    The Krookodile is not only my favorite dark type. But one of my favorite pokemon of all time. And seeing Krookodile used like the beast that he is makes me very happy. Good job all around though.

    Favorite dark type is Houndoom. Also, have two video ideas. A Black and White 2 bug-type only, since there's only 2 videos of it, with the naming convention being Spider-Man villains. The other being a Black and White 2 poison nuzlocke, the only other one was a wipe, with the naming convention being X-men villains.

      Same. Though even in the marvel universe they are father and daughter but there was a point in time that loki and hela were non blood related best friends (sweethearts really but almost lovers. Young love is the best way to describe it. But older loki yanked the dinner cloth off of younger loki table and took the food along with it) after that though loki has referred to hela as his daughter.

    Obstagoon won my heart rather quickly as a dark type, but my real favorite is actually Zorua, who I finally got to use in a full playthrough in Ultra Sun (it, noibat, and lopunny had never been on my team before that game but became some top tiers for me afterwards).
    And Anime Olympia is way more epic than In Game Olympia as she is a Double Battle gym.

    9:33 Flying Press is a fighting-type move, not a flying-type move. It does additional Flying-type damage, not the other way around.
    This is generally irrelevant, however there are some applications. For example, if you hit a Grass type with it, a Coba Berry wouldn’t work, but a Chople Berry would, even if the Pokémon isn’t normally weak to Fighting. It also turns Kecleon into a Fighting type, and so on.

    • @yoshpeters3079
      @yoshpeters3079 Před rokem +1

      But that’s not fair it needs to be balanced. It needs to count as fighting and flying and hit ghosts and the berries to weaken fighting and flying work.

    • @lukaskback9710
      @lukaskback9710 Před rokem +4

      @@yoshpeters3079 yeah no, that’s literally just not how the game functions. Every move has 1 type, regardless of its other mechanics. If it was both types, it:
      - Would break the in-game graphics.
      - Wouldn’t work with Protean/Colour Change.
      - Would calculate STAB incorrectly.
      - Wouldn’t work if the user is Dynamaxed
      etc.
      Pokémon is based around it moves having 1 type, and making technical exceptions would break a lot of things. This is the same reason why Dhelmise doesn’t have 3 types, but instead an ability to simulate it.
