Magneton is a lot of fun. Even just to role play. Lock on plus zap cannon just feels perfectly robotic.
All the mentions of the trade evos makes me want to try a run with only second stage trade mons, a team of Haunter, Machoke, Kadabra and Graveler sounds super interesting
I used dewgong because my favorite kinds of Pokémon are ones that are simplistic in design. It’s better than the stats would make it seem. It was pretty helpful in my FireRed team
Edit: I originally used it because I have used Lapras so many times but I was happy with the way it turned out
As for Kanto Pokémon I’ve never used but would like to, I’d like to use Electibuzz. It was never my go to Kanto Electric type (that usually being Jolteon and occasionally Raichu), but I always liked its design.
elictibuzz isn't canto, pretty sure its gen 4
@@afox8050 That would be Electivire, it’s evolution. Electabuzz is a Kanto Pokémon.
Electabuzz is an even better version of Raichu. Can also learn Psychic in FrLg
Definitely use kadabra in gen 2! I just finished a run of crystal, and it ended up 12 levels higher than any other mon by the end of the e4. Those elemental punches and psychic let it solo the e4
Did you ever use Kingler? Do you know no Gym Leader, Elite Four or any other important NPC does use it? I had one in Let's Go and it was nice:-)
Giovanni uses a Kingler during his gym battle in the original Kanto anime.
@@BigOrangeSnowman88 yeah I know and so did Ash but I mean game characters. Sorry for the confusion. They could've given G-max Kingler even to Swordward (give Shielbert something like G-max Sandaconda)
Dewgong was in my original team back in the day. It was great little Pokémon. Also used it again when gold and silver got rereleased on the DS. The fact it has access to ice beam by level up makes it a good (not great😂) choice for an in game playthrough
Same except I used it recently in Pokemon Yellow on the DS. Got it through that trade on Cinnabar Island. It definitely helped in the late game and was on my Hall of Fame team though I wasn't super attached to it. Got it moved up to my Current Pokemon Home.
Used Venomoth in my first playthrough of Let's Go Eevee. You can get it early (north of Cerulean I think) and it was pretty good. That Bug Buzz and Psychic combo was deadly and it was my Pseudo-Psychic type.
Dewgong was in my Hall of Fame for Yellow on the DS through an in-game trade. It helps clean up the late game and helps in the league
Kadabra let's you solo the entire Gen II games with relative ease.
Its absurd speed should almost always let it hit first and with the elemental punches, it hits basically everything for super effective damage.
What I find funny is that I've used a lot of these mons. Namely the Poison-types, Venomoth was even my first Shiny.
And Weezing is damn near excellent for Mono-Poison runs with the coverage and Levitate.
Can't say I've ever used a Dewgong myself, precisely because it is such a late-game mon... that you need to surf for, at a point where I have a mon I prefer way more.
Like, in USUM, I genuinely used a Cloyster, and enjoyed it, even though I've literally never used one before.
I used Rapidash in my first run of Pokémon Diamond as a kid and it went great! Having Flare Blitz for the league was nice! I used it again in Platinum which was more fun. I think I may have used Dewgong in XD Gale of Darkness but I’m not sure. Honestly I’ve yet to use Nidoking, Arcanine, Ninetales, and Starmie in a playthrough.
This video is inspiring me to try 2 things i never have- using non-fully evolved Pokemon in a playthrough and trying a weather team
Venomoth was one of my aces in my slforst trip through Paldea in Violet, and the shiny Ponyta you get in PLA evolved into Rapidash and adventured all through Hisui with Mr. Both were excellent.
I never ran Rapidash in diamond and pearl, but I did in Legends Arceus! It was a lot of fun :) I love static pokemon you can get, it always makes me connect to them more
That's pretty interesting, I've used Venomoth in Let's Go as it is my favorite shiny, so I hunted for it and used it for all playthrough.
As of Rapidash, I actually did use one in my only Nuzlocke, in Brillant Diamond, which ended up successful. It went all the way to Cynthia before falling, but it did pretty well in the run. I also started with Torterra as you suggested you would, so that's kinda funny.
For me, I think jynx is the best Pokemon because it's ice and psychic type Pokemon and it has massive advantage against most of the elite four, gym leaders and Giovanni.
I actually WANTED the Everstone from the Sinnoh Haunter. I was trying to breed Pokémon and needed an Everstone to do so. When I found out I could get one from that trade, I was actually pretty happy lol
Nobody wanted that damn haunter
@@johndenver7035 which is why SV's Haunter trade is actually great
@@brendanboomhour7606 SV?
@@johndenver7035 Scarlet and Violet
@@brendanboomhour7606 I took a break after bdsp so that went over my head! Haha u can get a traded Haunter that game? Pretty sweet
Weezing is not only my favorite poison type mon, but it’s also a ton of fun to use. Used it in B2 and it was awesome. Also, Dewgong is fun too, used one in my most recent Alola run and it was also a ton of fun
I've always loved Magneton ngl. Used it all the time before Magnezone got introduced. Still use Magneton on some specific ruleset runs
Speaking of remastered, I always thought a Best Teams remastered with no repeats would be awesome! I think you did something along the lines with the PLA games?
Regardless, keep up the awesome work!
I have used Rapidash in Pearl before cuz Torterra is my favorite starter in that gen. My run went pretty well and I like using it
When I player Silver 1st time I used my Masterball on a Ditto. I remember facing Lugia later and being sad I cannot catch it so I just Transformed into it.
I'd also like to include Electabuzz on this list.
One of my favourite Pokémon ever design wise (the switch to 3D models has not been kind though yikes), it's fast and has a nice Special Attack.
As someone who owned pokemon stadium on the 64 i have used all of the original 151 at some point of time.
That said venomoth was actually one of my favorites back then and depending on when i was playing i used the pre trade evolvers as well.
I have a lot of Pokémon from Kanto I want to use but my number 1, is farfetch’d, yes I’m serious. I’ve always liked having a small Pokémon throughout the whole game alongside a bunch of big and powerful Pokemon that would usually be on my team, like Ash’s pikachu, and farfetch’d has always seemed like the perfect fit for me in terms of Kanto, plus it’s a Pokémon that I generally really like and think it’s a funny Pokémon, I’ve used sirfetch’d and evolved it from Galarian farfetch’d, but I’ve never gotten around to using Kantonian farfetch’d yet.
Honorable mentions include Dodrio, Persian, scyther, Kabutops, dragonite (I’ve used dragonite in online battles but not for a playthrough) sandslash, pidgeot, arbok, arcanine, dewgong, aerodactyl and rhydon
i love using this type of Pokemon, in my last soul silver run I used girafarig, sudowoodo and dewgong
Haunter was my all time favourite ghost type until Runerigus came out, so I was one of the few who was happy to be given a Haunter in Sinnoh that didn't evolve, and kept it all the way through to Cynthia 😁
Haunter was my first lv 100 Pokémon because I didn’t know what trade evolutions were yet. This was back in the diamond and pearl days when I was 8
A few responses to your list:
10) Then it got Quiver Dance, which makes everything better.
9) Same for me, about other options overshadowing it. Still, there’s always the possibility of a Hoenn Mono-Grass run (probably just in Emerald, where Roselia isn’t available).
8) Granted, it’s not as great without the Eviolite, but I acknowledge your willingness to try. Personally, I always wanted to use Rocky in Yellow, since he DOES evolve.
7) This is one I HAVE used before, even before its final evolution came out. But then I tested Jolteon, who quickly stole the spot for Best Kantonian Electric-Type. Bummer. (Naturally, I’ve used the final form several times, particularly in Sinnoh and Unova.)
6) Unevolved or not, it’s a beast. I only used it once, before preferring Hypno and later Jynx (access to sleep infliction).
5) Yeah, I always stuck to Charizard or Arcanine in Kanto. But both this and Ninetails deserve a fair shot. And yes, D/P infamy.
4) I always wanted to use one ever since I too saw Chuggaconroy’s Crystal run. I doubt I’ll ever catch a shiny, but this thing is a solid tank, and it has better coverage than you might expect.
3) I should give this one a chance. Even though I tend to use either Lapras or Jynx as my Ice-Type, most of the time. After all, this thing can take hits.
2) I only use it for breeding. And nothing else.
1) I recently started to use this one in G/S/C. Not as a team member, but as a catcher. Especially for the Legendary Beasts. Hypnosis + Mean Look + Night Shade works well. IF you can pull it off. Save frequently, though, just in case.
Seeing this list makes me want to try using these pokemon. After I got the haunter with the everstone I placed it in the pc immediately
Doing only 1 type challenge runs with a rule that I have to catch all of the Pokémon of that type in the regional dex [with a few exceptions] I pretty much have to use everything at some point...
I used Weezing in my heart gold playthrough, running Sludge Bomb, Fire Blast, Rain dance and thunder and it was so much fun to use!
I would like to see you run some type/gym leader runs. Like starting with all mono or primary types. Like rock team or electric or water. Seams challenging enough due to permanent type disadvantage ya kmoe
In my first play through of platinum, I was stuck with Gaspar, Electabuzz, and Kadabra until the post game where I found a friend to play with. I only used Gaspar the Haunter to destiny bond Lucian’s Gallade and Cynthia’s Garchomp.
Dewgong looks like a candidate for your Improve That Pokemon videos.
I've used Rapidash in both Pearl and Let's Go Eevee. Magneton was also used in Let's Go. Dewgong was on my team in XD.
I've thought about using an Imposter Ditto on my team several times, but, thus far, haven't quite pulled the trigger.
Hey Mystic, I have a request for you. Can you make a list of the top 20 strongest pokemon unrestricted? You made the list of legendaries ranking from weakest to strongest previously but it was based on some pokemons no longer being able to mega evolve. I want to you make a list of where all the pokemons are at their strongest. They should be able to use their gimmicks even if they are banned from the current games 🙏
Never had trade evos until I was in my 20s where I got a Machamp for the first time. But yeah, the middle stages can get you very far in my experience. Used to love using Kadabra and Haunter.
I used the infamous Haunter in Pokémon Pearl. All the way to the E4 with Shadow Ball, Hypnosis, Thunderbolt and Dream Eater. However, my cousin and I traded this Haunter twice so we both could get Gengar.
I just ran through Leafgreen recently with Venomoth, Kingler, Farfetch'd, Mr. Mime, Marowak, and Magmar!
Kinda had the same realization that there were many pokemon I haven't used surprisingly. I don't really like using previous gen pokemon in newer gens so with some of the late game pokemon it's a hassle
How was it using Farfetch'd? Thought about using one myself (once I can find my FireRed version)
@@matthewroberts198 It was alright, pretty weak. I used a code so I could catch a wild one instead of Ch'ding, the traded one, so it's low base total wasn't offset by increased experience. It did well against Erika and Bruno of course, but it came in really clutch for me against Agatha too.
As someone who went years without being able to get trade evolutions, all of the pre-evolutions are solid mons, but man I wished I could have evolved them years ago.
Now I just port them to Legends Arceus and use the link cable.
How about Poliwag ? Can you do a team / run with him and any of their evolution ?
I have used Dewgong on a FireRed team when I chose Charmander as my starter. I liked it.
For Kanto-based Grass types, I alternate between Vileplume and Victreebel, especially since I've either rarely or never chosen Bulbasaur as my starter.
I've used Rapidash once for an in-game team in Platinum. I wish I picked a different Fire type.
As for Pokémon from the Kanto Dex that I've never or rarely used for an in-game team that I would consider using one day, mine are:
Lapras, Gyarados(although I've used the shiny one from the Lake of Rage when I was a kid once or twice; I would like to used one in a game for Gens 4-9 some day), Tangela/Tangrowth, Flareon, Hitmonchan, Scyther, Magneton, Electabuzz(I've used Electivire but not Electabuzz), Magmar(I've used Magmortar, but not Magmar), Tauros, Pinsir, Jynx, Poliwrath, Dragonite, Clefable, Golduck, Kabutops, Omastar, Tentacruel, Starmie, Slowbro, Muk(especially Alolan Muk), Cloyster, Kangaskhan, Weezing, Sandslash, Marowak, Seadra/Kingdra, and Snorlax.
I used dewgong recently in blue version, it was pretty good
nice video
Kadabra is always my go to Pokémon in a lot of the games. If I have the advantage to trade it to evolve I will, but yeah, I miss it in scarlet.
Pokémon I’ve never used in Gen 1 are Ninetails - because the first version of the Kanto games I got was Red and only to find out Arcanine is stronger. I like the Psychic and Ghost coverage it has, but it’s nothing too special. It’s funny now, because I now use Alolan Ninetails in teams because of how much better it is in a competitive aspect. Scyther - I really wanted use this one when I got it as a kid, and now I look back realizing that it has no stab moves. Onix - because I like Golem and Rhydon better in this gen, never really felt the need for it. Lapras - because it is at level 15 when you get it from Silph Co and you’re more than halfway through the game, plus my starter that generation is Squirtle. Porygon - because it is such a grind to get at the Rocket Game Corner. Flareon - in few of my gen 1 playthroughs, I have used Vaporeon and Jolteon which are the better Eeveelutions of that gen, and Flareon is just not good. These two I can say for sure in the same spot which are Kabutops and Omastar - simply for the reasons of having Blastoise in that point the game, I think Golem and Rhydon are better Rock types, and the only fossil I use is Aerodactyl which has been used to wipe the Elite Four with. I’m also going to say Magneton since I have used Raichu, Electabuzz, and Jolteon before and which I like better. And I can say the last Pokémon I have never used in a playthrough of the original games is Victreebel - if any Pokémon I have picked for a playthrough to be my Grass type, it’s either Bulbasaur if I choose to play with Venusaur at the end, plus the very first time I beat the original games, I have used Vileplume on a team. I didn’t really want a Victreebel due to me owning Red version and I can catch one in Yellow, which I used on it too. It’s funny since Vileplume was also the Pokémon I had used to beat SoulSilver, it was something I had on teams back then, but now my favorite Grass/Poison to use is Roserade.
Magneton is one of my favourite, and i have used it once in Kanto and once in Hoenn.
Rapidash is my 3rd favourite Pokemon of all time behind Nidoking and God (Vaporeon) and it is CRIMINALLY underrated. In my last Leaf Green run it mowed Agatha and Lance down.
I'll say it, Gaspar the Haunter was still a part of my team and was transferred through many of my games, later as a Gengar
Gaspar got a happy ending x3 becoming the Gengar they were meant to be.
I remember using venomoth in fire red. I don't quite remember the team as I was in yr6, I think the team was venomoth, kabutops, arbok, fearow & that's all I can think of.
Ok so ive used hauter (my favorite ghost type evo line), and thick fat dewgong on the same team as my starter bulbasaur in fire red play throughs and both put in good work as support pokemon. I used magneton before I used manetric in ruby/saphire just because and it was surprisingly effective in the game would definitely do it again. Tbh you peaked my interest in using magnezone in my next gen 4 play through. Kadabra is definitely slept on. I used it in my first few sinnoh play throughs and though frail it was great situationally. Ive only used it once in a kanto team but thats cus I usually swap it out for haunter or hitmonlee
I ran rapidash in diamond and pearl, he was admittedly frustrating to use cause he doesnt learn many good moves till mid to late game, but weirdly enough this was a pokemon i came to rely on a good bit and learned to love as a result. And i have diamond and pearl to thank for unintentionally forcing me to use it.
I’ve never used Arcaninie’s or Arbok’s lines, but I had Blue and Yellow growing up
Magnemite and Magneton are definitely my favorite Pokémon and I used them a lot in Fire Red
Haunter was my main Pokémon in Blue. Also I caught Ditto with the Masterball. I was like 6-7.
Here's of list of Kanto Pokémon I've never used on a playthrough team, but would really like to use at some point.
• Kingler
• Cloyster
• Flareon
• Vaporeon
• Victreebel
• Dodrio
• Dragonite
• Sandslash
• Ninetales
• Exeggutor
I use Haunter in all my play throughs. It’s one my favorite Pokémon ever.
Marowak is the most underrated one imo, with bone club it gets 160 base attack, and anything it gets through nature, ev and iv it gets doubled as well, so with attack maxed as much as possible at lvl 100 with one sword dance it already reach the ceiling of 999 attack, it's a beast
Good ol' Venomoth, everyone's favorite Ghost/Ice type
I can doing the same. I have a checklist app and I am doing playthroughs through all the gens and using all the Pokémon, so I can claim to have used every Pokémon at least once. I don’t know the exact number but I got at least 200 Pokémon used( a lot of 3 stage Evos though)
I will say, a Pokemon I've always thought had a cool design but never used is Aerodactyl. Its usually late game so I never did.
I lived aerodactyl, it was a dinosaur so naturally as a kid i wanted it in my team.
Weezing is fun competitively only for Doubles because of its Neutralizing Gas ability to turn off abilities on the field. But if you see Weezing on the team sheet, you know what the opponent will likely want to find a way to position along side of it---either Regigigas or Slaking.
I always used kadabra or haunter growing up as a kid. now that I'm currently replaying as a adult I'm using mew. also first time using mageton. always found a pikachu or used jolteon.
Dewgong is really fun to use, it's good in Kanto but where it shines is dx it's damn near a god in that game
i have used 3 on this list and two of them were in a Ruby Nuzlock: Magneton and Machoke in Ruby and Rapidash in Platinum
both Magz the Magneton and Kronk the Machoke survived all the way to Steven and Sunny the Rapidash was there because i wanted to use one and i chose Turtwig
all 3 did work in their respective playthroughs and im not sure if i will get the two middle stages evolved in future games since Eviolite is pretty busted
Funnily enough, I used a Vileplume, Kadabra, and Magneton in Ruby (with another Magneton in Emerald and a Venomoth in Leafgreen).
Its fun to use the shiny ponyta/rapidash in legends arceus
Magnaton and hypno are really slept on hypno in the original three games great defense and special and speed honestly I think it’s better than the abra line because of trade machanics. and magnaton in let’s go is a beast with that steel typing thunderbolt and flash cannon hits like a truck.
I never used Gaspar the Haunter because it had a hardy nature. If I was gonna use Haunter I’d catch one until it had a Modest nature. Plus, in Gen 4 there’s that 1 room in the Old Gateau that had 1% chance of wild Gengar lol
I always had Kadabra on my team, that thing was sweeping te whole game.
Haunter is my favorite Pokémon. Bar none. :P he’s a happy good dude.
I actually did a play through of Silver with both Vileplume and Magneton. Magneton was fantastic only problem i used Thundershock for much longer than I woulda liked and Vileplume did pretty well even when i had to take Gloom into the first elite four match
I used Magneton and Vileplume in Ruby.
I used Weezing for the First time in Alpha Sapphire he was a Good Toxic stalker and Was helpful on my Team
The original Pokémon games were my first and I remember I used kadabra and magneton, I think at one point I also used machoke
I didn't use Magneton until gen 3 with Sapphire because that was the best electric type in that one.
I've used most of these. I think the only ones I haven't are Venomoth, Magneton, and Ditto.
I'm not _entirely_ sure about Vileplume and Machoke, though.
I don’t think I’ve ever used a Rapidash in Diamond or Pearl. I had Platinum and used Houndoom. I have used Haunter and it was fun to use ^^
Honestly I've used every 1 gen pokemon but once thinking of non general 4 or gen 2 evolutions 15 pokemon. I've even used the machoke, Kadabra, and haunter group. Kadabra (was my 2nd ever 100 pokemon with blue). Graveler is the only 1 of the 4 I never used. I even used electrode cause I actually like the basic concept of it but didn't realize it sucked with no electric moves unless you taught them to it. I've always wanted to use dewdong but as you said not good but I have a heart for sea lions and otters so I'll have it on my team very soon cause I do have an itch to redo a older generation game. Ditto I used out of a bet and yeah never again but it was fun though.
I think I used a Dewgong in one of my Ultra Sun and Moon playthroughs but I don’t remember much of it
ive used rapidash is diamond and it is a very underrated mon yeah fire stab is not its strongest attacks but it can hit hard and is fast use it as a snipe killer and it will perform good enough
I Ran rapidash on my PLA team. Worked out okay
I say do a play through with the middle stage trade evo Pokémon.
I love Magneton so much more then Magnezone. In fact, I caught a shiny Magnemite in Scarlet, evolved it into Magneton and I’m keeping it there. I gave it a evolite and it’s still on my team.
All the gen1 trade evolution are pretty decent Graveler is quite op in Gen2 🤔 best example I can give is it's battle against the most favorite gym leader in Gen2 the ending reset or over leveling usually level 24 just to beat a level 20Miltank all you need is a Female level 17 Geodude and the best part beating her using her own strat but you will do better since you will resist her atk while yours is stab boosted 😊
I used a Kadabra on my team the first time I ever played through Pokémon X version. I didn’t know it evolved through trade.
Weezing is my favorite Pokémon. It always ends up on my Kanto team lol
La and Ny were koffing and weezings originally planned names yeah? That was the reference you made to New York
I had a lvl 89 or so machoke in pokemon sapphire bc i never had a friend to trade with growing up 😭
My brothers first shiny was Ponyta in diamond and pearl when he was a kid
I used the trade haunter in my last Diamond run
11:51 I didn’t even do the trade in BDSP!!! (I never played Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum)
Honestly forgot venomoth was gen 1 lol I always think of venonat as gen 2 because of tracy
I actually used a haunter in a monotype draft league (I was the poison specialist) and was able to win against a normal type specialist
And yes it was because of levitate
I’ve never used Drowzee, if I did it was just to evolve it to Hypno. I’ve also never used Gulpin lol
Btw the best place in my opinion to use magneton is in gen 3 cause that poison type immunity plus there is no expectation of magnezone
Kadabra has been in a lot of my teams over the years. Getting such a powerful pokemon at level 16 is broken.
You can trade for a seal on cinnabar island and it quickly will become a dewgong with the trade xp bost. You missed out on easy beast for the elite 4
Kadabra has been in my team for every single gen. It never gets old and uselss
I never used any of them and I'm thinking of going back and replaying sun and ultra sun and using a lot of them or just some of them
