      Maybe it also exists as a soft counter to Ditto?

      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.

    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).

    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.

    @ihavethebrainofarat2309 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

    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.

    • @a.v.y8331
      @a.v.y8331 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      yveltal was not only an incredible caly-s check, it also kept ndm from wreaking havoc. like freezai said, one of the big reasons ndm is so fearless this gen is that yveltal isn't around to keep the peace. once caly-s got released in gen 8, yveltal was at close to 100% usage on teams due to its ability to keep caly-s and ndm from getting out of control.
      there are also almost no sucker punch users sturdy enough to contend with ubers top threats. you have your frail sucker punch users like chien-pao and darkrai, but they really can't do anything else besides sucker punch twice (with sash) and then get blanked anyway because of tera. or, you have kingambit who can actually contend with the power level, but it has fewer entry points and is much less able to freely express its power because it's a guaranteed 2HKO by any unboosted neutral hit from a premier offensive threat.
      there are almost no dark types able to contend with ubers power level this gen, so sucker punch takes a back seat. there are also very few ghost types able to break into ubers unlike some other generations, so dark type coverage is much less useful. gambit functions as a meaningful barrier to caly-i and a vague response to ndm, as well as a very decent response to tera fairies and arceus fairy, but it's a very easily exhaustible resource. so you're going to get very few sucker punches/iron heads out of it.
      most players would rather forego the iron head/sucker punch viability of gambit and take much bulkier/more powerful threats against these pokemon. like, ndm and zacian-c beat caly-i, so why not just use your ndm/zacian-c? tera fairies and arceus fairy all can be answered with threats like zacian-c, ndm, ho-oh, and eternatus (depends on set and which pokemon tera'd). or, you can break through a lot of these situations with the pure power of koraidon and miraidon as well, depending on team core.
      also I really need to say, the level of miraidon's power in ubers is crazy. arceus-ground, gliscor, lando-t, ting-lu, and clodsire would all drop by at least one tier of viability if it wasn't for miraidon. these pokemon do in fact all have more roles and functions than just being a miraidon check, but the main reason most of them have a proper entry point at all is being able to blank an electro drift and then live at least 1 draco meteor. otherwise, the sheer power of pokemon like e-killer arceus or caly-i switching into them is very much not worth the risk. koraidon can at least be mitigated with checks like zacian or ndm, which are already top threats in their own right, but miraidon necessitates bringing specific pokemon that can take advantage of their immunity to either revenge kill, set up hazards, or threaten it out.

    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.

    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.

      @kingwailord4143 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      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.

  • @danielhale1
    @danielhale1 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    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.
