Despite his weakness' I really like Rowlet. His stats fit more my kinda style, and I really like Grass Ghost as an offensive typing. I do agree that Popplio is definitely better for the adventure and I used Popplio first but I enjoy Rowlet more with the team comp. I had in mind.
Just a reminder because a lot of people probably skipped Eryizo's entire intro: There is no right or wrong starter pick, just because a starter is the strongest doesn't mean it's the best overall, if your favourite is not the strongest, don't get offended, you can pick that starter if you want to. Also I wanted to include movesets for all three I would use: Primarina: Sparkling Aria, Moonblast, Psychic and Ice Beam (Favourite final form) Incineroar: Darkest Lariat, Brick Break, Outrage, Flare Blitz (Favourite middle form) Decidueye: Leaf Blade, Spirit Shackle, Brave Bird, Roost (good first form but not my favourite because I love all three of their first stages)
Actually Ultra Sun is the second game I played... and I'm a noob because I chose: Sparkling Aria Hydro Pump Dazzling Gleam/Shadow Ball Moonblast Still, how did I kill the totems? (except Ribombee & Kommo'o) With Hydro Vortex (Sparkling Aria) & Oceanic Operetta and a few X Special Attacks... And overleved Primarina... it was level 52 when I got Primarium Z...
Well.. My favorite starter is Litten. That design is fantastic.. I love cats, so I picked "it" without thinking. I'm using Primarina (Moonblast, Sparkling Aria, Psychic, Ice Beam) for rebattling (and levelling) E4 and Decidueye for catching pokemon (Leaf Blade, Spirit ShUckle, False Swipe and Roost). So,.. I'm basically using every starter and I don't regret it.
+Jackson The Noscopers Commenting Channel, nah Litten is still pretty good tbh, Incineroar gets lots of type coverage in the games, and if you're willing to grind enough by fighting chansey and blissey in Poni Wilds, you can get outrage to fight totem Kommo-o. Plus the fact that incineroar also gets double kick which beats nearly every kahuna in the game, being able to defeat olivia and nanu, and being able to do some good against hapu using darkest lariat.
@@nathancallwood1531 statistically speaking rowlet is awful to start with unless you are a badass or grinds for hours and hours before progressing to any point in the game like my lame ass.
If you want a small advantage pick the fire type your cat should already be at final evolution and gets a dark type move and necrozma is weak to dark type moves
one thing to note is that ultra necrozma is a PSYCHIC DRAGON type which puts ALL of the starters at an advantage against it anyway making its battle negligible in the long run so its understandable that they missed it.
I freaking knew rowlett had some disadvantages, unfortunately for me I had a hard time with the game and I almost lost my mind with that fire totem Pokemon, I was not okay 🙃
incineroar gets thunder punch for flying/water types and gets early fightnium z for it's supposed "check" but they also didn't factor in how slow primarina is, and darklest lariat goes through totem defense boosts
I chose rowlet as my starter, ignoring what people have to say about it. I didn’t care if I was going to struggle or not, but I ended up having no struggles. Not a single time did my Decidueye fail in any battle, NOT EVEN THE TOTEMS PEOPLE “STRUGGLED” with, and its z move is amazing too, even when it’s not going to be a super effective move, the Pokemon I use it in ends up dying a slow death. I don’t understand why people underestimate this badass starter. They probably hate it because either they parroted what other people say, don’t know the true potential of it, or just don’t have a good team for it. I beat all of the totems 1st try without having to go to revive my Pokemon at the Pokemon center, never lost to any battle with Guzma, beat Ultra Necrozma in only 2 tries, and beat Hau by spamming sinister arrow raid and leaf blade. Stop underestimating Decidueye!
After all of the three playthroughs, I've had more fun with Incineroar. Followed by Decidueye then Primarina. Decidueye can be s great mon if you know how to use him and with great timing. Primarina was just too OP, I swept a lot with her which got boring
Think about it this way; only a TRUE champion would pick rowlet. Rowlet is gonna force you to get good at the game, and help you ascend to greater heights
WOOOOOOOO YASSSSSSSSSS POPPLIO IS AMAZING . It's my starter because popplio is my favorite, even though it's not the most famous starter. But popplio is amazing and awesome and it finally wins the title. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!
My opinion I hate popplio it doesn’t fit a place in my heart as a favorite it looks pretty ugly and even worst when it evolves that is why litten and rowlet is better...now idc what u say because it is my opinion I would never chose that creature and why is it so freaking overrated...We have charizard who is overrated as hell and I don’t like it...now here comes popplio which is even overrated than the fire breathing lizard and almost nobody focuses on rowlet nor litten but popplio is just trash....If I have to chose between popplio or garbordor I had to lick garbordor instead of popplio....And for the 50th time it is my opinion
I was surprized when i won against giovanni when he swept me with mewtwo, but when i sent out decidueye he beat it down to just one hp and i used shadow arrow raid i ohko-ed it :D i know its not the strongest but i just love its design :P
Looks like I picked the best starter this time around. Glad to know. :3 Still tho, Rowlet is great! It might not be that amazing when it comes to battling, but it's a damn convenient Pokémon to have. It has access to False Swipe pretty early on, and great recovery in Roost later on. And then gets that Ghost type too, making it immune to Normal, Fighting and also trapping. Out of the starters, I'd say it's easily the best SOS chainer.
I chose rowlet. I had some struggles on the fire type one, and dark i lost 2 times in a row, the most are really just great. I’m finally glad to see popplio getting attention as a rowlet fan myself. If you start the game, TRAIN YOUR ROWLET TO 10 BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS IN THE STORY IN THE BEGINNING.
Eh-hem... You guys completely forgot about 1 BIG portion of USUM: Team Rainbow Rocket Decidueye just destroys every single one of the grunts! Immune to ALL Raticates and Persians and Arboks and Golbats aren't doing jack to it that late in the game. Oh, AND they have Primeapes. They ain't gonna do jack!
That's a fair point, but Primarina can hold its own against them as well. With it being able to learn Psychic, and has a STAB Moonblast to counter the Primeapes, the only one it doesn't have the type advantage against are the Raticates and Persians, and those shouldn't be too difficult either. And while there are Electrodes, all you gotta do is use a Poke Doll or two and then you have no reason to worry about them.
I don't think any of the grunts have it, and even if they did they wouldn't do jack to you at that point of the game unless you left your Decidueye EXTREMELY underleveled.
I mean, they are all not THAT good at Ultra-Necrozma. The type combination gives them a benefit but this thing has an omni boost. A fucking OMNI-BOOST. It just destroys them with a neutral hit
@@gorilla_2282 And the coverage moves? He has a dragon, iron and rock move as coverage. It's maybe not super effective but does a lot of damage Especially Power Gem on Incineroar
Steve Burger Decidueye is the worst out of the three in battle. Its stats aren't well rounded and in the main story of the games it loses to mostly everything.
RhythmicChain same Popplio was easiest for me and Rowlet being second easiest and Litten being Hardest. It was my first actually losing a Pokémon battle since D/P. It was just hard to use all around it really wasn’t that good till you get to move relearner
Soooooooooo.... Long story short it goes like this - The "WORST" being (Rowlet) The second "BEST" being (Litten) and... The worlds "BEST" alolan starter (Popplio)
mark Winters dude the gender is randomly generated it doesn’t tell you until you check the summary so we technically don’t know since there are multiple
Personally i feel like this video undersells Rowlet a bit, just as the Sun/Moon video did. TL;DR for lazy people (longer write-up below): No, Rowlet doesn't sweep the game in a blaze of glory (neither do the other Starters, actually) and has its fair share of shortcomings, but it also has a lot of ways to overcome them. Its 'worse' than the other two Starters, but not as much as Chikorita or Snivy were in their respective games. It will not actually hold you back in the slightest, and though you will need to be a bit more strategic, it certainly is not weak. Trials/Kahunas: Sure, it's not great for the normal trial, but the other two starters don't do that much better. (Popplios diarming voice is only a small advantage, IMO) Its actually the best against Hala, since it actually gets STAB and not just coverage. Thanks to an early Flynium Z it wrecks the Water Trial. It can still do well against the Fire trial thanks to Ghost coverage - though it'll need a bit of support, which both other starters also require at points (If Popplio gets points because it gets Coverage, then so should Rowlet... and Litten too, who gets tons of Move Tutor stuff) The Grass trial, again, Flynium Z Olivia's difficult due to Rock weakness, but again, a bit of support should help, and getting Giga drain per Move Tutor isn't too shabby here Togedemaru is the first real Hickup, but at this point you should have something to cover for it if necessary. Its also very possible to have Decidueye here, and Spirit Shackle STAB should do well enough. Mimikyu works Ok-ish, again, with a bit of support (Paralysis) and maybe breaking Disguise lets you potentially oneshot it with Sinister Arrow Raid Nanu .. well, I've got nothing, but nobody said you have to solo the game, no? For Kommo-O you should still have Flying Coverage Options, and Sinister Arrow Raid continues to impress here (both Inci's and Prima's Z-Moves do shit here .. not that it matters for Prima) As for Ribombee, deci only gets hit neutral by both of its stabs, and you should still have Flying Coverage and that neat Flynium Z Hapu... do i even have to say it? Just Giga Drain her to death while laughing maniacally. Da Evulz: Team Skull ... Not actually as bad, Poison types are neutral after evolving, so are Bugs, and I'm not even mentioning the few Psychics that are there. Granted, stuff like Sucker Punch can still be a pain, but a) Deci gets it as well, and b) considering its mostly Coverage, Deci might even survive quite a few of them. Aether Foundation is all over the place, type wise, so why should they be judged diffenertly than any random Trainer? Against which every Starter should do OK? Plumeria's Poison Types are actually neutral, though i guess Golbat and Salazzle can be problematic, but again, we're not acually talking about soloing here Guzma again is mostly neutral, and Deci still gets Flying coverage and Flynium Z which can do a world of difference. The only thing that might be problematic is Golisopod thanks to Sucker Punch and maybe Vikavolt. Faba ... Sucker Punch, this time in favour of Deci. Should take care of Faba. And even without it, Faba's Pokemon can't do much, are weak to Spirit Shackle, and two of them can be Giga drained if needed. Bruxish should be the only thing that is mildly dangerous. Lusamine: Does well against Milotic, even with Ice Beam, and is sorta OK against Lilligant and Pixi. Lopunny might be difficult. No clue about Bewear tbh. All in all not terrible, but not awesome either. Other Bosses Nihilego Bossfight is meh, get something else to deal with it, but again, all three Starters have their shitty moments. Thatoneboss is actually ok, weaken it a bit, and Deci can Sinister Arrow Raid -> Sucker Punch it, while only getting hit neutrally. Elite 4: Actually does well against Olivia, can Sucker Punch most of Acerolas Team (should beat 2, dents the other 3, and Sinister Arrow Raid is still a thing btw) Hits most of Molaynes Team neutrally and might even be able to oneshot Metagross. Bisharp and Dugtrio might be a problem though Kahili is really the only thing it can't at least put some work in (though it might be able to finish stuff off with Sucker Punch if needed) Rivals: Gladio is kinda terrible, ill admit, though Type:Null/Silvally only becomes a problem later on, before that its at least not a bad matchup. Hau: Sucker Punch is your friend, ARaichu should fall to it (and before that, Pikachu doesnt do shit), Starter is no problem, Crabominable falls to Flying coverage, Tauros is meh, but doable. Leaving only Flareon and Noivern as problems. Not much worse here than the other Starters, IMO.
Rowlet: underrated and dislikes Litten: overrated and loved Popplio: very underrated and mildly dislikes even though it's the best starter in the game.
@@chupacadabra5161 Ember's Burn, Metal Claw's attack boost and the fact that most Rock-types have terrible Special Defense means that Charmander isn't as bad as most people think against Brock.
I choose Litten in my Ultra Moon Nuzlocke and he has been one of my best mons next to my Leafeon. (My Leafeon is a monster XD) Almost reached Necrozma and Im terrified. Most of my team can be KO by it....Already have a stragety of Hyper potions, but if it crits then Im dead.
Rei TheCS when I did my ultra sun nuzlocke I just used the toxic Mimikyu strat and any dead Pokémon I didn’t count because Ultra Necrozma is just bad for nuzlockes
Lol teach Primarima Psychic and it will still destroy basically every poison type in the game... it was my only poison counter until Poni Island. Also Primarina’s got a nice Sp Def so it won’t get OHKOd by most poison types anyways
Made From Trash i cant stand the cheesy and overdone "oh this is a cross over lets pretend we haven't planned it" bullshit that happens with poketubera
I chose rowlet as my starter, ignoring what people have to say about it. I didn’t care if I was going to struggle or not, but I ended up having no struggles. Not a single time did my Decidueye fail in any battle, NOT EVEN THE TOTEMS PEOPLE “STRUGGLED” with, and its z move is amazing too, even when it’s not going to be a super effective move, the Pokemon I use it in ends up dying a slow death.

Stop underestimating Decidueye!
Sofia the Oushi imo decidueye is really bad. I had no troubles with any battle except for lurantis. I got necrozma in about a hit or two, and in online battles got a decidueye out in a single hit with an ice type move. Tbh primarina and popplio are better
I often ended up with water type starters anyway, since the older games had a rival which would pick the grass type, but since wat types have access to ice moves I considered myself advanced over fire and equal to grass. Thanks for the video though. It added quite some things I didn't know.
I think litten b/c it has more ups than sun and moon and is was the best before and I used it and it made the game a lot easier unless you’re including post game but I feel like even if you did litten would still win
I thought it would be litten because all of the changes help litten and I think it has the most advantages and the most diverse move pull of the three which can help with the few disadvantages litten has also hau still has raichu sure poplio does better with kahunas but that’s all it’s better at
Let me know if you agree with me and I won’t be mad if you don’t.Also I’m not hating on poplio I love them all but I feel like poplio falls short in USUM and I think it should have been the second best starter (STATISTICALLY)
I knew Popplio was the best from the start because it got through the entire game. I just wanted to make sure which starter Pokemon was the best. I always use water Pokemon when I play any kind of Pokemon game and I completely get through each game with that Pokemon that I get.
I did pretty well with Rowlet,mostly because I kept in more than 10 levels and gave it quick claw so when in struggles I could get enough attacks before getting my charmander and squirtle to get through most trials
Hmm I don't really like the spoiler. I just started playing Pokemon again with Ultra Sun. There are people who haven't played Sun/Moon before the Ultra version. :/
Moose Gaming I mean competitively he was banned with his hidden ability and fake out so he’s the best from that alone😂. That kitty finna end up banned in Sword and Shield too funny enough and the other two might end up in NU which is sad but a lot of S and M Pokémon have terrible stats.
I love decidueye good looking Pokémon loved the shiny love his z move but they FUCKED UP with his stats like they had something amazing then yeeted it out the window
Um.... by the time you reach kiawe's trial, you'll most likely have a water-type. You never take into account the fact that you'll most likely have a Pokemon that can handle any starter's disadvantage.
My opinion is rowlet but i think there all equal and my reasons are because: water beats fire beats grass and grass beats water i believe just choose who you like the best and get your pokemon to max affection its really good for your pokemon
First, great videos, the vids are both informative and funny👍👍👍. Strange coincidence though, I chose Litten in Moon and Poplio in Ultra Sun before I watched both of the Alola videos.
It doesn’t really matter what starter you choose as long as you have a pokemon that can deafeat a pokemon that has an advantage againts your starter pokemon
Now, I won't argue that you guys put a lot of effort into studying the starters, but I had the easiest time playing through this game with Rowlet. I actually had the hardest time with Primarina through the game
I gotta say that its true that going with rowlet is difficult but with a mix and complete team the game becomes way easier with him. I personnally finished the game very easly with him
Strange, it was very easy for me to play through with Rowlet starter. I only had some difficulty with certain type fights on a few occasions. I always made sure I had different type pokemon in my party for fights just in case. ^^ Hau was never an issue for me.
You want to hear a minor annoyance? *I beat the whole game with a Rowlet starter. It requires saving really good moves! (Or using the sweet sweet TMs! Go back to the mall, and get the super strong move Frenzy Plant! It can be really good on the lightning battle!!!!*
Knew made the right choice and was just because design, now to know Incineroar is the best in overall. Atttack, bulk, natural good moves, useful optional habilities and typing with the only minus being speed which can be easy to fix.
This is why Poplio is so Definatly the best. 1. So, cute! 2. If you don't like Poplio you're absolutely crazy. 3. The best choice to sucseed in the game 4. What it says ( Bwark )
Popplio is my favourite Alola Starters because Primarina the final evolve form of Popplio is more as a female mermaid 💧🧜♀️and perfect for female trainers like me💖.
Best Team will be next week or the week after! Get ready guys (:
MysticUmbreon hey
MysticUmbreon add liten
Add litten as well event pokemon plz
MysticUmbreon yayayaya
Can you use Litten instead cause Erizo didint take into account that he learns fighting type moves.
I'm watching this before I play ultra sun.
*I DID A SMART*
Same
I also
me too!
You a smart
Yesh u did do a big boi brain play
Despite his weakness' I really like Rowlet. His stats fit more my kinda style, and I really like Grass Ghost as an offensive typing. I do agree that Popplio is definitely better for the adventure and I used Popplio first but I enjoy Rowlet more with the team comp. I had in mind.
I beat the game in 6 days with rowlet including team rr
Really fun to work on this! Thanks for having me!
Supra keep up the work man!
Supra hi supra
Good thing I picked popplio 😂
I just don't Popplio Mann!! 😒
Supra good job interrupting Eryizo
Want to hear something that will trigger you?
I picked popplio and destroyed Lusamine's team
It didnt trigger me cos popplio numba one
I love popplio
the glaceon queen
Lol same
Hell yeah, Popplio is the best Alola Starter :)
My Prismarina has Sparkling Aria, Psychic, and Moonblast. It also has Round but thats so I don't kill legendaries in one shot.
Just a reminder because a lot of people probably skipped Eryizo's entire intro: There is no right or wrong starter pick, just because a starter is the strongest doesn't mean it's the best overall, if your favourite is not the strongest, don't get offended, you can pick that starter if you want to. Also I wanted to include movesets for all three I would use:
Primarina: Sparkling Aria, Moonblast, Psychic and Ice Beam (Favourite final form)
Incineroar: Darkest Lariat, Brick Break, Outrage, Flare Blitz (Favourite middle form)
Decidueye: Leaf Blade, Spirit Shackle, Brave Bird, Roost (good first form but not my favourite because I love all three of their first stages)
xMeowItsZufix Actually, I use hidden power with my Primarina, it’s type is ghost
Jennifer Yaar Why would you use Hidden Power ghost when it can learn Shadow Ball?
Pro tip, Rowlet's line is godly when you get the Scope Lens (which you get pretty early iirc)
I agree there is no right or wrong starter and I respect opinions on the alola starters
Actually Ultra Sun is the second game I played... and I'm a noob because I chose:
Sparkling Aria
Hydro Pump
Dazzling Gleam/Shadow Ball
Moonblast
Still, how did I kill the totems? (except Ribombee & Kommo'o)
With Hydro Vortex (Sparkling Aria) & Oceanic Operetta and a few X Special Attacks...
And overleved Primarina... it was level 52 when I got Primarium Z...

Well..
My favorite starter is Litten. That design is fantastic.. I love cats, so I picked "it" without thinking.
I'm using Primarina (Moonblast, Sparkling Aria, Psychic, Ice Beam) for rebattling (and levelling) E4 and Decidueye for catching pokemon (Leaf Blade, Spirit ShUckle, False Swipe and Roost).
So,.. I'm basically using every starter and I don't regret it.
Mikaela Shindo When I started playing Sun/Moon ,I chose Litten,pikipek,pikachu, yungoos,&Solgaleo!
Mikaela Shindo My favorite is Litten too.
My favorite is litten too but if i want to beat the game faster im gonna have to pick popplio
+Jackson The Noscopers Commenting Channel, nah Litten is still pretty good tbh, Incineroar gets lots of type coverage in the games, and if you're willing to grind enough by fighting chansey and blissey in Poni Wilds, you can get outrage to fight totem Kommo-o.

Seriously? You are a total noob
I chose Popplio, Yay I also one hit, KO almost all the totems!
Arbo’ The Arbok me too but i struggle because my team was under leveled so I cheated and traded over leveled Pokémon from my normal sun version
I chose rowlet because popplio suck as shit
@@nathancallwood1531 statistically speaking rowlet is awful to start with unless you are a badass or grinds for hours and hours before progressing to any point in the game like my lame ass.
Were you able to K.O. Totem Lurantis???
I chose Popplio and surprisingly, I easily defeated Togedemaru with Primarina, which I REALLY didn't see that coming.
Guys you forgot to do ultra necrozma
It's kinda important...
Yea
If you want a small advantage pick the fire type your cat should already be at final evolution and gets a dark type move and necrozma is weak to dark type moves
Poppilo has fairy type moves soooo
It's kinda pointless to include. All 3 starters have type advantage on it but its gonna one shot them all anyways so why does it matter.
one thing to note is that ultra necrozma is a PSYCHIC DRAGON type which puts ALL of the starters at an advantage against it anyway making its battle negligible in the long run so its understandable that they missed it.
I freaking knew rowlett had some disadvantages, unfortunately for me I had a hard time with the game and I almost lost my mind with that fire totem Pokemon, I was not okay 🙃
I know how to deleat save data you hold up on the dpad with x and b on the title screen
10:08 I detect a small error here, as last I checked, none of the moves on Gladion's Lucario are super effective to Primarina.
Best team for ultra sun and ultra moon?🤔

I bodied totem raticate with double kick on my litten
ChrisPlayz Games level 16 is when it gets double kick so if any starter is 16 that trial is easy
Totem raticate will die if I disarming voice it few times :)
incineroar gets thunder punch for flying/water types and gets early fightnium z for it's supposed "check" but they also didn't factor in how slow primarina is, and darklest lariat goes through totem defense boosts
Jacob Jones incinaroar and primarina are the same speed and decidueye is 10 base points faster 😂😂, they’re all slow

Stop underestimating Decidueye!
But Eryizo didn’t rage that Popplio won.
bro thanks rowlet is boss
"Very unlikely" *coughs as I accidentally over levels and clears everything in the island fast by accident*
Another thing that makes popplio great for the game is that it can learn psychic and ice beam as primarina , thus eliminating two of its 3 weaknesses
I don’t care if Rowlet sucks! He is my favorite Pokémon!
NightlyNinja Preach, brutha.
NightlyNinja #TeamRowlet
Same
NightlyNinja agreed
I destroyed this game with Decidueye. Hands down best alolan starter to me #TeamRowlet
You forgot that Primarina can be taught Psychic , which can knock out most poison types if you are faster of have great Sp Atk
Delta kai09 give Primarina a quick claw
Bro if u are faster? Lol. I don't think it will be out speeding anything with that pitiful base 60 speed.
speed is not going to be a problem if have a bulky special defense
After all of the three playthroughs, I've had more fun with Incineroar. Followed by Decidueye then Primarina. Decidueye can be s great mon if you know how to use him and with great timing. Primarina was just too OP, I swept a lot with her which got boring

Smile Giovanni wasnt a challenge even without a legendary so you might as well use it since it looks so damn cool
Looks like I picked the best starter this time around. Glad to know. :3
Still tho, Rowlet is great! It might not be that amazing when it comes to battling, but it's a damn convenient Pokémon to have. It has access to False Swipe pretty early on, and great recovery in Roost later on. And then gets that Ghost type too, making it immune to Normal, Fighting and also trapping. Out of the starters, I'd say it's easily the best SOS chainer.
I chose rowlet.
I had some struggles on the fire type one, and dark i lost 2 times in a row, the most are really just great. I’m finally glad to see popplio getting attention as a rowlet fan myself. If you start the game, TRAIN YOUR ROWLET TO 10 BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS IN THE STORY IN THE BEGINNING.

That's a fair point, but Primarina can hold its own against them as well. With it being able to learn Psychic, and has a STAB Moonblast to counter the Primeapes, the only one it doesn't have the type advantage against are the Raticates and Persians, and those shouldn't be too difficult either.
And while there are Electrodes, all you gotta do is use a Poke Doll or two and then you have no reason to worry about them.
I don't think any of the grunts have it, and even if they did they wouldn't do jack to you at that point of the game unless you left your Decidueye EXTREMELY underleveled.
Team RR is post-game. They are talking about the main story.

EDIT: I forgot my Sun set up but I’m little over half way on Ultra Sun
DID U REALLY FORGET NECROZMA!? IT'S LIKE THE MAIN PART OF THE GAME!
I know right
Necrozma is so east to beat
I mean, they are all not THAT good at Ultra-Necrozma. The type combination gives them a benefit but this thing has an omni boost. A fucking OMNI-BOOST.
It just destroys them with a neutral hit
@@sir.zermaroon3894 Yes, psychic type definitely gonna kill dark type Pokemon
@@gorilla_2282 And the coverage moves? He has a dragon, iron and rock move as coverage. It's maybe not super effective but does a lot of damage
Especially Power Gem on Incineroar
Rowlet is my fave his entire line is certified Butler and I love it also Rowlet line isn't hard to use at all
Digi Tamer J yes it is hard to use unless you overlevel
Stupid Intelligence nah Rowlet beats everyone in 1 hit.
Steve Burger Decidueye is the worst out of the three in battle. Its stats aren't well rounded and in the main story of the games it loses to mostly everything.
Stupid Intelligence I've played with the three the one I struggled the most with was litten
RhythmicChain same Popplio was easiest for me and Rowlet being second easiest and Litten being Hardest. It was my first actually losing a Pokémon battle since D/P. It was just hard to use all around it really wasn’t that good till you get to move relearner
0:55 What are you, Jolteon?
Pokemon talk reference.
:)
josiah jenks
*+Angela Silva Cardona* Yes?
THE FLOOR TENTACLES ARE DROWNING ME!
I love all of the gen 7 starter pokemon. But I choose Incenaroar. Now shes level 100. But I gotta admit 7th generation starters are the best to me.
Gen 3>
Soooooooooo....
Long story short it goes like this -
The "WORST" being (Rowlet)
The second "BEST" being (Litten) and...
The worlds "BEST" alolan starter (Popplio)
Mysterious Games thx
Cubric rowlet best
Nuuuuu rowletttttttt
That moment when im still not struggling at all with rowlet started xD but I understand the disadvantages
Crap, I was really hoping it was litten because he’s my favorite
Camden Murray well we don’t know if it’ll be a she but I was hoping the same thing
@@totallyahuman5481 you do know that is says it in the game Ethier play the game or watch some eps
mark Winters dude the gender is randomly generated it doesn’t tell you until you check the summary so we technically don’t know since there are multiple
mark Winters also I have played the games both moon and ultra moon
How dare you
Personally i feel like this video undersells Rowlet a bit, just as the Sun/Moon video did.
TL;DR for lazy people (longer write-up below): No, Rowlet doesn't sweep the game in a blaze of glory (neither do the other Starters, actually) and has its fair share of shortcomings, but it also has a lot of ways to overcome them.
Its 'worse' than the other two Starters, but not as much as Chikorita or Snivy were in their respective games. It will not actually hold you back in the slightest, and though you will need to be a bit more strategic, it certainly is not weak.
Trials/Kahunas:
Sure, it's not great for the normal trial, but the other two starters don't do that much better. (Popplios diarming voice is only a small advantage, IMO)
Its actually the best against Hala, since it actually gets STAB and not just coverage.
Thanks to an early Flynium Z it wrecks the Water Trial.
It can still do well against the Fire trial thanks to Ghost coverage - though it'll need a bit of support, which both other starters also require at points (If Popplio gets points because it gets Coverage, then so should Rowlet... and Litten too, who gets tons of Move Tutor stuff)
The Grass trial, again, Flynium Z
Olivia's difficult due to Rock weakness, but again, a bit of support should help, and getting Giga drain per Move Tutor isn't too shabby here
Togedemaru is the first real Hickup, but at this point you should have something to cover for it if necessary. Its also very possible to have Decidueye here, and Spirit Shackle STAB should do well enough.
Mimikyu works Ok-ish, again, with a bit of support (Paralysis) and maybe breaking Disguise lets you potentially oneshot it with Sinister Arrow Raid
Nanu .. well, I've got nothing, but nobody said you have to solo the game, no?
For Kommo-O you should still have Flying Coverage Options, and Sinister Arrow Raid continues to impress here (both Inci's and Prima's Z-Moves do shit here .. not that it matters for Prima)
As for Ribombee, deci only gets hit neutral by both of its stabs, and you should still have Flying Coverage and that neat Flynium Z
Hapu... do i even have to say it? Just Giga Drain her to death while laughing maniacally.
Da Evulz:
Team Skull ... Not actually as bad, Poison types are neutral after evolving, so are Bugs, and I'm not even mentioning the few Psychics that are there. Granted, stuff like Sucker Punch can still be a pain, but a) Deci gets it as well, and b) considering its mostly Coverage, Deci might even survive quite a few of them.
Aether Foundation is all over the place, type wise, so why should they be judged diffenertly than any random Trainer? Against which every Starter should do OK?
Plumeria's Poison Types are actually neutral, though i guess Golbat and Salazzle can be problematic, but again, we're not acually talking about soloing here
Guzma again is mostly neutral, and Deci still gets Flying coverage and Flynium Z which can do a world of difference. The only thing that might be problematic is Golisopod thanks to Sucker Punch and maybe Vikavolt.
Faba ... Sucker Punch, this time in favour of Deci. Should take care of Faba. And even without it, Faba's Pokemon can't do much, are weak to Spirit Shackle, and two of them can be Giga drained if needed. Bruxish should be the only thing that is mildly dangerous.
Lusamine: Does well against Milotic, even with Ice Beam, and is sorta OK against Lilligant and Pixi. Lopunny might be difficult. No clue about Bewear tbh. All in all not terrible, but not awesome either.
Other Bosses
Nihilego Bossfight is meh, get something else to deal with it, but again, all three Starters have their shitty moments.
Thatoneboss is actually ok, weaken it a bit, and Deci can Sinister Arrow Raid -> Sucker Punch it, while only getting hit neutrally.
Elite 4:
Actually does well against Olivia, can Sucker Punch most of Acerolas Team (should beat 2, dents the other 3, and Sinister Arrow Raid is still a thing btw)
Hits most of Molaynes Team neutrally and might even be able to oneshot Metagross. Bisharp and Dugtrio might be a problem though
Kahili is really the only thing it can't at least put some work in (though it might be able to finish stuff off with Sucker Punch if needed)
Rivals:
Gladio is kinda terrible, ill admit, though Type:Null/Silvally only becomes a problem later on, before that its at least not a bad matchup.
Hau: Sucker Punch is your friend, ARaichu should fall to it (and before that, Pikachu doesnt do shit), Starter is no problem, Crabominable falls to Flying coverage, Tauros is meh, but doable. Leaving only Flareon and Noivern as problems. Not much worse here than the other Starters, IMO.
Rowlet: underrated and dislikes
Litten: overrated and loved
Popplio: very underrated and mildly dislikes even though it's the best starter in the game.
Plainrocky123 everyone likes rowlet tho
I'd say Rowlet's overrated and is more liked
U do realize in Japan Rowlet is the most loved starter right?
You're wrong. Rowlet is definitely liked and i wouldn't say that its underrated.
What did you say?Almost EVERY SINGLE TH-camR picked Rowlet.So yeah...
from the begining of time Grass has always been the hardest starter to use, fire fairs well, water is easy mode
Not in Kanto
@@owo4288 True, Charmander will have a tough time with Brock and Misty, but Squirtle and Bulbasaur won't.
@@chupacadabra5161 Ember's Burn, Metal Claw's attack boost and the fact that most Rock-types have terrible Special Defense means that Charmander isn't as bad as most people think against Brock.
Subbed to both.
Three videos in one week
Somebody stop him, he might burn out!
I choose Litten in my Ultra Moon Nuzlocke and he has been one of my best mons next to my Leafeon. (My Leafeon is a monster XD)
Almost reached Necrozma and Im terrified. Most of my team can be KO by it....Already have a stragety of Hyper potions, but if it crits then Im dead.
Rei TheCS when I did my ultra sun nuzlocke I just used the toxic Mimikyu strat and any dead Pokémon I didn’t count because Ultra Necrozma is just bad for nuzlockes
@@knightpog48 I actually used my Zoroark(In Leafeon form) and beat it with 2 Night Slashes while my Zoroark had full hp. :3
Not sure if this would cause litten to win but litten gets leach life from tm right before Olivia for Nanu's dark types
CharizardX007 that still won't help
GalacticGallade bug beats dark plus the recovery was why I mentioned it
Bulbasaur is boss ;)
Leech Life sucks still
x L 2 u realize its base 80 power as of sun and moon not base 20 like in previous generations
Lol teach Primarima Psychic and it will still destroy basically every poison type in the game... it was my only poison counter until Poni Island. Also Primarina’s got a nice Sp Def so it won’t get OHKOd by most poison types anyways
I chose Rowlet over Popplio the first time I played Ultra Sun. And I thought I made a right choice.
Video starts at 2:57. You can thank me later.
Made From Trash i cant stand the cheesy and overdone "oh this is a cross over lets pretend we haven't planned it" bullshit that happens with poketubera
#TEAMROWLET
just look at that bow tie
My boy lookin "fly" as fuck
essketit
Yes
Thats so true
I chose rowlet as my starter, ignoring what people have to say about it. I didn’t care if I was going to struggle or not, but I ended up having no struggles. Not a single time did my Decidueye fail in any battle, NOT EVEN THE TOTEMS PEOPLE “STRUGGLED” with, and its z move is amazing too, even when it’s not going to be a super effective move, the Pokemon I use it in ends up dying a slow death. I don’t understand why people underestimate this badass starter. They probably hate it because either they parroted what other people say, don’t know the true potential of it, or just don’t have a good team for it. I beat all of the totems 1st try without having to go to revive my Pokemon at the Pokemon center, never lost to any battle with Guzma, beat Ultra Necrozma in only 2 tries, and beat Hau by spamming sinister arrow raid and leaf blade. Stop underestimating Decidueye!
Sofia the Oushi imo decidueye is really bad. I had no troubles with any battle except for lurantis. I got necrozma in about a hit or two, and in online battles got a decidueye out in a single hit with an ice type move. Tbh primarina and popplio are better
I often ended up with water type starters anyway, since the older games had a rival which would pick the grass type, but since wat types have access to ice moves I considered myself advanced over fire and equal to grass.
Thanks for the video though. It added quite some things I didn't know.
Thats why i pick popplio in UltraMoon i already played UltraSun and picked litten
I think litten b/c it has more ups than sun and moon and is was the best before and I used it and it made the game a lot easier unless you’re including post game but I feel like even if you did litten would still win
I was wrong...D: well congrats to poplio I love all the starters so I can’t really be mad
I thought it would be litten because all of the changes help litten and I think it has the most advantages and the most diverse move pull of the three which can help with the few disadvantages litten has also hau still has raichu sure poplio does better with kahunas but that’s all it’s better at
Let me know if you agree with me and I won’t be mad if you don’t.Also I’m not hating on poplio I love them all but I feel like poplio falls short in USUM and I think it should have been the second best starter (STATISTICALLY)
I agree. issue I have with Popplio is that I prefer Pyukumuku and Ribombee exists so yeah. Incineroar is very useful.
Litten was worst for me and Rowlet was best for me lol
I knew Popplio was the best from the start because it got through the entire game. I just wanted to make sure which starter Pokemon was the best. I always use water Pokemon when I play any kind of Pokemon game and I completely get through each game with that Pokemon that I get.
Is it me or does eryizo's avatar has more emotion
But who is the best starter in ultra sun and moon using island scan
Stop think about when u can get it and all other fire starters that are and will be available
lol no
NOW THIS IS INTERESTING
According to MandJ TV Pokevids, Swampert.
NinjaBoy8910 Mega Evolution isn't available until after the League.
I did pretty well with Rowlet,mostly because I kept in more than 10 levels and gave it quick claw so when in struggles I could get enough attacks before getting my charmander and squirtle to get through most trials
At the end of the first island rowlet can use two z moves. The first is normaliamZ the second is Flyuiam Z (You need a tauros to get that)
Yay minor spoilers X_X good video tho :)
Hmm I don't really like the spoiler. I just started playing Pokemon again with Ultra Sun. There are people who haven't played Sun/Moon before the Ultra version. :/
Its a coincidence that one of the most hated starter is like the best starter to pick
Yea if you could do a video about starters that doesn't spoil every aspect of the game that would be nice.
True
And now I know 4 of the "FEATs" in this series xD
The best starters types through ultras sun and ultra moon
Fire 4
Water 3
Grass 1
But I would have to assume that will change
I one shot togedemaru with waterium z primarina
Bill theblackguy I did too!
???
Game Chef brionne evolves at level 34
Bill theblackguy LUCKY
One shot With Fire fang. Get on litten's level
Video starts at 2:40
Henry A lol
I'm glad that Rowlet is labeled as the weakest starter in general and Popplio is labeled as the strongest starter in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Everyone: Incineroar is probably the best and it’s in smash. You should definitely use it.
Me: but it ugly
primarina is better
Say that in my presence on more time
Moose Gaming I mean competitively he was banned with his hidden ability and fake out so he’s the best from that alone😂. That kitty finna end up banned in Sword and Shield too funny enough and the other two might end up in NU which is sad but a lot of S and M Pokémon have terrible stats.
I'm just going to guess based off of ultra necrozma and say primarina
The cat In the hat nah decidueye can one shot z move it
*cough smart strike cough
I love decidueye good looking Pokémon loved the shiny love his z move but they FUCKED UP with his stats like they had something amazing then yeeted it out the window
I just spammed moonblast it kept on hanging in
I beat ultra necrozma by getting mystery gift ho-oh then two shooting it with the lvl100 ho-oh with brave bird
Um.... by the time you reach kiawe's trial, you'll most likely have a water-type. You never take into account the fact that you'll most likely have a Pokemon that can handle any starter's disadvantage.
I'm still using litten for all of my games with him
I will probably pick poplio because i like primarinas desing more than dedicueyes... Rowlet is still cute ❤️
Game Chef Do you have a fucking problem with a transgender person? I'm not bisexual or anything but that's fucked up.
Yeah
My opinion is rowlet but i think there all equal and my reasons are because: water beats fire beats grass and grass beats water i believe just choose who you like the best and get your pokemon to max affection its really good for your pokemon
I have a mewtwo as a starter so I'm good with the elite 4.
Not Acerola though
I love all of them but when I hear that my FAVOURITE is rubbish...
First, great videos, the vids are both informative and funny👍👍👍. Strange coincidence though, I chose Litten in Moon and Poplio in Ultra Sun before I watched both of the Alola videos.
No... No gosh please no... no... NOOOO!!! LITTEN IS TOO LIT FOR THIS!
Game Chef its not primarina is just the easiest
Game Chef inciniroar has access to leech life, nuff said
What do you mean by that?
Wildcat 1999 No, Fuck you. Incineroar is trash if you knew anything about battling lol. And it looks like complete piss lol
Game Chef inciniroar has darkest lariat, if you knew what it did you'd be singing a different tune dumbass
It doesn’t really matter what starter you choose as long as you have a pokemon that can deafeat a pokemon that has an advantage againts your starter pokemon
Now, I won't argue that you guys put a lot of effort into studying the starters, but I had the easiest time playing through this game with Rowlet. I actually had the hardest time with Primarina through the game
Looks like i played the game in hard mode like a real OG. Decidueye gang
BosnianDiamond overleveling always helps me XD
forpiepress 1 SAME
#PopplioForDaWin
Video Game Precure
*Popplio
Lily Mega Eevee whoops Sry
Guys you forgot that since litten gets double kick he can do good damage against Olivia or incenaroar with cross chop
Litten is my favorite because It's the cutest of the 3.
I am the cutest bc incineroar is just hideous.
I beat totem marowak with one spirit shackle from my decidueye wtf
That's SO COOL! Your so awesome and should have a lot of subscribers!!
*Wait a minute*
tenta is a fucking joke dood did you just respond to your own comment..
@@k41511 yep
I gotta say that its true that going with rowlet is difficult but with a mix and complete team the game becomes way easier with him. I personnally finished the game very easly with him
When your a rebel pebble and you use rowlet after being told it is the worst
😎 #gangsta4life
Your pfp makes it look like you're 12
And the fact you use emojis
And hashtags...
And the phrase "rebel pebble"
I chose litten and I didn't hade a proplem
Marcos Alonzo your grammar does have problems
Strange, it was very easy for me to play through with Rowlet starter. I only had some difficulty with certain type fights on a few occasions. I always made sure I had different type pokemon in my party for fights just in case. ^^ Hau was never an issue for me.
Rowlet is still the worst
I always choose water pokemon since Kanto
6:17 zackscottgame's torracat, l-dawg!
You want to hear a minor annoyance?
*I beat the whole game with a Rowlet starter. It requires saving really good moves! (Or using the sweet sweet TMs! Go back to the mall, and get the super strong move Frenzy Plant! It can be really good on the lightning battle!!!!*
Primarina is clearly the best between the three.
People just can't agree with the fact.
Team Poplio
Wizrol #2 yeah!
If you're gonna be on team popplio, you should probably know how to spell his name right, just saying.
SAME
Team popplio! I had Seamarina at the trial with lurantis too XD
Thank you for being on my side, everybody! So many people underestimate me!
You guys forgot about the ultra necrozma battle, which might have changed the outcome. Other than that, Excellent video!
Forget that, I'm still the best!
Incineroar ya are in my book buddy. You are in mine.
robloxfan2005 how is it sexist? It's awesome
Incineroar your trash at battling tho 😂
GalacticGallade not as bad as decidueye. Wait till he gets intimidate
*sigh*
Will I ever heard the word
"ROWLET IS THE BEST STARTER."
Evelyn Borbano probably not lol
No
Kinda is
Knew made the right choice and was just because design, now to know Incineroar is the best in overall.
Atttack, bulk, natural good moves, useful optional habilities and typing with the only minus being speed which can be easy to fix.
Popplio has always been my favoiter starter... I all pick the water starter all the time :)) So yaya
YUSSSSSS
POPPLIO IS THE BEST STARTER
This is why Poplio is so Definatly the best.
1. So, cute!
2. If you don't like Poplio you're absolutely crazy.
3. The best choice to sucseed in the game
4. What it says ( Bwark )
Make one for Omega and alpha saphire
th-cam.com/video/jyz8LiKDR6s/w-d-xo.html
You guys need to chill on my boy rowlet, hes trying ok?(btw this is a joke)
Popplio is my favourite Alola Starters because Primarina the final evolve form of Popplio is more as a female mermaid 💧🧜♀️and perfect for female trainers like me💖.
I also personally really like Popplio! It was always the one that I liked the best, and I was not disappointed.
You guys didn't mention Ultra Necrozma which Primerina has an advantage against. (So does Incineroar but it's so slow it will get one shotted.)
My incineroar did great against ultra nercrozma
My incineroar was the one who one shotted necrozma.
Primarina and Incineroar has the same base speed...
