Delta sableye does seem to have use as a pivot (the mega anyways) because it resists ALL of grass type's weaknesses allowing safe entry for it while also being able to bait in opposing ground and fighting moves well, this could be really useful for a pokemon that's frail and can't switch in easily like delta ampibom or any flying/levitating pokemon to switch in for free. Still a waste of a mega to use because it's only use is to facilitate switches, but it sounds really fun to use in a nuzlocke. Also it has a really interesting synergy in rain teams due to dry skin giving it free recovery and the fact it can also be really useful for countering opposing rain as it walls water + ice beam coverage.
Your videos are really help me make an team for insurgents, knowing what a Pokémon good and what they actually do .I really wish there were more videos like this for other fan games games.
It's definitely interesting to see how far your voiceover and editing skills have come since the early days. It's a testament to your skill as a creator that you're willing to improve yourself and strive to put out higher-quality videos. Not that there's anything wrong with your previous work, of course, but it does put things in perspective. Looking forward to your next series!
Forget the old editing and audio, this is a glorified treasure vault of information smashed into a time capsule. Most useful material I've watched in a while. Thank you!
fun fact: in earlier versions of the game, delta snorlax could learn leaf blade. that plus belly drum made it damn near unstoppable so it got removed from the current game version but i think it still gets it as the event pokemon in zeta/omicron
I got a lot of mileage out of my Delta Ambipom by cheesing things with perish song and Destiny Bond, a really good use of it that I think’s worth mentioning
I've tried over and over to get into Pokemon Insurgence but when I play Pokemon I always exclusively use new Pokemon or new forms whenever possible, and in Romhacks/Fangames that means I usually fill my entire party with fakemon when available. Every time I play through Insurgence I just sort of get bummed out that a lot of the designs I really like are locked behind post game or are so far late into the game you never get the chance to feel like you grow alongside them or get to know them very well and I just sort of fall out of playing it. The farthest I've gotten in this game is shortly after obtaining Mew because I keep feeling bad about not getting to use the pokemon I like from this game until the majority of the game is already over. I really want to beat the game, I really want to like this game but every playthrough just falls through because of this. This is the only game where these Pokemon are available, and so many of them can't be properly used in a playthrough without doing a randomizer or an egglocke, which each come with severe drawbacks. It's honestly kind of a shame..
In regards to Dunsparce's speed under rain, it's not equivalent to base 90. The base stat isn't what gets doubled, the stat is doubled directly. At lvl 100, a max speed positive nature Dunsparce will have 207 speed, which is 414 speed with swift swim, which is equivalent to 139 base speed. (This is also why like, Pure Power Medicham, which has base 60 atk, isn't just as strong as a Pokemon with base 120 atk, but actually as strong as a theoretical Pokemon with base 169 atk) Edit: oh I just got to the delta Medicham part, so looks like you did figure this out later on
Well, actually, the correction I made about Delta Dunsparce was made after the Delta Medicham video. I guess I thought Swift Swim worked differently somehow? Thank you for this comment! ^^ I'll have to add this to my pinned comment later.
This is a great list. I once did a run where I only used Delta's who end up as either Dragon and/or Steel Types. Than that one was used for making my pseudo Captain team.
I want to say, Delta Gardevoir, who i named Celsia in my playthrough years ago, was so good in my run. Gave her a life orb, and she annihilated so many things, including a reoccurring fight
There's actually a smogon server or something where you can use Insurgence pokemon. There's also another one called Dawn where you can use pokemon from tons of fangames like Insurgence, Infinity, Xenoverse and Uranium, and more.
I found your channel at the right time, lol. Just before this dropped. (Definitely checking out your Uranium vids at some point.) Like someone else mentioned, I'll be looking out for the mega and starter team guides if they drop.
Came across this at total random, decided to sit through it and list some of my own personal opinions because it's fun to do so. Post 2 hour+ watch through: Nice video :). 3:23 Personally I think charizard is overtuned enough to be roughly the same strength as Venusaur late game, but only because weather setting abilities are inherently incredibly strong. 8:05 Personally I would only evolve scyther if it had ice cleats and I was running a hail team for one reason or another, it can outspeed nearly anything in hail (no exaggeration it can get up to equivalent to 175 base speed under the right conditions) On an unrelated note I'm rather annoyed that it doesn't get mach punch. 12:30 You are indeed correct about the STAB options but Gallade's speed tier is much better, i think they're roughly the same. 19:33 And this is why I evaluated charizard higher. Also in regards to the fairy move, by math your fairy move will only get 1.125 STAB instead of 1.5, do with that as you will. 21:35 to those who mentioned this, agreed. bulk up fixing its inferior defense means that it can be A. really tough and B. really strong hitting. 23:11 I initially wrote this off but water steel + water veil is amazing for allowing it to continue abusing its stellar attack. Also swords dance is fun. 25:21 It has so much going for it but its BST holds it back so much. A shame. 25:24 wish it had agility 27:12 This is kinda a classic misinterpretation of speed boosting abilities like swift swim. What it actually does is double the stat, not the base stat. What this translates to is doubling the effect of EVs, IVs, and natures. For example, the speed boost from jolly is doubled from 10% to 20%, With perfect IVs, maxed out EVs and a speed boosting nature it can barely outspeed a mon with 135 base speed under the same conditions. Does this matter? No it's base 70 attack. Just figured I'd explain it because it's interesting to me. 27:46 Shell smash is good, Gorebyss is better without its HA, Huntail is better with it. Crunch being 120 BP is rather strong. 30:35 Mega Delta Bisharp is strong enough, but there's far better megas available. Normal Bisharp is something you missed a fair bit on though, Normal Bisharp is good because it has a series of traits ideal for preventing hazard removal via defog. A. A rock resistance, weird place to start, but taking 6% from rocks instead of twelve thanks to steel type ensures longevity. B. Stab sucker punch and knock off allowing it to bypass its poor speed tier via the second strongest priority in the game and hit incredibly hard otherwise (knock off is 95 bp roughly if they have an item) and C. Defiant. Due to defog reducing the opponents evasion, defiant can double its attack on the spot, allowing it to suddenly threaten a sweep. Alongside defiant boosting you in spite of intimidate, at that point the opposing Bisharp is highly likely to take out a few pokemon, and thus deters the opponent from attempting to remove your hazards. also I don't evaluate this as highly but steel hitting fairy types is nice for coverage Delta Bisharp lacks 2/3 of these things, and is generally just... bad in comparison. 33:13 Metal Burst + Vampiric is a rather funny combo. Shame it doesn't get regular Luxray's intimidate. 35:46 Another thing that magic guard helps with is stealth rocks, which takes a quarter of its HP on switch in otherwise. Its mega is genuinely pretty solid. Competitive is good for similar reasons as defiant, but it lacks the typing and movepool to maximize its effect. Eruption is an absolutely insane off its speed and attack. 36:30 illusion with a large amount of immunities is always rather fun. 38:40 bulky pokemon with no reliable recovery is always going to be bad. This applies to future mons. 40:09 if this got u turn it'd be a solid bulky pivot thanks to regenerator. See: Slowking on Smogon 43:07 Thunder + Supercell is rather solid. 44:16 it's a reliable setter of max spikes and has access to seismic toss to allow it to bypass its attack to hit everything but ghosts for exactly 100 damage. It's rather solid with resto chesto. it's in a similar vein to blissey where it sits in front of you and chips you down. This thing is... strong honestly. Shame it doesn't have proper recovery though. 50:18 Scizor would be hurt. Trevenant summoning a weather that hurts it is... a weird combo. Typing is nice for resisting moves that hurt ice types though. Sacred Sword + Play Rough is a clean STAB combo overall as well. Giving it leftovers seems mandatory though. 51:16 setting weather is worth. 52:48 peak blizzard spammer with winter joy. 56:17 Swords Dance Plus extreme speed makes Delta Arcanine an extreme killer Arceus Lite, but its abilities are vastly better for the job. Intimidate is always nice for bulk and inner focus to block intimidate and fake out is great. This is some A grade stuff right here. 1:00:09 i sincerely wish it got agility because 90 speed leaves something to be desired. 1:04:25 the eternal void of damage with lefties aqua ring and phototroph, healing 3/16 of your hp per turn is insane. 1:10:23 Fast sleepers are always strong, not too deep but it is what it is. without sleep clause to stop it anyways. 1:11:07 prankster on that speed stat does not match well. It could be so good but its stats dont work. 1:14:12 my personal thoughts is that it's objectively worse than regular mega lopunny. Scrappy makes Normal Fighting hit everything. 1:16:06 same deal as lopunny 1:18:03 Amazing typing, stellar ability. Love to see it. 1:19:08 Swift Swim makes it crazy fast and its movepool let's it operate outside of rain aswell. On a good streak so far. 1:20:23 Mega Launcher and 125 special attack makes for a beast of a mon and filter let's it operate as a bulky mon. Also dark + water is incredibly solid. 1:22:27 Flame Charge is absolutely its best move, it needs that speed boost to function. Hone Claws Flame Charge + whatever other mvoes you want is necessary but it's not terrible thanks to its movepool and ability synergizing nicely. 1:25:32 Kabu is a good user of pursuit at least. 1:27:36 Fairy Ground is on the same level as Ice Electric offensively and vastly outclasses it defensively. 1:31:46 Nocturne's best user being Mega Charizard (sorry spiritomb) hurts Mega Milotic significantly. Solid overall though. 1:32:46 if it had speed boost instead of weak armor like regular scolipede it could be solid. 100% agree on it being weak. 1:37:11 sorry chat sableye is cooked 1:38:35 180 attack with priority that can hit EVERYTHING is absolutely insane to me. 1:43:30 that's a fun debate I'd like to add my two cents to. My personal picks among the Delta pokemon is Mega Delta Charizard, Mega Delta Froslass, Delta Medicham and Delta Scizor for reasons I've stated prior. Volcarona is very strong but it not getting Quiver Dance makes it miss its full potential imo. I don't know how I finished this in one sitting. Conclusion: I have played wayyy too much competitve pokemon. Feel free to start a debate over what I said if you want.
I enjoyed my Insurgence playthrough. Wish they threw in the scrapped deltas like best girl delta Machamp. Your slyveon/manaphy is adorable and love their design. Hope to see more from you like maybe elite redux stuff.
Thank you very much! I've actually been playing Elite Redux recently, and I'm enjoying it a lot! I dunno if I'll make videos on it. I'll have to think about what I can do. :)
I hope that you cover fangames and romhacks like pokemon elite redux and other rom hacks/fangames that have a lot of custom stuff and or major alterations to existing pokemon I love how elite reudx adds custom megas, gives every pokemon 4 abilities and adds custom regional forms and even fakemon evos for existing pokemon. But with insurgence done I look forward to what you cover next sylaphy
From what i understand delta crustle cake is one of the strongest Pokemon in insurgence competitive, with it being banned. Also, if you go on the wiki page for it, my buddy posted some fanart for it back when we were still in highschool
I've been waiting for this vid. Thanks for the mention. I'm still on the Delta Ludicolo train - I just love wizards. The dual screens set is perhaps not the best, but it worked well for me and I play the game on Hard without using "free switches" or items in battle. Magic Bounce is just dumb vs ai.
It bet Chlorofury would have a rework that behaves like Supreme Overlord, receiving a 10% additive increase to the power of its moves for each ally Pokémon that is fainted in its party, unlike Supreme Overlord, the user also receives a 10% additive increase in the damage taken as well. Permafrost would inflict the Frostbite status from Legends: Arceus, except its now a volatie status instead, behaving the same way as it did (inflicting damage equal to 1/16 of the target's maximum HP every turn, and it halves damage dealt by its special moves, Ice-Type are immune to that status.), It can be only one Permafrost in a side, the frostbite status is removed if the pokémon switches out. Pokémon with Magma Armor or if there's Harsh Sunlight or Extremely Harsh Sunlight, the pokémon will not get a Frostbite, however if a Pokémon holds a Utility Umbrella on Harsh Sunlight, it will still get the frostbite status upon switching in. If a Ice-type Pokémon that is not also a Flying-type or has the Ability Levitate is switched in, it will absorb Sub-zero field and the effect of Permafrost will end. If a Pokémon is holding an Air Balloon, it will not be affected by Permafrost, unless Gravity is in effect. A Ice-type Pokémon holding an Air Balloon will not absorb Permafrost, unless Gravity is in effect. Permafrost is reflected by Magic Coat and Magic Bounce, Magic Guard will prevent the frostbite damage, but not the halved special attack. A Pokémon holding Heavy-Duty Boots is immune to Permafrost when entering battle. A grounded Ice-type Pokémon holding Heavy-Duty Boots can still remove Permafrost on switching in. Delta Koffing and Weezing would have Punk Rock instead of Amplifier, also Delta Weezing would learn Overdrive as well. Intoxicate gives Normal type moves turned into Poison type wih a x1.2 boost in their power. Venomous could cause moves that poison the target badly poison it instead. Synchronize in Pokémon Insurgence has basically the same field effect as in Generation 8, also No Guard does not affect One-hit knockout moves for balancing reasons. Hubris is basically Grim Neigh, Ice Cleats is also basically Slush Rush, but unlike Ice Cleats, pokemon with Slush Rush will take damage from Hailstorm useless if its a Ice-Type. As Ghost-type pokémon are immune to trapping moves since Generation 6, they're unaffected by the effects of Event Horizon. U-Turn, Volt Switch, Flip Turn, Baton Pass, Shed Tail and Chilly Reception can switch the user out even if it is trapped by Event Horizon, A pokemon holding Shed Shell will allow it to switch out even if it is under the effects of Event Horizon.
if only delta blastoise got shell smash. Dude that'd be insane (probably the best of the 3 since dark/fighting is great offensively). Stab mega launcher moves and shell smash is deadly
Man. It's been years since I 100% insurgence and uranium. This video makes me feel nostalgic. I'm curious on what you think about the crests, and Aevian forms from Pokemon Rejuvenation.
Oh, important thing to know about Crystal Ruinigross, its sort of a promotional thing for a fangame we are still waiting on called Azurite. We will hopefully get the battle simulator for it soon.
I feel like there isn't really a "best team" The enemies are very diverse in what they throw at you, so adapting your team to fit is important, and adding the new mons you get along the way (Especially that one fight that plays by different rules. Dang you ice Dinosaur!)
@@Terrivian_VessInsurgence isn't hard enough that you _have_ to switch out mons, even in the postgame. My second clear run had like, Mega Zebstrika on it and i still managed to beat the game just fine
Kyogre armored Mewtwo 3 crystal shard pokemon Last slot can change I uses zygarde That was my last team at least No megas after venasaur haxorous and some others for fun
kinda wish there weren't so many mixed attackers that just puts points into a stat it isn't going to use also shedinja has defenses with only 1 hp, which could've been put into attacks and speed this might be the only mon i'd be okay with making a mixed attacker if it's attacking stats were better
As someone who has used some of the post-game deltas early on in the playthrough (traded for them) i can say that Delta Volcarona was surprisingly underwhelming. Dont get me wrong, it was very good, but it wasn't the sweeping monstrosity that i thought it would be. Although... thinking back on it, one of my E4 strats for the special Pokenn pokemon was to solo one of the teams with volcarona.
Its suprising just how different a playstyle you get from removing quiver dance from it You can either go for a full tilt, aggro sweeper by using its insane coverage or you can go for a bulky hazard setter with either the armour or black sludge, roost, T-Spikes, Venoshock and your choice of utility or coverage like whirlwind, earth power, knock off or dark pulse (roost is better imo as its more reliable healing then morning sun as well as having much more PP. also lets you mindgame)
I love how you fairies defy physics. The tale of the dragon should be able to smash you into the ground, causing damage, but for some reason you fairy types didn’t take damage from dragon tail.
I feel like Insurgence devs really should've been willing to reallocate stats when making the deltas. Some of these mons just get screwed over by their new type not meshing well with the role the original pokemon was designed to play, and new abilities are often not enough to make up for that(Also some of the mons deserved a little min-maxing to get over their hot-garbage BSTs).
Haha, I noticed on my analytics that people clicked off around that time.. Also, I wasn't really proud of that joke myself. But I'm glad you found it funny though!
@@Sylaphy gotcha. Welp hey it was worth it in exchange for the extra tidbits you gave on the older Delta Pokemon. Well done and I can't wait for the next series
For delta sable I think solid rock Knock off, fakeout, wisp, detect Tho megs is good so you go full support I guess you can run spikes /iron defence / spite Trick too but you need mega Its certainly not good but is usable with defenses Kyogre or haxor mega blow it away as offence. I guess its better to compare this to smeargle? I wish we also got that noctem ninetales
While I do hope she eventually gets back to xenoverse. I think she expressed before that she's gonna drop it cause she wasn't much of the design and function over the fakemons. Her next project is iirc solar light and lunar dark. Of which boy if you think it took her a long time to do insurgence, boy then it's gonna be wayyyy longer for sl/ld since it's a full fakedex of over 300 mons
Let's be honest, delta charmander is just a worse giratina, and considering the monster that thing is in this game, I'd rather pick one of the other starters. I really like dragon types, but... Yeah no. I would like to skip on this one thank you.
I used it my first play through, it was dope until the league and is specialized enough to coexist on a team with Giritina, still your choice just thought I’d led you know
thanks for the compilation! i unfortunately have restricted youtube access so i only am able to use it sparsely throughout the week (with an alternative the rest of the time) and ive been slowly watching as much of this and your uranium videos as i can so one big neat video is very nice during work hours when my youtube works. have you ever thought about cross posting to other sites? there is one i personally use and would love to see your videos there so i can watch them any time but at the same time im not gonna name it unless you have thought of crossposting because i both dont want to seem like a bot doing an advert and also the comment sections on that site can get pretty toxic since its ran with 0 filters so people love to express freedom of speach a little too much
A few disclaimers:
Some of these videos are 2 years old, so the editing and audio may not be that great. I apologize for that.
Because I've switched microphones over the years and used different audio settings, I've had to manually adjust the volume of the audio for some of the videos. I did the best I could, but it may still be inconsistant at times.
Some cuts may be awkward as I've cut out the intros and outros of each video. Also, I've cut out the moveset reccommendations just because I feel like I don't trust myself with that type of stuff. Blaze Kick for Delta Bisharp? What was I thinking?
Hope you guys enjoy the compilation! Please let me know if I'm missing anything! Thank you! ^^

Do you have the name of the BGM you used while talking about Delta Bulbasaur? It sounds beautiful.
Oh wow a 2 hour video about a fan game I’ve never heard about, time to clear my schedule
This is unironically a better movie than Disney has made in years
Fr fr
Excuse me, the FUCK?
Congratulations, you now have a bounty on your head from Disney
This was legitimately the most helpful guild for when i got into Pokemon Insurgence for the first time!
Dude, Insurgence made my childhood. This is gonna be a fun watch.
Your videos are really help me make an team for insurgents, knowing what a Pokémon good and what they actually do .I really wish there were more videos like this for other fan games games.
It's definitely interesting to see how far your voiceover and editing skills have come since the early days. It's a testament to your skill as a creator that you're willing to improve yourself and strive to put out higher-quality videos. Not that there's anything wrong with your previous work, of course, but it does put things in perspective. Looking forward to your next series!
Thank you! I try the best I can to improve my editing. I plan on doing the same for my next series. ^^
You should make a tier list ranking all the deltas. Could be a cool idea for a video. Would love to see your rankings!
I actually thought about doing that! Same with Uranium. :)
@@Sylaphy 100% you should do it!!
Forget the old editing and audio, this is a glorified treasure vault of information smashed into a time capsule. Most useful material I've watched in a while. Thank you!
fun fact: in earlier versions of the game, delta snorlax could learn leaf blade. that plus belly drum made it damn near unstoppable so it got removed from the current game version but i think it still gets it as the event pokemon in zeta/omicron
the commitment to this video is admirable
I’m fixated on Pokemon fangames right now (especially Insurgence) and this video is great!
I got a lot of mileage out of my Delta Ambipom by cheesing things with perish song and Destiny Bond, a really good use of it that I think’s worth mentioning
I've tried over and over to get into Pokemon Insurgence but when I play Pokemon I always exclusively use new Pokemon or new forms whenever possible, and in Romhacks/Fangames that means I usually fill my entire party with fakemon when available. Every time I play through Insurgence I just sort of get bummed out that a lot of the designs I really like are locked behind post game or are so far late into the game you never get the chance to feel like you grow alongside them or get to know them very well and I just sort of fall out of playing it. The farthest I've gotten in this game is shortly after obtaining Mew because I keep feeling bad about not getting to use the pokemon I like from this game until the majority of the game is already over.
I really want to beat the game, I really want to like this game but every playthrough just falls through because of this. This is the only game where these Pokemon are available, and so many of them can't be properly used in a playthrough without doing a randomizer or an egglocke, which each come with severe drawbacks. It's honestly kind of a shame..
That's completely fair! I would've LOVED to use Delta Serperior in a playthrough.. :/
In regards to Dunsparce's speed under rain, it's not equivalent to base 90. The base stat isn't what gets doubled, the stat is doubled directly. At lvl 100, a max speed positive nature Dunsparce will have 207 speed, which is 414 speed with swift swim, which is equivalent to 139 base speed.
(This is also why like, Pure Power Medicham, which has base 60 atk, isn't just as strong as a Pokemon with base 120 atk, but actually as strong as a theoretical Pokemon with base 169 atk)
Edit: oh I just got to the delta Medicham part, so looks like you did figure this out later on
Well, actually, the correction I made about Delta Dunsparce was made after the Delta Medicham video. I guess I thought Swift Swim worked differently somehow? Thank you for this comment! ^^ I'll have to add this to my pinned comment later.
This compilation is sick especially with the added comments for lots of different ones
We are in for a banger that's for the mega collection looking forward to more content of yours to listen to in the future
Been with her since the Uranium videos, yet again another banger.
Haha, well, I'm a girl, but I appreciate the support!
@@Sylaphy whoop sorry lol
What did you think she was? Her voice is clearly female
This is a great list. I once did a run where I only used Delta's who end up as either Dragon and/or Steel Types. Than that one was used for making my pseudo Captain team.
I want to say, Delta Gardevoir, who i named Celsia in my playthrough years ago, was so good in my run. Gave her a life orb, and she annihilated so many things, including a reoccurring fight
Thank you so much for this! Been wanting to use a team of just deltas and I think this video helped me make some choices! :D
This is actually gonna help me in my eggs only run
If Smogon had an Insurgence Gamemode, i can easily see it being fun
There's actually a smogon server or something where you can use Insurgence pokemon. There's also another one called Dawn where you can use pokemon from tons of fangames like Insurgence, Infinity, Xenoverse and Uranium, and more.
I wish this game got an update again. Not much maybe just like... i don't know, a bug Dragon Chespin?
I found your channel at the right time, lol. Just before this dropped. (Definitely checking out your Uranium vids at some point.)
Like someone else mentioned, I'll be looking out for the mega and starter team guides if they drop.
I am very sad I don't get to use Delta Minun in the main story... I mean yea it's outclassed but it's an adorable little fairy :( I would die for it.
Me with delta serperior and volcorana
Man, i remember when i made the nano-repair wiki page alongside crystal rush.
Those were the days
Wow, this is an amazing video. Loved every minute of it.
Aw, thanks so much! :D
Came across this at total random, decided to sit through it and list some of my own personal opinions because it's fun to do so.
Post 2 hour+ watch through: Nice video :).
3:23 Personally I think charizard is overtuned enough to be roughly the same strength as Venusaur late game, but only because weather setting abilities are inherently incredibly strong.
8:05 Personally I would only evolve scyther if it had ice cleats and I was running a hail team for one reason or another, it can outspeed nearly anything in hail (no exaggeration it can get up to equivalent to 175 base speed under the right conditions)
On an unrelated note I'm rather annoyed that it doesn't get mach punch.
12:30 You are indeed correct about the STAB options but Gallade's speed tier is much better, i think they're roughly the same.
19:33 And this is why I evaluated charizard higher. Also in regards to the fairy move, by math your fairy move will only get 1.125 STAB instead of 1.5, do with that as you will.
21:35 to those who mentioned this, agreed. bulk up fixing its inferior defense means that it can be A. really tough and B. really strong hitting.
23:11 I initially wrote this off but water steel + water veil is amazing for allowing it to continue abusing its stellar attack. Also swords dance is fun.
25:21 It has so much going for it but its BST holds it back so much. A shame.
25:24 wish it had agility
27:12 This is kinda a classic misinterpretation of speed boosting abilities like swift swim. What it actually does is double the stat, not the base stat. What this translates to is doubling the effect of EVs, IVs, and natures. For example, the speed boost from jolly is doubled from 10% to 20%, With perfect IVs, maxed out EVs and a speed boosting nature it can barely outspeed a mon with 135 base speed under the same conditions.
Does this matter? No it's base 70 attack. Just figured I'd explain it because it's interesting to me.
27:46 Shell smash is good, Gorebyss is better without its HA, Huntail is better with it. Crunch being 120 BP is rather strong.
30:35 Mega Delta Bisharp is strong enough, but there's far better megas available.
Normal Bisharp is something you missed a fair bit on though, Normal Bisharp is good because it has a series of traits ideal for preventing hazard removal via defog.
A. A rock resistance, weird place to start, but taking 6% from rocks instead of twelve thanks to steel type ensures longevity.
B. Stab sucker punch and knock off allowing it to bypass its poor speed tier via the second strongest priority in the game and hit incredibly hard otherwise (knock off is 95 bp roughly if they have an item) and
C. Defiant. Due to defog reducing the opponents evasion, defiant can double its attack on the spot, allowing it to suddenly threaten a sweep. Alongside defiant boosting you in spite of intimidate, at that point the opposing Bisharp is highly likely to take out a few pokemon, and thus deters the opponent from attempting to remove your hazards.
also I don't evaluate this as highly but steel hitting fairy types is nice for coverage
Delta Bisharp lacks 2/3 of these things, and is generally just... bad in comparison.
33:13 Metal Burst + Vampiric is a rather funny combo. Shame it doesn't get regular Luxray's intimidate.
35:46 Another thing that magic guard helps with is stealth rocks, which takes a quarter of its HP on switch in otherwise. Its mega is genuinely pretty solid. Competitive is good for similar reasons as defiant, but it lacks the typing and movepool to maximize its effect. Eruption is an absolutely insane off its speed and attack.
36:30 illusion with a large amount of immunities is always rather fun.
38:40 bulky pokemon with no reliable recovery is always going to be bad. This applies to future mons.
40:09 if this got u turn it'd be a solid bulky pivot thanks to regenerator. See: Slowking on Smogon
43:07 Thunder + Supercell is rather solid.
44:16 it's a reliable setter of max spikes and has access to seismic toss to allow it to bypass its attack to hit everything but ghosts for exactly 100 damage. It's rather solid with resto chesto. it's in a similar vein to blissey where it sits in front of you and chips you down. This thing is... strong honestly. Shame it doesn't have proper recovery though.
50:18 Scizor would be hurt. Trevenant summoning a weather that hurts it is... a weird combo. Typing is nice for resisting moves that hurt ice types though. Sacred Sword + Play Rough is a clean STAB combo overall as well. Giving it leftovers seems mandatory though.
51:16 setting weather is worth.
52:48 peak blizzard spammer with winter joy.
56:17 Swords Dance Plus extreme speed makes Delta Arcanine an extreme killer Arceus Lite, but its abilities are vastly better for the job. Intimidate is always nice for bulk and inner focus to block intimidate and fake out is great. This is some A grade stuff right here.
1:00:09 i sincerely wish it got agility because 90 speed leaves something to be desired.
1:04:25 the eternal void of damage with lefties aqua ring and phototroph, healing 3/16 of your hp per turn is insane.
1:10:23 Fast sleepers are always strong, not too deep but it is what it is. without sleep clause to stop it anyways.
1:11:07 prankster on that speed stat does not match well. It could be so good but its stats dont work.
1:14:12 my personal thoughts is that it's objectively worse than regular mega lopunny. Scrappy makes Normal Fighting hit everything.
1:16:06 same deal as lopunny
1:18:03 Amazing typing, stellar ability. Love to see it.
1:19:08 Swift Swim makes it crazy fast and its movepool let's it operate outside of rain aswell. On a good streak so far.
1:20:23 Mega Launcher and 125 special attack makes for a beast of a mon and filter let's it operate as a bulky mon. Also dark + water is incredibly solid.
1:22:27 Flame Charge is absolutely its best move, it needs that speed boost to function. Hone Claws Flame Charge + whatever other mvoes you want is necessary but it's not terrible thanks to its movepool and ability synergizing nicely.
1:25:32 Kabu is a good user of pursuit at least.
1:27:36 Fairy Ground is on the same level as Ice Electric offensively and vastly outclasses it defensively.
1:31:46 Nocturne's best user being Mega Charizard (sorry spiritomb) hurts Mega Milotic significantly. Solid overall though.
1:32:46 if it had speed boost instead of weak armor like regular scolipede it could be solid. 100% agree on it being weak.
1:37:11 sorry chat sableye is cooked
1:38:35 180 attack with priority that can hit EVERYTHING is absolutely insane to me.
1:43:30 that's a fun debate I'd like to add my two cents to. My personal picks among the Delta pokemon is Mega Delta Charizard, Mega Delta Froslass, Delta Medicham and Delta Scizor for reasons I've stated prior. Volcarona is very strong but it not getting Quiver Dance makes it miss its full potential imo.
I don't know how I finished this in one sitting.
Conclusion: I have played wayyy too much competitve pokemon.
Feel free to start a debate over what I said if you want.
I got to play a hardcore egglocke to completion with deltas only all because of Delta Aurourus and the phototroph and leftovers. Absolutely sick mon.
Using this video to the people im doing a 4player nuzlocke with and forcing them to watch it so I can sleep peacefully.
As a gen 5 supremacist Pokémon delta has one of the sickest gen 5 Megas ever
Delta Noctowl: No Guard Sheer Cold OKHOs everything that isn't ice type after a Tailwind
I enjoyed my Insurgence playthrough. Wish they threw in the scrapped deltas like best girl delta Machamp.
Your slyveon/manaphy is adorable and love their design. Hope to see more from you like maybe elite redux stuff.
Thank you very much! I've actually been playing Elite Redux recently, and I'm enjoying it a lot! I dunno if I'll make videos on it. I'll have to think about what I can do. :)
I hope that you cover fangames and romhacks like pokemon elite redux and other rom hacks/fangames that have a lot of custom stuff and or major alterations to existing pokemon
I love how elite reudx adds custom megas, gives every pokemon 4 abilities and adds custom regional forms and even fakemon evos for existing pokemon.
But with insurgence done I look forward to what you cover next sylaphy
It's also insane how much they push you to use special mega flygon in this game
Wish I’d had this nearly a decade ago, lmao still a pog video
From what i understand delta crustle cake is one of the strongest Pokemon in insurgence competitive, with it being banned.
Also, if you go on the wiki page for it, my buddy posted some fanart for it back when we were still in highschool
Oh, wow, that fanart is ADORABLE! Props to your buddy! :D
This makes me want to start up this game again. Never beat the postgame
I know what my next video to binge is!
I've been waiting for this vid. Thanks for the mention. I'm still on the Delta Ludicolo train - I just love wizards. The dual screens set is perhaps not the best, but it worked well for me and I play the game on Hard without using "free switches" or items in battle. Magic Bounce is just dumb vs ai.
It would be really cool if you made a video about the alternative forms of pokemon rejuvenation, there aren't many but I think it would be cool
2hr edited Pokemon Insurgence video letsgoooooooooo
It bet Chlorofury would have a rework that behaves like Supreme Overlord, receiving a 10% additive increase to the power of its moves for each ally Pokémon that is fainted in its party, unlike Supreme Overlord, the user also receives a 10% additive increase in the damage taken as well.
Permafrost would inflict the Frostbite status from Legends: Arceus, except its now a volatie status instead, behaving the same way as it did (inflicting damage equal to 1/16 of the target's maximum HP every turn, and it halves damage dealt by its special moves, Ice-Type are immune to that status.), It can be only one Permafrost in a side, the frostbite status is removed if the pokémon switches out. Pokémon with Magma Armor or if there's Harsh Sunlight or Extremely Harsh Sunlight, the pokémon will not get a Frostbite, however if a Pokémon holds a Utility Umbrella on Harsh Sunlight, it will still get the frostbite status upon switching in.
If a Ice-type Pokémon that is not also a Flying-type or has the Ability Levitate is switched in, it will absorb Sub-zero field and the effect of Permafrost will end. If a Pokémon is holding an Air Balloon, it will not be affected by Permafrost, unless Gravity is in effect. A Ice-type Pokémon holding an Air Balloon will not absorb Permafrost, unless Gravity is in effect.
Permafrost is reflected by Magic Coat and Magic Bounce, Magic Guard will prevent the frostbite damage, but not the halved special attack. A Pokémon holding Heavy-Duty Boots is immune to Permafrost when entering battle. A grounded Ice-type Pokémon holding Heavy-Duty Boots can still remove Permafrost on switching in.
Delta Koffing and Weezing would have Punk Rock instead of Amplifier, also Delta Weezing would learn Overdrive as well.
Intoxicate gives Normal type moves turned into Poison type wih a x1.2 boost in their power.
Venomous could cause moves that poison the target badly poison it instead.
Synchronize in Pokémon Insurgence has basically the same field effect as in Generation 8, also No Guard does not affect One-hit knockout moves for balancing reasons.
Hubris is basically Grim Neigh, Ice Cleats is also basically Slush Rush, but unlike Ice Cleats, pokemon with Slush Rush will take damage from Hailstorm useless if its a Ice-Type.
As Ghost-type pokémon are immune to trapping moves since Generation 6, they're unaffected by the effects of Event Horizon. U-Turn, Volt Switch, Flip Turn, Baton Pass, Shed Tail and Chilly Reception can switch the user out even if it is trapped by Event Horizon, A pokemon holding Shed Shell will allow it to switch out even if it is under the effects of Event Horizon.
if only delta blastoise got shell smash. Dude that'd be insane (probably the best of the 3 since dark/fighting is great offensively). Stab mega launcher moves and shell smash is deadly
Man. It's been years since I 100% insurgence and uranium. This video makes me feel nostalgic.
I'm curious on what you think about the crests, and Aevian forms from Pokemon Rejuvenation.
I haven't played Rejuvenation yet, but maybe I'll check it out! ^^
Holy Jesus. This is awesome.
Oh, important thing to know about Crystal Ruinigross, its sort of a promotional thing for a fangame we are still waiting on called Azurite. We will hopefully get the battle simulator for it soon.
Yeah, I heard about that! That game looks promising! :D
Been years though, and little updates.
@@thediabolicalraisin8953 a battle simulator will be coming out hopefully soon, and they had a bunch of reveals on a different site
WE LOVE U SYLAPHY
Now it's only missing all insurgence mega evolutions video and insurgence best team video.
I'll get around to those eventually. :)
I feel like there isn't really a "best team"
The enemies are very diverse in what they throw at you, so adapting your team to fit is important, and adding the new mons you get along the way
(Especially that one fight that plays by different rules. Dang you ice Dinosaur!)
@@Terrivian_VessInsurgence isn't hard enough that you _have_ to switch out mons, even in the postgame. My second clear run had like, Mega Zebstrika on it and i still managed to beat the game just fine
Kyogre armored Mewtwo 3 crystal shard pokemon
Last slot can change I uses zygarde
That was my last team at least
No megas after venasaur haxorous and some others for fun
Beat me to asking about 'em.
Watching pokemon fangames guides even if i dont play pokemon at all? hell yea
Well, I'm glad you're watching regardless! :)
if you are doing a ice type monorun then there are very few good options for ice type megas. delta scizor is the best mega available before postgame.
Omg nostaaaaaalgia this is a good day
I’m currently making my own comment later on that basically goes over all the deltas before post game and these videos haven been very helpful!
Quality content
kinda wish there weren't so many mixed attackers
that just puts points into a stat it isn't going to use
also shedinja has defenses with only 1 hp, which could've been put into attacks and speed
this might be the only mon i'd be okay with making a mixed attacker if it's attacking stats were better
I literally missed almost every delta pokemon on my 1st playthrough. Ended up with probably the worst playthrough team anyone has ever used.
Wish a lot of the megas weren't lock to holon so I didn't just used Kyogre or giratina
And we'll online battle doesn't work so-
You can a Pokémon clover guide ( dope game btw)
Question: Would you Prefer Delta Weezing, Delta Gardevoir, or Delta Typhlosion?
Finally the sacred text
welp i know who to go to when i start my insurgence playthourgh when im done with xenoverse XD
I'm already seeing fun pokemon for a fairy monorun and I'm only 25 minutes in.
if u have the time please make a best team for pokémon insurgence with only deltas it would be very appreciated
As someone who has used some of the post-game deltas early on in the playthrough (traded for them) i can say that Delta Volcarona was surprisingly underwhelming. Dont get me wrong, it was very good, but it wasn't the sweeping monstrosity that i thought it would be.
Although... thinking back on it, one of my E4 strats for the special Pokenn pokemon was to solo one of the teams with volcarona.
Its suprising just how different a playstyle you get from removing quiver dance from it
You can either go for a full tilt, aggro sweeper by using its insane coverage or you can go for a bulky hazard setter with either the armour or black sludge, roost, T-Spikes, Venoshock and your choice of utility or coverage like whirlwind, earth power, knock off or dark pulse (roost is better imo as its more reliable healing then morning sun as well as having much more PP. also lets you mindgame)
I love how you fairies defy physics. The tale of the dragon should be able to smash you into the ground, causing damage, but for some reason you fairy types didn’t take damage from dragon tail.
Cockatrice pigeot is amazing
6:40 We gotta tell this to gamefreak before he makes the 50th bulky ice type
You should do a best team for Pokémon insurgence
I feel like Insurgence devs really should've been willing to reallocate stats when making the deltas. Some of these mons just get screwed over by their new type not meshing well with the role the original pokemon was designed to play, and new abilities are often not enough to make up for that(Also some of the mons deserved a little min-maxing to get over their hot-garbage BSTs).
Why'd you edit out the delta ditto morph joke? That was hilarious and I loved it
Haha, I noticed on my analytics that people clicked off around that time.. Also, I wasn't really proud of that joke myself. But I'm glad you found it funny though!
@@Sylaphy gotcha. Welp hey it was worth it in exchange for the extra tidbits you gave on the older Delta Pokemon. Well done and I can't wait for the next series
For delta sable
I think solid rock
Knock off, fakeout, wisp, detect
Tho megs is good so you go full support
I guess you can run spikes /iron defence / spite
Trick too but you need mega
Its certainly not good but is usable with defenses
Kyogre or haxor mega blow it away as offence.
I guess its better to compare this to smeargle?
I wish we also got that noctem ninetales
Oh stealth rock too
Double comment But Sylaphy can you tell me where D Gardivoirite can be located? And D bisharpite if it isn’t too much trouble
What would have helped all these deltas is if the Insurgance developers hadn't just copy pasted the stat spreads. Even if it saved time.
Sooo xenoverse is next ori a new fan game?
While I do hope she eventually gets back to xenoverse. I think she expressed before that she's gonna drop it cause she wasn't much of the design and function over the fakemons. Her next project is iirc solar light and lunar dark. Of which boy if you think it took her a long time to do insurgence, boy then it's gonna be wayyyy longer for sl/ld since it's a full fakedex of over 300 mons
Haha... about that. Solar Light and Lunar Dark are actually supposed to get an update soon-ish, so I have to put that series on hold.
Yummy content
Lovin it
That's a cute cat on your profile pic. :3
@@Sylaphy Yis shes my kitty, ive had her for 5 yrs now
so... what's next?
Gonna be honest, I'm actually not sure myself, haha.. I'm torn between quite a few fan-games.
@@Sylaphy well, i'll be watching with interest regardless.
Man why is the venasaur the only starter that makes any sense 😂
Let's be honest, delta charmander is just a worse giratina, and considering the monster that thing is in this game, I'd rather pick one of the other starters. I really like dragon types, but... Yeah no. I would like to skip on this one thank you.
I used it my first play through, it was dope until the league and is specialized enough to coexist on a team with Giritina, still your choice just thought I’d led you know
You forgot about Delta Airlines kappa
You missed delta meloetta
Nvm sorry I missed you saying it
PLS DO OTHER FANGAMES AS WELL
Haha, don't worry, I will!
: )
Have you tried pokerogue?
I have! Not gonna lie, it's pretty tough. I can barely get past the first rival battle, haha.
Can i dm you a picture of bunny’s on twitter
thanks for the compilation! i unfortunately have restricted youtube access so i only am able to use it sparsely throughout the week (with an alternative the rest of the time) and ive been slowly watching as much of this and your uranium videos as i can so one big neat video is very nice during work hours when my youtube works. have you ever thought about cross posting to other sites? there is one i personally use and would love to see your videos there so i can watch them any time but at the same time im not gonna name it unless you have thought of crossposting because i both dont want to seem like a bot doing an advert and also the comment sections on that site can get pretty toxic since its ran with 0 filters so people love to express freedom of speach a little too much
