      I wouldn't say that has been the case for nearly a decade now though. Like Lando-T was pretty solid in the last few gens but it was hardly the driving central force that shaped the meta. Gen 6 was probably it's peak but after that it was just a good choice to have but nothing overwhelming. Also because most of its later sets where defensive or suicide rocks.

      @@idunnohonestly9519 That is not very accurate. It only had some of the highest usage. But high usage doesn't mean it has the same viability. Generally it has only been a threatening force in gen 6 and 7. It dropped of hard in the later gens though and in gen 7 and 8 it was mostly a pivot mon that brought in the powerhouse mons and not the powerhouse itself.
      For example:
      - In its deput gen of gen 5, it is clearly worse and not as meta defining as Latios, the weather setters, Ferrothorn, Keldo or Excadrill. In todays gen5 ou viability ranking it's ranked 5th in the A+ rank.
      - In gen 6 it fells off quite a bit after its peak and when the generation ended. A ton of mega mons are above it and it is currently ranked 34th in the A- rank.
      - Only in gen 7 and 8 it is still in the top 3 mons of the metagame thanks to its pivot ability.

    My favorite part of the intros are the "And we'll be going over these competative formats" part. Apart from some edge cases, you can tell a lot from how the pokemon faired in VGC. With that in mind, Landerous being viable in every single VGC since launch is crazy and is a testament to how well designed he was from a competative standpoint

    • @skimaskedabi
      @skimaskedabi ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Youre not wrong about whether it is 'good' or not is usually a tell if vgc is grayed out at the beginning.. but that's more because whomever writes these isn't a vgc player, clearly. A lot of the 'bad' pokemon had sets that were/are niche and or risky and so tournament players don't normally run them. For instance there was no mention of Mantine as a bulky tailwind setter that hard walled zacian, incineroar and kyogre and no way to break it with a lightning rod teammate. Did i mention it gets wide guard too? Which blocks spread moves which were a nightmare to deal with in the restricted formats. and while it wasn't everywhere like incin, it definitely got decent play in series 12 since zacian-kyogre teams were *the* most common archetype in the format. I wish they covered the evolving vgc meta outside of major tournaments like they do for singles

If Lando can't transfer moves it might not go so well. Defog and knock off are important support tools.

    P. S. Minor nitpick: as an Italian fan, please try to address Francesco Pio Pero by his full name. His middle name is pronounced pee-oh and it sounds really bad if you read it as “pee”. I don’t like correcting pronunciations but I know some of our names can be really terrible for non-native speakers and this one specifically made me chuckle.

    I feel similarly to you all. I used to find it annoying that he was so omnipresent no matter where I looked, but if anything that's just a testament to how flexible and versatile he is, and a testament to the creativity of the playerbase to find new roles for him to play even when it seems like a waste of time. He is the quintessential good Pokemon, what every Pokemon should strive to be.

    Landorus is like Atlas - for years, it has held the entirety of the competitive scene on its shoulders.

    I find it quiet funny that outside of competitive, you generally hear Landorus being good because it holds back most mons from making the teirs go crazy and how it's adjustable to most team sets. But then I see Gen 5 Landorus, and he just seems like a strong mon that becomes the biggest bully to the mons that try to slow him down rather than take him out.
