      I actually remember playing against a battle disk from XD that was supposed to prepare you for this guy. Think rental teams combined with those chess games where you have x moves to get to checkmate. The only way to win was to realize one of the rental Pokémon had Damp as an ability, which would neutralize explosion, letting you win with another Pokémon.

    Virgin Mysterial vs Chad Codel:
    M: Spams broken box-art legendaries to kingdom come, and literally breaks the rules by having a mythical on his team
    C: Uses terrible pokemon in a genius way by cleverly taking advantage of insane gen 3 mechanics.
    M: Abuses rain, one of the most common and broken strategies in the game (and doesn't really do it well in all honestly. No swift swim and only 2 water STABs is wasted potential).
    C: Implements a never-before-seen strategy, having 5 mons armed with the funny move.
    M: Does very little interesting with movesets (20 out of his 24 moves are attacks, and 3 of them are on 1 pokemon. The only really interesting thing there is ancient power for Shedinja, I'll give him that)
    C: Uses imprison and protect to perfectly play around explosion's greatest weakness, countering all of steel, ghost and protect with one pokemon.
    M: Barely has any team synergy (other than setup Manaphy, who shouldn't even be there).
    C: Literally could not function without every pokemon doing their part to contribute to the funniest and most brutal sweep imaginable.
    Understand that I don't mean to anger any Mysterial fans here, I simply pay homage to the Ultra Gigachad Codel.

    • @IschmarVI
      @IschmarVI Před 2 měsíci +86

      funnily enough, (rain-mode) Mysterial is actually very weak to explosion. he has neither pokemon that resist normal nor a single pokemon with protect. So blowing up on him is actually the easiest way to destroy him.
      And Codel understands that.

    Well, this was wonderfully different and entertaining lol. I really like this list and getting to look back on NPC trainers through a competitive lens is a fun trip of memories. Some NPCs have seriously stacked teams with questionable move sets to make the main games easier to get through, but some would be real world champions just based on their team comps.
    I love the “How Good Actually” videos, but I hope y’all do more fun ones like these as a nice break away from your usual stuff.

    Refreshing to find that not only on the kind of video given, but also that side game battles are counted in a way that rarely are given alongside main games. I'm glad we gave thought to the parts of said side games we often forget about, especially showing that even the most forgotten parts can be the most threatening

      I feel like "we were 10" could go for literally every trainer not in a Stadium-like game. With the advent of age, familiarity with the series, Bulbapedia and the ability to use more than 3 items per battle, almost no fight in Pokemon is hard per se.

    gen 3's NPC strats are some of the most heinous, vile, nefarious sets I've ever seen in my entire life. Like, later gens had all these cool competitive sets or anti-meta sets that're based off the pokemon's strengths or weaknesses, like Cynthia having a yache berry on Garchomp or a choice specs on Nidoking on Giovanni's team, but the Battle Frontier has NO such honor or creativity. There's Blisseys, Snorlaxes, and Dusclops running around with double team and toxic, and all of the high win streak pokemon will eventually just be legendaries and pseudos. I once barely took down a Tyranitar only to despair at the Zapdos that came in right afterwards. And don't forget the built-in counter-teaming in the Frontier specifically, where you're more and more likely to run into sets designed to hard check or counter your team the more you win.
    Codel is no exception. Gen 3's NPCs are devious mfers that don't give a good gosh dang about your win streak or team comp. They WILL cheese you and you WILL hold that L.
