When I was a child I never payed attention. I simply played until I found a person I couldn't beat, then would grind in a field until I could win. At 28 I am actually learning how to play this game properly.
Abilities are a huge change, too, like huge power (which doubles attack but was a massive buff on azumarill because belly drum and being fairy type) or guts, which increases attack a lot when burnt when strength usually gets cut in half
Some people saying yall talk too fast, but personally i think most youtubers talk too slow, i often have to watch longer vids on 1.25x bc of all the pauses. Anyways great vid i love this channel, taking a break from my replay of legends arceus (im gonna complete the dex finally) to consume more pokemon content lol
So, I have been figuring out Sheer Force for a long time and this is what I have. We first have to look at the ability itself. It negates Secondary Effects. What exactly does that mean? Well there are certain things that count as Primary Effects such as Recoil, Self Stat Loss, Self KO, etc. These effects are usually the ones detrimental to the user or modifies the attack. This means Always Crit, High Crit and things like Flying Press’ dual typing is also a Primary Effect. Secondary Effects are many effects that have a % chance of happening after a move goes off. Status Chance, Flinches, Enemy Stat Lowering, Stat Boosts etc. are all considered Secondary Effects. Now, there are some hard coded exceptions that might not seem to be the case, but I am not gonna go into that. Now… from what I understand, they most likely coded many in battle effects as Secondary Effects as a shortcut to help with turn flow. For instance, Life Orb will tack on a Secondary Effect for you to lose 10% of Your HP every time you use a damaging move. This is why Sheer Force removes the recoil. A similar phenomenon occurs when you hold something like a Kings Rock. Interestingly they also coded Emergency Exit, Wimp Out, Berserk and a whole slew of both Abilities and Items that act in this way, thus are also negated by Sheer Force! Here is an interesting thing though. Only moves effected by Sheer Force has these effects negated. But you can add secondaries with Life Orb and Kings Rock… but Sheer Force won’t work on a move such as Earthquake when boosted by them. How does the game determine this? Starting from when Sheer Force was introduced, all moves have a Sheer Force Positive or Negative tag on them. And… currently we have a bug where Jet Punch (Palafin’s Signature Move) is affected by Sheer Force even though Priority is NOT a Secondary Effect. Only Palafin can get Jet Punch, so this will usually never show up, but if you hack Jet Punch on a Sheer Force Pokemon, you will see that Life Orb Recoil is negated and the move is still Priority.
700 speed but 2 in every other stat would be like a bad version of Deoxys-speed, where the main goal would be set up entry hazards and die. Of course, you could give this mon every supporting move in the game and it would be decent enough (used in Ubers as a sacrifice)
Natures determine a Pokémon's stat growth and preferred flavors. It should be noted that Mints only change the stats, but others like the preferred flavors, wild Pokémon encounters, and Pokémon breeds are not affected.
Love me some clodsire attention. Unfortunately, due to it being a very passive pokemon and the current gen 9 smogon OU meta being hyper offense oriented, it's just barely above the 4.52% threshold it needs to stay in OU.
Electrode not having Rapid Spin. It's a ball! It even had a toy that was a spinning top back in the day. Is it a balancing thing since it's so fast? Aerodactyl has the ability Rock Head, which protects it from recoil damage, but it can't learn the recoil moves it would get STAB on - Head Smash Also perfect candidate to learn Headlong Rush but also doesn’t learn accelerock?! An why does Aurorus Not learn Aurora Veil travesty being a rock type literally covered in gems and not being able to learn power gem is the worst. Also umbreon being the moonlight pkmn but not having moo blast makes no sense.. Onion/steeling should’ve learned coil!!! An Ho-oh revival blessing should be standard Electrivire with electromorphsis Or lightning rod
Here’s a fun example of crazy stat boosting. Venusaur at level 100 with max investment will have 284 speed. Well when that is doubled with Chlorophyll, its speed becomes 568. Which would be equivalent to having a Base Speed stat of 209
Let’s call the BST 710 Pokémon with 700 Speed and 2 in everything else “Freako” You can still invest 510 EVs in stats to make it useful Say 252 in HP to give it a fighting chance and 252 in whichever attacking stat you wish (or even split in half between them both), last 4 in whichever defense you prefer Sounds like they could be an absolutely devastating physical or special sweeper since they’ll outspeed everything, and imagine if they had like Wonder Guard? Not to mention it’s typing and at least for gen 9, it’s Tera type? The possibilities are endless
elias's lil cardinal image... peak birb right there. A+ edit: i shared it with my friends in a discord server. they say "DDLDNDLJND torpedo" and "speed" and "nYOOOM"
Having good specific stats is better than having all mediocre stats. Mons like Clodsire that have lower-end BSTs have great competitive prowess due to the way those stats are spread and their abilities.
When I say 479 in the Rillaboom section, I mean 471. Either number works for the point we’re trying to make, but the math is off in the video, woops
"Clodsire's base speed stat of 430 is really low"
Average gen 10 power creep really
whoops

Also being an adult I can say it’s wayyyy more complicated than anyone would think 😅
Ahh, yes I remember doing this on yellow with my pikachu, two pidgeots and other random Pokémon trying to defeat the elites 😂
Okay are we getting Caterpie vs Scatterbug for 25 minutes
I hope so
SHUT UP
Yes
The rhydon is easy to explain, **PokéLogic**. TPC just pulls pieces of paper out of several hats and says "Yeah that looks fiiiine".
12:31 the funniest part is that neither of those are Galarian Stunfisk's actual total, but it's instead 471
its math, probably
so true
In essence, base stats are basically reflective of stat growth. High base stats means fast growth, low base stats means slow growth.
Abilities are a huge change, too, like huge power (which doubles attack but was a massive buff on azumarill because belly drum and being fairy type) or guts, which increases attack a lot when burnt when strength usually gets cut in half
0:24 thanks that it didn’t hit a building

8:37 give it a good move pool and it would be absolutely broken
It’s like Smeargle but powercreep

I feel like this is something they should attempt to explain in game. Or maybe they already have and I just missed it
They def never explained it afik
As someone playing pokemon for the first time, there is a lot that i have to google in order to understand which isn't great
It's easy the stronger the pokemon is more you have to pay
Hence why Huge Power is so broken.
Nidoking has seen enough usage to be in OU in some months. Notably in SWSH it was in OU for a few months after the Crown tundra released.
Do not talk trash about my sweet nuzlocke baby Raticate. My man means business
I klicked on the calyrex/nidoking thumbnail but the infernape/feraligatr was my notification. What others are for this video?
The third thumbnail has Shedinja and Wishiwashi on it. In all likelihood though, the Infernape one is probably gonna be the one that stays
Elias was hit with Salt Cure...
Close Band: double damage of contact physical moves 😂
if ur bst is 0, ur stats can be 5 in all stats minimum (hp different)
Anyone else see an Infernape and Feraligatr in one thumbnail, but a Calyrex and Nidoking in another thumbnail?
Thumbnail testing was recently enabled on our channel, so we’re seeing which one works best
This is actually nice, ❤
[Insert funny joke here]
Hee hee haa haa
Woah too political my dude
(Insert Laughter Sounds Here)
Did they say... Arkoos? Oh my gosh, yes...
mandjtv is coming
Good stuff
This is not the Caterpie video 😞
Why didn’t you like Elias’s cardinal story >:(
Thanks a lot for the explanation, but I will stick to being an idiot.
12:51 Alright bet
You guys speak toooooo fast
TH-cam gives you the option to slow the video
It s so they can make more money off the short video
The games call EVs base stats
I'm going to watch this video stat
WHATAHELL IS SINISTCHA?
Infernape punch
Infernape punch
had to turn the video speed to 0.75x speed so i could actually understand whats being said and it not going at 100mph
Let’s call the BST 710 Pokémon with 700 Speed and 2 in everything else “Freako”
You can still invest 510 EVs in stats to make it useful
Say 252 in HP to give it a fighting chance and 252 in whichever attacking stat you wish (or even split in half between them both), last 4 in whichever defense you prefer
Sounds like they could be an absolutely devastating physical or special sweeper since they’ll outspeed everything, and imagine if they had like Wonder Guard? Not to mention it’s typing and at least for gen 9, it’s Tera type? The possibilities are endless
J
The only way a Clodsire would last more than 1 turn is a focus sash. Or if it had the Earth Eater ability, which it doesn't.
It's a terrible pokemon
Stop switching in clodsire on landorous.
@@aname4390 I meant against me. I will NEVER use Clodsire, Quagsire or Wooper's 2 forms, because they are terrible at everything.
@@i_l96 which tiers do you play?
@@aname4390 I go online and play. What is a tier?
@@i_l96Makes sense you dont use any
elias's lil cardinal image... peak birb right there. A+

You went way too fast. Slow it down and explain this to me like I’m 5.
Having good specific stats is better than having all mediocre stats. Mons like Clodsire that have lower-end BSTs have great competitive prowess due to the way those stats are spread and their abilities.
nah, that would not be this fun anymore. Find the formula and find the definition of EVs yourself, if you really want to be a pokemon trainer.
