Tobias' Darkai was recovering most of the damage being dealt to it with the move Dream Eater so Sceptile's Leaf Blade was essentially a one-shot against one of the strongest pokemon in the entire series. Not to mention it withstood the most hits from it, including a super effective ice beam.

    • @Julian-pw5mv
      @Julian-pw5mv Před 2 lety +141

      Dream eater only recovers half of the damage dealt. And given that it lived a mega horn from a guts boosted heracross, it definitely has a lot more hp than heracross and gible. So most likely it was fairly low hp.

      Heracross' megahorn is a 140 power bug move, boosted by its supereffectiveness, stab and guts. I have no doubt that Darkrai was on the verge of defeat. So dream eater simply didn't recover sufficient health to be able to survive that leaf blade. So I still think heracross deserves most of the credit.

    Let's imagine Ash's team consisting of Pikachu, Greninja, Charizard, Infernape, Scepitile and Dragonite. This team would be fucking amazing:
    - Two fire type pokémon that is weak against water type? No problem, he has his incredible Pikachu and Sceptile to do the job, beside having Greninja who resistis Water Type moves. And despite having two Fire Type Pokémon, Charizard isn't weak to Ground and Infernape isn't weak to Rock.
    - Greninja and Sceptile are weak against Bug Type? Use Charizard, Infernape or Dragonite who resists them.
    - Now talking about 4x weakness. Charizard has trouble with Rock moves and Dragonite has problems with Ice moves.. Fortunatley, Ash can use Infernape Fighting moves or even Pikachu's iconic Iron Tail
    - Ash's strongest Pokémon, Pikachu, is weak against Ground moves, but he has a Flying Charizard and Greninja and Sceptile to counter them back with Water and Grass moves, Sceptile even resisting them. Pikachu is also very important against Flying Type Pokémon who can give trouble for Infernape and Sceptile.

    17:12 - I love Dracovich's personality. Since it's a newborn (or newly resurrected), I love how it goes about figuring out how everything works, even its own body. First showing affection by nibbling and gnawing on Ash, learning how to swim at full speed by just running along the ocean floor, figuring out how to do Vicious Rend for the first time when Ash asks it if it can do it, and on top of that everyone's reactions whenever they see it pop up, since they have no idea what the heck it even is, lol. Iris's Dragonite's reaction to seeing it made me crack up, since it was like 'what the hell is that thing and why is it chewing on that human?'
    Also, that K.O combo Dracovich did on Dragonite was the quickest and most brutal K.O I've ever seen one of Ash's Pokemon do against such a powerful opponent. Just... damn...

    Glad you put respect on the emotional fire turtle's name! No joke, Torkoal vs. Registeel is one of my FAVORITE battles in the anime. I don't really count Sceptile vs. Regirock at Ash's FIRST battle with Brandon because that was a "match" to help Ash get the spirit of that evil king of Pokelantis or whatever the heck it was.
    I know Brandon was saying a few times in the battle that Ash's confidence was too great, but nah I think Ash kept his cool and put on one of the finest battles showing the connection between himself and his Pokemon on full display! That Heat Wave/Sandstorm cyclone was epic!

    It's crazy to come back to this video now after Ash became the Pokemon Master. Pikachu is still deserved at the top spot - even more so since it has the capability to do Gigantamax, and it's Z-Move is still near impossible to defend unless it's countered by a Gigantamax move (and even then, the clash of two such moves nearly doomed the Galar region and required a Legendary Pokemon to come and deal with it.)
    Also wouldn't mind seeing Lucario get moved up to S-Tier now, considering it trained for a short time with Ash's Greninja to work on it's Aura bond with Ash and was capable of doing a Daimax Aura Sphere outside of actually being Dynamaxed (or even Mega Evolved, though it's obviously easier in Mega Evo form).
    One of the best episodes was when Ash went back to Professor Oak's to train with his Masters Team with his old Pokemon - with the entire team learning new tricks from the training. I just wish Ash had actually considered switching some of his team for others, though some weren't available (such as his Greninja which is still at the forest dealing with the aftermath of XYZ.)

    Pikachu's analysis is why I also think it's Ash's strongest Pokemon. Pikachu might be a power house but it's still a fragile, light, tiny little rat. It's literally the definiton of a glass cannon. It can't take too many hits but if it starts dishing them out, you *better* get some good hits in or else you're fainting soon. It's probably the best Pokemon for Ash to bring to every region. Having it strong but small frail let's it lose more believably than Charizard or Sceptile.
    TLDR; Pikachu's awesome.

    10:07 I actually totally believe this. I also think this is why Ash doesn't have a lot of Psychic or Ghost types. Look back on Gengar vs. Raichu. Gengar straight up goes intangable when Raichu swipes it's tail and when Psychic hits Raichu (or anyone for that matter) moving just isn't an option anymore and Gengar can do whatever it wants with them. Psychic is an absolutely BROKEN move in the anime which is why the writers only allow to be used on another Pokemon every once in a while and usually leave it for moving objects. Cause if Psychic could be used multiple times, the battle would go to the Psychic user no doubt. Thus, Ash hasn't had a Psychic type for generations and Psychic goes used in battle like once.

It took too long to evolve because it got no screen time but at the same time it evolved to early for the lack of screen time ad a Pidove. It proved its capabilities as a Tranquill but was very underused. As an Unfezant it had some decent fights, a lot more screen time, and also best Skyla’s Unfezant which was pleasant to see and Swana which was her ace.

    But things that people forget or choose to ignore about Charizard for obvious reasons.
    1. Most of the losses was due to Ash's inexperience a lot of his older pokemon could be included here.
    2. Since the battle against Articuno always comes up. It was frontier brain using Articuno not just Articuno on it's own.
    3. No ability to boost power, no mega evolution, no battle bond to make it special, and no op Z move. Just the power it gained training. That's why it still the boss to this day.

    When you take into account all the regional gimmicks from Kalos going forward, Z-moves are without a doubt the most universal out of them provided Ash has the crystals for them. Only a select few are capable of Mega Evolution provided they have the stones, and if certain pokemon on the list evolve: Greninja with Battle Bond, Charizard, Sceptile, Lucario, Bulbasaur if it becomes Venusaur, Gengar, Squirtle if it becomes Blastoise, Glalie, Gible if it becomes Garchomp, Heracross, and Pidgeot. As of this point, only Pikachu and maybe Gengar can access Gigantamax. And really, Gengar is the only one capable of all three, which might make it a nasty contender if Ash ever gets his hands on a Gengarite.

    Most of Ash's Alola and Galar team are in A Class (which is accurate) because we haven't seen enough of them.
    On paper, Noivern, Hawlucha, and Talonflame look good, but they actually were meh.

      The inaccurate pokemon is Rowlet at C Tier, should've gone higher since He is the round boi and he had that Ninja Skills even though he is a Quill in the first Place HAHAHAHAHAHA

      I mean Talonflame was also consistent as well. Since it was a Fletchinder it never went down alone, the thing even defeated that Avalugg that humiliated Greninja.

      Changes I'd make I agree with yours btw
      Bulbasaur should be upper B possibly even A his performance against Brandon was amazing
      Heracross should ABSOLUTELY be in B tier despite its low usage this thing can withstand a bunch of fire from Gary's magmar and land a solid hit on Darkrai
      Gliscor should be B I know low usage but remember it only had one battle after air training and it defeated Paul's Drapion which tbh didn't have much damage. Also while it lost against Paul's Torterra in lake acuity it still landed solid hits on it and actually started running out of breath (I rewatched that fight recently)
      Bayleaf should be C mainly cause how it took on Harrisons houndoom despite disadvantage

      @@silver7504 I just commented why Heracross should definitely be in B or maybe even A

    Sirfetch’d goes up to easy A tier after the master’s 8. He may not have taken a win against Leon, but he got some great hits in and cleaned up the field, which imo is the only reason ash was able to win. Plus Fetch’d bodied Cynthia’s Milotic and landed a huge hit on Garchomp.

    he takes it. Also:
    "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

    Don't forget that boldore had a double disadvantage against clay's excadrill as it was a ground and steel type, both of which are strong against rock
