It’s actually crazy how many new great pokémon are in this gen, I’m glad they made most of them such viable options
Anihilape looks amazing
I feel like palafin and kingambit will be really solid in Ou
I'm glad they evolved a few of the older gens pokemon
@@Leicester_Ansulrua palafin op af it’s getting banned
I disagree, so many of them just don’t have the stats that match up to previous gens. Like I loved Scovillain, but his stats aren’t great.
tinkaton is probably one of my favorite new mons. Its design and concept is so cool and it’s actually fun to use
It's poppy from lol
@@TheDonlukas that's what I nicknamed mine 🤣🤣🤣
Its very weak. Shit stats
I agree
I love tinkaton to named mIne Jotuun
I’m a huge fan of Annihilape..primeape was my favorite Pokémon when I was younger so seeing he got an evolution got me hyped. I always had a Mankey as early as I could in red/blue/yellow when I was younger
This is literally as if I wrote this comment
I remember being a clueless kid playing blue and randomly caught a mankey early game as an avid charmander user at the time I was pleased to finally have a way through Brock. All of that to say I understand the love for Mankey and primeape
Skeledirge, Pawmot/flamigo, toedscruel, tinkaton, veluza, and lokix was the team I used swapping pawmot for flamigo when I needed ground immunity. Very fun team to use of all new pokemon just make sure you have a +speed nature on skeledirge and veluza makes those two mons so much better in an in-game run. Tinkaton is a beast of a pokemon. The team also has a lot of intimidate negating as well overall super fun relatively early game team that will carry you through the entire story
Honestly I forgot you existed and when I clicked on the video I had no idea it was you, within the first 30 seconds just hearing your voice brought back so many old zombie’s memories. Glad to see your still making content, keep up the good work man
Man all of these pokemon look SO GOOD! And fun to use also. But the pokemon I liked on this list the most had be Kingambit! It just looks like an overall good pokemon. Anyway great video bro really fun to watch keep it up!
I’ve been watching for so long Pat! Great to see you entering the Pokémon scene!! Being one of my favorite Pokémon from gen 2, the new Whooper and Clodsire has got to be my fav ☺️
Oh man, my favorite on this list has probably remained Arboliva, and I can't wait to use it! I loved Smoliv since I first saw it and loved the line more with each evo I saw, and was thrilled to hear it was so good!
I also definitely plan on running a Mabosstiff at some point, though. I've been spoiled just enough to know that Pokemon is going to make me cry!
i actually enjoyed using maushold on my playthrough, while it is a weak boring normal type, population bomb can be so overpowered paired with loaded dice and technician, it can tear apart teams with reliable 250s hitting every turn, without terastralizing. add in the op tidy up and you have a monster. i ran u turn and charm too for quick swaps and support for heavy hitting sweepers
Population Bomb apparently works different from other multi-hit moves...
It always goes to 10 unless it misses once so loaded Dice is useless on it, you use Wide Lens on it so it doesn't miss at all and go for the full ten!
@@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions You’re right that Loaded Dice is wasted, but I would like to add that if you’re willing to deal with its shak-ish accuracy, you can also give it King’s Rock to give a MASSIVE chance to flinch the opponent, since all 10 hits have a chance to flinch with it.
Another good pokemon to use playing through, is Slaking. Get giga impact on a small island early on, and teach it to him. The truant turn where he loads, is used as your recharge from giga impact, so every time you attack, it's 150 plus his normal bonus, and it will one shot most pokemon as he has INSANE stats.
This was an op guide thanks mate 👍 subscribed
Dude i absolutely love the fact they put a Godzilla pokemon, kinda surprised they haven’t done so sooner, but I’m super looking forward to getting to roam around on koridon
Umm Tyranitar says hello
Is Tyranitar a joke to you?
Listen I know that T-tar has been the Godzilla pokemon for a very long time, but if you actually look at backscalaver he looks a lot more like Godzilla
Plus I wasn’t thinking about T-tar that the time
All these years playing Pokémon it never occurred to me tyranitar could be a Godzilla pokemon lol, but as soon as I saw this new mon I knew immediately it was Godzilla inspired
I think it’s crazy how early you can get a dragon type, cyclizard is really helpful for the first boss wether that be gym or titan
I mean you can just catch a magikarp, evolve him. Go beat titans, go to the north part region, get OP, stomp everything
Gyarados/Pokemon with Intimidate are really useful if you gotta defeat that Donphan titan near the beach early
Cyclizar is pretty solid through the whole game too, mine was a great part of my team right through to the end
I had a dragonite before after I did the second gym lmao
Great video! I love big boy Dondozo. He is one of my favorite
I've been personally loving Baxcalibur, although I understand your reservations.
Just evolved Tinkaton though, and that Gigaton Hammer move got me like: ?!?!?!
I would also recommend Clodsire, it evolves pretty early like level 20 I believe and it is tanky as well
I thought I would replace it eith something else but it's so fucking good
I was gonna use Grafaiai based on design alone but I boxed my Shroodle for Wooper because it just seems to be succchhh a better option. It’s good to see so many people praising Clodsire, maybe I am making the right choice 😂
@@KreationsOvMatt like when I was battling the Miraidon (the post-game one) I just spammed amnesia until my special defense couldn’t go any higher and it ATE UP HYPER BEAMS TAKING LIKE 30 DAMAGE LIKE BLOODY HELL
I feel like I just used a Calm mind/Chilling Water blissey in place of what many are using Clodsire for. It's been my favorite mon since gen 2 so I ended up running through most of the game with her. Even resulted in a VERY amusing visual bug for a bit where during cutscenes/raids she was randomly showing up. Just stood in front of the enmy raid mon or somewhere randomly in the cutscene. Got a bunch of amusing pics of it.
Clodsire hard counters most of the badge fights and elite 4 by itself. So yea.
For me palafin is my favorite on the list by far both in design and gameplay wise, just cause hero form straight up makes him look like a chad and his normal from just looks sooo cute, gameplay wise he has a very unique ability and also he just gets things done by dunking on people.
I love the idea of Palafins ability Zero to Hero. It's such a cool concept and I love it, however, It may be a bit overpowered though.
thankfully I cant use it because im not going to pay for Nintendo online while sucks
useless in raids tho
Requiring a swap out like this isn't always useful, especially because you have to switch out once, allowing the enemy to have a free hit on the swapped in Pokemon, and then you'd have to swap it in again, wasting another turn OR you have to wait for the swapped Pokemon to faint. This can work if you have a bulky setup Pokemon that you can swap Palafin out for, then it can survive and set things up, but this would be very specific and only useful for fighting against other people. In game, there's no need to deal with all of this time wasted.
@@BN99239 thats why u use palafin's flip turn on the first turn, and swap into an eject button mon
@@darkblaze373 You dont need Nintendo online. You can evolve it with local multiplayer too.
My favorite Pokémon out of this list was Arboliva. I think it is just a crazy good Pokémon with all the synergies within it.
new fav has got to be king gambit, that design is impeccable
I’m surprised Lokix didn’t make the list.
It evolves early at level 24, gets a super strong bug move at 80 power that lowers opponent’s attack 1 stage 100% of the time.
Eventually it learns the 80 power throat chop, 120 power axe kick, and gets First impression.
I used it to sweep through a lot of middle to endgame gyms, especially ghost and psychic and it proved invaluable in the final fight of the entire game.
Even though it’s not on the list, don’t sleep on Lokix
On the same note Tinkaton is the exact same
Lokix is straight up op and no one is talking about him. His ability makes it so he never hits for anything below 1x. He has a great move set, first impression is amazing basically always get priority, nice u-turn to get out of bad situations, and other hard hitting abilities like you said. He can carry you through the entire game (once evolved)
@@nornornornor9204 Swarm only works when Lokix's HP is less than 33%, so it's not always going to work. Tinted Lens is great but you need to breed for it. Other than that, I do agree that this Pokemon is decent, but it's not bulky enough.
@@BN99239 yeah it’s not really usable without tinted lense honestly. But allowing u-turning out of most situations as well as the priority moves mean it’s generally safe
gen 5 and gen 7 was the gift that keep on giving for bug types
Believe it or not, Jumpluff has been on my team almost from the start. Quite by accident, really. Until I realized they're pretty effective with the drain attacks. Basically they just drain their opponent's health, but it's got a high rate of getting it all in one go. Unless of course the enemy is a fire type and they attack first. But I've got mine on level 85 and that's pretty much unbeatable most of the time.
My fav has got to be Armarouge/Ceruledge! They just seem so awesome to use especially Ceruledge!
Love a lot of the new Pokémon added!
Gotta go with Ceruledge as my favorite on this list. The design and bitter blade is great.
Man I wish I didn't chose fuecoco as my starter because now I don't know which one to use, Ceruledge, or skeledirge. And I don't have spot for both of them.
kingambit is definitely my favourite new pokémon. I’ve always loved bisharp but he hasn’t been very strong and i am so happy he is getting a new evolution
Thanks for not many spoilers, top vid 👍
Even though it’s a Lil week, I’ve actually been cyclazard on my team. It has a good move pool, will you set up with it with moves a gearshift it can be a really fast sweeper, dragon tera boost it’s attack and defenses and normal tera Can get rid of the dragon weekness, and it’s good for support when you run things like shift gear, baton pass, shed tail, and dragon claw.
corrosion/mortal spin glimmora is more viable imo. being able to poison them was clutch! great vid!
Thanks for the info 😊
Great video! Do legendary next! Wanna see them numbers go up, keep up the great work
I cannot wait to use palafin looks like such an interesting Pokemon with an awesome gimmick
Just thought of set for Annhillape drain punch, shadow punch, 2 elemental punches equipped with boxing gloves which boost punching moves and HA defiant
Mabosstiff is probably my favorite new mon (yes, Im a dog lover haha) I’m sad I had to bench mine during my main story playthrough because he overlapped with my starter, but Post Game he is my lead and shiny hunter❤️
+1, I'm also a bullmastiff owner so it was a no brainer hahaha. He is my main since he joined the team early on
I'm surprised there's no mention of Kilowattrel. It's such a fast and hard hitting electric/flying type.
I love my Talonflame, is Kilowattrel comparable or better?
@@TheBullseyeInsight Better as a sweeper with base 105 special attack and 125 speed.
My favorite mon on this list is Ceruledge because it's one of my favorite types ghost and its signature move heals itself so if you boost your speed and attack then you could sweep with bitter blade.
Just finished my first playthrough. I went with Meowscarada, Azumarill, Talonflame, Espeon, Ampharos, and Goodra. Struggled with the gyms a bit, but shredded the elite 4 especially with Azumarill
See, id agree with you, but this time around I took the opposite approach, only used the new pokemon and having an absolute blast, once I've fully done it I might restart just to pick different teams
I gave my dondozo rest and sleep talk with physical attack moves for the other two and he’s unkillable. Also good to toss out if you need to revive or use potions cause he’ll tank hits if he’s not at a type disadvantage
Is dondozo good
I really like Ceruledge aesthetically, but Annihlape is also one of my favorites
I'm impressed by all of these but I'm looking forward to try ceruledge the most.
Dondozo and Dragonite caried me in the later challenging parts of the game. I tired to play the game like a kid figuring things out without google or youtube. 😂 Arven fight was challenging glad I had Dondozo.
I boxed my starter pokemon because I don't like any of the designs of the starters final evo. So I chose Charcadet/Ceruledge as my partner pokemon. Arboliva and Palafin are also in my team and they are amazing.
The Top 3 Pokémon on this list were all on my squad! Palafin, Kingambit and Baxcalibur are some dominant powerhouses!!
My favorite pokemon on the list was old reliable anahialape he is sooo cool and he has an awesome typing it is also cool that primape got a new evolution.
I know it doesn't look like it as a Pikachu clone but Pawmot is a beast, it's not the bulkiest but dam it's speed, attack and move set make it amazing. I know it's also not the greatest thing but you can electric terystallise and use double shock until you run out of pp. Just a good mon all game considering you can get the first stage as soon as you can catch Pokemon
Annihilape single handedly got me through the Elite 4 minus 1 flying Pokémon that I used Shiny Altaria for. You simply cannot go wrong with Annihilape. Ghost and fighting? It’s an odd matchup but it’s great against so many different types.
Thank’s I did not know that their were many new Pokémon!
Pat you should make a video on the best pokemon for terra raids, especially with the charizard event coming up
A pokemon that should have been at the #1 or 2 spot but didn't make the list is Houndstone.
It has a move called Last Respects, 50 BP, 100 Acc, and gains 50 more BP for every fainted battle member. So if its the last pokemon on your team is Houndstone you're going to be firing off 300 BP attacks, plus STAB is 450. If you tera, that jumps up to 600. Even a 4x resist is effectively taking a hyper beam, and its only walled by normal types.
The only flaw is the speed stat could be better, however by purchasing a choice scarf or putting a pokemon that can use Sandstorm or a Tyranitar, it can activate Houndstone's ability, Sand Rush, which doubles it's speed and makes it immune to the damage from sandstorm, outspeeding (I think) every pokemon in ScVi besides Electrode. If Houndstone is the last man standing, and there's no normal type on the opposing team, watch with a evilish grin as you dismantle the entire enemy party one by one with hits that make even Dracovish watch on in horror.
Annihilape is really good because of a strategy where you just spam bulk up at the start of the match, they start damaging you? Terastile to fighting type andnhit em with drain punch, when you reached max bulk ups and healed a lot of damage just spam rage fist and use drain punch when your low and ez win
I’m crazy excited for the entire game tbh!! Free world??!! Heck yea!!!! But if I had to pick I’d say Fuecoco!!
This Gen is absolutely cracked with stats and abilities with these Pokémon competitive at the moment is madness with OP builds I love it. Granted the designs has depressed me a bit there are still so many I like.
I think my favorite is Tinkaton and glimmora.
Haxorus is always such a dope mon to use on teams but I will say noivern is slowly growing on me
noivern is my fav mon. i dont care about in game capabilities. Its fun watching it battle in the E4 rn at lv60.
Aboliva is such a cool pokemon such a tiny cute pokemon can turn into this beast of a thing
I have a Ceruledge on my team and I love him! He is one of my aces on my team.
Glimmora is so underrated. W list
@officialsmithplays_pokemon Bro stop
I think tinkatank is my personal favorite because it’s an insane dual typing and just seems strong
It is strong
I just wish it’s attack stat was better 😑 still using her tho !!
@@mikol895 yeah she doesnt hit super hard :( except that one move that you can’t use twice in a row
It’s not….it’s stats are trash and it doesn’t get huge power loll
I'm all in on Flamigo. I love that one that this end game blaster is a regular flamingo
Question. got a shiny gyrados at lvl 100 would i still be able to ev train for competitive battle. Wanna max out its attack
I’d say the bisharp evolution is my favorite. They all seem good though so it’ll be hard to choose
1 year later, I just see this video. DAMN, this really helps to new players.
Bro I didn't know intimidate was a move ☠️
Kingambit has to be my favorite Pokémon. I love it’s design an supreme overlord is the best name of a move ever.
I love annihilape bc it looks awesome and is pretty strong
Great list. You should take a look at the disgusting Maushold sweeps people are doing currently.
I just bought a switch and came back to Pokemon after over a decade, and I'm freaking addicted haha 😃
my personal favorite is Gardevoir with psychic and fairy moves.. if psychic move is not effective, use fairy move.. very simple..
well, as long as you have better speed, you can basically one hit the opponent..
I have gardevoir in my party but I think they’re only mentioning gen 9 Pokémon
This list was all my faves from gen9
My favorite Pokemon will always be Banette and I'm so glad to see my ghostie boy make a comeback
I tell you what, I’m a genwunner but never used it and I’m BLOWN away by how OP huge power azumarril is. Unreal Mon
Azumarill is from gen 2
How do you get seed sower on arbolive because I can’t find one with it
I just got Pokémon scarlet and I love it right now I’m in poco path or smth like that
Houndstone is really good for an insane comeback machine
This gen brings back my favorite Pokémon of all time it’s donphan personally I love elephants so once I heard of donphan I was in love
Watched to see if any on my team were really strong since I haven’t really looked up anything on my playthrough, the only Pokémon on the list I’m using is ceruledge. Guess that’s not a bad thing, I don’t really want to use all the best Pokémon, it would make the game too easy
Yup. Best to go with the ones you like.
Terrible, filthy casual take
Annihilape for sure I would love to use this pokemon
Glimmora is definitely my favorutie on this list, reminds of a beyblade and who doesn't love a spinny pokemon
oh thats a nice list
tinkaton, use gigaton hammer please
I used 3 of these on my playthrough team. They were so much fun to use.
(Team:
Meowscarada
Armarouge
Garganacl
Palafin
Flamigo
Baxcalibur)
I have garganacl too with purifying salt and rock terra, and it is relatively good againts negative status battle. Not too tanky though
Bisharp evolves at lvl54 I think, and kingambit is available only in the bambooforest, the last zone in the game, so its defenitely not a good pokemon for the scarlet violet main story. But it is one of the best pokemon ever created.
Ikr I used baxcaliber with muscle band so an ice shard did so much to everything
I didn't think the gimmighoul coin grind was bad, just do a loop around the world killing the chest bois and you'll have like 800 then just go check some ruins for the rest
My fav Pokémon for this gen would have to be kingambit. I mean just look at that design!
I love this I will subscribe to you I'm hoping I can get koraidon and meraidon
THERE IS NO E IN MIRAIDON!
my favorite pokémon is definitely Decidueye. he looks cool and has a cool typing
I'm really excited for anilape the most
Love Bisharp so an evolution as strong as kingambit has gotta be my favorite
Cetitan is definitely one of my favorites on this list
Do you have a best Tera Raid team video?
My team: Meowscarada, (i liked sprigatito not knowing its final evo) Dragonite, Tinkaton, Mabostiff, (captured after seeing arvens mavostiff and feeling bad) Great Tusk, (i used it to beat atticus and it's the titan one) and annihilape. (Captured poison type primeape from raid and evolved it.)
Of all the new pokemon I do like Ceruledge purely for it's appearance. It's like a ghost knight
My favorite pokemon for the last few years has been Greninja, or Rayquaza, but from this game I love fuecoco.
Amazing video! Hope I get that giveaway.
Defintly cuickoko and curni rocko thingie mushroom there so cute def my fav
Thats crazy how pokemon are changing, im following the games for so years now (never played1, dont have nintendo or money for one xD ), i rly wish i would be avaible for pc..
THERE SHOULD BE 2 L'S IN AVAILABLE!
i love the move intimidate
You forgot dondozos hidden feature when you bring it into battle with a tatsugiri
Mine is glimmora cus it looks cool plus its really good cus the toxic spkes Ability that can poison and do rlly good damage
Ive been using my ice tera baxcalibur holding a loaded dice and icicle spear. After one swords dance this mon sweeps hard
Clodsire is definitely my favorite for this gen. It’s just so durpy looking and doesn’t have bad stats
It's the fact it has 464 max Hp, water absorb, recover and you can tera type it.
