@@tedpowles7819 Noivern also isn't really that powerful, either; especially when compared to other dragon types. It's fast, sure, but that's it's only really great stat, so I've always personally felt it falls a little bit short.
I agree. I wish Emergency Exit was in any way different than Wimp Out. Like, if it acted like a baton pass, that would be amazing, maybe too good. But just... it does basically nothing but bad things as is
I don't really think Crobat is the strongest Pokémon from Johto, I'd rather give that role to Scizor. SD Technician Bullet Punch gets rid of everything. But other than that great video, surely interesting topic
@@nhlvan togekiss is the only one I'd actually agree with. It's amazing overall, air slash is amazing, it's got amazing support moves, and it's got decent stats. It's one of the most used first turn mons in doubles. The others.... Ehh not that good at all
@@PrismaAce I mean, Noivern is a dragon type, which is generally considered to be a strong type for any Pokemon to be, but I never felt it was one of the better ones. It's not terrible by any means, but it's definitely lacking when compared to Greninja or Aegislash, as you said
In my opinion this is what should have been the best from each generation. Gen 1: Alakazam. Arcanine is pretty good but it doesn't get enough coverage. Alakazam has really good coverage as well as really good speed and special attack and if you give it a life orb it doesn't take damage from it because of magic guard. Gen 2: Scizor. I'm surprised you didn't even bring up scizor at all when talking about gen 2. It has a stab, technician boosted bullet punch which is capable of dominating opposing teams if used correctly. Crobat is... Meh. I mean it can do pretty good damage, but it's attack stat isn't high enough for it to be capable of easily sweeping teams (which is it's primary purpose). Gen 3: Blaziken. Need I say more? *S P E E E D B O O S T.* Milotic is good, But... Baziken is broken. Gen 4: I agree with you that Togekiss is the best. So I'm not going to write a whole essay on it. Gen 5: Excadrill. Volcarona is probably second, but Excadrill is undoubtedly first (in my opinion). With sand stream support it is easily capable of sweeping teams with its incredible 130 base attack. Even if you're not running sand rush its still pretty good, but your going to be running sand rush. Gen 6: Greninja. This is another case like blaziken where it's ability (in this case protean) makes it incredibly good. I really don't think I need to explain myself with this pick. Gen 7: I'm surprised you even considered Golisopod for the list. It's ability is just horrible. I think the best option here is incineroar. It gets access to intimidate which is an incredble abilty. It also gets parting shot and fake out so it can take advantage of this incredible ability. It also gets decent offensive coverage as well, but your mostly going to use it as an intimidate pivot. Gen 8: *T H E V I S H*
I prefer yours better. Most of the Pokemon you listed fared better in competitive battle than his list. For the newer meta, I think Arcanine is a better one than Alakazam. For Gen 5, either Volcarona or Excadrill is good, but Excadrill had better days in competitive days. For Gen 7, Incineroar is like Arcanine (Intimidate user), but with a Dark typing for additional coverage. Definitely better than Golisopod. Statistic of Incineroar usage at competitive play disagree that Golisopod is better, lol
@That One Guy In The Comment Section to be honest I completely forgot that serperior existed. I would still say excadrill is better tho because of serperior terrible, horrible, no good, very bad movepool. It gets grass coverage, it gets dragon pulse, and that's basically it. Although I guess you only really need leaf storm to sweep but serperior also has a bad typing (both offensively and defensively) while excadrills typing is one of the best offensively. Also you can't underestimate the power of sand rush.
I’d love to see who the strongest and weakest of each type, minus legendaries of course but including pseudos since they’re mostly all dragons so let that fight happen.
I just started watching your videos and wow this one was really amazing. Loved how you went Region by Region in great detail. It was nice re-living memories and now Galar is a far-off pre-covid memory so it REALLY feels like a lot of time has happened between now and 2019. Fantastic job in this one
Yeah, that was maybe the most clear misstep on this list. He explicitly named Gyarados and Snorlax, which have both been stronger than arcanine for decades. Gens 5, and 8, 4, and maybe 3 were strong picks. But 1, 2, and 6 were pretty rough choices. I don’t know if he forgot scizor, greninja, or aegislash exist.
@@johnkoerner8125 he has an overreliance on base stats and what seems to be anime cannon(?) He needs to study up more on smogon and competitive battling and past metas, thats where you can really evaluate accurately
In SwSh "stone" evolution Pokemon have access to their pre-evolution's movesets right away from the move Relearner in the Pokecenter. No need to delay any of those evolutions until the late mid game anymore.
I've been waiting on a video for the best Pokemon (stats or personal preference) of each body type from one of the many Poketubers. Honestly, you're probably the best 'mon for the job.
You can agree or disagree with certain choices (though I personally think they were solid and made sense), but one thing is certain - your content is creative and unique. keep up the good work!
It really wouldn't have fared much better. With all the Fire and Water going around it would struggle, and it's only fast in sand which it would have take a turn to set up in this scenario. So it would probably go down before getting to make use of it thanks to it's low defenses
Wow im early.... btw I just wanted to say that u are my favourite poketuber because we have many common pokemon we like , like Empoleon , Mamoswine, Roserade, etc.
The Togepi line is my favourite line of Pokemon, with all three stages in first spot of favourite Pokemon. On my Heartgold, I have 6/7 Togekiss with different moves and I think not a single one has a move the others have. Maybe a few have Air Slash, but I taught them Flamethrower, Water Pulse, Psychic, Shock Wave, Magical Leaf, Aura Sphere, Hyper Beam, Extrasensory, Nasty Plot and I can't really remember the others haha. Truly an amazing Pokemon!
I kinda have a soft spot for Volcarona since gen 6. One time I wanted to do a playthrough with the challenge that I'll only keep my starter but for the rest of the team I send my first few caught Pokemon into wonder trade and then keep whatever I get back as my team members from start to finish. One of the Pokemon I got was a Larvesta. Couldn't use that much in battle since it was pretty weak but eventually it evolved and Volcarona became a very beloved team member.
Bruh, gotta keep it 100 but this list is trash. Crobat, Golisopod, Noivern should be no where near this list. And regardless of typing, Volcarona would obliterate Milotic and Crobat. Hurricane also wreaks Golisopod so that one is at worst a toss up. Who mans is this?
Fun concept! I think the final decision ended up being too determined by the typings within the group of 8 though. I understand you have to pick the winner somehow, but I'm not convinced that Volcarona is the weakest overall of those 8. Its matchups against the other 7 pokemon is not the same thing as its overall strength.
@@lovelyluna773 dawg greninja is BROKEN lmao, it doesn’t need electric type coverage when stab hydro pump/grass knot/gunk shot/ice beam just mauls through almost everything
kinda surprised that Protean Greninja, and Libero Cinderace weren't addressed, Aegislash I do think could have been on the list since if we consider items like with dracovish then leftovers on Aegislash makes for a rude pairing against it with king's shield lowering the attack stat
I do believe Aegislash is amazing! However it can also be predictable. If you can take a King's Shield turn to set up boosts instead of dropping your attack the tides could turn...
@@Waiter1986 Definitely Goodra, just by comparison. It's an obligate Special wall staring down 7 physical attackers and Hydreigon, second slowest (second only to Tyranitar, who learns Dragon Dance anyway). If Dragapult aims for anyone besides Metagross or Dragonite they're out, Garchomp is a second elimination round, Salamence, Tyranitar, and Metagross can Mega-Evolve (Garchomp wouldn't choose to), Dragonite is basically all but unkillable, and even Kommo-o has its signature Z-move. Goodra is a check to Hydreigon, and that's about it.
I think Wishiwashi has the best prohibitive ability because it appears to be more of a buff than a nerf since technically its base form is the weak little fish so the ability feels a lot cooler
I know this is an old comment, on a old video but I had to answer that! Goodra is the weakest pseudo. All pseudos were in the OU tier in some point of their careers but Goodra was never viable there, his stat distribuitions are bad and he has no great gimmick like TTar's sand stream or Dragonite's Multiscale to stand out or even a good boosting move. Ok. He has no 4x weakness but he's so unimpressive for a defensive pokemon, that IDK why would you pick him for a serious fight...he would get demolished in this battle royale At least his Hisuian variant is good, hope he makes it into the main games!
For the best johto pokemon i would say scizor It is a very high atk and decent bulk It only has 1 weakness and it has 8 resistance It can set up swords dance without dying as it has good recovery It also has bullet punch with is boosted by technician to atk faster foes
@@emperorcubone base stats arent that important. There are pokemon with high basestats that are way, way worse than some with lower base stats. In this case scizor is just so good.
Despite skipping over a few dependants like Milotic not having the attack power to take out Volcarona before that first QD which is a game ender in most cases, if they're wild or captured, or even Volcarona burning with Flame Body, I think generally agree with this for the most part.
Being based off fuu dogs, ferocious guardian spirits; I could totally see Arcanine being fire / dragon type. Not only is it the “legendary” Pokemon, it would mean that Kanto dragon types would no longer be restricted to the Dragonite line. This would make it slightly easier to fight Lorelei and Lance, and would even give Lance another Pokemon to add to his own party. It would fit Lance perfectly if it had Own Tempo to sidestep Outrage’s drawback - seeing as Lance cheeses players by spamming full restores, and using under-levelled Dragonites. Maybe even Blane could use one too, to make his gym stronger.
i think you should messure their movesets and stats and uses against eachothers, not the typing... obviously if you do it like how you did iif a pokemon had bad type matchup with the other mons it will lose, even tho volcarona, or any other unova pokemon for tat matter could easily win...
I did though; like I said Milotic would have a hard time with Noivern... Unless it had Ice Beam. I factored that in with the damage calculator, I tried giving them the best moves possible for each opponent.
@@emperorcubone tbh since i mostly see milotic with ice beam it is kinda given but i think you should value them with abilitiees but not battle against another, also i love your vids!
Yesssss my favorite made the cut. Crobat is Brobat. When I was little I wanted to try a new team and wasn't that familiar with Friendship evolutions. Caught a Zubat early on and ended up reaching its final stage at Lvl 26.
(11:40) Noivern is one of my favorites, actually. I caught my Noivern as a Noibat during my Pokémon Sword playthrough, and I flew that thing through hell and back.
I’m sure someone’s already said this, but on the off chance no one’s mentioned it... you don’t actually need to level up base forms of stone-evolutions to acquire their entire moveset in Sword and Shield. They acquire *every* available move that the base form can learn right away, you just need to go to the pokecentre and talk to the guy on the left to “remember” the moves you want. In addition, stone-evos can learn tm/tr moves now, too
I do think this isn't a great way to decide who is really the weakest of the strongest, after all it's not that Volcarona is actually weaker than the others, it just has a type disadvantage. That said, there is no reasonable way to measure all of these pokemon against every single possibility so this is the best way. I personally think Dracovish, it is far too reliant on Fishious Rend and out speeding it's opponent.
3:21 no i can't arcanine is god awful in competitive meanwhile alakazam is a great OU special sweeper chansey has been the stall king since gen 1 and clefable is literally the best pokemon in OU
Yeah, that's a good point. Arcanine is a questionable choice at best; but this is kind of par for the course for most fire types due to their type not being very good defensively. Because of this, the ones that are best tend to be hard hitting; and having said that, I can't say that with other choices like Crobat, Noivern, or Arcanine being nominated that there is any way that Volcarona should be the one picked as the "weakest" of these choices.
to show him up on all other gens gen 2, blissey has toxic/seismic toss; scizors better in competitve gen 3, there isn't much gen 3 in OU, but pelliper still exists, though i could get not giving it the title do to drizzle being essentially for support gen 4, yeah, fair, but its weird to present it as some great attacker because it's ONLY a flinch/para haxxer gen 5, pretty much correct gen 6, thats just objectively wrong, greninja was the literal second best in gen 7 OU, and aegishlash was banned to ubers gen 7, toxapex is an ou stall staple, meanwhile, goliosopod is in RU gen 8, galarian darmanitan was banned to ubers first, choice band the ability is lowkey better than a single strong move
@@emperorcubone since my original comment was about gen i'll stick to that for now, both chansey and clefable are stall, not glass cannons, and clefable in particular can sweep/stall out almost anything with it's varied move pool and magic guard
I'm going by Coverage Moves here Arcanine: Can learn Wild Charge to Cover Water types, Dig for Rock Types, and even Play Rough for Dragon Types. Crobat: Steel Wing to Cover Ice and Rock Types Milotic: Again, Ice Beam Togekiss: Heat Wave to Cover Steel and Ice Types, Aura Sphere to Cover Steel and Rock, Steel Wing to Cover Ice and Rock Types Volcarona: Can Learn Giga Drain to Take Care of Water and it's 4 types Weakness to Rock Noivern: Just like Togekiss and Crobat, Steel Wing to Cover 3 of it's weaknesses: Ice, Fairy, and Rock Golispod: Ice Beam to Cover Flying types, and Close Combat to Take Care of Rock Types. Dracovish: Iron Head for Fairy Types
Again, I did consider this in the damage calculations; I gave each of them favorable moves for their matchups, but when their best coverage moves take 3 hits vs. the enemy's 2, I went with the other one...
Quick reminder gen 8 has given stone evolution and friendship evolution a full list of Move Reminder moves so no you don't need good moves off the first or second forms just evolve them and remember all the good stuff. This is the best gen to make those Pokemon in as they no longer lose out on moves. They get the complete learn set now for free once evolved. This only gives you what the pre form learned not any weird TM or TR moves but if you need the learn set stuff then it's easy to get. Not a lot of people seem to know this is the case. Level of the evo does not matter at all they get all the moves.
justified is a great ability in doubles were you get a fast pokemon like whimsicott or dragapult to use beat up and hit arcainine 4 times to give it a plus 4 right off the back and become a sweeper.
I think a lot of this list had to do with stats rather than which are literally the most top tier in the region. I mean he showed the stats for all of them before the different movepool and the resistances.
I mean, I love Noivern, it's a great glass cannon and one of my top 10 favorite Pokemon and an incredible glass cannon, but it's not best in Kalos, that's for sure. It can't take a hit like at all. It will pretty much always go first, and get a good chunk, but if the opponent survives, Noivern dies. I'm really shocked Aegislash didn't get the spot. Doesn't get many offensive types, but it hits like a truck, absorbs hits like they're nothing, and is iconic for being a Pokemon sent straight to ubers because it's so good
It's a really strong lists, though I do have some differing opinions. Gen 1: I don't see Gyarados mentioned a lot here. Intimidate is always a good tool, and DD is always a good tool for his arsenal. Gen 2: Scizor is an amazing an imo works better than Crobat, losing out only on speed that can be patched up by BP. Gen 3: Milotic is pretty much what'd I would choose, and you said everything. The sheer natural special bulk it has, plus the physical bulk from Marvel Scale is just a recipe for an annoying mon. That or you can go more aggressive with Competitive. Gen 4: There's other contenders like Infernape, but Togekiss is just too good. Just the flinch hax puts her in a rather high spot (albeit very cheaply), plus the coverage and support moves like Wish that this thing has, only hindered by a rather slow speed. Though with a good speed support or a simple Choice Scarf, you can just grind anything with Air Slash. Gen 5: A toss between Excadrill and Volc tbh. Volc is more aggressive whereas Exca is kore all rounded, though I'd consdier Exca better, just for its sheer versatility at being an offensive mon with SD, or a support mon with Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin without losing much power with a STAB Earthquake. Gen 6: It's hard not to pick Protean Greninja. Not much to be said, super fast, good attack, even better ability. That being said, Aegislash is at the same level of broken, and sometimes even more, though it has been a little quiet for this fella for a bit now. Gen 7: Imo Incineroar is a good contender here. Intimidate, again, a good ability, even better when paired with Parting Shot. Plus, it has a good offensive capability and great STABS typings for attacking. Pheromosa would also be a choice, but she's more of a glass cannon. Super fast, hits super hard, dies super quick. Gen 8: Geez, just by looking at this dex there's a lot of good mons here. Rillaboom, Cinderace, Corviknight, Fish, GDarm. Rilla and Cinder is already infamous, Corviknight is just an annoying support that can set up with Bulk Up for painful attacks, and ofc, Fish and GDarm. Fish wins here just for there sheer ease of use and breaking power it has, but the others are just too good to not consider to.
Let them fight!! Also, ev distribution could play a factor. Most people would put the EVs in their best stats, but I've seen a lot of battles with very weird ev spreads that it changes the outcome
I think it's often better to invest in different areas, since as you say it can catch people by surprise if they have a bit more defense instead of just over-stacking its attack.
@@JazzyWaffles Yes, isopods are a diverse group of crustaceans found in most every terrestrial and marine habitat. Pillbugs are the most famous types of isopods, but Wimpod is based on the beach scavenging sea slaters and Golisopod on the deep sea dwelling giant isopods.
I have used 5 of these pokemon, having used Golisopod and Arcanine for casual playthroughs of their respective games, and having used Crobat, Volcarona, and Noivern competitively. Noivern is strong, but my Volcarona and Crobat did work. I built my Crobat to be a special attacker that sets up with Nasty Plot, and I usually lead with it to get off the setup. I can't count how many people that Crobat has forced to forfeit, and how many others it's swept. As for Volcarona, it could usually clear one or two members of the opponent's team, but my best battle had it facing off against a Heatran. Through determination, a lot of Quiver Dances, and a lot of Bug Buzz and Giga Drain, my Volcarona won.
Video Idea: Do the strongest/weakest/most popular pokemon in each category (eg legendary, mythical, pseudo legend, starter, early route bug/bird/normal type, fossil, pokemon with no evolution, babies, each type, pokemon Ash uses in anime, TCG etc.)
I would love to see a video like this with all 9 generations. Basically, the best and worst of each generation. And I understand that Gen. 8 engine 9 dumped a lot of pokemon so it would be kind of hard to compare ones that are not in the decks anymore.
Gen 1 should be Gyrados. It's in the OU tier for many generations for a reason. Dragon dance makes it a scary sweeper. Arcanine just seems like Entei's younger brother and Entei is not used much.
I dunno about Volca- It struggles against two or three special attackers with some good bulk against an and then it gets one Quiver Dance and I dunno if Milotic will be able to stop it- Ever. Especially since Volca has access to Giga Drain to keep itself sustained and to handle its Water weaknesses. As for against Togekiss and Noivern- I think it could handle Togekiss of course implying you don't fish for Flinches with Air Slash Togekiss or hit Hurricane on Noivern. Barring any and all accuracy checks is the one issue I could see with this set up that kinda leaves Volcarona behind. I'd suggest looking into it as a possible factor due to the fact we're only comparing strong moves and ignoring accuracy checks.
I don’t understand how you could call yourself a Pokémon channel and make a video about the strongest non-legendary status Pokémon and not even mention aegislash who was so strong it got banned from OU
What i figured the list would've been was 1.Snorlax 2.Azumarill/Scizor 3.Gardevoir 4.Togekiss/Rotom 5.Excadrill 6.Aegislash 7.Mimikyu/Toxapex and 8.Galarian Darmanitan,but i suppose it was just based on the base stat totals
According to current meta Gen1: Alakazam, Nidoking, Chansey Gen2: Azumarill, Scizor, Blissey Gen3: Blaziken Gen4: Togekiss, Weavile, Lucario Gen5: Excadrill, Volcorna ( heavy duty boots ) Gen 6: Greninja Gen7: The water poison spiky jelly fish Gen8: Dracovish, G - Darmantan
Um, I don't really agree with the fact that you have pokemon such as arcanine as the best pokemon for kanto as other pokemon that might have lower basestats are actualy way stronger, for example clefable is better in every way. But great job even if I don't agree with the picks I did find the video fun and thats like the most important part
YES FINALLY NOIVERN GETS ITS TIME TO SHINE, ITS MY FAVOURITE POKEMON AND IT DOESNT GET TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH, I USED ONE AND ITS A SWEEPER WITH SKY PLATE AND AIR SLASH
I have to say, I love this channel, as in accurate as this video was. It has really unique concepts and is excellently scripted. That said I'd like to go on a small rant about your choices here. Gen 1: Arcanine isn't even that good, it's a jack of all trades master of none. It's been UU and below consistently in every gen. I'd vote for alakazam, Snorlax or gengar for here. Also stealth rocks 25%'s it, meaning it either has to throw away alot of health or not be able to use an item that helps it. Gen 2: Crobat isn't that good. Stealth rocks again, and it's outclasses by a few things. Crobat isn't bad at all but it certainly isn't top tier. Scizor, tyranitar or skarmory are the one I'd nominate for this. Scizor hits like a truck with technician boosted STAB priority bullet punch and bug bite deals alot of damage too. Skarmory is the life and soul of many stall teams till gen 8, at which point it's still very important for UU stall teams. Tyranitar is decently strong, it dominated with Excadrill long ago but it lost a lot of viability with the loss of pursuit and being outclassed by hippowdon. Gen 3: Milotic? Really? It's a good bulky water but not top tier at all. Salamence was overwhelmingly good in gen 3 so that's one I'd choose but there are more it has fallen out quite a bit in the past years, Metagross is also good but it got the same thing as salamence, Blaziken is actually one that has gotten significantly better nowadays, only because of speed boost(well and mega). Overall gen 3 has multiple amazing mons but none that stood up to the test of time. Remind me if I'm missing something good. Gen 4: Gen 4 has many good tier mons. Garchomp and togekiss are both mons I love and are really good. Air slash and support is amazing. And garchomp has an excellent speed, attack and movepool. So yeah, good choice. Gen 5: this gen was the start of the rapid power boost of Pokemon, everything started being too powerful and volcarona, as good as it is. Was not the best. It's got everything going for it, good stats, a powerful movepool, it's ability was ok, and it had a good boosting move but stealth rocks takes it down to half health, which you can ignore with boots but now you can't use a choice item or life orb. Ferrothorn and Excadrill were the best by far, ferrothorn is still one of the best stall mons along with corviknight and sand rush Excadrill was even banned from ou in BW. Even without sand rush Excadrill dominated with sand force and mold breaker. Overall Excadrill gets the win here. Gen 6: Greninja is by far the best mon in gen 6 along with aegislash, and both are still amazing, aegislash has the advantage of being able to switch between a tank and a glass cannon any time it wishes to. While Greninja gets STAB on every move. Which is invaluable, overall Greninja is definitely better, especially as aegislash is at the bottom of ou as of now. Noivern is decent but nowhere near top tier. With good stats but ok movepool a subpar ability and nothing special. Gen 7: Toxapex is the god of stall and is one of the best mons in gen 7, mimikyu is also really good being able to survive something important and being able to waste an enemy's dynamax/ Z-Move if predicted right. Of course it's not as good anymore as Z-moves don't exist and it's ability is also nerfed. Golisopod is really good but has a terrible ability which holds it back considerably. Gen 8:the meta is still changing so I can't say but corviknight, dragapult and a few others are really good as of now

@@PrismaAce lmao greninja is good but definitely not broken unlike Aegislash
its pretty fun that volcarona actually is the 2nd strongest out of them in competitive, behind Dracovish.
In my opinion this is what should have been the best from each generation.
Gen 1: Alakazam. Arcanine is pretty good but it doesn't get enough coverage. Alakazam has really good coverage as well as really good speed and special attack and if you give it a life orb it doesn't take damage from it because of magic guard.
Gen 2: Scizor. I'm surprised you didn't even bring up scizor at all when talking about gen 2. It has a stab, technician boosted bullet punch which is capable of dominating opposing teams if used correctly. Crobat is... Meh. I mean it can do pretty good damage, but it's attack stat isn't high enough for it to be capable of easily sweeping teams (which is it's primary purpose).
Gen 3: Blaziken. Need I say more? *S P E E E D B O O S T.* Milotic is good, But... Baziken is broken.
Gen 4: I agree with you that Togekiss is the best. So I'm not going to write a whole essay on it.
Gen 5: Excadrill. Volcarona is probably second, but Excadrill is undoubtedly first (in my opinion). With sand stream support it is easily capable of sweeping teams with its incredible 130 base attack. Even if you're not running sand rush its still pretty good, but your going to be running sand rush.
Gen 6: Greninja. This is another case like blaziken where it's ability (in this case protean) makes it incredibly good. I really don't think I need to explain myself with this pick.
Gen 7: I'm surprised you even considered Golisopod for the list. It's ability is just horrible. I think the best option here is incineroar. It gets access to intimidate which is an incredble abilty. It also gets parting shot and fake out so it can take advantage of this incredible ability. It also gets decent offensive coverage as well, but your mostly going to use it as an intimidate pivot.
Gen 8: *T H E V I S H*
I prefer yours better. Most of the Pokemon you listed fared better in competitive battle than his list. For the newer meta, I think Arcanine is a better one than Alakazam. For Gen 5, either Volcarona or Excadrill is good, but Excadrill had better days in competitive days. For Gen 7, Incineroar is like Arcanine (Intimidate user), but with a Dark typing for additional coverage. Definitely better than Golisopod. Statistic of Incineroar usage at competitive play disagree that Golisopod is better, lol
I agree for the most part except gen 6 has Aegislash.
@iornx98 Aegislash got a nerf in gen 8 making it a lot worse. Now it isnt even used that much.
@That One Guy In The Comment Section to be honest I completely forgot that serperior existed. I would still say excadrill is better tho because of serperior terrible, horrible, no good, very bad movepool. It gets grass coverage, it gets dragon pulse, and that's basically it. Although I guess you only really need leaf storm to sweep but serperior also has a bad typing (both offensively and defensively) while excadrills typing is one of the best offensively. Also you can't underestimate the power of sand rush.
@@thatonepersonyouknowtheone7781 i mean yes but good luck setting up 3 leaf storms without getting checked or revenge killed

Arcanine is absolutely NOT better than gengar, alakazam, or gyarados lol.
Yeah, that was maybe the most clear misstep on this list. He explicitly named Gyarados and Snorlax, which have both been stronger than arcanine for decades. Gens 5, and 8, 4, and maybe 3 were strong picks. But 1, 2, and 6 were pretty rough choices. I don’t know if he forgot scizor, greninja, or aegislash exist.

In SwSh "stone" evolution Pokemon have access to their pre-evolution's movesets right away from the move Relearner in the Pokecenter. No need to delay any of those evolutions until the late mid game anymore.

Aloisio Soares Senra quit coughing
u have corona or smth?
Drink some water
It really wouldn't have fared much better. With all the Fire and Water going around it would struggle, and it's only fast in sand which it would have take a turn to set up in this scenario. So it would probably go down before getting to make use of it thanks to it's low defenses
I came here for flygon, I left seeing my boy volcarona get pooped on. Yet earning a victory. I'm conflicted
Wow im early.... btw I just wanted to say that u are my favourite poketuber because we have many common pokemon we like , like Empoleon , Mamoswine, Roserade, etc.
Flipped the script here aye Royal Cubone? I love it!
Thanks for another great vid Emperor Cubone 💙🐱💙
The Togepi line is my favourite line of Pokemon, with all three stages in first spot of favourite Pokemon. On my Heartgold, I have 6/7 Togekiss with different moves and I think not a single one has a move the others have. Maybe a few have Air Slash, but I taught them Flamethrower, Water Pulse, Psychic, Shock Wave, Magical Leaf, Aura Sphere, Hyper Beam, Extrasensory, Nasty Plot and I can't really remember the others haha. Truly an amazing Pokemon!
I kinda have a soft spot for Volcarona since gen 6. One time I wanted to do a playthrough with the challenge that I'll only keep my starter but for the rest of the team I send my first few caught Pokemon into wonder trade and then keep whatever I get back as my team members from start to finish. One of the Pokemon I got was a Larvesta. Couldn't use that much in battle since it was pretty weak but eventually it evolved and Volcarona became a very beloved team member.
Enjoyable video, can't wait for the next.
I personally like this style of video, and I think it’d be entertaining to do one for strongest/weakest _____ type of every region.
Bruh, gotta keep it 100 but this list is trash. Crobat, Golisopod, Noivern should be no where near this list. And regardless of typing, Volcarona would obliterate Milotic and Crobat. Hurricane also wreaks Golisopod so that one is at worst a toss up. Who mans is this?
Good vid man been following you for a while love the content
When you said 'acoustic bat' I imagined a bat shaped guitar and laughed
Fun concept! I think the final decision ended up being too determined by the typings within the group of 8 though. I understand you have to pick the winner somehow, but I'm not convinced that Volcarona is the weakest overall of those 8. Its matchups against the other 7 pokemon is not the same thing as its overall strength.
Subscribed! Awesome video!
How was greninja not on this. Protean and 122 base speed should be more than enough to give it one over noivern.
@@lovelyluna773 dawg greninja is BROKEN lmao, it doesn’t need electric type coverage when stab hydro pump/grass knot/gunk shot/ice beam just mauls through almost everything
@@lovelyluna773 Greninja often uses spikes to make it immune to electric moves.

Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :)
Jsi borec.
kinda surprised that Protean Greninja, and Libero Cinderace weren't addressed, Aegislash I do think could have been on the list since if we consider items like with dracovish then leftovers on Aegislash makes for a rude pairing against it with king's shield lowering the attack stat
I do believe Aegislash is amazing! However it can also be predictable. If you can take a King's Shield turn to set up boosts instead of dropping your attack the tides could turn...
I’d love to see you do a video like this about the pseudolegendaries!
It’s definitely Goodra or Kommo-O tho
@@Waiter1986 Definitely Goodra, just by comparison. It's an obligate Special wall staring down 7 physical attackers and Hydreigon, second slowest (second only to Tyranitar, who learns Dragon Dance anyway). If Dragapult aims for anyone besides Metagross or Dragonite they're out, Garchomp is a second elimination round, Salamence, Tyranitar, and Metagross can Mega-Evolve (Garchomp wouldn't choose to), Dragonite is basically all but unkillable, and even Kommo-o has its signature Z-move. Goodra is a check to Hydreigon, and that's about it.
@@elijahpadilla5083 we are not comparing with each other , its just overall and goodra is probably the worst pseudo legend by far
Okie the title is a little bit confusing😅
Yeah, I admit it is. But it's consistent with the last one.
that’s what makes u want to click it 😂
I must have *the big brain*
Loulou!!
O hail, Emperor Cubone. Your poke intel is dope!
I think Wishiwashi has the best prohibitive ability because it appears to be more of a buff than a nerf since technically its base form is the weak little fish so the ability feels a lot cooler
I'd love to see weakest strongest pseudolegendary! Nice video!!
Maybe one day. I'd honestly kind of like to know too...
I know this is an old comment, on a old video but I had to answer that!
Goodra is the weakest pseudo. All pseudos were in the OU tier in some point of their careers but Goodra was never viable there, his stat distribuitions are bad and he has no great gimmick like TTar's sand stream or Dragonite's Multiscale to stand out or even a good boosting move.
Ok. He has no 4x weakness but he's so unimpressive for a defensive pokemon, that IDK why would you pick him for a serious fight...he would get demolished in this battle royale
At least his Hisuian variant is good, hope he makes it into the main games!
For the best johto pokemon i would say scizor
It is a very high atk and decent bulk
It only has 1 weakness and it has 8 resistance
It can set up swords dance without dying as it has good recovery
It also has bullet punch with is boosted by technician to atk faster foes
I mean, you're not wrong, but it's base stat total is the SAME as Scyther's. I just couldn't get past that...
@@emperorcubone base stats arent that important. There are pokemon with high basestats that are way, way worse than some with lower base stats. In this case scizor is just so good.
Azumarill is better, people forget azumarill
@@emperorcubone This comment is the straw that broke my back. Youre reasoning is stupidity incarnate. Im over this channel peace
I’d love to see a tournament between these eight Pokémon.
Despite skipping over a few dependants like Milotic not having the attack power to take out Volcarona before that first QD which is a game ender in most cases, if they're wild or captured, or even Volcarona burning with Flame Body, I think generally agree with this for the most part.
Being based off fuu dogs, ferocious guardian spirits; I could totally see Arcanine being fire / dragon type.
Not only is it the “legendary” Pokemon, it would mean that Kanto dragon types would no longer be restricted to the Dragonite line.
This would make it slightly easier to fight Lorelei and Lance, and would even give Lance another Pokemon to add to his own party.
It would fit Lance perfectly if it had Own Tempo to sidestep Outrage’s drawback - seeing as Lance cheeses players by spamming full restores, and using under-levelled Dragonites.
Maybe even Blane could use one too, to make his gym stronger.
i think you should messure their movesets and stats and uses against eachothers, not the typing...
obviously if you do it like how you did iif a pokemon had bad type matchup with the other mons it will lose, even tho volcarona, or any other unova pokemon for tat matter could easily win...
I did though; like I said Milotic would have a hard time with Noivern... Unless it had Ice Beam. I factored that in with the damage calculator, I tried giving them the best moves possible for each opponent.
@@emperorcubone tbh since i mostly see milotic with ice beam it is kinda given but i think you should value them with abilitiees but not battle against another, also i love your vids!
Yeah I mean, a QD Volcarona with Giga Drain or Solar Beam just rekts Water types, lel
Yesssss my favorite made the cut. Crobat is Brobat.
When I was little I wanted to try a new team and wasn't that familiar with Friendship evolutions. Caught a Zubat early on and ended up reaching its final stage at Lvl 26.
(11:40) Noivern is one of my favorites, actually. I caught my Noivern as a Noibat during my Pokémon Sword playthrough, and I flew that thing through hell and back.
I still have that Arcanine card from when I used to collect them way back in the mid 2000s, big nostalgia hit righ there
I’m sure someone’s already said this, but on the off chance no one’s mentioned it... you don’t actually need to level up base forms of stone-evolutions to acquire their entire moveset in Sword and Shield. They acquire *every* available move that the base form can learn right away, you just need to go to the pokecentre and talk to the guy on the left to “remember” the moves you want. In addition, stone-evos can learn tm/tr moves now, too
14:47
So you’re saying that we got outclassed by a freak of bones?
I do think this isn't a great way to decide who is really the weakest of the strongest, after all it's not that Volcarona is actually weaker than the others, it just has a type disadvantage. That said, there is no reasonable way to measure all of these pokemon against every single possibility so this is the best way. I personally think Dracovish, it is far too reliant on Fishious Rend and out speeding it's opponent.
Oh Dracovish is absolutely a one trick pony; that's certain. As I said a simple Water immunity would dismantle it...
This hits different now that Volcarona got banned to Ubers…
Really cool video!!!...
3:21
no i can't
arcanine is god awful in competitive
meanwhile
alakazam is a great OU special sweeper
chansey has been the stall king since gen 1
and clefable is literally the best pokemon in OU
Yeah, that's a good point. Arcanine is a questionable choice at best; but this is kind of par for the course for most fire types due to their type not being very good defensively. Because of this, the ones that are best tend to be hard hitting; and having said that, I can't say that with other choices like Crobat, Noivern, or Arcanine being nominated that there is any way that Volcarona should be the one picked as the "weakest" of these choices.
to show him up on all other gens
gen 2, blissey has toxic/seismic toss; scizors better in competitve
gen 3, there isn't much gen 3 in OU, but pelliper still exists, though i could get not giving it the title do to drizzle being essentially for support
gen 4, yeah, fair, but its weird to present it as some great attacker because it's ONLY a flinch/para haxxer
gen 5, pretty much correct
gen 6, thats just objectively wrong, greninja was the literal second best in gen 7 OU, and aegishlash was banned to ubers
gen 7, toxapex is an ou stall staple, meanwhile, goliosopod is in RU
gen 8, galarian darmanitan was banned to ubers first, choice band the ability is lowkey better than a single strong move
Competitive ain't life friends. And it had precious little influence on these choices. (But I don't consider glass cannons as the best there is...)
@@emperorcubone since my original comment was about gen i'll stick to that for now, both chansey and clefable are stall, not glass cannons, and clefable in particular can sweep/stall out almost anything with it's varied move pool and magic guard

I wonder if you will make a list about the best mythical pokemon
Maybe, one day. I'll have to think about it.
I'm going by Coverage Moves here
Arcanine: Can learn Wild Charge to Cover Water types, Dig for Rock Types, and even Play Rough for Dragon Types.
Crobat: Steel Wing to Cover Ice and Rock Types
Milotic: Again, Ice Beam
Togekiss: Heat Wave to Cover Steel and Ice Types, Aura Sphere to Cover Steel and Rock, Steel Wing to Cover Ice and Rock Types
Volcarona: Can Learn Giga Drain to Take Care of Water and it's 4 types Weakness to Rock
Noivern: Just like Togekiss and Crobat, Steel Wing to Cover 3 of it's weaknesses: Ice, Fairy, and Rock
Golispod: Ice Beam to Cover Flying types, and Close Combat to Take Care of Rock Types.
Dracovish: Iron Head for Fairy Types
Again, I did consider this in the damage calculations; I gave each of them favorable moves for their matchups, but when their best coverage moves take 3 hits vs. the enemy's 2, I went with the other one...
Quick reminder gen 8 has given stone evolution and friendship evolution a full list of Move Reminder moves so no you don't need good moves off the first or second forms just evolve them and remember all the good stuff. This is the best gen to make those Pokemon in as they no longer lose out on moves. They get the complete learn set now for free once evolved. This only gives you what the pre form learned not any weird TM or TR moves but if you need the learn set stuff then it's easy to get. Not a lot of people seem to know this is the case. Level of the evo does not matter at all they get all the moves.
You mentioned how stealth rocks destroy volcorona? Gen 8 added the heavy duty boots for that
Well sure, I said "if" they were a factor. But it can be destroyed without it...
justified is a great ability in doubles were you get a fast pokemon like whimsicott or dragapult to use beat up and hit arcainine 4 times to give it a plus 4 right off the back and become a sweeper.
I think a lot of this list had to do with stats rather than which are literally the most top tier in the region. I mean he showed the stats for all of them before the different movepool and the resistances.
QOTD: which set of Legendary Pokémon do y’all think is better to evolve, the box-art Legendaries, or side Legendaries?
side legendaries.
The question confuses me; how many legendaries even evolve?
@@emperorcubone he's asking where box art legendaries should have evolutions or side legendaries.
Emperor Cubone Solgaleo, Lunala, Silvally, Urshifu
I really enjoyed using kingdra in the isle of armour and also used flygon in my shield playthrough both really fun pokemon to use.
>Kalos
>Doesn't even consider Aegislash
Ribombee was mvp on my Moon. Quiver Dance and Pollen Puff made it too easy!
0:50 did my man's really just forget mega Rayquaza? Smh my head
What is the strongest/weakest "Favorite" pokemon? (Take the most or least favorite pokemon from each region)
That's a pretty good question...
I mean, I love Noivern, it's a great glass cannon and one of my top 10 favorite Pokemon and an incredible glass cannon, but it's not best in Kalos, that's for sure. It can't take a hit like at all. It will pretty much always go first, and get a good chunk, but if the opponent survives, Noivern dies. I'm really shocked Aegislash didn't get the spot. Doesn't get many offensive types, but it hits like a truck, absorbs hits like they're nothing, and is iconic for being a Pokemon sent straight to ubers because it's so good
OMG YOU PUT MY FAVORITE POKEMON POG
It's a really strong lists, though I do have some differing opinions.
Gen 1: I don't see Gyarados mentioned a lot here. Intimidate is always a good tool, and DD is always a good tool for his arsenal.
Gen 2: Scizor is an amazing an imo works better than Crobat, losing out only on speed that can be patched up by BP.
Gen 3: Milotic is pretty much what'd I would choose, and you said everything. The sheer natural special bulk it has, plus the physical bulk from Marvel Scale is just a recipe for an annoying mon. That or you can go more aggressive with Competitive.
Gen 4: There's other contenders like Infernape, but Togekiss is just too good. Just the flinch hax puts her in a rather high spot (albeit very cheaply), plus the coverage and support moves like Wish that this thing has, only hindered by a rather slow speed. Though with a good speed support or a simple Choice Scarf, you can just grind anything with Air Slash.
Gen 5: A toss between Excadrill and Volc tbh. Volc is more aggressive whereas Exca is kore all rounded, though I'd consdier Exca better, just for its sheer versatility at being an offensive mon with SD, or a support mon with Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin without losing much power with a STAB Earthquake.
Gen 6: It's hard not to pick Protean Greninja. Not much to be said, super fast, good attack, even better ability. That being said, Aegislash is at the same level of broken, and sometimes even more, though it has been a little quiet for this fella for a bit now.
Gen 7: Imo Incineroar is a good contender here. Intimidate, again, a good ability, even better when paired with Parting Shot. Plus, it has a good offensive capability and great STABS typings for attacking. Pheromosa would also be a choice, but she's more of a glass cannon. Super fast, hits super hard, dies super quick.
Gen 8: Geez, just by looking at this dex there's a lot of good mons here. Rillaboom, Cinderace, Corviknight, Fish, GDarm. Rilla and Cinder is already infamous, Corviknight is just an annoying support that can set up with Bulk Up for painful attacks, and ofc, Fish and GDarm. Fish wins here just for there sheer ease of use and breaking power it has, but the others are just too good to not consider to.
Who's fish and gdarm
Let them fight!!
Also, ev distribution could play a factor. Most people would put the EVs in their best stats, but I've seen a lot of battles with very weird ev spreads that it changes the outcome
I think it's often better to invest in different areas, since as you say it can catch people by surprise if they have a bit more defense instead of just over-stacking its attack.
Great job
14:15 "This oversized... is it a crustacean?"
It's an isopod. It's literally in the name.
Well sure, but that doesn't answer whether an isopod is a crustacean...
@@emperorcubone I... think they technically are? I know crustacea is a subphylum of arthropods, so... probably?
@@JazzyWaffles Yes, isopods are a diverse group of crustaceans found in most every terrestrial and marine habitat. Pillbugs are the most famous types of isopods, but Wimpod is based on the beach scavenging sea slaters and Golisopod on the deep sea dwelling giant isopods.
I have used 5 of these pokemon, having used Golisopod and Arcanine for casual playthroughs of their respective games, and having used Crobat, Volcarona, and Noivern competitively. Noivern is strong, but my Volcarona and Crobat did work. I built my Crobat to be a special attacker that sets up with Nasty Plot, and I usually lead with it to get off the setup. I can't count how many people that Crobat has forced to forfeit, and how many others it's swept. As for Volcarona, it could usually clear one or two members of the opponent's team, but my best battle had it facing off against a Heatran. Through determination, a lot of Quiver Dances, and a lot of Bug Buzz and Giga Drain, my Volcarona won.
Noivern: Acoustic? You know I’m deathcore bro 🤘🏼
Video Idea: Do the strongest/weakest/most popular pokemon in each category (eg legendary, mythical, pseudo legend, starter, early route bug/bird/normal type, fossil, pokemon with no evolution, babies, each type, pokemon Ash uses in anime, TCG etc.)
I think for hoenn gardavoir would be better it learns more moves and it can also have recovery with life dew and it can also set up whit calm mind
Life dew is terrible recovery in singles. I agree with you that gardevoir is really strong, but for gen 3 swampert en blaziken are stronger.
THE SECOND A IN GARDEVOIR IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN E!
I would love to see a video like this with all 9 generations. Basically, the best and worst of each generation. And I understand that Gen. 8 engine 9 dumped a lot of pokemon so it would be kind of hard to compare ones that are not in the decks anymore.
Thank you
Gen 1 should be Gyrados. It's in the OU tier for many generations for a reason. Dragon dance makes it a scary sweeper.
Arcanine just seems like Entei's younger brother and Entei is not used much.
AGAIN, THERE SHOULD BE 2 A'S IN GYARADOS!
@@Amelia4111 Ok, Zoomer
What grass attack does arcanine get??
At least Solarbeam, I don't know what else...
@@emperorcubone ohhh alright
I dunno about Volca- It struggles against two or three special attackers with some good bulk against an and then it gets one Quiver Dance and I dunno if Milotic will be able to stop it- Ever. Especially since Volca has access to Giga Drain to keep itself sustained and to handle its Water weaknesses. As for against Togekiss and Noivern- I think it could handle Togekiss of course implying you don't fish for Flinches with Air Slash Togekiss or hit Hurricane on Noivern. Barring any and all accuracy checks is the one issue I could see with this set up that kinda leaves Volcarona behind. I'd suggest looking into it as a possible factor due to the fact we're only comparing strong moves and ignoring accuracy checks.
"where aren't gunna do pseudo legendaries" proceeds to use the first pseudo legendary as an example
I love emperor cubone but I think we can agree that he is not an experienced competitive battler
"It's dracovish"
Soooo Dracozolt, Libero Cinderace, Grassy Surge Rillaboom, Grimmsnarl, Hatterene,etc. aren't in the conversation? Nice to know.
Dracozolt is worse Dracovish. Grimmsnarl and Hatterene are just regular pokémon, nothing much. They don't have a base 180 water stab move.

I don’t understand how you could call yourself a Pokémon channel and make a video about the strongest non-legendary status Pokémon and not even mention aegislash who was so strong it got banned from OU
What i figured the list would've been was 1.Snorlax 2.Azumarill/Scizor 3.Gardevoir 4.Togekiss/Rotom 5.Excadrill 6.Aegislash 7.Mimikyu/Toxapex and 8.Galarian Darmanitan,but i suppose it was just based on the base stat totals
According to current meta
Gen1: Alakazam, Nidoking, Chansey
Gen2: Azumarill, Scizor, Blissey
Gen3: Blaziken
Gen4: Togekiss, Weavile, Lucario
Gen5: Excadrill, Volcorna ( heavy duty boots )
Gen 6: Greninja
Gen7: The water poison spiky jelly fish
Gen8: Dracovish, G - Darmantan
Um, I don't really agree with the fact that you have pokemon such as arcanine as the best pokemon for kanto as other pokemon that might have lower basestats are actualy way stronger, for example clefable is better in every way. But great job even if I don't agree with the picks I did find the video fun and thats like the most important part
I’d say galarian Darmanitan should be in consideration
YES FINALLY NOIVERN GETS ITS TIME TO SHINE, ITS MY FAVOURITE POKEMON AND IT DOESNT GET TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH, I USED ONE AND ITS A SWEEPER WITH SKY PLATE AND AIR SLASH
Noivern as good as he says, don't listen to this list, I love noivern but it really is not that good. So yeah,
So by this logic is Dracovish the strongest of the strong?
Also outnof curiosity any info on whatbthe strongest Not Dracovish Pokemon is from SwSh?
My guess is kinda on Darmanitan being second, because it is also pretty good competitively
Darmanitan galar is better then dracovish, way better
Lobe that route 4 intro theme
I have to say, I love this channel, as in accurate as this video was. It has really unique concepts and is excellently scripted. That said I'd like to go on a small rant about your choices here.
Gen 1: Arcanine isn't even that good, it's a jack of all trades master of none. It's been UU and below consistently in every gen. I'd vote for alakazam, Snorlax or gengar for here. Also stealth rocks 25%'s it, meaning it either has to throw away alot of health or not be able to use an item that helps it.
Gen 2: Crobat isn't that good. Stealth rocks again, and it's outclasses by a few things. Crobat isn't bad at all but it certainly isn't top tier. Scizor, tyranitar or skarmory are the one I'd nominate for this. Scizor hits like a truck with technician boosted STAB priority bullet punch and bug bite deals alot of damage too. Skarmory is the life and soul of many stall teams till gen 8, at which point it's still very important for UU stall teams. Tyranitar is decently strong, it dominated with Excadrill long ago but it lost a lot of viability with the loss of pursuit and being outclassed by hippowdon.
Gen 3: Milotic? Really? It's a good bulky water but not top tier at all. Salamence was overwhelmingly good in gen 3 so that's one I'd choose but there are more it has fallen out quite a bit in the past years, Metagross is also good but it got the same thing as salamence, Blaziken is actually one that has gotten significantly better nowadays, only because of speed boost(well and mega). Overall gen 3 has multiple amazing mons but none that stood up to the test of time. Remind me if I'm missing something good.
Gen 4: Gen 4 has many good tier mons. Garchomp and togekiss are both mons I love and are really good. Air slash and support is amazing. And garchomp has an excellent speed, attack and movepool. So yeah, good choice.
Gen 5: this gen was the start of the rapid power boost of Pokemon, everything started being too powerful and volcarona, as good as it is. Was not the best. It's got everything going for it, good stats, a powerful movepool, it's ability was ok, and it had a good boosting move but stealth rocks takes it down to half health, which you can ignore with boots but now you can't use a choice item or life orb. Ferrothorn and Excadrill were the best by far, ferrothorn is still one of the best stall mons along with corviknight and sand rush Excadrill was even banned from ou in BW. Even without sand rush Excadrill dominated with sand force and mold breaker. Overall Excadrill gets the win here.
Gen 6: Greninja is by far the best mon in gen 6 along with aegislash, and both are still amazing, aegislash has the advantage of being able to switch between a tank and a glass cannon any time it wishes to. While Greninja gets STAB on every move. Which is invaluable, overall Greninja is definitely better, especially as aegislash is at the bottom of ou as of now. Noivern is decent but nowhere near top tier. With good stats but ok movepool a subpar ability and nothing special.
Gen 7: Toxapex is the god of stall and is one of the best mons in gen 7, mimikyu is also really good being able to survive something important and being able to waste an enemy's dynamax/ Z-Move if predicted right. Of course it's not as good anymore as Z-moves don't exist and it's ability is also nerfed. Golisopod is really good but has a terrible ability which holds it back considerably.
Gen 8:the meta is still changing so I can't say but corviknight, dragapult and a few others are really good as of now
gen 5 comment aged badly
@@tayIorswif that it did lol
Honestly tho even back before boots volcarona shouldn't have been my choice I wasn't even that good at competitive Pokemon back then tho lol
