Stay out of my office bro
At least he used your coverage of competitive formats in the description?
But Proto, he has a good point.
no u
you knew it was coming.
Oh shit, it's about to go down
Wait isn't it illegal to break into houses?
Uhh 911, Aura Guardian broke into False Swipe Gaming's office, please take him to jail.
The best part is, FSG actually made an Unown vid
im just fucking dying
@UCSOTeCbqn9QP9ZCaLVLLzBQ lol he made an April Fool's competitive history video satrring Unown
I was about to type the same thing
And spoiler alert: it concluded that Unown was a joke.
PU= Pretty Unreasonable
PU = Punder Used
PU=, what's that smell?!
Pu pretty unuseable

Strong threats like Dragonite, Garchomp, and *P I D G E Y*
Also, the pictures of Unown in each generation has a different letter: P L Z S U B

Ammonite The SeaWing but why would he do that
Oh waaaiitt False swipee

Haven't seen the vid but
Why does Unown need his own vid
WE KNOW PERFECTION WHEN WE SEE IT
You are right
And it isn't unknown
@@ringwolf5134 he said unown :/
@@habib3059 ik
Whenever he listed Pokemon like Dragonite and Garchomp, and then followed up with Pidgey, I lost it.
About time someone talks about this underrated beast! Choice Band Hidden Power Bug is heat 😤🔥👌
It's really nice how versatile unown is
How do I see you in almost every Pokemon video I watch....?
Shawn McMillan you’re everywhere lol
Shawn McMillan
Well, almost every Pokémon gets Hidden Power, so...
And he didn't even mention unown's secret weapon...struggle!

__Let's 👏 make 👏 it 👏 happen 👏__
?!
Only reason why unown only used hidden power, was because all of it's other moves were too powerful for the meta.
You have Unown curse, Which makes all of the opponent's Pokémon faint, Unown Banish, Which Gets rid of all other trainers, Which allows you to insta win, And Unown's revenge, Which If hit, guarantees you win the next five battles.
@@charizardhaterkiller2663 even worse, unown struggle
I want Unown ! to win
I just realized
Choice Specs/Scarf Unown is actually the best item for unown
Not saying much, but definitely true.
Or band in gen 3
"good against strong threats like dragonite, garchomp and pidgey."
It's pronounced "baby bird jesus".
Nice amount of likes.
Caught off guard. But hilarious nonetheless. You guys should collaborate once in a while, since Kellen rarely does collaborations.
Second best video ever! After the "How to Evolve Eevee into Sylveon"
5 pokemon that can beat superman is personally my favorite aura video
I laughed my ass off so bad what's the point of the toilet now.
Have you seen the old save files one?
I agree like your comment
It should be noted why unown fell to nu and then pu.
In gen 2, Unown had few consistent counters. Sure if you know the type of hidden power, you could easily beat him, but competent players would do their best to hide that info until the best time. That said, porygon and its evolution became the only TRUE counters thanks to their unique mover of conversion 2 transforming them into a resistant type. Thankfully porygon 2 was trapped in ou and porygon sucked, but gen 3 was not so kind.
Gamefreak, realizing the monster they created, made a specific counter that unown user could never hope to beat. Kecleon.
He had huge special defense, normal typing and an ability to change types no longer needed to waste a movie slot to be unown. Even more, they made its other stats subpar so it wouldn't be condemned to the upper tiers like porygon 2.
When ever unown started to rampage, that damn lizard would rise to drag him back down. Not even escaping into pu helped since kecleon followed him. Clearly, his only value in nu was the unown countering.
Hidden Power Dragon or Hidden Power Ghost (if hit previously by non normal type move) would be easy counters to Kecleon
So they failed at creating a counter to unown until Gen 6 when Protean came out
@@XXXEmpoleon sableye
Lol I thought this was actually false swipe for a second
abra wolf when I saw the thumbnail, for a second I thought it was false
i thought auraguardian did these for a second
The Unowns on the thumbnail spelled out “ASS”, the Unowns he chose for each generation spelled out “PLZ SUB”, and the Unowns at the end spelled out “BAD”.
How good was Unown actually?

I love how the unown in the playthrough is named God
What is this, a crossover episode!?
Zizou, it's a joke between Aura Guardian and False Swipe Gaming.
Aura Guardian and False Swipe Gaming, in the same room? It must be!
Hahahahaha i get the bojack horseman reference
October fools
In my opinion, GSC Unown was outclassed by Pinser, who could run all of Unown's powerfull sets with the added utility of Sword's Dance and RestTalk. However, Pinser would have to sacrifice the STAB from HPbug to use most of them, so they were about equally good.
Oh OF COURSE you linked the lucario video typical
I really did not know how good Unown actually was
Who's hear after 2019 April Fools where FSG collabed with Pikasprey?
I remember during a Showdown battle the other guy's last Pokemon was an Unknown with Hidden Power Psychic and I had a Dark Type. I just kept setting up and he just quit lol.
Is it just me, or Alex' voice ia really different?
Edit: or did he mention that he's ill?
I thought it was just me
Funny
He's doing an impression of the person who usually makes the 'How good was .... ' actually...
Glassqa2005 he is imitating false swipe gaming (who originally created the series 'how good was ...')
I lost it when he started listing all the hidden power sets. It kept going and going. XD
Aura Guardian: Hello and welcome to an high-
Me: Sorry, you arrived too late. The video is over
You should Un-Own this vid, you have copied a you tubers concept.
lol just joking.
i got baited so hard
Is this False Swipe Gaming?
DJ Tile Turnip that’s what I was thinking
Just.... Look at who made the video
@@octopissofficial r/wooooosh
Anonymous Octopus we know but this is like FSG style
No, this is Patrick.
9:36
If you read the unown, it well come out as "plzsub"
"Great threats like Mega Charizard Y, Volcarona, and Spinarak." Seems legit.
Hidden power fairy: did I stutter?
Would’ve been a great April fools Joke... kinda random and confusing now.
its never random and confusing
yeah you are right Unknown is pretty much the worst pokemon
10:09
For a second there, I thought Kellen sounded like Scykoh.
Heh.
The AuraGuardian used Steal and Taunt.
False Swipe Gaming took 700,000,00 damage.
*IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE*
You know, it would be neat to see a "how GOOD was ______" series focusing on the Pokemon TCG. I envision there would be a lot to talk about regarding Muk, Vileplume, Unown, Zoroark, and many other relatively unviable mons.
ptcgradio kinda did that,but its not a weekly series so rip
MY GOSH JUST RELIZED ITS AURAGUARDIAN
yes i really needed a 10 minutes long video analyzing the powerful strengths of unown
It took me a while to realize that this video was like False Swipe Gaming’s considering the fact that I had no idea who that was until I searched him... Sorry dude.
you really had to spell "ASS" in the thumbnail didn't you
No one:
Aura guardian: History of unknown in competitive Pokémon as a filler video to keep people entertained while I work on other things... PERFECT!!!!!!
Duuuude. I was so confused as to why this video was in my subscription feed since I’m not subscribed to false swipe, and it took me like, five hours to realize.
Can we copystrike TheAuraGuardian?
oBvIoUsLy
Like... right now?
No. He was given permission to make this. Watch the last bit
2:43 “As well as Poison types as well”
Ηειιο Ηυмαη what?
Good video
Didnt know unown could ko sunkern
I didn't know unown could ohko pidgey, pidgey is too strong.
Shit there was some wrong math if he can ohko pigy
Oh my god I love that breakneck blitz is used against a level 3 grubbin
Wow I just saw the video on the right side and thought False Swipe Gaming had a new Video.
You did a good job!
Hmmm…
What IF…
Unown had an ability that boosts ALL their stats by one stage for each Unwon in your party (including Pokémon that transform into them), OR if you have an Arceus then as long as it’s is out battling, ALL Unown in your party regain 10% health per turn, even reviving themselves from fainting to do so.
“But don’t worry because unown has another set for that”
Unown is un-ironically my favorite Pokémon... I wish more people liked it.
Just realized that Unown was banned in VGC 2018 & 2019 (not that you would use it) because you can’t catch it in S/M/US/UM, therefore you can’t get it with the Alolan mark, therefore it can’t participate in VGC at the time.
How good was miltank actually?
I need to get all of the types of Unknown for Hidden Power. It is now my new goal.
I've been watching both these TH-cam's for years and only now realised that this video existed today- I-
The one that got me was "can one hit KO Sunkern".
Still better than persian. At least unown had a tier
Idea for Pointless move in Pokemon Lets go (or D/P remakes) - Reversed reversal = Does more damage the lower health the opponent has. If the opposing Pokemon has 1hp remaining, this move will always 1 hit KO.
I actually thought I missed a video for a second and realise it's not from false xD
You forgot about when Ring Target was included - it massively boosted Unown that is able to hit every Pokémon - Sableye, Spiritomb and Eelectross with any HP you would want.
And you forgot about the necessary nerf it got after HP became base 60 power move instead variable one.
Description. It must be a poem. I love this description.
This is just becoming a troll channel
Bubb0 69 “becoming”? It is
Haha yes
I didn't even notice Aura Guardian made this XD
the thumbnail is basically the pokemon
I don’t get why people are saying this is fake. This is clearly the False Swipe Gaming we know.
PS: I first saw this video and thought “Wow someone is copying FSG? What a scumbag.” and to my surprise, it’s just an amazing parody. Loved the video. (Also, Unown is like the most versatile Pokémon of them all.)
i used psychic surge unown one time. very useful
I feel you missed April Fool's Day by a few months, bro.
On this channel, every day is April Fools
...He spelled "ASS" in the thumbnail.
*_This man is living in 3018._*
i was super confused when this appeared on my feed. I was scratching my head like "didn't False Swipe Gaming already do this?".
And then the thumbnail used in the video says B A D
It is ass tbh
yep lol
I was really annoyed at first, that another one of these made it into my recomended list, but then I saw the uploader and was very happy :P
Infinity war is the most inclusove crossover of the year
This video:
Why wasn't this an April Fools episode?
"major threats like pidgey"
Nobody pointing out that the thumbnail spells "ass"
Not gonna lie, It actually took me a minute to realize what was going on. I was listening to the intro and thought "Hey, what's wrong with his voice? Is he sick or something?" I stopped and went to look at the comments, then realized what the channels name was and went "Wait a minute......." XD
Thanks for telling me which unknown to use in agenst the six magikarp trainer
I was gone far a while. What happened to your voice? Puberty?
Tbh i didnt even bat an eye that you mentioned Pidgey as a victim of Unown in Gen 2. Unlike Garchomp, at least it existed at the time. Though maybe Unown banished it to Gen 4
Hahahaha Another one of thos videos that I like from Aura
I just know this from that creepypastas
Hey TheAuraGuardian what are you planning to do for a video next? Maybe a video comparing on the difference between certain pokemon before and after Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? (You'll probably need the Sun and Moon Pokedex and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon National Pokedex for this, but you might also be able to do this without them.)
Please do more of these. This is how you do a collab
If this was meant to be a parody of false swipe gaming, then you've hit the nail on the head!
This...is...BEAUTIFUL. Seriously Aura watch out for hydro pump and earthquake cuz your vids are fire! Would you ever consider doing a pokeaimmd parody?
I spent time looking up an unown alphabet just to realize what was spelt out across the 6 gens...
Unown needs wishiwashi's ability schooling (since we only ever see unown grouped together), access to vespqueen's order moves (attack order, heal order ect) and his own unique psychic move
"Which is really useful to use against strong threats like Dragonite, Garchomp...and Pidgey!"
That part fuckin killed me, this video was hilarious
The accent youre making is just the tiniest cherry on top of this top tier video
Oh god, that unown spelling at the end killed me. Brilliant, just brilliant.
I just wonder how many videos had to be watched to make sure that this was as accurate as possible.
Aura Guardian you should do a Pokemon versus of Heracross vs Pinsir. Also when you score them do a point for their regular form and a point for their mega for each category.
Didn't FSG upload an Unown video for April 1st 2017?
Yes.
I thought I was watching false swipe gaming for like 5 minutes before I realised..
he even put "Plz Sub" at the end lmao
I was wondering why I heard alex's voice at the start...
Then I checked the channel.
