hey we can nerf U-Turn by making it 60 base power - Scizor probably
Scizor, you sneaky bastard…
Drop knock off to 60 as well
@@davidmitchell621nah, that Sound be unfair forthilft. Just to give him some Justice wie should raise bullet punch up to 60, i think that would be fair °L°
Goated. Comment
make it 65bp instead just to fk with scizor
How could you choose all of these moves when you could’ve picked the ones I like!!! :(
I both agree and disagree, because both of you have not chosen the ones i like
calm down bro this list isnt trying to choose moves subjectively, he even uses criterias to further strengthen his decisions objectively, so the best moves should have been the moves I‘d choose
@@kebegeer/woosh
Unfortunately, my friend, the one who has been r/wooshed is you
No, the moves I like are objectively better because of reasons
Poison sting actually reached the top of the ladder on a gliscor set recently, it has a lot more more pp than sludge bomb or toxic and on an extreme stall team 30% chance to poison is plenty high enough
Clodsire you mean. And another advantage of Sting over Jab is that Sting doesn't make contact
Gliscor can't even learn that move
@@olafmikoaj3121you’re super wrong, literally just look it up before commenting? What’s wrong with you?
@@W333L Well to be fair I only cheked Gliscor learnset not Gligar which learns poison sting. So on it's own Gliscor still can't just learn it but you can have the move on it. And still nobody uses poison sting Gliscor.
My man isn’t a sweaty stall player so I’m sure he chose to ignore that one niche stall team. I’m sure you’re not either, though..
Right?
3:18
Other Pokemon in the party: "Geez man, what'd that Lv. 5 Skwovet ever do to you?"
Urshifu: " *It* *existed.* "
As a VGC player, fake out is one of the top 3 moves ever so it easily tops the 40 bp tier for us.
6:47 grassy glide is actually 55 bp now, they nerfed it again before rillaboom got it in sv from 60 to 55. Idk if this changes the entry for 55bp or not, but grassy glide should have been at least considered there and not in 60bp
The thing I love the most about this is that he considers both singles and doubles.
Crazy to see that from the very beginning even the lowest damage moves actually have some real bangers.
Poison Sting does have a slight competitive use in Clodsire. Its high PP and lack of contact gives it an edge over Poison Jab.
I'd also mention Poltergeist for its effect on physical Ghost types that can use it. It made physical Froslass viable and its absence in Dragapult's movepool is the only thing keeping it from being busted.
Shout out to triple kick, being one of the few multi hit attacks that perform an accuracy check on each individual hit, despite its maximum potential only reaching 60 base power
I get how good u-turn is, but imo you should have at least mentioned flower trick
It's literally 70 base power.
Fake out is a better 40 BP move. Sure, its use in singles isnt that big, but its probably like the second most important doubles move (first ibviously being protect)
Nerf inceneroar
"In My opinion"
You forgot - base power moves. I’d like to believe it’s endeavor, rather than any OHKO move since it can make a level one Shuckle with minimal attack at minus 6 attack bring a Level 100 Blissey with 714 Hp at max hp be brought down to one Hp. If the game had to create a move with enough base power to do that, instead of just setting Blissey’s Hp to Shuckle’s Hp, it would probably be a very high base power. OHKO moves wouldn’t be able to get as high since they fail if the user is a lower level than the target.
Destiny Bond would kill the Blissey or even a Chansey with Eviolite, instead of leaving it with 1 HP.
@@SSDARKPIT I was talking about an imaginary base power for an attack. Destiny Bond isn’t an attack.
Hyper voice is slept on
14:04 hey that's me
For doubles most is true but fake out definitely takes the win, rage fist would have been better than last respects, 55 is definitely grassy glide (which is actually 55 base power not 60 as in the video), extremespeed would take the win for 80 base power, for 110 it would be origin pulse, I'd say astral barrage is probably going to be the better one for gen 9, for 150 water spout wins because Kyogre is just way too strong.
I think you forgot beat up for 10 base power
Dragon ascent snubbed out :( but I agree that glacial lance is still a great move and beats astral barrage slightly. It’s just that since you were factoring in in game effects, the fact that dragon ascent is needed to have a mega rayquaza, and that mega ray was probably the greatest monstrosity to hit pokemon, it felt weird not really mentioning it more
for 90 base power i think bitter blade should have gotten a mention atleast ,its pretty good but handy capped by the mon
Misty explosion moment
I was hoping to see fell stinger mentioned at 50 but there was some crazy competition.
I love that move, if it was on a better offensive typing it would be more usable.
@@MattBudYT True, being a bug move doesn't help it.
Bug is very underrated offensive type. No idea why people conflate the bug type with bug stats. Hitting dark psychic and grass will always be meta-relevant
Not only do you check the defacto legendary type, but you also check the legendary's check @@MattBudYT
It has a few good hits, but having the most types resist it is the thing that sets it back.
Almost every team will naturally have at least 2-3 good bug switch ins.
Let’s go another MattBud banger
I can’t wait for best move with each accuracy.
Poltergeist should have at least been mentioned for 110, and in my opinion actually should have gone in the top spot over Steam Eruption. Ghost is the single most spammable type in the game since Normal and Dark are both not very good defensive types that usually nerf the Pokemon they're on. Slap a Choice Band onto something with STAB Poltergeist and it instantly becomes a massive headache to switch into for example. Game Freak actively had to be careful of how they distributed this move because they were so scared of how it'd boost certain Pokemon - there is no other reason every Ghost in Gen 8 got this except for Mimikyu (formerly broken in BSS), Aegislash (formerly banned from OU), and Dragapult (pseudo + turned out to be a strong mon like everywhere lmao).
Steam Eruption's definitely very good but the 30% Burn chance isn't quite as strong here as it is for Scald. The miss chance makes the threat of burning something not as pressing even if it's absolutely still there, especially with the low PP making it less spammable. Defensive Pokemon when given the option would usually pick Scald over this because of all of that, and offensive Pokemon will still appreciate the burn chance but not as much as defensive Pokemon will. The move just feels like it has a lot less flexibility as a result.
Agree w/ the rest of this list though, very good video overall
What about the moves with *NO* base power - you could go over all of the status moves for each type. Anyways, great video!
For those I'd recommend protect. I know it's not great in singles, but it defines vgc
>not great in singles
What were you smoking, chief?
@@michaelgum97protect is certainly not as good in singles as it is in doubles lmao
@@michaelgum97it most certainly isn't great in protect lmao it gives many pkmn the ability to setup on you
@@Hydun
That's why trying to predict what your opponent does is important.
If you think they're going to set up then have taunt to shut that shit down, or you can use Encore to put them in a catch 22 situation where they can keep setting up and bring in a counter, either a super bulky resist, or an Unaware Quagsire/Clodsire depending on the boost.
But if the boost is Shell Smash, then priority to punishes their dropped defenses.
Love the explosion joke at the end.
Selfdestruct: *hefty boom*
Explosion: *fart*
😆
Do this for accuracy next time
Why did you include seed flare among the drawback moves like glaive rush? It has slightly low accuracy and PP, but it has no real drawback
I think the "drawback" he was referring to was the 85% accuracy
@@Cas-Se78.97 85% is still very respectable accuracy. Think of fire blast, megahorn, power whip...They are all as powerful and accurate as seed flare, but this last one has a 40% chance to lower the opposing special defense by 2 stages, which is insanely good on a serene grace pokemon. May as well be a free nasty plot each time you use it
When you’re going up against that class of great moves, 85% accuracy is a pretty big drawback. Great move, just such stiff competition there
11:38 Yeah, I was born because of that
Lmao more like based power move amirite
It's really only good in doubles
Why was hariyama using whirlpool on a psyduck instead the psyduck using it on hariyama at 4:10 💀
I mean...Hariyama is able to learn Whirlpool in Gen 4 as an HM. Heck it can even learn Brine and Surf lol
this is a great idea for a video
RIP Explosion halving the targets defense stat for an effective 500 BP.
How did I just discover this amazing channel? I've watched 5 videos straight 😭
always a fun time when you post!
Great video 📸🎉🍿
I like your channel. Your videos sound like what kids ask ai about pokemon but unlike the ai you don't just randomly pick stuff and have reasons.
BANGER ALERT
An idea for a video would be The Best Pokemon based in the total of their base stats, like the best 600 BST Pokemon
There’s so many different base stat totals I’m not sure how viable of a concept it would be.
Picking a few certain BSTs with a lot of mons would maybe be doable if that’s what you mean?
Yeah, i was thinking on something like what you mentioned, it seems more doable.@@MattBudYT
I remember getting poisoned by Sludge Bomb Salazzle on my Heatran back during gen6. Did they change it so Corrision can’t activate on Immune Hits, or was it just bugged on PO/Showdown?
I'd argue that scale shot is argubly almost as good as surging strikes 25 bp move. With loaded dice, it causes mass destruction and boosts your speed. Koraidon really takes advantage of the move due to orichalcum pulse making them strong. Also icicle spear and bullet punch are also good options.
TL;DW version: a whole lot of broken Gen 8 and 9 moves.
Preeetty much
My only real gripe is salt cure because fake out is such a cornerstone of competitive play.
Amazing video love the content subscribed keep it up!
I think for 55bp, grassy glide has the spot for sure. Even in its nerfed state it’s keeping rillaboom very viable in singles and doubles
130bp should have been Draco Meteor imo, it's wildly accessible and is one of the coolest animations of all time
Multistrike moves could be taken as double base power since they always attack at least twice
Flower trick is arguably the best 70 base power move
So when can be expect the best move of each accuracy?
The actual reason fishious rend is the best 85 bp move is that it's boosted by strong jaw
Strong Jaw boost is 1.5x
The elemental fangs are 65 BP for reference
this has got to be the most niche title ive ever read. im certain ill enjoy it.
I disagree about the 130BP one. Electro Shot is absolute BS and is only slightly balanced by not having an Electric user. And it made Archaludon too strong.
How about the best status moves at each accuracy or PP?
Surprised I didn't saw power up punch in the 40 BP rank
For general utility, I've found Return to be very underrated. At max Happiness, it has 120 power, 100% accuracy, 20 pp, and can be learned by every Pokemon. For playing thru single player content in the game, it readily surpasses most TMs you get access to. Especially in that other high power moves as TMs are reserved for late game rewards and many of them do not have 100% accuracy and are limited to 5 pp. Put this move on a normal type physical attacker and watch every pokemon that isn't resistant/immune to normal type attacks melt. Bonus: it interacts with abilities that convert normal type attacks to other types like Galvanize.
It has 102 base power at Max Happiness which is quite a difference. But it’s a great no drawback move with good power for sure. Agree with your points here!
@@MattBudYT Huh, you're right. Guess I got hit with a bit of dyslexia on that power value. Or the page on bulba got edited since the last time I looked. Still solid tho until you get access to endgame TMs.
I think dragon ascent takes 120 base power move as in ORAS it literally mega evolves rayquaza , being the only move that does so and it only has 3 weaknessess as a type, pair it with mega rayquaza's signature ability Delta Stream the and increase in defense for mega evolution, the drawback of lowering you defenses doesn't matter since you already outspeed them making it the best 120 base power move in my opinion.
Facade:(
I understand not including 0 base power moves since there's like hundreds of them, but maybe a top 10 would have been interesting. Variable power moves would be interesting to see too, like Nightshade, Wring Out and the like.
Could be a cool video idea. There are plenty of them to make a solid rankings list!
I totally agree with glacial lence. No ice type immunity, spread move, no drawbacks.
Just think if calyrex ice was as fast as calyrex shadow, how scary it would be
Nuzzle my beloved
They should make a mon that can live an explosion at 1hp so they can do it twice
Calyrex shadow rider didn't get banned from ubers for nothing
The best 120 base power move is obviously Focus Blast.
*ASSUMING IT CAN HIT A DAMN THING!!!!*
i would make a good case for ivy cudgel
how could you not pick Barrage based on its gen 2 animation and sound effect alone?
This is super niche and dumb but corrosion actually doesn't allow mortal spin to poison steel types, since it has no effect on the immunity they have against poison type attacks. Just a really small thing
Yeah I thought it did when recording the voiceover but corrected it with showdown footage and a note.
Wish it did though would be great.
@@MattBudYT oh super my bad lol. I was listening to the video on the way back from uni and wasn't looking
No close combat?
I would like to see this but with the most meta relevant move. Last Respects is cool but banned from OU so it kinda doesnt exist.
Me looking for misty explosion:
fun fact: Population bomb gets boosted by Sharpness
I think stuff like availability should have been accounted for. Yeah, population bomb is rigged, but only a single Pokémon out of the over thousand gets access to it.
I think your channel name of MattBud does not work for these vids. You clearly are Professor Kukui.
Personally, I think Kyogre is enough of an argument for Water Spout having the edge over Eruption.
Best 102 bp move - return??
I put money on Constrict being there.
Wicked Blow going through protect isn't part of the move though, I don't think that's fair.
Electro Shot, in single, is one of the stupidest moves in the whole game, I have no idea why you put it under Bolt Strike and Blue Flare.
You should have started with status moves.
Steam eruption is actually worse than scald imo since it has less pp to fish for burns and the pokemon that switch into it are defensive pokemon that don't care about their attack anyways
Btw, grassy glide is 55 BP not 60 bp
Minor correction: Grassy Glide is 55 BP, not 60 BP
Oh yeah forgot about the nerf. Well deserved nerf to Rillaboom tbh.
grassy glide is 55 base power now
Thousand arrows over spectral thief???
Wait wicked blow always lands a critical hit? Why even make it 75 damage then? Just make it the damage it'd be when it crits
crit ignore defende raise so its good
10:36 why thunderbolt and ice beam but no flamethrower or surf for example?
also gigaton hammer's biggest drawback is that only the tinkaton line can learn it
T-Bolt and Ice Beam have good synergy (Bolt Beam) and the only Pokemon to completely resist it are Electric/Steel and Ice/Electric
Tbolt and Ice beam are way more common since the types they hit are more important. The combination of those two moves actually was really strong in older gens since those cover up a lot.
Surf and Flamethrower are great but the alternatives to these moves, usually outclass these, being scald/Hydro for water and Fire blast for fire.
Thunder and blizzard are not good replacements for tbolt and ice, so tbolt and ice beam are not as replaceable
@@brycenumbergenerator7673 And Fire/Electric. And that's not counting the effect of abilities.
Misty Explosion
Close Combat on 120 bp is the best imo
Yeah but Glacial Lance is like CC with none of the drawbacks. He did mention that it was voted as the best 120 BP move thanks to its wide distribution and coverage type.
Matt’s juicy bangers😂🌭
My guy, glacial lance is 130 base power
Got nerfed to 120 base power
Wasn't Glacial Lance 130 BP?
It was 130 bp in the 8th gen
No Multi-Attack considered for best 120 BP move? Sure its normal type, compared to things like Glacial Lance it'll have worse coverage. But it also has Double the amount of PP which has gotta account for something right? Just an observation, great vid.
No super effectiveness really hurts it, and changing its type means Silvally has to use its item slot on whatever memory you need it to be
Where was fishious rend?
At 85 base power💀
Triple arrows vs thousand arrows, Ofc thousand wins😂😂
Spoilers for the video
Who would've thought the strongest technique one can have is suicide
Doesn’t glacial lance have 130 base power?
Not anymore. The list based off the move's most recent base power and Glacial Lance was nerfed to match Astral Barrage.
for 140 why not bloood moon
Boomburst is simply a better Blood Moon
Algorithm
Seed flare lowers opponents spd
Totally off topic but I hate urshifu rapid so much man that mon is cheap as shit 😭 surging strikes is a nuts move that should’ve gotten a base power nerf just like zacian’s attack stat and transistors boost. Skill less mon 💀
Edit: based scald hater 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Huh, no zero.
If doubles is being considered (especially VGC), scald really should not be number one. Scald is still good for water stab for special attackers that get nothing else, but honestly factoring in the history of dazzling gleam in doubles it might have a stronger case in a pure doubles list.
Dazzling Gleam in Singles is the consolation prize for not learning Moonblast.
Scald is still good in Doubles for its secondary effect while being meta defining in Singles.
@@TheOtherNeutrino it isn't necessarily that good in doubles. Especially considering pretty much every water type attacker uses something else. A 30% burn chance is decent. It adds a little rng to your side, but honestly iron head is better in doubles. In VGC, you don't cut the damage output of an entire side by 50% when you get a burn, you only cut 50% of one pokemon if it is a physical attacker. Scald in VGC is approximately as useful as dazzling gleam in singles.
