DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Keldeo has to have THE strangest movepool out of any legendary. Like your really something when you're a water type and can't even learn ice beam
So much physical moves...
primamaria also didnt have adcress to it in sun n moon god that was a surpize
Ikr, mediocre special movepool
Ye but at least primarina had her dual stabs, psychic, energy ball, shadow ball That’s enough to fill a set, keldeo’s movepool is ridiculously bad
@@neyl8400 ik but it would be uber if it would have a actual huge special movepool
How good was Heatran actually: The Movie
More like how good was landorus / arceus actually
These will be like 3 hour feature length movies
Someone you forgot ferrohorn lmao
Part 1
Someone that video has probably been in development for the past 3 years
How good were the rotom forms actually
“Everyone loves you, but nobody likes you”
-Keldeo
Story of my life lol
Bojack Horseman quote
Is it not the opposite though? «Everyone loves you, but nobody likes you»
BenRoss oh crap that is how it goes, thx for the correction
@@trevorwhiteboy2649 lmao
I have never seen a mon with so many counters thrown at it like Keldeo in gen 7
Me too
Breloom says hello :D
Magearna intensifies
*recover intensifies*
Toxapex intensifies
Gen 5-6 Keldeo:
*"YOU WILL SUFFER THE PAIN OF A THOUSAND DEATHS BY MY SWORD"*
Gen 7 Keldeo:
"Origami Sword Scary"
Gen 8 Keldeo:
"Drum Monke Scary."
Insert doge pics with keldeo face
Spooky Boi pretty much
Hey, I got that first reference.
Kyurem-Black: (stomp) "Agh!"
Suffer the Thousand Years of Death!
Keldeo: "AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
Translation: "You will suffer the pain of a thousand deaths by my sword!"
*Kyurem black proceeds to step on Keldeo*
Kyurem black: ahhhhhhhh sssssss *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
Lmao is that a reference
Yes
What reference is that?
Raj T search up "legendary pokémon battle royale"
13:55 I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many focus blasts hit
Why some people think these videos are kinda misleading. Cause so many focus misses hit.
It does have an accuracy of 70. Meaning it will hit more often than not. It's just that the best attacking moves have hit rates of 90, 95 or 100 in addition to their high power.
JanusHoW Well consider this. Scald has a “30% chance to burn” and it burns my Pokemon 100% of the time. Focus Blast has 30% chance to miss so therefore it has the same chance to miss as scald has to burn and thus will miss 100% of the time. You cannot argue with such flawless logic
@@superfrubblez6123 I've never related to something more in my life. I've had my Keldeo since the first BW event, and I'm SURE doing then math that it hasn't hit more than 40% of the time.
I don't thing I've ever seen a focus blast hit
Gamefreak: so what if we give keldeo a form that has the same stats, movepool, but one large horn?
Yes
It's such a pointless alternate form, they could have just had it briefly take that form when it attacks, just like Marshadow turns green when it moves.
*Insert My Little Pony theme here*
Could've given Keldeo 25+ in Attack
At least both forms look different... (stares at Magearna and her alt form)
Half of the Uber/OU staples in Gens 1-6: (Exist)
Tapus: "Allow us to introduce ourselves"
When Keldeo fell to UU: What are YOU doing here? :D
Haha
Keldeo: I'm here to take names and kick ass.
Pfft, that’s too much, man
"You shouldn't be here
-Neither should you."
Keldeo Ttar and skarm in UU.
DUDE we're getting the band back together!
Hidden Power grass really made this Pokemon Gastrodon's Kryptonite
*B O T*
I’m convinced we watch the exact same videos at this point
I also suffer from random hidden power grasses.
Stroodle If they’re a bot then god damn, lol, had me fooled
Just Some Guy without a Mustache stop being everywhere 🙄
In a summary: How devastating was rain abuse actually
And then cancerpex came along lol.
Tapus: Ahem.
Kingdra: allow me to introduce myself
Mega swampert manapy and ash Greninja: allow us to introduce ourselves
@@rajt9996 yah when i make a rain team i going have hydragon with earth power jest for that thing
Kellen: "How GOOD was Keldeo ACTUALLY?"
Me: "I don't need sleep, I need answers."
I remember when Keldeo just dropped to UU this gen, and like Ttar everyone expect it to rule the meta, but its a pretty damm good mon, and it is far away to be considered unhealthy
This gen uu is lit
Soccer Forgranted Gen 8 UU>>>>>>>Gen 8 OU
@@linebeckthejohoe4876 any gen 8 lower tier >>>>ou
Keldeo is a fair pokemon, It's fairly fast, Hits hard and that's about it, I was sorta of afraid when it dropped down to UU but frankly it's nowhere near as obnoxious or cancerous as certain other pokemon, Namely Sylveon,Shell smash cloyster and krookodile.
@@jackwilson9468 sylv and krook where annoying i gen 7 anyways, im salty that zoro is RU BL for the 3rd fucking gen in a row, fucking hell gamefreak needs to give it a useful hidden ability(a special attacking verison of huge power maybe)
CBT: Choice Band Tyranitar
yea totally what it meant
"HP Poison"
heheheh ofc he would use tha-
Wait is he really wasting hidden po-
oh... makes sense
Hp poison op
That's something I love about the introduction of Fairy: it gave Poison an actually viable niche.
YamatoFukkatsu what we need rn is a type to nerf steel types
@@YamatoFukkatsu poisons always had a niche of being a good offensive type with little to no mons that can do the job similarly to bug types.
Now they're kinda like ice types where having the type coverage of the move is better than the type itself
@@Crinjal_2611 Actually, that's another issue: they REALLY need to differentiate Dark and Ghost better, not make them even more similar. Really disappointing that the one non-Fairy change they make to the type chart in years, and it's Steel losing its resistence to both of these types.
This thing had so many counters thrown at in the same gen that is almost unfair
Gamefreak absolutely LOVES balanced Pokémon like the UBS, toxapex and rapid lol.
GF loves Rapid Spin yet left it out of Let's Go,just to let Stealth Rock run unabated
As someone who really dislikes Keldeo, it was actually super satisfying to see him get hammered so hard.
@@MenwithHill
Why you dont like aqua poney?
@@bubblewaffle1558 It's a MLP character with a bad dragon on its face
"Keldeo didn't get to debut until Black and White 2 rolled around." Actually the GameStop event for it came out before Black and White 2's release. You could use Secret Sword in Black and White, however there was no Resolution Form
Resolute*
There he is, the "wElL, aCsShUaLlY" guy, go back to being bullied
Why are the legendary pokémon based in the 4 musketeers, native from Unova (a region based in NY) instead of being native of the region based in France?
That’s is true uhhhhh
Maybe they should’ve been released in gen 6 since kalos is based on france
Easy answer, they immigrated
So the unova legendary trios (plus keldeo) and starters take inspiration from Europe China and Japan because Unova is a mixing pot/ salad bowl. Whichever you learned in school.
Hail gamefreak
Keldeo with a 23 minute video???? Ferrethorn is about to have a 3 part documentary
Lamedorus: How about a 2 Hour long vid?
How much you wanna bet on Arceus?
@@quitted7276 I think he will do the most important ones separately and I think the longest will be the spin blocker ghost one.
Y'all sleeping in the rotom appliances
@@rajt9996 Well, only one or two are really that good. The others are kinda bad. :/
Well, with Keldeo finished, lets find out How Good were the rest of the Swords of Justices actually.
*gen5 terrakion flashbacks intensivy*
Others 2 will be short but Terrakion,oh god VGC gen 5
@@13thKingMu He also has a big story with UU in gen 6 to 8.
In my black 2 playthrough it was the opposite. Cobalion was amazing, and I kept KO'ing Terrakion so I never caught him
Fun fact: i caught a terrakion but pc boxed it because i already had cobalion and i thought it looked ugly
So how good was everyones day actually
Surprisingly good. Thanks for asking :)
Good👌🏾
it’s good, thank you for asking ^^
I have school tomorrow bad
Boring, nothing to do

Ah.....*breaths in* AHHHHH!!!
Anyone else find it weird that it took us 2 or so years to get Raticate? Makes me wonder when we’ll get Fearow
Unfortunately we'll get fearow before game freak gives fearow brave bird.
@@rajt9996 fax
@@rajt9996 and before the gen 4 remakes too.....
I pity the bird. GF really shafted it. It started off as the second best Normal/Flying Type of it's region and now it's less viable than Farfetch'd who can now evolve.
For some reason, I thought he did already, but I don't see it. I must've been thinking of dodrio.
Keldeo _did_ actually drop to UU during Gen7, but it eventually rose back to OU.
Skarmory, Genesect and now Keldeo. Damn we are making them work!
Hopefully we hear about the Lati twins next, quadruple work.
Wanna make them really work? Just request they cover Ferrothorn.
You thought it was Terrakion but it was I! *KelDEO.*
Also I peep those Bojack Horseman references 👀👀👀
>:|
Isn't it spelt Dio not Deo?
@@onehungryboy9438 I thought the JoJo reference was the joke not the Dio misspelling.
I see u on many of my fav channels
Trubbish and Garbodor Got Dio? Get Deo.
I know the original line said “BO”, but whatever.
Toxapex literally ended this man's whole career.
They have cancerpex solid defenses, ok hp, REGENERATOR, 100% scale burns and RECOVER. They also gave it knock off but they didn't give it to zarude.
And haze
it does get fucked by the sub cm keld like a lot of checks/counter. the only real mon that checks all keldeo sets is jellicent
plus the lati twins and slowbro/slowking running psyshock/psychic.
also about pex, it has to not have haze to be beat by keldeo, however taunt keldeo will beat this
Keldoe’s history. You’re shorter than I expected
Secrets sword's animation is just colourful slash oof.
Protean Greninja:Wanna see me overshadow Keldeo?
*Transforms*
Ash-Greninja: Wanna see me do it again?
At least Protean Greninja never really outshined Keldeo
God why does Ash Greninja exist in the games, it should have remained in the ash anime.
I wish that stupid frog never existed lol
Hey at least keldeo doesn't need to kill to tranforms into a better form.
Also I like both can they be friends?
But protean greninja cant transform, only battle bond greninja
"Hidden Power Poison"
I don't think I've ever heard of any Pokemon running that move in ANY FSG video.
Edit: Holy cow, why do so many people like this comment?
Me neither lol. But it's important since gamefreak made the tapus so balanced.
The Tapus were so common that it became a requirement. Bulu even had a double weakness to it.
Compare that to previous gens where Poison was a terrible offensive type, you wouldn't use it even against a 4 times weak Whimsicott since it was already frail and niche
It's like hidden power Normal.
same..never heard about it..
@@quitted7276 hidden power cannot become a normal type move :/
Def think it’s time for a “How good was False Swipe Gaming actually”
It will be longer than lando ts video.
He was so good that a whole other tier had to be made to contain him
The only real counter to him are gulpin and rhydon
In a word amazing
@@CocoLocoToco gulpin deez nuts
@@CocoLocoTocoGulpin and Rhydon? Why them?
Gen 5 is mentioned
Terakion: Hey did someone say fast fighting type
Keldeo:
Game: Def? No prob Sp.Def? No prob
Manga: "Awaken my masters"
Wat
@@APerson-ws4cw you cannot play keldeo in UU until you read the bw2 manga.
-smogon
Lool as the manga reader, its accurate
I didnt realize it was jojo reference
@@Dz73zxxx everything in the pokemon special manga is a Jojo reference (with 500% more female protagonist tho)
@@misterlinux9290
"With 500% more female protagonist."
_So its the same type of manga as Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean?_
As someone who's irl name is D'Artagnan Thank you for taking the time to pronounce it correctly. My life has been a nightmare of being called Dartigan, Darktannon, and darkoctagon
Have you been called Darmanitan?
Darkoctagon is a cool name to be fair
I know it’s a butchering of your name but, those sound badass.
@@jellomochas Yes 😐
Bro that's a dope name, you parents have good taste
One thing I've noticed in every video is just how prominently Tyranitar features in these. It seems like it can pair up with nearly every pokemon that's not a weather setter itself.
I think you could make an argument that Tyranitar is the most consistent pokemon in competitive history
And then Gen 9 happened 😢
@@loruneye7881😭😭😭
Thanks I was looking forward to today's video and you blessed us with another mythical Pokemon.
I loved the movie.
I hope to see either "How Good Was Liepard actually" or "How good was Conkeldurr" soon
It's so bizzare, I just recently got a Keldeo from a trade the other day, my 1st Keldeo. And now FSG is doing an episode on it! Interesting coincidence.
Trade me that keldeo he haven’t missed A single focus blast or a hydro pump
Got to say, I’ve been waiting for this video. And now, we finally have it! And got to say, it’s a good video! Also, just got to the near end of the video, love the gen 8 inclusion! That was really well done as well!
"A special attacker even Chansey stood no chance against."
Don't you mean... No Chansey against?😜
“Drum sound”
You catpie cedien me
I don’t understand the joke
Funny

I mean, we need to have Meloetta next to finish out the Gen 5 Mythicals
Lol wasn't expecting the Bojack Horseman joke.
What is this, a crossover episode?
@@renegade_legend2583 bruh
G7 OU viability for offense pokemon is entirely revolved around how well you deal with Toxapex... if you can deal with that you can probably deal with everything else
The weirdest words/sentences to pkmn player

-offensive chansey
-*HIDDEN POWER POISON*
-Unironically using dragon pulse
-Focus blast not missing
-Hidden Power Psychic
-Skymin/Jirachi not using Air Slash and Iron Head respectively
-Arceus-Poison
-Fire Blast hitting
-Stall Salamence
-lvl 1 endeavor + quick attack working

I guess you could say Keldeo is both the 'fourth wheel' but also the 'best wheel' - sounds super corny but it's not inaccurate

Lovely video. I'm ill at home but this is such a nice thing to watch even tho i don't do competitive. I appreciate it and I hope u do volcanion someday although idk if u do gen 6
Neat video! Thanks for uploading!
I really really love how detailed this analysis of Keldeo was. Getting into BW slowly so this analysis was great
I really wish you gave BKC a shoutout in the actual video. Such an underrated poketuber
Gyardos: I am the main water sweeper
Keldeo: hold my beer
Last week - Genesect
This week - Keldeo
Next week - Meloetta
Well maybe not next week because it has another form.
It could well be because nobody uses the other form when using Meloetta.
Meloetta's other form is way to niche to get any significant coverage. It may get more than two sencentes compared to Darmanitan's Trance Mode
@@3.2187_Kilometres I keep forgetting Meloetta even has another form, LOL. Good thing they then gave the Normal-Fighting type to the superior Mega Lopunny and Bewear.
Meloetta's other form was used in Gen V meta much like surprise factor, like "oh, you got a Pursuit Trapper Tyranitar? May I use Relic Song and change to Fighting form? Ok, bye". This trait was lost on Gen VI and since then Meloetta has been a mid-tier mon
Has Victini already been done?
I want to see a Carnivine video that’s 4 minutes long.
You mean that's 24 minutes long
Yeah, another Untiered Pokemon
You know things are bad when you're outclassed by Leafeon.
It’ll be more like around the 7-8 minute mark
it sucked *Video Ends*
That's Sad because I really like Carnivine
16:59
Choice banded grassy terrain wood hammer from Bulu absolutely murders Keldeo, easily OHKOing through a burn. So even if it's burned it still destroys it if banded
Lol actually so does horn leech, Bulu is a beast.
sad that bulu didnt get a physical faory move
Keldeo in gen 5 ou & Mega Camerupt in gen 6 nu are practically the same, huh
So, overwhelming in gens 5&6, but met it's match in gens 7&8 thanks to power creep
roninwarriorsfan Wouldn’t really say powercreep, just a lot of checks, and counters being introduced into OU, and those checks, and counters being really common.
@@Godslayer5656 Yeah, gen 8 is a bit of a reverse power creep *for the most part
@@ron4tron You can just say power drain, it's a term.
That bojack reference at the end killed me lmaoooo
I LOVE IT when you throw in a BoJack reference. Thanks.
Well, I guess the next month is going to be the Swords of Justice. Lol
Lol
Lol
Back in the 90’s it was in a very famous TV show.
It’s Kael-Dio, it’s Kel-Dio, don’t you know,
It is trying to hold on to its past.
Powercrep’s hard. It does t know how long it lasts.
It is hoping to make you understand. That is more sword than a horse.
Now my throat is hoarse
Here's just me with my weekly Farfetch'd request.
Finally i was waiting for months
I love the Horseman References ;D
The Keldeo Movie is an underrated gem, definitely in the top 10 best Pokémon Movies but it doesn’t crack the top 5.

Good one BKC !! Thank you :)
Thanks for the birthday gift,Kellen!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SWORD POKEMON! Keldeo has been one of my top favorite Pokemon ever since first getting one! I've done everything to ensure I always have my Keldeo in every game and always glad to get another when available. Glad to have a team that has both Keldeo and Zacian together! Two sword pokemon that are both fast and power that cover most of each other's weaknesses!
It's too bad Keldeo never made real use of Air Slash, a new move it gained in Generation 8. Water and Flying together is a hugely underrated offensive pair if you ask me. It's basically the classic Water and Ice combo without the obvious flaw of Water resisting both.
I'm still waiting for a good Water/Flying type with an Electric blocking ability.
Gay unicorn getting rekt by legendary ice chicken is my favourite scene in pokemon
Liked the video as soon as I heard the first Bojack reference!
Like with Genesect, I never got Black 2/White 2, to see what Keldeo was all about.
But may as well keep this going with seeing how good the other Swords Of Justices were in the future.
Imagine if they gave this thing a psychic attack
Jeez, a Keldeo video before any of the Swords of Justice...
...I'M SOLD
Can we soon have a video on Skuntank, please? I don't expect it to be very good, honestly, but I've found them to make reliable members of a team.
Never clicked on an uploaded video so quickly in my life 😅
Great upload
I was so afraid of Keldeo dropping down to UU this gen but thankfully he is actually very fair in the current state of UU, A little overwhelming at times but with careful prediction and the right pokemon it's easy enough to manage, Not to mention it's a fair pokemon, If anything the real pain in the ass in the tier would be crap along the lines of shell smash Cloyster.
14:12 watching focus blast hit this many times in a row feels like a dream
I would like to see Heatran next! Mainly for how its sets changed over the course of the metas.
Every time you make a Bojack Horseman reference, an angel gets its wings
Pretty good, I know this thanks to every other video
Nice, more Gen 5 mons please. Thanks.
How good was Amonguss actually: an inevitable being lurking in the shadows.
Gens 5 & 6: Amazing
Gen 7: Toxapex and Tapu Fini made it fall to UU
Gen 8: Toxapex made it fall to UU
Let’s gooo MyLittlePony
XD
My all time favourite at last
I think it would be cool to include mock ups of the various sets in Pokemon Showdown, they have a nice visual representation of the mon as a whole, and stuff almost never shown here like stats including ev + nature changes
Keldeo in gens 5-6. Ha! I have very few counters, and the ones that I have can easily be dealt with! No one can stop me!
The Tapus, Magearna, Toxapex, and Ash-Greninja: allow us to introduce ourselves
Yep as expected: half the video itself is just Gen5 keldeo, the bane of my sand teams in that generation
Keldeo; *Drops to UU*
Everyone in UU; *Chuckles* I'm in danger
Keldeo drops to UU: "That's no good man!"
Every other pokemon in UU: "The view from halfway down"
I wish Keldeo wasn't mythical so I could use him in VGC
We should *justify* to gamefreak so that they can make it a legendary.
@@rajt9996 not gonna happen, lol even phone is banned from VGC?, what it is too powerful for VGC? :v
@@yourdailysadisticfolkfromi6619 is obviously not gonna happen lol. Mythicals are banned from vgc because how rare they are and some people might use illegal shinies which can put you to jail in Japan.
We neded Keldeo 2014-15 against mega kang and CHALK D:
@@shenhue7041 ikr
I remember a Broney TH-cam channel that was role playing as Keldeo. It was...interesting to say the least.
And disturbing
Ew Broneys.
I have seen people roleplay as a Child Murderer and talk about kittens and puppies
I got so confused when i first saw Keldeo status in black & white. I thought he was a physical attacker at first
I'm looking foward to Bisharp's episode
Last week: Genesect
This week (Patreon pick): Keldeo
So how about Meloetta for next week? 🤔
YES PLEASE! Meloetta is my favorite Mythical Pokemon of all time! It's also my 2nd favorite Pokemon right behind Hawlucha.
i will get it one day,
How GOOD was LINOOOOOOONE ACTUALLY?
Actually spat my coffee out at the BoJack joke. Well played sir
Man Keldeo took a drop off after Gen 6, surprised it didn't get Ice Beam and High Horsepower
Yeah. Almost every Water type gets Ice Beam
