Quick edit: i mentioned delta stream changing stealth rock, this was a mistake on my part. Think i was thinking rock moves and we wrote this instead .Check out my previous discussion on why Blaziken was finally unbanned after 10 years and sub for more, I do these discussion vids 3-4 times a month: czcams.com/video/eoqmADichWo/video.html
Ok cause like I thought I was tripping with that
when the 180 atk 252 ev adamant max iv v create with 4x atk
megas overall disappointed me; their initial concept of making weaker pokemon have the stats to take on legendaries was great, but they just had to make mega legendaries and pseudos
@@azaanmaqbool2282 can kill anything with just Extreme speed 🚅💨
Just kidding 😂 but That would be insane Damage to anything 🔥🔥
@@SriNu_CSD yeh, imagine if it also was fire type and had adaptability and fire tera, that would be the strongest move ever
Rayquaza definitively proved that power creep isn’t just in small increments. Mega ray made mons and megas that came out in the same generation obsolete
Primal Groudon? Surf effortlessly deletes it because delta stream bypasses desolate land. Even regular rayquaza could do that
@@wowb1965 bro missed the point
Back when Mega Ray was yet to be banned, the S-tier Mega Salamence was like a C-tier pick. That's how insane Mega Ray was in warping a metagame.
@@wowb1965 this nigga stupid
@@butteredsalmonella Yea why would anyone use Mega Mence when Mega Mega Mence existed lmao
Mega Rayquaza is the one time gamefreak made gameplay truly reflective of the lore. Can you imagine if Arceus had gotten the same treatment?
They did. Arceus in PLA can use a tablet that makes its moves always super effective by changing types mid battle to whatever is best
@@Citridile Fr, Legends Arceus really did God justice.
@@Citridile Why the devs at Gamefreak thought a Pokemon with more base stats than Arceus was a good idea is beyond me----unless they were planning to introduce some new Arceus form later with higher stats, which while Arceus was buffed in PLA----its stats are the same.
One can only hope for an 'Arceus Point-0' form with 877 base stat total or something like that, but since the Gen 4 pre-make and remake season is over that probably won't ever happen, at least not for a long time.
Mega Rayquaza definitly needs some buffs to it's stats since we have more broken pokemon in last 2 generations.
It was said in PLA that the arceus we own was only a fragment
People probably feel safer knowing this mon is guarding the planet from meteors.
Definitely
Mega Rayquaza doesnt guard planet from meteors. Arceus guards meteors from Mega Rayquaza. Its just some very unlucky ones that pass through, as meeting mega ray is literally being forsaken by the god
"Tiers? You mean tears."
-Mega-ray, probably
In the Silent Realm, no one can hear you cry.
Mega ray fear nothing so it find nothing and destroy it
Indubitably
Raycraycray
I miss megas so much. Tera and z moves are neat but don't even come close to how cool megas were...
I like how Dynamax wasn’t even mentioned lol
@@user112sqsa12 least they were better than stupid dynamax
@@user112sqsa12 Z moves>>>Dynatrash
We got the return of fat pikachu what you talkin about?
@@user112sqsa12 Dynamax was more garbage then Z-Moves. It wasn't interesting at all and was super overcentralizing in Singles. Z-Moves were basically Gems in Gen V but you could only use one of them.
It also sort of established Ubers as a proper tier. Before Mega-Ray, it was seen as the banlist for OU that also happened to be a playable tier.
It’s still a ban list, cause things don’t rise and drop from Ubers...,,
@@DigitalRag3X umm?zamazenta was almost dropped
@@exaunitive4948 Normally, a Pokemon would drop a tier by usage stats. Iron Hands going from OU to UU for example. In Zamazenta and Kyurem-Black's case, they were instead a community-based decision rather than a statistics-based decision. Deoxys-Normal for example has zero usage but will never ever be considered for OU.
@@butteredsalmonella they’d need a BL category for in between OU and Ubers
I really love the Hoenn trio.
Groudon and Kyogre were "The all time" Uber tier choices for the sole reason that so many teams are centered around them.
And then there's Rayquaza. The Progenitor of AG and the "Wild card" that can be used to counter weather based teams.
I love that AG is also what the hoenn saga of the anime is called
This video was a joy to edit. Thanks to everybody that watched and support. Joey always considers your feedback so leave it down bellow.
Good job editing man!
I really loved it!
@@unremainings Thank you.
Well I have some feedback, he should learn how to pronounce Rayquaza correctly
This has always been one of my favorite stories, about how Mega-Ray was so powerful that they had to create a new rule which said that if there was no rule against using Mega-Ray, than there weren't allowed to be rules against anything at all.
(And then even that rule got broken by Fun-Bro's assault on the very idea of playing the game)
It was fun to play it. When Mega Rayquaza was annouced, we all sat and read the power ups in disbelief. We had been graced with a god.
Rayquaza always has been one of my favorite legendary. And let me tell ya, being able to just spam Draco ascent and sweep teams like if you where playing against an npc, is kinda wholesome
Opponent zigzagoon: absolutely disintegrated leaving no bones behind after being hit by dragon ascent mega ray with dragon dance power up
"kinda wholesome innit"
Agreed, Rayquaza is the perfect legendary Pokemon
Cool design+Mega evolution+ one of the strongest Pokemon
Mega ray was so goated 💙 the funny thing about mega ray in AG is that, even as its creator, it wasn't at the top of the AG viability rankings (only being A+). That honor went to klefki of all pokemon 😂
Really? What made klefki so good in ag as opposed to its regular tiering? It sure couldnt have been the paraswag combination?
For anyone wondering why klefki- in gen 6, the combination of swagger+foul play is banned, as well as having multiple of the same pokemon. Foul play+TWave+sub+swagger on a prankster klefki lets you confuse them with swagger, set up a sub with priority and wait for them to get confused, then beat them down with foul play, which uses their now boosted attack to kill them. 6 klefki gets you 6 chances to use the strat, and klefki has fairy coverage to kill mega sableye which is pretty much the only realistic counter to this in AG. It was good in the same way revive cats is good in modern NDex AG, it’s just very difficult-to-counter cheese.
@@Natibe_ Revive cats needs to die. Thankfully extreme speed is goated
@@matteodotdpsatgmaildotcom2451 swaggerplay was a factor but it was also some other things. The first is that no matter which mons are in an Uber or above tier, Xerneas is still one of the top 3 endgame threats after ekiller and Mray. There was no ndm in Gen 6 AG. So keys was one of the premier Xern checks. In addition, it was a spiker who also threatened darkrai with twave, making it nearly useless. Keys is nearly useless vs Don, in a 1v1, but the ability to throw up spikes in Ubers will always be useful.
@Natibe_ swagger, foul play, twave and sub is the combo I used on liepard when I played RU in gen 5 lol
Not only did Rayquaza pave the way to a new tier entirely but I still think he sits at the top of his throne in Anything Goes! Great vid I'm loving these, keep em coming!
Zacian-C is easily more viable in AG, but M Rayquaza is far more 'broken' in the literal sense.
I truly believe it can never exist in a proper metagame. It's the very antithesis to balance itself. Can run a hundred sets and nullify every of its counter, has immediate power and setup options, access to priority and is deceivingly bulky. It turns the a meta into a guessing game, where there is not even a good guess available.
@@ducminhduong9873 I've always felt like Zacian-C was considered the peak of modern day powercreep. Even though Mega Ray was the straw that broke the camel's back, Zacian-C is essentially the perfect offensive Pokemon, even moreso than Mega Ray IMO. One of the fastest Pokemon in the game, arguably best typing in the game, near perfect coverage, SD, and immediate raw power that could even surpass Mega Ray itself. Mega Ray has a lot more versatility, but I think that's what makes Zacian-C so insane to me. It's not really that versatile, and it doesn't even matter. All it needs is the same 3 moves while occasionally swapping around SD and extra coverage to completely break the game in half. It can do all this without even having the luxury of running an actual benefiting item that isn't Rusted Sword. Truly insane.
@@Forged4War206 imagine you could've given Zacian C. a Life Orb or Leftovers on top of all that nonsense it had lmao. It's so disgusting, I don't even want to imagine that
@@Forged4War206 At the very least zacian got nerfed kinda hard, unlike mray.
@@daboss4318 Agreed, with the next to Zacian, Rayquaza has more raw power if Zacian switches out and DD Rayquaza is still busted and can OHKO any version of Zacian. Zacian still has the type and speed adv both are the best of what they do and brings out the potential of their stats and move sets
*Rayquaza in 2014*
_”AND THIS- IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND”_
I fully and unironically believe that Gamefreak should make more of these, pokemon that are so ridiculously broken that you see them and think "why would they ever make this?"
They did with Zacian and Eternamax Eternatus
They need to make an unkillable wall ,smeargle but better, a perfect hazard setter and then a perfect wall breaker to like make people panic. Each individual one not being in the same gen of course we need to keep them separate so that ag becomes its own tier.
@@Thund3rDrag0n12 tbf Eternamax Eternatus is not playable for AG tho, only in Pure Hackmons, where it made the tier unplayable lol
Just make Arceus have a 255 on every single stat
I would love for them to have a mon with zero or the lowest amount of speed possible but have it tank hits and hit like a truck lol
The opening days of Anything Goes were amazing to see. Teams of 6 Rayquazas everywhere so people started running teams of 6 Klefkis to murder them, so then teams started running Numel to counter the Klefki teams and so on.
klefki beats megaray?
@@zaradoe5422 prankster + swagger + foul play shenanigans beats it
6 bigass dragons vs 6 keychains
Don’t forget to slightly balance Mega-Ray they could at least have had the move he needed to learn to Mega be bad, but instead Dragon Ascent is a great move you’d want on Ray regardless.
why would you want Dragon Ascent to be bad. GF doesn't have to create pokemon that fit in a niche hobby some people have(1v1 singles). They have to create a pokemon that millions and millions will love to play with in their story. They succeeded in their task and I hope to see more once every few generations
Keep in mind between the Super Ancient Pokemon signature moves Dragon Ascent is the only one with a negative effect if Game freak truly wanted to be funny they could’ve given it an ancient power effect on top of the base 120 power it already had
@@kartiksaraf4676 I didn't say I wanted it, but it is another way they could've balanced Mega-Ray. Most Megas have to carry an otherwise worthless item that precludes you from using another item. Ray gets to just have a move that is honestly amazing for him even if it didn't give him the Mega, and he can have a held item of his choice as well thank you very much. It's funny how obviously unbalanced he is.
But to be clear, I don't actually have any huge problem in them creating the odd super-unbalanced Poke. As you alluded to, he's fun to use for a casual player.
@@dayvonlouis5187 Given how Game Freak are continually upping the ante with broken moves and Pokémon, I wouldn't rule out getting something as broken as that someday.
One thing I learned: Ultra Necrozma can comfortably tank a V-create, but Dragon Dance, Life Orb boosted Earthquake from Mega Rayquaza WILL put it into Extreme Speed range. I would know: it actually happened to me back in Gen 8 National Dex AG. I tried what I could, even attempting to use Ditto to reverse sweep, but it still wasn't enough. I could do nothing but helplessly, hopelessly watch as Mega Rayquaza laid waste to my whole team. (At that time, I believe my team was Zacian-C, Necrozma-DM/Ultra Necrozma, Zygarde, Ditto, Yveltal, and Ho-Oh)
Fear strats
@@Ubernewb111 I see, but I don't like to run FEAR strats at all. I like to fight more honorably. (My definition of "honorable": no FEAR strats and no evasion strats.)
@@royal_kim1154 There's nothing honourable or dishonourable about using FEAR. It's simply a bad strategy that only works against players that have no idea how to play pokemon and instaloses to any one of the 15,000,000 mechanics that counter it.
@RoYaL_Kim 115 MEGA RAY USERS DERSERVE NO SUCH HONOR.
in any case prankster TW would probably be effective
@@Ubernewb111 If it does make you feel any better, tho, back in Gen 8 National Dex AG one time (at that time, I was using a mono-Psychic team consisting of Gothitelle, Mewtwo (with Mewtwonite Y), Lugia, Calyrex-Shadow, Lunala, and Necrozma-DM (with Ultranecrozmium Z so that it would become Ultra Necrozma. This team was a for funsies team.) My opponent had Yveltal, Ho-Oh, Necrozma-DM, Mega Rayquaza, Arceus-Dark, and Calyrex-Shadow. Long story short: my opponent still had Rayquaza, Calyrex-Shadow (whom my Lugia paralyzed earlier, and was at 68% health thanks to an Aeroblast from my Lugia), Ho-Oh, and Yveltal left. Necrozma-DM was my last Pokemon...but I Ultra Bursted, and my opponent went for V-create, which hit for resisted damage (still roughly around 44% of my health tho). I set up a Dragon Dance, his Mega Rayquaza (who was only at 1 HP thanks to my Mega Mewtwo Y's Nasty Plot boosted Psystrike) went for Extreme Speed, which left me at like 22% health remaining. Ultra Necrozma proceeded to show my opponent why USUM players feared it. I reverse swept his team with a Photon Geyser to finish off his Rayquaza, a Stone Edge for Yveltal, I used Light That Burns The Sky on Ho-Oh, and finished the reverse sweep with Earthquake on Calyrex-S. Good times...(I even nicknamed my Ultra Necrozma "Galeem")
My opponent's POV:
"Mega Rayquaza used V-create! It's not very effective..."
*Ultra Necrozma's theme begins playing*
My opponent: Uh...why do I hear boss music?
USUM players: We all had to suffer, now so do you.
"The opposing Galeem used Dragon Dance! The opposing Galeem's Attack rose! The opposing Galeem's Speed rose!"
"Mega Rayquaza used Extreme Speed! The opposing Galeem used Photon Geyser! Mega Rayquaza fainted!"
"Go! Yveltal! The opposing Galeem used Stone Edge! It's super effective! Yveltal fainted!"
"Go Ho-Oh! The opposing Galeem surrounded itself with its Z-Power! The opposing Galeem unleashes its full-force Z-Move! *Light That Burns The Sky* Ho-Oh fainted!"
"Go Calyrex! The opposing Galeem used Earthquake! Calyrex fainted! You lost to RoYaL_Kim 115!"
No joke: I had a rating of 1710 at the time, and my opponent had a rating of 1770. After my Ultra Necrozma reverse swept his team, I gained 23 rating, and my opponent lost 23 rating.
Oh man, this needing to be explained makes me feel so old. I remember how huge Mega Rayquaza needing its own tier was.
Rayquaza got me into Pokémon, back in Black/White era. When ORAS hit, I was glad it got the “so OP it’s in its own league” status.
God I remember those first few weeks of ubers. Xy ubers was one of my fav metas ever and I was really excited to load it up when oras came out, just to quickly discover that every single team I played for two weeks straight was mega Ray, two primals, geo xern, arceus and one more mon of choice (wow so creative)
Wild to think I remember the creation of the "banned to quadruple ubers" tier as a part of Pokémon history that I lived through.
Great video! The blunder cameo was mindblowing. Truly one of the agency moments of all time
Glad you enjoyed it.
I still want to see Dynamaxed Mega Rayquaza using a Z-Move
You wanna blow up the planet?
252+ SpA Rayquaza-Mega Devastating Drake (195 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Arceus-Water: 283-334 (63.7 - 75.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
I expected more to be honest
Damn i remember that month
I was trying to make Uber content and thought there is no way M.Quaza was so busted.
My god. I saw people running it with scarf to outspeed and lay waste to everything.
Very nice video Joey!
Keep em coming.
Thanks for watching bro
@@XENON3120 :)
RIP natdex AG. You will be missed.
Another cool video that would be interesting is how the creation of the AG tier lead to Arceus being ban in it in the 4th gen Uber metagame and the impact of this change
I like that mega rayquaza briefly made all the other Uber megas unusable because playing without it would be playing at a disadvantage.
U could mega ray without a stone, what made it broken was that it can also hold an item
Then P. Groudon took its place
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should”
Hey Joey, I think this is a really cool start to more story-themed videos on your channel. I really want to see you do well, so I thought I’d mention some feedback I have that I think would improve this video, if you think that would be helpful. I noticed that many of the times competitive topics are brought up (for example, Ubers BL) you don’t explain what exactly the concepts are for those who don’t pay attention to competitive singles. I have an idea that could make these concepts easier to explain and more engaging to an audience that isn’t necessarily familiar with the competitive scene: introduce Ubers BL (or other topics related to competitive) through thematic story elements and don’t even use the term Ubers BL. Almost like describing M-Ray as the antagonist to your own personal journey to the land of legendaries (I.e. Ubers), only to run into the one that rules them all, Mega Ray. I think this is a niche that you can pull off, and would separate you from most other creators who take more of an empirical, science-y approach (such as Freezai, for example). I have nowhere near the experience in creating content as you do, but who knows, maybe it attracts some views 🤷♂️ Either way, great vid as always, hope you’re doing well 🤘🏻
My favourite AG strategy is running six Tapu Koko. It's got such an interesting movepool and can run so many sets! Most people only run one or two answers for X threat, but once those are gone, their team just gets run over.
The only thing I fear is Rock Polish PDon.
I have a rock polish groudon and I think I have battled you on the ladder
@@kartiksaraf4676 I don't think I ever had a PDon use Rock Polish on me, surprisingly. If it was gen 7 AG, odds are good it was me, though!
He sure did cause a lot of PTSD not quite as a certain fiend.
4:58 HOLY SHI ITS ME, GO LEAVANNY
Leavanny did the strongest move in the game by running away from the berserk poke. Thanks for watching man and supporting
@@XENON3120 np.
I love these videos and your narration
Glad you enjoy my video edits and Joey's narrations.
Gen 6 was like “how do you create a mon that’s too broken for other legendary Pokémon” and then 2 gens later we got Zacian. And now we have Miraidon.
I wasnt around during the swsh time and def do not know enough about the new poster boys, are they broken or are they that bad?
@@AlainReyes dragon/electric with 135 special attack and speed, an ability that sets electric terrain and gives itself a 30% special attack boost in terrain, and a 100 base power move with no drawbacks that gets stronger if it hits something super effectively
@@devilman4723 bRo pls tell me koraidon is just as good 😭 I bought scarlett lmao
@@AlainReyes
Miraidon is broken enough that it was in the same round of NatDex Ubers bans as Mega-Rayquaza. While there's defensive "counterplay" in current SV Ubers for Miraidon such as using Ting-Lu + Clodsire, Iron Treads or Blissey to play around, most of these Pokemon become practically unviable or niche fringe options once all these other cover legendaries are added through Home & DLCs. NatDex Ubers (despite its lack of popularity) gives us a glimpse of what would happen, and it's speed in combination with it's ability to create literal archetypes of teams and to drop nuclear eletric moves + Draco Meteor & Overheat makes it simply far too overwhelming. Mega-Rayquaza wasn't the first mon banned from NatDex cause powercreep gen7, 8 & gen9 introduced Pokemon with ridiculous speed tiers + power such as Zacian (tho it got nerfed in gen9 after what it did last gen), Calyrex-S who will likely be the most broken Pokemon of all time when Pokemon Home releases, Koraidon & Miraidon, Ultra-Necrozma (won't be in Scarlet & Violet), Flutter Mane, Chien-Pao (Gen 8 Weavile on steroids) & Iron Bundle who outspeed & threaten it. Ultimately it's still too much tho and Mega-Rayquaza's the ultimate wallbreaker with nasty Extreme Speed to clean teams that hopefully won't come back with Scarlet & Violet DLCs.
@@anna_medeia thanks a lot for the info!! Its a pretty good explanation on what has been going on in ubers :)
I wonder if certain pokemon that were in SwSH wont be available for SV
I remember when Mega Fug was wreaking havoc in Ubers. My favorite set was Sash SD E-killer for Geomancy Xernias & Surf for Bulky Primal Groudon. Good times.
Dafuq is mega FUG? Is that supposed to be rayquaza?
I never expected to see a shuckle bust absolutely everywhere less than 10 seconds into a yt vid
This was incredible, my favorite mon really got the everything it deserved.
These kind of videos are amazinng
This is why we need gen 10 to include everything, like megas, z-moves, terra crystals, dynamax and gigatamax. Imagine a mega Rayquaza with a flying terra type using dragon ascent
Hear me out: Rayquaza with a Z-Crystal and Dragon Ascent works like Necrozma.
It's been a while since I took a break from competitive and your channel and its nice to see how your content has developed. Love the new content and production values, just work on your speech clarity and maybe slow down a bit to sound more natural.
pokémon masters EX brought me back to the pokémon community & im so happy it did bro so much good content
They need to bring Megas back

Thank you for watching Lali LU
I love Watching the videos saying or Creating more Hype/Appreciating powers of Rayquaza
Mega-Ray is literal Beast 😍🔥🤟
The item thing really makes it way more versatile. It can use lum or the weakness reducing berries to setup. Choice sets for the surprise factors. Not to mention that it has the option to go special to power through physically defensive mons like Arceus rock, like specs draco will destroy that
MEGA RAYQUAZX MAKING THIS TIER!
Really interesting video, thank you for the insight. At times tho you are talking very fast, making it hard to understand what you are saying, looking forward to next episode!
i wonder how the comment section is gonna try to justify how mega ray shouldve been ubers..
I am trying to justify why Baxcalibur should of been in OU, I beat Tinkaton and Azumarill with that thing, using just icicle spear
Nah mega ray should be OU
It looks cool and strong, there's my reasonings. 😂
Can you talk about the story of the legendary cybertron who sacrificed his rotoms will o wisp hits so many times that Pokémon had to buff the accuracy of the move
Can you make a video on what gen u think had the most power creep? I'd like to see how gen 7 affected good mons of the last gen
Rayquaza has that power, soloing all of Hoopa unbound’s hypnosis mons
Mega Evolution is my all time favorite gimmick, still waiting for Mega Flygon and Mega Noivern with Aerilate
What was made mega ray so cool is that it only needed a move(Dragon Accent) to Mega Evolve not a stone meaning it would benefit from held item perks (Life Orb I'm looking at you).
I remember hearing the birth of AG. The though of what would warant the creation of a banlist for the banlist was quite a terrifying thing.
Now that tera was introduced and power has been increasing, I kinda wish megas were allowed to hold items just like mega-ray.
Gen 1 Mewtwo was the same
They made a tier for it seperately
Gen 1 Psychic went crazy
@@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy absolutely cracked
That has more to do with how unbalanced Psychic type was in gen 1 honestly
@@jtizzle124 true, like Fairies just came out the same Gen ray ray did
@@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy I always wondered if fairy type was the reason Gamefreak thought that shit was gonna be okay

Totodile: you dare face my power?
Very fitting for the mon who guards the planet from meteors and extraterrestrial threats
The blunder battle is great lmao
Your thesaurus must be exhausted Joe
Joey going for the world record of mentioning through edits or thumbnails
I just caught my shiny jolly rayquaza about 3 days ago in BDSP in the longest soft resetting I myself ever endured. It was sooo worth it tho. Rayqyaza has been my favorite pokemon ever since I first saw it in pokemon Ruby when I was a kid. Then once I saw its shiny I then told myself "I NEED IT" and that's what I did. I pray for another pokemon game that has mega evolutions, just so I can see shiny mega ray in its true glory!
the editing on this one went hard
Thanks for watching and appreciating.
Honestly I had a really good set up back in gen 6-7 with Mega Char Y Talonflame, Aerodactyl, Lilligant with atk for def, and I’d try too bust they’re set up usually going for Talonflame or going for Aerodactyl or Groudon as a legendary just to make sure sunny day and rock slide were secured but I would always take some massive losses for my first two pkmn if they’re Talon and Aero or just sweep the team hard after setting a tailwind, and then cripple one of the enemy pkmn with a rockslide stab from aerodactyl flinching one, or just straight up brave birding they’re Pokémon if I knew the kill was for sure, overall charizard and lilligant take the end half of the match with a timid charizard and tailwind secured after neutralizing they’re trick roomer through either the method described or switching out one Pokémon, I had a really awesome set up, although friggin Mega Aerodactyl was a weakness, same with Kangaskhan, everything else was pretty fair though or a cake walk. Overall though Mega Rayquaza was a pretty alright pokemon, I just called it the super kamikaze Pokémon though, my set really didn’t have any interference with its abilities so it got one turn and then it was either dead on the second after killing one normal Pokémon or got mucked with a flinch/crit from a rockslide and died, Aerodactyl was a speed god back in gen 7 then things changed so he’s not as useful but maybe he’s ok with proper protection I’ve been out of the battle scene for a while.
Oh my god i thought this was a silent video for a second. I didnt realize there was audio until reloading the page like 40 seconds in
Lmao damn
The thumbnail… I knocked out Mega Rayquaza with a Pikachu, Twas beautiful.
Talk about my favourite AG mon, Shedinja
I still love that a dragon that could escape the atomphere is slower then Whimsicott, a pokemon made of cotton.
Anything Goes was an inevitability, powercreep is always going to steadily encroach on the game and we need to be able to have an answer for it. Could you imagine current ubers if Mons like Zacian and Miraidon were allowed to just run around unchecked?
You should make a video on Tauros
Mega Rayquaza became the standard for Power Creep.
can’t wait for mega ray to be in pu after gen 15
While outside of the scope of the video; in some ways there has been dominance to this extent in a tier before, gen 1 mewtwo the only real way to play against gen 1 mewtwo is your own mewtwo. There is even a funny parallel that Mewtwo leading to the creation of Ubers eventually lead to mew getting banned as well where without the precedent of the tier existing it likely wouldn’t have, much like how Mega-Ray lead to Zacian being able to get the boot later down the road
Someone at Game Freak must have a hard-on for the weather trio. Not only do they have the highest total stats of all trios Game Freak gave each of them special mega evolutions to completely break them.
Why can’t i use oddish/sleep powder in anything goes? Or was i missing something?
The only thing as over-centralizing as evreybody loves mega-ray was gen 1 mewtwo, I mean having a psychic type with absurd special before the split, with amnesia, recover, psychic and ice beam to go for the broken freeze was /almost/ as broken as mega-ray!
The shiny Rayquaza event from ORAS so good, I got one and it’s been ripping Timid Banded Ascents online all day everyday! 🥴
Steel types: "ha I resist both your stabs"
Mega Ray "Have you heard of V-create"
*Steel Types Shaking Intensifies*
And to think this wasn't even the generation where Megas applied their new speed the turn they evolved
That pikachu in the thumbnail 😂😂😂
Subbed
Straw that broke the Camerupts back, amazing. Surely someone else has commented this!
Mega Ray-Quay-Quay OP as hell
Mega Evolution was the best mechanic and game freak should have kept with it
Oh boy you’re in luck.
National Dex Anything Goes is gone not long after this video was released...
They need to buff Mega Rayquaza in the next game since it's little too weak right now with all of those new pokemon in last 2 generations.
It's so funny to think that they had to make an extra fromat just for Mega-Ray and Magikarp
I feel like you were rapping at me about Megaray
2014 Game Freak: “Tiers? How about tears”
Also, his design is sick af
Cant wait for miraidon to go to AG when home comes out
Don’t let this video distract you from the fact that mega rayquaza is outsped by wugtrio
Is he still playable on showdown 9G AG?
Aw man. Has it really been so long since Mega Rayquaza and Anything goes came about that their origins have to be explained to people which to whom these feel like they have always existed? I remember losing my mind and seeing others lose their mind over these things as well as the related memes like it was yesterday.
Megas were my favorite mechanic by far, so sad they didn’t just stick with that
