a fellow man who has to live the struggle. she’s my favorite too because of the pokedex entries being raw af and really cool, her design is gorgeous, and psychic types are underrated. but i can’t *say* i like her cuz i’ll just get labeled as a degenerate instantly.

fun fact: bruxish is based on a fish called the reef triggerfish, or the “humuhumunukunukuapua'a”. it looks just as stupid in real life, and i didn’t care too much about bruxish- until i learned this. in a little show called octonauts, they taught us about this fish, giving it a special place in my heart. does it look stupid? yes. is it a fish with teeth? yes. but i still love him.
I know it because of a Toy Story short where they went to Hawaii and Mr. Potato Head DRILLED that name into my brain. So when Bruxish was announced I was very happy, plus it’s my EXACT brand of garish and unnerving. For those curious, it’s pronounced “hoomoohoomoonookunookuahpoowah-ah”
It makes the stream insanely rewatchable as well. I tuned in when he initially ranked them all on stream, and watched it again before this video came out...and then watched the stream over the course of a few days at work 🤣
the difference is a fish just flops around; which is funny and a bull is not and remoraid is just a fish....again....which is not funny magikarp also has splash(does nothing) and a funny gimmick where he learns nothing but tackle and flail at lvl 40 which is another gimmick that you can build a team around to sweep with a "useless" fish....which is funny (im not including egg moves or event moves, as funny as hyperbeam on karp is), magikarps shiny form is also really nice also if we're going to talk about just a fish...again....again, feebas circles around from being not funny to a pokemon i actively hate for being just another magikarp but worse(design wise) and only pick up purely cause i love milotic so much
“I’d like to place him next to Staraptor, but finding an individual Pokemon on this tier list sounds like an impossible feat” He said while hovering right next to Staraptor
He's also one of the best HM users when paired with Dragonite in Gen 2. Flash/Cut/RockSmash/Dig (or Sweet Scent) on Parasect, Strength/Waterfall/Whirlpool/Fly on Dragonite, then just put Surf on your main Water Pokémon of choice.
@@mr.stuffdoer8483 Yep. Gen 1 was very poorly coded and balanced. For example, Ghost attacks did nothing to Psychic Pokémon, and the only Dragon-type attack always did 40 damage regardless of weakness.
Eevee is my favorite pokemon, but I do understand how they have become a franchise icon so it can be pretty easy to lose your love for them. I just love how cute and fluffy Eevee is, and that they can change into so many types. BTW: my favorite Eevee evolution is Umbreon
Eevee becoming my absolute favorite pokemon snuck up on me. I've always liked it, but gen 6 rekindled a lot of that love through the amie. Seeing the other eevolutions there sold me on most of them. I used to like espeon more until I saw umbreon in Y. It's honestly very close between leafeon and umbreon being my favorite eevolutions.
I like how each different gen has their own music instead of one continuous song. It really separates the generation and makes it special. It's very nostalgic.
Before I state my opinion I just gotta say that I love how fast paced this video is with the editing. Meganium looks like just a walking vegetable to me so I totally understand why you'd want to eat it and Marill was literally a meat shield for a nuzlocke I did once so it definitely has puntable energy. I feel like I could kick it like a football and it'll smile all the way as it flew. If you felt nothing for Grovyle before (which I can't see how you wouldn't cuz he's so cool and has a laid back expression) Explorers will make you feel something. And that is a fact.
i'm not gonna pretend to be mad that you put arcanine in JUST "AWESOME" considering it's the best goodest boy to exist i'm gonna be actual mad what the fuck
It's crazy how experiences with a Pokemon can do a full 180 on your opinion of them. Like I could not care less about Mothim and Golduck before Legends Arceus but I found their shinies and got super attached to them. Hypothermia the shiny Golduck ended up being the most powerful member of my team.
Yeah, legends arceus really changed peoples thoughts on certain pokemon. Parasect is a perfect example. Most people didnt care for it but now most hate it and are terrified of it
I never gave a shit about Golduck either until I WAS ONE in Mystery Dungeon DX and started loving it. Think my first ever level 100 Pokémon in any game ever
Same thing happened with me and Drifloon in Pokemon Reborn, I reset on a certain event not liking the stats I got on it, and when I got into an encounter with them again, not only was it shiny, but it also came with pokerus, needless to say that I now value her just as much as my starter.
Yup. Used a Leafeon in Legends Arceus, and now I appreciate the cute little leaf cat a lot more now On the other hand, I have a hatred for Fearow and Heracross because each of them have killed pokemon in my nuzlocke
Glaceon, Milotic, Gardevoir and Chandelure are peak Pokémon for me. I think it's the elegant designs and cries, as well as some personal attachment. Grew to love the Gardevoir line because it was my first Pokémon I caught miraculously, and the Airalin comics. Love Glaceon due to one my friend trading me back in Diamond that I still have (her name is Evoli; Timid nature). I also like the more lean and speed-oreiented 'mon, so Quilava, Pikachu, Sneazle, Buizel, etc are up there. Of course, Lucario, Lapras, Snorlax, Lopunny, Mawhile, Braixen, Torterra, Chespin, Emolga, Joltik, Staraptor, Sylveon, Luxray, Lillipup, Lunala, and Primarina, are up there as well.
Honestly, massive respect gained for Quilladin. I love the little lad. He's so goofy and the amount of hate he got just made me love him even more than I previously did.
Me and Stunfisk. I started liking him ironically because of the bacllash he got, but then I started using it and realized how awesome he actually is. I popped off when I found Galarian Stunfisk

i love cacnea specifically because of that one episode of the anime, when James recognizes he isn't a good enough trainer to teach his cacnea a move it wants to learn, and so he gives it to another trainer. It made me cry. I like wooper and quagsire because of the "acquire the sire" meme
I love that he generally ranked every pokemon subjectively on how much he likes them, and then ranked azelf based on its extremely good niche in gen 4 singles very-lead-inclined meta
My appreciation for Sawk and Throh skyrocketed once I realized their patterns look like quilting, implying their names reference sock puppets and throw pillows in addition to their fighting styles.
I find him mostly just hypocritical because he's been down bad for Lola bunny, and I think P5 Makoto too. I still remember his "I'd risk it all for Lola bunny" tweet

Remoraid was originally meant to be drawn like a hand gun but got modded because it's a children's game and then Octillery was meant to have a general helmet and be in a lil tank. They would have been so coooool.
"I'm gonna submit myself as kinda straight. (Shows Bi Flag)" I'm happier about that gag than I should be. I really liked it. I'm bi too that's probably why.
Happy to see Avalugg get some love in this list, personally they're in my top 10 through sheer audacity alone being able to tank physical hits better than *fucking Steelix* for no good reason. I love my ice table. Also, if you care for competitive singles in any way, to those disappointed by Vikavolt's lack of speed I highly recommend running a defensive spread with Volt Switch, Bug Buzz, Roost and your choice of Sticky Webs, Toxic or Thunder Wave. It does especially well in Gen 8 OU for some reason. Personally I landed on an ev spread of 88 HP 196 Def and 224 Sp.atk with a Modest or Bold Nature, but I've gotten mileage out of 252 HP and def with 4 in Sp.atk with a Bold nature especially as a Kartana switch-in as Kart does ~20-30% max or ~50-60% once with knock off and you ohko with bug buzz unless they're either focus sash or assault vest, which they're probably not.
At 19:55 he rates Lotad highly because he can drink out of him, which he says he looks for in a Pokemon, but he rated Miltank lowly for the same reason 🤔
I came into this video thinking ‘If luxray isn’t A tier or more i’m gone” then this bastard goes and puts him in peak pokemon tier and now i’m here forever.
The PLA Shiny noise snapped me right awake, thank you for that bit of Pavlovian magic. Also am I really the ONLY person out there who likes Bruxish? The colors are Summery, it’s a fun twist on their IRL counterpart, they have some nice personality… I honestly miss them and hope they return to S/V.
Yes. You, out of the 7.whatever billion people on this planet, are the ONLY ONE who likes Bruxish. this is not hyperbole no one likes that stupid thing
Lucario is peak pokemon, but because gamefreak doesn't know how to cool it with the constant shoving him into anything pokemon related people tend to hate him for no reason. Lucario is awesome gamefreak just suck at handling anything popular really. If the people like something it doesn't mean they wanna see it EVERY single time you wanna announce something all it does is lose the intrest of people who like set thing.
I'm so impressed with this video, first Jacobs knowledge competetively as well as just his reactons of just "yeah hes cool" combined make for a super nice and interesting list. And the edeting.. just the way he did something visual for almost every single Pokemon, as well as him cutting down what he says so its just one sentence after another with no pause is just super pleasant to watch. No doubt my favourite tier list video of all time.
32:43 You’re not the only one who thought that. In a Pokémon based Tabletop game I play the DM made a spamton Porygon Z encounter and it was pretty funny.
Gotta respect the time that not only goes into recording videos like this, but editing them as well. All the quick cuts and sound effects were really funny to me! I liked it!
It's funny to me how Alpha refers to the tapir-inspired Pokemon Munna and Musharna as fetuses yet the comparison is not made with the Reuniclus line, which is literally growing from a single cell.
Bulbisaur has forever been my favorite Pokémon, and the validation I felt when alpha said he liked bulbisaur more than charmander was surreal. Bulbisaur gang rise up!
I was wondering why everyone brought up Vaporeon even back then when the smash or pass thing was popular. This video made me finally google what was the deal with and man do I wish I stayed innocent.
16:18 it's funny how you say remoraid and octillery are just a fish and an octopus, because the original designs were a fish gun and an octopus tank and looked sick but they were too violent for Pokémon so they made it just a fish and just an octopus.
I love bastiodon, for my first ever pearl run I had a bastiodon that was like 20 levels under leveled in the final four but it still tanked about 10 or so hits, always allowing me to fully heal my team
Alpharad is actually great, the fact I can watch an hour of just talking about each pokemon and it’s still phenomenally entertaining is what makes a good content creator
Bruxish is my least favourite as well

The Octonauts theme is almost as cool as the High School Musical 2 song Humuhumunukunukuapua'a.

Cool Hisui tier list Alpha, if only I could see it without the video links blocking it.
I've been grinding for shinies in Arceus recently, and the sound effect at 0:01 gave me a heart attack.
I'm not even playing arceus right now
I'm glad I'm not alone on that one.
Although, I don't grind, I find.
Same but I was on the wild
Making it this fast is a good way for people to lose track of your opinions and not get mad at you! Good job!
Editing this video must have taken FOREVER. Props to you, Jacob (or just the person who edited the video).
Remoraid was originally meant to be drawn like a hand gun but got modded because it's a children's game and then Octillery was meant to have a general helmet and be in a lil tank. They would have been so coooool.
19:02 “Marshtomp, he looks deranged, and I like that. He just looks like he sh*t his pants and didn’t realize”
"I'm gonna submit myself as kinda straight. (Shows Bi Flag)" I'm happier about that gag than I should be. I really liked it. I'm bi too that's probably why.
Hey same lmao
Same boat.
Hello fellow bi guys
He actually came out in a mario maker episode on alpharad plus

Happy to see Avalugg get some love in this list, personally they're in my top 10 through sheer audacity alone being able to tank physical hits better than *fucking Steelix* for no good reason. I love my ice table.
Also, if you care for competitive singles in any way, to those disappointed by Vikavolt's lack of speed I highly recommend running a defensive spread with Volt Switch, Bug Buzz, Roost and your choice of Sticky Webs, Toxic or Thunder Wave.
It does especially well in Gen 8 OU for some reason.
Personally I landed on an ev spread of 88 HP 196 Def and 224 Sp.atk with a Modest or Bold Nature, but I've gotten mileage out of 252 HP and def with 4 in Sp.atk with a Bold nature especially as a Kartana switch-in as Kart does ~20-30% max or ~50-60% once with knock off and you ohko with bug buzz unless they're either focus sash or assault vest, which they're probably not.
Now I'm gonna call them ice tables, thanks
I respect competitive Pokemon like it's another language

At 19:55 he rates Lotad highly because he can drink out of him, which he says he looks for in a Pokemon, but he rated Miltank lowly for the same reason 🤔
Yeah but lotad is a literal cup, how cool is that
Milktank on the other hand is cow tits
I came into this video thinking ‘If luxray isn’t A tier or more i’m gone”
then this bastard goes and puts him in peak pokemon tier and now i’m here forever.
The PLA Shiny noise snapped me right awake, thank you for that bit of Pavlovian magic.
Also am I really the ONLY person out there who likes Bruxish? The colors are Summery, it’s a fun twist on their IRL counterpart, they have some nice personality… I honestly miss them and hope they return to S/V.
I think it looks really cool, but I forget it exists so I've never used it.
Yes.
You, out of the 7.whatever billion people on this planet, are the ONLY ONE who likes Bruxish.
this is not hyperbole no one likes that stupid thing
the shiny noise upon opening the video nearly gave me a heart attack
the incredibly fast pace of jump cuts make watching this video while sleep deprived feel like my mind and body are desynced
"Friend" and "just a little guy" have become some of my favorite ways to describe small fictional characters
The editing on this (especially "Poli-") is absolutely stellar and keeps this almost impossible to pace video feel like it zips along nicely
4:16 I love how he says our channel. I really shows how much a fanbase can affect someone. thank you alpharad.
also, rip old thumbnail.
Lucario is peak pokemon, but because gamefreak doesn't know how to cool it with the constant shoving him into anything pokemon related people tend to hate him for no reason. Lucario is awesome gamefreak just suck at handling anything popular really. If the people like something it doesn't mean they wanna see it EVERY single time you wanna announce something all it does is lose the intrest of people who like set thing.
I'm so impressed with this video, first Jacobs knowledge competetively as well as just his reactons of just "yeah hes cool" combined make for a super nice and interesting list. And the edeting.. just the way he did something visual for almost every single Pokemon, as well as him cutting down what he says so its just one sentence after another with no pause is just super pleasant to watch. No doubt my favourite tier list video of all time.
The misogyny label when you placed nidoking just made my day. I busted out laughing!
seeing rotom in top tier made me so happy, he's a huge childhood favorite, he was my first shiny card lol
Its fun to watch Jacob slowly realize how edgy he is
as a kid i hated primal groudon cause i thought he had soup in his veins like chunky chicken soup
58:00 “Duraludon always felt like it should be a pre evolution”
Congratulations you’re a prophet.
32:43 You’re not the only one who thought that. In a Pokémon based Tabletop game I play the DM made a spamton Porygon Z encounter and it was pretty funny.
Gotta respect the time that not only goes into recording videos like this, but editing them as well. All the quick cuts and sound effects were really funny to me! I liked it!
Jacob’s editing is just getting better and better with each video that he puts out.
this is edited exactly like how my brain formats thoughts and i love it, u managed to keep my adhd ass focused on this for an hour,,,, nicely done
It's funny to me how Alpha refers to the tapir-inspired Pokemon Munna and Musharna as fetuses yet the comparison is not made with the Reuniclus line, which is literally growing from a single cell.
I like emboar because shiny, variety of moves (heat crash, scald, head smash, arm thrust, wild charge, grass knot, poison jab), and overall design
of course typhlosion is alpha's favorite gen 2 starter, the prophecy strikes once again
12:42 did not age well
“Typhlosion is a friend”💀
Houndour and Houndoom were respected, that’s all I care about. They’re like if Shadow the Hedgehog was a good boy. It’s awesome.
Bulbisaur has forever been my favorite Pokémon, and the validation I felt when alpha said he liked bulbisaur more than charmander was surreal. Bulbisaur gang rise up!
13:36 "Pichu comepletly smash" BASED
"How do I feel about the letter 7?" is one of the most jacob lines i know
As a fellow absol enjoyer, I feel much happiness seeing it at the top. The rest of the list doesn't matter
I really like the thought of just putting multiple tiers just for specific pokemon
Holy, Absol and Sylveon are both my favorite pokemon and my respect for you just went through the roof
I was wondering why everyone brought up Vaporeon even back then when the smash or pass thing was popular. This video made me finally google what was the deal with and man do I wish I stayed innocent.
The 1-2 combo of "Misogyny" immediately followed by the Vine Boom (TM) really sent me
16:18 it's funny how you say remoraid and octillery are just a fish and an octopus, because the original designs were a fish gun and an octopus tank and looked sick but they were too violent for Pokémon so they made it just a fish and just an octopus.
why'd you delist it yesterday, mr. rad? what are you hiding?
Some people were having audio issue and the video was mute
No sound on mobile lol
@@mobileempire5446 suspicious.
espurr cracking your top five literally made me so happy i jumped, they're my favorite pokemon thank you so much
I wonder if Jacob was recording him playing Mystery Dungeon. Someone's First Time in those games is always something to eagerly watch.
I love bastiodon, for my first ever pearl run I had a bastiodon that was like 20 levels under leveled in the final four but it still tanked about 10 or so hits, always allowing me to fully heal my team
the editing on this makes you forget its an hour, major props
putting whimsicott on top was the biggest relief ive felt in a while
Big credit to the editor for keeping this fast pass, exciting but summarises all of them
Finally someone agrees that Dewott is one of the best middle stage evos and Cinderace is a great mon
The fact you placed Haunter, my fave mon of all time, in the peak mon section made me happy :)
Alpharad is actually great, the fact I can watch an hour of just talking about each pokemon and it’s still phenomenally entertaining is what makes a good content creator
58:00 "i always feel like it should be a pre-evolution", good news about the dlc!
