    Feel like normal really should have been protect, it’s just unbelievably versatile. Even in singles it’s a great scouting move or a great stall move to recover with left overs or build up toxic damage. Even outside of VGC, protect and its clones are beyond useful.

    Fun video. I had fun guessing the move beforehand and predicted and agree with virtually all of these takes, except a minor few:
    Fire: Id argue that Flare Blitz's 120BP makes it more useful more of the time than flamethrower despite the recoil. Its also seen alot more often on teams, which i think reflects this. The difference between 90BP and 120BP may not seem huge, but when running calcs the number of things 120BP can OHKO while 90BP has to 2HKO makes it a non-trivial differential.
    Electric: I'd still argue that volt switch is by far the best electric type move. So much so that ive seen electric mons run volt switch that never touch twave or tbolt at all, but only much more rarely do i see a mon who has access to volt switch forego that move in favor of tbolt or twave.
    Ground: EQ is so bad in doubles its essentially never ran at all, with either High Horsepower or Stomping Tantrum being used exclusively despite their seeming flaws-which says alot about how bad EQ is in doubles. I'm not sure that these are necessarily "better" ground type moves, but it certainly does complicate the question so I thought it was worth bringing up.

U want to do something when your sleeping then use sleep talk and also what about yawn? Is that just tossed out because yawn adds the drowsy status and that causes them to fall asleep next turn unless they switch out. That is far better of a drowsy condition. It’s far too complicated and is just honestly dumb to add. It’s even more frustrating to deal with this drowsy condition then it is how sleep is in the regular games. Like way more frustrating.
      With freeze that’s definitely an improvement but really anything is better then how freeze is. I know they had frostbite as a condition in Arceus which is the special burn and that is so much better and balances the game a lot (like y is their only 1 for physical attackers that’s dumb). Honestly they should just toss out freeze and replace it with frostbite.

    I gotta say I was expecting Expanding Force for psychic. Every single psychic type gets it, you can tera psychic to make Flying types land and benefit from the Terrain buff, (not levitators tho) and 120 power to both foes (+30% from terrain and then -30% for being a spread move) is just insane. The only drawback is needing to run Indeedee or Tapu Lele, both of whom have really strong options on their own. You mention Trick Room being entirely it's own archetype which is fair, but Expanding Force isn't too different

As a doubles player definitely earth power. But EQ makes more sense from a singles perspective. Its so interesting how similar, yet different singles and doubles is. For bug, id say its QD regardless of the format. But u-turn is definitely debatable. For normal, I'd say protect for sure. Everytime else I agreed with 100%. Another amazing video.

    Ignoring status/boosting moves for normal because there's so many (and because type mostly doesn't matter for a move like swords dance), I feel like Boomburst deserves a shoutout. It's one of the strongest moves in the game without a drawback (at least in singles), it has decent PP too (10 instead of 5), it's special which, all else equal, is usually a little better than being physical because of intimidate, and it hits both opponents in doubles. Even hitting neutrally it's as strong as some SE coverage moves that see use.

    @darkwarrior03352 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I often use Shadow Ball at first but I always switch it to Hex as soon as I can, this is because my strategy usually falls around using some other move that has a chance to inflict a status condition, and just keep using that move until it inflicts it's status condition, and then I use Hex and almost nothing survives. This is especially good with the Gengar line, as they learn Hypnosis naturally, a move that has a 100% chance to inflict Sleep if it hits. Shadow Ball is cool early-game, but late-game, I always have Legendaries with crazy signature moves like Moongeist Beam or Shadow Force, and regular ol' Shadow Ball has a hard time being a top pick.
    I could also campaign for Curse to be the best Ghost Type move because even though it uses up half of your Pokémon's max health, it is a great last-resort move. For example: a level 100 Pokémon that keeps using Rest every time I get it low and regens all of it's health. I can use Curse and then I just have to hold out 4 or 5 turns until it inevitably faints, spamming Hypnosis in the meantime. The reason why I would still choose Curse over Nightmare is because for whatever reason, I have terrible luck getting Sleep to last 4 turns.

    I agree with most of these, but for Poison I'd choose Coil simply because:

    2) Not a fan of stall teams

    • @Joker-fq6yx
      @Joker-fq6yx 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don’t like stall teams, either, but there’s really no contest.
      On one hand, you have coil. It’s bulk up with an accuracy boost, and it’s limited to 9 pokemon this gen. Only two mons that learn it see competitive use, and neither of them use it because they’re special attackers.
      On the other hand, you have toxic. Toxic has always been one of the most powerful moves a defensive pokemon can have, and it is given to a _lot_ of defensive pokemon.

    The ONLY one I have a question about is Psychic maybe being Stored Power, since it single handedly carries so many mediocre mon into unbridled levels of ignorance, but that could be recency bias since this is perhaps the best Stored Power has ever looked thanks to Terastalization. Trick Room was absolutely a good pick otherwise.
    This was a great list! I guessed 12 of them, and the 5 I didn't I oiked yours way more. I completely forgot about Shell Smash being Normal-type and not Water-type. I didn't think of Shift Gear or Spore because of distribution, but Spore has enough representation in various tiers.
    Thinking of it now, I want Shift Gear Metagross so bad. It would be so broken

  • @PlumSmug
    @PlumSmug 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

    This is purely doubles bias but here are my corrects imo
    Fire = Overheat. 120 bp is insane for a stab fire move and on mons that get it like torkoal, it can make 50/50's for things like gholdengo. its just an insane move and especially on mixed attackers i think is better than FT
    Water = Rain Dance. Scalds coverage got reduced drastically and i dont know anything scarier than a prankster rain dance mon (Tornadus) with either a partner with swift swim or even just any strong water type. groudon doesent fear kyogre. it fears the air genie
    Electric = Thunder. Rain is so common and weather is so important. and mons like kyogre getting access to it. groudon and koraidon are the only consistent sun setters while tornadus makes rain super easy and it helps its own signature move. its just better more often imo
    Rock. as a doubles player. rock slide woild still not be my pick. stealth rocks are way to good in singles for me to have any form of Doubles Bias.
    will edit when i have othee opinion
    Normal = protect just like how stealth rocks is the metagame for singles. protect is the metagame for doubles. both move define thier competitive types and are easily the 2 best moves in pokemon.
    And flying is Tailwind because speed go brrrrr

    Ok i was gonna let you off the hook for not using Baton Pass nor Protect for the normal move but including TRICK ROOM makes me question everything
    Protect is the backbone of VGC moreso than trick room. Protect is also more useful in Singles than Trick Room and Baton Pass gets banned from singles every gen.
    Clearly being elite in both formats isnt a prerequisite so there is no reason to have Shell Smash over these two.

  • @mateusfranco5938
    @mateusfranco5938 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Imo Protect is by so far the best Normal that it's not even funny. Like the competitive scene is so centered around Protect that half of Urshifu's power comes from the fact that it ignores it, and it's also the reason why all status moves just became a better Protect when the Pokémon is dynamaxed.
