Are we not gonna acknowledge the "Follow my Light" name combined with the worker skin with the headlight? On a Lanturn team! I like that guy, he funny.
I was waiting the whole time for the joke to drop, but it never did. I’m still somewhat expecting the joke, but I’m down to praise our new anglerfish overlord.
It’s a good ‘mon. Obviously it’s a meme when Lanturn Gang calls it S-Tier, but it’s a solid pick on some styles. Definitely nowhere near a joke. As the guy who wrote the “Last Move” thread I can say that a lot of stuff surrounding the ‘mon has been a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it’s a legit pick.
This revolution has been such a fun thing to be a part of. Lanturn Gang for life. Awesome vid as always, this really does the mon justice. Also, Screech is indeed a bit much on the “Last Move Thread” and probably shouldn’t be on that list in retrospect, but at the time people were pretty high on the idea of Screech+Dug to remove the biggest Lanturn counters, leading to me listing it as an option. I think that Screech and Swagger were born out of the fact that it was something like day two or three of Lanturn and none of us were sure of how gimmick-reliant Lanturn would be and what it would use in terms of team support. I’ll make sure to go back and edit the post and add more modern comments on the ‘mon.
shoutouts lanturn gang, this is probably preaching to the choir but the discord is the best place to be if youre interested in old gens or want to learn more
Such great offensive pressure. When I use to use Lanturn in ADV it was a Toxic/Rest set trying to Stall the game (back in my time every team had a Blissey at least). Hydro Pump makes a huge difference. Great discovery.
Something extra cool that wasn't even shown off in these battles is that not only does Volt Absorb give an immunity to electric, it also restores HP, and with an already huge HP stat defensive sets especially could become a massive headache to play around.
Lanturn's one of my favorite pokemon, as someone who dumps hundreds of hours into replaying gen 3 games. Seeing it do good in competitive play is super encouraging :D
Lanturn has a niche, but its utility is heavily limited to certain team-matchups. It also depends on teammates and generally struggles to fit on teams well. Unless it runs rest, it dies to toxic. It also requires Spin support, or spikes will end it. Hp grass is pretty common on the some Pokemon it switches into (i.e. Zapdos, Jolteon). And of course, a water pokemon weak to EQ is very disconcerting, and so you need to fill another open slot on your team with a decent a bulky rock resist if you ever plan on switch into physical offense. Overall, it will probably just remain UUBL, but it can be useful if you really need an offensive wall to Starmie and Cune.
I used it in DPP as well because it does so well against bolt/beam coverage, tbh it’s actually probably a little stronger in RSE because there’s no draco meteor to snipe it
I always liked to occasionally use Lanturn against friends, but thought that it lacked an evolution, because the only thing holding it back from being a regular water pokemon in teams, are its stats, since the combinations of types, ability and moves that he possesses are really good for ADV OU.
Lanturn feels a lot like seismitoad in that it’s stats are ok but having more than one immunity is great. Also obviously not a brand new idea but gotta comment for the algorithm
After 11 months, is Lanturn still kickin’? Even if it’s not worth a follow-up video, I’d still like to know if Lanturn is a real part of the meta now, is considered niche, or has completely fallen off…
has never really taken off as far as i can tell, i follow many tournaments and have never seen it used. but it has undeniable potential, much more than most non OU mons imo. sad that it's basically reduced to a trade mon in a dugtrio match up unless you're running sub
Are you going to make a video going over all the BL and UU pokemon and why they can’t quite make it in OU or niches they might have? I’ve always been curious about Dragonite in particular.
kyscojastar I mean yea, but there are some small advantages that must exist even if it is outclassed. I’m just curious if there is any situation where you could make it work.
DNite isn't bad. It's way too good for UU, but it's outclassed by Mence and will never make OU useage. You can definitely make a banded set work. It has a nice movepool.
Lanturn of nowadays: PU Lanturn of ADV: S++ in OU Lanturn according to its pokédex: www.reddit.com/r/CharacterRant/comments/62zfph/move_aside_pokedex_magcargo_gardevoir_and_machamp/
Would a Sap Sipper Goodra and Volt Absorb Lantrun be a decent doubles team? Would need to find someway to neutralize the ice and fairy weakness, to Goodra but hell these are questions for later
Might be a stupid question, but why do you still play older metagames, when theres new ones out? I'm not asking to be mean or anything, I'm genuially interested!
a metagame being new doesn't necessarily mean more interesting/fun. it'd be a waste to no longer play great metagames just because they're no longer the most current.
I've been on Lanturn gang for a long time. It's typing and bulk is too good to not be at least useable. Only problem is that I'm not very good at ADV. But this boi been good.
I’ve been beating lanturn teams with the a jynx team I got from smogon but it’s probably because it’s still experimental, love the mon though and it’s usage is awesome
All pokemon have a purpose the only reason they are lower tier is because people just havent found it yet (Unless its pre evolutions like Chansey or Gothorita)
I've always thought Lanturn was the best in-game Pokemon in ADV. No Duggy and it beats Maxie, Wallace, Juan, most of Steven's team, Glacia and most of Drake's team, all by itself.
It wouldve been fun in nuzlockes if only the devs didnt make the underwater places essentially a singular heckin 'route' so u can only have either clamperl, relicanth, or chinchou
Heracross doesnt need it. He can threat electric types with it but jolteon is so fragile that a megahorn always kill and Zapdos doesnt mind eq at all and Magneton usually doesnt want to stay on herragross cz of fighting type attacks. You usually want to hit Ttar with fighting tyoe attacks instead of eq. You see there isnt much use for earthquake. You can hit Metagross harder but its mostly not close to onehit ko and thats why megahorn or other strong attack also 2 hit ko's.
The first several times I ran into lanturn it was just confuse ray bullshit. I'm really happy that it's legit though (and I've been using it a little while now) because it's one of my favorite pokemon
"Uh-oh, Lanturn comes in" better be a recurring line in "How GOOD was Lanturn ACTUALLY?"
I'm waiting for that video
How BAD was Lanturn ACTUALLY?
This mon sucks just like BKC’s discord server. Has an ok niche in adv and nothing else.
@@xeronoobmaster6984 you know FSG covers all tiers including lower tiers which lanturn was probably good at
This guy got beaten up by a lanturn while wielding a team of 6 mega rayquazas
@@xeronoobmaster6984 lanturn was good in gen 7 pu, and im sure some other lower tiers too
I guess this means you have to rewrite the script for the ADV section of Lanturn's competitive history. XD
imagine ever sending in the pokemon Starmie in the 2020 Lanturn metagame
Truly insane.

Its kind of the same history for walrein that was in UU, thought to be a bad defensive mon, turned out offense is where it plays its best
I cant believe this vid is 2 years old
shoutouts lanturn gang, this is probably preaching to the choir but the discord is the best place to be if youre interested in old gens or want to learn more
This and the one time it apparently showed up in VGC, Lanturns always been waiting to light up the way.
"Follow my Light" > miner sprite + Lanturn in the team, thanks to this person
Ah yes, I bet SuperEpicAmpharos would be proud to see his mon getting this much attention. I sure can't wait until FSG covers up Lanturn!
Such great offensive pressure. When I use to use Lanturn in ADV it was a Toxic/Rest set trying to Stall the game (back in my time every team had a Blissey at least). Hydro Pump makes a huge difference. Great discovery.
Lanturn is such a cool and unique Pokémon so I'm glad it's finally getting the love it deserves.
Something extra cool that wasn't even shown off in these battles is that not only does Volt Absorb give an immunity to electric, it also restores HP, and with an already huge HP stat defensive sets especially could become a massive headache to play around.
Lanturn's sprite looks like someone who knows they're about to cause Problems™️ for the other player.
Lanturn is from the streets of Chicago he grew up with chief keef on o block
These battles make it look like he's a budget pick in a draft league
I love this thing, water/electric is really cool and I just really like it's design
Oh and BTW, Chinchou has been really popular on GSC NU, maybe in the future, you could make a video about that.
Lanturn's one of my favorite pokemon, as someone who dumps hundreds of hours into replaying gen 3 games. Seeing it do good in competitive play is super encouraging :D
We all should welcome our new Anglerfish overlords
This is my new favorite video
I've been using Lanturn in gen7 OU for a month. Great utility and typing

Totally agreed.
Ive always love lanturn im so happy for them
this is very fascinating
Lanturn’s one of my favorite Pokémon, so to see it get any competitive recognition is awesome :)
A year passed now. Tell us, BKC, do u believe Lanturn is still worthy any attention in advance?
This thing is one of the best pivot ever graced the games
Thank you based Lanturn
Great typing and great ability, those traits alone make it good
Superepicampharos is :goat:

SOUTH GANG
It may be in a generation from almost 2 decades ago but my boi finally became viable
I remember when you went by Blazin Kicking Chicken. You grew up on me man. Look at you now lol
Tha money got different
Look at Lanturn man, so inspirational
Shout out SEA! Lanturn is pretty fun though. Very interesting mon.
I always liked to occasionally use Lanturn against friends, but thought that it lacked an evolution, because the only thing holding it back from being a regular water pokemon in teams, are its stats, since the combinations of types, ability and moves that he possesses are really good for ADV OU.
Boy does this just remind me of the grim reality of Elektross being so mediocre while having so much more potential. but the LAMP prevails in ADV
Lanturn feels a lot like seismitoad in that it’s stats are ok but having more than one immunity is great. Also obviously not a brand new idea but gotta comment for the algorithm
Lanturn only has one immunity.
Beta 511ee oh shoot you’re right. For some reason I was thinking it had access to water absorb and volt absorb

Today its ADV, but tomorrow it will be current OU...
I used Lanturn in Gen 8 for some reason (probably because of this) and i reached the mid 1600's with it
Shoutouts to SEA!
Cool to see a unique pokemon finally get some attention
been spamming a lanturn special offense team on ladder. still feels good, except when you get thunder waved through volt absorb :(
Always knew Lantern was underrated. Not a lot resists bolt/beam.
Lanturn legit looks like a niche but legitimate pokemon
Are you going to make a video going over all the BL and UU pokemon and why they can’t quite make it in OU or niches they might have? I’ve always been curious about Dragonite in particular.
Because why would you run Dragonite when it has little to no advantage over Salamence
kyscojastar I mean yea, but there are some small advantages that must exist even if it is outclassed. I’m just curious if there is any situation where you could make it work.
DNite isn't bad. It's way too good for UU, but it's outclassed by Mence and will never make OU useage. You can definitely make a banded set work. It has a nice movepool.
the niche dnite has over mence is cb focus punch doing 55-64% to no bulk pert (iirc) while mence does less than half with any cb move
Anyone know if there's any good narration videos of Lanturn games from this time?

I've been on Lanturn gang for a long time. It's typing and bulk is too good to not be at least useable.

Someone get somebody to use this in the last few rounds of Callous Invitational.
False swipe gaming needs to do a video on lanturn now
Ahhhhhggg that sexy nostalgia music thooo... i know, not the point of this video. But. I just fucking love pokemon music man.
Lmao I used to run Lanturn as a sp def defensive option on gen 8 rain, glad it's seeing usage in other tiers.
I’ve been beating lanturn teams with the a jynx team I got from smogon but it’s probably because it’s still experimental, love the mon though and it’s usage is awesome
