@@wonderfulrose477 Anything Goes and Almost Any Ability are two very different tiers.

Top 5 Biggest Assholes in Pokemon: 5. Giovanni 4. Volo 3. Lusamine 2. Ghetsis 1. Paras in Legends Arceus Honorable Mention: that NPC in DPPt that trades you a Haunter for a Haunter but it’s holding an everstone
I need to add, since I’m emotionally invested in this, that that trainer doesn’t trade haunter for haunter. It trades haunter for medicham. You can’t even get them back with an everstone on future play throughs
Imagine my sadness when 2 of my favorite Pokémon ever are the first ones you see on a slideshow about Pokemons biggest assholes But with that said, fuck Gliscor
As much as I like Lilligant, its Hissuian form is basically just a direct upgrade. Given that standard Lilligant was already worth running with Torkoal, adding in the Hissuian form was bound to cause issues.
Another thing to note is that Torkoal + Lilligant standard are both special attackers, making it much more forgiving to wall them with special walls, but Lilligant-H threatens that Close Combat to the face.

Man, just kingambit, you can just have him left and reverse sweep for no other reason that you were dominated all along but your tera type was not what the oponent guessed. peak competitive pokemon
Hustle Liligant is the most frustrating to use. With the 75% sleep powder and the 80% on wll your attacking moves and the absurd power after a victory dance theres full potential to destroy an entire team but you'll end up having a crucial miss and be dead having accomplished nothing. Even wide lens doesnt change much
Not even a mention for the GOAT of being an asshole, PLA Paras, I was a Paras enjoyer until I played PLA, why did they make him ready to throw hands whenever you're in a 20km radius to him
Dengo actually *can* get statused, by secondary effects (example: thunderbolt's para chance), it's the ONLY weakness it has besides being relatively slower than other mons. Garga is the guy who is completely immune to statuses.
Also outside of open team sheets, there is not way to tell which Urshifu form the opponent has until they bring it out. Why did GF make them completely identical?
I feel like Indeedee, while its dex entry says it feeds of gratitude, it can also feed off of pain. As for a Pokémon I consider evil, it would be Walrein. It always cheats its way into ending your Battle Frontier run early.
Need a followup with anti-meta pokemon since they sort of fall into this category by removing the opponents options, 3 of them are already on this list (being psychic terrain indeedee, no protect urshifu, and no support gholdengo), but iron tail farigiraf and neutralyzing gas weezing deserves a mention too.
@@ElectricWindGirlFriend offthought, unaware mons and arena trap/magnet pull/shadow tag could maybe fall into this list too, though the trapping abilities might be a little too strong to fall into this section (could get it's own clip).
I love Gliscor and Hisuian Lilligant I understand the irritation from playing against them though Lol. Gliscor is problem on mono heavy boots teams but I think that's more of a stall problem. 😅😂
Love to pair Charizard with H.Lilligant because both great sun users. Either use sash for survival or wide lenses to boost sleep powder to over 80 accuracy.
gliscor will wall your team entirely if you lose a mon or two because eq + hazards + toxic + toxic orb blocks status and knock off + high def and stall presence
I should've mentioned it in the video, but Hisuian Lilligant is mainly annoying in doubles because it can get the Chlorophyll boost turn 1 with Torkoal.
I really did try to keep up with GameFreak's insane powercreep as of late, but the fact Urshifu having an ABILITY THAT IGNORES PROTECT completely flying under my radar with me somehow not knowing about that until now just really goes to show how ridiculous it's become. How could I miss that (I don't use protect very often, so thats probably why)
Game Freak: Your concerns about Gholdengo have reached us. We decided to put an end to the frustration regarding Gholdengo by giving it a much deserved evolution!
Shoutouts to Gen 1 Slowbro. It's always fun having to drop whatever you're doing to hit something as hard and fast as you can, unless you like automatically losing, right?
I think they should introduce nore movies or abilities to hit through Protect, Urshifu's just busted regardless. Protect's strong as hell and could use more counterplay
And then there's Great Tusk. Not only does it have good typing, it has amazing stats, can perform multiple roles simultaneously without drawback other than being limited to 4 moves, has access to almost every type coverage imaginable. It also has free stat boosts from its ability in sunlight, can buff itself if you fit it into the movepool and is so strong that it's basically a mandatory "you must counter this Pokemon" for every team..." yet not strong enough for ubers.
not as viable today but Togekiss used to be one of the biggest assholes ever using T-Wave to para and then flich locking you with air slash it was such a gross strat back in the day
I'll never get over how they gave Gligar such a God forsaken glow up, like it got literally everything it could ask for. Remember how your tail shot poison? Yeah, now you heal from Toxic how about that? And Hyper Cutter was niche for you? Well here's a better attack stat to go along with that solid defensive type and stats. What's that, why not just use Landorus?... Ice Fang- Also I feel that Lilligant rant so much 🥲
When Indeedee uses "follow me" in double battles, both opposing pokemon have to direct their moves at it, giving Indeedee's Psychic Type teammate freedom to set up Trick Room. In addition to this Indeedee can also set up Trick Room itself, so if for some reason the opponent can ignore follow me and attack Indeedee's teammate, the teammate can just use protect, while she sets trick room anyway.
Follow me forces most* single target enemy moves to target the user, allowing the second pokemon to set up trick room safely(or set up, or avoid taking super effective hits... Rage powder amoongus and follow me ogerpon-wellspring are common in doubles for a reason). *Certain moves like snipe shot and abilities like propeller tail ignore redirection, but they are very rare and almost never see use.
People really underestimate how stupidly hard H-litigant hits with solar blade even without hustle or a boosting item, it can cause a lot of mind games. Not to mention it has a signature move that’s just physical quiver dance it barely even needs.

urshifu deserves a new form called electric wind strike because he's always with tornadous and iron handles
and make its signature move a 100% flinch chance so if you're faster you can spam it like the actual ewgf

This is understandable. Knowing that even just 1 of ur fav pokemons is doing good competitively is a good feeling.
Fun fact: none of these pokémon exist in ADV OU, thus making it the best metagame of all time
