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.

Imagine having 145 special attack in UU and getting banned for a defensive set.
I know.🤣🤣🤣
Yea
Yep lol
That’s competitive for ya
Guess what happened to spectrier.
Chandelure: Cool I have Shadow Tag!
Gamefreak: Well yes, but actually no.
*1 Gen later*
Gamefreak: Well no.
Mega Gengar: Don't worry i'll take it
Chandlured us into think it would be more broken than we thought
Flashback to gen 3:
Game Freak: blue pokemon are broken
Wobbafett/Wynaut: ... were...fine
3 gens later: were still... fine
Happend to Scolipede as well, Its gen 5 HA is Quick Feet which made Scolipede NUBL (banned in NU atleast), then in gen 6 it's HA was replaced by Speed Boost (the same HA that made Blaziken broken), Scolipede is now in UUBL, great but unfortunately still stuck in a state of Limbo being one of the worst OU mons but like Staraptor and the others, Destroyed UU.
Quick feet was freaking useless on scolipede. XD

Fairies
poison
I remember destroying a Xerneas with my Dragalge in a WiFi battle on X...that feeling was great :v
Still I love the Fairies... Boosted finally Poison and weakend the Dragon type.
@@Acacius1992 I also loved the fairies as it meant my gunk shot hit more Pokémons super effectively.
Chandelure is the coolest pokémon based on an object.

It’s because chandelure is a ghost

Only people from 2 days ago remember when this was called “How good was”
Damn, its already been 2 minutes? The wave of nostalgia is coming
Yeah I saw the name and got so confused lol
i saw that lol
Only 2 minutes ago kids will remember "How good was". Unfortunately I'm not one of them.
Scooby Doo I took a screenshot of it so there’s proof that it happened
I like how the title is just "How GOOD was" and then ends - I guess the title is a ghost type too??
Serious answer: You can set a default title for videos when you upload them. So probably "How GOOD was" is the default title for videos and something on TH-cam's end didn't get the memo that it was updated because data bases and trying to get them to all sync up is hard.
TheGuyWhoIsSitting or it was so the title didn’t spoil the Pokémon when subs were notified.
missed opportunity to end your sentence with "ghost type typo too??" :_(
*Pokemon Shield Dex Entry:* In homes illuminated by Chandelure instead of lights, funerals were a constant occurrence- or so it's said.
Not to mention Litwick's flame burns brighter the younger the soul it consumes, and Lampent just follows you around silently if it knows you're going to die so it can steal your soul when you do....Ahhh ghost types. So charming.....From a certain point of view.
You really can't get much creepier than Drifloon which disguises itself as a balloon in order to spirit unsuspecting children away to the afterlife.
@@JCBro-yg8vd nah dude Gengar's is pretty terrifying cause the pokedex literally tells you to GIVE UP if you come across one at night like....damn. Aight then

obamasnow is a good poke
Ok, why are you everywhere? Can you actually write me a list of all your hobbies and interests, just to make sure you're not my long lost identical twin?
@Pedro 1000 pretty much everytime abomasnow turns up
I've been saying Obamasnow my whole life. Can't be the only one.
He also says Abomaslow when talking about it being used in Trick Room
Yay, Gen 8 coverage! Also, poor Chandelure got robbed of Shadow Tag... it had the potential to be one of the strongest Pokémon out there. If it could make a crap Pokémon like Gothitelle OU, then it would’ve been an Uber-killer...

look how they nerfed my poor baby
@@balefire384 it would've been banned anyway, so at least it got a different , useful ability.

@adam3560 adam3560 are u joking or just an idiot?
Could I like this comment anymore
:(
The comment section in a nutshell:
"Come on Bart, say the line!"
"How Good was"
**Laughter**
"In Jeremy's own words, he chose Chandelure because he searched which Pokemon had the highest SPATK stat."
Lol sounds about right.
"How GOOD was"
Very specific title.
OP Ground Zero 2.0 everyone never asks how GOOD was
We'll never forget
@@GoTELuckyCharms never forget that was good
Well how is GOOD doing?
I mean, it'd be interesting to know how GOOD did
This is going to be a great one. One of my best showdown memories was when my poisoned milotic kept walling the choice specs chandelure and it was great
person person lmao 😂 that was a bad typo on my part
I remember when I defeated my brother entire team with just Chandelure, he only had pokémon with Normal, fighting and fire attacks. He couldn't even hit my Chandelure
Now that's just nasty
That's hilarious
Your brother is either an idiot, or a tryhard. Or both.
Blud was running a gym leader set.
Love how every episode of this series is basically just “How ____ Got Worse Every Generation Unless it Got a Mega.”
Justin Pruett And then there's Pelliper
Love how you mentioned it on one of the few episodes where the Pokemon ended up in BETTER tiers in later generations with nearly no changes to it. Chandelure is always good, it's just whether or not the meta lets it shine.
This series should end with a how good was gamefreak at overpowering things to ridiculous levels

@@EdmacZ Chandelure in Gen 8: Hi, Everybody!
Blacephalon, with an expansion pass: Clears throat
Chandelure: Cries as it gets launched into RU
I always pick my team memebers based on their appearance and concept rather than strength, so you bet 10-year-old me was shocked when the Chandelure they picked up just because they liked a soul-stealing piece of furniture as a concept ended up sweeping everything in its way.
Chandelure is my favorite Fire-Type, no contest.
Gen 5 sprites and battle animations look so cool.
FalseSwipeGaming has set his default upload title as "How Good WAS" apparently.
Blacephalon: I am the superior Fire Ghost! You will fear me!
Chandelure: There is nothing to fear.
How?
Loved the Friends Joke. Made me laugh
Was that a voice actor joke, or some kind of name correlation joke?
@@Jacob-rf7ci No in the show one of the Characters was call Chandler which is close sounding to Chandelure.
FSG: *Finally starts including gen 8 competitive*
What everyone else notices: haha funny title messup
Unfortunate
He started before with dusclops.
"unfortunatly"
Now I wish you did a "How good was Chandler ACTUALLY?!" joke video for April fools.
Could it BE any better of a joke?
I remember breeding a shiny one in X a couple years ago, I called her Scarlet and now she resides in UltraSun ^^
Better use Pokemon Home's premium plan lol
@@Akyure Premium plan? O_o
12$ a year
Its the only way to transfer from 3ds to switch now a days.
@@sleprvrru6y-lin-92 yikes. Luckily I didn't bought SwSh
Pokemon becoming pay to win very slowly lol
The expansion packs cost half of the game's price.
If u can, i recommend getting either game, the story is actually nice, although the pokemon are limited , dynamax makes meta fun sometimes (not counting the broken flying types) also its the easiest competitive gen
That's about all the good tbh.
I dont recommend to shiny hunt in sword and shield.
Odd how you didn’t mention how Blacephalon completely erased any chance of Chandelure making it to OU in Gen 7.
mushroomdude123 blacephalon??? Who the heck
Oooooh that thing
Yeah. Granted, Chandelure is still pretty good. Blacephalon might be better. But Chanderure still shows around it's Ubers and still was good in UU.
Everyone: "How good was."
Me: "How good Shadow Tag Chandelure would've been if it was a thing?"
If you’re looking for an answer it’s near the start of the video. Basically a flawless revenge killer, if your opponent kills any mon you have, that killer is dead because they can’t switch out, making any steel type bar Heatran unusable. Even ghost types that can escape must be scared of having their teammates take a nuclear Fire Blast/Shadow Ball or even worse, Overheat, to the face. Overall, just broken, as you literally can’t counter it when it enters the field.
Just play balanced Hackmons :v
Shadow Tag would’ve been quick banned super early and chandelure will probably just have the same history as in the video
Takanashi top top top tier Uber, or created AG before mega Ray
@@honestshao6160 Slow Down there

Here before the title was complete
Chandelure with Shadow Tag would have been absolutely ridiculous, I am actually glad they changed it. It is still one of best and coolest looking ghost type Pokémon ever made.
It would be banned in singles anyways so it will be a monster in only doubles and that too vgc
let it be an uber killer, shadow tag is banned in ou.

I always messed with my friends pairing Chandelure with Zoroark. If Zoro was imitating Chande, it bluffed being immune to fighting and drew in dark attacks that it resists. It could keep up the facade with Flamethrower, too...
i'm gonna try that out, thx.
It also gets Dark Pulse, so you could totally bluff it lmfao
Rest in peace Matthew Perry
Business Chandelure in the front, party Abomasnow in the back.
One of the coolest shinies and designs imo.
Chandelure may not always be ou, but he's always uber in my heart..
I remember using Wonder trade at the beginning of Pokemon White, and for a Patrat got a LV.52 Chandelure, confused, but gushed over it's design, been a fan favorite ever since.
I remember when I defeated my brother entire team with just Chandelure, he only had pokémon with Normal, fighting and fire attacks. He couldn't even hit my Chandelure

@@3.2187_Kilometres Lmao you predicted the future my dude. The Ferrothorn vid is literally an 1 hour long.
here when the title is "How Good was"
Quite shocked to see the lack of mention of its current strong performance in Gen 8 VGC where it's back to bopping Trick Room like in its glory days.
Great video! Glad to see this is the first video to legitimately cover Gen 8, it's a great start for that! Fingers crossed for Excadrill!
I have a lot of fond memories of Chandelure. I used Ferrothorn + Chandelure + Weavile on my first truly successful PWT team. Using Ferrothorn + Chandelure in particular was the first time I realize how much potential strategy was involved in switching and prediction. Pretty basic stuff, I know, but it was a really eye opening experience. I felt so smart the first time I baited a fire move with Ferrothorn into an easy switch to Chandelure with Flash Fire.

This the best day!! Thank you ☺️
Chandelure also has the distinction of being the only Generation 5 Pokémon playable in Pokken tournament which is dumb considering how many Pokémon were added in gen 5 would make you think it would get more representation.
#GarbodorForPokkén
Chandelure is my favorite pokemon of all time so seeing how good it was in gen 5 makes me like this pokemon even more, and i don't even play pokemon competitively.
God I remeber having one in my playthrough as kid, one of my strongest in my team
You can imagine my surprise at seeing a 29 min video for this unsuspecting guy. I always thought he had potential, but I had no idea he was such a doubles monster!

Substitute baton pass is a deadly strategy. Umbreon as your wall/wish passer and i ran charm to lower opponents attacks was a key to my strategy for me to set up ingrain with smeargle
Defensive Chandelure was the original Spectrier...
I never would have thought that a Pokemon modelled after a freaking lamp would be my favorite Fire and Ghost type Pokemon. Shiny Chandelure is arguably one of the best looking shinys as well.
Why Was The Intro So Quiet?
That Aside Though, I Am Very Happy That One Of My Fav Pokemon Of All Time Is Getting It's Own Video!
Aw yeah, one of my favorite Pokémon! It’s real fun to play with in Pokkén Tournament as well
Got here so quickly, False Swipe didnt have time to finish the title
I want to see shadow tag chandelure. actually amazing
My favorite pokemon of all time, glad my friend had quite the journey in competitive.
I actually used Flash Fire and Ally Switch on Chandelure during Gen 7 VGC; it made for some really fun mindgame tricks, especially when paired with Scizor. Plus, Z-Ally Switch boosted Chandelure’s speed, allowing it to sweep with Heat Wave and Shadow Ball.
