"baby terapagos is useless"
marketable plushies enter the chat
I think the question was less so "why does baby terapagos exist" and more so "why does baby terapagos have complete coding for stats, movesets, etc"
Maybe it also exists as a soft counter to Ditto?
If Ditto is faster with Imposter, wouldn't it transform into the baby form before the slower Terapagos uses IT'S ability?
@@arandomcommenter0135 Gimmighoul roaming form has stats despite not being able to be seen in battle. It's different from chest form
@@serpent2776 it's playable
@@AI-DreigonGPT Where do you fight gimmighoul roaming form?
Before anyone says anything like "what about calyrex shadow?" I just wanted to say that it isn't technically in the ubers. it in ag which is basically ubers for ubers.
AG isn't ubers for ubers. It is "Well, we give up no way we can balance this. Go to the frontier where there are no rules."
It is mildly frustrating that (for understandable TH-cam reasons) the name of the video doesn't suggest that non-Ubers legendaries would be disqualified. I think it definitely should have at least gotten a mention/explanation in the video, if only for newer/outside viewers who may not be familiar with the idea of AG.
Its just as a legendary pokemon as every other so still should've gotten a mention.
It only says "Legendary pokémon" in the video though, it doesn't mention ubers
0% usage in ubers, of course it isn't spoken of here
The baby form of terapagos exists to be cute and sell cute Pokémon merchandise. That’s actually it and it’s very smart from GF tbh.
Just wait until I bring my neutralizing gas weezing and it gets stuck as a baby
Pikachu will always be the mascot of Pokémon but Terapogos could be the mascot of the Pokémon franchise in its own right.
So why not a pre evo?
honestly i find tera terapagos way cuter at least and as someone who loooves terapagos always tries to use it on my team i hate the baby form bc if i have it as my first party member and try to auto battle it goes in and out of transformation ever. single. time. it's so annoying
Dialga and Palkia catching random strays for no reason is peak Freezai
GF did them so dirty by giving the much weaker Pressure as an ability. Imagine if they had received time and space themed abilities respectively!
@@sreenaths6829 Wish Dialga got Auto-Trick Room and Palkia got Auto-Gravity.
That'd be cool.
Not sure what they look like in the metagame but I can’t imagine that origin form palkia is terrible, if nothing else it looks like it’d be good on rain surely. Normal palkia though is powercrept to shit, 100 speed really doesn’t mean shit anymore and both forms of Dialga still don’t have a recovery move so those I can understand
There Origin forms should've at least gotten different abiliies like how Giratina Origin gets Levitate, it's half the reason Giratina Origin gets used in the first place...
Multiscale for Dialga and Adaptability for Palkia would've done nicely.
@@yeahman7263 You might as well just slap a Choice Scarf onto Palkia, things have gotten speed-crept even more then they've been power-crept and the boost to 120 speed on Origin is 11 years too late...
Another honorable mention is Kyurem-Black with a usage rate of 9.6% (Rank 14), just shortly below Giratina-O and above Pokemon like Eternatus (one of the BIG 3). While it's not amazing, you have to give credit to my guy who has been struggled for most of it's life being at OU and now holds a solid place at probably the most powercreep state of UBERS that we've seen.
It just needs better physical ice, electric and dragon stab and then it will be much better. Same with Kyurem white
@mandalorianhunter1 Icicle Spear is the best Ice STAB it can get, and some sets run Scale Shot/Outrage
guy would be quad mega ubers if he could still use TR43
@@PrismaAce TM157* :p
Frankly with each new generation power creep will just get more extreme, so who knows if Kyurem-B might become AG in the next gen
2:49 regigigas getting ranked lower than cosmog, a pokemon with 0 attacking moves 💀
Well obviously the tera form exists to make the hidden ability viable: marketable plushies
I have got to say your inclusion of text on move names like "It's earthquake from wish" is very funny. Seeing you get better at editing and adding these fun little jokes over time has been really cool.
hi roofon what's good
@@colin9112 nothing much, I am doing pretty well
Truly a top 10 Freezai video in 2024
True
Be more original
@@gus439says the guy that commented ‘be more original’
Number one is the one where he used Healing wish in first blood😅
@@MrMonkey2150well how else should he have phrased it?
I think part of sucker punch not being as common is a combined result of Calyrex Shadow Rider being banned and Yveltal not existing this generation. Yveltal might as well have sucker punch be its secondary signature move. For those who might not be familiar with Ubers, Yveltal was basically one of the only things keeping Shadow Rider from shredding through the entire metagame in Gen 8, alongside Marshadow and other priority users. Combined with the fact that it got Draining Kiss, and the existence of tera, Shadow Rider (who should've been banned from Ubers last gen anyway) becomes even more absurd, with its greatest counters not present.
I'm most surprised by the fact that Zacian crowned even exists in Scarlet and Violet. It would have been so easy to remove the problem by just not having Rusted Sword available in the games, but no. And the second most surprising thing is that it's not the single most busted mon anymore.
What an intrepid sword nerf does to a mf
It's severely nerfed by the fact that Intrepid Sword only gave the 1+ Boost the first time it enters the field. You now have to commit to offense once you send it out or switch out to waste its attacking prowess, giving it a severe enough risk factor to be considered Ubers now.
@@spookyscarylamppost3431also 20 base attack is huge considering that attack is amplified by intrepid sword and swords dance. It might not seem like a lot but you are losing out on tons of damage. Pretty sad to nerf him like this, they should have just removed rusted sword and kept it the same.
@@07LightlessBase Zacian was still an absolutely bonkers Pokemon in Gen 8 since Intrepid Sword worked the entire battle. That guy made it to AG as well. Also Zacian without the sword is really ugly
Use choice scarf or choice band and you have an even more ridiculous Zacian. No need of rusted sword.
(It's steel a bit weaker with no steel type and weaker stats but +1 choice banded gen 8 Zacian-hero is way more broken than gen 9 Zacian-crowned)
I don't pay attention to Ubers, so I had assumed Zacian was an Anything Goes 'mon. The fact that it's been eclipsed by the S/V box legendaries is a testament to the levels of power creep (as well as the nerfs it received). It's crazy also how Koraidon and Miraidon don't counter each other in the same way as P Groundon/P Kyogre since their field effects don't cancel one another.
Not really, Zacian was hella nerfed.
@@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions Deserved! Also: would unnerfed Zacian just cook Koraidon/Miraidon then?
@@bdellovibrioo5242 1 v 1 it probably already does, the bikes viability is like Groudon and Kyogre so being stacked is like a luxury rather then a necessity.
Though going from 170 Atk and plus 1 every switch to 150 Atk and a plus one per battle makes a huge difference in what it can and can't muscle through.
That job's since been taken over by Calyrex-Shadow, who received a grand total of zero relevant nerfs going into Gen 9, plus Tera letting it clear past the Dark and Ghost-types that were supposed to limit it
Nah gen 8 Zacian is still probably the strongest pokemon ever (except Eternamax Eternatus)
I feel like legendaries without an amazing ability or signature move are being left behind by legendaries with these things. Dialga and Palkia are the pokemon gods of time and space, so honestly, I say screw balance, lets go for insanity.
Lets give spacial rend the ability to bypass protect and hit users switching out, and give Roar of Time the ability to hit consecutive turns in a row, like a future sight that also deals damage the turn its used. Shadow force can become base 150 power, and Giratina can get multiscale.
Power creep isn't going away, so we might as well make the gods of pokemon completely busted.
agreed + these are great ideas for Spatial Rend and Roar of Time actually. if Kyogre/Groudon can get new signature moves after release...
"It will outspeed you and will OHKO you" is such a badass quote for deoxys, Felt its absence in Gen8 so glad it returned
Terapagos' Normal Form exists to sell plushies... I googled its name and it was the first thing I saw.
Genuinely I think its baby form exists exclusively because of the anime. Would be harder to have it wandering around the airship getting into hijinks if it were its Tera form at all times
High Horsepower "it's Earthquake from wish"😂
Giratina O and Flutter Mane are used more then Terapagos 💀
Tbh, terapagos would probably be used even less later on like it is pretty mid.
it was in OU for a while dude terapagos is ass for a box legend
Tbf Terapagos sucking despite being a dlc box legend is probably better than whatever the hell Shadow Rider Calyrex is
@@politoed06 tbh they only need to get it recover and it'll be on par with the others on the list
@@politoed06It was the fastest ban in smogon history
Very sad for Dialga and Palkia - especially because the news forms they got in PLA let them down pretty hard.
"Origin Pulse: Its like Hydro Pump but **Stronger** "
"Extreme Speed: POKEMON GO ZOOM"
Those made me smile. Props to tazprods for the editing!
The editing is phenomenal and it's a very dense video common Freezai W
I don’t get why they made Terapogos a baby form but it can’t battle so why did they give it stats
Does Neutralizing Gas stop it?
Beat Up should be slightly weaker I guess
Merch i guess ?
@@marcoleonardi5403 no
merch and anime maybe
I like how Regigigas has his own category
Ho-oh definitely should have gotten revival blessing
No.
Ho-oh actually looks like a pokemon that can actually use Revival Blessing. Instead of sath like Pawmot
It should have thematically, too bad it was introduced in Gen 2
Just pointing out, there's a slight typo for Koraidon's Orichalcum Pulse, saying it increases special attack by 1.3 instead of attack.
Tera sandstorms my new favourite move
Ever since Gen 8, defensive Ho-oh has been one of my favorite Pokemon to use of all time. Single-handedly one of my reasons to play in Ubers metagames - in a meta full of absurdly high power levels, Ho-oh has long since been a generally good defensive answer in some of the worst cases, such as Zacian-Crowned (even in Gen 8, when he was legal) and Koraidon's reign over the tier. Sacred Fire burns, pivoting, Defog... Ho-oh can do all of it. It's such a nice amount of versatility to have, and Regenerator was the perfect buff to give it before Heavy-Duty Boots. Now a Ho-oh with Timbs is more bulky than Lugia could ever hope to be (sorry, old friend...)
Ho-oh may not be the *star* of many teams, but it's peak consistency and I appreciate all its hard work. It's like the Lando or Great Tusk of Ubers - a defensive backbone that helps anchor your powerful threats.
EDIT: Ho-oh lost Defog and Roost oh dear... at least Recover still exists. Ho-oh also has a lot of niche tech options so I'm sure that 4th move slot will act like a toolbox of sorts for Gen 9 Ubers players. Will-o-Wisp is useful for more consistent burns too. Miraidon definitely proves to be an issue, but Tera-Ground is one of several potential options to answer it, as well as other defensive staples.
Yappppp
If we're talking top legendaries I feel like Calyrex-Shadow should be mentioned, the only pokemon actually banned from ubers
Currently banned that is since Mega rayquaza in gen 6-7 and Zacian crowned gen 8 is still in AG in their respective ladder
@@MastasrasmasAnd technically gen 4 Arceus
It has 0% usage in Ubers smh shit ass mon
@@MastasrasmasSpeed Boost Mega Blaziken went to AG aswell iirc
@@OidhcheLanFala No? Shadow Tag Mega Gengar briefly did in XY Ubers (Pre-ORAS)
Ho-Oh and Kyogre still in the top 10 after seven and six generations respectively. You love to see it.
Great video. I am surprised to see dusk Maine, so high up there. He always seemed somewhat busted, but it was never clear because he was always defensive.
This is an excellent video. I love hearing about Legendaries being good, it really adds that gravitas of _legends_ that makes you feel the power of the titans you're using
Also, the flow of the script + editing in this video is amazing
would love if you did this for previous generations :)
Thank you for the Pokemon Conquest BGM!
I love that you put Pokemon Conquest music ❤
Although not banned, the raidons are the most impactful new pokemon we've gotten to ubers since gen 8 calyrex shadow who made almost everyone use yveltal to counter him.
Love the conquest music in the back
3:56 God I need Pokemon Conquest 2 to happen that OST is so good man
14:25 "CLEAR top pokemon" as Koraidon vanishes into thin air
"Tera-pa-goes" D:
Lmao just messing with ya
10:45 thats so cute, like its just a dog that has no idea how broken it is
I love the use of pokemon conquest music
Nice editing.
Can you make a video on the sleep ban? I'd love to hear your opinion on it.
Seeing Koraidon stare down Rayquaza gave me some powerful vibes. What a legend indeed.
based music choice editor. we love conquest's pugilis battle theme here
Terapagos is pronounced like ,"Galapagos," as in the islands of the coast of Ecuador.
Goat play is talking about how amazing Necrozma-DM is while showing it getting dunked in by ZC
Terapagos - have baby form and its own base stats despite not usable in battle
Koraidon/Miraidon - in-game data have ride form to be usable in battle, but not able to be use in normal gameplay
Pokeathalon music is criminally underused.
Terapagos is a rapid spinner in ubers, I’m here for it.
Very cool. You mentioned that Arceus Normal is ranked lower hecause people choose other forms as well. Where would Arceus rank if you added up all of his type forms? #1 ?
The only other form you really see is Arceus-Fairy so I don't think it'd be number 1
I would believe so normal/ground/fairy see a good amount of usage in top play and water and ghost are decent as well.
Yes
First time I've heard somebody say Terapagos out loud, I've always wondered how people would say it. I say it like Galapagos
Dang, you didn't have to do Palkia dirty like that.
People talk about needing a pokemon that sets Trick Room with its ability, similar to drizzle setting rain. IMO if that would be too powerful, I'd say complicate it slightly:
Terratrickster: "When one of your Pokemon would set weather or terrain effects, instead set up Trick Room"
Or if this pokemon's stats are modified by an opponent, or something along those lines. The version above only works in doubles, and requires pairing with someone else who has a weather effect. The stats version depends on the opponent having intimidate etc, and gives them more power. This isn't necessarily how it HAS to be, but I'd start with that type of nuanced design.
Good video but you got your words mixed up a few times lol. Tera Sandstorm had me thinking that was a move 😅
Darude Sandstorm 😂
1:52 he says terasandstrom hilarious
Curious how often my boy Giratina was getting bodied in this vid
Giratina is genderless, not a boy! And we do not refer to genderless Pokemon as a boy or a girl!
@@Amelia4111 you don’t, I do. That’s my homeboy. Thanks for your attempt to tell me how I use gendered language but I’ll pass
1:53 terra sandstorm like a boss 😎
For the reason why the baby form of Terapagos exists its likely either because the story of the DLC changed and initially you were supposed to evolve terapagos through some means or it just exists fo merchandising purposes.
It's mostly likely like Xerneas.
The out of combat form.
Merch
I'm surprised to not see groudon at all, you mean to tell me a bulky beast like groudon who benefits from sun already being key in the format and gained SPIKES isn't in the top 10??
Groudon is not the best sun setter in Ubers anymore
groundon is doing fine, but struggles with having slightly weak stats. Its a ground type that struggles to check Miradon since it really struggles to absorb draco meteor more then once. Since it doesn't do a great job at checking miradon many teams will opt to take another ground type instead thats better at that job. Groundon also needs to rely on precipitate blades, which is a good move but its inaccurate which makes running groundon less appealing. Finally it has a hard time picking its moves, it needs blades and at least one of spikes or stealth rocks which gives it only 2 slots left to fill in gaps. For example a groundon running wilo wisp instead of stone edge lets oh ho come in completely for free; but if it gives up wisp for edge then it lets Arceus set up in front of it.
Someone said way back in the Garchomp video that Garchomp was too honest for OU anymore. I think that much the same with Palkia & Dialga.
I'd love to see your thoughts on why they're such dishonourable mentions.
I loved the Tera-pog-os storyline of the dlc, really emotional 🥺
i remember when miraidon was conspicuously more used than koraidon, very curious that it changed
Scale Shot is a move of all time
Baby Terapagos is obviously for the yet-unreleased Balanced Little Cup Hackmons 😂
As a Kyogre main since 2003, it pleases me to see the big whale back in front of Groudon and terrifying ubers with water spout
Deoxys and ho-oh are my favorite pokemon
More top 10 videos liked this plss!!!
Since entry hazard damage is based on HP%, does Terapagos take a little less damage from them since it starts the fight in baby form then transform to the main form?
CONQUEST MUSIC INCLUDED LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!!
Yoooo thanks for the shout out big man, always happy to contribute to a video :D
i found the one and only
Looks like kyogre got the last laugh from groudon
Zacian is not the "perfect offensive pokemon" imo, it's hard stopped by a lot of things this gen and it's not gonna sweep. What it is is a weird role compression offensive-defensive mon, that stops choiced korai/mirai from clicking dragon moves and acts as a Ekiller, Deoxys, Flutter Mane, Iron Bundle and Chien-Pao check.
It was the perfect Pokemon until it got nerfed 😂
what if next gen terapagos drops to ou without its tera form? Would it be really good against current mons?
Game Freak really just sees a wave 2 dlc legendary and goes "yep let's give it a 120 BP stab spread move with no drawback"
Imo Koraidon is really good because of tera fire, if you ignore tera, Miraidon is the best.
Tera fire turns your 4x weakness to fairy and your 2x weakness to ice, into resistances. But also you gain a burn immunity on your physical attacker, and gain STAB flare blitz In the sun.
It is because of scale shot that kiraidon surpassed miraidon , they are both insane with tera
Miraidon needs its tera to buff it’s electric moves
Terapagos is definitely better suited to dual battles imo
calyrex ice, NEEDING trick room, over terapagos, is insane and i think well see that pretty soon
Man I feel bad for my boy Groudon
Cool video
Why didn’t they give shell smash to Terapagos?
"Tera-POG-os" --Freezai
Now I interested in top 10 paradox mons
Terapagos is pronounced like Galopagos, as in the islands where Galapagos turtles are found
How this could surprise me? these pokemon are on the thumbnail. I just came to see how looks in scarlet and violet
If Xerneas were added to SV, do you guys think it would go to AG? Because i did the calcs and...
+2 252+ SpA Fairy Aura Tera Fairy Xerneas Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Necrozma-Dusk-Mane: 206-243 (51.7 - 61%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
kids named zacian and ho-oh:
@@howisthis8849zacian is also 2HKOed by tera fairy modest +2 fairy aura boosted moonblast and Xerneas has 18% chance of OHKO ho-oh with thunder after geomancy (not to tera fairy isn't the only tera type she could use)
Is Ribombee still good ?
Love how freezai doesn't go into DeoA's defenses and just shows them. I mean it's pretty self explanatory😂
You didn't have to assault my boy Palkia like that...
Terapagos mostly seems to be used as a utility Pokemon, not a sweeper. I don’t think anyone thinks a sweeper role would be good. Meanwhile, Terapagos has a lot of really good utility moves on top of having large bulk and a strong defensive ability
Kyogre as been out for 20 years, I am turning into dust
I gave my koraidon solar beam because it pairs well with its ability
Day 20 something of asking freezai to post randbats consistently again
I want a Keldeo Paradox Form and a Celebi Paradox Form and after that they could add the Yellow/Gold Gorilla😅
TERA SANDSTORM?!?!?
Man i forgot thebother calyrex is banned and was very confused
I’m curious, what’s the percentage of usage for Arceus for all forms combined? Is it even higher than Koraidon?
All forms of Arceus combined is about 75-80% usage. So yes, quite a bit higher than Koraidon.
I'm convinced he pronounces Pokémon names slightly differently on purpose so that the video gets more comments which in turn pushes the video in the algorithm
If not then you will still get +1 comment from me, ggwp
For sure ('Shedninja' enters the chat)
Next Gen Deoxys-A will get psychic terrain for the most Uber Pokémon of all time
Does neutralising gas not stop terapagos from going adult mode
forme changing abilities (like Tera Shift, Stance Change, Shields Down, Multitype, Schooling, etc.) cannot be deactivated.
You can turn off Tera Shell's effect though.
@@breloommaster12 Ah okay, thank you
Does Terapagos take slightly less Stealth Rock damage because its baby form has less hp?
Whoa, that'a a good question. I would guess the transformation happens before stealth rock or spikes are applied, but now I'm curious...
Makes me wonder if there are any weird whirlwind / roar / circle throw quirks...
13:59 you marked koraidon's ability as boosting sp atk
