Pokémon With LOW Base Stats Who Are GOOD Competitively

- A Pokémon's competitive usefulness often heavily relies on its base stats. But there are a handful of mons with a low base stat total who still have thrived competitively.
We look at the best of the bunch in this video!
Apologies for the mic issues on the "plosions" will try to be more aware of it in upcoming videos!

You earned yourself a pinned comment 📍
Holy shit goddamn, but also touch grass my guy
@@yay842i do that enough, playing competitive has learned me a lot
i don‘t get it
Pachirisu has a BST of 405, and is iconic for that one doubles championship a while back.
pachirisu shortly succumbed to Draco meteors injuries after sejun won worlds,causing it to never be used again😞
And it's stat spread isn't like minmaxed either that thing has the stats of a middle evo
But the pokemon available for that one was very limited.
sableye is the most iconic shenanigans causer. he’s simply just a lil gremlin causing mayhem, what’s not to love?
You might say it's a real Prankster.
It's surprising the strategies it... ensabled!
Pokemon basically are mathematical monstrosities with four distinct parts: Base stats, movepools, typings, and (beginning in gen 3) abilities. Some pokemon are blessed with all four of these things being incredible (Zacian-Crowned comes to mind) and are obviously insane as a result. Most pokemon, though, are strong on some of these categories and weak in others, which is fantastic, it just means each pokemon has its own strengths and weaknesses.
Bad base stats are manageable if you have a great ability, great movepool, and/or a great typing. Great base stats are incredible, but can't always carry a bad typing and movepool. They're just part of a whole, which is part of what makes pokemon such an interesting game! :)
And then there's Regigigas and Slaking, two Pokemon so held back by their Abilities that removing them is not only a good thing, but makes them absolute terrors.
Poor Bibarel... a mere 5 stat points TOO HIGH to make the list. And Bidoof is just a pre-evolution copy which kind of disqualifies him too...
I mean bibarel was unironically in ubers. Moody too stronk.
So stronk that even BIDOOF became overpowered in gen 5...@@guymcperson9300
3:40 "it has its own button on the Showdown Calculator so you know it's good"

I for one welcome our Clef overlords
Every Pokémon with Prankster have seen some usage in VGC (even Liepard or Riolu)
Murkrow all day
3:09 lopunny and mega loppuny squish a raichu
Thy got thou acting most un-wise batman
Friend Guard Clefairy is VERY unfun to go against...also, saw you using Fezandipiti!!! Love that Pokemon! Your editing is cute and funny, nice video!
3:08 - 3:09 wtf bro
Nobody tell Matt about this lmaoo
I'm feeling a little hot under the collar all of a sudden... 🥵 guess I need a drink because I'm really THIRSTY for some reason.
You're watching a Pokemon video it comes in the territory.
Even if it was a person there, remember that Arceus exist, this is a perfectly regular canon occurrence, move on
Shedinja is worth mentioning IMO
Nieche scout with switching, swapping with your other pokemon on the field. Or just use follow me. Shedinja is my favourite. I like immunities, bug pokemon(i always use one in gen 3 and the remackes). And much later i became a ghost pokemon fenatic.
bro put king's shield twice in smeargle section
One was supposed to be Quick Guard💀
I was thinking masquerain for intimidate + webs usage in ubers at points, but its bst is 414
Peak vids
In generations 1-6, Dugtrio has a bst of 405. Notable because of arena trap being banned in every generation since 4 now
Parasect had a niche in VGC (it wasn’t a good niche but it hard punished Kyogre locked into a water move)
Shedinja is funny in VGC with ally switch and wonder guard, and also hilariously walls Kyogre and other very threatening Ubers
Shedinja has had good results in VGC despite its awful stats.
That's because its Wonder Guard ability helps it blank teams without a Ghost, Dark, Rock, Fire or Flying move. Granted, Heat Wave and Hurricane are fairly common, but being immune to damage from EVERY OTHER TYPE is still a great boon. Entry hazards are also pretty much non-existent in VGC - the only worthwhile Spikes setter is Hisuian Samurott, since it sets up Spikes while ALSO dealing damage with Ceaseless Edge.
@@JanusHoWI know about its ability, and why it can't make it in singles. I think it is a niche but good pick in VGC if it can check some of metagame's key threats or assist dealing with popular team comps.
Clefable is proof that base stats aren’t everything.
Baselclin it is i have used basculijn black as there is no water type but it is nice with adaptability so i know
❤
(0:01) El Guapo
moddy was also banned to ubbers
i know that its stats are too high for this list but both pelliper and torkoal went from zu tier shitmons to ou staples in one generation just because they got a weather changing ability in gen 7 (too bad gigalith who also got a weather ability in gen 7 still is a zu shitmon)
I mean it was food in RU once... And then instantly fell off a cliff but like
Has anyone ever told you that you sound like the Number 15 Burger King Foot Lettuce guy?
The last thing I want in my comment section is these nasty comments. But as it turns out, that just might be what I gët
Here early
I'm sorry you mean once in every existing gen and to this day in gen 3 ou only because it isn't banned. don't trash talk my man diglett
