Luvdisc has more utility (in icy wind and charm) and due to its higher speed(especially with a 97 speed under rain with swift swim)it could set it up more reliable than castform which has just attacking moves from bad offenses, castform does get tailwind but usually ur not benefiting that much as castform usually goes after his partner (due to its terrible speed of 70) meaning ur not gonna benefit in that turn from the tailwind effects due to the gen 8 dynamic speed change. As for Unown vs Ledian, yeah I agree unown should take the spot.
You left Skill Swap off the list of support moves that Spinda can use, and with its amazing ability of Contrary, it can pull off some really funny stuff in doubles. Send it out alongside Arcanine, whose Intimidate lowers the foes' Attack by one stage, then Skill Swap with it to give it Contrary and take Intimidate on Spinda, which activates it again. Then have Arcanine start spamming Close Combat and Overheat. And if Spinda somehow survives long enough, you can rob an opponent of their own strong ability and replace it with Intimidate...which thanks to Contrary now _raises_ Arcanine's attack! "Spindaswap" is a hilarious way to turn another of your Pokémon into a sweeper.

Aaaah, my beloved gen 1. A generation where: There's only a single Dragon type evolution line, home to that gen's pseudo-legendary, Dragonite, with the existence of a single dragon type move, dragon rage, which has... Fixed damage, so no dragon stab; A place where bug types are so laughable that Psychic types have basically no weaknesses and can swipe the entire game (you get Abra early on) because... "Special" is a single stat for both SpAtk and SpDef, so special attackers get an enormous bulk in SpDef stat too; Focus Energy actually lowers your crit chance; Crit chance is calculated via speed difference, so a fast Pokémon will be a crit machine; Guaranteed hits can fail 1/256 of the times; And being paralyzed was actually a meta strat. Truly, one of the generations of all time. Today I just finished the pokedex for the first time via the mew exploit.
Moxie: I feel like I'm missing something... Fan: If you forgot then it wasn't important. Moxie: I guess you're right. Grapploct watching everybody else be ranked:
So I've had a castform rework brewing since basically gen 5: 1) add sandstorm form and give each weather form a modified stat spread (keep the 420 BST, but raise and lower to match the type). 2) give them a hidden ability called "Weather Report" where it automatically sets the weather based on its held weather stone. Basically remove the need to waste a turn activating its gimmick and let it jump straight into the game, like how Imposter fixed Ditto's major flaw. Let my guy go crazy!
lol i'd say go with Weather Report + a 30% buff to non-Atk stats in weather - leaving 252+ Castform a single point faster than stuff like Munkidori, lets it hit quite hard in Sun/Rain and allows it to be super bulky in Snow/Sand
Weather report like you said, but it sets the weather until weather change (exactlt how weather-setting abilities used to work), but keep its base stats garbage. This would give Castform a special lollipop dance, without making it an otherwise good Pokemon.
If gamefreak were to do this, they'd probably make this new ability a sidegrade, or at least not a direct upgrade to forecast. Maybe this version prevents castform from using weather variants not tied to their funny rock, regardless of how much the weather changes + ability does literally nothing if another item is used, so it's a token sidegrade but effective upgrade

During one of the earlier VGC regulations of SV, I used a team that starred Spidops and Hatterene. Turn 1, Spidops would protect while Hat would use trick room. Turn Turn 2, Hat would use skill swap and give the opposing Pokemon magic bounce, then Spidops would use sticky web to put the web on its own side.Turns 3 and up, Kingambit & Wigglytuff cleaned up hard. The funny thing about this team is that Spidops was actually the best sticky webber for the job. It was the only bug that was slower than Hatterene in trick room with access to sticky webs, and insomnia made it a perfect anti-lead for Amoonguss.
Kinda surprised Unown didn't win the gen 2 slot. That guy was made terrible and has no sort of interesting quirk to make it viable. It was just thrown in as a weird gimmick with no real viability for anything.
Unown's only move is hidden power. Guess what move hasn't been programmed into the game since gen 8. You gotta cut Unown some slack, he can't be the worst pokemon if he literally doesn't exist.
Unown's barely a Pokemon, and shouldn't really be judged by this criteria. they're just little letter guys, they're not really supposed to fight! also the purpose of Unown is to randomly come in clutch in a HGSS Nuzlucke, as we all know.

8:12 for Castform they could add a changing stat spread depending on weather form. An Atk, a SpAtk, a Def and a SpDef form - whilst adding a sand form to get 4 total. For each form the opposite stats get halved and added on the corresponding stat + either hp or speed
“Truly skilled trainers can bring out the full potential in any Pokémon. Doesn’t mean Parasect is suddenly good, but at least you’re using it effectively now.” -What Karen probably meant (Also yes that is a personal example lol. Parasect is my favorite Kanto mon) Also, man, Spidops is such an unfortunate case. If it had the same bst as Lokix it could at least be respectable. 46 more points could do wonders for it. Pure Bug is a surprisingly decent defensive type as well; 3 weaknesses and 3 resistances sounds pretty meh, but being able to resist Fighting and Ground is a pretty big deal considering Urshifu and Lando.
@j.b.5422 competitive was barely a thing back then, I think you're the one that's delusional because you're applying a sentiment that didn't even exist
The wild thing is, the fix for swanna would've just been giving it drizzle instead of peliper, which imo makes more sense anyway since swans have the association with dancing and the main way to get rain is rain dance.
5:14 Ledian holds such a special place in my heart for being an early game Pokémon in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. I will forever love them (even if they're supremely weak)
Next video "best glow up" where older mons get a different type or evolution ability etc that made them amazing Like marill going from bad to ok with huge power to amazing with the fairy type
personally a totally not serius buff, one that gamefreak could do just to troll, would be to give a signature ability to ledian that makes all punching moves hit 4 times. Yes, this would mean power up punch would give a +4 with each hit increasing in power. Ice punch gives you 4 10% chances to freeze in a row, etc
I would love this but MF's at GameFreak have no self control. You just know that 2 generations later they'd give that ability to something with normal stats and then we'll regret it.
Yeah I always knew that Gen 3 had a lot of hoenn pokemon were the epitome "jack of all trades, master of none" . If Sharpedo was introduced in Gen 4, it could have been a decent glass cannon but it unfortunately was in the pre physical special split era.
For many years I've had a weird feeling that gen 3 was when they first started talking about changing the physical special split, but something hindered them from doing so. It feels like making everything a mixed attacker was a compromise more so than the original intention
As my favourite Gen 9 Pokémon I have to say that hurts so much. You’re telling me that annihilape is worse than veluza? In doubles? (Edit) I haven’t seen the whole video yet so if it doesn’t actually happen then I guess I got got.
Sunflora is busted in random battle, because it’s always level 100, and gets choice spec leaf storm off of a pretty good special attack. The only thing in randoms that can live is resists
No, the worst is definitely metapod. It's actually way worse than Caterpie, as it's not living a hit anyway, so defenses don't matter, same with health. And Caterpie is both faster and stronger, irrc. Weedle is best of those four (Caterpie, metapod, kakuna, Weedle) as it hits hardest.
@@greenkitty1 Starting to think his list is honestly pretty bad. There's arguably a worse Pokemon in almost every generation over the ones he declared. I'd argue Magikarp, Metapod and Kakuna are ALL worse than Beedrill from Gen 1.

Moxie, you’ll be pleased to know that in Pokemon Conquest, Carnivine not only floats, but acts exactly like a flying Pokémon in its movement style, too
I don't understand why people insist on their Pokémon having to be viable to use them or like them, like if you enjoy them you can use them in a normal playthrough too lol nothing's stopping you
Surprised you didnt mention Unown for Gen 2, that thing has been complete unusable garbage that can only learn one single move and thus only have the same basic gimmick every time for every single generation that thing has been in
I see where you're coming from and honestly, probably like him, I forgot the thing even existed. When you see it though, you know it's bad, it's the gimmick to beat all gimmicks, it's barely even a pokemon, having closer ties to alphabet soup. Ledian had potential, I mean, look at that hidden ability! Iron Fists is a great ability, and it sucks despite that.

I remember hearing back then that the ledian 110 spdef was meant to be its attack stat. But though some process they messed it up. Imo it doesn’t need an evolution. It needs a complete regional form + evolution to it.
my fondest memory of Sunflora is OHKOing a Primal Groudon under Trick Room who switched into me. It set up sun and with Life Orb on Sunflora it blasted that PDon into next week with Earth Power.
Ledian is a supporter that was redesigned to look as meelee fighter. They should allow Ledian to have more HP (+20) , as its quite big and that would help to do what he was created for - being a special def wall.
The best thing about Clefairy is that it can use Follow me and Minimise at the same time, so the enemy is almost guaranteed to hit nobody. Even if it does there's a Cute charm, that makes the enemy flinch even more.
Oh, you can totally win with your favorite. But the worse your favorite happens to be, the more insane and elite it's teammates need to be to make up for it.

1:19 I feel like this part gets it a little wrong? I've seen people clear champions with Magikarp and a Ledian, so in that respect i do think anything is possible when you're a good trainer who's good at strategizing. I dunno
Every Pokemon on this list, even ones considered for placement like Carnivine, deserve either a bag of tools (including abilities), an evolution, or raw stats. Case-by-case depending on the mon, evolution partly depending on if the mon in question could get enough value itself just by having access to eviolite.
Beedrill is top tier design-wise. It's a classic Pokémon and it's just a little sad that by giving it a Mega-Evolution, they squandered their potential
In Gen 1 he existed to bully slow psychic types (slowbro and exeggutor) but notice how I said bully, not counter. You still had to get pretty lucky with your crits and confuse stat to do anything.
I love Ledyba and Ledian, and would love for it to get an evolution and not just a mega. It has some pretty rad potential to evolve into something cool
Farfetch'd stan here. Acsess to STAB cut and fly, boosted xp gain, and in gen 6 has false swipe and thief for in game utility. And it gets swords dance and agility with STAB acrobatics and return actually makes it a really useful pokemon for a playthrough and suprisingly solid
I don't understand why beedrill is lower than farfetched and especially onix. Have they had niches that weren't temporary because if not I think the sole existence of mega bee drill, even if it wasn't used in doubles, would make it more notable than the bird with a leak or a rock snake with unjustifiably low states
Onix is NFE and can at least (potentially) get some mileage out of the eviolite. Farfetch’d has better typing, and the leek item plus either focus energy or a high crit rate move means Farfetch’d can always get a crit in Gen 6 and later
Forget Onix and Farfetch'd. He put Beedrill lower than Metapod and Magikarp, lmfao. And if we're going by NFE (which I don't recall him specifying), he put Ledian below Unown, lmfao.
Lediyan has such a cool design too but it's so bad it doesn't even fall into the butterfree/beedrill spot of being about as strong as a mid-tier evolution but available sooner.
Beedrill after mega evolving:
"You were magnificent, Spidops. I shall never forget you for as long as I live."

Send it out alongside Arcanine, whose Intimidate lowers the foes' Attack by one stage, then Skill Swap with it to give it Contrary and take Intimidate on Spinda, which activates it again. Then have Arcanine start spamming Close Combat and Overheat. And if Spinda somehow survives long enough, you can rob an opponent of their own strong ability and replace it with Intimidate...which thanks to Contrary now _raises_ Arcanine's attack!

Luvdisc does one thing- Parafusattract. if it works, it works. if it doesn't, it dies.

Aaaah, my beloved gen 1.
A generation where:
There's only a single Dragon type evolution line, home to that gen's pseudo-legendary, Dragonite, with the existence of a single dragon type move, dragon rage, which has... Fixed damage, so no dragon stab;
A place where bug types are so laughable that Psychic types have basically no weaknesses and can swipe the entire game (you get Abra early on) because...
"Special" is a single stat for both SpAtk and SpDef, so special attackers get an enormous bulk in SpDef stat too;
Focus Energy actually lowers your crit chance;
Crit chance is calculated via speed difference, so a fast Pokémon will be a crit machine;
Guaranteed hits can fail 1/256 of the times;
And being paralyzed was actually a meta strat.
Truly, one of the generations of all time. Today I just finished the pokedex for the first time via the mew exploit.

Dude, I had no idea ledian was S tier. I'm gonna have to rethink all of my teams.This man is a genius
So I've had a castform rework brewing since basically gen 5:
1) add sandstorm form and give each weather form a modified stat spread (keep the 420 BST, but raise and lower to match the type).
2) give them a hidden ability called "Weather Report" where it automatically sets the weather based on its held weather stone. Basically remove the need to waste a turn activating its gimmick and let it jump straight into the game, like how Imposter fixed Ditto's major flaw.
Let my guy go crazy!
lol i'd say go with Weather Report + a 30% buff to non-Atk stats in weather - leaving 252+ Castform a single point faster than stuff like Munkidori, lets it hit quite hard in Sun/Rain and allows it to be super bulky in Snow/Sand
Weather report like you said, but it sets the weather until weather change (exactlt how weather-setting abilities used to work), but keep its base stats garbage. This would give Castform a special lollipop dance, without making it an otherwise good Pokemon.
If gamefreak were to do this, they'd probably make this new ability a sidegrade, or at least not a direct upgrade to forecast. Maybe this version prevents castform from using weather variants not tied to their funny rock, regardless of how much the weather changes + ability does literally nothing if another item is used, so it's a token sidegrade but effective upgrade
I like weather report
Weather report should turn other team to snail.

During one of the earlier VGC regulations of SV, I used a team that starred Spidops and Hatterene.
Turn 1, Spidops would protect while Hat would use trick room. Turn Turn 2, Hat would use skill swap and give the opposing Pokemon magic bounce, then Spidops would use sticky web to put the web on its own side.Turns 3 and up, Kingambit & Wigglytuff cleaned up hard.
The funny thing about this team is that Spidops was actually the best sticky webber for the job. It was the only bug that was slower than Hatterene in trick room with access to sticky webs, and insomnia made it a perfect anti-lead for Amoonguss.

Unown's barely a Pokemon, and shouldn't really be judged by this criteria. they're just little letter guys, they're not really supposed to fight! also the purpose of Unown is to randomly come in clutch in a HGSS Nuzlucke, as we all know.

8:12 for Castform they could add a changing stat spread depending on weather form.
An Atk, a SpAtk, a Def and a SpDef form - whilst adding a sand form to get 4 total. For each form the opposite stats get halved and added on the corresponding stat + either hp or speed
What! I never knew Ledian was such a strong pokemon with such a solid niche!
Also, fitting how 44% of the lists is just bug type.
“Truly skilled trainers can bring out the full potential in any Pokémon. Doesn’t mean Parasect is suddenly good, but at least you’re using it effectively now.”
-What Karen probably meant
(Also yes that is a personal example lol. Parasect is my favorite Kanto mon)
Also, man, Spidops is such an unfortunate case. If it had the same bst as Lokix it could at least be respectable. 46 more points could do wonders for it. Pure Bug is a surprisingly decent defensive type as well; 3 weaknesses and 3 resistances sounds pretty meh, but being able to resist Fighting and Ground is a pretty big deal considering Urshifu and Lando.

That's an interesting theory with gen 3's mixed attacker trend. I've never heard that before
Shiftry, cacturne, sharpedo, seviper, camerupt, salamence, even altaria were mixed
A GAME THEORY
Yeah I always knew that Gen 3 had a lot of hoenn pokemon were the epitome "jack of all trades, master of none" . If Sharpedo was introduced in Gen 4, it could have been a decent glass cannon but it unfortunately was in the pre physical special split era.
For many years I've had a weird feeling that gen 3 was when they first started talking about changing the physical special split, but something hindered them from doing so. It feels like making everything a mixed attacker was a compromise more so than the original intention
I kind of wish Natures did nothing online, so mixed attackers were more viable.

Ledian is a supporter that was redesigned to look as meelee fighter. They should allow Ledian to have more HP (+20) , as its quite big and that would help to do what he was created for - being a special def wall.

Onix is NFE and can at least (potentially) get some mileage out of the eviolite. Farfetch’d has better typing, and the leek item plus either focus energy or a high crit rate move means Farfetch’d can always get a crit in Gen 6 and later
