DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth. Now Popular does not mean official even though two of the formats I will be covering were official formats being Japan Nintendo Cup and VGC, but it is an indicator of what a good portion of competitive players thought was “optimal” at the time. Also sometimes the Pokemon Battle Historia doesn't provide enough information to talk about certain Pokemon so I add Smogon analysis to make sense of it. This is pretty rare though.
To the people asking why I don't cover Smogon Singles for Gens 1 and 2: It wouldn't really be a history video if I covered those because online Smogon gen 1 meta to my knowledge wasn't actually played until late 2000s. I wanted to cover tournaments/competitive battling that was actually played during the early years of Pokemon (late 90s).
To the people asking why I cover Smogon at all for singles: To my knowledge, Smogon was the most popular format for Gens 3-5 and held a number of tournaments throughout the years. As for Gen 6, I am not covering Battle Spot Singles because there is more information and explanations about sets being used relative to their own meta on Smogon. In other words, there are few written analyses about Battle Spot Pokemon besides the Top tiers and I would like to avoid theorycrafting because it may have a hint of bias (though I theorycraft if I REALLY couldn't find information on a certain Pokemon). The keyword here is explanations. Though I did find statistics of most Pokemon used and most moves used, there wasn't really any explanations on why. Also the few Pokemon I did find analysis of for Top Tier Battle Spot Singles had very similar move sets to the Smogon OU sets anyway.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent and I will not fault you for using evasion or whatever, I just like examining popular tournament formats.

“The dangerous PIKACHU!”
That’s a phrase I never thought I’d ever hear.
I still remember when lets go first came out and I theorycrafted how good zippy zap(exclusive electric priority move that always crit) Pikachu would be if it was real.
My conclusion was that Pikachu would be either top tier UU or BL simply for having one of the strongest unboosted priority moves in the history of pokemon, but wouldn't quite make it into OU due to Lando-T existing.
Also admittedly Pikachu was incredibly dangerous with Surf and Lightball in Gen 2. Technically second only to Mewtwo. If it could take a hit it would have been the most powerful non boosted offensive mon in OU.
Dugtrio went from checking Pikachu to checking Heatran, Magearna, Tyranitar ...
@@AceOfVegas Lol I see you forgot thick club marowak
@@NovaContext - Oh yeah that, but the calc on Thick Club marowak was so strange.
Imagine a punching bag and 3 confused thumbs making it into the tier of divine deities, weather-shifting gods and holy majestic birds.
Only because other mons couldn't run from them😂
The punching bag will survive any attack you throw at it and will swing back with more force u could ever do
And literal god
"divine deities"
less confused, more viben
This Pokemon is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum from Regigigas and Slaking. Those Pokemon are only bad because of their abilities, while Dugtrio is only good because of its ability.

"Dugtrio or we riot" was the best comment. ROFL
honestly super proud of dugtrio for remaining relevant after 6 gens. he's one of few mons to do so without a mega, although he does have a ridiculous ability.
Remaining relevant with terrible stats (terrible HP, no defences) is an outstanding achievement for a Gen I mon.
@@gtpliquid1290 its stats seem terrible but they are perfect for a trapper, super high speed and good attack backed by strong stab. It doesn't need bulk because it has the insane ability to always fight on its own terms, so it is only coming in when it can outspeed and ko the opponent. Obviously would be better if it could hard switch in but really not a big deal. Honestly better being fast and frail than slow and strong. Wob used to get 1 kill, maybe two but duggy can come in again and again because it nearly always leaves an engagement unscathed, where as wob has to take hits.
You should've mentioned this really funny gimmick set involving Dugtrio
Max speed Truant Durant with Entrainment to give the opponent Truant, then eject button so that Dugtrio gets a free switch-in
Arena Trap prevents them from switching out, use Hone Claws during turns when the opponent can't attack and then Protect when it can. Max out your stats and then sweep
This doesn't work against Flying/Levitating Pokemon
@@Oscarus4250 shhhhhh
@@Oscarus4250 still one hone claws at least
Ooh I like this!
And it's banned again... I finally had a nice team going for gen 8.

46 seconds Gen 1 analysis
27 seconds Gen 2 Analysis.....that were the shortest competetive analyseses that i have ever seen in my life...no joke.
I was honestly quite disappointed at this too but truth be told, Gen 1/2 Dugtrio just... isn't interesting.
Although I do much MUCH prefer gen 1 mons being covered rather than later gen mons.
unfortunately the only way to analyze dugtrio any further in rby/gsc is to make up nonsense because sadly it really is just that bad. in rby it can be a silly gimmick, although still a bad one, but in gsc it is just atrociously bad with no redeeming factors besides outrunning and beating raikou, and then proceeds to lose to almost literally everything else.
It sucked, what else to say. Later gens it became a gimmick that when used proper could take out half a team, that strategies had to be run just to counter him. You may say it sucked but if you force your opponent to change their team just to deal with one Pokemon it speaks volume of how good that Pokemon is.
It sucked in Gen 1. In Pokemon Stadium it can get one shot by high end normal moves lol
Clearly you haven’t seen the unown video
In Gen 1 Dugtrio is actually a decent anti-lead and underrated overall. It hard counters Jolteon and Gengar, and its speed tie with Alakazam means it becomes a 50/50 battle. It loses the battle against Jynx, but threatens Jynx with OHKO crit earthquake or normal earthquake and then finish off the job with the pokemon after Dugtrio faints. If Dugtrio survives, he's a great end-game sweeper since he can't be paralyzed and outspeeds almost all of the base metagame anyways.
Can't be paralyzed by thunder wave*
@@gojirarex5138 A body slam (probably coming from Lax or Tauros) would probably OHKO him anyway so paralysis would be the least of your worries.
I mean correct but there are other pokemon that run body slam thatdopnt have stab on it I think atleast

How GOOD was Weezing Actually?
Please?!
Do it because I asked you nicely :)
Too many people are just shouting out Pokemon they wanna see covered. Well, I just wanna say you're awesome for putting all of this effort into the video and all the previous videos. Keep up the good work.
Maxim M agree
Well, that is how he picks them...
Yeah it gets annoying
Based
How good was Magicarp ACTUALLY
Would of been so cool to have a gigamax Dugtrio with 100's of digletts
Or that one cursed figure
Bad until Arena Trap became a thing. Now it's softbanned
Softbanned?
@@MisterSleep1123 arena trap is banned, and without it, Dugtrio sucks. Badly
Without counting Showdown,
Can someone explain me how Smogon's bans work?
People who play the games can use whatever they want. If I want to use a Bibarel with double team with moody for online battles, I can do it.
@@MagitekBahamuto Smogon rules pretty much only applies to Showdown and to players who both agree on it.
Since most people battle on Showdown, Smogon always applies. Few people actually play on the actual games.
Arena trap is annoying when you just play the story. Damn you turfield route 4 digglets
man. the quality of these vids, the detail, the jokes, and the voice! is what keep me waiting for these vids every week. keep it up love them!
Me too. And I don't even play the Pokemon games.
And all this thanks to @BKC the GOAT himself
Same buddy. A good chunk of my childhood was robbed because my parents were against pokemon since they thought it was a distraction. These videos are the best way to quickly catchup over the years on what I missed out.
I no longer have a request my life is complete.

Your life is now meaningless
Dugtrio should have gotten a mega-evolution where it comes out of the ground to fight.
Dugtrio before Gen 3: Outclassed by Rhydon and Donphan
Dugtrio Gen 3 and beyond: Did someone say *_TRAPS?_*
Brenton Taylor Did someone saying Trapping BANNED?
"I love traps, and Magneton!"
@@bryanc1772 only in Smogun, Which isn’t official. They only ban stuff if they feel like it. Weather in Gen 5 was considered fine, Stealth rocks invalidating dozens of Pokémon is A-okay, but using baton pass even in ubers is a problem. I totally trust their judgment, It’s not like two entire types are immune to arena trap and team preview exists
@@Skullhawk13 well first off, weather wasn't banned in gen 5, if a mon is good in itself then it won't be invalidated by stealth rocks, volcarona being one of the biggest examples, hell even moltres had good niches in ou in gen 4 and 5 despite rocks weakness, baton pass has been controversial ever since gen 3, even in ubers a entire game can be lost instantly thanks to stuff like extreme evoboost, two types being immune to arena trap doesn't matter, first off ghosts are weak to pursuit which dugtrio does learn andyou aren't trying to trap flying types with it in the first place and you can't switch out to them while dug is on the field obviously.
When Dugtrio gets 100 attack: let’s hit hard
Let's try to finish off Gen 1.
How GOOD was Weezing ACTUALLY?
@@GrandArchPriestOfTheAlgorithm That can't be true. Because we have 76 episodes in this series (73 if you don't count Gen 1 Battling Explained or How GOOD were Ice types ACTUALLY?) and more than 10 episodes are not Gen 1....
Unless, you mean their are 73 Pokémon to do in Gen 1. In which case, my bad.
Goliath100 Hey namesake.
Goliath100 What?
I meant our usernames are almost the same.
@@GrandArchPriestOfTheAlgorithm I know that.
Levitate, willo wisp, and decent physical bulk, still can't beat swords dance garchomp... Also rapid spin clear somg protect and black sludge is my fave set
How GOOD were water types ACTUALLY
time for another one of these
They do everything
That one series was really good!
Water is a great type. Water Pokemon are terrible. Every time you get a decent Water Pokemon with a decent attacking stat (>100), they always come with crippling shortcomings (Gyarados learns next to no physical water moves, Octillery is a sitting duck, Milotic is a pain in the ass to evolve, Floatzel and Samurott have no coverage but are otherwise good, Sharpedo is too damn squishy, and so on).
Actual good Water Pokemon that avoid these dealbreaking flaws include: Vaporeon, Clawitzer, Starmie, Bruxish, and Golisopod.
Yea I think we need to suggest another one of these.
bring back big blund
How good was the psychic type actually? Bring back the type series, we only have ice!
12:01 WAIT IS THAT A SUPERIOR THAT DOESNT HAVE CONTRARY IN OU WTF
Ironically enough, by not running Contrary it's actually being a contrarian.
How good were Electabuzz and Electivire, actually?
Really curious about Weezing, because it seems it was really good in Gen 3
How GOOD was Weezing actually?
The Game Shelf or venomoth.
Yeah Venomoth did changed a lot with Quiver Dance didn't it?
Would be really cool to see its history too
Weezing I feel would have been very good up until Gen 4 with the introduction of Gravity, and slowly become RU in Gen 5 with the addition of the Smack Down move.
He would likely be a suicidal bomber sort of member, using Explosion, Memento, Destiny Bond, etc. if a Psychic type were swapped in.
Or perhaps a tanky member similar to one of my favorite Pokemon, Dusknoir, with moves such as Will o' Wisp, Pain Split, Toxic, and Substitute.
Overall, I think he was quite good up until Gen 5, then became more relevant in Gen 6 with the introduction of Fairy-types.
Yeah he's PU but he can work in every tier, he completely shuts down a LOT of physical attackers and is a great Fairy check
MangoStarco Gravity and smack down are literally a non factor as to why it became worse. The actual reason is because of power shifting between generations. Better walls came out in gen 4, and better mons that beat Weezing also came out.
Tbh, Dugtrio didn’t need an Alolan Form. It was already pretty damn good, Arcanine deserved it much more.
Honestly, Alolan forms were hit or miss competitively. They were more just for the flavor.
@@webbowser8834 i still want my water arcanine tho
@@omarragy9498 I'd rather an electro doggo
@@Xarthery that is why yamper exists
@@omarragy9498 I'd rather a badass doggo I'd rather have Pichu for the adorableness electric type :3
i remember randomly having a dugtrio on my first team in gen 1 when i was a kid, he was a workhorse
How GOOD was Marowak ACTUALLY? :)
How good is Ninetales actually?
The section on gen 3 Dugtrio really hammers home how fun that format is. The fact that a pokemon with such low basestats and shallow move pool/typing still is such a powerful piece of the metagame.
And it also shows how fucking annoying Dug is
It's a fun format but definitely not because of that lol
I would like to mention that Dugtrio is possibly the best Primal Groudon counter (unless it Rock Polishes). Yveltal going for a slow u-turn and then going into Dugtrio to Z Tectonic Rage is actually a really nice niche that also helps with Dusk Mane Necrozma, and Dugtrio's mementos let Xerneas set up and steamroll a team. Overall, Dugtrio's niche in the Ubers format probably should have been brought up as one of the best P Don countermeasures.
@@lyzder7298 what I meant was it pretty reliably takes out Pdon when a mon with momentum forces Pdon in and pivots on the switch. I definitely could've phrased that better though I will admit. Maybe not a counter but an incredible revenge killer, and can get in with momentum as well (I even ran - speed Yveltal on this one team specifically to outslow 0 ev speed Pdon and pivot into Duggy for free).
How *GOOD* was Tangela/Tangrowth *ACTUALLY* ?
Bad until tangrowth
I love you. Requested since Quagsire.
Who is with me how good was rayqauza actually
Yes, please. Tangrowth deserves some love man.
@@sersmiles1635 I mean Eviolite Tangela is a thing
How good was Beedrill *Actually???*
Icy Peppermint more like how good was mega beedrill because normal one was never good dude
although I wouldn't mind getting a video of beedrill too. it would be nice and its design is good too even though it was complete trash till gen 6 decided to gave him a mega
RinX the mega is a pretty good speed demon with a good typing that gets rid of fairies and dark types. Bug poison is also a good defensive typing, having a quad resistance to fighting, but you can also use crobat who doesn't take up a mega slot, gets access to leech life anyway, and also quad resisting bug and having a ground immunity unless it uses roost. Mega beedrill still has the hand of not being weak to mega mane, which is one of the biggest threats in UU and the reason you're actually better off with beedrill as opposed to crobat. Yeah, crobat gets the better typing but not when it in return gets a weakness to a huge UU threat like mane.
That's a funny way of spelling Mega Beedrill.
Given how powerful Arena Trap is, I'm surprised no one has tried to make Eviolite Trapinch work.
It work on nfe www.smogon.com/dex/ss/pokemon/trapinch/
Too slow
Focus Sash is the better item
How good was marowak and his thicc club actually
the title is wrong
should've been
'How GOOD was Arena Trap ACTUALLY - History of Arena Trap in Competitive Pokemon (Gens 1-7)'
(Gens 3-7) ftfy
Just like how the Magneton/Magnezone video should have been titled: "How good was Magnet Pull ACTUALLY"
Awesome, so Pinsir next everyone?
Poor mans heracross until its mega.Then its god bug.
That's a funny way of spelling Mega Pinsir.
Look at that. An Gen. 1 Pokemon that has gotten alot better after it's first 2 gen. I remember facing one of them in Firered & Leafgreen and they aren't fooling around thanks to there Arena Trap ability and it's movepools.
As of Gen VII, Ghost types can escape Arena Trap and Shadow Tag, making Aegislash extra slippery.
Let's keep the ground types coming.
HOW GOOD WAS GOLEM ACTUALLY?
Let's finish Gen 1's top 8.
such a waste of a video lol golem sucks post gen 1. done.
He did the video.
@@SpicyTurk gen 2 and Alolan Golem: am I a joke to you?
How GOOD was Beedrill ACTUALLY?
Im not giving up FSG
He was right when he says that it picked up usage because now Dugtrio is also banned in Gen 4 OU
I loved catching lv 33 dugtrios in Diglett's Cave. It was a nice 4th pokemon to catch and use
How GOOD was Electabuzz/Electivire ACTUALLY?. Lets see who argues with me about how much they don't deserve a video this week 😂
Until gen 4 Electabuzz was a reliable if under used electric type with a HUGE movepool so he was just kinda "I need coverage"
Electivire kinda sucks because it's a physical electric attacker - it's just me but I prefer eviolite electabuzz over electivire since Electabuzz is more of a mixed attacker LMAO
how good was Electabuzz/Electivire/Zeraora ACTUALLY
Waste of a video tbh, but cool Pokemon
How good was Beedrill actually? I will not give up.
Ariados is a wall against beedrill espscially cause you can teach it psychic
really bad until it got it's mega form, after which it was just ok
Gen 1 Twineedle/Pin Missle OP please nerf.
phnexOice Being good in UU (basically Gen 4 OU) is being really good
In the meanwhile, it (arena Trap) got banned in Gen 4 OU as well. Surprisingly, it is still allowed in Gen 4 UU.
Gen 4 UU is a lot more well equipped to handle Dugtrio due to the power of the Fire/Water/Grass core, as well as the prevalence of Levitate/Flying mons in the tier
It's about damn time! I've been asking for this episode forever lol.
How GOOD were *Tangela and Tangrowth* ACTUALLY?
I want to have this video before I die pls
Love your vids btw
Gotta love that op wall boj in gen seven ou
Hey comrade
How GOOD was *Persian* Actually Please? We should finish off the rest of Gen 1 and while the *Classy Cat* may not be the best Pokemon, it is still decent and would still make a good episode as he is a King of Critical Hits 😀!
yeah!!!! 😍😍😍😍😉
@@raphaelkhoury218 That's the Spirit! Upvote comments that are for Persian and comment you want him as well to increase our chances 😀!
was kind of good in gen 1 with those crits and then power creep came around.
good in gen 1 and then fell off the face of the earth after
In all Gen 1 and Firered & Le afgreen you can catch a Lv 29 Dugtrio in the Diglett Cave. That was a huge deal at that point of the game when your best pokemon are likely around 25-30 if you focus on leveling up two or more pokemon (starter plus you've caught in before the second gym). Then you can beat the third electric gym effortlessly with your brand new Dugtrio. Afterwards its dig move could be pretty handy for you to get out of a cave immediately.
Damn now its even Banned in Gen 4
GEN 3 WATCH OUT
I'd be shocked if it's banned in gen 3, the majority of players are against it and it would be a huge metagame change in an old gen.
I agree Colton

OU in gen 2, there was the Gyarados bait where you'd use a gyara and marowak core where' you'd use Gyara t bait in electric moves giving a free switch in to a Thick club Marowak and just killing something on the spot.
Yessss
OMG yesss Marowak please
i use jolt wak, my marowak knows dyanamic miss, it hit twice then i used earthquake to kill snorlax and win

I love Dugtrio so much. Amazing in ADV and I had a pretty strong Dugtrio in Emerald Kaizo.
How good was Weezing ACTUALLY !!!
Come on. Come on. Come on. COME ON !
It’s been long enough.
Lucien Michel I agree, I honestly really want to know more about Weezing.
Team rocket pokemon please
Here's a general synopsis:
-gen1= terrible (because Poison types got shafted)
-gen2= same as above but slightly more usable with Sludge Bomb
-gen3= really good and ascended to the meta thanks to Levitate + Wil-o-Wisp
-gen4= still good, but lack of reliable recovery made it outclassed compared to new walls
-gen5= another victim of power creep...so it dropped to being "meh"
-gen6= same as above, if not ironically considering the introduction of Fairy types
-gen7= power creeped again almost as hard as Gen5.
yes please
Weezing is hella underrated if you ask me. He gets a lot of crap from anime fans but I like using it as a physical wall even in ru and uu.
YES THANK FOR VID!!
now how about electabuzz/electavire
This is reason why Arena Trap was banned from OU in gen 7. It allowed Dugtrio beat Heatran and Toxapex if they don't have a Shed Shell.
The ultimate troll machine for regieleki
WEEZING AND MAROWAK
I forgot about marowak. The legacy that pokemon has definitely deserves a video.
But that's that's the actual last 2 gen 1 pokemon that had some importance in competitive pokemon after gen 1.
Nidoqueen has seen uses in gen 6 as a bulky scarf answer to salamence & won japan national this year in gen 7 due to Very favorable match ups vs many mons in the meta with ground/poison/ice coverage
Broadbull, Enabler of Uncounted Combos where do you look up stuff like this? Just curious. :)
trainer tower has a lot of it but it's mostly from memory since I follow VGC and watch vods of tournaments from all over the world here on yt & on twitch as they happen as well as playing, the Japan Qualifier final this year was really something, iirc Nidoqueen took all 4 kos on the opposing team in the final game
Now do marowak, also I did not see this one coming, I didn't know dugtrio could actually be any good!
Dugtrio is usable on the now finished vgc 18 Perish Trap teams, however it did not get any placements this year
About time!

how good was gen 7. an update video for any pokemon you have done, but couldn't do gen 7 because the meta was still developing
Yes this is a good idea!
let's wait until gen10 or gen9 to remade them.
Adam Shepherd How bout no, considering a pokemon generation lasts about 3 to 4 years, and a gen 7 update video would be big enough on its own.
Edit: also it's not a remake of every video, its an update with every pokemon that's been done, but doesn't have a gen 7 section.
I would kill for this
Gen 7 is so complex, wish someone would make a decent vid to tell us about it (like kellen did for gen 1)
Gen 7 is lame, and it was design for kids..
Was that "Tyranitar is number one" a Robbie Rotten reference? ^^
Anyway great vid and insight as always!!
funny how dugtrio's attack was only 80 yet it hits so hard

👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing videos as always bro. Show some love for poison types how good was drapion actually?
I've never seen a dugtrio before while playing online except back in Gen IV so this was nice
I just want to say, You Guys are one of my favorite PokeTubers. A fresh format. Silly yet serious. Also...How GOOD was Golem ACTUALLY?
Nate Whitsell been waiting for golem last month so hope get him soon
He did Rhydon/Rhyperior already. They played basically the same role except Rhydon/Rhyperior was way better...
better than cringe worthy, making most collabs other channels with TOP 10 POKEMON MY FRIEND LIKES THAT I HATE or TOP 10 POKEMON FROM ROUTE 44 or some other dumb shit made from pure lazyness
HOW GOOD WAS GOLEM actually?!
If Dugtrio had a better design, Dugtrio could have been one of the most popular Pokemon of all time. It is good competively, is kind of cute, and can be easily caught.
And now gen 3 is the only remaining gen without a trap ban, R.I.P dugtrio. You were cool
Honestly hope it gets banned there lol
you guys do realise that the next video is a patreon pick and should really be waiting to put your comments on that video
on that note how good was raikou actually?
Phipy 182 stop making sense
It's kinda sad that Magneton got a third evolution in the form of Magnezone, while Dugtrio grew some pubic hair on his head.
But its some pretty luscious locks
Think about Butterfree, who was always trash, and didn't even get an Alolan form, despite its rival Beedrill getting a Mega Evolution. At least Dugtrio's hair is fabulous.
Who has THAT kind of pubic hair!?!
To be fair, regular Dugtrio is still better than Magnezone.
I could only dream of having such magnificent pubes
Im really glad you trimmed the fat on these recently but when is Coloseum footage coming back?
Dugtrio is probably one of the very few Pokemon that never had a bad sprite since it's inception. It's original Gen 1 sprite still looks pretty good (the front) and it's Yellow version sprite was the best in my opinion. In all honesty, this is my favorite Pokemon even with it's not so stellar stats. It was very good in Generation1 for the main story and it is the very reason why I love the Ground type.

It was never a good meme to begin with, none of this twitch bullshit was xD
@@Acacius1992 then use a stall chansey in RBY to stall e4 completely.
We did, you piece of bread. And it was wonderful.
Can you PLEASE do Misdreavus/Mismagius?? The first pure ghost pokemon!!
How GOOD was Ninetails ACTUALLY?
Fun fact: Only Shedinja has lower HP than Diglett, and I think our boy must have the lowest HP of all fully evolved ground types
How good was Pidgeot actually
How good was Beedrill ACTUALLY?
yes, I'm giving up on the legendary beasts after 3 months
orcawhale5123 Awful every gen, until gen 6, where it became relatively meh
boosted in gen 7 , mega speed buff
Trash for five generations. It became pretty good with its Mega spamming U-Turn amap.
Legendaries are boring as fuck
TheNameIsMorg4n how so? If they are in OU they don’t automatically become op..
Watching this while EV training an arena trap Diglett with Memento to be able to safely set up geomancy with Xerneas
Cool strategy,and just some gimmicky weakness
Seeing Diglett pop up in gen 6/5 honestly makes me smile
Beedril next
How good was Weezing actually please I been waiting forever
IKR?????
No
6:42 sick flow dude
I'd like to see Dugtrio get a mega or a True Form. In both of which, It climbs out of the ground, Revealing it to be this HUGE Pokemon whose fingers are Dugtrio.
And diglett is the creature's middle finger.
So diglett was actually this giant monster giving you the finger this whole time.
How good was Golem ACTUALLY?
PU
BEEDRILL PLEASE
