- Today I'm going to be taking a look at the Kalos Elite Four in Pokemon X and Y and attempt to fix them by changing up their Pokemon, movesets, abilities, and items!
If you reach the end of the video, let me know what you think about my changes and if you'd do anything differently! Thanks for watching and thanks to my channel members for your support!

Hey everyone! So how did I do? Did I miss anything? Maybe I added something you didn’t like! Let me know!
To comment on something you said earlier in the video, I feel like a good baseline for team members is
- Gym Leader 1: 2/3 Pokemon
- Gym Leader 2 - 3: 3 Pokemon
- Gym Leader 4 - 7: 4 Pokemon
- Gym Leader 8/Elite Four: 5 Pokemon
- Champion: 6 Pokemon
That way, there's a steady sense of progression and intensity.
@@TheAzulmagia Honestly Gym Leader 2 in some games can also go down the 2/3 Pokemon line, and 4 and 5 could also be in the boat of 3/4 Pokemon. Honestly depends on the Region and Levels of the individual Leader Teams. For Kalos, this is definitely the baseline that should be used.
I just think that diantha's team is consist of pokedex color theme... Hawlucha(green), Tyrantrum(Red), Aurorus(Blue), Gourgeist(Brown), Goodra(Purple), and Gardevoir(White)
@@guiledonrickboncodin5984 Not just different colors, they also have different highest BSTs. Hawlucha's is Speed, Tyrantrum is Attack, Aurorus is HP, Gourgeist is Defense, Goodra is Special Defense, and Gardevoir is Special Attack.
I really like your changes, but for me, Siebold needs to have a mega Blastoise. The blastoise in anime was so iconic, that battle aganist Alain is so cool.
Kalos not giving all the elite 4 members 5-6 pokemon and a mega evo is a crime imo.
Nah, it’s just Kalos being Kalos…
Diantha not having a gen 6 mon mega is also a crime.
Like... Literally florges white is a perfect fit for Diantha
@@beckhampang191 But only the crystal mon thing got a mega among the new gen 6 mons. Florge doesn't have one.
@@c0mpu73rguy yes that's what I said.
Florges should've gotten a mega and been the mega for Diantha.
@@beckhampang191 Megas were made to put older pokemon up to speed with more recent mons. It was obvious it was not made for them.
We definitely need a Fixing the Evil Team video!
A good start is not giving everyone a million Rattata and Zubat...
Troooo, I do like how evil teams have a set amount of mons they use
I thought it was rlly cool how Lysandre was visually designed to have Male Pyroar, but his true ace is Mega Gyrados, because he’s disconnected with his entire organization.
Too bad it’s the first victim on the altar of your Xerneas.
FRFR. I mean look at gen 3 evil team. Oh yeah let's give everyone a Zubat,A poochy and a numel or carrvanha copy paste
@@OKreations subbed for support for the evil team idea
Dianthia’s team is not meant to be entirely in opposition to lysandres. Hers is supposed represent her as an actress, along with some beauty related stuff.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but Diantha’s team is meant to represent different types of movie genres;
Hawlucha is meant to represent action movies, the fossil Pokémon are meant to represent sci-fi, Gourgeist is meant to represent horror, Goodra is meant to represent fantasy, and Gardevoir is meant to represent Diantha herself as an actress.
Huh.... I honestly did not realize that fact, and if I did, I honestly forgot that it was a tertiary theme with her team.
I thought her team represents an fairy tale
Hawlucha-Prince
Fossils-King and Queen
Goodra-Dragon
Gourgeist-Witch
Gardevoir-Princess
@@KinHades You are correct.
@@KinHades Seems like there’s more themes in this team than I imagined.
@@KinHadesgreat one. But why are the king and queen a fossil? 😂
Simple fixes;
Give them bigger teams
Give them Mega Evolution
Exactly
So I have a few issues with the Diantha team, it just mostly the composition and concept. So her team is based on the colors, stats (because each of her Pokémon have different highest stat and color) and the most important concept in my opinion, is character roles
Hawlucha is green, represent the prince/hero, and speed stat
Tyrantrum is red, represent the king and attack stat
Aurorus is blue, represent the queen and the hp stat
Gourgeist is the brown,represent the witch and defenses stat
Goodra is purple, represent the dragon and sp defense stat
And the Gardevoir is white, represent the princess and sp attack stat.
So her team is actually really unique and full of concept and not random at all
So if I change her team then I would stick to one of the three concept, the stat one is Hard to do so I’ll cross that out, the color one is also really hard especially when she will have to overlap Pokémon with other trainer or use weak Pokémon, so I’ll build her team on the roles concept
So her team will be:
-Gourgeist: the witch
-Florges: the queen
Nidoking: the king ( she really need this one for her steel and fairy coverage)
-Pangoro: the hero/prince ( in the Pokédex it says it’s a very protective Pokémon so it can fit the role pretty well, and it can be her body guard also help her with ice and ghost weakness)
-Goodra: the dragon
-Gardevoir: the princess
I can’t believe you wouldn’t have Wikstrom travel through time and space so he can get bug bite on his Scizor from the ORAS move tutor.
Looking forward to fixing team Flare or rivals or moving onto next region
You right I should’ve done that. My b everyone! Thanks dood!
Imo Malva should give Solar Beam to Pyroar instead of Wild Charge. If she’s setting up sun, it’ll only be one turn anyway.
But, at that point, better give it to Mega Houndoom no? 🤨
@@volcanbolt12why not both?
@@Leon-te2jx Simply for moveset variety; besides, Mega Houndoom benefits it more due to Solar Power
@@volcanbolt12 But both Mega Houndoom and Pyroar have better special attack, and the electric moves are there to deal with water types. Solar Beam does the same but works off their better stat.
@@Leon-te2jx That's true, but having both Wild Charge AND Solar Beam will cover the vast majority of Water types... including pokémon like Gyarados & Pelipper (which resist Grass) and Quagsire & Whiscash (which are immune to Electric); and since Wild Charge > Thunder Fang, the choices seem pretty oblivious
I know you said you were changing Lysandre's Mega, but I would still go with Blastoise as Siebold's Mega just to help distinguish from Lysandre and replace the Clawitzer with Lanturn. I just think Gyarados kinda fits the theme of Lysandre's character too much to drop, both from the whole "destructive rage that destroys everything" angle and the fact that Lysandre continually talks about how there are "chosen ones" in society that deserve to be praised, which fits the idea of the diamond in the rough Magikarp becoming a powerful "dragon".
While this is true, i can see the reason as to not give Siebold a Mega Blastoise though, as it would feel a little unfair towards Drasna and Malva if Siebold gets the Mega Blastoise starter, but they don't get Zard X and Y. And i feel like if you do that, you need to replace Mega Gardevoir for Mega Venusaur on Diantha's team, in order to have all Mega Starters having some representation during the League. Here Mega Aggron was chosen as an option, but we also have Mega T-Tar as a solid replacement for Mega Gyarados or if you give Siebold Blastoise and Malva Zard Y, Mega Houndoom for Lysandre would be an option too.
@@nickdentoom1173 One of the Kanto starters could go to the Rival, if you want representation there, and Sycamore could Mega the third one.
it feels a bit weird having team FLAREs leader have a water type mega though. i think mega blaziken or aggron would fit much better
@@Sam20309 Mega T-Tar would have been the best fit.
@@Sam20309 I get what you mean, but I feel like team names are rarely indicative of what the team uses. Team Aqua and Magma only use one type tied to their name, Team Galactic doesn't only use space themed Pokémon, etc.
So I won't lie... This league took me three tries on my first playthrough all those years ago.
My first attempt, I was swept by Siebold's Dragon Dance Gyarados.
My second attempt, I was swept by Diantha's Gardevoir because it had coverage for my entire team. 😶
Mega Altaria being completely forgotten despite Drasna literally having an Altaria on her team hurts my heart. I also get that we’re only using X/Y megas but the Latis got a mention.
Mega Altaria is only in ORAS! Latias/Latios were introduced in X and Y
I love the addition of Furfrou in Diantha's team! and would be super excited to see a "Fixing Evil Teams" video. A lot of them are such missed opportunites like how none of Flare's pokemon are "beautiful" or "fashionable".
Agreed, he needs the first pokemon with a bustier: Mega Jynx
Makes me realise how wasted furfrou wasnt their grunts base mons.
Like imagine just getting to fight a bunch of different furfrou forms because they are rich kids and their pokemon has to be beautiful over being useful.
If youre using Mega Houndoom, you should slap solarbeam on there because of the sun.
Two things: 1) phantom force can’t be exploited too much bc it hits through protect. Only if you have a normal type. 2) mega gardevoir might be better with hyper voice, yeah?
Rip your comment got copied by a bot
@@Mistier bruh
I admit I was skeptical of the Dianthia changes but you nailed it thematically.
Thanks dood!
I personally wouldn't be so restrictive on ORAS move tutor moves since Lysandre's Gyarados uses Outrage and Iron Head already
I would’ve just given Siebold the Mega Blastoise anyway, but alternatively, rather than nixing Lysandre’s altogether, you could make it a Shiny (like the anime version) to differentiate it from Siebold’s.
To be fair, I would absolutely be okay with Seibold having Mega Blastoise just on the fact that in Gen 4 Flint had an Infernape.
That’s a fair point!
And Gardenia had a Turtwig
A couple of observations:
1) Please give Starmie and Noivern a real abilities. Natural Cure and Infiltrator are not oppressive but do something.
2) Sturdy and Brave Bird clash too much for me, if we need to stay in the limits of Gen 6, I would settle for Drill Peck.
3) I would mix together X/Y and ORAS, to open up more mega options and give Gardevoir Hyper Voice.
Have you noticed I have a fixation on optimizing abilities? 😅
For the rest, it's a very well made video. It has some realistic changes that could had totally been there if X/Y wasn't a rushed production, and still allows for normal play styles to work.
And I appreciate that your comment addressing is less mocking then a lot of other TH-camrs.
I like videos that don't constantly insult me. 🙏🏻
They could have added hidden abilities in a update
Those are literally the best abilities for Starmie and noivern tho 😭 Illuminate literally does NOTHING in battle, and Starmies speed stat is too high for it to make good use of analytic, and even if you do move first it’ll be a K.O. On Starmie so it’s pointless. As for Noivern, what good does frisk do for an NPC? And telepathy is strictly for doubles.
And as for skarmory, yeah brave bird + sturdy might not be the best set up but turn one will be set on breaking sturdy so it works as a final gambit move. Keen eye is just… not good and weak armor does skarmory no good because if it’s only gonna survive two turns at most with sturdy then it’s definitely only going to survive two turns with weak armor and its speed is so slow it won’t even get do something with a speed boost.
You like abilities so much but forgot that Dragalge has adaptability and it should have it in the fight imo
@@alkis6391 Thank you for pointing it out. 👍🏻
Adding Houndoom, Lanturn, Skarmory, and Ampharos to the Kalos Elite Four teams is a great idea. However, I would keep Tyrantrum on Diantha's team and replace Druddigon with Kingdra. The only change I would make to Diantha's team is replacing Gourgeist with Malamar.
Two words: mega evolutions
Trooooo
Seriously, even tho I love XY I was disappointed by the lack of mega evolution from pretty much every major trainer
Yeahhhh exactly
Hard agree
00:19: Gyarados with Waterfall?
Unfortunate doesn't even begin to describe...
Another “fixing” video idea could be fixing all the rivals! Idk if that’s too many teams for 1 video, but i think it could be fun. Something I like about your videos is you don’t disregard the character’s personality. Since we usually get more character building from rivals but no specific type limitation, you’d only be limited to pokemon/strategies it feels like they would use based on their personalities. Cutesy, smart, underrated, quiet, etc. Could lead to fun character inspired competitive strategies, brainstorming how this type of character would approach a battle.
That would be super fun! I like that idea
I think fixing the Galar Gym Leaders would be a good one. Good vídeo!
Hey I think so too! Thanks!
Part of me really wants to say Malamar should be on Lysandre's team and Diantha should get either Florges or a non Gen 6 pokemon to help round out her types.
That’s a good idea!
16:26 I disagree on this. Team Flare's Xerosic had a Malamar as his ace, and it fit very well thematically that the cunning scientist behind the ultimate weapon (or at least being heavily involved) would have it
I don’t think that was shown until the post game, but I guess it does still count, I could see your argument in how it fits better on an evil team tho!
Lysandre can still use a mega Gyarados if you give him the shiny one
Seibold has always given me a hard time.
That's mostly due from his team being the only competent one made. Like I was running through this game after Grant and then Seibold came in and stopped my E4 play
Siebold cooked so hard with his team that GameFreak felt obligated to make him a chef.
You just know whenever OKreaction drops the vids gonna bang
I would definitely love a video only focused on the villains
Definitely give Siebold Mega Blastoise and let Lysandre keep Mega Gyarados. Like you said, Siebold uses Mega Blastoise in the anime, and we can make Lysandre's Mega Gyarados shiny like it is in the anime to fit him more. Drasna also uses a Mega Altaria in the anime, so that would work better there.
Except Mega Altaria was introduced in ORAS
@@crazychristopher1989 I’m aware but in a theoretical third version that increases difficulty like the video is doing that wouldn’t be a problem.
4:50 Nothing much to say about Malva: solid team, nice movesets, great Mega; approved! 😊
7:45 I think Starmie should have Natural Cure > Illuminate for... oblivious reasons. As for the Mega... I'm genuinely in between: on one hand, Mega Blastoise would feel redundant alongside Clawitzer (and would force Lanturn to go out); on the other one, Mega Gyarados fits way much better for Lysandre to take him away: if this change is really needed, than the only real alternative for him MUST be Mega Tyranitar, no debating! 😤
10:15 Having Brave Bird on a Sturdy Skarmory feels risky, even with Roost as recovery; better Drill Peck, at that point. Also, how could you forget Scizor's best Technician coverage in... Rock Smash?! 😂
13:50 Despite your reasoning, I still think Mega Garchomp shouldn't have been discarded so easily: after all, Drasna comes from Sinnoh, so it wouldn't have been absurd giving him to her as well! As for Tyrantrum, I don't have a problem about it (any other Dragon type left is the ace of another Dragon specialist), but I'd have swapped him with Goodra if Mega Garchomp was picked instead. The rest is fine... except Frisk on Noivern: Infiltrator is just better! 😅
19:10 The inclusion of Furfrou is actually pretty interesting, and it'd be funny if, every time you battle her, it'll be showed with a different haircut just to show her "gimmick" 😂 However, I can't say the same for Malamar: it's probably just me, but that Pokémon has "evil" written all over to include him in her or Olympia's team (at least in Story Mode); instead, I'd suggest Pangoro (or even Zoroark, but I wanted to stay within Gen 6) as his replacement: I guess I just find him cooler 😅 The rest is fine; approved! 😊
Overall, you did a great job, OKreations; can't wait for your next "fix" video. See ya!~ ❤💖
You did an awesome job! Funny story, my friend was just talking about tweaking Diantha's team to be more thematic and challenging for her story, the other day. I think you did an excellent job with it!
And yes, I'd love to see a video fixing the villains' teams!
Thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback! Sounds good
I 1000% agree with Furfrou on the champion team, awesome pick! Love that dog
Thanks so much dood!
I honestly thought Diantha's team was just really similar but weaker than Steven's team until someone in the comments said its based on movie genres
You did a great job fixing the teams of the Gym Leaders and the Kalos Elite Four. I loved that you included Tyrantrum in Drasna's team, and Furfrou and Malamar in Diantha's team.
In my case I would have included Garchomp in Drasna's team as its Mega Evolution. I understand that Drasna is originally from Sinnoh region and Garchomp would be a good reference to it, at least that's what I think.
Ah nice idea! Thanks so much!
I'm glad that I wasn't the only one that was hung up on her being an former flare admin😂😂
Really fun video. With this video and the gym leader one you’ve shown that only small tweaks were needed to make these games a little more challenging. That being said I’d keep Hawlucha on her team since each member is supposed to represent different movie genres
Ahhhhh that’s cool! Don’t know how I missed that
@@OKreations it’s something that you can easily miss I didn’t even know about it until a couple of months ago lol
Siebold:
Mega Blastoise
Clawitzer
Barbaracle
Gyarados
Ludicolo
Malva:
Mega Houndoom
Talonflame
Pyroar
Chandelure
Volcarona
Wilkstrom:
Mega Scizor
Aegislash
Bisharp
Klefki
Magnezone
Drasna:
Mega Ampharos
Dragalge
Noivern
Haxorus
Altaria
Diantha:
Mega Gardevoir
Goodra
Sylveon
Malamar
Aurorus
Gourgeist
I don’t think that Aegislash should have Shadow Sneak as its Ghost STAB, simply because it will put it in its defensively weak Attack form before the player’s Pokémon gets the chance to attack.
Also, Tyrantrum should have Rock Head if it’s running Head Smash imo (since Strong Jaw doesn’t boost either of its STAB moves and Head Smash recoil is brutal).
I liked your choices, I would only make a few changes:
Siebold: Clawitzer - Pelipper - Kingdra - Barbaracle - Mega Blastoise
Drasna: Dragalge - Altaria - Haxurus - Noivern - Mega Garchomp
Diantha: Nidoqueen - Starmie - Florges (White Flower) - Gourgeist - Goodra - Mega Gardevoir
Siebold's Starmie should have Natural Cure or its Hidden Ability Analytic, since Illuminate is completely useless in battle in this Gen. And trainers are actually programmed to switch out if a Pokémon with Natural Cure is asleep.
Analytic would be pointless on Starmie, since the boost applies only if it attacks last (and it has 115 in Speed, so...); Natural Cure is the only real option, imho
well it would matter if people aren’t goobers playing on switch mode since the damage boost also applies when a pokemon is switched in
@@seamus5979 Ok, but it'd still be situational: if I'm aware of what move Starmie is going to use, I could counter it with a switch on an "immune" pokémon and waste its Analytic; meanwhile, Natural Cure will be "alive" the moment Starmie will get statused; besides, you'll play Life Orb Starmie most of the time, so that extra boost isn't that relevant compared to a garanteed status heal
Each of Diantha's pokemon do not share the same Pokedex color as each other, making her team a rainbow of colors. In addition, each of them has 1 of the 6 stats as their highest stat. They also represent different movie genres.
Blue, HP = Aurorus (Sci-Fi)
Red, Attack = Tyrantrum (also Sci-Fi)
Brown, Defense = Gourgeist (Horror and Supernatural)
White, Special Attack = Gardevoir (Romance)
Purple, Special Defense = Goodra (Fantasy)
Green, Speed = Hawlucha (Action)
And only after you beat their mega, they will send out their ace! That's wild bro! 😂
Will you fix team rocket admins in Johto? Or team flare first?
That’s a great idea! Maybe I’ll start there
If Propobass had Stealth Rocks, you'd have Wikstrom be really punishing on switch-ins. It's guaranteed to get it off thanks to sturdy, and if Klefki got Spikes in, a Spinner becomes really valuable.
Mix in Sandstorm and Wikstrom becomes a Knight standing against the storm
Troooo, especially with Whirlwind
14:29 After the Indigo Disk expansion Geeta isn’t the worst champion, I’d say she’s one of the strongest
Oh I didn’t know you battle her again, I dropped the indigo disk halfway through haha
@@OKreationsYou can invite her to the League Club Room after catching Terapagos, and her team composition is very much improved! She actually uses Glimmora first and Kingambit last, and that’s for starters!
Man i need to play a pokemon X romhack with your balance changes
for diantha gardevoir could have hyper voice, just to make use of its signature ability, lovely video by the way
Make Guardevoir a shiny, turning the Wedding Dress into a Funeral Dress. As if to say, this is your Funeral, Challenger!!
Im quite surprised no trainers have shiny pokemon. Doesnt really matter, but someone like the champion having one would just be funny. Maybe your rival, a random gym leader, or yknow, literally anyome at all
@@TheGodIvy Randomizers allow this.
Silly fun fact, on my first Kalos playthough um.... turns out my entire team was vulnerable to Mega Gardevoir, so Diantha nearly swept my entire team, and I only won through spamming dig on Garchomp. Do not ask how that worked because to this day I still don't know
I would like you to be in charge of making every major Pokémon battle in all future games, official and fan made, thank you
It’s too ez
Main issues with the team building composition for Kalos. I can name several of them. First and foremost is Gardevoir's move set. Mega Gardevoir has the ability Pixilate and literally not one of its moves in the vanilla games is a Normal type move. Pixilate makes Normal moves become Fairy while in battle. So Echoed Voice or even Hyper Voice would've benefitted from the ability.
Secondly is Siebold's team composition. Starmie has an ability that's actually useless in battle. So that should change to Natural Cure, which is one of its other vanilla abilities. Plus there's the Mega Blastoise debacle. Flint of the Sinnoh Elite Four has an Infernape and it's a starter Pokémon. Plus Mega Gyarados is more suited for Lysandre as it is technically considered a villainous Pokémon due to it being Dark typed.
Next is Drasna. While Ampharos is a good idea, I feel that Charizard is more suited for her. It has a Dragon form in Mega Charizard X and gets Dragon moves by TM. Also, I personally feel that keeping Drasna's Druddigon on her team while giving it a Rocky Helmet to compliment its Rough Skin ability is a better move. Plus Noivern should have Infiltrator for an ability rather than Frisk as the latter checks for items on the opposing team and the player doesn't utilize Hold items most of the time.
What about Malva? Giving her Houndoom is a good idea but adding Solar Beam to its move pool can benefit the Sunny Day and Solar Power strategy she might possibly have. Plus, giving her Torkoal the White Herb is a good idea. It reversed Curse's effect.
For Diantha's team, she should have most of her team replaced with new Pokémon. Hawlucha should be replaced with Furfrou, Tyrantrum should be replaced with Malamar and Aurorus should be replaced with Lapras. I personally feel that other than Steven and maybe Lance due to the latter not having very many options in his own region as far as typing specialty goes, no Pokémon League Champion should have a single Fossil Pokémon in his or her team. Steven's father owns a building in Rustboro City that resurrects fossils. So Steven gets a pass on having Fossil Pokémon as options. You could also replace Gourgeist with Carbink as it represents a gemstone and it can be encountered in Reflection Cave.
Other than that, very good video.
I still think Dianthas ace shouldve been mega Diancie
SAME
I still can't believe that Diancie is the only Gen 6 Mega Evolution ( Ash Greninja doesn't count)
@@murderman7265 fr, imagine Mega Pyroar, or Mega Clawitzer and Dragalge, even Malamar and Gogoat would have cool Megas, Or Gourgiest and Trevenant. In other words, it had the most potential out of any region
Not making the ace a mega is a bold but extremely fun thing to do.
You thought you got rid of her strongest... But thats just second place.
Thanks dood!
Diantha sets the screens to early to actually protect her gardivoir, if gooy and dino swap places she is much more threatening
I could NOT beat the elite 4 as a kid. 😭
That gyrados brings back nightmares.
Personally, I never felt like Diantha NEEDED Goodra. And that it fit Drasna's bulkier Dragon Types better. I'd replace it with Florges (another Special Defensive wall), and have it change forms similar to how actors get bouquets after stage performances.
I really like your approach here! Like everyone has said, it's frustrating that the Kalos Elite Four didn't have Mega Evolution - like why did it get introduced if only the player and villain would use it? I know they wanted to make XY easier for new players but I feel like that was such a missed opportunity. Would love to see your take on the rivals or villain teams!
Hey thanks for the feedback! I appreciate the support! Sounds good!
The only note I have is aegislash shouldn't have shadow sneak, it's priority, so it'll go first, but then will have no defense if the opponent survives your attack, due to its ability. I think keeping shadow claw would've been the better choice
Fair enough!
I remember having a really easy time with the Elite 4 in Pokemon X and Y all because I had a Slyveon in my party! While the fairy types are nice I felt very bad for Dragon type pokemon!
They shouldn't have that big of a weakness against Fairy types so I felt bad when I steamrolled a dragon trainer.
I am also surprised that you didn't give another Pokemon Volt Switch for Wikstrom so maybe Skarmory could use it instead of Whirlwind? Thank you for the video! I would love to see you fix Team Flare's Pokemon Teams they really need a make over!
Hey thanks for the comment! I agree fairy goes hard into this e4, I like the whirlwind angle to help rack up spikes damage that klefki lays down earlier, but another volt switch could be fun somewhere, I’m not sure if skarmory gets it or not though
It’s baffling how Kalos has access to several dragons like Hydreigon, Garchomp, Salamence, Dragonite and even Goodra and Drasna decides to use Drudiggon and Non-Mega Altaria
Unfortunately mega Altaria isn’t in the games, but you right! I do really love the variety you see here
Honestly Siebold was my hardest challenge in my elite four run…except THAT FUCKING SWORD!
I’m on an alt, but from one content creator to another this is a really well designed thumbnail! May your channel continue to grow!
Thanks so much dood! I appreciate the feedback, always looking to improve
I believe Diantha’s team is meant to represent each Pokémon stat, as well as different movie genres. But her new team I feel could still fit the actor thing as well. Furfrou being able to fill different roles, and Malamar playing the villain
Talonflame in particular getting its hidden ability makes sense... because for some reason your rival's Fletchling has it.
Some strange changes here.
- Siebold deserves his M-Blastoise
x Lysandre should’ve had a Mega Pyroar. (Most likely we might see something similar in Legends: Z-A)
- Wikstrom deserves M-Aggron.
13:10 They already did this in gen 9 with the last Pokémon of every gym leader being a different type and terastalizing into their preferred type.
Great video. If Wikstrom was in gen 8, I would 100% give him a Corviknight on his team. Also speaking of him, I'd replace X-Scissor on his Scizor with Bug Bite to have another STAB move powered up by Technician.
Scizor getting Bug Bite is only available in ORAS through a move tutor, it's not available as a move in XY
@@Killua481 Dang you're right. But at the very least, Fury Cutter is another option, that could potentially be quite strong for Scizor. But honestly, I guess X-Scissor is fine enough. Just throwing out some ideas here 😅
@@shovanrahman1111 I had a hand in making this, trust me it was a considered option, but in the end we decided X scissor was more reliable that a fury cutter that can miss
I would love to see a mod with these changes as well as the gym leader changes! Maybe some slight tweaks to trainer battles to match the vibe, but these changes are a good mix of difficulty without being insanely hard, they’d make for a good way to get into the modding community!
i think torkoal would’ve benefited from rapid spin cause stealth rocks could really wreck malva’s lineup
Awesome video, I wish Torkoal had Drought and Starmie had Natural Cure, but still a great analysis!!!
Great catches! I appreciate it a lot!
I think the only change I would make to diantha’s fixed team would be changing moonblast for hyper voice to take advantage of pixilate
Fair point!
Can’t wait to see you do Scarlet and Violet
the furfrou double battle below the mansion is a major battle
Malva can be beaten 1v4 with a vivilion with the move Powder. The AI will always use a fire type move, and Powder has priority, so the enemy always takes damage instead of Vivilion
I recommend adaptability dragalge. It’s not one to sleep on with decent special bulk
My bros amazing
As an actress I can see her using a luchador the connection being that they are both performance arts
I totally see why you ddin't give Siebold Mega Blastoise, since that would have felt unfair towards Malva not getting a Charizard Y and Drasna not getting X.
My problem with T-Wave over Torment for Klefki on Wikstroms team, is that his team is cakewalk for Ground types.
If you are going to do an Evil team fix, i would prefer Diggersby over Malamar for Diantha, since Malamar is Xerosic's ace. Xerosic has 2 Pokemon anyways (With Lysandre having only four). There a couple of Pokemon that aren't used by any major trainer in XY.
I'm just surprised that the Mega wasnt the Ace, like in the case with Diantha & Lysandre
Malamar was repesent actually He was Xeroxic's ace in the story and later on the mind controlled Emma's in the post game
The only change i’m not feeling here is giving Drasna’s Noivern Hurricane. I would’ve stuck with the Air Slash it already had
Fair enough!
I'd have gone Intimidate on the houndoom before mega evolving to cripple any fighting types
Houndoom unfortunately doesn’t get intimidate!
@@OKreations.... I've been playing too much storm silver 🤣🤣🤣
That’s so real😂
Shadow Sneak isn't great on Aegislash, because it will attack first, hence putting it in its weaker blade forme. Maybe if it had swords dance, it would make sense
I think u could give Dragalge its HA - Adaptability for an EVEN stronger SW or DM
I would personally bump up Diantha's levels a bit more, as they're still too close to the E4s to not be a noticable jump in difficulty.
Not to bring sexism into this, but changing the first 2 to what was then introduced definitely changed her team to have a more feminine side to things. Hawlucha and Tyrantrum added bulk and muscle which never really seemed to fit Diantha. Regardless of being an actor and the flexibility of what that means. I get that each Pokémon represented a specific movie genre, but it also made her quite easy to beat too. Competitively, I think this is a better team comp. And it’s what we needed for Kalos too. Kalos was beyond easy for me and they dropped the difficultly because of the younger audience coming in but it took A LOT away from veteran players like myself. Now I wanna challenge Diantha with a team like this.
looking forward to "fixing galar's gym leaders" - their teams feel **especially** underwhelming considering how many options the game gives you with the wild area opening up so early
Galar would be fun! Although I will say I believe Kofu does a really good job at being the first early game challenge
i wasnt a big fan of some of the changes to diantha's team.
swapping tyrantrum for malamar was a nice choice. hawlucha for furfrou on the other hand was hard to get behind.
instead i wouldve added a guts/flame orb (replacing malamar's scope lens) machamp with: protect, facade, drain punch, and ice punch
guts + flame orb isnt something you really get to see in the main story of pokemon games and i think having it on a champion is very fitting, and it keeps to the theme of movie genre's in her team (hawlucha being action)
That’s a fun idea!
13:07 considering how many gyms/elite 4 use pokemon that aren't their signature type, I think it's fine tbh
all of these teams are a 10 outta 10! why hasn't this video gotten 1k likes yet?
Thanks so much dood!
I mean Scizor already got the Technician so you could've replaced Swords Dance with Pursuit to punish those who try to switch out 👀
I love it!
I like the fact that the Kalos Elite Four is unique in that one of their members is also a former Team Flare member, but I also don't like the fact all of the Kalos Elite Four and a majority of the Gym Leaders after Korrina, and to the extent the Rivals after the 5th Gym, don't have a Mega Evolution. You want to flex a new mechanic? Make sure it isn't stuck to specific Pokemon or give the important trainers one of those specific Pokemon. Honestly I do agree with a majority of the changes to these teams, only changes I'd personally make to X/Y Teams overall are (Just gonna say it now, I'd do be wanting a Pokemon Evil Teams list of updated Teams for all the major baddies up to Gen 6):
- Give Grant a Barbaracle as an Ace (I know it's a bit strong, but it's a Rock/Water Type, you'd be able to find plenty of Pokemon by the time you'd fight Grant for that NOT to be an issue. On top of that its Gen 6 Lv. Up Moveset is not really an issue, especially since it doesn't get Fury Cutter until Lv. 37.)
- Have every Gym Leader have at least 1 extra Pokemon on their Team (Wulfric gets 2 because why not), and a majority of the Gym Leaders after Korrina, as well as the Elite Four have their own Mega Evolutions (Probably not Ramos, but depends on the person. Also, it's kind ridiculous that almost none of the major battles use the mechanic at all.).
- Siebold's Ace being Blastoise and Wikstrom's being Aggron. (Siebold's not only because of the anime, but he's a chef, so it would be fitting to have turtle soup on his menu lol. Wikstrom's because it not only turns into a pure Steel Type, but it also looks knightly enough for the man. Scizor's also a nice pick because its an already established Pokemon on his team, but I'd honestly prefer if it wasn't the obvious choice.)
- Last but certainly not least, changing Diantha's Team (Whether it be composition or just overall moveset) because whilst she does follow similar patterns to Steven Stone in that she has solely Pokemon of her Region, plus the 2 Fossil Mons, and a Psuedo Legend, her Team just dies to 3 different Types. We called her the worst Champion before Geeta, but to be fair to Geeta, she legitimately forgot to bring her A-Game Team for the Champion Battle.
Though I would also have the replacements stick in line with her secondary theming, all of her Pokemon are not only differently colored Pokemon, but they also have a different strongest stat (Hawlucha is Green and its highest is speed, Tyrantrum is Red/Attack. Aurorus is Blue/HP, Gourgeist is Brown/Defense, Goodra is Purple/Special Defense, and Gardevoir is White/Special Attack). I do agree she needs to be more on the Lysandre contrast side, but also sticking in line with her secondary theming.
To reiterate: I do enjoy the changes you thought would make the Teams overall better, and I can respect them. I just have my own opinions about what could be a better Team for Diantha. (Much like how I personally think that Clair should've probably had a Feraligatr on her Team and replaced one of her Dragonair for a Seadra, making her seem more like a Water specialist instead of Dragon to throw off the player, not by much, but slightly.)
I’ve been waiting for this one !!!🎉🎉🎉
There is difference with the Unova elite 4 and Kalos elite 4, the Unova elite 4 only have 4 Pokémon when you fight them for the first time and then they have 6 Pokémon when you rematch them, But when you rematch the Kalos elite 4, they haven’t gotten even one new single Pokémon their team, even Steven got newer Pokémon on his team when you rematch him in ORAS, Gamefreak really throw Kalos under the bus
If we're going about beauty for lady diantha give her togekiss or florges. Plus aurorus should go first for setting up light screen and reflect for any attacks to be half for her other pokemons
I don’t mind the Gen 5 Elite Four cuz they have solid Pokémon but Gen 6 wouldn’t have been bad if they gave them each a Mega
Dude, aggron doesn’t work with lysandre at all, Gyarados is a perfect match for him. Also, mega Gyarados to me seems to go against seibolds theme
