      Toxic

      Edit 9/4/22 It should be noted that *THE ONLY* major instances I actually beat this semifinal was when the Gyarados on their team was brought instead of Tentacruel.

    I remember discussing the Dugtrio rise and subsequent ban years after the generation passed and the person I was talking to just could not understand how in a game with hundreds of pokemon with multiple abilities, moves, items and natures, that some combinations just go unused or even just go under the radar while a certain meta is taking place

    • @itsgonnabeanaurfromme
      @itsgonnabeanaurfromme Před rokem +5

      A lot of pokemon and combinations aren't used because there are default pokemon typical to use. The variable teams and strategies are few and far between. Just look at the teams in VGC and other metas.

    • @Blackvolttage
      @Blackvolttage Před rokem +18

      The thing is that with dugtrio, like with most of this video tbh, they are anti-meta picks that rise up when you are playing against a smaller, more dedicated (and usually higher elo) players.
      Dugtrio without team preview was never very strong tbh. It was always seem as a high risk high reward pick, while most of ou is always low risk stuff. But when you stop playing against randos and its well estabilished what are the teams everyone is running, specially when you play against the same people with frequency, dugtrio becomes much better and gives the edge to get around a troublesome counter and get ahead.

    Another testament to Moltres' newfound viability are it's career in BW2, USUM and SwSh
    -BW2 gave it hurricane, providing it a niche on rain teams. It never rose to OU in usage but it was a effective check to Volcarona and Ferrothorn in rain which no other mon could do outside of Terrakion.
    -In USUM, it rose from NU to UU. USUM UU was packed with monsters like Mega Aerodactyl, Mega Sharpedo, Starmie, Crawdaunt, Feraligatr, Mega Manectric, and Mega Altaria ready to prey on it's weaknesses. This was also way before heavy duty boots too. Due to it's ability to check steels like Mega Aggron and Scizor and insanely powerful flynium Z hurricane obliterating anything with neutral resistance, it showed it was far more effective than it's weaknesses made it out to be.
    -In SwSh, it spent a brief time in OU due to heavy duty boots removing it's stealth rocks weakness and it's ability to check various threats such as Rillaboom, Kartana, and even Cinderace. It lost hidden power but was still able to prey on fire types that should wall it like Heatrna and Volcanion with scorched sand and Preesure PP stalling with Roost. It also got a regional variant that was extremely dangerous under the right conditions.
    If only it's fellow flying legendary Articuno could get thrown a bone that would skyrocket it's viability. It's regional variant was great in low tiers but now terastalizing may be what something that Articuno needs to finally stand on it's own in higher tiers.

      I’m a bit biased but I love Gen 6 battling. I think the Mega evolutions are mostly sick and add another layer to strategies without being overpowered (besides the ones which are obviously overpowered and therefore in Ubers). I loved having teams that made the opponent have to guess which one was the Mega rather than it being obvious

      A more appropriate question might be is:
      *Is Hidden Power truly worth the ass ache of hunting for the one type you desire most?*
      If it wasn't for Showdown's existence and the means to get the one you want so easy, would people have still wanted it so much the hunt was justified for tournaments?
      I mean, the base Power varied all over without the right IVs and even then, Base 70 at most only goes so damn far.

      The problem with Froslass is that while she's a fast and non-bulky Ice-type for once, they just had to give her kinda mediocre offenses.
