Lokix is a good example of how a busted ability can carry a low stats mon. But it's also a good example of low stats prevent a mon from being broken. Just imagine if Slither Wing got Tinted Lens instead.
@@ryansu6746tinted lens simply gives a 2x modifier wich negates a resistance, so if a mon has a double resist (for example tinkaton) they get a simple resist
early game bug type that has not left UU since day one in spite of half the old OUs dropping down mutiple times. lokix is such a goat give my man the respect he deserves

In the UU discord people generally refer to it as goatkix, because its ability to revenge almost any setup sweeper has often been the only thing allowing playstyles other than HO to exist in the tear. There's a reason why there's been very few frail set up sweepers banned, while multiple ones that boost their defenses as well have been, and it's that no matter how powerful a frail set up sweeper is, lokix can keep it at bay. It forces Battle Bond Greninja to generally run protect, and it often forces cornerpon to run spiky shield, to give you an idea of how much it can keep set up sweepers in check. If offense wasn't such a dominant playstyle it would probably get banned, but instead it serves to be a barrier to an otherwise extremely oppressive playstyle.
This is a stark contrast from the blunder lokix live. All the kills lokix got in that live were matched in the first game of this live 😭 Nahhhh but blunder the goat 🗣️
Man, I watched so much Joey that I thought I had already subscribed to him. But now that I checked, I didn't. Not sure if I had mistaken it or if TH-cam remove my subscribe, but still +1 for Joey.
I used this on the days prior to SV release, when the meta wasn't stalbished and it was crazy af. It wasn't high ladder or anything like that but you could actually see the potential of this shit with tinted lens and a CB. It's a fucking beast. Still my favourite mon from Gen IX.
When competitive SV was very early on, tbh I thought Lokix would've been pretty bad Now I'm extremely happy to be wrong, this little sentai bug just defies power creep.
I might or might not watch the video all the way Joey but naming the Lokix Edgar was peak! I fought that rank one guy Edgar corpse and he's nice man. If it's Edgar Allan ... It made me laugh. He gave me a team I think hit rank one. Yes I had to make psychic reads but I started not competitive but a strong casual run with fighting rank one's early. Edgar never lost to me I think. I can't front. I think it will take 30 games to win. He's worthy of the Lokix name. It made me laugh. Back to enjoying the video BUDDY! Everyday beast. Everyday with the Marlene too. The queen hehe
I think it hit rank one. I remember all these extra noises. I was like huh! Why are all these people rank one? I think it COULD have been me... Either that or every fucker is rank one. Rank one's basically birthed me and left to raise a family, left because they pretended to be a young girl kid... If I hit rank one, I wouldn't know. Fighting the rank one's as a casual just makes you passionate about battle. Focus. Winning you know? I don't really see numbers holding significance
Tinted lens is always my favorite I run it on Yanmega and it surprises people when im not running speed boost and they switch or try to set up thinking they are okay
Man, I don't know what's going on. I smoked some guy with a Lowkix team, and I thought, wow, Lowkix is slept on. Then I saw Luster feature it, and now it's here. Lowkix feature is going on the backburner for now😅
This vid also showing just how cracked alo is, taking a plus +2 with 3 dead sucker punch from just over half like it was nothing lol just to pivot out and gat back most of that hp since flip turn is a thing now
Greninja team? 🥺 Or perhaps a broken ray quay quay team? Idk either or lmao id just like to see a greninja team that could do well in doubles ranked or perhaps solo
@@badsolja1 it is but how often are you seeing ID used? I've seen more BP/VS/rocks/taunt sets that BP ID. Though still, it does have a mild enough spread to at least relatively use SD or CM
@catriathicc It wasn’t used as much in uu if I’m not mistaken from the few game I have played recently But it was extremely common in ru From what I saw. You can check its smogon analysis. / damage calculator and you probably will still find it The ID ,BP set was even used in offense during last olt in ru This how good and common it was
I use insect plate lokix and pretend to be banded by first impression and switch. but in late game started to sucker punch/knock off, win mind game most of the time even against legendary spammer
the assult vest primarina with volt switch went crazy
Mhm Primarina
LOL I just started the vid and was gonna comment but this was the top comment
bro i had to rewind like 4 times
Tbf the Alo did have an Assault vest and was also a water type. 2/5?

@@dimentdash the only mon BKC made an SV video on
If Lokix isn’t in the last Gen 9 video imma be sad fr

Tinted lens is especially strong in gen 9 because no defensive tera can stop tinted lens
@@ispeakcockney5387 no type stops tinted lens because it’s entire thing is that it makes non super effective hits more powerful

@@Cigmacica I was speaking in laymen’s terms if anyone didn’t understand because yes it does do more damage but not a lot if double resisted

The Lokix runback! I remember that Lokix was the first Scarlet and Violet Pokémon he made a showdown video for
9:38 bro that Alomamola set FOLDED my ass, gg wp
cute duck
The gen 5 lokix sprite in the intro was crazy

There are few things more satisfying than the featured mon putting in WORK in the vid. Lokix and Alo are amazing together

I love lokix so much. Its such a cool mon. People call it a one trick pony, but its damn good at that one trick

As a Toku fan, Lokix is definitely one of my favourite Pokémon from Gen 9, alongside Skeledirge and the Paradox Pokémon.
JUMP!

Lokix is easily my favorite pokemon to come out of Gen 9. Put lokix on the thumbnail im there 🚗 💨
Crazy this has the same thumbnail as the previous lokix video but mirrored 😅😅
scarzig is working on a new one now haha
Haha all good 😅😅 I thought I was rewatching the video from a year back cuz of the previous thumbnail
Have been seeing alot more Lokix in high ladder actually, SZ spammed it, hvoltage spammed it, it might actually be goated mon
0:54 NO F"N WAY!!!!! Awesome that I'm seeing this!!
The way Lokix has survived the entirety of SV without leaving UU. You love to see it.
Considering the insane Pokemon that *are* in UU now, I have no doubts that if Lokix was released a few generations ago, it would have been Ubers.
I'm just happy it's finally in 3D
Love your reaction to anything Lokix does

TERA BUG TINTED LENS LOKIX IS STILL INSANE! IN OU
nice title messup
Enough time has passed… the Lokix runback is here
I love how gen 9 gave us both the best and one of the worst regional bugs
Rip the old Kamen Lokix Thumbnail
I went super pivot route and got top 200 ladder on accident testing lokix... lokix kyu alo glowking Lando garg hdb pivot squad
HE'S BACK!!!!
this is one of the strongest teams ive seen
Earlier to this video than a Tinted Lens First Impression🔥
The only Pokémon to x
consistently stay in the Top 5 of UU since Gen 9 started
Lokix can be one of the hardest mons to deal with in random battle
Assault Vest Primarina😂. I thought I'd gone blind or something
When competitive SV was very early on, tbh I thought Lokix would've been pretty bad
Now I'm extremely happy to be wrong, this little sentai bug just defies power creep.
Lokix my GOAT in my first gen 9 draft league
The game against the ogerpon guy is why I'll always take the slightly less power and use silver powder Kix instead of band
damn you were on one in this video. stormzone too when he was cooking.
Im a simple man i see lokix in title i like comment and subscribe

I use to love using storm zones druddigon team last gen
I literally watched the first video with Loxix yesterday
