- We know Huge Power is a crazy strong ability. But have you ever thought of what the actual Base Stats of these Pokémon would be when factoring in this ability?
We look at every Huge Power Pokémon in this video and figure out just how strong they are!

@@ArlecchinoAKAFather I let my enemies know
Man that brings me back to when gen six first came out. I was in grade 9. Good times...
In Gen 14, Huge Power Haxorus will be dropping to RU due to power creep.
This would simply that both OU and UU have mons with like 200/200 or some shit just everywhere
In Gen 14, Arceus will be dropping into little cup due to power creep.
I created a cursed Azumarill/Haxorus fusion in Pokemon infinite fusion. It's not the strongest (has like 90 base attack), but it's Outrages hurt
@@GravityIsFalling Alternatively something like priority fairy-typed extremespeed everywhere.
@@GravityIsFalling To be fair, 200-ish atk/ spatk already practically exists in Gen 9 thanks to booster energy. :P
Would be interested in seeing what a Pikachu's actual stats would look like if it could hold both Eviolite and Light Ball at the same time.
Still mid
@@Xtreme-qk5qgDidn't its thunderbolt hit harder than a thundurus-t who has 145 spa ?
Still pretty frail, not that fast, and not powerful enough to be worth it. Everything in the top 20 of OU beats it except non-Scarf Gholdengo, Assault Vest Hisuian Samurott, and Glimmora. Even Galarian Slowking 2 hit KO's this hypothetical Pikachu, and that's a defensive Pokémon.
@@maralli6940 that's the anime
@@Xtreme-qk5qgno light ball pika has crazy offensive stats.
Azumarril-huge power, belly drum, aqua jet. 👌🏾
It carried me in that Palkia raid. It just ate hits for breakfast.
@@Regeor its 🔥
It's carrying my HC Nuzlocke of a hard rom hack. Turned fights like Clay witch destroy Redux runs into a joke
Tri-Vago
Classic raid strats. XD Good ole days. I love how they changed it up though, my friend and I came up with some WILD strategies to get some wins. Raid mons that could do critical hit spam were the worst though, but Chilling Water is the best attack in the game.
Losing Mega-Mawile was such a tragedy
The worst part is that giving Mawile Huge Power instead of useless Hyper Cutter would be easy. Yes, that would give Mawile ludicrous 219 base attack basically, but every other stat except defense is *55* or lower.
SHES COMING BACK
@@youtube-kit9450Hyper Cutter is actually one of the best abilities for Mawile, since it lets you block Intimidate before Mega Evolving.
@@spamtong.spamton8416 I mean, we're talking about the current mega-less Mawile hypothetical. There I'd argue hyper cutter is less useful than the always-great intimidate if we had to replace an ability with huge power. With the Mega, I agree it's great. Also, ofc with Legends: Z-A everything gets turned upside down anyways
@@youtube-kit9450 True. I kinda just skipped over that somehow and immediately went to explaining its usefulness on a Mega one. Otherwise, Intimidate is definitely the best in general.
Ledian needs to get huge power and it also needs to have its attack and special attack stat swapped. This would also make it the fastest huge power Pokémon in the game.
Justice for Ledian
In a Pokémon fan game (Pokémon rejuvenation), ledian can use punch moves 4 times. Potentially, comet punch can hit 20 times
@@ArlecchinoAKAFatherjust give it power up punch
@@ArlecchinoAKAFatherkings rock sounds absolutely disgusting with that
A ledian with huge power would just have 70 attack though. It would be less abysmal but wouldn't be much better than something like mothim, beedrill, butterfly or vivillion
I want a Pure Power Alakazam.
My man don't do physical moves, but IF HE DID THO
Pure power should’ve doubled special attack and huge power double attack.
Bros got good coverage for it too
I like that! I think too many people just go "DURRR BIG NUMBER GO BOOM!" when it comes to stats, but some of the most interesting pokemon are those who "yes it has a higher special attack, but it's physical attack is JUST good enough that when invested, could lead to some cool stuff". I use a Contrary Lurantis for raids despite it's way lower special attack cause it can be compensated. It is slower than Serperior which I still don't have yet, but it definitely gets the job done (speed really matters in raids). I'd love to see more pokemon that utilize a weaker stat effectively like that just to change it up.
I would love to see a special attacker with like base 30 Atk get Huge Power. Imagine Alakazam smacking you with a surprisingly decent damage physical move.
Reliving the elemental punch days from before the physical/special split.
I feel like Tinkaton could've gotten Huge Power, obviously it'd need an attack nerf as 75 base plus Huge Power would be a little too much but still
Just cut 5-10 points from attack and put it into HP, speed or defense
zacian two
@@KR-wl5ydadd 70 more points it doesn't hit hard enough
A Mon with a 160 BP move feels like it needs huge power?
It hits as hard as king gambit’s iron head…and gamit does NOT need huge power
@@GravityIsFalling really just swap that attack stat with its spdef lmao
I find it interesting how differently Gamefreak treats Attack and Special Attack. There are plenty of moves and abilities that increase Attack and comparatively few that boost Special Attack. Not to mention that the upper limit for base Attack stats is generally higher than base Special Attack
But on the other hand, there's also far more counterplay against physical attacks. Intimidate is one of the best and most widespread abilities in the game and burn halves Attack and neither of these has a special-based counterpart. There's also more Pokemon with really high Defense than high Special Defense. The only Special damage mitigation that exists is Assault Vest
Well not the only one. Rock type Pokemon get a 50% sp def boost in a sandstorm. There's also the Eviolite which I'm pretty sure Game Freak had no clue would make certain pokemon bulkier than their evolved forms and only added it because of how late Unova pokemon evolve.
Other ways to punish high attack stats are Foul Play and the confusion status. Both of which are why when creating special attacking pokemon and support pokemon competitive players want to get their attack IV at 0 and want an attack lowering nature. This is also why Swagger is a staple of competitive while Fatter is never used.
Definitely interesting and I prefer it this way. There's also no SpAtk equivalent of Intimidate. Perfect symmetry would make the game much less interesting IMO and Gamefreak realise this as they've added asymmetry in types (Dark with priority, Grass with powder moves, etc.)
@@brzt4256 I feel like at the very least they should add pla frostbite into traditional pokemon, because special attackers really do not have much holding them back other than what like screens and AV.
It may not have huge power, but light ball does have the same effect for pikachu.
For those wondering, at max evs, attack boosting nature and 31 ivs, it gains an attack stat of 458.
I'm not sure what an interaction between Pure power and light ball would be so it could then either get boosted to 916 (229 x 2 x 2) or 687 (229 x 3).
Edit: changed huge to pure since I've become aware there is a practical difference between them.
Life orb's 30% boost and sheer force's 30% boost doesn't yield a 60% boost, but a 69% boost-implying that the boosts also apply to one another. In other words, ((229 x 2) x 2) = 916.
@@saltlakeatrocity9771 ty for the calculation and example.
Yeah but see the problem there is you are using a slow and frail mon so it doesn’t really matter how high you attack stat is if you don’t get to attack
@@ultimaterecoil1136 Rampardos theorem moment
@ultimaterecoil1136 My conclusion is mostly the same as yours, but "If you don't get to attack" is still an oversimplification of the actual problem. There are ways, such as focus sash, for frail pokemon to get to attack . The problem is that a pokemon being able to get a single k.o. isn't (often) enough to justify a teamslot. That each pokemon exists on a team for the end goal of one pokemon taking multiple k.o.s and that any pokemon's attacking stat is only as important as its use towards this win condition.
I think what makes Azu good with huge power despite its base attack, is also geting Belly Drum and Aqua Jet
I use Diggersby with Huge Power + Adamant Nature + Full Attack investment + Choice Band. It's Quick Attack hits like a truck
My favourite Huge Power Pokémon is Mega Medicham, beginning the battle with Fake Out is so fun and using High Jump Kick for massive damage never disappoints. Ice Punch for the strong Ground/Dragon Types in the Tier and Knock Off for those pesky Ghost Types
Fun fact: Pure Power is a different ability from Huge Power cuz it's called Yoga Power in Japanese which is very specific to Meditite line.
Edit: I watched this b4 his last video where he did mention this fact.
I remember that I faced a Medichem paired with a dragonite. The medichem used skill swap then the dragonite Tera normal ES + choice band. Holy shit it one shots everything I had.
Rampardos because it isn't enough glass cannon!
⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
Imagine he did get huge/pure power and still ends up being unused 💀
@philosiraptorjr4912 That would still probably be the case, because while Rampardos does undeniably hit very hard, it's type is bad defensively and it's stats other than attack are all mediocre to bad. Basically, it's proof that you need to do more than just hit hard to be a good Pokemon, and when I think about it, I feel like they probably made Rampardos bad in every other area intentionally to prevent it from becoming too overpowered, but they went too far in the wrong direction
@@matthewkuscienko4616it would definitely be used, off of a 165 base attack + huge power, people would either run scarf or webs or even both and sweep as a mid-late game cleaner
@@ProerBeansimagine Huge Power TRICK ROOM Ranpardos... KOs every turn.
Shedinja. Replace the strongest defensive ability with the strongest offensive ability and you go even further beyond glass cannon.
Talc Davy Crockett. It will probably fall apart before it can do anything, but when it does...
Dude u can just use transform into shedinja & it has 300+ HP then have ur partner use gaurd split & all u gotta use is sword dance and ur attack is set then u have a shedinja with 400 hp or something good defenses and wonder guard

@@johnthoppil7308 oh
Huge power shuckle it is time
👀
Ledian too.
At first i thought the 2 Pokestar "pokemon" with Huge Power might be even stronger, but it turns out they have only 100 base attack, so Mega Mawile's 105 hits harder
Huge Power is such a cool ability. Some Pokemon that would get overlooked suddenly become something to worry about in some tiers.
Personally I'd love Lopunny to get Huge Power since ever since it lost its Mega it kinda needs something to make hit hard and fast.
Tinkaton is another Pokemon that should have gotten it. It's tiny and wields a huge hammer. How did it not get Huge Power?
tinkaton's design is that of a weak pokemon that uses tools to become powerful so imo huge power doesn't fit it
Azumarill is my favorite Huge Power Pokémon because not only does it hit hard, it also tanks hits pretty well with its good HP and defense stats
We need a Special Attack version of Huge/Pure Power.
Also... Give Ledian Pure Power to make it decent!!!
I miss Mega-Mawile so much
Me too pls come back 😭
The fact that Mega Mawile's effective Attack stat is so unimaginably high that it's physically impossible to fit it in the game data as a raw stat was always so insane to me. For reference, the highest a raw stat can be is 255 because it's the highest number you can fit in a single byte.
Very small honorable mentioned goes to the Cubone family since starting in Gen 2, they have their exclusive item in Thick club which double the attack stat if held. Let's not also forget that Pikachu also has an exclusive item in Light ball, in addition to doubling attack, it also doubles special attack as well
That lil Jon what took me tf out lol
Thank you, I've been playing Pokémon for awhile but I've always struggled to properly scale huge power mons. All I know is that it's strong
Super helpful video!
I have an adamant medicham named Fonda Lynn (short for Fonda Lynn Balls) pumped with proteins in my platinum replay rn and im so glad i found this video to learn her true power
Would be interested in more videos with stat breakdowns. I know sometimes certain HP values are preferred for substitute, shed tail, regenerator mons
Wigglytuff should get Huge Power. It's bunny like
Going for guildmaster wigglytuff, huh?
@@starmantheta2028lol
Please make more of this, With Marowak, Pikachu, Evolite
And Sheer Force... Because if Nidoking can have a Good special attack with the Sheer Force Life orb interaction
O think many would be interested on the real number
Eviolite mons is a great idea I could do a whole video about. Would be cool to do one with those other mons with signature items. Clamperl and its items also come to mind.
If my math is mathing, with all their signature items marowak would have an effective attack stat of 209, pikachu a stat of 159 and clampearl a special attack of 197
@@steamed_ham1767 isn't that stronger than Kyogre?
damm
cant wait for gen 13's As One (Intrepid Sword + Huge Power). Oh and thats not including the choice band.
10:49 sums up the shock of their sheer power.
Tinkaton should have had this ability with that damn hammer lmao
That thing would be way too fkn cracked lol
Not mentioning Belly Drum Azumaril is a crime. He deserves better!
Belly drum huge power aqua jet azumarill is kinda broken while being decently defensive with its hp and typing and ALSO being a super cute mon, I love the marill line.
Was it great with a Z-Crystal on?
Medicham in sv got skill swap, which can make any other behemoth have pure power... in doubles this *could* be crazy
Well, level 100 adamant nature Diggersby MIGHT be hitting pretty hard due to Huge Power BUT level 100 Pick-up Diggersby can find rare candies and shit, sooooo....
I remember using Megamawile in gen 6 on smogon so many undeserved wins lol
While not exactly the same since the calcs are different, how powerful is Araquanid with water bubble compared to other water mons?
Imagine huge power Marowak with thick club
For some reason, i thought mega medicham had higher base attack. Like a 120 range, which would have made pure power redundant. But with 100 base power its not quite justifying its mega slot, so it makes sense that they just made it do "yes" damage
i personally think that Wigglytuff deserves access to huge power. I think it thematically fits, as it is shown to be secretly powerful despite its appearance (in a certain game). Its rabbit cousins azumarill and diggersby, which aren’t all that different from it, get it so wigglytuff could. It would also be monstrous. 70 base attack is insane.
Cool video bro, but did you see the Gorilla?
The fact that a fully attack stat-invested adamant DIGGERSBY is literally 1 point stronger than a fully attack stat-invested adamant REGI-F*CKING-GIGAS (and who isn't even being hampered by his sh*tty ability) blows my f*cking mind! 😆Ah, good times...
I wish there was a special attack equivalent ability to huge power so that Wigglytuff could finally be good
Most prople don't realize that this abbility is thened around rabbit pokemon and it comes from some japanese folklor. So it would only fit bunny pokemon like cinderace or magearna and not other things like tinkaton or marowak
If mawile falls under rabbits (which is weird cause mawile is based off of a different japanese folklore) then the more rabbit-like tinkaton should also get it
@@manicyume If tinkaton looks like a rabbit then Grubbin looks kinda scary. Intimidate for this bug. Same logic
Medicham can use skill swap now, meaning (almost) everyone can have Pure Power now.
U wanna know how to really break huge power mons if u use power split it increases its base stats so it’s weak 150 becomes like 350 or something ontop of huge power but the real mvp ability is fur coat with evolite or assault vest & then guard split
huge power also doubles body press so giving it to a shuckle and giving shuckle body press would be cool
No it's not. Huge power doubles the attack and body press uses defense. But you can just use fur coat which actually doubles defense
@@olafmikoaj3121 The whole "huge power doubles atk" is just for comparison to other mons. It actually just doubles whatever damage you would have dealt without it while furcoat havles the damage you would have taken. In other words yes huge power does increase bodypress's damage while furcoat does not. In this same vein choice band increases bodypress's damage too.
@@fedfwededwe Aw that makes sense. Than you for information
@@olafmikoaj3121 no thats actually wrong. defense modifiers like iron defense boost body press but fur coat does not. attack modifiers that arent swords dance style stat boosts like choice bands or huge power do boost body press though
@@olafmikoaj3121 also why rhyperior has better body press than rhydon with eviolite bc the eviolite doesnt increase the damage
I'll still take Mega Lucario with Adaptivility. Close combat everything! So dangerous, one SD and its GG. Hopefully you can do top megas in Pokemon go.
imagine if M-mawile could hold band or scarf
Huge Power Diggersby ❤
Big number make me happy
I think rampardos should get huge power. It would still be a terrible mon, and I don’t even think huge power would be much of a buff since it pretty much already OHKO’s everything it manages to hit, but I need that overkill
I was playing showdown with some friends and Mawile is my favorite pokemon so i used them, i did 3 swords dances and their attack was at 2700. At that point i just sucker punched everything
The one ability regigigas should've had
Give. Tinkaton. Huge. Power!
Is it weird that I want Huge Power on Staraptor? That’s a scary thought.
Bedroom should get huge power as a hidden ability!
Come on pokemon give us huge brain or feline prowess. A Special version of Huge Power. And also a special burn to counter those.
Medicham has skill swap. So I swapped it onto a palafin which is absurd.
they should give mega heracross huge power. would just be funny
Power trick Shuckle: weaklings.
I miss Mega Mawile so much
stats are not complicated. its just ((2*baseStat + EVs/4 + IVs) * Lv)/100 + 5 and then natures take effect after that
Give it to Deoxys Attack, for fun!
I’ve learned that huge power is WAY MORE OP than I thought, also I think Regigigas needs huge power(after 5 turns).
5 turns is still a really long time four an opponent two do whatever or phase you out. Peronally I think it’d be funny if regigigas got comatose
Weavile needs access to huge power. It would immediately turn into the best dragon amd psychic slayer in the game instead of just top 20. With a base 125 speed even legendaries struggle to out speed it.
Give Huge Power to Regigigas
Ledian needs huge power
is there a way to tell a mons "effective base stat" without going through the trouble of calculating it
At lvl 50, take a mons base stat, assuming perfect IVs add 20
For HP you need to add 75
@@GravityIsFalling i meant after modifiers such as huge power or intrepid sword
@@sheeplol2161uh yeah, do what they just said, and add the modifier, it’s just doubled
If you want to do literally no math at all, work on memorizing
@@corrymuth2997 their method doesnt work at level 100, + i want to know what base stat without modifiers would be equivilant to the base stat with modifiers
Yeah, googling it.
Give Wigglytuff Huge Power 🥲
Diggersby is literally big chungus
Tinkaton huge power Gigaton Hammer 😮💨
Base mawile should wave Huge Power when lost the mega
tinkaton shouldve gotten huge power so it actually hits hard with gigaton hammer
Thanks for the maths lesson
Give it to Machamp. 😭😭😭
Give it to Flygon
Bring him back
regigigas's ability should switch to it after 5 turns
My favorite Pokemon with Huge Power is Monaka!
But Seriously it's Mega Mawile.
As for Pokemon I think should get it let me bring up my Goggle Doc that lists ability and type changes I would pitch if I could. Going for mostly Thematically, not blanice mind you.
* Machamp
* Snorlax (My favorite)
* Goulrurk
* Tinkaton
What does thematically even mean? I see people use it a lot when buffing a Mon (usually they say it and do some shit like giving dialga the ability to shoot the opposing player)
@@GravityIsFalling It means you don't want to give out buffs that seem strange on the Pokemon
Like Snolrax getting Extremespeed.
Give huge power to tinkaton
Then moves other than gigaton hammer will hit hard, and that defeats the point of tinkaton
Swampert shoukd get it or atleast swift swim
Diggersbi tho
Melmetal needs Hugepower
Give slaking huge power
skill swap exists on medicham.
@@Ubernewb111 but i want both pure power medicham and huge power slaking.
Tinkaton deserves huge power
What about a huge power slaking
I personally believe Kyurem Black should get huge power
The only part about huge power that stinks is you can't ability swap it.
In my opinion, Zarude deserves this ability
120 Atk, you’re picky
Tough Claws is more fitting and balanced
@@goGothitaLOL true. But what I'm trying to say is Zarude needs a better ability, your idea is even better than mine
😅 I wanna see huge power mega mewtwo x
I don't like these abilities that much nowadays. If you want a Pokemon to have a high Attack, just give it a high base Attack.
Mas essa é a graça da habilidade: Dar poder de fogo a Pokémon com BST terrível
Honestly it's a pretty clever way to make an early route mon function like raticate in game but becomes a monster when you get it's hidden ability for competitive like Diggersby
@@MarloMaverickk Good point. But without Huge Power, it is really weak, even for early game rodents. But I've never played the games featuring him and I'm also aware that Raticate variants were most useful as HM slaves in the early gens, so eh.
Nah it's a nice way to make a Pokemon strong while also freeing up base stat points to be allocated elsewhere. Medicham shouldn't be running around with the same BST as some legendaries
@@Thund3rDrag0n12 You know that the users have a pretty low BST, right. And that if they could increase their Atk by 110 and the BST would still be that of a nonlegendary.
this video made me realize Huge Power's name in Japanese translates to "MuscleMan"
You know who else got a huge power?
Your mom?
I wish stats were more linear sometimes cause it confuses me sometimes
For competitiveness, we also need to look at lv 50, with maximum EV in relevant stat and appropriate nature. :v
The day regigigas finally wakes up and gains huge power then the world shall know terror
